The battleship carrying Lorraine's group of people slowly sailed out of the fleet and slowly approached the dock.
The cable was thrown from the bow of the ship. The people at the port hurriedly picked up the cable and tied it to the stone pillar. The battleship shook slightly and stopped in front of everyone.
The sailors lowered the gangway, and the captain came to Lorraine and the others, stretched out his hand and beat his chest, saluted gracefully, and then said: "Your Highness, sir, you can go ashore."
Lorraine squinted her eyes against the dazzling sunlight and carefully looked at the people on the shore. She sighed in her heart and thought to herself: From today on, everything here is my territory.
Catherine pushed Lorraine from behind and said, "Let's go~!"
Lorraine took a deep breath, then smiled and said, "Let's go and deal with them."
Leo pushed the big toad mirror on his nose beside him, and then stretched out his hand to wipe it until it was shiny. He looked very Shanghai-like and had a strong back. He stretched out his hand and waved his fat little hand boldly,
Said: "Yes, deal with them. Take all their money~!"
At this time, after hearing the order, the Royal Guards got off the ship first.
These arrogant warriors quickly formed a siege next to the battleship, blocking the people on the port from rushing forward and creating an open space in front of the battleship.
Lord Lorraine is now the governor-general of a province. Although the official propaganda states that Lord Lorraine has always been approachable and affable. But if you don't show off, how do you know that Lord Lorraine is affable?
Lorraine waited until the people below were ready, then stood up and walked to the gangway with Leo.
Although the officials below were already impatient with waiting, they did not dare to make a sound or even show their dissatisfied expressions on their faces.
Everyone waited eagerly for a long time. At this time, they saw a young man with black hair and black eyes, with an insurance salesman's smile on his face, getting off the boat calmly. At that moment, he clutched his wallet tightly like a conditioned reflex.
But then he came to his senses. This young man was probably the pretty-faced governor, right?
Everyone at the port immediately waved bouquets of flowers and cheered, and the cheers were like a tide, one wave after another, reaching into the sky.
Lorraine looked at the noisy crowd below and took a deep breath of the fresh air of the port. She was so proud and intoxicated with herself here that she thought to herself: No wonder Xiao Xige held many military parades and parades when he was the boss.
This kind of activity, this feeling is really good.
Leo curled his lips next to him, then pulled Lorraine, and whispered: "Stop pulling, boss, they shouted until their faces turned green. I suspect that if you don't go on, some of them will die from exhaustion."
No."
Lorraine paused for a moment.
Catherine and Adele sneered softly behind him.
Catherine had always disliked this kind of welcome party that was full of official language and formalities, so she only asked Lorraine and Leo to deal with them, while the four girls hid on the boat and would go directly after the crowd dispersed a little later.
Governor's Palace.
Lorraine imitated the way the President of the United States got off Air Force One, waved to the people below, and then walked down the gangway.
Leo followed behind, pushing up the big sunglasses on his face, then raising his hands high and waving vigorously downwards.
I saw a chubby little boy appear in my sight. Although he had big sunglasses on his face and a thick gold necklace around his neck, his white and tender arms showed something like tattoos. At first glance, he looked unusual.
It's fierce, but if you look carefully, you'll find that the pictures on it are actually Crayon Shin-chan and Astro Boy.
The appearance looked extremely funny. But when everyone thought about it with their toes, they knew in an instant that this person was the hope of the future of the empire. He represented that the empire would continue to forge ahead on the road of continuous victory and create another world.
A great victorious young prince,
When all the officials from Nidel saw the appearance of this old man, they immediately knew that as long as they took good care of him, they would be rewarded with promotions, promotions and fortunes. Seeing Leo at the moment was like seeing the God of Wealth.
Likewise, a look of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly at the top of his lungs.
"Welcome, Your Highness."
"Long live the Empire."
"Long live, long live~!"
"..."
Hearing the enthusiastic cheers, Leo said "Hmm" with great satisfaction and jumped down the gangway in two steps.
The Naian Sheng officials waiting in front of the gangway consciously quickly stood up according to their status, bent down to salute Lorraine and Leo, and said loudly: "Welcome to Your Highness and the Governor."
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, looked around, and finally determined something that was very disappointing to him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said to himself: "Oh~! Why doesn't a loli come to offer flowers or something?
That’s it. Really, it’s out of style at all~!
Lorraine looked at the row of lowered heads in front of him, nodded slightly, and said, "My lords, please excuse me."
An official at the front straightened up and said: "Your Majesty, Angus, Nai'an Political Assistant, on behalf of all my colleagues in Nai'an Province, I would like to welcome the Governor-General to his new post. We are all familiar with the glorious deeds of the Governor-General.
, I believe that under the leadership of the Governor, our Nai An Province will be more prosperous."
Lorraine nodded to him and said, "Thank you, sir, for your hard work."
The next one is a veteran in military uniform, with a dark face and gray hair, standing straight in the ranks of Nai'an officials.
Seeing Lorraine approaching, the veteran bent down and said in a loud voice: "My Majesty, Commander Larry of the Nai'an Army, on behalf of all the garrison in Nai'an Province, obeys the leadership of your Excellency, and welcomes the Governor-General to take office."
Lorraine also nodded to him and said, "Thank you, General."
General Larry saluted directly and replied: "It's not hard."
Lorraine was stunned for a moment. He was just being polite. He didn't expect that the general was a real person, so he just replied.
He thought for a moment, then solemnly raised his hand and saluted the general.
A look of astonishment flashed across General Larry's eyes, and the contempt for Lorraine in his heart suddenly lightened a lot with the standard military salute. Then he stepped aside.
At this time, other officials also stepped forward one after another.
"My Majesty, Magistrate Nai'an..."
"The Agricultural Officer of Ba Nai An..."
"The Public Works Officer of Bainai An Province..."
"My Majesty, the Lord of Pedri City..."
Before coming, Catherine had already taught Lorraine a lesson and supplemented the official positions and rights of these local governments. Catherine collected a lot of information about Nai'an Province and discussed it with Lorraine.
There are more than forty provincial officials lined up here. Lorraine not only has to remember them, but also corresponds to the news he already knows, which consumes the energy of the boss Lorraine.
Leo followed Lorraine and became addicted to leadership. These officials did not dare to take this young man lightly, and they also tried their best to flatter and flatter him.
Tax collector Gretan walked to Lorraine and said: "Your Highness, Lord Governor, please come with me."
On the outside of the port, a large pavilion has been erected. The garrison in Nai'an surrounded the pavilion from three sides, blocking out the people who came to watch the excitement.
Lorraine and Leo immediately walked into the pavilion, followed by a group of officials from Naian Province. They were welcomed by people holding flowers on both sides.
Catherine and Adele watched Lorraine and his subordinates chatting with each other from the battleship. They waited until everyone left the battleship and then stuck out their tongues and said, "What a grand occasion. I didn't expect Lorraine."
This makes him a big shot."
"There are three million people in Nai'an anyway. To put it exaggeratedly, the life and death of these people are controlled by Lorraine. Such a big scene can be considered commensurate."
Another group of Royal Guards got off the other boats and quickly prepared the carriage. Only then did Catherine and Adele get off the boat and go to the Governor's Palace first.
Lorraine and Leo sat on the main seat in the middle, with the officials below surrounding them like stars over the moon.
The chief civil servant of Nai An Province, Political Assistant Angus took the manuscript to the front of the podium, cleared his throat and began to give a welcome speech.
Lorraine had been smiling since she got off the boat, but all the officials in Nai'an Province were worried.
The reputation of this Uncle Lorraine is not very good. The title "Friend of Pluto" belongs to the elite, and it is soaked with the blood and tears of many nobles. After all the troubles in Freetown City, all the governors in the world were also unlucky. I don't think this man has become evil.
, how terrible it would be.
Especially behind them is the number one female governor in the world, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, whose family is or will be the emperor. If you can offend Lorraine, you cannot afford to offend this Her Highness.
Angus, who was on the stage, had not read a few words before he looked up at the Governor in front of him. As long as the Governor showed a little impatience, he would end the welcome meeting quickly.
The eyes of the officials below did not leave Lorraine. They just looked at Lord Lorraine and looked at him like an old man. In fact, nothing could be seen from his expression.
No one knows that Lord Lorraine was actually doing a certain exercise too intensely last night, and now he is just seizing the time to take a rest.
At this moment, I couldn't help but become more cautious: I originally thought that this old man was not very old and his cultivation would not be that deep. But now it seems that none of the big shots who can climb up are simple.
Angus's article was full of flowers and full of joy. Lorraine felt quite good after hearing it. Others couldn't tell. Leo and Lorraine had been together for a long time, so he could tell that Lorraine was in a good mood now.
Leo Qi said: "Huh? Is this guy very lovable?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "Don't you think his speech is very good? Revise it and it can be used in any situation. These are the official elixirs."
Leo rolled his black eyes, then looked at the document in Angus' hand strangely, and said casually: "Oh? Really?"
After Angus finished his speech with a series of brilliant parallelism, he bowed to Lorraine again and walked off the podium.
At that moment, there was another burst of warm applause.
Gretan said next to Lorraine: "Please, sir, the subordinates are all waiting for your lecture."
Lorraine stood up and walked onto the podium. As soon as she stood still, the officials below began to applaud, and the people outside also cheered.
Lorraine felt funny in her heart. This scene was so similar. Then she followed the official script and put aside those clichés, saying that Naian is very powerful, you all worked hard, I am very happy, and the former governor was very competent.
, I will continue to work hard and so on.
Lorraine also rambled a lot, and finally looked at the sun outside and said, "It's hot, so let's let the enthusiastic people outside disperse. Everyone came out early in the morning, so the welcome ceremony is over.
See you at the banquet at the Governor's Palace tonight."
The people below stood up quickly and praised the governor repeatedly for his kindness, caring for the masses, and caring for his subordinates. Those of us who are subordinates will set an example for him, and so on.
Lorraine actually wanted to take a look inside the Governor's Mansion as early as possible. Catherine and Adele had already spoken. Since it was their own territory, of course they would redecorate it according to their own preferences.
Lorraine had great trust in the taste of his two girlfriends, but he was also very clear about their ability to spend money. Lorraine hurried back to see how much his wallet would shrink. Compared with this group of his own
The subordinates playing games here are much more important.
After boarding the carriage surrounded by a group of officials, the Guards escorted the carriage out of the port. As they walked far away, Lorraine could see the crowd still waving bouquets behind them.
Leo fell down on the chair and said with lingering fear: "I thought it would be fun, but for the first time I discovered that being praised can be so hard."
Lorraine said: "We don't understand each other, we just talk in clichés, it's boring."
Leo took out a pile of paper from his pocket, laughed, and said, "It's not without gain, I passed along that guy's speech."
Lorraine looked at Leo blankly and wondered: "How did you do it?"
Leo said proudly: "That guy was just trying to curry favor with you, so I pulled this out of his pocket. If I write according to this in the future, I can save..."
As he spoke, Leo opened the manuscript, glanced at it, and couldn't go on. He made two chirping noises, then lay down on the chair and burst into laughter, covering his stomach with one hand and beating the chair wildly with the other, and said
: "This...this is so delicious."
Lorraine looked at Leo and took the manuscript out of Leo's hand doubtfully. He opened it and read at the top: "On this sunny day, we welcome our beloved
Lord Maredon, the governor of
Maledon's name was crossed out and written "Lorraine"
This is basically the welcome speech Maleton wrote when he took office, and he gave it to Lorraine a few years later.
Lorraine took the speech and clapped it twice in her hand, curled her lips, and couldn't help laughing. She shook her head and said, "These grandsons"
The motorcade drove out of the port, drove along the avenue and entered the city gate, heading towards the innermost Governor's Palace.
Lorraine looked through the cars and boats at the streets of Neidl.
The main roads in the city have a very good environment. Along the way, Lorraine has passed through many cities. Naider City is a bit more prosperous than the average provincial capital. There are two or three-story buildings on both sides of the street. The ones below
The shops were all open and people were coming and going, creating a prosperous scene.
Lorraine pays more attention to the expressions of pedestrians on the road, because the neatness and prosperity can be faked, but the differently dressed pedestrians on the road cannot.
There are richly dressed, pot-bellied people walking around with women in various shops, there are also people in ordinary clothes passing by in front of various display windows, and some people are holding open the display windows and staring at the things inside, beggars in dirty clothes
Dirty clothes, banging the earthen pot in his hand, begging from passers-by.
The Imperial Guards with distinctive armor and military appearance escorted Lorraine through the avenue, and passers-by stopped to look at the convoy.
Leo also opened the car window and looked outside for a while, then turned to look at Lorraine and said, "It's normal outside. Is there anything worth seeing?"
Lorraine said: "It is the normal lives of these ordinary people that can reveal the truth."
Leo became interested and pricked his ears. Lorraine said: "The simplest way is to look at the shops on both sides of the street, what sells the most, what sells the least, and see if there are many people in those clothing stores and restaurants.
, from here you can see the living standards of the Naidel people.”
"There's another thing to say." Leo jumped up and opened the car window to look.
"There are also pedestrians on the road. If you look at their clothes and their faces, you can at least get an idea of the living standards of some people here."
Leo opened his eyes wide and stared hard at the shops on both sides and the pedestrians on the roadside. After a while, he jumped back on the chair and pretended to understand: "Probably, it's okay."
Nidel's Governor's Palace was built from a military fortress that was gradually renovated and expanded over hundreds of years. When Lorraine arrived in front of the Governor's Palace, the first thing he saw was its fifty-foot-tall gray outer layer.
On the city wall, soldiers of the Imperial Guard were already standing on the city wall, and the golden-edged flower-tasseled eagle flag indicating the royal status of the Ruman Empire was already flying on the city wall.
Below is a fifteen-foot-wide city gate. Two iron-reinforced solid wood gates are now open, and soldiers of the Imperial Guard are standing at the door.
The local troops originally stationed at the Governor's Palace were driven to the outskirts by General Philip, and the inside was now dominated by the Praetorian Guards.
After driving through the city gate, Lorraine discovered that the space inside the Governor's Palace was actually very large. The entrance was a wide square paved with blue bricks, with a large fountain in the middle, which added a little coolness to the square under the sun.
The other three people in the square are surrounded by rows of two-story buildings. This is now the barracks of the Imperial Guards and their attendants. More than 3,000 of them can be accommodated here in a very spacious manner. It is unbelievable that the front yard of the Governor's Palace
How big is the scale.
In an emergency, it is easy to gather more than 10,000 soldiers here.
The team then drove through the front yard and passed a city wall before arriving at the courtyard of the Governor's Palace. This is the center of Nai An Province. The Governor's office and conference room are in the main building, with eight-shaped figures protruding from the main building on both sides.
The annex building is the office of other staff of the Governor's Palace.
