Chapter 197 State-owned shares
ps: Thank you for the book friend 150418041820941, the little tease coin, and the reward of the demon, and the words about the heartwarming classmates...... I think about it carefully, Nord has developed to a bottleneck, continue to write construction essays and estimate that this book will end soon, and I have no way to mix some emotions and internal affairs, please forgive me.
Nord Palace
Kate is still so dignified, standing there like a noble tulip, and a slight smile also reveals endless elegance, she is no longer the little girl who laughs casually in the port city but the prospective princess of Nord.
"It's hard."
Not to ask but to confirm, which made Kate very warm, shook her head and said: "It's not hard, there are some things I should do, that's my duty." ”
"Let's go home!"
Holding Kate's hand, Joseph wanted to walk towards the palace, but as soon as he held his hand, a categorical refusal came, and he looked at her suspiciously, Kate did not answer but looked at her with a smile.
All right! She is a tulip, a noble tulip, and she needs to keep her noble.
Instead of continuing to hold hands, the two walked towards the palace one after the other, and the butler Abner was very emotional when he saw this scene, although this was the princess he expected to see, but ...... This is also Joseph's sorrow.
She was a princess, and she was just a princess, and she was the princess of the entire Duchy of Nord and not the wife of Joseph alone, which cut off the appearance of love and romance from the beginning.
In the hall, Abner stood behind Joseph and Joanna stood on Kate's side, and neither of them spoke first as they drank coffee.
"Pregnant, how many months?"
"Three months, very peaceful."
"That ......"
"He is not an illegitimate child, and there is no hurry to get married."
Kate is smart. She knew what Joseph wanted to ask, and she was equally empathetic, giving the answers Joseph wanted. At this time, Joseph had a feeling that he could not ask for more.
"Campus life is good, but ...... You are the Grand Duke of Nord. ”
A very ordinary, casual sentence. But it contains a slight warning from Kate, and Joseph is not angry, because he understands Kate's kindness at this time, and he is indeed a lot more casual during this time.
"Nord has a good level of technology and good medical care, but this is not a suitable place to recuperate, so find an oasis in Western Sahara! Build a hospital, and I'll stay in Nord for a while. ”
The environment on the oasis of Western Sahara is very good, and although Nord is also very good, it is only average. Far worse than the oases of Western Sahara, where the only thing lacking was medical care, but was this still a problem for Joseph?
"Good!"
Kate didn't refuse, she didn't want to be too tired, the oasis in Western Sahara was nice, carefree, sandy outside, green under her feet, a rare beauty and environment.
Seeing that Kate promised to come down, Joseph beckoned James to come over, and since Joseph came back, he naturally had to do things by Joseph's side. Joanna didn't matter, because by this time he already understood the reason for his transfer. How can there be any non-sensitive thoughts.
"Two things, let Marceau look for a small oasis that has not yet built a town, and second. When arranging for a regiment to be stationed in the past, it is necessary to ensure the security there. ”
James didn't raise his head, and after noting these two things, he hurried away on the phone.
"James is not bad, but he is not a valet of the palace, it is not appropriate to stay here, and the official business will be handled in the cabinet in the future!"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he agreed with Kate's arrangement, Joanna's face was slightly red, and Kate was slightly stunned. I can't tell you what it feels like.
"Joanna doesn't have to stay here and accompany Kate to the Oasis."
Leaving two daughters with different thoughts. Joseph left the hall.
"Your Majesty, a note from the Cabinet. Say ......"
"Say what?"
"Affirming that the royal family occupies too much capital in the country, which is not conducive to the development of the Nord principality, they want to ask for money to buy back some shares, especially Royal Heavy Industries, Royal Media, Royal Bank, ......"
"Is this what the Cabinet means or is it personal?"
Joseph was not too angry, but Abner was getting more and more nervous and nervous, and he was very alarmed, because once Joseph revealed his dissatisfaction, then the entire Nord cabinet was expected to be dismissed.
"Personally, but any opponent of the Cabinet."
Wiping a handful of sweat that had not been there, Abner waited for the outcome of Joseph's affair.
It looks like Joseph is calm, but his heart is already in an uproar, what does it mean? Is this a cabinet that wants to seize power en masse? But no, they don't have the military power, they don't have any ability to overthrow themselves, so why do they do things that kill themselves?
"Let James come to me."
Leaving this sentence aside, Joseph walked in the direction of the study, and Abner glanced at his back and began to pray for James, and slowly went to contact James.
……
Nord Cabinet
"We were too reckless."
Seeing Smith's look of chagrin, Prime Minister James glanced at the other cabinet members and asked calmly, "You also think the same way?" ”
silent
There is no answer, but no answer is an answer in itself, and things speak for themselves.
"What do you think, constitutional monarchy or ...... Republic? ”
No one thought that James would actually say such a thing, although these words were very calm and calm, but no matter who listened to it, he couldn't help but tremble, and even stood up with excitement and panic.
"Did I guess right or ......"
"Prime Minister James, you should understand that we didn't mean that."
"Don't mean that? So what do you think is reckless? Do you want to accumulate little by little, and when Your Majesty has no ability to resist, you can directly get these shares back? ”
"I ......"
"The world is changing, it's a new century, there are only a few countries left with a constitutional monarchy, a republic, and a real monarchy, so it's normal for you to have such thoughts, after all, no one wants their rights to be held back all the time, and no one wants to see huge wealth gathered in the hands of one person, and you think it's a waste."
silent
"Maybe you don't mean anything else, you just want to use the money that seems to be wasted on the right path, you don't want to keep the treasury burdened with huge loans from the royal family, you take this as your own shame, right?"
Still silent
"I just want to state one fact. This is the Principality of the Nord - the Principality of the Ragnar family, and the Grand Duke of Nord has all the rights here, all the rights. Life and death are all in the mind of the Grand Duke, if you want to be free. The sky beyond Nord is vast, but there is only one master here. Remember, there is only one master. ”
"I don't want to hear anything like that in the future, freedom...... It does not belong to Nord, and the system of the republic is not suitable for the Nord principality, because Nord is not the credit of you and me today, it is the result of Ragnar's operation, and we have only one identity, its administrator. It's a temporary manager! ”
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there is a message from the palace, please go to the palace quickly to meet Your Majesty."
"I will get most of the shares of state-owned enterprises in the form of loans, I hope you can also remember what I just said, here, not only you and me."
Leaving a vague word, James hurried out of the cabinet office, and the rest of the people ignored it, and suddenly their faces turned pale.
"We, what are we going to do?"
"It's none of mine's business. I still have something. ”
Smith didn't mean anything else, this matter really had nothing to do with him, he just stood in the position of the Home Office and sighed about this incident. Things were not good, so he naturally refused to stay any longer.
It was not only Smith who left, but also several old Nord ministers, who all watched the rise of Nord little by little, and also watched Joseph's role in it, without Joseph, then there would be no Nord Duchy today. How could those childish words and ideas come from their mouths.
Nord was a little weak, so he hired some foreign managers, most of whom were in the posts of ministers and vice-ministers, and they were raised by the wind of freedom. That's why we have what we are today.
It's not the first time they want to say such a thing as the resumption of shares and state-owning, but back then, they were soft-spoken and had no right to speak. At this time, they were already in high positions and even cabinet members, and they made a lot of small moves during the time when Joseph was away.
If not. Neither would it be today.
They had also thought about the army, but it was far away in Western Sahara, and it was difficult for them to rush to the aid of Nord itself, not to mention ...... There are some countries that help it, and it is believed that it will be difficult for Nord's army to return to Nord itself at all.
Promise? They can't be called that, they are also thinking about the freedom of domestic citizens, which is called foreign aid, which is a very normal state-to-state connection.
As soon as the old ministers left, the remaining Nord high-ranking officials looked at each other and sensed the apprehension in each other's hearts, after all, this was an act of treason, and the Nord royal family would never let them go.
"Let's leave ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was despised by others, and now he can still leave? The main thing is that they didn't expect that the cabinet was not single-minded, James did not support or even hostile to their behavior in the first place, which is also for the sake of the country and the cabinet, and the biggest beneficiary is James, why would he refuse?
What does James think? James's idea was simple, not to mention his decades of loyalty to the Nord royal family, and even reason made him understand that this could not be done, because there was no possibility of them succeeding.
Recovering the shares may be just a temptation, but knowing Joseph's character, he understands that no temptation can make Joseph compromise, and even make them disappear in the bud.
This was Joseph's usual method, and a few poor fellows could not have imagined that at first they thought that even if Joseph did not compromise, then at most it would be a refusal, but with James's firm refusal and Joseph's call, they realized that things were not good.
"At this time, we must unite and do it in advance! Inform the United States and France and let them assist, those conditions...... We promise. ”
"In advance? We're not ready to ...... yet."
