1851 New Emperor
The young count and others stood in front of the TV and told the federation and the world about Pengeo's crimes. In front of the TV, the nobles who were discussing how to seek help from the federation officials completely lost their ability to speak.
They are the most suitable people to become the founders of the government-in-exile, and each of their surnames represents a piece of history!
Even in the international community, they have a place!
They were also discussing this matter in the room, but it seemed that they were a little late.
"No one notified us!", the voice of a hereditary marquis was filled with flaming anger.
He clenched his fists and punched the armrest of the chair, "And I heard that they have immigrated to the Federation. They cannot represent Gaevra at all!"
There is only one Duke in this group of people, who is a bit older, in his seventies.
He was among the first batch of nobles to flee. He left more calmly and took more property with him.
After the Royal Bank of Gefra took a back seat from the royal family, it was taken over by the aristocratic group.
As one of the great nobles of Gefra, he easily transferred his property from Gefra to the Federation.
Of course, only the part that can be transferred, there are still a lot of real estate and works of art that cannot be dealt with in a short time.
The war broke out, the price of art plummeted, and those items were hidden in his family's secret vault.
He has been with the Federation longer than others, and he has gradually seen clearly what the Federation is!
He raised his hand to calm down the angry Marquis, and then his sluggish, slightly yellowed brain turned for a while before he slowly said——
"The Federation allows multiple citizenships, and didn't you find out?"
"The news came yesterday that the government-in-exile was formed tonight, and I don't think it was the decision of these young people."
"It's not that I look down on them arrogantly, I just expressed my truest thoughts."
"These little guys haven't gone through the struggles that we've gone through, and they're far less sensitive to politics, to these big things, than we are."
"This is most likely a method of the federal government. After they discussed it, it was established and recognized..."
The old man's tone was very soothing and his words were clear. Someone interrupted him at this time.
"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency, if I follow what you said, wouldn't there be nothing we can do?"
The personal relationship between the great nobles was pretty good. In the Middle Ages, they fought against each other, but since the royal family stole their supreme privileges, they have joined forces to fight against the royal family.
The old Duke was not angry because others interrupted him.
He quietly listened to the man's thoughts and shook his head, "If the federal government is behind all this, we can't do anything."
“Not only cannot it be done, but we must also show our support for the legitimacy and decisions of the government-in-exile at the appropriate time.”
He was still so calm, "Because this is the Federation!"
In one sentence, everyone was speechless.
Yes, this is the Federation.
If they offend the federal people, the federal people don't even need to treat them, they just need to declare them to be deported.
At that time, they are likely to face pursuit from Pengeo, or other greedy people will target them.
After all, the status of aristocrats represents huge wealth. Even the down-and-out aristocrats are not really poor!
The old Duke saw through the essence of the development of the matter at a glance, and he did not want anyone to do something they shouldn't do in a hurry at this time.
These people are different from the little count.
People like the little earl had already joined the Federation with the help of Lynch. Now they are citizens of the Federation, and of course they are also nobles of Gefra.
They enjoy everything they can here, but these big nobles are different.
They are just outsiders, and their application for entry is war asylum.
They are not qualified to speak here.
The news that Gaevra established a government-in-exile in the Federation soon spread throughout the world through various radio waves in the shortest possible time, including Gaevra's own island.
Due to the existence of submarine cables, delivering these messages is just a matter of phone calls.
The Minister of War was very tired after working until midnight. With his help, the Pengeo people successfully entered the imperial capital of Gefra and began to plunder wealth.
During this process, some small resistance groups formed spontaneously and tried to fight against the Pengeo people, but in the end they were quickly wiped out.
Once something is done, there is no turning back, you can only grit your teeth and keep doing it.
When he got the news, he didn't bother to rest and went directly to the outside of the palace.
The palace was now naturally occupied by the Penteo officers, who had established an institution here to temporarily preside over the work of Gevra.
The supreme commander is the commander-in-chief of the army. His job is to send all the wealth here to Pengeo for the empire, and to urge the country to resume production as soon as possible.
The commander-in-chief received the minister of war in the emperor's former study.
Speaking of which, the two sides do have some similarities in cultural heritage. They were both feudal dynasties for thousands of years, and they also have some similarities in culture.
"Commander-in-Chief...", the Minister of War stopped outside the door.
The commander-in-chief is a Pengeo male in his fifties. He has gray hair, regular features, a straight nose, and a somewhat aquiline tip.
The deep gray eyes looked a little unsettling.
He is very strong, not fat, but strong, which puts a lot of pressure on people.
"Come in, my friend!" When the Commander-in-Chief smiles, it doesn't make people think he is very kind, but rather he seems to have bad intentions.
Of course, his feelings are sincere. If someone hadn't stabbed him in the back, they wouldn't have been able to take over the entire island of Gefra so smoothly.
Currently, the soldiers are gradually taking over other cities with the help of the Gefra Army Headquarters.
Except for some conflicts that occasionally broke out, it was basically very peaceful and there were no casualties.
All this is due to the Minister of War.
Although he despises this person from the bottom of his heart, he still has to show his appreciation for him. At this time, he needs a "role model" like him. All this is to better rule this country!
The Secretary of War entered the room without sitting down.
In the past, whether the emperor was in power or the prime minister was in power, they would ask him to sit down.
They will also serve him some tea and pastries, giving him a very relaxed and comfortable environment.
But now, he could only stand.
"Commander-in-Chief, I just heard the news..."
Before the Minister of War finished speaking, he was stopped by the Commander-in-Chief, "I also heard the news. The federal people responded quickly, but we will not be slow."
"According to the previous plan, we would have established the post-war government of Gefra as soon as possible."
"But the federal people are moving faster than us, so we plan to do this first tomorrow morning."
The Minister of War's breathing became a little faster, and his heart was also in a state of turmoil.
Now in Gefra, the great nobles have either escaped or been captured.
Isn't it true that you are the only one who can stand up at such a critical moment and shoulder the responsibility of continuing the country's important mission?
This is also the thing he desires most. If he can become the leader of this post-war government, no matter whether the Pengeo people leave or not in the future.
He was able to use this time to firmly grasp the country and the power in his hands.
The commander-in-chief continued as if he did not notice the change in his mood and expression, "We will select someone from among the royal family. No one has a more pure blood than the royal family."
"And you, continue to be your Secretary of War."
Not even the Prime Minister!
The Minister of War was lost for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me for being rude. Members of the royal family simply cannot bear this responsibility!"
The commander-in-chief interrupted him again, "But their status is noble!"
"You have to understand, all we need is a puppet. If you want to be a puppet, you must be worthy of being a puppet!"
"The blood of the royal family is the most suitable candidate. No one will object to such a candidate, including you. Am I right?"
The Minister of War could not continue to refute. He felt really uncomfortable if he continued to refute. He finally lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Excellency."
The commander-in-chief smiled and said, "Very good. You understand what I am thinking. That's good."
"We actually still need to rely on you in many places. You have to understand that puppets have no meaning except to look good."
"Power is the most valuable thing!"
He paused slightly as he spoke, "We are going to open the Royal Bank's vault tomorrow. Please make arrangements. I don't want to encounter any accidents during this process!"
The War Secretary had no choice but to leave.
The next morning, the royal family of Gefra, a princess who was only fourteen years old, swore in front of many cameras to become the fourth queen in the history of Gefra.
At the same time, she also formed the post-war government of Gefra, and signed a defeat compensation agreement and other provisions with the Pengeo mission.
The TV station broadcast the news live on the island. Less than half an hour later, about a hundred civilians stormed the palace and were shot dead on the spot, with blood flowing into rivers.
The entire island fell into a sad atmosphere...
In the palace, a little girl wearing the emperor's exclusive clothes made overnight was sitting on the throne in fear. She turned back and glanced at the aunt beside her, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She never thought that she would become the emperor one day, let alone under such circumstances!
The candidates for the post-war government were all provided by the Pengeo people. Basically, these people were traitors to the Pengeo people early on!
Looking at the entire hall, there is no one of my own!
