"One more thing, Simon. Murphy tapped his finger on the table, "I got word on the letter that the nobles' procession will arrive at us within a week, what do you think we should do?"

"When we were fighting, they dragged on one by one, and our side won the battle, but they came here to share the benefits? What a bunch of hyenas!" Simon raised his eyebrows, and threw the pen in his hand directly.

"Your Highness, I personally feel that we should delay this group of nobles to ensure our interests. ”

"Oh, why do you say that?" said Murphy, leaning forward, making a gesture of listening, indicating that he was interested.

"You grew up in the royal palace, naturally you don't know the ugly appearance of the nobles in private, in order to satisfy your own interests, some of the more extreme nobles don't even pay attention to royal power and divine power!" Simon pouted, his face disdainful.

"I can guess what they will do here, go around chasing and killing the rebels' deserters, claiming to have participated in the holy war of encircling the traitors and besieging the kingdom, and then take advantage of this to join the division of interests after the war, most of the cities that were originally captured by the rebels will fall into their hands, and even more shamelessly, they may even ask us for military funds, or use the noble alliance to oppress us to spit out the interests that should belong to us!

"Don't question the lower limit of the nobles, they can do anything! That's the population and wealth of an entire county! It's enough to make those nobles completely crazy, even completely ignoring the shackles of royal power, and risking being eaten by the contract, but also bite off a big piece of meat in Kannascounty! There are four marquis in Kannas, and after such a battle, two were killed, one surrendered, Running away from one, the entire Canas County is equivalent to no one, the Duke of Canas has been indirectly equivalent to being elevated, and there is no one available under him, as long as these guys own the land of a state, the Duke of Canas can only pinch his nose and admit it.

"So to sum up, I think we must safeguard our interests in this negotiation, and if it doesn't work, we will use our truth and 'justice'!"

The knights from the military camp and the hereditary nobles have always been at odds with each other, the former feeling that the latter is a vegetarian and full of brains, and the latter finding the former impolite and vulgar.

Simon was born in the civilian population and grew up in the army, a typical representative of the knights of the barracks, and his prejudice against the aristocracy is quite large, and it is not excluded at all that he wears a certain degree of colored glasses in this passage.

But some points are also very right, the ambitions of the nobles are unlimited, in the face of such huge interests, the evil thoughts in their hearts will never allow them to stay out of the matter, Remlos Fort must be vigilant against this, and resolutely protect their own interests.

"You think the same thing as I do, and I think so too. Murphy stood up and stretched, looking official.

"Oh, what does Your Highness think? Simon didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, who was only nineteen years old and whose scope of action was compressed in the royal capital, would have an understanding of the Zhengzhi struggle?

We have to admit that His Royal Highness Murphy has done a really good job in handling government affairs and managing municipal administration, but the struggle for political governance is different, and this is a dirty science.

His Highness rarely faces a sinister human heart, and the brothers who came out of the knights are all good men who are absolutely loyal to His Highness, blocking malice from all directions for His Highness.

So Simon still doesn't believe in the possibility of His Royal Highness's political skills, but the eldest prince and the second prince have this ability, but the latter two should forget it.

Murphy naturally saw the surprise and distrust on Simon's face, nothing, and no displeasure, he understood Simon's thoughts, and he could understand it by empathy.

After all, Murphy was a liberal arts student in his previous life, from the student union of a high-level university to later joining the party, he has always been in contact with partisan disputes, and he is no stranger to the struggle for justice, and even feels cordial, which reminds him of the parliaments and parliaments of Western countries in his previous life.

"In this way, Simon, we will start from the three aspects of military, politics and economy, and later you will send someone to Crescent City, and control that city in our hands, and controlling Crescent City is equivalent to controlling Heinz County in the south and Syvera County in the southwest, so that the entire Vicondisai State will be under our control, and with the political power in our hands at present, we can only swallow such a place at most.

"And the army deployed in these places is our greatest reliance, and we also have to rely on them to give the nobles a dismount! The number of troops must be sufficient, and it is enough to give you the command of two battalions of artillery battalions, right?"

"Enough. ”

"Don't take down the corpses on both sides of the road for the time being, there is still the value of use, put on the military uniforms of the rebels and rely on these corpses to deter them, and when the nobles arrive at the city of Crescent City, fire guns and cannons to welcome, of course, the cannonballs should be made with special empty cartridges, after all, it is not a declaration of war, you don't need to go directly to the live ammunition, of course, the live ammunition must also be prepared, maybe what will happen, the cannon is our biggest reliance.

"Of course, the main way to contact the nobles is negotiation, everything is to be carried out around the negotiating table, war as a means, can only be used as a last resort, and we only need to protect our core interests, that is, this part of the Canton of Vicondise, the millions of civilians in the civilian settlement, and all the captured booty, although the remaining interests are very large, but we can't eat it for the time being, and it is not too late to deal with them after we have fully digested the results of this battle.

"Furthermore, if we have to eat all the results, we won't do anything first, those nobles will definitely twist into a rope to deal with us, and after throwing it out, then the big interests will definitely make all the nobles red, and make a big hole in their unstable trust, maybe after the negotiation, they may even break out a territorial war, but it is unlikely, after all, now that the royal capital has announced a war with Thebes, no one dares to cause trouble at this juncture.

"But what I'm sure of is that they will inevitably disagree with each other internally, and the so-called alliance will naturally break itself in the face of interests and distrust!"

Murphy's words made Simon stupid, and he stood in place in a daze.

Dealt with all the things that I thought of and didn't expect, the things that I couldn't choose, and the things that couldn't be weighed, and put the existing chips on the table, which not only showed off my muscles but also gave the nobles sweetness, and also divided them by the way, I was worried that His Highness would not be able to choose the huge interests, and I wanted to give him a preventive shot, but I didn't expect His Highness to be much more sober and calm than himself.

"Your Highness, I'm served! I'm going to do something!" Simon looked straight and planned to do what His Highness wanted.

"Wait a minute, you send someone back to the city first, and let the Alsace side mobilize the workers in the city, and triple the large warehouse! Hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies and millions of gold nasos are not a lot, try to solve this matter within two or three weeks. ”

"Understood!"
