"Flender, go see grandma next week, are you happy?"

Gao Jingxuan's inquiry was exchanged for a baby's smirk, and Joseph was a little speechless, why couldn't she be as normal as Kate? A little guy who is just three months old knows what grandma is, and he is still not happy......

"Next week is a little tight, let's go a while!"

Joseph's words made Gao Jingxuan's hand shake, and she looked at Joseph in disbelief, to which Joseph shrugged: "At this time, I can't keep hiding!" ”

If there is no Flender, then it doesn't matter if you go or not, but with him, if you don't go with him, how can Gao Jingxuan explain the child's father? There were some things that Joseph should have taken on as a matter of course, and that was his unshirkable responsibility.

"You, you don't mean that the Soviet side ......"

"Everything that can be done now has been done, no matter what changes in the USSR have on the Nord principality, the impact on the Nord principality is minimal, half of the Black Sea Fleet ...... If you want to take advantage of it again, it will be your turn to become a public enemy of the world. ”

Although most of the 300 warships were small ships such as transport ships and landing ships, that was also a huge number of 300, and it was the most fortunate thing that the Soviet Union did not directly turn against the Nord principality.

Eighteen-year-old Joseph looked at first glance, although his face was tenderer, but there was no big age gap between him and Gao Jingxuan, and he said that there was no problem with sister and brother and husband and wife.

It's still a coastal villa, it's still a beautiful Gao Jingxuan, the only difference is that a small life has been added to the villa, two female guards who are close to the villa and a cook in charge of catering.

Gao Jingxuan has not worked for a while, and the posts of deputy director and host of the television station have been resigned, and now Gao Jingxuan's job position should be -- director of the Nord Media Group, director of the Nord Royal Petroleum Group, shareholder of Huaxia Telecom, shareholder of Huanuo Audi Company, shareholder of Huanuo Iron and Steel Company, shareholder of Huaxia Petroleum, shareholder of Huaxia Petrochemical Group, and shareholder of Huaxia Construction Bank.

Yes, Joseph has transferred all the shares of the Chinese state-owned enterprises held by Nord to Gao Jingxuan, but now most of these enterprises have not yet begun to show their hideousness, and the combined value of these shares is only more than one billion euros, far less than one-fifth of the 20 percent Nord Royal Petroleum shares in Gao Jingxuan's hands.

Nord Royal Media Group? This director is just a name, and in fact, Gao Jingxuan does not have many shares. The only 10 percent in Joseph's hands is only a few hundred million euros.

Given Li Xiaohan, Gao Jingxuan and the children in their wombs, Joseph doesn't have much left in his hands, but even so, he can still be ranked as the richest man in the world, one of the reasons is the royal tax.

The Nord population officially exceeded 3 million in January 1990, but by this time the rate of growth had slowed, and most of them were laborers who had not obtained Nord citizenship and had defected from African countries.

How much of the royal tax revenue does the population base of three million bring to Joseph? 200 million euros, but this is a net gain, one that will only grow over time and not decrease.

For the royal family of a country, its annual expenses are very huge, holding royal banquets, traveling, and servants. These are an average of 20,000 euros a day, and seven or eight million euros a year are consumed.

Almost all of Joseph's Nord shares were given to Kate, Gao Jingxuan, Li Xiaohan and their children, leaving only 60% of Nord Royal Oil's shares and royal taxes. But...... With an annual dividend of 5 billion euros from NORD Royal Petroleum alone, plus a few scattered earnings, Joseph's annual net income of 6 billion euros is by no means a problem.

The main reason is that most of the shares are temporarily leased to the government for the development of the Nord principality, and if it were not for the fact that only 30 percent of the shares of the enterprises would have made Joseph's private income of 10 billion euros. Of course, no royal family with a long-term vision would do that. Because this is not conducive to the development of the Duchy of Nord, the treasury is no different from Joseph's private treasury anyway, but the left hand in and the right hand out.

Accompany Gao Jingxuan and Flender for a while, and take a look at the time of the cabinet meeting. Joseph put on a black woolen coat under the service of Gao Jingxuan's female guard, kissed goodbye to Gao Jingxuan and Flender, and left the coastal villa area.

"Your Majesty, the Cabinet and the Ministry of Defense want to see you."

"I know, it's the Caribbean, right?"

Director William did not answer. But his silence already means that Joseph was right.

"It's a bit reckless! What does Admiralty mean in Western Sahara? ”

"The fighters are excited."

"Alright! Calling back to the Ministry of Defense, I agree with their battle plan. ”

……

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty has instructed us to do it."

The words of the officer of the guard made the commander of the navy of Western Sahara very excited. It's finally time for a thousand days to take effect.

"Inform the First Fleet and let them go to the Caribbean, and at the same time inform the Marine Corps...... I don't care what kind of hostages, what I want is the total annihilation of the enemy, I don't need to repeat it! ”

"No hostages, just annihilation, Your Excellency, Commander."

"Go ahead!"

With the issuance of the operational order, it was only in an instant that the relevant operations were transmitted to the Ministry of Defense, and the order of the Commander of the Navy was seen by the Minister of Defense Bach. Heisenberg's eyes widened.

"Shit, what is he trying to do?"

"Do you want to ...... then?"

"Hand it to Prime Minister Smith! This thing...... We are not fit to meddle. ”

Bach. Heisenberg understood why the commander of the navy of Western Sahara did this, he was expressing his displeasure, the navy was the navy of the royal family and not the navy of the cabinet, and Smith was wrong that orders should not have been issued to them without Joseph's authorization, and this was the real reason for ignoring the life and death of the hostages.

Although Bach. Heisenberg was Minister of Defense and even before he was the head of the Royal Praetorian Guard, but ...... Now that he is one of the cabinet members, he also has his own position, and this is what makes him embarrassed.

NORD Cabinet Room

"The order has been conveyed and the First Fleet of the Royal Sahara Navy has departed, but ......"

"Say!"

Seeing James' hesitant look, Smith felt a hint of something bad in his heart.

"But the order of the naval commander is to ignore the life and death of the hostages, and only demand that the other side ...... the whole army"

Touch!

"How dare he do that?"

"He's crazy?"

“**！”

Several cabinet members in the conference room cursed the commander of the Navy angrily, but Smith did not say a word. Half-night......

"Ask him what he asks to do."

That's right, it's an inquiry, because the Cabinet has no right to question military generals, not even the Ministry of Defense, but Joseph, the Grand Duke of Nord, is qualified.

The inquiry went quickly, and the reply was fast, but it was better not to say a word from the commander of the Navy.

"The Royal Nord Navy is the navy of His Majesty the Grand Duke, and the safety of the hostages is the responsibility of the government, although they are all Nord citizens, I cannot exchange the lives of the soldiers for the lives of other citizens."

The meaning of this sentence is very simple, Nord's army is not the people's soldiers of the East, and it is not the guardian of freedom and human rights like other countries in Europe and the United States. The need to protect the tax collectors, Nord's army is simple, they are only responsible to Joseph or Archduke Nord, and their existence is to ensure the stability of the position of Archduke Nord of the royal family of Ragnar.

Taxpayer? Their safety should be the responsibility of the government or the Grand Duke, unless the Grand Duke of Nord orders them to ensure the safety of the hostages, they are equal, and there is no reason to exchange the lives of soldiers for the lives of other citizens in equal cases.

The taxpayers' money was in the hands of the Grand Duke and the government, and although the soldiers also took the money, they took it from Joseph. As for how the money came from, it has nothing to do with them.

This is the basic interest relationship between the Nord military and the citizens, the government, and the royal family, and I need to be responsible to the Grand Duke, but not necessarily to protect the Grand Duke's subjects.

The cabinet bigwigs looked at each other in embarrassment. There was no choice but to wait for Joseph's arrival.

Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, at this time Joseph pushed the door in, and when he saw his arrival, Smith and the other officials hurriedly got up. Then he sat down at the signal of Joseph's hand.

"Your Majesty......"

"Can anyone tell me why there was a plan to attack pirates in the Caribbean?"

The cabinet members who asked this question were stunned, and the new Home Secretary Morris boldly said: "We have a merchant ship in the Caribbean that has been ......."

"Nord merchant ships?"

The inquiry stunned the cabinet officials again. There was that quick moment to understand something, and his face was a little pale, because he understood what a stupid thing his group had done.

"Yes, it's a Nord merchant ship."

"But the news I got is not, they are indeed Nord citizens, and the transport company is indeed the transport company of the Nord Principality, but you tell me, what is it transporting on it?"

silent

Pulling out a cigar, Joseph put it in his mouth, leaned lightly on the sofa, and said with half-squinted eyes: "Then I'll say, it's smuggled goods, smuggled goods from South America, do you remember what I said back then?" ”

"Nord is the private territory of the Ragnar family, where the only difference between citizens and non-citizens is how much they pay taxes, and these evasive ...... Smith, you're telling me what to do? ”

"Death penalty!"

"Yes, that's right, this land is the land of the Ragnar family, and anyone who attempts to encroach on the interests of the Ragnar family should be expelled, and if it is my subject, then offending the monarch can only be exempted from the death penalty."

After saying this, Joseph felt that it was not interesting to continue the meeting, and stood up to leave, but at this moment he paused and passed a sentence:

"Please remember that this is the Duchy of Nord, the private domain of the Ragnar family. Also, compensation, and so on...... Take it back! In addition, all their immediate family members were deported, and today's benefits are given by me, so I also have the right to take them back, and I must remember this. (To be continued......)
