[The strongest country is the Holy Hiran Empire, right]

——The people on this continent say so.

...

Among so many countries on this continent, the four empires are recognized as the strongest four countries. Any one of the four empires can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. This kind of national power will affect the rest. For a small country, it is unimaginable.

And which of these four empires is the strongest?

"There is no doubt that it must be the Holy Hiran Empire!"

——You can find someone on the street who knows a little bit about the international situation, they will definitely say the same.

The Holy Hiran Empire has the largest territory in the entire continent, bordering the sea on the west and the steppes of the Far East on the east. At the same time it borders the Britannia Empire, the Frankish Empire, the steppes of the Far East, and the sea to the west.

It is the only country on this continent with a population of over 100 million.

Even the Britannia Empire, which had just annexed a quarter of the Rollin Empire and 30% of its population, was still far less than the Holy Hiran Empire in terms of area and population.

At the same time, the Holy Hiran Empire is also the only country with a standing army of more than one million.

Even though the national power of the Holy Hiran Empire has declined compared with the past, it still has a standing army of more than one million.

At the same time, the huge country bordering the sea to the west and the prairie of the Far East, with a population of more than 100 million, and a standing army of more than one million...

Holy Hiran Empire-a veritable 【【Superpower】】! !

In order to guard against this behemoth in the north, the Britannia Empire established the [Northern Border].

One-third of the territory of the Britannia Empire is in the hands of the nobles in the territory, and the other two-thirds of the territory is in the hands of the emperor.

The two-thirds of the land that was in the hands of the emperor was under the administration of counties and districts, under the jurisdiction of counties.

The highest official of the county is the county guard, and the highest official of the district is the district order, both of which are directly appointed by the emperor.

In order to guard against the Holy Hiran Empire in the north, 50 years ago, the central Britannia empire integrated the northern counties of Glamorgan, Highland, Shrawley, Tiwa, Boyan, Chefok, The eight counties of Farside County and Audland County established the northern border. And established the official post of "Governor of the Northern Territory".

The above-mentioned 8 counties are also called "the eight northern counties".

The purpose of integrating these 8 counties in the north into the northern border is to improve the administrative efficiency of the north, and to integrate and use all the resources of the north most effectively, so as to resist the giant sacred Hiran Empire in the north.

The northern part of the Britannia Empire also became the empire's only three-level administrative management area of ​​territory, county, and district.

The Governor of the North, who controls the 8 counties, has also become the local official with the greatest power in the Britannia Empire.

In the center of the Britannia Empire, the officials with the greatest power and the highest status are undoubtedly the officials responsible for assisting the emperor in governing.

In the place of the Britannia Empire, the official with the greatest power and the highest status is undoubtedly the Governor of the North in charge of the North.

At this time, Jacob, the highest palace magistrate in the center of the Britannia Empire, and Humphrey, the governor of the North, who holds the most power in the place, were having a secret conversation in a secret room in Jacob's mansion... …

...

"Sit down, Humphrey."

Jacob, sitting at the small round table, made a "please" gesture.

"Your favorite Bailing black tea, I have already made it for you."

On the small round table, there are two tea cups filled with warm black tea, and there is already a teapot.

Humphrey closed the door, walked slowly to the opposite side of Jacob, and after sitting opposite to Jacob, he picked up a teacup and put it on his nose and smelled it.

"Yeah. Not bad."

There was a smile on Humphrey's wrinkled face.

"This tea is pretty good."

"Of course, this is the finest Bailing black tea I have specially bought."

After that, Jacob picked up a teacup placed in front of him and began to drink softly.

At this time, Humphrey also handed the tea cup to his lips, and softly drank the black tea in the cup with Jacob.

The two did not start talking immediately, but first drank black tea together in silence.

After the two of them drank black tea silently like this, and didn't know how long they drank it, Humphrey took the lead to put down the teacup in his hand and broke the silence and said:

"It's the 18th today... The day after tomorrow, it will be the beginning of the round table meeting. Heh, I really don't know how long this meeting will take..."

All round table meetings in history have long and short meetings.

The shortest time, it was opened in less than 2 days. The longest time, it took a full 10 days to end.

As soon as Humphrey finished speaking, Jacob also put down the teacup in his hand and said solemnly:

"This round table meeting has a lot of discussions and is very important. This round table meeting is very likely to be the most important and significant round table meeting in the history of our Britannia Empire! The results of the discussion at this meeting will at least affect the world's trends in the next 10 years!"

"Is it the most important..." Humphrey chuckled softly, "It's true... After all, this roundtable will discuss three great things."

After that, Humphrey took out three large wads of paper from his arms.

The covers of these three large stacks of paper read:

[Reconstruction plan of the Michael Knights].

[Form the 4th Knight Order].

【Knights Military Reform】.

Looking at the cover of these three large stacks of paper~lightnovelpub.net~ Humphrey whispered:

"This roundtable meeting mainly discussed these three major issues...Each one is related to the military. It seems that the military will become the focus of the empire's future development..."

"Well. Yes." Jacob said, "Our empire must now strengthen its military power. The current international situation is still extremely unfavorable to us. We must further strengthen our military power to better protect us."

"Yes..." Humphrey sighed and then said in a relieved tone, "However, fortunately, the'Xia Feng' offensive was defeated and dealt a heavy blow to the Rollin Empire. Now the Rollin Empire The national strength has been greatly damaged, and the state of war with us has been lifted. In the next ten years, there will be no major storms in the south."

"Yeah." Jacob's face remained solemn, "The victory of the'Spring Awakening' offensive and the'Xia Feng' offensive successfully allowed our empire to remove the threat from the south. However, the international situation of our empire is still very dangerous."

"The Frankish Empire in the east is still in a state of immortality with us, and the Holy Hiran Empire in the north, although at peace with us now, is still eyeing our empire...We still can't relax."

"That's right..." Humphrey's face appeared tired, and he squeezed the bridge of his nose, "Jacob, all right, this is the end of the chat, come here for a secret meeting. What is the purpose? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Hearing this greeting from Humphrey, Jacob was silent for a while.

Jacob was silent, picked up the teacup that had not yet been drunk, and drank the remaining tea in one breath, then said in a deep voice:

"I asked you to come over to talk to you about the new commander of the Michael Knights I chose..."
