The Sun King's Evidence

Emilia actually had no reason to come to the front line from the beginning to the end.

From the perspective of the military, Emilia is not a warlord type lord. The Imperial Baroness seems to have a high position, but even in Nuer, where she has the most power, Emilia is more of a Nuer. The presiding officer and mediator of the city council, the Imperial Lady was considered to have excellent talents in domestic affairs and diplomacy, but was lackluster in the military.

Defeating Tamu Khan brought great prestige to Emilia, but everyone, even the dwarves, knew that the army was the Nuer military and the Black Lady of Nuer, Elspeth von Dra. The core combat force commanded by Ken was provided by Knight King Lane. All she did was to stand on the city wall holding her son Frederick Jr. to encourage the morale of the army.

Therefore, it is normal for the dwarves to rate her military ability as 2. Emilia's military ability is limited to some basic common sense learned from following Sulia for several years. It is quite satisfactory and has no outstanding features.

So when Emilia received Ryan's love letter in Noor, the Imperial Lady was very surprised. Ryan would actually write a love letter to herself at this time?

This is totally unlike Ryan’s style!

Forget about love letters, I have followed Ryan for many years. From his teens to his twenties, Ryan was either out fighting all day long or coming back to deal with internal affairs and find those two witches and his maids. Or with Sister Lidya Su, if he hadn't made up his mind to pierce the window paper before leaving, Ryan might not have touched him from beginning to end.

Emilia opened the love letter happily, and after reading a few sentences, she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

Tasteless.

What is tasteless?

To put it simply, it is not passionate and emotional enough. Ryan's love letter is a bit too shallow. Amelia wants something more intense and bold.

Reading it again, Emilia understood.

Where is this love letter!

This is clearly an official letter! Her man, Knight King Lane, is a love letter in name only, but in reality he blames the army in the southern part of the empire for its slow progress! We have all arrived at Herzig, but we dare not advance because of lack of troops. We have bought you so much time, why are we still dragging our feet?

The Imperial Lady put down Ryan's love letter and made a decision over and over again, that is, she would come to the front line in person.

The establishment and mobilization of the empire's southern reinforcements did not take much effort. The real problems lie in two places. The first is who is commanding this army? Is it Marshal Reik Heilberg or Marshal Noor Erstein?

Braunschweig and Nuer have never been able to reach an agreement on this point, so their advance has naturally been slow.

The second problem is logistics. The logistics in the southern part of the empire have been used to fully support the war in the northern part of the empire. Then the army that needs to be supplied to the south will have to be supplied to several major palaces in the empire, especially several important financial and taxation centers and Super large cities must spend real money, so who will pay, how much, and how to distribute it is also a very complex political issue. This issue involves the political situation of the entire empire and the struggles within countless palace factions. There is a game between several major chambers of commerce and labor unions to purchase military supplies for the army, which is an amazing piece of super fat meat!

Very annoying, right? Very cumbersome, right? Boring, right?

But that's politics.

All problems were solved after Emilia came to the front line in person. The Imperial Lady announced that she would serve as the nominal commander, and then appointed Marshal Rick Curt Helberg as the actual commander.

The Rick people had no objection to this arrangement, and neither did the Nuer people.

Subsequently, Emilia used her personal prestige and influence to guarantee that she directly borrowed a large amount of materials from the major chambers of commerce and noble families in Talabheim to provide military supplies first, and the logistical problems that had not been solved for a long time in the past were solved instantly.

Everyone was impressed by the Baroness' skill, and the army set off smoothly.

Veronica suddenly felt tremendous pressure when she saw the elegant and elegant Imperial Lady walking out of the cabin. The Witch of Gloria looked at the scene in front of her. More than two hundred Nuer The Iron Armored Army is all equipped with the most sophisticated equipment and weapons produced by the Nur Military Factory and the Dwarf Workshop. Their glorious history, achievements and combat effectiveness need no further explanation.

In addition, there is a Blackstone Guard Corps of more than 500 people. This guard is the personal guard of the Imperial Lady. It enjoys a high salary and also has extremely high requirements. The Blackstone Guard Corps comes from the entire Nuer Recruiting from among the great swordsmen, generally eight out of ten great swordsmen will be eliminated in various assessments, and only the remaining ones can join the Blackstone Guard.

With this army of more than 800 people alone, Veronica knew how powerful Emilia was. She was now the most powerful woman in the empire.

The female speaker opened her mouth. She thought for a long time and didn't even know whether to call her the familiar name Emilia or her real name Emmanolly.

"Call me Emilia, Ms. Veronica." The Imperial Lady looked at Veronica's troubled look with interest. She felt proud, and Emilia raised her chin: "The same is true for Ryan. Call me."

"Happy...welcome, Your Excellency Amelia." Veronica forced a smile.

Emilia did not move forward. She just stood there, standing still on the dock. The face of the Gloria Speaker gradually became embarrassed.

A new bitchi has appeared!

How can we stand still!

As Ryan's representative, Veronica could only go up and salute Emilia: "Very welcome, Your Majesty the Imperial Baroness, your support is crucial to us."

"You're welcome, Ms. Veronica, this is what we should do." Emilia accepted Veronica's courtesy with a smile, and then took Veronica's hand and motioned for them to come together.

Veronica's face was filled with sullen expression. She knew that there was no way she could compete with Emilia, so she could only submit.

Damn it!

"It seems that at least Herziger is safe for now." Marshal Rick Heilberg looked at the situation in the entire city. The old marshal nodded: "It's getting late, move faster!"

"Be quick with your hands and feet." Marshal Nur Erstein also gave the order.

"yes!"

Out of trust in Emilia, Veronica and the Old Guards took a brief inventory of the supplies and military pay, and accepted them all after confirming that there were no problems.

At this time, all the human coalition forces rushed to the door of Hezig. Knight King Ryan, Elector Boris and Elector Edbrand, plus Morgiana and Regent Lawn, all arrived.

"Welcome, very welcome, Emilia." Ryan stretched out his arms and gave the Imperial Baroness a big hug: "Are you here in person?"

"Aren't you welcome?" Amelia smiled at Ryan and said, "Who couldn't wait to write a love letter to me, hoping that I can come and reunite with you?"

The people watching burst into laughter, and Elector Boris even joked: "Brother, you already have two children, and you still have to act like this. You're not ashamed, you're really not ashamed."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha~" Everyone was laughing, but Morgiana's face was very ugly.

And Veronica's face was filled with an unhappy and jealous smirk.

It was she who spent the money to buy Emilia back in Marienburg!

"Well... yes, I took the initiative to invite you here." Ryan gave a smile, and the knight nodded to Helberg and others behind Emilia, and asked softly: "How many troops are here?"

"Not many, just three to four thousand people." Emilia shook her head: "We are the first ones to arrive. We are all the most elite troops, including the Rick Guards, the Kronburg Great Sword Regiment, and the Brunrei Guards. The Glory Guards, Nur Armored Army, Blackstone Guards and two other elite regiments are all here, and the remaining troops will arrive within two days."

"Shao Shao." Ryan sighed: "We have no idea about the situation in Oster Territory right now. It would be better if we could have more troops."

"It takes time for the army to arrive, my dear." Emilia motioned to an old gentleman standing behind her to come forward: "This is old Mr. Krupp. You must know him. He was in Tamu Khan During the invasion, it was his Krupp Chamber of Commerce that donated money and materials to get us through the difficulties.”

"It's a great honor to see you again, Your Majesty the Knight King." The old gentleman wore a round top hat and an elegant black and gold dress. He bent down and saluted: "I am here for you and all of you." Bringing aid from the south, we must work together to fight Chaos."

Ryan nodded slightly. The old guy in front of him is the president of the famous Nuer Krupp Chamber of Commerce and is now the richest man in Nuer. According to estimates, his wealth is estimated to be several hundred thousand gold marks, which is comparable to Schultz.

The opportunity for this guy to make a fortune was the invasion of Tamukhan eight years ago. Under the crisis of Nuer at that time, although it seemed a bit forced, Old Krupp donated the most money and was also the most determined to fight against chaos. President of the Chamber of Commerce, in order to preserve his property, he almost spent the entire Krupp Chamber of Commerce's wealth.

After winning this battle, the Krupp Chamber of Commerce naturally became the biggest winner. The nobles of Nuer supported him, and Dame Emmanuel also admired him. Coupled with many contacts with Ryan, the knight nobles wanted to The first reaction when ordering artillery was to order the famous "Krupp Cannon" from the Krupp Chamber of Commerce in Nuer. According to Sulia's statistics, the Knight Kingdom has ordered a total of 648 artillery pieces of various types from the Krupp Chamber of Commerce in recent years.

Ryan suddenly found it very interesting. The old Mr. Krupp in front of him relied on political speculation and desperate measures at the time to finally become the richest man in Nuer and the largest arms dealer in the old world.

Even to this day, he has become the general munitions agent for the logistics of this war.

As mentioned before, this profession is a super-rich job. Ryan can say that, all the big merchants in the empire, including Marienburg, Britannia, Tyrell, and even the high elves’ big chambers of commerce in the old world, Everyone wants to win this position.

This is not to say that there is a problem of corruption, substandard goods and "transportation losses". In this situation, no one dares to do too much. Once found guilty of "Litong Chaos", the entire clan will be burned at the stake. No one would be that stupid in the end with all property confiscated.

What everyone is eyeing is the huge profits from purchasing military supplies, such as guns, food, medicine, uniforms and other military supplies for the army. Since Motekin's invasion was so large, the scale of military logistics is naturally huge, and the profits are tens of thousands. Units of gold coins are counted upwards, which can't help but make big businessmen excited. They buy low, sell high, hoard, and move around, and gold and silver are rolling in.

However, although this kind of military supplies agency is a first-class job, there is also a necessary condition, that is, the chamber of commerce must have very strong financial strength and be sufficiently trusted by the official, because in the process of purchasing military supplies, the imperial official It is often easy for there to be a "disconnect" between the funds to be prepared and the payment for goods that are about to be delivered. Military agents must often advance money for the official, and then wait for the official to subsequently settle the materials and balance payments. If there is a problem with the capital chain breaking during this process, the United States will The situation could turn into a nightmare at any time, ranging from bankrupting the entire family to burning everyone at the stake.

Looking at the polite old Krupp, Ryan couldn't help but think in his mind that if he really wants to make money honestly and work hard to become a top businessman, it will never be possible. No matter where he is, if he wants to become the richest man, It will definitely be related to politics.

Just like the three major chambers of commerce in Britannia, behind the Oliver Chamber of Commerce and the Hadrian Chamber of Commerce are themselves, and behind the other famous chamber of commerce, the Aniug family, are Laun, Francois, and Baudry. The three Dukes are fully supportive. The three parties compete and cooperate. They are in a dynamic balance and jointly serve the knights and nobles.

This is the highest level of business. The two ends of the trading scale, one end is gold and the other is rings. This kind of transaction can truly give birth to top-notch merchants.

However, if it is related to politics, it is destined to be difficult to escape and have a good ending.

To be honest, the quality of the Krupp cannon is really top-notch. Ryan thought to himself, if this guy made a mistake, could he help him?

Everyone walked towards the city of Herzig. Although the White Wolf Knight, the Holy Grail Knight and the Old Guard were all ordered to arrive in advance and disperse the crowd, Emilia still saw the chaos in Herzig. And weak, the Imperial Lady said softly: "Why are there so many refugees? You don't care?"

"How to manage? This is the internal affairs of the Hawk Territory." Ryan shook his head: "You know, Emilia, once it comes to logistics and material distribution, the bureaucracy, the church, the palace, the army and the chamber of commerce all swarmed. It is not unusual for each other to compete for profit. There are multiple heads and multiple levels of duplication of management. Everyone feels that they have the right to cut a piece of this big cake. In the end, the elector himself often has to come out to solve the problem."

"Isn't it always like this?" Amelia couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't ask that, Ryan."

"It's the same when it comes to relieving victims." Ryan also smiled: "Relieving victims is a typical matter where there is no profit at all and it is easy to take the blame, so everyone avoids it. Bureaucrats talk about relief matters. We should go to the church, but the church said we had to wait for the palace to allocate money. The electorate said that the most important thing now was to ensure the supply of the army, so we should go to the businessmen for a loan. The businessmen agreed to allocate some food relief but asked the bureaucrats to endorse it, but the bureaucrats refused. The endorsement makes businessmen go to the church..."

"Documents implement documents, meetings implement meetings?" Emilia covered her mouth and smiled until her eyes narrowed.

"Hmm~"

The vanguard army from the south of the empire entered the city. Although Herzig was already a little crowded, there were still many places around the suburbs of the city that had been vacated for them to live.

In the evening, Elector Edbrand of Hawkland prepared another grand venison banquet.

However, on the second day after Emilia arrived at Herzig, when most of the army in the southern part of the empire was still slowly arriving at the front line in batches, Herzig received an uninvited guest.

He wanted to find the Knight King Ryan Macado by name!

After the two people met and said a few words, the army stationed in Herzig immediately received joint orders from Ryan and Emilia.

The whole army is ready to set off immediately, and will set off at full speed in one hour!
