Mike came up to us and said, "Sir, where are we going now?"
Claude got into the carriage with a heavy heart and said to McJack who followed him in, "Go home and don't go to the regiment headquarters."
"Yes." Michael closed the carriage door and gave instructions to the coachman in front of the carriage. The carriage began to roll, and the big man Gemie led a small group of guards on horseback to escort them on both sides of the carriage.
The Ranger Legion's headquarters is set up in Greno Castle, the capital of the Amphiston Territory. This is the largest mountain town in the territory and is also the most important mineral development site. Claude has always suspected that Amphiston
The capital of the demesne is located in Greno Castle, mainly because there are two large gold mines nearby. The former governors and admirals always paid attention to the output of the two gold mines, because it was related to the fullness of their own wallets.
I remember that when Prince Hansback came to inspect the Rangers and set up a war zone and abolished the positions of the four governors and admirals directly under the war zone, the governor of Amphiston was still reluctant to leave when he left. According to an insider,
Because the governor can own 10% of the dry shares of two gold mines, this is an annual income of more than a thousand gold crowns that can guarantee harvests despite droughts and floods.
Greno Castle is a mountain town, and the carriage needs to go up and down the mountain, which takes more than half a day. The 131st Ranger Regiment is currently based in the town of Ferru in the Robistore Territory, which was originally a town in the Beringana Territory.
, nearly three hundred miles away from the Castle of Greno, the capital of the Amphiston Directive, but after the war zone was re-demarcated, it was assigned to the Robisto Direct Territory. Claude's first victory on the Nubisian continent
Even during the night attack on Ferru town, the 131st Battalion of Rangers, a reinforced battalion, annihilated an enemy garrison in one battle and captured more than 3,000 prisoners.
However, Claude’s home is in Lanhu Town. This is mainly because Claude’s family likes the natural scenery of Lanhu. His sister Anna brought her mother and Kaifuni mother and son to visit relatives, and strongly recommended the scenery of Lanhu.
The last time she brought her younger brother Blovik to join the army, he lived by Lake Orchid, so this time was no exception. Claude directly rented a villa and manor by Lake Orchid for his mother, wife and children to live there.
There, this was Claude's first home on the continent of Nubisia.
"McJack, when you get home, ask Gemie to send someone to the regiment headquarters to convey my order and ask them to break camp and return to Lanhu Town. We will have to stay here for a while in the future," Claude said.
Claude has decided that the first thing he will do when he takes over as the supreme commander of the theater is to move the theater headquarters to Lanhu Town and change Lanhu Town into the capital of the Amphiston Territory. This will at least save money from
It takes more than half a day to travel from Greno Castle to Lanhu Town, and it is also the most convenient and fastest way to go from Lanhu Town to the Robistoux Territory. It can improve the mobile reaction speed of the troops and rush to the front line in the shortest time.
.
The carriage drove along the road of Lanhu Town and entered a lakeside manor with a beautiful environment. This manor named Veblen is the summer residence of a deacon of the Mining and Commerce Association of Amphiston. Their family lives in
Greno Castle. Every summer, the deacon would take his family to Lanhu Town for summer vacation. This time he heard that Claude was looking for a place for his relatives and family in Lanhu Town, so he volunteered to pay a rent of one gold crown per month.
This villa and manor was rented to Claude, and the two families became friends.
The carriage stopped, and when Claude got out of the carriage, he found a very familiar carriage parked in the courtyard. A variant of the word "U" was carved on the outer wall of the black carriage. Needless to say, he was the original owner of this villa and manor.
Who from Mr. Veblen's family came to visit, but I don't know whether it was the lady or the gentleman, or the whole family.
It is a traditional custom in this world to carve the family coat of arms and surname on the carriage. However, the Veblen family is not a noble and has no right to design the coat of arms of their own family, nor can it be marked with the entire surname. Therefore, Mr. Veblen can only use the first digit of his surname.
The deformation of a word as a mark is an officially allowed behavior. When you see such a word, you will know that it belongs to his carriage.
Claude smiled bitterly. Although he spent one gold crown per month to rent this villa and manor, Mr. Veblen came to visit every now and then, and the gifts he sent were many times more than the rent.
.I don’t know what attracted him to me, and he spent so much money on it. But thinking about it, Claude thought that Mr. Veblen was really discerning. After all, in three months, he would be promoted to the kingdom.
Major General will also succeed Marshal Michelchi and become the supreme commander of the theater.
Butler Yarick hurriedly greeted him and bowed slightly, "Sir, welcome home."
This butler was also recommended to Claude by Mr. Veblen. He was originally the butler of an earl in the royal capital. Three generations of his family have served the earl family. However, when he became the butler, he had very bad luck.
.Because the new head of the family who inherited the title of earl has not only been spoiled since childhood, but also has a very bad temper. He is self-righteous and cannot listen to the loyal advice of his subordinates.
As the new earl failed to make several smart investments, the family's business failed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then the earl gave up on himself and became addicted to alcohol. He drank all day long and complained about everything. As a housekeeper,
Yarick naturally wanted to persuade the new Earl to get back on his feet, but Tiantian's persuasion angered the Earl. He actually wrote a dictionary asking Butler Yarick to take his family and leave the Earl's mansion.
Unexpectedly, his loyalty would lead to such an end. Butler Yarick was so heartbroken that he simply signed up to immigrate to the overseas jurisdiction, and took his family across the ocean to the continent of Nubisia, where he settled under the jurisdiction of Amphiston.
The leader settled down, and he also found a job in Mr. Veblen's mineral resources company. After learning about his past, Mr. Veblen wanted him to be his butler, but Yarrick refused because
He only serves nobles.
So when Mr. Veblen heard that Claude was looking for a place to live for his family, he not only rented his villa manor on the shores of Lan Lake to Claude, but also recommended Alec to be the housekeeper here. Because Claude
Lord is a noble of the kingdom. Although he is an honorary baron, he is young and has a promising future, which is in line with Alec's expectation of serving the nobles.
Claude nodded and pointed to the carriage, "Is Mr. Veblen here?"
"Yes, he brought his wife to visit the old lady and Mrs. Kevney. The old lady was very happy and left them to have lunch. Mr. Veblen said that you will definitely come back today, so he was resting in the guest room in the afternoon. I saw him
I seem to have something urgent to discuss with you," Butler Alec replied.
"Well, let the kitchen prepare some food for us first. After we finish eating, I will clean up and then go to the study. You go and see if Mr. Veblen has rested well. If so, invite him to the study." Claudette asked.
He took off his coat and handed it to Butler Alec.
While Claude and Michael were dining in the restaurant, Kaifani came down the stairs from the hall and arrived at the restaurant. She was pregnant again now, and less than half a year after she came to Nubisia to visit relatives, Claude
De successfully enlarged her belly again.
"Why are you back today?" Kaifani asked in surprise.
Since the 131st Ranger Regiment was based in the town of Ferru in the direct jurisdiction of Rosbydo, Claude basically only went home once a month, staying for three days and then going back.
Claude stood up, kissed his wife's face gently, and said with a smile, "I won't go back. I will stay at home from now on. My troops will also be stationed in Lanhu Town."
"Really?" This is really good news for Kaifuni. After the two got married, they spent less time together and separated more. As Claude's military rank rose, he had less and less time to go home to visit relatives and get together.
This is completely different from what Kaifani imagined, where Claude returns home from retirement, the two live quietly together in White Deer City, have children, and she becomes a shrewd and happy housewife. She is now
Not only did she not become a housewife, she had to become a mother again, and she even had to learn how to be a good baroness at the same time.
Claude sat down again, "Of course it's true. By the way, where is Tesore?"
Tesore is the eldest son of Claude and Caifuni. He was born in the year 582 of the Holy Light Calendar. This year is the year, and he is already six years old. He is the most naughty and mischievous age. In addition, because of Gram
Lord rarely goes home, so Tesore, who has been doted on by his grandmother since he was a child, is not very close to his father, which makes Caifani a little distressed.
"He caught a wasp in the garden in the morning, and accidentally got a big bite on his hand. He cried for a long time. His mother sent someone to find Anna and came back to give him medicine to relieve the pain. After lunch, he felt
I went to bed too tired from crying," Kaifani said.
Claude didn't pay much attention to it. It was very common for boys to get injured when they were naughty and mischievous. This was what happened to him when he was a child. However, Caifuni was worried, thinking that a wasp appearing in the garden must be because there was a wasp nest somewhere nearby.
It will pose a great threat to Tesore. Ask Claude to send his guards to look around and find ways to eliminate this security risk.
Claude would like to say that the one who poses a threat to the hornet's nest is the naughty boy Tesore. If he is stung by a wasp, he will definitely find a way to take revenge. But he can't do anything about his wife Kaifni.
Full of tangles, she had no choice but to agree to let her guards search for the hornet's nest near the manor after dinner. Only then did Kaifani feel relieved.
After filling his stomach, Claude took a bath, then changed into casual clothes to welcome Mr. Veblen in the study. Changing into casual clothes meant that Claude did not regard Mr. Veblen as an outsider, but a closer person.
The friend gave Mr. Veblen a warm hug, and Claude smiled and asked him how he knew he would go home.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The news that Claude was summoned by Marshal Michelich to the Castle of Greno reached the ears of Mr. Veblen, and he knew that Claude would definitely come home. There was nothing on the front line during this period.
During the war, it was impossible for Claude to stay so close to home and not go back.
"Okay, my friend, just tell me what you have to say." Claude invited Mr. Veblen to sit down, and Butler Alec brought two cups of black tea before exiting the study and closing the door.
Mr. Veblen was also used to Claude's straightforward speaking style. He smiled and congratulated Claude, "My Lord Baron, first of all I have to congratulate you on your upcoming promotion to the rank of Major General of the Kingdom, and then on your succession to Michelchi."
The marshal serves as the supreme commander of the war zone. I came here uninvited this time, mainly because I have a few official matters and a private matter that I want to discuss with you."
Wocao, what's going on? Claude was stunned and said to himself that most of the Rangers didn't know this information. Where did Mr. Veblen get this inside information? Or is it because the theater command leaked something like this?
Sizi, what I just discussed with Marshal Micheli in the morning has been spread to the entire overseas territories by the afternoon?
Seeing Claude staring at him blankly, Mr. Veblen naturally knew why. "Don't be nervous, my Lord Baron. Ninety-nine percent of the people in the Amphiston Territory do not know this information.
And our information comes from the royal capital."
Claude breathed a sigh of relief. It's no wonder that he came from the royal capital. No one there regarded what happened in the overseas territories as top-secret information. The slightest news was brought up as an issue at the party to show that he was well-informed and popular.
The news that Marshal Michelich recommended himself to succeed him as the supreme commander of the theater, as well as the follow-up strategic plan he formulated for the overseas territorial theater of this colonial war, may have been submitted to King Hicks.
in front of.
"Do you also have sources in the royal capital?" Claude asked with great interest.
Mr. Veblen nodded, "Our Mining and Commerce Association has an office in the Royal Capital. Every year, the gold and silver ingots produced from the gold and silver mines in the Amphiston Territory must be transported to the vault of the National Bank of the Royal Capital.
So our people in the capital were very surprised when they heard the news that the Rangers were going to return to the kingdom, and that Marshal Michelich was going to step down. Because this is related to the safety of the Amphiston Territory and to us people.
net worth life
Through people from the Kingdom's Army Ministry, we learned that Marshal Michelci recommended you to become the new supreme commander of the theater. We also learned that after the Ranger Corps evacuates and returns to the Kingdom, you will be ordered to form five reinforced units in the theater.
divisions to deal with the intelligence of this colonial war.
The bottom line of the kingdom is that you must defend the Amphiston Territory. After our discussion, we believe that with your commanding ability, as the supreme commander of the theater, it is more than enough to defend the Amphiston Territory. So we are all relieved.
There is no need to give up the industry here because of this incident.”
Claude smiled bitterly, "You have great confidence in me."
Mr. Veblen laughed, "Of course, Marshal Michelich thinks you are a handsome man, and you are famous for your excellent offense in the Rangers. Even in the five years of the Eastern Region War, you once set a record with insufficient results."
He achieved a miraculous victory by annihilating and defeating more than 5,000 enemy troops with a large force of troops, for which he was awarded the Order of Knighthood."
"You have found out my details very clearly." Claude could only shake his head, "Okay, let's talk about your official business."
"That's right, Lord Baron, we already know that 100,000 families of retired soldiers will move to the Amphiston Territory as supplementary forces for the five divisions that will be reorganized in the war zone. Our Mining and Commerce Association's Henry
President Deman would like to discuss with you the distribution of these immigrants."
"Does your association have any bylaws?" Claude asked.
Mr. Veblen nodded, "The news from the royal capital is that these 100,000 immigrant families are planning to arrange for them to engage in agriculture and animal husbandry here. Our association hopes that some of these immigrant families can be enriched in the four mountain towns.
Become industrial workers and urban residents. After all, there are many positions in our mining and business associations that are not suitable for those Nikancha people to perform. In the past, there was no one to help, but now with immigrants, these problems can be easily solved.
In addition, it is possible to expand the number of kingdom residents in the four mountain cities, so that the entire city will not always see those messy Nikancha people wandering around. If this time the immigrants have the intention to engage in business, our association is also willing to provide low-interest loans to help them
Open for business. In addition, if immigrants are willing to settle in the four mountain towns, we are willing to provide free housing."
Population means wealth, and the mine owners and businessmen of these mining and business associations are shrewd and have made plans for these immigrants early on.
"I understand. I will find a time to discuss this matter with President Hindman. Of course, the premise is that the immigrants will move to the mountain city voluntarily, and no forced migration will occur." Claude
Gave an ambiguous reply.
Mr. Veblen nodded slightly. He knew that Claude could make such a statement for his own sake. "The second official matter is that our Mining and Business Association expresses its support for the war zone from the Kingdom's Ministry of War.
We were dissatisfied, so we decided to donate 100,000 gold crowns to the new theater to make up for the lack of military spending."
What? Donating 100,000 gold crowns for military expenses, these guys are really fat! Claude suddenly became enthusiastic and thanked him repeatedly. Didn't you hear the new war zone Mr. Veblen said?
It is clear that they want to flatter themselves and wait until they take office before donating this military expenditure of 100,000 gold crowns to support themselves. These are their own people.
