The capital of the Kingdom of England is different from other countries. Other countries, whether they are monarchies or parliamentary countries, have only one capital, but the Kingdom of England has two capitals. According to custom, one is called the royal capital Saran.
The royal fiefdom is Thackershire, and the other is the capital of Turin, which is in Wales.
The reason for this situation is entirely due to the weakening of royal power. After the royal power was greatly weakened by the Congress, the Congress began to discuss the matter of moving the capital. The reason given was that the royal capital Saran was not suitable because of the inconvenience of transportation.
As a capital city.
Although everyone knows that this reason is only a superficial reason, and is actually intended to further weaken the influence of the royal family, they have to admit that this reason is very tenable and cannot be refuted in any way.
When the British royal family set the capital in Salan, they considered more security issues. Salan is located in the center of Sack County and is surrounded by mountains. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the road leading to Salan
There are nearly a hundred fortresses of various sizes on the mountain road, which can be said to protect the royal capital of Salan like an iron bridge.
It is precisely because of such strict protection that any subsequent turmoil in the Kingdom of England did not allow foreign enemies to enter Saran. Therefore, the royal capital Saran was called an unbreakable city. Even the French Empire had to
Granted that Saran is indeed worthy of such a title.
However, such an unbreakable city fell due to internal power changes, and the whole process did not cost a single soldier.
It is precisely because the influence of the royal family in the Salan area and Thacker County is so great. Although the influence has been weakened to the extreme by the collective efforts of the Congress, there are still a large number of people who are die-hardly loyal to the royal family in Salan.
People will definitely step back behind the scenes because of the royal family, give up their rights, and do some crazy things. Officials from various congresses working in the royal capital, no one wants to be inexplicably attacked by someone who suddenly rushes out while walking on the road.
Stab to death.
Therefore, at the request of the vast majority of officials, the Congress began to discuss the matter of moving the capital. Just to appease the royal family, the Congress did not cancel the administrative establishment of the royal capital Saran, and still allowed the royal family to retain absolute administrative power over Saran.
Faced with the menacing Congress, the royal family had to bow its head and agreed to the Congress' request to move the capital. However, the two sides had some differences on the location of the capital move.
According to the royal family's opinion, even if the capital is moved, the new capital should still be located in the royal territory. Moreover, the royal territory has many excellent cities with complete infrastructure. Just move there and there is no need to think about it at all.
The cost and time of rebuilding.
But of course the Congress did not agree to such a proposal. After all, it took great difficulty to move the capital from Saran, where the royal family has great influence. Now it chooses a city where the royal family's territory is located. Isn't that the same as not moving the capital?
Therefore, the Parliament and the royal family have been arguing over this issue for several months, and this dispute has also expanded from the House of Parliament to the people, and even the entire Kingdom of England. A storm that may almost split the Kingdom into two parts is about to take shape.
Both the Parliament and the royal family were aware of this. They were unwilling to see the Kingdom of England split, especially at the time when the Kingdom of England's navy was dominating the sea. Once split, the Kingdom of England would definitely lose its status as the maritime hegemon.
, which does neither party any good.
Therefore, after some consultations, the royal family and Congress chose a compromise plan, choosing an area that had a deep relationship with the royal family and was not royal territory to establish a new capital, and Welsh County became the plan.
After repeated discussions, Durin, a river port city in Wales, became the final candidate for the capital.
Dulin is located on the banks of the Wells River, one of the three major rivers in the Kingdom of England. It has excellent water conservancy and transportation, and it is not far from the nearest seaport. All materials can be quickly transported to the capital by water, so this place is also
It was favored by the Congress and after repeated discussions, it was designated as the capital.
Speaking of which, Leo was familiar with the urban layout and block divisions of the city of Durin, because it was completely a miniature version of Miria City.
When Durin was originally designated as the national capital, it was just an inconspicuous town and everything needed to be rebuilt. Therefore, how to build the national capital became a point of contention within the Congress.
Many architects from the Kingdom of England, and even architects from abroad, gathered here and presented excellent plans to the Congress, hoping to become the chief architect of the capital of the Kingdom of England. After all, the chief designer of a country's capital was
The title of architect is a dazzling crown for any architect.
At that time, Congress discussed this for a long time. It is not that there is anything wrong with these design plans, but that every plan is excellent and can be recognized by some members of the Congress. In the end, Congress was unable to make a final decision.
But it was not an option to drag things out like this. In the end, someone proposed to simply use Miria City as a prototype to rebuild the capital of the Kingdom of England.
Although this proposal sounds absurd now, it was very popular at the time. After all, the city of Milia was called the center of the world at that time, and the Kingdom of England used the city as a prototype to build a new capital, which also showed their ambitions.
, they hope that the capital city of Durin will replace Miria City as the new world center and world capital in the future.
However, after it was built, the gentlemen in the Congress discovered a problem. The reason why Milia City is called the capital of the world is because it is not only inhabited by people from all over the world, but also has countless people with...
There are buildings of various styles. But when they decided to use Miria City as the prototype of the capital, they did not consider these. It was not until part of the capital building was built that they discovered something was wrong.
It's just that it's too late to demolish and rebuild. In order to save the situation, Congress issued an order that sounds extremely ridiculous, that is, all buildings built in the capital must have unique features, whether it is a shop, an apartment, or an official residence.
Whether it is an office building or an office building, there should be no repeated styles.
It must be said that this order, which sounds very absurd even now, saved the capital city of Dulin, which almost became the laughing stock of the world, and made Dulin a city with the most unique buildings, a holy place in the hearts of all architects.
Now Leo is in the most luxurious hotel in this strange capital, in a guest room with a dozen floors, standing by the huge window, watching the people coming and going for a living downstairs and the people extending to
Various strange-style buildings in the distance.
However, his mind at the moment was not on these buildings that fascinated architects from all over the world, but on other things.
When he was in Kevin Town, Leo had already negotiated various matters regarding the trade of wizard healing potions with Wizard Otto as the representative of the royal family and Frank Forson as the representative of the Special Bureau. In fact, when he said that he could proceed with both parties at the same time
During the transaction, the expressions on their faces looked a little strange, with emotions such as surprise and suspicion mixed in among them.
The reason why the old wizard and Frank Forson have such expressions is because according to their understanding, it is very difficult for a wizard to refine a bottle of wizard potion. Not only does it require high levels of alchemy, but refining the medicine also takes a certain amount of time.
So if Leo can refine two bottles a month, it's already pretty good.
They all knew the black market very well and knew that Leo had sold more than 20 bottles of wizard healing potions on the black market before. They all believed that those were accumulated by Leo before and were not newly refined.
So they had to suspect that the wizard potion that Leo wanted to trade with them was defective or had been blended.
It is inevitable that they would have such an idea. After all, their concept of pharmaceutical extraction is still stuck in the two very authoritative methods of distillation and precipitation. Both of these methods take a long time to extract, and Lei
Ouze adopts the more advanced and fast centrifugation method of the old earth era to refine the medicine.
After Leo acquired a machinery manufacturing factory, he began to manufacture some mechanical tools, including a centrifuge to help him make medicine, but this centrifuge was driven by steam instead of electricity.
With this centrifuge, the refining work that originally took more than ten days to complete was shortened to less than ten minutes, so the time it took him to refine a bottle of wizard's healing potion was also shortened to less than half an hour.
Faced with the two's doubts, Leo took out two bottles of healing potions as samples and handed them to the two of them, and said that the treatment potions delivered in the future would be based on this standard, and the two felt relieved.
The transaction between him and the old wizard was very simple. He spent a large amount of money or other materials of equivalent value in exchange for twenty bottles of healing potions from Leo.
Frank Fossen's transaction is a bit troublesome. He can only take out part of the money now, and the other part, the most important spiritual revelation of eternal wisdom, needs to be notified to Congress and arranged on time. This makes Leo put the matter of the Prince of Wales
Putting everything behind him, he followed Frank Fussen to the capital and was arranged to stay in the largest hotel in the capital.
In the past two days, Frank Fossen was busy trying to convince Congress and the royal family to transfer the qualification to contact the eternal wisdom artifact to Leo's ceremony. However, judging from his expression when he came to see Leo, the situation did not seem to be what he expected.
It's that simple.
Leo didn't care about this, because even if the deal couldn't be concluded, he had nothing to lose.
During the two days he stayed in the hotel, Leo secretly left the hotel twice, both times going to the black market in the city.
Compared with the black market in Port Set, the black market in Guodu seems a little too unlike a black market. It is more like a private club. Only those with credentials can enter. Obviously, the black market in Guodu should be officially recognized, and even
There may be some special cooperation with the Special Bureau.
After arriving at the black market, Leo purchased a piece of information about Frank Forson directly from here, and the black market's answer was that it would take time to prepare.
Leo knew very well that the so-called need for time to prepare was nothing more than informing the Special Bureau. This was exactly what he wanted. He just wanted results.
So when he came to the black market for the second time to get information, he already found several tails following him after leaving the black market.
He did not get rid of these tails, but let them follow him back to the hotel. He knew very well that his purchase of information would soon be reported to Frank Forson.
Although the black market has a cooperative relationship with the Special Bureau, the information sold on the black market has not been abridged because of this relationship. Even the information on the director of the Special Bureau is still very detailed as long as you can afford to pay.
Although the recording method of these data is very boring, like some formulaic documents, Leo was very fascinated by it, and he also had a slight admiration for Frank Forson in his heart. I have to say that the Special Bureau of the Kingdom of England can have what it is now
His strength, and the ability to suppress all kinds of extraordinary people in the Kingdom of Yinge are inseparable from his hard work over the years.
Just like Leo's first feeling when he first saw Frank Fossen, Frank Fossen was not as old as his appearance seemed. In fact, Frank Fossen was only in his thirties, and the reason why he was
The main reason why he looks so old is because when he uses the power of his family, he is also overdrawing his own life force.
It is common knowledge in the Special Bureau that Frank Fossen is a dependent, but no one knows which god Frank Fossen is a dependent of.
This man who was able to elevate the Special Bureau to the pinnacle of power in the Kingdom of England despite being suppressed by both Congress and the royal family had an ordinary background.
He was just the son of a fisherman, and his experience before he was fifteen years old was very ordinary. Like most fishermen's sons, he attended the Kingdom's public school. After completing six years of schooling, he was not admitted to an institution of higher learning.
Can go home and inherit the family business and become a fisherman.
When he was fifteen years old, Frank Fussen went fishing with his father's fleet and encountered a very big storm at sea. The fishing boat quickly capsized in the wind and waves, and everyone fell into the water.
He almost found a floating object to hold on to so that he would not be drowned by the wind and waves. However, Frank Forson was unable to grab the floating object due to his lack of experience in going out to sea for the first time and was swept away by the wind and waves and disappeared.
These people who were shipwrecked were eventually rescued by a passing fishing boat, but the number of people who went back was reduced by half, and Frank Forson was one of them.
Everyone thought that the victims were dead, and a public funeral was held for them in accordance with the rules. But unexpectedly, on the third day after the funeral, Frank Fussen returned to the fishing village alive.
What's even weirder is that Frank Forson has no idea how he came back alive. He only remembers that he was knocked into the sea by the waves, sank to the bottom of the sea little by little, and then lost consciousness. But when he woke up,
But he was already lying on the beach not far from his village, and the memory of the past few days was completely lost.
As a result, some people believed that Frank Fossen was favored by Poseidon, so he was able to survive. This was recognized by many people, and spread, eventually alarming the Special Bureau and the royal family.
