Chapter 339 Pro-Phoenix King Faction

This question made the students think about it for a long time, but as one person raised his hand, someone finally took the initiative to speak.

A tall and handsome young man stood up, without any stage fright under the gaze of thousands of people. He took the magic stone from the staff and spoke in a very firm and calm voice.

"Prince, I have a question."

Imrik looked at the cold reactions of the students in the audience and knew that this young man was probably not very popular in the academy, but what was strange was why he seemed familiar to him, so he said with confusion,

"Of course, no problem is scarier than having problems, but I would like to ask a question first, have we met somewhere?"

"I am Bernard Archibald."

Well, Qing Randy's great-grandson, no wonder he looks familiar, but why is he here instead of being trained by the Dragon Prince in the family.

The academy does not provide high-quality combat teaching. The preparatory dragon prince who comes here to study only needs to complete the necessary courses such as dragon studies. Judging from his appearance, he seems to be a permanent student.

But the Dragon Prince doesn't want to pay attention to this matter. It seems that the champion warrior who is highly respected in the country also has a lot of troubles at home.

"Okay, Bernard, although I don't quite understand how Mr. Randy allowed you to escape the Dragon Prince's training, everyone has their own choice. Tell your problem."

Bernard finally thought about it for a moment and asked a very sensitive question.

"Prince, regarding the colonial plan, can we get the support of the Phoenix Royal Court?"

Imrik's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. This Bernard is a bit interesting. The plan for the colony has been announced a long time ago. It can be said that except for the Phoenix King's nominal right to know about the colony, there is no room for intervention. It is completely dominated by the Dragon Palace.

And his intention is obviously not to find material support from the Phoenix King Court, but to let Fenuba invest his influence in the colony. From the perspective of the development of the colony, this is not a bad thing, but it is a habit of saying one word. The dead Dragon Prince does not intend to use parliament to assist decision-making.

"Unfortunately, the palace has no intention of seeking the support of the Phoenix King. This matter is a national matter in Caledor, not a racial incident in Assur. I believe that as to whether there is compulsory control between the Phoenix King and the prince, you political science teachers know better than I do.”

Imric's tone was very calm, and did not change at all because of this sensitive issue. Therefore, this kid is a pro-Itain faction. No wonder Randy never said anything about his great-grandson. It probably made him feel ashamed. .

Just when Bernard wanted to explain this issue and just asked if the Phoenix King would support this matter, the person next to him tried to pull him back. It was obvious that the prince did not want to talk about the relationship between Caledor and the Phoenix King here. .

But he still relied on the strong physical fitness brought by his excellent bloodline to force himself to stand on the spot. He took the magic stone and continued to ask a sensitive question in a very urgent tone.

"In the Ulthuan Code, the Phoenix King has the power to engage in diplomacy and declare war with other races, and the colonial movement will undoubtedly have a lot of contact with other races. It may not be a good choice for Caledor to conduct it alone."

These words made the atmosphere in the lecture hall cool down. The dean who was pulled down by Elvis was even more angry and stamped his feet. This young man who had returned from two years of exchange at Lothern College was simply stunned. He usually was in the college. Forget about promoting the greatness of the Phoenix King, but ended up running in front of Imrik to do it.

Even though Imrik would have cared less, his great-grandfather Randy would not have condoned the offense.

Prince Long was stunned by this question. This man was indeed a bit stubborn. Even if you were a fool, you couldn't possibly think that you didn't have the power to declare war.

Who cares about the Phoenix King's thoughts, not to mention the political protection brought by Caledo and the three Phoenix Kings? Even if he upset the world, politically no one would dare to openly confront Caledo.

"I have to say that your way of thinking... is a bit unique." Imrik chose a word that was as tactful as possible instead of directly scolding him for being ridiculously stupid.

"I don't want to talk too much about the relationship between the Phoenix King's Court and the courts of various kingdoms, but I can give you an idea. First of all, take the arms production of Vaal Anvil before I took the throne as an example. Even under the full power of the Vaal Church, Under previous circumstances, the annual output would have been only about 21,500 units."

"Last year's output report was 46,000 sets. In the 136th year of One Piece, Caledor's financial income was 170,000 gold leaf coins, while in the 139th year, it was 500,000 gold leaf coins. Thirty thousand gold leaf coins, and once Chulong Bay is on the right track, the fiscal revenue is expected to increase by 40% within two years."

"Not to mention the large number of various commodities flowing into the country. I believe that each of you can drink wine from Itaien or Avalon, instead of the fine wine from Mr. Luoning's family winery, and the fruits from Saffron Vegetables can also be supplied in season and the price is within a reasonable range. This is a realistic and well-founded matter."

"As for the differences in political ideas between my late father and me, I don't want to discuss too much. This is not an escape, but just out of respect for the deceased. And there must be teachers in the college doing relevant research on this matter. , they will undoubtedly have a deeper understanding of the differences between Caledo in the past few years and the past. I have not signed a document prohibiting relevant political research, you can ask them."

Imrik paused and thought about his words. After all, there were so many young people in the audience, so it would not be good to directly call him a fool.

This kind of pro-Itain thought needs to be paid more attention to, and domestic ideologies must be controlled. The era of maritime trade opened by Fenubar has caused some ideological trends in Ulthuan, although Caledor is still there for the time being. I have no intention of questioning the dominance of the Dragon Tamer family, but I have to be careful.

"Obviously, Caledor cannot rely on the Phoenix Court to support the healthy development of the country. Bernard, please remember that Caledor is a country, not a warlord force. I need to consider how the country operates smoothly. Perhaps having the support of the Phoenix King would make the colony run more smoothly, but in the long run, this is not a suitable move."

Imrik bluntly pointed out the core of the problem. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Caledor is only Ulthuan's top thug. Even many people in his own country maintain this idea.

Bernard just wanted to have Caledo take down the colony and hand it over to the Phoenix King for management. Caledo would get the support of the Phoenix King, and the Phoenix King would also gain influence. The old man might agree to such a move. But I definitely can't do this, otherwise it will be a waste of time. People and money can be invested, but political influence is not enough. This is the bottom line.

The last one to do this was Nagaryth led by Malekith. As a result, all the benefits were taken away by the Phoenix King. I will not make such a mistake. The colony must listen to me, and no one can do it. .

The Dragon Prince's speech received enthusiastic applause. Young people are a group with the strongest national consciousness. They may appear blind and impulsive, but they always care about the country in their hearts and are willing to pay for it. Imrik's habit His tough attitude will capture the strong mentality of young people. We Caledo can conquer a world by ourselves!

Bernard looked a little embarrassed during the applause. Although the Dragon Prince's words were euphemistic, the meaning was clear. The Phoenix Royal Court was not qualified to interfere in Caledor's affairs, and he was also a fool in his eyes. He didn't even understand the laws of the country's operation. .

Bernard, who was born into a prominent family, sat back down. Perhaps he firmly believed that the Phoenix King was the leader who could lead Asul to glory, but in the eyes of others, he was just another poor guy who was successfully deceived by Fenuba.

"Please continue to express your opinions. I personally also like to communicate with young people. The diversity of your thinking always makes me gain a lot."

A female student raised her hand, stood up and said rather cautiously,

"Prince, can you let the students of the academy participate in the management of the colony? Although I don't want to say this, some people in Caledo are really talented in civil work, not fighting."

"According to the plan, the first group to go to Lustria will be the army, but after that..."

She thought about her choice of words for a while and said a fairly decent word.

"The humans from Kislev and the construction teams from Ulthuan will definitely be very large in number. The army needs to defend against local enemies, and it may be difficult to effectively control them."

Imric's attitude towards this little girl is undoubtedly much better than Bernard's. This sounds so pleasant to the ears, because he wants such a dedicated person.

"Of course, what I have always insisted on is that young people are the future of the kingdom. Caledo's management system does have some problems, and even I know this very well."

"In the grassroots towns, most of the managers are from the military. They are highly respected and can immediately organize the militia to protect their homes in critical moments. I am very grateful for their selfless efforts to help the sparse Dragon Palace solve many things. .”

"But once they deal with complicated official business, I think they would rather go to the battlefield to kill the enemy than lie on the desk flipping through documents."

"The colony will become a multi-racial place. Reasonable and effective management is what is urgently needed. I will ask the dean to recommend some outstanding students to go to the colony every year to do grassroots work first. If the individual is willing and performs well, , may apply to serve as officials in the colonies.”

After saying so many words, Imrik couldn't help but pick up the teapot and take a sip of water. For these students, they were perfect tool men, with dedication, energy, and loyalty to the country.

Even the grassroots managers in the country must at least have served in the military for fifty years, otherwise they will not be convincing at all, and there are many such people in Caledo.

As a result, after students come out, they can only get enough qualifications by serving in the army. However, after serving as soldiers for such a long time, they have long forgotten what they learned. Basically, the management methods are somewhat similar to military control.

Coupled with the arrogance tainted in the military and the contempt for other races, the domestic management method is not necessarily suitable for the colonies.

You have to control the general direction yourself, and it might be better to let these relatively simple students do the grassroots work in the colony.

However, when I saw so many raised hands and hopeful eyes in the audience, I couldn't help but sigh. This kind of symposium is more tiring than fighting. We are all our own people, so we have to be careful not to use bad words. You have to consider the causes and consequences when speaking, so as not to let these young people get into trouble and come up with something.

Get married as soon as possible and let Adila handle this mess. I really don't want to deal with it.
