Chapter 676 (2/2)
After that, Su Cheng told Jacob exactly what Albert had just told him about Jacob's past when he was young.
After hearing Su Cheng's words, Jacob smiled a few times:
”Ha ha ha, you already know what happened when I was young?”
”Yes, I did have the nickname 'sword saint' when I was young, but I don't like the title.”
”Because I think this title is too exaggerated. It's all nonsense by bards. I know very well that my sword skills are not exquisite enough to be called 'sword saint'.”
Then Jacob spread out the palm of his right hand.
After Jacob spread out the palm of his right hand, Su Cheng finally found that Jacob's right hand was the same as Eliza's right hand. The palm was full of calluses left by practicing fencing hard.
Jacob shook the palm of his right hand a few times:
”Before gozewen ascended the throne, that is, the time when the former Emperor reigned, it was the time when the national strength of our britannian empire was at its weakest...”
”At that time, I thought what our country lacked was excellent knights.”
”So I practiced swordsmanship hard, collected and studied books that taught people how to fight.”
”But when I joined the army, I slowly found that our country does not lack excellent knights.”
”We britannians are a warrior nation, and there has never been a lack of excellent knights who can win wars.”
”At that time, I finally found that what our empire lacked was excellent civil servants.”
”The civil servants are incompetent. How can the Knights be good at war? What's the use?”
”When I finally woke up, I resolutely quit the knight I just got and became a civil servant.”
”After so many years of efforts, it has finally paid off. The political situation is no longer so corrupt, and there are more and more outstanding people like bancro and Humphrey. ”
Speaking of this, Jacob lowered his eyes slightly, turned up the corner of his left mouth slightly, and his face showed a happy color.
”I don't have many wishes in my life.”
”I have worked hard for more than 40 years for one thing: to make the British Empire rich and strong again, and to make the British Empire dominate the mainland as it did 200 years ago.”
Speaking of this, Jacob paused.
Then he put on a half joking tone:
”If you want to achieve this goal, you can't do without your help, Mr. Cheng.”
”Mr. Cheng, you are also the third leader in the military circles of our empire. In terms of status, the whole empire can't find several people with higher status than you.”
”Without the help of a big man like Mr. Cheng, it would be much harder to achieve this goal.”
”So - Mr. Cheng, you should help me a lot.”
After hearing Jacob's words, Su Cheng was a little stunned.
Then he smiled:
”Mr. Jacob, you have many identities in my eyes.”
”You are not only my superior, but also my benefactor. At the same time... You are also a father.”
Speaking of this, Su Cheng raised his hand and scratched his hair.
”It may be strange for me to say so, but I have always regarded Mr. Jacob as your father.”
”Whether it's from the rational level of subordinates obeying their superiors or from the emotional level of respecting you as a father, I will support and help you, Mr. Jacob.”
”Support Mr. Jacob to complete this great cause that makes the britannian Empire rich and strong again!”
