Chapter 636: Bridge Repair and National Focus

"Charles is making big news again!"

From the Doudou Dagger in the Forging Holy Land to Victoria in the Platinum Tree Palace, from Nicholas II in Abyss City to Leif in Weilong Mountain, all the bigwigs are either pinching their brows or rubbing their temples, and they are all born to beat up the Death Star if they don't make big news.

However, this kid gave enough money, so the bigwigs sent the right-hand man Charles needed to Catania City.

In the past few days, everyone in Catania City, from nobles to commoners, has been a little panicked.

It took only half a day for the Earl of Maccaten to build a bridge for the city of Catania in the eastern valley to spread throughout the city, and everyone wondered what kind of bridge the legendary Earl was going to build.

The mountains and forests around Catania City are rich in magical resources, but the surrounding mountain roads are difficult to travel, and the freight of transporting goods out accounts for a lot of costs, making the products here uncompetitive.

In the past 100 years, there have been many attempts to build bridges over the river valley to connect the road to the town of Jare to save transportation costs, but the deep valley and the rapid flow of the water have made those attempts unsuccessful.

People wondered what kind of bridge the Earl of Maccaden would build for everyone.

In the past few days, any news about Charles has spread very quickly in the city.

In the afternoon of the same day, Charles rented a manor house on the northern outskirts of the city from the Marquis of Marlin, saying that it was the office space of the "Charles Bridge Project Department".

The nobles in the city knew that it was the largest manor under the name of the Marquis of Marquis Marlan, and many people had gone there to attend the banquet held by the Marquis of Marquis Malan.

The next morning, the people of the city looked up at the sky from time to time, because every once in a while various dragons flew in the sky.

It's not that the people in the city have never seen the world, and recently the old men will buy things from the elves from time to time and let the dragon send them.

But it is extremely curious that so many dragons have flown to the manor to the north, and some of them are not gone.

Charles, who has re-incarnated as a project manager, has been busy recently, and finally coordinated the gods invited by all parties, set up the engineering technology department, material procurement department, quality management department, finance department and logistics department, and appointed deputy project managers, technicians, material personnel, quality personnel, surveyors, construction personnel and data personnel.

After straightening out the personnel of the project department and the responsibilities of each department, Charles held the first plenary meeting. In addition to the entire project department, King Antoine II of the Kingdom of Bischberg and Marquis Marquis Marshall, Lord of the City of Catania, were also present.

Charles made such a big fight, and several dragons came, it was strange that Antoine II could still sit still, and the current lineup was enough for Linda to enter the palace.

There were no polite words at the beginning of the meeting, and Charles directly moved out the 1:100 chain bridge model that had been completed in the past two days.

The initial location for the construction of the bridge spans about 200 meters, which is twice the length of the Luding Bridge, and the two-meter-long model allows people to intuitively feel the grandeur of this chain bridge.

Antoine II was a little surprised, and he said to the Marquis of Maran, who was sitting next to him, "Can it be done like this?"

"We can build it without him. ”

The Marquis of Marlan had been here for the past few days, having been listening to the disputes between elves, dwarves, dragons, and humans at the engineering and technical department that had been formed at the beginning, and had a general understanding of the difficulty of building this bridge.

He said to the king: "We cannot build it, and the most difficult part of this bridge is not the iron cables, but the place where the iron locks are fixed at the two ends, and the slightest mistake will cause the whole bridge to collapse." ”

"They did a lot of calculations for the bridge, and to be honest, I didn't understand what they were saying other than the numbers. ”

Antoine II said to his brother in a narrow manner: "We wrote your math homework for you back then. ”

Marquis Marlan smiled, then sighed, he thought of the other old brother who had been captured a few days ago.

Antoine II, knowing what the Marquis of Marlan was thinking, said: "He is very ill, but he is on the wrong path. ”

"I let him enjoy it for three days. ”

Marquis Malan only nodded slightly, understanding what the king meant.

At this time, Charles, who had just finished introducing the chain bridge, came up with a new trick, he took out a few parts and inserted them next to the chain bridge model, and then formed a zipline.

The zipline is a preliminary project planned by Charles, which will not only facilitate the movement of staff between the banks of the river valley, but also provide it for the merchants of Catania City to earn some food for the project department.

At this time, the products of Antoine II and the Marquis of Marlan became serious, compared to the huge amount of iron chain bridges, although the zipline is not efficient, but relatively simple, if it can be popularized in the mountainous kingdom of Bischberg, it will undoubtedly promote the speed of logistics.

Antoine II had a number of rings on his hands, and he inspired one of them, and an enchantment enveloped him and the Marquis of Marlan, making it impossible for anyone outside to hear their conversation or see the shape of their mouth.

Antoine II said, "Do you still support Louis that kid?"

Marquis Malan smiled bitterly, Louis pursued Linda with the support of several of them, otherwise how could there be wild boars and bears that day to threaten Linda and create conditions for Louis to save the beauty of heroes.

The only people who supported Louis in the kingdom of Bischberg were the few border nobles to the east who confronted the Duke of Redkin, who had been feared by successive Duke Redkin for decades.

Although Charles is the grandson of Duke Redkin, the relationship between the grandsons is not very secure when it comes to eliminating military threats from the east.

If Louis marries Linda and gives birth to an heir before the current king dies, then Duke Redkin's energy will be drawn to domestic politics, and even a civil war will break out, so that the Marquis of Marlan and they can rest easy.

At the same time, Marquis Malan is also worried about the hatred between Charles and Allen, which makes these old nobles who do not stand in line with the heirs to the throne have some scruples about Charles.

And now, the development of the situation is more and more favorable for Charles, who will win the support of more and more people by breaking through the shackles of domestic transportation in the wool textile industry and the domestic transportation shackles on the other.

Unlike those court nobles who only have money bags in their eyes and local nobles in the interior who have their own acres and threes of land, the Marquis of Marlan, who is the king's confidant, thinks more long-term, and they even think about the possibility of the royal family changing their surname to Maccaden.

Marquis Malan was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm old, and now I only think about finishing this bridge, and then I'll go back to the territory and train those bunnies to be stronger." ”

Antoine II heard that he was no longer involved in the succession to the throne and preparing for retirement, and then sighed: "We are all old. ”

"I went through the history books a while ago and found that I couldn't borrow half a point from the wisdom of the old people to deal with the current situation. ”

"It seems that we are going to face changes that we have not seen in thousands of years, and it will be up to the young people to do the future. ”

At this time, Marquis Malan frowned and asked: "What are your plans on the demon side, the time is not far away, we used to bet on Allen, and now it seems that he will not be able to pass Charles's level." ”

Antoine II's face darkened, Alan was also his son no matter what he said, but he did everything he could.

He originally thought that sending Alan to the Temple of Light for five years of labor and returning after the McCaden family tragedy had subsided, then things would be much easier to handle.

But no one expected that Charles would soar in the past few years, making the political and economic influence of the Maccaden family rise to several levels.

Not long ago, the matter of the "Four Emperors' Staff" has been reported among the high-level of various countries, and none of the kings think that they can invite so many popes to build weapons for themselves, and they don't know that they have undercounted a pope from the west.

Now when Charles is mentioned, it is inevitable that his family will be mentioned, and the heat of that tragedy cannot be reduced.

Antoine II said: "This level Alan is on his own. ”

"Fortunately, the army he left behind has already taken shape, and it can be pulled out next year. ”

Marquis Malan's eyes narrowed and said, "It seems that we can give the demons a big deal when the time comes." ”

As a result, Antoine II shook his head, motioned to the Marquis of Marlan to look at Charles, and said, "Do you see the wheelchair man next to Charles?"

The Marquis of Malan looked over and asked, "Who is he?"

Antoine II said "hehe" twice and said: "He is Alexei, the head of the Cardinal Order of the Demon Harvest and Forging Temple, and he was very close to the dwarves in the past few years. ”

"The dwarven saint and a cardinal were injured and had something to do with him. ”

The Marquis of Marlan almost stood up, but was pinned down by Antoine II.

Antoine II said calmly: "I think it's not just him, I'm afraid there are many demons among those who came to help Charles." ”

"The relationship between the elves, dragons, and demons has always been good, and Charles seems to rely on them to get on the line. ”

Marquis Malan frowned and asked, "You just look at it like that?"

Antoine II nodded and said, "After His Excellency Nessario came to visit that year, I was wondering if the kindness released by the demons was real. ”

"You can talk to him privately during this time, and if they are really peace-loving, we can talk to our neighbors to the north. ”

Marquis Marlan's expression became more serious.

Yu Gong, killing the Filingen Kingdom in the north, monopolizing the forest and sea resources in the north is of great benefit to the Schberg Kingdom.

Yu privately, he has a son who follows the military, compared to fighting with the demons can only plunder, beating the Firingen Kingdom can occupy its land, and then expand the family territory, it seems that the risk is smaller and the benefit is greater.

He nodded and said solemnly, "I know, I'll talk to him about it." ”

Antoine II also nodded slightly, national decision-making needs sufficient intelligence support, and now what he needs is to obtain more information.

When Charles finished giving an overview of the project and arranging the next steps, Antoine II also set the general direction for the country's next policy.
