Chapter 3473 Alone and Alone

Upon hearing this, Master Dewey tapped his finger on the table and said with a smile: "Once Simmons Locke dares to attack the combined forces of Dasay City and York and Hancheng, he will definitely not let go of Airui City."

"What do you think he will do?" I asked curiously.

"According to what I know about him, Simmons Locke will definitely cause an accident during the melee and massacre the army in Airey City."

"Why is this?" I asked puzzledly: "Isn't the Ai Rui City army an ally of the York Han City army?"

"Allies. Haha, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, it is true, but in the eyes of Simmons Locke, it is not the case." Master Dewey said: "A true monarch like Simmons Locke will only identify with his status. As an ally, Carter Horton has always been suppressed by aristocratic groups and national power organizations, so how can he be regarded as an ally by Simmons Locke?"

"At most, it's just a cooperative relationship."

"I see." I nodded: "No wonder Simmons Locke showed disdain when I mentioned Carter Horton in front of him."

"Understood." Master Dewey nodded slightly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then slowly said: "There are only three people who can truly be regarded as the same status by Simmons Locke, one is the Fairy Queen, and the other is me. , and there is another one, the Beastman King.”

"The Orc King?" I was even more puzzled: "He can't even restrain his own ministers, how can he be regarded as someone of the same status by Simmons Locke?"

"You said the Beastman King can't restrain his ministers? That's not necessarily the case." Master Dewey put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Do you know how the old Duke became the regent?"

"Didn't he become the regent by detaining the Beastman King by virtue of his military power?"

"These are just appearances," Master Dewey said: "The real fact is that the Beastman King asked the old Duke to be the regent, and he became the regent, not the old Duke."

"How is this possible?" I said in shock: "Whether it is the version I heard, the intelligence I obtained, or the analysis I gathered together with my family, it is the old Duke who has seized power. Why did the Orc King take the initiative to let the old Duke seize power? Huh? This doesn’t make sense!”

"Let me ask you, Xiaoyi, what will happen to a person when his power reaches its peak?"

"Has your power reached its peak? Or will you rest on your laurels and enjoy the fruits? Or will you develop greater ambitions and go further?"

"That's right" Master Dewey said: "As long as there is still desire, no one can stop moving forward. It is no longer a question of whether you want it or not, but what you must do. Only by continuing to move forward can you have The value of continuing to exist, this is the political arena.”

Hearing this, I said in disbelief: "Could it be that if we don't move forward, someone will kill the old Duke's family?"

"If we really choose to move forward, the old Duke family can at least continue to be glorious for several generations, ten generations, or even dozens of generations."

"Then why did he choose to go further?" I was very puzzled and asked, "Isn't it better to be more conservative?"

"He really wants to be conservative, but his family doesn't want to be like this." Master Dewey sneered: "Have you been the prime minister of Dasai City for so long, and you don't even see this cause and effect? ​​Let me ask you, mentioned What is the first thing that comes to mind for you when you think of these five words, 'Dasay City Military'?"

"It must be the old Duke!" I blurted out.

"Yes, that's the question," Master Dewey said, "Let me ask you again, who is the monarch of Dashai City?"

"Orc King" Suddenly, I stopped my voice and became sluggish. After a while, I said, "It's actually because of this."

"Don't underestimate a mere name. Many people dare to kill for the sake of a name, and their blood will flow like rivers. What's more, it is for the sake of belonging to the national army."

"But, isn't our army in Fort Vicky also under the control of President Oli? Don't you also trust him absolutely?"

"This is different," Master Dewey said, "Let me ask you, when it comes to President Oli, who would think of the military commander of Fort Vicky?"

I thought for a moment and shook my head: "No one would associate the Fort Vicky Army with President Ollie."

"This is the cleverness of President Aoli" Master Dewey said with a smile: "Although he has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, from his ancestors to his generation, he has never thought of serving in the national army. Personal things added to the name, the army, are always royal things and have nothing to do with their commanders."

"But the old Duke is different."

"The old Duke doesn't seem to put his name before the army, right?"

"No," Master Dewey sneered, "but his nephew does, and even his relatives put their family name before the army. Do you know what this means?"

Hearing this, I frowned and said in a deep voice: "No matter how loyal the old Duke is, he still cannot escape the suspicion that he might establish himself as king."

"That's it." Master Dewey said with a smile: "The Orc King saw this, so he deliberately pushed the situation and handed over the highest power of Dashai City to the old duke. The only purpose was to make the old duke and his family understand that for the Being a king and governing the country cannot be achieved by simply controlling the army."

"But when the Beastman King did this, didn't he think that it might bring disaster to the people of Dashai City?"

I asked sternly.

"Haha, of course he can think of it, but this is also the reason why Simmons Locke treats the Orc King as a monarch and emperor like himself. Although the Orc King also cares about the people, for the sake of the stability of the country, he can be determined , giving up part of the people he loved."

"This is the posture of an emperor."

When he said this, Master Dewey exuded an overbearing aura that was difficult to look at directly.

That's not the pressure of a strong man, it's purely the suppression of courage.

"So, when the Orc King regains power, he will pardon the old Duke?"

"Of course," Master Dewey said: "Although the old Duke was encouraged to harbor treason, he did not commit any real act of treason. At most, he only proclaimed himself regent, but the position of monarch still belongs to the Beastman King. Such behavior It is different in nature from treason.”

"What about his nephews and relatives?" I asked.

"Dead" Master Dewey sneered: "Not everyone can be pardoned. Those nephews and relatives did not save the country, but they committed treason. When the old Duke was in power, they acted recklessly and wantonly. If you don’t kill someone who is harming the people, why should the people be angry?”

"But in this case, won't the old Duke become a loner?"

"What can you do if you become a loner?" Master Dewey said calmly: "This is the cause he planted, and he must bear the corresponding consequences."
