"Five, four, three, two, one."
ignition!"
A rocket slowly rose over the Dragon Continent.
The enormous flames were visible to people even from a distance on the Dragon Continent.
"Booster separation."
"Booster separation successful."
Beneath the rocket's exhaust flame, four dark shapes began to fall.
"Core-level host shutdown".
"The satellite was launched into free flight."
...
Far away on Chicken Island.
Zhao Chen was looking through the telescope in front of him, watching the launch of the first JF-17 Thunder satellite.
"It's taken off." Zhao Chen looked away and looked up at the night sky.
"We did it!" The secretary from Chicken Island waved his arms excitedly.
"It's not a complete success yet."
It will take until the satellite completes one orbit around the planet.
Because our current ground signal is only available at our current location.
Therefore, this satellite will be out of contact with us for a long time to come.
It will have to endure the next ten long hours on its own.
"How long will it stay up there?" the Chicken Island secretary asked curiously.
"According to the batteries we have equipped on it."
This little guy will wander around there for about thirty days.
Then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will crash into the sea surrounding the Dragon Continent.
We will need to collect the wreckage and the experimental data stored inside.
"This is how we can say we've completed our first satellite test." Although Zhao Chen wasn't present, he already knew the entire test process.
He could even know what every order issued by the launch center was when he closed his eyes.
"Huh? Only thirty days?" The secretary from Chicken Island seemed somewhat disappointed with the number.
After all, they are from the interstellar era and no longer use orbital satellites. Moreover, each spacecraft launched lasts for hundreds of years, not just thirty days.
Everything develops over time.
The time we spent this time was already quite short.
Moreover, the first satellite we launched this time still has many tasks to perform.
Apart from related scientific exploration missions.
For us, the most intuitive thing is to capture the complete outline of this planet.
Although it can't achieve meter-level high-definition images, it at least allows us to see exactly how many continents there are on this planet.
After the successful launch of this first satellite.
After that, we will enter a phase of high-frequency satellite launches.
We will complete the construction of a global communications satellite system.
This is very important for us as we enter the information age. Zhao Chen has already begun to imagine what the future holds.
Few people noticed the launch of this rocket.
In this era, no one will notice that a satellite has drifted overhead.
"What's the situation in the Kingdom of Aalborg right now?"
"Oh right, it should be called the Aalborg Federation now, right?"
"That's right, in addition to its own main body, the Aalborg Federation now has nearly ten king bodies joining it."
It mainly refers to the kingdom's cities along the St. Luce River.
Now most of the St. Luz River area is under the control of the Aalborg Federation, the waterway is safe and operating normally.
They are very busy right now.
The military is working hard to expand its forces.
They continuously recruit new soldiers from all aspects.
In terms of people's livelihood, the newly incorporated kingdoms should also find ways to promote the Aalborg Federation system, so that the people can gradually accept the existence of the Aalborg Federation and appreciate its benefits.
This is the only way to consolidate the rule of the Aalborg Federation.
There is also related industrial production work.
Because of the previous battles, they had consumed a lot of ammunition.
So we are currently working hard to get production going.
In addition, the Kingdom of Gebuchi has not been relieved of its responsibilities due to the previous defeat in the Battle of Nikebin Town.
This caused other kingdoms to begin to doubt the strength of the Gebuchi Kingdom.
Therefore, if the Kingdom of Gebuchi wants to secure the position it has worked so hard to establish, it must regain face from the Aalborg Federation on the battlefield.
They began to assemble their elite forces on a large scale.
This time, it is estimated that nearly a million troops will be mobilized.
"A million-strong army is a bit frightening."
Is Chu Xuan confident?
"Do you need our help?" Zhao Chen asked with concern.
The secretary of Little Chicken Island replied, "Marshal Chu Xuan has returned with the news."
Everything is still under their control.
The allied forces of the Kingdom of Gebuchi are nothing to fear.
In addition, the Kingdom of Baljik is also trying to contact them, seemingly seeking an opportunity to form an alliance.
The Baljik Kingdom suffered considerable losses on the main battlefield.
I thought I would be gradually devoured by the Kingdom of Gebuchi.
Now that the Aalborg Federation has finally appeared as a lifeline, naturally we have to seize it.
After Zhao Chen heard all this...
He squinted and said, "How are those two doing?"
We have already created such a great opportunity for them.
If they still don't show any improvement, then I'll really be disappointed.
The secretary of Chicken Island said with a slight smile, "Those two are very hardworking."
During this period of internal turmoil in the Baljik Kingdom, they secretly seized control of a large number of troops and territories.
It appears that the royal family of the Baljik Kingdom is still in power.
But in reality, they had already seized control of the military forces below.
"Now, with just one order, they could seize control of the entire Baljik Kingdom."
"Um.
That's about it.
The Baljik Kingdom is an old kingdom.
But the foundation remains.
It would take far too long for him to completely destroy himself.
Let's give them a helping hand.
Pass on the message to them.
We told them we couldn't wait any longer.
Whether they are qualified to continue cooperating with us depends on their next actions.
"yes!"
Baljik Kingdom
Pedro Estate
A radio station here received a message, and the person who saw the message immediately ran outside.
All the way to the Duke's office.
"Duke."
"We've received a message from the JF-17."
Viscount Dacroix stepped forward, took the note from the man, and glanced at its contents.
He stared at the other person: "Besides you, no one else has seen the contents of this note, right?"
"Don't worry, sir."
As you instructed, I will be responsible for all information related to the JF-17 Thunder.
No one but me has ever touched this note!
"Alright, you may leave."
The door closed.
Viscount Dacroix walked into the desk with the note and placed it in front of Duke Pedro.
"A message from the King of the Dragon King."
He meant he was forcing us to take action.
Duke Pedro looked at the information on the note.
He smiled helplessly: "This Dragon King is truly beyond imagination."
We used to think we'd found a money tree.
But now it seems that what we've found is not just a simple money tree.
They are behind the Kingdom of Aalborg.
They are the ones who support us.
Those powerful weapons, those armies.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, there would also have been secret letters from the royal family of the Kingdom of Aalborg.
I find it hard to believe that the Dragon King has accomplished so much in such a short time.
"Your Majesty the Duke.
We need to make a decision.
We have no other choice now.
The Baljik Kingdom is now a mere shell of its former self.
The various dukes held military power and became independent.
The army directly controlled by the royal family had already suffered heavy losses in the previous battles with the Kingdom of Gebuchi.
They are now completely powerless to fight.
If it weren't for the Kingdom of Aalborg suddenly appearing.
I estimate that our Baljik Kingdom has long since fallen apart.
Since these things were bound to happen sooner or later.
Why can't we be the ones who drive history forward?
"Your Excellency Duke Pedro, make your decision!"
Viscount Dacroix stared at Duke Pedro.
Duke Pedro sighed.
He knew he had no other choice now; sitting in his current position, he had no chance to stop.
You either keep moving forward, or you get eliminated by others.
"Let's begin our operation."
"Yes!" Viscount Dacroix's eyes shone with excitement.
He never imagined that he, a businessman, could reach this point in just a few short years.
He will determine the fate of the Baljik Kingdom.
He left the duke's residence and immediately summoned his confidants.
These trusted confidants were dispersed immediately.
One order after another was passed down.
Everything seemed peaceful on this night.
But this peace was soon shattered.
The soldiers standing guard at the city gate of the Kingdom of Baljik saw some large creatures emerging from the darkness in the distance, accompanied by a rumbling sound.
"Who's there!" The soldier immediately took out a searchlight and shone it over.
This is quite something.
Tanks, armored vehicles, and fully armed troops.
"Make way, make way."
This place has been taken over by us.
Anyone who resists with force will be considered a traitor to the kingdom!
This army directly blasted open the city gate with tanks.
The tanks and armored vehicles drove directly onto the city roads.
As for the soldiers, they obediently dropped their weapons and raised their hands.
They knew that things were about to change here tonight.
This kind of situation is also happening at other city gates.
Almost simultaneously, all the city gates of the royal city were brought under control.
The sounds of battle echoed through the royal city.
Explosions, gunshots, and flames.
Even the most oblivious ordinary people know that something big has happened outside.
They obediently held their children and hid in their house.
The only safe place now is inside the house.
Almost no one slept that night.
Within the royal city.
The elderly king looked at the soldiers who had stormed into his palace, with his wife and children behind him.
Pedro.
"What do you want to do!" The old king looked at Duke Pedro, who had walked up to him, with an incredulous expression.
Duke Pedro opened his arms and looked around.
Isn't that obvious enough?
Am I here to visit His Majesty the King in the middle of the night?
Your Majesty, you have sat on the throne of the Kingdom of Baljik long enough.
It's time to abdicate.
Upon hearing Duke Pedro's words, the old king, though somewhat expecting it, still showed a look of horror and anger: "Pedro, how dare you betray the royal family!"
"betray?
No, I am simply leading the Baljik Kingdom toward a brighter future.
Moreover, in terms of bloodline, I also possess a bit of royal blood.
One-eighth?
Or a quarter?
I can't remember.
In short, the throne is now mine.
Duke Pedro removed the crown from the old king's head, preparing to wear it on his own.
But the movement stopped at that moment.
He put down the crown he was holding and handed it to Viscount Dacroix beside him.
"You keep this crown safe and then deliver it to King Xiaolong."
Viscount Dacroix glanced at Duke Pedro and accepted the crown with both hands.
He knew that Duke Pedro was calm and knew his own position and the position of the Dragon King very well.
Although he now effectively controls most of the Baljik Kingdom.
However, both this crown and this position require the permission of that dragon king.
Even if it's just this little detail.
"As for His Majesty the old king..."
If you are willing to cooperate with me.
After the edict of abdication is issued first thing tomorrow morning.
"I also have a nice estate where you can retire comfortably," Duke Pedro said with a smile.
Although the old king was furious, he knew he had no other choice.
If the other party lets you go, they will imprison you forever.
"Where are my wife and children?" the old king asked weakly.
Duke Pedro looked at the people behind the old king.
There was the old king's beautiful wife.
There are also several princesses and princes.
"Don't worry, I don't have any perverse hobbies."
Your wives and princesses may accompany you.
As for your children.
I will ensure their safety for the time being.
But they can't be with you anymore.
"They need to see another esteemed person," Duke Pedro said with a smile.
The old king clenched his fists, but now he had no chance to resist.
that's all.
The following day, the old king of the Baljik Kingdom announced his abdication, handing over his position to his cousin, Duke Pedro.
As for whether this cousin's identity has just been confirmed or not, no one will delve into it at this time.
The Duke of Pedro indicated that he would temporarily take over the position.
And at the very first moment this happened.
War broke out in the territories of several other dukes.
Some dukes were shot dead by the army before they could even take action.
However, some highly vigilant dukes urgently dispatched their own troops and engaged in a fierce battle with the troops that had suddenly attacked them.
At the same time, the Aalborg Federation announced an alliance with the Baljik Grid, which is now ruled by Duke Pedro.
When this news arrived, the nobles who had previously harbored some reservations immediately settled down and stayed.
Internally, Duke Pedro now commands the majority of the military force.
It also has the Aalborg Federation as an ally on the outside.
Therefore, almost no one can rival the Duke of Pedro now.
The Kingdom of Baljik has officially welcomed a new monarch!
