Chapter 299 The East Wasteland Tribe Falls Into Chaos
"Don't any of you have anything to say?"
"Didn't you clamor for help from the Eagle Tribe and revenge before?"
"Why are you all silent now?"
Finally unable to hold back, the angry and anxious cabinet leader raised his eyebrows and roared.
Even though it was like this, the cabinet members remained silent as if their mouths were sealed.
For three consecutive days, their foreign affairs department issued a condemnation statement and clearly informed the outside world that they were bullied, but the tribes on Blue Star remained silent.
Isn't this obviously not making any response?
"Leader, haven't the representatives we sent to the Eagle Tribe responded yet?"
At this time, someone asked.
"I haven't seen any high-level officials from the Eagle Tribe."
The cabinet leader responded helplessly, weakly.
When they heard this, everyone's heart was like being poured with a basin of ice water, and they instantly cooled down by half. They knew too well what this meant.
That's right, the East Wasteland Tribe was abandoned by the Eagle Tribe.
All the alliances and defenses, all of them are just for the Eagle Tribe to protect their own interests.
When they were really bullied, they disappeared.
The Longxia Navy has bullied them right to their doorstep, okay?
"Forget it."
The cabinet leader said sadly, "Everyone stand up and go to see the chief with me!"
Everyone was unwilling, but there was nothing they could do.
The situation has developed to an irreversible point, and they need the chief to personally come forward to solve this problem.
Otherwise, if they continue to do this, the East Wasteland Tribe may face a more serious economic crisis, and the external security loopholes will definitely become larger and larger. Over time, the White Bear Tribe in the north will definitely come out to make trouble.
When that time really comes, the East Wasteland Tribe will be in great trouble.
Just surrendering publicly, how humiliating and shameful that would be?
But if they don't do it, they have no future.
Under the leadership of the cabinet leader, all the members stood up and walked out of the conference hall.
The leader walked in front, his expression was particularly solemn, and his mood was even worse. The cabinet members who followed him had a sullen face, and even three axes could not cut through.
The group got on a special car and traveled through the night to the palace.
The palace, located in the Kyoto area, is the residence of the chief of the East Wilderness Tribe. It also represents the highest power of the East Wilderness Tribe and has a long history.
There was a knock on the door in a residence in the palace.
"Come in."
An empty voice came, sounding weak.
The staff hurriedly walked in and reported to the chief sitting on the bed.
"Chief, the cabinet wants to see you, there is something important."
The chief nodded gently. He had expected that knocking on the door of the bedroom late at night must be something big.
He suddenly lost all sleepiness.
He was very clear about the shelling in the middle of the night for several consecutive days.
The Longxia Navy not only surrounded the Donghuang tribe, but also fired artillery shells inland. Recently, it has been upgraded to the point of launching missiles, which has disturbed the entire Donghuang people and made them panic. They dare not sleep at midnight.
He is very clear about this matter.
He has also heard about the conditions proposed by the Longxia tribe, which require them to surrender publicly and pay compensation.
As for the specific content, how much compensation, and what mode of surrender should be used, the cabinet and Fujiwara Norika and other relevant personnel have not disclosed it specifically.
And this time, perhaps the truth will come.
It also proves that the cabinet and the generals of the Self-Defense Forces have no choice but to ask him, the chief, to come forward.
In fact, from the perspective of the constitutional monarchy of the entire Donghuang tribe, the chief has no real power, but is more of a symbol of the highest power of the country and the spiritual pillar of the people of Donghuang.
If something happens to him, the morale of the people of Donghuang will definitely be low.
He naturally doesn't know that this time, he needs to personally submit the surrender letter for public surrender!
"Change clothes."
The chief only uttered two words.
"Yes, Chief."
The staff immediately called the attendants to help the chief change his clothes, put on formal clothes, and tidy up his appearance.
After everything was arranged, the chief, accompanied by his staff, slowly walked into the brightly lit hall.
Looking around, all the cabinet members gathered here.
"Stand up."
With an order, the cabinet members who were originally sitting stood up hurriedly.
"Your Majesty the Chief!"
The head of the cabinet took the lead in shouting, and the rest of the people also shouted in unison, collectively bowing to welcome the arrival of the chief.
The royal rule that has lasted for thousands of years is still preserved in the Donghuang tribe, which is also a system they are proud of. Even though it was reformed after World War II, it is still preserved.
Even though the cabinet holds great power, they still maintain a high respect for the chief.
This is the hierarchical royal system!
The chief walked into the hall, his old eyes flashed with an extremely sharp cold light, sweeping across the solemn faces of everyone, and a trace of coldness appeared in his heart.
This was not a good thing.
Without any reaction, the chief walked to the chief position with vigorous steps and sat down.
Everyone sat down under the leadership of the leader.
"It's so late at night, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
The chief said expressionlessly, without any emotional fluctuations in his voice.
"Huff, huff!"
After taking two deep breaths in a row, I, the cabinet leader, spread out the documents that I had prepared long ago, and then stood up to report.
"Your Majesty."
"A lot of unpleasant things have happened recently. First of all, General Hayaki Murashita of the Maritime Self-Defense Force made a series of wrong decisions, which caused us to lose the support of many allies."
"Even the Eagle Tribe left us alone. They very rarely stood on the side of the Longxia Tribe."
"At present, the Longxia Navy has deployed troops in the waters of my tribe and directly threatened me with force. Recently, every time it was past midnight, they fired artillery shells or missiles to attack my inland, from the initial 50 kilometers to the current 300 kilometers."
"It directly caused the Kyoto area. Direct threat, our air defense forces organized interception, the success rate was 97%, and it did not cause much damage. "
"The biggest loss is that more than one-third of the people in my tribe are under the threat of missiles and live in fear."
"It has caused a very bad impact on production in various places, people's livelihood, and all aspects."
"It has been reflected in the stock market. Many investors have lost confidence. If this continues, the economy of my tribe will surely collapse, and the people's hearts will be broken... There is a danger of national destruction!"
Perhaps to exaggerate the tragic atmosphere, at the end of the report, the leader's tears flowed out, looking very sad.
Of course, he put all the responsibility on Murashita Hayaki.
He also wanted Kumamoto Tokugawa to know who should bear the terrible consequences next.
"You, you said that the Longxia tribe asked us to surrender publicly? And also asked us to pay war reparations?"
Kumamoto Tokugawa's face suddenly fell, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Chief!"
Hearing the straightforward response, Kumamoto Tokugawa was furious.
"Baga!"
"My Donghuanghai has dominated the Dongzhou Sea for decades, and its main forces have all been sunk. Is it impossible for the Longxia tribe to give up?"
"When has my Donghuang tribe ever suffered such injustice?"
"Now the Longxia tribe is actually going to trample on my tribe's face, will they be satisfied?"
"Assholes, where do they put the national dignity of my Donghuang tribe? How can the millions of heroes who died in the battle of my Donghuang Empire rest in peace?"
The angry roar of Kumamoto Tokugawa was stirring in the conference hall. The cabinet leaders were so scared that they dared not breathe, fearing that the fire at the city gate would affect them, the old catfish.
After venting, Chief Kumamoto Tokugawa's emotions were slightly released and he fell silent.
"What is the attitude of the Eagle Tribe?"
"Didn't I ask you to arrange someone to go?"
After a while, Kumamoto Tokugawa spoke again, his tone was much more relaxed.
"Our commissioner did not meet any of the Eagle Tribe's senior officials. They all refused to meet."
The cabinet leader responded quickly, and then explained that the East Wasteland Navy had violated the Blue Star Alliance's resolution and opened fire first, implying that they had provoked this maritime conflict.
The Longxia Navy's counterattack this time was a legitimate defense, and it was unanimously agreed by the members of the Blue Star Alliance, including the Eagle Tribe.
For this matter, a second round of voting was held. The resolution was very favorable to the Longxia Tribe, but very unfavorable to them.
"Chief, according to the news sent back by Kojima Yukio, the Blue Star Alliance decided to support the Longxia Tribe in seeking compensation from us and demanding public surrender."
"This time, the Longxia Tribe has a comprehensive advantage."
"We can't get the support of the Eagle Tribe and other allies."
The cabinet leader's words directly extinguished the last glimmer of hope of Kumamoto Tokugawa, and the East Wasteland Tribe had no chance to struggle.
All the ways out were blocked by the Longxia Tribe, and only surrender and compensation were left for them.
In just a moment, Kumamoto Tokugawa's eyes became dull and his expression became a lot more depressed.
If the cabinet leader hadn't brought it up, he would still be kept in the dark. He would never have thought that the Donghuang tribe would fall into such a state in just a few days.
"Baga!"
"It's all your fault. Even our staunch allies are not on our side."
"If it weren't for the Longxia Navy forcing you, would you still come to me?"
After a moment of silence, Kumamoto Tokugawa's old eyes shot out sharp light, staring at the cabinet leader and his gang, and shouted.
"I'm sorry, Chief."
"We thought it would be resolved, but we were abandoned."
The cabinet leader broke out in a cold sweat, and then changed the subject, "Your Majesty, General Murashita Hayaki will give you an explanation for this matter."
He was cursing in his heart at this moment, but he didn't dare to show it, and even pushed Murashita Hayaki out as a scapegoat.
His intention was very clear, that is, to clearly tell Kumamoto Tokugawa that all your anger should be vented on that bastard Murashita Hayaki.
At this time, Murashita Hayaki, who had been late, hurried over, and after getting permission, he quickly passed the seat that belonged to him and came directly to Kumamoto Tokugawa.
"Plop!"
Under the angry gazes of the crowd, General Murashita Hayaki knelt down and buried his proud head.
"Your Majesty, Chief, I, Murashita Hayaki, am guilty."
"I am a sinner of the East Desert Kaiji, and even more so of the East Desert Tribe."
"It was my poor command that caused all the losses of the East Desert Kaiji's forces. Please punish me!"
Murashita Hayaki said loudly in an extremely sad tone, with a very serious look of repentance.
As he spoke, he kowtowed three times on the ground.
Because he was too excited, his body trembled.
When he saw Murashita Hayaki, a cold murderous intent flashed in Kumamoto Tokugawa's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
That's right, at this moment he really wanted to kill the bastard in front of him.
If it weren't for Murashita Hayaki's poor command and untimely response, how could the East Desert Kaiji suffer such serious losses and the annihilation of the main force? What a terrible consequence!
Even if it is to be restored, how long will it take and how much money will it cost?
"Let's talk about your business later. Now stand up! Go back to your seat."
Kumamoto Tokugawa shouted coldly, "I ask you, what is your specific solution for the Longxia Navy?"
"The Longxia tribe is very determined and wants 15 billion US dollars in compensation, not a penny less!"
Fujiwara Norika hurriedly told the situation. Thinking that he was defeated by an unknown young man, he was not very comfortable. He almost had a psychological shadow.
"15 billion US dollars?"
Kumamoto Tokugawa suddenly realized something and was shocked. "Longxia tribe wants half of our annual military expenditure, Baka!"
The head of the cabinet suddenly looked very miserable. He said something was wrong, but he didn't know where the problem was.
After the chief reminded him, he remembered that the annual military expenditure of the Donghuang tribe was just over 30 billion US dollars, and this year it was going to increase by 30% to 39 billion US dollars.
Longxia, the person in charge of the negotiations, was very ruthless.
"Your Majesty, Chief, we have calculated that if the Longxia Navy does not withdraw, the losses we will suffer are incalculable."
"In the past few days alone, our losses in various aspects have exceeded 15 billion US dollars."
After thinking for a while, the head of the cabinet spoke, his face full of helplessness. He could only blame the Longxia tribe for being too ruthless and almost grasping their lifeline.
Then, he did not speak again.
He believed that Kumamoto Tokugawa had fully understood the meaning of his words and would make his own judgment.
But he felt that he was really pitiful. He actually had to find reasons to convince himself for the huge claims of the Longxia tribe, and now he came to convince the supreme ruler of the Donghuang tribe.
"After compensating the Longxia tribe, the military expenditure of the Self-Defense Forces will be halved this year."
Kumamoto Tokugawa looked at Murashita Hayaki with great disgust, "Don't be resentful. The Self-Defense Forces will have to tighten their belts in the next two years!"
His voice was very low, but it was unquestionable.
Although he has no real power, he will still make the decision without hesitation when it is time to do so.
Murashita Hayaki and others did not dare to refute at all, and could only accept it silently. This matter was as absurd as it could be, and it was unimaginable in the past.
