Chapter 422 The beginning of the drama

When this huge battlecruiser moves, it's like a mountain moving.

The waves brought up during sailing will capsize a Warrior class of a few sizes if it comes too close.

Standing on the deck, a sense of power arose spontaneously, as if nothing in the world could stop such a weapon of war.

"Has the technology of the Northern Principality advanced to this point?" Councilor Joy was extremely shocked.

Only with an in-depth understanding can we understand the industrial strength represented by the shipbuilding industry.

A gigantic ship cannot be built just by thinking about it.

The consumption of steel alone is very troublesome to supply.

Therefore, Councilor Joy’s shock is unimaginable to outsiders.

The Northern Principality is so powerful, it's like they arrived in the New World for the first time.

We should be grateful for the distant maritime distance, otherwise how could the mainland resist this behemoth?

Of course, worry is just a momentary thought. For Congressman Joy, if he can live a better life, it doesn't really matter which country he is in.

The greed of the local people was a greater threat to him than the northern principality.

"When such a giant ship comes, how should you, Duke Harrington, respond?"

Congressman Joy felt very happy when he thought about the other party's expression as if he was eating shit.

…

At this time, Representative White was also very distressed. He was counting the time every day, hoping that Joey and Sanger would come back quickly.

They all underestimated the native country's coveting of the colonies.

Since Duke Harrington arrived, he quickly gathered a group of people.

After all, the former occupies a righteous position, and given the inherent concept, how can a mere colonial parliament compete with the mainland?

For middle- and lower-class businessmen, no matter who is the ruler, they should pay a lot of taxes. Isn't it reasonable to support the strong?

As for friendship, talking about friendship with a pure businessman is like telling a joke.

If that's all, forget it. Congressman White's faction has been deeply entrenched for more than 20 years and is not easy to overthrow.

But Duke Harrington didn't take it easy. He had already made preparations before he came.

People are arrogant and have confidence. They have long thought that the local council will not willingly hand over power and interests.

But he didn't expect that the local council's resistance would be so fierce.

Fortunately, arrangements were made in advance. First, a fleet arrived at the colony, and a new type of ironclad ship appeared among them.

Then there were the five thousand soldiers borrowed by Duke Harrington from other kingdoms and colonies through personal connections.

Although these soldiers were not uniformly dressed and their weapons and equipment were in a mess, they were a firearms army after all.

With the troops in hand and the suppression of his status, Duke Harrington was confident.

These days, there have been attempts to hold parliamentary elections and occupy the position of speaker.

Although Congressman White's faction tried their best to stop it, they could not avoid losing several seats to the other party.

No, there's bad news coming again.

“Harrington acquired several small factories, supposedly to compete with our machine shops.

Moreover, he announced that he would deprive Representatives Sanger and Joy of their posts because they had been away from their posts for a long time. "

After hearing this bad news, Representative White slammed the table angrily: "Didn't I tell you before, Representative Joy and Representative Sanger are on business, and this has been recorded in the parliament. "

“The filing disappeared.”

"Is there someone else in the parliament who has defected to them?"

White was in a very bad mood, and various news showed that his situation was already very dangerous.

"Sure enough, I still underestimated these rotten bastards."

They may not be good at opening up new territories, but they are definitely good at picking peaches.

…

"I said, why are a bunch of country bumpkins fighting with us?"

Duke Harrington raised his glass and had already opened the champagne to celebrate.

The noble blood came to this barbarian land, but a group of country bumpkins dared to offend them.

It was clear that they should be allowed to take whatever they wanted, but who gave them the courage to resist?

Duke Harrington never felt that what he did was wrong.

This is a tradition formed over thousands of years. Everything belongs to the nobles and can be taken away at any time.

Therefore, he did not think that he was here to rob or anything. This was his own property, and he was just letting a group of despicable people temporarily preserve it.

Another noble took a sip of strong wine and vented his dissatisfaction: "Yes, that White is barely considered a member of the nobles, but who do the others count?

Merchants, sailors, and blacksmiths simply defiled the sacred royal authority. "

The local parliament here has been separated from the kingdom for a long time. Do you really think that the House of Commons is a civilian parliament?

Any kind of person can serve as a member of parliament, and there are no rules at all.

They believe that it is precisely because of the existence of a group of untouchables that they dare to resist themselves.

Duke Harrington maintained his demeanor and said calmly: "Don't worry, since they have offended the majesty of the nobles, then I will deprive them of everything little by little and let them understand that untouchables should go and be treated as they should." Wherever there is, mud should stay in the stinking ditch.”

He wants to use these despicable guys to establish his power, otherwise wouldn't others follow suit in the future?

"Tomorrow, let the untouchables who have taken refuge make the proposal to remove that sailor first." Duke Harrington ordered.

He must first remove these unqualified people from the parliament.

Where Sanger went is no secret.

Duke Harrington thought it didn't matter. No matter how powerful the Northern Principality was, could it still come to the Kingdom's territory?

As for those rumors, he thought they were exaggerated by the local councils. Since domestic scholars had already studied it and built ironclad ships, what was there to be afraid of?

Is there really an intelligence gap?

Duke Harrington thought he had seen through everything and felt there was nothing to worry about.

Soon, he would be able to control the local council and hold this fertile territory in his hands.

In fact, at this time, Sanger was already very close to the base camp.

The speed of the colonial fleet was faster than expected, and the huge warships had a speed advantage that did not match their size.

The local council, which knew nothing about this, was officially holding a meeting.

Councillor White smiled very reluctantly, and beside him was Duke Harrington.

Before he could speak, a councillor suddenly stood up.

"I propose to remove Sanger from his position as a councillor."

Councillor White was in a bad mood. According to the rules, he should say a few words first and then propose the bill in turn.

These bastards really have no shame in order to show their loyalty to their new master.

Duke Harrington, who was standing by, glanced at them and said carelessly, "This congressman, please tell me your proposal. If it is reasonable, the parliament will definitely agree."
