Chapter 1 Grand Duke Nord: Ragnar III

Next Chapter

Zhang Jun was awakened by the quarrel of a group of people, and he was full of anger, he opened his eyes and was about to scold this group of people who had no public morality, but at the moment when he looked at the past, time seemed to stand still......

The completely Western-style room, the soft velvet double bed, the lavish crystal chandeliers, the marble floors, and of course, the dozen or so middle-aged blonde Europeans and Americans in black suits in the room, all of this made him very strange and at the same time a little unbelievable.

If nothing else, when he wakes up, he should be in the dormitory where the six of them live together, not such a magnificent room, not to mention anything else, even the small table lamp at hand is estimated to be equivalent to all his assets.

Anger turned into cowardice, there was no way, the absolute suppression of the economy made Zhang Jun become a bear in an instant, but this is normal, and he didn't dare to be casual anymore if he woke up.

"Your Highness, you have just been crowned, and there are still many things waiting for you to deal with, you see......"

Your Highness? Coronation? What does that mean?

looked at each other in a daze, but in an instant, Zhang Jun's brain was in a mess, this, this can't be a crossing! And the object of the crossing looks very unusual! Looking at everything in the room, as well as the handsome middle-aged blond man with a very serious face in front of him, Zhang Jun couldn't help but think in his heart.

And just when Zhang Jun didn't know how to answer, there was a sudden stinging pain in his mind, and then a large amount of information poured in, Zhang Jun's somewhat immature little face gradually became hideous, seeing this appearance, a trace of joy flashed in the eyes of the blonde middle-aged handsome guy with a straight face, of course, the joy quickly disappeared, replaced by panic, and hurriedly asked people to call a doctor.

The hideousness on Zhang Jun's face did not last long, and he had returned to normal before the doctor came, but Zhang Jun at this time was slightly different from before, and if you looked closely, you could see that the look in his eyes was very complicated.

At this time, it was already certain that he was indeed crossing over, and that the object of crossing was the ruler of a country, although it was a smaller one...... All right! It is very small, with a population of just over 2,000 and an area of only 20 square kilometers.

Europe is rich? Even if you only have one-fifth of the area of Paris, more than 2,000 people are enough to be a millionaire or even a multimillionaire? Actually, this is not the case, history is slightly different in this world, this time is 1980, but ...... World War II in Europe had just ended, and the mighty Germany had only been defeated last year.

The damage of the war is huge, in fact, before the Second World War, when the Nord principality was just established, the population of this country has exceeded 100,000, and the area is hundreds of square kilometers, but it is a pity that when the national strength is booming, the war suddenly came, and the powerful German Empire destroyed France, by the way, occupied the west coast of France, a small country with less than 3,000 soldiers.

The Grand Duke Ragnar I of the Principality of Nord had to flee with the French government, Zhang Jun should thank God and the Buddha, otherwise if he was reborn in Ragnar I, it would not be unlucky to die?

The original owner of this body was born and they were still on the run, but the fugitive Grand Duke of the Duchy of Nord at that time was not Ragnar I, but the body's father, Ragnar II, a kind and gambling playboy.

In the fifth year after the birth of the original owner of Zhang Jun's body, the German Empire collapsed with the help of the United States, and the government-in-exile of various countries once again returned to their own countries and regained control of all major powers such as finances and the military.

There was perhaps nothing more joyful for Ragnar II than to regain his country, but just as he was elated to live his royal life, all sorts of tedious things lay before him.

The Duchy of Nord was not actually damaged too much by the German soldiers, but even this was enough to embarrass Ragnar II, he was not the president of France with the support of a group of capitalists, nor was he a powerful old imperial royal family, and when he took over the country, his entire net worth was only more than 300,000 pounds.

More than 300,000 pounds was a lot at this time, but it was a drop in the bucket in a country, and the angry Ragnar II cursed the Germans who took all the taxes away every day. If it weren't for them, his life wouldn't have been so embarrassing, if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed at this time, and in short, if the Germans hadn't taken the money, he wouldn't have been in the role of a poor man who didn't even have the money to rebuild the country.

During his two years as a real ruler, the only thing Ragnar II did was to repair the palace and rebuild hospitals, primary and secondary schools, which was the main reason why the Ragnars were able to barely maintain their current position.

The little guy possessed by Zhang Jun is just eight years old this year, but at the age of eight he is already the de facto ruler of the country, His Royal Highness Joseph Ragnar III, Grand Duke of the Duchy of Nord.

After reading the memories in his mind, Zhang Jun or Ragnar III couldn't help but glance at the handsome middle-aged man with blonde hair with a serious face, the temporary prime minister of the Duchy of Nord who came from France.

For France, these small countries around them are very distressing, like a fish stuck in their throats, but the feasibility of trying to merge them into France is very low, after all, these countries are recognized by all countries and are truly sovereign countries. To this end, they came up with a compromise method, arranging for all kinds of administrative talents to come over, and find a way to empty their royal family.

This is a conspiracy, which Ragnar II couldn't see when he was in office? But he can't help it, but in a country with a population of more than 2,000, where do so many administrative talents come from, and the finances are not rich, these French prime ministers and ministers are paid by the French government, which virtually saves a lot of financial expenditure for the Nord principality.

Emptying the royal family of the Duchy of Nord is only the ultimate goal, and now many things still need to be dealt with by Ragnar III, that is, Joseph, after all, the Ragnar family still has a group of loyal people and the plan has just been implemented, without Joseph's handwriting, the French Prime Minister's order will not be able to leave the Grand Duke's Mansion at all.

Joseph's gaze was meaningful, and it was a sight that Kress had seen many times in the eyes of Ragnar II, and it contained distrust and warning. Thinking of this, Kress couldn't help but feel like laughing dumbly, how could it be, the other party was just an eight-year-old child, what does an eight-year-old child know?

"Kress, you let James in."

Hearing Joseph's words, Kress couldn't help but be stunned, see James? It took him two years to gain Joseph's favor, but now the first person he wants to see when he wakes up is James, thinking about the gaze just now, James always feels that something is wrong.

Kress stood there stunned and didn't move, but just because he didn't move didn't mean that the others didn't move either, and the janitarian who had been standing on the side of the bed in a similar German ** uniform saluted Joseph respectfully and then trotted out of the door.

Joseph ignored the guards and looked at the middle-aged men in the room, who from memory recognized the Minister of Education, Foreign Affairs, Health, Transport, and several other cabinet members of the Principality of Nord, all of whom had one characteristic, that is, they were all French officials.

Where does a country with more than 2,000 people need so many departments, and these departments are in the hands of the French, hasn't Joseph, the Grand Duke, been hollowed out? First of all, the Duchy of Nord does not need so many departments, but this is also deliberately done by the French government, in order to disperse more power to facilitate the overthrow of the Nord royal family, and what they need to pay is only the salary of a dozen people, which is nothing compared to the return.

As for the overhead, don't look at the fact that they control so many departments, but the finances are still in Joseph's hands, and the overhead is not just a few departments, it is a new era, the people's will is everything, and the main purpose of these people is to weaken the influence of the Ragnar family in Nord.

If Joseph wanted to, then he could dismiss this cabinet at any time, the law gave him that right, and in Nord he was the real and deserved master, even if he was only eight years old.

Kress did not speak, where are the ministers of the other departments qualified to speak? And they didn't know what to say, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with Joseph waking up to see James, after all, James was the butler of the Grand Duke's mansion, and his ancestors followed behind the Ragnar family.

James was in the corridor, as the most influential person in the Nord territory except for Joseph, he should not be outside the door, but James was loyal and at the same time couldn't help but be a little pedantic, in his cognition, the room was full of cabinet members, so the discussion was naturally a state affair, how could he be involved in it just a housekeeper?

"Steward James, Your Highness let you pass."

Hearing the words of the janissary, the originally worried heart finally let go, but at the same time, there were some doubts, what did His Highness let him do at this time?

Without hesitation, when James hurried in the door, the slightly awkward atmosphere in the room instantly became more lively, and even Kress couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, you are feeling better!"

Yesterday was Joseph's coronation, after all, it was just an eight-year-old boy, and his physical strength could not keep up, so he fell ill on the bed as soon as he came back, fortunately the condition was not serious, otherwise this was not the case in the Principality of Nord at this time, His Royal Highness II had just died suddenly, and His Royal Highness the Third was seriously ill, and it was strange that Nord was not in chaos.

Nodding slightly to James to indicate that he was fine, Joseph did not speak to James as Kress imagined, but asked him, "Kress, I am going to make Robert the Secretary of Defense, what do you think?" ”

Joseph's inquiry was unexpected by Kress, this is a good thing, you must know that although Nord does not have many troops, but the Ministry of Defense is the absolute most important department, he is naturally very happy to be able to control it in his own hands, but as a politician is careful, he does not dare to agree easily, nor will he express his true thoughts in his heart, and respectfully salutes: "I will obey Your Highness's wishes." ”

didn't say what he meant, just said that I would do whatever you said, and Kress, who couldn't see through Joseph's thoughts, could only take one step at a time, and the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth.

"Then decide so! Robert served as Secretary of Defense...... James served as Minister of Foreign Affairs. ”

Well? Kress and James looked up at the same time, their faces full of surprise, neither of them expecting Joseph to suddenly make such a decision.
