Chapter 339: The pro-Phoenix King faction
made the students think about it for a long time, but as 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 magic stone from the staff and spoke in a very firm and calm voice.
"Prince, I have a question."
Imrik looked at the cold reactions of the students in the audience. He knew that this young man should be a person who was not very popular in the academy, but what was strange was why he had some feelings for him. It looked familiar, so he said with confusion,
"Of course, no problem is more terrible than having problems, but I would like to ask a question first, have we met somewhere?" "
I am Bernard Archibald."
Well, Qing Randy'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. The preparatory dragon prince who comes here to study only needs to complete the necessary courses such as dragon studies. But judging from his appearance, he seems to be a permanent student.
But the Dragon Prince doesn'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 Randy allowed you to escape the training of the Dragon Prince, but everyone has their own choice, tell your problem." Bernard finally
considered After a moment, he asked a very sensitive question,
"Prince, regarding the colonial plan, can we get the support of the Phoenix Royal Court?"
Imric's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this. This Bernard is a bit interesting. Regarding the colonial plan, The plan for the colony has been announced a long time ago. It can be said that apart from the nominal right to know about the colony, the Phoenix Court has no room for intervention. It is completely dominated by the Dragon Court.
And his intention is obviously not to find material support from the Phoenix King Court, but to let Fenuba 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 of saying one word. The dead Dragon Prince does not intend to use parliament to assist decision-making.
"Unfortunately, the palace has no intention of seeking the support of the Phoenix King. This matter is a national matter in Caledor, not a racial incident in Assur. I believe that as to whether there is compulsory control between the Phoenix King and the prince, you The political science teacher knows better than me."
Imrik's tone was very calm and did not change at all because of this sensitive issue. Therefore, this kid is a pro-Itain faction. No wonder Randy never said anything about his great-grandson. The thing probably made him feel ashamed.
Just when Bernard wanted to explain this issue and just asked if the Phoenix King would support this matter, the person next to him tried to pull him back. It was obvious that the prince did not want to talk about the relationship between Caledor and the Phoenix King here. .
But he still relied on the strong physical fitness brought by his excellent bloodline to force himself to stand on the spot. He took the magic stone and continued to ask a sensitive question. His tone was very urgent, "In the
Ulthuan Code, the Phoenix King has the same status as other races." The power to conduct diplomacy and declare war, and the colonial movement will undoubtedly have a lot of contact with other races, so it may not be a good choice for Caledo to conduct it alone." These words made the atmosphere in the lecture hall cool down, and Elvis pulled
him The dean who stepped down was even more angry and stamped his feet. This young man who had returned from two years of exchange at Lothern College was simply bewildered. He usually just preached the greatness of the Phoenix King in the college, but ended up running in front of Imrik. Do this.
Even though Imrik would have cared less, his great-grandfather Randy would not have condoned the offense.
Prince Long was stunned by this question. This man was indeed a bit stubborn. Even if you were a fool, you couldn't possibly think that you didn't have the power to declare war.
Who cares about the Phoenix King's thoughts, not to mention the political protection brought by Caledo and the three Phoenix Kings? Even if he upset the world, politically no one would dare to openly confront Caledo.
"I have to say that your way of thinking... is a bit unique." Imrik chose a word that was as tactful as possible instead of directly scolding him for being ridiculously stupid.
"I don't want to talk too much about the relationship between the Phoenix King's Court and the courts of various kingdoms, but I can give you an idea. First of all, take the arms output of the Vaal Anvil before I took the throne as an example. Even if the Vaal Church goes all out In the past, the annual output was only about 21,500 sets." "
Last year's output report was 46,000 sets. In One Piece 136, Caledo's The fiscal revenue is 170,000 gold leaf coins, while in 139, it was 530,000 gold leaf coins. And once Chulong Bay is on track, the fiscal revenue is expected to increase by 4% within two years. Ten."
"Not to mention the large number of various commodities flowing into the country. I believe that each of you can drink wine from Itaien or Avalon instead of the fine wine from Lord Ronin's family winery, Sarver Rui's fruits and vegetables can also be supplied in season, and the prices are within a reasonable range. This is a realistic and practical matter." "I don't want to discuss too much about the differences in political ideas between my late father and me
. , this is not an escape, but just out of respect for the deceased. Moreover, there must be teachers in the college doing relevant research on this matter, and they will undoubtedly have a deeper understanding of the differences between Caledo and the past in recent years. The difference is, I have not signed a document prohibiting relevant political research, you can ask them." Imrik paused and considered the words. After all, there were so many young people in the audience, so it would not be inappropriate to directly call him a fool. good.
This kind of pro-Itain thought needs to be paid more attention to, and domestic ideologies must be controlled. The era of maritime trade opened by Fenubar has caused some ideological trends in Ulthuan, although Caledor is still there for the time being. I have no intention of questioning the dominance of the Dragon Tamer family, but I have to be careful.
"Obviously, Caledor cannot rely on the Phoenix Court to support the healthy development of the country. Bernard, please remember that Caledor is a country, not a warlord force. I need to consider how the country operates smoothly. Perhaps getting the support of the Phoenix King can make the colony run more smoothly, but in the long run, this is not an appropriate move." Imrik
bluntly pointed out the core of the problem. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Caledor He is just Ulthuan's top thug, and many people even in his own country maintain this idea.
Bernard just wants to have Caledo take down the colony and then hand it over to the Phoenix King for management. Caledo 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 will be a waste of time. People and money can be invested, but political influence is not enough. This is the bottom line.
The last one to do this was Nagaryth led by Malekith. As a result, all the benefits were taken away by the Phoenix King. I will not make such a mistake. The colony must listen to me, and no one can do it. .
The Dragon Prince's speech received fierce applause. Young people are a group with the strongest national consciousness. 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 habit His tough attitude will capture the strong mentality of young people. We Caledo can conquer a world by ourselves!
Bernard looked a little embarrassed during the applause. Although the Dragon Prince's words were euphemistic, the meaning was clear. The Phoenix Royal Court was not qualified to interfere in Caledor's affairs, and he was also a fool in his eyes. He didn't even understand the laws of the country's operation. .
Bernard, who was born into a prominent family, sat back down. Perhaps he firmly believed that the Phoenix King was the leader who could lead Asul to glory, but in the eyes of others, he was just another poor guy who was successfully deceived by Fenubar.
"Please continue to express your opinions. I personally also like to communicate with young people. I will always gain a lot from your diversity of thinking." A female
student raised her hand and stood up rather cautiously. Said,
"Prince, can you let the students of the academy participate in the management of the colony? Although I don't want to say this, some people in Caledo are really talented in civil work, not fighting." "According to the plan,
No. A group of people going to Lustria will be the army, but after that..."
She thought about the words for a while and said a decent word,
"Humans from Kislev, and buildings from Ulthuan. The team will definitely be large in number, and the army needs to defend against local enemies, so it may be difficult to effectively control it."
Imrik's attitude towards this little girl is undoubtedly much better than Bernard's, and this sounds like a lot Shun Er requires people with this kind of dedication.
"Of course, what I have always insisted on is that young people are the future of the kingdom. Caledo's management system does have some problems, and even I know this very well." "In the grassroots towns, most of the managers are from the military
. , they are highly respected and can immediately organize the militia to protect their homeland in critical moments. I am very grateful for their selfless efforts to help the sparse Dragon Palace solve many things." "But once they deal with complex official affairs, I think they
still I would rather go to the battlefield to kill the enemy than lie on the desk flipping through documents." "
The colony will become a place where multi-ethnic people live. Reasonable and effective management is urgently needed. I will ask the dean to recommend some outstanding candidates every year. When students go to the colony, they will first do grassroots work. If they are willing and perform well, they can apply to serve as officials in the colony." After saying so many words, Imrik couldn't help but
pick up the teapot and take a sip of water. For these students, then He is a perfect tool man, with dedication, energy, and loyalty to the country.
Even the grassroots managers in the country must at least have served in the military for fifty years, 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. However, after being a soldier for such a long time, they have long forgotten what they learned. Basically, the management methods are somewhat similar to military control.
Coupled with the arrogance tainted in the military and the contempt for other races, the domestic management method is not necessarily suitable for the colonies.
You have to control the general direction yourself, and it might be better to let these relatively simple students do the grassroots work in the colony.
However, when I saw 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. We are all our own people, so we have to be careful not to use bad words. You have to consider the causes and consequences when speaking, so as not to let these young people get into trouble and come up with something.
Get married as soon as possible and let Adila handle this mess. I really don't want to deal with it.
