PS: Second update, please give me a guaranteed monthly pass!
Lover Adabe feels very good about himself recently.
Although the romantic guest seemed to be calm on the surface during the dwarf's revenge incident and the arrival of Ryan and others, he was actually very uneasy in his heart, fearing that someone would come after him. Adabbe knew that he was just a rag most of the time. If
If the business princes think he is useless, he will most likely be abandoned.
Therefore, when the dwarves arrived, Adabe had already made a series of arrangements so that he could escape from this whirlpool.
Everything was planned, but suddenly the emperor was attacked, and the whole Marienburg was shocked. Everyone cursed Hugmans' recklessness and haste, especially the citizens of Marienburg, who never
I feel that I am a member of the Empire, and they want you to plan the assassination carefully and in detail!
However, Adabe suddenly realized that the occurrence of this incident had relieved his danger! Everyone in Marienburg, including the dwarves and Brittanians, had focused their attention on the emperor and the two houses.
On the body.
I'm fine!
Hoogmans beef batch!
He used his own sacrifice to buy safety for Alphonse and me!
The limelight has passed~ Adabe sat in the attic on the top floor of the Seagull and Trident Hotel, secretly looking down. His eyes focused on the beautiful knight queen, Sulia. Adabe suddenly felt that he
It’s not like there’s no chance at all. Let’s wait for this storm to pass and then think about it in the long term!
"Alphonse, have you given away the gift I asked you to buy?" Adabe said to his son Alphonse.
"They were all sent out, two gifts worth twenty thousand gold marks, one for the Brittanians and one for the Ash Legion." Alphonse nodded: "Including dozens of fine dwarf plate armors, one for the Ashes.
More than a hundred muskets and a large number of military logistics items were sent out, and the other party also accepted them."
"Okay, very good. Next, we will take the lead in donating the Marienburg fine." The romantic guest said firmly: "We will donate first, just... fifteen thousand gold marks! Alphonse, you
Go and call on the whole city to donate money and mobilize everyone, especially the members of the upper and lower houses."
"But father, will those congressmen be willing to donate?" Alphonse was still a little hesitant, and he whispered: "After all, this is a direct donation, which has no benefits and does not have the reputation of charity."
"Hey, stupid boy, what do you know?" Adabe couldn't help laughing. The underground emperor who had been in Marienburg for decades stretched out an index finger and tapped it on the table. He gently used his fingertips to
He banged on the wooden table: "Those councilors must take the lead in donating, and then the citizens will be willing to follow suit. This is a necessary and sufficient condition."
"Yeah." Alphonse also nodded, and his son also admitted this. He leaned back and slowly leaned on the armchair: "But the problem is this, how to persuade the congressmen to donate?"
"It's very simple. We made an agreement with the council members in advance. After all the donated money is received, the council members' money will be repaid in full, and the citizens' money will be divided into 30 and 70 cents." Adabei made a cross on the table: "I know what to do.
Is it done?”
"I understand." Alphonse understood immediately. He picked up his broad-brimmed gentleman's hat and went out immediately.
"Well." Adabei watched his son go out. He thought for a while and looked down from the attic. King Ryan, Queen Surya, and Beria were sitting there discussing things.
The romantic guest knew that they were most likely discussing important matters, but Adabe would not dare to come close and eavesdrop. What kind of strength did Ryan have? He only had one life, and it would be over if he was not careful.
I hope he can leave a good impression on Ryan and the others by doing this, Adabei thought deeply, so that no one will focus on him.
This is thinking about retreat and thinking about change.
Someone was thinking above the attic, and in the terrace shed below the attic, Ryan also told Beria the task.
Britannia has no qualifications to interfere in the internal affairs of Marienburg, but it is blameless for Archduke Schulz to hire a personal consultant. Ryan arranged for Beria to be with Schulz as a result of careful consideration. Beria is now
The character is a completely secular bureaucrat, and his identity will not arouse the resentment of businessmen.
"At the same time, write a letter immediately!" Ryan took out several letters: "Beria, in my name, immediately hand over these letters to the Poseidon Church, and use the transmission function to send them to all the electors in the empire except the emperor's faction.
, as well as Archbishop Vicmar and White Wolf Pope Emil Wagel, Archbishop Vicmar’s letter is remembered in the name of Alfred, Patriarch of the Diocese of Western Britannia.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Beria stretched out his hands and took a thick stack of letters from Ryan, then stood up, bowed, and left.
"Since we can't stop it, let's muddy the water!" Ryan looked at the sea in the distance and smiled: "How can our Emperor Karl eat alone? Has he forgotten that his empire is a bulk empire?"
"Let's go, Sulia, let's go find little Thor Green right now."
"good!"
…………I am the dividing line that muddies the water…………
Sure enough, two days later, Marienburg's city council had to immediately hold another meeting. At the meeting, the high elves stood up for the first time and attacked the emperor and his anti-revolutionary committee: "The official name of Marienburg is Ah.
Sur is the only designated trading port in the Old World. It is also the location of our embassy and the last enclave where the Empire built
The establishment of the Suppression Committee has had a serious impact on Asur's interests and free democracy. We are not sure whether this Suppression Committee can ensure that Assur's interests are not affected. Therefore, we require that the high elves must stay in Marienburg.
It holds more than one-third of the seats! Otherwise, the high elves refuse to accept the existence of the Counter-Revolutionary Committee!"
The high elves' attack caught the emperor off guard, but if the high elves were involved, wouldn't the power of the anti-revolutionary committee be greatly reduced?
At the VIP table, the dwarf envoy, Belegar's eldest son Thorgreen Hammer, moved several books, raised them up, and sat next to Ryan. He listened carefully to Ryan's words and raised his own questions:
"Your Majesty Lane, isn't Marienburg a territory of the empire? Aren't the people here also citizens of the empire? Why would the emperor do this? Also, why do you want me to side with Marienburg? We and Marienburg
Aren’t the business princes enemies?”
"Your Highness Little Thorgreen, please listen to me carefully." Ryan smiled and said: "Calm down first and let me analyze it for you."
"Oh, of course. Before I came, my father told me many times to listen to Brother Lane and don't make it difficult for him." Of course, little Thor Green admired him very much for successfully completing the impossible task and taking back eight
Fengshan's father, the true king of the Eight Peaks, Belegar-Ironhammer.
"We are different from the emperor. We came to Marienburg this time just to teach these business princes a lesson. We are here to find trouble, but we are not here to overturn the table." Ryan said softly: "We are just forcing
The wealthy businessmen are spitting out a sum of money, but the emperor is different. The emperor’s plan is to take the wealth of these businessmen as his own and take away the autonomy of these businessmen."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, this is the difference between clan alliance and clan allegiance." Mustache nodded repeatedly: "Sometimes the clan makes a mistake, we ask them to hand over enough ransom or meteorite, and the matter is over.
.”
"Yes, but if the empire takes back Marienburg, without this free port, the goods market in the old world will fall under the control of the empire. The prices of raw materials and various commodities will be controlled by the empire. The market and prices will be under the control of the emperor.
Next." Ryan nodded repeatedly and continued to teach:
"What's more, now that the emperor is short of money, he is very likely to 'expropriate' Marienburg's wealth. Once this precedent is set, it will be impossible to close it. Once the emperor is short of money in the future, he will subconsciously want to expropriate Marienburg.
Money, in this way, Marienburg will completely lose its status."
"Oh, I understand. Just like what all the dwarves are worried about, whether King Baiernov of Haimen Pass will change the openness and trade tradition of Haimen Pass. I understand, we really can't let the empire
Control Marienburg~" Mustache learned surprisingly quickly, which surprised Ryan a little. This mustache is worth cultivating!
The King of Knights suddenly felt that Belegar sent his eldest son to him, which had this meaning: Brother Ryan, I am not good at teaching children, so I will leave little Thor Green to you to teach him.
To put it simply, just like Lane's previous life, the decline of Eastern Luo and the rise of the Ottomans took control of the Silk Road. European merchants had no choice but to try to open up "new routes." For Lane, if Marienburg was actually controlled by the empire, then
The Knight Kingdom's business activities in the old world almost entirely depended on the empire, so it had no choice but to turn around and go to the new world for trade, in which case it would be under the control of the high spirits.
It goes without saying how much profit will be lost by losing the initiative in trade.
From another perspective, Marienburg is a natural buffer zone between the Empire and Britannia. In the history of the Empire and Britannia, the two sides have not always been allies, and there have been many frictions and wars.
, this is what is meant by the so-called distant fragrance and near smell.
Now at least Ryan still has the initiative in trade, just like Adidas and Nike, he at least has the initiative to choose.
"Understood!" Little Sol Green understood what Ryan meant.
So, after the empire negotiated with the high elves for a long time, and finally agreed to give the high elves two or three seats on the anti-revolutionary committee, the dwarf envoy Thor Greene stood up and made a preemptive move: "I don't agree.
!His Majesty the Emperor, Karl Franz, son of Charlemagne, I feel very incomprehensible to your decision. On behalf of Mars
All dwarves in Limburg disagree with your decision! Your inclusion of high elves in your purge committee has seriously violated the interests of the dwarves. On behalf of all dwarves, I ask you that there must also be dwarves in the purge committee.
seat! And it must be equal to that of the elves! Otherwise we cannot trust you to protect the interests of the dwarves from infringement!"
"???!!!" Karl-Franz only felt that his brain was hit hard, and his vision went black for a while. As the most reliable ally of the empire, at the critical moment, the dwarf actually came out and stabbed him in the back?!
There are elves and dwarves in the Anti-Revolutionary Committee. Can this committee have a peaceful day?
The emperor immediately understood who was behind the scenes. He noticed Ryan sitting in the VIP seat, smiling and saying nothing. The emperor really wanted to take a war hammer and smash the head of this knight king who he had regarded as his confidant and best friend!
Damn it, I can't beat him! The emperor was so angry that his head was smoking, but when faced with the dwarf's request, the emperor had to consider it carefully. It was a dwarf, a dwarf who was the holy alliance of the empire!
The emperor suddenly changed from an absolutely active position to a passive position. He had to resort to procrastination and planned to discuss with his courtiers what should be done next.
However, this matter was not over yet. Two days later, as Tigris' high-precision Phoenix giant ship approached Marienburg, the entire old world also knew about the Anti-Revolutionary Committee.
The electors and elector-qualified candidates all jumped out after getting first-hand information because of Ryan's letter.
The Grand Duke of Midden and White Wolf Elector Boris Todbringer said that Marienburg belongs to the owner of the empire, and Midden will also send three knights to join the anti-rebellion committee!
Imperial Baroness Emmanuel said that order in Marienburg is very important, and jurists and professors from Nuer University are ready to join the Anti-Revolutionary Committee and provide legal guidance!
The Great Baron of Hawkland and Elector Edbrand-Ludenhof expressed his willingness to share the emperor's worries. The two master hunters of Hawkland are already on their way to Marienburg, ready to join the suppression of the rebellion!
The Chancellor of Ostermark, Elector Wolfram Hertwig, said that the emperor definitely needs the help of the vampire hunters of Ostermark! The two vampire hunters are ready to set off for Marienburg!
The Grand Duke of Stirland, Alberich Hout Anderson, also announced that the security of Marienburg must not lack the participation of Stirland people. Their experience in dealing with the undead will be a valuable asset. The two senior combatants
A priest and a dervish were willing to share the emperor's worries!
Grand Duke Tarabek and Elector Helmut Feuerbach were shocked when they heard the news. It was so strange that the emperor was acting like this. Karl Franz was going to eat people! I'm going to send someone too!
Immediately afterwards, the Pope of the White Wolf Church, Emil Wagel, also said that a team of White Wolf monks were ready to go, and the Archbishop of the Church of Justice, Vicmar, even said that he would send an entire regiment of paladin to Marienburg to assist the emperor in suppressing the rebellion!
Finally, the King of Nord and the Elector of Nordland Theodorik Geisel even announced that Marienburg has been the territory of the Kingdom of Nord since ancient times. Didn’t you see that all my rune teeth come from the West?
Leader? He will personally lead a large army south, personally join the Anti-Revolutionary Committee, and take over Marienburg!
Even in the end, Boris Todbringer said that the emperor's energy can be concentrated on Marienburg. It doesn't matter. Brunswick can be left to us in Midden! We can also help manage it.
Good security, for example, wasn’t the Lahmian vampire girl named Genevieve personally ordered by the emperor to give her permanent residency? Let’s help Karl solve the problem!
"I will deal with the NMB!" Karl-Franz completely lost his temper after hearing the news. The emperor angrily roared in his temporary residence to vent his anger: "The purge of counter-revolutionaries actually came to my head! Boris and the others
What do you want to do?"
"Bulk Empire." Ryan smiled after hearing the news: "You and I still have different control over the country after all, Karl, I'm sorry."
With so many people added to the Anti-Revolutionary Committee, can it still operate under the guidance of the emperor? It has simply become a replica of the Imperial Parliament that bickers all day long!
But it won’t work if we don’t add them. The elves have been added, and the dwarves have to be added. The dwarves have all been added. Naturally, every elector and major church in the empire has to add people. Once this gap is opened, it can’t be closed. The emperor still has to add people.
Before the matter could be settled in time, the electors had already arrived one after another, and the emperor had lost the opportunity to control the situation and form a fait accompli.
In this way, the emperor tried his best to achieve the goal with great difficulty. Before the so-called Anti-Revolutionary Committee was established, its structure had undergone tremendous changes, and it was difficult to play the role of the original plan.
At the same time, Lane and others also received compensation from the merchants of Marienburg from the two Houses of Marienburg. This compensation was paid in two installments. The first payment was 50,000 gold marks, and the second payment was made by Lane and others from
Ulthuan returned and paid another 62,000 gold marks. The extra 4,000 gold marks were regarded as interest. Young Thorgreen also agreed. Then, Mustache changed hands and loaned the money to Emperor Karl Franz.
Then, with the arrival of Tigris, the two ironclad ships were also ready to go to sea.
