Chapter Eighty-Three: The Prelude to the Great War
The news soon reached the province of Irulsun.
Despite his mental preparations, Jean-Sauron was still struck down by this bad news, since the root of the disease had been cleared since a pneumonia that almost cost him his life after the hardships of the enemy in the north, and he would fall ill in the winter for several years.
The crown prince had been in a semi-conscious and comatose state, and his men were always worried about the occasional mumbled speech.
But the end of Carlos II seems to have given Jean's men more reason to think about the future. They plotted to install Jean-Sauron as the fourth emperor of the empire.
At this time, Jean's command was full of talent, with Schmidt, Hermann, and later Blair Christian, George Darnell, and Jeff Gregory being senior officers in the Loyalist Army, all of whom had the ability and experience to command large armies, and civilian officials such as Joseph Frank and former Chancellor of the Exchequer York Neval.
By heart, these people are elites, and the situation makes them extremely united, which is the main reason why Jean has established himself in Irulsun Province and controls the other two neighboring provinces.
Jean is like a banner, and his natural background has earned him the support of all those who adhere to the traditional ruling order. A large number of nobles fled to the province of Iruersund, bringing with them huge sums of money to provide a steady supply of resources for Jean's army.
Due to its proximity to Gyeonggi and the development of water transportation, it can directly connect to the holy city and even go down the river to the east to the sea, so Irulsund Province is a province with a considerable industrial base. During these years, Jean withstood military pressure while developing the economy, and the fugitive aristocracy even brought in many new machines and technical talents, including a replica of the rifle produced by the Genoese Poittu chemical company.
His own resolute and impartial methods also won over many people, and in the minds of the Royalist soldiers, Jean was a patriarch who was universally embraced.
This made many sigh that it would have been nice if Carlos II had abdicated earlier, and maybe all this terrible thing would not have happened. However, this is not possible.
Now, Schmidt, Hermann, and Frank are among the others who want to proclaim Jean emperor. In this regard, Jean, who is still ill, accepts that nothing is more important than a justified name.
On 1 January 1840, Jean Sauron was crowned emperor in the province of Irulsund.
Jean sealed dozens of new titles in one go to win people's hearts, and even Sean was canonized as a duke by him.
However, this duke is a irony in the eyes of southerners, because the Civic Party officially came to power and seized the ruling power of the eighteen provinces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and the first decree was to abolish the imperial system and the title of nobility.
To the surprise of many observers, as the chairman of the Civic Party and the supreme commander of the army, and the unchallenged first person in politics, business, and even academics, Sean did not hold any position in the government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Adrian Major, whom he trusted, became the vice president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Sean's spokesman in the government.
Still in the midst of the Spring Festival atmosphere, Kim Carreyll was in a hurry, carrying several books under his arm, which he had bought from the town's bookstore.
He could have gone back earlier, but he didn't expect to linger in the bookstore, and only then did he realize that it was already dark after being kindly reminded by the store.
The streets are full of brilliance, as the new electric street lights have been put into commercial operation after nearly a decade of improvement.
This is thanks to the genius discovery of Professor Lavadi of the University of Poitou and others, and it is also inseparable from the huge amount of money invested by the power company invested by Sean.
The advent of electric light once caused a sensation. It represents light and progress, and because of its appearance, the nightlife of the Poitu people began to be colorful and truly bright.
The only thing that is to be criticized is that workers are complaining that night work is becoming more and more common. In addition, just as railways often killed people when they first started, the spread of electricity and the lack of knowledge about electricity have led to many tragedies.
Seeing the location of the rose garden, Kerryll's heart softened.
From the outside, he is already a young man, because of enough nutrition, adequate exercise and a comfortable life over the years, his size has soared, and he is no longer the orphan who made Sean once worry that he would die.
Sean was also in the rose garden, and the smell of tobacco from the guests was still in the living room, and Sean was reading the newspaper at this time, and he gave himself a holiday during the Spring Festival.
In fact, he is the woman who misses himself.
However, he is no longer the free-spirited country nobleman, and he has to meet several guests every day for a good Spring Festival, which is far from his original expectations.
The personal struggle is to get rid of mediocrity, to obtain the so-called freedom, financial freedom, personal freedom.
But when you're no longer mediocre, the freedom you get isn't like that at all.
Hearing the sound of Kerryll's footsteps, Sean looked up and smiled and asked, "Kim, I thought you weren't going to come back." ”
"How so, sir, I was reading in the bookstore and lost track of time. Carrill explained.
"Kim, you're going to college with Carl this fall, what are you going to study?"
Sean is rarely concerned, because Carryll has been Carl Robinson's student companion all these years, and his diet, daily life and education have always been in charge of Audrey, and he lives in Fort Ron most of the time, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
"Lady Audrey thought I should study political science. Carrell replied.
Audrey, of course, hopes that "her own people" like Carl Robinson or Jim Carreyll will become Sean's most reliable help in the future, just like many of the orphans Shaun adopted back then, many of whom have grown up and made their mark in Sean's military and business empire.
Sean didn't want to accuse Audrey of being utilitarian, because it's human nature.
"What do you have in mind?" said Sean, "Kim, you know, no one can force you!"
"Actually, I'm more interested in political science. To be precise, I love Mr. Major's latest book, and I am fascinated by his Speculations on Political Economy. "I heard that this book actually represents your thoughts?"
It was a 100-page booklet, not a tome, but a question-and-answer format, which was actually a summary of the many issues that Major and Sean usually discussed, concise, easy to understand, and without flowery vocabulary and obscure theories.
However, the result was that the book was highly sought after in scholarly circles.
For a time, Poitou appeared in a large number of follow-up works, and even the style of writing was tried to imitate.
Mr. Palmer, who fled from the Holy City to Poitou and was recommended by Sean to be the president of Poitou University, spoke highly of the book, believing it to be a classic that showed the world the right way forward.
"Haha. Xiao Si laughed.
He was going to be Carryll's parent and talk to Audrey about education. It seems that he can only compete with Audrey in bed.
