Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 892: Occupied
When New World caused a **** storm in the transcendent world because of the last "spiritual overflow".
On the mundane level of the material world, a milestone event with far-reaching impact like a landslide and tsunami has occurred.
North of the Old World, Atlan, Kingdom of Iceland, the capital "Oslo City".
Squeak--!
Under the **** of the palace guard, a black convertible car powered by an internal combustion engine with luxurious interiors and jeweled logos slowly parked at the door of the palace chamber.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
The attendant walked down holding an elderly king who was wearing a gold crown and carrying a ruby cane.
Facts have proved that even after several improvements of the "steam and mechanical religion", steam turbines are more suitable for the development of external combustion engine power sources for railway locomotives, ships, giants and other large machinery.
In the pursuit of miniaturization and comfort in cars, engineers are more willing to adopt lightweight power units with higher power-to-volume ratio and power-to-weight ratio.
Furthermore, for the dignitaries.
Pomp and comfort are more important than technical maturity. The steam locomotives with black smoke all the way through the "gurgling" can hardly meet their needs.
In addition.
I want to put the newly-started electric vehicle on the market as a mature product on a large scale.
Whether it is chips, batteries, or power equipment infrastructure around the world, they are all major obstacles that are difficult to solve in a short time.
Therefore, internal-combustion vehicles have gradually become a standout in this field.
Especially in these years, technologies such as lead-acid batteries, internal combustion engine ignition devices, rubber pneumatic tires, spring suspensions, etc. have been conquered by technicians in the Principality of Galliot.
It is natural for them to launch a relatively mature "internal combustion engine car".
Currently, high-end customized services are still the mainstay. The factory can rely on skilled craftsmen and modern assembly halls to prepare different cars according to the buyer's requirements.
The front part of the vehicle is an engine, the rear part is a deerskin seat, decorated with gold and ivory, and a high-end sedan equipped with a clutch, a transmission and a rear drive shaft is also introduced.
What? Is subsequent maintenance expensive? The parts between the vehicles cannot be matched?
Tsk tusk, what we want is this unique, noble and luxurious tone.
If you are like others, the dignitaries are not happy!
Moreover, on the cars produced by the "Tlaloc Electric Company" of the Principality, there is also the "Gem Coat of Arms" personally designed by Her Majesty Olivia, the Duchess of Galliot, the fashion vane, and the university scholar.
It is even more attractive (price increase) a lot, and it will save you face when you open it.
Take this luxury car sold to King Harald I of Atlan as an example, it cost the royal family a full 300,000 gold, which is the sky-high price of 10,000 golden lions!
Be aware that if it were placed a few years ago, when sailing battleships ruled the sea, the money was almost enough to buy a Tier 4 battleship.
Ah, it's not a big deal anyway, nor is it to build a garden for Lafayette.
Even if there are three cars in the palace of the same level.
There are also radio transmission equipment across the Black Sea, radios, radio broadcasts, phonographs, record players, cameras, telephones... all sorts of magical creations are not a complete set.
Lack of money? Just collect taxes.
The elderly king walked up the steps with a cane, still thinking that this matter was a major event in his own good life.
‘Well, the "landscape tax" has just been levied this month (residents whose houses face the sea must pay taxes ranging from 50-100 copper per year).
Let me think about it. Next month, we will levy a "beggar tax" across the country. You must pay a golden lion tax before you can be eligible for begging in the city, hahaha...'
Harald I secretly praised that he was really a genius in tax collection, and then he entered the Chamber of Commerce briskly and sat on his throne.
Looking at the ministers who have arrived below, I once again sighed that when I am now in my age, I still have to spend half an hour working every day. I am such a good man!
Then, the Prime Minister took a step forward with joy, and offered to His Majesty the news that made him feel better:
"Your Majesty, good news, goddess, in our colony of the New World, the "Giant Cape", geologists have discovered abundant oil resources.
We can use these ‘black gold’ to further negotiate terms with Tulips. At least the high-quality steel needed by the arsenal can be solved for some time in the future. "
Hearing this, Harald I nodded approvingly:
"Well, yes, it would be better if we can get the Duchess of Galliot to set up a factory here. The complete oil industry chain in the hands of the duchess is a river flowing with gold!"
At this time, while the king was in a good mood, the foreign minister stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, how do we respond to the [Sovereign Shield] note over there?
Now more and more monarchy countries have joined it, and even the empire of Hilius, under the leadership of the regent Queen Teresa, has put aside the hatred of the past and sent a mission to actively negotiate with Tulip. ..."
However.
Without waiting for His Majesty’s reply, the Chancellor of Finance has jumped and shouted:
"Atlán has its own national conditions here. If we join the Tulip-led international organization and the civilians have not succeeded in rebelling, we must first become a vassal of the Tulip from politics, economy to the military.
The two young monarchs who are leading the tulip now are not great people. Don't you understand what they want? "
The big men present here, everyone secretly despises in their hearts:
"I think you are simply reluctant to implement the social wealth redistribution system in the "Royal Power Reform Project", right? In order to alleviate social conflicts, you must give the gold and silver that you have already got to the people.
Ah, in fact, we...reluctant. "
So as usual, this issue was naturally put on hold during the quarrel.
Obviously, the problem that Atlan has accumulated for a long time is not the problem of a certain ruler himself, but the whole ruling class has been rotten from top to bottom.
The latter is not entirely good news brought by the Secretary of Defense:
"Your Majesty, under the auspices of Ms. Cathy Moral, Chief Scientist of the Academy of Engineering.
We already have 12 ironclad ships and a full-heavy battleship comparable to the Tulip [Contained Knight], enough to defend our national defense.
But our treasury is currently..."
Although they are short-sighted and greedy, they are not stupid. In addition to maintaining a decent life for the powerful, they practice standard Songun politics. Only by using force to conquer inferiority can they maintain a life like this.
As for the "democratic torrent"? I have not heard of any kingdom with a "titled knight" being overthrown by the mob.
This is also the main reason why they are not enthusiastic about [The Shield of the Monarch], and they even have something to watch about the Hilius Empire, which has already begun to act.
Hearing what the Minister of National Defense said, the king who was on the throne waved his hand. The following words were obviously not what he wanted to hear. On the contrary, he suddenly asked the ministers a question that was irrelevant:
"What do you think of me proposing to Ms. Moral?"
A group of subjects looked at this wise and wise martial artist when he was young, but now his drunkenness is already a declining appearance, and looked at each other.
Although not many people know the true identity of that demon god, as long as they know, they are all shocked by Harald I's bold ideas.
They can't figure out whether this majesty is going to "feed demons with his body" or "have a **** for life".
"That..."
"Huh? What's the matter? Are those unruly untouchables still making noise?"
Harald I suddenly turned his head and looked out of the hall.
After a wave of extraordinary power fluctuations, the voice outside the palace suddenly became loud:
"We want to eat, we want to work!"
"Damn window tax! Fireplace tax! Landscape tax! Fat corpse tax!"
"The king, the lord, and the church are all vampires!"
The massive demonstrations have been going on for more than half a month, but the big figures in the chamber have never paid attention to their demands.
This is the root of the inferiority of those in power. Absolute power brings absolute corruption. Just like capitalists, they must eat flesh and blood.
"Step down! Step down! Step down!"
"The people of Atlan do not need a king who only collects taxes!"
"We want our own elected head of state!"
"..."
At this moment, outside the gate of the palace, there were turbulent heads, and at least 50,000 to 60,000 people gathered in several blocks nearby.
If there is no leader, this is just a mob.
But.
In order to achieve success in front of the "God of Black Wings", Tru Nimbula, the "God of Music and Opera", took the seat himself, bringing together a total of eight democratic leaders who are also third-order [politicians].
They jointly used the most basic ability-[surging public opinion] to arouse the emotions of the demonstrators and set off an earth-shattering turmoil!
Even in the "spiritual vision" observation, a roaring giant wolf phantom concealed above the city, which is a concrete manifestation of the people's consciousness and national character of this country.
True Nimbula, disguised as a mortal and as a bystander the whole time, finally exhales.
"Hahaha, this is Jizhong!
For justice and democracy (crossed out), for world peace and stability (crossed out), for the freedom and liberation of the Atlantic people (crossed out), for your land, wealth and capital trends, nice!
We are here.
My king, please return this country to your people! "
In the palace, a man who is two meters tall and naked, with long blue-black hair like needles, like a wolf like a bear, is basically a human-shaped beast, and he looks out of the palace intently.
His face is solemn, far from the carelessness of a group of powerful people.
This is the last titled knight of the Atlan Kingdom——"Bloodthirsty Hunt" Dominic~IndoMTL.com~ He is not a member of the royal family, but a genius knight who has made a strict contract with the royal family.
Since the "titled knight" can use the power of "faith", it is naturally very sensitive to this so-called "public opinion."
In Dominic’s spiritual sense, the originally scattered and disorderly public opinion has been integrated into a whole by inexplicable forces, possessing the terrifying power that threatens a fourth-order transcendent.
If these people are all nationals of other countries, that's fine, but they are all their own compatriots, and they are also the fundamental source of power that supports [Title·Bloodthirsty Hunt].
The truth that "water can carry a boat can also overturn it" is the same no matter which world you are in.
If you go out to face the turbulent public opinion at this time, you may be directly knocked down and [title] collapsed!
A drop of cold sweat gradually dripped from the "titled knight"'s forehead.
"To suffer! To suffer! To suffer!"
