Chapter 110 Guardian of the North
Faced with Perficott's condition, Duke of Gloucester suddenly felt a turn of events. He said confidently: "Please tell me, no matter what the request is, as long as I can I can promise you whatever I can do.”
“Don’t say too much, Duke, I suggest you listen to my conditions before speaking.”Perfect looked at Gloucester deeply. The Duke then stated his conditions: "First of all, you want me to take over the Northern Territory Development Plan. The title of Earl of Northern Territory Development is not enough. I want to be the Guardian of the Northern Territory. All military and administrative powers in the Northern Territory belong to me. Moderation!
Secondly, I need an army, at least an order of knights and a division of guards, fully manned.
Once the news of the end has spread, the whole world will. When chaos breaks out, even the northern border is no exception! I must have enough military power to suppress any possible rebellion!”
"I can't make the final decision regarding the Guardian of the North. I need to ask Her Majesty the Queen for instructions. However, I promise you that I will use all my connections and resources to promote this matter." The Duke of Gloucester agreed to Purficott's request. It's quite refreshing.
After all, he also knew that it was impossible for Purficott to accept restrictions from others, but the Earl of Pioneer would still be restricted in all aspects.
And the so-called Northern Territory is currently a primitive and uncultivated land. Only when Perficott takes over this task and truly begins to develop and construct the Northern Territory, will this land have a great impact on the empire. Makes sense.
So the title of Guardian of the North is an acceptable condition in the eyes of the Duke of Gloucester.
As for the army that Perficott wanted, the Duke of Gloucester nodded and agreed after thinking about it for a while.
He understood that what Perficott would do next was inseparable from the military, and giving her a strong enough military power was the guarantee for the smooth progress of the northern development plan.
“Apart from these two points, does Earl Brandlis have any other requirements?” The Duke of Gloucester had already changed his title to Perfectcott.
This is both a temptation and a reminder of the responsibility she bears in all this.
"Other requirements..." Purficott hesitated, but soon said firmly: "As for the crisis response committee, they can only cooperate with my work and have no right to interfere with me. I am only responsible to the Queen herself. I will not pay attention to other people's interference and doubts about me.
And if they affect my work, I can use all means I deem necessary to eliminate these interferences and doubts. Impact.”
"This..." The Duke of Gloucester hesitated.
It’s not that he wants to interfere with Purficott, or that he thinks the crisis response committee should override Purficott.
The Duke of Gloucester also clearly knows what kind of insects the Crisis Response Committee and the Noble Council are, and he expects them to have any positive effect unless he kills a chicken every once in a while to scare them. Stop this group of monkeys, otherwise it will have no effect.
In the past, he could reach a consensus on the interests of the nobles through a series of methods such as interest exchange, compromise and concession, but in the face of the doomsday disaster, all this is meaningless.
No one will consider any interests at the moment of life and death. Survival is the greatest interest! Nothing else matters.
So at this moment, in order to survive, these insects will really do anything.
Perficott fully took this into consideration when he asked them not to interfere or hinder him. But use all necessary means to eliminate interference. The meaning behind this sentence is a bit scary.
The Duke of Gloucester knew clearly that as long as this opening was opened, Perficott would directly use the blood of those nobles to warn those who tried to interfere and influence her.
This will provoke a fight between nobles, and if you are not careful, it will lead to irreversible and irreversible consequences.
But the problem is that Purficott has shown great disgust and hatred for those noble insects. Once they really pose an obstacle to her, she will definitely use the simplest and most brutal means to deal with the problem.
And this is what no one wants to see.
"This...I can only say that I will try my best to ensure that the Crisis Response Committee and the Noble Council will not hinder you." The Duke of Gloucester still instinctively does not want Purficott to take drastic measures. He used various methods to persuade her: "As for these insects among the nobles, I understand your hatred of them, but all necessary means are still a bit excessive. Once the blood of the nobles starts to flow, there is no way to turn back.
It will be a disaster for the entire empire, so I can only advise you to think twice before you act. ”
The Duke of Gloucester’s attitude is sincere and sincere, he sincerely hopes. PERFECT Don't take extreme measures to deal with problems.
Faced with these sincere words from the Duke of Gloucester, Purficott closed his eyes and thought for a long time before opening his eyes again and counting: "I can assure you that I will not do anything unless it is absolutely necessary." Use the most extreme means.
But please take care of those guys, don’t cause trouble for me at this time! If it really delays the end of the world, everyone will die by then!”
"I understand, but I still hope that when you take extreme measures, you can communicate with me and avoid the worst situation as much as possible." The Duke of Gloucester was almost pleading with Purficott. , trying his best to make concessions.
Because he knew clearly that only Perfectcott was capable of doing all this work at the moment, and only she really had the means to deal with this doomsday disaster.
So no matter how many compromises and concessions are made, as long as the empire can survive this difficulty, everything will be worth it in the eyes of the Duke of Gloucester.
Faced with the Duke of Gloucester's compromise, Purficott was not unkind. She nodded and agreed to the Duke of Gloucester's request.
Later, she did not forget to ask for something more practical besides these political things.
"Your Majesty, Duke, I hope that after you return to the mainland, you will urge the Royal Shipyard to complete my order as soon as possible and complete the construction of the large airship." Purficott proposed to the Duke of Gloucester Her last request, and said: "The airship will be an important means of transportation between the empire and the north after the ocean freezes, so the more the merrier.
In my order After the large airship arrives, I will return to the empire and hand over the drawings of the larger cruiser-class airship to the naval shipyard. You need to produce as many large airships as possible, the more the better! ”
