Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 339

This question made the students think for a long time, but after one person raised his hand, someone finally took the initiative to speak.

A tall and handsome young man stood up, without any stage fright under the gaze of thousands of people, he took the Philosopher's Stone handed over by the staff, and his voice was also very resolute and calm.

"Prince, I have a question."

Imrik looked at the cold reaction of the students in the audience, and knew that this young man should be someone who was not very popular in the academy, but it was strange why he looked familiar to him, so he said rather puzzled,
"Of course, having no problems is more terrifying than having them, but I want to start with a question, have we met somewhere?"

"I am Bernard Archibald."

Well, Randy Qing's great-grandson, no wonder he looks familiar, but why is he here instead of being trained by the Dragon Prince in the family.

The academy does not provide high-quality combat teaching, and the preparatory dragon princes who come here for advanced studies only need to complete the necessary courses such as dragon studies. Judging by his appearance, he seems to be a resident student.

But Prince Long didn't want to pay attention to this matter. It seems that the champion warrior who is highly respected in the country also has a lot of troubles at home.

"Okay, Bernard, although I don't quite understand how Sir Randy let you avoid the Dragon Prince's training, but everyone has their own choice, please tell your problem."

Bernard deliberated for the last moment and asked a very sensitive question,

"Prince, regarding the colony plan, can we get the support of the Phoenix Royal Court?"

Hearing this, Imrik narrowed his eyes slightly. This Bernard is a bit interesting. The plan for the colony has been announced long ago. It can be said that the Phoenix Royal Court has no room to intervene except for the right to know about the colony in name. It is completely dominated by the Dragon Palace.

And what he meant was obviously not to find material support from the Phoenix Royal Court, but to let Finnuba invest his influence in the colony. From the perspective of the development of the colony, this is not a bad thing, but it is a habit The established Dragon Prince does not intend to use the parliamentary method to assist in decision-making.

"Unfortunately, the court did not intend to seek the support of the Phoenix Court. This matter is a state matter of Caledor, not a racial incident in Azul. I believe that there is a compulsory control between the Phoenix King and the prince. political science teachers know better than me.”

Imrik's tone was very flat, and did not change the slightest because of this sensitive issue, so this kid is pro-Itaine, no wonder Randy never said anything about his great-grandson, it probably made him feel ashamed .

Just when Bernard wanted to explain this question and asked if the Phoenix King would support this matter, he was pulled back by the person next to him. Obviously the prince didn't want to talk about the relationship between Caledor and the Phoenix King here. .

However, relying on the strong physical fitness brought by his excellent blood, he forced himself to stand where he was, and continued to ask a sensitive question with the Philosopher's Stone in his hands.

"In the Ulthuan Law Code, the Phoenix King has the power to conduct diplomacy and declare war with other races, and the colonial movement will undoubtedly have a lot of contact with other races. It may not be a good choice for Caledor to do it alone."

These words chilled the atmosphere in the lecture hall, and the dean who was pulled down by Elvis stomped his feet angrily. This young man who had returned from an exchange at Lothern College for two years was a little dazed. It's fine to proclaim the greatness of the Phoenix King, but he ran to Imrik to do it.

Even if Imrik didn't care, his great-grandfather Randy wouldn't condone the offense.

Prince Long was taken aback by this question. This person is indeed a bit stubborn. Even if you are a fool, it is impossible for you to think that you have no right to declare war.

Serious people don't care what the Phoenix King thinks, not to mention Caledo has the political asylum brought by the three Phoenix Kings. Even if he overturns the world, no one dares to openly confront Caledo politically.

"I have to say that your way of thinking...is a bit unique." Imrik chose a word that was as euphemistic as possible, instead of directly scolding you for being outrageously stupid.

"I don't want to talk too much about the relationship between the Phoenix Royal Court and the courts of other kingdoms, but I can give you an idea. First, let's take the armament output of Vaal Anvil before I succeeded to the throne as an example. Even if we go all the way, the annual output is only about [-] sets."

"And last year's output report was 130 sets. In 17, Caledon's fiscal revenue was 130 gold leaf coins, and in 53, it was 40.00 gold leaf coins, and the young Once Longwan is on the right track, fiscal revenue is expected to increase by [-]% within two years.”

"Not to mention the large amount of various commodities flowing into the country, I believe that each of you can drink wine from Itain or Avalon, instead of the fine wine from Lord Ronin's family winery, the fruit from Saffrey Vegetables can also be supplied in season, and the price is also within a reasonable range, which is a realistic and well-founded thing.”

"I don't want to discuss too much about the differences between my late father and my political ideas. This is not an escape, but out of respect for the deceased. And there must be teachers in the college who are doing related research on this matter. , They undoubtedly have a deeper understanding of the difference between Caledon and the past in the past few years, I have not signed a document prohibiting relevant political research, you can ask them."

Imric paused for a moment, thinking about his choice of words. After all, there were so many young people in the audience, it would not be good to just call him a fool.

People should pay attention to this kind of pro-Itaine ideology. The domestic ideology must be controlled. The era of maritime trade opened by Finubar has caused some ideological trends in Ulthuan, although Caledon is still There is no thought of questioning the dominion of the dragon tamer family, but it must be guarded against.

"Obviously, Caledon cannot rely on the Phoenix Royal Court to support the healthy development of the country. Bernard asks you to remember that Caledon is a country, not a warlord force. I need to consider how the country can run smoothly. Perhaps having the support of the Phoenix King will make the colony run more smoothly, but in the long run, it is not an appropriate move."

Imrik bluntly pointed out the core of the problem. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Caledor is just Ulthuan's number one thug. Even many people in this country still maintain this idea.

Bernard is nothing more than thinking that Caledon will take down the colony and hand it over to the Phoenix King Court for management. Caledon can get the support of the Phoenix King, and the Phoenix King can also gain influence. The old man may agree to such a move. But I definitely can’t do this, otherwise it’s a white job. People and money can be invested, but political influence is not enough. This is the bottom line.

The last one to do this was Nagaris led by Malekith, but all the benefits were taken away by the Phoenix King. I would not make such a mistake. The colony has to listen to me, and it is not easy for anyone to come .

The Dragon Prince's speech received intense applause. The young people are the group with the strongest national awareness. They may appear blind and impulsive, but they always care about the country in their hearts and are willing to pay for it. Imrik's habitual His tough attitude will capture the strong mentality of young people, and we Caledo can make a fortune by ourselves!
Bernard, who was in the applause, looked a little embarrassed. Although the Dragon Prince's words were tactful, the meaning was obvious. The Phoenix Royal Court had no right to interfere in Caledor's affairs, and in his eyes, he was also a fool, who didn't even understand the laws of the country's operation. .

Bernard, who was born in a prominent family, sat back in his seat. Perhaps he firmly believed that the Phoenix King was the leader who could lead Azul to glory, but in the eyes of others, this was just another poor creature that Finnuba successfully fooled.

"Please continue to express your views. Personally, I also like to communicate with young people. The diversity of your thinking will always benefit me a lot."

A female student raised her hand, stood up and said rather cautiously,

"Prince, can you let the students of the academy participate in the management of the colony? Although I don't want to say that, some people in Caledon are indeed talented in clerical work, not fighting."

"According to the plan, the first batch of people going to Lustria will be the army, but after that..."

She considered the words for a while, and said a decent word,
"The humans from Kislev, as well as Ulthuan's construction team, will definitely have a large number of people. The army needs to defend against local hostiles, and it may be difficult to effectively control them."

For this little girl, Imrik's attitude is undoubtedly much better than Bernard's. This sounds so pleasing to the ear, and this kind of dedicated person is needed.

"Of course, what I have always insisted on is that young people are the future of the kingdom. Caledon's management system does have some problems. Even I know this very well."

"In the grassroots villages and towns, most of the managers are from the army. They are highly respected and can immediately organize the militia to protect their homes in times of crisis. I am very grateful for their selfless dedication and help the sparsely populated Dragon Palace to solve many things. .”

"But once they deal with complicated official duties, I think they are still more willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, rather than lying on their desks and flipping through documents."

"The colony will become a place where multiple races live. Reasonable and effective management is what is urgently needed. I will let the dean recommend some outstanding students to the colony every year. First, do grassroots work. If the individual is willing and performs well , may apply to serve as an officer in the colony."

Having said so much, Imrik couldn't help but pick up the tea mug and take a sip of water. For these students, he is a perfect tool man, with dedication and energy, and loyalty to the country.

Even the grassroots managers in China must have at least 50 years of service in the army, otherwise they will not be convincing at all, and there are many such people in Caledo.

As a result, after students come out, they can only get enough qualifications by serving in the army. But after being a soldier for so long, they have long forgotten what they have learned. Basically, the management method is a bit similar to military control.

Coupled with the arrogance tainted in the army and the contempt for other races, the domestic management method may not be suitable for the colony.

The general direction is controlled by oneself, and it may be better for these simple students to do the grassroots work in the colony.

However, seeing so many raised hands and hopeful eyes in the audience, I couldn't help but sigh. This kind of symposium is more tiring than fighting. They are all my own people, so I have to care about the words and not the bad mouth. You have to consider the cause and effect when you speak, so as not to let these young people dig into their horns and come up with some tricks.

Hurry up and get married, let Attila deal with this pile of shit, I really don't want to take care of it.
