Warhammer Throne

Chapter 737: , 2nd National Debt

PS: I see all the news! It ’s really a good thing. Do n’t be too happy. It ’s estimated that it will take a long time to come out. And it ’s said that the plot of the Middle Ages is a supplement to AoS, just like the Horus chaos is a supplement to 40K. Same, but I still have to say "true fragrance"!

In the imperial calendar 2512, at the end of January, the imperial capital of Braunschweig Palace, the private office of Emperor Karl Franz.

The emperor was sitting behind his desk looking at the financial statements. The weather outside was snowing heavily. The white snowflakes fell outside the palace. The earth was burning in the house. The purple gold stripes and the red carpet were on the good carpet. It is imprinted with a golden griffin pattern and a golden two-headed eagle pattern. The former is the coat of arms of the savior Ludwig, which symbolizes Karl Franz inheriting the orthodoxy and glory of the Frederick family, and the latter is Charlemagne. The coat of arms of the emperor, which symbolizes the entire empire.

The snow-capped Brunswick is still as prosperous as ever. Even in the palace, the emperor can hear the messy footsteps outside. He knows that it is the patrol sound of the Rick inner ring knight, even the most elite Rick ban Wei, and only forty knights can enter the inner ring, becoming the core personnel of the emperor's personal charge and protection of the emperor's safety.

Looking at the snow flakes outside the window, Karl Franz stretched out his hand tiredly and rubbed his eyebrows. He stretched out his hand with some annoyance and pushed away the documents in front of him, leaning on the soft backrest chair and breathing out a breath. It has been ten years since he became the emperor. In the past ten years, he has gone to the north to fight, used every brain cell in him, squeezed every gold coin in his treasury, and finally forced the whole empire to unite again. Every time he sat in the palace, the emperor always had an illusion.

He felt that he might always be the owner of Braunschweig, not the emperor of the empire.

Looking at the golden griffin pattern on the carpet, Karl Franz couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, he knew why his family and his palace were to be decorated and painted with the golden griffin pattern everywhere, because his family To desperately emphasize that they are the orthodox heirs of the savior Ludwig.

On the contrary, Boris Todd Bullinger never had to consider this question. The White Wolf City coat of arms is the White Wolf City coat of arms, because Boris Todd Bullinger ’s grandfather is the brother of the savior Ludwig. Heinz, people do n’t need to do this to prove themselves.

Maybe this is guilty conscience? The emperor thought in a random way, he reached over the cup on the table, inside it was coffee made from fine coffee beans from Lucia, the quality and taste of this coffee were better than that of Arabica , Not to mention the second-rate goods of Tyril.

General Weidenfeller did not go well in the New World. The emperor gently smelled the aroma of coffee and took another sip. The Rick Collar has sent three more legions totaling 10,000. The army of men went to the New World. According to the news from General Weidenfeller, they had successfully established a new colony on the vampire coast of Ruthia, and they swore a powerful force from the empire, those in the tropical rainforest The primitive and ignorant lizards inside were not opponents of the Empire at first, and were beaten and defeated.

In addition, it is said that the head of the Ashen Legion, Fuggen, also had some intentions to solicit the title of the Count of the Empire and from the emperor, but he obviously needs time to consider, and the emperor also understands that he is even ready. The edict and a set of Earl's dresses have been published, but only recent news shows that the Imperial Army was attacked by the Skaven Ratmen in Ruthia and a large group of vampire pirates. The situation is not optimistic, but Karl Fran It is no longer possible to send more troops here. The emperor can only ask General Weidenfeller to ask the Ashes for help. Ruthia is four or five months away by boat. The emperor was very late when he received this request for help. It is almost impossible to form an expeditionary force just for a help signal.

The only thing that can make the emperor feel at ease is to look at Ryan ’s face. The commander of the Fuggen should not ignore the fellow human beings and disregard ... The emperor often hoped that he could also have a brother as strong as the commander of the Fuggen, but he soon I realized that if I had such a brother, then the throne would certainly not be his turn.

The emperor forced himself to focus on the current things. The stretched strength has made it impossible for the emperor to organize an expeditionary force. In recent years, the beastmen in the forest of Drakovald have become more rampant and can meet Breta. Niya reached a peace agreement and the emperor vacated a lot of border troops, but the next second he almost had to send the border troops to the south and north. The forest defense line led by Midden needed to be strengthened. The blood pine forest near Braunschweig The army needs to be cleaned, and the southern Sol collar was also rebuilt under the leadership of Gert. There was chaos because of the invasion of Tamukhan and the raging of the Goblin tribe in the night. When the emperor resolved to rebuild the Sol collar The entire stream of Rick's line of wealth and troops was sent there.

The finances began to run into difficulties, and the military was slightly inadequate.

Karl Franz once asked the Countess Emmanuel for help, but was categorically refused, and the emperor even asked Emmanuel for help again as a personal friendship and as the godfather of Frederick Jr., requesting Nour to send several legions Support, and Emmanueli ’s answer is simple: "Our dear His Majesty, when we face Tamukhan ’s attack, where are you and your army? Where is your Rick guard? Nu It takes time to rebuild and repair. The army lost in the Battle of Tamu Khan needs to be replenished. Next time, Karl, next time it must be. "

The emperor knew that Emmanuel Li was lying, in fact, Nuer ’s loss was quickly replenished after the Battle of Tamukhan – everywhere are refugees willing to join the army, Nuer may indeed have suffered a heavy loss, but from the empire The endless large orders of various places, Brittania and even the Ash Legion have plunged the entire city into a frenzy of production. The impact of war has not only weakened Noor, but has become stronger. This is a natural The city born for the war is also the city of the savior Ludwig. Karl Franz knows how much the savior loves Noor. This is his hometown, even though he re-designated Braunschweig as the capital, But the savior spent most of his time in Noor from the time he was born until he disappeared after taking off the crown.

The more likely reason is that the emperor's attempt to rebuild Sol's collar angered the baroness and the Noor nobles behind her.

Karl Franz was helpless. Compared with the army of Noor, the army of Midenheim and Tarabeheim was less likely to obey the command of the emperor. According to the emperor ’s personal intelligence minister Siegfried von-Var Earl Finn reported that Noor ’s military factory recently appeared to be producing a brand new war machine, reportedly an order from King Lane.

Out of respect, Karl Franz did not send someone to spy, but asked openly and honestly, Emmanuel's answer was also very simple, Ryan needed an "enhanced version" of the maritime boat.

Well, at least I do n’t have so much money in my vault to build a land-going ship. The emperor decided to throw all his thoughts out of his mind. He noticed the rapid footsteps in the distance. It was the sound of female high heels hitting the ground. The emperor distinguished the sound of the knight's boots and high heels.

"Boom! Can I come in? Your Majesty?" An elegant female voice came from the door.

"Please come in." The emperor immediately stood up from behind his desk.

Entering the room head-on was Mrs. Hawks, whose full name was Lot-Hawkeswall, Baroness Stimwald, and the Chancellor of the Treasury. She was wearing a mink coat and silk dress. With black stockings and high-heeled ankle boots with ankles, the appearance looks more than 40 years old, the facial features are very hard, with a slender nose and narrow eyebrows, and a deep decree line, and the hair is high behind the head. Behind her, dozens of Rick Inner Cavaliers are carrying several large boxes in.

"My majesty, the good news, the money is here." Mrs. Hawkes bowed slightly: "Brittania's payment and contract payment have arrived."

"Great." Karl Franz finally breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor looked at several large boxes that were placed on the ground by Rick's guards. He opened one of the large boxes himself, and he was dressed in full clothes. Kim Krone, Huang Chengcheng's light made the emperor feel comfortable: "How many?"

"Twenty-one thousand kronor." Mrs. Hawks's expression was serious. The Chancellor of the Treasury and her husband and even her family were world-famous miser, and it was for this reason that she became the Chancellor of the Treasury. .

"Very good." Karl took out a gold coin. The Breton gold kronor was printed on one side with the poster of the founding knight Arthur, and on the other side was printed with the coat of arms of the Duke of Mousilon. The brand new coat of arms composed of sword, holy grail and Musilon iris is also the family coat of arms of Ryan.

"Ten percent new, it seems that Ryan's expedition did have a lot of gains." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, he put Kim Kronor back in the box, and then motioned his finance minister to sit down, and Mrs. Hawks sorted out After a little skirt, sitting opposite the emperor, the attendant brought the hot coffee: "He is amazing."

"No, my majesty, the person who is truly resourceful and in control of the situation is you. The contract and excellent eloquence that you signed make the knight king's frontline all our own. These golds were cast into gold coins shortly after they were started. When you come to Braunschweig, this is exactly how you have always been brilliant. ”Mrs. Hawkes said seriously.

Carl Franz just smiled and said that he has been in charge of the empire for more than ten years. His ears have been able to automatically filter these flattery words. He thought about it and said: "So, this money can let us spend our current finances. Is there a crisis? Can I hope that the new legion can be formed? Is there any demand for Galt? "

"It's enough to save some time." Mrs. Hawkes replied after a little mental calculation.

"Very good." Carl Franz finally breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor could feel the burden on his shoulders lighter. For now, the scarred empire finally has time to breathe and recover, and the destroyed wall It will be rebuilt, and the crops will be replanted. At least the next time the Chaos Tide approaches, the empire will be safe.

"I was thinking, can we also issue war bonds like Ryan?" The emperor raised a new issue: "Perhaps we need ..."

"No, we don't need it!" Mrs. Hawkswall severely rejected the emperor's whimsy: "We all agree that, Your Majesty, ordinary citizens are not ready to know the financial difficulties of the empire, when we rebuild all destroyed Something, your people must believe that this is the result of the power of our great country, and we will not succumb to any other people, whether it is the knightly brothers across the mountain, or our ancient dwarf allies, which will make us look weak , This does not conform to our basic national conditions. "

"Perhaps you are right, Ryan owns the big pie of the Eight Peaks, he and his knightly army can sweep the evil ground, and we are struggling to solve the internal security problems. I am curious that the entire Kingdom of Brittany is not Talk, how did Ryan ensure that the forests and mountains north of his territory had neither green skin nor beastman infestation? "The emperor agreed.

(Angran, who is hunting in the forest, sneezes and wraps his white bear cloak a little bit suspiciously)

"We don't understand that the opposite side of the mountain is a magical kingdom, and the Holy Grail Knights have incredible power." Mrs. Hawks nodded: "But this does not mean that Charlemagne is not as good as Ms. Lake, Your Majesty, this matter can not be Discuss, the Church of Justice has their own position, and Archbishop Vikma always has doubts about you, "

"Under Vic's crown." Karl Franz's face became slightly more subtle when he thought about it, and he seemed to recall a very uncomfortable experience.

After returning to the empire after taking part in Ryan ’s enthronement ceremony, Karl Franz sent an invitation to Archbishop Wickma according to the way Ryan said, and the Archbishop reluctantly agreed that the two sides did indeed release slightly after the wine fell down and discussed The following guidelines and plans exchanged opinions.

Until the emperor made a request for wrestling.

Vekma readily agreed that drinking wine, wrestling, and bathing are indeed one of the few entertainment programs of the Church of Justice. In just ten minutes, the emperor was directly koed ten times, fell consciously, and his nose was blue and swollen. Bathing was not achieved.

The plan to communicate well declared bankruptcy, and Karl Franz thought that Ryan ’s proposal would not be reliable.

So how did Ryan get Mogianna?

Mrs. Hawkes was always waiting seriously for the emperor ’s reaction, and Karl Franz quickly turned his attention back: “So, for the Bafengshan National Debt, how much do you know, tell me all.”

"The current news is that the first tranche of Bafengshan Treasury bonds is expected to issue 50,000 kronor, and the one-year period with an annual interest rate of 10%. At the beginning, the treasury bonds have been unsaleable, for reasons you understand." Mrs. Hawks nodded: "But After a series of victories on the front line and a large amount of seized materials were transported back to the Kingdom of Knights, the sales of government bonds showed an explosive growth. In fact, until the announcement of the suspension of the sale of government bonds, the first installment of the eight peak mountain bonds should have sold at least 80,000 kronor. "

"Is the annual interest rate 10%?" The emperor frowned. There were banks everywhere in the old world, but the old world bank savings not only had no interest, but also had to pay a savings tax of 1.5% of the savings, of which 1% To the bank, 0.5% goes to the emperor ’s vault, and if the saver asks for a letter of credit, the savings tax is three times the basis.

"Now, according to reliable information, the second installment of the Bafengshan National Debt has been prepared for sale, also for a period of one year, and the estimated sale amount is about 100,000 to 150,000 kronor, and the annual interest rate is 8%." Mrs. Hawks nodded: "Now , The national debt of Bafeng Mountain has already caused a panic buying spree, and what is interesting is that ... "

"What do you care about?" Karl Franz thought vaguely: "In short supply? Or ... a sense of participation, reselling?"

"Yes, every citizen who has bought a bond is now frantically inquiring about any news about the expeditionary army of the Bafeng Mountain. Whenever the news of the victory of the expeditionary army comes ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ people are all very happy. Mrs. Hawkes frowned: "Your Majesty, can this be regarded as a kind of infiltration that gathers people's hearts and confuses the will of the citizens of the Empire? Will it be ordered to prohibit it?"

"That's not necessary." The emperor shook his head calmly. "It's just a bond. We haven't issued it. When the savior His Majesty assembled the old world army and prepared to go north to fight against the chaotic army, they also issued war bonds. At that time, all the Empire people Also proud of buying war bonds. "

Mrs. Hawkes wanted to say something, but she saw the emperor's harsh eyes. The emperor once defeated the prince and the electors with the same expression, and united this fragmented empire in more than a decade of conflicts and wars. together.

"Yes, my majesty, everything is as you will." Mrs. Hawks chose to compromise: "My only wish is to serve you."

"You are doing very well, Baroness." The emperor gently foreheaded: "Everything that Ryan did is in accordance with the rules and legal principles. We and them are allies. We also benefit from their elimination of the green skin. The national debt of the Eight Peaks is not without interest."

"The real power is the power from the heart, not the useless praise and praise, suppressing the opposition."

"What we have to do is make the empire great again."

"For the empire!" Mrs. Hawkes said convincingly. She bowed again, and then said goodbye. The emperor watched her Chancellor of the Treasury leave. His attention soon turned to other things: "Come here, take this letter The letter was sent across the mountain to Suria the Knight Queen! "

"Yes!"
