Chapter 1719: The Empresses' World
"So, the dust has settled. Tsk, except for the big antique that Xiao Lu Xi pulled out at the end, it is still quite handsome, there are no waves from beginning to end, and there is no place for me to appear at all. Oh, obviously I have prepared an army of 50,000 to help Xiao Lu Xi put down the rebellion. β
"I, I also let Brother Char garrison 100,000 troops on the Great Lakes! You won't lose to the Aucklanders! β
"An army of 100,000? You just blow it. With the current population and mobilization of your Nord barbarians, you have only finished fighting Orgrimmar, and you can't breathe for more than ten years? β
"You, you, you ......"
"Take a deep breath, expand your chest, stretch your body, and calm your mind. Your mood will also affect the quality of your milk. Tempest comforted Karin as he glared at Karin covertly.
"Well, yes, the canteen is only that big, and if the quality of the food is not good, the problem will be serious. Woo-la-la-la, what a poor little Terra. β
"You, you, you cow, don't think that the canteen is so arrogant, sooner or later it will hang down! Also, don't call me that little Tella, who are you! β
"Karin, and Artoria...... Let's just restrain yourself for a while. This kind of ultra-long-distance communication across continents is far from being mature, the duration and stability are difficult to guarantee, and the consumption is also very large, so it is not for you to quarrel with! β
"Okay, okay, get down to business! Hmph, but it's clear that it was the barbarian girl who provoked before. β
"What are you talking about, you Oakland cow!"
"I, say, shut up, you, we, now, in, hear, to, to?" With a smile, Swift patted the large force generator on the table, trying his best to convey his eyes to the other side through the projection of the entire system.
As a result, the empress and the future empress of the two great empires of the human world stopped sullenly at the same time.
I don't want to be like a pregnant woman. Her Majesty the World's No. 1 Empress thought.
Miss Storm seems to be genuinely angry, and that must be my fault. A certain knight princess thought so.
So it's really clear who a good girl is.
"Alright, you don't have to worry about the threat of the Spiral Fortress to the port of Carrees, you can send a fleet out of the port now, help the Dragon Knights maintain the stability of the surrounding seas, and by the way, you can come to Kaiyan."
"I've been going to do this for a long time. It's a pity, Uncle Shorty, I still liked him. Obviously, he and his grandfather were also considered kings and ministers in the past, and they were qualified to become a generation of ministers. Why can't you think about it? β
"Of course, he will become a generation of virtuous men. If it weren't for Lu Xi, the previous Auckland Civil War would have been deadlocked, and both you and your uncle would have tried their best to win him over. When necessary, he can support the dominant side as a pillar of the country, and then reap the maximum benefits. Of course, if Master Russell's plan really succeeds, and the Port of Carrees and the Tatsukai fleet are wiped out, it will be impossible for Oakland to bypass Castle Rock if it wants to continue to develop the New World in the future. Then, he will still be the chief of the Auckland princes and the virtuous minister of the empire, and he can still restrain the imperial power. His Majesty Gaeuus has been gracious to him, so he can be just a pure minister, but Karin, you don't have much affection for him. β
"Heh, according to Xiao Lu Xi's statement, this is an incorrigible class attribute, right? I can understand that! It's just that I still think it's a bit of a pity. β
"Have you made a decision? After all, you don't have sufficient evidence, and the Lancaster family was the chief of the princes during the Yanlong period, and the little giant has a good name. If you do it rashly, even you can't afford to take that kind of political risk, right? "Wind Channel.
"So, where do you think I am now?" Karin pursed her lips and smiled, smiling quite brightly, but also smiling quite wickedly.
"Well, I'm not worried about you at that. However, I'm already on the ship back to Neosfia, and there are a dozen guerrillas and elves from the Chamber of Commerce on board, so it's okay if you want me to come and help. According to the speed of my black ship, it would take a few more days to make a detour to the front camp of Dragon Castle. β
"Of course you're welcome! But you can wait for me to deal with it before I come over, I haven't been nervous enough to ask a pregnant woman to help me kill someone, but I can have a small get-together and let little Ellie say hello to his soon-to-be-born siblings in advance. β
ββ¦β¦ Wait, you actually took little Avery with you? β
"I didn't go back to Serokhia, didn't I say that I would take him to tour the entire southern frontier of the empire? After that, I can go north and have a hot pot with all the princes in the western border of the empire in Kaiyan City. β
ββ¦β¦ Oh, I'm the opposite, but after all, little Avery is your son, and I'm not qualified to say anything. β
"Miss Wind, I'm standing on the ...... of this Hmph, this guy's side, it will not be a bad thing to expose the child to some things that he will have to contact sooner or later in the future. The Nords were to be raised in ice and blood, and the Aucklanders, though pretending, were the same as us in this respect. β
"Okay...... Now I'm just a businessman, and I don't know much about the operation of your group of empresses. So, Karin, Artoria, is that now decided? β
Karin immediately changed her solemn expression and said, "It's okay, the Privy Council is here...... Hehe, when the Chief Privy Council and Imperial Prime Minister was not present, he had already approved an annual investment plan of 1 million gold and Austrian baht, which lasted for 10 years, and cooperated with the Future Chamber of Commerce to jointly build a complete set of leading mines and factories, as well as arsenals. We've discussed several options, but it's right at the intersection of Calgary and Yashan. It will soon develop into a new type of city, just called Erjelisburg. β
"Is little Ellie's name named? Not bad. Swift Wind smiled like an old mother who pleased the guest, touched his belly, and looked at the knight princess on the side: "So, Artoria, what about you?" β
"We're not Auckland tyrants, we can't get this money." Artoria shook her head and smiled helplessly, then said, "However, a new type of mine and a small arsenal are no problem. Lu Xi is right, the side of the Triumph Collar backed by the Henas Mountain does have a huge reserve of high-quality obsidian veins, and the dwarf and our engineers have already entered the mountain, and they should be able to invest in it next year. The minerals can then be transported directly down the Black Water River to the Great Lakes and then to the sea. β
Tempest nodded, and continued, "Then the next step is the two railways that will lead from SΓ©loxia to Gloren and Port Carrees, and from Fort Skyrim to the Great Lakes. It will probably take another ten years to build the full investment. However, you have to start preparing your funds now, in business, or I wouldn't mind eating it all. β
"This must have been taught to you by Xiao Lu Xi. Otherwise, Hurricane, I don't know anything about your past. Now this kind of business queen must be very hard to pretend, right? Karin said cheerfully.
"Hello, verbose......" Hurry shrank his head and said angrily, "I, so "
Because she had the upper hand for the first time, Karin said she was very happy.
"That railroad has a guide train or something, is it really that powerful? When I see the plan you gave me, it's like reading the legends of the Age of the Gods. Artoria didn't show any suspicion of a negative nature, but she was too shocked
"With our mortal hands, let the age of the gods come again, nay, more prosperous than the age of the gods! That's what we're really doing. Of course, when it comes to the train, Lu Xi only gave the Future Chamber of Commerce a research direction, and it is said that the first test product has just been manufactured. However, since he is so sure, there must be a good result. However, in the final analysis, what the Chamber of Commerce can do at present is only a workshop of experimental and research nature, and once the finished product is determined, it will be your side that can be mass-produced. Therefore, the supporting large-scale ironworks should also be put on the agenda. β
"Well, the future of Eriherisburg will have to be like this! Well, I can't wait to see the tireless Iron Horse galloping across the vast land. At that time, this thing will really only be able to enter the museum. Karin gave a look of pity.
The First Empress of the World is, of course, now on the St. Harons, the world's largest carriage as big as a moving palace. In fact, since saying goodbye to her friends in Glorem Por, she has spent the past few months in this mobile palace, and has not returned to the imperial capital of SΓ©loxia.
Of course, Her Majesty the Empress was not here to play, as she said: to inspect all the southern coastal provinces of the Empire, and to assert the princes of the south to declare imperial power; After that, he inspected the Imperial Chenhai Fleet and the forbidden army corps stationed in the south of the country, and also carried out exercises with great fanfare.
After doing all of the above, Karin rushed to the location of the largest Iron Mountain and Qiyao mines in Calgary Province, which is the future largest industrial city on the continent, Fort Erijelis. At this time, the engineering personnel of the North Industries, the Future Chamber of Commerce, and the Norda Development Association had arrived, and the number of imperial sappers and civilians who had arrived in advance had exceeded 10,000, and various large-scale project construction was being carried out in an orderly manner. Only then did she feel relieved.
Compared to the shock of the southern princes and even the countries of the Storm Cape, the construction here is more important. Karin was already convinced by this time that the construction of Erikhlisburg might be a leg of the Empire's future foundation.
Of course, no matter how strong this leg is, the other leg must not be given up.
So, after leaving the construction site, Karin began to advance towards the southwestern border of the empire, where it meets the Illist Peninsula. There, of course, is also in the direction of the Dragon Castle, which is "rebelling".
It's been a boring and hectic journey! If it weren't for my son, I would have been bored enough to cut off a few heads to relieve my boredom. The princes of the south and the vassal kings of Stormy Cape are very good.
Just as Her Majesty the First Empress of the World was spinning in her head, the door to her office was pushed open. A chubby jade doll staggered into the door, looked at the former in confusion, happily stretched out two snow-white lotus arms, and rushed over happily: "Mom is here!" β
"I'm chatting with your Aunt Blast, and Sister Artoria." Karin bent down and picked up her son, took his little hand and waved.
Little Elli tilted his head to look at the translucent projection, pondered for half a minute, and determined that the two translucent shadows were really the beautiful aunt he knew, so he smiled and shook his little hand: "Okay!" Woo-hoo! β
"It's Aunt Tempest, and Sister Artoria."
"Auntie! Sister! β
"Oh, why am I my sister?" Artoria shyly slapped her face, feeling that it was a bit beautiful to be called young, and she was completely unaware that she was being taken advantage of.
He was speaking more and more clearly. Well, it's only been three or four months, and I feel like I've grown up a lot. Hurricane continued to smile at her gentle and healing aunt, "In this way, he may be better than me...... No, even earlier than Kalman Jr. β
"My son and I of Little Luxi, the future Auckland Supreme, should be such a genius. Well, I'm not surprised at all. Or maybe I'd be weird if he wasn't smart. Nord girl, where's your little Terra? β
"Of course, it's also very smart! You still need to say it! Won't lose to Little Ellie! β
If it goes on like this, it will probably become a baby PK, and the baby's stomach is still in the stomach The wind felt that it was time to end this conversation, and said with a smile: "Then, it will be carried out according to the original plan." Say goodbye, take care of your body, cherish each other! β
The other two didn't think anything was wrong. So, three new or expectant mothers, and probably the three most powerful ladies in the world, got up to say goodbye, each cutting off their communications.
At this time, the wind that was in the "Black Prince" guided floating ship looked at the huge guiding machinery on the table and frowned slightly. With her perception, of course, she also fully felt that this set of mechanical unnatural sounds and unstable energy fluctuations were becoming more and more intense, and she looked overwhelmed.
This machine really doesn't look like it's too supportable.
"Looks like it's not going well."
A little elf girl came out from underneath the machine, but she was dressed as an engineer in suspenders, a big apron, a toolkit, and a hard hat. She took out a hammer, knocked it around the machine, and finally shook her head: "Yes, for this call, we must increase the power of conduction, so we made a new type of amplifier, but the mechanical mechanism is still old-fashioned, to put it bluntly, the communication instrument of the tactical force guide is enlarged...... Well, that's completely mechanical! If it weren't for high-energy alchemy and sacred metals, it wouldn't have been activated at all, and it wouldn't have been able to produce an amplification effect. β
The elven girl dressed as an engineer sighed, "Besides, I'm also quite worried about the two signal relays on the top of Mount Hegaros and Mount Hernas. It is estimated that the pressure is even greater, and it has been scrapped. Heck, I've lost at least tens of thousands of Bakers this time! β
The rest was fine, but this last sentence made the wind twitch the corners of his mouth in pain: "Indeed, Lu Xi is right, there is no need to pursue the transmission of voice or even projection now." In the future, ultra-long-distance transmission across continents will still refer to the signal by the length of the conductive wave. So, the first thing is to develop a standard guide signal. β
"What will this method of communication be called in the future?"
Lu Xi said that he wanted to call a telegram, but why electricity? Shouldn't it be called a guide? Therefore, in the future, it will be referred to as the Herald. β
The elf girl nodded and began to disassemble the machinery in front of her, while saying, "I will also speed up the research and development of large-scale communication relays!" β
"Don't worry, the main thing is to control costs and stability!" Tempest instructed very seriously.
As a result, the standard and future development direction of the world's conductive communication were formally established in one ship.
On the other side, far away in the Skyrim Fort on the Arel Plateau, Artoria, who had ended the call, picked up her son from the baby basket next to her, and the little baby, officially named Tyronnath Nord Arnor, was ready to breastfeed, but she always felt a little uncomfortable while feeding.
"I think, Mom, we should still have our own steel mill. Our territory is very vast, but officially because it is too vast, we need the kind of iron horse that Lu Xi said. In comparison, the Guided Gun Factory is not that important, and I don't want to even import materials from that Auckland cow in the future! Artoria said.
"Yes, you have finally begun to think about the future of the country, and I am proud of you." Empress Elise's face was full of relief, but it only lasted for a second before she straightened up again: "But, my daughter, when you think about this kind of question, didn't you notice that you didn't even open the placket?" Little Terra is despising you. β
Artoria was in a hurry to realize that her child, who was only a full moon, was indeed rolling her eyes, and she was even more scrambled in her heart.
As a follow-up to this incident, the royal Arnor of the Virginia Empire, with the support of the Ocean Vault, fooled a large group of Nord princes into taking a stake and formulating a development plan. After a year of busyness and bickering, when the baby named Tyronus Nord Arnoor could already sit on his grandfather's neck and pull his beard, the Nords finally began to choose a site for their new guide factory.
As for Her Majesty the Queen of Auckland, who was aboard the St. Harons, she stepped out of the carriage with her heir in her arms. At this time, she was full of energy, walking like a tiger, and looking forward to it, the spirit of dominating the world seemed to have condensed into a halo that people couldn't look at directly.
Under the carriage was the so-called Dragon Fort counterinsurgency battalion. All the princes of the western border of Auckland, the kings and archdukes of the Illist peninsula, and forty thousand warriors like wolves, were bowing down to her, and to the baby in her arms, and saluting on one knee.
"Let's be flat." Her Majesty the First Empress of the World said in a relaxed and gentle tone, but her eyes were locked on the short figure at the front of the crowd.
"Flatten. Tyrion, you're tired, tired, tired. Karin said quietly, as if there was something in her words.
Prime Minister of the Auckland Empire, Chief Privy Counsellor of the Privy Council, Duke of Kaiyan, Guardian of the Empire's Western Seas, ThΓ©rion van Lancaster's heart was a little numb at first, then helplessly bitter, but finally there was a sense of relief. He slowly stood up, and the world realized that this "little giant who fell into the sea of stars" seemed to be a lot older, and his body was even more rickety and weak, but there was a very young smile on his unattractive face.
"As you wish, Your Majesty!"
