Chapter 688 Joint Council (3)

( ) He wasted a lot of words to explain his point of view, but the content is actually very simple.

Captain Tang will use "Aradelle" as a springboard to send all of them to hell in the not-too-distant future who lie on the heads of the people and drink blood and sweat.

It's just that he can't use the most straightforward and simple words to explain, because he is a politician and must follow the rules of politics.

Even if the aristocrats know that they are an exploiting class and that they are oppressing common people all the time, they will still wrap their evil nature in a cloak of nobility, greatness, and correctness, and maintain their decadent and degenerate rule with lies and brainwashing propaganda.

Even when facing your own people, you have to turn around and talk.

"For the sake of national territorial integrity, to safeguard the interests of all citizens, to maintain social harmony, national stability, and unity, all we have to do and can do is to drive the invaders out of the country by force, and let Tang Fang and his biological battleship Swarm back to the Covenant."

It is proposed to form a crusade army to go to 'Aradelle' to regain the territory belonging to the kingdom. "

He's done, he's finished at last... In some long-winded and lame words, the war waged for the protection of class interests has given it a noble and sacred aura.

Those words were like the emperor's new clothes in a fairy tale. They were obviously lies, but the nobles present chose to cheer loudly and applaud vigorously, even though they thought Tyron's long-winded words were a bunch of nonsense in their hearts.

This is reality, and this is the real version of "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Some so-called "fairy tales" are not fairy tales, they are more like the epitome of a tragic world.

The applause rang for a long time, most of them came from the area where the members of the new faction were sitting, and the faction on the fence was also working hard. Only the people of the old faction clapped their hands symbolically, and then returned to expressionless.

In a sense, this is a statement.

After the "Georgia" massacre, Tang Fang had completely turned against the aristocratic forces. Even the old-school forces represented by Henrietta had many people who were deeply hostile to him. Like Gilcott.

Everyone here is a member of an interest group in this country, so how could it be possible to watch others take away their own cheese, and then chop their heads with sharp knives.

Tyron held up his hands, motioning for them to stop.

The applause faded away. The venue returned to silence.

At this moment,

A Marquis got up and said, "The Arctic Wind Fleet is willing to listen to you."

He is Robinson, Surbacho's old neighbor.

Reeves Knar, the only surviving veteran of the Duchy of Knar who opposed the reformist faction, also got up and said, "The 'Josena' navy is at your disposal."

The projection of Duke Li Yun raised his hand and said, "Snapdragon Fleet is willing to do its best."

Servis stood up calmly, and said calmly, "The Black Iron Fleet."

"..."

They are all members of the new faction. It's normal to behave like this.

Those who sit on the fence did not move, and were still watching.

Tusana looked towards Tripathi's seat.

It was empty there, and even the projection equipment was never turned on.

Tripathi's close ministers said that he suffered a major blow because of the "Georgia" incident. After returning to the duchy from the Marquis of Arudiba, he fell ill and was unable to attend the joint meeting.

Will he not be able to send a representative?

Since the fall of "Georgia", Tripathi's behavior has been very abnormal. There is no condemnation, no scolding, and no soldiers approaching the city. The old man who is famous for his lust for beauty seems to have disappeared suddenly. There was no further sound to the outside world.

Such a situation is really abnormal, and it is confusing.

Of course, Tripathi's absence could not hinder the progress of the joint meeting, because Praisewell never thought of standing up for the Singh family, and Tai Lun's sensational statement just now was just to arouse the atmosphere of the scene.

This is a military action against Tang Fang by the aristocratic class of the United Kingdom of Turanx, not a war of revenge.

In fact, in the hearts of the core members of the new faction, they are very happy that the Singh family has been destroyed. It not only hit the disobedient Tripathi, but also created a suitable reason for sending troops, and buried those old guys who should have withdrawn from the stage of history. good time.

finally. The lords who sat on the fence couldn't sit still.

A black marquis stood up and said in a passionate tone: "The Gushen Fleet is willing to become the sword in the hands of His Majesty to destroy the enemy."

Another Latino marquis spoke out, expressing his willingness to join the Crusade Legion.

"..."

More and more aristocrats who sit on the fence joined in this line-up operation and delivered their certificates of honor to Psalmwell.

Turamon was sneering. Looking at the uncles on the rostrum, they sneered.

The ministers of the new faction were also sneering at the members of the old faction who always liked to sing against themselves.

Arnasi didn't sneer, he woke up from a light sleep and looked at the picture in front of him calmly.

Everything is moving forward step by step, without any surprises, and there cannot be any surprises.

After Tang Fang did such a thing. The old-school forces have no chance to turn the tables, and they don't even have the qualifications to stir up trouble.

They could only keep silent, and then resent Henrietta and "Morning Star Casting" in their hearts.

It was Tang Fang who drove them into a desperate situation, and it was Henrietta who didn't know who they were.

Anthem Will is very satisfied with the situation at hand, but he will neither look at his uncles and sneer like Turamon, nor will he be silent like Arnaci.

He suddenly interrupted the expressions of the nobles, and said in a slightly hoarse tone: "Uncle, I want to hear your opinion."

Henrietta was also the regent of the country, and as king and nephew, he should have consulted the old man on important matters.

According to common sense, he should seek Henrietta's opinion immediately after Tyron finished speaking, but he didn't, and he didn't say such a thing belatedly until the nobles of the fence-sitting faction showed their force field.

Is he unintentional?

No, he did it on purpose.

He was showing off to his uncle, and at the same time was a powerful pursuit of the old-school forces.

What could Henrietta have to say? Even if Kombat really moved Tang Fang's little brother, the biological battleship swarm was used to save people, but it is an indisputable fact that he killed a million nobles.

No one wants to be the second Tripathi, let alone follow the path of the Singh family.

Once he makes an opinion, it is tantamount to putting himself on the opposite side of the aristocratic class.

If it was just the "Aradelle" coup, with Henrietta's prestige, she might be able to be a peacemaker, but now, that is no longer possible.

Everyone thought he wouldn't comment.

Henrietta really didn't make any comments, but just raised that face that was calm in the past. Looking at the flushed Tai Lun on the podium, he said in an old voice: "I have no objection."

Gilcott's face became more resentful, Melore remained calm, and Arnasi lifted his sagging eyelids. I yawned.

The venue became calm, but the hearts of the people were not.

Although such a scene is reasonable and expected, hearing Henrietta's resignation still makes many people feel a lot of emotions.

Praise Will didn't show a happy expression. On the contrary, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.

He hoped that Henrietta would give an opinion. To be precise, he hoped that someone would come out to disrupt the situation and use that excuse. Then, he would have enough reasons to push this victory to the extreme.

Too bad Henrietta didn't, and neither did Mellor.

Gilcott wanted to speak, but he didn't speak after all, during the conversation before the joint council meeting. He broke up with Henrietta, but it doesn't mean that he will sing a different tune at a critical moment.

As Henrietta said, since Psalm Will directed the scene, let him carry the solo show to the end.

Drizzt stood up and walked towards the podium, his thin body cast a long shadow behind him.

Tai Lun glanced at him, left the podium, and returned along the same path.

Drizzt loosened the tie around his neck and put his hands on the edge of the podium, which made him look even weaker.

"It's easy to solve the chaos of 'Aradelle'. Tang Fang and his biological battleship group have no choice but to retreat in the direction of the army. But... have you ever thought that since he can easily break through the border warp speed interception net and enter the kingdom Inland, naturally have the ability to leave here. Return to the Star Alliance."

"'Dilal' is his base, and the Star Alliance government is the backer. Once the kingdom makes a decision to attack by force, it will definitely tear itself apart with that kid, and there is a danger of offending the Star Alliance."

"Now the Charles Federation, the Republic of Dorrancus, and the Star Alliance are helping each other. They have formed a united front, and the Silver Eagle Group is also ambiguous with the Adam government. Under such a situation, it is unwise to fight against the Star Alliance."

"In addition, Tang Fang was driven back to 'Dilal', so it's hard to guarantee that he won't hold a grudge. If he relies on the super mobility of the biological battleship to move around and commit crimes, the scene that happened in 'Georgia' will definitely happen again."

"Therefore, I don't think it is advisable to send troops rashly. Unless it can be fatal in one blow, otherwise, it can only attract enemies for the country."

"Just to ask, do the fleets under your command here have the ability to surpass the 'Mubarak' Eye Army? No... In all fairness, even if the Lionheart King's independent fleet is dispatched, it may not be able to wipe him out in one fell swoop."

"It's very difficult for him to defend 'Aradelle', but if he wants to escape, who is sure to stop the 'Morning Star'?"

Drizzt spoke quietly in words without any emotion.

No one spoke, even after he finished speaking for a long time, still no one spoke.

Tyronn and Drizzt are both close ministers of His Majesty the King, but they sang against each other on the same podium. This scene is very strange.

Many people didn't understand, and moved back and forth on the faces of the two with suspicious eyes, but more people showed contemplative expressions.

The scene where His Majesty the King has always relied heavily on the confidants who have different opinions is thought-provoking, and what Drizzt said makes people even more concerned.

People only think about standing in the right line and making the right choice between Henrietta and Praise Will, but they ignore that doing so will offend another person, Tang Fang.

Of course, he has become an enemy of the kingdom's aristocratic class, and it doesn't make much sense whether he offends or not.

But the vast majority of people are limited to immediate interests, ignoring possible disasters in the future.

Just like what Drizzt worried about, one-on-one, which fleet is the opponent of the biological battleship? Even if relying on the power of the legion to drive him out of the country, how can he resist the retaliation from the biological battleship swarm?

From the Star Alliance's attitude towards the "Georgia" massacre, it can be seen that the Adam government and the old things of the Star Alliance Council clearly intend to maintain them, and they may have reached some kind of cooperation agreement with Captain Tang.

The United Kingdom of Turanx has been focusing on internal fighting for more than 20 years. Is alone. Now facing the "Morning Star Foundry" and the four-nation group formed by the Star Alliance-Charles Federation-Dorlanx Republic-Silver Eagle Group behind it, it is absolutely weak.

Could it be that Tang Fang was allowed to act mischievously within the country? Ignore the "Georgia" massacre?

Some people from the fence-sitting faction and the new faction looked at each other in blank dismay, while the ministers from the old-school faction frowned and remained silent. Or looking at Drizzt on the podium with a look of astonishment, not understanding what kind of tricks Psalmwell is playing, why his confidant ministers go east and west for a while.

Edwina's projection flickered a few times. A soft voice sounded: "What should we do?"

She asked the questions in most people's minds. A lot of eyes focused on Drizzt.

Except Henrietta, except Mellor, except Tucson, except Gilcote...

Drizzt shook his head: "I...don't know."

"I don't know?" There was a burst of buzzing in the venue.

He said he didn't know? Tai Lun spoke impassionedly, encouraging people to send troops to quell the chaos. Protect your rights and interests. Drizzt said another sentence, telling people that the crusade against Captain Tang might lead to more violent revenge.

Who should they listen to? What is His Majesty the King thinking?

Many people looked towards the rostrum, they did not dare to look directly at Psalm Will, but glanced out of the corner of their eyes.

That face was cold, that face was stiff, that face was hard, like cast iron.

He raised his right hand to signal people to be silent, scanned the seats of the ministers of the three sects carefully, and said in an indifferent and unquestionable tone: "It's not enough to put down the chaos..."

"Tang Fang...must die." He made a final conclusion.

said His Majesty the King. "Tang Fang must die!"

Henrietta gently stroked the silver crutch, her face still calm. There was a sneer at the corner of Melore's mouth.

Turamon left the seat and walked to the podium.

Drizzt straightened up, bowed slightly to him, left the podium, and returned to his seat.

Before speaking, Turamon glanced at Anthemwell, then at Henrietta, then at Arnaci, and finally at the lords with different expressions. He said in his loud and powerful voice: "His base is in Dilar, and his backer is the Star Alliance."

"If 'Dilal' ceases to exist, or...the Star Alliance ceases to exist, he and his biological battleship will become rootless duckweed. They will eventually be lost in the long river of history."

Wow...

Not applause, but discussion.

Turamon's words were like the furious thunder that played the prelude to the rainstorm.

People looked at each other again, and took different times to read the same thought in each other's eyes.

"Dilar" no longer exists? The Covenant no longer exists? Turamon's subtext is to fight the Covenant?

"If Tang Fang and his biological battleship group are allowed to continue to exist, the foundation of the country will be shaken; if he is just driven back to his hometown, the United Kingdom of Turanx will never have peace."

"Since we have decided to cut the weeds, we must eradicate the roots." Turamon continued, "Now we have only one way to go. Erase Tang Fang and 'Dilal' from the world together."

"Yes, this is a war, a battle to defend the country!"

The venue became quiet again, and people were thinking about the speeches of Tyron, Drizzt, and Turamon.

Tai Lun told everyone that Tang Fang was doomed to be unable to coexist with the aristocratic class and co-prosper with the system of the United Kingdom of Turanx. If he and the Star Alliance's shit ideas were not driven out of the country, the foundation established by his ancestors would be destroyed. Just like the fate of the Singer family, everyone present will fall into the abyss of death.

This is a conflict of philosophy, a collision between the nobles who represent the exploiters and the leaders of the rebel army who represent the exploited. There is never a possibility of reconciliation, either you die or I die.

Drizzt told the crowd that it would be easy to drive him out of the country by force, but it would bring new disasters.

In the end, Turamon said that the United Kingdom of Turanx needs to launch a Patriotic War to erase Tang Fang and "Dilal" from the Hillenbel region.

Chasing and killing Tang Fang and attacking "Dilal" is equivalent to invading the Star Alliance, so this is very likely to turn into a war between countries, instead of casually forming a crusade as some nobles think Legion, you can relieve internal worries.

"So, this is likely to turn into a military crisis between the United Kingdom of Turanx and the Covenant."

Turamon said: "As Drizzt said, it is difficult for one country to compete with the four countries of the Star Alliance, the Charles Federation, the Dolanx Republic, and the Silver Eagle Group. Please don't forget that the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire are fighting with them. There is a stalemate, and the Phoenix Empire is holding back behind the Star Alliance."

"If you use troops against the Star Alliance at this time, whether it's forcing them to hand over Tang Fang, or cooperating with the Sulu Empire and the Mongya Empire, it's a good choice."

"What's interesting is that just a few days ago, Heloise returned from Monya with the kindness and request of His Majesty the Emperor Kirklaf, hoping to form an alliance with us and share honor and disgrace on the issue of dealing with the Star Alliance, advance and retreat together.”

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"

After he finished speaking, he licked his dry lips: "Whether it is the Sulu Empire, the Monya Empire, or us, we all have a common enemy, Tang Fang."

"The lion has been sleeping for a long time, its body is covered with dust, its claws and teeth have lost their sharpness, and its eyes have become dim. It needs to wake up and transform, and then it roars like a thunder, and regains its former majesty and vigor."

There is a lion on the flag of the United Kingdom of Turanx, wearing a crown, facing the rising sun, accompanied by a sword and shield, and standing in blood.

He stopped talking, took a glass of water from the maid, and drank it up.

These words were not impassioned or generous, but they were stronger than Tyron's earlier speech. (To be continued.)

ps: I fought the battle last night until 3 o'clock in the morning, and I was sleepy all day today, and I still have to work and code... It's hard~

I always feel that the heroic character of the protoss is not cute, and it is far from the excellent portrayal of human heroes.
