Warhammer Throne

|||->-> Sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the King's Suite, Ryan met with Kislev Ugol Archer Marshal Beria Gulag.

Originally Ryan shouldn’t be here to meet Beria, because the King’s Suite is Ryan’s private area on the Landuin. Anyone except Olica and Veronica needs to be notified when they come in. Even if there is something, Ryan I also prefer to meet people in the meeting rooms and restaurants on the deck or cabin, but apparently Ryan is in a good mood today, and Beria took the initiative to show allegiance, which made his Ugol archers from hire The relationship became a affiliation, which made Ryan feel it necessary to meet him in private.

Before, Captain Ivan, who was tall, with rugged features and sunken eye sockets, gave Ryan the impression of a typical Kislov soldier. General Ivan has always focused only on the military. His life is relatively simple. Rarely left the residence that Ryan arranged for the Ugol archers. Except for turkey, beef and vodka, Ivan rarely consumed luxury goods. He even missed his Ugol compatriots in the north of the Linsk River. Every year, at the end of each year, Admiral Ivan will take a part of his salary and exchange it for supplies. The trustee will send it to Olengrad and give it to the Ugol tribe in the north, so that these will be on the front line of the anti-mixing. Our compatriots can get help and survive another winter.

However, unlike Admiral Ivan who had died in battle, Beria gave Ryan the feeling that he was a scholar and a bureaucrat rather than a general. He had a relatively delicate and handsome face from Mrs. Keisler. When he was about forty years old, he was already a little bald, with a pair of rimless round lenses on the bridge of his nose. When his eyes were widened, it was actually difficult for Ryan to compare the man in front of him with a nomad’s child, a pula. The former sergeant of Felix, a wing cavalry general and a construction engineer from Georgia, was linked to a former member of the Kislov House Committee.

Two glasses of kvass are placed on the cherry wood table. This drink from Kislov has a unique aroma of fermented malted milk and hops. It is fermented with big leba bread, and the color is similar to beer. Red, moderately sweet and sour.

"It's delicious and interesting. This is the first time I have tasted this kind of drink called Kvass. It's like wine but not wine. It's interesting." Ryan sat on the sofa, while Olica straightened herself black. Simei legs, standing behind Ryan, the king said meaningfully: "If Admiral Ivan is a bottle of hot vodka, then Captain Beria, are you this kind of mellow Kvass?"

"Your Majesty Ryan is absurd." Beria lowered his head extremely humbly and respectfully. Although the Urgolls were sitting, half of his body was actually leaning against Ryan's side, which allowed him to sit on the sofa. Sitting incorrectly, a little impolite, as if to emphasize his identity, Beria wore his standard military uniform made by the Brittany textile factory: "I just think your Majesty might like it."

"So." Ryan nodded slightly, and he picked up the mug casually: "If I just drink a drink, I can drink it forever. Why didn't you bring vodka?"

"Compared to kvass and vodka, my majesty, I prefer Breton wines. If I can, can I have a chance to get drunk with you?" Beria asked very sincerely and humblely. Own request.

"If there is a chance." The knight king calmly drank his drink, and Olica brought up the exquisite dessert.

Beria knew that some of his meaning had been passed on to the king through very obscure methods, so he immediately took the initiative to enter the topic: "Your Majesty, this is the way it is, you know, the Ugol Archers are in this great expedition. The loss is not small, so when I return to the country, please allow me to take someone back to Kislov and gather more Ugol archers to serve you."

"Call more?" Ryan immediately caught the key words in Beria's words, and he asked with a smile, "How many people do you plan to call?"

"How many people does your majesty allow me to summon?" Beria immediately retracted and threw the question to Ryan.

"I am asking you questions, not you asking me questions." Ryan said calmly.

"If you can... Your Majesty, I want to expand the Archers into a regiment with a thousand people." Beria was confused by Ryan's words, but this kind of question and answer in front of the king, the biggest taboo is a long time. Silent, the captain of the archer knew he had to get some dry goods: "I have a way, sire, but I think I must get your approval, I need some proper appointments... from your appointment, and the proper goods monopoly license. ."

"Cargo monopoly license? What goods monopoly license do you want?" Ryan narrowed his eyes.

His feeling is really right. This Ugol named Beria is more like a bureaucrat than a soldier.

"Food, textiles and daily necessities. Of course, it would be better if there were some other things, such as dwarf equipment, medicine." Beria whispered: "This will help me, no, we, help. We give Mrs. Keesler more favors and the favor of the czar, my majesty."

"It's just conscription, it doesn't seem to be so troublesome, right? Mr. Beria?" the king said amusedly: "Ivan never has to be so troublesome to win a prize."

"Yes, if your majesty only needs conscription, of course you don't have to be so troublesome, but... if I'm not wrong, your majesty has already begun to industrialize Brittany, right?" Beria asked cautiously, he Try to make your voice humble: "Don't forget, Your Majesty, Kislov was industrialized twenty years ago."

"Heh... what can a failed industrialization show?" Ryan sneered: "From the very beginning, Kislov's industrialization was doomed to fail."

"Yes, you are right, my majesty, the industrialization of Kislov must have failed from the beginning." Beria nodded convincingly, and then he began to throw out his real plan: "Please Listen to me for a while, Your Majesty, can you let me finish?"

"Okay, go ahead." Ryan nodded slightly.

After the great jihad, the entire Kislov has been turned into ruins under the hand of the second “anointed one” of Chaos Eternal God's "Anointed One", the residents have been slaughtered, and the tsar’s army, wealth, and power are no longer sufficient. To rebuild all of Kislov’s glorious past, Mrs. Kisler can only survive on her own land, and to make matters worse, after the death of Tsar Romanov who fought against Chaos, it was Katerina who took over his czar. , "Bloody" Katerina, the female czar's real body is a female vampire of the Lemia family. She carried out an extremely cruel and **** rule and massacre on Kislev. The House Committee was at that time Established, the female czar reigned for more than a hundred years, until her own son, Pavel, stepped forward and sealed Catalina in a block of ice, finally ending this terrible history.

But Pavel was very old. He died soon and had no heirs. The throne fell into the hands of Vladimir Bokaha. The new ruler finally decided to stand up and face the people from the north. Threatened, and he soon died on the battlefield as he wished.

The son of Vladimir Bokaha is the famous "Red Tsar" Boris Bokaha, the father of the current Queen of Ice and Snow Katalin. His deeds include rebuilding the Faith of Ersun and importing from the empire vigorously. Advanced technology and gunpowder weapons, emptied all the treasures and treasures of the tsar’s treasury, vigorously carried out infrastructure construction, rebuilt bridges, roads, and towns, imported a large amount of black powder, and hired imperial engineers.

Boris finally died in the kingdom of trolls at the end of the "Battle of Purge". This has already been said before, so I won’t repeat it here, but it’s worth mentioning that the czar was great, but he was very Slov’s industrialization efforts have almost completely failed. In addition to the astonishing national debt and the huge price paid, all industrialization efforts and infrastructure construction also declared bankruptcy following his death.

Ryan was not surprised by this.

Industrialization is of course a shortcut to make a country prosperous and strong, but rapid industrialization does not mean a few words. A purpose can be started immediately. It has several prerequisites. In summary, it is roughly the following points.

Good agricultural foundation, sufficient large amount of circulating funds, good technical guidance and professional talents, sufficient population surplus, and relatively abundant sources of raw materials.

Only with the above conditions can industrialization become possible. This is not to say that the monarch thinks like this in his heart, and then press a button, the entire country will instantly transform, and the industrialization will begin with a "call".

It also took Ryan more than ten years to prepare for industrialization. The southern part of Bretania has a good agricultural foundation. The blood dragon ancestors and the Bafeng Mountain Expedition brought him extremely rich funds. The Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Aid Alliance can guarantee the acquisition of technical guidance and the training of professionals from the empire, the immigrants from the empire and the serf's household registration redemption system ensure a sufficient population surplus, and finally bring raw materials from the gray mountains and trade.

So the question is, what does Kislov have?

Agricultural basis? All the land in Kislov is permafrost, and only a very small amount of land blessed by the ice witches can be cultivated. Where is the agricultural foundation to support industrialization?

Enough large amount of working capital? It was not enough for the Tsar's family to emptied every gold coin in its own money and every treasure in the treasure house. Kislov could not even support the wing cavalry.

In the final analysis, technical guidance and professionals are also a question of money, so I won't discuss it here.

Sufficient population surplus? How can the dilemma that Kislov is facing no longer needs to be emphasized? With such terrible military pressure and extremely bad geographical location, where is the population surplus? The Ugol people on the north side of the Linsk River couldn't live happily before they rushed to become mercenaries!

Therefore, we can only count it as close to the raw materials, but even the raw materials are basically controlled by the Greenskin Tribe in the Roof Mountains of the World, the Chaos Tribe and the Greenskin Tribe in the Troll Kingdom, and the Skar in the Hell Pit. In the hands of the Squirrels and the Eslin tribe of the Mourning Mountains, why did Kislov prefer to lose 20,000 people before expelling the Eslin tribe? Isn't it just to be able to open up the trade route with Dulong City?

Therefore, Boris Bokaha's failure is inevitable, because Kislov has no conditions for industrialization at all.

"But Kislov has a group of outstanding engineers, workers, and scholars. They are the precious legacy left over from this industrialization and the most precious gift left by His Majesty Boris, but His Majesty Katalyn is useless. Good for them, Your Majesty, an excellent Kislov engineer. His salary is actually two big liba plus five copper coins a day. Do you think this is fair?" Beria said courageously, "We, no The talents of these people should be left to waste in the ice and snow of Kislov. They deserve a better platform to display their talents, a more decent and better-paid job, a better house and a family to enjoy. Safe environment."

"Hahahaha~" Ryan smiled, smiling very happily, the Knight King touched his chin, and said to Beria: "Is this talking about you? Mr. Beria, I remember you used to be Prager A construction engineer from the Society of Engineers."

"No one wants to have only big Liba all day, relying on the glass of vodka after work every day." On this question, Beria was rather frank: "Your Majesty, this is the truth."

"Yeah..." Ryan understood this, and indeed, as Beria said, this group of engineers, workers, and scholars were the most precious wealth after Kislov's industrialization failed, but the Czar Katalyn did not use it well. And settle them down.

In fact, it’s not to blame Kata Lin, how poor the czarist family has been? The Faberge eggs that are already poor as a national treasure are sold for money! It was so poor that the czar herself began to make magic weapons and magic scrolls to sell to the electors of the empire!

If these engineers, workers and scholars can be taken over, industrialization in the future can avoid many detours, and can quickly obtain a group of high-quality population, but their requirements are very low, with bread and milk, a higher salary, and safety. Environment, they can be satisfied.

Ryan's heart moved: "What do you want to do?"

"I need you to canonize me as the special envoy of Brittany, give me a small elite guard, a sum of military funds, and the previous cargo monopoly. I can do it, trust me." Beria repeated himself. Requirements.

"Very well, I promise you that the will will be issued after returning home!" Ryan has already made up his mind.

Beria's body was trembling uncontrollably. The archer captain shook his hands slightly, suppressing his excitement. Beria took a sip of Kvass, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, the Czar ruled Keith. Loew has been too long, so long that everyone has forgotten that it was once the land of the Ugol people."

"Huh?!" Ryan opened his eyes wide.

"The Bear God should give Kislov a humble czar and a commander who can dominate the three armies like Boris! Kislov needs..."

"Is your kvass really just a soft drink? Why do I feel a little drunk and I haven't drunk too much." Ryan said lightly, "Sorry, I was a little dizzy just now, I didn't hear clearly, you say it again?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing, it's not an important thing." Beria immediately understood, he sneered, bowed his head respectfully, and then exited the room: "I'm disturbing."

When Beria went out, Olica said sarcastically: "If you don't look at his appearance, Master, I think he is more like an ambitious Trucchi noble."

"A dog, a dog that can bite people, if you use it well, it might really work."
