Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

When the dreamy mushroom cloud appeared over the holy city of Bethlehem, the city of Idar also experienced the first snow in winter.

Of course, this is also the first snow since the birth of the Idar Empire.

The Almis Mountains are covered with a layer of silver, and the white snow covers the frozen Idar River. The snowflakes are like fluffy goose feathers, and they are spread extremely flat, making people want to step on them. .

Withered yellow leaves were scattered on the ground, and the trees planted on the roadside had long become bare, with scattered ice crystals still on the dry branches.

The newly built Idar Palace has undoubtedly become the largest building in the entire city of Idar. A layer of mist seems to be floating around the palace. Only the griffin flag symbolizing the Stuart family is eye-catching. It can be seen clearly even from a distance.

When the morning light finally shines through the clouds and reflects on the flawless white snow, the sheen reflected by the white snow makes the surrounding environment look particularly bright.

"clang"

This is the bell from the bell tower located in the southeast corner of the palace.

Every plant and tree in the palace is a work of art created by the great engineers of Idar with their own efforts.

On the top of the bell tower, a gilt griffin statue forged from mithril slowly rotates driven by gears every moment.

There is a clock in each of the four directions of the square tower. Coupled with the ingenious use of magic machinery, this allows you to clearly see the crystal dial at the top of the clock tower no matter which direction you look from.

The Idar Palace Garden, located in the center of the palace, is one of the highlights of the entire complex.

Except for the central garden located behind Buckingham Palace, which looks square, symmetrical and neat, the Palace Garden almost runs through the entire palace complex.

There are flower garden fountains and lake boats. The garden paths have been cleaned by the palace attendants, and there are also cute and cute snowmen piled in many corners.

Due to the special magic circle set up at the bottom of the lake, Lake Jeffrey on the northwest side of the palace has not yet frozen.

As Leya threw the bait she was holding into the sparkling lake water, koi fish jumped out of the water one after another. The colorful colors were dyed with the deep lake water, causing fierce ripples.

In a small pavilion near the lake, Bruno sat opposite Old Ford, who had just become the dean of the Government Affairs Council.

Although the Idar airship formation led by Air Force Major General Rolf Hawthorne has not returned yet, General Rolf has already passed the news of their abundant gains to the Idar mainland through the long-distance communication device on the airship in advance.

so……

Looking at the battle report that just came in his hand, Bruno couldn't help but smile heartily: "The news just sent by Krell is that this air strike was a great success, and the Idar Air Force has become famous in one battle."

With that said, he handed the battle report in his hand to the expectant old Ford.

"Okay! Great!"

Even the dean of the Government Affairs Council, who had always shown himself to be calm and composed, couldn't help but applaud the moment he read the battle report.

Although Ford is already old, he has never been a conservative, pedantic and stubborn person.

From the work point system to serf reform, from magic industry to economic development...

Even though there were times when Old Ford felt that he could not figure out Bruno's intentions, his loyalty to the Stuart family made this old man who abided by his duties provide indispensable assistance to Bruno's series of reforms.

After a moment of joy, Old Ford calmed down and said in a deep voice: "The victory of the Air Force is gratifying, but... Your Majesty, since the church has suffered such heavy losses, then our troops stationed on the border may not be able to do so from now on. Everyone should be alert."

To know,

Although Old Ford was only the dean of the Government Council, taking charge of the internal affairs of the new empire under the instruction of Emperor Bruno Stuart, he was also quite familiar with military affairs.

When Ford was young, he followed Bruno's father on the battlefield!

And even though he has already taken off his military uniform, there is no doubt that... Old Ford's current position in the Stuart family was all achieved in the flames of war and the shadow of swords!

"I will instruct Sarah Colen to do it, and I will also ask the CIA to be more careful during this period." Bruno nodded solemnly.

Before this, although the Principality of Idar had suffered defeat from the Church of Light many times, after all, the territories of the two sides were not adjacent at that time, and the Church of Light was also powerless.

Moreover, the Church of Light at that time was busy dealing with Rez and could not spare any extra time and energy to have candid exchanges with the Idar people.

Therefore, even if the church suffered a small loss at that time, it could only endure it. At most, it would send a few Crusaders to carry out assassinations and give a few heads to the Idar agents to show off their military exploits.

But……

The situation now has become completely different!

Not to mention anything else, the losses caused by the Idar Air Force to the Church of Light alone were enough to seduce the Crusaders and the Idar Army into a head-on confrontation!

The Colossus, the Inquisition, St. George's Basilica...

According to the consistent behavior of the Church of Light, Bruno did not believe that those magicians could endure such humiliation and provocation from Idar's army.

Even if the red archbishop can bear it, the church's scumbags can't.

Even if the church’s bastards really endure it, the believers of the Church of Light can’t endure it either!

During this time, the crazy selling of indulgences has caused many believers to betray the church.

If the church failed to show a tough attitude at this time, Bruno would immediately ask CIA agents to fan the flames and detonate a wave of opposition to indulgences in the interior of the empire.

To know,

Although "Idar Daily" is only published in Idar, the caravans traveling to and from this land will carry these newspapers to all parts of the mainland.

nowadays,

The surrounding areas of the Idar Empire,

Especially in the Sogn Plains and the aristocratic territories along the Moore River, the Protestant ideological trend has caused many believers of the Light Church to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!

so……

Whether it is to restore the dignity of the church or to establish the image of the Crusaders as invincible, even if the church's top leaders do not want to face the Idar army directly, they cannot remain indifferent to the Idar air strikes!

In fact, Bruno hoped that the Church of Light would take the initiative to attack.

Because the Idar people have long fortified the walls and cleared the country near the border. If the church takes the initiative to attack, the minefields laid by the Idar army near the border alone will be enough to give the Crusaders a drink!

"After all, the number of mechanized troops is too small. Otherwise, there is no need to wait for the church to take the initiative to attack." Bruno sighed.

"But no matter how small it is, the Idar Empire is the only country on the continent that has mechanized troops! And... you have also seen Marshal Teodoro's reaction at that time. With the current strength of the Idar army, the defense of the family The country is absolutely out of the question!"

Old Ford paused, and then said confidently: "Even if we push all the way to the outside of Bethlehem, it probably won't be difficult! After all... the gap between steel and flesh is not something that can be bridged so easily. "

actually……

As the dean of the Government Affairs Council, Old Ford could not quite understand Bruno's caution.

In his opinion, Idar's army is now at the pinnacle of the continent!

From the "Explorer" A-type armored infantry vehicle to the "Sword of Dawn" heavy main battle tank, the application of magic industrialization has brought too many changes to the Idar army.

Take the Kingdom of Cecil as an example. If the Idar people had not provided this country located in the west of the continent with the opportunity to conduct arms trading and allowed Cecil soldiers to obtain a batch of second-hand weapons, I am afraid they would still be using daggers as weapons. The dominant cold weapon era...

As for what Bruno said about too few mechanized troops...

Today, the Principality of Idar has more than forty "Sword of Dawn" main battle tanks and nearly two hundred light armored infantry vehicles!

Plus the rest of the jeeps, trucks...

The number of magic vehicles installed in Idar's army is approaching the five hundred mark!

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of Idar's army!

The soldiers of Idar's army are also equipped with countless magic rifles, equipped with a large number of magic crystal bombs, and have movable self-propelled artillery modified from magic cannons.

Therefore, Old Ford really couldn't understand why his Majesty always felt that the Idar army had too few weapons.

"This is probably a phobia of insufficient firepower..."

After hearing Old Ford's question, Bruno couldn't help but smile to himself and explained calmly: "In my opinion, only when the amount of arms stored by Idar's army is enough to bomb the entire land controlled by the Church of Light, Only then can we have sufficient firepower.”

Hearing this, Old Ford couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.

"In short, all the troops deployed on the Idar border must be on high alert, not just the Valens Plains and Stranglethorn Valley Customs. If the church really takes action, I'm worried that they will send troops from the Augure Desert to capture the areas that originally belonged to Basel. Kingdom land.”

"Desert?" Old Ford was stunned: "Your Majesty, are you worried about the undead army mentioned by Bishop Olsson?"

"To say they are immortal is to flatter those magicians. I want to see how they can withstand several rounds of artillery bombardment!" Bruno said in a deep voice while looking at the slowly falling snowflakes in the sky.

Just as he was talking, Leya had already walked into the small pavilion with a group of attendants.

Old Ford stood up quickly to greet him.

Bruno skillfully grabbed Leia's little hand, pulled her to the seat, and said to Old Ford: "Let's have a casual meal together, and by the way, I want to talk to you about the construction of a new wonder."

Hearing this, Old Ford, who originally wanted to refuse, was suddenly startled. The word "spectacle" lingered in his ears over and over again like a curse.

"Your Majesty, do you want to build a wonder?"

Old Ford actually didn't object to the construction of the spectacle. After all, it was considered a public project and would be of great benefit to the resettlement of refugees.

But the problem is...

In recent times, the construction of wonders has been a bit too frequent.

For the sake of the empire's independence, the vast Idar Palace is being built in a hurry. Although it is also a SSSSS level wonder, the construction period is obviously much shorter than that of the Idar Public University.

And besides that,

The parliament building in Idar has just been completed, and the Arc de Triomphe in the province of Basel is still under construction...

Old Ford didn't know the significance of these wonders, so he naturally had objections to it.

after all……

The annual financial expenditures of the Government Affairs Council are limited!

Although considering that His Majesty has an inexplicable hobby for wonders, the Idar Government Affairs Office has set up funds specifically for the construction of wonders since the days of the Government Affairs Office. However, the facts of the past few years have proven to Old Ford... Overspending is the only way to It's the norm!

"Your Majesty, the spectacle is ruining the country!" Old Ford pleaded with a sad face.

"This will create a spectacle for your Government Affairs Council, are you sure you don't want it?" Bruno glanced at Old Ford and said calmly.

"Huh? Made for us?"

"nature."

As he spoke, Bruno took out several drawings from the attendants on the side and introduced them one by one: "Hamburg City Hall, Antwerp City Hall, Amsterdam City Hall, Stockholm City Hall..."

Most of the drawings displayed in front of Bruno were well-known municipal buildings from various European countries in the past century. UU Reading www.uukanshu. net Although it is certainly far inferior to the Idar Palace in scale, it is still one of the best wonders of the building.

"Although the Government Affairs Offices of each province have been established, most of their offices are huddled in the previously occupied noble castles. This is obviously not in line with the governing philosophy of the Idar Government Affairs Office and is not suitable for the future administration of the empire."

"If that's the case..." Old Ford stared closely at the drawings placed on the table by Bruno, and said with some embarrassment: "Your decisions are always so wise..."

銆愯铌湡攛屾渶杩戜竴鐩ancun椤鍜霜阒呰鍤湅涔﹁毴洴鎹㈡簮鍒囨崲锛屾湕璇wedding煶鑹insert pan纴瀹夊崜鑻gui牉鍧囧彽umbrella

The office of the Idar Government Affairs Office is located in the southeast corner of the palace, but in contrast, the offices of the provincial government affairs offices have no sign at all.

The province of Basel is considered good. The Kingdom of Basel is directly set up as the seat of the Government Affairs Office, but the other provinces are much shabby.

so……

When Bruno proposed this plan, Old Ford had already realized that he simply could not refuse the spectacle construction plan proposed by the young Majesty.

"Okay, this is a wonder to be built for the provincial government affairs offices. Let's build these wonders first, and we can talk about the governor's mansions of several special zones later."

Bruno's words just made Old Ford breathe a sigh of relief, but his next words made Old Ford's heart rise to his throat again.

"So... now that we have finished talking about the wonders to be built for the Government Affairs Office, let's talk about other wonder construction plans." Bruno said on a whim.

Old Ford asked with a confused look on his face: "What else???"

"It's natural!"

Bruno nodded matter-of-factly.
