Chapter 543 A rare period of stable development
After discussing the process of handling refugees, John returned to his office, where there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
The past two years have been a rare period of peace for John.
Since the country's independence, although problems of one kind or another have arisen from time to time, they have always been properly resolved.
Various policies have also been effectively implemented at the local level, and the country is gradually getting back on track.
The new technology from the Napoleonic era came like a strong spring breeze, bringing a huge impact to this medieval world.
Production efficiency has been greatly improved, output has increased significantly, and the cost of living for the country's residents has also been reduced.
The tasks that once required a lot of manpower and time to complete have now become efficient and convenient with the help of new technologies.
Military technology has also made significant progress. Some legions have begun to be equipped with flintlock rifles and new artillery. These advanced weapons and equipment have given Helmingen's army greater combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
However, John knew in his heart that the peace was only temporary. Chaos such as the Eclipse were still waiting for him in the future.
He was still unable to determine how much damage the weapons of the Napoleonic era could cause to the Apostles. After all, he had not received any reports of sightings of the Apostles from the Black Watch mercenary groups in his country or abroad in the past two years.
He could only attribute it to the fact that the world had not yet reached the Moment of Eclipse, so the Apostles did not explode in this world. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why few people in the original comics had heard of rumors about monsters in this world.
Now, John's only way to obtain magic is to pin his hopes on Total War: Warhammer 3, and all he needs now is a Behelet to activate it.
After we have this Total War, combined with today's technology, let alone the Hand of God, at least the Apostles should be easily dealt with, so that the country will not be without a response strategy after the Netherworld merges with reality.
At the same time, John also ordered the research institute to continue to develop new technologies.
He suddenly discovered that as long as he came into contact with the corresponding affairs, this mysterious system would assign him the task of obtaining a total war in the corresponding era.
When he first came to this world, the system gave him a medieval total war mission based on the background of this world; later, when he encountered gunpowder, he obtained an htb with many gunpowder weapons.
As for why the common people in the territory wanted to establish a country, and the system issued the newly acquired Napoleon Total War, John guessed that it might be because it triggered an epoch-making change in nationalism and the previous feudal society.
This made him wonder, if he had more high-tech stuff on his side, would that trigger a more high-tech total war, such as the World War I sub-mod of Napoleon's Total War.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just as John was immersed in his own thoughts, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Please come in."
John pulled back his thoughts and responded.
The door was pushed open quickly, and Karl rushed in like a gust of wind, then threw himself into John's arms.
"Karl, what do you want to talk to Dad about?"
John asked gently, reaching out to gently stroke Carl's head.
"Dad, please sign this."
Carl took out a piece of paper and handed it to John.
John took the paper, took a look at it, and saw "Military Academy Graduation Volunteer Assignment" written on it.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that time passed so quickly. He still remembered the scenes of playing at home when he was a child, as well as many memories of his past life.
But now, his son is about to graduate from school, although he is not yet 12 years old.
"So where do you want to be assigned?"
John continued to ask, he was not surprised by this voluntary allocation because he was the one who proposed this system.
Generally, military academy applications are divided into local provinces, other provinces, and border areas.
The province is the most comfortable choice, as the environment is familiar and life is convenient; going to other provinces for experience can broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge; and the border areas are the most difficult, as there are wars all around and there are military risks.
"Dad, I want to go to the border."
Karl said nervously, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and expectation.
"All of my classmates signed up this way. I think this is the only way I can be considered a qualified soldier in the future."
After hearing this, John felt relieved and proud. He touched Carl's head and compared it with the second generation of noble insects outside, his son did not seem to have those bad habits, but dared to face difficulties.
This is much better than most of the noble descendants in Midlan and Yoda.
"Karl, you have to think it over."
John looked at Karl seriously and said earnestly.
"The environment outside is much more difficult than Helmingen. Mom and Dad are not around, and you may not see us for several months. Can you take care of yourself when you are alone and do not reveal your true identity?"
"Sure dad."
Carl answered without hesitation.
"And I'm not alone, I have my classmates too."
John looked at Carl's determined eyes and felt very relieved. He knew that his son would make such a choice one day, just like when he was sixteen years old and joined the army for the first time and left his hometown alone.
"Okay, I agree then."
John said with a smile.
"Remember to tell your mother, don't let her worry when the time comes."
……
At night, the lights in the principal's office of the Military Academy affiliated to the Invalides were dim.
The principal sat at his desk, looking through the students' volunteer applications one by one under the light of a kerosene lamp. His brows were furrowed and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Oh, this is difficult."
When the principal saw Carl's application, he couldn't help but sigh.
Even if Carl hid himself well and made a new identity document, based on his appearance and name, which was also Carl, the principal was sure that this was the crown prince of His Majesty the King.
What’s more, he had seen him several times before when he was awarded medals, and he was almost scared when he saw Karl at school once.
"Although it is a good thing for the country to have such a brave crown prince."
The principal muttered to himself.
“But it is indeed a difficulty for me at the moment.”
He knew very well that if the crown prince went to the border area and was attacked by ignorant foreign troops, if the crown prince unfortunately died, the country would have no heir.
This was an extremely serious issue and he dared not be careless in the slightest.
He originally wanted to send Carl to Beigang in the Forest Territory, where public security was good and infrastructure was complete, the environment was beautiful, life was comfortable, and there was no threat of war.
But when I thought about the king's agreement, it meant that the king wanted to give the crown prince some experience.
Therefore, you should ultimately choose a border area that appears dangerous but where the local security is relatively stable.
After thinking it over, the principal picked up a pen and wrote under Carl's volunteer destination:
"Dole City, Central Bank Province".
