Chapter 399 I want to control all the troops in the world!
Chapter 399 I want to control all the troops in the world!
Coming to the stone conference hall, Russell saw George VII with a serious expression and Apache beside him with an expressionless face.
Russell was not surprised by their attitude.
It would be more accurate to say that the fact that George VII did not have a Sima face was somewhat beyond his expectations.
As for Apache.
Anyone who suddenly finds himself with a powerful enemy will have the same expression.
"Sir Russell, you're here." Seeing Russell, George VII nodded in greeting and then motioned him to sit down.
There was no further back-and-forth, and the king went straight to the point of asking the most important question of this meeting: "It's been three days, Mr. Luo, have you decided what you want?"
[I want to control all the troops in the world! ]
Facing the king's question, Russell suddenly recalled the words of the most powerful carbon-based creature of the seventh century. Of course, he would never say this to George VII, and even if he did, the other party would definitely not agree.
After all, Great Britain is still a bit far away from the Ming Dynasty.
The premise is that there is no [Pillar of Light].
With the existence of the Pillar of Light, the whole of Great Britain is at Russell's disposal.
But before he could reply, George VII continued, "Forget it, both of you take a look at the materials you need first."
As he spoke, he handed an index catalog to Russell and the other two.
Seeing this, Russell patiently looked through the material atlas in his hand. He currently needed materials that could be adapted to [Tornado] and [Sacred Blade Armor].
I have to say that the index of Great Britain was very thoughtful, and Russell quickly found the materials he needed.
However, just like the material libraries of Ming Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, Great Britain is unable to directly collect all the materials.
Fortunately, Russell still had 67% of the [universal materials] left to use, and it would be barely enough if he used some diamond-level materials to make up for it.
[Telekinetic Superman] (red), [Ω-level Psychic] (red), [Andesos's Time Bracelet] (red), [Voice of the Fallen] (red), [Smoke Barrier Sword] (red), and the other five more common master-level materials.
These are the materials Russell selected.
On the other side, Apache quickly selected the materials he needed.
He put down the index in his hand and said in a flat tone, "That's all. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying this, the master-level strongman of the Indo-American Federation disappeared in the conference hall.
In fact, he wanted to stay and listen to the subsequent negotiations between Russell and George VII, but unfortunately neither of them would allow him to do so.
After Apache left, the conference room fell into an eerie silence.
Russell continued to look through the documents in his hand without saying a word.
His behavior undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on George VII. After a long silence, the king sighed and said helplessly: "Just tell me what you want, Mr. Luo."
Hearing this, Russell put down the information in his hand, crossed his arms and imitated a certain commander: "I want all of Great Britain."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly dropped to freezing point.
George VII's expression became increasingly stiff until it finally turned into indifference.
After a long silence, the King of Great Britain said in a hoarse voice, "Luo Qing, please don't make such jokes."
"You think I'm kidding?"
Russell asked back immediately.
He did not think that what he said was something far-fetched. After all, in terms of strength, Great Britain was not as good as Ming Dynasty. In addition, Altria's [Pillar of Light] was still firmly nailed on the opponent's territory.
To be honest, this is much more terrible than mold.
And George VII obviously understood this.
He closed his eyes, and after a long while, he said with great difficulty: "The most Great Britain can give you, Luo Qing, is the position of Duke of Protector of the Country."
"."
Faced with the conditions proposed by George VII, Russell frowned slightly.
The position of Lord Protector of Great Britain combines legislative, executive and military powers, and is effectively an uncrowned king.
The last person to hold this position was Cromwell, whom everyone who has attended nine years of compulsory education should have heard of.
Thinking of this, Russell said with a sigh and a mockery: "I didn't expect His Majesty to be so generous."
George VII had a good plan indeed.
Although the position of Duke of Protector sounds very powerful, that was only when the royal party lost power.
Now that the British royal family is at its peak, the title of Protector of the Realm is just a title.
"not enough."
Hearing Russell's calm voice, George VII picked up the tea in front of him and moistened his very dry mouth: "If Charlotte agrees to your conditions, I can agree to them too."
Russell was not surprised that the king knew what he had talked about with Charlotte that day.
Compared to Leon who was a little confused about the situation, the princess's ability to judge the situation was undoubtedly much stronger.
She did win the support of Russell and Apache, but she also did not forget that it was George VII who was in charge of Great Britain now, so it was not surprising that she told George VII about the content of her conversation with Russell.
Russell smiled, then shook his head slightly: "Sharing materials is good for everyone."
"How can your majesty take this as a reward?"
"not enough."
George VII's face gradually became ugly.
Fortunately, Russell didn't make things difficult for him for long, and immediately stated his conditions: "How about this, Great Britain pays a certain amount of materials to Ming every year, which will be regarded as the reward for my cards to be stationed here, how about it?"
Isn’t it reasonable that the host country needs to pay the military expenses of the stationed troops?
Moreover, Russell is different from a certain lighthouse. If Great Britain lost Altria's [Pillar of Light], it would really be destroyed.
He is not taking advantage of the situation.
After a long silence, George VII nodded reluctantly: "Then let's do as Mr. Luo said."
As the King of Great Britain, George VII never imagined that Great Britain, with its colonies all over the world, would one day be colonized by others.
Although Russell did not say so, this was the truth in his mind.
But when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and George VII really had no choice.
After getting the result he wanted, Russell did not stay long, turned around and left the conference room.
For him, the gains from this trip to Great Britain have exceeded his expectations, and in some ways it really fits what Bai Yueming said about "opening up new frontiers".
But as soon as Russell left the palace, Leon came to him.
He looked at the Prince of Great Britain and asked casually, "What's the matter?"
Facing his question, Leon couldn't help scratching his head, and then asked awkwardly: "Russell, I heard that His Majesty wants to make you the Duke of Protector of the Country."
"Did you agree?"
Russell nodded when he heard this. There was no point in hiding this kind of thing. It would probably be known to all of Great Britain in a few days. Seeing this, Leon suddenly brightened up: "Then you..."
“Leon, you should learn more from your sister and shouldn’t come to see me now.”
Russell interrupted him and said helplessly.
The young man didn't know why the other person was so stupid now when he had seemed so smart when they first met.
Is it true that the position of king has gone to his head?
George VII obviously did not want outside powers interfering in Great Britain, and Russell naturally fell into this category.
Therefore, anyone who had too much contact with Russell would probably be blacklisted by George VII.
Charlotte obviously realized this, which is why she didn't come to find Russell.
Although in Russell's opinion, there is no possibility that Her Royal Highness the Princess will be chosen as the crown prince.
After hearing Russell's words, Leon's face turned pale instantly, and then he said in a lost voice: "Russell, did you choose her too?"
Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Russell immediately lost his temper, waved his hand, and asked the ghost soldiers to take him out.
After seeing Leon off, Russell turned to look at Altria on the side: "What's going on with the Apache?"
Because of the existence of the [Pillar of Light], Artoria is now able to monitor everything that happens on this land.
The place where Apache lives is no exception.
"After sending the message two days ago, he has not taken any action."
Hearing this, Russell thought a lot in his mind.
It goes without saying who the Apache was sending the message to; it must have been Adley.
But based on Russell's previous speculation, it is not known whether the other party will come.
"What a pity. Artoria needs to maintain the [Pillar of Light] here. Otherwise, we could have tried it out."
Russell sighed silently in his heart. His original plan was to test Adley's attitude after the matter was over, but now it seems impossible.
"Let's go back to Daming and improve our strength first."
Thinking of this, Russell touched his chin and looked at Altria with a strange look: "Do you need me to make the Knights of the Round Table to help you?"
The blond lion king was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting his owner to ask this.
After a moment's silence, she said calmly, "If it doesn't add to your burden."
Russell didn't seem to care about her words. After all, a bunch of emerald-level and at most diamond-level cards were not a burden to him at all.
Three days passed quickly.
A lot of things happened in Great Britain during these three days. First of all, the impact caused by [World-Devouring Disaster] had basically subsided, and the ordinary people who were still alive returned to their previous boring lives.
Secondly, all Britons knew that a master-level warrior from the East had taken up the position of Lord Protector of their country.
This is undoubtedly the first time in British history.
But soon after knowing that the Tower of Light was the work of this Oriental man, all the criticisms disappeared without a trace.
However, the British government did not say that the owner of this glorious tower was the legendary King Arthur.
Russell could understand this, after all, the other party was trying every means to weaken his influence.
But as long as the [Pillar of Light] exists, Russell's influence in Great Britain will not fade, but will only become stronger.
port.
King George VII was seeing off Russell and Apache with a group of princes and princesses and British officials.
With a false smile on his face, he said in a relaxed tone: "Then I wish you a safe journey, Sir Apache."
After seeing off the Apache, George VII looked at Russell standing aside.
"How is Luo Qing going to get back?"
Just like when he came here, Russell was naturally prepared to let Spider-Man take him back to Ming Dynasty.
Although the comfort level is not as high as that of the Apache's flagship, it is convenient and fast.
Seeing him summon the white humanoid spider, George VII couldn't help but feel relieved.
The king was really afraid that Russell would just stay and not leave.
However, if Russell knew what he was thinking, he would probably just sneer at him. After all, Great Britain cannot compare with the Ming Dynasty in any aspect.
Although he was eager for Russell to leave, George VII was still very polite: "Have a safe trip, Mr. Luo. If the Ming Dynasty needs help, you can contact Great Britain at any time."
Hearing this, Russell nodded slightly, then glanced at Leon and Charlotte beside him, and then said: "Then I'll leave. If you have anything, you can contact me through Altria."
Upon hearing this, George VII's face darkened.
The young man's words once again reminded George VII that even if he was sent away, Great Britain would never be able to return to its previous state.
But Russell didn't care what George VII thought. After looking around at everyone present, he disappeared in a flash.
Seeing this, the officials present felt relieved and thought to themselves.
"Finally, we have sent this Duke of Protector of the Country away."
To be frank, Russell puts more pressure on them than their own King.
At this time, Charlotte in the crowd sighed silently in her heart.
If the invasion by the mastermind had not happened, she would not be far from the position of crown prince, but it is hard to say at the moment.
"Your Majesty should have begun to be wary of me."
Thinking of this, Charlotte's eyes flickered. Since her father's approach was no longer feasible, she might as well turn completely to the Duke of Protectorate.
Of course, the premise is that he doesn't let his father find out.
Not knowing that he had become the center of the Great British vortex, or even if he knew, he didn't care. Russell sat on Spider-Man's back and let her continue using space magic.
Just as Spider-Girl set foot on the land of Europa, a gray-haired figure appeared in front of Russell.
Seeing the person coming, Russell said helplessly: "His Majesty Louis XXIV"
That’s right, the person who came was the Emperor of France, Louis XXIV.
After blocking Russell, the [Near God] said gently, "What do you think, Mr. Luo?"
"Want to talk to me?"
Hearing this, Russell couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
The other party has blocked him, does he still have room to refuse?
"Lead the way, Your Majesty. I also want to see the legendary Palace of Versailles."
"Haha, I will definitely not let you down, Luo Qing."
As soon as Louis 24 finished speaking, the two of them disappeared from the spot, leaving only the sound of waves in the air.
