Chapter 2585 Surprise Change (Recently Reviewing Friday the 13th)

Sure enough, it's still the day.

Looking at the silver battleship slowly descending from the sky, Oliver smiled wryly.

In fact, since the independence of Closbell, the empire has been in chaos. The aristocratic faction took this opportunity to accuse the reformers of not being able to act in time, which caused the empire to lose such an important place as Crossbell. And when the troops sent by the Empire were annihilated by Crossbell's warships, and even Karelia Fortress was completely wiped out, the aristocratic faction once again strongly condemned Prime Minister Osborne's dereliction of duty, saying that he had gone to Crossbell to participate in the Western Conference During the Mulia business meeting, they were not able to find out the reality of the other party, which caused the empire to suffer such a serious blow.

All in all, it was all Prime Minister Osborne's fault, after all.

The aristocratic faction not only used this to suppress the reformers, but even asked Emperor Jugent III to continue to attack Closbell, saying that "the imperial soldiers would rather smash the jade than be whole, and surrender is not the dignity of our empire. Glory, I would rather fight to the death."

Although the aristocracy said it was aggressive, Prince Olivet understood that they were just using this to put pressure on the emperor. After all, the rise of the original reformists was inseparable from Jugend III. And if this matter can be used as a cover to make Jugend III give up the idea of ​​​​reform and continue to maintain the existing aristocratic system of the empire, then it would be great.

"Hey……………"

Thinking of this, Prince Oliver sighed. Now that the empire is fighting openly and secretly, and Jugend III decided to sign an agreement with Fangzheng to recognize the independence of Closbell in order to cut through the mess quickly.

Prince Olivet knew what his father was thinking. After all, the Calvard Republic had already surrendered first, and it would not be shameful for them to sign the contract. But as long as Calvard's ugliness is publicized, the empire's own problems will be ignored.

And as long as the dust settles, the aristocratic faction will no longer be able to take advantage of this, and Jugend III can also take this opportunity to slowly deal with them.

But Olivet felt that his father was a little too hasty. You must know that although the aristocratic faction took advantage of Closbell's incident, there were indeed many people who opposed the emperor's recognition of Closbell's independence. Under such circumstances, the emperor forcibly signed an agreement, and the consequences are unpredictable...

Although this already gave Olivet a headache, when he looked at Fang Zheng who walked off the spaceship alone, Olivet's head hurt even more.

"Hey, it's been a long time... Or it's not been long?"

"Hello, Mr. Fangzheng."

Olivet also greeted him with a wry smile, then he looked left and then again.

"Just you?"

"I can't help it, everyone else is busy, and the little girl doesn't want to go a long way...... So I can't help it, I have to come alone, it's not a big deal anyway, it's just a formality. "

Fangzheng spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. Just like what he said, Cross Bell is now a waste of time. Although the system team is still the same, the brand new constitution and the revision of laws and regulations are also very troublesome. In fact, Founder originally planned to let Ellie follow a group. After all, she is the daughter of Speaker Closbell, so she has status. But on the one hand, Ellie was busy with headaches, and on the other hand, she also felt that it was too embarrassing for her to meet the emperor of the empire, so she desperately refused to go.

As for Ling and Tiou, Fangzheng had already taken them around the empire, so naturally he wasn't interested in making another trip.

Only Tolixia and Tova's identities are more embarrassing. Tova is okay. Her family has already migrated to Libel, so there is no major problem. But Tolisha is different. Her uncle is now the Chief Executive of the Scarlet Capital, and she is now holding an important position in Starlight Technology... Although Tolisha also thinks that Crossbell's independence is not a wrong act, but to She went back to face her uncle and brother, which still made her a little embarrassed.

So after thinking about it, Tolisha also chose to refuse to go with her.

Xiao Hei and Yi Liya had no interest in this kind of occasion, and it was too big a scene for the mental models to follow, so finally after thinking about it, Fang Zheng should come alone.

Anyway, this is the same as signing a house sales agreement, it's just a formality.

Go faster and maybe make it home in time for dinner.

Generally speaking, such an agreement would take several days to entertain guests. But Fangzheng is waiting to go home for dinner, and Jugend III is also afraid of long nights and dreams. After obtaining Fangzheng's consent, he decided to keep everything simple in this signing ceremony. Speech to the outside world, followed by the signing ceremony between the two parties, and then each went back to each house to find each mother... Well, from a certain point of view, Erebonia, as a "defeated country", did not want to hold any special grand ceremony to entertain The culprit who robbed his own territory.

So just like that, under the leadership of Olivet, Fang Zheng met Jugend III, the princess, and several princes in the palace hall.

"Hello, first time meeting, His Majesty Jugent III."

Fangzheng greeted Jugent III with a smile, as if he was just waving casually.

"Hello, Mr. Fangzheng, I have heard about you for a long time, but I never thought that our first meeting would be on this occasion... May I ask how should I address you?"

When Jurgent III said this, he also looked at Fangzheng suspiciously. Although Fangzheng took control of Crossbell on behalf of Starlight Technology, he only announced that Crossbell was independent. Regarding his own position, Fangzheng did not disclose at all.

Is it the head of state? Prime Minister? prime minister? king? or something else?

"The title is just a title, you can call me whatever you want, um... If you insist, you can also call me the consul."

"Consul?"

Hearing this strange appellation, Jugent III froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Understood, Your Excellency the Consul, it's okay for me to call you that."

"Of course, I don't care."

While talking, Fangzheng looked at the entire hall in front of him. Although it was a signing ceremony, only the king, princess, several princes and guards were present in the hall. Many ministers and nobles were missing, but the emperor Jugend III seemed very magnanimous, and the princess sitting beside him was also very calm. In addition, on the left and right sides of the two stood two teenagers and girls wearing red royal uniforms. The teenager standing beside the king looked a little young, and he looked at Fangzheng with a few eyes. Divide fear and anxiety. The girl standing on the left side of the princess is also slightly older than the previous boy, with wavy golden curly hair. She looked at Fang Zheng with curiosity and excitement, and even a little sparkle in her eyes.

On the other hand, Oliver was standing further away. Logically speaking, as a prince, he shouldn't be standing there, but I heard that Oliver's background seemed to be a bit problematic, so even though he was the eldest prince, he didn't have any problems. A way to inherit the throne... well, no wonder it would be like this.

At this moment, the iron-blooded Prime Minister Osborn’s speech has already started to sound from the loudspeaker outside. Of course, the content of the speech is nothing more than that although Crossbell made a rebellious move, the empire cannot bear to start a war and let the civilians suffer in it. It seemed like that, but for Fang Zheng who knew that the train guns of the Imperial Fortress fired at Crossbell at that time, this kind of rhetoric seemed very funny.

"Your Excellency the Consul, please."

At this time, his subordinates had already arranged the long table for the signing. Jugent III stood up from the throne and made a gesture to Fang Zheng. The latter also nodded, and then the two sat down on both sides of the long table. Immediately afterward, someone put the agreement in front of both parties, and then all they had to do was wait for Prime Minister Osborne to finish his speech and then sign the agreement, and everything would be fine.

Now Prime Minister Osborne's speech also changed the topic, and began to accuse the terrorists of the Imperial Liberation Front, accusing them of vilely invading the fortress, and almost causing a tragedy by themselves... Well, if Fang Zheng hadn't seen it himself Seeing that the Karelia fortress was bombed without even scum left, he wondered if this person had personally experienced any fort invasion incident.

It seems that talking nonsense with your eyes open is indeed a consistent trick of all politicians in the world, nowhere is there an exception.

"We should muster all our strength and overcome all these sufferings until..."

However, at this moment, suddenly, the outside voices stopped.

This made Jugend III quite surprised. He put down the pen in his hand and looked at the gate suspiciously, while Fang Zheng also looked over curiously.

What's the situation?

"Report to Your Majesty!!!"

But soon, a guard rushed in.

"Prime Minister Osborne was sniped by unidentified armed men during his speech and died!"

"what!?"

Hearing this, Jurgent III was taken aback and stood up.

"Is this true?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we can see clearly...the other party seems to have launched a sniper attack in a place that we can't take care of, and we are currently tracking down the murderer..."

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!!"

At the same time, another soldier rushed in.

"Just now, a battleship suddenly descended from the sky and appeared on the Imperial Square! The opponent released a large number of humanoid weapons and is attacking us!"

"What? Your Excellency Fangzheng? You..."

"Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me."

Facing Jugent III's gaze, Fang Zheng waved his hand, and the soldier also hurriedly spoke.

"That was not an attack from Crossbell, Your Majesty, the enemy is... the aristocracy!"

"what?!!!"

Hearing the report, Jugend III was taken aback immediately, but at this moment, with a loud bang, the originally closed door was blasted open, and then several robots rushed in, killing Fang Zheng and Jurgen Te III and others surrounded them!
