Kant’s Wife

If there were trending searches in the other world…

Kant would definitely be the only headline in the past few months.

He was like a king from another world who knew everything. He had the constitution of a hot search and made big news all day long. The difference was that the US commander was very good at pleasing the people. Of course, it was only limited to the red-necked electorate. On the other hand, Uncle Kang was a natural pleasure offender. He was decisive in killing and did whatever he wanted.

For example, the commander used underhanded methods to assassinate the enemy’s second-in-command, and then was hit by a missile. In the end, he didn’t say a word of nonsense and refused to admit that there were any deaths. He only said that dozens of people had been blown up into concussions, and it was delayed damage. The ping was so high that it made one’s hair stand on end.

As for Kant?

Over the past month, the number of nobles he had hung up street lamps on was uncountable. It was a once-in-a-century catastrophe in Blue Wave Province. Nobles were stripped, families were wiped out, and massacres of noble bloodlines were carried out. The precedent could be traced back to the tyrant of the Wilderness hundreds of years ago. Kant’s perverse, brutal, and cruel actions were, of course, strongly condemned and opposed by international public opinion and public opinion.

Oh, by the way, in this backward era, the so-called ” public opinion ” was, of course, the voice of the lords who had the ability and qualifications to speak.

After hanging the street lamps all over the nobles in Distant Harbor, he continued to stir up trouble without stopping. This time, the evil claws of the Aurora Dragon extended to the beautiful Broken Islands.

On a sunny afternoon, the alchemy warship made of steel jumped out of the phase gate and appeared in the broken sea. What happened next shocked the whole world a few hours later.

The evil people of Aurora cut all the innocent nobles, businessmen, and investment experts from the Broken Islands into minced meat and scattered them on the most famous Pioneer Square in the Broken Islands. They desecrated this landmark building that symbolized unyielding, exploration, and freedom. Then, they issued an insatiable conquest request to the Broken Islands. He ordered the free harbor to surrender to him and offer loyalty and wealth.

The world was in an uproar.

As the news spread to every corner of the world, people’s impression of Kant gradually became that of a ferocious demon king, an evil eastern barbarian, and a greedy, brutal, and bloodthirsty tyrant.

“International public opinion is nothing.”

In Tidesound Manor, Kant let out a disdainful laugh.” I understand that. Under the premise of the existing order, the right to speak will always be in the hands of the enemy. The reputation of us will not change because of what we do. It will only be related to how powerful we are. So…”

“I’m a barbarian.”

“If they scold them, we’ll fight us.”

“As long as we keep winning and keep getting stronger, sooner or later, they will come and kowtow.”

Kant pointed at the map on the wall. To be precise, he pointed at the pushpins on the Broken Islands on the map. This map was taken from the home of the Empire’s ambassador to Goethe.

” The next phase of our plan is to take down the Broken Islands!”

In the meeting room, Kant sat in the leader’s seat, while his lackeys sat on both sides. It was a rather shabby meeting. Although it was the highest military and political meeting, there were only six members participating, excluding Kant and Lily, who was the secretary. Only four of them were humans, an elf, and a dragon.

Below Hong San on the left were the giant dragon Saros Mill and Han Zezheng.

On the right were three foreign aid, the commanders of the three great fleets.

Such a lineup was simply too crude for a military conquest operation against the Broken Islands. Kant’s shogunate was still in its infancy, after all, and talents were scarce.

And the target of the war, the Broken Islands, was a loose but tight alliance of interests.

In terms of international relations and interests, the Broken Islands could be considered a super first-rate country. In terms of economic strength, it was a first-rate country. In terms of naval strength, it was a second-rate country…With all these data gathered together, in terms of comprehensive national strength, it was definitely a powerful country in the world.

And the other main body of the war that wanted to conquer it was a city.

With a population of hundreds of thousands, the government had just changed and power was in turmoil. The loyalty of the regular army was worrying, and the industry and material resources had not been fully integrated. The relationship with the province and even the capital of the country was subtle and tense.

In short, even an egg hitting a rock could not describe the absurdity of this war.

The people present looked at each other in dismay. They looked at each other, but no one spoke.

A moment later, Hong San broke the silence. The so-called chief minister was to save the boss ‘dignity during the cold silence, to liven up the atmosphere and start the discussion.

“Your Highness, since you’ve summoned us for a discussion, I can boldly deduce that your battle plan isn’t to fly above the Broken Islands and kill them all with a Forbidden Spell.”

Kant laughed.

When he laughed, the other lackeys and temporary lackeys also laughed.

Regardless of whether they were sincere or not.

“Of course not.”

Kant said,” Forbidden spells are like arrows that are fully loaded. They are the most powerful when they are not used yet. You can’t use them too often. Otherwise, it will accelerate the fear and dread of the countries and turn them into enemies who attack first. Besides, the Broken Islands have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. It would be a pity to throw a stone at them.”

” Yes.” Hong San nodded and asked,” Your Highness, do you plan to drive the invincible warship to the sea, block the sea route, sink the enemy’s ships, cut off trade, cut off supplies, surround the enemy, and force them to surrender?”

Kant shook his head.” That would be too slow. We have to take the initiative to attack and occupy it.”

As soon as he said that, the three temporary helpers in front of Hong San couldn’t sit still.

The fleet commanders of the three countries all knew how useless the regular troops in Distant Harbor were. Those soldiers might not even be convinced by His Highness Kant, so how could they be dragged out to fight the landing battle?

He said that he would take the initiative to attack and conquer the islands of the Broken Sea Area…He’s f * cking planning to let us go.

What a joke.

That is the Broken Archipelago. The island defense system is impregnable. It has been built for hundreds of years. We can’t even defeat it with a boat.

The elven brigadier general, the secret seeker of the council, and the colonel of the Imperium were all hesitant to speak. They looked at each other, hoping that the other party would speak first.

Today, they had grown to revere Kant even more. Even the most arrogant quasi-general, Kawesilon, was unwilling to openly say no to Master Kang.

Hong San observed his expression and swept his gaze over. He had an idea in his heart.

He smiled.” Your Highness, the garrison at the distant port is useless. Your Highness wants an army to attack the city. Do you want the rebels to fight?” Forgive me for being blunt, but although the generals are willing to serve Your Highness, they are still the elites of the navies of the various countries. If you let them lead their troops to battle, the three countries will not be able to maintain their reputation. The generals will definitely be in a difficult position…”

As soon as he said that, all the commanders looked at him gratefully.

He had thought that His Highness Kant had pushed Hong San to be the first ruler of Distant Harbor because he wanted to promote his fellow countrymen through nepotism. He did not expect him to be a good man.

Your Highness has good taste.

Kang De and Hong San looked at each other and saw the smile in each other’s eyes.

Then, he looked at the three commanders.

The fleet commanders of the three countries all subconsciously straightened their backs.

Kant knew what to do.

It was called a court of justice and a rebel crusade, but the current rebel crusade society was just a large winery.

Almost all of the members inside were either loyal agents or snitches, including Colonel Beck, who was the most ingratiating to Kant. Although these guys were respectful to Kant and strictly obeyed his orders, they could turn around and return to their home country at any time to provide a large amount of information.

However, Kant did not mind.

As the Skyquaking Dragon became more and more famous on the continent, more and more admirers began to study and explore his life. A theory that could be named ” Kang Xue ” gradually formed, and it was talked about by countless people who worshipped power and were crazy.

The mainstream view was that Kant had been provoked in Bright Sand Town and had hated betrayal ever since. When dealing with traitors, he would kill their entire family at every turn and would not tolerate any snitch. This was actually a huge misunderstanding. Kant was actually very easy to talk to in certain aspects.

Just like Quasi-General Cavisar. It was normal for him to report any information regarding Faraway Harbor and Kant to the Sunset Moon Council after he returned to the country. Kant would never pursue the matter. He would even approve of such an action because it was loyalty to his country. He had done what he should have done. What the elves saw was what Kant allowed him to see.

However, if it was someone like Sarosimir or Arsett the Whip who had pledged loyalty to Kant and made a vow, only to turn around and betray him, they would definitely kill their entire family.

Kant could understand the hesitation of the commanders of the three countries.

“The rebels will definitely participate in the island-seizing operation.”

He nodded at the three generals.” Don’t worry, I know your concerns and will understand you. I will explain to your country, and you can also use your own channels to pass on my ideas directly to your country. In the battle for the island, I will test a series of concepts, equipment, and tactics that I have developed, such as new individual armed forces, armored vehicles, and superior firepower doctrine.”

Kant smiled cunningly.” That’s right. I sincerely invite the elite naval forces of the three countries to serve as field observers, instructors, and examiners. The participants can try out all the new equipment that I’ve invested in the island-seizing operation for free. All the feedback and intelligence you gather during the process of using them can be sent back to the country unconditionally. That’s the condition I’m offering you.”

Now, everyone knew that Kant’s alchemy skills were unparalleled.

The generals were all moved.

What made them tremble and fear the most were the terms Kant mentioned.

They.

Everything.

You guys.

“Your Highness,” Kavisaron took a deep breath,”may I assume that the new equipment you’ll be investing in the upcoming war…” A lot?”

“Not much.” Kant smiled.” But there are quite a few.”

The generals looked at each other.

” We will wait for a reply from our country.” The elven brigadier general pounded his chest in salute.” If Your Majesty agrees and the parliament agrees, all the officers and soldiers of this fleet will become your sharp blades and help you eliminate your enemies.”

The Secrets Seeker and the Imperial Colonel immediately made their promises.

” No, generals. Your mission is not to fight directly, but to protect and teach.” Kant shook his head.” I want to use the flames of war to refine some ores of unknown quality.”

No matter how much training and drills they had, they were not as useful as a real battlefield.

The generals were deep in thought.

“Hong San.” Kant turned around and asked,” How are the recruits?”

” I’ve already recovered,” the other party replied.” Everyone has been filed and those who failed have been dismissed. A total of 1,734 people have been recruited.”

Kant nodded and said,” Next, you’ll be in charge of reorganizing the military affairs of the distant harbor. Choose soldiers with clean backgrounds, strong physiques, and extraordinary skills from the city’s guard corps. After Horus and the court have double vetted and inspected them, they’ll be incorporated into the new army. Horus will train them.”

“Yes,” Hong San replied solemnly.

Kant then looked at Han Zezheng.” Chief Finance Officer, for the time being, you will be in charge of the municipal administration. The economic mission of the new government of Distant Port is to expand the port, adjust the industrial structure, and recruit manpower to cope with the recovery of commercial activities and trade. The war against the Broken Islands is expected to last for several months or longer, because I will smash that place into pieces and use it as my training ground and weapon testing ground.”

Just like what he had said to Job.

There was no place more suitable than the Broken Islands. The strategic depth was close to zero, the military strength was not weak, the equipment configuration was world-class, and the magic was perfect. It was an ideal place for weapons testing and training.

He continued,” Therefore, the Broken Islands will no longer be a trading hub. No merchant will use the war-torn war zone as a transit point for their goods. If they don’t go to the Broken Islands, they can only come to the Far Port, and they must come to the Far Port. This will bring about a full recovery of the Far Port’s economy. It’s something I can bring to this city from the battlefield. You must take it!”

“Yes, sir!” “I will not fail my mission!” Han Zezheng stood up and said.

Kant nodded.” This isn’t a simple task. Your mission isn’t just this. Once the war breaks out, the sea trade will be cut off. There’s no need to think about the merchant ships coming from the Broken Islands. Who knows, Goethe might even be a hindrance internally. The mission of maintaining economic operations and sufficient supplies will also be yours.”

” In short, this is an unprecedented opportunity and challenge. As the Minister of Economics of the new government in Distant Port, I have given you the stage. Whether you can do it well and how well you can do it depends on yourself.”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Han Zezheng bowed to the end.” I will die for you!”

” Alright, let’s do our own things. Just listen to the instructions.”

Kant waved his hand.

The lackeys had all left, leaving Kant, Hong San, and Lily in the meeting room.

Lily closed the meeting records and pursed her lips.” Why did you call Sarosmir?” To make up the numbers? I didn’t say a word to him from the beginning to the end.”

” He’s very happy to be called here,” Kant smiled.

Lily was stunned for a moment. After thinking it through, she rolled her eyes. Damn it, no wonder he looked so happy when he sat down. Using such a method to win over a money-loving dragon is shameless.”

Kant glanced at her.

What’s wrong with that? There are still people who use equity incentive to bait dragons to lower their psychological defenses.

Hong San sat at the side and pondered for a moment. He raised his head and said,” I didn’t expect that Your Highness would want to get a share of the profits from the three countries. It sounds like you want to sell alchemical weapons to them?”

” This is a future project that will earn foreign exchange through export. Use it to bait their appetite.”

Kant explained,” But it’s just a pretext. It’s a reason for the three heads of state to convince the ministers and opposing forces. The real bait is the Broken Archipelago, which is the trade hub of the western seas. The huge wealth it has accumulated over the past few hundred years is enough to tempt even the Sunset Moon Dynasty.”

“If I want to touch the Broken Islands, there will definitely be many people who will oppose it. The Broken Islands have done a good job on this point. They have made the cake very big and are willing to share it. Therefore, there are many forces and countries on the entire continent that are their natural protective umbrella. The conflict of interests is complicated, and the resistance to using force is very strong.”

” But who asked me to be a crazy Aurora Barbarian? I think my series of performances these days should let the whole world know me. When I successfully make them realize that I will do whatever I want at all costs, they will finally understand that the Broken Islands can’t be saved.”

“Since we can’t keep it, we can only get more benefits.”

Kant said calmly,” If the Three Kingdoms want to split the money, they can do so. Even if they want to split the money, they have to do something to help me share some of the pressure. As for what they want, the money from the Broken Islands is not important to me, but the people are. Their trade routes and businesses are more important to me, but to the Three Kingdoms, money is the most important.”

“They take the money, I take the people, and the trade route business. As for the money they took…” A sly smile appeared on his face.” I’ll earn it back with the latter two very soon. Very soon.”

“But I still have to remind you, Your Highness.”

Hong San took out a map from his folder.”” Although I haven’t been to the Broken Islands, I’ve been investigating for the past two days and have roughly understood the situation of this land of wealth. After countless years of accumulation and construction, investing heavily, buying the latest technology, and recruiting talents, the Broken Islands have the highest density of defense units. The island’s defense system is extremely complete, and capturing it is an extremely difficult task. Even the unparalleled and powerful army of the Sunset Moon Dynasty doesn’t dare to easily claim victory.”

” As a matter of fact,” he pointed,” Your Highness, you don’t need to use Forbidden Spells. It’ll be a very difficult task to remove the series of giant fortresses, mage tower arrays, and permanent super-heavy magic devices with just conventional force. I don’t know if you…”

“It’s done.” Kant nodded and smiled.” I’ll take care of the war. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Did I not tell you?

I have a wife, and she’s working at the docks in Los Angeles. Her name is Howard.
