An important knowledge Ryan learned from Malcador is that for a big country (the emphasis here is on sufficient size), no policy is so-called "completely reasonable", "completely healthy" and "long-term stability". For a big country, a policy can only consider short-term pros and cons and long-term pros and cons. Makado’s knowledge tells Ryan that after considering the immediate interests, long-term interests, and the urgent problems that need to be solved, as long as the pros and cons are Any policy that does more harm than good can be tried.

It doesn’t matter how many lower levels of the bureaucracy or civilians live or die, or how many sacrifices civilians need to make. As long as it is considered beneficial to the country as a whole, it can be implemented.

This is Malcador thinking.

To a certain extent, Malcador is worthy of being the culmination of the human empire's bureaucracy over the past tens of thousands of years. In the eyes of this imperial prime minister, the founder of the human empire system, and the emperor's most loyal servant, maintaining the political situation is The purpose of the existence of the human empire is the stable operation of the bureaucracy, controlling everything, mastering everything, using systems and personnel arrangements to maintain balance, and allowing everyone to ultimately surrender their loyalty to the supreme emperor.

“If the system and the founder of the system exist at the same time, then people who are ready to rebel will try to resist the founder and destroy the system. But if the founder is no longer there or is unknown, people will be happy to obey, and use and rely on the system to interact with each other. Fight and become advocates and enforcers of the system.”

"This is the system. At first you resist it, you abuse it, you hate it. Slowly, you get used to it and rely on it. In the end, you find that you can no longer leave it."

——Prime Minister of the Human Empire, Grand Lord of the Council of Supreme Lords of Terra, Hero of the Emperor's Personal Judgment, the most loyal servant, friend and confidant of the Lord of Mankind, and Mark Bearer - Malcador.

This is why the Primarchs and the Prime Minister are destined to be on opposite sides, just like the enfeoffment system, the mandate system and the centralization system are destined to be in opposition. This is an irreconcilable contradiction. No matter who the Primarchs are, they are destined not to and will not Willing to become a cog or bearing in the bureaucracy, but in Malcador's view, the Primarchs have not learned to obey, and the Prime Minister even uses a large number of spies and psychic detection to spy on the Primarchs' inner thoughts and secrets, while constantly Involved in the "emotional exchange" between the Primarchs and the Emperor, most of the Primarchs hated the Markbearers, and a few, such as Guilliman or Vulkan, who had better tempers, also disliked them.

But the facts ultimately proved whose method was more effective. 10,000 years after the Emperor entered the Golden Throne, two crucial legacies left by Malcador were still in play, including the Inquisition, including the Gray Knights and its original body, Lion. -Makado.

The power of the Seal Bearer echoed in Ryan's mind, and the original Gray Knight was thinking about how to deal with this matter.

In the short term, the disadvantages of receiving this Kislev army outweigh the benefits, including but not limited to diplomatic troubles, the supply of military supplies and station arrangements, differences in beliefs, and whether this group of Kislev ladies are willing Questions of allegiance.

But in the long run, there is no need to say what the benefits are. Everyone understands that they are countless industrial talents and the last and most effective army in this ice and snow kingdom!

"Tsarina, does she still have the nerve? If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be here now!" Morgiana took the envelope and read it again, her good mood disappeared instantly, and she screamed: "In order to save Erengla We lost more than 3,000 people to Germany’s army, and Kalad was also seriously injured. We paid for all the military expenses ourselves, so she has the nerve to ask us for help now?”

"Haha." Ryan smiled and said nothing. He stretched out his hand and stroked the golden eyebrows of the Lake God Witch, and just looked at her like this.

The originally twisted eyebrows gradually calmed down. Morgiana felt a little embarrassed by Ryan's gaze, and even felt that her body began to become strange. The Lake God Witch looked forward to it and was unhappy at the same time, and said sourly: " What? Do you still think Katalin’s request is reasonable?”

"There is no reason." In the hall, Ryan and Morgiana were not too close. The Knight King quickly retracted his hand. He just sighed: "But she has legal principles. This It is really not easy to handle this matter. If it is not handled well, it will easily cause disputes and affect our image of Britannia in the old world."

Morgiana nodded. This is true. No matter what, Katalin still retains her identity as the female tsar, and this identity is also recognized by Britannia. The Erengrad Shilavik Group declared independence. It was an expression of autonomy and self-action, but it did not publicly declare its separation from Kislev, and conditions did not allow it at the time.

"So I feel disgusting, very disgusting. Our Majesty Katalin obviously doesn't want to lose face." Ryan held this letter that was both a request and a question. The face of the King of Knights was filled with disgust. Expression: "This is in line with her situation. She has no ability to change the status quo and can only rely on external forces."

"Then what should we do? Don't know? Or refuse?" Morgiana simply pulled Ryan and left the banquet hall. The sound of the Lake God Witch's high heels and the sound of Ryan's boots resounded on the floor of the not-so-luxurious Earl's castle. After thinking about it for a while, he rejected these two methods in distress: "It's definitely not possible to say that we don't know. The old world already knows that we are lying if we say that we don't know. It's not good to refuse. Now the empire and the Brittanians are both In an all-out fight against Chaos, refusing is both disregardful and absurd. Who are we to prevent Mrs. Keesler from going back to save their country?"

"Hahahahahaha! Yes, that's true." Ryan laughed. The King of Knights picked up the letter and said in a cold tone: "So it's really disgusting. This is a conspiracy. Indeed, I don't even have a face. , this matter has really become difficult.”

"What should we do now?" Morgiana was worried, and the Lake God Witch was a little worried about this.

Ryan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Morgiana, as a strong man in the sanctuary who has received hundreds of years of inheritance from the Witch of the Lake God, has countless experiences to learn from in dealing with politics, court and various religious affairs. She would not have Such worries, however, once something related to Ryan, Morgiana could not remain calm. It can only be said that women in love will become blind, and Talleyrand saw through this and caught him. Compliments, and successfully left a good impression on Morgiana.

"What should I do? Write back and tell Katalin that she has contacted the wrong person about this matter. I am currently busy fighting Chaos. I have no time and no responsibility for the withdrawal of Kislev's army to Britannia. Let her go to Sulia." Ryan smiled: "As for Sulia, there is Olika, she is the best at this, and there is Beria who understands Kislev's situation."

"That dark elf is really good at this." Morgiana seemed to remember something. She looked around and said, "Well, it's getting late. Let's go back to the room first?"

"Go back to the room? Go back to the room so early?" Ryan's face changed slightly, and the King of Knights quickly changed the topic: "It's too early, Morgiana, let's take a walk around?"

"Walking around, there are people everywhere. You can't find a deserted place in the whole town." Morgiana looked unhappy. She thought about it and said shyly in Ryan's ear: "After thinking about it, I don't think so. It’s the quietest when you go back to your room. Ryan, what kind of skirt and stockings do you like? I’ll show you what kind of skirt and stockings you like, okay?”

Then the room will be filled with your uvula, where will it be quiet? Ryan thought this way, and the King of Knights shook his head and said it was too early. Morgiana was a little dissatisfied when she saw this, so she had to follow Ryan back to the banquet hall.

"My dear, where have you been?" Veronica came over with a wine glass, and behind her were a group of gorgeously dressed witches of Gloria: "I've been looking for you everywhere."

"What do you want from me, my dear?" Ryan picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Veronica.

"I'm looking for you... to go back to the room!" Veronica's sweet face said with malicious intent: "You have won such a big victory, do you want to show something? Let's go back to the room, dear Yes, I can’t wait.”

Ryan: "…………"

"Ryan, you are here." At this moment, Teresa also came. Seeing that Veronica and Morgiana were there, the sorceress immediately came over. She tied her waist-deep black hair Tucked up high, the black full-frame butterfly pattern glasses exuded the brilliance of magic: "It's too noisy here. I'm a little annoyed. Why don't we find a quiet place to play cards or do something else together?"

Ryan: "???"

The King of Knights realized that the situation was not good and immediately planned to run away, but Morgiana had already reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "I'm glad we have reached an agreement. Now it's time to take action."

The Witch of the Lake God, the Chancellor of Gloria, and the Sorceress completed synchronization in an instant!

Lure the little pig in first and then kill it!

Just like that, the King of Knights was half pushed and half pulled away from the banquet.

Everyone at the banquet basically noticed the departure of Ryan and Morgiana, but most people attributed it to the letter the king received. They probably had something to deal with, so they didn't pay too much attention.

The kingdom's regent, Lao En, arrived a little late. He had something to eat and drank a few glasses of wine to celebrate together.

"Sir Baldwin?" The regent of the kingdom felt the glory of the battle of the three kings. He regretted that he did not stay on the frontal battlefield where he annihilated such a large number of people. He saw a knight of the kingdom surrounded by a large group of knights errant, eating and drinking together, and took the initiative Walked over: "Why is it you again?"

"Your Highness Raun!" All the knights saluted, and Baldwin from Le-Angoulan hurriedly greeted Raun: "Madam, it's great to see you back without incident!"

"Madam, Baldwin, what are your results in this battle?" The regent of the kingdom laughed heartily. He and Baldwin had a drink. When they saw two people wanting to talk, everyone dispersed in awe.

"There is no result, I didn't even kill a single goblin." Baldwin is a rather weak-looking man with some traditional aristocratic aura, but his face is obviously weathered, a legendary kingdom knight, which makes him His temperament is different. Just looking at his temperament, he is no different from many young nobles who eat, drink and have fun all day long. But judging from the wrinkles and scars on his face, everyone knows that he is a battlefield veteran.

Lawn knew that Baldwin was born in the Principality of Le-Angoulant and was a descendant of the Earl of Clement family. Previously, the Knight King Ryan announced that there would be no more knights for the kingdom within four generations. The title was in crisis! So Baldwin enlisted as a knight on the Araby expedition. Many people thought that a dandy like Baldwin would not survive more than three months in Arabi.

In fact, it is true that most of the knights errant who went to the Arabi expedition did not survive more than three months, but Sir Baldwin was an exception. No matter how much he usually ate, drank and had fun, his martial arts and riding skills did not fall behind. After arriving in the Arabi Desert, Baldwin participated in the Battle of Mengisa and the Battle of Spring Valley. He won a great victory in the battle, made military exploits, and miraculously survived. In the end, he received an "excellent" evaluation in the comprehensive evaluation. He returned home smoothly and was awarded the Knight of the Kingdom by Lawn. title.

Raun roughly knew something about Baldwin, and the regent of the kingdom became interested: "Then why do they admire you so much? You are not a flag captain or a general."

"Ha." Baldwin smiled helplessly and pointed at the young knights errant: "I just have a lot of battlefield knowledge and life-saving knowledge to teach these people. Although they have received many professional military skills, they have never been on the battlefield. Rookies on the battlefield.”

"Rookie? Well, it's very vivid. No matter who you are, you start as a rookie, and I am no exception." Lawn laughed.

"Yes, for rookies, it's not about how many enemies you have to kill at the beginning, but how to ensure that you survive. It's not about losing your life right away. For example, if I guide them, when the Goblin Bow Guy shoots arrows at you, , charging forward is not reckless, contacting the enemy as quickly as possible is the safest." Baldwin also sneered: "This is not bravery, this is wisdom. We are not those Ugor people, the knights just have to charge. , but safer.”

"Oh? I never thought that Fearless Charge could be explained in this way. Who taught you that?" Lawn picked up a juicy steak with a fork, and the Kingdom Regent asked with great interest.

"It was taught by the knight instructor in the Orig Knights." Baldwin gnawed on a big cucumber: "Fighting in the Arabi Desert, we have many enemies, including undead, greenskins, Skaven, and pirates. , we have very few friends, only the Imperials and a small dwarf exploration team, and the rest are only sand and camels. Survival is much more important than killing more enemies. The leader said, the important thing is to experience and feel first. , survive.”

"Your boss is really a talent." Lawn thought for a moment and said slowly: "Where is he now?"

"Still in Arabi."

"Still in Alabi? How long has he been serving?"

"It's been a long time. He just doesn't want to go home. It's boring. I was homesick and crazy and didn't understand it at all. It wasn't until I came home that I looked at my father who was immersed in the glorious past of the family and didn't want to wake up. A few brothers and mothers who have nothing to do all day are boring, really boring." Baldwin said helplessly: "As a glorious knight of a lady, your life should not be wasted like that."

"So you're here again this time?" Lawn was amused.

"Yes, I'm here again." Baldwin said with a smile: "In the Great Expedition of the Knights, we won until we were weak. Under the leadership of His Majesty Ryan, we kept winning and felt happy. It was not much more interesting than at home. Wealth, glory, and even It’s the Holy Grail, and I’m ready.”

"Come on, Baldwin, you will win the glory that belongs to you." Lawn shook hands with Baldwin, said hello and walked away: "The back wave of the kingdom!"

The regent of the kingdom was filled with emotions, and he felt that the King of Knights was even more incomprehensible.

Lawn knew very well that knight nobles like Baldwin were typical old nobles and territorial nobles. Logically speaking, they should be the most disgusted with Knight King Lane's style and counter-reform. These people hated Lane's "incompetence is The policies of "if you can't provide knights, confiscate the title and fief" and "if the nobles can't do it, I'll let the mud-legged people take over" have made him an enemy of Ryan more than once.

Why can't my family's hundreds of years of accumulation be compared to the ten years of bloody struggle of the Mudlegs?

Whether it is Lawn or Berhemond, they are typical representatives of the old nobles. But what disappoints most of the old nobles is that whether it is Lawn, Hagen, and Berhemond, they are all Knights of the Holy Grail. , for the Holy Grail Knights, the above three conditions are not true for them, and it will not harm their interests. On the contrary, following Ryan, they have tasted enough sweetness and reaped enough benefits, and for many reforms that harm their interests, they have also Being able to get rewards in the long run and elsewhere, it was naturally difficult to make up his mind to resist. In the end, due to Francois's ideological work, he completely fell to Ryan's side.

Therefore, these middle-level old nobles feel miserable. They can't reach the sky or the earth, and they are beaten to death by Ryan.

However, the appearance of people like Baldwin made Lawn realize that even the old aristocrats have begun to undergo huge changes. New blood among the old aristocrats is rising rapidly, and they have become Lane's supporters, because many The insightful people among the old aristocrats also realized that if they did not change, they would be eliminated with the tide of the times, and as long as they followed Ryan, they would also have the opportunity to gain countless wealth and glory.

What about the new aristocracy? Lawn turned his attention to the other group.

That was the King's Old Guard. Coach Bertrand was drinking and eating meat with Davout, Raymond, and Raymond's brother, the engineer Thomas. They were the new aristocracy, representatives of the Mudlegs. Now Each one has great military exploits and honors, and the civilians respect the Old Guard even more than ordinary knights.

This is identity. Compared to the knight master, the serfs certainly regard the old guard as one of their own.

Of course, the old nobles hate the Old Guards, because in their view, these Old Guards are a new group that comes to seize their interests, and they are the knife in Ryan's hand.

But from another perspective, the Old Guards are all native Brittanians. At the national level and the national level, the Old Guards and the old nobles are on the same side. They are brothers and sisters. Compatriots and allies, it is impossible for the old nobles to completely break hostility with this new group of nobles, not to mention that the Fairy of the Lake has recognized the status of the old guards second only to the Holy Grail Knights.

Is this His Majesty’s power tactics? No one can completely oppose him? Unknowingly, he has completely taken control of the entire kingdom?

After thinking for a long time, Lawn took a step forward for the first time and took the initiative to say hello to Bertrand and others.

"Congratulations, Baron Nottingham, our Lord Bertrand!"

The representatives of the old nobles and the new nobles had their first equal conversation at the banquet after the Three Kings' War.
