Chapter 1504 Key Problem

"Don't look at me like that, I definitely didn't do this..." The butler coughed and said helplessly, "Oh... Madam is really worried about your getting married as soon as possible."

Hearing Grussier's words like this, he couldn't think of who betrayed her, and in his heart he scolded the woman who covered her face in black veil all day...even if the other party was her mother.

The housekeeper didn't know what he was thinking, and asked in a probing tone: "Master... for Clodia's request for a ride, shall we agree or not?"

………………

Under the careful operation of the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire, what happened at the Omega space station did not cause waves in the international community. Those who care about the international situation in the Hillenbel region focus more on the territory of the Phoenix Empire, because following the good news of the withdrawal of the Covenant Navy, the disappearance of the Zerg armed forces, and the return of the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress to the Dilar star system, another A big news spread.

After Virginia Alexander returned to the Fillmores star system, Marlo Smith quietly took away the Capital Guard. Not long afterward came the news that the Phoenix National Defense Army led by Kursk Alexander was ambushed and defeated.

This battle marked the official end of the civil war in the Phoenix Empire, and the radical forces were completely defeated. Ingrid Alexander and Kursk Alexander led a few warships to break through to the dead sea, and fled all the way to the United States of Jupiter on the opposite bank.

As early as when the Radicals decided to join hands with the Anubis Legion, they had already arranged their retreat in advance. People like Kursk Alexander, Sfinkel Alexander, and Lawrence Alexander transferred a lot of wealth to the United States of Jupiter through various channels, including their illegitimate children, illegitimate daughters, and lovers.

Ingrid Alexander and Kursk Alexander are very clear that they are in danger, and the best way to deal with it now is to flee to the United States of Jupiter, where there are various resources transferred by their parents earlier... Only by mastering them all In his hands, he can recruit troops and buy horses to make a comeback.

In fact, not only the two of them escaped, but those big and small mud legs who followed the leaders of the radicals and actively persecuted the conservatives were also transferred through various channels in order to avoid liquidation. Those who had a way fled to the United States of Jupiter, and those who had no way took their daily search The people of the people fled to the Mongya Empire, the Sauron Empire and other countries.

Marlo Smith returned triumphantly, and Virginia Alexander held a grand celebration ceremony for him, announcing that he was given the title of Marquis of the Empire, and at the same time appointed him as Minister of the Interior to lead the cause of reform.

This incident has caused fierce repercussions at home and abroad. People from democratic countries such as the Star Alliance, the Charles Federation, and the Dolanx Republic are increasingly optimistic about the future of the Phoenix Empire. They believe that under the leadership of Marlo Smith, the reform of the system will be smooth If it continues, perhaps in the not-too-distant future, this country will be reborn like the United Kingdom of Turanx.

Some conspiracy theorists have other worries. Virginia Alexander appointed Marlo Smith as Secretary of the Interior to lead the reform of the Phoenix Empire. It can be said that he has given him unlimited glory and power, but from another perspective, he has also taken away his hands. above the military power.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing so, after all, one moment and another moment. Today, when the radical armed forces have been beaten and defeated, the key affairs of the Phoenix Empire have shifted from military warfare to post-war reconstruction. Among them, the innovation of the system is the top priority. It is necessary to have a courageous, prestigious, and meritorious person. Only those who are brave and capable will be able to gnaw down this hard bone.

Henrietta sits in the United Kingdom of Turanx, and Commissioner Cui Enhao works hard. The Phoenix Empire has Virginia Alexander sitting in town and Marlo Smith practicing it. From this point of view, this arrangement is reasonable.

The Earl of Marlow... No, it should be called the Marquis of Marlow now. On the first day he officially took office as the Minister of the Interior, he submitted the proposal to abolish the racial discrimination against Morris slaves to the cabinet.

It was his promise to the Maurice slaves, and his reward for the sacrifice they had made to protect Virginia Alexander.

His aggressive style makes those nobles who have not fully adapted to the status quo feel disapproving, but they dare not say anything more, because everyone knows that Marquis Marlowe is now a popular person in front of His Majesty, and to offend him is tantamount to offending His Majesty .

Morris slaves scattered in various regions of the empire were all elated when they heard the news, and regarded Marlo Smith as their savior, the great sage... His reputation faintly surpassed that of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

On the other hand, Morrison, who was affirmed, began to actively seek his own rights, which inevitably brought about many changes and influences on society. Just like carrying out institutional reforms, you have to face resistance from the aristocratic class, because they, as national parasites, must obtain various benefits by compromising the rights of civilians, and Morris slaves, as the lowest and humble humanoid labor in the Phoenix Empire, used to be civilians Classes provide cheap services... such as the cheap labor that male Morris slaves can provide, such as the cheap XING services that female Morris slaves can provide.

Now Marlo Smith has written the protection of their rights into the national law, affirming that they enjoy the same rights and status as ordinary people. The people who depend on exploiting them for a living are very dissatisfied, and use extremely insidious means to instigate Morris slaves with limited IQ behind their backs, triggering vicious incidents one after another in the society, in order to resist Marlo Smith's reform measures.

Many people don't understand the truth that a war with gunpowder smoke is not the most terrible thing, but a war without gunpowder smoke is the most frightening. Enemies with knives and guns can be seen, but enemies with honey and swords cannot be caught with eyes.

Because of the frequent occurrence of vicious incidents caused by Morris slave's difficulty in controlling his emotions, even some people in the society who are willing to see reform also have a wavering phenomenon. Ask yourself whether it is wrong to support Marlowe Smith's idea of ​​promoting the equality bill. Morris slave Perhaps they really shouldn’t be given equality and freedom... Just like some people say, beasts without thought should be put in cages. This is safe for ordinary people and responsible for the people.

Some of them realized a cruel reality from this incident, and felt guilty and sad about it. They look at Morris slaves like this, so if one day the reform is pushed to a deeper level, will the aristocrats and officials from all over the world look at them with the same eyes? Think it's right to keep them in cages.

This is really sad and helpless.

Many people were waiting to see Marlo Smith's jokes, including the nobles of the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire and other countries dedicated to ZHI, some evil people who feared that the world would not be chaotic and hoped to get chestnuts from the fire, and the nobles of all sizes who were involved in the officialdom of the Phoenix Empire With corrupt officials... Of course, as stakeholders, they are not just watching with cold eyes, waiting to see the jokes of the young Marquis, but also secretly making some small moves, passively responding to the Equality Act, and even softly resisting it.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. In many cases, the difficulty of reforming from the top is far more difficult than resistance from the bottom up.

Marlo Smith has amazed the world in the matter of leading troops to fight, but he can't even take the first step in the matter of reform.

In a battle, the enemy may be just a few people or a group of people. It is clear that they are real swords and guns. However, things like reforms are often invisible to the enemy...at least they can't be seen clearly, which is full of intrigue and treachery. No matter how talented people are, they will also encounter setbacks that are difficult to overcome.

Just when the outside world had different attitudes and thoughts about Marlowe Smith's situation, Gabriel Tosh was holding a cigar in a space station in the Fillmores star system, and looked at it over and over under the lamp. .

"You know... I think of a person from your actions, and he is also so... special."

Zagara... No, it's Bai Yue now, spraying the smoke accumulated in his lungs all over his face: "Are you talking about Aros?"

"Of course." Tosh flicked off the ashes of the cigar: "It's a pity that I didn't get to spend more time with him. I have a good impression of him, but it's a pity..."

Zagara followed him to light the ashes from the end of his cigar, shrugged and said, "I thought you were going to laugh at me for being stupid for sucking that smoke into my lungs."

Howson had smoked cigars since Aros' death. Since Aros' death, he has learned to inhale the smoke into his lungs... It can be said that ordinary people do this to die, but they are not ordinary people.

Aros loves that thing to the extreme, so he can play like this. Not Zagara, he just thought it would help him remember that person better.

"Time is an insatiable monster, constantly sucking our memories. Many times we can only struggle feebly, not so much as a fight, but as a wail. It's really ugly."

The sage Morris was in his usual tone again, talking teeth-stinging words.

Izsha walked over and forcibly removed the cigar he was dangling from his mouth, and threw it into the nearest trash can. He glanced at Tosh who was leaning against the wall: "Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

He here does not refer to Captain Tang Fangtang, but to the newly promoted Marquis of the Phoenix Empire---His Excellency Marlo Smith.

Who will be the biggest beneficiaries once the Equality Act is fully promoted? Naturally, it is Morris slave. As the outstanding figures of Morris slave, Yizixia and Bai Yue, their ideal is to help Morris slave obtain a better living and living space, instead of always being slaves of the empire, the slaves of the rich. vassal.

When the two joined Morning Star Casting, Tang Convenience promised them a bright future. Now that the Phoenix Empire has reached a crossroads of change, they are naturally more nervous than Tosh in dealing with this matter.

Tosh smiled and said, "Don't worry... You know that guy is now the most popular Minister of the Interior in the empire. He has a lot of official duties, and he is much busier than idlers like us."

Hearing this, Yizixia stopped talking, gave Bai Yue a warning look, and walked to the sofa next to him to sit down.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Marlo Smith rubbed the center of his brows, dragged his tired body in, and frowned involuntarily when he smelled the pungent smoke that filled the room. .

The unhappiness didn't stay on his face for too long, he nodded with a few people, walked to the single sofa opposite Izsha and sat down.

Tosh raised his head and exhaled a mouthful of smoke, then turned his face to look at his profile and said, "Then...Mr. Marquis, what is the purpose of you calling us here this time?"

Marlo Smith took something out of his pocket and threw it over: "You want it."

Tosh took it in his hand with a snap, and spread his five fingers to reveal a golden butterfly knife.

"Tsk, tsk, you are really trustworthy...but it's too ostentatious for someone like me to use it." He just talked about Aros's pure gold lighter in a conversation before, feeling that veterans should at least give Yeager Leave something that can be used as a souvenir, and a ghost agent like him... as the name suggests, is just a shadow in the world, a lone soul wandering in the world, dead when they die, no one will know their stories, No one will miss them, let alone worship at the grave.

Marlo Smith was drunk and said he had a special present for him.

He thought it was just a drunkard's nonsense, and he didn't take it to heart at all. How could he know that Marquis Marlowe had never forgotten this promise after drinking, and even threw him a golden butterfly knife during this meeting.

Now he doesn't have to be jealous that the veteran has the golden lighter given by Captain Tang...

Bai Yue's gaze moved from Marlo Smith to Tosh, and from Tosh back to Marlo Smith, with a strange look in his eyes.

"I am willing to be the torrent, the small river in the mountains, passing by the rocks on the rough road; as long as my lover is a small fish, swimming happily in my spray; I am willing to be the wild forest, in the river On both sides of the river, facing gusts of wind, I fight bravely; as long as my lover is a bird, singing as a guest among my dense branches; I am willing to be ruins, silent destruction on the steep cliffs, not To my dismay..."

"Shut up." Izixia yelled angrily, interrupting Bai Yue's affectionate recitation.

"It's really boring." Bai Yue shrugged, dissatisfied with Izsha's attitude of bitterness and hatred. He knew why she was like this, and in his opinion, so what the fate of Maurice Slave, since he was born in this world, he had to work hard to live, just like the poem that Captain Tang accidentally read --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't make the golden cup empty to the moon when you have all the fun.

Izsha's shouting made the atmosphere in the room tense, and it was not as relaxed as before.

Marlo Smith withdrew his gaze from examining Bai Yue, and said solemnly, "I will trouble you both next."

"We should be the ones expressing gratitude, not you," Izsha said.
