Restarting the myth.

Chapter 297: Solid as a rock, unbreakable, the advantage is mine

"At this solemn moment, perhaps the most vital in our nation's history, I appeal to every citizen..."

"The vast majority of us will face a second war!"

"We have repeatedly sought to resolve disputes between countries through peaceful means, but all in vain..."

“We must accept this challenge!”

"We will face a difficult period, and the war is not limited to the front line..."

"We pray sincerely here. As long as everyone holds justice in their hearts and has firm faith, we will surely win with God's help!"

On TV, Queen Sophia's speech was full of ups and downs. She first expressed the helplessness of the coming of war and the country's efforts, then criticized the evil Prussia and the evil head of state, and finally called on the people to unite and defeat evil and win.

Victory will surely belong to Windsor!

clap clap clap!
After watching the speech, Wayne immediately stood up and responded to the call by applauding passionately. He looked so impulsive as if he would join the army in the next second.

However, it does not.

He clapped for two minutes to show respect, and after completing the process, he changed his face in a second, turned around and said to Auston: "There is going to be a war. Do we have enough supplies? Will our business be affected?"

"My business won't be, and your business will be gone."

"..."

The Landau family is extremely wealthy. In addition to opening a bank and monopolizing the bill exchange business, they have also invested in many real estate, military industry, and people's livelihood industries.

The country's war machine was activated, and the Landau family, as one of the Tulip families, was the first to suffer severe challenges and could no longer make money like before.

The Queen gave the Tulip family the power to monopolize all industries, and now it is the Tulip family's turn to spit it out.

For example, Lando's military and civilian industries, all of these factories suspended their original orders and turned their full firepower to the strategic materials needed by the country.

During the war, nylon stockings were not a necessity of life and all production was halted. The precious raw materials were used to produce military supplies, military uniforms, tents, parachutes, etc.

In other words, Wayne’s way of making money was gone, and he had to find another way to make a living if he wanted to support his family.

"Damn it, I hate war!"

Wayne shook his head helplessly. He had expected this day long ago and was not surprised. He then said, "Fortunately, I had prepared in advance and asked the teacher's company to stock up a large amount of stockings, and then put them on the market in batches using the hunger marketing method. Although the sales volume has dropped, the unit price has increased. Rounding off has also saved labor costs, which does not affect my profit."

Auston rolled his eyes. The heir was so outstanding that it would be a good choice to choose him.

The suspension of production of nylon stockings was only part of the impact of the war. What really upset Auston was that he was not in London in August. Because he could not be contacted, many blames were put on him.

Windsor is an island country, which means inconvenient transportation and limited resources. Factories across the country began to urgently stockpile strategic materials to cope with future resource shortages, or to sell strategic materials to allies at high prices.

For capitalists, war economy has both advantages and disadvantages. Exporting to other countries brings huge profits, but domestically it involves supply shortages and inflation, which no one wants to face.

The Tulip Family cannot escape the domestic market. The former Tulip Knights have enjoyed eating, drinking and having fun for so many years, but now it is time to pay off their debts.

As we all know, it is easy to eat but difficult to spit out.

At the meeting in August, several Tulip families that focused on commercial finance and industrial business started to bicker, and each one was better at crying poor than the other. Since Auston was not present and did not have the opportunity to cry poor, all the losing deals were attributed to him.

Wayne nodded as he listened. Seeing Austin's angry face, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Father, the ministers are lining their own pockets, and the queen is partial to treacherous people. How can she run the country's politics with this bunch of insects? Why don't we seize the queen's throne? From now on, you will be the king and I will be the prince. We will punch Frank, kick Prussia, and lead Windsor to dominate the world."

Austin: (_)
Then, the queen will be mine, the princess will be yours, and the prince will be the coachman, and we will take turns using him?
"The queen is your lover after all, so don't kill her. The princess is your illegitimate daughter, so you can take her away. As for the prince..."

Wayne stroked his chin and thought seriously, his eyes flashing: "Keeping him here is a hidden danger. Send him to join the army, as an army soldier, and transfer him directly to the front line."

Wayne planned the future for the Landau family. Putting aside the Pale Knight, he and Auston together could make up six God-chosen Knights. There were three evil dragons in the family and many lovers. He was a typical man who had both people and money.

With such a huge fortune, it would be a shame not to rebel.

No one can beat Windsor!

The Ministry of Magic...

It wasn't possible before, as all the staff were traitors. Now it's even worse, with not even a single traitor left. Two of the three deputy ministers have died, leaving only the old woman Yvette to carry on.

Wayne became more and more excited as he spoke, laughing at the fact that all the undercover agents in the Ministry of Magic were useless, and the royal family only knew how to balance and were trapped in their own web. Once Austin raised his arm, countless people across the country would respond.

"Are you done? If you're done, let's get down to business."

Austin ignored Wayne's nonsense. If someone else had said the same thing, Austin would have called the person ambitious and scheming. He would have regarded him as a close friend on the spot, then turned around and informed the Queen to start confiscating the house.

Switch to Wayne...

I can only say that the style of the painting doesn't match, and it's not even worth reporting.

Seeing that Wayne was silent, Austin said, "Windsor and Frank are across the sea from each other. The war is a long way from us. Just like last time, Frank is still in the lead this time. The friendship between the two countries cannot be lost..."

"Frank is well aware of this and has deployed defenses on the border early on. They have the world's best army. Even though they have suffered heavy losses in the past, their world-class foundation is still there. This line of defense that is related to the survival of the country will not be lost."

Austin analyzed the interests involved and began to discuss the future strategic layout. It was not the Windsor's grand strategy, but how the Landau family could minimize losses and show their loyalty to the royal family under the current international situation.

Strictly speaking, Auston is quite patriotic. The current leader is his ex-girlfriend, who takes good care of him. Compared with other Tulip families, his life is very comfortable.

Even in return, he would not commit treason, let alone rebellion.

But all of these have a prerequisite, that is, Auston puts family above loyalty, loves his own family first, and then uses the rest to love the country.

The same is probably true for the other Tulip families. Three hundred years have passed, and the Tulip Knights' loyalty to the royal family has been greatly discounted.

According to Austin's analysis, under the shadow of war, with economic downturn and limited resources, the conflicts between Tulip families will become increasingly acute, and how to consolidate the family's position is the top priority.

Very good, very good. As expected of a noble lord of London with the Union Jack, he still does not forget about infighting even at this time.

Wayne raised his eyebrows. As the saying goes, amateurs fight externally, and experts fight internally. There was nothing wrong with Auston's strategic vision of focusing on internal fighting, but there was a major mistake in his analysis of the international situation.

What does it mean that the line of defense will not be lost?

Do you know the value of words like impregnable, unbreakable, and the advantage is mine?
Although Wayne also felt that in the magical world, there were many Frankish churches and the beliefs of all parties were mixed together, which ushered in an epic strengthening, and the defense line would not be broken, but Prussia's strengthening would only be stronger.

This line of defense will most likely be destroyed. There's no need to go around it. The magician can just charge and then jump and chop and it will be done.

Thinking of this, Wayne said directly: "Auston, do you really believe that the line of defense will not be lost and can protect us across the sea?"

"if not?"

How can the world's number one army lose when the whole country is defending with all its might?
Auston was very interested, and seeing that Wayne insisted on giving it to him, he generously fulfilled his humble request.

The two of them signed a written agreement, which was a big gamble.

If Auston wins, it will prove that Wayne is just making trouble unreasonably. Not only will he have to prove Auston's innocence and take off all the previous blame, but he will also have to destroy the document that has not been exposed on the spot and obey the orders of the head of the family in the future.

Wayne's victory proves that Auston is short-sighted and unfit to lead the Landau family forward. It is time to retire and Wayne will succeed him as the new head of the family.

As usual, Megan drafted the document and the two of them signed it.

"Just wait. When that line of defense is broken and I become the head of the family, my first order will be for Aunt Mei to resign from her position as housekeeper and focus on her pregnancy as the former master's second wife."

Wayne envisions the future. Megan becoming the second wife is not the point. The point is to make Fla the legitimate wife and fulfill the promise he once made to Fla.

Wayne wants everyone to know that he is not Auston. What he cares about is the professional quality of the butler rather than the promotion machine.

Sit down!

"..." x2
Megan put away the document expressionlessly, subconsciously glanced at the world map behind the desk, and accurately found the location of the defense line, and began to think about how to break through it.

Austin smiled without saying anything, happily playing with the ancient silver coin in his hand. As long as the dark man didn't say anything, he felt that this was a safe bet.

The time has come to avenge our past humiliation.

"Wayne, do you think that Frank is only defending and not attacking, and pinning his hopes on one line of defense? Such a gambler's mentality is bound to fail?" The agreement had already been signed, so Austin started chatting boldly.

This is also the reason why he asked Wayne to come here today.

"No, I just believe in Prussia. Just look at the sewers and you will know that they are rigorous, pragmatic, extremely intelligent and very far-sighted." Wayne said reasonably.

Auston didn't know what Wayne was talking about, so he said, "In your impression, people from the church won't participate in wars, right?"

Finally got to the point!

Wayne's eyes lit up. "On the contrary, I think the church's magicians will participate in the war. This war is different from the last one. The last time the fight stopped halfway through, and it ended before the church had a chance to enter. They will definitely not let go of the opportunity to do it again."

It is hard to say whether the church will join the war, but the magicians of the church will definitely join the war. Although faith has no borders, magicians do. When the war breaks out, facing the tragic death of their loved ones, the magicians will be heartbroken and will definitely look for an opportunity to retaliate.

Considering the outcome of World War I, it is hard to say that the church did not participate, it just did not bring the fight to the surface.

Wayne was not guessing randomly, he had evidence, and his identity as a reincarnated angel was one of the evidences.

Why would heaven send down seven angels for no reason? The number just corresponds to the seven devils of hell. There must be a reason behind this.

The Church of the Heavenly Father is the number one faith in the Chosen Continent. Once Heaven takes action, it will definitely be a big move.

Be bolder, this action of Heaven is not only aimed at Hell, but may also wipe out other beliefs on the Chosen Continent.

Therefore, how could the church not participate in this war!
"Since you think the church is involved in the war, why do you think the Franks will not be able to hold that line?"

Oston said strangely: "Once the defense line is lost, the entire Frankish Empire will have no place to fight again. They will face an unprecedented defeat. No church wants to see this."

"Ah, what do you mean? I don't understand."

Wayne was a little confused: "Why does the church want to protect Frank? The world is in chaos so they can spread God's teachings and people will be willing to believe in them. World peace is not good for them."

"No, a stable order is more important."

Auston used Windsor as an example: "We all know that Windsor has problems, big problems. I, the Prime Minister, and the Queen all know it, but no one will propose reform. Reform means change, and change means destruction."

“When an order can proceed, no matter how many flaws it has, it is right. What is right cannot be changed. To change means failure, and failure leads to destruction.”

"..."

Wayne probably understood something. In his words, when a piece of code can run, don't worry about it even if it has bugs.

You may have good intentions, but once you fix this bug, there will be a chain reaction throughout the entire code.

In comparison, a mere bug is nothing and not a big deal at all.

Seeing Wayne thoughtful, Auston held the ancient silver coin and said, "So I concluded that Frank will not lose, but will continue to sink and will never be able to recover his former glory."

So this is what you insects all think!

Wayne shrugged and said, "Even so, I still believe in Prussia."

“Because of those stereotypes?”

"Their uniforms are so cool!"

"..." x2
Megan had no expression on her face, and Auston rolled his eyes, not understanding what Wayne was talking about. Auston was speechless and said, "As a senior spy trained by Windsor, your liking for Prussia is a bit too high. In the future, keep your mouth shut and don't make random comments. Especially at this stage, many people are watching me."

"The Tulip Family?"

"And the Queen."

Austin sighed and said, "I disappeared for too long, and I couldn't give a reasonable explanation. Being voted out at the August meeting was a warning from the Queen. At the same time, I have been secretly observed by some people recently, so I must keep a low profile."

Wayne nodded and suggested a rebellion to lock the queen in the basement.

Auston ignored him and asked Wayne to be serious and continue discussing future family strategies.

"It's too troublesome. You are the Dark Knight, and I am one of many knights. Why do we need to use our brains to kill all the troublemakers?"

Wayne has his own opinions. He has a very valuable brain and he uses it to manage his time and make the wings happy. He doesn't want to waste time on insects.

"Your idea is too arrogant."

"I'm a golden wizard and a knight chosen by God. I've also saved the world. What's wrong with being a little arrogant?"

"..."

There was no point in talking, and seeing that there was no way to discuss the matter, Auston decided to formulate his own family strategy.

Wayne said, "The research has been completed, the secret base can be abandoned, and I have no use for those Forgotten Ones, so send them back to the asylum."

Auston held the ancient silver coin and said, "The princess has gone back. Your research was successful, right?"

"As far as the results are concerned, it has stabilized."

"Then when are you going to help Xifei break the dragon blood curse?" Austin asked.

Recently, Sphynx has been in poor form and has begun to question his own abilities. He has the idea of ​​challenging the legendary wizard to prevent the dragon blood curse from breaking out. Auston wants Wayne to recover as quickly as possible.

"You can take action now, but I personally suggest that you observe for a while. I want to determine Juno's subsequent performance."

Wayne glanced at Auston and said, "Teacher, please comfort her. It is your change that has made her feel uncomfortable. She is too strong-willed and doesn't want to be protected by you."

"how long?"

"The first course of treatment will be scheduled for one month."

Wayne thought for a moment and continued, "If you can't, just tell the truth. I got a way to control the dragon blood curse from Senna, and I'm still researching it. The teacher cares about his family so much, he must be willing to wait for a while."

The two discussed the specific details, and Auston turned the topic back to the Ministry of Magic. Among the three deputy ministers, one died in the void, and one disappeared without a trace. The Ministry of Magic was unable to maintain normal order and was currently in the reorganization stage.

Several legendary wizards are eager to serve as deputy ministers so as to better prevent the warehouse from being on fire.

Wayne was not interested in these and asked curiously: "The coming of war means that the previous national policy was wrong. When will the Prime Minister step down?"

"almost."

Austin secretly sighed with regret, then said: "In a recent meeting, two members of the Tulip family were at loggerheads, both wanting to become the next prime minister. Have you met one of them..."

Rupert Wilson.

The high priest of the Moonlight Church was attacked, which put the queen in a passive position. She ordered a thorough investigation. Austin became the leader of the investigation team and followed the clues to find out the Wilson family.

Although Wilson was later proved innocent and all the evidence was forged by the traitor Orb, Austin still found out something and took the opportunity to blackmail the Wilson family.

At the Tulip Family meeting, Rupert retaliated against Wayne over whether he was qualified to be the heir to the Landau Family, and uncovered evidence that Wayne was Frank's undercover agent.

The feud between the Landau family and the Wilson family has been established. Regardless of whether it was a show for the Queen or not, Auston would never support Rupert to become the wartime prime minister.

Choose between the two and choose to work with the other preferred person.

Winston Chute.

He also came from the Tulip family and was involved in the military and political fields. He was the hardliner that the country needed during the war, and was just the right person to distinguish himself from the previous compromising policies.

Wayne: "..."

The name sounds like he could be prime minister, and he's probably also a warmonger.

So, when will he take office?
"Not yet. He will soon resume his post as Navy Minister. Let's see how he performs. If possible, the timing will be right once he finds the right cabinet members..."

After saying this, Austin warned, "If I'm not mistaken, a lot of people will come looking for you in the near future. In addition to MI6, there will be some mysterious monitors around you. They are here on behalf of the Queen, and they are all ordinary people. I hope you can restrain yourself and don't cause me any trouble."

When he heard that it was an ordinary person, Wayne immediately said, "The Queen is so good to you. She knew that you were out for a month and there was something wrong with you, but she still chose to turn a blind eye."

"She has no choice. Among the fourteen Tulip families, the Landau family ranks first in loyalty, that's all." Austin said lightly.

It has nothing to do with feelings, but is closely related to the personality he has created over the years, and he hopes Wayne will do the same.

No matter what you think in your heart, you must stick to your duty of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism on the surface!
"By the way, how is your control of the Dark Knight's power?"

“There has been some progress.”

Auston raised his lips slightly and asked tentatively, "Would you like to meet at the West End Cemetery tonight?"

"No, no, I'm afraid I'm no match for you right now. If we meet, I'll definitely get a good kick in the ass from you."

"..."

"What's wrong? Speak!"

"Then I'm not going."

"..."

Wayne thought to himself what a pity, he had overacted and should have restrained himself more just now.
