Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World - Chapter 586
“I say, dear brother.”
While his father and brother were talking, Yuriko had been standing by the side playing with his emerald-encrusted ring, and now he suddenly interjected, “Since the industry in Northwest Gulf is so profitable, why not…”
A wicked smile appeared on his face, “Let Graeman dedicate his property to the royal family.”
Hearing this, Prince Jassim also showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
However, the expression on his eldest son’s face froze. He silently walked to the window of his room, closed the window that was originally open, and then returned to his father and younger brother.
He asked his younger brother in a serious tone, “Then why don’t you let Greedy Wolf Giles dedicate his title and territory to the royal family?”
Yuriko showed an exaggerated expression, smiled helplessly and said, “I really want to, but Grand Duke Greedy Wolf must agree.”
Gerd continued to question him: “Then why do you think Earl Gramain will agree?”
Yuriko swung his arms, “Please, please, if I remember correctly, Paul Greiman is just an earl of the Northwest Gulf. Oh, of course, for many people, an earl is a very important title, but for As far as the royal family is concerned, what is an earl at the outskirts of the kingdom? How can he compare with a luxuriant lord like Giles?”
“My brother.” Gerd shook his head, “At the beginning you followed me to the Northwest Bay, but your observations there were only superficial, and you lingered in downtown taverns and noble **** every day. Only in four years Before, most people in Jingyao hadn’t even heard of this place, and those who knew it thought it was an extremely desolate and remote place. Later, because of the development of commerce, many people knew about this place but put it away. As an upstart. But I want to tell you, and people who share your opinion, that the Northwest Gulf is a place with great potential, especially Arda, which is a very powerful earldom, which is the opposite of our usual place. The judging criteria of the lord—the size of the territory and the number of people—are different, and Arda’s strength lies in her farms and workshops, but you just think that there are places where inferior people stay, and you don’t want to follow me to investigate.”
“Oh!” Yuriko was very helpless to his brother’s preaching, and covered his forehead with his hands in some pain.
Gerd ignored his younger brother’s distressed expression, and continued: “In the Northwest Gulf, at least Arda, the organization of production activities is very strict and efficient. I saw those workers in the workshop nervously and orderly. Work, they are divided into individual workshops or groups, each part has its own tasks, they obey and can quickly understand the orders of managers, operate machines, and cooperate with each other. In many factories, the final results require various working groups The production in the Northwest Gulf is like an army composed of different arms, such as pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, archers, and cavalry. Different arms cooperate skillfully to complete the final combat mission. .With such an organization and workers, it is no wonder that a variety of best-selling products can be produced continuously. However, I also saw the other side…”
Gerd paused, and said with a complex expression: “I think with such a strict organization and such qualified workers, Arda can quickly adapt to a war. Those workers can become excellent soldiers with a little training. Obeying management orders and cooperating with other people are part of their daily work. What’s even more frightening is that, according to my immediate inquiry, I think a large proportion of them are literate. Imagine our army What the newly recruited recruits look like, they can’t even tell the left from the right. And the workshop in Arda and those farms that are very similar to the workshop will provide a steady stream of material support for the army—as far as I know, Horn Bay Much of the ordnance in that war came from the Northwest Gulf.”
My brother talked for a long time, but Yuriko said: “Since it is as you said, then we can’t let Graman grow up, and put him under the absolute control of the kingdom while his feathers are not yet full. Under or simply…” He waved his hand fiercely in mid-air.
Gold refuted him: “The consequences of **** off Graham are serious.”
At this time, his father, Prince Jassim, asked, “How serious is it?”
Gerd replied: “As far as I know, Greiman is not only in control of Arda, the other two counties, Beilding and Emden, are also under his control. In addition, the Northwest More than half of the lords in the Gulf are friendly with Graeman, because Graeman is not a person who eats alone, he has brought huge benefits to the lords, and the current Northwest Duke with the highest status on the surface is also in the so-called During the Usurper War, he came to power with the full support of Gravemans. Therefore, my judgment is that once Gravemans launches a rebellion, the damage he can cause to the kingdom will not be inferior to Giles.”
Prince Jassim sighed, “The royal family has been weak for a long time, and it has made the local lords become popular one by one.”
Gerd comforted him: “Father, don’t worry, as far as my observation is concerned, Graham is currently loyal to the royal family, and he is very satisfied with his current situation—I mean the territory he rules—, UU Reading www.uukanshu .com seems to have little interest in grabbing a higher level of power. With his power, it may not be easy to split the kingdom like Giles did, but taking the title of Northwest Duke into his own hands However, the current position of the Ferdinand family in the Northwest Gulf is very secure. Of course, Paul Greiman is not a person who is willing to be mediocre, but his ambition is not in politics. He is an outstanding scholar, businessman, inventor family, but not a schemer and a power freak.”
Prince Jassim nodded and said, “If he is really a politically powerful person with great power, do you… know what to do?”
Gerd: “What do you mean?”
Prince Jassim: “Paul Greiman is not yet familiar with the nobles of Jingyao. It seems that you are the only one who has more contacts with him.”
Gerd thought about it in his heart. It was the king who sent him there at the beginning, and who could not let the brilliant king know that Paul Greiman is a royal worthy of cooperation? Unable to think of it, he said: “It seems to be like this at the moment.”
Prince Jassim said to his eldest son: “Then build a friendship with him, and it is best to make sure that his connection with the Jingyao power circle is through you.”
