Although the Grand Duke looked eager to give it a try, Catherine couldn't help but feel worried next to him.
After all, during the war that year, the two Grand Duke brothers were like cats playing with mice, being toyed around with one hand.
Thinking of this, she reached out and grabbed the sleeve of Archduke Julius, and asked rather uneasily: "Are you sure you can defeat him?"
Grand Duke Julius laughed, then patted Catherine's hand and said confidently: "I have studied him twice and ten times. Don't worry, I can't defeat your father. If you don't believe me, ask Lorraine?"
Luo Chu couldn't help but feel a little disdainful after hearing this.
The Grand Duke made it clear just now. He only said that he could not be defeated, but he did not say that he would definitely win.
It seems that the Grand Duke was not at ease when facing Amor and Hadu.
‘One general’s success will cause all bones to wither~!’
This sentence is not said in vain.
General Hadou's title of famous general can be circulated on the mainland for two or ten years, making the Ruman Empire a formidable enemy. This title is not called for nothing. It is earned through battle after battle. .
Lorraine knew that unlike Wabador, Grand Duke Julius, Maradona and other famous generals in the world, Amor and Hadou were born commoners.
In this world ruled by the nobles, the son of an ordinary farmer who digs fields and works has no background, and his ancestors have never served as a general city guard."
Second, I have no backing, so I haven't been attracted by the rich widow, or fallen in love with the charming young lady from a high-ranking official's family.
There is no beautiful sister who can be sent to the dragon bed, with the honorary title of the emperor's brother-in-law, and directly passed to the Duke of Lowengram's family, shouting that our journey is to the stars and the sea...
It's basically impossible to get ahead.
Are there such people?
Yes~!
But basically if you don’t wait for the day, everything will be gone.
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Li Zicheng, Hong Xiuquan and so on are all their representative figures.
What?
You said Liu Laobang and Zhu Dachang...er, Zhu Yuanzhang?
Let’s take a look. Which of the two started a family by relying on his wife?
Why is Lao Liu's wife able to control Chao Gang?
Not only during the very healthy activity of killing officials and revolting, the Lu family also made great efforts.
Before the rebellion, he was a wealthy and well-known local man.
And later on, he often used a knife to help the cheap brother-in-law kill people. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to be awarded the title of lord or general when the rewards were based on merit.
As for Lao Zhutou, let alone that. When he started his career, all his soldiers were originally from the Queen's family...
In any aristocratic Hui society with strict hierarchies and complete etiquette, there is no place for mud-legged people.
And the more capable a mud-legged person is, the less room he has for survival.
The guy was happily slapping the people when he jumped in unexpectedly. First of all, everyone had to question his motives and purposes - this guy was so cheerful. Did the guy shaving him before? So cruel, does this guy want revenge?
I remember that when Lorraine was in high school, huddled under the quilt with a small flashlight on, studying "The Lord of the Rings" tirelessly and seriously, she had always been very strange.
As soon as the NPCs there meet, they must first sign up. Who am I, the son of so-and-so, and so-and-so?
Lorraine was still thinking to herself, aren't people who talk like this stupid? If you go out with an ax to kill people, what does it have to do with your father?
After arriving in this world and getting used to seeing all kinds of people and life, Lorraine realized that this was how the noble Hui people had to play.
Usually the two of them don't recognize each other, so when they meet, they naturally report backstage first to see if they can cause trouble or not.
If you can't afford to offend, you'll be beaten, and it won't matter if your brain is turned into a dog's brain. If you can't afford to provoke, just tuck your tail and run away.
For example, when two strangers meet, the person opens his mouth and says, "I am Zhu Chun."
I'm sure the person opposite will laugh out loud. He knows he's a stupid pig, so he just doesn't say it out loud.
But if this person opens his mouth and says, "I am Zhu Chun, my father's courtesy name is Guorui, and his name is Yuanzhang."
The person opposite must quickly kneel down and kowtow.
If it were another person, he would open his mouth and sign up for the number "Father Li Erdan".
I'm just afraid that if this person's name is Li Gang, no one will get rid of him.
To put it simply, in this world, one’s origin determines one’s destiny.
It is difficult for children from common people to integrate into upper class society, because the noble Hui people's deep-rooted hierarchy makes them reject these common people from the bottom of their hearts.
This is an invisible but unbreakable barrier.
For example, when promoting officials, children of the noble Hui family are always given priority. A child of a baron family only needs to work locally for three months. During this period, he can drink, play cards, and molest women...etc.
Then, because of their "rich" grassroots work experience, they will be transferred back to the city to work as officials, and they will be promoted step by step.
A civilian civil servant will often work in the same position for two or ten years. After thirty years, his hair will turn gray and he will not be promoted.
However, even a humble official like this is still a good profession that the scumbags are very envious of.
There are also intermarriages.
No matter what time it is, it is important to have the right person.
In fairy tales, happiness and perfect marriages are all between princes and princesses.
Like Cinderella, although you can reach the sky with one step, it won't take long before you will be poisoned by someone in the complicated political struggle in the harem due to your serious lack of experience and common sense in political struggle, and you will be immersed in a pig cage or something. .
Or else His Highness the Prince found a new Cinderella and pursued his happiness.
As for what to say, it is basically impossible for commoners to marry a young lady from a noble family.
Only some wealthy businessmen can marry the daughters of poor Hui families. Such poor noble Hui families are looked down upon by others among the noble Hui people.
Even if a daughter from a commoner family grows up to be a great influence in the country and is well-educated and well-educated, she can only serve as a mistress or concubine.
Even if the relationship is very good, she cannot achieve the status of a head wife.
To use an old saying, it means that the wormwood did not grow on the ancestral graves.
These are the rules of this world, and even Lorraine is inevitably influenced by the rules of this world.
However, as a farmer's son, Hadou ascended to a position that could be called the earth-splitting king.
Even in the history of Salis, which has been glorious for five thousand years and has countless names, there are only a few heroic figures who, as sharecroppers, ended up being isolated and isolated. They can be counted on one hand.
This also includes those who marry a good wife and save thirty years of hard work.
From this aspect, we can see that Amol and Hadou are powerful. This is a character who will definitely be written down in the history books and respected by future generations.
If a commoner wants to change his status, there are probably only three ways.
First, if you are extremely talented and can become a mage or an official officiating priest, you can basically reach the sky in one step and become a noble Hui clan.
One is to be admitted to Maple Leaf Danlin, and after graduation, enter the Imperial Government, or become attached to a certain noble clan, but the official career is difficult and full of obstacles.
Another one, which is the least technical one and anyone can give it a try, is to become a soldier.
Carrying a blade and putting his head in his waistband, he fought on the battlefield.
If you're not lucky, you might die somewhere unknown to anyone. If you're lucky, you might retire with all your beards and tails intact.
If you have great skills and lots of luck, just like Hadou, you can go from soldier to commander, squad leader, or squadron...
Climb all the way up.
This also requires wisdom and skill. Those who are not smart enough will have been killed by black arrows long ago.
And Hadu climbed up step by step like this, which shows how powerful Hadu is.
Even Archduke Julius, a man with eyes on the top of his head, would praise Hadou as "the hero of the world."
Fighting against such a spirited person would make anyone feel unsure.
Lorraine asked himself, if he and Hadou were to fight with equal strength and equal conditions, Lorraine also felt uncertain. The outcome was between two sides.
If he really wants to deal with this guy, Lorraine will use war fortresses, battleships, artillery, magicians, and heavy armored infantry to attack the opponent with superior equipment and firepower.
It may not be possible to win, but at least it will be in an invincible position. It is better than the firepower delivery ability of Amei's menstruation, and it is helpless to defeat the volunteers who are defending the tunnel.
But having said that, Lorraine also has full confidence. When General Hardou confronts him, he has to weigh it carefully and make a decision before taking action.
Seeing that Archduke Julius was such a bachelor, he admitted with great frankness that he could only guarantee undefeated against Hardou. As for whether he could win, it all depended on his performance on the spot. Lorraine couldn't help but sigh quietly.
In another time and space, Lorraine might have admired this hero.
But now, from his own standpoint, Lorraine just wants to deal with this Superman.
As a close friend, Catherine could of course understand what Archduke Julius meant. She didn’t care whether he was a famous general or not. She slapped the table and scolded: "If you ask me, why bother? Send a shadow team from a venture capital company. , if you kill him with one shot, it will be over."
Grand Duke Julius shook his head, rejected his daughter's opinion, and said: "And then let him die heroically and become an invincible myth?
How many years later, once people mentioned it, the victorious General Hadou did not die on the battlefield, but died of a despicable assassination by the Ruman people?
How should the world look at us? That we don’t even have the courage to take revenge.”
Catherine couldn't help but hesitate.
Grand Duke Julius then continued: "Only by completely defeating Hadou on the battlefield, our Ruman Empire can say that we are invincible. Only then can our enemies be convinced and not dare to betray their hearts.
and………………
And assassination is a double-edged sword~!
Under normal circumstances, any politician will avoid using it as much as possible. You can assassinate others, and others can assassinate you. Few people can avoid the dagger thrown from the dark."
The chill in those words made everyone shiver. It was as if there really was a dagger waiting to be thrown out in the darkness.
Everyone fell silent.
Catherine also remembered the murder operation against Lorraine. If Xiaobai hadn't been clever at that time, he took the man's explosive crystal and threw it out. Lorraine would have been blown to pieces long ago, and she herself would have been blown to pieces. It can only be covered with a black veil all day long.
Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, Lorraine immediately smiled and said to Catherine: "The Grand Duke is right. This assassination should be avoided as much as possible.
Even if they don't assassinate you, but tear all the clothes in your closet..."
Catherine was immediately furious. She slapped the table, her eyes widened, and said, "Dare~! Who dares? I'll kill him~!"
Seeing her delicate body shaking and losing her domineering aura, everyone present was silent.
Catherine immediately realized her gaffe, couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, then bit her lip gently, gave Archduke Julius a white look, and muttered: "A lot of nonsense..."
Lorraine patted Catherine's little hand and understood in her heart: This is related to the face of Julius and Rudelun, they will not even allow others to defeat Amor and Hadou, only these two brothers can do it.
Catherine had no choice but to compromise. She waved her hands and said, "Okay, I don't care, but I have to follow the whole war."
Grand Duke Julius was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "What are you going to do? The battlefield is in a mess, and there are also a lot of smelly gentlemen."
Catherine said firmly: "I don't care about that. I just want to check on you and prevent you from doing anything messy when your whim gets the better of you."
Grand Duke Julius looked at Lorraine for help, and gestured with his mouth to give Lorraine a few words of advice.
What he didn't see was that under the table, Catherine's little foot was already stepping on Lorraine's instep and was gradually exerting force.
Lorraine could only giggle at this time, and Grand Duke Julius rolled his eyes at Lorraine in anger.
Grand Duke Julius drank the tea in one breath and stood up, saying: "This news will be kept secret for the time being. I still need some arrangements. I don't want to scare away that old fox with a keen sense of smell."
"Not only is it a secret," Lorraine raised her chin and saw that she was risking something bad again, she said, "We can also put out some smoke screens to lower Hadou's vigilance."
Grand Duke Julius chuckled and said: "Leave it to you, just make Hadou think that we will not interfere with them."
As he spoke, Archduke Julius turned and asked the attendant behind him, "Leona?"
The old housekeeper bowed behind him and said: "My young master went out early in the morning with Miss Vera and Miss Melina."
"What? This kid ran out to play as soon as he came back. He didn't even know he came to see his father." Julius curled his lips and muttered dissatisfiedly.
Then he waved to Lorraine and said, "Come on, you two, come with me to the meeting."
"Meeting?" Lorraine and Catherine looked at each other.
"Well, I won't go, hehe, hehe..." Catherine covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I haven't been back for a long time. Adele and the others made an appointment with me to go back to the blood-washing boutique store today."
Archduke Julius twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking of the bills he had received, and he still felt a little frightened.
Then he glanced sympathetically at Lorraine next to him, patted his chest, looked thankful, and thought to himself: Now I finally don’t need to spend any more money.
With a gentle expression on her face, Lorraine said to Catherine: "Is the money enough? Do you want to give you the checkbook?"
Catherine smiled coquettishly at Lorraine and said, "No need to trouble you, I already pretended last night."
“…”
Grand Duke Julius piled his shoulders on Lorraine and said: "Let's go, silly boy, you understand my mood at that time.
Raising a daughter is very expensive. I only asked you for such a small betrothal gift, but now I think about it, it will be a huge loss...
Lorraine glared at Archduke Julius, thinking to himself, you allocate land, money, and equipment from me, all of which cost me three million, and you still have a little, and you get an advantage and you behave well. Leo is obviously following your example. of.
Even the old-fashioned butler next to him couldn't stand it. He knew that he still owed his uncle a lot of money. The butler coughed, bowed and urged Duke Julius, and said: "Your Highness, they Already waiting in the conference room."
Archduke Julius laughed, turned around and walked away quickly.
Adele, Lorena, Deipole, Adeline, Fiona, Claudia, all of them are good, each one is dressed in a beautiful dress, so charming that Lorraine's eyes are dazzled by the sight.
Although it is very hard to earn money to support these beautiful girlfriends, but seeing their happy faces, as a man, the hard work is worth it, Lorraine sighed in her heart.
For the sake of my wife and children, whether it’s Kalimdor, Beatrice, Amol or Hadu, I’ll die~!
Catherine picked up the hem of her skirt and trotted over to meet them. She did not forget to wave to Lorraine and said, "You don't have to wait for us to have dinner tonight."
"Night...night~!" Lorraine couldn't help but blurt out - these women were really fighting for their money, but when they looked up again, they found that they were already far away.
In the end, Lord Luo could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
The Grand Duke's office and conference room were in the front yard of the Grand Duke's palace. When Lorraine followed the Grand Duke and walked into the conference room, the place was already full of people.
On the left are government officials in formal uniforms, and on the right are generals in military uniforms.
Dozens of people were sitting like primary school students, sitting neatly, with their backs straight, their hands on their knees, looking at their noses, mouths, mouths, and hearts, without squinting and remaining silent.
The clothes are neat, spotlessly clean, and even the hair is combed to perfection.
Lorraine was instantly shocked by this atmosphere.
My cheap father-in-law is now 13 years old.
What is aura?
What is the aura of overlord?
That’s it!
When the timid person saw this momentum, he bowed his head and bowed.
"Compared to my conference room in Nai'an, it was like a stock exchange."
"Temple." Such a word suddenly popped into Lorraine's mind.
The governors of the ten eastern provinces were under the control of the Grand Duke, and all military and administrative orders came from this.
Here Grand Duke Julius ruled over 25 million people and commanded 1 million armed forces including regular troops and militia.
The attendant sang "Nai" and raised his voice: "Your Highness has arrived."
"Coax..." There was a sound of chairs being pushed away, and people on both sides of the conference table stood up at the same time.
The Grand Duke waved his hand and said casually: "Sit."
These people made another clatter and sat down, as if they had been trained.
The Grand Duke pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Lorraine, sit down too." "Ah? Oh." Lorraine laughed dryly, pulled out the chair and sat next to the Grand Duke.
The Grand Duke did not speak, but just waved his hand. The person sitting first on the left, who should be the leader of the political affairs officers, coughed, picked up a pile of documents in his hand, and prepared to ask the Grand Duke for instructions.
Lorraine found that the style of the Grand Duke's men was very special. To put it simply, it was concise and efficient. (To be continued.
