The Imperial Court has reached a consensus on the situation in the North. Facing the elite legion of the Art County Alliance, the Northern Legion with too many recruits is seeking death if they fight attack with attack.

Relying on the fortress to defend it is the only feasible strategy.

Pure defense consumes a lot of energy of soldiers, especially when they may be besieged without support. Soldiers' fighting will is far more useful to war than techniques and tactics.

The northern border is definitely an extremely difficult war. If the imperial emperor's eldest grandson appears on the front lines to fight the enemy together with the soldiers, it will definitely boost the morale of the army.

Moreover, Xin Kelai had served in the Northern Territory for a long time and knew the advantages and disadvantages of various units in the Northern Territory, so he was able to smoothly mobilize the command of the newly added Northern Territory Army.

To supervise the war in the north, Xin Kelai is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

But no one in the palace dared to raise it publicly.

Xinkelai is the only son of the eldest prince Fania, and the only grandson of the empire now.

In order to protect Sinkelai, Fania did not allow him to go to the southern front to participate in the war.

You must know that on the southern front against the Tedga Hills, the Empire has the military advantage as the attacker, and with the protection of General Qiao Shuer, Zink's safety when traveling to the southern front can still be guaranteed.

Devour

In the north, the empire is on the defensive. Facing the initial strong attack of the Yate County Alliance, the northern border will inevitably lose a large area of ​​territory and troops. No one can guarantee that the Northern Army can block the attack of the Yate County Alliance.

Possibly died accidentally during the war.

At this time, who dares to publicly suggest that Xin Ke come to the north to supervise the war? No matter how the war in the north goes, if the eldest prince Fania ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely be liquidated.

Therefore, when Luke proposed to send Xink to the north, the meeting immediately became cold.

Everyone glanced at the eldest prince Fania indifferently, waiting for his reaction.

Without waiting for too long, Fania said to Luke with an unhappy expression: "Sinkelai has a distinguished status and is related to the inheritance of the future empire. The north is too dangerous and he is not the most suitable candidate."

The ministers looked at Luke again.

Luke said: "His Royal Highness, you should know the Northern Territory better than we do. If there is a suitable general who can command the newly added Northern Territory Army, this selection will not be delayed until now.

There is a complete fortress group in the north. As long as the north can block the initial offensive of the Art County Alliance, the war can be dragged out into a protracted war. By then, whether the New West Army has completed its reorganization, the southern front has won the war, or something else

The army can support the northern border, and the war will take a turn for the better.

And if the northern fortress group is breached, the Yate County Alliance's army will march straight into the hinterland of the empire and then attack the imperial capital.

If you want to hold the northern border, you must let the new recruits know that the imperial royal family is with them.

If His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince feels that Xin Ke is not suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess can do so."

Agatha immediately said to Queen Christina: "I can go to the North. According to the information currently obtained by the Secret Service, the attack of the Art County Alliance will probably be advanced to early winter. If there is no commander in the North, there is no way to stop the opponent.

s attack."

Agatha asked for a battle. Queen Christina considered Meteor's proposal and the overall situation in the North, and said: "The matter of who will be the commander of the North cannot be delayed any longer. Although I don't know much about military affairs, I also know the role of the army in defensive battles.

Morale is very important.

Facing the Yate County Alliance, the empire's old enemy, the empire must use the highest standards of means to deal with it, and let the soldiers guarding the empire's borders know that the royal family is with them.

Agatha is in charge of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service and must stay in the center to supervise intelligence from all parties. She can no longer stay away from the imperial capital like she did to the West.

Northern Territory…I’m going!”

Everyone in the conference room was shocked by the Queen's decision.

Now, due to health reasons, Emperor Augustine has handed over full power of the country to the queen. The queen's trip to the north is equivalent to the emperor's personal visit, which will definitely improve morale much more than that of the emperor's grandson or the eldest princess.

but……

Chief Assistant Gabriel immediately said: "Your Majesty the Queen! You still need to handle state affairs on behalf of Your Majesty and cannot leave the imperial capital easily."

Other ministers also said that the queen could not leave the imperial capital and suggested that another suitable person should be chosen.

Queen Christina said extremely insistently: "The biggest political issue in the empire now is the crisis in the north. If the north is lost, I won't have the face to face your majesty. I might as well die in the north."

As for government affairs...

I have convened many imperial cabinet meetings on behalf of His Majesty, and I feel that the cabinet is fully capable of handling state affairs well. Moreover, Your Majesty also said that after he recovers, everything will be back on track.

After I go to the north, the palace will be handed over to the chief minister and the cabinet."

Gabriel did not expect that happiness would come so suddenly. Emperor Augustine handed over the affairs of the country to the queen, and now the queen has handed over the affairs of the country to the cabinet. Isn't it my decision to decide the empire?

Gabriel suppressed the urge to agree immediately and replied in panic: "Your Highness the Queen, I am afraid that the cabinet cannot handle such a heavy responsibility. I would like to ask Your Highness not to go to the north to take risks, and to choose a suitable general."

Queen Christina glanced at the stunned eldest prince Fania.

"For this responsibility, there are so many important imperial ministers in the cabinet who are definitely more qualified than me. Moreover, the rumors that arose during His Majesty's recuperation have already caused a lot of harm to me. I am very tired every day.

It’s better for me to go to the north!

There are so many generals in the north, leave the war to them. I will be in charge of the field hospital and do my best to take care of the wounded soldiers."

Queen Christian's attitude of going to the north has not wavered at all, which makes everyone here can't help but think... It seems that His Majesty has not passed away, and the rumors that the Queen has not announced her funeral have been disproven.

This made the eldest prince Fania look embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xin Kelai was left in the imperial capital.

The northern border is really too dangerous at this time, and if there is a huge change in the palace, there must be someone in the imperial capital who can quickly take over the army.

As for the queen going to the north...

Fania has no worries.

Queen Christina has no foundation in the court, let alone the army. She goes to the North just as a mascot, and she still relies on the generals of the Northern Army to fight the war.

Anyway, the situation in the north means that the royal family must send core members to boost morale. Sink cannot come and go, let alone Agatha, so the Queen is the perfect person.

So Queen Christina became the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, and went to the northern border to supervise the adoption of the war proposal against the Art County Union at the cabinet meeting.

Then Queen Christina said: "I propose that Meteorite join the imperial cabinet as a special cabinet minister, and that Meteorite set up a special mobilization office for northern supplies in Raging Waves City. Relying on Raging Waves City's economic and transportation hub status, we will open up a new space for the Northern War.

The second material transportation channel.”

This is to decentralize power from the cabinet and cut flesh from the Cross!

The cabinet is responsible for the collection and transportation of war supplies, so it is the cabinet who has the final say on who to place orders for supplies. As the scale of the war increases, the Cross Society will definitely be able to make a lot of money during the war.

The huge benefits contained in it allowed the cabinet to tightly grasp this power. Except for the royal industry, non-Crosswork factories basically could not get large orders for military supplies.

Although Luke can get a certain share through negotiations with Gabriel, the chief minister, the distribution power still lies in the hands of the cabinet.

Queen Christina's proposal this time is to directly attack the cabinet in terms of distribution power. First push Meteor into the cabinet, and then establish a special northern material mobilization office, or set it up in Raging Wave City. In this case, the cabinet has no control at all.

All are from meteorites.

A big gift bag was stuffed into his arms, and Luke felt very happy.

As for the cabinet... although the ministers are all in pain, compared with the comprehensive decentralization of state affairs, these minor injuries are nothing.

There is something to give and something to gain, this is a political transaction.

Chief Minister Gabriel happily accepted Meteorite's entry into the cabinet as a special cabinet minister, and promised to actively cooperate with the establishment of a special northern supplies dispatch office in Raging Wave City.

A cabinet meeting, chaired by Queen Christina, ended in a happy atmosphere. Everyone more or less got what they wanted, conflicts were appeased, and all parties in the empire were fully engaged in preparations for the war in the north.

middle.

After the meeting ended, Luke discovered that he was not the protagonist of this meeting. Queen Christina's political wisdom had begun to slowly affect the imperial court.

After the royal cabinet meeting adjourned, Luke and Agatha left the conference room together.

Walking in the corridor of the palace, Agatha, as the eldest princess, ordered the palace guards to leave.

The two people walked slowly. On the side of the corridor were arches with exquisite sculptures. The sunlight shone in from outside the arches and fell on the two people.

"Congratulations, Meteorite Special Cabinet Minister! Without checking your files, I can be very sure that you are the youngest cabinet minister in the history of the empire.

According to this promotion rate, you will soon be the youngest chief minister in the history of the empire. Gabriel must be under a lot of pressure now.

It can be seen that the queen admires you very much."

Luke heard that Agatha's tone was strange, and Queen Christina was indeed paying too much attention to him at the meeting.

"This is so normal... With my ability, anyone with some discernment will appreciate me.

I am now the chief minister of the Moonlight Royal Court, and when I become the chief minister of the empire in the future, I will be the chief minister of both countries."

Agatha was amused by Luke and laughed: "I'm looking forward to that day coming soon. What do you think of this royal cabinet meeting?"

The queen is going to the north and has delegated power to the cabinet, which is beyond everyone's expectations."

When it came to business, Luke couldn't help but stop.

"It is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, but we can also confirm that His Majesty is fine. When Your Majesty recovers, the powers delegated to the Cabinet can naturally be taken back. Perhaps His Majesty saw that the Cabinet has done a good job, so he gave the power to them.

I think during this period, the cabinet will definitely work with unprecedented efficiency, which will at least be beneficial to the current situation the empire is facing.

Regardless of whether Her Royal Highness the Queen is deliberately avoiding suspicion and not wanting to interfere in government affairs, or she has other purposes, today’s meeting was very successful!”

Agatha followed Luke and stood under the arch. When she heard Luke alluding to the queen, she asked in a low voice: "Do you think the queen has other purposes?"

Luke thought of Queen Christina in the game world again.

When the Empire Collapse plot begins, most players have the power to influence the direction of the plot. As players participate, the ending of Queen Christina will also be different.

There are those who claim to be emperors, and there are those who die violently...

But what is certain is that Christina is a person who enjoys power and is also very good at manipulating politics.

At this time, Christina probably did not have the desire to become emperor after taking power for a few days, but she definitely had the idea of ​​holding on to the power she now had.

For someone like her who has no foundation in the empire, she is just a puppet introduced by Emperor Augustine in the court, and the cabinet will not really take her seriously.

When Augustine recovers, or really dies, her current power will disappear immediately.

That's why she thought about recommending new people to the cabinet. When she saw an opportunity in the north, she immediately seized it regardless of the danger.

"Maybe it's because I'm used to playing conspiracies, and I always feel there's a conspiracy in everything I see." Luke didn't tell Agatha what he really thought, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he just pretended to be ignorant: "Rumors have hit the Queen very seriously.

It would be easy if His Majesty recovered, but what if...

While your majesty is recuperating, he is still thinking about the Kingdom of Lucien."

Agatha was successfully diverted by Luke, and at the same time she had a deeper understanding of the meaning of Emperor Augustine's letting the queen handle state affairs.

What we have to admit is... Emperor Augustine's health was really bad.

The outcome of this retreat was nothing but death and recovery.

If Emperor Augustine could recover, or just get better, taking back the queen's power would be a matter of words.

And if Emperor Augustus dies, the crimes on the queen can be added at will by the new emperor who succeeds. Once the crime of regicide is charged on the queen, the existence of the Lucien Kingdom will depend on the mood of the new emperor.

Even if they die, they will open up territory for the empire.

Agatha, who had figured this out, couldn't help but admire her father deeply. In his eyes, there was no family affection at all. He only wanted to achieve himself. He just wanted to be the greatest emperor of the empire... no one!

"I kind of sympathize with the queen... Marrying such a person is really the greatest misfortune in life. Even if she goes to the north, she might die on the battlefield, but at least she won't die in the hands of the person who should be her closest relative.

It can also protect her mother country.

I feel ashamed to have such a father!"

Agatha looked very depressed. The name Augustine was a burden to her.

Luke didn't expect that his casual extension of the topic would have such a great impact on Agatha. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but at this time a palace aide came over.

"Lord Meteorite, Her Royal Highness the Queen invites you to meet. She has some things related to the war in the north that she wants to talk to you about."

Agatha said to Luke: "You go to see the queen. I'm waiting for you here. I also want to be quiet."
