Steam Calendar Year 1029, November, No. 4.

Spear Flame Territory. Snowflakes from the north cover the city of the Gunflame family. On the tower of the Gun Flame family, a thick bell rang, and the bell rang forty-two times, which means that after the Gun Flame family was promoted to nobility, it was passed down to the forty-second generation.

And every time this grand bell is ringed, it is a historic moment for the Gun Flame family. For example, in the past, after the head of the family was made an earl, the tower rang the bell, and today after Binghe arrived at the territory of the gunfire, the tower also rang the bell.

The six mechanical controllers, including the two who had passed over to the Qingjun family, gathered neatly in the hall of the Gun Flame family, and more than twenty elders of the family welcomed Binghe's arrival.

After Binghe walked through the door, Gunflame Sifen took Binghe's hand and walked down the hall. The Lord Earl led Binghe to greet the family's gaze. On this occasion, the Earl is more able to calm the field and nucleate the sun.

In the second half of the ceremony, Binghe looked at the surrounding standing positions and saw his eldest brother, and in full view of everyone, Binghe moved a step and stood on the left side of his eldest brother, making his eldest brother closer to Sifen's position.

Binghe scratched his head and faced the doubtful eyes around him, and laughed at himself in a low voice: "There are some positions that I am not suitable for." ”

Roth was the heir whom the Earl had spent more than twenty years teaching. It is used to deal with various situations within the family. The understanding of the family is not compared to the heartless Bingnu energy. In the same way, managing the complex network of families is not something that Bing Core can handle.

Bing checked and smiled at Roth. The eldest brother was stunned, then smiled helplessly and patted Binghe's shoulder. Ross motioned for Binghe to go forward. Binghe shook his head stubbornly. simply stood directly behind Roth, pressed his palms against Roth's back, and pushed him up towards the second seat of the family.

Seeing this scene, Count Sifen nodded faintly to his eldest son. At the same time, he showed a wry smile of helplessness "can only connive". It seems to be more of a headache about how to control the core in the future. After taking a seat.

Si Fen said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today, the reason why you came here does not need to be repeated. The prosperity of my Gun Flame family has once again reached a high point, so it is worth celebrating. However, so far, the family's seat in the empire will not change very quickly, don't be impatient, the family's path to glory is now beginning to become broader, but you still need to move forward step by step. ”

Hearing this, Binghe observed the performance of an individual within the family through the realm, and found that everyone's expressions were a little incongruous.

However, after learning about the whispers of some of the people below through the field. Binghe knew what the incongruity was behind this.

There are radicals and conservatives in any force.

When the Gun Flame Family appeared as a fortress, some people in the Gun Flame Family thought that since they had the fortress profession as a backing, they wanted to meddle in greater political power. It is better to form political alliances with multiple families, and this faction is impatient to change the status quo quickly.

And the head of the family is still in power, carefully pondering how to go on in the current situation of the empire.

"Ahem, Binghe, Binghe?" Roth poked Bingnu.

Binghe, who was thinking wildly, found the eyes around and looked at him. Binghe realized that he had to speak as well. In fact, the head of the Gun Flame family must also verify this statement in order to guarantee his authority.

Binghe stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "We were mechanics first, and then we were nobles. Now the foundation of our family is the manufacture of machinery in the factory, and it is only then that everyone looks up to it. Do what you have to do on the basics. It's more reliable than struggling in those things that don't have roots. ”

Binghe's tone turned to admonishment: "By the way, I have seen many families during my travels on the mainland, and the decline of a family is often the family's mentality in terms of power. Please be warned! ”

After speaking, Binghe sat back in his place.

The family feast began, and everyone in the family ate the Chinese food with different thoughts.

[At night, in the family's secret room, Sifen, Roth, Binghe and Chenjia]

It's a conversation between the new party and the old school of the Gun Flame family.

Rose stood behind Sifen and Dusty stood behind Binghe, who was the fortress and handed over his plan to Earl Spearflame Sifen.

Half an hour later

Sifen, who put down the paper, looked at Binghe and said, "Are you going to do all this?" ”

Binghe nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Sifen: "You have a big idea. ”

Binghe: "The short-term plan is not big, the medium-term plan can be flexible, and the long-term plan needs to remind us that we have this goal." ”

Si Fen glanced at Binghe: "If you do this and find that many people want to stop you, what will you do?" ”

Binghe: "Appropriate compromises can be made, but the question of principle cannot be compromised. ”

Binghe looked into Sifen's gaze and realized that his words were too formal.

Binghe looked at Si Fen seriously: "When you can't compromise, you need to do whatever it takes." Well, my father, I mean, there are some things that I won't back down from when I die. ”

Sifen's face changed, but she rebuked, "Stupid, you see yourself as a random marketman. ”

Binghe smiled: "There is a difference between the fearlessness of the fool and the fearlessness of the brave. The fool takes his life for a moment. After the pleasure passed, the smoke disappeared, and I didn't know what to do. The brave is even if he sacrifices his life, his will will still be there, guiding the later ones to achieve their goals. Binghe turned his head to look at the dust behind him and glanced at it.

Binghe turned his head and continued: "Father, the Gun Flame family is no longer a median family, and in our original position, we are forced to observe words and emotions and go with the flow. And today, we need to decide the situation. As a backward family, we must hold our heads high in those old families, and we must let the world know that we have something to do and something not to do. In this way, you can play against those old families. ”

It is impossible to change the thinking of an adult, so this sentence is actually addressed to the dust of the underage. Binghe wants to shape Dusty from the outside into a fortress.

[Northern Dragon's Blood Castle, in the study]

Grand Duke Dragon's Tooth looked at his returning daughter, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "It's good to be back." ”

After the father and daughter talked about some family things, the conversation then focused on the group of cars from the north that followed Coffey back.

Binghe transported a batch of standard auto parts to the north, and also transported a group of maintenance personnel to the north. It is equivalent to opening a car repair shop in the north. Most of the faults can be repaired by replacing parts.

In order to pry open the northern market, Binghe has built a one-stop service for product pricing and supporting after-sales service.

The Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth looked at the cars driving in the square with great interest, as one of the few powerful people in the empire. He understood very well the significance of Binghe personally leading the car team across the 500 kilometers.

It was a technical test to dispel the misgivings of the Imperial military.

Dragon's Tooth: "That little one, what a wonderful man. ”

Coffey looked at his father and asked tentatively, "Father, does our relationship with the Gun Flame Family have to be limited by St. Sauce?" ”

Dragon Tooth looked at Kofei, who knew his daughter Mo Ruo's father, shook his head and said: "This is something that can't be helped, the Gun Flame Family was sealed here at the beginning, just to balance us. ”

Coffey defended: "But the Gunflame family has no plan to seize the power of the army in the north, and he said that the Gunflame family will only be mechanics in the future." ”

Grand Duke Dragon's Tooth glanced at Coffey with a slight smile, and his eyes seemed to say, "Who is he?" ”

Coffey bowed his head.

The Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth chuckled and shook his head: "Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future,"

Dragon Tooth looked at his daughter and comforted: "You are still young, there are many ways to deceive people in this world. ”

Coffey hesitated for a moment and told his father about the Iron Fence family.

After listening to this, the Grand Duke thought for a few seconds, and then suddenly shouted loudly: "Good! Very good! It's worth a lot of work! Ha ha!! ”

The corners of Coffey's mouth also raised a smile and said, "So we are in the north and gunfire?" ”

Grand Duke Dragon's Tooth immediately shook his head, causing the smile on Coffey's face to stiffen.

Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth: "These are two different things, if he really wants to concentrate on machinery!" Then let him concentrate on the mechanics. But the Gunflame family is focused on mechanics, and we can't really still treat them as mechanic families! ”

The Grand Duke's gaze at Coffey had made it all clear.

That is, mechanical cooperation should be cooperated, but it should be prevented. Just because the Gun Flame Family holds a wrench must not ignore the possibility that they have the ability to snatch military power in the North. The boss, the stubborn warlord aristocracy, will not allow his core power to be tampered with.

The Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth, who controlled the military power in the north, only allowed his collaborators to be subordinates or knights sent directly by St. Sauk, and never allowed another high-ranking family to gain military control through any channels. The Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth would not let a high-ranking professional become a relative of his family

[The year 1029 of the Steam Calendar passed in peace.] At the beginning of 1030, this calm was interrupted by news from the north. 】

Multiple intelligence services from the Imperial Celestial Towers have picked up information in the north that the Hela have begun to mobilize in full force.

The general mobilization included railway control, material control, a large number of reservists began to receive weapons, carried out integration training, and heavy weapons were deployed to major military towns. This obvious information could not be concealed from the spies that St. Thauk had set up on Hela's side.

The Hella people adopted an aristocratic republican system. However, the most authoritative family in this country has been in power for six hundred years. Politically, the transformation of this aristocratic republic into an imperial state only required a successful war to expand its territory. The head of the ruling family can be transformed from chief consul to emperor.

The chief of this generation of Hella is a woman, and in order to stabilize her authoritarian rule in the country, she has the intention of expanding her territory.

The falconry controlled by St. Sauk's animal trainer carried a video camera and filmed one scene after another on the northern land. These images were played at the Imperial Council of the Imperial Capital.

In the face of the increasingly obvious signs of the Hella attack in the north, His Majesty the Emperor and several Grand Dukes expressed concern and decided to send a number of main battle divisions to the north to strengthen the defenses, but neither the Emperor nor the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth mentioned the plan of "letting Binghe go to the north to carry out a preemptive strike against the Hela people".

And the other giants involved in the political talks also tacitly avoided the topic, as if the north of the empire did not have a fortress of nuclear weapons.

[While the upper echelons of the empire were worried about the war in the north, Binghe was supervising the construction of the school in the school. 】

The school built on the Gunflame Family's territory was much better than the one that was built at West's expense.

The entire school has a magnificent school building, an observatory, a machine shop, a shooting range, and a river wharf.

There are all kinds of teaching equipment, bipedal mechanical mechas, various types of artillery, and vehicles. There are also 4,000-ton ironclads docked at the river docks, which can go directly to the island in the Black Sea (which is also the territory of the Binghe School). The area of this school is almost the domain of a viscount.

Students from the Spear Flame Clan's territory and West became the second batch of students at the beginning of this year. And this second batch of students can already find the standard area from the standard lineage of the first batch of students. The number of students in the school is still small, and the scattered three-story school building and warehouse rooms have reserved large areas of open space. Rows of weak saplings have planned the area for this school.

On the concrete pavement of the school, a large passenger car is driving students towards the school's main teaching building. The students in the car poked their heads out of the window curiously, feeling the feeling of the mechanical car moving forward.

And Binghe is also in the car, and the unique Binghe lies directly on the roof of the car.

Binghe unfolded the field to overlook his own construction achievements, suddenly turned over, lowered his head from the roof of the car to the window, and asked the people in the carriage: "What do you say will become of this school in a few hundred years?" Will the trees I planted put up a green umbrella for the school walkway? ”

The out-of-the-box thinking made the people in the car a little unable to turn around, and the first student Xiao Ming in the car responded while driving: "Lord Principal, are you ready to live until a few hundred years from now?" ”

Binghe: "If you don't live for a few hundred years, can't you think about what will happen in a few hundred years?" Man is not a beast to satisfy the desires of the present, and we can match the title of primate of all things when we think about doing something for the future. ”

Xiao Ming didn't answer, and Chenjia, who was sitting in the front of the car, said, "Master, your school will definitely continue." ”

Binghe raised his finger and said: "Yes, it will continue to be done because it will be useful to more people, and of course I hope that everyone can receive a fair education in the future." The invisible school will be built in everyone's hearts, and the meaning of this school can be reflected. ”

Binghe said this, continued to turn over and lie on the roof of the car, looked up at the bright stars in the sky, and said with a relaxed and leisurely face: "I can be regarded as living up to the responsibility of coming to this world." ”
