Chapter 671 Details

Virut and Sergei knew each other.

Of course, this was after Virut joined Derek's army.

Before that, although they were both northern nobles, they really didn't know each other.

The circle of northern nobles was not large, but the transportation was worse in that era, and the social circle was relatively closed.

They were both in the north, but the two families were in the south and the north, just across the entire province.

One was the eldest son of the baron, and the other was the second son of the baron. It was normal that they didn't know each other.

But later, Virut joined Derek's army, and naturally knew Sergei.

However, the two had different identities, so their relationship was just like that of ordinary people.

Sergei had served many times abroad in recent years, so he was not very familiar with each other.

Seriously speaking, Sergei was still Virut's subordinate.

Before he stepped down as the legion commander, he was managed by the military.

Of course, the level of legion commander is already considered a military boss. He is just a small hill, and there is no absolute difference in status, not to mention that Sergei is the emperor's biological brother.

Virut naturally had no capital to put on airs in front of him.

After receiving Sergei's request for assistance, Virut was thinking about what political signals this person who came to serve as the commander of the guard army was hiding.

He was different from Simon. It should be said that he was more like the young Count Jeffreys, who was much more mature politically.

This was the result of family education. Although he was politically immature and impulsive when he was young, when he was older, the education he received when he was young made him seamlessly transition to the role of a politician quickly.

On the other hand, Simon, even if he strengthened his relevant studies after adulthood, the things in his bones could not be changed.

Of course, this is not good or bad, but at this time, Virut thought more about something.

Therefore, while he assisted Sergei in drawing up personnel, he invited him to meet in a private name.

This kind of private relationship has never been a taboo in the Great Xia Empire.

As the Minister of the Army, many things do not need to be hidden from him.

That is, Qin's plan to go on the expedition is still in the preparation stage, and some high-level officials of the empire will soon know the plan.

The real spread will have to wait until Craven gives birth.

This is for stability considerations.

Sergei naturally did not refuse. There were still many things that needed Virut's cooperation, so there was no need to hide it.

However, before the appointment, he deliberately stuffed several newspapers and magazines under Time Magazine into his bag.

Virut invited Sergei and chose his own home as the venue, which seemed more intimate.

This is also the industry that the Krono family has added in recent years. The original Baron family did not have this strength.

However, with Virut's immature impulse, the entire family rose rapidly. Even though the Great Xia Empire strictly controlled the nobles' occupation of means of production, the laws of industry and trade still made the Krono family rich.

In fact, it was precisely because of these extra incomes that some of Derek's policies had few opponents. After all, if a group of people were fed, the rest dared to rebel, and they could only accept iron fist suppression.

Sergei was not surprised at all when he walked in the carefully built mansion. In fact, his own mansion was not bad either.

Derek still took good care of his brothers. It was naturally simple to support them in making money.

After Virut led the way, the two came to a separate courtyard. This environment was very open and relaxing.

It was independent and secluded, and there was no need to worry about being disturbed.

Most importantly, both of them were raised in traditional aristocratic families, and their values ​​and aesthetics were quite similar.

It was the first time that Sergei had such close contact with Virut, but the feeling was good.

"Lord Sergei, if you are dissatisfied with anything, just tell me. My place is a little shabby and I am not welcoming you well." Virut said politely while making tea.

"This place is much better than my home. There is nothing to be dissatisfied with."

Sergei responded with a faint smile, then opened the briefcase he carried with him and took out all the magazines and newspapers.

Virut had noticed the briefcase a long time ago. If he brought a briefcase on such an occasion, it was obvious that he was carrying something.

"The Viscount also brought me a gift?" Virut joked with a smile, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

"I'll make up for the gift next time," Sergei was not shy and handed the newspapers and magazines to Virut: "What the Count wants is in here."

He knew what Virut wanted to ask, so he simply brought the evidence.

In fact, Virut's invitation had a request, and he accepted the invitation naturally with a response, otherwise there would be no need to come, and the two of them were not close enough to meet at any time.

Virut paid a little more attention and looked through the newspapers and magazines.

They were all recent new issues, and he had actually read them all.

He had the habit of reading several publications under Time magazine regularly.

But he had only read them roughly before, and would only read them carefully if there was something he was interested in.

Not surprisingly, some inconspicuous articles were ignored by him.

Reading them again, he would still subconsciously ignore them, this is the inertia of cognition.

"Viscount, please teach me, I don't see anything here." Virut asked directly.

"Take a look at the news from the colony." Sergei reminded.

Such a sentence actually made it clear.

Without reading it again, Virut thought of the recent intelligence about the colony.

The Army Department had channels to learn about the specific situation of the war there, and he had even drawn up several plans for the next step.

But he had never thought that this matter would be related to Qin.

After all, this matter was not a big deal. Sending an old general to lead the troops over would solve the problem in one or two years.

The reason why it has been dragging on is that the New World lacks a little manpower, and the second is to accept the legacy of the war.

The territories managed by the survivors of the four countries are all wealth. After more than ten years of continuous management, it is time to harvest.

Many places that the Great Xia Empire was unable to take care of before have been settled by the survivors of the four countries.

They have resources, manpower and ambition, so they will naturally not sit and wait for death.

After a generation, this batch of colonies has matured, and the second generation of domesticated tools has also grown up.

It happened that the Great Xia Empire has recovered, and it is time to reap the results.

Virut is one of the more active promoters of this matter, which makes him full of motivation both in public and private.

Until Sergei broke the window paper, he easily linked Qin with this matter.

After reviewing my memories and reading these newspapers, I found that there seemed to be more news about the colonies, and they began to clamor for the legitimacy of regaining the colonies.

For example, the slogans of the Daxia race were shouted out, trying to complete the unification from a legal perspective first.
