Chapter 572 Albert's Past

When Claude was conferred as the Honorary Baron of the Kingdom by King Stirling X in the Overseas Dominion due to his military achievements, he chose to use the Chinese character to commemorate his previous life. Of course, the external statement is that he does not forget the promotion of the great prince Hansback, so he chose the first word of the great prince's name as the gift. From that moment on, Claude's full name was Baron Claude Hanfield, and he became one of the nobles of the kingdom.

As a relative of Claude, his mother, wife, sister, and brother all shared Claude's glory. Because they are immediate relatives, they can also add this gift to their names. With the continuous promotion of Claude's status and knighthood, this Chinese character has become the symbol of the Field family. Even Claude made a badge for his family, but only chose a Chinese character in the middle of the Phnom Penh shield, which looks simple and clear.

But now Albert came to visit, and the name posted was the full name of Viscount Albert Sandfield. This surprised Crowd. When was the word from the Field family changed to San, Why don't you know In addition, as the honorable aristocracy of the Kingdom who paid the royal baron and land selection fee, wasn't he promoted to the rank of hereditary baron? So how did Albert write the title of the post as the Viscount? What's wrong with it?

"Oh, Claude, this is what the mother meant ..." Al Gotter smiled and replied calmly: "Mother said it was the father's meritorious service for the Kingdom that opened up new routes for the Field family. Today, she asked Her Majesty to change the word Zi to the sang word in his father's name in honor of our father. But His Majesty said that to change the word, you must first obtain your consent, so the mother only changed her and My gift ... "

Claude smiled, but his face was cold: "Understandably, this should have been planned by the mother. Perhaps, in her opinion, this is to return the Field family to orthodoxy. After all, now that you have the eldest son, you can be justified. Inheriting the family business, I believe she should be very satisfied. Say, what are you doing to me this time? "

Albert looked at Claude, and sincerely bowed his head, apologizing: "Claude, because of my youth, I didn't fulfill the duties of my eldest brother, and treated your brothers and sisters very harshly. I also regret it after all these years. But I heard that you are doing very well now, and I am also very happy for you. This visit is to admit to you the mistakes made when you were young, and the mother asked me to ask You ask for help ... "

Claude shook his head with a smile: "Say, what does my mother want me to do for you? I know she won't think of us if it's okay. As long as you admit wrong things about that year, let's forget it, None of us are honored to have an elder brother like you. Albert, you can deceive your mother, but you can't lie to us, what kind of person you are. Our three brothers and sisters know very well. In fact, the mother changed We are also a little bit more relaxed, and now we and you are no longer in the same family ... "

Claude was right, mother changed the word gift means that in her heart, Sang Field is the family, and Han Field is a separation. The difference in the word gift means that the Field family was artificially separated. Claude is convinced that his sister and brother are willing to follow themselves, and they will not change the word gift. By the way, my brother can also re-name Han Field's last name. He gave up his last name and homeowner last time because his mother killed Adele. Now Claude can ask him to return.

"No, no, no, Crowd, people will change." Albert hurriedly said, "I was really sorry for you at the time, but that was because young people did n’t know it, and they only thought of White Deer as their own. The whole world. I have traveled to the Faroe continent in these years and experienced many things before I finally realized that the most important thing is his own brother. Even if the word given is different, our blood relationship is still because we have fathers all over us. Bloodline ... "

Claude stretched out an index finger and waved in front of Albert, motioned him not to talk nonsense: "I'm busy, I have no time to talk with you, you can just say what your mother wants you to do ... . "

As the head of the autonomous region, Claude has his own power, coupled with the marshal of the kingdom and the aura of hereditary counts, Albert has dared not to draw any brothers' blood in front of Claude. He barely smiled, but his body began to shrink, and he never again had the erect posture and the gentlemanly appearance when he first entered.

"Yes, that's it ..." Albert laughed with a smile. "Mother wants you to pay a loan of one million kronor to the queen, and then give some support to the family territory. She also Wrote a list and let me give it to you ... "

Albert took a fine piece of parchment from his arms and placed it in front of Claude.

Claude was ridiculed: "I would like to know, why do other people's promotion fees and land selection fees add up to 500,000 kronor, but the mother wants one million?"

"Because her mother said that her father's chase was an honorary viscount, she spent an additional 500,000 kronor for Her Majesty's help and promoted the hereditary baron to the rank of viscount, so that the family land obtained in this way could also be larger ... .. "explained Albert.

Still so? The King and Her Majesty really make money. Claude was very impressed. He mobilized the Thunder and Storm Corps for the robbery of money from the Hicks Kingdom. He also had eight Hicks Returning Divisions and conspired with the Kingdom of Bryot to develop the Hicks. The Kingdom Raiders plan wasted so much manpower and material resources, as well as the cooperation of such a large ocean-going transport fleet and the Iron Armored Fleet, that it could earn tens of millions of gold crowns as expected.

The King and Her Majesty both stayed in the palace, and with the touch of their upper and lower lips, they took an extra 500,000 kronor from their mother. If this news comes out, I believe there will be more Kingdom Barons willing to pay 500,000 kronor to promote their title to Viscount. Because the hereditary clan possession of the viscount includes one town and two villages, and the bad luck of the hereditary clan possession of the baron has only one village, just like the squirrel village of the year.

"I won't pay this money, and all my properties don't have a million kronor." Claude rejected the mother's request very straightforwardly: "Since you want to inherit the title of Viscount Sangfield, then this You should bear this debt, it has nothing to do with us! "

Is there any pit son mother? Claude wanted to sigh, and remembered himself when he spent the money. Don't even think about who would ignore the merits of his father, Mr. Morsan, for opening a new route for the kingdom without his own struggle and current status? She may be too tolerant of her mother's nonsense, she has become a joke of the kingdom without knowing it.

No matter who has a million kronor of debt on his head, Crowder even doubts that the output of the Viscount for one year is enough to pay back the one million kronor of interest. Sure enough, Albert was in a hurry: "Why don't you, mother said that you can easily obtain two or three million kronor by mortgaged the shares of that tobacco factory, and that tobacco factory is not a family business? Mother now Also to pay off the debts of the family territory ... "

"Oh ..." Claude sneered: "What does this tobacco workshop mean to the mother? Did she make any effort? And this tobacco workshop belongs to the Han Field family, not the Sang Field family. Industry, I hope my mother understands this ... "

Claude grabbed the parchment on the table, glanced at it and laughed again: "She still needs 3,000 new rifles, why use them and rob them? 10,000 sheep, 1,000 cows, two Luxury carriages, eight sets of fine court tableware and two carriages' luxury decorations, and I have to give her pocket money of 10,000 kroner every month. What does she think of me as a national bank? "

"Then, the nobles who came back from the Hicks Kingdom said that you have survived this time, and took away the Wangjing area of ​​the Hicks Kingdom and Wangjing Saint-Hiprian City, unlike they can only be in the western part of the bitter haha County toss. They said that you can at least get tens of millions of kronor of wealth, so your mother only asks you for such a small profit to share ... "Albert faced Claude's Furious, he quickly explained.

"Is this a little profit sharing?" Claude slammed his palm on the parchment: "This is a lion's big opening, don't you understand? Do you think those seizures belong to me personally? I tell You, if I dare to give my mother these things, I will have to go to military court tomorrow! "

"Yes, but aren't you Marshal of the Kingdom, the Supreme Commander of the Dominion Command?" Poor Albert did not understand the rules and regulations of the Dominion Command. In his opinion, since Claude was the Supreme Commander, he had the final say What kind of property and spoils you want is just a sentence. If it is what he thinks, then Marshal Bolonick will not step down because he has promised to deal with the kingdom's native arms.

"Forget it, I can't tell you clearly, you don't understand anyway." Claude ignored the flushed Albert: "Say, what do you want three thousand new rifles for?"

The thing behind the parchment list can be understood. It is nothing more than the mother who wants to show off, but the requirements of the three thousand new rifles in the front are more strange. This cannot be the meaning of the mother. It can only be said of Albert. Claude wanted to figure out why he wanted a new rifle?

"This, this," Albert said for a long time: "I just want to form a family guard, and I will have the opportunity to make some money on the battlefield like those nobles ..."

"Oh ..." Claude sneered again, forget it, it's boring, send this Albert away early: "Do you know how much it costs to raise soldiers? Three thousand new rifles, you want to rebel Right. A Viscount territory has formed a large team of two hundred people, and the barren territory is too much to eat. Do you still want to raise thousands of soldiers to wage war? Do you think a collared gun is a qualified soldier? Do n’t worry about you Does the usual abuse of them make him hate and give you a shot in the back? It ’s so beautiful ... ”

Clodra pulled the caller at the desk, and soon Captain Fahselin pushed in the door: "Hello, Marshal, what can you tell me, please instruct ..."

"Captain, my salary is all with you, how much is it?" Claude asked.

"From last year to now, your salary benefits and year-end bonuses are here with me. They add up to 13,528 King Krona, and I have a detailed billing record here." Fakhselin The captain replied.

"Go get ten money kroner bills."

"Yes." Captain Fahselin went out for a while, and soon returned with ten bills of one thousand gold crowns.

"Albert, this ten thousand kronor is my last grant to my mother." Crowd rubbed his temples and felt tired: "Since the mother has decided to split, I don't say anything, Let you inherit everything from the Sangfield family, and it will be okay with me in the future. As for this list, I will give you a little compensation so that you can go back and explain the past. "

"Captain Fahselin, you take him" Claude pointed to Albert: "Go to the logistics department, pick one from the seized royal carriage, and make two fine sets of court tableware and utensils. Then go to armament He obtained a thousand firearm guns from the Hicks Kingdom seized and equipped them with ammunition. All the costs were deducted from my salary bill. I believe that more than three thousand crowns should be enough to pay the bill. It's ... "

Albert still wanted to say something, but Claude didn't give him a chance and let him go.

Colonel Bokal pushed in, and went to the wine cabinet to pick his own wine: "What's wrong with you, your face looks tired ..."

"Tired ..." Crowd leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes closed: "You **** came over to drink and drink again. Didn't you notice that you were a lot fatter in this day?"

Colonel Bokal poured himself a glass of fruit wine: "Is that Albert a while ago? I look a lot from the distance ..."

As a young friend of Claude, Colonel Bokal naturally knew Albert, the big brother who was at odds with Claude.

Claude nodded and whispered Albert's intentions.

"Your mother, um ..." Colonel Bokal shook his head: "I don't know what to say, but it's okay to split up, and they won't bother you later. However, Claude, I would like to remind you that Albert may be causing you trouble. I remember that West Miroke County issued a warrant for him and it should not have been cancelled until now ... "

Crowd froze and opened his eyes: "What are you talking about? Albert is a wanted criminal, what did he do, and why did West Mirock County want him?"

Similock is one of the three counties in the southwest. It is separated from White Deer City by Paleavia County, and it is located in a remote and conservative place. Claude remembered that Bokal's aunt married this county, and his uncle's family is very popular in West Miroke County, and is considered a local nobleman.

"Did I not serve in the Bungria Defence Battalion in West Mirok County that year? Later, after the outbreak of the First Eastern War, we were the second batch of garrison troops deployed to the front. Just a few days before the departure, the county town of Bungery A fraudulent marriage affair occurred in Asia City. The Baroness Audrey, who had been single for many years, was swept away by most of her family by a liar, which caused a big storm and became a well-known local case.

It is said that the scammer was Captain Gerat, a logistic officer of the Kingdom Army, who came to West Mirok County to investigate the quality of the supply of frontline armaments. Then they met the 34-year-old Baroness Audrey and fell in love. Two months later they decided to get married, but had to wait for Captain Wang's parents and relatives to come to the wedding. At this time, due to the shortage of funds for the procurement of armament materials, the Baroness Audrey took out most of her family's property to advance ...

As a result, Captain Gerat suddenly disappeared two days before the wedding. At that time, the Baroness Audrey thought he had an emergency military service and hurriedly contacted the Kingdom Army, but the response was that no one was found. Only then did everyone notice that there was nothing quite right, and a closer inspection revealed that they had all been taken into account. Captain Gerat was a liar and took away most of Baroness Audrey's property. So the portrait of this liar was on the wanted list, and I went to see that he was Albert.

Then I went to the front line. After the First Eastern War, I returned to West Mirok County and served as the battalion commander of the Bungria defensive camp. At another banquet, I heard people talk about this fraudulent marriage incident. It is said that the Baroness Audrey was disgraced, and after three months of the wanted warrant, she actively canceled the wanted, but secretly pursuing the scammer Gerat Captain ... "Colonel Bokal told a story about a decade ago.

"Are you sure Captain Gerat is Albert?" Crowd asked, frowning.

"You should know my vision." Colonel Bokal said, "I see people and things very accurately, and I won't recognize it wrong. And I have known Albert for so many years since I was young, and I don't know what he looks like ? Although the portrait of Captain Gerat on the wanted order was a little distorted and he was wearing military uniforms, I knew at first sight that he was Albert.

And Albert had just left Bailu Town for two years at that time. You wrote about it in your letter that year, and he left you unknown, that is, your mother asked others to inquire about him. No one noticed him in White Deer Town, he became the secretary of Sir Sir Fook again, and stayed in the manor every day. The average businessman didn't remember him, so he was wanted in West Miroke County and no one knew him. The roots.

But the Baroness Audrey was still there, and if the two met, she would recognize Albert. I heard that the Baroness Audrey had no intention of obtaining family territory from Her Majesty the King, and had been staying in a manor on the outskirts of Bungilia County, and would likely spend the rest of her life there. As for anyone else who has seen Captain Gerat, you may have forgotten it, so Albert is fine at present, but you should also take precautions ... "

Claude nodded, and understood what Colonel Bokal reminded him. In the event that this matter was exploded, Marshal Kingdom's eldest brother was a wanted scammer, and this matter would still be a scandal .. ....

"Stop that." Claude switched the subject: "Don't you come to me just to drink a bar?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about the business." Colonel Bokal said, "As soon as I received the news from the North, I came to report to you right away."
