In the Name of the Queen

In the spring of 1794, no old man drew a circle in the North Sea, but a group of senior overseas officials standing in Emre Port were looking forward to the most distinguished guest.

This guest was none other than Roland, the head of the Royal Knights and governor who had fought side by side with them, and the current vice emperor who enjoyed the title of Caesar.

In the past year, the political arena of the empire has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The cabinet left by the old emperor was almost wiped out.

Their public crime was treason.

Except for three or four people such as William and Alban who continued to stay in office, all other members of the original cabinet were sentenced to death or forced to retire early.

After Queen Sylph officially ascended the throne, her governance style can be described as vigorous and resolute.

She was ruthless in cracking down on dissidents and spared no effort to expand her influence overseas, but she was still a little gentle to the grassroots people in China.

In the past year, she almost transplanted all the successful experiences of the four overseas provinces to the mainland.

Promote compulsory education, attach importance to industry, encourage trade, improve military treatment, and cut redundant soldiers.

Qualified land forces were recruited from workers and peasants, and the army was reorganized and expanded with the Knights and overseas legions as the backbone.

Not only that, the imperial shipyards were working around the clock to digest the oak from the Kingdom of Oden. In addition to this batch of sailing battleships, ironclad ships built with new technologies and new drawings were also continuously launched.

Although Her Majesty has only been on the throne for a year, the atmosphere in the empire has been completely renewed, and the old empire has regained its second spring and looks full of vitality.

Everyone knows that to achieve such results, the wisdom of the queen herself is certainly important, and the man who stands behind her and silently pays may be more important.

However, Roland is too successful to shock the lord.

People like him in history books are unlikely to have a good result.

People are also wondering how the queen will treat Roland.

Will she continue to reward or simply let Roland disappear?

While many people were watching and making a fuss, officials in the four overseas provinces never doubted it.

Tsk, who can't see the relationship between Her Majesty and Roland?

That is the standard couple.

Although some people are worried that the queen will destroy the Great Wall, they are more looking forward to being the guests of honor at the queen's wedding.

Just as some people are suspicious and some are looking forward to waiting, Queen Sylph suddenly announced an explosive news in the New Year of 1794.

Roland won the honorary title of Caesar.

Everyone was stunned.

Some people didn't even know what Caesar meant, and hurried to the library to find the answer.

It turned out to be the vice emperor during the Magic Empire.

In the history of the Magic Empire, Caesar is not only an honorary title, but also a deputy emperor with real power. There is even a record of Caesar replacing the orthodox emperor to ascend the throne.

The queen's absolute trust in Roland dispelled the fantasy of speculators.

Don't think about it, their relationship is good, there is no gap, and the fly can crawl as far as it can.

Roland becoming Caesar also completely dispelled William and Alban's struggle for the power of the prime minister.

Before, both of them used the left and right as a stage, eager to make enough achievements to let the queen resume the position of prime minister.

Although they respected Roland, Roland had no official position after all, and sometimes he could not suppress them and the cabinet's restlessness.

This cabinet was the new team of the Queen, and it would not be easily replaced without special reasons.

This is how politics works in a big country. If it is not absolutely necessary and certain, it is better not to move than to change it at will.

Every change may change the fate of thousands of people.

Governing a big country is like cooking small fish, and you must be cautious.

In order to calm the cabinet and quell the disputes, Sif brought up the old matter again and asked Roland to serve as the deputy emperor again.

Her reason was simple. Setting up a deputy emperor did have hidden dangers in the long run, but there were more benefits in the short term.

If they could not concentrate the power of the whole country and could not suppress Sophia, they would have no future.

The hidden dangers of the future will be left to them or their descendants in the future.

Believe that you will have enough wisdom tomorrow.

Roland was going to refuse, but was blocked by Sif's words.

"Tomorrow's troubles belong to those who have tomorrow."

Her meaning was very clear. The moment of decisive battle was approaching, and now the huge machine of Sussex had to be put into operation to have a chance.

As for how to eliminate the sequelae, let's survive first.

Sophia disappeared.

She has never appeared since she entered the Arctic glacier one spring. The Vladimir Empire has been running on its own for two years without the guidance of the queen, and many problems have occurred in the huge empire.

This is Sif's opportunity, but it is probably a trap.

Roland and Sif don't believe that Sophia will suddenly disappear.

The return day is approaching, and there is no reason for Sophia not to appear.

They must be prepared to meet this big test.

Roland did not refuse, the title of Caesar is indeed very important.

The empire has gradually formed two major blocks, the mainland and overseas. With the four overseas provinces officially enjoying the treatment of the mainland provinces, the overseas faction has also become a powerful political force.

The overseas faction not only has calm and capable cabinet members like Athos, but also many backbone forces like Dai Long and Bridges, and new forces such as Raikkonen and Jess.

They are not too powerful now, but their growth momentum is rapid, and even cabinet members dare not underestimate them.

The overseas faction knew that its foundation was weak, and its words even hinted that the queen would ascend the throne overseas, and she was the biggest backer of the overseas faction.

In addition, Caesar Roland was also a leader of the overseas faction.

He is the governor of Northern Rodinia, and he is an overseas faction!

As Caesar, Roland can make decisions on behalf of the emperor on many occasions.

For example, overseas.

Before the decisive battle begins, Sif will stay in the imperial capital to coordinate the interests of all parties. The only person she can fully trust and can perfectly execute strategic decisions is Roland.

Although the imperial teacher Walder has the same trust as Roland, he is old after all.

The queen really couldn't bear to let him continue to work hard, so she let him retire with the highest salary and only retain the title of senior adviser.

If there are major events in the country in the future, the queen will discuss with him.

If not, then he can enjoy his old age.

Of course, although his fiefdom is overseas, the queen did not urge him to leave the imperial capital.

With the teacher around, she felt more at ease, after all, Roland was going to sea again.

He was going to the four overseas provinces to continue to stir up a bloody storm.

Governor Roland is back!

The officials of the four overseas provinces were all excited and looking forward to it.

Governor Roland was their benefactor.

He had been overseas for just over a year, and he had let Athos and Aramis enter the cabinet. Other officials also received considerable rewards, and their promotion speed was like a rocket.

However, after Roland returned to the imperial capital, the promotion speed of overseas officials slowed down a lot.

The overseas officials felt sad, but they did not dare to complain that Roland had forgotten them.

They could only hope that Roland would come back soon.

What you think will be answered. Their piety moved the heaven, and finally sent their governor back.

Also returning were the two huge fleets of the Fourth and Fifth Fleets and more than 100,000 elite central troops.

Such a large-scale army must not be escorting Roland alone, but has a bigger plot.

Porthos was so anxious waiting at the dock that he finally saw black smoke at the end of the horizon.

"It's the flagship of the governor!"

Compared with Caesar and the earl, officials in the four overseas provinces prefer to call Roland the governor.

Although this is not Roland's highest position, it is intimate.

Porthos was in high spirits and his breathing was a little rapid.

Athos and Aramis had both successfully joined the cabinet and become powerful high-ranking officials. They had already reached the ceiling of the ministers, but he was the only one who fell behind.

There was no way. The number of cabinet seats was limited, and his performance score was behind his two old friends, so he had to stay overseas.

In order to comfort his injured mood, the queen deliberately gave him her concurrent position as deputy governor.

Although Porthos was grateful for the queen's generosity, he was also a little disappointed.

He also wanted to make progress.

Unfortunately, the opportunity would never come again if it was missed.

He originally thought that he would rot overseas, but he didn't expect that his great benefactor Roland would come again.

Thinking of Roland's current tremendous power and Caesar title, his silent heart began to stir again.

He knew very well what kind of subordinates Roland liked, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect them.

Fortunately, he had not relaxed over the years and continued to promote the construction of the governor's jurisdiction according to the policies left by Roland, and it was very effective.

It took a full hour from the black smoke of the flagship appearing on the horizon to Roland landing on the dock.

This was also the most anxious month for Porthos.

He was looking forward to Roland coming back to take him to drink soup, but he was also afraid that he would not be able to drink this soup with peace of mind. He was even more afraid that Her Majesty the Queen sent Roland overseas just to rectify stability.

Just as he was worried about gains and losses, the salute was fired.

Porthos's heart finally settled down.

There were a total of 20 salutes for the welcome, which was also his request.

As we all know, most countries have a maximum of 21 salutes for welcoming guests. Among them, 21 salutes are for welcoming heads of state, and 19 salutes are for welcoming heads of government.

Although Roland is the vice emperor, it would be excessive to fire 21 salutes directly, and the governor would definitely not like it.

If 19 salutes were fired, it would be a bit impolite.

Roland's status is much higher than that of the prime minister.

In the end, he could only compromise.

Seeing Roland stepping onto the dock with a gentle smile, Porthos breathed a sigh of relief.

He won the bet.

The governor is still the original governor.

Porthos hurried over, and saw the golden scepter in Roland's hand from the corner of his eye, and his heart trembled.

That was the scepter representing the emperor's authority, and Her Majesty the Queen did not carry it when she left the imperial capital.

His expression was a little stiff, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something between him and Roland.

Just when he was a little depressed, Tony, who was standing beside him, smiled and reminded him:

"Porthos, don't be depressed yet. Think about it, if you just go back to the governor's jurisdiction, is it necessary to carry Her Majesty's scepter?"

"And look at this huge fleet, guess how many soldiers it can carry?"

Although Porthos likes to brag, he is definitely not a waste without real materials.

His fat body trembled, and he understood Tony's implication.

Her Majesty the Queen sent Roland, who she trusts most, with the golden scepter and such a huge fleet, which must not be a joke.

He knew very well that the empire was going to make a big move.
