Chapter 450 The loyal southern land is waiting for the emperor to come

Derrick toured the White Sand Islands, from the port dock to the artillery base.

As an important route for the empire, the White Sand Islands are well-built.

As core nodes, the islands are all closed, and the base artillery is built by the Imperial Navy.

On the islands that others cannot see, permanent artillery stands.

If there is an external enemy, the firepower can cover the entire White Sand Islands.

The islands are densely populated, and the artillery is an invisible chain.

In addition, there are densely packed port berths.

For the White Sand Islands, there is no need for any heavy industry, and serving the route is its positioning.

Derek inspected one by one, and some photos that did not need to be kept secret would soon spread throughout the empire with newspapers.

For the passing merchant ships, the emperor of the empire was nearby, and the impact on maritime trade was also huge.

However, from time to time, the imperial battleships could be seen passing by, which made up for some regrets.

Derek did not stay for too long, and was ready to return after only three days.

Many people are already nervous about being able to travel this time, and they can no longer be willful.

Only when everyone adapts and adapts to the feeling of His Majesty the Emperor leaving the empire can they take a long journey.

Of course, before leaving, he still boarded an unnamed island.

"The location is a little worse."

Derek climbed up and looked far away. The island was not in the central position of the White Sand Islands, but a little remote.

"There are very few flat islands in the White Sand Islands. This is already our carefully selected one." Adrian was also helpless: "We can only make a plan and strengthen firepower on the nearby islands to effectively cover this side."

Things in the world cannot always go as we wish, and Derek will certainly not be too harsh.

"It's better to be a little remote, after all, it's a secret weapon."

Standing on the hill, Derek seemed to be able to see what the airport would look like after it was built.

The original airport can actually be very simple.

It's just for the safety of the pilots that they try to be perfect.

After a tour, Derek finally got on the ship and returned.

Thanks to the emergence of the telegraph, today's battleships are not deaf on the sea.

Derek was sitting on the boat, still able to obtain all the intelligence of the empire.

It turned out that a short-term absence had no effect on the operation of the empire.

The secret activities of the Eighth Investigation Department were not unusual.

Most people did not dare to be unusual. The empire was like the rising sun, emitting heat, and there was no room for all the demons and monsters to survive.

The imperial fleet continued along the route, and then suddenly turned in the direction of Digen Port.

The next destination... the southern border of the empire.

As the old land of the Locke Kingdom, the south is actually farther away from the current center of the empire.

In fact, the imperial capital is closer to the area with a strong religious atmosphere.

Emotionally, it is closer to the Locke Kingdom.

It has been proven that this is an effective means of rule.

As for the old land of the Griffin Kingdom, it is naturally suppressed and deterred by bloody means.

Count Angelo Chavez is waiting for His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire.

A keen investment, coupled with several years of undercover career, brought him rich returns.

Joining the new empire as a count, the family thrived in the southern border.

Even in the New World, with years of accumulation, it is also a first-tier player.

The Chavez family has jumped from the bottom of the nobility to the top choice of the empire.

Then Count Chavez refused to go to the central government and returned home to take a low-key position.

He knew that he had gained enough, and he was also worried that the emperor would abandon him.

He didn't want to take risks again, after all, the Chavez family was not as good as those old teams.

Now that it has become a first-tier family, it only needs to be passed on steadily.

This is a normal person's concern, so Derek will not force it.

Aggressive or conservative, everyone has their own way of living.

As long as the Chavez family remains loyal, that's all.

Moreover, being low-key is only compared to political stars like Virut.

Locally, the Chavez family is still spreading, and many of the family members serve as local officials.

If the next generation can return to the center of the empire, Count Chavez will also be happy to see it.

For ordinary people or low-level nobles, the Chavez family is also the ceiling in their eyes and the ultimate pursuit of their lives.

However, Count Chavez was a little anxious. In the rebellion some time ago, the Tulu family strictly belonged to the southern faction.

As an old family that has been passed down from the Kingdom of Locke, the inextricable connection between them cannot be cut off.

Although Virut struck hard and eliminated everything in the bud, it still scared Count Chavez.

Especially when Simon came to the south quietly with three guard divisions, his heart almost stopped when he knew it.

There has never been a central government so strong.

When the railway track was built to the doorstep, he was happy for a long time. After all, convenient transportation can bring many benefits.

It was not until he saw Simon moving quickly by train that he knew another role of the train.

A strong central government, coupled with a powerful imperial army, as long as you dare to rebel, guns and cannons will be on your head the next day.

No matter how strong the nobles are, they don’t want to test the hardness of bullets with their heads.

Therefore, all benevolence depends on whether the fist is hard.

Otherwise, with Derek's strength, the local people would have complained in the past, and it would not be as stable as it is now.

If the emperor can hit me with his fist at any time, he is the wise emperor of all ages.

If the emperor can't see me, I am the emperor.

Reality is so simple.

So, when the emperor was about to arrive in his loyal southern land, when General Simon continued to travel in the south with the Guards, Count Chavez and a group of noble officials waited for his arrival.

No one felt impatient, and no one felt that it was a waste of money and labor.

After all, it was our great emperor.

According to the latest instructions of the telegram, the emperor will arrive at the port in half a day.

Early in the morning, a group of nobles stood at the dock and waited.

Anyone with poor physical strength may not be able to hold on to the end.

Count Chavez stood straight, his legs stood firmly, and his eyes looked forward without any fluctuations.

Someone's eyes swept lightly over the count.

Many people are naturally jealous of Count Chavez's behavior.

And in a sense, he is also a traitor of the southern nobles.

No one cares why he betrayed, but they are jealous of his current achievements.

If they were to exchange their bodies, I guess these people would be impatient again.

Silently retreating two steps, the last few nobles who surrendered stood together.

Because they surrendered late, many people were demoted. At that time, they were very grateful to Count Chavez, but after a long time, they felt bad again.
