Nine Hundred and Seventy Six Self-Deception
It wasn't just that the experiment of the Elan Hill Empire was not going well, the emperor of the Eternal Empire also felt that he was going through the biggest test in his life in the palace of the Eternal Empire.
He didn't know how many cups he dropped recently, as if these crystal-clear goblets invented by the Alan Hill Empire had a grudge against him.
No, he stretched out his hand again, grabbed the glass full of red wine, and smashed it under his feet angrily.
The red wine splashed along the marble floor, flowing around like blood. He's dropped a lot of glasses these days, and dinner plates, and other messes.
Even his favorite decorations have been dropped a lot, especially those exquisite artworks from Alan Hill, which are expensive and exquisite, and they are more crisp and comfortable when they are dropped.
"What are they trying to do? Aren't they afraid that I will hang them all?" Hoarsely, the emperor of the Eternal Empire scolded several confidant ministers and the old former prime minister at the bottom of the steps.
Now, only in front of these people, he dared to put on such an arrogant face of His Majesty the Emperor.
If he goes out now, he is afraid that he will be torn to pieces by those rioters who raised their fists and shouted slogans.
Seeing these ministers and generals bowed their heads and remained silent, the emperor of the Eternal Empire could no longer suppress the resentment in his heart. He slapped the table and ordered loudly: "Let them go! Let them all go!"
His answer was still dumbfounding silence. The atmosphere was eerie and ridiculous. It seems that there is no living person in this room, and it seems that everyone is waiting for someone who is willing to stand up and be scolded to attract firepower.
The Emperor of the Eternal Empire, who couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, finally continued: "Okay! Okay! You don't talk, do you? Then I say! Order the Royal Guards! Send out my Royal Guards! Get those bastards gathered at the gate of the palace!" Drive them all away! Drive them away!"
Seeing that the emperor of his own family made another foolish move, the old former prime minister had no choice but to stand up again, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, absolutely not! At this time... If you use such a strong method, it is possible It will have the opposite effect!"
"Don't they think I'm their emperor anymore? Don't they want to rebel?" The emperor of the Eternal Empire is also a magician, or a relatively powerful magician. When he gets angry, he is still very deterrent of.
Because the Eternal Empire has ruled this land for thousands of years, the people here have also gotten used to the fact that they are members of the Eternal Empire.
Of course they don't want to rebel, but their country has been surrounded by another country, so how do they live?
When the sum of a country and a country borders on territory, the country becomes a besieged wretch.
All the imported materials of the residents here come from the countries that surround them, and all their economic activities are also dependent on the countries that surround them.
When everyone's interests are closely related to another country, voices calling for the merger of the two countries become a matter of course.
That's why the people here came to the gate of the palace so boldly, holding up banners and shouting slogans for His Majesty the Emperor to abdicate.
"They dare not rebel! Your Majesty, but if you use force, they may really want to rebel!"
"Your Majesty! Please think twice... Although your royal guards have no problem with their loyalty, if they are dispatched, the public will have more opinions on you... If you really accidentally kill someone, you may cause trouble Make a bigger riot..." A general pondered for a while, then followed the old prime minister's words to persuade him.
After a short pause, he added: "Although I promise that most of the Royal Guards are loyal to Your Majesty, it cannot be ruled out that some of them have already been bribed... So, if the army is activated at this time, there may be Being used by Xiaoxiao..."
In fact, his meaning is already very obvious. If the army is dispatched, it may cause even bigger troubles.
If the emperor insisted on going his own way, the royal guards stationed in the capital of the empire might have troubles such as mutiny.
The emperor of the Eternal Empire could only hold his nose and bear it when he heard his subordinates almost say "Your army is mobilized now and things may go wrong".
He really didn't dare to mobilize the army easily, maybe he didn't even know how he died!
God knows who in these armies is a fool who has defected to the Alan Hill Empire? At that time, if there is really trouble, and the Alan Hill Empire is given an excuse to intervene, then the gain outweighs the loss.
However, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart, the important thing is that you must find your place in your mouth.
I just heard him slapping the conference table and emphasizing loudly: "This is my capital! My soldiers are everywhere! That bastard Chris hasn't come to trouble me yet! What are they going to do? Ah? What are they going to do?"
The old prime minister raised his eyebrows, and at this time he began to persuade again: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, calm down!"
He knew that if they really mobilized their troops and began to suppress those who asked to join the Alan Hill Empire, then the Alan Hill Empire would definitely not sit idly by.
The best ending is that the Alan Hill Empire asks the Eternal Empire to stop the suppression, and then allows those civilians who voluntarily join the Alan Hill Empire to go to the Alan Hill Empire for refuge without restraint.
As long as this script continues, he can guarantee that within three months, the Eternal Empire will lose more than half of its population.
And the worse result is that the Alan Hill Empire directly sends troops to protect these civilians who are willing to join the Alan Hill Empire and then what? Then there is no more.
Once these soldiers of the Alan Hill Empire enter the Eternal Empire, they will never leave again. The Eternal Empire will be merged into Alan Hill as a matter of course, and at that time, no one can change this fact.
"Calm down! Calm down! You know how to calm me down! Look outside now, look! How can I calm down? Ah? How can I calm down?" the emperor of the Eternal Empire roared, and his voice echoed throughout the hall.
This is his home, a place he can control at least, and it is still an absolute domain that he can control with one hand!
So he kept yelling, venting the grievance in his heart, and deeply unwilling: "Do they still take me as their emperor? Do they still know what honor and loyalty are?"
"Those damn businessmen, and those nobles who run factories! They have already forced me to abdicate! If I hold back, will they let me lick Chris's shoes tomorrow?" After saying this, he was angry Panting and sitting back in his seat, the entire hall was silent.
Most of the Eternal Empire is actually already under the rule of the Alan Hill Empire. The only remaining Eternal Empire now is the original central and northern region.
Due to the lease of the elves and the westward railway, the northern region is already under the actual control of the Alan Hill Empire.
The southern region, as well as cities such as Gushan, have also been ceded to the Alan Hill Empire. The remaining regions are only a third or even a quarter of what they were in the heyday of the Eternal Empire.
What makes the emperor of the Eternal Empire even more angry is that the ministers under his command, as well as the rich, have already turned their hearts to Alan Hill, and have already regarded themselves as Alan Hill people.
When the Norma Empire was destroyed by the Rod of the Gods, and the Eternal Empire became a country within a country surrounded by the Alan Hill Empire, the high-level people of the Eternal Empire began to look forward to the Eternal Empire becoming a part of the Alan Hill Empire. kind of thing.
But the emperor of the Eternal Empire didn't want to surrender, at least he didn't want to give up all his strength when he was the emperor.
"Your Majesty! At this time, we can only bear it! The more the other party wants us to be angry, the more we must hold our breath!" The old prime minister broke the silence and continued to persuade.
A hundred years ago, he had worked for this empire for most of his life, and he didn't want to watch the empire he once loyal to disappear from this world.
Although the awareness of territory is very weak, it does not mean that there are no patriotic people in this world. The old prime minister loves his motherland, that is called the eternal motherland...
"They have already pulled the banner of persuading surrender to the gate of the palace! How can I bear this kind of thing?" I don't know if it is because of stubbornness, anger, or other reasons, the emperor of the Eternal Empire has stopped shouting, he is decadent Sitting in his seat, he complained softly.
"They dare not do it lightly under the banner of peaceful persuasion! Let's ignore their request and see what they will do next..." The former prime minister, who has always been the brains of the Emperor of the Eternal Empire, could only continue to persuade.
"The order to strengthen the border defense line has been sent out... I hope that those troops stationed at the border will not obey my order and ignore my order!" The emperor of the Eternal Empire said bitterly.
"I hope... But those ravines, and the blockhouses made of concrete... Can they really resist the army of the Alan Hill Empire?" After the old prime minister finished speaking, he glanced at the army standing aside. General Fang.
The military general shook his head lightly, which was equivalent to telling the truth to the old prime minister's crude line of defense, which couldn't stop anyone at all.
After thinking about it, he was relieved, and the old prime minister sighed. The end of the Norma Empire is just around the corner. At this time, expecting a quick concrete line of defense to stop the Rod of the Gods is no different from daydreaming...
