"I'm not going to give Robert another silver coin, and I'm not going to give him another packet of gunpowder!!!!

David Bernand crossed his hands in front of him, his body arched slightly, and from the analysis of his body movements, he not only expressed his tough attitude, but also showed respect for the royal family.

"Without your support, our southern five cities will not be able to resist pressure from either Rand or Lendinium. Count Cacho, the representative of the capitulation faction, even declared that he would surrender to either side of the Chen Bing border to avoid war, and now it was up to him to see which side acted faster. If you don't want to see Stuart's territory increase by a third, please help us. It's useless to just be famous and electrified, and our five southern cities need real support, real money. ”

David humbly betrayed the misery, and tears flowed unconsciously.

"Your Royal Highness, do you know how much sacrifice the inhabitants of the southern southern region have made for the sake of returning, and many of them have not hesitated to abandon the high-ranking officials of the Rand, not to mention the properties and houses left in the north. In the case of Mr. Robert, his shares in the railway and telegraph company north of Castile had been confiscated by the Grand Duke, and at least one million silver coins had been lost.

Was it wrong for the people of South Castile to refuse to participate in the unjust wars between the principalities? The empire should have been one, and should not have allowed the great nobles to divide the country and continue to fight among themselves.

The war initiated by the Grand Duke of Castile allowed the Bright Dogs to take the opportunity to occupy the central part of the New World, knowing that they were part of the empire's territory regardless of which principality's colony it was.

The secession of our five southern cities from Castile is a protest against the backward system of feudalism! We hope that there will be no more unnecessary internal friction within the empire.

Our soldiers are not able to gather 20,000 troops, lack powerful weapons and equipment, and even do not have enough supplies for the troops, and we still need donations from the people.

Because we firmly believe that only under the unified leadership of the royal family can the empire concentrate its efforts on great things, without internal friction and external humiliation.

Didn't His Majesty the Emperor praise the choice of the people of South Castile to return to the direct control of the royal family a few days ago? Now that we, the people of South Castia, are threatened and need to take up arms to protect our homeland, is this time for the royal family to stand on the sidelines?

Please take concrete actions to support us!

If South Castile loses and surrenders, will the people of the rest of the world still be able to trust the royal family, and will the royal family be able to protect the empire?"

David's tearful words plunged into François's heart like a knife, draining his strength little by little, and finally the second prince sat back in a soft chair.

"I have already transferred a large amount of weapons and equipment last month, and you want funds, and I have also transferred them to Ralph, so I will spend them so quickly? What about your South Carolina Volunteer Army? Do you have to let me transfer the army from Gyeonggi to assist Robert in defending the border? My father has already ordered the Sixth Army to support South Carolina!"

David wiped his face with his sleeve, and the four copper buckles on the cuffs slashed his face, "The funds and weapons have been supplied to the South Carolina Volunteers, otherwise how would the more than 10,000 South Carolina Volunteers come from?" We know that Governor Ralph is not easy, and each family has donated a lot of funds and materials, but at present, the number of our troops is still too small, and they are all newcomers who have never been on the battlefield, and they have not even mastered the synergy source energy skills.

The Sixth Legion did not follow the Emperor's orders to garrison the border of South Castia, but declared neutrality and hid back in Legionville, perhaps the legionnaires were still willing to follow the Emperor's orders, but we believe that the senior officers of the Sixth Legion are on the side of the Rand, as long as Rand sends troops south, they will lead the legion to turn the gun against the newly formed South Carolina government. ”

"I know the situation, today I will enter the palace to report the situation in South Carolina to my father. You go to the inn and wait for news. "Book every day

Sending away David, who had a handful of snot and tears, François hurriedly called Odom to inquire about the latest situation of the Investigation Bureau's investigation in South Castia.

Although David said that the situation was very miserable, how could the shrewd second prince listen to and believe it.

At the beginning, Robert suddenly proposed to let the five cities of South Castile break away from the Duchy of Castile and accept the direct control of the empire, François felt that it was pie in the sky, and he was hit on the head by good things out of thin air, but he didn't expect a lot of troubles to follow.

Although Ralph, the governor of South Carolina sent by the emperor, was regarded as a savior by the southern nobles and a hero by the people, he was greeted with flowers everywhere he went.

However, the reality is that the governor of South Carolina has to do everything with the help of Robert and the landlords.

Since it was impossible to send troops directly to South Carolina, South Carolina Governor Ralph went to take office with a large amount of weapons and equipment. The Emperor knew that the local city guards could not be relied upon, they were in cahoots with the local nobles, and the legions could not be counted on for the time being, only to establish a new army to ensure the rule of the royal family in South Castia, otherwise, South Castile would be just a small duchy that did not listen to the tune.

After arriving in Casares, Ralph, the governor of South Carolina, was unable to get the support of the Sixth Army, so he had to rely on the strength of Robert and other local nobles to establish a new military force to encircle the South Castile region, which was what David called the "South Castile Volunteer Army".

The "Volunteer Army" was being formed very quickly, and the funds brought by the Governor were also being consumed at a rapid pace.

At the same time, Governor Ralph was also in the process of forming a government in South Castile to enforce royal rule over the five southern cities. The core structure of the new government was the cronies brought in by the governor, but it had to use a large number of the original South Castians.

Ralph was very cautious in employing people, only selecting talents from the original middle and low-level officials, and for the former officials of the five southern cities, all those who supported the direct management of the royal family were thrown into the "South Castilian Council" as members, of course, the nobles of the five southern cities also had seats on the council.

It's just that the new parliament has no name, but it can't check and balance the governor, and it's a good thing.

Ralph's set of operations seems to have put the power of South Castile into the hands of the royal family, so that the emperor is very satisfied with him, and intends to build South Castile well, as a sample to buy horse bones, hoping that there will be "people of insight" in other regions who can follow suit, break away from the Grand Duchy, and return to the arms of the royal family.

But not long ago, the Bureau of Investigation's intelligence officers reported that the South Carolina Governor's Mansion was actually under the control of Robert and other local aristocrats. He cites the example of the generals in the "Volunteer Army", who seem to be newly recruited transcendents, but most of them have a close relationship with the South Castilian aristocracy led by Robert.

This is true for new armies, not to mention the use of a large number of government agencies.

It's just that at present, the interests of the southern nobles led by Robert and the governor represented by the royal family are the same, and the purpose is the same, and everyone is still a good partner in cooperation, so there is no problem yet.

But the possibility of the Governor being overridden still exists, and what if a conflict of interest arises between the Governor and the old powers?

François, the second prince who received the report, temporarily stopped his support for the South Carolina region and wanted to see how Robert would respond, which led to the cry of David today, and the threat of surrendering Stuart was also a threat.
