Pirate Kingship

The church reacted quickly and made a decision immediately after catching the ripples that the [Crown] had stirred up in the sea of ​​human collective subconsciousness.

At this time, the war on the other side of the sea had just ended.

The marine subhumans and imperial soldiers counted the spoils one by one in Dolphin Bay, set up a simple camp, and curled smoke rose.

After today's battle, the soldiers were too tired. In addition to the wine and meat tonight, the official celebration banquet was scheduled for three days later. Representatives from all human forces in the Corridor of Truth would attend.

If possible, [Cleopatra] would also try to promote the establishment of a federation among human countries.

With the southern front-line countries as the basic base, the "Civil and Civil War" was launched to recover all 50 countries and regions in the northern part of the continent.

Byron and Violet did not live on the island. They had a portable kingdom of God and did not have to wrong themselves.

Violet dragged all the whale oil-powered warships seized from the major old god churches in this battle back to the "Golden Mist Palace" and started a new research topic overnight.

Although most of these warships have been damaged in the fierce battle, it is a huge sum of money just to dismantle the various extraordinary materials in them.

Moreover, this [Queen of War] relies on her own [Creation] and [Craftsman] priesthood. As long as she dismantles it casually, this large war wonder will no longer have any secrets for her.

The girl opened her artificial body and transformed into a mechanical girl. Her long silver hair was free from gravity and moved automatically without wind. It fluttered in the air like dense seaweed, and her computing power was fully activated.

In his blue eyes, countless data streams composed of character formulas flashed like waterfalls, and he reported to Byron beside him:

"These whale oil warships are no longer worth repairing.

In my opinion, their design concepts and technical reserves are too crude, and many technical difficulties are overcome by relying on extraordinary materials and krypton gold.

Even the key propellers are driven by the "vortex array", which is really arrogant!

The efficiency of the whale oil power furnace directly converting into mechanical energy is too low, and the input-output is not proportional. The combat effectiveness of a single warship is only one level higher than our pre-dreadnought at most.

If we let them join the navy, we need to prepare another set of logistics systems, which is completely not worth the loss. It is better to dismantle them and recycle the materials.

For example, those large-caliber alchemical artillery can be equipped on the [Golden Deer] and assimilated into part of the legendary warship to make up for the deficiency that the sailing warship cannot be equipped with turrets .

In addition, these equipments are not useless except for their high cost.

At least in terms of intelligence, they are far ahead of our mass-produced dreadnoughts, using a spirit-awakening technology that imitates ship spirits and ghost ships to assist soldiers in manipulating warships.

It is somewhat similar to the constructs of the Furnace Church.

I have just integrated this knowledge through my priesthood and initially created a "man-made ship spirit" technology.

The materials dismantled from these strange warships and the souls of the [Furnace Giants] collected before can be used. "

Byron's eyes lit up immediately:

"Man-made ship spirits? The combat assistance system that can resist signal shielding has finally been solved?"

Industry 1.0 is the era of steam engines, Industry 2.0 is the era of electrification, Industry 3.0 is the era of informatization, and Industry 4.0 is the era of using information technology to promote industrial transformation, which is the intelligent era of Byron's previous life.

It is essentially intelligence + everything.

This is an indescribable prerequisite for becoming an industrial Cthulhu at the national level.

Therefore, after they successfully developed the difference engine and the analysis engine and obtained the two major capabilities of [computing center] and [root server], they were studying how to move Alpha to the dreadnought.

As long as a supercomputing center composed of steam engines, difference engines and analysis engines is built, the central intelligence can allocate sub-body intelligence to assist in computing, greatly improving computing efficiency and convenience.

The comprehensive combat platform such as the dreadnought is enough to build a small auxiliary combat system.

But there is a key problem here, that is, machines are not human extraordinary beings who belong to the collective subconscious and will never lose contact. They need to be connected to the network through the law like the [lighthouse matrix] of each colony.

If the warship is driven to a place without the coverage of the law network, such as outside its own territorial waters, it is easy to lose the signal.

Once it leaves the scope of human rule, such as counterattacking the world rift or going deep into the open sea, it will definitely be blind on the spot.

Without the addition of Alpha computing power, it only has an amazing memory of 20.7KB that can store 1,000 50-digit decimal numbers. Even the best commanders will be silent when they see it.

Byron heard that the Bald Eagle installed a 4KB computer on the big rocket, and they successfully landed on the moon with such a machine that could not even hold a pixel image.

Just one word: exciting!

I don’t know if those astronauts were scared.

Byron felt that even if this task was given to Alpha and it was given 4KB of computing power, it would still be confused and kneel down to beg for mercy incoherently:

"My dear mother, I can't do it!"

Anyway, Byron didn't dare to take such a risk with his officers and soldiers.

If this defect can be made up with a strange object, then the "artificial ship spirit" that can greatly improve the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the warship, although it does not have legendary warship skills, can be considered a successful research.

This will also be the most suitable strange object bow image for the [Dreadnought]!

It is not necessary to use extraordinary materials for the entire ship, and the cost is completely acceptable.

Byron has always been a pragmatist. Whether it is mass-produced weapons or rare objects, a black cat or a white cat is a good cat when it catches mice.

Byron did not forget to tell Violet:

"Miss, after taking out the finished product, we will go to the Corridor of Truth for sea trials. The local shipyards must keep it strictly confidential.

The Beihai Empire is still one step away from reaching the top and cannot make any unexpected mistakes at this time. "

The girl rolled her eyes at him charmingly:

"I know, do you still need to say this?"

Now only the "Dreadnought-class battleship", the first prototype ship [Dreadnaught] launched, is their secret weapon.

They will not be exposed to other forces in the Silver Continent until a squadron is gathered to formally form an army.

Judging from [Alaya's] initiative to contact Byron, the systemic collapse of the Creator has reached a very serious level.

[The Triple Crown of the Pope] is said to be equivalent to a demigod, but the source of its power is the authority of the Creator and the power of the Silver Law.

In this case, no one can say how much power is left.

Now is a good time for them to take action.

Even if the church does not challenge themselves for the crown of the Beihai Empire, they will take the initiative to cause trouble for the church.

It is foreseeable that the two kings of Castile and their invincible fleets, who have defeated the Puppet King and Juana and secured their throne, are the biggest obstacles.

As long as the North Sea Empire is given enough time, it is only natural that the steam battleships will crush the sail battleships and the industrial countries will crush the agricultural countries.

Byron and Violet are gearing up, ready to give everyone a little bit of the shock from the steam age!

"Hey, this trip to the Corridor of Truth has ended perfectly, and the spiritual level has reached 24.9. When are you two planning to go home?

The first stage of the Demigod Promotion Ceremony [World Transformation], ‘Industrial and Agricultural Scissors’, still needs to be presided over by Violet herself.

The second ring of ‘financial war’ may start at any time.

You didn't see the spectacle of merchants in the Netherlands hoarding tulip bulbs after I sent the purchase order.

I'm worried that the Remit people in the Kingdom of the Netherlands will not be able to bear it. If you hang out until the end of the year and come back, you may not see the last side of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. "

Catherine's consciousness came into the body of an incarnation of Violet, transformed into herself, and started a family meeting.

Every decision the couple makes next will have a profound impact on the entire material world.

"In private."

Byron held a queen by the hand, walked out to the highest floor of the Golden Mist Palace, and sat on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window of the master bedroom.

He held Catherine and Violet on his lap, hugging their slender waists and looking at the Silver Continent across the sea, and said softly:

“The world’s trends are powerful, those who follow them will prosper, and those who go against them will perish.

The physical world is ready to move on to the next stage, we are just going with the flow and the ritual can begin at any time.

Don't worry, no matter who dares to stand in front of us at this time, they will definitely die miserably.

After the celebration banquet and human alliance are held, and a few finishing touches, we will set off home. "

The promotion rituals corresponding to the three main priesthoods of [Creation], [Finance], and [Change] complement each other and are all part of the world's transformation.

The three of them are equivalent to following the trend. While improving productivity, they will also release the evil beast called "capital" for the first time in the world.

Byron also described to the two queens for the first time that the "pirate nation" was about to transform and use another method to rob the world's future:

“The economic base determines the superstructure, and no one can jump forward and ignore the historical development process.

Therefore, the 'Industrial Revolution' is not only a revolution in production technology, but also a profound revolution in social relations, which will reshape the entire world.

With the steady development of the Industrial Revolution, the world is about to enter the next social process: the era of ‘capitalism’, where capital will dominate everything.

The world will change from its inherent pattern that has remained unchanged for thousands of years and embark on the fast track of development and change.

Whoever cannot adapt to the rapid changes is destined to be eliminated by the world.

My sister’s [Finance] priesthood, the eldest lady’s [Creation] priesthood, and the [Reformation] priesthood that I am just a little bit able to gather will all be like a fish in water.

It can even be said that that world was tailor-made for the three of us.

It has two premises:

First, there must be a large number of wage laborers who only have personal freedom but no means of production, such as landless farmers;

The second is to concentrate a large amount of production means and monetary wealth into the hands of a few people and convert them into capital that can be used to create wealth.

Whichever country meets these two conditions will be able to follow our footsteps into the new era.

However, we must pay attention to a key issue in advance.

The establishment of the capital economy is the prerequisite for further promoting the industrial revolution. In the future, the victory of the industrial revolution around the world will further consolidate capital.

And thus inevitably consolidate the economic and political rights of this class! "

When Byron said the words "political power", he emphasized his tone.

It can be said that in the era of industrial civilization, the criterion for a great power to become a great power is to have an industrial system of its own.

This not only represents huge wealth, but also is the cornerstone of maintaining overall national strength and maintaining hegemony.

Every great power must maintain its own system at all costs.

Byron believed that as long as he opened this era, he would not have to worry about whether other countries would follow suit and lift him to the position of demigod.     However, the historical development of the previous world told him that this system was made or broken by capital.

Catherine saw Byron's slightly solemn face and stretched out her little hand to smooth his brow:

"Is this why you asked me to tame the big merchants and bankers of the Netherlands and put them in shackles before you start the reform?

One of the upper-level organizations of the Remit people seems to be called the 'Financial Restoration Party'. They should have the most experience in the rules of mutual transformation of money and power.

Don't worry, when I take them down, no one can jump out of the palm of my [financial] priesthood."

Beside him, Violet also hugged Byron's arm. She accepted the concept of [Whale Hunter] since she was a child and had a very thorough understanding of human hearts:

"Power is the most poisonous poison in the world. The only antidote is power itself. Once you leave power, you will immediately die of poison.

From joining this game of power When the play began, everyone was ready.

Wealth and splendor cannot be kept, because its essence is a raging fire, and it can only continue to burn if it constantly obtains fuel.

This is true for every noble family and every vested interest group. With huge wealth, they will naturally try to spy on the power that will make their family rich forever.

Otherwise, there would not be so many giant whales that will never die in this world. ”

Byron nodded:

“That’s the reason.

If you don’t control those big bankers in advance, it will be too late to solve them at that time.

Anthropomorphic creatures like big bankers have no motherland. ”

After the industrial revolution in the previous life began, only a short 150 years later, the capitalists basically eliminated the emperors and royal power in the world.

There were very few royal families that still held real power before Byron traveled through time.

And it was not enough for them to eliminate the royal power.

In order to protect their own interests, the vested interest groups did not hesitate to damage the country’s strength at the cost of tirelessly absorbing excessive nutrients from society and turning into giant whales that will never die.

Eventually, the most precious industrial system was destroyed, resulting in insufficient national competitiveness and the loss of the ability to control hegemony.

The most typical examples are the private central bank that controls the right to mint coins, the powerful "military-industrial complex", the auditors who crashed one after another, the $1,200 coffee cups, and the $90,000 bushings.

The most bizarre thing is that these procurement procedures are all legal? There is no corruption!

In other words, as long as corruption is legal, there is no corruption.

Should others think that this country has a clean government, or that it has reached a stage of systemic corruption that is terminally ill?

Anyway, Byron did not want such a scene to appear in his empire.

Catherine is in charge of the economy and controls a huge financial empire. She has been through a lot and made her own suggestions with a flash of her eyes:

"It is not enough to just control those big bankers.

Wealth transfer is much faster than wealth creation. With the path of wealth transfer, there will be a steady stream of financial dignitaries soon.

[Financial] No matter how powerful the priesthood is, we cannot take the money in their pockets into our pockets out of thin air. Violence is always the last resort.

Therefore, we must control the livelihood field ourselves and open up other markets. This can not only fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all mankind, but also avoid the threat of capital tail to our imperial power."

Byron kissed Catherine's rosy lips with a happy face, and praised sincerely:

"Sister is good, you have learned to answer questions quickly.

Reward you."

As he said this, he put his hand into her lapel and was about to touch her.

Catherine smiled:

"Aren't you going to find the world's most beautiful woman tonight to end the deal? Is it okay?"

Byron straightened his chest and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a prayer sounded in my ears:

"The historical corrector who moves the warp and weft of the times, the origin of all changes, the ultimate unity of all things, His Majesty Saint Byron.

I am Samson, one of the clerks serving the Orthodox Saint Saint Simon.

The saint just ordered us to formulate a decree to draw a papal meridian for your North Sea Empire."

The three people immediately stopped their actions and listened attentively to the information from the insider.

As time went by, more and more clergymen in the Orthodox Church practiced the "Gospel of Heaven", and naturally more and more followers of Byron followed.

In addition, [Sister of Mercy] Theresa was already the Archbishop of Canterbury with the highest status in the Royal Church of England, in charge of the Hastings Diocese.

[Deacon of Twilight] Gilderoy Lockhart became the Archbishop of Roskilde and was in charge of the Diocese of the Evernight Peninsula.

And [Armed Priest] Brandon of the Cathedral of the Holy Armed Forces also ascended to a high position.

It turned out that all of them were Orthodox people.

Byron obviously had no intention of killing all the Orthodox clergymen.

With these examples in front of us, the enemy's will to resist can naturally be minimized.

Even if some people in the order have not studied "The Gospel of Heaven", they have started to bet on both sides because of their existence.

When Byron attacked the three countries of the Evernight Peninsula, he infiltrated the people of the Evernight Queen like a sieve.

"When the [Eternal Night Queen] ordered the march, Lieutenant General Steward was responsible for formulating the battle plan, and Admiral Benjamin was responsible for reviewing it.

After confirming the plan, it was handed over to Colonel Officer and Queen's personal lady-in-waiting Miss Anna to organize it and report it to the Queen for review.

The Queen was very satisfied with the plan and handed it over to Major General Claude for safekeeping and distributed it to front-line combat troops or local administrative departments through the military intelligence station under her command. "

Among all these unforgettable names, except for the queen, they are all secret spies. There are nine people in the intelligence headquarters who have no names, but seven of them are undercover agents!

The current penetration rate into the church’s upper echelons is not high, but as long as the middle and lower levels are clergymen who have practiced the “Gospel of the Kingdom”, more than half of the ten people resonate with “Ten Thousand Wings Angels”.

This also led to the fact that the Pope's decree had already reached Byron's hands before it was even issued.

"I get it. Samson, you did a great job.

Prepare the ceremony, and I will bless you so that you can successfully break through to the third level. "

After Byron listened, he encouraged the believer who was about to faint with excitement, then turned to look at the two queens and sneered:

“As expected, the church is really going to take action against us.

Unfortunately, I'm not interested at all in where the length of the ball is in the Eastern Hemisphere.

We already have the [Bronze Law] of the Desert Empire, and we have Queen Marie, the only human demigod at present;

There is also Atahualpa, an ally of the Sun Empire, in the Southern Continent. The [Golden Law] is rapidly spreading throughout the Sun Empire and even many totem god tribes. The background is far from being as shallow as outsiders see.

This papal meridian will do us very little harm.

But I don't like the church's attitude very much, and the consequences are very serious.

While preparing for the promotion ceremony, it is also time to give the church a little color. "

Upon hearing this, Violet and Catherine, who were worried about the world being in chaos, became excited:

"Are you going to take out the new code?"

"My uncle and aunt have been busy these days, leading a group of domestic mid-range law lawyers to perfect your new law. I asked about the progress yesterday, and it will be completed soon."

Byron knew best how much ink he had in his belly.

The so-called new law of his is nothing more than an appropriation of doctrine standing on the shoulders of giants and pointing fingers.

What I brought this time was nothing else, it was the famous-"Code Napoleon"!

This code, also called the Civil Code, is divided into three parts with 2,281 legal provisions.

The first part is personal law, which contains provisions on civil rights;

The second part is property law, which is the regulations on various types of property ownership and other property rights;

The third part is the provisions on the methods of obtaining various types of ownership, including inheritance, wills, debt repayment, gifts, joint property of husband and wife and other relevant legal provisions.

Byron has reached the level of being only one step away from being a demigod, and he can clearly remember any page of text he has read in his previous life.

This code is too famous. Although he has only read the table of contents and a small part of the content, and only knows the specific legislative spirit and framework, it is completely enough.

It was just left to the fourth-level legal masters such as uncle Henry VI and aunt to make targeted improvements to make it more suitable for this world.

Of course, it is no longer called the Napoleonic Code but the St. Byron Code.

The most important thing is that this code is the earliest civil law code in a capitalist country. It breaks the legislative principles under the feudal system and is equivalent to digging up the foundation of the church's ruling power!

Lawyers in the Inquisition generally believe that law is roughly equal to a contract, also called a social contract.

Through a social contract, people give up their natural liberties and transfer their rights to a strong central authority to establish government to protect their life, liberty, and property.

Now that Byron has confirmed the identity of the primate steward as the human emperor, he naturally stands with the entire human race and even the primate community.

The "St. Byron Code" under his leadership was destined to completely break the religious power and liberate civil rights.

Fundamentally shake the ruling foundation of the church, completely kick them out of the power game in the secular world, and become pure pastors.

It is conceivable that when hundreds of millions of people identify more with the "St. Byron Code" than the "Silver Law".

How much power do the 98 cardinals of the College of Cardinals, the 12 saints of the Divine Council, and the pope who is comparable to a demigod have left?

At that time, Saint Byron will also become the new core of the law, completely replacing the position of the Creator.

Byron grinned, revealing the sharp white teeth of the Night Demon King:

“Orthodox saint?

Too small, your layout is too small!

I have some expectations. When I take out this "St. Byron's Code", how will you respond? "

The church just wanted Byron's life and dismembered the North Sea Empire.

Byron wanted to completely destroy the church!

Maybe Future Capital is synonymous with evil, but in this decadent era ruled by the church, he who ignites the fire of change is the beacon of civilization!
