The Candela imperial palace is located in due north capital Wimbledon City the center, just stands erect , is higher than on the hill of surrounding plain. 坎德拉帝国皇宫位于首都温布尔登城正北中心,刚好矗立在一座远高出周围平原的小山上。 This hill is neighbor in a big piece of flat base an only high ground, the imperial palace constructed specially big, causes the entire Wimbledon City people, so long as raised the head, can see the distant place to keep aloof, the gold coin magnificent imperial palace. 这座小山原本就是附近一大片平底中唯一的一处高地,皇宫又建得特别高大,使得全温布尔登城的子民只要一抬头,都能看到远处高高在上、金币辉煌的皇宫。 But the great Candela empire emperors, every morning in the imperial palace most conspicuous construction, is in the discussing politics main hall that the entire Candela empire government affairs core is at will also conduct toward the meeting, listens to the return of empire fellow ministers. 而伟大的坎德拉帝国皇帝陛下,都会于每天清晨在皇宫最显眼的建筑,同时也是整个坎德拉帝国政务核心所在的议政大殿里举办朝会,听取帝国各位大臣的回报。 As a rule, this toward can walk a form, achieves some great accomplishments makes some brief reports to the emperor, as for concrete processing implementation, then toward meeting the later concrete action. 通常来说,这个朝会只是走个形式,将一些大事做一些向皇帝陛下做一些简短的汇报,至于具体的处理实施,则会在朝会之后具体处理。 Therefore most times, the emperor will only sit well on the big chair, is overlooking the following minister, listens attentively with rapt attention. 所以绝大多数时候,皇帝陛下都只会端坐在高大的椅子上,俯视着下面的诸位大臣,凝神倾听而已。 However today, the honored Candela empire emperors Deboar 17 th actually stood from the big chair very rarely, the whole face anger stares under is standing in middle one middle-aged man who wears Candela empire general provincial commander the clothing. 然而今天,尊贵的坎德拉帝国皇帝陛下德波尔十七世却十分少见地从高大的椅子上站了起来,满脸怒意地盯着下面站在中间的一位身穿坎德拉帝国将军提督服装的中年男子。 „Solemn imperial navy, could not be solved unexpectedly continually by the fleet of only chamber of commerce, instead by the opposite party hitting scattered about, oneself battleship loses surpasses 70%! Duke Warner, is this imperial navy that you command? Is this empire must the imperial navies of tens of millions gold coins every year on above flower?” “堂堂帝国海军,居然被连区区一个商会的舰队都解决不了,反而被对方给打得七零八落,自身战舰损失超过70%！华纳公爵,这就是你统率的帝国海军？这就是帝国每年要在上面花上数千万金币的帝国海军？” The head that the middle-aged man lowered pressed lowers, had not actually responded. 中年男子原本就低下去的头压得更低了一些,却并没有做出回应。 Sees him to have nothing to say in reply, in the Deboar 17 th heart is angrier. 见他无言以对,德波尔十七世心中更加愤怒。 „Very good, since the empire spent several million gold coins also to raise the thing that one crowd of waste were inferior to every year, what that also did want you to make? Starting today, the imperial navy removes completely! I do not want to spend money again on your waste!” “很好,既然帝国每年花了几千万金币也只是养出一群废物都不如的东西,那还要你们做什么？从今天起,帝国海军全部撤除！我不想再把钱花在你们这些废物身上！” Hears Deboar 17 th these words. Duke Warner raised the head fiercely, in the look passed over gently and swiftly a astonishment. 听到德波尔十七世这句话。华纳公爵猛地抬起头,眼神中掠过一丝惊异。 Although empire about navy whether needs to continue to exist has held the question and argument, even military headquarters' budget to the imperial navy also reduces year after year. But the emperor had not taken a stand, therefore affects is not fatal. 虽然帝国内部关于海军是否需要继续存在一直抱有质疑和争论,甚至军部对帝国海军的预算也年年降低。但皇帝陛下一直都没有进行表态,所以影响还不致命。 But now emperor when because actually the former imperial navy faced the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce fleet on the southern sea the disastrous defeat of bitter experience flew into a rage. Even said to abolish imperial navy these words, if seized the chance to make an issue, was very likely to have the truly fatal consequence to the imperial navy. 但现在皇帝陛下却因为之前帝国海军在南部海域上面对新飞商会舰队时遭遇的惨败而大动肝火。甚至说出了废除帝国海军这句话来,那如果被人趁机做些文章的话,就极有可能对帝国海军产生真正致命的影响。 „Your majesty, does not may!” Shouted loudly these words is actually not Duke Warner, but stands in Duke Warner near right hand Candela empire minister of finance marquis Hass Terry. “陛下,万万不可！”大声喊出这句话的却不是华纳公爵,而是站在华纳公爵右手边的坎德拉帝国财政部部长哈斯特瑞侯爵。 Saw that was he jumped, was not only other ministers, Deboar 17 th is startled. 看到是他蹦了出来,不仅是其他大臣们,就连德波尔十七世都吃了一惊。 Because the imperial navy always eats up massive fiscal budgets, has almost not actually made anything to contribute. Empire Ministry of Finance that causes the responsible empire fiscal budget is always very big to the imperial navy opinion. 因为帝国海军一向吃下大量财政预算,却几乎没有做出什么贡献。导致负责帝国财政预算的帝国财政部内部一向对帝国海军意见很大。 Now emperor is in a rage to claim that must remove the imperial navy, most this/should happy should be empire Ministry of Finance is right. 现在皇帝陛下一怒之下声称要撤除帝国海军,最该高兴的就应该是帝国财政部才对。 Why does marquis Hass Terry actually jump the opposition? 为什么哈斯特瑞侯爵却跳出来反对？ Deboar 17 th looked at his one eyes bewilderedly: „Doesn't marquis Hass Terry, why may? If you today cannot say the convincing reason, that do not blame me not being impolite.” 德波尔十七世莫名其妙地看了他一眼:“哈斯特瑞侯爵,为什么万万不可？你今天要是说不出让人信服的原因,那可别怪我不客气。” Listens tone that Deboar 17 th is measuring Yin, below ministers are in the heart one cold. 听着德波尔十七世阴测测的语气,下面众位大臣都是心中一凛。 Evidently, the emperor this really lost one's temper. 看样子,皇帝陛下这回是真的动怒了。 If must touch his mildew head at this time, perhaps that really must but actually big mildew. 要是在这个时候还要触他的霉头,那恐怕真的要倒大霉。 Marquis Hass Terry wiped cold sweat on forehead, obviously at heart the pressure is also enormous. 哈斯特瑞侯爵抹了一把额头上的冷汗,显然心里压力也是极大。 However after calming down, he maintains the tranquil say/way reluctantly: „Your majesty. I do not understand regarding the matter in war, therefore I do not make the appraisal to this aspect. However as minister of finance. I hope cares about the angle that to prove from me significance that the imperial navy has.” 不过定了定神后,他还是勉强维持平静道:“陛下。对于战争方面的事情我不懂,所以我也不对这方面多做评价。但是身为财政部部长。我希望从我关心的角度来证明一下帝国海军存在的意义。” Everyone visits him very much accidentally/surprisingly. 所有人都很意外地看着他。 The imperial navy in the significance that fiscal does have? Does not eat the huge budget of empire finance several million gold coins besides every year, doesn't have the significance? 帝国海军在财政方面存在的意义？难道不是除了每年吃掉帝国财政几千万金币的庞大预算之外,就毫无意义吗？ „Oh? you said that looks.” Deboar 17 th was also brought back the curious heart similarly. “哦？你说说看。”德波尔十七世也同样被勾起了好奇之心。 „Your majesty, the imperial navy must swallow several million gold coins from the empire fiscal budget every year is not false. And these years in former several years, at least in me holding an office, basically not delivered with the practical contribution, indeed could be called not have the significance.” “陛下,帝国海军每年都要从帝国财政预算中吞掉几千万金币是不假。并且在之前数年,最起码在我任职的这些年来,基本上都是毫无产出和实际贡献,的确称得上毫无存在意义。” Hears here, surroundings numerous minister can't help it simultaneous/uniform simultaneous/uniform nods. 听到这里,周围众位大臣禁不住齐齐点头。 Then conforms to the people's the impression and appraisal to the imperial navy. 这才符合众人对帝国海军的印象和评价嘛。 „......” Marquis Hass Terry a thread of conversation revolution, the intonation also enhances suddenly slightly. „This situation actually obtained in recently these two years markedly was improved. Although I am unable to give the concrete statistics, but in two years, the pirate of empire southern sea almost went into hiding under the attack of imperial navy recently, making on the empire southern sea the marine transportation industry promote sharply. Solely is only south the empire is in three harbors under the imperial navy protection. This year until now the tax revenue of payment surpasses 7 million gold coins.” “不过……”哈斯特瑞侯爵忽然话锋一转,声调也略微提高。“这种情况在最近这两年内却获得了明显好转。虽然我无法给出具体的统计数据,但是最近两年内,帝国南部海域的海盗在帝国海军的打击下几乎销声匿迹,使得帝国南部海域上海运行业大幅提升。单单只是帝国南部处于帝国海军保护下的三座海港。今年到现在为止缴纳的税收就超过了七百万金币之多。” „7 million gold coins?” “七百万金币？” The surrounding ministers show the surprised facial expression together. 周围众位大臣齐齐露出惊讶的神情。 Although to the huge Candela empire, the tax revenues of 7 million gold coins is not anything. 虽然对于庞大的坎德拉帝国来说,七百万金币的税收根本算不上什么。 However before then. Empire Ministry of Finance has not made any report in view of the tax revenue of southern harbor, that is equivalent does not have. 但是在此之前。帝国财政部针对南方海港的税收可从来都没有做过任何报告,那就相当于没有。 But now this year is only one year. This data close to zero rises suddenly to 7 million gold coins suddenly, this was really is accidental/surprised. 可是现在今年只是一年的时间。这个接近于零的数据突然就暴涨到七百万金币,这就实在是太让人意外了。 „The tax revenue of the marine transportation obtaining?” Deboar 17 th asked. “只是从海运中获得的税收吗？”德波尔十七世问道。 „Yes.” Marquis Hass Terry nods. „The tax revenues of these 7 million gold coins, come from three marine transportation harbors tax revenues completely. Moreover the influence that therefore has by far is not only this, because of the development of marine transportation, coast of the empire south trade activity obviously obtained the enormous promotion, the payment of taxes that therefore empire south coast each city turns in this year also had the large promotion. Compared last year words, a promotion greatest city, even surpassed 300%!” “是的。”哈斯特瑞侯爵点点头。“这七百万金币的税收,完全是来自三座海运港口的税收。而且因此产生的影响远远不仅仅是这样,因为海运的发展,帝国南部沿海的商业活动明显得到了极大提升,因此今年帝国南部沿海各个城市上缴的赋税同样也有了大幅提升。相比去年的话,提升幅度最大的一座城市,甚至超过了百分之三百！” „300%? Isn't marquis Hass Terry, you cracking a joke?” A minister cannot bear asks loudly. “百分之三百？哈斯特瑞侯爵,你不是在开玩笑吧？”一名大臣忍不住高声反问道。 Deboar 17 th also frowns: „Marquis Hass Terry, this data is not cracks a joke, did you determine?” 德波尔十七世也微皱眉头:“哈斯特瑞侯爵,这个数据可不是开玩笑的,你确定？” „Yes. Your majesty. In Ministry of Finance currently has the detailed statistics, you can scrutinize momentarily. Concerns the empire finance, I do not dare to play any joke absolutely.” Marquis Hass Terry fearless say/way. “是的。陛下。财政部内现在就有详细的统计数据,您随时可以审阅。关乎帝国财政,我绝对不敢开任何玩笑。”哈斯特瑞侯爵昂然道。 Deboar 17 th nods gently. 德波尔十七世轻轻点头。 He certainly believes that marquis Hass Terry will lie at this matter. Because this is no good, moreover was pierced easily. He is impossible to be all right to take such big risk to deceive the honored emperor in the presence of everyone. 他当然相信哈斯特瑞侯爵会在这种事情上说谎。因为这没有任何好处,而且还非常容易被戳穿。他不可能没事冒这么大风险来当众欺骗尊贵的皇帝陛下。 „In other words...... because of existence of navy, eliminated the pirate of empire southern sea, making the marine transportation vigorously develop, thus causes coast of the empire south financial conditions dramatically to improve, and scope of this improvement is very exaggerating. Marquis Hass Terry, you said is this meaning is right?” Deboar 17 th asked. “也就是说……因为海军的存在,肃清了帝国南部海域的海盗,让海运蓬勃发展起来,从而导致帝国南部沿海的财政状况大幅改善,并且这个改善的幅度还很夸张。哈斯特瑞侯爵,你说的就是这个意思对吧？”德波尔十七世问道。 „Yes, your majesty.” Marquis Hass Terry sincere say/way. „If existence of imperial navy had not demonstrated any concrete significance before, then I am certain now. Because existence of imperial navy, safeguarded the vigorous development of marine transportation industry. If can strengthen the investment in this aspect, I believe that this will form a very big boost to the growth of empire finance.” “是的,陛下。”哈斯特瑞侯爵正色道。“如果说以前帝国海军的存在并没有显示出什么具体意义的话,那么现在我可以肯定。因为帝国海军的存在,保障了海运业的蓬勃发展。如果能够在这方面加强投入的话,我相信这会对帝国财政的增长形成一个非常大的助力。” „Right?” Deboar 17 th shot a look at a silent Duke Warner, suddenly asked: „Then Duke Warner, you told me, why the imperial navy did not have the means to eliminate the southern sea rampant pirates in former so many years, in the two years in can actually achieve suddenly?” “是吗？”德波尔十七世瞥了一眼沉默不语的华纳公爵,忽然问道:“那么华纳公爵,你告诉我,为什么帝国海军在之前那么多年里都没办法肃清南部海域猖獗的海盗们,这两年内却突然可以做到呢？” „Right......” “对啊……” Everyone responded enough comes, simultaneous/uniform simultaneous/uniform looked to Duke Warner. 所有人反应够来,齐齐看向华纳公爵。 However the people discovered, was asked by your majesty after this issue, Duke Warner the expression on face somewhat is unexpectedly awkward. 然而众人发现,被陛下问出这个问题后,华纳公爵脸上的表情竟然有些尴尬。 People immediately greatly strange. 众人顿时大奇。 Duke Warner's prestige and position in Candela empire is strange tall. What matter can also have to make him feel awkward? 华纳公爵在坎德拉帝国中的声望和地位都是奇高。还能有什么事情让他感到尴尬的？ „Said!” The Deboar 17 th sinking sound urged. “说！”德波尔十七世沉声催促道。 Duke Warner smiled bitterly, to the Deboar 17 World Bank a ritual, sighed: „Your majesty. The actual Shanghai army can in these two years the empire southern sea, even is the pirate of peripheral sea area cleans up completely cleanly, mainly because of the help of Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce fleet escort force......” 华纳公爵苦笑了一声,向德波尔十七世行了一礼,微叹道:“陛下。实际上海军能够在这两年内把帝国南部海域,甚至是周边海域的海盗全部清理干净,主要是因为新飞商会护卫舰队的帮助……” „Ah?” hears this answer, the surroundings ministers and Deboar 17 th somewhat are all scared. “啊？”听到这个答案,周围大臣们和德波尔十七世全都有些傻眼。 Also to be how related with this Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce? 怎么又和这个新飞商会有关？ Deboar 17 th frowns slightly. 德波尔十七世微微皱起眉头。 He suddenly discovered, because he has thought the imperial navy has the significance is too small, therefore did not care to it from the start, handles anything is not quite clear to the imperial navy. 他忽然发现,因为他一直认为帝国海军存在意义太小,所以对其压根不怎么关心,以至于对帝国海军做些什么事情都是不太清楚。 The answer of present Duke Warner giving, the change and this Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce that the imperial navy in the two years have very strong relation, even made Duke Warner say „mainly” because of the help of Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce fleet escort force. Pirate who the imperial navy can eliminate the southern sea. 从现在华纳公爵给出的答案来看,帝国海军这两年内产生的变化和这个新飞商会有着很强的联系,甚至让华纳公爵说出了“主要”是因为新飞商会护卫舰队的帮助。帝国海军才能肃清南部海域的海盗。 Judged from this point, can know the ability of this Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce fleet escort force must far exceed the imperial navy. Otherwise why imperial navy so many years could not tidy up these pirates, had the help of Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce fleet escort force to achieve. 从这一点进行判断,可以得知这个新飞商会护卫舰队的能力显然要远远超出帝国海军。不然凭什么帝国海军这么多年都收拾不了那些海盗,有了新飞商会护卫舰队的帮助就可以做到。 Again before the relation , the imperial navy that receives by the combat report that the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce respective fleet routs. Proves this inference. 再联系之前收到的帝国海军被新飞商会所属舰队击溃的战报。就更加证明这个推断。 Thinks of here, Deboar 17 th sits on the chair slowly, returned to normal, said to Duke Warner: „Duke Warner, come, introduced this Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce fleet escort force. Will the fleet of this only chamber of commerce, unexpectedly be why more solemn than the Candela imperial navy to be powerful us?” 想到这里,德波尔十七世缓缓坐回椅子上,恢复了平静,向华纳公爵道:“华纳公爵,来,介绍一下这个新飞商会护卫舰队。为什么这区区一支商会的舰队,居然会比我们堂堂坎德拉帝国海军还要强大？” Duke Warner just about to opens the mouth, nearby marquis Hass Terry inserts the tastes suddenly: „Can your majesty, make me first report to you this Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce? I want you to listen to my introduction, should understand why the fleet escort force of this Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce subordinate returned is so powerful.” 华纳公爵刚要开口,一旁的哈斯特瑞侯爵忽然插口道:“陛下,能不能让我先向您介绍一下这个新飞商会？我想只要您听完我的介绍,应该就会理解这支新飞商会下属的护卫舰队为什么回这么强大了。” Deboar 17 th knits the brows slightly, because own question was overtaken to feel that by marquis Hass Terry is not quick, but in the heart to the curiosity of Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce, made him neglect this is not quick. 德波尔十七世微微皱眉,因为自己的问话被哈斯特瑞侯爵抢了过去感到一丝不快,不过心中对新飞商会的好奇,却让他忽略了这一丝不快。 „Good, you introduced well this Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce. I must have a look but actually, this chamber of commerce has any unusual place, unexpectedly can make in our empire the most important two ministers say it.” “好吧,那你就好好介绍一下这个新飞商会。我倒要看看,这个商会到底有什么奇特的地方,居然能够让我们帝国内最重要的两位大臣都把它挂在嘴边。” Marquis Hass Terry to Deboar 17 th respectfully good a ritual, slightly hesitates, opens the mouth saying: „Your majesty,...... I have actually been seeking for one to report the Fresh Flight Chamber of Commerce good time to you, because I felt, the empire must have due attaching great importance to this chamber of commerce the line......” ( to be continued ) 哈斯特瑞侯爵向德波尔十七世恭敬地行了一礼,略一沉吟,开口道:“陛下,其实……我一直在寻找一个向您介绍新飞商会的好时机,因为我觉得,帝国必须要对这个商会有足够的重视才行……”(未完待续)
