Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 153 War breaks out

"Your Majesty, the Royal Society of Medicine has sent you an invitation to attend this year's annual medical meeting, and plans to award you a special contribution medal." Lieutenant Mikhail reported to Purficott, because the old housekeeper In his absence, Befa was sent by Purficott to take charge of the hospital. He temporarily acted as Purficott's attendant.

Purficott was not surprised when she heard the news. She just shook her head slightly and said, "Refuse for me. I don't have time to go back and attend to these things now! I can't leave the current situation in the North."

Lieutenant Mikhail nodded slightly, took note of Purficott's answer, put aside the invitation letter with the emblem of the Royal Society of Medicine in his hand, picked up another invitation letter and said: "In addition to the Royal Society of Medicine , the Royal Society of Alchemists and the Royal Society of Engineers have also sent you invitations to attend their annual meetings, and they have also said that they will award you medals for your achievements in the fields of alchemy and engineering last year.

In addition, many universities such as Royal Langton University, Imperial University, Best Royal College, and St. John's University have sent you invitations to give lectures at these schools, and they have also expressed their willingness to hire you as an honorary professor. …”

"Refuse them all, I don't have time to play these games with them!" If it was a year ago, these invitations would have made Perfectcott very happy, two years ago it would have made her extremely happy, and three years ago she would have been even more excited. jumped up, but now she felt nothing but boredom.

As the saying goes, when you are famous or rich, you are surrounded by good people. When Perficott was just a penniless heir to a baron and an orphan, no one really cared about what she had achieved. achievements.

Even if she became the youngest royal chartered alchemist and engineer in Langton's history, others would only think that this was the legacy of her parents.

She wanted to prove herself by becoming a professor at Royal Langton University, but all she encountered was sexism.

But when Purficott became the guardian of the north, the earl of empire development, held military and political power, and also created amazing creations such as airships and steam knights, everyone's attitude towards her changed 180°. Turn.

The Royal Society and the various universities in Longton, which had previously ignored her, were now rushing to curry favor with her, and the teaching posts that she had once dreamed of were placed in front of her for her to choose from.

It's all so magical, yet so real.

However, Purficott lost interest in this. Her only concern now is how to solve the various problems faced by the North.

Solving the problems of the medical system is just a matter of convenience. What she needs now is to return to the north, return to her laboratory, and transform the ideas that she has built in her mind during this free time into further designs. And perfect and practice it.

As for the so-called honors, medals and titles, they cannot help her work much, so why should she waste her precious time?

Second Lieutenant Mikhail obviously didn't adapt to Purfict's attitude. In his opinion, Purfict had received so many invitations, so why should he return to Langton to accept medals and honors from the Royal Society? right.

For ordinary people, these things are what they dream of throughout their lives. Even if Purficott doesn't care about these things, the medals awarded by the Royal Society are recognition of her achievements. Why doesn't she even accept these?

However, although Second Lieutenant Mikhail did not understand, he still had the professional ethics of a soldier. He did not express his doubts, but carefully recorded Purficott's order and prepared to execute it. "Well, it's not good to refuse too directly. You can go to the Governor's Mansion later to ask the Governor to borrow his secretary, and use a more tactful tone to say that due to the heavy snowfall in the north in the winter, transportation is inconvenient and there are many affairs in the territory. I will temporarily Unable to leave the North." Purficott still seemed to be worried, so he added another sentence to Mikhail.

"Yes, Lord Count." Second Lieutenant Mikhail crossed his legs to show that he remembered.

Purficott nodded and waved her hand to signal him to go do something, while she kept her attention focused on a document she was writing in front of her.

This is an idea that Purficott has been working on recently. It has begun to take shape, and Purficott is recording it and taking it back to her laboratory in the north to refine it.

However, just when Lieutenant Mikhail was about to leave, there was a sudden knock on the door. The governor's secretary broke into the room that was temporarily used as an office by Purficott and said loudly to her: " Your Majesty, there is an urgent call from Langton! France has declared war on the Empire and calls you back to Langton immediately!"

"What did you say?" Purficott stood up from his chair in surprise.

Even Lieutenant Mikhail on the side was stunned for a long time before he reacted. It was obvious that France's declaration of war on the empire was beyond his imagination.

"The latest news just received. France, together with Ross and Saint Romulus, declared war on the empire on the grounds that the empire was developing weapons that threatened world security. They claimed that this was to 'remove the threat to world peace. ', the empire has entered a state of emergency war. Langton sent a telegram calling you to return home immediately. Both the military and the royal family expressed their need for your wisdom and assistance." The governor's secretary hurriedly explained, and at the same time handed the telegram to Per Ficot.

After receiving the telegram, Purficott quickly browsed through it and felt that his mind was buzzing.

"At this time! At this time! How dare they! How dare they declare war on the empire at this time! How can they declare war on the empire at this time!" Purficott felt like she was losing everything. It feels like all my efforts are meaningless at this moment.

The end of the world is imminent, but at this critical moment, mankind has chosen a full-scale war that affects the countries of the old world!

Humanity has entered the era of industrialization. The liberated productivity has brought about many times more full-time troops and more advanced weapons than in the feudal era. What this has brought about is a comprehensive war that far exceeds the scale of all wars in the feudal era. war!

Both mobilization capabilities and war potential far exceed those of the feudal era. The participating countries will apply everything they have accumulated after entering the industrial era to this war. This is by no means a short-term or small-scale exchange of fire. The war can be ended under the circumstances.

Even if it is delayed for just one year, the empire's plan to deal with the doomsday will be seriously affected, and may eventually lead to the failure of the entire plan!
