I am Honkai!

Chapter 160 The seventh chapter is deep in the imperial capital, I want to return to the fief

"no problem."

"Very good, I will give you a week to transfer the materials of the experimental workshop. If there is not enough manpower, I will send the imperial guards to take care of it for you. Go get ready."

"Yes." Dr. Fashion said immediately.

After Dr. Fashion left, Selene pondered for a moment, and stretched out a piece of paper. The next moment, the book of the whole world appeared in Selene's hands.

Spreading out the whole world book, Selene carefully looked at the distribution of resources in the northern border of the empire. Unlike the warm central and southern regions of the empire, due to the severe cold climate, most of the northern border of the empire was still in an undeveloped and wild state.

Minerals, forests, wild animals and other natural resources are extremely rich, and even the legendary super dangerous species in the extreme north have obvious signs of activity.

Since it is an undeveloped wild land, it means that there may still be a large amount of Ohari steel and other rare metals used to make Teigu here, but it has not been excavated.

This is also the reason why Selene attaches so much importance to the northern fief and gradually shifts the focus of development to the northern border of the empire. Whether it is building a large-scale industrial base or replicating Teigu, it is inseparable from the support of a large amount of resources.

Instead of waiting for the raw materials to travel long distances to the imperial capital, it is better to get the raw materials directly and transfer the workshop to the place where the raw materials are produced.

As for why you must bring Dr. Fashion, isn’t it because you value his research and development capabilities? Teigu, Teigu’s production methods, and how to integrate Ohari steel with other rare metals and dangerous materials. knew.

And Dr. Fashion, as the chief scientist of the Imperial Science Bureau, believes that he should have some understanding of those ancient production methods.

Coupled with Dr. Fashion's amazing body transformation technology, he was able to insert so many weapons into the human body, and let the experimental subjects move freely without the slightest rejection reaction.

Although there is Teigu's help in this, Teigu is just a tool to assist.

If it were someone who didn't have a little knowledge base, even if he pretended to be a god tool: God's Hand · [Perfect One], he probably wouldn't be able to do that. At most, he would be able to make all kinds of precise movements with his fingers.

Selene still believes in Dr. Fashion's scientific research level.

......

The next day, the Palace of the Dukes of Habsburg.

In the morning, as usual, Selene sat in her palace-style dining room and tasted desserts.

"Huh? You came all the way here... Is there something for you?" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first.

"I heard that Esdes is going to leave the Imperial Guard system? What's going on?"

Following Selene's inquiry, a tall figure close to two meters in height walked in from the other side of the palace and entered Selene's sight.

This kind of meticulousness lingers around a sense of self-discipline that seems to have been strict with self-discipline for the past few decades. You don't have to guess, it is the imperial general who is tied with Selene, Bude.

"I have seen General Bude." The waiters around the restaurant immediately bowed to Bude the moment they saw Bude.

Slightly nodding, Bude was not polite, sat directly opposite Selene, and asked with a serious face: "Although I don't understand your relationship very well, why did you agree to Esdes' request to withdraw from the Imperial Guard?" ?”

"The Praetorian circle is too small."

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Selene said flatly, "Let's not talk about anything else. We are two generals in the Imperial Guards. She will not be able to get ahead in her life. Of course, she will find another way out."

"And most importantly, hate."

"Hate? Esdeth's... is the genocide against the alien race in the north." Apparently, Bude had investigated Esdeth's information.

"That's right... With her pride, she doesn't bother to accept our handouts for revenge, why don't you let her out to grow wildly, and you don't really think that Estes will obey that fat man named Ernest order."

"Unnecessary worries."

Bude thought about it, and it seems that there is really no need to worry about Ernest, "It is true...With the two of us here, Ernest can't make any troubles, but that fat man has gone too far recently...Forget it , don't talk about these things. Bad luck!"

"Let's talk about the business first." Then, Bud looked at Selene with a more serious expression, and said in his inhuman and cold voice: "General Selene, Your Excellency Duke of Habsburg, may I ask you?" Is this the case with the letter of leave submitted yesterday?"

"You are the only great general in the empire, don't you want to give up your burden?"

"Isn't there still you? And it's useless to object, the memorial has already been submitted to the emperor, and the approval is probably on the way (Ornest read it, can you not approve it?")

With her back close to the soft sofa, Selene said lazily: "Unlike you, the family's fief is near the imperial capital. I haven't been to my own fief for so many years. I will leave in about a week. I want to Rest."

"Hmph, it's okay..." Bude suddenly said in a declarative tone, with a strange smile on his face, "But... this week, I have a task for you."

"Stop stop..."

Without giving Selene a chance to refuse at all, Bude spoke out the content of the mission on his own.

"Recently, there will be the bi-annual report meeting of the Empire's local garrison. I used to host it. This time... I will leave it to you. It just so happens that you are going to go on vacation in one week. That's okay, the meeting time It's also a week, and you will preside over the debriefing meeting, and then you will go back to the fief for vacation."

"Uh...there are those people?"

"You'll know when you go to chair the meeting."

......

At the same time, Nanhu Avenue in the imperial capital.

Tick, tick, tick, tick...

Passers-by heard the sound of horseshoes suddenly coming from the end of the avenue, looked up, and saw a group of imperial soldiers in armor running from a distance on tall horses.

"Is it the Imperial Guard?"

"It's not... um? It's a female general again?" Pedestrians took a closer look and saw that the leader was a heroic female general, about 1.7 meters tall, with long white hair in a single-tailed braid, black lining, and outer drape. White general uniform.

"Uh...it's not General Selene, I don't know him at all, the small character...it should be the general of the local garrison returning to Beijing to report on his duties."

"Hey, what is a small role, please explain to me clearly..." Hearing the conversation of pedestrians, among the soldiers beside the white-haired female general, a soldier with short green hair was about to ask her for a reason.

"Okay, Lubbock, what they're telling is the truth. This is the imperial capital, not the province of France. We're just nobody here." The white-haired female general stopped.

"As ordered..."

Chapter 160 Najie Xitan, the First General

"Obey, General Najahitan!"

In the end, the personal soldier named Lubbock retreated behind the female general named Najahitan.

Najie Xitan reined in her horse and looked into the distance, and the majestic and majestic outer city wall of the imperial capital was close in front of her eyes, "The imperial capital has really changed a lot... There was no such artificial lake here before. I heard that it was blown out by the general." ...really terrifying strength..."

Sighing lightly, Najie Xitan shook her head, thinking so much, let's report to the city, "Let's go, Lubbock, let's go into the city!"

After entering the luxury hospitality station dedicated to the imperial capital, after submitting the report, since the time for the debriefing meeting had not yet arrived, Najie Xitan and his party were able to enjoy the bustling downtown scene of the imperial capital.

The imperial capital is not comparable to those towns on the border, and those soldiers who followed Najie Xitan back to Beijing to report on their duties can be considered to have experienced the prosperity that they have never experienced in the past half their lives.

But... Najie Xitan's focus is not only on the prosperity. From the residents of the imperial capital, she does not see a trace of living and working in peace, but only a sense of urgency for survival. Masks, everyone is a hypocritical smirk.

This made Najie Xitan a little uncomfortable. In the province of France and Franks where she works, even if the production level and quality of life of the people are not as good as the residents of the imperial capital, at least they are not walking dead...

"The imperial capital... no, what happened to the empire?"

Najiexitan will not be given too much time to think, and the time for leisurely thinking will always pass quickly. With the start of the biennial local defense debriefing meeting, it means that they will not be far away from the imperial capital.

...

Imperial Capital, Miyagi, Imperial Guard Headquarters, Parliament Hall.

Unlike the extravagant and flamboyant office halls, which are more decorated with glass and gold, the architectural style of the entire conference hall is more calm and solemn, and it is a symbol of the authority of the empire.

When standing in front of its gate, there is a sense of oppression, which makes people restrain the frivolous expression on their faces and show awe.

Stepping into the main hall door of the conference hall, you will be greeted by a huge and magnificent deep hall, on which are engraved with reliefs and oil paintings of various historical epics of the empire for thousands of years, among which the great emperors and generals of all dynasties are listed.

According to legend, the first emperor of the empire supervised the construction of this parliament hall, and the idea of ​​carving the legendary epic of the empire was also proposed by the first emperor.

When she first learned about it, Selene couldn't help sighing that the First Emperor really deserved to be the Son of Destiny, and this method of promoting the cohesion of the nation was thought of thousands of years ago.

There is no hero, epic, or story that is more exciting than the propaganda that ancestors sacrificed their lives to gain living space for future generations.

And when historical epics, national heroes and ancestors are combined, this is always the best way to unite a nation and unite the centripetal force of a country.

Countless legendary stories have been told throughout the ages. It is they who unite all nations and form the history of mankind.

......

Since the generals participating in the meeting were only allowed to bring one person into the headquarters of the Imperial Guard at most, except for Lubbock who followed to the headquarters, the other soldiers of Najehitan stayed in the hospitality post.

Passing through the majestic and majestic hall, under the watchful eyes of layers of imperial guards, Najehitan stepped into the highest power center of the imperial military for the first time.

At this time, in this magnificent parliament hall, Najie Xitan found that the entire parliament hall was divided into four factions, and the atmosphere was not as harmonious and warm as imagined.

To put it simply, they are local officials and Beijing officials, those belonging to the Hornest faction and those who are not.

Except for the civil servants and military supervisors, most of the participants were military men of five or three thick. ....

Without exception, this group of people has the only common characteristic, that is, they are full of murderous looks. They are all generals who have been on the battlefield and made great achievements.

The ages of the generals participating in the meeting also fluctuated greatly. Among them, the oldest general has gray hair on his temples, while the younger ones seem to be only in their early 20s.

And when the white-haired beauty, Najie Xitan, stepped into the parliament hall, she was a beautiful sight, which immediately attracted the attention of her seniors.

"White hair? It's the same as the general. This is the third female general."

"I don't know if Estes will participate... By the way, where is she doing now?"

"Okay, let's close this topic."

Ignoring the comments on herself, Najie Xitan smiled and nodded to the seniors. According to the uniform style, she carefully entered the department of the local garrison to which she belonged, and waited silently.

Unlike the silent and dissatisfied members of the local faction, all the regiment commanders of the Imperial Guards have arrived, and they are talking about what happened in the imperial capital recently, as if they don't care about Ornest's revenge at all.

"Have you heard that General Liwa of the Western Garrison has been imprisoned?"

"Well... I heard that he was arrested because he was framed for refusing to bribe a relative of Minister Ornest."

"Huh, it's ridiculous. An imperial general who has worked hard in the local area for many years was sent to prison just because he didn't bribe the prison army sent by Ornest during the foreign war!"

"He was imprisoned for such illusory crimes as embezzling military expenses and delaying the warplane. Hehe... The one who delayed the warplane was the supervising army... As for embezzling military expenses, wasn't it Ernest himself?"

Under the watchful eyes of Najie Xitan, a big yellow-faced man wearing the iron-grey general uniform of the Imperial Guard is mocking the minister Ernest recklessly. Looking at the serial number, he should be from the Eighth Army of the Imperial Guard. Legion Commander.

"Of course you are not afraid, Jinsa. You are guarded by General Selene. I heard that you beat Minister Ernest's nephew to death in the upper city four years ago... You see, Ernest even farts." I didn't dare to let go, and even severed ties with this relative, and ran away in despair..."

"...Ahahaha." Beside him, a legion commander who also belonged to the Imperial Guard jokingly said.

"Hey, Jinsa... this Liwa is considered a talent, do you want to write a letter to the general and get some people?" Another legion leader suggested.

"Forget it, 'Warriors should not interfere with politics' is an admonition, haven't you heard? Besides, I don't think the general will not receive the news. Why should we panic? The general is in charge of everything, and we will follow suit."

Leaning on the armchair, Jin Sa shook her head and continued: "The most important thing is that after this week, the general will go back to the fief for a vacation for a period of time, so don't cause trouble for the general."

"Haha...also..."

...

"You...you..." The supervising army on the side of Ernest and the civil servants he sent to observe, when they heard these rebellious words, their faces were very ugly, and they wanted to stop them sharply.

Because not long ago, didn't they just clean up that unworthy general named Liwa and put him in jail on trumped-up charges?

And these Qiu Ba are chewing their ears in front of them, aren't they mocking and scolding them?We must give this group of vulgar Qiu Ba a blow.

Look at us...see if we're not going to die...uh...seems like we can't...

In the end... these civil servants and supervisors were still discouraged. They still wanted to live for a few more years. The Janitors, backed by two imperial generals, were their immediate bosses, and Minister Ernest had to avoid them.

Then he glared angrily at the local generals beside him, and they wanted to see, you people who have no backing, who else would dare to jump out? !

Can't clean up the imperial guards, and you can't clean up the garrison? !

Listening to the discussion in her ears, Najie Xitan couldn't help being a little disappointed. General Liwa was imprisoned by the minister. It was such a ridiculous reason!

It has to be said that it is quite sad, and it also makes Najiexi feel sad that the relatives of Minister Ernest have come to such a miserable end just by not bribing them.

Najie Xitan's wish since she was a child was to become a general who defends the country and seek a stable living environment for the common people. As a senior, Liwa naturally became her goal when she was young.

Not only heard, but she was lucky enough to meet General Liwa once. When she first joined the army, she also belonged to the imperial garrison guarding the west.

At that time, Liwa was full of heroism. Although he was not young, he still looked very energetic. The whole person was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, showing its sharpness, and it was the pillar of the empire's western border defense line.

I thought that there would be a chance to be ministers of the same dynasty, but now such a thing will happen...

Is such an empire really necessary for loyalty?

Inevitably, such a thought popped up in Najie Xitan's heart, and it could never be erased.

"Hello, General Najehitan, let me meet you. My name is Marcus. I'm the general of the Eastern Defense Army of the Empire. I'm your senior."

A bald-headed middle-aged man in a gray general uniform with a medal on his chest that symbolizes his half-life glory said kindly to Najie Xitan.
