《Reborn as a small European country》Chapter 1: The Archduke of Nord: Ragnar III
Advertisement
Russell was awakened by a group of people arguing, originally full of anger, he opened his eyes ready to scold the group of people who have no sense of decency, but at the moment he looked away, time seemed to stand still ......
The room is a completely western, soft and velvety double bed, extravagant crystal lamps, marble floor, and of course the dozens of blond European and American middle-aged men in black suits in the room, all of this is very strange to him, and at the same time a bit unbelievable.
If there is no accident, after waking up, he should be in the six people living together in the dormitory, not such a golden room, not to mention other things, just this small lamp in his hand is estimated to be equivalent to all his assets.
Anger turned to cowardice, there was no way around it, the absolute financial suppression turned Russell into a bear in an instant, but it's normal, whoever woke up in this state wouldn't dare to do as he pleased.
"Your Highness, you have just been crowned, now many things are waiting for you to deal with, you see ......"
Your Highness? Coronation? What does this mean?
The first thing you need to do is to look at each other, just for a moment, Russell's brain is in a mess, this, this is not a crossover hit! And the person who crossed over seems to be very unusual ah! The first thing you need to do is to look at everything in the room and the middle-aged blond guy with a serious face in front of you, Russell thought to himself.
And Russell did not know how to answer, the brain suddenly a tingle, followed by a large amount of information influx, Russell that some of the tender little faces gradually carpeted up, see this look, the face of the blond middle-aged handsome eyes flashed a trace of joy, of course, the joy quickly disappeared, replaced by panic, rushed to send for a doctor.
Russell's face didn't last too long, and he was back to normal by the time the doctor came, but Russell was slightly different from before, and a closer look could show that the look in his eyes was very complicated.
At this point, it can be confirmed that he has indeed crossed, and crossed the object or the ruler of a country, although this country is smaller ...... okay! It is very small, with a population of just over 2,000 and an area of just 20 square kilometers.
Europe is rich? Even if it has only a fifth of the area of Paris, with a population of more than 2,000 people is enough to be a millionaire or even a millionaire? History is a little different in this world. It is 1980, but World War II in ...... Europe has just ended, and mighty Germany was defeated only last year.

The destruction of the war is huge, in fact, before World War II when the Duchy of Germany was first established, the country's population has exceeded 100,000, and the territory is hundreds of square kilometers, but unfortunately, when the country's power is booming war suddenly came, the powerful German Empire destroyed France, incidentally occupied the small country located in the west coast of France less than 3,000 soldiers.
Russell should thank God and the gods, otherwise, if he had been reborn as Ragnar I, it would have been an unlucky death?
The original owner of this body was still on the run when he was born, but the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Noord was not Ragnar I, but the father of this body, Ragnar II, a kind, gambling playboy.
In the fifth year of Russell's life, the German Empire collapsed with the help of the United States, and the governments in exile returned to their countries and regained control of their finances and military affairs.
For Ragnar II, there was probably nothing more gratifying than to have his country back, but just as he was getting ready to live his royal life, all sorts of tedious things came before him.
The Duchy of Notre Dame was not too badly damaged by the German soldiers, but even so, it was difficult for Ragnar II, who was not a wealthy French president backed by a group of capitalists, nor was he an influential old imperial family, and when he took over the country, his entire fortune was just over 300,000 pounds.
The 300,000 pounds was a lot at the time, but in a country where it was a drop in the bucket, the angry Ragnar II had to curse the Germans who took away all the taxes every day. If it were not for them, his life would not be so embarrassing, if not for them, he would not be so difficult at this time, in short, if the Germans did not take away the money, he would not be a poor man or even no money to come up with the role of ruler to rebuild the country.
In the two years that he was ruler, the only thing Ragnar II did was to repair the palace and rebuild the hospitals, and primary and secondary schools, which is the main reason why the Ragnar family was able to maintain its current position.
The young man Russell possessed was just eight years old, but at eight years old he was already the de facto ruler of the country, the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Nod, His Royal Highness Joseph Ragnar III.
After reading the memory in his mind, Russell or Ragnar III could not help but look at the solemn blond middle-aged handsome man, the temporary prime minister of the Duchy of Nod, who came from France.
For France, the small countries around them were a pain in the neck, stuck in chokes, but the feasibility of incorporating them into France was very low, after all, they were recognized as real sovereign states. To do this, they came up with a compromise, arranging for various administrative talents to go over there and try to hollow out their royal family.

This was a conspiracy that Ragnar II could not see when he was in office? But there was nothing he could do, for a country with a population of 2,000 people, there were no administrative talents, and the finances were not rich, as the French prime minister and ministers were paid by the French government, which saved the Duchy of Noord a lot of money.
After all, the Ragnar family still had a group of local people and the plan had just been implemented. Without Joseph's handwriting, the French prime minister's order would not have left the grand duke's residence.
Joseph's gaze was profound, a gaze that Crixus had seen many times in the eyes of Ragnar II, which contained mistrust and warning. When he thought about it, Crixus felt like laughing in silence, how is it possible that the other side is only an eight-year-old child?
"Crixus, you let Jemez in for a moment."
Hearing Joseph's words, Crixus was stunned to see Jemez? It took him two years to gain Joseph's favor, but now the first person he wakes up to is Jameis, and when he thinks about what he just saw, Jameis always feels like something is wrong.
The guard who had been standing on the side of the couch, dressed like a German **, bowed respectfully to Joseph and then trotted out the door.
Joseph did not pay attention to the guards but looked at the middle-aged men in the room who were dressed in suits. According to his memory, he recognized the Minister of Education, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Health, the Minister of Transport, and several other members of the cabinet of the Duchy of Noord.
A country with only 2,000 people does not need so many departments, and these departments are in the hands of the French, Joseph the Grand Duke is not already hollowed out? First of all, indeed, the Duchy of Noord does not need so many departments, but this is also the French government deliberately, spread more power to facilitate the hollowing out of the royal family of Noord, and they need to pay only a dozen people's salaries, and the return is nothing compared to.
As for the hollowing out, don't look at their control of so many departments, but the finances are still in Joseph's hands, and the hollowing out is not just to master a few departments, this is a new era, the people's hearts are everything, these people's main purpose is to weaken the influence of the Ragnar family in the Nordic.
If Joseph wants, then he can dissolve this cabinet at any time, the law gives him this right, in the Nord, he is the rightful controller, although this controller is only eight years old.
Crixus did not say anything, the other ministers of the ministries are not qualified to speak? And they did not know what to say, and they did not feel that there was anything wrong with Joseph waking up to see Jemez, who was, after all, the steward of the Grand Duke's residence and had followed the Ragnar family all his life.
Jemez was in the corridor, as the most influential person in the land of Nod excluding Joseph, he should not have been outside the door, but Jemez was loyal and pedantic at the same time, in his perception, the room was filled with members of the cabinet, so the discussion was naturally a matter of state, how could he be involved in it as a mere butler?
"Butler Jemez, His Highness wants you to come over."
Hearing the words of the guard, his worried heart finally dropped, but at the same time, he was a bit confused.
When Jesus hurriedly entered the door, the slightly awkward atmosphere in the room instantly became more active, and even Crixus could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, you are feeling better!"
Yesterday was Joseph's coronation ceremony, after all, only a young boy of eight years old, physical strength can not keep up with the cause of a return to the bed sick, fortunately, the condition is not serious, otherwise, at this time the Duchy of Nod is not such a scene, the Second His Highness just died suddenly the Third His Highness is seriously ill, Nod is not chaotic talent.
Slightly nodded to Jemez to indicate that his body is fine, then Joseph did not speak with Jemez as Crixus imagined, but asked him: "Crixus, I am ready to let Robert as the Minister of Defense, what do you think?"
Joseph's inquiry surprised Crixus, this is a good thing, to know that although there are not many armies in the Nordic, the Ministry of Defense is the absolute most important department, he is happy to be in control of his own hands, but as a politician's caution, he did not dare to easily answer, and will not express his true thoughts, respectfully bowed: "Your Majesty's I will comply with your wish."
He did not say what he meant but simply said that I will do whatever you say. Crixus, who could not see through Joseph's mind, could only take one step at a time, and his troops would come and go.
"Then it is decided! Robert as Secretary of Defense and ...... Jemez as Foreign Minister."
What? Cress and Jemez raised their heads at the same time, full of surprise look, they did not expect Joseph will suddenly make such a decision.

Gray's Crucible
“The value you have brought to trade is immense, more than a thousand fold what any other traveler to Crucible has ever produced. More than even I produced during my journey.” The old man paused for a moment here, seemingly reluctant to continue. After a few seconds he begins again with weariness creeping into his voice. “As the Messenger of Crucible I have received the value of your life. You shall be awarded a body with potential equaling the value you have brought to this place in accordance with the laws of the higher realms. Now you shall depart for Crucible, but first; I, Jaze, will give you some advice.” The old man, Jaze, he had named himself paused a time. Time enough that Gray began to wonder if he was still present, when he suddenly continued in a low and serious tone, “You will undoubtedly have great potential Gray of Earth, but it is still only potential. What could be is not necessarily what will be. If you step foolishly in my world, if you can not live up to the potential you have bartered for, Crucible will crush you mercilessly and tear away your very soul.” A thought, cheerful and light was heard from Gray before his presence was sent rocketing away like a shooting star. “I’m looking forward to it.”
