Chapter 957: Changes in the Empire (Part 2)

The second major change in the Britannia Empire is that the leader and deputy leader of the Uriel Knights have finally been established.

The Round Table Conference in 290 should be regarded as one of the most famous Round Table Conferences in the history of the Britannia Empire.

Because of the Round Table Conference in 290, many resolutions were passed that would have a great impact on future generations.

For example: the "permanent military commander system" and the establishment of the fourth largest knight order in the empire, the Knights of Uriel.

Because the Uriel Knights have been established for a short period of time, are basically new recruits, and have not yet developed their combat capabilities, the central government has not been in a hurry to set up a captain and deputy captain for the Uriel Knights.

Last year, in the 294th year of the Imperial Calendar, the Knights of Uriel finally established the candidates for the leader and deputy leader.

The leader and deputy leader of the Uriel Knights are identified as Allen and Enli.

Allen and Enli became the first captain and first deputy captain of the Uriel Knights.

Regarding the appointment of Allen and Enli as the leader and deputy leader of the Uriel Knights, everyone expected it.

After all - Ilsa has clearly wanted to reuse Ellen and Enli in recent years.

In addition, the two men's abilities are already outstanding, so it is not unexpected that they will be appointed as the leader and deputy leader of the Uriel Knights respectively.

However, some people still criticized Allen's appointment as the leader of the Uriel Knights.

For example - Jacob.

Jacob has always disliked Ellen.

Ever since Allen surrendered to the Britannia Empire, Jacob has always felt that there was something wrong with Allen.

Although he couldn't say why, his instinct told him this - Allen was not worthy of trust and reuse.

Although Allen has been well-behaved since he submitted to the Britannia Empire, Jacob still has prejudices and hostility towards Allen.

If possible, Jacob wanted to suppress Allen so that Allen would never be able to enter the upper echelons of the Britannia Empire.

It's just that--the two great-grandchildren, Gozevin and Ilsa, admire Allen very much.

Jacob also gave advice to Ilsa in private many times,

Tell Ilsa to be careful of Ellen.

But Ilsa did not listen to Jacob's advice.

Although Jacob is the palace minister of the empire, he cannot distort the will of Ilsa as the emperor.

If Jacob is willing, he can actually forcefully change Ilsa's decision to appoint Ellen as the leader of the Uriel Knights.

Relying on Jacob's influence in the central government, it was actually a very simple matter for him to unite a group of important ministers to remonstrate with Ilsa and ask her to cancel Allen's appointment.

Even if Ilsa were the emperor and faced with so many important ministers admonishing them at the same time, she would not be able to ignore them.

But Jacob was not willing to do this.

Because if he does this, he will be criticized as a "powerful minister", let alone that.

If you do this, it will leave a very bad impact.

The biggest impact is that it will severely damage Ilsa's prestige as the emperor.

What Ilsa lacks most now is the prestige that can overwhelm the ministers.

Ilsa ascended the throne at a young age. Regardless of local officials, who among the central government officials is not several times older than Ilsa?

Now it is because Gozevin is still alive, with Gozevin's remaining power and the support of Ilsa from the important ministers headed by Jacob, that the atmosphere and status of the empire remain in the "Gozevin era". There was great turmoil due to the young master's accession to the throne.

But Gozevin and Jacob cannot protect Ilsa for a lifetime.

Ilsa must be on her own as soon as possible while Gozevin and Jacob can still protect her.

If you want to stand alone, there is one thing that is indispensable, and that is the prestige that is enough to suppress the ministers and make them willing to surrender to you.

Prestige is a strange thing.

If you want to cultivate it, it will take a long time, but if you want to destroy it, it may only take one night.

Jacob did not want to destroy Ilsa's authority.

If Ilsa's prestige was hit and destroyed, she didn't know how long it would take to recover.

Therefore, in order to protect Ilsa's prestige, Jacob could only let Ilsa appoint Ellen as the leader of the Uriel Knights.

Although Ilsa appointed Ellen as the head of the Uriel Knights, which disappointed Jacob, the good news is that Ilsa's appointment of the deputy head of the Uriel Knights did not disappoint Jacob. Also disappointed.

Ilsa handed over the position of deputy leader of the Uriel Knights to Enli.

Although Jacob was not very familiar with Enli, according to his understanding, although Enli was a man with many personal flaws, generally speaking, he was still a loyal and courageous man with outstanding abilities and worth relying on.

Jacob had no objection to him being the deputy leader of the Uriel Knights.

The third major event that happened in the empire in the past two years was the change of locations of the major knights.

The Britannian Empire now has four major knights: the Knights of Michael, the Knights of Gabriel, the Knights of Rachel, and the Knights of Uriel.

The strength of each knighthood is: 120,000 knights of Michael, 300,000 knights of Gabriel, 200,000 knights of Rachel, and 150,000 knights of Uriel. The total strength of the four major knights is 770,000.

After the leader and deputy leader of the Uriel Knights were formally determined last year, the central government began to change the locations of the major knights.

The location of the Knights of Michael remains unchanged and continues to be stationed in the north of the Britannia Empire.

The 150,000 troops of the Knights of Uriel were officially stationed in the imperial defense circle centered on Pendragon.

The troops of the Knights of Gabriel and the Knights of Raziel, which were originally stationed in the imperial defense circle, were transferred back to the fronts they were originally responsible for.

The Knights of Raziel were divided into two, and Harry Brown, the deputy commander of the Knights of Raziel, led 100,000 troops to continue to be stationed on the southern front.

The other 100,000 troops were led by Albert and stationed on the eastern front, that is, the Rhine front, together with the Knights of Gabriel led by Iser.

The current distribution of the troops of the Britannia Empire has become-

The Knights of Michael continue to be stationed on the northern front, with a total of 120,000 troops.

The Knights of Uriel are stationed in the imperial defense circle centered on the imperial capital, with a total of 150,000 troops.

The Knights of Raziel were divided into two, half of which continued to be stationed on the southern front, while the other half cooperated with the Knights of Gabriel to station on the Rhine front. The total strength of the Southern Front is now 100,000.

As for the Rhine Front, it now has 300,000 troops from the Gabriel Knights and 100,000 troops from the Raziel Knights, totaling 400,000 troops.

400,000 troops stationed on the Rhine River - this is the largest number of troops stationed on the Rhine Front since its establishment.

The reason why the central government of the Britannia Empire changed the stations of the major knights to this is to prepare for the "Southern Cross Plan".
