Hearing the voice next to his ear, Viscount Abt turned his head subconsciously, and found that it turned out to be a confidant of his subordinates who appeared by his side at some point.

After a soft snort, Viscount Abt responded coldly,

"What's confused?"

"I think he was stunned by that woman!"

"It's already at this time, and you are still helping that woman talk, what a bastard!"

"I don't even think about it, that woman is so arrogant that even the crown prince of the empire doesn't like it, how can she like him?"

At this moment, in the face of Viscount Abt's reprimand, the retainer on the side couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth. He originally wanted to say something nice for Castro, but Viscount Abt's words with such a huge amount of information made him completely speechless. There is room for persuasion.

On the other side, Viscount Abt, who seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his statement, coughed twice, then quickly changed the subject,

"Blake, how are things going now?"

Hearing Viscount Abbott's inquiry, the retainer named Black immediately gave up the entanglement, and responded very simply,

"Your Excellency, the preparations are almost done. Now the riders in charge of sending messages have already set off, and the order to interrupt the business road has also been conveyed. We will be able to complete the initial preparations in a week at the latest."

After listening to Black's report, Viscount Abt narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then emphasized in a solemn tone,

"Blake, you must keep an eye on this matter."

"That woman is very cunning. She will probably learn about my actions soon and will definitely try to interfere with our actions."

"One month!"

Speaking of this, Viscount Abt stared firmly into the eyes of his retainers, and ordered in an unquestionable tone,

"No matter what method you use, within a month at the latest, before the summer season comes, I want to see my army complete the assembly under my castle!"

"But..." Facing Viscount Abt's order, Black's expression flashed with hesitation,

"Your Excellency, it is the season of spring plowing, and all the subordinate territories are very busy. I am afraid that the lords will not be willing to send troops at this time. It will take at least three months to complete the army assembly. The various subordinate territories caused great turmoil."

"Look, don't you..."

"No, it must be a month!" Listening to Black's words, Viscount Abbott was expressionless. Having received military education, he certainly knew the process of summoning the army. The three months that the retainers said was actually when everything went well. The shortest build-up time that can be achieved.

You must know that the national organization ability in the feudal era was very backward, especially the Kingdom of Florida was still a country that implemented the feudal system.If a noble lord like Viscount Abt wants to call up an army, he must first issue a call-up order to the lower-level nobles under his rule, and then the lower-level nobles pass the order down to the lowest-level knights.

The process in the middle is very cumbersome, and naturally takes a long time. The speed of the army's assembly depends largely on the support of the lower nobles for the upper nobles.

And now it is the spring plowing season, which is the busiest time for each territory, and absolutely no noble is willing to fight at this time.

It is entirely conceivable that if the call-up order is forcibly promoted, it will inevitably cause resistance from the lower-ranking nobles. Not only will the army not be able to gather, but it may also cause the lower-ranking nobles to be alienated, which is completely worth the candle.

It's not that Viscount Abt doesn't understand this truth, but now he has a reason to act like this.

And the most important reason is that the main force that is about to launch a crusade against Chris will complete the assembly in a month at the latest. After the assembly is completed, the opponent will immediately launch a thunderous blow against Chris, and it is impossible for Chris can hold back.

If Viscount Abt could not do something to prove his worth before that, then it would be very difficult for him to get a share of the pie after Chris Port was crusaded.

So in any case, Viscount Abt also needs to have his army assembled within a month.

"How about it..." Finally, after careful consideration of the actual situation, it was determined that it would be extremely difficult to complete the army assembly within a month. Looking at the bitter-faced retainers, Ai Viscount Bute slowed down and said,

"Blake, go and get someone to spread the word about this crusade to the lords."

"I don't need to say anything else, as long as they know who are the forces involved in this crusade against Chris, I believe they will definitely be active."

"This... I'm afraid it's not very good~" Regarding Viscount Abbott's explanation, Black first looked relieved, and then said with a frown,

"Your Excellency, it is impossible for those lords to keep secrets for us. If we told them this information in advance, then the eldest daughter will definitely know."

"In this way, there is no surprise in our actions."

"So what!" Facing Black's worry, Viscount Abt sneered first, then waved his hand domineeringly,

"One month later, what that woman will face is an attack from the whole world, there is no need to consider the suddenness!"

"Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if we let her know. Is it possible that she can still challenge the whole world by herself with a mere Chris Port?"

"Hehe, the ending is already doomed. Unless she is the illegitimate daughter of a god, she will definitely lose this time!"

Chapter 114 111. Reaching a Consensus

The next day, when Viscount Abbott was still preparing for his great rebellion, all his recent small actions, even the conversations he had with his retainers, had all been turned into paper documents and appeared on the In the meeting room of Chris Port [company] headquarters.

After learning of Viscount Abt's rebellious plot, there was an uproar within the Chris interest group. However, for the rebellion of Viscount Abt, the senior executives of the Chris Group generally did not care much about it, and everyone paid more attention to it. Yes, there's something hidden behind this thing..........

"Everyone..."

At this moment, after glancing at the silent people in the conference room, Katerina casually threw a document on the conference table, and then asked calmly,

"Everyone is clear about the current situation. Do you have anything to say?"

Hearing Katerina's speech, the meeting room was very quiet, no one spoke, people just looked at each other carefully, and finally focused their eyes on the girl who was in the first place in the room.

On the other side, after waiting for a long time without hearing anyone speak, Katerina's gaze sank slightly, and then, she exhaled lightly, and immediately assumed a natural attitude, calmly speaking. open the mouth,

"Since no one has any comments, let's start the process directly......"

"The Abt family conspired to rebel, united with foreign enemies, and tried to commit crimes below and seek injustice. It is really a heinous crime!"

"As the deputy in charge of Chrisport, I, Katerina Aldan, in order to defend the justice of the law and the principles of tradition, hereby formally declare that Viscount Abbott is a shameful traitor, and the traitor must will be punished!"

"I announce!"

"From now on, Chris Port has entered a state of war!"

At this moment, seeing Katerina's decisive attitude, everyone in the conference room who had been silent just now finally reacted. Some people looked around in fear, some bowed their heads solemnly, and some opened their mouths slightly. , making a hesitant look.

Finally, the silence was broken, and the person who spoke was a middle-aged nobleman with a slightly handsome appearance. At this moment, he looked at Katerina nervously, as if hesitating for something,

"Your Majesty, I don't intend to offend, but regarding the crusade against the Abt family... I think we should take it easy~~"

At this moment, after hearing the man's rebuttal, Katerina didn't get angry, but just glanced at him indifferently, and then asked calmly,

"Sir Taylor, can you tell me why you have such an idea?"

"This..." Facing Katerina's rhetorical question, the man called Taylor hesitated for a moment, and finally responded with gritted teeth,

"Your Majesty the Grand Duchess, although Viscount Abt has been acting 'abnormally' recently, I don't think he did it on purpose. Maybe, maybe it's because he has some unspeakable secrets...... ..”

Speaking of this, Taylor couldn't speak any more, his mouth opened and closed like a fish being thrown ashore, under the gaze of the girl's "calm" eyes, he couldn't utter a word, as if He is the same as the one who has something to hide.

After a while, Katerina chuckled suddenly without knowing why, and then, the girl took the initiative to help Sir Taylor, and said clearly what he dared not say in front of everyone,

"Sir Taylor, I guess you're actually trying to tell me that the Abbott family rebelled because someone behind him was instigating him to act like this, and..."

As she spoke, Katerina paused suddenly, and after looking around at everyone in the meeting room, the girl's eyes fell on Sir Taylor again, who looked frightened.

"And the conspirators who instigated the Abt family's rebellion happened to be our King... right~?"

The moment the voice fell, the meeting room quickly became dead silent. Everyone lowered their heads almost at the same time. After taking everyone's reactions into view, Katerina first squinted her eyes, and then she raised her head with a half-smile looked at the crowd and said,

"I said...all of you, is that the tuberculosis ghost that scares you so much~?"

Speak out!Really speak up!

At this moment, when they heard a word in Katerina's words, everyone present lowered their heads subconsciously. Although everyone knew that the relationship between the girl and His Majesty was very bad, people still did not expect that the girl would Dare to say this insulting name directly in public.

You know, according to the rules of the nobility, as long as the face has not been completely torn apart, even if you want to let the other party die immediately, you must still give respect in public places, and the behavior of the girl at this time is tantamount to completely tearing up with the royal family. shameless.

However, after a brief shock, everyone quickly calmed down. After all, judging from Katerina's consistent performance, the girl's current behavior is quite normal, and there is nothing surprising about it.

On the other side, looking at the people who had calmed down, Katerina clapped her hands lightly. After waiting for everyone to raise their heads and refocus their eyes on herself, she raised a document with a calm expression. open the mouth,

"Everyone, I know that everyone is full of fear at the moment. After all, according to the information we know now, it seems that the troubles encountered by Chris Port this time are not small."

"Not only the Burros Kingdom is gathering fleets to attack us, but even the empire is ready to take advantage of it."

"In addition, our His Majesty the king, who is not only physically sick, but also mentally sick, seems to be planning to give up the face of the royal family now, and even joined forces with foreign enemies to plot Chris Port."

"Oh, it's really ridiculous!"

At this point, Katerina, whose tone became a little hasty due to anger, breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, she looked at everyone calmly, and continued sincerely,

"Everyone, regarding the current situation in Port Chris, I admit that I have an unshirkable responsibility. I really did not expect that the empire would join hands with its deadly rival, the Kingdom of Burros, so that it did not take precautions in advance. I willing to take responsibility for it.”

"However, the matter has come to this point, and it is meaningless to pursue responsibility now. The more important thing now is how to deal with this crisis."

"I know that everyone will be panicked by the current situation at this time, and feel that Chris Port is doomed this time, but what I want to tell you is......"

"The situation may not be as bad as you imagine~~"

After saying that, she glanced at the crowd who suddenly cheered up and stared at her. Katerina smiled leisurely, and then ordered her servants to bring a huge map of the world. After the map was moved to her side, the girl picked up a slender With a long wooden stick, pointing at the map with the wooden stick, he spoke confidently and calmly,

"Look, everyone, here are the spheres of influence of the Empire and the Burros Kingdom, as well as all possible routes to attack Chris Port."

"The empire is the overlord of the mainland, with a force of soldiers that is unparalleled in the world, while the Kingdom of Burros is the master of the ocean, with a huge fleet of over a thousand under its command, it is invincible."

"Theoretically, it is impossible for any country on the mainland to be able to resist being attacked by such two forces. However, if the target is our Chris Port, the situation will be different."

"First of all, from the point of view of the morale of the people, we in Chrisport have no hatred at all with the Empire or the Kingdom of Burros. Their attack on us lacks justice. It is a war of injustice and is destined to be unpopular. .”

"Under such circumstances, it is bound to be difficult for their soldiers to fight us to the end. On the other hand, because our side is a just war to defend our homeland, even if it is for the family behind us, our soldiers will definitely fight with all their strength. As long as we stick to our beliefs and don't run away, even if the Empire and the Burros Kingdom join forces, it will not be easy to take down Chris."

"Secondly, there is a serious crisis of trust between the Empire and the Burros Kingdom. Although I don't know how they completed this alliance, the covenant between the two is destined to be extremely fragile, and no one dares to really trust the other."

"In this way, the joint operations of the two will inevitably lead to geographical difficulties."

"Let's talk about the Kingdom of Burros first. Guidiwei Island, the largest warship port of the Imperial Navy, is across the ocean from their homeland, Gorodo Island. Even for the safety of their homeland, the Kingdom of Burros would never dare to go all out. , can call out half of the navy is the limit."

"On our side, two steel warships are about to launch, plus [Princess Hill], the three steel warships cooperate with the more than [-] three-masted warships in the Second Fleet, even if it cannot be committed in the future. The Burros kingdom's navy is blocking the sea, and it is enough to consume their vital forces on a large scale before they land, so that the threat of the Burros kingdom is greatly reduced."

"Let's talk about the empire. We, Chrisport, are located in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Florida. If the imperial army wants to attack us, they must first pass through the Arissa Mountains, where the elite forces of the entire kingdom are concentrated, supplemented by the power of the sky. , even if the empire is preparing to launch an all-out war, it is not an easy task to take down the Arissa Mountains."

"However, considering that our Majesty is an idiot, we need to be on guard against what he may do to lure wolves into the house. After the meeting is over, I will send a letter to my old friends to explain to them the stakes of this matter."

"I believe that with their wisdom, the imperial army will never be allowed to cross the Arissa Mountains at will, and our pressure will be greatly reduced by then."

"The last is our own internal problems. Thanks to our idiot His Majesty, now Chris is not only coveted by foreign enemies, but also by his own people."

"Fortunately, the 'insiders' who covet Chris are not only stupid but also weak, and it is not difficult to clean them up. We only need to send an elite team, and I believe the problem will be solved soon... …”

Speaking of this, Katerina suddenly put away the wooden stick in her hand, and then looked at the high-level people in front of her very seriously. After taking a deep breath, the girl spoke with great sincerity,

"Everyone, I know that some of you may have already contacted certain forces, and the other party must have offered very good conditions, but I hope everyone understands that we are already a whole now!"
