Volume 7: Mortals and Gods Chapter 774: Bewitching (Part 2)
This is how Felix, the founder of the Steppe Cheka, was exiled. The original chief minister of the royal court, Tuo Seer, was also hunted down in this way. Chief Engineer Sergo was also hunted down for talking nonsense and asking questions all day long, etc.
.
As for taking the blame, it's even worse. The acting army commander Meretskov who he finally managed to get was inexplicably put in a cauldron and imprisoned after the Winter War. He still has post-traumatic sequelae.
Normally, I don't dare to speak, and I don't want to speak. Whenever something happens, I subconsciously ask Beria for instructions on what to do. Even when I go out to have dinner with friends at night, I take the initiative to report it, which makes Beria, who is always gloomy and serious.
Have fun.
"Meretskov, do you have to report to me when you go to the toilet?"
"If you need me, my legion commander."
"I don't need it! In the future, you can arrange your own time on rest days and after dinner. I allow it! Don't bother me with these trivial things all the time."
"But, if I don't tell you, I really can't eat with peace of mind. I can't calm down all the time, and the food doesn't taste good in my mouth."
"Pfft..." At that time, coffee sprayed all over the table.
Beria almost laughed when he thought of this, and he quickly controlled his expression. This was a prelude to the emperor.
"Next, it depends on how Katalin Khan responds."
Fiona didn't notice the change in Beria's expression. She walked back and forth thinking, and then asked Beria:
"Beria, what do you think our Khan will do?"
"Katarin Khan should quickly understand what is going on."
Beria thought for a while, and then said: "But he should have difficulty making a decision, because whether he chooses to agree to Shilawik's request to punish the minister and limit the power of the Khan, or refuse to punish the minister, the outcome will be the same."
"Yes." Fiona agreed: "So, what will he do?"
At this moment, Talleyrand spoke:
"Grand Duke, Katalin Khan will think of a third way. Think about it, the news of your recovery of Erengrad has spread, coupled with the difficulties he faces, and the Katalin Khan has always been
Way of doing things.
I guess your successful March Storm operation will easily give him the illusion that he will become very confident and confident that he can solve the problem."
"You mean, the Northern Expedition?"
In the next three days, with Fiona's support behind him, Vladimir, the acting ruler of Erengrad, did not face any opponent who could fight in the steppe people's referendum.
He won a wild victory with 87% of the votes, and then successfully became the Grand Duke of Erengrad.
Pressing the Prairie Code with his hand, Vladimir was sworn in as Grand Duke of Erengrad on the stage. He said to everyone:

"Give me twenty years and give you a miracle, Erengrad."
This is basically equivalent to being a consul for life.
The first thing Vladimir did after taking office was to rebuild the bureaucracy with the help of Fiona. All the old Duma members and the surviving bureaucrats of Erlengrad, Vladimir
Ladimir didn't recognize any of them.
He announced that he would reorganize the entire bureaucracy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a large number of low-level technocrats and petty officers who had been depressed and had no chance to show themselves, and herdsmen were promoted and selected to form a new grassland parliament.
The originally bloated and slow parliament has become clean and efficient again. There are fewer people but the efficiency has increased.
As for those old bureaucrats, Vladimir did not make things difficult for them. The qualified and capable ones were reinstated after inspection, and the rest were retired.
The second thing was to reorganize the Shilavik Group, announce the national policy of horse racing and land encirclement, and at the same time crack down hard on the "mountain doctrine" in the military.
With Fiona's help, the entire Silavik Group was reintegrated, and those officers and Boyers who dared to fight and showed loyalty and bravery in the Battle of Erengrad and Winter Operations were promoted to serve as
All incompetent people will be assigned to important positions.
The grassland people danced the "Cossack Dance" excitedly. Good times are coming!
The third thing is to formally sign a loan agreement and a free trade agreement with the Principality of Shire and the Albrex Empire. It was signed under the witness of three gods: the bear god Esun, the goddess of justice Valenna and the fairy of the lake.
Contract documents.
After being reorganized in this way, the land suddenly felt refreshed.
At the same time, the cleanup of the remaining orc forces in Growood Forest continues.
However, the cleaning activities went very smoothly, and the human coalition basically encountered no decent resistance. As the orc forces were gradually cleared from the vicinity of Erlengrad, and the weather finally showed signs of warming, Fiona began to prepare for the withdrawal.
matter.
That day, in the afternoon in Erengrad, Iros, Fiona and Talleyrand walked and strolled together.
Archduchess Fiona complained casually:
"I'm always tired of dealing with bureaucrats, and I'm even more tired of the series of things after the war, but I know that wars are often not simple, and often the most important thing is the post-war arrangements."
Fiona, who is now much more mature, knows very well that war is a continuation of politics.
"Hehehe."
Talleyrand was leaning on a cane. It was a little warmer in Erengrad in April, but the ground was still very frozen and hard.
The cripple walked slowly, and he knew Fiona was slowing down because of him:

"Grand Duke, the bureaucracy is indeed very annoying, but this is the best way of governance that an orderly society has concluded after thousands of years of exploration. What else should we do?
Enfeoffment of the nobility? Or tribal slavery? Or return to fists and wildness?
If you really want to say this, the rule of the undead is the best. They are all dead people and tools. There is no exploitation and no oppression. It is democracy and freedom in the true sense."
"Hahaha!"
Iros, who was listening in the audience, was directly amused by Talleyrand. When he thought about it carefully, it was true that Nagash, the Lord of the Dead, was simply a beacon of freedom and democracy!
Because he controls all the undead by himself, and the people rule by himself.
"Grand Duke, I want to say that you are truly a capable man."
Talleyrand took the opportunity to say, the lame man leaning on crutches: "You know how to control your desires, you know where the limits of your principality are, you know how to deal with the bureaucracy, and you have the power to smash it and rebuild it.
You are like the sun, and I, Talleyrand, am your loyal servant. You are responsible for warming the earth, and I am responsible for praising the sun!"
After speaking, Talleyrand put down his crutch and made a "like" gesture. Not only did it not have any sense of sacredness, but it looked very funny.

"Hahaha."
Talleyrand's flattery made Fiona couldn't help laughing. After a series of military victories and political and economic gains, the Grand Duchess couldn't help but feel a little swollen.
She was already thinking about how to hold a celebration meeting when she went back. After hearing Talleyrand's rainbow fart, Fiona couldn't help but laugh:
"Talleyrand, although I don't like to be flattered, your words are still very useful to me."
"Grand Duke, your suggestion is too harsh for me."
Talleyrand smiled helplessly and said: "I can make a difference because I have opportunities and good luck. In addition to my humble background, it is destined to be difficult to get opportunities. I also don't like this environment. I don't like it very much. For thousands of years,
It’s gone, rigid, decayed.”
"Why?"
Fiona became interested now, and the Grand Duchess signaled Talleyrand to say more:
"Speaking of which, I don't know anything about how other empires run their courts."
"Um..."

Talleyrand tapped his cane a few times on the frozen hard ground: "I will tell you two jokes, Grand Duke, and other classic jokes in the imperial court."
"The first joke is that as we all know, the Emperor of the Cyril Empire likes Batoria's dessert, almond meringue, and he especially likes to eat it.
So when the trade with Batoria was re-established, Emperor Cyril ordered his courtiers to say that they wanted to eat this kind of dessert and arrange it."
"The person in charge of this matter was my distant relative. When he heard about this matter, he took it very seriously. After a few days of investigation, he reported three volumes of parchment with a total length of twelve feet, "About the Introduction to the Palace.
"Draft for Comments on Management Measures for New Desserts"."
"The Emperor of the Xirel Empire attached great importance to it. He looked at the parchment and briefly stated the specific content:
Since they want to eat almond meringues, the palace has to import raw materials, hire chefs, create a set of cooking utensils, and set up a brand new kitchen. Finally, after calculation, the additional expenditure is 900 gold galleons a year.
After that, there will be a maintenance fee of 150 gold galleons every year. Please approve the funding."
"His Majesty Emperor Cyril is unwilling to pay so much money. He said that one silver gram of marzipan on the market can buy three pieces. Why is the price increased at least two hundred times when it comes to his place?"
"Our clever Emperor Xirel immediately said that I know that Batoria Dessert Shop sells it. One silver siko can buy three or four yuan. You can just go there and place an order."
"The minister did not dare to neglect, so he went to the dessert shop immediately. He replied to Emperor Siriel the next day, saying that Batoria Dessert Shop no longer makes this kind of dessert, and the matter will be ignored."
Fiona sneered a few times, and the Grand Justice was about to speak, but Talleyrand stretched out his hand to signal Fiona to listen to what he said:
