The first thousand two hundred and seventeenth chapter the bearing of a big country (seeking a monthly ticket)
Ruman City, the sun is shining brightly.
The weather at the end of April is the season of colorful flowers and green willows, dancing and singing.
In the sky as blue as the sea, there are white clouds, either like a flock of sheep or like a snow-capped mountain. Under the blowing of the breeze, they lazily change their shapes and float slowly here and there little by little.
Amidst the changes in the clouds, a hole will occasionally be formed in the center, allowing the sunlight to shine down from the center. The brilliant brilliance is in sharp contrast with the surrounding shadows. Looking from a distance, it is like holy light descending from heaven to grace the earth.
In the sky, in addition to those clouds and birds, there were also several unusual black spots, which floated and sank with the spring breeze.
The market is bustling with people. The land is colorful, with lush trees, shiny green grass, and flowers of all colors.
Outside the city of Ruman, large fields stretch into the sky, and the green land is dotted with lively villages and towns. There are often gorgeous carriages carrying laughing beauties on the picturesque roads in the countryside.
No matter how beautiful words are used to describe the various beautiful scenery, it cannot be overstated.
People can't help but put down their work, go outdoors and enjoy this beautiful spring scenery.
In the center of Ruman, in the tall and majestic palace, everything is solemn - the routine morning meeting every working day is in progress~!
In the famous conference hall of the palace, Emperor Rudelun sat at the head of the long table, with the high-ranking civil and military ministers of the empire lined up on the left and right.
The windows of the conference room were opened, warm sunlight poured into the room, and a breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers blew in. From time to time, a breeze blew by, lifting the white curtains and flying slightly.
A dignified-looking official at the table was making a report in a measured tone with a serious expression on his face.
"The proposal was initiated by the ambassador of the Kingdom of Leiria. It received responses from more than forty countries, including Parthia.
Later, it was passed by the United Nations General Assembly with an absolute majority of more than 70%. Governor Lorraine personally participated in the inquiry meeting. After the meeting..."
Although the hall was packed with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, there was no other sound in the room except his loud voice. If you listened carefully, you could even hear the faint echo coming from the tall and empty roof.
Except for that person, everyone sat upright and remained silent - in fact, everyone already knew the news last night.
Some were notified by the Prime Minister's Office, and some were reminded by friends. How many pairs of eyes were staring at the United Nations Headquarters. Not even the slightest disturbance could escape their sight.
Especially for such a major event with far-reaching impact, I don’t know how many people lost sleep because of it last night.
Although that incident only happened yesterday in the Maple Leaf Forest thousands of miles away, according to common sense, it would be impossible for them to know about it within ten days and a half. But in fact, everyone already knew about it today - since Feiying Tietong
After the company's telegraph system was built, the distances in the world have been greatly shortened.
However, due to the expensive cost of sending telegrams, most of them did not know the more detailed details.
And now, what the Minister of Foreign Affairs is describing is the detailed story of what happened.
The big guys on both sides of the long table were all serious and expressionless. However, from time to time, they would steal a glance at the boss at the front of the seat. They tried to figure out Rudrun's thoughts from the emperor's expression, eyes, and gestures, and waited for a while to talk.
But what disappointed them was that Emperor Rudrun seemed absent-minded, staring blankly at the sky outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, the official had finished his report, then took a long breath and sat down gently.
The conference room fell silent for a moment.
Prime Minister Russell waited patiently for a while, and when he saw that Emperor Rudrun was still silent, he couldn't help but frowned. Then he followed Rudrun's line of sight and looked to the sky, where he saw several strange things flying in the sky.
Among them are dragonflies, butterflies, and eagles, or simply a triangle or square, painted in various bright colors, with long tails hanging below, flying in the wind.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said softly: "That's a kite. A new thing from Nai'an. You can tie it up with a rope and you can fly in the sky."
Emperor Rudrun said "Yes" with a calm expression.
When Russell looked at it, he sighed inwardly and thought to himself: This boss is distracted again. The twenty or thirty people at this table are all waiting.
After another moment of silence, Russell hesitated and called out: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty."
"Huh?" Emperor Rudelun was startled, then came back to his senses, looked at the waiting ministers in front of him, couldn't help but blush, coughed slightly, and said: "Uh, by the way. What do you think? I
Dear gentlemen."
The ministers looked at each other first, and then shouted one after another.
"This is a provocation~!"
"There is a conspiracy going on against us."
"Parthia is being dishonest again."
"They need to be taught a new lesson."
"..."
The important ministers of the empire spoke with one voice, criticizing the proposals proposed by the representatives of the Kingdom of Leiria and others, and wished they could immediately send a large army to rush forward and destroy them.
Only a few people remained silent, looking at the table in front of them without saying a word, as if trying to stare at the flowers on the pear wood table in front of them.
Emperor Rudelun saw this in his eyes, and then pressed his hand down, signaling everyone to stop shouting temporarily.
When everyone else fell silent, he then named the person who had been silent just now and said, "Jerome, I see you haven't spoken. What do you think?"
Minister Jerome hesitated for a moment, then carefully considered the words, and said: "Although these people are conspiring against us, Governor Lorraine's behavior is a bit too Meng Lang and not mature enough. This could have been done in the venue.
Dissolve.”
A middle-aged general with a beard opposite him immediately slammed the table, jumped up to object, and said excitedly: "We are Ruman people, noble Ruman people.
Our actions don’t need to be explained to anyone~!”
"Okay, good point."
"marvelous."
"That's how it should be."
"..."
His words immediately attracted unanimous approval and support from all military personnel and some civilian officials.
The general continued at this time: "Their doubts are an insult to us. Do you still want us to swallow this insult? I doubt whether you have accepted their dirty money."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed heavily at Jerome.
Jerome raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes at him. He said angrily: "Anderson, you are a bastard. Don't blame me here. When I did this, you were still in your mother's womb."
General Anderson suddenly became furious, reached out and picked up the tea cup on the table, and cursed angrily: "You bastard, who are you scolding?"
Jerome did not show any weakness, picked up the chair and shouted angrily: "I will scold anyone who recognizes..."
When Prime Minister Russell saw that they were about to fight, he became very angry. He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Damn this. This is the imperial court. Let me see who of you dares to mess around~!"
The two of them couldn't help but pause.
At this time, the minister who was sitting next to him watching the show pretended to be in a hurry and stepped forward to persuade the two of them to leave.
Russell stood up, bowed and saluted Rudrun, and said: "Your Majesty, I have not disciplined you strictly, please forgive me."
Rudrun waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it. It's okay. Everyone is doing it for official reasons. Anyway, I'm used to it."
Russell laughed dryly. Pretending not to hear the hidden meaning in Rudrun's words, he sat down calmly.
Rudrun turned his head and said to Jerome: "Go on."
Jerome first looked at General Anderson opposite, snorted coldly, and then continued: "Your Majesty, what I mean is that for us now, the only purpose is to integrate the Continental United, as long as this goal is achieved.
They just can’t think about it.”
"Begging for peace will never come~!"
"..."
The ministers looked at each other, and a fierce quarrel broke out again.
"Ahem!" Russell coughed dissatisfiedly and stopped their argument.
Emperor Rudelun glanced at the Prime Minister and said: "My dear Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Russell already had the answer in his mind. He smiled steadily and said, "Should I tell you, Your Majesty, if he doesn't do this, he won't be the Count of Lorraine."
Emperor Rudelun was startled for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and touched the huge diamond ring on his finger. This answer was obviously not what he wanted.
The emperor rolled his eyes, and then called Baron Rocund, the undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, who was Lorena's father, and said: "My dear Undersecretary Rocund, you have a good relationship with Lorraine. From your point of view, he
How did you do this time?"
The relationship between Lorena and Lorraine is no longer a secret.
However, Baroness Lorena is an anomaly in Ruman City. She left home very early and is now a famous mage in Maple Leaf Danlin. She has no connection with the aristocratic families in Ruman City, so everyone gradually forgot about this.
Now that Emperor Rudelun mentioned it, they immediately thought about it again.
Deputy Commander Rocunde has been favored by Lorena in recent years. Every time Lorena goes home, she brings gifts, including real estate, real estate, cash, jewelry, and new products from the Flying Eagle Group.
Put all your energy into home.
Deputy Commander Rocund cursed in his heart that he was unlucky and thought to himself, as far as Catherine is concerned, you are not far from that guy Lorraine, so why do you have to ask me?
However, Deputy Chief Rocund cursed in his heart. He had to say what he needed to say, and said slowly: "I think Lorraine did not do a good enough job this time and was a little willful."
Everyone was immediately surprised and thought to themselves: Why did this father-in-law criticize his son-in-law? I have always heard that Roquunde is a henpeckist. Isn't he afraid that his wife, who loves his daughter and son-in-law, will get angry at him?
"But~!" Vice-President Rocund changed the topic and said: "It's normal for young people to be hot-blooded and reckless.
As the saying goes, if a young man makes a mistake, God will forgive him. If I see it, I will call him back and severely criticize him. I will educate him well."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they secretly cursed the old fox. Everyone knew that the so-called criticism as punishment actually meant praise.
Damn it~!
Look at what level is, this is level~!
They spoke for Lorraine and made it impossible for others to find any faults.
Emperor Rudelun nodded calmly and said: "Everyone, the proposal of no confidence in the peacekeeping forces is essentially contempt for the international order led by the Ruman Empire and intends to destroy the unity and peace of the human world."
Although they can act arbitrarily, we, Ruman, as a responsible and responsible country, have the obligation to maintain regional situation and world peace.
This kind of rogue and hooligan behavior must not be tolerated. We must do our best to prevent the passage of the no-confidence motion~!"
All the hawkish ministers present burst into tears and applauded.
"Well said, very well said."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"..."
As Ruman people, we all have this great grandeur and like to treat other people's things as our own.
If Sir Luo were here, he would have discovered that Emperor Rudrun had just added a few special terms such as "democracy and freedom" to his words. They are exactly the same as the American devils who dominate the world and play hooligans everywhere in later generations.
Emperor Rudelun raised his hand humbly, and then continued: "My lords, do you have anything else to do? If not...
Okay, let’s break up the meeting.”
The ministers looked at each other, pushed away their chairs and stood up, bowed to Emperor Rudelun, then packed up their belongings and left the conference room while whispering.
In the end, only Prime Minister Russell and the Emperor were left - it was customary for the Prime Minister to stay after the meeting.
Seeing the guards closing the door again, Russell let out a long sigh and said, "You are the target of public criticism~!"
Emperor Rudrun also rubbed his forehead tiredly. He didn't sleep well last night and was woken up in bed.
"For how much money?" Russell looked a little disappointed. "Is it worth it? Smuggling to the demons is not a trick. How could Lorraine make such a mistake?"
"How much money?" Emperor Rudelun chuckled and said faintly: "That's not a few dollars. The millions of special fees I allocated to you this year came from here. My dear Prime Minister, you spend
It’s the demon people’s money.”
Russell suddenly realized that Emperor Rudrun also had shares in Lorraine's smuggling business. No wonder the boss had been in a bad mood today.
When he thought that his free allocation of three to four million per year might be gone, Russell immediately hated the Kingdom of Leiria. He said to himself, why are you doing this so much? Just how many forces are involved in this smuggling business, tell me.
I'll scare you to death.
Since Emperor Rudelun has shares, Fantino must also get a share of the pie, and Maple Leaf Danlin is not impossible.
"Good guy, Leiria's grandson has offended all three giants in the mainland at once." Russell was secretly happy in his heart, and suddenly sneered, causing Emperor Rudrun to look at him in surprise.
Russell seemed to have remembered some joke and said: "Actually, at the end of yesterday, Leiria's representative said something. He said that Lorraine's ancestor Hal, Lorraine, became a duke because of his contribution to suppressing the rebellion.
Lorraine will definitely be able to defeat Hal in the future, and whether he will be a Grand Duke or a Prince, he will be just around the corner.
Isn't this a joke? He must not understand our Ru Man's rules, which is that people with different surnames cannot be crowned kings."
Emperor Rudrun was suddenly shocked, his eyes flashed, he looked at Russell seriously, and said: "My dear Prime Minister, if you have something in your heart, just say it!"
Russell showed a faint smile and said eloquently: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what the political structure of the empire will look like after the war is victorious if there is a war?
With Lorraine's current contribution, there is no problem at all in regaining the title of Duke. After that, if he wins a great victory, how should we reward his contribution?
I’m afraid only the one who breaks the earth and becomes the king is left.”
These words were like a sharp sword, pointing directly at Emperor Rudelun's true heart. Rudelun's face instantly turned ugly.
Russell said: "Of course, I am sure that Lord Lorraine is as indifferent to fame and fortune as his ancestor, Duke Hal. However, after a person reaches a certain position, he will become involuntarily. Even if he has no ideas, there is no guarantee that
His subordinates and vassals have no idea."
Emperor Rudrun pursed his lips, turned his head and stared out the window, hesitated for a long time, and said, "What do you have in mind?"
Russell held his hands and frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "He is too hot and needs to be cooled down. Young people can lift it, and they should be able to sink it."
"Well..." Emperor Rudelun nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "Send him a telegram. He hasn't returned to Nai'an for a long time. As the governor, he should go back and deal with the accumulated government affairs."
Russell showed a victorious look in his eyes, nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
By sweeping away Lorraine, Archduke Julius is too busy to leave, so that Russell can take charge of the affairs of the Ruman Empire in the United Nations, lead the formation process of the peacekeeping force, and win a greater voice for himself in the upcoming integration.
right.
Otherwise, the peacekeeping force would be completely controlled by Archduke Julius and Lorraine, and not even Rudelun would be able to get a needle in.
Dominating the United Nations and controlling the peacekeeping forces will greatly assist Russell's ambition to integrate the entire continent in the future. Russell does not want to give this historical credit to others.
Besides, Lorraine has too many earth-shattering achievements.
Emperor Rudelun sighed, stood up half-heartedly, and walked slowly out of the conference room with his hands behind his back.
Russell immediately drafted a telegram and sent it to Lorraine in Maple Leaf Danlin.
But the telegram from Ruman City had just been sent, and a telegram came from Maple Leaf Danlin, which said, "Nai'an has urgent matters to deal with, and will temporarily leave Maple Leaf Danlin and return to Nadel." It was signed by Lorraine, Catherine and Lei
Europe.
When Russell saw this telegram, he felt a dull pain in the roots of his teeth, and he squeaked. His heart was as bitter as coptis, and he cursed in his heart: Did you have a plan to plot against me? This is so good, you got me in trouble.
Outsiders are not human beings.
Lorraine himself chose to take a step back at the cusp of the storm and took the initiative to go back to avoid suspicion. This made the telegram that followed from Ruman City urging him to go back seem a bit heartless.
What would Catherine think? What would the Julian Council think? What would the Rumains think?
Everyone will think that it was Rudrun and Russell who unscrupulously sacrificed Sir Lorraine at the critical moment and gave in to others.
When he received the telegram from Lorraine, Emperor Rudelun was also dumbfounded. He held the telegram and stared blankly at his prime minister for a while, then he said with a sense of luck: "Your telegram has been sent."
?”
Russell nodded with a straight face.
"This..." Emperor Rudrun slapped the table with hatred and said distressedly: "It's time for Nicole to hate me again. You, you, you, what do you think you are doing?"
Russell was also filled with hatred and cursed secretly, Damn, will you die if you send the telegram two hours early?
Russell did not consider that due to the time difference, Maple Leaf Danlin had just arrived at work. (To be continued)
