"Although the colonies in the New World have a land area of nearly 40,000 square kilometers, which is four times the size of the mainland, their economic conditions are completely incomparable. At the time, they should be considered a failure. Fortunately, the new land and resources are abundant, and there are
With the advantage of growing spices, the royal family is still wealthy, and they have confiscated several plantations, mines and other industries owned by the rebels in the New World. It can be said that the food is full of food. This supports the power of the Kingdom of Emsdan for decades.
It is very stable, and the domestic people's support rate for the royal family is also very high. Especially the immigrants who are also members of the Zeman people who have immigrated from the Old World in recent years. For them who are used to living a hard life, the Kingdom of Emsdan
It is simply paradise. Compared to the capital-dominated White Eagle Federation and the countries in the central and southern continents headed by the Sbanian and Bolduga races, the small island country of Emsdan has become an immigrant from the northern countries of the Old Continent.
first choice.”
John was thinking secretly in his mind, analyzing the situation of the kingdom that he would take over in the future.
“This also caused Emsdan’s national strength to prosper in the past few decades after losing its local essence. Relying on sufficient population and resources, as well as the relationship with the Old World to develop maritime trade, Emsdan has caught up with the former commercial kingdom period.
It has become one of the richest countries in the three continents of the New World. Although Green Island is rich, it is Brooke's colony. In addition to supplying the kingdom's finances, the remaining large amounts of oil and water are used to enrich a large number of colonial officials and those behind them.
The Brooke dignitaries and the locals are just a little rich with food and clothing. Although the White Eagle Federation and Santis are large, it is precisely because of the drag down of most barren areas in the country that the overall per capita wealth is not as high as that of Emsdan.
It’s much higher, or much worse.”
"And with enough hard-working Zeman immigrants as outstanding soldiers, the royal family learned the lesson of not paying attention to military affairs and cultivated an army of 200,000 people and a navy of thousands of people. In the field of domestic shipping
There are also tens of thousands of sailors who can be transformed into naval soldiers for combat at any time. It can be said that it is definitely a regional power. The comprehensive quality of the soldiers can reach the first-rate, bottom, second-rate, and top level in the old continent. In terms of military strength, it is only ranked second to Santis.
After the Empire, it ranked second in the New Continent. Even the White Eagle Federation, which is known as the most powerful country in the New Continent, does not want to ask for trouble and go to war with Emsdan. After all, in addition to its land area, developed economy and rich resources, the Silver Federation also
There is nothing to show for it, and their army has always been called the belly army."
As a graduate of Rodriguez College's military science, John has seen a lot of the White Eagle Federation's army, so he naturally understands what the Federation's army looks like.
In terms of the military, during the War of Independence, both the army and the navy of the White Eagle Federation were suppressed by the countries of the Old World. If Franz had not brought his own dry food, money and efforts, the descendants of the exiles and criminals would not have been able to defeat Brooke.
Successfully established an independent country, and it is still Brook's Northern Territory Colony. However, the gangsters of the White Eagle Federation sold Franz out, which directly caused the disintegration of Franz's Second Empire and became the current Franz.
The Republic of Lantz, and lost two of the largest and most fertile colonies in the northern part of the New World, allowing the White Eagle Federation to take advantage.
"I heard that Santis's army has good combat effectiveness, but the domestic situation is a bit complicated. It may be able to defeat Emsdan with its numerical advantage, but for an army of the same number alone, the overall quality is definitely better than that of Emsdan.
The Mosdan soldiers are even better."
After analyzing the current situation, he felt that Emsdan still had great potential, and the situation he faced was far better than he imagined. John's mood improved accordingly.
"It seems that His Majesty William III, this cheap uncle, has left me a lot of wealth!"
After asking the family guardian a few more questions, and after Thelma finished answering, it was almost getting dark.
The head maid of the Princess's Mansion got up and left to make arrangements for dinner. The Princess's Mansion was a little different from other nobles, because Her Royal Highness the Princess liked to live here except when she was doing experiments. At other times, she lived with her husband in Sai.
In the Bole Manor, and the palace guards patrolled outside the princess's mansion when they were on duty, there were only maids and no guards in the mansion. Thelma, the head maid, was equivalent to the head of the princess's mansion who had the duties of an internal and external housekeeper.
housekeeper.
John was teasing Sebastian, this unusual black cat, while thinking about the bloodline inheritance ceremony and the problems faced by the trial mission.
He discovered that the character of this extraordinary astral civet cat was not much different from that of ordinary house cats, probably because it had been raised by humans since childhood.
The difference is that ordinary domestic cats can be teased with cat teasing sticks and food, but this one requires John to use his psychic powers to tease him before he can play with him.
John, who had only raised dogs in his previous life and liked the police dogs in the police station, was actually somewhat curious about small animals like cats. After all, it is said that men are coquettish when it comes to raising dogs and are coquettish about raising cats. A character like his is one of those very cute ones.
A dull type, except for occasionally joking with acquaintances and friends, some thoughts and complaints are kept in his own heart.
After teasing the little black cat for a while, John thought that there were such existences as ancestral spirits in this world, but he just didn't know if the tricks from his previous life would work in this world?
So before it was time for dinner, John went to the head maid of the Princess Mansion again and made his request.
Although Selma the Blood Eye was a little surprised by John's request, she still arranged the manpower according to what he said. After all, it was not an excessive request. For the mansion of a princess of a country, this matter can be easily accomplished.
Soon night fell and it was time to hold a ceremony for John.
John followed the eldest princess, his wife and the blood-eyed girl who was the family guardian to the depths of the Hanting Palace, opened the secret door and entered an underground passage.
The exit of the passage is a large secret room like an underground mausoleum.
His Majesty King William III, with all white hair and beard, was already waiting there.
Thelma had also explained to him before that in addition to being presided over by living people, the bloodline inheritance ceremony also required the assistance of the family's ancestral spirits.
Because the ancestral spirits of this world avoid the relationship between the secular gods and the church, there is no way to hold fair and honest sacrifices. They can only praise their names and write them into historical books to gain the power of faith. It can be said that every person
All ancestral spirits hope to be promoted to true gods, and the King of Knights, the former emperor of the empire, is the most successful example.
Because although ancestor spirits are not ghosts, but exist like heroic spirits, most of them live in the lower realms such as the underworld and are still affected by sunlight, so activities such as worshiping ancestor spirits are usually held at night or underground.
The process of the ceremony was not convenient for the black cat to accompany him, so Sebastian reluctantly left John only under Thelma's persuasion.
