Macho Wars

"Narthas, what do you think?"

"His Royal Highness, I think it's best to do business as usual at this time."

"Be calm, right?"

"Yes."

The staff named Narthas finished speaking and stopped speaking.The two silently glanced at each other, and Feravi's face gradually showed a satisfied smile...

Chapter 378: Prisoner

In the imperial capital, Sidney XIV became ill with a fever shortly after returning to the palace. Fortunately, the imperial doctor treated him in a timely manner and his condition was quickly under control.

But after all, the old emperor is old, and his body's recovery ability is far less than that of young people. So for the sake of his health, the imperial doctor told the old emperor to let him stay in the palace for a period of time. During this period, it is best not to be close to women.

Although Sidney XIV, who knew the situation, had a hundred reluctance in his heart, he had to agree for his own fate.

During the recuperation period, Howard visited him several times and reported the reactions of the outside world and the princes to this incident.The old emperor didn't care about the thoughts of the nobles, but the reactions of his grown-up sons were really intriguing.

Some rushed back to the imperial capital to express their concern, some took the opportunity to pour dirty water on other brothers, and some were secretly happy. Only his eldest son Philavit was the most calm, just sending a telegram to the imperial capital. , To express concern for his father as a son.

Calm but not flattering, calm but not indifferent!

The old emperor couldn't help but nodded. There are many talents among his sons, but the most decent one belongs to Firavi.Had it not been for this kid to confuse with the Southern faction in private, Sidney XIV might have established him as the prince.

The so-called "southern faction" are basically the forces that defeated the nobles in the battle for the empire's previous generation of crown princes.After Sidney XIV ascended the throne, they were gradually expelled from the central circle, deliberately scattered and dispatched to all parts of the country.

Among them, these losers entrenched in the south of the empire are the most popular. Although they are not very popular with the emperor, as a political force, they have an influence that cannot be underestimated.

At the beginning, Firawi was transferred to the Southeast Military Region, and he immediately found these guys and gained support from the other side.

But when the old emperor learned of this, he was not happy because of Philavi's outstanding political skills.

Because the aristocratic forces of the southern faction quickly did not deal with the old emperor, they controlled some local power and capital, set up many newspapers and magazines, and attacked the emperor and the various policies of the central government in the name of "reviewing current affairs." .

The most wicked thing is that from time to time, he would publish some romantic affairs about Sidney XIV in some shady newspapers and magazines, and pour "peachy dirty water" on him. The old emperor treated these The tabloids hate it.

You said that I am romantic, I admit it!

But you can't use vulgar language to portray Lao Tzu as a boar who is in heat for 24 hours?

Sidney XIV was very afraid that one day he would belch, and these southern nobles returned to the central government. They were afraid that they would have to blackmail themselves severely in the official history books.

And because he couldn't grasp the right handle, the old emperor never caught the opportunity to punish these guys severely.I was also afraid that pushing them too hard would cause the whole aristocratic power to rebound, so I could only endure with gritted teeth.

Filavi, who was still very young at the time, didn't figure out this joint. Although he united with the Southern Sect to strengthen his power, he also made the old emperor unhappy, and flatly reduced his impression score.

At the same time, on the palace side, because the old emperor was still having a low-grade fever and had to stay in the palace for a while, he did not visit Karen again during this period, but the strategy did not stop at the same time.

The old emperor took out the sentiment of the love saint and wrote a love letter by himself every day, and then attached a precious black rose, and sent the court attendant to Karen.

Facing the enthusiastic pursuit of the old emperor, Karen was not completely untouched in her heart, but more of it was at a loss.

She didn't want to deceive anyone, but for the millions of citizens far away she had to respond.

So after receiving the love letter for the first time, Karen also started to write a letter to Sidney XIV, but the content of the letter is not so much like a couple, but more of an exchange between younger and elders.

Fortunately, Sidney XIV didn’t mind this. He was even very happy that Karen was able to write a reply to himself, and believed that this was his masculine charm and strategy at work. Karen had already begun to accept him. .

On this day, after receiving the love letter from the emperor, Karen began to write a reply as usual.After writing it for a while, a maid came in and informed that Princess Alicia of the Empire had arrived.

These days when Karen came to the empire, Alicia was the one who visited him the most times except for Sidney XIV, but he had to come once or twice a week to walk and chat with her.

Soon, Alicia was led by the waiter to the palace living room.Karen found that her friend seemed to have been moisturized recently, and her mood and improvement were very good.

What made Karen faintly cared about was that Alicia was chatting with her this time, and Dragoon, who had always been talking about her in the past, suddenly disappeared from the topic.

Karen thought at first that the two young couples might have quarreled, but after a little trial, they found that it was not the case.Whenever she mentioned Dragon, Alicia blushed unconsciously, and then shyly changed the subject.

Although Karen was not a "comer", seeing Alicia's reaction, she almost guessed what happened between the two.

After the two good girlfriends met, they hugged intimately first, then Karen looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

"Ellie, although you often come to see me, it makes me happy, but how do I remember that you are the governor of the colony? Is it really okay to stay in the empire?"

"I think where I stay, it is not a problem for the colony."

Because of the need to participate in the National Day ceremony, Alicia can stay in China until the end of September at least.

And as a conscious "Vase Governor", Alicia knows that the daily operations of the colonial government are managed by the chief consul and his team, and it's not bad to be conscious.

Although this is not a glorious thing, at least Alicia can continue to stay in the country with peace of mind.

Alicia came here this time, as usual, mainly wanting to chat with Karen, introducing her to the customs of the imperial capital, and some recent anecdotes that happened outside.

It has been several months since Karen came to the imperial capital, but most of the time he stayed in the somewhat deserted royal palace.Alicia wanted to invite her out for a walk several times, but Karen lacked interest.

Because she was holding a thought of self-sacrifice, she traveled across the oceans to the empire, and subconsciously regarded herself as a prisoner, and this deserted imperial palace was a prison for her.

Chapter 379: The Fourth Class Want Money

After two weeks of the exercise, the impact on all walks of life in the empire gradually subsided. Although there were still some aftermaths in the dark, at least on the surface it was completely calm.

The holiday ban on several participating troops was finally lifted, and the officers and soldiers were finally able to go out on a regular rotation.However, not everyone has time for vacation on the First Marine Division.

Due to the outstanding performance of the 25th Division in the previous exercises and the operation of Howard and other bigwigs, the senior officials of the Imperial Army finally became interested in the so-called "new amphibious combat model" proposed by Dragon.

However, the vision of these powerful bosses is not low. It is obvious that they cannot be impressed by PPT alone. The First Marine Division needs to show some real things that can make people shine.

So the division commander Kane’s proposal was to simply pull out a battalion from their troops and give them a live demonstration.

After some research and comparison, everyone finally decided to delegate this glorious task to the Second Infantry Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

First, because the quality and experience of the officers and soldiers of the second battalion are indeed among the forefront of the entire division, and second, because the battalion commander of the second battalion is named "Abanel", and his father, Marquis Berrian Abanel, is the elder of the Empire The person in charge of the court supervising the financial appropriation.

Whether the Marines can ask for more funds from the Senate, it all depends on whether the master is willing to raise his hands high!

Speaking of it, Frank was in the colony at the beginning, but he did not hide the Marine Corps selection from his home.

Although his father Brian did not intend to let this young son inherit the title of the family, no matter what he said, he was his own flesh and blood. He still hopes that he can stand out and have a good future.

Therefore, after the rise of the colonial military district, Lord Marquis entrusted his old friends to send Frank to the New World.

Although they were not a military family, they were also the marquis of the imperial capital, and Perian was a high-ranking official with some real power in his hands.Frank himself is a high-achieving student of the Central Military Academy, and backed by the blessings brought by his family, it is naturally easy to get promoted quickly in the military.

If according to the arrangement of the Marquis, after Frank arrives in the colonial military area and survives his internship, his old friend in the army will arrange for Frank to go to a newly formed infantry division, starting with the position of deputy battalion commander, and it will take less than a year. Can be promoted to major.

It's a pity that because of the youth's unique rebellious psychology, Frank didn't want to take the "easy way" that his father designed for him, so he secretly signed up for the Marines.When the Marquis learned of his younger son's actions, he was furious.
