Black Iron Crown

January 2nd, Twenty-five Years of the Empire.

Reiner sat in the study and looked at the letter, couldn't help but smile.

This is a letter from Earl Choral. He told himself that because of his victory in this war, those new resistances were punished to varying degrees.

The Tesca Palace also lost a lot of right to speak, so under the advice of the veteran imperial party, the queen drafted another letter, inviting Earl Jollal to return to the political center of the imperial capital.

Looking at the tone of Earl Cholar's letter to himself, Reiner smiled knowingly.

He is one of the few friends he has in this world. Speaking of which, it is difficult for him to have any friends in a high position.

But Earl Jollal's honesty made Reiner really feel like getting along with friends.

At the same time, Reiner was also faintly worried.

He has already experienced Earl Jorral's second-handed temper in two months. After understanding the reason why Earl Jorral took the responsibility to leave the imperial capital, he became even more defensive towards the imperial capital.

Because according to his speculation, Earl Jollal may have been used by the old imperial party as a weapon to make him stand up to directly confront the emerging imperial party, and even speak rudely to the queen.

What is this not to exploit?

Therefore, the old imperial party, which he still had a good impression of in his heart, was instantly marked as dangerous.

While being vigilant, they were also furious. They had already reached this point. Half of the empire was about to disappear, yet this group of people was still fighting openly and secretly around the little bit of power in the imperial capital.

This is simply short-sighted!

At this time, if you don't unite to face the rebels together, and you still step on me and you step on you to play the game of power, I really don't know where the overall situation of these lords has gone.

When he was thinking about whether to write a letter to Earl Jolar to remind him to beware of the old imperialist party, his hands were not idle.

In addition to Earl Choral, another letter was also delivered to him yesterday.

This is a letter from the imperial capital.

Reiner looked at the coat of arms wax paint on it, and couldn't help becoming vigilant in his heart.

After reading it, Leiner angrily slapped the parchment on the table, feeling very annoyed.

No one else, this letter is from the imperial capital. Judging from the several coats of arms on the letter paper, it is a joint letter sent by the old imperial party.

They saw that Reiner made a lot of money by using Baitang's technology, and they were very envious, and at the same time they were moved.

They hope to get the technology of making white sugar from Leiner, and hand over the business to them at that time, and give Leiner 10% of the share every year.

If that was the case alone, Reiner wouldn't be so annoyed.

The reason for his anger is the attitude of the other party, their condescending look is like the little emperor of Leiner's lord, even Leiner's lord dare not treat him so arrogantly!

What is written on it is to contribute to the royal family, and so on, as if the technology that Reiner handed over the sugar is a gift to him.

What's more, even if it's for the royal family, why should I hand over my technology to you?

Leiner spent a lot of merit points when exchanging machines and technologies. No one's merits were brought by the wind, so why should they be handed over to you?

Not to mention their beating attitude.

This group of old imperial parties is at a high-spirited time. Although the emerging imperial parties have not been driven out, they have lost their right to speak. The current imperial capital is almost one-sided.

Reiner could even imagine what kind of faces those people had when they wrote this letter to him.

I'm afraid they thought that as long as they received this letter, they would immediately be grateful to Dade for packing the sugar technology and sending it to them.

Based on Logan's intelligence collection and Earl Jollal's inference, this group of veteran imperialists is simply a group of arrogant and arrogant people.

The younger imperial party, because they ate and waited to die all day long, many of them were rich and poor, and they only knew how to live with the glory of the Moland family all day long.

The emerging imperial parties are mostly upstarts, many of whom have climbed up little by little, and their abilities are indeed stronger than those of the old imperial parties. However, because of the different education they received since childhood, their vision is generally short-sighted and their overall situation is not good enough. Much weaker.

At the same time, because of their lack of background, they are far inferior to the old imperial party in terms of resources and strength they control.

They gathered in the political center of the imperial capital in the hope of gaining more voice, mastering more resources or owning a larger territory.

But there are only so many territories and rights. If they want more, they have to grab it from the old nobles. In fact, this is the real reason for the disagreement between the two parties.

Objective reasons such as contempt alone cannot make them fight to this point.

Immediately, without any hesitation, Reiner wrote to reject their "proposal".

Although he was angry about this, Reiner's reply was still very tactful. After all, his royal identity cannot be erased, and it would not be good to have a stalemate with them at this time.

However, Reiner reckoned that they would be dissatisfied with him after reading this letter, but he had no choice, anyway, he couldn't possibly hand over such a big piece of cake.

And the next day, what made Reiner feel funny was that the gang of emerging nobles actually wrote a letter to himself.

Although this letter is also related to sugar, it is not as arrogant as the old nobles, and the tone of the letter is very polite.

And they didn't mean to ask Leiner to contribute, they just hoped to let Leiner provide them with some white sugar at a lower price, and then sell it to other places.

However, Reiner also did not agree. The production of white sugar is limited now, even if it is sold directly by itself, the supply is in short supply.

What's more, what Leiner hopes more is that he can use the luxury of sugar to attract more businessmen to do business in the northern border. What he really hopes is to develop the business in the northern border. Reiner's simple selling of sugar is much more effective.

It was April 7th in the fifth year of the empire, and the northern border was still a world of ice and snow, but it seemed that warmth had gradually arrived.

Fortress Bassin was already in full bloom in spring, and even the mud from the melting snow had disappeared. The royal territory tens of kilometers behind the fortress had already begun its annual spring plowing.

Outside the Babsburg Fortress, the rebels who had undergone a winter baptism became lively again. In order to ensure their combat effectiveness, the nobles spent a lot of money. Not only were their salaries doubled, but their food was also very good. The soldiers looked a lot stronger in winter.

As for the most important supplies for the army of this era, there is no shortage of women. If such a large area falls into their hands, how can the soldiers lack women?

With the end of winter, the rebels once again set their sights on the majestic Basin Fortress in front of them.

The long-lost war is about to burn again!
