Hearing the name Bucky, David understood why Steve did what he did.
"However, this kind of behavior can easily cause misunderstandings, right?"
"Every member of the Avengers knows that I went undercover into Hydra."
Steve didn't just slap his forehead and decide to engage in undercover operations. Before actually starting the operation, he and his Avengers comrades carefully discussed many details, and then officially "joined" Hydra.
In order to ensure that his undercover identity was not exposed, Steve did not discuss anything related to Hydra with his other comrades after joining Hydra, not even in private.
"So, although your comrades know your true identity, you can only rely on yourself to deal with Hydra?"
"I am enough."
Steve didn't take Hydra seriously. The heir to the Supreme Mage, who had broadened his horizons and received the blessings of the Holy Light, Elemental Spirits and Elune, did have the confidence to do so.
"Furthermore, after joining Hydra, I think it is such a waste for these people to be "abandoned" like this." Steve feels that there are many talents in Hydra. If these talents can truly make some contributions to the earth and mankind,
, it’s definitely better than killing him directly as the big bad guy.
Especially considering that the world he lives in will not be very peaceful for many years to come.
"For example..."
"Rumlow?"
"I'm afraid that's not an easy thing."
"Just do your best!"
After chatting for a while, David had figured out Steve's thinking: Rather than flipping the table and completely destroying Hydra as in the original plot, Steve felt it would be better to keep both Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.
.
Steve, who knows what will happen in the future, does this of course to give the Avengers a "protective umbrella". As long as SHIELD is there, the superheroes of the Avengers will not become the target of public criticism.
Official targets from various countries.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. nominally takes orders from the World Security Council.
As for Hydra... Steve was very conflicted at first. According to his previous personality, he must have killed it directly without any discussion.
But now his mind has changed. It's not that he doesn't think Hydra needs to be destroyed, but that he feels that disintegrating it from the inside may be more able to cleanly and completely eliminate this evil organization that has been passed down for a long time than breaking it from the outside.
"Your plan seems a bit familiar to me."
"Helmut Zemo was recruited into Hydra by me not long ago, and he is currently my staff officer."
"..." Hearing what Steve said, David suddenly wanted to take out a pack of cigarettes and light one for the Supreme Hydra Captain.
After chatting for a while, they determined that the Marvel Universe did not need their help. If Steve's plan was carried out, even if Hydra still existed on the surface, its core would be completely different.
Steve, who has become the new leader of Hydra and Kama Taj, may become a more "powerful" leader. If he can't protect the people he poached from Hydra, he will have to do it for him.
A yellow robe is added to the body.
If that scene really happened, David would definitely run to watch the excitement. With the body of Cybertron, he also has his own video equipment, which can record all the details completely and clearly.
After chatting with Steve, David went to chat with other people.
As night fell, everyone moved from the rooftop to the banquet hall, eating various delicacies made by Jonah and drinking juice squeezed from various fruits grown by Mark. Everyone chatted until late at night before leaving one after another.<
/p>
Soon, only David and Laura were left in Fort Glamorgan. Looking at the deserted Fort Glamorgan, David thought it was time to recruit some servants.
"Even if it's just to make this place look a little lively."
David, who had eaten a lot of food and was full and thinking about what to do, looked at Laura, but Laura waved her hand to him, saying that she was going home to rest today: "See you tomorrow morning."
"..."
Eyes open
David, who watched Laura run away, could only practice the Holy Light quietly, then turned off the lights and went to sleep, and the entire Fort Glamorgan fell into silence.
With the arrival of a new day, Winter Town opens a new chapter.
From today on, David can handle various matters in his own office in Castle Glamorgan.
It will also be difficult for ordinary people in the town to find Lord David.
David, who sits in his own office, is no longer someone you can meet just a few steps down the street and to whom you can give advice anytime and anywhere. He has gradually become what a nobleman "should look like."
Elias is very pleased about this. The generous living environment should allow the newly promoted baron to gradually develop a noble temperament.
Just like now, watching David sitting behind the large desk and appointing the man named Wetherby Swann as the political officer of Winter Town, the momentum and demeanor displayed at this time have already made people in the royal capital
It’s about 70% or 80% comparable to those powerful aristocrats.
As for the remaining two or three points of difference, Elias feels that there is no way to completely eliminate it. Because it is determined by Baron Glamorgan's personal temperament. In addition to personality factors, there is also the influence of appearance.
To put it bluntly, Lord Glamorgan is too tender-faced and handsome. He looks more like a noble boy from a privileged background than a powerful lord in charge of an important border town.
Elias slightly suggested that David could choose to grow a beard to make himself look more majestic, but David refused because he didn't like making himself hairy.
"No matter what, my work is almost done."
All kinds of noble etiquette have been taught, and the etiquette class has ended long ago. Now Elias is supervising to ensure that David can develop correct habits.
He began to think about another question. Can he, who already knows a lot about Baron Glamorgan, or the secrets of Winter Town, be able to return to the royal capital smoothly?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Moreover, does he really want to return to the royal capital? If he goes back, he will be a little etiquette officer who is not taken seriously and may even be bullied.
Continue to stay in Winter Town?
This seems like a good choice? Especially as someone who has personally witnessed the development of Winter Town from a primitive small village to such an advanced town now, he is full of expectations for this place and wants to know what Winter Town will develop into in the future.
Looks like.
As for what to do if you stay?
Theoretically, noble lords can hire etiquette officers who fully serve them. Such etiquette officers are not only responsible for teaching the noble noble etiquette.
At the same time, there are also family members who are responsible for teaching the lord: such as the lord’s wife; the lord’s children, etc.
In addition, the etiquette officer is also responsible for the arrangements for the lord and his family when they travel; even when the lord communicates with other nobles, the etiquette officer is also responsible for reminding the lord of anything that needs attention in etiquette.
These are all jobs that he is good at. Even if he doesn't do these, Elias feels that there is no problem for him to serve as the lord's butler.
Elias, who completely didn't notice that his thoughts had changed from "Should I stay?" to "What can I do if I stay?", still stood quietly aside.
And Weatherby Swann, who was sitting across from David's desk, was discussing with the lord the work he would be responsible for next.
"The first step is to restore normal economic conditions."
With the construction of Fort Glamorgan, Winter Fortress and many craftsmen's houses, and the construction of waterworks, wastewater and garbage treatment plants are also stepping up, Winter Town will officially end the previous centralized management.
"Although it's much earlier than I expected, this should be a good thing."
"So, taxes will be collected starting from this round of harvest?"
"Taxes..." David touched his chin and estimated the time: "We won't collect taxes this year. We will start collecting taxes next year."
Calculating time, the farmland in Winter Town can at least grow another round of crops. If David wants to, he can start collecting taxes normally and can collect at least two rounds of agricultural taxes
However, considering that unified management has just ended and no one has personal property in their hands, if we directly face the long and cold winter in this state, some trouble may break out.
Anyway, he didn't need one or two rounds of agricultural tax before he could eat, so the "merciful Lord Baron Glamorgan" directly waived this year's tax, so that the people could spend the winter in peace.
What's more important is that the residents of Cold Winter Town have sufficient assets in their hands to open various shops. For example, some tailors who originally belonged to the craftsman group can open a clothing store.
Cobblers who are good at leathermaking can also open leather products stores to sell leather shoes, leather jackets and other items.
Only when various shops are opened can the economy of Winter Town be normalized, otherwise it might as well be under unified management!
"Sir, this requires the people to hold currency. Is there enough currency reserve here in Winter Town?" Weatherby Swann has wanted to ask this question for a long time. During the time he came to Winter Town, he also
I have never seen currency in this world.
"Don't worry, the reserve of coins is sufficient."
At first, he brought back a lot from the royal capital, and later the Earl of Sutton-Stewart sent a lot of shares. David did not lack the coins of the Kingdom of Tiland, and there was no problem in maintaining the internal economic operation of Winter Town. p>
"As for how to deliver these currencies to ordinary residents..." David thought about it and found that the most reasonable way was to open a daily shop and use coins to buy food from ordinary residents.
At the same time, salt, spices, sugar and other daily necessities are sold in the shop, requiring customers to use currency to purchase. Soon the legal currency of the Tilan Kingdom will be used normally in Winter Town.
In fact, if it were an ordinary town, there would be no need to worry about this kind of thing. However, Winter Town is a bit special. Most of the residents in the town are not natives of the Tilan Kingdom.
"In addition to opening daily shops, I will also directly use coins to hire craftsmen and build other facilities."
