"Do you really want to do this?"
Looking at the plan in his hand, the Grand Councilor's hands were shaking, and his eyes were full of fear as he looked at the girl with red ponytail.
"Of course, but this is just the ultimate goal. I didn't say we have to get it done right away, but this is the ultimate goal."
"But……"
Hearing Red Ponytail's answer, the Grand Councilor's voice became even more bitter.
"To abolish the nobility..."
"What?"
Hearing this, Anrietta and Louise were both shocked and looked at the red ponytail in surprise.
"Why are you doing this? SABRE?!"
"Because in order for this country to prosper, it is essential to abolish the nobility."
Red Ponytail shrugged.
"But the nobles protected their territories and their people!"
"This is their responsibility and obligation. Oh, by the way, speaking of this...it also needs to be resolved. I'll write about it later."
At this point, the red ponytail raised her chin, and the military minister turned another page, and then...
“Cancel the feudal system!?”
Seeing this, the Grand Councilor was stunned.
"That's right. Abolish feudal fiefdoms and strengthen central power. Improve the central institutions, weaken the power of local lords, ensure that the central government leads the army, and appoint and dismiss officials by the highest ruling body. The feudal system has no future. If we don't get rid of it, the country will be doomed."
Red Ponytail did not intend to implement communism or democratic centralism in one step. She was not Wang Mang. The nature of society was determined by productivity and production relations. With the current level of production development materials in the Middle Ages, all her efforts were castles in the air.
In Red Ponytail's view, this world would be just the Western Zhou Dynasty in China, so she would first build the Great Qin Dynasty, learn from Qin Shihuang to abolish the feudal system and establish the county system, and she could deal with the rest later.
After all, Rome wasn't built in a day.
“This…this…”
Hearing this, Anrietta and Louise were also shocked.
"But, how can we protect this country without the help of the nobles?"
"Of course I rely on the commoners. And what's the use of the nobles? Are all the nobles you rely on useful now?"
Red Ponytail folded her arms and squinted her eyes at Anrietta.
"Let's not talk about the distant past. Just take the attack by those idiots from Albion a few days ago. Apart from your central royal guards, which other lord came to protect the king?"
"this……"
Hearing Red Ponytail's question, Anrietta was speechless for a moment.
"After all, it happened suddenly..."
"hehe."
"But Lord God's Envoy, commoners... I admit that what you said makes sense, but let's be honest, commoners really cannot assume the responsibilities of nobles."
"Nonsense, the educational capital of both parties is different, how can it be the same? I'm not an idiot, how could I not have thought of it?"
Facing the words of the military minister, Red Ponytail rolled her eyes. She certainly understood what the military minister meant. Most of the civilians in this world were illiterate, and those who could read and calculate were considered upper-middle class. The lower-class civilians were basically all illiterate, and Red Ponytail was not stupid. If these civilians who could not even read a single word were allowed to manage the country, it would definitely be a mess.
“It’s also written later.”
"It's written at the back... Let me see..."
The Grand Councilor took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, turned the page again, and then...
"Building a school?"
"That's right. Build schools and force all children of school age to attend school. At least let them learn the simplest calculations and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Conduct unified examinations, and those with excellent results can be promoted to positions."
"That's true, but there aren't that many vacancies...?"
"We are about to go to war with Albion. If we take this opportunity to get rid of those people who are just waiting to die, won't the vacancy be created?"
“But in terms of funding…”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the money, you just need to be responsible for the land and personnel recruitment."
Although there is no CIA and FBI in this world, didn't Albion go to war with Tristan? There are so many nobles in Albion, so they can just fleece them.
There's nothing to be afraid of with just this little money.
"Of course, these are not the main points. These things take time, and I don't expect to get it done tomorrow just because I give the order today."
"So, what else do you have to advise me?"
At this moment, the military minister was convinced by Red Ponytail. As an important official of the country, he certainly hoped that the country would become better and stronger. To be honest, every proposal made by Red Ponytail was very bold, and even at first glance it was simply shocking and incomprehensible. But after thinking about it carefully, it was found that these proposals could indeed generate new energy for the country.
More importantly, this envoy of God did not aim too high, but had a very clear understanding of what should be done and when. It was true that Anrietta was a good princess, but she often failed to distinguish between the important and the urgent, which was why the military minister was in charge of government affairs.
If it had been left to Anrietta to handle, I'm afraid Toristine would have died long before today.
"The most important thing at the moment is to control the army. As the saying goes, power comes from the barrel of a gun. An emperor without an army is just a puppet. Not to mention, Toristin's fleet suffered a devastating blow before..."
"yes……"
Hearing this, the Minister of Military Affairs nodded in agreement. He understood what Red Ponytail meant. That air fleet was the only weapon of the royal family, but it was completely annihilated by Albion. In fact, when he heard the news, he immediately began to worry about how the royal family would lead the lords of various places in the future.
But at that time, Anrietta was still mourning for the soldiers who died in the battle... In fact, even now, she has not thought about this issue.
But the Grand Councilor knew very well that if this problem was not solved, even if Albion was eventually defeated, the division of the Toristin royal family would be imminent.
The wolf king without fangs is nothing more than bait in the eyes of the wolves.
"Then, I have something to give you..."
As she spoke, Red Ponytail giggled and waved to the Grand Councilor, who hurriedly came to Red Ponytail and bent down. Then Red Ponytail whispered a few words in his ear. The Grand Councilor nodded involuntarily, then frowned.
“But we don’t have that much right now…”
"Don't worry about it, leave it to me."
"Then I'll follow your arrangements."
Watching the two people whispering, Anrietta and Louise looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what they were up to.
Soon, the day passed.
With the temporary end of the war, a grand parade and celebration ceremony were held in the royal city.
But for those soldiers, this had nothing to do with them.
“This is the last piece!”
Putting the charred metal plate in his hand heavily on the ground, a soldier stood up, pounded his waist, and sighed helplessly.
"Really? What on earth are they thinking? What's the point of having us search the entire grassland for the wreckage of those warships?"
"Who knows? This is an order from above, and we just have to obey. No matter what, this is a great victory."
At this point, another soldier kicked hard at the armor plate next to him that had the Albion flag reflected on it, and spat at it.
"You bastards from Albion, you didn't expect that we have the blessing of the dragon!!"
“Hahahahaha!!”
Hearing this, the soldiers around laughed out loud. They had all participated in the previous defense of the royal city, so they naturally knew very well what had happened at that time.
"I still remember the expressions of those Albion bastards. One of the nobles was so scared that he collapsed on his horse and couldn't get off. I dragged him off the horse but he didn't react. It was only after I slapped him a few times that he regained some consciousness!"
"Your story is pretty good. My story was ridiculous. Those Albion soldiers came up and hugged my thighs, as if I could save their lives..."
"Served them right! Those idiots, it's too late now that they know how powerful I am!"
“That’s right, that’s right!!”
"But that dragon is really powerful. To be honest, I have hardly slept these past few days. As soon as I close my eyes, I think of that dragon..."
"Yeah, I really don't know where it came from. We have never heard of such a thing before."
"I heard that it was summoned by Her Royal Highness the Princess. It's a messenger from another world?"
“Is this true?”
"That's what everyone says. Who knows... But I saw it with my own eyes. Such a huge dragon actually turned into a tiny girl!"
"Ah, I saw that too..."
“Beep, beep, beep!!!”
While everyone was talking, a whistle suddenly sounded, and the soldiers immediately took action and lined up neatly. After a while, they saw a bright red steel eagle descending from the sky.
"It is the vehicle of the Lord God's Messenger."
Seeing this, several soldiers whispered to each other. Most people knew everything about Red Ponytail these days, even though there were many true and false news. But everyone knew that the envoy of God had a flying iron war eagle that could turn into a puppet.
Soon, the cockpit was seen opening, and Red Ponytail was the first to jump out, followed by the Grand Councilor who rolled out and collapsed on the ground.
"How do you feel, sir?"
"I, I'd better ride in a carriage from now on, Lord God's Messenger..."
It was entirely thanks to his good upbringing and self-control that the Grand Councilor did not vomit. He did not dare to speak until now after getting off the plane. However, as soon as he spoke, his self-control was immediately ruined and he vomited with a loud "wow".
"Ah...it turns out that I'm not suitable for stimulation when I'm old."
Looking at the Grand Councilor who was lying on the ground crying, Red Ponytail shook her head and then gave him a holy light.
"Thank you, thank you, angel of God. It's just a small matter. Thank you for your trouble..."
"It's all right."
Red Ponytail waved her hand, then turned her head and looked at the soldiers lined up in the distance.
"They are the ones?"
"Yes, all in accordance with your requests and instructions. Those selected are all loyal to the crown. Most of them are low-ranking officers. Their loyalty is unquestionable."
"That's good."
Hearing this, Red Ponytail nodded, then she walked up to the soldiers and waved.
"Hello, comrades!"
“…”
Hearing what Red Ponytail said, Toristin's soldiers looked at each other in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
Is she talking to us? How should we respond?
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades!"
“…”
"Ahem, Lord God's Messenger, what are you doing?"
Looking at the embarrassing scene in front of him, the Grand Councilor, who had recovered his breath, hurried over and grabbed the red ponytail.
"Nothing, I just think the ideological construction of the army cannot be relaxed..."
"Why?"
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later, let's get down to business first."
Having said this, Red Ponytail turned around and winked at the Military Minister, who also took a breath and looked at the soldiers in front of him.
"You all should know that just a few days ago, Albion tore up the treaty and launched an attack on us, Toristin!"
The Grand Councilor's voice was very serious, full of anger and seriousness, and when the soldiers heard his words, they couldn't help but stand up straight.
"They invaded our country, killed our people, and waged war against us! Can we tolerate this? No! We will not tolerate this! We will make Albion pay the price and let them know the anger of us Toristians! Let them taste the bitter wine they brewed themselves!"
Having said this, the Grand Councilor took a breath and his voice became calm.
"And I have appointed you as vanguards. From today on, you are part of the Royal Fleet!"
“——!!”
Hearing the words of the Grand Councilor, the soldiers immediately showed excited expressions. However, at this moment, a team leader in front raised his hand hesitantly.
"Sir, but I heard that our fleet has been completely destroyed?"
"Yes, that's true."
The Grand Councilor nodded, and everyone was shocked when they heard this.
What's the point of joining the Royal Fleet without warships?
"But this is not a problem, because the Lord of God is here to help us solve this problem."
Having said that, the Grand Councilor took a step back and let Red Ponytail stand out.
"I'm counting on you, Lord God's Messenger."
"Yeah, simple."
Hearing the words of the Grand Councilor, Red Ponytail nodded, then she looked at the wreckage of the warships not far away and snapped her fingers lightly.
Then - a scene that no one could have imagined appeared.
I saw the wreckage that had crashed to the ground began to float up rapidly, as if rewinding and reassembling together. Soon, the originally scattered warships were reassembled in full view of everyone, and soon they looked brand new!
“This, this is…!”
Everyone was stunned when they saw the brand new flying battleship in front of them.
Is there any such operation?
