Outside the glass window of the club's coffee room is Cotman's bustling Sunset Boulevard. At this time, the afterglow of the sun shines, and the skyscrapers and palm olive trees on both sides of the street form a strange landscape.
The club was called the Royal Hunters Club during the imperial period. It was originally a gathering place for some nobles who liked to hunt on the Lily River hundreds of years ago. It has not changed its name to this day, but it has gradually evolved into a modern celebrity club.
The coffee here has a strange strong aroma, I don’t know what it is mixed with. Lu Ming and Yin Lisabai were sitting at the window seats.
Today is Yin Lishabai's treat. The troops are about to go to the front line. Before that, Yin Lishabai invites Lu Ming to come to this most exclusive club in Cotman. She is about to embark on a journey to bid farewell to the past leisure life. It is also the last time to experience peace. It's not easy.
Yin Lisabai wore a snow-white lace dress, a beautiful and cute hat decorated with red flowers was placed aside, and her blond hair was styled into an extremely elegant and delicate hairstyle, making her look very peaceful and noble.
Alice is high above, an angel princess from heaven, but the girl in front of her is more like a princess from the human kingdom.
"Does the coffee I ordered for you suit your taste?" Yin Lisabai was extremely polite not only to Lu Ming, but also to any ordinary soldier.
Lu Ming smiled: "It's pretty good." Yin Lisa's white and blue eyes flashed with a hint of relief, and then said: "There are also horse riding and hunting grounds here. If you don't like it, there are also swimming pools and tennis courts." Lu Ming Smiling: "I always wonder about the custom of hunting by the nobles of the imperial capital. Is it really interesting to kill for fun?" Yin Lisabai nodded lightly: "I don't like it either, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Black Mountain Castle, that is, My uncle said something similar to yours when he was interviewed by the newsprint in the imperial capital." There is no word for uncle in the language of Grifenni. The transliteration of Zhongzhou she used clearly shows that she has studied this issue and is very thoughtful.
More or less, it depends on how she treats herself
"Uncle", looking very curious. Lu Ming smiled: "According to seniority, you have to call me uncle, but you can also call me uncle." Yin Lisabai looked at him in surprise: "Uncle?" Lu Ming said with a smile: "Yes, my wife, you You can also call me aunt, and speaking from my wife, you can call me uncle."
"Okay." Yin Lisabai nodded gently without going into detail, and then said, "Uncle, how do you think your brother, His Highness the Prince, would reply to my father's letter?" Lu Ming was startled: "You mean? "Yin Lisabai smiled lightly,
"My uncle seems to know the contents of the secret letter." Lu Ming smiled, picked up the coffee cup, and
"Let's just drink coffee and not talk about this."
"Okay!" Yin Lisabai has a very docile temperament, and since the other party is an elder, she is even more obedient. ...among the blue clouds of Shili Villa.
This is the highest peak in the Shili Mountains. From the study window, you can see white clouds filling the air in the distance, and green welcoming pines fluttering beside the huge rocks.
In the study, Lu Ming looked at the secret letter written by William V. In the letter, William V promised to commit to the existence of the Northern Kingdom, but the premise was that the Northern Kingdom would also recognize the legitimacy of his emperor in the future.
Obviously, the victory of Bailton and the horrific performance of Montenegrin volunteers and their armed forces made William V re-examine this ally of his.
In fact, before the war began, the Kingdom of Sonia had wooed the Principality of Montenegro to its side on the condition of recognizing the independence of the Northern Kingdom.
Naturally, these cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the William V Group. It's just that at that time, the William V Group had not yet faced up to the power of the Northern Territory, but now everything is different.
When the two powers compete for hegemony, even if the third pole's strength gap is somewhat larger than that of the two powers, once it joins the battle, it will break the balance between the two powers.
In particular, it is obvious that the Kingdom of Sonia is now much more powerful than the Kingdom of Grifenni. It seems difficult for the William V Group to counterattack the Imperial Capital relying solely on its own strength. Winning over all neutral parties has become a top priority.
The Principality of Montenegro clearly has the power to change the balance of the war and is the weaker third pole. Therefore, there is this personal letter written by William V.
Lu Ming is also thinking about his current power. In fact, in terms of population and vast territory, the influence of the Principality of Montenegro has exceeded that of the Kingdom of Sonia.
Not counting the Western Regions, there are more than 30 Sonia states with a population of nearly 400 million. As for the Principality of Montenegro itself, it has a population of almost 250 million.
However, including Ren Zhonglin, Sun Gan, Han Renwang, Qi Huaide, Miao Baifeng and other allies or vassals in the Montenegrin Treaty Organization, the population is almost 400 million.
If the Japanese are added in, the total population affected by the Principality of Montenegro will be about 500 million. Of course, from wealth to industrialization, the area that I influence is completely incomparable to the Sonia Kingdom.
But in any case, it is really not appropriate for the Principality of Montenegro to continue to be a principality. How can there be a principality with a population of hundreds of millions?
Now, it is indeed an opportunity. After thinking about it, Lu Ming picked up the phone and dialed Bi Zhu's number.
...In front of the Bailton Bridge, many soldiers stood at the bridge's head, with the long steel bridge behind them as their backs, leaving behind the image here.
Three divisions of the First Army arrived at Bailton, including the 2nd Motorized Brigade. The Bailton Bridge has become a photo spot. The first thing many soldiers do when they come to Bailton is to take photos with the bridge.
A green jeep parked at the end of the bridge. When they saw the people getting out of the car, the soldiers who were taking a group photo consciously dispersed and stood next to it.
A man and a woman came down. The man was in a dark green major general uniform, looking dashing, and the woman was wearing a snow-white civilian skirt, which was sexy and beautiful.
The two came to the bridge monument, and a soldier took a group photo of them. Lu Ming felt helpless, but this little girl kept calling her uncle to come here to take a photo with him, so he couldn't throw cold water on her.
"Ah, uncle, my father has sent a telegram!" Yin Lisabai saw from a distance that a combat officer drove nearby, got out of the car and gestured.
Lu Ming nodded and walked towards his jeep. After a while, Yin Lisabai ran over and got in the car and gave the telegram to Lu Ming.
"My other uncle agreed to my father's conditions. You should have known about it in advance, right?" In fact, Lu Ming also gradually felt that Yin Lisabai regarded himself as a similar person to her, a member of the royal family. The internal information is also clear, so there will be no taboos about military matters. For this circle, everything is just like ordinary chatter.
Of course Lu Ming knew how he called back, but he still picked it up and took a look.
"Uncle Heishanbao's call back was different from the conditions proposed by my father. He said that if the majority of the citizens of the empire approved, he would support my father's claim to be the emperor of the empire." Yin Lisabai chuckled: "Uncle, you Zhongzhou There are so many people around." Lu Ming smiled and said, "Your father sent you a report as soon as possible. Is this to train you to be your successor?" In fact, Lisa Bai Yin also has an older brother who works as Cabinet Secretary. He was trained everywhere. Originally, the outside world thought that the eldest son was the successor.
Yin Lisabai shook her head: "No, but I miss my little aunt very much. I really want to know about things in the Northern Territory as soon as possible. With my father's consent, if anything happens, I will be informed as soon as possible. ." Lu Ming nodded, it seems that William V also loved this daughter very much.
I also thought about what the future would be like as I was about to ascend the throne in Shengjing and establish a country. Turning his head to look at the long white clouds on the horizon, he felt a little expectant and warm in his heart, but there was also a hint of uncertainty about the unknown.
