Chapter 521 [Self-Cutting Rights]
It doesn't matter if it's a trap, or if the wise Regent suddenly faints.
Anyway... the post of dean Dewey has been fixed. But Dewey's mind is still somewhat wary: at the beginning of the recent period, the Regent has begun to balance his constraints on the Imperial political situation, to nurture an Alpai General, in order to balance his family's uniqueness, and now... to hand over this future Imperial Military Academy to himself... what the hell was his idea?
Hard on himself, pretending to be holy on the stage, kissing Allou, pretending to quit the race to express his position and give up control of the Knights' Association and the Knights of Roland's Sword, that step backed off very well and, from many signs, the Regent King was pleased with his "knowledge”.
What the hell kind of "Huangpu Military Academy” is this now?!
——————————
However, a day later, Dewey realized he had become Prince Chen.
When the Camisillo Den Gate came to visit Dewey, and smiled and commanded the guard to move several large boxes of archives, and looked harmless to the livestock, he said to Dewey: "These are the curriculum vitae of successive training courses, as well as a list of some of the people qualified for training that our military is about to hold for the next training course… Oh, of course, it should now be called the" Imperial Military Academy ". These are the lists of the first cadets, all of whom were chosen by the local army. Their family, birth, age, family background, military position, seniority, everything you need is here anyway. Of course... the last box is about the preparation of some surveys on the construction of this college, including site selection, college construction, etc..."
Before Camisillo finished, Dewey's eyeballs stared out.
He stared dead at Camisillo and suddenly interrupted the guy. Dewey mumbled depressingly: “I knew it was you... No, it was you! Get on your thief boat. ”
Camisillo smiled very intimately: "Don't say that, Dewey, we're good friends. Friends are in trouble. You can't just not help. ”
Dewey looked at Camisillo smiling and suddenly an impulse appeared in her heart, wanting to jump and punch this guy in the nose! See if this guy can have such a good laugh after his nose is broken!
“Help? You called me... how the fuck do you want me to help!!” Though Dewey didn't really punch Camisillo, he jumped up like an angry lion, tucked up his sleeve, kicked over the closest box to himself, and forked his back to stare at Camisillo: “You... what do you think I am! Eight-handed spider! Am I busy? Holy shit! That damn tournament isn't over! And the Knights of Roland's Sword. I'm not done yet! And two days ago, your men came to me and approved a new shipment of military materiel for the Kabaski Line of Defense! And the Dragon Mountain Warcraft, told me that the ingredients at the hot air balloon production plant were insufficient, and asked me to solve a large batch of cowhide as soon as possible... I...”
“Hey hey hey!” Camisillo raised his voice and raised his hands as if he had surrendered: "My friend! Those things you said had nothing to do with me, and I didn't know you'd been busy like this. ”
“You don't know… our Regent knows.” Dewey whispered: “He did it on purpose.” Dewey kicked another foot, this time directly kicking a crate, the wood chips flying, several pieces even splashed on Camisillo's face.
Looking at Dewey clawing his teeth at Camisillo, several guards from Camisillo next to him were a little nervous - that's all right! Don't you dare do this to my lord!
Beat the Imperial Undersecretary of Military Affairs! What's the charge?
But the question is... the Duke of Tulip, whose status is better than that of his own lord... what about the guards?
If the Duchess really fights with our lord... then our few guards can only stare.
Camisillo suddenly sighed and took off a few pieces of wood chips from his face. His eyes were a little complicated. He glanced at several guards and waved down: “Get out first! ”
Several guards escaped as if they had been pardoned.
Camisillo turned around and closed the door first, so he turned around and walked over to Dewey's side, patted Dewey on his shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice: “Dewey, there are some things I may not be comfortable saying, but since we're friends... let me give you some advice. ”
“Say it." Dewey squeezed a word out of his mouth.
“You…” Camisillo was a little strange: “I think you, should, appropriately, put some power into it. ”
Dewey lifted his eyelids and glanced at Camisillo —— in his impression, this guy, though now hailed as one of the three newcomer kings of the Empire, um... although he is one of the three newcomer kings, currently seemingly the weakest. But in recent years, Camisillo this guy has been very low profile, both for the sake of others, deeply enlightened by Old Prime Minister Robustschel - glowing and hidden, Ming Zhe is conservative!
But today... why did he say the phrase "pull his heart out”?
“As you said, Dewey, you have too much power now.” Camisillo lowered his voice: “You see, you are in the hands of the northwest military junta. Of course, Desarrollo is your territory. It's yours. No one will say anything about that. But... what about the Northwest Independent... Hey, the outsiders don't know, I'm the deputy military secretary, don't I know yet? That's the future Air Force of the Empire! The Empire has laid out vast tracts of land, dispatched large numbers of personnel, formed such an army, built the production base of the hot air balloon, and produced weapons… this is the Empire's army. It's been almost two years since the Northwest Regiment was destroyed, and you've had this army for two years! Isn't that powerful enough? And the Kabaski Line of Defense, which you spent more than 10 million gold coins building for the Empire. What I said last time was not exaggerated. Now the Empire is very good for the military, almost equal to holding your salary from Dewey! So many things are in your hands... you say, is this normal? ”
Dewey calmed down and shook her head with a smile: "It's not normal. ”
“I say a very negative thing, Dewey, with the power and strength you have now, you want the land, the money, the army! If you wanted to rebel... your threat would have far surpassed that of the Northwest Legion!” Camisillo's divine colour is a little nervous: “Don't forget, the outsiders don't know, but the top secret military intelligence inside, we all know that when you wiped out the 70,000 main cavalry of the Northwest Legion, you only sent less than 10,000 cavalry of Lombardon and wiped out the iron cavalry of the Northwest Legion! How can you be comfortable with this kind of strength? ”
Camisillo watched Dewey's gorgeous change and then found himself a chair to sit down: “I admit that the last two years of the Empire were indeed in a bad financial situation, so bad that he was going to ask for money from your prince… But now that two years have passed, the most difficult financial period has passed. There are also savings in the Treasury, and everything is on track. The snowstorm in the South was gone, production went well for two years, and even the South had a good harvest. The Regent has performed fairly well over the past two years, and the Imperial financial savings have been considerably higher than in previous years. You think… in this case, the Empire no longer needs you personally to pay for the Empire's army! You know what I mean? ”
Dewey hummed and laughed twice: “I understand that when the Regent sent the Northwest Independent Division to my men, the first was because of the Air Force, and I was the only one in the empire who knew how to do it, and no one else could do it at all. Second, because the Empire did not have the money to build such a new army, it required me to pay for it. But now... neither condition exists. The Empire is rich, and, in two years, they've learned what they need to learn. ”
“I know you're a smart man.” Camisillo leaned against the chair and looked at Dewey with a smile.
Dewey closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
That's the way it is!
Though he had spent countless gold coins to subsidize the empire's finances, tens of millions of gold coins went out like running water - and helped the empire to feed its army for almost two years… so it seemed that the royal family would have to live up to its enormous human needs.
But don't forget! Prince Chen has passed the treason charge of avoiding the Rollin family and restoring the Rollin family. This matter has been repaid to Dewey! Moreover, Dewey was accorded full honor in his position.
That makes it even with Dewey!
And now, an air force that has been vetted during the war and proved to be very powerful in combat... such a new and powerful army, the royal family cannot continue to put it in Dewey's own hands, but should take it back and hold it in the royal hands, that is the truth!
This is not crossing the river to dismantle the bridge, nor to unload and kill donkeys, but a normal political means!
If you take a step back...
There's going to be a big war! And before the Great War, Prince Chen must elevate the majesty of imperial power to the highest! This will guarantee the royal dominion!
And now... if there is a war in the future, there will definitely be turmoil in the empire, and in turmoil, if there is a power like Dewey below, and there is too much power in his hands, who can guarantee that Dewey will not be dissident?
In other words, it is indeed time to guarantee internal unity, but for the royal family, their primary purpose is to guarantee the royal dominance! And as for the dead and alive, that is the second purpose, not the first!
The royal family will defend the empire with all its might and will not allow mankind to be exterminated by aliens, provided that mankind is under Augustine's royal rule!
Dewey is well aware that in his current situation, he is a standard "power minister”! And a superpower minister!
As Camisillo said, you need territory, you need financial resources, you need an army, you need fame (even in some places, your fame has surpassed that of the royal family).
But the problem is, this state of affairs, seemingly infinite scenery, is really “dangerous”!
Dewey, who has been familiar with the history of this world's continents, knows better, whether in this world or in his own past life. Almost all “Kwon Sen" in ancient China and abroad will end up miserable if they refuse to give up the power in their hands and must grab the power in their hands dead hands!
For example, the ancestor of the Rollin family, in the Patriotic War more than 200 years ago, had a great reputation in the army, was deeply trusted by the royal family, was rewarded with the entire Rollin Plains, and married a royal princess.
But after the war ended, the Rollins' ancestors gave up military power and direct command of the army on a smart initiative. This ensures that the Rollins are not hidden by the birds.
And Dewey knows better that in his previous life, in that world, almost all the power ministers in history, either end up plotting against success, or… are going to be miserable!
Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty... one was whipped and one was copied full of doors.
Of course, Dewey himself is not afraid, as his entity, if in the end he turns his face against the royal family, where can he not go? But what about his men, the loyal family members?
Lombardon, Gaida, Philip, Dardanelle… etc., these are not Holy Order Powers! They're just ordinary people.
Prince Chen is already a very wise monarch, but precisely because of his wisdom, he understands to devolve power to his subjects, but before responding to the crisis, he must take back many rights, at least to ensure that the power and strength of the royal family are the strongest! Before the turbulent times of the future, he must ensure that he has enough chips in his hands to defend the royal rule!
“I know, Dewey… you have made a great contribution to the Empire.” Camisillo sighed: “I understand how you feel, because if it were me, I wouldn't be happy. Calculate carefully, or even say that you have supported the Empire for half a mile! During the coup, you made great strides, and then settled the situation in the northwest, the West Lawn Wolf, masterfully plotted to eliminate the hidden dangers of the grasslands for the Empire, and did so many magical things to annihilate the Northwest Legion. In times of imperial financial difficulty, you selflessly feed the empire with the financial resources of your family… you can say that you are the first of the empire's time. There must be a grudge in your heart if you want to let go now. ”
Dewey looked at Camisillo with a sincere face, and suddenly he smiled and blinked at Camisillo: “Dear Camisillo... I guess you didn't come up with these words yourself to say to me. ”
Camisillo immediately stunned, his expression was a little embarrassing, but he laughed quickly, touched his chin, and he simply admitted: “I can't hide it from you... well, with my mind, I can't think of so many reasons. Speak clearly, there are many words, the old Chancellor said to me, please let me convey them to you privately, let me persuade you well. ”
Dewey, hey, hey, two laughs: "Lord Robustschel? Hey, looks like the Chancellor really cares about me. ”
“Of course.” Camisillo said seriously: “Dewey, go ahead. Lord Robustschel, I have even made it clear to you many times that in the future... his place will certainly be yours. He has high expectations for you, and he believes that you will be the pillar of the Empire. So... he doesn't want to see you on Kwon Sen's path. That's not a good result. As long as you take good control of the power in your hands, don't lose too much to reflect your values. Not too much, more will give rise to suspicion. Maintaining a delicate balance, then your life will be the most dazzling star of the empire's generation! ”
“Thank you." Dewey put it very seriously: "Thank you and thank the old Chancellor for me. Thank you for weighing in on me. Hmm... I must visit his elderly people another day to express my gratitude in person. ”
“So... you've been persuaded?” Camisillo blinked and smiled at Dewey.
Duvihaha laughed and stood up: “Of course! I was persuaded! Camisillo, you are such a great lobbyist. ”
Camisillo was so relieved, and he laughed, “You're actually smart, Dewey, and you don't need me to tell you this, and you can think of everything I'm saying... but you need to hear this from other people to give you an excuse to let go inside yourself. Besides... to be honest, I think the Regent has done a very wise job. At least, the status of Dean of this military academy is actually to give you the Tulip family an eternal death free card! ”
“Oh? How so?” Dewey moved in his heart.
“Think about it… you now hand over some of the powers in your hands to give the Regent complete peace of mind and complete confidence in you… you assume the post of President, think about it, in the years to come, there will be a group of emerging generals in the army of the Empire, all your disciples, you will not necessarily have actual military power in the army, but your prestige among these generals will certainly reach a difficult level of enterprise! At that time... say a bad word, even if you have committed any sin, as long as you are not in rebellion, the monarch will look to you in the face of this large number of generals in the military and be extraordinarily gracious to you! ”
Dewey nodded.
Think about it, this Dean's position is one of the gold medals the Regent gave himself! In fact, he told Dewey in secret: give up your power. As long as you have the status of Dean, as long as the Empire does not perish, you will be guaranteed the honor of your life!
Furthermore, it also dispels Dewey's anxiety about "the birds are all bowed up, the rabbits are dead, the dogs are cooked”!
As Dean, as long as Dewey does not rebel, he will be respected and used by the monarch throughout his life.
Duvihaha smiled and laughed with joy and ease: "Camisillo, now I am completely persuaded by you! No hesitation at all, okay, I will accept your suggestion, I will act in the next few days... um, yes, I suddenly came up with a new idea...”
“A new idea?” Camisillo stunned for a moment.
“Think carefully about the arrangements made by the Regent for me, for you and for General Alpai, who dedicated the three of us to a high position, at the age of the three of us, to say that in the coming decades, as long as we do not go the wrong way, all three of us will climb to a high position. But... if we're smarter, don't get too close. After all, you are the Secretary of State, the man in command of the Imperial Army! And I, if I were president of that military academy, would have superior prestige. My relationship with Alpai is already very rigid - which reassures the Regent. But your relationship with me... is inevitably a little too harmonious. ”
“Too harmonious… you mean. ”
“To reassure our Regent, my relationship with you is better still ‘rigid’. Oh, of course, don't hate me. Can we still treat each other as friends in our hearts, but, on the face of it, it's better to have a little argument. ”
Dewey stood up, raised her sleeve and walked to Camisillo.
Camisillo immediately stood up nervously and looked at Dewey with a bitter smile: "Hey, what are you doing? Jesus Christ... you don't want to... I mean, it's not necessary, right? You...”
Bang
After being stunned, a painful cry came from Camisillo.
A moment later, our Imperial Under-Secretary of State for Military Affairs, with his bloody nose covered, came out of the study of the Duke of Tulip, bleeding out of his fingers.
Camisillo had a strange look on his face, and waited for a few guards outside, more glaring.
“Go back." Camisillo laughed bitterly, touching a spa from her arms to wipe her bloody nose. A moment later, she screamed angrily: "Dewey, you broke my nose! ”
————————————————————
On this day, Lord Camisillo covered his bloody nose and rushed out angrily like the Duke of Tulip Hall, which was seen by many, and soon afterwards, the news spread throughout Tidu.
Less than a day later, in the aristocratic circle, most people knew about this novelty: the Duchess of Tulips and the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, Lord Camisillo, both of whom, due to military disagreements, fought hard and the Duchess of Tulips broke Lord Camisillo's nose with his own hands...
It now appears that the last of the three newcomer kings of the Empire, the last pair of friends, have also declared a rupture. From now on, the three new kings, I'm afraid, will all be in one party.
The first of two unknown things happened in the palace: Prince Chen smiled for a while after learning of the news, and even had two more drinks at dinner than on weekdays.
The second thing happened in the evening as well, but in the house of old Prime Minister Robustschel.
This old fox for the rest of his life, looking at his niece's son-in-law, looking at Camisillo's swollen nose, and the cotton stuffed in his nostrils, the old man smiled softly.
When Camisillo spoke with a strong nose, the whole conversation between the two of them in Dewey House today, including Dewey's last punch, after everything had been said.
When Dewey broke Camisillo's nose with a punch, the old Chancellor suddenly laughed with great pleasure.
This old man, who has been so high and deep all year, laughed so happily, as if he were a child.
Watching the old Chancellor smile so happily, Camisillo covered his nose and smiled bitterly: "I said, are you so happy to see me beaten? ”
“Yes, my child, I'm glad. ”
Camisillo sighed: "Well, I know what this means, and I know what Dewey meant, so what am I going to do next? Do you want me to show him the code to attack each other? ”
“No, no, no, no.” The old prime minister shook his head together: “When he attacked each other intentionally, the play was over. It was so fake. You don't deliberately have a military conflict with Dewey, and that makes you suspicious. You… in all future duties related to Dewey, as long as you keep business and impartiality, you can do it! Remember, to be impartial, do not deliberately embarrass him, and do not help him again as before! Just do what you have to do, everything according to the rules and regulations of the Empire is enough! ”
Camisillo nodded and stood up and walked away, mumbling in his mouth: "Damn, I'm going to change my meds, my nose hurts, I can't even drink. ”
As he watched his chosen agent of the family go out, Robustschel's eyes gradually drifted away...
“A real punch… what a smart and funny kid! ”
The old prime minister smiled and commented.
——————————————————
Just after Dewey held the high profile position of Dean of the "Imperial Military Academy” - which, of course, does not yet exist - the Academy will set up the framework as soon as possible in the short term, and young officers drawn from local armies will report to the Empire within the next month.
In addition, there is one more thing…
Just after a regular meeting at the Palace, the Duke of Tulip took the initiative to ask the Empire to withdraw its military authority over the “Northwest Independent Division" on the grounds that it was “financially strained”. Since then, all salaries and supplies for this army have been borne exclusively by the Empire's finances, and the Tulip family no longer provides any sponsorship for this army.
Moreover, Dewey stated that it was no longer meaningful for the army to remain in the northern part of its territory and that it would consume food from Tessagong province, where food production was already low.
The Regent answered this request with pleasure.
The Northwest Independent Division will be pulled out as soon as possible and relocated to an imperial new military fortress south of the Kabaski line of defence. The order was issued from the Imperial Commander on the same day.
In addition, there is one other thing… the Empire's largest official hot air balloon production plant.
Dewey said he was asking to sell his share of the hot air balloon production plant because of his family's “financial constraints” and the need for large amounts of liquidity for other industrial businesses in his name!
For this matter, the Regent considered allowing it after a day.
Soon after, Count Dewey and Count Villa, as well as the Darren Mountain Warcraft, reached an agreement between the two families. Count Billia and the Darren Mountain Warcraft jointly paid 11 million gold coins and bought Dewey's share. Since then, the Tulip family has had little control over this hot air balloon production base.
Of course… because Dewey's territory is closest to the grasslands, the cattle and sheep fur required by the hot air balloon production base still have to be bought through Dewey's channel, at the price of the Empire's official price.
Two orders, Dewey easily handed over the two great powers in his hand.
Though there is still some hidden discomfort in the mind, Dewey is clear: this is politics. As Prince Chen, he was right to do so, and he gave Dewey some benefits, at least the post of Dean of the Military Academy, which has given Dewey a great deal of honor and insurance.
After handling these two things, in the palace, Prince Chen was in a great mood. In the next few days, the guards and servants around him could feel his good mood from the smile on the king's face.
As for Dewey, he can shift his energy to the final of this tournament!
The finals of the Martial Arts Convention are about to begin… The two sides of the showdown are…
Eloo, there's more...
