Chapter 287 Junkers (4)

"It's us who made the empire great again!"

Bell looked at Justice Weilun seriously.

Justice Weilun was silent for a moment, and he remembered again the huge debt he and his companions were facing now.

Thinking about the Bergman family behind Bell and the circle to which the Bergman family belongs, Justice Weilun nodded a little against his will: "Yes, it's you who made the empire great again... After all, without money, you can't do anything!"

Bell laughed.

"Yes, I can't do anything without money."

"Seventy years ago, how embarrassed was the empire at that time? We were not born at that time, but we learned from our elders that the dismal situation of the empire at that time."

"The army has no money to purchase military supplies, the government has no money to pay salaries, and the local government has no money to maintain municipal government."

"Even... the roof of Hydra Palace was smashed by a meteorite, and there was no money to repair it. On rainy days, His Majesty and the ministers would discuss the affairs of the government in the leaking hall."

"The weak empire is in chaos."

"In the northwest, the Duchy of Canglang supported by the Highland Kingdom repeatedly invaded the territory; in the northeast, the army of the Lucia Empire passed through the Lulai Plain and continued to erode the imperial territory; in the southwest, the imperial army was beaten by bandits and ran away; in the southeast, the lords were ready to move and attempt to be independent."

"There is no money to pay military salaries and purchase military supplies. The imperial army's morale has been declining, and its morale has almost collapsed. The entire empire is facing fragmentation."

"The government has no money to pay salaries, officials at all levels are negligent and leave their posts, the imperial administrative system is almost collapsed, Her Majesty's decree... At that time, it was claimed that the decree did not go out of the Hydra Palace... because no one upholds the decree to do things, no one is willing to do things seriously."

"And the place... the dam collapsed, floods everywhere; the municipal government was corrupt, and it was a mess... I heard that at that time, the sewers were filled with dirt, and the streets were covered with feces and urine stains... Oh, oh, it was simply a dirty garbage dump."

"Because of lack of money, the entire empire was about to collapse and completely die out... Even at that time, in the northern ice ocean, there was only a naval fleet that resisted the invasion of the barbarians of the Snowfield. Because of lack of money, several old-fashioned battleships were burned by the barbarians, the empire could not afford to replenish the ships."

"A huge empire actually allowed a group of barbarians who were still in tribal civilization to harass... They invaded the inland from the northern ice ocean. In just a few years, hundreds of large and small towns were attacked, robbed, and captured and captured as slaves in the empire's people in one million."

Bell filled himself with another glass of strong wine and swallowed it in one gulp.

He simply put the wine glass aside, grabbed the huge 15-liter bottle, put the bottle mouth close to his mouth and took a few sips.

“We changed all this.”

"Because of the Junkeen Order, our ancestors saw hope of changing their destiny, they all donated generously, even without hesitation to destroy their families to serve the country."

"Seventy years ago, when the empire was the weakest, the most turbulent, and the country was in the most difficult situation, the Bergman family donated 175 million gold marks to the empire for the first time...175 million gold marks seventy years ago, Lord Weilun, 175 million gold marks seventy years ago..."

"For this money, the Bergman family took time out almost all the liquid cash and mortgaged 90% of the family's property to the Royal Bank of the Ice Sea Kingdom."

Justice Weilun nodded slowly: "I have studied this history... Because of your donation, the Bergman family has obtained the reputation of "Environment", obtained the status of aristocratic status, and the title is "Duke"!"

Justice Weilun raised his wine glass and took a sip of the mellow wine: "The patriarch of the Bergman family then entered the Imperial Noble House and had the power to be the executive elder. Moreover, he became the Speaker of the Ruhr City Council, and was also enthroned by the emperor to manage all economic-related industries such as commerce, industry, agriculture, and mining in the Ruhr City region."

Justice Weilun stared at the red wine in the wine glass, and murmured: "In the modern history of the empire, there are special chapters that describe this history... 'The Rise of Juncker', I remember the name of this chapter."

"Yes, Junker's rise." Bell sighed: "We saved the empire, do you admit this point?"

Justice Weilun nodded vigorously... He did not fully agree with this opinion. It was not only Jinmak who saved the empire, but also swords, artillery, Her Majesty's wise decision, and the bloody sacrifice of the Teutonic nobles.

It is impossible to make a huge empire great again by relying solely on Jinmak.

Only spirit, will, blood, with these more noble and precious things, combined with the golden golden mark, can a huge country be made great again and reborn in the fire.

In the Medlands continent, there are extremely rich countries, but there are more countries that are bullied all day long... For example, the neighbors of the Deren Empire, the United Kingdom of Nice, where golden light is sprayed in their pores... They are the richest countries in the Medlands continent, but no matter the Deren Empire, the Ice Sea Kingdom, or the Saint-Shia Kingdom... whoever wants to bully them can step on it.

Even the Lucian Empire can knead them from time to time. Do you see if there is any way for the United Kingdom of Nice?

So, the Golden Mark cannot represent everything.

Of course, Justice Weilun will not refute any of Bell's opinions at this moment.

"Everything we have now is the reward we deserve," said Bell deeply. "The title, power, and the positions in government departments, in the army... including our increasingly large property, our factories, our mines, our forests, our fields, our estates and villages that we are growing every year."

"We, bring the empire back to life...we, maintain the operation of the empire."

"We have made so much contribution to the empire, so we should enjoy certain privileges."

Bell looked at Justice Weilun deeply: "Now, in Ruhr City, something extremely ugly is happening... The Empire has recovered, the Empire is powerful, and the Empire has become great again, so... I have burned the bridge across the river, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, shameless, ugly..."

"Several noble, glorious, decent heads of the family are being sued by the court."

"Oh, tax evasion, smuggling, human trafficking, communication with enemy countries...these charges..."

Bell looked at Justice Weilun with great depth: "These charges... are shameless and boring, they are simply... making our hearts bleed!"

"Yes, I admit that each of our companies has a bit of tax evasion. We did sell some more sensitive goods to some foreign customers... Of course, we cannot avoid purchasing some beautiful girls to meet the normal physiological needs of ourselves and our customers... When some of our customers inquire about some news, we gave them some of the news we knew at a small amount of insignificant friendship price."

"Even said that when our operations in a certain field are threatened, we will use some small means to protect the interests of our family... In this process, there will inevitably be some violent means, and several people will inevitably be killed or injured... Even those emerging families who want to invade our family's interests may say... I mean, they may say that if they accidentally, the entire family will encounter some unfortunate accidents!"

"Isn't this a normal business method? It's all about protecting our family's interests."

"To be more honest, indeed, Ruhr City, including the Ruhr City area, and even several nearby provinces... all the officials of all sizes and all the government departments are our people... This is because our tribe members perform well, right?"

"To put it bluntly, indeed, Ruer City, including the Ruer City area, and even several nearby provinces... our people are all in the garrison, police station, court, public security team, and even the Supervision Department... But isn't this very normal? We have so many excellent tribe members, so we always have to arrange a good position for them."

"More...well, Ruhr City, and the militias in the Ruhr City area... Seventy years ago, when the empire was in turmoil, when foreign enemies and internal bandits were raging in the empire, they were the militias in Ruhr City. They grabbed weapons directly from the factory production line and put them into battle, and ultimately defended the interests of the country and the honor of the royal family."

"Ruer City, the militia in the Ruer City area, is this a tradition, a very excellent and beneficial tradition, isn't it?"

"Of course, I admit that in the past twenty years, the organization of militia troops has been a bit large... If you accidentally do, the number of militias participating in daily training has exceeded one million... But in our Ruhr City and Ruhr City areas, hundreds of families of all sizes, everyone has factories and mines... Just one million militias, if they spread them equally, how many can each family have?"

Justice Weilun began to rub his temples hard.

Do you think this group of damn Super Junkers are not enough?

Tax evasion, smuggling and selling the country, and even you formed an army of millions under the eyes of the imperial capital...

You control local power, you are involved in the police, judicial and supervision systems, and you even put your hands into the army... The Ruhr City area is already a country in the middle of the country.

Executive power, judicial power, and most importantly, the power of guns... What do you guys with big heads and big ears and fat stomachs want to do?

With Her Majesty’s character, it would be a huge miracle that she could tolerate such things for more than ten or twenty years!

If it were the most lawless and reckless years when Her Majesty the Queen had done the most, you would have been searched and destroyed, and a single head would have been chopped off.

According to the news that Justice Weilun received from Ruhr City, until now, the imperial officials are only following normal procedures and conducting formal trials on the major families in Ruhr City based on the evidence of all aspects of the collected crimes!

Her Majesty the Queen acts in accordance with the law without using the supreme privileges of the royal family!

Are you still not satisfied, aren’t you grateful?

"What do you mean?" Justice Weilun asked Bell very carefully.
