The Sun King's Evidence

"Appearance fee? Pension? Military expenditure?" After hearing Beria's plan, Sulia frowned slightly.

Beria presented his idea cautiously.

The Ugor people believe that the reason why the tsarina is eager to mobilize Rokossovsky's army to serve the emperor in the empire is because of three situations.

First, the situation of this Chaos invasion war is very bad, and Katalin urgently needs more troops to protect and help herself.

Second, she was very dissatisfied with Rokossovsky's group and planned to call them back and slowly deal with them.

Third, Katalin didn't want to transfer back Luo Shuai's army at all. She just wanted to use this excuse to bargain with Britannia.

According to Beria's judgment, all three situations should exist. As long as Kislev's credentials are issued, she will be invincible, or she can transfer Commander Luo's army back to the empire to command, or She could take the opportunity to get some benefits from the Knight Kingdom, such as material assistance and military assistance. No matter how bad it was, the Knight Kingdom would owe her a huge favor.

Beria's idea was to test first. Does Katalin want a sum of material and financial assistance, or is she determined to send this army back to King Qin?

If it is the former, then things will be easier. Beria thinks it is better to provide some assistance. Kislev is facing a national crisis, the mountains and rivers are broken, the homeland is destroyed, and there are countless refugees. Providing assistance at this time will not only gain a good reputation, but also give Kislev a good reputation. Mrs. Le will not collapse and become corrupted into a Chaos believer, or become a rogue and bandit to plunder everywhere.

If it's the latter, then Beria suggests the reverse.

Ask the Tsarina for money!

We in Britannia sent troops to Oerengrad. In order to rescue Kislev, we worked tirelessly and were not afraid of sacrifice. We crossed the ocean to support Kislev. For this, we paid huge casualties and lost hundreds of dollars. A war horse, including military expenses, food and salary, and death pensions, we don’t have to argue with you, the Czarina, as long as you pay 30%. Is it a good deal?

But what about the rest?

The person you rescued needs to be paid for, right? The precious materials rescued include many precious antiques, murals, sculptures, and books. Does this have to be calculated in terms of money?

Also, the military expenses for Kislev advanced by us include military pay and food, as well as the cost of transporting them to retreat to the old world. Does this have to be calculated? Besides, the resettlement expenses for Luo Shuai's army after they arrived in Kurona, the maintenance expenses for eating, drinking, and sleeping, and the expenses for replenishing equipment and soldiers must also be included in the Tsarina's account, right?

Finally, in order to help you, Lord Kalad was seriously injured. The champion among the armies faced off against the Norscan High King Vamir Aisling, and completely ended the opponent's centuries-old horror legend here. Now Lord Kalad is seriously injured. , we need to rest for several months. This is a huge loss for us. The appearance fees and medical expenses must not be lowered.

Beria did a little calculation. For example, Kalad's appearance fee was 20,000 gold crowns, Britannia's military expenses were 15,000 gold crowns, and the pension was 8,000 gold crowns. The price for rescuing a bear cavalry was 100 gold crowns, and the price for a hussar was 50 gold crowns. , Red Navy 40 gold crown, Ugor Cavalry 15 gold crown, ordinary levies 5 gold crown, civilians 1 gold crown, etc.

In the end, Beria's calculation was already six to seven figures.

"I don't think Katalin can afford so much money." Sulia thought to herself, this plan is too shameless, right?

"That's right, we can't get out, so we should negotiate terms." Beria immediately added: "It doesn't matter if you can't get out. We also understand that Kislev is facing an unprecedented predicament now. We are generous people. We can Let Mrs. Kiesler inherit their glorious tradition, which is to become a mercenary, earn maintenance fees and commissions for yourself, let Constantine's army serve for us, and one day's commission will be counted as a day's commission to offset our expenses. Let me calculate the cost. After almost fifty years, we can return this army to Her Majesty Katalin."

"Pfft~" The maids and attendants who were listening to Beria's story couldn't help but laugh. Even Sulia and Olica couldn't help but smile.

"It's really yours, Beria." The queen picked up the teacup with a perfect and elegant gesture. Sulia thought about it for a while and made a decision: "It's a pity that we can't adopt your plan."

"...This is just an immature idea of ​​mine, and I ask your Majesty to criticize it." Beria immediately shut up. He glanced at Sulia again anxiously, and felt relieved when he saw the queen's face with only a slight reproachful expression. After a while, he quickly apologized: "I didn't think carefully."

"You thought a little wrong, Beria." Sulia took a careful sip of Darjeeling black tea, then took out a scone and spread butter and jam with a knife: "If it was an empire, it would be okay to do this. , but we are Britannia, we are the glorious kingdom of knights. The spirit of chivalry and chivalry are the foundation of our country, and it is also the national image we have spent thousands of years building. Your plan seems too shameless. It will seriously damage our image."

"I didn't think well." Beria was stunned for a moment, and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake. He thought it was over. He had habitually entered Mrs. Keesler's thinking mode. Mrs. Keesler was shameless and shameless. This is a habit. In order to sell steppe horses, horse dealers in Kislev will even whiten the horses' rotten teeth with white paint, describe sick horses as "shy and not used to seeing people", and describe infertile stallions as " Lack of beauty mare nourishment”.

He is used to being shameless, and it is impossible to cultivate some chivalrous spirit in a short time. Beria has been following Ryan for several years, and he has not cultivated any chivalrous spirit yet.

Sulia calmed down, and then said: "Anyway, this trip to Kislev, thank you for your hard work, Beria, you are meritorious, Ryan and I both know this, and neither Ryan nor I You promised too many conditions, but you managed to convince Kalashnikov to move the Kirov factory to Britannia. It must have taken a lot of effort, right?"

"Your Majesty and Madam, naturally there are troubles and difficulties that Your Majesty and Madam have to solve. Compared with the problems you two have to deal with, my difficulties are really nothing. I can do my best for Britannia. It's an honor for me. I just have to do my best." Beria said very humbly: "How can I disturb His Majesty anymore and add trouble and trouble to His Majesty?"

"...Lian really did not choose the wrong person, Beria, you are capable." Sulia praised, but the queen raised a new question: "I know that you have always done your best for Ryan, but... You must have encountered a lot of troubles, right? For your own people? And for the suffering Mrs. Keesler, how did you do it? Make them obedient and go to Bree Tania is coming?”

Beria took a deep breath and thought for a long time: "First, be respectful, and second, be honest. If you handle things based on these two points, you will be able to gain everyone's understanding."

"This is the truth that humans have spent a long time realizing." Sulia's tone did not waver at all. The Queen of Knights' eyes gradually became sharper. Looking at Beria, she then asked: "But the truth is always confused. Trampling and forgetting, people always tend to use double standards to treat themselves and others, people always like to do their best to defend their environment! Don't fool me with these official words and clichés! Beria!"

Beads of sweat appeared on Beria's forehead. The Ugor man quickly got down from his seat and knelt down again, not daring to speak.

"Okay, get up and sit down." Sulia motioned to Beria to sit back. The Knight Queen thought about it for a moment before continuing: "That's not what I want to hear. Beria, tell me something real. , just as your mentor Felix of Steel admonished the Tsarina.”

"This...since His Majesty asked this, I have no choice but to say something impolite." Beria clenched his fists and took two deep breaths, knowing that Queen Sulia's school exam was coming!

Fight!

"Say it, I forgive you." Lidya Su nodded.

"The order system of the old world was the enfeoffment system. Whether the king or the emperor, they all enfeoffed part of their territory to vassals, or gave part of their power to ministers. We are like small families. Big family." Beria said sincerely: "All the troops and soldiers under my command are like the children of the family, and the king and queen are like the grandfather and grandmother of the family."

"And I, Beria, am the daughter-in-law in the middle. I do everything according to the duties of a daughter-in-law. The army and soldiers try to make arrangements as well as possible, and I try to obey the orders of the king and queen." Beria said slowly He said slowly: "Being caught between the two ends, you will inevitably encounter many problems and grievances. Regarding these, you can tolerate it if you can, and hide it if you can. If there is really no way to take care of both ends, then you would rather hurt and wrong your children. Don’t disobey your grandfather and grandmother’s orders!”

After speaking, Beria raised his head for the first time, his eyes clear and firm.

Lidya Su and Orika were both moved by it.

This is Beria, this is his thinking, this is the thinking circuit of an elite bureaucrat.

Yes, who is not a daughter-in-law who is caught in the middle and suffers?

Rokossovsky is, Beria is, Lawn is, not even Sulia and Ryan?

Even His Excellency Roboute Guilliman, Supreme Commander of the Empire and Imperial Regent, is not a daughter-in-law who is caught between the billions of beings in the Empire of Man and the Emperor, the Lord of Mankind.

"A wife who knows how to hide things from both sides." Sulia looked at Beria's expression intently. Seeing his very sincere look, she finally sighed. The Imperial Princess felt the same way. She finally smiled and nodded in agreement: "Very good. Very good, Beria, Ryan and I did not misjudge you. You are worthy of our trust. You are right. We are like a big family. As grandfathers and grandmothers, we have to do a good job ourselves, not because of our own preferences. Just mess around, make your daughter-in-law suffer, and make your children suffer."

"Your Majesty has always been very kind to us. You are the best grandfather and grandmother." Beria said sincerely again: "Since I became your Majesty's subordinate, the sky in Beria has become clear... and I have a The dove of peace on the olive branch is flying over! I wish your majesty and his majesty Ryan to be happy, and that the crown prince will grow up quickly and become a great knight king like his majesty Ryan!"

"Hahahahaha~" Sulia was amused, and the queen couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Beria, you are still busy next, how to reorganize Luo Shuai's army, how to provide rations and jobs, How to allocate and resettle the immigrants is all your business."

"Your Majesty, despite your orders, I will do my best."

Olika lowered her head and said a few words in Sulia's ear. Sulia's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

"Also, Beria, your previous plan is not completely meaningless." The queen added.

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

"I heard that it was because of the mutiny in the Red Navy in Erengrad that Marshal Rokossovsky made up his mind to execute the Cheka who came to carry out the execution order?" Sulia asked.

"Uh...yes, that's true, ma'am. The Red Navy has been training in Lake Erengrad all year round and going out to sea to fight the Norscan dragon ship fleet. It is more influenced by the empire and the elves and dwarves. I don't really admit it. The authority of the Tsar." Beria considered and said: "And because the Red Navy needs to master more navigation knowledge, the soldiers are of higher quality and have a relatively high level of knowledge. It is said that when they have nothing to do, they like to get together and sing His Majesty's works. ‘La Marseillaise’.”

"In that case, is it possible that this kind of mutiny will happen again?" Sulia said casually.

"Of course it's impossible. We in Brittany have generous food rations, clear rewards and punishments, and never withhold or be greedy. His Majesty Lane is fair and strict and has great martial ethics. His prestige is unparalleled and convincing..." Beria said subconsciously. One pass.

"Huh?" Lidya Su gently put down the tea cup.

Suddenly, the Ugor man realized something. He couldn't help but said ecstatically: "Oh! Of course! Of course! The Red Navy had already accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction. They had no rewards, no food, and were even regarded as traitors. They What you eat is the food of the empire, and what you receive is the reward of the Knight Kingdom! Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do!”

"Very well, then it's up to you."

"yes!"

Beria went out, and Sulia and Olika who were left behind looked at each other. The dark elf couldn't help but licked his lips: "What a talent, madam. I can guarantee that this guy can do it even in Nagaros." Make a name for yourself, the Witch King likes people like this."

"In this way, the problem of the Czarina is solved." Sulia nodded lightly: "Ryan will have no worries."

"His army should have arrived at Herzig by now, right?"

"Yes, it is said that large armies are already fighting against the Slaanesh legions that are besieging the city."
