Chapter 146
The Three Princesses of the Empire, Pinna? Spear? Randa opened her eyes from her misty sleepiness.
The sunlight, which was divided into countless pieces, shone through the open shutters and into the medieval palace, piercing her eyes.
The imperial capital is located on a two-day hike inland from the coast called the Blue Sea.
Although the sun is very strong, it is quite comfortable when the cool breeze that flows down from the snowy mountains of the north.
The palace is located on the easternmost of the five hills of the imperial capital, on the waistside of a hill called Satira.
The house in the east of it was the place where she was assigned.
Since the ventilation is quite good, the aroma of cypress trees in the eastern forest wafts in the wind. Pinna is quite fond of the smell that brings clarity back to the mind.
In the sun, the slender white fingers spread red hair, pressed lightly on the temples.
"Ah, Your Highness, why haven't you had a good rest."
Hamilton, a would-be knight with short flaxen hair and a clerk to the royal daughter, pushed the door in, and saw the royal daughter who had just woken up from the table, worried and complaining.
At this moment, the princess in her eyes nodded, and her upper body without image was crawling on the table, all kinds of documents were piled up on the table, and she didn't have a good rest in bed last night.
"Oh, it's Hamilton, I fell asleep last night unconsciously, don't worry if it's okay."
The princess Pinna seemed to have just broken free from her sleep, and only relaxed when she saw that the person who came was her personal affairs officer.
But the next moment, when she saw the documents placed in front of her, some of which were even crumpled by herself, she hurriedly began to put them away.
"Oops, terrible, how did it get like this!"
Unlike the expensive and soft parchment, the princess's table was a stack of white paper full of wrinkles.
It was something she had brought back from Itarica, cheap and easy to use, and more importantly, it contained some precious things about how she and Itarica worked together.
Flattening the crumpled white paper in a panic, Pinna looked at what she had written last night, and felt a little confident about the cooperation agreement to be fulfilled next.
"The Ancient God Emperor"
Recall the agreement signed not long ago, as the Imperial Princess, she helped Itarica find the Adamantite Mine, and found a way to give them the legal right to mine it.
In exchange, they will train their own Knights, teaching them the ability to defeat their green-clad enemies.
She also gained the ability to buy Itarika Supply Center goods in bulk, and even steel artifacts.
All she had to do was find the Adamantite Mine and have it mined by Itarica.
I have to say that the conditions given by the new lord of Itarika are something she can't refuse, and if the precious pure gold ore can be exchanged for a way to defeat the enemies of the green spotted clothes and retake the Holy Land, then she will not hesitate to do so.
After witnessing the magnificence of the war, the princess felt that she had lost faith in the Knights of the Rose, which she had founded since childhood, or that she had lost any hope in the military power that the empire was proud of.
Whether it is a steel fortress moving on the earth or a steel wyvern flying in the sky, they are all existences that surpass the existing power of the Empire.
With such an enemy, how should the devastated empire deal with it?
There are still thousands of green-clad enemies stationed in the Hill of Arnus, and what will happen if they invade the Empire again.
There is also the new lord of Itarika's unknown origin, who actually has a weapon that can defeat the army in green clothes.
Although it seems that they have no malicious intentions, when there is a problem in the empire in the future, who can guarantee that the other party will not have other ideas.
Even if they don't have an idea, if they sell weapons that can change the color of heaven and earth to other kingdoms at every turn, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the empire is swallowed by the kingdom that has greatly increased its strength.
Faced with the situation in which the nobility of the empire was gradually divided into two factions due to the defeat of the war, and the emperor's contempt for herself, Pinna was ready to take another path to prove herself.
She is to be the first to befriend the lord of Itarica, and establish close cooperation with him.
"Your Highness, would you like to take a shower before breakfast?" Hamilton interrupted the royal daughter's memories and stood at the table to ask for instructions.
"No need, serve me to change clothes!"
After politely turning down her clerk, Pinna rose from her chair.
"Today's time is quite tight, we have to rush to the other party as soon as possible to find the fine gold ore that can be handed over to the other party for mining, and sign the final agreement.
Then you have to decide what you need to buy. Hamilton, remember to remind me that we need to buy some more as gifts for others. ”
Pinna couldn't help but frown and sigh heavily as she thought about the many nobles and ministers she needed to visit in order to increase her allies.
"You're all right, Your Highness looks like he's tired."
"If I say no, can Hamilton replace me?"
"My subordinates will definitely not be able to!"
"Then, this palace can only hold on for the sake of the empire!"
Although the emperor of the empire, his own father may be disdainful of his actions, but in order to seize the opportunity he finds, being tired may be the most insignificant price.
The princess sighed and handed the paperwork to the clerkess, left the office, and hurried in the direction of the bedroom.
When they came to the dressing room, they asked the long-awaited maid to re-tie up the long scattered fiery red hair, put on light makeup, and put on formal and classical clothes.
After making these preparations, Pinna appeared in front of the manor with her maid and sat on the steel artifact called the Helicopter, and after about five or six hours, she was over Itarica, which required seven or eight days on horseback to reach.
Looking at the crowded town below, only a dozen days have passed, and Itarica has recovered from the fighting, and it seems to be better than ever.
The old medieval city, because of the war, reduced many dilapidated old buildings and added many new buildings under construction.
The princess felt that even the area of the city seemed to have expanded, and the shops and houses had been built beyond the original city walls.
The helicopter stopped on the huge lawn of the Earl's Manor, and Pinna was still in a trance as she staggered down from the helicopter.
Fast!
It's so fast!
Even the imperial dragoons could not be so fast.
And compared to the bumpy and untamable pterodactyl, the driving experience of the "Steel Wyvern" is completely comfortable, and there are far more people who can ride at one time than the pterodactyl.
"Meow, Your Highness Pinna, please follow me next!"
"Okay.
The cat-man maid in charge of answering gently lifted her apron, and after saluting, she led the three princesses of the empire across the lawn and across the garden to the elegant living room.
When Pinna walked inside, the first thing that attracted her was the interior décor.
She also came here last time, and compared to the previous magnificence, the current meeting room seems to have undergone a drastic change.
Simple and bright, with all kinds of furniture and facilities that I have never seen before, it is refilled here.
The lord he was going to meet with was sitting in his strangely shaped black chair at this moment, with his head resting on the back of the chair, and behind him stood a young blonde goblin, pressing his shoulder softly.
"Führer, Princess Pinna of the Empire has arrived, meow!"
The cat-eared maid bowed down and reported respectfully.
"yes, got it."
Shen Sen took his eyes off the projection screen in front of the table and looked at the doorway, showing a hearty smile.
"Miss Pinna, please take a seat."
Feeling the small hand on his shoulder that was still gently pressing, Shen Sen patted it and told it to stop.
When the referendum came to an end, he hurried to the fantasy world again after handing over the follow-up handover and the specific matters of rehousing the new area to the established bureaucracy.
In general, as a leader, he is now only responsible for some decisions on the general direction of development and the early direction of the new world, as well as subspace and psionic exploration experiments.
Everything else is left to the well-established organizational structures in the regions.
If it is placed in another organization, such an important matter, the leader will definitely feel at ease if he does not supervise it himself.
This is normal, because man is a special and complex animal, both animal and social.
Some people can be fearless for the sake of lofty ideals and morals. There are also people who are only willing to abandon the selfish instinct of social obedience to biological genes for their own selfishness, and drive them to do something without a moral bottom line.
For most people living in human society, it is basically social nature that slightly overwhelms animal nature, and they will consider the pros and cons between themselves and others before doing things.
The human system established on this basis requires that the leader must be a very social human sage, who pays attention to the public and the private for a while.
However, under the constraints of productive forces and human instincts, it is impossible for all bureaucrats to have the spirit of selfless dedication, impartial law enforcement, and no selfishness.
If you want everyone to be a sage, you can either turn people into machines, or let him sincerely accept the idea that he must first become a sage for the bright future of mankind.
This condition is very difficult for other organizations, but for Shen Sen, who has a spiritual broadcast, it is completely achievable to let the selection of the bureaucracy and the moral quality teaching materials he compile, and quietly make him truly recognize the spirit of sincere service to the masses in the course of study.
An efficient, fair, honest and dedicated bureaucratic organization is one of the driving forces behind Bluestar's rapid development.
With the support of such a team, Shen Sen had to implement one idea and plan after another with near-perfect results.
If Shen Sen requires all public servants to become bureaucratic pacesetters, then he requires the same for himself, or even higher.
Running around non-stop, handling all kinds of affairs diligently and prudently, and not indulging in pleasure for his own selfishness, is the best answer he can make now.
Now his first goal is to find a way to obtain a large amount of Adamantite and produce more powerful weapons to deal with the threat of war that may break out between the two worlds.
Shen Sen stood up, walked to the opposite side of Ping Na's seat, sat down, and said straight to the point.
"Since you've arrived, let's talk about the mining of Adamantite, I believe it's a pleasant cooperation!"
"I hope so." The emperor and goddess were solemn, and there was a faint expectation in her red pupils.
……
The blue stars are surging.
The repercussions and rifts between the Johannes Autonomous Region and the non-Yugoslav Union are buried deep in the surface silence.
The shock caused by nuclear weapons is like a volcano about to erupt, and it has a huge impact on the whole world.
In particular, Johannes released a message claiming that he has a variety of types of missiles, including the Thunder intercontinental strategic nuclear missile, which can protect the citizens of Johannes Autonomous Region in all directions and around the clock.
However, after roughly measuring the yield and delivery capability of nuclear weapons, several major nuclear-armed countries know that the facts are a foregone conclusion.
In terms of the principle of nuclear explosion, the nuclear warheads carried by the intercontinental missiles used by Blue Star can be divided into fission bombs and fusion bombs.
The former is the first generation of atomic bombs, with a low explosive yield, which is a radioactive element uranium or plutonium, which uses a neutron source to "ignite" a core that exceeds a critical mass, and a violent self-sustaining fission reaction occurs, and the explosion produces amazing power.
It is estimated that the energy released by the fission of 1 kilogram of uranium is 20 million times the explosive energy of 1 kilogram of TNT explosive, which is often referred to as "20,000 tons of TNT equivalent".
Later, scientists developed fusion bombs, also known as hydrogen bombs or thermonuclear bombs, which are the second generation of nuclear bombs.
It uses the isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium, to fuse and release even greater energy.
Generally speaking, the explosive power of fission bombs is hundreds to tens of thousands of tons of TNT equivalent, while fusion bombs often reach the explosive yield of millions or even tens of millions of tons.
There is also a nuclear bomb with a small yield but aimed at launching a large number of high-energy neutrons, which has very little direct killing power and a limited range of impact.
However, high-energy neutrons can penetrate the barrier of a large number of materials and kill biomass, and when they first appeared, they were included in the tactical devices monitored by the treaty because they directly lowered the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, and could not be directly deployed.
However, the technical difficulty of this bomb is greater than that of a fusion bomb, and it is basically impossible for other countries to possess it except for a few major nuclear powers.
According to the power of this live nuclear explosion, several nuclear-armed countries in Blue Star combined their own data to estimate that the nuclear weapons possessed by the Johannes Autonomous Region may be a full-fledged hydrogen bomb.
As usual, they would have tried to get Johannes to give up his nuclear weapons through economic blockades, diplomatic encirclement, public opinion crusades, and so on.
But now they find themselves trying to force the Johannes Autonomous Region to give up its nuclear weapons by means of encirclement and interception, which seems to be a bit difficult.
Because, in the world of capital, Johannes has unconsciously become an indispensable piece of the economic map of the Blue Star.
The electronic information industry and the biomedical industry, which grew from there, almost reached a point where it would not have been possible to develop without Johannes.
The Autonomous Region of Johannes is an irreplaceable presence, whether it is engaged in the production of equipment, hardware manufacturing, system integration, software development related to electronic information products using electronic technology and information technology, or the pharmaceutical and biomedical engineering industries closely related to biomedicine.
If it were to be economically blocked, the result could be a thousand enemy casualties and eight hundred, not to mention that Johannes still had the existence of the Ninth District.
Therefore, after many considerations, they abandoned the economic blockade used in the first place, and instead invited the Johannes Autonomous Region to join the Nuclear Weapons Limitation Treaty.
The Johannes Autonomous Region gladly accepted this, ignoring the petty actions of the major powers and ostensibly acceding to the treaty and affirming its right to support.
Since then, the entire state of Philippines has fallen silent.
Everyone felt that it seemed that a world power was about to be born from the backward land of Philippines, and that it would be an unprecedented historic event.
