Founding of the 128 Federal Army (2)
early morning.
Bank officials came to the Second Royal Palace in Rietterkirk where Lee Hwan was living.
Lee Hwan was living between the Netherlands and the mainland on a regular basis, and whenever he moved, the entire continent shook.
To that extent, Lee Hwan used the time he moved as if it were a huge event to disperse his troops or moved assets.
Although it attracts the most attention, it was used as the best means to disguise something.
“Let us set up commercial banks in Panama and Suez.”
“A commercial bank?”
“Instead of keeping all your information private, you deposit your money and set up a secure bank that charges a license fee.”
“It’s a secure bank!”
The establishment of a security bank was an institution that had to be established even for Lee Hwan’s private money.
Until now, there was no reason to raise a slush fund, but from now on, it was necessary to fight the spirit of the neighboring powers.
“No matter how powerful our Easterfield Kingdom army may be to rule the continent, secret financing is essential. So let’s set up secure finances for that.”
“Yes, I understand. So, why don’t we just set up banks in Panama and Suez?”
“Establish a foundation in those two regions and set up a foundation in Switzerland and the Netherlands.”
Today’s Switzerland is only a small part of the Austrian Empire, but their potential is enormous.
In the future, Yi Hwan tried to make it a financial mecca and broker the funds of the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Security banks will also play a large role as intermediaries.
“How long will it take to establish?”
“One month is enough. However, it will take some time to build the foundation after establishment depending on what you will do with this hot water in the future.”
“We will build canals in Suez and Panama in the future, and financial zones in Switzerland.”
“When it comes to financial districts, are you referring to areas like East Bank?”
“Yes. Just like Eastbank, it’s just creating a region for finance.”
East Bank, which was created due to territorial disputes in North America in the past, has established itself as the largest financial district in the international community.
Not only the United States, but also countries in the United States and even European wealthy people flocked to the East Bank to become a de facto financial center.
Lee Hwan is trying to coordinate Europe and Asia by creating another financial center in Switzerland.
In order to carry out such a massive plan, a penny or two would not be enough to cover it, so Lee Hwan was going to take the scale as much as possible.
“Make it as large as possible, and as freely as possible to enable immediate mobilization of funds.”
“Yes, I understand. It is expected to take about three months.”
“great. Implement it.”
After Lee Hwan’s order had been issued, Easterfield’s financiers were sure to set up a secure bank at all costs.
This time, construction officials came to Lee Hwan, who ordered the establishment of a security bank.
“Your Majesty, I ask the construction authorities to attend an audience.”
“Listen.”
Easterfield was a unique structure in which the state was a corporation, and the East Stellar Construction Company belonged to the Ministry of Construction.
The Ministry of Construction, like an independent corporation, was playing the role of developing and accumulating construction knowledge and technology while leading overseas and domestic construction.
A construction company under the Ministry of Construction came to visit Lee Hwan.
“Your Majesty, I have brought you the results of the railway construction in the mainland that you ordered earlier.”
“Let’s take a look.”
On the mainland of Easterfield Kingdom, the largest civil engineering work was in progress, and as the construction of roads and railroads began in earnest, a huge amount of money was being transfused there.
The transportation of Easterfield Kingdom, which Lee Hwan thinks, is that there should be no place in the kingdom where railroads and roads are not connected.
So, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is vast, but it was inevitable that a huge amount of capital was required to connect the mainland of the Easterfield Kingdom vertically and horizontally.
However, the Kingdom of Easterfield is a country with well many times more gold than all European countries combined.

Money was no problem for Easterfield like that.
“It took one year to complete the railroad from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. The speed of the work is staggering.”
“The Ministry of Construction believes that if the railway is completed and activated as soon as possible, more goods can be created. That’s why we’re constructing the longitudinal railroad in the same way.”
The fact that it took only two years and six months to connect the entire western part of North America meant that a huge amount of manpower was needed.
This was something only Easterfield could do, and it will probably be unprecedented.
But this legend was just the beginning.
“I have summoned the lords here today to finally start building canals in Suez and Panama in earnest.”
“canal… … !”
“Until now, only preliminary work had been carried out, but now is the time to start the full-scale construction.”
“Ugh!”
“So from now on, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry will have to work hand in hand with the Ministry of Construction to procure materials.”
Easterfield had all the companies it needed to get the work done.
It was said that everything from mines or producers of raw materials to companies that produce raw materials, processors to process raw materials, and construction companies that build based on them, were all provided as infrastructure in the country.
For that reason, procuring a little more raw materials meant, in other words, expanding the size of the production area.
“Make sure to secure a mine so that we can procure limestone, which is the raw material for cement, and provide rebar, which is the frame of the building.”
“How are we going to finance that?”
“The Ministry of Finance has already started planning to establish a commercial bank. If the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry proceed with their work, we will be able to pay for the mine purchase with the royal palace’s private money.”
“Then we will implement it accordingly. I will bring the Minister of Commerce and Industry with me in a month or so.”
“Do it.”
Lee Hwan was standing still in the Netherlands, deliberately not moving.
He was staying in the Netherlands instead of heading to North America to procure materials for this construction and to consider when the workforce would move.
Perhaps the day he moves, the full-scale construction will begin.
***
A large crowd gathered for the coronation ceremony of the Queen of the Netherlands in March 1830.
Lee Hwan attended the coronation ceremony as King of Easterfield and husband of the Queen of the Netherlands.
Beep baba baba night!
In the presence of delegations from each country, Elizabeth and Lee Hwan appeared holding hands and stepping on a red carpet.
“Elizabeth I, ruler of the Netherlands, appears. Queen, watch over us Holland!”
“Look down on me!”
Elizabeth wore a crown symbolizing the king on her head, and held up a scepter and an orb with a cross on it.
Then the servants knelt before her.
“I, Elizabeth I, as the defender of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, swear to faithfully fulfill that role.”
“Glory and blessing to the Queen!”
Lee Hwan also bowed his head in front of her as the husband of the queen, not the king of a country today.
Soon there was a congratulatory speech announcing her accession.
“With this, Elizabeth I has been crowned.”
“Wow!”
Now, the long and long issue of Elizabeth’s succession to the throne has finally come to an end.
At her coronation ceremony, a golden box of her mother, the Austrian Empire, was delivered, and the amount was more than enough to create a kingdom.
All of Elizabeth’s family knelt on one knee and cried out to her.
“Blessings to the Queen!”
“I wish you all blessings as well.”
In particular, her mother, Princess Georgiana of Luxembourg, shed tears.
She was worried about how her daughter would protect the throne in the future and whether she would be able to withstand the storms of those years in the political world.
“… … I sincerely wish you the best of blessings.”
“Blessings may come from you, Princess Georgia.”
Elizabeth did not lose her smile despite her mother’s tears.
From now on, she was not her mother’s daughter, nor was she the wife of a man.
Before being a woman, she had to rule as a king.
The coronation ceremony, which lasted 3 days and 2 nights, ended with great success, and Lee Hwan and Elizabeth had their first Hapgung.
Of course, the two of them already knew each other so well that they even matched each other, so in a strict sense, it should be called a hapgung ceremony.
After one round of hapbung, the two lay on the bed naked.
“… … Today was good.”
“me too.”
If we were to express the compatibility between the two in numerical terms, we would say 100% of course.
Lee Hwan had never heard of such a good fit in bed in his life, so his satisfaction could not be expressed in words.
Two people lying together and looking at the ceiling.
“I can’t believe I’m the king.”
“From now on, you will have to adapt. At first, I thought I was going to die because it was awkward.”
Now, the couple is in a relationship where they share difficulties that they can’t share with anyone.
To that extent, they became inseparable from a physical relationship as well as mentally.
Lee Hwan now tells her what to do as a business partner.
“I decided to set up a commercial bank in Suez. I would stock up on my hot water there, and I think diamonds from Africa can be washed that way.”
“It’s a commercial bank. So does our common fund also accumulate there?”
“It’s like that.”
“Hmm, who knows?”
“Once the Ministry of Finance has instructed the establishment of commercial banks, they must be aware of it. But, I don’t think we’re going to get our joint funds coming in.”
Although their money is already being laundered in Egypt’s precious metals market, Lee Hwan wanted to have a stronger slush fund route.
So that the couple can use the funds whenever they need it.
She seemed to like Lee Hwan’s plan quite a bit.
“I was upset because I thought that it would cost a lot of money to reorganize the Dutch army in the future, but it turned out well.”
“Oh really, that’s right. It was also important to reorganize the Dutch army.”
The Netherlands grew rapidly as the East Stellar Company grew, but its foundation was considerably lost due to Lee Hwan’s independence.
Among them, there was, of course, the problem of the military.
“Hmm, then why not share the army for a while in the form of a federal army with the Austrian Empire?”
“Sharing the military?”
“It costs a lot of money to reorganize the army, but conscription and training are more of a problem than that, right?”
“Well, that’s it.”
“If it’s the Austrian Empire, it’s my parents’ family, so wouldn’t it be easier to build an army?”
After hearing Lee Hwan’s story, Elizabeth fell into deep trouble.
This is because, no matter how close their parents are, they now have a different point of view because it is a completely different country.
“If blood was important, Europe would not have been at war. But Europe was constantly under fire. It must be because the frame of the country overwhelms blood ties.”
“Are you saying that the Austrian Empire is also hard to believe 100%?”
“It’s like that.”
She decided to think from a slightly different perspective.
“How about borrowing some mercenaries from Easterfield for a while?”
