Chapter Twenty-Six: The Castle Is Built (Ask for Recommendation! Ask for Subscription)

Mrs. Lee Kerst did not explicitly say yes to Szeto's request, but she offered to let John stay and give her a general overview of the present situation on the island, which in fact showed the attitude of the lady. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Strictly speaking, the lady's move to the island already represented a certain attitude of hers! If she simply wanted to live in a different place, the island of Öland was not a good choice in any way, but she still came!

With a little thought, Situ Jin should have understood that Mrs. Lee Kerst was ready to help him with all her might when she came here.

In fact, according to Mrs. Li Kerster's thoughts, after Situ Jin returned to the territory, he should take the initiative to contact her soon, because if Situ Jin wanted to build the territory, he would inevitably need a lot of money, and in this lady's opinion, Situ Jin should not have much money in his hands! Among the people Situ Jin knew, apart from her being able to help Situ Jin, Mrs. Li Kerst really couldn't think of anyone else with such great ability, so she took it for granted that Situ Jin would take the initiative to find her!

But the development of things was much beyond this expectation, since she got the news of Situ Jin's return to China half a year ago, she waited quietly for more than half a year, and did not wait for Situ Jin to take the initiative to contact her!

Not only that, Situ Jin also built a big city on the island out of thin air with his own strength, Mrs. Li Kerst really couldn't figure out where Situ Jin got so much money, she sent someone to check and couldn't find it at all, for her who has a huge business network in the empire, this matter has to be said to be very weird!

Having been waiting for more than half a year, Mrs. Lee Kerst knew very well that if she continued to wait so long, she would probably miss something forever!

Now that she appeared in front of Situ Jin, it was a charcoal in the snow, if she appeared again when Erland Island was completely on the right track, it would be the icing on the cake!

For a woman like Mrs. Lee Kerster, affection is never the only thing they pursue in life! She wants to help Situ Jin, not purely from the perspective of feelings, but more from the perspective of interests.

Mrs. Lee Kerst was very successful, both from a businessman's point of view and from a woman's point of view, but she was very insecure about this success, because she was in a very politically weak position, and this political weakness could at any moment wipe out her vast fortune.

No matter how talented Mrs. Lee Kerst is, she is only a woman after all, and many times, she needs a broad shoulder to protect her!

No one would doubt that as long as this lady raised her arms, there would be countless rich and powerful men willing to act as her escorts, but the premise of this was that this lady must be willing to sacrifice herself.

In the best years of her life, she had already sacrificed herself once, in exchange for the huge net worth she now has, at that time she did not have the right to choose herself, but now, she has!

If there is a man who makes her feel empowered to stand in front of her and shelter herself, and she admires this man so much, then why doesn't she choose this man, even if this man is not yet the height she wants, she doesn't mind taking the time to wait.

That's right! Situ Jin is the best person for Mrs. Lee Kerst to escort herself! She is now willing to help Situ Jin without reservation, this is not gratuitous, but a hidden investment, she believes that one day Situ Jin will rise to a height that no one else can reach, and at that time, she hopes that Situ Jin can help her in turn!

However, there is no way to say these words directly to Stuart Jin! But Mrs. Lee Kerst believes that Szeto Jin understands them all! Even if he does not understand them now, he will soon understand them!

Everything on the island is moving so fast that it's hard to believe that a year ago this island was a desert island with nothing, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes.

Five months have passed since the first settlers arrived on the island, and in that time more than 700,000 people have moved from the eastern part of the empire to Öland Island, and two sub-cities have been established on the island in addition to the main city, and during this time, the war between the four surrounding small countries and the empire has continued.

The Empire has lost 21 cities! This is the first time in nearly 500 years that the Empire has lost so much territory, and Robert's prestige has dropped to an all-time low!

Because of the war, the eastern part of the empire has become a bad land, except for a few old people who can't go far, most of the eastern residents have left their native homes, and the vast majority of these people have chosen to go to the island of Öland, which, according to many who have moved there, is a paradise!

If it were in normal times, this wave of immigration would definitely attract the attention of the entire government and the opposition, but in this current situation, the empire's territory is constantly being lost, and the whole country is panicking, and not many people have noticed it!

Many ministers offered to exchange twelve cities for the withdrawal of troops from the four small surrounding countries, and Robert was furious, claiming that he would never bow to the surrounding small countries unless the last soldier in the empire died!

Robert, who said this, has not yet understood that no matter how small a country is, if there are enough of them and they are willing to hug each other, then the power they release may be even more terrible than that of a big country!

Just a month ago, the empire once again forced conscription, this is the third conscription of the empire in just over half a year, and the entire empire is already boiling with public resentment!

Many blame Robert for all this, because the decline of the empire began precisely after he inherited the throne!

During the reign of the old Emperor Aldrich, although there was no great development in the empire, there was no great fluctuation, and the people's life was not rich, but there was no need to go out to ask for food!

Contrary to the turmoil in various parts of the empire, at this time, the island of Öland is peaceful!

Situ Jin's mansion was completely built more than two months ago, and the two castles stood at the east and west ends of the hill, forming a distant opposite trend! Looking down the hill, you can see the top of the two castles through the dense woods, no matter from which point of view, these are really two magnificent buildings!
