Chapter 444: Louis XIV

Not long after the conflict between the Harvest Cathedral's spy agency, news spread to the Republic of Lantis, far to the west of the North Continent.

It's not a big deal, the secret intelligence organization and the leader of the intelligence base had some conflicts,

In fact, it is very common.

The forces represented by the two sides are not the same group, one represents the Landis government, and the other is the manpower secretly cultivated by the princes and nobles.

The authority and identity of the latter is naturally higher than that of the former.

The capital of Lantis.

In the most exquisite and luxurious palace in Wiesel, the envoy of the Harvest Church exaggeratedly reported the news to the people above.

At the same time, he did not forget to discredit a handful of espionage elites.

"Führer, gentlemen, please also punish Lyle severely for us. He threatened to kill us regardless of his status as a colleague, and almost exposed the base in front of many people."

In the palace of the head of state, several important officials of the country's political and political positions gathered here.

Listening to the emissary's indignant explanation, many officials were also quite dissatisfied.

"Those guys are so courageous, relying on the duke and nobles behind them, they don't look down on their colleagues, not to mention that they have made no achievements in Göttinghagen these years, if they make some contributions in the future, they will pay back."

"Mr. Yuan, I just took this opportunity to deal with these lawless guys. If Baia's people are caught, they will have an excuse to start a war against us."

"At the end of the day, those extraordinary people think they are great and look down on us, but we haven't seen them achieve anything in recent years."

Several people spoke one after another, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with the spies stationed in Göttinghagen.

In the palace, on a desk with a sand table and flags, sat a man full of energy and a majestic face.

He was in his early forties, and he was wearing a white military uniform that was not gorgeous but looked intimidating, with a warm black cloak on his back.

His stature is one head lower than that of ordinary people with average development, and his height of less than 1.7 meters makes him look short among the mighty Landis officials.

Even with such a stature, the man sitting on the book bench has an aura of calmness and prestige.

The head of the Republic of Lantis, Louis XIV, listened to the quarrels of the officials with interest, and did not participate in their conversations until they were bored and tired of talking,

Realizing that the Führer hadn't said a word, the atmosphere completely quieted down.

Louis XIV spoke cheerfully.

"Everyone, why are you arguing non-stop over such a trivial matter, making it a joke.

Lyell led his members to stay in Göttingenhagen for more than ten years. In addition to force majeure factors, he also made a lot of contributions, big and small, and dedicated himself to the Republic.

It would be too chilling if they were dismissed because of such a trivial matter. "

His words are still very credible, but no one insisted on sticking to him just by mentioning it briefly.

No one dared to question the courage of the head of state. What he said was the golden rule. From the day he took power, he held power tightly in his hands and established an autocratic system of absolute obedience.

And with the expansion of territory over the years, under his leadership, Landis's army has made great achievements,

"Proclaimed" the strongest army in the Northern Continent.

Since he played the legendary sun god in court dramas when he was a child, he was as dazzling as the sun after he took power.

The title of "Sun King" is accompanied by his achievements in power.

Together they left a deep imprint on this country.

Louis XIV was never ashamed of his short stature, and never even took it seriously. In the past, when a candidate for the head of state made fun of his height,

Louis XIV said this,

"I must admit that I am short, but if you make fun of me, sooner or later I will cut off your head to shorten the gap between us."

In fact, he later did exactly that.

But everyone knows that their head of state is by no means a small-minded person.

When the "Sun King" Louis XIV made a speech, he admitted his shortcomings to the people many times as a way to ease the atmosphere.

Just like every time he makes a mistake in his ruling decision, he must apologize in front of everyone at the citizen assembly or some public occasions, bluntly saying that he has done something wrong, and begging his people to forgive him.

"Okay, let's put Lyle's back in advance, and let's get back to business."

Louis XIV's resolute face was somewhat gentle, and his voice had a certain soul-stirring magnetism.

It's simply a talent.

As long as you speak every time, you will easily attract the attention of others,

"Tillo Thorens and Tuf Capet met in his mansion and had a secret meeting for three hours. At the same time, the protection level around the mansion was raised to the highest level. What do you think this has to do with it? related."

Since the head of state asked, several consuls beside him also spoke one after another, taking the opportunity to show their wisdom.

"Although they are old acquaintances, it is too sensitive to meet at this time."

"I've always heard that although Thilo Thorens has already left the field, he still has information on the border by using his previous connections in the military. I'm afraid this secret meeting has something to do with it."

"There is also that boy who has a 'internal combustion engine' production line in the Southern Continent, which can easily replace this generation of vehicles, and its production and manufacturing scale have reached a monopoly level.

He was able to return to Göttingen this time using this as a bargaining chip. Soon, those things will put those things on the battlefield, and they must be negotiating this matter. "

Several officials in important positions are all thoughtful figures, otherwise they would not be able to sit in such a high position.

Judging from the news before and after,

The production and transportation of the 'internal combustion engine' is definitely an important part of this secret conversation.

"Führer, what do you think?"

After each gave their answers, everyone looked at the "Sun King" Louis XIV in unison.

"As you said, their talks are probably related to the war between the two countries, but not necessarily about the 'internal combustion engine'. This matter must have been discussed a long time ago, and there is no need to talk for so long.

I always feel that there is a bigger problem waiting for us, and I can't tell what it is. "

I saw Louis XIV staring intently at the sand table in front of him where troops had already been deployed.

It is the soil where the two countries meet and where they will fight in the future.

Although Lantis' army has not yet been mobilized, his food has already been mobilized first to maintain the supply of the border.

After all, there are already more than 30 divisions concentrated on the eastern border, and it is not a small number for people to eat horse chews every day.

Fortunately, there are these modern troops ready to go, coupled with decades of financial investment, they have built a steel defense line stronger than reinforced concrete for Landis,

Even if all Baia's forces are concentrated in one place, it may not be possible to take it down after a month of storming.

"War...Technology..."

Louis XIV's eyebrows kept beating, as if he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen on the battlefield.

...

Göttinghagen, Hill Palace.

Also receiving information about the secret meeting between Tufu and Tilo in the suburbs, William II's face was ashen,

His Majesty the King faintly felt his legs and feet start to ache again.

"I waited for him for a day and didn't come. Now you tell me that he went to meet with Saurons. Is this trying to slap me in the face in front of the people of the whole country?"

"Your Majesty calm down, maybe there is something important to discuss, so I accidentally ignored you..."

The more the Minister of Internal Affairs said, the less confident he became.

He saw that His Majesty's face was even more ugly, and the blue veins on his forehead were slightly raised, obviously he was really angry.

"Not careful! You mean not careful."

William II repeated the extremely harsh words, holding an unknown utensil beside him in his hand, and fell heavily to the ground.

The decibel was raised by more than one level, and the shouting and cursing spread throughout the palace.

"This bastard who has no king in his eyes and is inferior to animals!"
