Chapter 690: Remaining Great

Fernandez has walked step by step over the years and has experienced countless setbacks.

These setbacks are not worth promoting, but he has also learned a lot from failure.

If failure does not defeat you, it will definitely make you stronger.

Before the Kingdom of the Holy Cross retreated from its homeland, it had already completed the initial steam industrialization.

Now, it has been updated several times and barely has industrialization that can keep up with the end of the times.

Electrification is still rare, but the old steam engine can still offset a lot of manpower shortages.

Even Fernandez had foresight and assembled several wooden planes that were not capable of actual combat.

After realizing that the mode of war might change, he even targeted a batch of anti-aircraft machine guns.

In addition, food and weapons were stored, and militia training was carried out for the whole people.

But... this is just the effort of the new Kingdom of the Holy Cross.

Looking at the entire colony, there is no other family that is prepared to do this.

This is not enough, far from enough.

Even if all the survivors of the four countries in the entire colony united, the chance of winning was no more than half, and this was still Fernandez's high estimate.

Therefore, he took the initiative to take that step, which was destined to be infamous.

Abdication and coronation are destined to be criticized.

Even if the old king is a bastard, he has nothing to owe him.

In fact, there was no personal greed for power in this abdication between brothers.

Therefore, King Bruno was unwilling, but chose to cooperate, not because of the coercion of force.

Fernandez was not greedy for the throne, but chose to wear the crown and bear this huge pressure.

This is a road destined to be infamous, the probability of success is very low, and the winner will also be criticized.

Not to mention failure, you will definitely be laughed at to death.

Forcing your own brother to obtain the throne, but in the end it was still a complete failure. You can imagine how the history books will evaluate it.

Fernandez knew all this.

But he still chose this difficult road without hesitation. He didn't want to prove anything, he just wanted to win once.

Defeat the Great Xia Empire and rebuild the glory of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

For this day, he worked hard and developed weapons.

He made absolute sacrifices, including bowing to the tool and giving birth to a shameful Chaos heir.

There was almost no enjoyment, and all the money was used for weapons research and development and manufacturing.

The high pressure internally was regarded as tyranny by many citizens.

Only after abandoning honor did he gain a lot of support from the tool.

After giving up everything, he had the opportunity to sit at the card table again.

"Derrick, the times have changed, and I have finally caught up with the times. Let me see if your son can beat me." Fernandez's hair was gray, but his spirit was particularly vigorous: "Maybe, you have to fight me again."

...

The New Holy United Kingdom!

The guy who should have been silent in history was resurrected again.

"It's just the skin of the Holy United Kingdom, with a fallen soul hidden inside, tarnishing the glory of the Lord, a group of guys who have gone astray." Knight Burdett was very disdainful.

He could understand Fernandez's choice, but he could not agree with his actions.

Failure of honor or victory of shame, he would choose the former.

He has never been a qualified soldier and politician. If it is the standard of an egoist, he is obviously stupid.

But personal choices are never right or wrong.

History will eventually give everyone a proper evaluation.

With a polite smile from Lister, he felt that Fernandez was a hero.

He was flexible and tenacious. Although he was an enemy, no one could deny his personal charm.

This is why many people among the survivors of the four countries supported him.

A loser is never a single image.

Success and failure are only relative.

In a sense, Fernandez I was more successful than many people, and his place will be left in future history books.

"Fernandez I established the New Holy United Kingdom and wore the crown. We will not evaluate whether he is honorable or not. The reality we have to face now is that he already has a population of nearly 10 million and has an extremely huge war potential. With only more than 20 divisions, there may be great pressure." Lister analyzed calmly.

Even though the mainland has begun to transport Class A divisions, the total force is still at a disadvantage.

They did not expect that Fernandez I could integrate all the forces.

From this perspective, this is also a myth.

"We have to change our strategy. A full-scale attack may lead to a collapse," Hans also analyzed with his own knowledge and gave his opinion: "We can defend comprehensively and use fortifications to offset a large part of the disadvantage of force."

"Will this be too weak? Moreover, the so-called Holy United Kingdom is just a group of pseudo-modernized troops with the main force of the tool. Our army's combat effectiveness should be far superior to theirs, and the weapons also have advantages. The combat effectiveness advantage cannot be offset by the number of people." Michel expressed a different opinion.

"Yes, time is on the other side. As time goes by, the new Holy United Kingdom will complete further resource integration, and the war potential will be even greater."

The brothers kept putting forward different opinions and made fine adjustments based on the intelligence updated at any time.

Before the arrival of the eldest brother and the second uncle, they should try their best to hand in a qualified plan.

With the character of the Augusta family, it is not their pursuit to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Everyone wants to contribute their own strength.

In response, Knight Burdette shut up.

He has never been a strategic planner. Even in the founding war, the Mergen Monastery Knights he led were used as tactical weapons.

In short, he exists as a blade, not a brain.

Knight Burdette is very clear about his position and never interferes with the decision-making of smart people.

Instead, he watched the little guys arguing with expectation. Anyway, with him here, the situation can't get any worse.

In such a quarrel, a plan was gradually perfected.

And Qin, who was in his hometown, was ready to set off before his son learned to walk.

In this era, the survival rate of newborns has greatly increased.

The development of medicine has benefited newborns.

Especially the royal doctors, many of whose levels are far beyond this era.

At least Qin can be relieved and then prepare to set off for the New World.

Especially the news about Fernandez I, which made it impossible for him to continue to sit on the Diaoyutai.

As mentioned before, time is on the other side for the time being.
