Chapter 171 Just Treat Her as Your Own Sister
Linde was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the sister he was talking about was Her Majesty the Queen in the royal capital.
After reading the letter carefully, Lind probably guessed that the King of Anjou was hurt by the artillery fire and could not think of a way to crack it for a while, so he began to write letters to mock him.
After opening the intelligence from the royal capital, Linde further confirmed his speculation.
The letter, or "love letter", sent by Alberto, King of Anjou, to Queen Lilith has spread all over the streets of the capital. This letter is more of a mockery than a proposal to Lilith.
Not only did he want to mock, the King of Anjou probably also wanted to stir up internal strife in the Capetian capital. In this letter that disgusted Lilith, he even left a short paragraph to mock the Duke of the two southwestern territories, obviously talking about the incompetence of the two southwestern territories.
Let everyone know that your queen has been humiliated by me, the King of Anjou, and because of the incompetence of the two southwestern territories, the Kingdom of Capet dared not fight back against the Kingdom of Anjou.
By then, the two dukes in the southwest will probably not have an easy time.
The two dukes must give some explanation to the people in the capital no matter what, especially now that Lilith's prestige is rising.
But what Linde didn't expect was that the other party not only mocked Lilith, but also sent a letter specifically to mock himself.
Apart from the fact that he was Lilith's sworn brother, it was probably because the artillery and muskets that flowed out of the North really gave the king a headache.
When Lind had roughly read the information, Lucanus said, "My king, this letter was sent through the bard's channel."
After hearing this, Lind understood something and asked, "Are they your colleagues?"
"Yes, some colleagues of the Recording Party are working for the King of Anjou. There are still some copies of this letter that might have flowed into the North, but I was worried about the impact on the war, so I stopped them all."
Lind nodded, as an acknowledgement of Lucanus, and then said, "No need to stop them. This kind of thing cannot be stopped. Even if we stop them this time, the next time they start from Doug's territory, the effect will be the same if it spreads to our side."
"If you are determined to do this, you can't stop it."
Lucanus bowed and asked, "My king, do we need to fight back?"
"of course."
The format of this letter is completely rude and the attitude towards Lind is quite contemptuous. If Lind does not fight back, it will not have much impact on the current war, but it is very disgusting.
It seems that the other party's proposal this time is not only to stir up the quagmire of the royal capital, but also to interfere in the affairs of the northern border.
Judging from the intelligence and letters sent from the royal capital this time, the other party's previous goal has been achieved, because this time, not only letters from Lilith, but also letters from Judith.
Lind had communicated with Judith, the Duchess of the Southern Territory, but that was only about artillery transactions. Although the other party was very enthusiastic about him, Lind always maintained a businesslike attitude.
But this time, Judith wrote to me for help.
This letter was not sent through normal channels. It was a real secret letter that even Lucanus was not qualified to read.
The most important content in this letter is that Judith hinted that there was something wrong with Lind's background and that he might really be a descendant of the old empire, but to be honest, Lind didn't care too much about it.
After all, it is entirely possible that this kind of thing was made up by the other party in order to please her and get her to help the South Territory overcome this difficulty. Otherwise, why did Judith seem to have never told the royal family about such an important matter, and didn't even remind them?
Neither Clan nor Lilith seemed to know about this, and completely regarded Lind's so-called identity as a descendant of the old empire as a rumor.
There are a lot of people with black hair and black eyes now. I heard that Lilith also has black hair and black eyes. Could she be a descendant of the old empire as well?
And even if this identity is true, it will not have any impact at this point, unless Judith really wants to work with me to attack from both the north and the south to restore the old empire.
But judging from the content of the letter sent by Judith, the other party seemed to be standing on the side of the Capetian Kingdom, or Lilith, and hoped that she could provide help.
"Burn it."
Lind handed the letter to Lucanus. Although Lucanus was wearing a blindfold, he still turned his head and snapped his fingers, and the secret letter in his hand was burned to ashes.
Compared to Judith's secret letter, which Lind thought was obviously full of scheming and conspiracy, Lilith's letter was much more simple.
At first, she really talked about her life and the recent situation in the royal capital like a younger sister, then she talked about some unimportant things, and finally she said shyly that she was bullied.
This writing style reminded Linde a little of his sister in his previous life. When he thought of his sister being teased by the yellow-haired guy, Linde's blood pressure began to rise.
But after all, this was not his real sister, and Linde quickly calmed down.
However, at the end of the letter, Lilith bluntly expressed her hope that Gray White Collar could provide newer muskets, and that she could buy as many muskets and bullets as she wanted. It would be even better if she had grenades and other weapons.
This is a big order. After hesitating for a while, Lind decided to treat the queen as his own sister.
Moreover, the King of Anjou seemed to be a little too radical, and Lind's counterattack was not intended to be just verbal.
"Call Jefferson over. Forget it... Let Jefferson wait for us in Black Iron City."
Lind put down the information and letters, took out a piece of letter paper, wrote it, and handed it to Lucanus.
"Give this letter to your colleagues in the Recording Party."
Lucanus took the letter and retreated into the shadows.
Although the inspection was almost over, Lind did not end it early. Instead, he returned to Black Iron City after having fun with Lena for two days.
Jefferson has been waiting here for a long time.
"Has the business in the capital encountered any difficulties?"
In addition to Doug's smuggling business, Jefferson is also nominally responsible for the legitimate arms sales in the royal capital.
After all, the show has to be complete. If Jefferson didn't get involved in the arms business, how could he smuggle the weapons for Doug?
Knowing that Lind didn't like beating around the bush, Jefferson didn't hide it and said directly: "I was just about to report to you that the nobles in the two southwestern regions hope that we can provide newer muskets and artillery, as well as more shells, and weapons including fragmentation grenades and mines."
"Well... forget about the land mines. We can sell some hand grenades, as for the newer muskets and artillery."
Jefferson originally thought that the matter ended here. Although the so-called newer muskets and cannons were models that had long been eliminated by the gray-collar workers, it was estimated that they would not be sold as before.
"Just sell them the old model machine guns. In addition to this, we can sell them the newer model of muskets, and then let the factory build a new production line for these muskets."
"Wha, what?"
Jefferson thought he was hallucinating. Could Jefferson understand why they sold the other party an old model of machine gun? And why did they set up a new production line?
Jefferson knew what the concept of the Gray-collar weapons production line was. The bullets that had been produced were more than enough to sell to the royal capital. But now they wanted to build another production line for the two southwestern regions of the royal capital?
"Someone in the capital said they would buy whatever we sell. We won't have such a good opportunity again. If we can't pay, let them use raw materials instead. We can also buy on credit as long as we have a written receipt."
"My subordinate understands."
Thinking about some recent rumors he had heard about the Kingdom of Anjou, Jefferson quickly figured out what was going on and knew what to do.
