"Katerina?! The king of the Romanov kingdom?! ”

There was an exclamation in the room, and if it weren't for Mavi's mouth, who would have believed that a king would personally lead a team to the Olympics?

However, it also proves that Katerina attaches great importance to the Olympics.

In fact, in addition to personally leading the team, the athletes who participated in the Olympic Games this time were also personally selected by Katerina.

When he first heard the news, Mawei was just as surprised as the presidents, and he even asked Katerina why she wanted to lead the team to the Olympics and hold a training match with the Windsor Kingdom, and Katerina's answer was 'it will help her to learn more about the athletes she has selected and help her'.

Whether there is any other reason behind it, Ma Wei is unknown.

A year ago, the Romanov kingdom was in a state of shortage of manpower, Katerina couldn't leave at all, and she had to do everything herself, but today, many suitable officials have been found, the pressure to govern the country has been greatly reduced, and it is okay to leave Mosk occasionally.

Especially after the sharing of technology in the Windsor Kingdom, the Romanov Kingdom has established many new factories, continuously incubating talents, adding a large number of jobs, and some of them are still short of labor.

Regarding the Olympics, although Arthur also attaches great importance to it, he is by no means as concerned as Katerina, for the simple reason that the Romanov Kingdom needs to use this opportunity to introduce itself to the world, and the Windsor Kingdom does not.

As an old industrial power, the goods produced by the Kingdom of Windsor sell well all over the world, and even the primitive tribes of the Southern Continent can find canned food produced in the factories of the Kingdom of Windsor, and some tribesmen will even grind the canned food into pieces and use it as a knife.

The Kingdom of Windsor is developing in a completely different direction from the Kingdom of Romanovs, and it places a different emphasis on the Olympics.

Arthur would not have led the team to the Olympics himself.

"Today everyone is talking about the Magic Olympics that you're going to have a magical Olympics."

At dinner time, Mrs. Cecil prepared Mavi fried herring with a creamy soup, and Unia a cranberry frosting cake and a glass of boiled milk, which she ate while mentioning the news in the newspaper.

Mrs. Cecil was very proud of what Mavi had done, including the neighbours around her, who were also talking about the Olympics.

In the past, the Olympic Games were an event for the aristocracy and the middle class, which was out of reach for ordinary people, and it was difficult for them to even have food and clothing, so how could they have the opportunity to do special training?

Whether it's athletics or football, it takes a lot of time to pile up, and the lack of information, coupled with the distance and the unknown results, also bury many talents.

For many, what they need is a chance to prove themselves.

No one has ever been willing to pay out of their own pockets to carry out a national audition, as long as there is a Church of Truth and a Church of Destiny, you can sign up without spending a penny and there is no threshold.

In order to ensure that people who are busy with life also have the courage to sign up, local towns, villages and other small areas will carry out the first audition, and select the best to be sent to the city for the second round of selection, and increase layer by layer until the finals.

In this process, each player is representing his or her hometown, and the local diocese will be responsible for all expenses, and if he can win in the end and become a representative of the Kingdom of Windsor, he will not only get the Holy See's bonus, but also become a professional athlete, and from then on receive the salary issued by the royal government and become a star.

Although there are not many places, they are more real.

Even if you lose the parish competition, you will have the opportunity to be selected for the local professional team, and you can also receive a salary.

How many people can resist such a huge temptation?

All it takes is a little courage to go to the church and write or say your name and address.

At the same time as the audition, Mawi also issued an order for a census, and the United Kingdom government required each diocese to keep a detailed count of the population under its jurisdiction.

When asked how many people the Kingdom of Windsor has, the official answer is 20 million, which is the result of the census ten years ago, excluding Scotland.

In this regard, the Kingdom of Windsor is obviously not doing as well as the Kingdom of Romanovs, since Katerina ascended the throne and cut down those nobles, a census has been conducted in all aspects, and it would be ridiculous for a government to not even know how many people there are in its own country!

The population of the Kingdom of Windsor has been growing, and Ma Wei estimates that the population of the Kingdom of Windsor is about 23 million today, and there is still a lot of room for development.

As for the Romanov Kingdom, the population is already approaching 220 million.

Mavi has always believed that childbearing is a personal choice, and whether a couple chooses to have offspring often depends on their vision for the future.

If you are pessimistic, or have a lot of survival pressure, you will naturally not choose to have children, because you can't afford to raise them if you give birth.

Otherwise, the population will grow gradually, and there will be no need to worry about fertility.

Of course, childbearing is not something that can be explained in a few words, and there are very complex factors in it, such as people with higher education rarely have more than three children, while ordinary rural households sometimes have seven or eight or even more, and the more difficult the year, the more so.

If there is no universal education, no educational reform, and no comprehensive literacy, perhaps the population of cheap labor will never be reduced, but is this correct?

Wanting everything means getting nothing.

What you want to get, you must pay the corresponding price, this truth, even the devil knows.

If you want to give a reason why labor must be cheap, Ma Wei can only start from the perspective of benefiting the country, but if this country, this government is established for the people, then the cheap labor obtained by hurting the people seems to have changed its taste.

Ma Wei and Levine have discussed 'late justice', and Ma Wei's answer is that if the late is due to lack of ability, then the late justice should be considered justice.

If you have the ability to do it deliberately and deliberately do not do it, but deliberately delay it, is this still justice?

The former wants to do it but doesn't have the ability, and if it has the ability, it will do it, while the latter has the ability but doesn't do it, and it has to carry the slogan of justice.

It's kind of disgusting.

Mavi chose the former.

He would rather give up the benefits of cheap labor to the state and the government, and choose to eradicate illiteracy in all aspects, build schools, and provide basic education.

"Are there a lot of people signing up in Flower Street?" Mavi cut off a piece of herring and dipped it in the sauce and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Many! The tavern owner across the street also signed up! ”

"Him?"

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, opposite the potions grocery store is the dirty duck beer hall, the owner is a middle-aged man, although he is not a big belly, and his body is relatively strong, but he has also begun to get rich, such an old age.

Participating in the Olympics?

"He's applying for the Javelin project!" Mrs. Cecil laughed and said, "When I saw him this afternoon, he told me that he had great strength, and that he was no worse than the laborers outside."

There are many similar tavern owners, after all, there is no registration threshold, come if you want, speak with strength, and the publicity is also in place, attracting a lot of people, it is naturally a good thing to be able to get the ranking, and it is nothing if you can't get the ranking, just treat it as entertainment.

After eating, Mavi wiped his mouth, put on his coat, picked up the prepared suitcase, and was about to leave with Yunia.

"Father, are you going out so late?"

Mrs. Cecil, who was tidying up the table, heard the voice and came out of the kitchen.

"I'm going back to Mosk, I've been in London for half a month, and I have something to deal with there."

Mavi put on his hat and leather gloves, took Yunia's hand and said, "Katerina told me to go back, she has already selected a group of suitable candidates. ”

"When will you be back, Father?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure yet, if it's okay, in half a month."

Swish!

Activating the Heart of the Jungle, Mavi and Yunia's figures disappeared in an instant, and the teleportation points left behind by the Heart of the Jungle were used to launch multiple teleportations.

It's approaching midnight

Swish!

In the prayer room of St. Basil's Cathedral, Mavi and Yunia suddenly appeared, the snow was falling outside the window, and the silver moonlight reflected the snow like stars, and tonight was a full moon night.

Luo Jin had already hidden, curled up in the room and did not dare to go out, the wolf's head could keep it in human form, but the pain could not be reduced, and it could only be resisted.

The multi-stage teleportation was very energy-consuming, taking off his hat, Ma Wei walked into the lounge and sat on the sofa, Levine walked in with a bucket of ice cream, and saw Ma Wei stunned: "Boss, when did you come back?" ”

"Just came back." Glancing at the ice cream in Levin's arms, Ma Wei raised his eyebrows: "You're not afraid of diarrhea when you eat ice cream in the middle of the night?" ”

"What does diarrhea have to do with eating ice cream?" Levine was confused.

"Of course it matters, it's useless to explain to you, let's eat."

Yunia stared at the ice cream in Levin's arms and drooled, and after a while, the ice cream bucket was transferred from Levin's arms to Yunia's hands, wine-smacked.

"You're back just in time."

Levine closed the door, blocked the cold wind blowing in the corridor, and sat down in front of the fireplace: "Fat Orange told me the day before yesterday that the secret police set up by His Majesty Katerina sent a small team in the direction of Berlin, apparently trying to infiltrate. ”

"It's normal, don't make a fuss."

After a pause, Levin added: "How would you feel if I told you that an informant of the secret police had infiltrated St. Basil's Cathedral?" ”

The hand holding the teacup tightened, and then he immediately returned to relaxation, and Ma Wei said in a calm tone: "Who is it?" ”

"Odeev, a minor friar."

"The one with the mustache?"

"Yes, he's right."

"Oh"

Ma Wei nodded, still unresponsive.

"What are you going to do?" Levin asked.

"What to do and how?"

"If you say it's good, it's called eyeliner, but if you don't say it's good, it's a spy!" Levin said solemnly: "The spies that Katerina planted by our side! What does she want to do? ”

"A spy is a spy, don't get so excited."

"Boss, her ambitions and desires are too big, I'm afraid of her"

Ma Wei suddenly interrupted: "There are some words, I will talk about them after thinking about them, but once I say them, I can't take them back." ”

Levin choked up and said: "Bodlinov's recent actions have been too much, the secret police have infiltrated the whole country, and if this continues, any secret will be known by Katerina!" ”

"Look at what you're saying."

The corners of his mouth raised a smile, and Ma Wei said lightly: "Isn't Fat Orange also spying on Katerina and the secret police?" What is the difference between what we do and theirs? ”

“.”

It is not clear whether the secret police infiltrated the church, whether it came from Katerina or Bodlinov, but it is certain that Katerina most likely knew that the secret police were actually inferior to the Cat Legion.

Cats are everywhere, watching everyone, and every move will be passed into the ears of Fat Orange, and the actions of the secret police are indeed mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, but in front of the cat army.

Some are not enough to see.

This can be done mainly because the secret police can't ban the actions of the cat legion, including in the royal palace, the cat is swaggering after you, what can you do?

Perhaps, Katerina was using this way to implicitly protest against Mavi.

Trust is mutual.

Sending cats to spy on is itself a move of distrust.

"Tell Fat Tangerine to withdraw all the cats that are watching the palace." Ma Wei said.

"Huh?!"

Levine was taken aback: "Why? Katerina has planted spies in the Holy See, and we still have to take the initiative to back down? ”

"Do you trust Katerina?"

"I trust it."

After thinking for a long time, Levin replied in the affirmative: "Without Katerina, there would be no Church of Truth today." ”

"So why are we sending cats to watch over the palace?"

"This is for fear of the ancient god forces invading the palace!"

"It's true, but everyone needs privacy." Ma Wei lowered his eyes and said, "Of course Katerina has her own private life. What's more, sending cats to keep an eye on the palace to prevent the invasion of the ancient gods' forces, isn't this to say that we doubt Katerina's eyes on people? For a monarch, this is tantamount to an insult. ”

Levin was silent for a moment, he didn't think about it so much, when it came to the delicacy of his mind, he was indeed inferior to Ma Wei.

"A kingdom is a kingdom and a church is a church, and the two must not be confused." "Even in the age of theocracy, we have to treat others with respect," Mavi said. ”

Before Levin could speak, Yunia, who was eating ice cream on the side, looked up and spoke: "Dad is right!" I won't call those gods orphans anymore! Respect Them! ”

Yo, there's an unexpected bonus

Ma Wei nodded: "That's right." ”

"Luca and Wilde must not be called, and they will only call their opponents in the future!"

Yunia said seriously, "They're not human anyway!" Orphans shouldn't be able to hurt them! ”

Stretching out his hand and scratching his head, Ma Wei didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Are you going to withdraw on Friday?"

Levin suddenly asked, "It's those cats who are watching Buckingham Palace." ”

"No, they won't withdraw, this is what I agreed with Arthur."

Ma Wei's eyes narrowed:

"Arthur's side, there are probably demons lurking, London is no better than Mosk, it's like a sieve, there are holes everywhere."
