When I walked into the study room with dark blue velvet carpets, there was a feeling of being a stranger in Victoria.

The first time she walked in here, with her father, under the leadership of the former Duke of the North, she saw Francis II, who was still in her prime, and Wales, who was a boy, Moen. At that time, she was still a surviving girl, and the country was as smooth and boring as it has been for centuries, as if it would never change.

The last time she came here, on the eve of the departure to the Jumbo crossing, sitting behind the desk is the return to the Silver Fort in Wales?? Moen, the kingdom is splitting, and a terrible crisis that no one thought of is brewing in the Holy Spirit Plain. .

Now, she has experienced the crisis of nine deaths and is facing the turning point of the fate of this country. The owner here has become the duke of the dead and resurrected. She has a feeling of faintness, as if history is gradually focusing on this room. I am... I am experiencing this.

"Sit down, feel free," Gao Wen stood at the desk and watched the two Dukes of the country go into the room and watched the attendant close the door and said with ease. "We want to talk about the future of this country. problem."

"Yes... Duke," Bai Dewen nodded. He found a position to sit down. His name for Gao Wen was still "Duke" because Gao Wen did not bother now, nor finalized and announced the future framework of the country. For the time being, he can only continue to use the duke to call each other.

"Wait a minute, there is another participant," Gao Wen slammed his right hand and let the two guardian dukes wait. The line of sight fell on the magic net terminal that had just been placed on the desk. "She is establishing a connection." ... The Magic Net here is not very stable and is being debugged."

The two guardian dukes turned their attention to the magical light-guiding machine with a triangular metal base and a crystal core. Victoria was not the first to see the magic net terminal, but the Duke of Berdwin had not seen it before. Through its physical objects, but only from some reports and hand-drawn manuscripts, the Duke of the West has not turned his eyes, and did not hide his curiosity: "This is the magic device that can cheapen the communication?"

Gao Wen nodded: "It can be said that, in fact, it is much better than communication." Although it relies on a complex infrastructure to operate, its scale and unit cost are far from communication. comparable."

"I have imagined how to expand the scope of communication and reduce its spellcasting requirements, which is of great benefit to the economy and the military, but the research has not made any progress," Bai Dewen could not help but get close to the device, as if thinking To understand the principle of it carefully, "...is completely different routes..."

"嗡嗡-"

During the speech, the magic net terminal suddenly made a snoring sound, and then the projection crystal as the core was brightened in an instant. The Duke of Berdwin retreated a little in amazement and saw the holographic projection over the crystal emerged. A beautiful lady in an elegant dress with a calm and elegant look.

"The ancestor, good afternoon," Herti greeted Gao Wen first, then turned to the two dukes, "Franklin Dagong, Wilde Grand Duke, Good afternoon."

She has never seen the Duke of Berdwin, but the kingdom has seen almost all the information of the high-ranking aristocrats. The basic knowledge about the kingdom of Ansu is the content of the textbooks at Cecil College. The people of the South are the top nobility of the country. They are no strangers.

"Good afternoon," Bai Dewen replied with a tribute, and after hesitating a bit, the other party and the intelligence in his mind were matched. "Ms. Heidi Cecil, you are as beautiful as the rumors."

“Thank you for your compliment.”

"We have entered the Silver Fort," Gao Wen said next to him. "Detailed information should have been received on your side."

"Yes, the government office and the frontline communication are unblocked," Herti nodded, with a relaxed smile without a cover. "It's nice to know that you are fighting well--the extra supplies and civilians sent to the north have boarded the ship from Pompeii." Departure, using a fast mechanical boat."

Gao Wen sighed a little: There is a reliable and capable n-sister granddaughter like Herti. It is really worry-free. He basically does not have to worry about logistics and local order. Basically, except for marrying, casting strokes and painting. In addition to black eye scams, Herti has no shortcomings in him...

He sat down at the desk, and the two guardian dukes sat on the two high-back chairs next to him, and with Herti's holographic projection, a teleconference that was not common in this era opened.

"The history of Ansu has ended. The evaluation of this kingdom, the merits of the kings, and the end of it, these historians have to discuss. Now we have to consider how to ensure the stability of the social order and ensure The survival of the people after this disaster, and the end of the disorderly state of the country as soon as possible," Gao Wen looked at Bai Dewen and Franklin, "the system of the division of the lord is behind, but this time at least reflects a benefit - the division of the territory Their respective operations, to some extent, seem to be countless self-sufficient, self-sustaining small kingdoms. The end of Ansu’s royal power does not immediately lead to the collapse of the order of these territories, and we have some time for operation."

"Yes, I discussed this with Victoria," Bai Dewen nodded. "The influence of the two of us in the old country is still there. We will do our best to cooperate with you in this process and minimize it. Rebounding everywhere to ensure the stability of the national restructuring process."

Heti also nodded: "The South is ready for this. The working group and the security forces composed of officials from the governors and the bureaux have been on standby at the Rock Fortress and can go to the north to rebuild the order."

"Reconstructing the northern order requires coordination of local forces to a certain extent. In this respect, the MIB is experienced, and I will let Amber help from the side," Gao Wen said. "The other two guardian dukes will also assist in this process. ”

When he paused, he added: "At present, the number of people in the South is limited. The digestion and control of the government system is limited. It is impossible to eat the whole Ansu in one go. Priority reorganization and reconstruction of the plains of the Holy Spirit. First, restore the production function of the hinterland of the country. , West and North... I will hand it over to Baldwin and Victoria. I will send an administrative official to assist you. Is there no problem?"

The two guardian dukes responded after a brief thought: "No problem."

"In this process, all old nobles must sign to obey the new law, including both of you. At the same time, the two military forces will be transferred to the Military Department of the Supreme Administrative Affairs Office. The original Mountain Army Corps and the Western Army Corps will be subject to reorganization. The garrison of the Office of Government Affairs, "Gao Wen said one by one, "economic, military, political ... must be unified, the system of separation will be terminated, replaced by the law and order of Cecil. Obstruction is inevitable, There may even be regional and periodic iterations, but I hope that everyone will at least be clear: the new era is coming, its advancement is a necessity, and obstacles can arise, but the obstacles must eventually be eliminated."

His eyes swept across Victoria and Berdwin, but the two guardian dukes maintained a light expression, and one was free and easy.

"The era of the royal family of Moen is over, the aristocratic system of the Holy Spirit Plain has collapsed. If there are any factors in this country that are qualified as obstacles, that is the two of us," Bai Dewen said with a smile. "We choose to support you, then The remaining aristocrats are not qualified as obstacles - in this respect, I am still somewhat confident."

"The mountain corps was so badly hurt, but the Wilder family's deterrence against the mountains in the north is still there." Victoria also said briefly.

"Very good. After that, I will use the system of the Principality of Cecil as a template to promote it to the whole country after it has been adapted and improved. I plan to divide Ansu into several provinces with the highest office of the capital as the center. The provincial governor is set up in the province, and then the city administration office is set up as the center of the big city, and the city governor is set up...

"I am the supreme ruler of the country, but I will also obey the law, and my rule over the country will be carried out through the system of the Office of the Government. Under me, the Grand Executive is the head of the Supreme Administrative Office. The current big The governor is Herti, but I plan to add two people, the two guardian dukes... After that, the combination of the three big executives will be the norm until the system is out of date or there is a situation that has to be changed. ......

"The big ruling officer carries out my will and carries out the specific management work of the Supreme Office of Administration, but I should also make recommendations to me in time according to my own judgment...

"The specific implementation method, the Supreme Administrative Office of the Principality of Cecil has accumulated a considerable amount of experience, and the reference can also be discussed with officials in the South..."

Gao Wen said his own ideas, and Heti continued to supplement it. Gradually, Berdwin and Victoria also adapted to the rhythm, from unilateral listening to fruitful communication, which belonged to this place. Francis II, in the study of Wales, Moen, discussed how to restore the order of the country, how to rebuild the damaged production activities in the disaster, and how to establish a new national framework...

In the course of the discussion, Gao Wen’s ideas were also improved a little bit – many of the ideas he put forward are in fact a general framework, and there are even many frameworks that are flawed and wrong, too idealistic. But the greatest significance of his thoughts is its inspiring focus. Under his inspiration, Bai Dewen and Victoria put forward a series of valuable reference ideas, which gradually filled the framework made by Gao Wen.

Even so, the discussions they have today are still destined to be pre-existing and frame-oriented. There are certainly many parts that need improvement and need to be adapted to the actual situation, and even if the framework is doing well, it needs to be implemented later. A lot of trial and error, running-in, adjustment, but also a lot of recurrences and setbacks... The last king of Ansu tried his best to remove the obstacles of change, but the obstacles will never disappear completely. It will take time, manpower, and The three major costs of material resources are slowly solved.

Gao Wen is very clear about this and is also psychologically prepared for it.

Their discussion lasted for a long time, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the passage of time until the sunset outside the window, the lights in the castle area, the discussion came to an end, and the Duke of Berkman Franklin was long. In a tone, ask: "So, we should give a name to this upcoming kingdom."

"The era of the king and the lord is over, it is not a kingdom," Gao Wen said slowly. "It is an empire."

After a pause of two or three seconds, he said in a word: "The Cecil Empire."

He chose to name his empire with his current surname as a new one, and to make a complete distinction with the former "Ansu Kingdom."

He will bury the former Ansu, the ancient and once brilliant kingdom will become history, and its name will become history, both in symbolic and practical sense, the new empire must be with "Ansu" The word is separated, which is one of the measures to reduce the influence of the old forces.

He will also embody his authority in the name of the new empire, ensuring the concentration and efficient operation of power from the side – in order to face the next challenge, in the face of the impending crisis, he must choose to concentrate in a power-oriented way. Improve the efficiency of the society and prepare for the crisis as soon as possible.

The study was silenced for a long time. For a long time, Victoria said softly: "From now on, no matter how you have done it, you have to resist."

"When I chose to lead the army north, I was ready."

"So," Paterson stood up from his chair, "to pay tribute to the Cecil Empire."

Then stood up Victoria: "To pay tribute to the Cecil Empire."

"To pay tribute to the Cecil Empire." Hetty also said.

Gao Wen glanced at the three people and gently exhaled.

"It will deserve your tribute."
