"So, to sum up, I think that we have all the necessary conditions to attack the barbarians and are well prepared. At this time, what we are facing is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity -"
"Every distinguished member of the kingdom here, please think about our war prospects. We will get more land, instead of living in the barren land, this desolate corner that cannot allow us to continue to grow."
"If our attack effectively restrains the barbarians' strategy, the war situation on our home planet will develop in a direction more beneficial to us humans. Then, the barbarians may fail, or they may fall into the vortex of war and be unable to extricate themselves.
Just like the thousand-year war between China and the barbarians."
"In that case, we will never worry that they will use their hands to deal with us. Those lands will always belong to us, to the kingdom, to mankind. Under such a prospect and such an opportunity, what reason do we have not to unite as one
, fight against the barbarians together?”
…
"Now, our Chinese army is ready. All we need is the kingdom's necessary logistical support and some military supplements. But what the kingdom will get is large tracts of fertile land - yes, I can even represent China
Make a promise and sign the document. We are only for revenge, not for the land."
The girl on the stage spoke with great sincerity, and her speech gradually became more and more passionate. She even made many targeted modifications to the speech draft against her will during countless revisions, referring to the interests mentioned by Xie Ning.
This is indeed a wonderful prospect.
However, many members of Congress in the audience looked either cold or indifferent.
…
Xie Ning carefully stroked the soft hair of the little hotpot that had turned back into a puppy so that he could bring it into the venue, but secretly sighed in his heart.
Girl Lin, you didn't mention revenge or worries about your home planet. You only tempted them with benefits. This is right.
But girl, maybe you will never know. No matter how beautiful the picture is, it is still a confusing prospect for those old fried dough sticks. It will never bring more temptation than the actual annexation of my Chinese descendants...
The war between the barbarians and our mountains and seas will have to be postponed for at least a few years. Their intention is to seize the war benefits there after obtaining my Chinese descendants... Both the barbarians and the mountains and seas
The benefits after bleeding to an extremely high level... safer and greater... benefits.
Xie Ning looked at the end of her speech and quietly sat back in the auditorium in front of her. Lin Qi, who was waiting for the final vote of the parliament, was thinking silently.
~~~~~~~~~
Lin Qi's face was a little pale.
The parliament is voting, but until now... her motion has only received one vote in favor!
One vote in favor, four abstentions, fifteen votes against...
Her heart had dropped heavily.
"Now, please let the last member of the Kingdom express your views and vote. Duke Himmler, after explaining your reasons for voting, please cast a valuable vote that represents your wishes. Please use your words carefully and choose carefully.
Your every word and every vote will determine the future governance and will of the kingdom."
On the stage, the speaker knocked the gavel in his hand indifferently and spoke slowly in a stylized tone.
…
"Dear Speaker, I admit that Commander Lin has painted a wonderful scene for us, but I still oppose the motion. My reasons have been explained in detail by the gentlemen before me."
"Yes, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We are fully prepared and have sufficient strength. But a huge crack always lies within us, making every move we make extremely difficult.
"
"So, although we really want to do this, for the sake of the safety of the kingdom, we can't hand over all the country's army to the hands of the Chinese. You know, they still don't recognize the orthodox status of the kingdom, and even expelled our officials
.We once proposed a beautiful way to try to bridge the relationship between the two parties, but unfortunately, we were rejected several times."
Himmler spoke impassionedly, but in the end, he glanced at Lin Qi who was sitting silently in his seat. A proud smile quickly crossed the corner of his mouth.
~~~~~~~~~
Lin Qi lowered her head and walked slowly on the square in front of the parliament hall, followed by Xie Ning.
The girl's face was a little pale. She walked silently. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she always felt a little dazed.
Or...did it fail...?
I know that it is difficult to convince them, and I also know that what Lei Feng said is right...
but……
Perhaps, he has been growing up in the mountains. He has never experienced the bone-gnawing pain of losing a loved one, nor has he ever had the lingering longing for his homeland. Therefore, he will never understand what...
There should be a way... There must be something else that I haven't thought of... How can we get them to send troops...
The girl bit her lower lip and looked at Xie Ning silently. Her expression was full of sadness, but... she was still stubborn.
…
In front of the two people, a group of people were walking over.
"Hey, Lin, it's really you." Sartre looked at the girl and his eyes lit up. He quickly got out of the crowd and came to greet Lin Qi.
"Oh, Lin, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that the parliament still rejected our proposal. Yes, I was the one who voted in favor of our proposal. I have been supporting this proposal these past few days.
Running and shouting. But it looks like, oh, dear Lin, I'm sorry, I seem to have failed."
Sartre held his head in frustration.
"Really?" Lin Qi stopped, but looked at Sartre lightly.
…
"Yes, that's it, of course."
Sartre suddenly became even more frustrated and said: "Lin, as you know, there is a generally helpless thought among congressmen - they dare not and cannot hand over all their military power to you, who they cannot fully trust."
"I have tried my best to persuade them, but the effect may not be very good now. Oh, God, I even vouched for you with my life and honor. But those cautious politicians are still stubborn
Hold their perspective.”
He shrugged, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"So, how can they trust me?" Lin Yi asked lightly.
"Oh, Lin. Maybe I shouldn't say this. Just like you, in fact, I don't want some pure things to be contaminated with less pure colors..."
Sartre's tone suddenly hesitated: "They... they always believe that they will only trust the prince and concubine of the kingdom, not the simple commander of China who has no close relationship with us."
"Is that so? Is this okay?"
Lin Qi looked at Sartre, she nodded and smiled softly.
…
Sartre's expression suddenly changed.
God, in the face of my carefully designed cold reaction from the parliament, will this proud swan finally succumb to reality? Could it be that today I pressed the last straw that broke the camel's back?
He was already elated: "Yes. Lin. You know, I even fiercely and resolutely opposed this matter. My feelings for you are sincere and pure. But things like that will make me feel The feelings have been tainted in some ways that they shouldn’t be! Yes, tainted!”
"But in view of the royal family's prestige and huge influence, they stubbornly believe that this must be done in order to make them feel completely at ease. They even said that once this happens, the kingdom's military deployment can even be decided by you. But if there is no such thing Although it is a genius strategic idea, we obviously do not have the conditions to work together to attack the barbarians."
He couldn't wait to speak, and his tone was full of empathetic frustration and devilish temptation.
…
Xie Ning suddenly became anxious. Did this stupid girl really believe those lies? Or maybe she was in a critical condition and started to seek medical treatment randomly? God! I have made it clear to you, can you? Not so stubborn?
He took a step forward and was about to say something when he saw Lin Qi looking at Sartre silently. The smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
No one noticed that there was a deep... ridicule on the corner of the smiling girl's mouth.
"Your Highness Sartre. Maybe I am indeed stupid in politics and maneuvering. But this does not mean that I am pedantic, nor does it mean that I am stupid. I will fall into your misleads - if you have even half the same desire for revenge and power as us. As you are worried about your homeland, I am afraid this bill has been passed long ago. At most, it has just been modified to eliminate your concerns."
"Because I cannot be completely trusted? Do I mind if your commander directs the war? Can't I assist him and advise him? Or, you actually suspect that my obtaining military power will be detrimental to you, and can have such a big impact? The magic power drives the Western Continent warriors under his command to wield swords against their compatriots?"
…
The girl's smile became stronger and stronger.
"So, are you sure that your so-called worries...are not a joke?"
"Your Highness Sartre, please stop using despicable tactics in the holy war, okay? This will only make me feel sick. Now, please get out of the way."
She smiled brightly, but said coldly.
Xie Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then took back the steps he took.
This girl scared me to death, so I said she couldn't be that stupid... With this plot of "being forced to do nothing, a mentally retarded girl desperately marries a shameless rich man", do you think you're writing a novel?
…
A trace of surprise and anger flashed in Sartre's eyes. He lowered his head and thought for a while, but then put on a gentle smile again.
"Lin, I think you have misunderstood them. In fact, you are right, but this concern is indeed part of their objection."
"Their starting point is also for us to unite into one force instead of two scattered fists. In this way, if the bill is passed, then we must at least make the most perfect preparations beforehand - only if we can do it without any barriers Only by uniting as one can we have the greatest chance of winning the war, right?"
"Actually, Lin, I also understand some of your thoughts. The tradition of the Chinese people makes it difficult for you to give up some feelings that you shouldn't have, even if it is wrong. But after all, you are not married yet. In the future of the nation, with
Before the great cause of revenge, when it comes to the choice of power, shouldn't you make a more cautious choice again? As you can see, I am a star demon, and I am expected to be a shining star in the future. But this person is just a...
Guard."
Sartre glanced at Xie Ning with great disdain, but looked at Lin Qi and advised him thus.
…
"Go away." A low voice suddenly reached his eardrums.
Sartre tilted his head in astonishment and looked at Xie Ning in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Lin Qi also looked back at the young man. Even if we can't reach an agreement, there is no need to offend them... Lei Feng, what are you doing?
Her face looked a little anxious, and she kept giving Xie Ning a stopping look.
However, where their eyes were focused, the young man was smiling faintly.
