Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Overlord's Map
Bang!
In the outside world, because that crack swallowed Sun Dao, the inexplicable power expanded, and the whole world came to a standstill, but suddenly there was a flash of thunder, and a will directly intervened, and the crack in the conference hall disappeared directly, allowing everything that was solidified to resume operation again.
"What's wrong? How did I feel like I was asleep just now? ”
"I'm in a trance!"
"What else are you talking about, run, even that Origin Knight has been devoured, it's too dangerous here!"
"Yes, yes, alas? No, this ...... Wasn't it lightning just now, and the space was shattered, why is it gone? ”
"Where's the Knight of Origin?"
After this recovery, the whole hall was in chaos, but after the initial panic, many people calmed down again, and they were able to settle down, not because their hearts were strong, but because the chaotic scene just now was long gone, but there was also something strange in the calm and calm.
The previous podium was now empty, and Sun Dao was gone.
In the crowd, Ling Yong stood up silently, observing the changes around the podium, and doubts filled his heart.
"What was that? My time seems to have stood still for a while, and where did Sun Dao go? ”
………………
Meanwhile.
"Your Majesty, this is a summary of the news about the unrest in the Junction in the last few days, and what should we do about the nascent kingdom of Samir?"
In the magnificent palace, Emilia sat on the throne, a symbol of supreme royal power, and listened to the head of the cabinet, the newly appointed prime minister, give a routine report - the former prime minister, who is now seriously ill, has resigned, and of course, there is also a power struggle in the dark council. and the agreement with Sun Dao, which is complicated and changeable, but there is no need for detailed tables.
After listening to the report for a while, Emilia asked, "In the last few days, most of the news you have reported is about the Intersection Land, is it true that the rest of the world, as well as all parts of the kingdom, are calm?" ”
The Prime Minister's forehead was slightly sweaty.
Now, no one dares to underestimate Her Majesty the Queen, who has just come to power. No one regarded her as a puppet left by the Knight of Origin, because a complex power struggle a few days ago revealed the queen's means, and the powerful Duke of the North tried in vain to meddle in the affairs of the royal family and expand his power when the royal power changed, but the final result was that the title was lost. I fell into prison and there were a large number of people involved in the case, many of whom were clearly unrelated. But they were all taken down one by one.
What these people have in common is that they are hostile to the new queen or have questioned her authority, and the reason behind this is deep. It's already self-explanatory.
With this background, the new prime minister came over every time to report to the queen and listen to each other's words. I can feel more and more the aura of authority that is becoming more and more solemn.
"Back to Your Majesty, this matter of the Intersection is a hot topic recently, as for the issue of the kingdom and the empire itself, as well as the affairs of other colonies, it is too complicated, and there is not much change compared to before, so it has not been raised, if it ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Emilia interrupted him and said, "Every week that passes, I will give me a report on the movements of the various colonies during this time, and I need to take a general look, as the ruler of a kingdom, I must not only give orders in the palace, but also know what is happening in the land under my rule, and I cannot use the cumbersome and no change as an excuse." ”
"Yes, the minister will write it down." The Prime Minister nodded repeatedly.
"As for the Junction, I need more detail," Emilia said, returning to the so-called hot spot, "Was this Junction originally a colony belonging to the kingdom?" After all, she has not been on the throne for a long time, although the means are amazing, and now she has consolidated the power base, and even to a certain extent, she has gotten rid of the image of relying on Sun Dao as a backstage to stand on the throne, but she has not yet understood the situation at home and abroad in detail, and many times she needs to be consulted.
"We have several major colonies at the Junction, the most important of which is the Land of Moxi, located on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, which is an important stronghold, guarding the throat of the east and west, and the recently dug canal can allow the goods of the Eastern Golden Continent to enter the Mediterranean Sea directly, which is one-third shorter than the original route around the Dark Continent, and the time spent is nearly halved, and it is safer."
Emilia followed up and asked, "So, is the Kingdom of Samir independent in the Land of Moxi?" ”
"No, east of the land of Moxi, passing through the Death Peninsula, arriving at the Land of Flames, there is a desert, it has been a desert of civilization since ancient times, there were not many countries in ancient times, but in the past ten years, with the improvement of technology and the rapid development of the mechanical field, the demand for oil and black gold has been increasing, so that land has begun to be valued because of the large number of oil fields buried, and has become a gathering place of wealth, and the Samir family has also risen because of this, of course......"
When the prime minister said this, he lowered his voice slightly: "Behind this family, there is also the support of the Firth family, and the cabinet is now unable to decide on the treatment plan of this kingdom, which is also taking into account the idea of that one, but it is not good to send someone to inquire directly, so ......"
"So you want me to decide?" Emilia asked unceremoniously, but then nodded in the other party's slightly embarrassed look, "Okay, I'll give you a solution." ”
These words made the prime minister feel slightly relieved.
"I remember, I read a material a few days ago, as mentioned above, in many places, the colonial rule of the kingdom is not to establish a corresponding administrative foundation, but to encircle the local nobles and officials, and rule through indirect methods, which not only saves the corresponding administrative expenses, but also can effectively shirk responsibility, if there is any rebellion, people are often not aimed at the kingdom, but those agents who are surrounded by us."
"Yes, we think it's the best way to rule." The prime minister nodded at the right time, and at the same time understood what the queen meant, "Do you think of cooperating with the Samir Kingdom in this way?" Let them be our agents, well, that's a really good way to invest in oil without the risk of their kingdom. ”
"I'm afraid your idea can't be realized," Emilia shook her head, "As far as I know, the Firth family has made an agreement with the Samir royal family, and all the interests and oil deposits have been transferred to the Firth industry, and what they can get from the Samir Kingdom is currently the name of a kingdom, the identity of a royal family, and the future development prospects, of course, there are Origin Knight as backers." ”
"All taken away by the Firth family?" The Prime Minister seemed to be surprised at first when he heard the news, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt normal, "In that case, Your Majesty, what is your solution?" ”
"The Firth family is also one of the pillars of the kingdom, their colonization of the Samir kingdom, can also be seen as the colonization of the kingdom, I think, through administrative means, help the Firth family, assist them in forming a trading company for the meeting place, it can be called the West Gold Company, responsible for the operation of the corresponding area, but the tax must be transparent, perfect, and supervised by the royal government, this is the bottom line, you can let the cabinet start, make arrangements, send a clerk to the company that will be formed, of course, As for the Firth family, I will step in to be in charge of contact. ”
"Since His Majesty already has a plan, the cabinet will not object." The Prime Minister did not think it was strange for a supreme queen, who was the hegemon of the world, to come forward to contact one of the subordinate families, for the simple reason -
Behind that family, stood the Knight of Origin.
"Well, you go ahead and arrange it, besides, huh?" Emilia still had something to order, but suddenly her heart moved, her expression changed slightly, and she waved her hand in the prime minister's puzzled gaze, "I will tell you about other things when I have time, you arrange it as soon as possible." "The meaning of sending off guests is very obvious.
Despite the doubts in his heart, the prime minister nodded and withdrew.
As soon as they were gone, Emilia got up from her throne and walked with a rather hurried stride to the back of the palace, and after passing through a long corridor, she came to a room that looked somewhat mysterious, and pushed open the door, revealing a dark room.
Turn on the electric light, the room is instantly transparent, everything inside suddenly appears clearly, the most eye-catching thing is the map located on the innermost wall.
It was a peculiar map, which seemed to be made of glass, shaping the continents and oceans of the whole world according to the terrain, and as the light shone through, little by little, the points of light began to emerge on the map, becoming more and more dense, and spread all over the world.
Dense dots of light, gathered together, gradually formed on the map an approximate territory, and if a member of the cabinet was here, one glance would realize that this range was the global territory of the Kingdom of Angesaland, including the territories occupied by the mainland, colonies, and trading companies, as well as the nominal land.
Emilia steadied herself and came to the front of the map, and a majestic voice came to her mind.
"Are you willing to help me as the Queen of Anglosaland?"
"Yes, sir," said Amilia, without hesitation, "I am willing to help you as agreed, and at any cost." ”
The voice said: "Very good, the power of the overlord of the world will form a mark under the guidance of the royal bloodline, I need your royal bloodline to stain the blood on the Kunyu map." ”
Emilia nodded, picked up a short knife from the table next to her, which had been prepared a long time ago, and simply slashed her finger and pressed the blood to the map. (To be continued.) )
