EmpireEmperorLuitpoldwears the shiningplatinumnecklace, wears the magnificentpurplevelvetcoat, proudstepped into the meeting hall.帝国皇帝路易伯德戴着金灿灿的白金项链,身穿华丽的紫色天鹅绒外套,一脸骄傲的踏进了议事厅内。Marienburgmunicipal administrationofficerRemmerSverker, Nordlandelect the emperorto waitTheodericandOstlandto elect the emperorto waitMaximilianandMiddenlandto elect the emperorto waitTodBullinger, Ostermarkto elect the emperorto waitWolfframand the othersto set outto saluteimmediately.玛丽恩堡市政官范雷默斯维克、诺德领选帝候狄奥多里克、奥斯特领选帝候马克西米安、米登领选帝候托德布林格、奥斯特马克选帝候沃尔弗拉姆等人立即起身致敬。Emperorwears the friendlysmileto return a courtesytotheirone by one. However, whoknows,thislogic of warandEmperoroneselftoohave not been connected. The Reiklandarmyafter the campaignendedarrives in the cityharbor. Ifsaid that Emperormerit, mostforewarnsahead of time, was deliveringMarienburgsomecommoditiesafter the war. Yes, that is all. Buthisfunction, evenwas inferior that has satin the corner, northernLord that did not speakcameimportantly. At least, isRodleads the northernallied armies, at crucial momentsrouted the Norscanmorale. At least, isRod, ahead of timeat least the twomoon/month, sounds the early warningtoEmpire. Regrettably, heis not the Empireperson, does not elect the emperorto wait, is notLordandaristocrat, is unable to organize the Empirearmy.皇帝戴着友好的笑容向他们一一回礼。然而,谁都知道,这场战争的结果与皇帝本人并没有太多关联。瑞克领的军队在战役结束后才抵达城市港口。若是说皇帝的功劳,最多就是提前预警,然后将一些物资在战后送达了玛丽恩堡而已。是的,仅此而已。而他的作用,甚至不如那个一直坐在角落里,默不吭声的北方领主来得重要。至少,是罗德带领北方联军,在关键时刻击溃了诺斯卡人的士气。至少,是罗德,提前至少两个月,向帝国发出预警。最可惜的是,他并不是帝国人,不是选帝候,亦不是领主、贵族,无法组织帝国的军队。However, throughthiscampaign, the northernthreeprovinces, the Marienburgpersonhas the brand-new understanding of thisLordfromKislev.
然而,通过这场战役,北方三省,还有玛丽恩堡的人已经对这位来自基斯里夫的领主有了全新的认识。Althoughat this moment, the numerouselect the emperorto waitas in front ofEmperorpolite, butwhocan look, thisis the etiquette, un, is the etiquette...... looks likeNordlandto elect the emperorto waitTheodericthisesteeming martial artsproudLordmerely, to have despisedto the Emperorpossibleheart. Howeverno onesaid. Empireallpolitical activitiesareso, time and time againfalseperformance.
尽管此时此刻,众选帝候依旧在皇帝面前客客气气的,但是谁都看得出来,这不过是礼仪,嗯,仅仅是礼仪……像诺德领选帝候狄奥多里克这种尚武骄傲的领主,对皇帝可能内心深处已是鄙夷。但是谁都不说出来。帝国所有的政治活动都是如此,一次次虚伪的表演而已。Rodmoved the position, with the aim ofseeing clearly the situation in conference site. Here everyone is drawing a face, it is no doubt that the post-warinterest distributionissuewill become an inevitabledifficult problem. Yes, regardingBrettoniaandpresentKislev, thisis notwhatissue, butregardingEmpire, thisindeedis a difficult problem.罗德挪了挪位置,以便看清会场上的形势。这里每个人都拉着一张脸,不用说,战后的利益分配问题又将成为一个不可避免的难题。是的,对于巴托尼亚和现在的基斯里夫来说,这可不算什么问题,但是对于帝国来说,这的确是一个难题。IprotectedMarienburg, protectedEmpirecapitalAltdorf. TheodericandWolfframare possibly thinkingat this momentat heartlike this.
我又保护了玛丽恩堡,又保护了帝国首府阿尔道夫呢。狄奥多里克和沃尔弗拉姆可能此刻心里正在这样想着。„Thankyourarrival, Emperoryour excellency. The barbarianscaused the cannot erasedamagetoourhomelands. However, Ithink,throughourjoint efforts, thesewoundswill be levelledslowly. The farmershave returned to the villageone after another, the tradealsostartto restoregradually.”
“感谢你的到来,皇帝阁下。野蛮人对我们的家园造成了不可磨灭的伤害。但是,我想,通过我们的共同努力,这些伤口会慢慢被填平。农夫已经陆续返回乡村,贸易也逐步开始恢复了。”Marienburgmunicipal administrationofficerRemmerSverkertalked aboutin a low voice.玛丽恩堡市政官范雷默斯维克低声讲到。Hiswordsare the prologue, however, even the word of smalltalk, stillnoidle talk. We who in the spoken languagementioned, meaningwas profound. The formerrefers toMarienburgoneself, but the latter, actuallyrefers to the Empirewhole. The implication, MarienburgrestorationworkEmperoryoumustsupport......
他的话就是开场白,然而,即便是客套之词,也没有一句废话。言语中提到的我们,意味深刻。前者指的是玛丽恩堡自己,而后者,却指的是帝国整体。言外之意,玛丽恩堡的恢复工作皇帝你必须支持啊……Rodhearmeaning, butas the outsider, oneselfmaynot needto mess about. RegardingEmpire, Rodwasgives up. A person, exactlysaid, a bystander, is unable to change a hugecountry. Let aloneitfrom the startis not a country. Butis that manysmallKingdomcomposebigKingdom that is similarto the federal government. BrettoniaKingandKislevTzarstillhad the real power, butEmpireEmperor, hehe......罗德听出了其中的含义,但是作为局外人,自己可没有必要瞎掺和。对于帝国,罗德算是放弃了。一个人,确切的说,一个外人,根本无法改变一个庞大的国家。更何况它压根就不是一个国家。而是许许多多小王国组成的一个类似于联邦政府的大王国。巴托尼亚国王、基斯里夫沙皇尚有实权,而帝国皇帝,呵呵……„Iwill make the Altdorftradechamber of commercecarry out, in the past three months, reduces various merchandise tradestariffs, torestoreroutetrade. Moreover, tohelpMarienburgwent through the difficulty, Ican the assemblinggraindeliverycityharbor.”
“我会让阿尔道夫的贸易商会执行下去,近三个月内,减免各类商品贸易的关税,以恢复航道贸易。另外,为了帮助玛丽恩堡度过难关,我会凑集粮食送达城市港口的。”Emperorpledged.皇帝承诺到。„That was really thanksyou.”
“那真是太感谢您了。”RemmerSverkerpraisedloudly. Naturally, in fact, Marienburgis notcalculation that he alonesaid. In the bigMarienburgsurfacehas the Municipal Senior Official, the bigjudgeandbigchief prosecutorsuchposition. Butin fact the operation and real power of citygraspinseveralrespected familyhands, severalrespected familiesare in powertogether, joint administrationthiscity. RemmerSverkerwas electedformanagerandspokesman. Hisevery word and deedhas drawn upbeforehand. Just likingto raise the linepuppetto be the same.
范雷默斯维克高声赞美到。当然,事实上,玛丽恩堡也不是他一个人说的算。偌大的玛丽恩堡表面上有市政长官、大司法官、大检察长这样的职位。但实际上城市的运作和实权掌握在几大家族手里,几个大家族共同掌权,共同管理着这座城市。范雷默斯维克不过是被推选出来的代管理者和代言人罢了。他的一言一行早已是事先拟定好的。犹如提线木偶一般。„A goodnews to tellyou.”
“还有一个好消息要告诉你。”Emperorthenspoke of——皇帝接着说到——„EngineersfromAltdorfalready, incatching upto comeonhereroad, it is expected thatoneweeklater will then arrive inMarienburg. Thiscityneedsto be reinforced, needfirmercity wallandmightbiggerartillery. Thinks that the cannon that ifdefended a cityinitiallycanbomb and sink the fleet of barbarianin the city walldirectly, did not haveafterwardso manyterrible business. Alsowill not causehundreds and thousands ofEmpirepeopleto bleed the sacrifice.”
“来自阿尔道夫的工程师们已经在赶来这里的路上,预计一周后便会抵达玛丽恩堡。这座城市需要被加固,需要更坚固的城墙和威力更大的火炮。想想吧,如果当初守城的大炮可以直接在城墙上轰沉野蛮人的舰队,也就没有后来这么多麻烦事了。也不会造成成百上千的帝国人流血牺牲。”„Thank......”
“感谢……”RemmerSverkerrespondedin a low voice. Canbe able to hear, thanked the intonationto be differenttwice, the volumewas also different. In fact, reduces the tariff, the grain and fodderprovide reliefstheseindeedisMarienburgneedsat present. The aristocrats and officialsdo not lack the grain and commodity, but the civilianslack. The managers in thiscitystupidlytowill not care about the feeling of civilians, howtheycannotmake the civilianscause troubleagain. Therefore, commodity that EmperorgrantedregardingMarienburg, wasveryimportant.
范雷默斯维克低声回应到。可以听得出,前后两次感谢语调不同,音量也不同。事实上,减免关税,粮草救济这些的确是玛丽恩堡眼前所需要的。贵族和官员们不缺粮食和物资,但是平民们缺。这座城市的管理者们不会傻到不顾及平民的感受,他们再怎么样也不能让平民起来闹事。所以,皇帝允诺的物资对于玛丽恩堡来说,还是十分重要的。
...... Is the category of doing businessas fortheseengineers who the lattersaid. The ghostsknow the engineers who thesecatch up withtravel-wornare the Emperorsubordinates, doesn't have the goal of getting rich? The city wallreinforcement of Marienburg, can definitely be completedbyMarienburgartisanoneself, but the timeneedsfor a long time. Howeverin the short term, will not have the secondlarge-scaleBarbarianinvasion. Therefore, the longpointis long, no matter. At least, thismoneycannotgainto the bystander. However the Emperorgood intentionis not goodto reject.
至于后者说的那些工程师……就属于做生意的范畴了。鬼知道这些风尘仆仆赶来的工程师们是不是皇帝的手下,不是带着发财的目的来的?玛丽恩堡的城墙加固,完全可以由玛丽恩堡的工匠自己完成,只不过时间需要久一点。但是短期看来,也不会有第二次大规模的蛮族入侵。所以,久一点就久一点吧,也无所谓。至少,这钱不能给外人赚了去。但是皇帝的好意又不好拒绝。
...... The motivewas more obviousas for the matter of artillery. Marienburghas been separated fromEmpirea long time, the Empireaspectis impossibleto provide the munitionsunconditionallyto the citydefenders, then, strengthens the matter of city defense works, does not cometo the goal of arms trade, forwhat? Everyoneis well aware, actuallydoes not expose, because the support of Emperorissojustifiable......
至于火炮的事……动机就更明显了。玛丽恩堡已经脱离帝国很长一段时间了,帝国方面绝不可能无条件提供军火给城市防御者们,那么,加强城防工事的事,不是冲着军火贸易的目的而来,又是为了什么?所有人都心知肚明,却不点破,因为皇帝的支援是如此名正言顺……„Speaking ofthanks, RemmerSverkeris should also underthankswe? The officers who Nordland, OstlandandOstermarkgetsacrificedmuchforthiswar. Cannotmake the officersbleedandburst into tears. Right?”
“说到感谢,雷默斯维克是不是也应该感谢下我们?诺德领、奥斯特领和奥斯特马克领的将士们为这场战争可是牺牲不少。不能让将士们流血又流泪。对吧?”Nordlandelects the emperorto waitTheodericto snatch the topicto speak. Althoughis only the normalspeech, however the Theodericbigvoicemakes the atmospherequitesomewhatawkward.诺德领选帝候狄奥多里克抢过话题说到。虽然只是正常的说话,但是狄奥多里克的大嗓门却让现场气氛颇有几分尴尬。Naturally, Rodalsolistened to the Theodericwordswords——to demand the subsidization. The allied armies of northernthreeprovincescatch upto supportfrom afar, does not give for nothing. Marienburgdoes not belong toEmpire, thisbenevolence can only tradewith the nakedmoney. Rodsomewhattaunted, at this moment, even ifMarienburgstillbelonged toEmpire, perhapsthis„benevolence”mustdraw cashto tradeas before, butsowill not be direct.
当然,罗德也听出了狄奥多里克的话中话——索要资助。北方三省的联军千里迢迢赶来支援,并不是白给的。玛丽恩堡已经不属于帝国,这份恩情只能拿赤裸裸的金钱来换。只是罗德有些嘲讽,此时此刻,就算玛丽恩堡依旧属于帝国,恐怕这份“恩情”依旧要拿钱来换,只不过不会这么直接而已。As the Marienburgspokesman, RemmerSverkernaturallyalsolistened. Hehas not given the answerimmediately. Butrevealsfacelaughter——
作为玛丽恩堡的代言人,范雷默斯维克自然也听出来了。只是,他并没有马上给出答案。而是露出一脸嬉笑——„Thatisnatural. The Marienburgpeoplethanked the support of Empireregiment. Thisbenevolencewewill never forget.”
“那是自然。玛丽恩堡人民感谢帝国军团的支援。这份恩情我们永远不会忘记。”Theodericalmostoncrack, butasked the bottomto takehow muchmoneyto come. Howeverelects the emperorto waitasone, hecannotbe so uncouthlyanddirect.狄奥多里克差点就破口而出问到底拿多少钱来。但是作为一名选帝候,他可不能这么粗鲁和直接。„Weset up the monumentfor the martyr and hero, will take downthisdark inkserious woundinchildren'sbooks.”
“我们会为烈士和英雄立纪念碑,会在孩子们的书本上记下这浓墨重彩的一笔。”RemmerSweicontinuessensationalspeaking. No onecared abouthimto speaktheseidle talk. Actuallyhas tocoordinatehim, listening tohimto read.
范雷默斯维继续煽情的说到。只是,没有人在意他说这些废话。却不得不配合他,听他念完。
