Chapter 359

EP.359

Immediately after parting ways with Peter Yeager, the Foreign Minister visited James I, the monarch of the United Kingdom of Britannia.

This is because I decided that I should quickly report the news that the Reich Empire had made a very unconventional proposal.

“I meet His Highness James, rightful ruler of the Bluelands of Britannia Highland Sales.”

The Foreign Minister knelt down on one knee to show his respect, but the young King, whose enjoyment of night life was interrupted so late at night, kept yawning and looking annoyed.

It was an appearance that no ruler of the Reich Empire or any normal country would show.

The fact that a minister of a country requests an audience at such a time means that something important has happened that even the king needs to put aside everything else to know.

Getting annoyed without thinking about such things first would be evidence that he lacks the skills to be a king.

“What happened to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to ask for an audience with me at such a late hour? “If it’s something serious, I’d like you to report it tomorrow morning.”

“I’m sorry, but because Imperial Marshal Peter Yeager personally came to me and gave me a mouth-watering offer.”

James waved his hand after hearing that.

“What on earth are you suggesting?” Well, it’s not like I’m suggesting an arranged marriage between my daughter and the imperial prince. “Where are you talking about going to war with us?”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs took a moment to catch his breath and spoke with weight in his voice.

“That’s not true, but Peter Yeager has offered to give us a port through which we can cross over to the Francois Republic.”

No matter how incompetent or capable the king may be, let’s hear the news that the ‘landing port’ problem, which had been the biggest obstacle to the United Kingdom’s ability to attack Francois, has been resolved...

While having fun in James’ head The unpleasant feeling of being interrupted disappeared in an instant.

The place was filled with expectations and hopes that they could now take revenge for being defeated by Francois after a war that lasted 120 years and being imprisoned in an island country.

The irritated expression suddenly changed into a smiling expression with the corners of the mouth raised up to the ears, and the attitude of wanting the person to turn it off on its own because he was not interested changed to the excited look of a child listening to an exciting adventure story.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs could emotionally understand the king’s changed attitude, but he still felt a tug in the back of his neck, thinking that a man named the king was getting annoyed because he was interrupted by urgent business while having sex at night.

‘It is natural for any human being in the United Kingdom of Britannia to jump for joy when they hear that a way to take revenge on those Francois has been opened. But before that, our Highness is showing such displeasure that he was interrupted only once during sex?’

However, if he utters that thought, the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs, which he obtained by paying a huge bribe and even engaging in political maneuvering, could be lost and the family could be at a disadvantage.

Although both the Foreign Minister and James were reluctant to follow Peter Jaeger’s suggestion, they knew that it was a golden opportunity to get revenge on Francois and that if they refused, Britannia would not be able to stop Peter Jaeger if he came with a real army of 200,000. to.

The young king gritted his teeth and spoke of the amazing solution he had come up with after listening to Peter Jaeger’s suggestion.

“Recapturing the Grand Duchy of Brumandy is a wish that the United Kingdom of Britannia has had for hundreds of years. Therefore, I will never miss this opportunity that came my way. “Even if we deploy the maximum number of soldiers and resources that can be mobilized.”

Although the Minister of Foreign Affairs is not the Prime Minister, he received a warning due to the time he accumulated while rising to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs.

‘If the war involves mobilizing the maximum power that the United Kingdom can muster, our national power will be greatly reduced, so we must first be prepared to give up everything we have. And the fate of the country will depend on the future commander of the army. ‘Who will lead that army?’

“And then all power will be concentrated in the hands of whoever commands the army.”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Accordingly, this army will be personally commanded by me, James Marlborough. Then, since they will be united around the king, there will be no fights for command. “Isn’t that right?”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs felt dizzy before his eyes as he recalled that damn war hundreds of years ago.

King James took this opportunity to force local soldiers and nobles who had gradually expressed their dissatisfaction with him into dangerous battle lines and punish them with ‘military law’ if they did not follow orders, in an attempt to strengthen centralization by consolidating all power to himself. I drew up

‘Since our ancestors used similar methods hundreds of years ago, I will be able to strengthen my royal authority using similar methods.’

The king, now convinced, stood up from the throne and gave orders to the secretaries waiting around him.

“Tomorrow morning, we will gather all the ministers to discuss the great expedition to the Francois Republic and make plans to recapture Bromandy! So please write a subpoena.”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs thought as he watched the scene.

‘Peter Jaeger, you son of a bitch, it’s all well and good to invade the Francois Republic. How far on earth did you read this before you made it so bad that the King said he would run his own government?’

Peter Jaeger could not hear this, but if he had, he would have been mortified.

Because even the king’s own family was an issue that he could not consider.

However, since it was an achievement that went beyond what he intended, there was nothing bad about the Reich Empire.
