Chapter 1256, Look at This Face, Can You Be the Emperor of the Empire?
The latest website: As the industrial heart of the empire, Nur has been in a very sick state of prosperity in recent years.
The whole city is in a sick frenzy.
As the pearl of the empire, the first city of the empire and the place where a large number of emperors' courts were established in history, Nur is qualified to be proud of himself. As an academic center and an industrial center, Nur has always maintained its own unique location advantages. Here the rivers of Er and Aiwei converge and enter Reikland. Wealth, materials and people from all directions of the empire and even the old world pour into this city, making Nur a unique position. Craig was able to match it in power, wealth and industrial prowess.
Due to its location on flat ground, Nur could not close its doors as easily as Middenheim. Therefore, the city walls have been continuously strengthened and reinforced over the long history of the empire, until now they are tens of meters high, and every wall can be seen Row after row of black cannons are aimed at the outside of the city, and the proud Nuer are ready to defend their city at any time.
As a military factory that supplies more than 70% of the empire's military industry, Nur's coffers are always full. Countless forges, steel companies, and gun workshops make money by selling arms to other provinces and autonomous cities. For example, the cannon produced by the Krupp Iron and Steel Company is of superior quality, not only has a long range, great power, but also has a long service life, and the Seiko long-barreled firecracker produced by the Nuer Military Factory is the only one in the empire. There is a Hawk collar long-barrel rifle that is comparable, but the output of the two sides is not at the same level. Hawk collar is a small handmade workshop, and Nuer is a factory production line.
Regardless of the Brunswick Arms Factory, the Musillon Arms Factory, or the Feidorf Arms Factory newly opened by Gelt in Solland, its level and technology are still far behind Nur, and there is no place in the Old World. It can produce such excellent equipment or firearms, except for the dwarves, but the weapons and equipment produced by the dwarves are often barely enough. Only a very small number of them will flow into the human world, so basically there is no competition. On the contrary, Nur’s firearms often Bought by the Dwarves - Dwarf musketeers often complain that they are not enough to use as a spare weapon.
Since Countess Emilia returned to Nuer, Nuer's economy has been getting better and better. Industrial products have been exported to Lustria, and the market in Britannia has also been officially opened. The entire Nuer industry is growing every day. Production at full capacity, but it will never be able to meet the needs, especially after 2522 in the Imperial Calendar, the old world is full of wars, the more critical the situation is, the more military industry is needed, and the treasury has repeatedly exploded. Countless military orders It has far exceeded the range that Nur can produce. More than 95% of the military factories continue to operate 24 hours a day. Whether it is day or night, the flames and thick smoke in the factory area have never stopped for a day.
Munitions orders are already 38 months away.
The precarious form of the old world also caused a huge shock in Nuer. For the Nuer people, the last time they faced a strong enemy dates back to the Tamu Khan invasion more than ten years ago.
But now even noble ladies who have never cared about current affairs know that the empire is now facing a dire crisis.
For no other reason than since 2523, the empire has faced too many problems.
On the northern border, the raging armies of Chaos ravage the lands of the north, held back only by strongholds of gold.
In the east of the empire, a large number of undead armies emerged from Sylvania and walked within the empire.
In the Black Forest, tens of thousands of Beastmen kept pouring out of the forest, killing anyone they saw, and burning villages when they saw them.
The plague is spreading everywhere, and there is no cure except Gelt's runic water.
It is said that in the southern Territory of Thor and the Fortress of Sol, the army led by Thor is still dealing with the attack of a kind of rat-like beastmen and green skins.
Even on the relatively safe roads, bandits composed of bandits, greenskins, beastmen, and ogres are haunting everywhere.
It seems that apart from Nur, there is no place that is truly safe. The population of the city quickly soared from three to four hundred thousand to seven to eight million. They have also become frightened birds, fearing that the world will not be chaotic, talking nonsense everywhere, saying how terrifying those chaotic barbarians are, suddenly armor grows on their bodies on the battlefield, and there are chaotic giants as tall as ten people, which strengthens everyone's sense of fear.
To make matters worse, with the continuous reduction of food production, Wesenling is unable to supply such a huge food expenditure of Nur.
The herd effect makes everyone feel a breathless sense of oppression.
Is the end coming?
At the critical moment, Emilia, the Countess of the Empire, came out to solve the problem. The Countess herself went to Britannia to negotiate with the Sun King Ryan. Not only did she finalize a large number of military orders, she also received a guarantee of food supply from the opposite side of the mountain. The two parties successfully reached an agreement - Nur can get the highest priority food supply from Britannia, and also has the right to bargain. At the same time, Nur also promised that Britannia's military supplies will be given priority under certain circumstances. Goods, and the price is more reasonable.
Immediately since the agreement was made, a steady stream of provisions reached Nur from beyond the Gray Mountains, through the Ax's Pass and the Gray Lady's Way.
What is hilarious is that in the past when agricultural products were exchanged for industrial products, agriculture was often exploited and squeezed, but the current situation is that Nur is the weaker party in the bargaining, because as long as Brittany If there is a trade embargo and food embargo in Asia, Nur may be forced to implement a food supply system and reduce production capacity.
So Noor sighed secretly inside.
"The duchess is still reliable."
"The matter between the Countess and the Sun King seems to be right now."
"Isn't that right? Look at our baron, it's because of his good breed that he can be so powerful."
There were still somewhat dissatisfied voices in Nur before, but after Emilia successfully reached the food agreement, the city was full of voices of praise, and the people's heartfelt thanks and praise were thrown on the Queen of the Empire without hesitation.
Because Emilia was pregnant, she didn't have much energy to deal with internal affairs. The power of Nur actually fell into the hands of Baron Frederick. Frederick generally handled internal affairs, and then used them to approve red for her mother. After reading it once, Miria will sign as long as she feels that there are not many problems.
So Frederick is really, really grateful to the little queen Alisara. Since Alisara came to him, everything has been fine. The little queen's domestic and foreign affairs skills are simply not outstanding, and It can be described as extraordinary, with her guidance, but within a year, Frederick has been able to handle all problems with ease.
Of course, the little queen knew very well that the reason everything went so smoothly was because there were people behind Emilia and Frey.
Don't the Nuer want food and orders?
More importantly, with Alisara's efforts, the Skaven underground city under Nur has a clue, but no one believes it now.
In April 2524 of the Imperial Calendar, the weather was very cold, as cold as ice. Since the beginning of the Last Hour, the climate in the Old World has become colder and more abnormal.
In the black tower in the northern city of Nur, Frederick is working.
Fifteen days ago, the baron had just defeated a greenskin tribe "Skull Crusher" in Württemberg in the south of Nur and the Sol-led coalition forces in Gelt. The greenskin corpses were almost piled up into a mountain. During the battle, Gelt simply handed over his army to Commander Frederick, and Solland did not reject the baron in any way. Obviously, the re-merger of Wissenland and Solland in the future is only a matter of time. question.
Buried in last month's production report and the Marienburg incident report, through the sunlight outside the window, the 20-year-old Frederick's handsome and magnanimous face has gradually faded. From his first battle to the present, he has been a general who has experienced as many as 186 large and small battles. From unfamiliar to hands-on, from entry to proficiency, the Nuer military watched the baron grow with satisfaction.
At this time, Frederick was replaying Suria's defense of Korona, and the Baron concentrated on replaying the whole battle. His sudden change of tactics against Suria and the instant agitation of a large wave of troops, Feeling envy and admiration for the way the currency motivates the morale of the veterans, after the whole process of reviewing, Frederick wrote the experience in his notebook.
"Sigwald's defeat was due to his underestimation of the enemy, his arrogance, his empiricism, and his unclear strategic goals. If he wanted to attack Korona, Sigwald should quickly go straight to Korona If you want to plunder and wipe out Britannia's vital forces, then you should conduct mobile warfare and actively avoid war."
"Aunt Su Liya's victory lies in adapting to the situation, winning in self-confidence, winning in breaking the rules and dogmas, occupying a strong city but abandoning the defense of the city, making chaos unexpected, summoning nobles to recruit all private troops is unexpected, spending money and even To some extent, it violates the general strategy of chivalry, but the effect is extraordinary. At the same time, the superior force is concentrated to attack the enemy's weakness, the whole cavalry strengthens the marching speed, the soldiers lead by example to boost morale, and German urgently dispatched reinforcements..."
Frey frowned when he wrote this. Obviously, he still had some complaints about Aunt Suria and Devonhill, the stinky brother. He only wrote half of this sentence. He thought for a few seconds before starting another line.
"Times have changed, the combat conditions, the comparison of the strength of the enemy and ourselves, and the goals that should be achieved have all changed. The objective conditions on which the old experience was attached no longer exist, and the experience is naturally useless. If you cannot formulate combat goals and tactics realistically, you will inevitably be attacked. Miserably."
After finishing writing, Frederick was finally satisfied. Baron Noor suddenly smelled a burst of fragrant wind, and then laughed like silver bells. A pair of small hands put the silver plate full of food on the table, Then he covered Frederick's eyes, and a familiar voice sounded from behind: "It's tea time, my baron, take a rest."
"Ellie~" Frederick couldn't help showing a smile, and the baron hugged the little queen in turn: "You're back? Mother didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"
Alisara is indeed the treasure given to the baron by Charlemagne. The little queen's appearance is the most beautiful among the high-spirited, and she is naturally one of the best in the old world. And diplomacy is surprisingly sophisticated and easy to handle.
A long-sleeved chiffon white shirt, a one-step skirt with button-down hips, a simple princess hair accessory, a simple small brown leather belt tied around the waist, and white lace and star Lycra pantyhose wrapped around the delicate and beautiful calves under the skirt With a pair of small pearl high heels, Alisara's temperament changes from time to time, and her pure and lovely oval face and big watery eyes make it hard not to be lovable.
The ever-changing Alisara quickly figured out Frederick's hobbies. Frederick's hobbies were exactly the same as his father's. He liked maids, various professional attire, and high-heeled shoes with stockings the most.
Isn't that simple? Alisara dresses up all day long, Lolita outfits, palace ladies, elf costumes, maid outfits, cheongsam dresses privately given by the fairies in the lake, or office shirts and hip skirts with all kinds of stockings. The little queen is really Fascinated Frederick.
However, although the little queen was ready, Frederick was still restrained. The baron always remembered that it was Noelle who came to him first and became his maid, and now his fiancée. Let's talk about it after the big wedding, he is not ready yet, and he doesn't like to make casual promises.
"No." Alisara shook her head. When she saw Frederick reaching out to eat the pastry, she stopped him suddenly: "No eating! You must speak a code word!"
"Code words... this, Ellie, can you not say it?" Frederick was a little embarrassed.
"Don't tell me, don't give me food!" Alisara stretched out her pale fingers and pointed at Frey's face, humming softly with her small nose.
"Odd..." Frederick blushed.
"Hurry up! There are still things to do after eating." The little queen pressed on every step of the way.
"Encounter in different worlds...Enjoy delicious food." Frederick could only say coyly, seeing the baron's clothes softened, Alisara's silver bell-like laughter sounded in the room.
How stupid, how did Alisara come up with this?
The two ate something, and Alisara took Frederick to the Elector's Palace in Nuer, where Emmanuel (Emilia), the Duchess of the Empire, the Nuer military and A large group of Nuer nobles were already waiting.
During this time, the wood elf goddess Misty Lady Radlia appeared in Nur. She took the letter of introduction from the Sun King Ryan to show people in Nur. It is absolutely accurate and only needs to offer a generous sum of money. Gifts, she can give rich blessings and even some small magic props.
Emilia was very excited. Of course, the Duchess of the Empire knew that the goddess of the high-spirited moon was Lilith, the fairy of the lake, but she didn't know the vest of Lilith, Ladria, the lady of the mist. The Imperial Duchess in her stomach immediately asked Lady Misty to come to the Elector's Palace and asked her to show Frederick a face.
Can my son be the emperor of the empire?
Emilia has never been very confident.
When Frederick and Alisara appeared, everyone was already there. Dozens of generals, hundreds of nobles, and city councilors from Nur all looked at the baron, and many people were very nervous.
Frederick's fiancée, Noelle of the Goddess of War Church, the Northern Eagle, is also there. The girl has finally recovered from her illness for several months. She is dressed in a very refined dress today, with a beret, a cardigan, and a dark blue pleated skirt. White silk pantyhose and black leather shoes. Seeing her fiancé and his maid, Noelle stared at Alisara for two seconds before walking to Frederick. Alisara stepped back immediately A half step means a retreat.
At this time, the lady of the mist, Radlia, is already here. From the outside, she is a goddess with dazzling golden hair and an extremely hot figure, but she is wearing a thick veil and cloak, only revealing a pair of eyes. , so I couldn't see her beauty.
"Ms. Radlia, please take a look at this." Emilia said eagerly with her big belly: "This is my son Frederick, the son of Ryan and me, how about it? Be the Emperor of the Empire?"
"Let me see." A pleasant and somewhat familiar voice came from behind the veil.
The air in the room was very quiet, and Frederick only felt that the goddess opposite was looking at him playfully.
The baron glanced at Noelle beside him unnaturally.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tut
Frederick was already very handsome, and he also had spiritual power bonuses. He also inherited Ryan's face and Emilia's facial features. This result is not surprising, at least Frederick himself is not surprised .
"Oh oh oh!" Immediately there was an excited roar and the sound of clenched fists in the hall. Is our Nur going to have another emperor?
Noor has been waiting for over 100 years!
"Really?" Emilia ignored her pregnancy, and the Duchess of the Empire stood up with a bright face: "Please take a closer look, please!"
"Well, I've read it carefully." Ladelia looked at it for another five minutes, and even stretched out her hand to pinch Frey's face: "Should be able to become an emperor, this face is the face of a griffin, and it is born to be The one who became the king, tsk tsk, he is simply the messenger sent by Charlemagne to the world, and he is destined to become the emperor!"
"Mei shake it!" Emilia yelled in ecstasy, the Queen of the Empire immediately waved her hand, and several attendants immediately presented five boxes of luxurious gifts full of gold and silver: "Thank you very much, thank you very much, la Ms. Delia, this is a thank you gift from Nur!"
"Wait, I haven't finished my sentence yet." Ladelia shook her head, "Although she has the appearance of a king, she still faces some challenges."
"What challenge?" Emilia immediately became vicious: "What will we Nur be afraid of? Send the steam tanks one by one, and send me all the challenges to the sky!"
"I can only observe the first challenge." Ladelia's chuckle sounded: "This challenge is located under Nuer's underground, and the mysterious triangular imprint will bring Nuer to destruction, if it cannot be stopped , then his road to emperor is doomed to fail."
"Challenge in Nur's, underground?"
The audience was in an uproar.
