Chapter 109 Northern Development Plan
In response to Purfict's question, the Duke of Gloucester just took out another document, a canonization document that made Purfict's eyelids jump.
“Because you still need to preside over this plan, Her Majesty the Queen has specially appointed you as the earl of the Northern Territory.” The Duke of Gloucester said words that made the corners of Perficott’s eyes twitch, and he also looked like He added like a last-ditch attack: "The entire Northern Territory will be managed by you. Everything in the Northern Territory will operate according to your will. The empire will give you maximum support in this matter."
< br>At this point, the Duke of Gloucester paused and seemed to really consider his words, because he knew that what he was going to say next was likely to anger Purficott.
But after thinking about it, he still said to Purficott: "In addition, I sincerely invite you again in my personal name and as the Speaker of the Noble Parliament to join the Crisis Response Committee.
Miss Brandless, your intelligence is an extremely valuable asset to the entire empire. It should play a greater role and make greater contributions to the empire in the face of this disaster. ”
As expected, when the Duke of Gloucester said these words, the expression on Purficott’s face had already become very ugly.
She almost pointed with a finger. He sneered at the Duke of Gloucester with a scolding attitude: "What? Those cadaverous cysticercids finally remembered me after screwing up? Do you think I should just obey them? Say a few nice words and I have to do what they want?
Sorry, there is no such good thing in the world. Let them solve the problems they created by themselves. I will not accept the title of Earl of Northern Development! Anyone can do your northern development plan, there is no need to come to me! "
After finishing speaking, Perficott turned around to leave, but she suddenly remembered that this was her own ship, so she turned back to the Duke of Gloucester and said: "This ship is my personal property. Lord Duke, I won't care if you borrow this time because of our previous friendship, and I won't be unkind and kick you off the ship.
But this ship is of great use to me now, so it can at most take you to the port of the New World colony, so I suggest you contact the New World Fleet of the Imperial Navy now and ask them to send a ship to pick you up. "
After saying that, Purficott was about to leave.
However, Foster suddenly stopped her at this time.
"Grandpa Afu? "Perfect looked at Foster in surprise. She didn't expect that her loyal old housekeeper would stop her.
"Miss, I know I shouldn't say this, but I still want to remind her. Just tell me, the Brandless family has been passed down for twelve generations since the first knight to be canonized by the empire. You are the thirteenth generation of the family and the third generation Baron Brandless. The family has been loyal to the empire and the royal family for generations. While receiving the power and treatment given by the empire, the family has always fulfilled its mission of loyalty to the empire. "Foster didn't say anything more to Purficott, he just mentioned the family's glorious history and the tradition of loyalty from generation to generation.
However, just such a sentence made Purficott fall silent after taking a deep breath.
The Duke of Gloucester on the side did not speak at this time, but looked at Perfectcott with some expectation, waiting for her to make a decision.
Although she is only a teenage girl, the Duke of Gloucester knows that Perfectcott has a very independent and strong character, and her decision cannot be shaken by just a few words.
Instead of saying that there are many mistakes, it is better to wait for Perfectcott to figure it out on his own.
Her face was gloomy, showing no emotion or anger at all, but it could be seen from her shaking shoulders that she was not in a calm mood at the moment.
Given her character, it was absolutely impossible for her to accept the Duke of Gloucester's invitation to join the crisis response committee that belittled and insulted her.
It sounds nice to leave everything in the North to be managed by her, but in fact she just continues to work for these fat-minded cysticercids, and the so-called undivided support is just talk. If the empire could really spare no effort to support her, then what arrived in the north would not be an airship, but the airship fleet she imagined.
So at first glance it seems that the empire is really supporting her and gave her the title of pioneer earl, but in essence she is still just a member of the Crisis Response Committee and the Noble Council. The old guys are just cleaning up the mess.
They are still riding on her head, and they are still able to take credit for all the achievements she has made. They will go back and say "what do women know" and give them all the credit. "Wise leadership", Purficott only made some "insignificant contributions".
Based on his understanding of that group of nobles, Perficott firmly believed that they could do such a thing.
In terms of not being a good person, the nobles of the empire have always been not a good person.
And from the fact that they appointed themselves to be in charge of the so-called Northern Territory Development Plan, it is enough to see that they are really not good people in terms of not being good people. They will use it to their death when they catch it. It is indeed this group of people. The consistent tradition of noble gentlemen.
If things don't go well when you turn around, you can blame them and say that they made a perfect plan and it was all your fault that they didn't do it well.
Perfect was grateful for this, and it was precisely because of this knowledge that she refused the first invitation from the Duke of Gloucester and the second invitation now.
She didn't want to become a footbath for those aristocratic gentlemen, being used by them and thrown away after use.
However, Foster's words made her hesitate.
It’s not that she is really loyal to the so-called empire. Although she does have a very good relationship with Princess Anne, for a time traveler, it is difficult for her to be loyal to an empire where she has no sense of belonging. ...
Rather than for the empire, it is better to say that Purficott is protecting the Brandlis family.
She still has some sense of belonging to this family. After all, her parents were the first people she saw after traveling through time, and they died in front of her to protect her.
Coupled with the fact that Foster had taken good care of her over the years, Purficott did not want to discredit Foster on this matter, or she did not want to disappoint this loyal old man.
And most importantly, if she has the support of the empire, according to Purficott's plan, she can save more people.
After all, she is still kind, and there is no way she can really watch millions of people die like this because of a group of cysticercosis.
But for her to agree to the Duke of Gloucester like this, Purficott couldn't swallow this breath, and he was even less willing to work under the "leadership" of that group of noble gentlemen.
So after she calmed down and thought about it, she turned to the Duke of Gloucester and said, "Your Majesty, you can take over this plan if you want me to, but I have a few requirements..."
