Realm of Power

Although Algernon Julia was dissatisfied with linking the demise of Gaul to herself, it did not affect the endless bidding in the auction house. In almost just a few ups and downs, the price rose from the initial 1 million to 5 million. , most of the people tonight came here for the crown of the Gallic Emperor. The previous turmoil was just to celebrate, but now the bayonet is red, the price has skyrocketed, and after five million, it was directly sold to a Chinese and Libyan businessman. The regiment mentioned eight million, and the Gauls could not sit still.

"Miss Julia, you and I both know very well that this crown must not fall into the hands of outsiders."

A leader of the old ministers faction came to the seat next to Algernon Julia, who had always made a bid, and whispered that we had already pooled all our financial resources, and we had barely managed to get 10 million, and judging from the current situation, There is absolutely no problem breaking through 10 million, so I hope Miss can help us. I know that Miss has at least 5 million in funds. If you are willing to help us once, the whole of Gaul will be grateful to you! "

"The whole of Gaul? Hariru, are you qualified to call it the whole of Gaul?"

Algernon Julia's pretty face was cold. He knew the man in front of him named Hariru, who was the former undersecretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Gaul. The Falconer wanted to use this in exchange for money. These people who considered themselves as Gaul's old ministers wanted to use it. This is to prove his orthodox status. The descendants of the royal family obviously still exist, but they all pretend not to be seen. Fortunately, the former emperor regarded this man as a confidant and entrusted him with the important position of Undersecretary of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs. Unexpectedly, before the Falcon Empire had conquered Kyoto, Hariru had already gathered a large number of people to surrender directly, and it was he who opened the gate to the imperial capital. Yes, in Algernon Julia's heart, this person is more hateful than the Falcon Empire! "The Falcon Empire's army has already reached the gates of Kyoto City. The defenders in the city have completely collapsed. If they don't surrender, are they waiting for their heads to be chopped off?" Hariru stood up angrily. He was a dignified-looking middle-aged man. The young nobleman, even in the Falcon Imperial Capital, still stubbornly wore the eagle gemstone ring used by the Gallic nobles on his finger. It's almost like shouting in the street that I'm Gaulish.

"Although we are unbearable, we are still better than you Alger Farmers. The empire has millions of troops and its national strength is at its peak. If you Alger Farmers hadn't commanded indiscriminately and started the Southwest Rebellion and destroyed all the empire's barriers, how could Gaul have been conquered? The Falcon Empire was destroyed in just a few years, but Kyoto has not yet been conquered , you just took the little emperor and fled away. Now you have the nerve to accuse others! The reason why I came here is entirely because I believe that Miss Algernon also hopes that this crown will go to Gaul. It is said that the emperor died at the time. , even in the arms of the young lady, is the young lady so hard-hearted? "

"That's enough, tell me, how much do you want?" Algernon Julia showed a trace of sadness on her face, obviously remembering the scene that day.

"Five million, if you can get more, it would be best," Hariru said slightly unexpectedly.

"There is no free lunch in the world. I can lend you five million. But I have a request. The preservation of this crown must be recognized by both parties, and you must recognize the existence of royal descendants." Algernon Julia's expression Calmly, he said in a calm tone, the price of the crown was so ridiculously high that it scared Algernon Julia. Originally, Algernon Julia thought five million would be enough. Who knew it was a starting price? After all, both parties were high-ranking people. Lu people. The goals are the same. If you choose not to join forces, you will have to watch the crown fall into the hands of others, which will be very difficult for you. This is not a good thing for Gaul at present.

Gaul was a conquered area by the empire. Under the empire's unified and relaxed ethnic policy, the Gauls did not suffer much discrimination, but after all, they were still subjugated. Although Hariru was very scheming. But as a former nobleman of the Gallic Empire, he insisted on wearing an eagle ring and appeared in the Falcon Palace. His courage to withstand pressure is also admirable.

Moreover, Algernon Julia had to consider her feelings towards the old ministers who were still sincere to Gaul. If she refused to borrow money and the old ministers failed to bid for the crown, I was afraid that these people would completely hate her too, and by then she would have spent so much money. Several smuggling lines related to the Mountain Province that have been established with a lot of effort will definitely be retaliated against. This is definitely not a good thing for the currently precarious Mountain Province.

I thought I could rely on the big tree of the Zhongbia Empire, but I didn't expect that under the impact of the northern grassland cavalry, the Zhongbia Empire lost the northern region, and now even the central region is about to be saved. Several major powers in the empire The forces are also fighting against each other for power, and some people have even reached out to the Shanzhong Province to encourage refugees from the war-torn areas in Central and South Africa to migrate to the newly stabilized Shanzhong Province.

When Algernon Julia heard the news, her chest almost exploded with anger. The Central Asians had bullied others too much. The mountainous province only had such a small area, and it was already the limit to accommodate two to three hundred thousand Gauls. They had just received the government this year. Some harvests can be regarded as reducing some of the pressure in winter. Wherever she had the spare time to take care of these Central and Asian refugees, she directly dispatched troops to close the access road between the Shanzhong Province and the Central and Asian regions, blocking out all the Central and Asian refugees who were approaching the Shanzhong Province. All the people sent by Yachaotang excused their illness and did not show up.

"Miss's help, we will remember it!"

Harry hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Among the old Gaul ministers who were sweating on their foreheads, with such skill, the price of the crown had risen to eleven million, which was even higher than the flood. Soon, the atmosphere in the entire auction room became weird. Although the value of the crown was expected to be very high, it was only within ten million at most. No one expected that it would directly break through the tens of millions barrier and fly towards twelve million. Damn, this price is confusing to everyone.

"How was the negotiation?" several old Gaul ministers asked

"Promise to help us five million, but we need to jointly keep the crown and recognize the descendants of the emperor," Hariru said.

"Five million dollars is all it takes to gain our recognition. This woman is really good at calculating!" An older old man among the old Gaul ministers snorted, "The mountain province is nominally the seat of the Gallic emperor. In fact, everyone knows that. That is the private kingdom of their Alger family. As long as we recognize the little puppet emperor, their Alger family can find a marriage partner and replace it!"

"The Emperor of Gaul is dead. The one in the mountain province is just a puppet of the Alger family. We only need to know this in our hearts."

Harry took a deep breath, his eyes fell dimly on the golden and brilliant Gaul crown illuminated by candlelight on the stand, he paused and said, "What we have to consider now is how to get rid of this Gaul crown. After all, I, Gaul, have been the lord of northern Europe for more than two hundred years. The country can be destroyed. The culture of Gaul and the nobles of Gaul cannot be restored in a short time. It is too naive for the empire to rely on the two-handed strategy of gentleness and military suppression to push us away. Now that the empire has distributed the confiscated noble land to those lowly farmers, the power of our nobles is also not as good as before. If we can By buying this crown, I believe we can gather more power among the Gallic aristocracy."

"But this price has completely exceeded expectations. Isn't the price we paid for this crown too high? It's more than 10 million. If converted into weapons and soldiers, there will be at least 100,000 troops." The old man hesitated.

"There are 300,000 troops of the empire stationed throughout Gaul. To gather troops blatantly is to seek death. It is impossible to fight with force. But if the power of all the nobles is gathered together, we may not be able to build an empire belonging to our Gaul." Lu's Hidden Kingdom! Although the Falcon Empire is powerful, any dynasty will decline. As long as we hold on to our faith and prepare for the long term, we, Gaul, may not be able to survive in twenty, fifty, or one hundred years. There will be no day when we can regain our glory!" Harry suggested with a holy look on his face, and said slowly, "But before that, we must use one thing to connect everyone so that we will never be members of the Falcon Empire. , We are Gauls, is there anything better than this emperor's crown? What we are preparing for is not the present, but the future! That ambitious woman will not even think of this even if she breaks her head!"

"Only by buying the crown can we have a future!"

A glimmer of excitement flashed across the faces of several people, as if they saw a faint light of hope in the boundless darkness. With the power of the Falcon Empire, too many people had given up their confidence to persevere. But here, they saw hope. If there is one thing that can touch the hearts of all Gauls, it must be the crown of the Gallic Emperor!

The fat man was really not interested in the idea of ​​these Gallic shrimps. When the price of the Gallic Emperor's Crown was rising steadily at the auction house, he was already on the carriage returning to the Red Palace of the Empire. An urgent report from the south arrived. In his hands, the southern Paput Kingdom was defeated miserably by the Fezer Kingdom. Although the empire gave Paput considerable support, the Paput army's more than 100,000 troops suffered heavy casualties in several months of fighting. , the national power and supplies were almost exhausted, and the barrier was finally broken through by the famous general Omu of the Feize Army in the Luya Mountains. The entire Paput line collapsed in the First World War, not only spitting out the Nan Anfu area previously occupied, but even several annexed areas. Throw it out and retreat with all its strength from the Pamit Plateau. Fezer's 200,000 troops have pressed to the edge of the Pamit Plateau. Now the entire south is watching to see if the empire will intervene.

"The current strength of Pamit's country is less than 30,000. The Fezer people have captured the strategic Luya Mountains. The front team of about 10,000 troops has entered the hinterland of the Pamit Kingdom."

Hu Keqili, the Minister of Imperial Affairs who sent the report, said, "The three fleets of the Feize Kingdom Navy also left the port and headed towards the waters of Bairn Road Island. They seemed to want to attack the Paputs from the sea. ,

Byrne Road Island is already within the scope of our imperial navy. The other party is so unscrupulous, which proves that at the royal meeting of King Fezer some time ago, the rumors that the military stated that it would fully annex Paput are not groundless. If that is true, we are in Paput. The mines and ports obtained will fall into the hands of the Feize people. If the empire ignores them, and once other countries also use Feize, the tens of millions invested by the empire in the south will be in vain! "(To be continued.?)
