To go or not to go, that is the question. Welcome to reading..
Looking at the invitation on the table, Pars, the governor of the province of Dotrins, couldn't help but smile bitterly. He unknowingly read out the most famous line in "Hamlet".
Only this sentence can best reflect the tangled and depressed mood of the Governor at the moment.
If I go there, in the territory of the Republican Government and the Human Alliance, I will definitely be the one to be slaughtered for the sake of human beings and allowed to be slaughtered by them at will.
No matter how much people rub it, he can't say a word "no".
In the province of Dotlins, he was a powerful and uncompromising governor. Without the province of Dotlins, no one would recognize him as an onion.
His foundation is here. Here are the armies he spent money to arm, officials loyal to him, and merchants and nobles who relied on him.
But don’t go…
Who in the world can withstand Lord Lorraine's thundering wrath?
That was the majestic Flying Eagle God of War, a figure evenly matched with the most powerful High Priest under the starry sky~!
It doesn't matter if his personal force value is high, not to mention that he now has a million tiger and wolf troops under his command, equipped with powerful weapons that are ahead of this era.
They are ready for action, have an eye on the world, and are loyal. They are always ready to tear apart every enemy that appears in front of him~!
Those who dare to disobey Lord Lorraine will rarely see the sun rise the next day.
Lord Lorraine doesn't even need to do it himself, as long as he spreads the word, there are many people in the province of Dotrins who are willing to work for Lord Lorraine and chop off the governor's head in exchange for fame.
As the saying goes, internal and external troubles.
"Go, or not?" Governor Pars hesitated for a long time, still unable to make a decision. Then he raised his head and looked at the senior provincial officials in the hall.
And since the moment these people came in, they all seemed as silent as gourds with their mouths sawed.
Wei Jin was sitting upright with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his mouth, his eyes lowered, staring at the tabletop, as if there were flowers on the dark red pear wood tabletop.
Even the children in the kindergarten class waiting for the little red flower are not as well-behaved as they are.
There is nothing new under the sun, and politics under the sun are all the same.
Like the military and political officials of South Ohud Province at that time, they also had the same calculation. If the sky fell, the taller one would rise first. They themselves were just working and running errands.
Anyway, it is the governor who is going to be unlucky this time, and it has nothing to do with him.
Even if it really does matter, if you push it on the Governor's head, it won't matter.
At this time, any discussion is a sign of political immaturity.
Pars looked at their appearance and couldn't help but gritted his teeth secretly in anger, cursing in his heart: These little bastards who are feeding strangers, they talked to my son when they asked me if I wanted an official position. If something really happened, we would all become grandsons.
He also knows that these guys are completely unreliable.
Pars pondered for a moment and felt that it would be safer to wait and see first. He said slowly: "Although Sir Luo is kindly inviting you this time, my health is not very good. I'm afraid I won't be able to make the trip..."
An official next to him jumped up immediately and said anxiously: "My lord, my lord, you absolutely can't do this~!
I heard that a few days ago, the governor of Nasili Province also planned to pretend to be sick. As a result, those damn SS soldiers sent out the war fortress without saying a word and threw a bomb outside the city.
A big lake came out, and even a section of the city wall collapsed.
So, absolutely, absolutely not possible.”
The rest of the people also tried to persuade him, saying that Lord Lorraine couldn't afford to offend him, so you'd better be obedient.
Someone asked fiercely: "Your Majesty, Governor, for the sake of your own selfish interests, do you want to ignore millions of lives in our province?"
He barely pointed at his nose and yelled that Pars was a coward.
For everyone, Your Majesty the Governor, you loved him to death. After your death, everyone here will hold a grand memorial service for him, and invite famous people to write a sincere eulogy that will last forever.
It is also guaranteed that everyone will burst into tears, and everyone will cry for at least three minutes. Even if they cry to death and a few of them faint on the spot, it is not out of the question.
But if you bring trouble to everyone and let the SS throw a bomb on your head, that would be a bit embarrassing.
Pars was also furious at that moment. He raised his hand and threw the teacup on the ground. The fragments and tea flew everywhere and touched several people around him.
He said angrily: "What do you mean? We are all colleagues after all, do you just want me to have bad luck?"
Everyone froze, and for a moment, they all looked at each other. Many people lowered their heads with shame. Although Governor Pars took care of his sister-in-law and brother-in-law a little more, he was still a pretty good person.
I have always been paid to do things, and I am very particular about it.
But even if everyone has tears in their eyes and blood in their hearts, they still have to drive him away. If the Governor doesn't leave, they will be the unlucky ones.
What's more, no one felt they owed Pars anything. After all, he was paid when he did things, and he never did it for free.
An official next to him coughed slightly and advised: "Sir, this is too bad to say. This trip may be a great job."
After all, my lord, you also changed the flag with great righteousness a few days ago. This is also a great achievement for mankind and President Bullard.
I believe that the governors of other provinces who have also changed their banners have also received such invitations.
In order to stabilize the situation, Brad certainly did not dare to attack and kill aggressively, and could only focus on appeasement. I think there are only two reasons for such a large-scale adjustment of the governor's visit."
He paused for a moment, and after whetting the appetite of everyone present, he slowly said: "First, it is to declare the power of the republican government to control various localities.
As far as I know, Governor Donadier of South Ohud Province and General Appalsilius of the rebel army set off immediately on the day they received the order without saying a word.
It is said that the two of them were promoted immediately after arriving and were cordially received by President Bullard.
With the two of them as examples, if anyone dares not to listen to the propaganda, it is because they are blind to the central government, or even have ulterior motives. They are blocking the car with their hands, reversing history, trying to rebel, subverting the republic, and conspiracy.
Deal with the human coalition."
After hearing this, everyone present broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads, and they thought to themselves: This grandson's heart is too poisonous. You must stay away from this guy in the future.
With these big hats on, once those brutal humans come over, they will definitely massacre the city with their swords, and they, the military and political officials, will not be the first to escape.
Seeing that the governor and the surrounding colleagues were frightened, the man continued unhurriedly: "Secondly, he is probably trying to understand our situation and test our background.
Let’s see who among us is obedient, capable, and capable.
After all, as the president, Bullard must also rely on the assistance of the governors of each province, so it is inevitable to strengthen contact. Your Excellency, the president also needs to train his team.
Of course, if anyone here is stupid or disobedient, they will be exempted without saying a word.
Therefore, the superiors and subordinates boldly speculated that, Mr. Governor, you only need to show your usual abilities and be careful when you speak. Then this trip to Arkadelin will be thrilling.
The world is not yet stable, so it is expected that both Lord Lorraine and President Bullard will take stabilizing the situation as their top priority."
After listening to his penetrating analysis, Pars couldn't help but fell silent again, secretly thinking: Maybe things are really as he said, and rashly replacing the governor who surrendered at this time will only make other people unstable.
People are frightened.
But then he sneered and said: "Liszt, since your analysis is so reasonable, how about I transfer this invitation to you?"
Liszt, who had been talking eloquently just now, couldn't help but be startled, and a look of panic flashed across his face - although the analysis was good, going to Akadelin is like buying a cat through the pocket, no one knows.
What result can be drawn?
If humans really don't have any good intentions, this trip will be like a meat bun beating a dog...
If Lord Lorraine really wanted to kill Liszt, it would be as simple as crushing an ant, and no one would come out to complain for him. At least he would have to make up a bunch of accusations to praise Lord Lorraine for killing him.
The killing is good, the killing is wonderful, and the killing is croaking.
But he is also an old bureaucrat who has been trained in the agency for many years. He has played a lot of insidious and strange things. He is extremely clever. He calmed down for a while and then smiled and said: "If your Excellency is really relieved, then your subordinates should obey your orders."
.”
Pars seemed quite excited after hearing what he said, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"However," Liszt pondered for a moment, then said: "After I go there with this invitation, President Bullard wants to appoint me as governor. Of course, I will definitely not accept it, but that is difficult to do...
…”
Governor Pars's tiger body couldn't help but suddenly trembled: This may not be impossible, and the surname may be extremely high. If he doesn't go and Liszt goes, what will President Bullard and Lord Lorraine think?
He must have thought that he didn't know how to express himself, so he turned around and had to clean it up properly.
hiss……
If he really discarded this invitation, if Lorraine and the others were like Liszt analyzed, not only would he have worried in vain, but the governor's position would also be gone.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: To go or not to go, that's really a question~!
Fortunately, he only struggled for one night.
The next morning, when he was planning to struggle for another day, he heard a roaring roar in the air.
A huge war fortress appeared from the sky, and then landed in the main square of the city. A group of soldiers dressed in black and wearing silver skulls and skulls walked out of the war fortress.
Seeing this, Governor Pars immediately became worried and quickly boarded the war fortress. Then with tears in his eyes, he said goodbye to all the folks who came to see him off after hearing the news.
The war fortress closed its door in their gloating eyes and then took off quickly,
In order to take care of Governor Pars's mood, the driver also circled the city of Dotlin three times in an extremely humane manner, so that Governor Pars could clearly see every street and alley in the city from the sky.
.
But what impressed Governor Pars the most was the naughty children in the city. No matter they were big or small, after they saw the war fortress, they all howled and ran wildly after the war fortress.
But then, the war fortress slowly raised its height, and the city became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a square shape the size of a matchbox.
Before Governor Pars could feel the sadness of separation, a white cloud floated over, blocking his sight and completely isolating the city.
At this time, on the ground, a group of knights were galloping on their horses under the scorching sun.
Seeing the war fortress whistling in the sky, they stopped in unison, and then stared at its figure until it disappeared into the sky.
The leading knight couldn't help but smile at each other with his companions.
They are the special commissioner and his bodyguard sent by the Republican Party of the Incarnation.
In order to avoid intensifying conflicts, the purpose of their trip is not to go to the province of Dotlins to take over the power of Governor Pars. The power of the Governor will be temporarily represented by a round table composed of many people until the Governor attends a study class.
Return.
Their task is to take advantage of the absence of the Governor and the constraints of people to select suitable candidates in the province of Dotlins to form the Democratic and Republican parties and establish a provincial assembly.
As the highest legislative body of a province, they naturally have the power to supervise the government, decide on the financial budget, decide on the candidate for the governor, vote on the appointment and dismissal of officials nominated by the governor... and so on.
And if you have made great contributions as a special commissioner, you will naturally become the speaker of the state assembly.
This is also commonly known as sand mixing.
When the governor returns to the province after several months of study in Arkadelin, he will find that the day has completely changed.
Even if during the study and examination, it is found that the governor is too strong, he will be moved to another province immediately. As a mere commander, he will naturally not be able to cause any trouble.
Then, after another year or two, the situation has been stabilized, the army has been reorganized, and the electoral system has matured, so that the disobedient son of a bitch can be driven away with ease through parliamentary struggles without any bloodshed.
Of course, for the special commissioner, there are risks involved. For example, local die-hard forces, conservative groups, bureaucratic groups with vested interests, etc., they will definitely come out to obstruct it.
Even rebellion, riots, and demonstrations are possible.
However, as the special correspondents of the Republic, they are all elite members of the Republic, and they have also undergone assault training by the Duke.
The Special Commissioner Guards are also amazing. They are affiliated to the Secret Service of the Ministry of Finance of the Semitic Republic. Just by looking at their name, you can tell how powerful they are. If you don’t understand, you can point out that they are all the director of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation.
A direct subordinate of Mr. Ou Lei.
Not only that, behind these special commissioners there is the support of the Republican Party, as well as Lord Luo and his millions of soldiers.
As long as a telegram is sent, the war fortress will arrive with elite troops within thirty-six hours.
So, if they can't even do this little thing well, they might as well go home and eat old corn.
The special correspondent wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said to his companions: "Let's go, brothers. When we get to Dotrins, I'll treat everyone to the finest Louis red wine."
The whole crowd burst into laughter.
At this time, another sound of horse hoofbeats was heard from behind, and then, under the escort of a group of knights, several carriages appeared on the road behind.
Looking at their flags, they are obviously missionaries from the Holy See of Light. Their destination is also Dotrins.
According to the instructions of the Holy See, they wanted to build a church there, spread the doctrine, and educate the vast number of Semitic people.
Although many Lingshan people are still unfamiliar and resistant to human beings, the God of Light, as the elder brother of the Great Demon God, has the obligation to help the lost people get back on the right path.
If someone insists on going his own way and running down the wrong road, then the Holy See will naturally use the great holy fire to purify that guy - since it can't save his body, at least it can save his body in this way.
soul.
Just thinking about this great and selfish act was enough to move many clergymen to tears.
Of course, if we understand it from a malicious perspective, it means that these bastards have certain jurisdiction. As long as the procedures are legal, they can casually kill those ordinary people who are smart.
Having this big stick in their hands naturally makes these brats extremely happy.
In addition, they also have an important task, which is to hold requiem ceremonies in various cemeteries, so that the local dead will not listen to the call of the undead, rise from the ground, and become members of the undead.
.
Seeing the Holy Cross flags held high in the hands of the knights, the commissioner was overjoyed. He spurred on his horse and stepped forward to greet the knights warmly.
When the bishop on the carriage saw this, he stopped immediately and greeted the other party enthusiastically.
Those who can be selected from the Holy See of Light and engage in the arduous and glorious work of preaching are also well-known elites.
Although they have the Pope as the ultimate boss behind them and have the power to act like gangsters everywhere, it does not mean that they can do evil everywhere.
Over the past thousands of years, the Holy See has accumulated rich experience in the work of missionary work. The most important one is to establish good relationships with local officials.
Only in this way can we carry out our work to the best of our ability, achieve success, and then be promoted and make a fortune.
Since both parties now have common interests, the two groups of people are so close to each other, it's like a man meeting a silver woman or a firewood meeting a fire. The closeness almost makes people feel some kind of strange feeling.
Lenovo.
The two groups chatted for a few words and then set out on the road together. Like all officials who took office, they headed towards Dotterins with pride and vision for a better future.

When the novelty of just boarding the war fortress faded away, the boredom of the long flight gradually came to mind. Governor Pars fell asleep unknowingly.
When he woke up again, he found that it was already dusk, and at this time, the war fortress was slowly falling to the ground.
After the war fortress stopped, Pars immediately walked out of the cabin. A huge city suddenly appeared in front of him.
That is the greatest city of Ling Shan - the Imperial City of Akadelin.
He couldn't help but be startled. He was still in Dotlins in the morning, and after taking a nap, he found that he had arrived in Arkadelin. This huge change in time and space made him quite uncomfortable. It seemed that everything in front of him was just a world.
It's like a strange dream.
At this time, the official who came to greet him had already walked up, greeted him with a smile, and then led him into a carriage that had been waiting aside, and then drove a long distance.
He left the military restricted area, then turned onto a highway and headed towards the city not far away.
When the carriage passed the city gate, Pars saw a burst of chaos at the city gate. Several soldiers held swords and fiercely faced a guy dressed as an aristocrat, forcing him to shout, "The high priest is stupid" 13
' slogan.
After the noble reacted, he immediately let go of his throat and shouted loudly. Even the most demanding soldiers couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and waved to let him go.
At the same time, Pars also discovered that the tax collector who was blocking the city gate to collect taxes was missing. Then he realized that Akadelin was really different now than before.
When he rode the carriage through the city, he came to a military camp. There were already many middle-aged and elderly people with big bellies wandering around here. Looking at their appearance, they seemed vaguely familiar.
When he took a closer look, he discovered that these people were governors of various provinces just like him.
Seeing the arrival of Pars, everyone showed a strange expression of gloating, and a few acquaintances even greeted him warmly.
Seeing this, Pars felt much more relaxed: Due to the bad nature of human beings, although his current situation is a bit unlucky, since he is not the only one who is unlucky, there are also many companions, so naturally it is a matter of course.
Something to be happy about.
At this time, it was already dusk, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Then I heard a strange roar suddenly coming from the distance.
Pars couldn't help but be startled.
Just when he was confused, he saw people nearby cheering: "There's electricity, there's electricity."
Pars was confused at the moment: What is this electricity?
Immediately afterwards, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Pars discovered that a potato-sized object in front of him was emitting light. The light was dazzling, like a gem.
Immediately, the gems everywhere in the military camp lit up one after another, as if countless stars were shining around them, giving people the illusion that they were in a fairyland.
Pars seemed like a country bumpkin, with his mouth wide open and staring blankly at the scene in front of him - this... this is simply a miracle~! To be continued.)
