108. Chapter 108 The Duke


Chapter 108 Your Majesty the Duke

When Perficott built the airship, he did not make it too big. After all, it was only prepared for her own escape. Only herself and Fu were prepared on the ship. There is no need to build too big a building in the location of St.

But even so, Purficott arranged a comfortable bedroom, or single cabin, for himself in the cabin below the upper deck.

But now, there is someone else living in this single cabin, someone she did not expect and should not be here.

"Your Majesty the Duke of Gloucester, I didn't expect that you would come to the North in person. This is simply..." Looking at the Speaker of the Noble Council in front of him, Perfectcott was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to do. Evaluate the other person’s behavior.

He is the speaker of the Parliament of Nobles, equivalent to the prime ministers of those constitutional monarchy countries in the world before Perficott traveled through time.

For such an important figure as the head of a country to travel to the north with such ease and risk, it really exceeded Purficott's expectations.

At the same time, it also gave her a bad association, and she asked with an ugly face: "Did something happen in the local area?"

"No, on the contrary, everything is normal in the local area, and because The progress you have made in the 'Arctic Scientific Expedition' project has been discussed enthusiastically by the people of Langton. The related industries and economy have been stimulated and have achieved certain development." The Duke of Gloucester shook his head slightly and said to me. Purficott described the changes in Langton over the past few months.

Hearing what the Duke of Gloucester said, Purficott couldn't help but frowned: "What happened that made the Speaker of the Noble Council come to the North in person? I can't think of anything. What is important enough for you to go there personally? ”

"It's about that matter." Duke of Gloucester said, and then glanced at Foster, who had been standing behind Perfectcourt.

"Grandpa Alfred is my most trusted butler. He knows everything, and I also need his experience and wisdom." Purficott understood what the Duke of Gloucester meant, but she still left her words Get off Foster.

Seeing this, the Duke of Gloucester didn't say much. He just nodded and then said: "Miss Brandless, I want to know how many plans you have for dealing with the doomsday disaster. How much progress has been made?”

“Which aspect are you referring to?” Purficott seemed to understand after hearing Duke Gloucester’s question, but he didn’t point it out directly. He asked him in return: "As for execution, I can only say that everything is going well so far. I can build the forward base before winter this year, as long as there are no irresistible surprises.

As for the rest, at present There are still some technical problems that have not been solved, but this is not a problem. I am confident enough to solve all these before the end, but I am not sure whether I can cope with the end.

In other words, none of us will be absolutely sure about this matter before the end of the world actually comes. So what exactly do you want to know? "

After listening to Purficott's words, the Duke of Gloucester was silent for a moment before speaking: "The crisis response committee established by the empire to deal with this disaster has not come up with a practical plan until now. , Her Majesty the Queen was very disappointed with this and lost her temper at the royal meeting. "

"Oh? Can I say that I deserve it? Finally, someone has dealt with this group of old grandfathers who have nothing to do with their corpses? "When Perficott heard the news, he immediately made sarcastic remarks.

The Duke of Gloucester also understood Perficott's resentment. He did not explain anything, but just sighed and said: " This matter would be easier to solve without the progress you have made as a comparison.

But precisely because of the progress made by Miss Brandless, the Crisis Response Committee behaved like a bunch of clowns.

Her Majesty the Queen is very dissatisfied with this and orders us to come up with a practical plan before winter and take action. The empire's precious time cannot be wasted like this. "Having said this, the Duke of Gloucester sighed again, and at the same time he was also dissatisfied with the nobles who were lying on their backs.

If they hadn't run away with Perfectcott in anger, now The talented girl should stay in Longton and advise the crisis response committee, rather than become a stark contrast to their incompetence and have the Queen whip them.

"So? "Perfect noticed the Duke of Gloucester's mood and asked with a bit of a sneer: "So, Your Excellency, you are making a trip in person because you want me to give you some advice? ”

Although Purficott was dissatisfied with the nobles of the empire, he had no real intention to watch them continue to be incompetent and do nothing to save the tens of millions of people in the empire.

If the Duke of Gloucester is willing to ask for help, Purficott can't give him an idea.

However, the Duke of Gloucester shook his head and denied: "Don't underestimate the nobles of the empire. Although they often hold each other back due to interests, they really need to work. They can still do a good job."

"So you have a plan?" Purficott was not surprised by this. After all, she also knew what the virtues of the imperial nobles were.

Incompetent is indeed incompetent, but when someone can really force them to work, they can indeed come up with something.

Usually, the character who forces them to work is the speaker of the Parliament of Nobles, the Duke of Gloucester.

The Duke of Gloucester has always performed very well on this matter in the past, but it was just the Crisis Response Committee's wrangling and botching that still made the Queen express dissatisfaction with him, and further vented this dissatisfaction on the Crisis Response Committee.

Perfect did not know that because of the progress she had made in the north, three nobles on the crisis response committee had been punished by the queen, and one of them was even deprived of his title.

But no matter what, the crisis response committee came up with a plan to deal with the disaster.

"Yes, we have a plan. With reference to everything you have done in the north, they have made modifications to your plan and proposed a plan to develop the north." The Duke of Gloucester told Purfe Kurt explained, while also picking up a document from the table nearby and handing it to her.

Perfect quickly read through it. This plan can be said to be similar to the plan she is currently executing.

It is nothing more than using the expansion of the northern border as an excuse to send people from the empire to build immigration settlements in the north, and then expand these settlements into shelters when the weather gets cold to shelter people who have migrated from the mainland.

“This is a fairly feasible plan, but what does it have to do with your coming to the north, Your Majesty the Duke?” Purficott was still puzzled. What does this plan have to do with the Duke of Gloucester’s secret visit? relation.
