Volume 1 Chapter 136 The Ten Great Families

January 28, 48 A.D. at 7 p.m

The heirs of the major families play an important role in the military and political circles, and can even influence the emperor's major decisions.

In particular, the four major families separated from the shogunate are against the emperor in everything, and their desire to seek power is immortal.

As for Shangfeng at the beginning, why he didn't directly eliminate it, the members of the major shogunate families, Tao Baibai believes that it is not that Shangfeng has the virtue of a good life.

Rather, it was a deliberate attempt by Kamimine to use the shogunate family to contain the power of the emperor and prevent the emperor from being too powerful, posing a threat to Kamimine's rule.

From this point of view, it is certain that Emperor Qu Dongken Ren wants to fight and even eliminate the power of the shogunate family.

Far away, Tao Bai Bai Shaozuo, the Northwest Theater Command of Oschui is subordinate.

There are the descendants of the ten major families, and it can be said that this small headquarters is the epitome of the ruling class of today's large, eastern, and Asian empires.

The top ten families of the Great, Eastern, and Asian Empires are, in order, the Tokugawa family, the Hatoyama family, the Koizumi family, the Abe family, the Aso family, the Fukuda family, the Mitsui family, the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Li family.

In this world, there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends, only eternal and unchanging interests.

On the issue of imperial power, the ten major families sometimes cooperate, but the private friction, or the power struggle between the major families, is even worse.

The peach family that was white before, that little bit of family background, it may not be possible to increase tenfold, enough to compete with several major families on the same stage, and it is even difficult for people to take a look at it.

But now, he is not what it used to be, and with the favor of Emperor Qu Dongjian Ren, he directly gave him a ticket to enter the center of imperial power.

The Northwest Theater Command, the first person in charge is the Zhang family, Commander Zhang Fan, with the rank of lieutenant general.

Thinking of this, Tao Bai Bai Dazuo sat up in an instant, slapped his hands on the ground and applauded loudly.

"Good~Good~ Good! God help me! ”

That night, Tao Bai Bai Shaozuo asked the adjutant to prepare a plane for himself, and he was going to fly directly to Armstrong City.

The Northwest Theater Command of the Ospow War Zone is currently located in the tallest building in the city, the World Trade Center.

Armstrong is a city of water, with a crisscrossed network of rivers and 165 canals of various sizes that were dug or repaired before the war.

At its peak before the war, it had reached 20 million and was located in the northwestern province of the Osbhai Empire, which was a world-famous international metropolis at that time.

The history of Armstrong can be traced back to the fishing village 2,000 years ago.

At that time, the mayor of Armstrong, a fishing village that was often hit by floods, built a dam on a nearby river, and the city of Armstrong was named after the father of dams.

In the decades before the world's nuclear war, the Osbhai Empire under the FΓΌhrer Betler entered a "golden age" of development, and Armstrong was one of the most important port and banking centers in the world at that time.

It is also one of the best international trade cities in the continent of Ospo, and even in the world. The city of Armstrong is seventh in a ranking, behind Huatg, Ne Ork, Londiu, Paris, Frankfurt and Barelona.

Many of the largest corporations and banks of the Osbhai Empire have their headquarters in Armstrong, including the Osspoi Imperial Bank, Akzo Nobel, G Group, Royal Ahold and Heineken Group.

In addition, many well-known military multinational companies have also set up their global headquarters in the city.

While many small companies are still located near the old canal, many more are choosing to set up outside the city centre, and Zuidas has become a new financial and legal hub.

The area is home to not only the top five law firms in the Osbhai Empire, but also a number of consulting firms, including the Boston Consulting Group, Accenture & Co., and the Armstrong World Trade Center.

Of course, this is the pre-war city of Armstrong, and now, this water capital, after the baptism of war, has long been turned into a frozen city.

Sitting in the passenger pod mounted by the drone, looking out the window at the dark sky, the white ice and snow land, and the city of Armstrong in the distance, the neon lights faintly lit up the huge city outline, as if in a different world.

"It seems that this Hong Kong Governor Zhang Fan has really managed this Armstrong City quite well."

At this time, Tao Bai Bai Shao Zuo had a lot of thoughts, and after talking to the emperor during the day, he turned into a phoenix, and as Shao Zuo, he began to call the third heir of the Zhang family, the head of the Northwest Theater of Oschui, Commander Zhang Fan, by his name.

"Shaozuo, you just received the command of a million orc troops, and you came to exercise military power, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?"

On the side of the cockpit, the peachy adjutant, Hiero spoke tentatively.

"Are you afraid of me, and you have provoked those children of great aristocratic families? Are you worried about your safety? ”

Tao Bai Bai Shaozuo, there was obviously some displeasure in his words.

"My lord, the villain has been your domestic slave since childhood, and has been by your side and served you all year round.

The villain is completely there, worried about your safety!

You are now a celebrity under the throne of the Emperor, and your future is bright.

However, the emperor is far away, and since the imperial expedition to this great war zone, His Majesty the Emperor has never set foot in a single step.

The power of several great families in the empire has long been intertwined here.

You provoke them at this time, but I am afraid... ”

Hiero was cautious, talking about his conjecture, the master Tao Bai Bai is not a young general, but a major general, and those powerful people may not necessarily buy his account,

At this time, the master is hot-headed and provokes them, and he must suffer with the master, no matter what, this time he must stop the master.

"The ambition of the bird? You have followed me since you were a child, and you are the smartest of all the house slaves.

Let me ask you, who is the most powerful among the major families in the Northwest Theater Command now? ”

Peach white and white Shaozuo, as if he was not angry.

"Naturally, it is the Zhang family, the third heir of the family.

Commander Zhang Fan, who is currently the Governor of Armstrong City, Hong Kong, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Xiben Theater, has the rank of lieutenant general. ”

Everyone knows something, the master Tao Baibai still asks? Adjutant Hiero replied for some unknown reason.

"Let me ask you again, among the top ten families in the empire, the third-ranked and second-in-line heir of the Koizumi family, what position does it have in our military region?"

With a weird smile on her face, Momobaibai continued to ask.

"Do you need to ask, my lord, Captain Koizumi Shangjie?

As he had just turned 19 years old, he was still young and held the rank of rear admiral, and now he is our immediate superior, the captain of the Yamato Aerospace Carrier. ”

The adjutant Hiero, who was a little confused when asked, didn't understand for a while what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Captain Koizumi Shangjie, as the second heir of the Koizumi family, not to mention his noble status, there are even rumors that the eldest son of the Koizumi family is frail and sickly, and he is a dou who can't be helped. Joy~"

Speaking of which, Tao Bai Bai Shaozuo actually laughed wickedly, and his already emaciated face aroused layers of wrinkles.

"A few days ago, the villain chatted with the captain's secretary and heard that the Koizumi family intends to unite the Zhang family.

It is precisely with the cooperation between the two sides that the future son of the family will be sent to this northwest theater to be gilded. ”

At this moment, Adjutant Hiero has already slightly understood his master's intentions.

"Then tell me about the origin of the Zhang family."

At this time, Tao Bai Bai Shaozuo looked like a scheming man.

"Although the Chrysanthemum Empire has had a family surnamed Zhang since ancient times, with the rapid rise of the Zhang family in recent years, it has ranked seventh among the top ten families in a very short period of time.

You must know that other big families have developed step by step in the long history of the Chrysanthemum Empire.

It is precisely because of this that it is rumored that the Zhang family today is actually the actual ruler of the East Asian Empire's occupation area, the Eastern Capital, and was only integrated into the empire after being occupied by the empire.

But this is all gossip, I think it's mostly rumors from the outside world, right? ”

Adjutant Hiero, he already understands most of it.

"The true origin of the Zhang family, whether it is rumored or not, I think we can take advantage of it.

In fact, in the long history of the empire, the upper class of the ruling class was a relatively closed environment, and the attitudes of the major families towards the new magnates, I believe I don't say that you also know.

In any case, it is certain that the Zhang family will be excluded.

I think this is also the reason why Lieutenant General Zhang Fan, commander of the theater of operations, did not think about fighting a war all day long and rapidly expanded the results of the war.

But he took himself as a governor all day long, and vigorously operated and developed the city of Armstrong.

Look at the city on the ground, the neon flashes, the singing and dancing, where is the scene of the end of the world?

He, Commander Zhang Fan, is developing his own city. ”

Tao Bai Bai Shaozo said what he thought was the evidence.

What Shao Zuo said is that today's Armstrong City is under the vigorous development of Commander Zhang Fan.

In many ways, it is no longer even inferior to the capital of our East Asian empire.

In particular, the major neutral forces are vying to establish their own branches and even regional headquarters in Armstrong City, and it is said that these organizations pay astronomical taxes to Commander Zhang.

Many aristocratic young masters of the empire even boasted about going to Armstrong City and traveling and spending as a kind of glory. ”

At this time, Adjutant Hiero already believed half of Taobai Shaozuo's statement.
