Bang Bang Bang! The bell echoed over the platform, and it was time to board the train again.

"Get in the car! Get in the car! ”

"The train to the capital is about to depart, and there is no money for tickets, station tickets, hanging tickets, and roof tickets, and the villagers who want to go to the founding celebration should hurry up and get on the train!"

The conductor was interrupted as soon as he started shouting, and the driver came out of the locomotive window and corrected in a serious voice: "Uncle, you are wrong again!" Keephom is no longer the capital of the province, it is the capital of our kingdom of Koras! Its name is no longer a bullshit fortress, and our new King, His Majesty Rudolf I, will declare at the ceremony that all Far Easterners are no longer heretics, and His Majesty will name our capital after his great surname! ”

"Haha, you're right! The Atonement Fort is no longer the Atonement Fort and will be renamed Krasbourg after today! Long live the King! ”

"Long live the King!"

"Long live Your Majesty Rudolph!"

"Long live the kingdom of the Far Easterners!"

There was thunder of joy on the platform.

"Hey, look at these guys, happy like a bunch of drunk monkeys!" The train driver grinned at the two Canaanite passengers beside him.

"Dude, how far is it from here to the Citapuria?" The young traveler wrapped in a black cloak and wearing a wide-brimmed hat asked the driver with a smile, his smile was particularly friendly due to his milky white skin and beautiful face.

"It's not far away, guaranteed to arrive at the station before the sun sets." The train driver skillfully pulled down a few levers, and the magic steam engine started violently, and the water vapor rose into the sky, making the whistle make a sharp long sound, and the train started slowly.

The bearded man next to the handsome young man stood up and looked out the window, only to see that the platform was in chaos, in addition to the passengers who were already on the train, many locals rushed to hear the news early, and also took the train to the Fort Atonement to watch the ceremony. Despite the fact that the train was already heavily overloaded, people persevered to catch up and try to squeeze into the already overcrowded carriages.

"Idiot! Don't squeeze it, the carriage is about to explode! ”

"Can't you just wait for the next bus?"

"you! God knows when the bus will come, I can't miss this big day! ”

As a result, those who insisted on boarding the train still came up, either hanging by the door like a wind chicken, or climbing to the roof of the car with difficulty.

"These guys are insane, they don't have any sense of security at all." The bearded man shook his head and muttered.

"Haha! Don't worry, I'm an old driver, absolutely safe! The reassurance of the train driver did not change the Canaanites' mind, and they turned to his young traveling companion and complained, "Coropha, I have long advised you to be transported directly to the Citapuria, for you must take the train and suffer this living sin!" ”

"Rubin, isn't that good?" "Look at the passengers, who, despite the very difficult conditions of the journey, are happy and looking forward to the end of the journey, and it seems to me that this positive and optimistic mood shows that the government of Kolas enjoys the general support of all strata of the population in the Far East, and how can we make a realistic assessment of the new regime in the Far East if we do not take the train, if we do not go deep among the people, see their attitudes with our own eyes, and listen to their arguments." ”

"Well, Colossa, I have to apologize for not being good at work." Canaanite Foreign Minister Ruben Soult raised the brim of his hat and muttered a little unconvinced, "But I still have to say that the transportation construction in the Far East is too backward, especially railway transportation, at least ten years behind Canaan." ”

"It is true that the transportation in the Far East is very backward, this is true, but this is not to blame the Kolas government, the empire has ruled the Far East for thousands of years, successive emperors and successive cabinets have invested too much money in this land to implement infrastructure, and it is inevitable that the capacity of the only railway line will be tight, and it is more worthy of our attention whether the new government can fulfill its promise to the people after the establishment of the new government, and build more railways and roads in this land free from the control of the empire, so that people can travel more conveniently." Gorofa looked out the car window, "All this will take time to verify, but judging from the reaction of the people, the approval rating of the Kolas regime in the Far East is higher than we thought, which is clearly conducive to long-term rule." ”

"But how long the Kolas regime can survive depends not on the naïve populace on the train, but on the attitude of the Imperial authorities," Rubin Sirter asserted coldly, "and once the Imperial Cabinet has made the decision to go eastward and the army marches from the Ulino Pass into the Far East, the new dynasty of the Fort of Atonement will not be far from falling." ”

Glofa glanced at his old friend with a gloomy face and smiled slightly: "It can be seen that you have a deep grudge against Koras and his son, and the secret meeting half a month ago must have been very unpleasant. ”

Rubin shrugged: "I'm doing things for the Hou Ye, I can't talk about any personal grudges with the Koras father and son, the other party's hospitality is also courteous, but when it comes to business, he pretends to be stupid, and seems to have completely forgotten who paid for the equipment to help them grow stronger when they were just a militia with incomplete weapons, frankly speaking, without the Hou Ye's funding, the Kolas Legion would not be where it is today, but Rudolph, the guy who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, his gratitude to the Hou Ye is only in words, I am reluctant to show any practical benefits, and the despicability of human character really chills my heart, so I really don't understand, why did you come to the Far East to deal with the Kolas family? ”

"I have some different views on this issue." Grofa leaned against the car door with his arms crossed, and the cool breeze blew comfortably, "We did fund Rudolph, but we took the wrong attitude from the beginning, Rubin, let's assume such a situation, you are very tight on money now, borrow money from me, I promise to lend you money, but there are two conditions, first you have to accept a very high interest on repayment, which is not enough, you still have to recognize me as a godfather, what do you think?" ”

Rubin tugged at the corners of his mouth and said helplessly: "I have to admit that this kind of funding seems to have a hint of insult, but the Hou Ye did not mean to insult Rudolph at the beginning, in fact, he valued Rudolph's talent very much, and thought that he was a young man, so he moved the idea of accepting him as a righteous son, which was completely out of love and cultivation of talents, but unfortunately Rudolph did not know the hearts of good people and lived up to the good intentions of the Hou Ye." ”

Glopha shook his head, and his tone was particularly heavy: "Rubin, the customs and traditions of each place are also different, we Canaanites pay more attention to family glory than blood relations, and it is very common for the great nobles to adopt young people from humble backgrounds as righteous sons to strengthen the family power, and the other party will not feel humiliated by this, but the Far East is not Canaan, you must know that the customs here are very different from ours!" ”
