1 Chapter 1 Grand Duke of Nord: Ragnar III  

  Zhang Jun was awakened by the quarrel of a group of people. He opened his eyes full of anger and was about to scold this group of people without public morality, but the moment he looked over, Time seems to stand still...

  A completely western-style room, a double bed filled with soft velvet, luxurious crystal lamps, marble floors, and of course the dozen or so formal blond-haired European and American middle-aged men in black suits in the room, All of this made him very strange, and at the same time somewhat unbelievable.

  If there is no accident, after waking up, he should be in the dormitory where six people live together, not such a magnificent room with golden walls. Not to mention other things, even the small desk lamp at hand is probably equivalent to all his assets.

  The anger turned into timidity, there was no way, the absolute economic suppression turned Zhang Jun into a bear in an instant, but this was normal, and whoever woke up in this situation would not dare to be casual again.

  "Your Highness, you have just been crowned, and there are still many things waiting for you to deal with, look..." Your

  Highness? Coronation? What does it mean?

  Staring blankly at the other party, Zhang Jun's mind was in a mess just for a moment, this, this can't be time travel! Moreover, the object of crossing looks very unusual! Taking a look at everything in the room, and the handsome middle-aged blond guy with a serious face in front of him, Zhang Jun couldn't help thinking.

  And just when Zhang Jun didn't know how to answer, there was a sharp pain in his mind, and then a large amount of information poured in, Zhang Jun's somewhat immature face gradually became hideous, seeing this appearance, the stern-faced middle-aged blonde A gleam of joy flashed in the handsome man's eyes. Of course, the joy disappeared quickly, replaced by panic, and hurriedly sent someone to call the doctor.

  The ferocity on Zhang Jun's face didn't last for too long, and he returned to normal before the doctor came. However, Zhang Jun at this time was slightly different from before. If you observe carefully, you can see that the expression in his eyes is very complicated.

  At this moment, it can be confirmed that he is indeed time-traveling, and the object of time-traveling is still 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 ​​only 20 square kilometers.

  Europe is rich? Even if it only has one-fifth of the area of ​​Paris, a population of more than 2,000 is enough to make a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire? In fact, this is not the case. History is slightly different in this world. It is now 1980, but... the World War II in Europe has just ended, and the mighty Germany was defeated only last year.

  The damage caused by the war was huge. In fact, when the Principality of Nord was first established before World War II, the population of the country had already exceeded 100,000, and the area covered hundreds of square kilometers. Unfortunately, the war suddenly came when the national power was booming, and the mighty German Empire was destroyed. When falling to France, by the way, occupy the small country on the west coast of France with less than 3,000 soldiers.

  The Grand Duke Ragnar I of the Principality of Nord had to flee around with the French government. Zhang Jun should thank God and the gods and Buddhas in the sky, otherwise, if he was reborn on Ragnar I, wouldn't he be unlucky?

  When the original owner of this body was born, they were still on the run, but the Grand Duke of Nord who fled was not Ragnar I but the father of this body, Ragnar II, a kind, gambling playboy.

  In the fifth year after the original owner of Zhang Jun's body was born, the German Empire collapsed with the help of the United States, and the governments in exile of various countries returned to their own countries again and regained control of all powers such as finances and military affairs.

  For Ragnar II, perhaps there is nothing more joyful than regaining his own country, but when he was happily preparing to live his royal life, various cumbersome things were in front of him.

  The Principality of Nord was actually not damaged too much by the group of German soldiers, but even this was enough to embarrass Ragnar II. He is not a French president with a lot of money and a group of capitalists, nor is he an old empire with great influence. When the royal family took over the country, his entire net worth was only over 300,000 pounds.

  More than 300,000 pounds is already a lot at this time, but it is a drop in the bucket in a country. The angry Ragnar II cursed the group of Germans who took away all the taxes every day. If it weren't for them, his life wouldn't be so embarrassing. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation at this time. All in all, if the Germans didn't take away the money, he wouldn't be a pauper or even There is no money available to rebuild the country's role as ruler.

  During the two years when he was actually the ruler, the only thing Ragnar II did was to repair the palace and rebuild the hospital, primary and secondary schools. This was also the main reason why the Ragnar family was able to barely maintain its current status.

  The little guy possessed by Zhang Jun is just eight years old this year, but at the age of eight, he is already the actual ruler of this country, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Nord, His Royal Highness Joseph Ragnar III.

  After reading the memories in his mind, Zhang Jun or Ragnar III couldn't help but take a look at the serious blond middle-aged handsome man, the temporary prime minister of the Principality of Nord who came from France.

  For France, these small countries around them make them very distressed, as if they are stuck there, but the feasibility of incorporating them into France is very low. After all, these countries are recognized by all countries and are truly sovereign countries. For this reason, they came up with a compromise method, arranged for various administrative talents to go there, and tried to find a way to empty their royal family.

  This is a conspiracy, and Ragnar II couldn't see it when he was in office? But he can't help it, but in a country with a population of more than 2,000, where do so many administrative talents come from, and the finances are not rich, these French prime ministers and ministers are all paid by the French government, invisibly for the Principality of Nord Save a lot of financial expenditure.

  Elevating the royal family of the Principality of Nord is only the ultimate goal. Many things still need to be dealt with by Ragnar III, that is, Joseph. After all, the Ragnar family still has a group of loyal people and the plan has just been implemented. The orders of the French Prime Minister could not leave the Grand Duke's residence at all.

  Joseph's gaze was meaningful. Kress had seen such gaze in Ragnar II's eyes many times, and it contained distrust and warning. Thinking of this, Kress couldn't help but feel like laughing dumbfounded. How could it be possible that the other party is just an eight-year-old child. What does an eight-year-old child know?

  "Kress, let James come in."

  Hearing Joseph's words, Kress couldn't help being taken aback, seeing James? It took me two years to gain Joseph's favor, but now the first person I want to see when I wake up is James. Reminiscent of the gaze just now, James always feels that something is wrong.

  Kress stood there in a daze and did not move, but his not moving did not mean that the others did not move either. The guard who had been standing on the side of the bed, dressed in a German military uniform, saluted Joseph respectfully and then trotted out the door.

  Joseph ignored the guards but looked at the middle-aged men in the neat suits in the room. According to his memory, he recognized the Minister of Education, Foreign Minister, Health Minister, Transport Minister, and several other cabinet members of the Principality of Nord. , these people have one characteristic, that is, they are all French officials.

  How can a country with only two thousand people need so many departments, and these departments are all in the hands of the French. Isn't the Grand Duke Joseph already emptied? First of all, the Principality of Nord does not need so many departments, but this is also a deliberate effort by the French government. The purpose is to disperse some powers to facilitate the overhead of the Nord royal family, and what they need to pay is only the salary of a dozen people. Compared with the return It doesn't seem like a big deal.

  As for the overhead, don't look at them controlling so many departments, but the finances are still in Joseph's hands, and overhead is not just about controlling a few departments. Now is a new era, and people's hearts are everything. The main purpose of these people is to weaken House Ragnar's influence in Nord.

  If Joseph wanted to, he could dismiss this cabinet at any time, and the law gave him this right. In Nord, he was the real and well-deserved controller, although the controller was only eight years old now.

  Kress did not speak, how could the ministers of other departments have the qualifications to speak? And they didn't know what to say, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with Joseph waking up to see James. After all, James was the housekeeper of the Grand Duke's mansion, and their ancestors followed behind the Ragnar family.

  James is in the corridor. As the most influential figure in Nord except Joseph, he shouldn't be outside the door, but James is loyal and at the same time can't help being a bit pedantic. In his cognition, the room Since they are all members of the cabinet, the discussion is naturally about state affairs. How can he participate in it as a butler?

  "Housekeeper James, His Highness let you go."

  Hearing the guard's words, I finally put down my worries, but at the same time, I was also a little puzzled. Why did His Highness let me go at this time?

  Without hesitation, when James hurried in, the slightly awkward atmosphere in the room instantly became more active, and even Kress couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  "Your Highness, are you in better health?"

  Yesterday was Joseph's coronation ceremony. After all, he was only an eight-year-old boy. His physical strength could not keep up and he fell ill on the bed as soon as he came back. Fortunately, his condition was not serious, otherwise Nuo The Duchy of Germany is by no means in such a situation. His Royal Highness II had just died suddenly and His Highness III was seriously ill. It is no wonder that Nord is not in a mess.

  Slightly nodded to James to indicate that he was fine, and then Joseph did not talk to James as Kress imagined, but asked him: "Kress, I am going to let Robert serve as the defense officer. Minister, what do you think?"

  Joseph's inquiry came as a surprise to Kress, which is a good thing. You must know that although Nord does not have many troops, the Ministry of Defense is the most important department, and it can be controlled in its own hands. He was naturally extremely happy, but being careful as a politician, he didn't dare to agree easily, nor would he express his true inner thoughts, so he saluted respectfully: "I will obey Your Highness's wish."

  He didn't say what he meant, but just said that I will do what you say. Kress, who can't see through Joseph's thoughts, can only take one step at a time, and the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth.

  "Then it's decided! Robert is Secretary of Defense and . . . James is Minister of Foreign Affairs."

  Huh? Kress and James looked up at the same time, with surprised expressions on their faces. Neither of them thought that Joseph would make such a decision suddenly.
