Chapter 399: Unification is imminent

Viru looked through the documents accumulated by the Ministry of War and had a general understanding of the current military situation.

Although he had been moving back and forth in the army and had a better understanding of all aspects, he was still narrow-minded.

It was not until he saw the documents of the Ministry of War that he knew some secret details.

"The number of noble officers is so small? It's less than 10%."

This was what surprised Viru. ​​He usually came into contact with many noble officers and could feel the power of noble officers, so he always thought that the proportion of traditional nobles in the army was not low.

Of course, this refers to the descendants of noble families that have existed since the Locke Kingdom, or the nobles who now have fiefs.

Those noble titles that were awarded for merit are not counted, otherwise the number would be too large.

But before we knew it, the proportion of traditional nobles was already very low. It seemed like a raging fire, but in fact it would not be long.

Moreover... there were too many newly-awarded lifelong nobles, which greatly diluted the value of the nobles.

The entire aristocratic class is constantly expanding, but the power is relatively more dispersed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the expansion of the principality, the transition was very low-key.

The most important thing is, why does the Army Department have such detailed statistics, and why did they specifically let him see it?

Who would count such things for no reason?

Virut does not believe in coincidences, most coincidences are long-planned.

There are many people who have the ability to do this, but only one person has the motivation.

Does the Duke really want to attack the nobles?

Virut smoked a few cigarettes and felt that it was unlikely.

Of course, everything depends on the specific situation. Maybe the person above has changed his mind.

Putting away the documents, he pretended that nothing had happened, and he would observe and speculate carefully next.

At present, he actually has two problems in his hands. The first one is of course the big event of destroying the Griffin Kingdom.

The other one... What does this guy Lawrence want to do?

Seeing the approval document transferred from the Duke, Virut was furious.

Do your job in your position. Since he is the Minister of the Army, he must consider the interests of the entire Army Department.

And from his point of view, what does the Colonial Navy Command want to do with the command of the Army?

"No, we can cooperate with them in the battle on the ground, but the Navy cannot interfere in the affairs of the Army Department."

Virut couldn't sit still and rushed out with the documents.

If he had agreed to this plan just after taking this position, what would the people below think?

Derrick was not surprised by Virut's arrival. Now everyone works together and they will meet more often on a daily basis.

"Are you here for the colony?" Derek asked knowingly.

"Yes, Duke." Virut sat down and started to criticize: "Lawrence is over-inflated. The Navy should do its job well. Otherwise, shouldn't our Army form a fleet?"

Virut talked a lot of reasons and quoted classics.

If Lawrence stood in front of him, he might have taken action.

Speaking of it, Lawrence was just a junior and had no status in front of him, so he could criticize him as he wanted.

Derrick was not surprised at all, so he just transferred the documents to the Army Department instead of agreeing directly.

"Since your Army Department disagrees, you should give him a reply." Derek said so, then sat on the sofa beside him, lit a cigarette and asked: "Are you adapting to the work of the Army Department?"

"It's okay. I've fought for more than ten years, and it's time for me to take a break." Virut was very calm.

"At your age, you should come back to take care of your family. Besides, it's not a big deal to work on the front line for a lifetime. There are more opportunities when you come back." Derek said a few more words. After all, he is an old team.

As for the issue of the nobles, he didn't say anything, and he didn't plan to take any action for the time being.

Since the nobles exist, they have a meaning of existence.

There are parliamentarians without nobles, and there are representatives without parliamentarians. They are essentially the same.

The blood inheritance of power is a stubborn disease. It has been a cycle for hundreds of years. There is nothing new.

Even the difference between the fiefdom nobles and the lifelong nobles is just a name. The real boss can also leave his political legacy to future generations.

The waste-like heirs can also throw away the fiefdom.

What he wants to do is not to eliminate this class, but to suppress and disperse power, and finally consolidate the royal power.

Otherwise, if he doesn't want to be a good king, why should he practice democracy?

Virut doesn't understand these things now, so let him be confused. When the dust settles, he will naturally understand them.

The two chatted about some gossip, but Virut didn't find out anything after all.

When he returned to the office, the first thing he did was to reply to the Colonial Navy Command.

He directly gave a severe rebuke for the act of encroaching on his power.

His words were impolite, but he didn't care about Lawrence's feelings.

It's not good to sit in this position and be harmonious. The monarch may not care, but I must pay attention.

It just so happens that Lawrence jumped out and became a target.

After the reply letter was sealed and sent through the domestic postal system, Virut began to sort out the army department.

...

The battle of the Griffin Kingdom is very important in meaning, but in fact no one in the upper echelons pays special attention to it.

Everything has come to fruition, it's just a matter of one day earlier or later.

The maritime trade routes have also been completely unified, and all fleets have hung the flag of the Northern Principality.

From now on, the Southern Continent will have only one voice, a behemoth with a population of over 70 million.

The white-skinned people from the distant continent felt this most directly.

As different races with different skin colors, their feelings changed significantly.

A superpower, a technologically advanced superpower, a superpower with a strong military, brought a very strong sense of oppression.

They should be grateful for the long distance, otherwise they could not imagine what kind of situation they would face.

The news that the southern continent was about to be unified spread to the southern coast of the New World, which immediately triggered a chain reaction.

The colonies of various countries were in a state of panic, fearing that this superpower would erode their colonies.

In particular, the fleet of the Jewel Port became more and more presumptuous, even crossing the territory of the Lionheart United Kingdom in the front and began to appear on the coastline of other countries.

The terrifying steel giant warship brought an extremely huge sense of oppression.

Although the commercial channels between the two sides have been opened, there is almost no formal official communication.

The barriers of different languages, cultures and skin colors are not so easy to eliminate.

Especially for the white skins who are used to enslaving black slaves, the arrogance in their hearts is not so easy to wash away.

Especially in the homeland, perhaps many people still think that yellow and black are the same color.

However, now in the New World, the officials here can no longer turn a deaf ear to the truth.
