After Transmigrating to Become the Daughter of a Duke, I Just Want to Pursue a Career

"But obviously, it is difficult for me to accomplish these two things, so I plan to use the strength of everyone present, and hope that you can do your best to help me achieve my goal."

"Okay, that's all I want to say. Now it's your turn. Do you have any opinions on this?"

After the voice fell, the meeting room was silent. Everyone looked at each other with various emotions in their eyes, but no one spoke. Until a long time later, a slightly embarrassing voice sounded in the meeting room,

"Dear Miss Catalina, I am Peter Rocadan, I am moved by your lofty will, I really want to follow you to achieve a great cause, but I am just a little baron, and I am really powerless to help you .”

"I'm very sorry, maybe this place is not suitable for me, if possible, please allow me to leave."

At this moment, after listening to the speech of the self-proclaimed Baron Peter Rocadan in front of her, Katerina blinked her eyes. She didn't seem to be angry because of this, but turned her head to the other people in the meeting room,

"Thank you Baron Rocadan for his speech, is there anyone who thinks the same as Baron Rocadan?"

Hearing the girl's question, it was as if an invisible invisible button was touched, and the originally silent conference room suddenly became chaotic. Most of the nobles present, like Baron Locadan, began to ask The girl complained, saying that she was really unable to provide support for the girl, and immediately expressed her desire to leave.

In response to this, Katerina's eyes flickered in response to the various gazes of the crowd, and then she smiled lightly, and at the next moment, she suddenly picked up the glass placed on the conference table, and then slammed it hard on the glass. on the ground!

"Crash~"

The crisp sound of glass breaking was like the painful groan of the ground, instantly quieting the noisy meeting room.

Immediately afterwards, just when everyone thought that Katerina was just having a temper tantrum, the door of the meeting room was suddenly slammed open. The next moment, dozens of soldiers in full armor, with a strong vicious aura, It poured in from outside the gate like a tide.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the conference room became more dignified than ever. Although these soldiers did not draw out their sharp blades after entering the conference room, they just stood quietly behind them. With a smile on his face, it seemed that he had no intention of using force at all, but this situation, which had never happened before in the history of nobles, still made most of the nobles present feel extremely uneasy.

"Everyone, I have already made it clear from the very beginning......"

Just when everyone was at a loss, Katerina's voice sounded faintly again,

"I'm a very direct person. I don't care much about the rules and tacit understanding of the nobles. All I care about is victory and defeat, and I don't want to lose, so..."

"Everyone, can you summarize the language~?"

At this moment, the girl's cold and bright voice echoed faintly in the meeting room. The voice followed people's ears and poured directly into the depths of their hearts. It was like the whisper of a succubus, which made people shudder while fantasizing.

At this moment, no matter whether they were afraid of Katerina's threat or not, no one dared to speak back, and the conference room fell into a long silence again, until after a long time, an old voice suddenly sounded,

"Ahem, Miss Katerina, can I hear the old man's opinion......"

After the voice sounded, everyone looked at the source of the voice. Immediately, the people in the conference room had two reactions. The first reaction came from the nobles who were threatened by Katerina. Afterwards, their restless emotions quickly stabilized, and then they looked at Katerina with speculative eyes.

Another kind of reaction belongs to the people who stand in the Katerina camp. These people generally look worried and seem to be in a lot of trouble.

Seeing the changes in the meeting room at this moment, Katerina's expression remained unchanged. After taking a look at everyone, she calmly looked at the person who spoke, an old man who seemed to be over 60 years old.

Because of the preparations in advance, even though she had never met this old man before, Katerina still recognized his identity from the general image——Viscount Connaught Wayne, a nobleman of the Aaron family Another viscount-level nobleman of the group.

Unlike the Viscount Abt who was not present, this Viscount Wayne did not show a strong self-motivation after the decline of the Aaron family, but he did not help the Aaron family either. Katerina saw him Before, it has been classified as a swinger with an undecided camp.

But now, looking at the old man in front of her, Katerina's intuition clearly told her that the viscount did not seem to be as she imagined, his words were full of strong purpose of the chief officer, and it seemed that all the nobles on the field He has a great influence in his heart, and he is obviously not the kind of swinger who has no opinion!

Faced with this sudden change, after thinking carefully for a moment, Katerina waved at the soldiers who had just entered the conference room, signaling them to leave the conference room, and then she suddenly responded with a very polite attitude. , responded softly,

"Viscount Wayne, please don't be restrained~."

"You are the longest ooh among all the people sitting here. You have insight and vision far beyond ordinary people. It is my honor that you are willing to give your opinion. I have no reason to refuse to listen~"

"Hahaha~" Hearing the girl's suddenly polite response, the gray-haired Viscount Wayne laughed a few times, and then said with a kind smile,

"Miss Katerina is really good at talking. I'm just an old man who is about to go into the grave. I don't have any knowledge. It's just some trivial suggestions."

At this point, Viscount Wayne slightly restrained his smile, then he stared at Katerina, and continued to speak in a calm tone,

"Miss Katerina, in fact, you don't have to be like this at all. We didn't say we don't want to help you. After all, the two purposes you mentioned are also beneficial to us in terms of results, but... ..."

"In the face of your great ambitions, our strength is too weak, and it is really difficult to provide you with strong support. Even if we are forced to join together, we will eventually fall apart and even turn against each other."

"Such a result, you probably wouldn't want to see it, would you?"

After the words fell, seeing the girl in front of her frowning tightly, Viscount Wayne quickly said again,

"How about this, Miss Katerina, please answer a few questions for me first, if you can answer them well, let's talk about cooperation."

At this moment, hearing Viscount Wayne's sudden change of words, Katerina narrowed her eyes slightly, then raised her hand to signal,

"No problem, Viscount Wayne, please ask."

"first question..........."

After receiving Katerina's signal, Viscount Wayne exhaled slightly, and then smiled kindly,

"Miss Katerina, do you know the true identities of the pirates who killed Marquis Aaron?"

At this moment, after listening to Viscount Wayne's first question, the girl immediately frowned. This questioning method made her clearly realize that the Viscount Wayne in front of her was a shrewd old fox. , although this person said that he was asking himself a question, but in fact he was playing the trick of turning his back on the customer, and his purpose was to reduce his own momentum.If the response is a little careless, then the psychological offensive that has been arranged so hard just now will become a child's unreasonable trouble, and the next strategy will be impossible to implement.

Facing Viscount Wayne's approach, Katerina closed her eyes briefly, and after a while, she heard her suddenly chuckle forcefully and said,

"Of course I know, the true identity of those pirates is the navy of the Kingdom of Burros. Otherwise, how could mere pirates defeat the Second Fleet of the Aaron family."

At this moment, it seemed that he did not expect Katerina to respond to him so straightforwardly. The corner of Viscount Wayne's mouth froze slightly, but soon, the old man quickly calmed down his emotions, and then continued to ask questions with a smile on his face. road,

"Hehe, Miss Katerina, it seems that you know a lot of information, so please listen to my second question, do you know the current situation of the Aaron family?"

"I know." Hearing Viscount Wayne's question again, Katerina's expression remained unchanged, she just tilted her head and smiled,

"Because of Marquis Aaron's mistake in decision-making before, the Aaron family is currently facing two-way suppression from the Pusid Empire and the Anti-Imperial Alliance at the same time. As long as there is a slight mishandling, the Aaron family and even Chrisport will completely slip into the abyss."

This time, after the girl finished answering the question, the smile on Viscount Wayne's face completely disappeared. The old man straightened his expression and stared deeply at the girl. It was not until a long time later that he said in a deep voice: ,

"Okay, one last question..."

"Miss Katerina, you are so confident that you can bring us people under your command, what is there to rely on?"

At this moment, it seems that Viscount Wayne finally got the point, and the smile on the girl's face became wider. Then, there was only a clear clap of applause, and a servant with a tray slowly walked from the inner layer of the conference room. get out.

And when the servant finally approached the long table in the meeting room, he looked at the luxurious envelope inlaid with dragon patterns and gold borders in the tray held in his hand. All the participants, including Viscount Wayne, looked at it. Straighten your eyes.

The reason for the current strange phenomenon is very simple. Everyone present is very clear that only one family in this world is qualified to use the style of that letter——the royal family of the Pusid Empire!

The next moment, without waiting for everyone to ask, the girl's indifferent voice sounded faintly in the meeting room,

"Actually, there's nothing to rely on. It's just that His Majesty the Emperor of the Pusid Empire gave me a promise not long ago..."

Before the words fell, the audience was in an uproar!

ps: Make up yesterday's chapter, there is another chapter today, finish the meeting today, start industrialization tomorrow, and prepare for war!

Chapter 71 68. Meetings and the beginning of the industrial age

At this moment, the girl's light words caused an uproar in the entire conference room. Many nobles looked at the girl with an understatement, and their eyes were slightly red. This is the appearance of envy and jealousy being suppressed to the extreme. Performance.

What does the promise of His Majesty the Emperor of the Pusid Empire mean?

To answer this question, one must first understand a concept, how powerful the Pusid Empire is.

The Pusid Empire is the most powerful country on the continent, not one of its kind.Because of its special geographical location, it was once encircled and suppressed by many neighboring countries. At the craziest time, it even had to go to war with seven countries at the same time, but in the end, the Pusid Empire stood firm, and many of the countries that attacked the empire It disappeared and became the nourishment for the growth of the empire.

Today's Pusid Empire is already an unprecedented colossus in human history. Not only does it have a strong army and a large treasury, but its territory even occupies half of the entire continent!

The emperor of such a superpower, how many people want to be dogs but can't get it, and one can imagine how much his promises are worth.

"Wait a minute, Miss Caterina!"

After the noise caused by the girl lasted for a while, someone finally recovered from the shock, and then, someone began to question the authenticity of what the girl said.

It is not surprising that this happens. After all, the news that Katerina revealed is too shocking, and it is natural to be suspected of its authenticity.

And the first person to ask was Viscount Wayne. He was the first person to come to his senses. Facing what the girl said, the old man's eyes obviously had a strong color of suspicion.

"If possible, can I let the old man take a look at that letter?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to question you, it's just that this matter is of great importance, I must be more cautious."

Faced with Viscount Wayne's doubts, the girl still had a smile on her face, and then she calmly nodded at the servant holding the letter, signaling him to hand over the letter to Viscount Wayne.

After a while, looking at Viscount Wayne, who had received the letter and examined it carefully, the girl lowered her head slightly, a gleam flashed in her eyes, she looked the same as before, but if someone looked under the round table, they would You will find that the girl's slender legs are shaking slightly, as if reflecting that her master's heart is not peaceful.

In fact, the current letter given by Katerina is genuine, and the sender is indeed the royal family of the Pusid Empire. Many other details are fine. The only problem is the content of the letter and the name of the recipient.

Although Katerina had already sent people to the Pusid Empire to contact relevant people when she left the Duke's Mansion, and Katerina was also confident that she could get the attention of the Pusid Empire, but in any case, it was impossible to get away so soon. reply received.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for this letter to be sent to Katerina by the royal family of the Pusid Empire. Just a greeting.

As for how Katerina got the letter, she had to thank her ally in the capital—Princess Hill.

After learning about the Duchess, Princess Hill resolutely decided to participate in this social change initiated by Katerina under the guise of a rescue operation in her own name. This letter is her sincerity.

Therefore, although Katerina was a little nervous about Viscount Wayne's inspection, she was not in a panic. After all, the letter was indeed true. It is impossible to find the problem at all.

As for whether the deception will be exposed in the future, Katerina is even less worried, because she is very sure that she will completely turn the lie into truth in a short period of time, and let the Pusid Empire take the initiative to help her cover it up.

At this moment, as the time passed by, the atmosphere in the meeting room became more and more anxious, but no one spoke. Viscount Wayne, who checked the authenticity of the letter, was waiting for his answer.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a long sigh resounded,

"The letter is real~"

The moment the voice fell, the conference room fell into an uproar again, and everyone began to whisper to each other, discussing something excitedly, and even forgot about Katerina, the master.

Regarding this, Katerina was not in a hurry, she just looked at the anxious nobles with a smile on her face, and silently waited for them to calm down.

Fortunately, this process did not last long. Viscount Wayne, who suddenly spoke again, quickly quieted down the noisy conference room.

"Miss Katerina, since you have such confidence, why didn't you speak up earlier?"

A moment later, with a slight accusation, Viscount Wayne expressed what was on the minds of everyone present, and regarding this, Katerina smiled calmly,

"I originally planned to speak out as soon as possible, but you didn't give me this chance, did you?"

Hearing the rebuttal of the girl in front of him, many people present quickly thought of their performance just now, and then they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when facing the girl's stare, which seemed to be a half-smile, so people were not good at this issue. Keep going.

However, Viscount Wayne was an exception. Facing Katerina's ridicule, he spoke again without changing his expression,

"Well, it's our fault, but I still have a problem......"

"The old man is very curious, how did you get His Majesty West's promise?"

At this point, he seemed to realize that his words were too much, so he hurriedly added,

"Don't get me wrong, this old man didn't want to pry into your secrets, it's just that it's hard to understand why His Majesty West made such a condition, and what price you paid for this promise."

"Only when we know this, can we continue to discuss cooperation. Otherwise, the old man is worried that our cooperation will be unfair to you."
