A small wad of papers for each person that Bancroft just handed out was about the rough governance plan for the newly laid down territory of the original Luolin Empire.

"For this large piece of new territory." Bancroft continued to say, "We intend to divide it into 12 counties and exempt these 12 new counties from the one-year tax."

"Tax exemption for 1 year?" an older nobleman frowned and asked, "Do you want to exempt taxes for so long?"

"That's right." Bancroft nodded, "Thanks to the'credit' of the fool queen of the Rollin Empire, the lives of the citizens of the Rollin Empire are becoming increasingly difficult."

"The reason why we want to exempt the new territories from taxes for one year is to win the hearts and minds of the old citizens of the Rollin Empire, so that they can feel that living in our Britannia Empire is far more than living in the Rolling Empire. Be happy."

"Therefore, by exempting the new territory from taxes for one year, in the long run, the benefits obtained are immeasurable."

"Not only that, we will also send additional staff to these 12 newly established counties to teach our new nationals Breton and moderately suppress the culture of the Rollin Empire on the new territory. Slowly conquer them materially, and conquer them spiritually, so that they will turn to our Britannia empire from the body to the spirit."

...

Regarding how to thoroughly conquer this newly smashed territory, Gozewen specially organized a research team led by Bancro to conduct research.

Bancroft spoke concisely and concisely about the policy drawn up by his colleagues and intended to be implemented in this large new territory.

The participants sitting around the round table nodded earnestly while listening to Bancro's narration.

In the final voting session, the governance plan for the new territories was passed unanimously.

After seeing the unanimous approval of the governance plan he was leading the research, Bancro couldn't help showing a bit of joy.

"Well, now that the discussion on the new territorial governance plan is over, it's time for us to get into the topic of this round table."

Go Zewen, who had just been leaning on the back of his chair, had not said anything about it. After passing the new territorial governance plan unanimously, he straightened up slowly and continued to say in a deep voice:

"In this roundtable meeting, I intend to discuss with you the plan to expand our military power!"

"I plan to expand the military power of my Britannia Empire to the point where I won't lose even if I go to war with the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frank Empire at the same time!"

As soon as Ge Zewen's words fell, the entire royal meeting room immediately became noisy.

The participants sitting at the round table whispered to each other in amazement.

"Will you lose the war with the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish Empire at the same time..." Ithel said with a wry smile, "It's really difficult..."

"Yes." Albert said to the side, "If we want to fight with the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frank Empire at the same time without losing, then the strength of our Knights must at least expand to more than 800,000... …"

When everyone in the conference room was whispering, Ge Zewen raised his hand and pressed it in mid-air.

Seeing Ge Zewen's gesture, the conference room gradually became quiet.

"Although we have now dealt a heavy blow to the Luo Lin Empire, the southern part of the empire will no longer be threatened in the next ten years, but our situation is still not optimistic."

Ge Zewen's expression was very serious.

"Can't we rely on diplomatic means to ease the critical international situation in our empire?" a middle-aged nobleman asked with a frown.

"It's a pity that we tried diplomacy a long time ago." Bancroft smiled helplessly. "Everyone should also know the relationship between our empire and the Frankish empire now? We Britannia. The relationship between the empire and the Frank empire has long been unending, and there is no way to ease the relationship with the Frank empire by diplomatic means."

As soon as Bancroft's words fell, everyone at the round table nodded calmly.

Anyone who knows a little bit about the international situation knows the relationship between the Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire.

The state of war between the two countries has lasted for hundreds of years, that is, the two countries have fought for hundreds of years.

People of all countries in the world call this long war between the Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire the "Hundred Years War."

Between the two countries, the situation of endless death has long been reached.

At present, there are only two ways to achieve peace between the Britannia Empire and the Frank Empire.

One, the Britannia Empire completely defeated and destroyed the Frank Empire. Second, the Frankish Empire completely defeated and destroyed the Britannia Empire.

And Bancroft’s speech continued:

"As for the Holy Hiran Empire, diplomatic methods have almost no effect."

"No matter how hard we try, the Holy Hiran Empire still looks at our Britannia Empire."

"According to the intelligence sent back from the spy door lurking in the Holy Hiran Empire~lightnovelpub.net~The Holy Hiran Empire seems to have recently sent its cargo to the southwest front."

"In other words, the Holy Hiran Empire is very likely to tear up the armistice agreement again and attack us again..."

Bancroft's words made the atmosphere of the entire conference room suddenly heavy.

Both Issel and Albert also had the same solemn faces.

Both of them knew that the situation in their empire was still not optimistic, but they did not expect to be so not optimistic.

Diplomatic means no longer play any role, and in the future it is very likely to face the attack of the two empires...

Just thinking about this situation, I feel terrible.

In this meeting room, when surrounded by an atmosphere called "silence", Gozewen's old voice broke the current silence:

"After listening to Bancroft's speech just now, I think everyone should have a certain understanding of the current bad situation in our empire."

"Since there is no way to protect us with the tongue, we can only protect us with the sword!"

"We want to further strengthen our military power!"

"So, I decided to form the 4th Knight Order! And rebuild the Michael Knight Order!"

As soon as Ge Zewen’s words fell, the entire conference room remained silent for a few seconds, and then—

"Form the 4th Knight Order?!"

"Rebuild Michael?!"

"Your Majesty! Do we have so much money?"

"Your Majesty! The Michael Knights defended the North, the Gabriel Knights defended the East, and the Rachel Knights defended the South. Then where will the newly formed Knights be deployed?"

...

——The whole meeting room "exploded" in an instant.
