The first thousand five hundred and eighteen chapters
"I decided to negotiate peace with humans~!"
As soon as Governor Donadie said these words, the officials below all breathed a sigh of relief.
If they had any courage to resist before, it disappeared with the death of former Prime Minister Madolins.
The death of Madolins means that the last floating part of the broken ship of the old government has sunk. They, the officials of the old government, have to face the new era of republican government.
Peace talks, or to put it more directly, surrender, are their only way out. Although they have to pay a huge price, at least they can save their family's lives.
If the human or Semitic Provisional Republican Government really wants to liquidate, it won't be their turn. The first to bear the brunt will naturally be the Governor-General sitting on the main seat.
This up-and-coming Governor-General is definitely the perfect candidate to take the blame.
Everyone lowered their heads, thinking about the criminal records of the shady people under their control. When the humans came over, they would all blame it on the governor.
The people below were thinking about how to ask Governor Donadie to fight thunder for them, but Governor Donadie suddenly had an idea in his mind and came up with a brilliant idea.
The Governor thought seriously for a moment, deduced it over and over again, and felt that his idea was really beneficial and harmless. Then he sighed in his heart: Seriously, he can be regarded as one of the trendsetters of this era. Although.
He can't compare to Lord Luo, but he is one of the few among the Semitic people.
Governor Donadie knew in his heart: As long as his plan is executed properly, it will definitely shock the whole country and attract the President of the Provisional Government. Or simply make Lord Luo of the Human Alliance look at him differently.
When the time comes, it will not be impossible to find a senior position in the republican government, or even enter the cabinet.
"President Brad, doesn't he just have a daughter?" Governor Donadieu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a knowing smile, and thought to himself: I have a beautiful daughter too~!
Times make heroes, and it is not impossible to give it a try in the future and just withdraw from the stage of history. Governor Donadieu is not willing to accept it.
He has been the governor for more than half a year, and he has a profound understanding of the truth - a real man cannot lose power for a day~!
"Ahem," Governor Donadieu cleared his throat to stop the commotion among his men, and said, "Since we have decided to negotiate peace with humans, instead of passively waiting for humans to come in, we should take the initiative."
"Take the initiative?" The officials at the table looked at each other in surprise, wondering what kind of evil the governor wanted to do.
Governor Donadieu smiled slightly and seemed confident, and said loudly: "We are also republican~!"
There was an explosion in the "Coax" conference room. Everyone did not expect that the governor suddenly proposed such a fantastic idea.
At first, they instinctively thought it was impossible. But when they thought about it carefully, why not?
The republic is not exclusive to the Caribbean people.
They Caribbean people can be republican, and we South O'Hud people can also be republican.
Gonghe is good, Gonghe is wonderful, Gonghe is beautiful~!
The silver-haired Sir Robert suddenly realized it as if he was enlightened. He slapped the table and jumped up. His face glowed with excitement. He raised his thumb and shook it at the Governor. He said sincerely: "High, it is really high."
"My lord is wise."
"Republic, we are also a republic."
"Republic~?"
"Republic~!"
"That's right, Republic~!"
People exchanged firm glances with each other and completely reached a consensus in just a few minutes.
Governor Donadie laughed loudly, leaned back in his chair with great ambition, put his hands on the table, and gave orders loudly, saying: "Send people to contact humans. We, South Ohud, will respond to the call of the Semitic Republican Government.
From today onwards, we respect the republican system."
"Yes~!" The surrounding officials stood up and respectfully agreed.
"Yes." Governor Donadie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Remember to take down the sign at the door of the Governor's Palace later and replace it with the sign of the Republican Government..."
He thought for a moment and then changed his mind: "Forget it, I will personally host the ceremony later, everyone go and prepare quickly."
As a government, whether it is 'delisting' or 'listing', they are all very serious political events. If you are not careful, you will send a wrong signal.
This kind of serious political reputation must be built up by oneself. Otherwise, when people see it, they may think that those bastards have done something wrong to them and that they have established a republic on their own.

A few hours later, a rapid bell suddenly rang in Lannus City. The panicked citizens knew that something big had happened, so they dropped their work and walked out of their homes.
Dozens of people, hundreds of people, thousands of people, even tens of thousands of people, crowded the streets and headed towards the square in the city.
At the same time, they also asked each other what happened and whether humans were calling?
When everyone arrived in front of the Governor's Palace, they found that the place had completely changed.
This place, which used to be heavily guarded and no strangers were allowed to enter, was now hastily arranged into a conference venue. Several pots of 'can't die' were randomly placed around it, and a few random colorful flags were erected, which was very gaudy.
Although this thing looks very vulgar, the common people are all very convinced of it. For a while, they all commented: It seems like something good will happen today.
Seeing that people were almost there, a horn sounded, and then the door of the Governor's Mansion burst open.
Governor Donadieu led a large number of civil and military officials from the province to make a grand appearance.
The Governor stood on the steps in front of the mansion, facing the dark crowd in the square. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers of South O'Hud, the old... pseudo-people headed by Madolins
The government acted perversely and brought disaster to the country and the people, and the republican government beheaded them in public.
This is a great and happy event that is celebrated by the whole world.
Here, we would like to express our congratulations to the newly established republican government~!"
As his words fell, people in the crowd were heard cheering loudly and applauding vigorously - these people were all shills arranged in advance.
Under their leadership, a group of common people also clapped their hands sparsely for a while. Everyone couldn't understand why Madolins was killed. Why was it a happy event?
But since someone slaps you, you should follow suit. There is nothing wrong with following the crowd anyway.
Donadie didn't care. After the applause ended, he coughed and then continued: "Let me tell you another piece of good news.
All the Madolinist lackeys in our province were also captured.
During Madolin's administration, these lackeys bullied men and women in our province, took bribes and perverted the law, set up literary prisons, persecuted loyal people... and committed countless crimes that are too numerous to describe, plunging our province into a state of terror.
Now under the wise leadership of this Governor, our government officials are united and united as one, and have gone through all kinds of hardships and dangers, and finally captured them all in one fell swoop~!
Today, we are here to punish all these corrupt officials who have done all kinds of bad things, and make them listen to business as usual~!"
After saying that, he turned around and shouted violently to the side: "Bring them all up~!"
Following his order, a group of secret policemen dressed in black were marched onto the square. After deciding on the republic, the governor ordered all these people to be arrested.
These guys had just learned that Madolins was dead and were making a fuss, not knowing where to go. Some were clamoring to raise troops to serve the king, some wanted to run away with their families, and some were planning to kill the governor and then take over the mountain and become the king...
…
While they were discussing, the governor's personal guards rushed in.
The common people in Lannus City are no strangers to this group of Madolins' lackeys. These guys have done harm to the common people everywhere.
Seeing their noses and faces swollen, the people in the square laughed happily.
In order to prevent these secret police officers from talking nonsense, they were all tied up and their mouths were tightly gagged. However, they continued to struggle fiercely until they were beaten several times and they all became honest.
The soldiers pinned them down at the steps of the Governor's Palace, and then executioners with their heads covered in red cloth, bare chests and dark chest hair appeared behind them.
An officer drew out his saber, raised it high and then swung it down hard, while shouting: "Cut~!"
The executioners immediately raised their swords in their hands, and then slashed down with all their strength.
Dozens of heads rolled on the ground.
A burst of violent cheers broke out from the crowd.
Governor Donadieu smiled with satisfaction and said to himself: It really depends on the people's support - whether his plan can succeed depends on whether he can coax these dead people.
Then he raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling the crowd to quiet down, and said loudly: "I declare that from today on, our South Ohud Province will bring order to the chaos. This province will join the Semitic Republic, change the republican system, and cancel the title and rights of nobility.
In terms of hierarchy, all people in our province are citizens, and everyone is equal~!"
There was silence in front of the square for a full five minutes. Those who were close looked at the Governor in the middle of the steps with dull expressions on their faces. His words were passed on one by one.
The silent square suddenly erupted into earth-shattering cheers.
"Long live, long live~!"
The people waved their arms and shouted as loudly as they could, with a fanatical light in their eyes.
Facing the roaring cheers like a tsunami, Governor Donadie smiled reservedly, and suddenly heard a famous saying from the east: All the heroes in the world have fallen into my quiver.
The plan is half successful.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Governor Donadie personally took off the sign hanging in front of the Governor's Palace and threw the bronze sign that read the Semitic Empire South Ohud Governor's Palace down the steps.
The crowd rushed forward and stamped their feet in response to the sign.
A small commotion immediately broke out. But then the governor's personal guards rushed forward, picked up the scabbards in their hands, and beat the people who rushed up, until they screamed and retreated.
Go down.
If it were in the past, Governor Donadie would have been furious and would have arrested a few unscrupulous people and sent them to work in the quarry for a year or two. However, today is a big day, so he can only deal with this episode.
It's turning a blind eye.
Then a wooden sign with the words "Provisional Government of South Ohud of the Semitic Republic" was solemnly hung in front of the door.
The paint on the sign has not yet dried, so it was obviously made in a hurry.
Sir Robert took the lead in applauding, and all the officials followed suit. It was not just the one who took the lead in shouting "Long live Donadie~!"
The people in the square immediately followed suit and shouted: "Long live Donadie~!"
The slogans were louder and louder, resounding throughout the city.
Governor Donadie faced the people and raised his arms to signal.
Where the Governor could not see them, Sir Robert and General René looked gloomy at the same time, then looked at each other, but when the Governor turned around they both immediately changed to smiles.
Governor Donadieu took the bamboo pole passed by his subordinates and picked off some eaves tiles on the gate of the Governor's Palace to show that the reform must be destroyed. This was considered a formal republic.
Just as the governor and his men were greeting each other, a group of military horses struggled to push through the crowd. They tried hard to walk towards the direction of the governor's palace. The knight on the horse was dusty and his face was covered with dust. He had been riding the horse for a long time and shouted loudly: "Let's go."
Let, emergency military situation, get out of the way~!"
The people next to him didn't buy it, and shouted at him with a black face: "I didn't know it was a republic now. If you dare to bump into me, I'll beat you to death."
The knight on the horse was startled. When did the people in the city become so arrogant? They dared to talk to the officials like this. I originally wanted to whip them. But when I saw the malicious eyes of the unruly people around me,
The military situation is more important.
After squeezing through the crowd, the knight jumped up from his horse, crossed the steps in a few steps, rushed to Governor Donadieu, and said hurriedly: "My lord, there is an urgent military situation. The Free Army is approaching our city of Lannas within sixty miles."
He said and handed over a battle report.
"It's coming so fast~!" Governor Donadie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this human being would arrive just as soon as he said it. The human beings had just arrived here as soon as the Republic was established. If he had been a step too late...
"Fortunately, I am smart, otherwise the republic would not be in my turn." Governor Donadieu was extremely proud of his decisive and wise actions.
Governor Donadieu shook the battle report in his hand, smiled handsomely, and said: "Open the city gates wide, wave the republican flag, and all the soldiers and civilians will follow me out of the city to welcome my comrades in the Semitic Republican government."
Sir Robert and General René both claimed that they were, and a group of people said in unison: "Your Excellency is wise."
However, the knight who delivered the message changed his face and shouted in shock: "No sir, the people coming from outside the city are the Free Army~!"
Governor Donadieu and the officials on both sides looked at the knight angrily. Governor Donadieu sternly rebuked: "Nonsense, you don't see that we are already a republic, and the Free Army is now our comrade-in-arms."
"What's your intention?"
"Remnants of the old government."
"..."
Even the common people at the foot of the steps clenched their fists and thought, looking at them as if they were going to eat this knight alive.
This guy actually dares to stand in the way and go against the trend of history. I’m so impatient~!
The knight was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and couldn't speak clearly. He said anxiously: "It's not the Free Army. No, it's the Free Army. It's not the Free Army..."
Governor Donadie's face grew darker and darker, and he raised his hand to signal his attendants to chop up the unfortunate child.
The knight was so anxious that he shook his hands and suddenly shouted, "It's Acaterimius~!"
The people around him fell silent instantly, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the knight with wide eyes, and the aura seemed to penetrate him.
Governor Donadie's face turned pale, he grabbed the knight by the collar and said in panic: "What did you say?"
The knight took a breath and said loudly: "It's the Free Army led by Acatrimius."
"What~?!"
"It's the mob."
"Oh my god, here comes Acattrilios~!"
Governor Donadieu was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Acatrimius? Isn't he a group of peasant soldiers? How can it be the Free Army?"
The knight said: "I don't know, anyway, the flag they are flying is the flag of the Free Army."
"That damn bastard~!" Governor Donadieu couldn't help but cursed angrily. He originally thought that he was the one who saw the opportunity quickly, but he didn't expect that the bastard Acaterimius betrayed the revolution faster than he did.
How shameless~!
He threw the knight away and shouted to his men with a ferocious expression: "What are you waiting for? Sound the alarm and ask all the soldiers to go up to the city wall and distribute weapons to the militiamen in the city~!"
In excitement, the governor sprayed General Rene's face with saliva.
Seeing that the others were still in a daze, Governor Donadie roared: "Let those thugs come in, and we will all die~!"
General René suddenly trembled, and without even wiping the saliva from his face, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Gather, the whole army must assemble!"
A rapid alarm bell rang.
All the people in the square instantly learned that the rebel army led by Acaterimius was coming to kill them, only a few dozen miles away from them.
Someone in the square shouted: "Copycat guys, do it with them."
"We must not let these bandits enter the city."
"Protect our home."
"Fuck them~!"
The crowd in the square quickly dispersed, with women and children hiding in their homes, while the men took up arms and joined the militia to defend their city.
The Lannas people are well aware of the virtues of this group of peasant rebels. They used the slogan of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. After being invaded by them into the city, they burned, killed, and looted, just like bandits.
The citizens of Lannus City can be considered a wealthy class after all, but they are the best targets for robbing the rich.
Governor Donadieu and a certain kind of officials were more nervous and frightened than the common people. For one thing, Acaterimius's illustrious name was not for nothing.
Furthermore, each of them has a lot of blood on their hands. The government has always been merciless in its attacks on the peasant rebels. It would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
Any rebel who is caught will be beheaded on the spot, his whole family will be seated together, and he will be sent to a labor camp. The two sides have long had a deep hatred.
And unlike humans, Governor Donadie and the others really don't have any deep hatred for humans.
Following the orders, the large group of soldiers marched out from the military camp, rushed through the streets and quickly rushed to the city wall.
But Governor Donadie was still worried, as his life and fortune were at stake. He then put on his armor, held a long sword, and led his officials to patrol the city.
Not long after, a black tide appeared in the west of the city, and countless people poured towards Lannus City.
The leader was a large flag of the Free Army of the Semitic Republic Government, but the soldiers under the flag were all in ragged clothes, with only crude weapons in their hands, and the formation was disorderly. They were obviously not regular troops.
Governor Donadie pressed his hands on the parapet and leaned out to look into the distance. He could vaguely see a tall figure under the flag of the Free Army. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better updates of the novel. Faster!
