Chapter 397: The True Color of the Merchant (Repair)
Many decisions have always been made by Archduke Buck, but the Archduke cannot be replaced. At that time, he will only be wronged by the frontline commander Akmeser.
What puzzled the leader of the Yongye Army from top to bottom was that Akmesser knew this, but still worked diligently and meticulously to make suggestions for the Kingsley family and Archduke Buck, without any intention of planning for himself.
Are there really such selfless people in this world?
Only Akmesel himself knows this.
Archduke Buck was indeed on his way to Port Brothers.
Not only was he on the way to Brother Port, but he was also riding a large ship led by the Yongye Army, walking along the Jacob River, and was accompanied by Sean and the Regent Princess along the way.
Archduke Buck decided to go to Brother Port at this time because of many considerations.
Although the two parties have now signed a treaty, he was afraid of being cheated by the Yongye Army's leaders. He always felt uneasy and decided to go to Brother Port to take charge in person.
When the time comes when the leader of the Yongye Army tries to trick them, he must be cautious.
Killing a Byron Alliance Grand Duke in wartime and non-wartime are completely different things.
Why does the leader of the Yongye Army dare not reuse Di Kelong, a super commander who has experienced hundreds of battles?
No qualifications, these are all excuses to deceive oneself and others.
Ultimately, it was because he was carrying a murder case involving the Archduke of the Byron Alliance. Although he was only implicated, the trouble caused by using him was still quite big.
Now that they are just being taken in, Philip and Patram have protested to the Yongye Army leader again and again, trying to force the Yongye Army General Dikron, the war criminal who harmed the Manyu Army leader, to surrender.
Let them handle it.
It's just that they have too few means to pose a threat to the leader of the Yongye Army, so Sean doesn't care about them at all.
But Sean is now nominally loyal to the Princess Regent and is actively moving closer to the Byron Alliance. Of course, we must pay attention to the influence of this aspect.
But gold shines wherever it goes.
A capable person like Di Kelong will never be buried wherever he goes, let alone a new force like the leader of the Yongye Army who particularly values strength.
Although Di Kelong did not hold real power on the surface, his secret influence was always there.
The biggest battle ever fought by the Eternal Night Army, the Defensive Counterattack in the Swamp of Despair, was nominally the supreme commander of Sean. In fact, many of the orders came from Dikron.
The frontal conflict in the Defensive Counterattack in Swamp of Despair ended. After being transferred to the Politburo, Dikron disappeared once again. He was not hidden by the leader of the Evernight Army, but was sent to another battlefield - Andis.
On the east side of the mountain range, we went to assist the mountain Kentana barbarians, allies of the Yongye Army Leader, to stabilize the situation.
Judging from the news that came back from the past, Dikron is doing well now. In just a few months, he has won the respect of the Cliff clan from top to bottom. This is something that Ban Hebrew failed to achieve in a year.
of.
Ben Hebrew was indeed more politically savvy and more proficient in the art of flexibility than Dickron.
But the more such a person is, the harder it is to win the trust of a rough race like the Kentana savages in the mountains. On the contrary, it is easier to win the trust of a true-hearted person like Dikron who says, "If you treat me sincerely, I will repay you tenfold."
To win their favor.
Dikron has now begun to show off his power, sweeping through the entire eastern Andis Mountains, trying to integrate all the forces under one banner, and then compete with the Kentana barbarians.
Let’s get back to the main topic.
Another purpose of Grand Duke Buck is to take Golden Armor to Brother Port.
Compared with its peak period, the energy of Golden Armor is not even ten, but at critical moments, after all, it can play an inspiring role.
Against enemies like the undead soldiers of the Klein tribe, personal combat effectiveness is only one aspect, the most important thing is morale.
The reason why Grand Duke Buck dared to board the large ship led by the Yongye Army and take the Jacob River line was because the regent Princess Sophia was also on the ship and accompanied him as a guarantee.
Otherwise, Archduke Buck would really have to consider whether to get on the ship.
As for the regent princess, it was out of concern for the undead changes in the Klein tribe.
As a ruler, what he dislikes the most is such uncontrollable things, but this kind of thing cannot be controlled by personal will. If there is an opportunity to learn from experience, of course you must fully grasp it.
Originally, Prince Laurie wanted to join in the fun, but the Princess Regent vetoed it because there must be no one in the capital.
Although Sophia Liya has decided to delegate power and devote all her efforts to cultivating Prince Laurie, it does not mean that she will let him go immediately and let his temper run wild. Doing so will only harm him. She still knows this truth.
After entering the area controlled by the Yongye Army, the bustling scene on both sides of the Jacob River made Grand Duke Buck couldn't help but widen his eyes.
There is no hint of barbarian people here. The kind of stability and prosperity can only be seen in the most prosperous and wealthy areas of the Asia Minor plains.
If they are called barbarians, what is the territory under his rule?
The Kingsley family is indeed famous for their wealth, but they have sucked the blood of the entire military leader to raise them, not to mention the mining slaves who squat in the dark mines all day long.
Even the lower class people have a very difficult life. After working hard for a year, most of them will be exploited by the Kingsley family who control the food channels.
The Lancelot royal family used food to card the necks of the Kingsley family, and the Kingsley family used food to card the necks of the people in their own territory.
What the Lancelot royal family sold to the Kingsley family was high-priced grain, and what the Kingsley family sold to their own subjects was black-hearted grain.
The ordinary citizens of the Yongye Army Territory all look wealthy, so how wealthy must the ruler of this territory be?
A battle in the Swamp of Despair wiped out all the Kingsley family's years of accumulation, and the entire military leadership now had to tighten their belts.
Their opponent's territory was calm and unperturbed. How did they do this?
If you don’t compare, you don’t know. If you compare, you will be shocked.
If he had seen this scene before him, would he still choose to go to war with the leader of the Yongye Army?
Grand Duke Buck couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.
This time he hesitated and found it difficult to give an answer.
Although his heart was filled with turmoil, Grand Duke Buck had a calm look on his face.
On the contrary, the regent princess Sophie Liya was shocked and asked Sean repeatedly: "How on earth did you do this?"
Compared to Grand Duke Buck, Sophia Liya has a different feeling.
She had been here before the return of the Jacob River and knew what it looked like. In just a few years, the place had changed so much that she almost suspected that she had gone to the wrong place.
The former farmland has turned into rivers, the mountains have turned into terraces, and the endless inland lakes have turned into huge basins with countless villages and towns embedded in them.
The entire painting style has undergone a 180-degree change.
It's just that this scroll is too big, covering a territory of five or six hundred kilometers in length and breadth. As a ruler, she is very aware of the difficulty involved.
"This is not the credit of any one person, but the result of the concerted efforts of millions of soldiers and civilians led by the entire Yongye Army." Sean looked modest.
The surprise that could not be concealed on the face of the Princess Regent and the abnormal fluctuation in Archduke Buck's eyes showed that he was admiring Sean best, not to mention the sweet feeling in his heart, it was like dipping into a honey pot.
After all, this is the glory created by the power he created.
The current glory is not the pinnacle, but a beginning. Once the trouble of Brother Port is solved, the Yongye military leader without restraint will run at a speed that they can't match.
"What is this called?" the Princess Regent asked, pointing to the rows of huge waterwheels beside the terraces.
"This is a waterwheel automatic irrigation system. Once built, it can turn the land on both sides of a mountain range into fertile farmland. What you see is only part of it. There are also water pipelines on the top of the mountain. Follow the mountain ridges to transport them.
Go to the place where water is most scarce." Sean didn't hide it because he was guarding Archduke Buck.
Basically, there is nothing that the Yongye Army leads on both sides of the Jacob River that needs to be kept secret.
At the construction site, Yongye Military Leader had planned everything. All arsenals, shipyards and other sensitive industries and manufacturing plants were located deeper in the mountains.
There are two main reasons for doing this.
First, for the sake of strategic depth, it is convenient to place it in the Jacob River, but once the Twin Cities or the Death Channel are lost, they are very vulnerable to fatal blows, so it is better to bury them deeper from the beginning.
Second, the Yongye Army can block the Jacobs River and the Donau River for a while, but it cannot block them for a lifetime. With the rapid development of the Army, economic exchanges with the outside world are getting closer and closer, and the Jacobs River and the Donau River are opened.
This water route is a matter of time, sooner or later.
Instead of time-consuming and laborious relocation, it is better to plan the layout from the beginning and save manpower and material resources.
As soon as Sean finished introducing Sophia Liya, he started selling to Grand Duke Buck, "His Majesty's territory is also filled with criss-crossing hills. It is also suitable to build this kind of irrigation system and reclaim those mountains into fertile fields."
, if the Grand Duke needs it in the future, you can contact us and we will undertake the construction task at the best price."
"Thank you, Lord Baron, for your kindness. I will seriously consider this proposal." Archduke Buck replied perfunctorily.
At this moment, Archduke Buck had a deeper understanding of Sean's nature as a businessman. Anything that came out of this guy's mouth could be turned into a deal.
But I have to admit that the automatic water wheel irrigation system of the Yongye Army is indeed quite creative and can turn the mountains into fertile farmland. The Carter Army also really needs such a tool.
But he has seen it now. It is nothing more than countless waterwheels put together. There are craftsmen in his own territory who can build them. Why do he have to give money to the leader of the Yongye Army?
According to the greedy nature of the other party, the best price mentioned by Sean is also a sucking blood from the Kingsley family.
"I'm waiting for the good news from His Excellency the Grand Duke." Sean smiled and didn't press on.
Archduke Buck's thoughts could not be hidden from him.
It’s just that there is an idiom in this world that says: A person with high vision has a low hand.
The water truck automatic irrigation system led by the Yong Ye Army looks like a bunch of water trucks lined up and then it's done.
But when they actually start construction, they will find that things are not that simple.
It involves geographical planning, geology, hydraulics, etc.
If the planning is not good and a large-scale landslide occurs within a few days after all the hard work is done, it will be back to before liberation overnight.
The Yong Ye Army Leader also suffered a lot from this at the beginning. Not only was a lot of manpower and material resources wasted, but there were even quite a few safety accidents. The person in charge of this project was almost beaten to death.
When Grand Duke Buck discovered that the manpower and material resources required to build it by himself were far higher than the cost of hiring the Evernight Army Leader, he knew what to choose.
"What is that?" Sofilia asked, pointing to the huge building coming towards her.
This building is the most majestic and solemn single building she has ever seen since entering the territory of the Yongye Army. The entire mountain has been transformed into a part of the building.
The most unique thing is that this mountain is in a state of carving. Although only a vague outline appears, it is certain that the ultimate goal of this mountain is to turn into a human statue.
There is no need to say who the humanoid statue in the Evernight Army is based on. Who else has this qualification except his first-hand founder?
"That's the Hall of Heroes. It's the place where the corpses of the soldiers who fought against the Eternal Night Army are placed." Sean replied with a solemn expression.
Sophia Liya's expression couldn't help but become serious, and she sincerely praised: "Hall of Heroes, a good name, a good place, it is no coincidence that you are able to get to where you are today."
The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.
This principle is universal.
The people's livelihood, economy, military, and sacrifices of the Yong Ye Army Leader can be said to have been established in everything. How could such a force not rise?
In addition to admiration, Sophia Liya could not hide her excitement.
Don't forget that her relationship with Sean has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is very possible that she can become the mistress of this territory.
So big that all she needed was a nod.
Yes, there are indeed many obstacles between her and Sean.
If she announces their relationship to the public now, countless clowns will jump out and jump up and down to criticize her.
But this kind of criticism is purely motivated by interests.
If she gives up her status as regent princess and the corresponding fiefdom, all opposition will not only die down, but may even undergo a 180-degree change, and everyone will send her a favor.
According to the current development momentum of the Yong Ye Army Leader, as long as the Despair Swamp side is stabilized and the food output is stable, the dependence on her fiefdom will become smaller and smaller.
The most important thing is that the Yongye Military Leader is a brand new force. There is neither the Holy Ether Church nor the intricate aristocratic forces here. The policies implemented are brand new policies that are even more advanced than the original New Deal.
Once you become the mistress of this territory, doesn’t everything belong to you?
Why didn't I think of this before?
If she had thought of it earlier, according to her nature, she would never wait for Sean to see his true intentions, and she would have taken the initiative long ago.
The chance of a strong woman like her marrying for love is very slim.
If Sean was just an ordinary baron without the support of the Eternal Night Army Leader, he would really become the farmer's son in the story of wishful thinking, and the idea of marrying the princess would be an outright joke.
Just like the question raised by Sophia Liya, when there is no chance for both parties to get close, how can there be mutual attraction? How can there be love?
Of course, this is only the last choice. Even if there is a slight possibility, Sophia Liya will not give up her territory easily. If she does this, doesn't it mean that she has surrendered? Let those bastards get their wish?
Not only will she not let go easily, but she can also do something with it.
Sean had a puzzled look on his face, because he could clearly feel that deep in the eyes of Sophia Liya looking at him, there was a subtle change that only he could understand. It was the spring feeling deep in love. If there were no outsiders present,
I'm afraid that it has stirred up thunder and fire, and it will be out of control.
He didn't know that there were so many waves in Sophia's heart, which further promoted the relationship between the two.
"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke." Sean's humble look made Duke Buck beside him have the urge to kick him.
Being modest is hypocrisy. Their luck rests on the bones of the Kingsley family.
The convenience of the line between the Jakob River and the Donau River impressed Archduke Buck a lot.
Geographically, Yongye Military Leader does have a unique advantage.
Defend, they can rely on the Andis Basin to form a small world of their own, impregnable.
Attack, Jakob Jiangxi advances, and the Donau River flows southward, flowing unimpeded.
No wonder the Ancient Andis Empire, which once ruled the entire Ashan Continent, placed its base here.
It’s no wonder that the regent princess Sophilia is determined to side with the Yong Ye Army Leader. She sees a deeper meaning in the Yong Ye Army Leader.
This realization made Archduke Buck look even more melancholy.
