Chapter 139

In the evening, at the foot of Mount Saint Hilde.

At the entrance of the road up the mountain, in the woods on the roadside, several four wheeled carriages with imperial insignia inlaid on their doors were standing in line.

Several Royal Knights stood idly aside, their eyes wary of any wind and grass around them.

In the open space surrounded by carriages, Frederick sat on a pony with a thick, cowhide covered book, frowning and turning the pages.

After turning over a dozen pages, Frederick swore in a low voice, closed the book heavily and threw it on the grass at his feet.

It can be seen that on the dark brown leather cover, the title of the book and the author's signature are printed on several lines of large gilt characters, the author of which is Ma Yat, first-class admiral of the ice sea kingdom.

"Meaningless, Lucian, meaningless."

"The so-called fleet, the total number of naval guns of large and small caliber in the whole fleet is more than 15000 There are no less than 60 battleships at all levels. Damn it, 60

Frederick stood up, drew out his sword, and with one sword cut off a small tree about his side.

His dark gray eyes twinkled, and he growled angrily: "when the kingdom of the ice sea has begun to discuss the conventional tactics of the fleet, the entire Derun Empire has evacuated all its mobile forces, and it is impossible to piece together a large fleet!"

"We have discussed the ship building plan for 20 years, 20 years!"

"How many new warships have we launched in these 20 years? I can't bear to say that number. "

"I can't understand why the shipyard equipment, engineers, designers, skilled workers who were robbed from the kingdom of St. HIA were controlled by the army?"

"It's so interesting that the army of a country controls the lifeblood of the Navy."

Lu Xi'an was sitting on another Mazar, reading the "imperial capital daily" sent by train this morning. The speed of the train was limited. The content in this newspaper had been about ten days ago, and he still read it with great interest.

After listening to Frederick's roaring and complaining, Lucian patted his head helplessly: "Your Highness, what can I do? It was the army that broke into the kingdom of Saint heath, plundered the shipyards and brought back so many engineers, designers and skilled workers. "

"By that man's means, these resources are naturally under the control of the army."

"So that's one of the purposes of your Royal Highness's sending you to port Tulun - the Imperial Navy must have its own marine strength. A lame navy can't compete for that one anyway."

Frederick put his sword on a big tree. He held his chest in his hands and looked at the top of Mount St. Hilde: "yes, that's one of the purposes of my coming to port Toulon Have you chosen the location of the Marine Corps Command? "

Lu Xian nodded with a smile: "it's not bad. They assigned the original customs building of port Tulun to us. It's a very strong fortress building, very practical, very suitable for the headquarters

Frederick's face darkened again: "I don't like that building. It's been shelled and killed But, well, in port Tulun, we don't count. Wait a minute. After the formation of our marine force, we will take care of these minor matters

On the bell tower of the cathedral, six bells were ringing.

Lu Xi'an stood up, took out a small pocket watch with a gold case, and said in a loud voice, "Your Highness, get ready to go."

"It's a custom in the South and a bar mitzvah for important members of the family. The guests start to enter in the afternoon with tea, drinks and drinks. It's a formal social tea party."

"Starting at six o'clock, the dinner party with the main goal of showing off financial resources will be prepared, and the main course will be cooked in public I'm curious about the main course that the ritters are preparing this evening

"The dinner party doesn't officially start until 7 o'clock. From 6:30 to 7:00, the protagonist of the bar mitzvah will be allowed to show his talent. You know, it's like a peacock opening its screen. It's a way to show off its feathers and attract the opposite sex. "

"After a short dinner party, the ball starts at eight o'clock, and goes into the night, or even early in the morning."

Lu Xi'an put the pocket watch back into the chest pocket, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "it's a complicated and boring procedure, which is much more fancy than the adult banquet of the imperial capital. But it's understandable, isn't it? "

Frederick drew out his sword and drew it back into its sheath.

"Yes, I can understand They have money, so they can squander. And we're going to come in person and give a grown-up gift to the son of a little country bumpkin, little junck. "

Lu Xi'an sighed: "for military expenses, your highness, for military expenses."

Frederick sighed: "yes, for the golden mark At that time, the respected grandmother gave in to those damned rich men for the golden mark, and opened up the chaebol aristocracy system in addition to the traditional military aristocracy system of the Empire... ""Money is not everything, but without money, it is absolutely impossible." Frederick shook his head in pain, and stepped into his carriage with three sighs.

In the car, Heinrich, dressed up, sat there without expression.

Frederick took a deep look at hyneville and said in a deep voice, "Dear Heinrich, today, you can't be willful. Laugh, you have to smile brightly, and then go get close to Joe's mother, sister and sister. "

"I don't care what you do, I don't care how humiliating you feel. In a word, you have to get rid of your bad impression in their hearts."

"You want to be a friend to the ladies of the Rittal family. Even if you can't be a close friend, you have to be their friend. Remember? "

Henevy closed her eyes. After a while, she opened them and then gave a smile: "Dear Frederick, of course I know what I should do For the Navy

Frederick laughed. He patted hyneville's little hand and said in a deep voice, "for the Navy!"

Frederick sat heavily on the seat. After a long time, Lucian ran into the carriage. He said with a light smile: "the more important people are, the later they arrive, this is the privilege of the great people Just now the Marquis of sijak and Duke of Roth's motorcade have passed, and we can also set out. "

"As an imperial family, you cannot arrive earlier than them." Lucian whistled easily.

"I quite agree with that If not, I'd like to see Joe's talent show. We should press the line until seven o'clock. " Frederick shook his fingers. "Lucian, what kind of talent do you think our country bumpkin little junck's fat son will give us?"

There was a light, sarcastic laugh from the carriage.

Several carriages left the grove and went back to the road outside, all the way to the Weitu house in the mid mountain area.

The Marquis of sijak and the Duke of Roth have passed one by one, and Frederick will undoubtedly be the latest guest to be present Waiting in the roadside woods for more than two hours in advance is not that what you want?

On the grass in front of the main building of the wittu family, the arrival of Marquis sijak did not stir up any waves.

After all, there are so many dukes and Marquis families around Hessen. Among them, more than half of them have more power and influence than Marquis sijak in the imperial aristocracy circle.

It was the presence of the Duke of rose that caused a little commotion.

Some of Hessen's friends, also from the Duke's family, followed Hessen to the gate in person to greet Duke Ross with bandage on his left hand.

Everyone knows that a free port and three provinces in the southern Special Administrative Region are the territory of Duke Ross. No matter how powerful the noble family is, if they want to share a piece of benefits in port Tulun, they must get the consent of Duke Ross.

Surrounded by the stars and the moon, Duke Ross is in a good mood. Wearing a red dress and covered with red rhododendrons on his hat, Duke Ross gently shakes a small folding fan and keeps laughing happily.

"Ho ho ho ho ho, you're welcome. Joe is a lovely, capable little fellow. Oh, I remember the first time I saw him. He was just such a small person."

"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would be an adult. It's incredible. Ho ho ho ho, I just come here as an ordinary elder. Please don't be restrained. Celebrate and enjoy yourself. "

"Mr. rose is right. I'm here as a normal friend." Frederick's motorcade arrived just in time. Two stiff faced ceremonial officers announced Frederick's titles in a loud voice. The red faced Philip walked out of the carriage with a loud smile.

There was a low, exaggerated exclamation in the crowd.

The wedding ceremony for the youngest son of the Ritu family was attended by so many top nobles, but there were royal family members specially attending.

No matter what purpose these people came to the Rittal's house, they specially gave the initiation ceremony of Xiqiao.

Whatever the reason, the influence of the wittoons in port Tulun is obvious.

Hessen raised his eyebrows and took a quick look at Duke Ross.

Prince rose was smiling and nodding.

Hessen, with the other six members of the seven member committee and a large group of leading figures from port TURUN, warmly welcomed Frederick.

"Your Royal Highness, your presence is a great threat to the Rittal family."

"Oh, no, no, Monsieur Hessen, take me for Joe's ordinary friend In the future, I will stay in port Toulon. I hope I can really become a friend of Joe. What do you think? "

Hessen bowed ninety degrees and assured Frederick, "this is a matter of course. Come in, your highness."

After a busy period of time, when Hessen accompanied Frederick and Duke Ross back to the main building, Joe, who was forced to dress up and be coquettish, was walking out of the porch of the main building and onto a wooden platform specially built in front of the main building's porch.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
