Frankish Empire, Berlu, Palace.

"...My Majesty...Your Majesty...!Your Majesty!"

Xia De heard someone calling him.

So he hurriedly opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught Xia De's eye after opening his eyes was the old face of Prime Minister Elvin.

"It's Erwin..."

Xia De raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"I fell asleep again accidentally..."

"Ervin, what time is it now?"

Erwin opened his pocket watch.

“At 21:32 pm…”

"That's it...it's still early...it's work for a while."

"His Majesty……"

Elvin looked at Shade with a look of worry.

"Please be sure to pay attention to your health..."

Xia De was halfway through work just now and was so tired that he fell asleep on the table.

And this is not the first time Xia De has done this...

Shade smiled slightly at Elvin.

"Ervin, my own body, I have my own numbers."

"This level of fatigue won't make me fall down."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this, don't waste your precious time."

After saying that, Xia De opened the documents beside him and continued to look through them.

Three years ago, after the "Nibelungen Plan" failed and was defeated by the Britannian Empire, the Frank Empire fell into an unprecedented state of weakness since its founding.

The Royal Fleet was completely destroyed and the army was lost. Only Allen, the four generals involved in the Nibelungen plan, came back.

After suffering such a heavy blow, it is not impossible for the direct destruction of the Frank Empire...

Fortunately, Xia De barely maintained the integrity of the empire with his extraordinary energy and skills, and did not directly collapse the empire.

After the defeat of the "Nipelungen Project", the first thing Xia De did was to treat the remnants who fled back and not hold them accountable for their defeat.

After Allen fled back to China, Shade not only did not punish Allen, but also granted Allen a noble, allowing Allen to completely get rid of the civilian body.

From then on, Allen's name was no longer "Alan Jones", but "Alan von Jones."

The reason why Xia De treated Allen well was not just to stabilize the morale of the army, but also to retain as many talents as possible for the empire.

After all three generals led by Walter were killed, the only generals who were useful in the Frank Empire were left...

Although the Frank Empire currently has other generals besides Allen.

But in terms of ability, the other generals are far inferior to Allen...

Over the past three years, with Xia De's efforts to keep his food and sleep, the Frank Empire has finally been maintained intact and has not collapsed.

But it is just barely maintaining the integrity of the country.

The economic, military and other aspects are still unsightly.

Especially military.

The loss of the Royal Fleet and a total of 500,000 troops not only seriously affected the military strength of the Frank Empire, but also severely affected the economic level of the Frank Empire.

It took three years, but the country's economy was unable to pull out of the quagmire.

If the economy fails to recover, there is no way to talk about the recovery of the country's military power.

After all, only after you have money can you build an army.

After experiencing a major defeat three years ago, in order to allow the country to survive this unprecedented difficult period, Xia De had to lay off some of his troops.

This made the military strength of the country, which had already lost 500,000 troops, even weaker.

Ace military forces such as the Iron Armor Paladin and the Holy Armor will not have the opportunity to rebuild for a long time to come.

At present, the Frank Empire, including those second-line troops stationed in various remote interiors with weak combat power, have only a total force of just over 200,000.

Such a number of troops - to put it bluntly, the defense of each front is as crisp as a piece of paper.

If the four knights of the Britannian Empire launch an assault on the east bank of the Rhine, the four knights can easily break through their line and directly hit their mainland.

Fortunately, since the war ended three years ago, the people of the East have focused on invasion and harassment against the Holy Hillan Empire.

The Holy Sheeran Empire in the North and they are allies.

The only thing to worry about is the Western Britannian Empire...

Shade originally thought that the Britannian Empire suffered a great damage in the war three years ago. In the short term, it should not launch an attack on their Frank Empire and pose a threat to them.

However - Shade underestimated Ilsa's ability and courage.

Ilsa's luck was also underestimated.

Xia De never expected that Ilsa was so lucky to get the help of a genius politician.

With the assistance of Camille, Ilsa brought her amazing courage to the extreme, and by taking back the fiefs of the vassals and establishing plantations, the Britannian Empire restored its national strength in a very short time.

Not only has the national strength been restored, but the national strength level has even surpassed the level before the war began three years ago.

Since then, Xia De has lived in fear almost every day and night.

He was afraid that when he was sleeping on one night, he suddenly learned that the millions of troops of the Britannian Empire had crossed the Rhine River and launched a full-scale attack on their Frank Empire.

With the current difference in national strength between the two countries, the Frank army could not stop the Britannian army's military advance.

Fortunately, the Britannian Empire, which is currently in power, did not immediately extend its fangs to its Frank Empire.

Instead, the war was poured out to the Rolling Empire first.

The Britannian Empire is currently focusing on the war against the Rolling Empire. In the short term, it should not be like any other way to his Frank Empire.

Although Xia De felt relieved, he still felt like his chest was blocked with a pile of big stones.

After all - his Frank Empire is only safer for the time being.

When the war in the south is over, the Britannian Empire might have to devote all its energy to the siege of his Frankish Empire.

Shade did not think how long the war in the south of the Britannian Empire could last.

Xia De knew very well what the current state of the Luolin Empire was.

Under the fierce attack of the Britannian Empire, the Rolling Empire could not last long - Xia De has been so sure.

Xia De was still unable to sleep or eat, and again and again forced his body to handle various government affairs.

Only by constantly handling government affairs can Xia De's anxious heart be liberated.

...

...

After putting the finished document in hand aside, Xia De pulled out another new document from the "Secretary Mountain" next to him.

As soon as his eyes were cast, Xia De couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Because the content recorded in this document is Xia De's favorite content forever.
