1279 I Have a Good Idea

In the federal government, there is always a group of people who use the research funds given to them by the federal government to do research that makes no sense.

For example, some of this group discovered through research that deterrence often occurs before the bullet is fired from the barrel of the gun!

To put it simply, when there is a military confrontation, both parties will maintain considerable restraint and have some fear. They will actively consider making some compromises and choices that will harm themselves in order to avoid being harmed.

But when one party launches an attack, such as pulling the blade out of the sheath and slashing, or pulling the trigger to fire a bullet.

Most people's tense nerves will short-circuit at this moment, and then many people will change their emotions or even their personalities.

They began to become unafraid of death, and even if they were seriously injured, they would not make it easy for the other party.

This has happened many times, from gang fights on the streets to hunters encountering a lone wolf in the jungle. Fear is the instinct of most people when there is no real face to face with life and death.

But when they really have to face death, people will become angry because of it, and in their anger they forget fear and death, and only think about defeating their opponents.

This phenomenon is magnified from individuals to the whole, and it is the same when magnified to a country.

The federal fleet was hovering near the island of Gefra. As soon as the news came out, the nobles who clamored to use force to oust the emperor fell silent.

Once war breaks out... there are many things that leave no choice.

Before the war broke out, they still felt deep fear, so they compromised.

Launching a coup without force sounds like a joke.

Since the Privy Council impeached the emperor, a large number of scandals about the royal family have been pouring out from every corner of the island.

One of the more lethal ones is about the identity of the emperor.

In fact... this issue has been discussed before by the princes and princesses of the previous generation. They do not think that the current emperor is the son of the previous emperor.

The reason is very simple. The emperor just accidentally had a relationship with a lowly maid. How could he give birth to a prince?

You must know that some nobles spend all day at home thinking about various forms of sexual intercourse just to give birth to offspring. As a result, often no offspring is born for several years, ten years or even a lifetime.

Not to mention those extreme cases, even ordinary people and ordinary families often need at least several, and as many as ten or dozens of opportunities, to conceive and give birth.

These people have reason to believe that the child in the maid's belly is not actually the blood of His Majesty the Emperor, and may be a bastard.

This argument was very popular during that time, and the current emperor was also called "the shame of the royal family."

The old emperor did not pursue the deeper truth. He just asked the current emperor, did he have the idea of ​​becoming an emperor?

His Majesty said directly that no, he was just a low-status member of the royal family, a bastard. Not to mention the pure blood of the royal family, he was not even a pure-blood noble. He was not qualified to be the emperor.

Perhaps the old emperor found that he had recognized his position, so he trusted him more, gave him a lot of support, and asked him to start contacting some work in the palace and be responsible for the safety of the palace.

This meant that he was excluded from the list of "candidates", the unkind rumors about him quickly died away, and his brothers and sisters forgot about him.

Until...he raised the butcher knife.

No one knows what kind of wonderful performance and psychological process His Majesty the Emperor had during this process. No one wants to explore these.

Whatever the winner says is right.

After many years, the arguments about whether his identity and bloodline were suitable were once again thrown out by the nobles. In addition, not many people were on his side this time, and the public opinion instigated by the nobles almost drove him down!

There were even some people with darker hearts who spread the idea that the emperor was a bastard and had obtained the throne through some ugly means.

Their only purpose was to oust this unorthodox emperor, and then let the nobles rule before the new emperor ascended the throne.

It's a very naive idea. Compared with these really troublesome attacks, His Majesty the Emperor's counterattack is really fierce, checking one by one and arresting one by one.

There are always some people with dirty butts. As long as they catch these handles, they will seize the title.

The hatred between the two sides continued to escalate, and some nobles even threw stones and other things outside the palace into the palace to express their inner anger!

At this tense time, Lynch went to another country southeast of Gefraben Island, only one day away.

The reason for going to another country is for communication security.

On the mainland of Gefra, it is difficult to guarantee that the Gefra people will not eavesdrop on the Federation’s diplomatic calls, but in another country, no one knows whether a call to the Federation is a diplomatic call or an ordinary international call. .

As the status of the World Development Council in international trade becomes higher and higher, more and more non-member countries want to join and have trade relations with the World Development Council.

You cannot stop trading with these countries just because they are not member countries. This is obviously an abnormal relationship.

Trade is possible, but sensitive goods and technologies cannot be traded. This is the gap between members and non-members of the World Development Council.

For example, non-member states cannot buy Blackstone Aviation's "latest" engine technology, but member states can.

Regardless of whether they are member states or not, most countries in the world, to a greater or lesser extent, have frequent trade relations with the Federation.

An ordinary phone call, no one will pay attention.

After about five minutes of "safe chit-chat," the call was transferred to Mr. Trueman's desktop.

"I didn't tell you about the fleet. Communications are not very secure, and I don't think it will affect your work there."

Mr. Trueman explained that this reason was a bit far-fetched, but Lynch accepted it.

The coming or not coming of the fleet had little effect on his plans.

After he answered twice casually, the two of them continued the conversation.

"The country is also paying close attention to the political situation of Gaevra. I have recently noticed an interesting thing. It was originally the Prime Minister who promoted the anti-imperialist movement, but now he is hiding behind the scenes. We all think this is very interesting."

The first person to propose the abolition of the monarchy was the Prime Minister. He had been fighting for power with the emperor for so many years, remained dormant for decades, and became world-famous for his efforts.

He even proposed the idea of ​​abolishing the monarchy, and many people regarded him as a pioneer of the times.

But for such a pioneer of the times, suddenly silent, people have to think of more things.

Instead, a group of nobles began to jump up and down. Of course, the Prime Minister was also responsible for this.

Mr. Trueman's words were very careful, "We wonder if there are other changes..."

Lynch immediately gave him an affirmative reply, "Yes, the Prime Minister and I talked privately and talked about the terrible consequences of the aristocrats' chaos in power, so..."

After hearing this, Mr. Trueman showed an expression that said, "It's true that you don't do any fucking good things." Since he met Lynch, Lynch has never done anything good.

This is what he thinks. Every decision he makes and every idea he comes up with can bring misfortune to a group of people or people in a field.

It was like this before, and it is like this now. He seems to be a born conspirator, but he still succeeds every time. This is really... gratifying.

After all, he is harming the Gefra people, so this is not objectionable.

"They must hate you now, if they know that you are constantly pushing these things to happen." Mr. Trueman laughed, "I asked the Navy to arrange a submarine to pick you up if necessary. .”

Lynch thought about it and didn't refuse.

"I suspect that the great nobles have reached some agreement with the royal family, so the ministers headed by the prime minister and the great nobles suddenly retreated, leaving the nobles at the forefront."

"The emperor of Gefra is not a stupid person. He is smart enough and decisive."

"But he jumped into a 'trap' without any precautions. I think this is very unreasonable."

"Of all the possibilities I can think of, the one that has the best chance of them reaching some kind of agreement is the one that has the best chance."

"The royal family retained its privileges, and then the royal family cleared out some nobles. Finally, the great nobles and ministers represented the nobles and completely removed the emperor."

"In this way, the reform of the monarchy will be successful, the number of aristocratic groups will be greatly reduced, and the royal family will maintain some of its privileges..."

When Mr. Trueman heard this, he began to think seriously.

After about twenty or thirty seconds, he had some ideas, "In this way, Gefra's turmoil will only last for a short period of time, and then it will appear in a posture that none of us like."

Mr. Trueman's expression at this time was complicated. A monarchy Gaevra was really too dangerous.

The danger is that the will of the entire country is tied to the emperor alone. He can start a world war with Pengeo over a trivial matter, or stand on the opposite side of the Federation because of a trivial matter.

There doesn’t even need to be a “little thing” happening, just a little “nervousness”!

It is the most beneficial choice for the security of the federation to let the emperor of Gefra withdraw from the core of decision-making. A rational Gefra is easier to guess than a single husband.

But this will also make people face a fact that they have to face. After this change, Gefra... is likely to stop its decline and start thinking about going uphill again.

Lynch also affirmed Mr. Trueman's judgment, "So I plan to give them a little surprise. It will be difficult for Gefra's ruling class, nobles and civilians to unite in a short period of time."

"Even if they stop the downward momentum, it will take some time to go back uphill!"

Mr. Trueman didn't think about what Lynch was going to do. He knew that he would definitely not think of it, so he asked directly, "What are you going to do?"
