v3 Chapter 637: Gold Bridge Silver Road Iron House Diamo
"Charles is making big news again!"
From Hedou Dagger in the forging Holy Land to Victoria in the White Gold Tree Palace, from Nicholas II in Abyss City to Leif in Weilong Mountain, all the bigwigs are pinching their brows or rubbing their temples. If you give birth to beat this, you will die if you don't make big news.
However, this kid gave enough money, so the bigwigs sent the competent officers that Charles needed to Catania City.
In the past few days, everyone from nobles to commoners in Catania has been a little flustered.
It took only half a day that Earl McGarden wanted to build a bridge in the eastern river valley for Catania City, and everyone was very curious about what kind of bridge the legendary earl wanted to build.
The mountains and forests around the city of Catania are rich in monster resources, but the surrounding mountain roads are difficult to travel, and the freight for transporting the goods takes up a lot of cost, making the products here uncompetitive.
For nearly a hundred years, many people have planned to build bridges over the river valley to connect the road to Jialei Town to save transportation costs, but the river valley is deep and the current is fast, and those attempts have failed.
People are curious what kind of bridge Earl McGarden will build for everyone.
These days, any news about Charles can spread quickly in the city.
That afternoon, Charles rented a manor in the northern suburbs of the city from the Marquis of Malan, saying it was the office of the "Charles Bridge Project Department".
The nobles in the city all know that it is the largest manor under the name of Marquis Malan, and many people have gone there to attend the banquet held by Marquis Malan.
The next morning, people in the city looked up at the sky from time to time, because all kinds of dragons flew through the sky every so often.
It's not that people in the city haven't seen the world. Recently, the old men will buy elves from time to time and let the dragon deliver them.
But so many dragons flew to the manor in the north, and some still didn't leave, which made people extremely curious.
Charles, who has been reincarnated as a project manager, has been very busy recently. He managed to coordinate the great gods invited by all parties, and established the engineering and technology department, material procurement department, quality management department, finance department and logistics department. Managers, technicians, material staff, quality staff, surveyors, construction staff and data staff and other personnel.
After straightening out the personnel of the project department and the responsibilities of each department, Charles held the first general meeting. In addition to all the staff of the project department, King Antoine II of the Bischberg Kingdom and the Marquis of Marin, the city lord of Catania, also attended.
Charles made such a big battle, and there are several dragons coming. It is strange that Antoine II can still sit still. The current lineup is enough for Linda to enter the palace.
There were no polite words at the beginning of the meeting, and Charles directly moved out the 1:100 iron chain bridge model made in the past two days.
The bridge site selected at the initial stage has a span of about 200 meters, which is twice the length of the Luding Bridge. The two-meter-long model allows people to intuitively feel the grandeur of this chain bridge.
Antoine II was a little surprised. He said to the Marquis of Malin, who was sitting beside him: "Is this possible?"
"We can build it without him."
Marquis Malan has been staying here for a few days, and has been listening to the disputes between elves, dwarves, dragons and humans in the engineering and technical department that was first established, and roughly understands the difficulty of building this bridge.
He said to the king: "We can't build it. The most difficult part of this bridge is not the iron cables, but the places where the iron locks are fixed at both ends. A little carelessness will lead to the collapse of the whole bridge."
"They did a lot of calculations for the bridge, and honestly, I didn't understand what they were talking about other than the numbers."
Antoine II said to the old brother narrowly: "We wrote your math homework for you back then."
Marquis Malan smiled, then sighed, thinking of another old brother who was arrested a few days ago.
Knowing what the Marquis was thinking, Antoine II said: "He is very ill, but he has gone the wrong way."
"I let him enjoy it for three days."
Marquis of Malan just nodded slightly and understood what the king meant.
At this time, Charles, who had just introduced the chain bridge, came up with a new trick. He took out a few parts and inserted them next to the model of the chain bridge, and then formed a zip line.
The zipline is a preliminary project planned by Charles. On the one hand, it is convenient for the staff to travel between the two sides of the river valley, and it can also be used by the businessmen in Catania to make some money for the project department.
Now the products of Antoine II and the Marquis of Marin have become serious. Compared with the iron chain bridge with a huge amount of work, although the zip line is not efficient, it is relatively simple. If it can be popularized in the mountainous Bischberg Kingdom Come, it can undoubtedly promote the speed of logistics.
Antoine II wore a lot of rings on his hands, he inspired one of them, and a layer of enchantment enveloped him and the Marquis of Maran, making it impossible for outsiders to hear their conversations or see their mouths. .
Antoine II said, "Do you still support that boy Louis?"
Marquis Malan smiled bitterly. Louis had the support of a few of them behind Linda's pursuit. Otherwise, how could there be wild boars and bears that would threaten Linda that day and create conditions for Louis to be a hero to save beauty.
The only frontier nobles in the Bischberg Kingdom who supported Louis were the few frontier nobles to the east who faced the Duke of Redkin. They had been frightened by the Dukes of Redkin for decades.
Although Charles is the grandson of Duke Redkin, in terms of eliminating the military threat to the east, the relationship between the grandson and the grandson is not very secure.
If Louis married Linda and gave birth to an heir before the current king died, Duke Redkin's energies would be drawn to domestic politics, and even civil war would break out, so that the Marquis of Maran and the others could sit back and relax.
At the same time, the Marquis of Malan is also worried about the hatred between Charles and Allen. This heavy relationship makes these old nobles who do not stand between the heirs of the throne have scruples about Charles.
But now, the development of the situation is more and more favorable to Charles. He has the wool textile industry and the domestic transportation shackles with one hand, and will surely win the support of more and more people.
Unlike the court aristocrats who only have money bags in their eyes and the local aristocrats who own one-third of an acre of land, the Marquis of Malan and the other nobles who are the king's confidants have thought more long-term. They even thought about the possibility of changing the royal family's surname to McGarden.
Marquis Malan was silent for a while, then said, "I'm getting old, and now I just want to finish building this bridge, and then go back to the territory and train those **** to be stronger."
Antoine II heard that he was no longer involved in the succession of the throne and prepared to retire, and then said with emotion: "We are all old."
"I rummaged through the history books a while ago and found that I couldn't learn from the wisdom of my old friends to deal with the current situation."
"It seems that we will face changes that have not been seen in thousands of years, and it will be up to those young people in the future."
At this time, Marquis Maran frowned and asked, "What are your plans on the Demon Race side? It's not too long to count. We used to bet on Allen, but now it seems that he can't pass Charles. It's over."
Antoine II's face darkened. Allen was his son anyway, but he did everything he could.
He originally thought that he would send Allen to the Temple of Light for five years of hard labor, and then come back after the McGarden family tragedy had subsided, and things would be much easier to deal with.
But no one thought that Charles had soared into the sky in the past few years, making the McGarden family's political and economic influence on several levels.
Not long ago, the matter of the "Four Emperors Making the Staff" has been heard among the high-level officials of various countries. None of the kings thought that they could invite so many popes to make weapons for themselves. They didn't know that they had counted one less. Pope from the west.
When talking about Charles now, it is inevitable to mention his family affairs, and the heat of that tragedy cannot be reduced.
Antoine II said: "Allen can only rely on himself for this."
"Fortunately, the army he left behind has taken shape, and it will be ready to be pulled out next year."
Marquis Malan narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that we will be able to suffer a lot from the demons."
As a result, Antoine II shook his head, motioned the Marquis to look towards Charles, and said, "Did you see the man in the wheelchair next to Charles?"
The Marquis of Malan looked over and asked, "Who is he?"
Antoine II said, "Hehe", "He is Alexei, head of the Cardinals of the Temple of Harvest and Forging of the Demon Race. He has been very close to the dwarves a few years ago."
"The saint of the dwarves and a cardinal were injured in a way that had something to do with him."
The Marquis of Malin almost stood up, but was pinned down by Antoine II.
Antoine II said calmly: "I think it's not just him. I'm afraid there are many demons among those who came to help Charles."
"The relationship between the elves, dragons and demons has always been good. Charles seems to rely on them to get on the line."
Marquis Maran frowned and asked, "You just look at it like that?"
Antoine II nodded ~lightnovelpub.net~ and said, "After the visit of Your Excellency Nezario that year, I was thinking about whether the kindness released by the demons was real."
"You can communicate with him privately during this time. If they really like peace, we can talk to the neighbors in the north."
Marquis Malan's expression became more serious.
Yu Gong, killing the kingdom of Feilingen in the north, and monopolizing the forest and sea resources of the northern land is of great benefit to the Kingdom of Bischberg.
Yu Si, he has a son who is with the military. Compared to fighting with the demons, he can only loot a lot. Fighting the Kingdom of Villingen can occupy its land and expand the family territory. It seems that the risks are less and the benefits are greater.
He nodded and said solemnly: "I see, I will have a good talk with him."
Antoine II also nodded slightly. National decision-making needs sufficient intelligence support, and now what he needs is to obtain more intelligence.
When Charles finished the overview of the entire project and arranged the next steps, Antoine II also set a general direction for the country's next policy.
