Chapter 532 Tit-for-tat Conversation
When Crowder said in the mouth that there would be no longer the Sterling royal family, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly calmed down. Prime Minister Blanchard just smiled and looked at Claude not talking, while General Albert looked at Claude and looked at Prime Minister Blanchard again, but couldn't say anything. As for Claude, he stared closely at Prime Minister Blanchard's face, watching the change of expression on his face ...
I don't know how much time has passed, it seems to be long, it seems to be short, just when General Albert was so eager to yell at this depressed atmosphere, Prime Minister Blanchard finally put the empty cup in his hand. On the table: "One more ..."
As if the balloon had been pierced with a needle, and the light leaked out, Prime Minister Blanchard said in this sentence that the tense tension and depression no longer existed in the tent. Crowder silently opened the remaining bottle of fruit wine, and slowly poured the orange transparent wine into the empty glass of Prime Minister Blanchard.
Prime Minister Blanchard raised his glass again and tasted slowly, Claude said nothing, filled his glass with fruit wine, and placed the remaining half of the bottle of fruit wine in front of General Albert. He motioned for himself. Instead of pouring the fruit wine into his empty glass, General Ablont grabbed the bottle directly and poured it at the mouth of the bottle ...
This time, Prime Minister Blanchard did not finish the fruit wine, but only took a few sips to look at Claude: "What do you think will happen to the Kingdom of Ovilas without the Sterling family?"
Claude shook his head: "I don't care about the consequences, even if the kingdom is going to get worse, it doesn't matter to me. Because we have all returned to the overseas dominion at that time, regardless of what will happen to the kingdom ... ... "
"Actually, these things can be inferred." Prime Minister Blanchard laughed. "First of all, your overseas dominion army will become foreign invaders, because you occupy the capital and lose the Sterling royal family. Then all the noble factions of the kingdom will give up their disputes and unite, calling on the people of the kingdom to fight against you invaders from overseas dominions, as well as the crime of killing the couple and the royal family of Sterling.
You will defeat the Alliance army, help the heroes of the kingdom unify the eastern region, become the rebellion in the hearts of the people of the kingdom, and be the culprit in bringing the kingdom back into the flames of war and blood. Even if you use your powerful combat power to suppress the riots in the kingdom, you will not be able to stay in the eastern region for a long time. Because you only have the strength of two legions, you can't control the territory of the kingdom now.
The so-called name is not correct, I can't imagine what kind of name and excuse you used to rule such a large kingdom after occupying the capital of the king. With the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps, the only thing you can control is the kingdom, and you will face ups and downs of local rebellions. So are you ready to give up in the Kansas Prairie, Eskilin, Rimodera and Sidings? What is the significance of the victory of the Second Eastern Regional War?
We, the Kingdom of Ovilas, have not had time to restore the Kingdom's vitality since the end of the First World War. From the colonial war provoked by the Kingdom of Hicks, to the civil war that took place in the battle for the Second King, and until now the debt war and the Second Eastern War after the war of Her Majesty Frederick I, the people of the Kingdom have had enough After the suffering of war, they are very eager for a peaceful and peaceful life, and no one wants to continue the war.
So for your entry into the capital, your Majesty the King has maintained the greatest kindness and tolerance. He believes that your overseas dominion will not destroy this hard-won peace. This is also where I appear as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom to welcome your army. the reason. If you use a small misunderstanding as an excuse to wage war and undermine the peaceful situation in the kingdom, I believe the people of the kingdom will be disappointed and angry with your overseas dominion, and they will spontaneously rise to resist.
The king is now an undefended city for you. You can rush in, kill, rob, set fire, and commit adultery. Just like the sins of the Alliance Army, you can do it again, and let the entire people of the King be once again in the tragic world of aquatic heat. If this is your wish, then I congratulate you, and you will soon be able to achieve your wish, Her Majesty the King, Minister of the Royal Court, including me, and the people of the King's Capital.
"Uh ..." General Ablont jumped directly from his chair: "Prime Prime Minister, our Thunder Corps is not an enemy of the kingdom, please do not describe us as that Alliance army, our Thunder Corps The generals will never do anything against the people of Wangdu. We are soldiers of overseas dominion, not criminals ... "
Claude could only shake his head and grin, and mourn for General Albert Abrent's poor political IQ. Couldn't he hear that this was the intimidation of Prime Minister Blanchard, and responded to exactly what Claude said after the war, and there was no threat of the Sterling royal family.
"Since the kings are all undefended cities, I believe we will not encounter resistance when we enter the city tomorrow. This is a good thing. I believe we can quickly complete the task and **** our overseas dominion members and representatives of Jinjue officers. And the huge sum of 30 million kronor funds embarked on the way back. "Claude watched Prime Minister Blanchard toast:
"If our parliamentarians and representatives of the military officer Jinjue have not suffered any personal injury, and the capital of 30 million kronor is not bad, then I believe that the misunderstanding made by Her Majesty in the letter must be true. Her Majesty the Queen is also for us These parliamentarians and officers' representatives are in the interests of their personal safety before transferring them and their funds to the palace. It is understandable that a small error occurred during the period. Do you mean it, my dear Prime Minister? "
This time, the smile of Prime Minister Blanchard suddenly became bitter. He avoided Crowd's eyes, raised the glass and swallowed the fruit wine. Then he said with a reluctant smile: "Actually That night, because it was really hasty, the palace guards sent to help were a little eager to complete Her Majesty's order, and did not explain clearly to your people, and even had a small conflict with your parliamentarians and military representatives. The individual was injured a little bit, but I guarantee they are not in any danger to their lives ... "
Claude snorted and put the glass on the table: "Let's be honest about what happened that night. As for any excuses, we don't need to mention them. I just want to know that, How many of us are injured, how many are safe and sound, and how many are still in prison by you.
You can leave it now, but tomorrow we will find out the truth of the matter soon after we enter the city. Do n’t blame us for revenge without saying hello to you. Because first of all you deceived us and concealed the truth ... "
"Marshal, there is a saying in our Vale continent that tells the minister not to speak up, I believe you have heard this sentence." Prime Minister Blanchard said sincerely:
"The meaning of this sentence is not to say that as a courtier, you can't blame the king for his fault. It means that after a king has made a mistake, as a courtier, he is not to blame the king for making such a mistake, but to actively respond to it This wrong situation, as far as possible to mitigate and eliminate the serious consequences of this mistake made by the king, this is the responsibility of the courtier.
You and I understand the cause of this time. Her Majesty's letter was indeed an excuse, but he was also helpless. After all, it was His Majesty the Queen, his wife, the prince's mother, who was pregnant now and could not be greatly stimulated.
So even if she made such a big mistake, Her Majesty could only endure her anger and clean her up. Just like ordinary families, conflicts and quarrels sometimes occur between husbands and wives, but this time the incident is particularly loud ...
I know that your overseas dominion is very dissatisfied with Your Majesty ’s refusal to give you discounts and offers, but what you do n’t understand is that it is not His Majesty and the Prime Minister of my Kingdom that do not give discounts and offers, but we have not Method.
Do you know how many kingdom aristocrats have been firmly opposed to allowing your overseas dominions to enjoy the same treatment after acquiring hereditary family territories? For Her Majesty and the Prime Minister of my Kingdom, the pressure is really great, and it was not easy to use conditions that did not give you discounts and concessions so that your overseas dominion would also be eligible for a seal order.
In a way, the benefit of the ban to the Her Majesty and the State Treasury is really great, so large that it makes many kingdoms and noble families jealous. After we finally repaid the huge military expenditures owed over the years and the loans loaned from various noble families, there was not much money left in the treasury.
This is for a new kingdom that has been abolished, and is unable to support the implementation of my kingdom ’s economic revival plan, so we can only put our ideas on the wealthy overseas dominions, hoping to get the Jinjue fee and land selection from you Fees can solve this funding problem.
Frankly speaking, this is the best time for the kingdom's revival. His Majesty's use of the gift order has lifted the kingdom's old noble family power to restrict the kingdom's economic, political and military aspects.
A large number of veterans of the aristocratic family in the army have been cleared, and they have truly controlled the direct jurisdiction of the three major legions of red dragons, griffins, and guards. There is no need to worry about any mutiny. The only thing that is lacking is the huge amount of money to implement the Kingdom's economic recovery plan.
But what we couldn't think of was that the members of your overseas dominion and officers ’representatives thought this was very unfair, refused to accept the hereditary clan territories, and placed the huge amount of 30 million kronor in front of the palace. On the small square, the whole capital was sensational.
His Majesty and I, the Prime Minister, were jealous of your huge sum of money, but never had the idea of using this money. Her Majesty the Queen was annoyed that your four representatives were rude to her at the Royal Court, and wanted to resolve her distress and lack of funds, so she claimed to send a palace guard to your office in Wangdu. Something went wrong ... "
"You shut up 1" Claude raised his hand to stop General Albert who was about to speak, and this guy was almost taken in by the Prime Minister's true words. Claude was afraid of his mind. A hot shot of the chest promises something ...
Watching General Albert's grievances and closing his mouth, Claude then turned to look at Prime Minister Blanchard, his eyes slowly sharpened: "Master, as a soldier in an overseas dominion, I What I want to know is, how much mistake did Her Honourable Queen make that night, and how much harm did the Royal Palace Guards she sent to our autonomous parliamentarians and military representatives?
I don't want to know how much the His Majesty the King lost his hair in order to revive the kingdom's economy, and how much the 30 million kronor money brought by our dominion to the kingdom is of any help and significance. In my opinion, things are actually very simple, as our President Henderman said at the Wang Ting Dynasty, this is actually a transaction. Now that prices are inconclusive, the deal is naturally untenable.
If it is a general commercial transaction, one party offers too much and the other counteroffers too low. If the two parties can't reach an agreement, they can only slap in two. This is a very normal situation. It's just our overseas dominion. The object of this transaction is His Majesty the King. In the case that we cannot counter-offer, we think that the bid is too high and we can only abandon this transaction. In order to show our sincerity, we have specially shown you the funds we carried.
What we didn't expect is that you actually met Caiyi, arrested our members and representatives of Jinjue officers, snatched the huge sum of 30 million kronor that we took, and sealed our overseas autonomous territories. Wangdu's office. Is this something a king and queen can do? If our Dominion does not have a strong military force, I believe that our people will succumb to death in the cell, and you will enjoy this money with our peace of mind ...
Prime Minister, you said a lot of words to us, it sounds like we should forgive your faults, understand your difficulties, and understand your helplessness. But after speaking for a long time, you still haven't answered the question we are most concerned about. Let's open the door and talk about the resolution of this incident. How do you want to solve this problem?
The first thing we want to know is the situation of our people, whether they are dead or alive, the Prime Minister must give us an explanation of the overseas autonomy. Secondly, the wealth belonging to us must be returned by a lot of pennies, because that is the wealth belonging to the dominion. Third, we want to know whether Her Majesty the Queen who has done wrong will be punished, and what kind of punishment will be. Finally, does Her Majesty have any compensation plan for us? "
Prime Minister Blanchard's smile was about to hang on his face, and Claude ignored his rhetoric at all, referring only to the words of the core issues that made him feel very uncomfortable. But he couldn't help it. Now that he was ready to come to meet him, he still couldn't avoid these most critical issues ...
"I'm sorry ..." Prime Minister Blanchard lowered his head with thick brown hair: "The guard of the palace was ordered to go to your king's office that day. There has been a small conflict between your deputies and the representative of Jin Jue. Both sides have used weapons, but fortunately, they were stopped quickly, without causing major casualties.
Thankfully, only 47 members of your parliamentarians and military officer representatives have been injured. They have received the best treatment and no life threatening. The staff of that office and a large group of guard soldiers, because they were stopped by Marshal Bolognik, did not participate in the conflict, they were only disarmed, and they are now under house arrest in the barracks ... "
Crowder's mouth slowly twitched upwards, showing a mocking smile: "I don't understand whether the Prime Minister, our parliamentarians and military officers were injured in the conflict or were tortured after being arrested. And the injury? We went to nearly a hundred representatives, and almost half were injured. How could this not be the same as the small conflict you claimed?
If wounded in the conflict, then even Marshal Bolonick cannot stop the counterattack of the guards, otherwise they would be negligent and subject to military law. Only after they are arrested and unable to resist, can so many members of Parliament and Jinjue officers be injured, and the guards are powerless ... "
"This is mainly because your parliamentarians and officer representatives were arrested and offended by the words of Her Majesty the King and Her Majesty, which led to the royal guards angrily giving them some physical punishment. So many people were injured ... "Prime Minister Blanchard explained embarrassingly ...
"Oh ..." Claude sneered, "If we didn't send a post from the Eagle Eagle, telling you that without me and Ellen, Bick signed, no one has the right to use that. With a huge sum of 30 million kronor funds, I believe that more than 60 hereditary nobles of our overseas dominion have been freshly released, and that money is used as their promotion fee and land selection fee. Is it your pockets? "
"No ..." Prime Minister Blanchard reluctantly said, "We do need your huge sums of money to carry out the plan to revive the Kingdom's economy, but Her Majesty and I, the Prime Minister, will not use your Dominion without permission. Her Majesty the Queen has made a mistake, but Her Majesty is trying to eliminate the impact of this mistake.
We all do not want war to be fought because of this small mistake, and therefore ruin the kingdom's opportunity. Even if money is needed, we can borrow it from you, or borrow from you, without using deception to get your money ... "
"So how do you punish Her Majesty the Queen for making this mistake?" Claude asked again.
Prime Minister Blanchard opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head in vain to say something: "You know, Marshal Claude, Her Majesty the Queen is pregnant with her body. This is her second child with Her Majesty, so we No way to blame or punish her ... "
