Chapter 1330: The Intertwined Status Quo (Part II)
The royal family of Astus, the royal family of the predecessor of the empire, the kingdom of Mano, can definitely be said to have single-handedly contributed to the establishment of the empire. Not only that, but the current twenty-three major princely families have an inseparable relationship with it from the very beginning. Together with the seven giant companies within the empire, if it were not for the support and help of the Aastus family at the beginning of the empire's establishment, it would not have been possible to get to where it is today. They complement each other, but they are like the unsolvable troubles they have created for themselves, but without them, the empire probably wouldn't be what it is today.
Needless to say, the Astus family's own heritage has been in existence since the Mano Kingdom, and its history is much deeper than that of the other families of the four forces of the empire. A lot of hidden information, some ancient ruins and things related to ancient history, etc., the Astus family, as the leader at the beginning, is naturally very clear in their hearts. However, how long the decline began, I am afraid that not many people can clearly say.
"But the Knight Squire Examination gives the Astus family a good chance to rise and carry out their plans. The five knight squires did need to consume a huge amount of resources within the Astus family, but they didn't seem to want to give up on any of them. It must be said that the ambition is great. Hesley pondered, "There is a lot of information that is now semi-public, and as far as the king's faction in the four forces is concerned, the king's family and the five princes' families, which have not been together before, seem to have a tendency to merge at this time. It is not clear the reason for this change, but as one of the four forces, when it has cohesion, the combined strength may be very terrifying. ”
"Do you want to restore your original glory?" said Kasia.
"It should be, the entire empire was theirs at the beginning, and whoever it is, maybe they all have such thoughts in their hearts. However, I don't think it's very likely, the times have long been different, not to mention the twenty-three major princess families, just the Holy Emperor Hall side needs to involve too much energy in the past. ”
"By the way, it's not just Astus who is making bigger moves within the Empire - openly cooperating with the Imperial Mineral Source and the Three Primary Colors Group, on their own solid red mercury project. Not long ago, the Holy Emperor Hall was also abnormal, firstly, a large number of Holy Envoys from countless Holy Halls were summoned to the Holy Emperor Halls, which were distributed and reorganized in various regions, and secondly, the number of incumbents for the Yuanjiang Sacrifice was reduced. This means that in the near future, more powerful surgeons will return from fortresses, important frontier locations, and extreme regions. These people will probably go to various important regions of the empire in the near future to take charge of some Holy Emperor Hall branches. ”
Correspondingly, within the twenty-three major families, including Chiraandi, according to the information within the Webley family, they had convened a large meeting a few months earlier, with the participation of the patriarchs and members of the Council of Elders. The content of the meeting is unknown, and I don't know the level of authority, but this is probably the cause of this great change in the situation within the Empire. ”
"Is it because the Kiraandi family was also involved in the meeting?" said Kasia, who pondered for a moment before looking at Hesley, "There are only seven mega-corporations left now. ”
"Don't count on the specific situation, it's a meeting, but it doesn't seem to be pleasant in the middle. After all, everyone in the bones is a businessman, everyone is extremely shrewd, and no one wants to give up anything. Now the most powerful are the Imperial Mineral Source and the Three Primary Color Group, and the successful development and basic mass production of solid-state red mercury imitations will definitely make them the focus for a period of time in the future. But whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, only those in high positions can see it clearly. ”
"Even if there are downsides, there are certainly more benefits. "A businessman never lets himself suffer. ”
"Perhaps, but it's not for sure, there are too many people in the empire who have built their own companies, and not many have succeeded. ”
"The nature of the two is completely different from the starting point, Hesley. Kasia smiled, "It's not an appropriate analogy." ”
Hesley didn't refute and nodded: "Looking at it now, the only one who has fallen silent is the Imperial Diet. This has always been the case with the Avalon agency and is not in the picture. In the case of the Imperial Military Department, the intertwined network is too complicated to say what the situation is. In short, for those of us who have not experienced war, there is so much to learn in the future, and we have to be more careful in our actions. Just like the little insect that moves forward with the steel wheel of history, not only must you always maintain abundant energy to chase the fast steel wheel, but you must always be careful that the steel wheel will not suddenly turn and run over you all at once. ”
"There is really not much time, the Quartet forces have a lot of resources in their hands, and there are reserves of talents in all aspects, and they only need to make corresponding plans for many things, and then they can implement them smoothly. But we 、、、," Kasia sighed, "it's not that there are too many constraints on all sides, but it's that it's too weak and has to take into account all aspects, which leads to constant changes in plans, and the final result is not as I thought, it's all regret." ”
"In this way, how to say, you can always train yourself from all aspects. With a smile, Heslie finally found an optimistic point in it, "There are many opportunities in it, and if you grasp it well, the speed of development will be extremely rapid." Just like at the beginning of the empire. The advent of the red star this time is already special, and in a few years, no one can say what will become of the bottom. In short, we are small and have both disadvantages and advantages. ”
"The disadvantage is that it is possible to die all of a sudden, and the advantage, because it is small, it can be drilled anywhere and anywhere, even if the red star falls down one day, it is something like the Quartet that is at the forefront. ”
"But despite all the things that have happened, everyone still restrains each other. The friction that happens is all out of sight, and no one wants to be the one who lights the fuse. It's just that how long it lasts is anyone's guess. Compared to a year or two ago, a lot of things that were not allowed are slowly becoming the norm now. It's a sure thing that things are getting worse and worse, and before the Red Star comes, something big will definitely happen. In short, as you said, Commander, time is really running out. Another point, if time permits, I suggest that the head of the regiment you had better change your face and go back to the empire with a different identity. A month or two will do. ”
"I'm afraid I'm not going to get used to it?" asked Kasia, "I'm sure I'm not going to be used to, a small country is a comfortable place compared to the three giant countries." ”
Hesley nodded, agreeing with Kasia's words: "Go on, the rest of the people are all the people you are most familiar with, the head of the regiment. Jetrin, Atohuan, Selmer, and many more. The Webley family's own people, knowing their condition, are much simpler. Not enough for Ye Jielin's character, some information also chose to erase it by herself. ”
