MTL - Please Sink In Happiness-Chapter 165
Chapter 45
About a year ago, the land of the Kingdom of Sri Lanka was invaded and colonized by the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Shengluer and the North Sea Parliament. At that time, the people in charge of the Kingdom of Shengluer included Duke Machiavelli, Marshal Forrenzo, and Admiral Grouchy. The conservative aristocratic force of the aristocracy, and now with the death of the core figures Duke Machiavelli and Admiral Grouchy, the conservative aristocratic force has also collapsed immediately, and Louis XIV has begun to re-examine the value of colonizing Sri Lanka.
"I don't want any dogs in this land."
Louis XIV said privately to Lotte, the girl he trusted most. .Huan;:Welcome\"Enter?!Enter?【,!Hi;Er\";'s:.Picture:?Book.\'Gallery;:]:.7;4?.6?:0,9.: \"4!0:7\";6?
"Why do you say that, Your Majesty?"
"This land is located in the most barren south of Dongzhou, where the climate is hot, the people are lazy and ignorant, they can only grow a small amount of crops, and so far no rare resources have been mined, and the streets are still full of animals pulled by animals. Shit, in my opinion, it would be better to give up as soon as possible to keep the army in that shit-smelling place and spend a lot of money to maintain stability."
"Then why did you send Leclerc, who was recently promoted to lieutenant general, to that land?" Lotte was a little puzzled.
"Because Lieutenant General Leclerc is essentially a good man, he can't be a colonizer. Others think that I am interested in his military talents and let him go to Sri Lanka to maintain stability. In fact, my purpose is to make him disrupt the situation," Louis XIV said as if With a fox-like smile, he said, "What should a good colonizer do? First of all, he should unite with the local princes and nobles in Sri Lanka, and then oppress their people through the local dignitaries, squeezing their people like beasts. A person of conscience cannot learn to be tyrannical or be a bad person, so let him go to Sri Lanka and our colony will inevitably fall."
For this, Louis XIV had full confidence, and he wanted to withdraw the army from Sri Lanka with the help of Lieutenant General Leclerc from the beginning.
Although the result of doing so will lead to Lieutenant General Leclerc making enemies, becoming a thorn in the eyes of conservative forces of the nobles, and even impeaching Lieutenant General Leclerc and demoting him.
But what about demotion?
Human lifespan is very long, and after three to five years, Louis XIV will find an opportunity to promote Leclerc to lieutenant general, admiral, or even marshal again.
There are people with talent and virtue, and Louis XIV will not be left out in the cold.
In private, Louis XIV said to Marshal Lianqing:
"When the army of the Sri Lankan colony returns to its homeland, it may be time for us to consider how to deal with our long-standing enemy, the Azure Empire."
"Are you planning to attack the Azure Empire?"
"Yes, now Princess Olina of the Azure Empire has gone to the Stigma Academy. In my opinion, this will be the most empty time of the Azure Empire. I want to win the Azure Empire within this period of time. Lu military parade."
However, plans have not kept pace with the changes.
A few days later, Louis XIV suddenly received the latest information.
"Your Majesty, a large number of high-quality gold mines have been discovered in the central region of Sri Lanka!"
After taking over the map of the distribution of gold mines, Louis XIV saw that the gold mines were located in the central area between the colonial area of Shengluer Kingdom and the colonial area of the North Sea Parliament. Gold mine, according to intelligence, this may be the largest gold mine ever discovered.
Louis XIV's hands trembled. He knew very well that in this world, money is the only way to run the world. As long as you have this gold mine, then the Kingdom of Shengluer will rise again. At that time, whether it is the North Sea Parliamentary State or the Azure Empire , even the East Continent Empire far in the east will not be afraid.
He took a deep breath and called a secret meeting of his trusted officers.
"First of all, immediately write to Lieutenant General Leclerc, and ask him to immediately go to the border of the colonial zone to launch an attack on the gold mining area occupied by the North Sea Parliament. At the same time, Major General Jean de Gaulle leads the 3rd Cuirassier Division. , The Triumph Legion, and the Wings of Freedom Magician Group quickly went to Sri Lanka. When he arrived in Sri Lanka, he immediately held a marshal award ceremony for De Gaulle. What we want is not half of Sri Lanka, but the entire Kingdom of Sri Lanka. "
"Your Majesty, do you want to declare war on the North Sea Parliamentary Nation?" Major General Nigri asked.
"Yes, yes, we have to declare war on them!" Louis XIV clenched his fists, his face fierce, "We will beat them in the shortest possible time, tear their **** off and stuff them into their ass. , let them know the power of our Shengluer Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, we just lost the battle to the Fars Federal State, and now we are going to war with the North Sea Parliamentary State. Will it be..." General Clement asked cautiously.
"To tell you the truth, the reason we lost to the Fars Federation was not because of the cowardice of our army, but because of the stupidity of the commander and political corruption. From now on, I will focus on investigating logistics issues. If anyone dares to attack the military The greed for the material is directly sentenced to hanging." Louis XIV looked at Admiral Horty again, "Start now, vigorously develop the navy, now our navy is evenly matched with the North Sea Parliamentary State, but from now on, I will be in the navy. Double the budget, and I want you to defeat the North Sea Parliament’s navy in a frontal battle within three months and completely block them on the island.”
"But what about our army? The Azure Empire has always been eyeing..."
"Rest assured, the Azure Empire will not attack us, I can guarantee it."
There are risks in the many banks of the Blue Empire. Louis XIV has always grasped the economic lifeline of the Blue Empire. Once the Blue Empire is in trouble, Louis XIV will tighten the money and make the Blue Empire fall into a man-made economic crisis. Fourteen's understanding of Emperor Deeritz of the Blue Empire, he naturally has no way to crack it.
In the entire Western Continent, the only person who can break Louis XIV's economic offensive is Princess Olina. That woman is a war madman in the true sense. Louis XIV vaguely predicts that sooner or later, he will launch an unprecedented war with the Azure Empire. War, but not today, let alone tomorrow, now the most important enemy is the North Sea Parliament.
After secretly announcing the imminent declaration of war on the North Sea Parliamentary State, Louis XIV started war mobilization, condemning the various atrocities of the North Sea Parliamentary State through his own newspapers, thus arousing the hatred of the people against the North Sea Parliamentary State, and at the same time wrapping the Shengluer Kingdom. Become the savior and pioneer of the advanced culture brought by the backward civilization, and let the people think that the Shengluer Kingdom is just.
"Your Majesty, you clearly said that you don't want dogs in places like Sri Lanka."
In the evening, Lotte, who was lying on Louis XIV's bed, teased that she was different from Louis XIV a few days ago. .Huan;:Welcome\"Enter?!Enter?【,!Hi;Er\";'s:Picture:.?Book.\'Gallery;:]:.7;4?.6?:0,9:\ "4!0.:7\";6?
"Wow, wang," Louis XIV said after learning to bark twice, "Lotte, I didn't want Sri Lanka before because that land was of no value to us, but now it's different. After the gold mine was discovered, Sri Lanka was very concerned about it. My meaning has changed completely, although I’m sorry Brother Li, but Sri Lanka must be owned by us, and my ambitions cannot end here.”
Chapter 46 The Lieutenant General
Leclerc originally thought that after the war with the Fars Federation, he would be liquidated as a defeated general. At that time, he would completely end his military career and leave the country, but he did not realize that Louis XIV did not pursue him. responsibility, but instead gave him a promotion.
"You are a man of merit, please raise your head proudly, the responsibility is not on you, it is the bedbugs that breed under the rotten system, they betrayed the interests of the country, although I was regarded as a **** by people in the past, but In my eyes, I know who is a loyal minister and who is a villain. Next, please continue to stick to your heart and fight for the Kingdom of Shengluer!"
The prince who was once thought to be a dandy turned into a wise man, exposed the conspiracy of the Shengluer Kingdom, and cracked down on corruption, allocating a large amount of relief funds to the civilians, almost in an instant, lost to the law. The negative influence of the Federal State of Ers gradually eased, and the people of the Shengluer Kingdom began to become more confident.
Subsequently, Louis XIV ordered Leclerc to go to the colonies of Sri Lanka and let him protect the overseas territories under the kingdom's rule.
"I will definitely complete your mission!"
Lieutenant General Leclerc bowed to Louis XIV, and he vaguely thought that perhaps this young man would become far more than his father, and he would become the sword of the young king and remove all obstacles for the king.
But after arriving in the Sri Lanka area, Lieutenant General Leclerc was immediately surprised. In the colonial area, the Shengluer people were well-dressed, enjoying sunbathing and food, while the Sri Lankans were ragged and turned into slaves.
Most of the time, Sri Lankans are only allowed to crawl on the ground and crawl on all fours like animals, while the high-riding Senluer amuse themselves with Sri Lankan hilarious looks.
Walking down the street, Lieutenant General Leclerc saw with his own eyes a fat businessman wearing a top hat whipping a delicate and weak ten-year-old girl with a whip. Seeing that the girl was about to be beaten to death, Lieutenant General Leclerc finally couldn't restrain his inner feelings. Angry, holding the whip swung towards the girl with one hand, he said sharply:
"Stop, what are you doing? Why are you whipping children for no reason?"
"Oh, noble general," the fat businessman said with a simple and honest expression when he saw Lieutenant General Leclerc's general uniform, "she is a slave I bought, and it is my possession. Minutes ago, the **** stole the food and should be beaten. Otherwise, if she stole the food today, maybe tomorrow she would dare to stand up against her master. We whip the beasts not to harm them, but to hope that they will become obedient. become docile."
The Shengluer people on the sidelines pointed to Lieutenant General Leclerc and talked a lot. Obviously, most people think that there is nothing wrong with whipping a slave. Personal wealth is sacred and inviolable. When a slave is put on the collar given by the master, he will no longer is a person, but an object.
"We are from the Kingdom of Shengluer. It was also said in the goddess's motto that the world is divided into high-class people and low-class people, and the meaning of low-class people's existence is to exchange their misery for high-class people. happiness."
"Absurd! Who the **** made the Shengluers nobler than the Sri Lankans?"
At this moment, Lieutenant General Leclerc thought of Marshal Lian Qing and his friend De Gaulle. If they saw this scene in front of them, they would definitely not sit idly by.
Lieutenant Leclerc, who was of noble birth, would never consider himself nobler than the commoners.
He walked up to the little girl who was covered in bruises:
"Are you OK?"
The little girl looked at Lieutenant General Leclerc as if she were looking at a man-eating monster.
Although Lieutenant General Leclerc doesn't look terrible, it can even be said to be kind and amiable, but like the fat businessman, he has white skin and blond hair, as well as the high nose bridge common to Westerners.
Whether it was out of national hatred or instinct, the slave girl couldn't smile at the man in the general's uniform. She burst into tears and couldn't stop crying.
Leclerc moved with compassion. She also had a wife and children, almost the same age as the Sri Lankan girl.
"Give her freedom."
"But Lieutenant General, she is the private property of that businessman, we can't..." The soldiers behind Lieutenant General Leclerc were a little embarrassed.
"Then I will buy her, not only her, I will buy all the slaves in the city, I will redeem them, I am from the Kingdom of Shengluer, if my country makes mistakes and I sit back and watch, then we and What's the difference between the perpetrators? The kneeling of a child is a statement of the sins of our entire country."
Lieutenant General Leclerc looked around coldly, and the group of Shengluer colonists who were talking about them also quieted down under the eyes full of cold killing intent.
"From now on, the Sri Lankan region will abolish slavery, and anyone who finds a slave team will be hanged!"
"You can't do this, General, if you abolish slavery, where will our money come from? We came all the way from the Kingdom of Shengluer to such a hot place, and we didn't want to travel. You Do you know how many people the slave trade can feed and how many villages can be saved from famine?"
"Ha, get rid of the famine? You say you are getting rid of the famine, don't you just want to have more money in your pockets? Even if you really capture slaves for your livelihood, then you are equivalent to the most evil and inferior food. Ghouls, feed themselves by eating human flesh."
As soon as Lieutenant Leclerc made this statement, the surrounding Shengluer people immediately fell into a riot. Countless Shengluer people threw rotten eggs and stones at Lieutenant General Leclerc, but Lieutenant General Leclerc was not afraid at all. Fifty-two He pulled out his sword and immediately deterred the Shengluer crowd.
In the end, the military and the civilians broke up...
"General, is it too irrational for you to do this?"
"Yes, I admit that I have no reason, but if some people live too shrewdly, it is almost equivalent to not living. Sometimes people should learn to be crazy."
Lieutenant General Leclerc smiled, recalling that on the Eastern Front at that time, Grouchy ordered the soldiers to die at the front, and in order to let more people survive, he would rather fight Grouchy one-on-one.
He never cared about his military rank or whether his family could gain supreme power. All he cared about was the justice in his heart.
"Perhaps it is impossible for a person like me to get a good death."
The Lieutenant General, who does not understand officialdom and the world, may end up in a miserable death under the plot of the villain.
But in life, one cannot shrink back.
He returned to the Provisional Military Headquarters in Gujarand, ready to negotiate with the Governor of Sri Lanka to deal with the colonial people.
On the hillside in the distance, Ami Acha's hand was always on the trigger. Just now, Leclerc's head was shaking back and forth in the scope. Just pull the trigger and the enemy would die, but until the end, Ami . Ah Cha did not pull the trigger.
Chapter 47 Recent Situations in Sri Lanka
The second day after school is almost the same as the first.
First of all, at 4:30 in the morning, Li Ergou was woken up by Xia Leina in his sleep, and he was dragged to the training ground semi-compulsively to practice until 7:00 in the morning.
After having breakfast, I accompanied Miss Ivy to the college she was going to study. Even what happened on the way was the same as yesterday.
Just as the two walked around the corner, Princess Olina of the Azure Empire immediately launched a raid, and the doll maid with a bladed arm slashed towards Miss Ivy's neck without showing any mercy. She attacked with the feeling of killing Miss Ivy.
This time, Ya Yinyue was not nearby, and the surrounding students also stood aside with a spectator mentality, and no one stopped them. Just when Li Ergou was about to use a spear to resist the doll's attack, Miss Ivy But indifferently:
"Just let me come."
The red origami fan with the phoenix pattern opened, and the aggressive Princess Olina was immediately bound by the python transformed into flames. She couldn't move, and looked very embarrassed. The encounter lasted only less than three minutes. , it ended with Miss Ivy's victory.
After the battle was over, Miss Ivy smiled proudly at Li Ergou:
"Li, remember to pick me up tonight too."
"Okay, I get it, please study hard today, Miss."
"See you."
After watching Miss Ivy's back go away, Li Ergou also planned to go to the Stigma Library to swim in the ocean of knowledge, and by the way, he still had questions to ask third-year student Kutak.
But just as Li Ergou was about to leave, Princess Olina stood in front of Li Ergou. The flaming python that had entangled her just now disappeared. She looked at Li Ergou's whole body with incomparably arrogant eyes. It was like a snake spitting out snake letters that made Li Ergou feel uneasy.
Li Ergou did not dare to leave without authorization, worried that once she turned her back to Princess Olina, she would attack herself like Miss Ivy. If she attacks, Li Ergou can't be as easy as the eldest young lady.
"Obviously a native of Dongzhou, why would you want to be a dog like Ivy Sylph Lianqing?" Princess Olina said in a slightly mocking tone.
"She has saved my life, and it is my principle to repay the kindness and revenge," Li Ergou said with no emotion. "If you have nothing to do, please retire."
"You are now at level 60, which is considered to be the threshold of the elite class, but as long as you are a slave to that kind of woman, you will have no progress at all. A little guy who makes waves."
"If that's the case, why waste time on little people."
Compared with Miss Ivy, Li Ergou felt that Princess Olina was more arrogant.
Recently, Li Ergou also checked the information about her. What surprised Li Ergou was that this gloomy purple-haired beautiful girl held the supreme power in the army of the Azure Empire, and even had more influence in the army than today's Azure. Imperial Emperor Dritz.
In terms of magic, Princess Olina is far inferior to Miss Ivy.
Military and political, Princess Olina's status is obviously a lot higher than Miss Ivy's.
Li Ergou wanted to leave as soon as possible, but at the same time as he turned around, the doll maid suddenly attacked Li Ergou's back, as if she wanted to split Li Ergou in two with her blade arm.
Fortunately, Li Ergou was well prepared and easily blocked the puppet's attack with a mithril spear.
"Don't worry, I'm just trying your skills. I won't kill you. I heard that Ya Yinyue of the Dongzhou Empire is quite fond of you. At present, our Azure Empire has no plans to fight against the Dongzhou Empire," Ao said. Princess Linna twisted the corner of her skirt and saluted Li Ergou slightly, "But Ivy is different, the Azure Empire and Shengluer Kingdom are natural enemies, I will try to kill her, if you want to stop me, just do it anyway. Come and try it."
In Li Ergou's eyes, Princess Olina looked far more dangerous than Prince Langton, and she had to be careful.
Leaving the college street, Li Ergou walked straight towards the library. There are still many people reading in the library today.
Stigma Academy does not force students to take classes, and there is no so-called credit system, because the Academy is very clear that for some students, the best teachers are not people, but books.
"Are you here again? I didn't expect you to be a follower, but I didn't expect you to work hard. Do you want to change your destiny through knowledge?"
When the elf librarian girl saw Li Ergou walk into the library, she immediately struck up a conversation.
Li Ergou completely ignored the slightly noisy librarian, went straight to the library, took a book on colonization, and looked for Kutak by the way, and wanted to ask him about the assessment that needs to be paid attention to. A lot of details, in order to prevent problems in the future.
In the end, Li Ergou found Kutak in a corner on the second floor of the library, and the books in his hand were still books about military affairs such as trenches.
Now that Kutak is a third-year student, he is only a year away from graduating. When he successfully graduates from this academy, he will return to his homeland to start a life-and-death battle with the invaders.
"Good morning."
Saying hello to Kutak, Li Ergou sat opposite him, and Kutak also nodded to Li Ergou, then took out a newspaper and handed it to Li Ergou.
Taking a look at the newspaper, Li Ergou saw that the most eye-catching headline in the newspaper read the recent situation in Sri Lanka. Gujarand discovered a rebel army with advanced weapons and excellent combat quality. The most recent one. In the battle, they annihilated the army of the Shengluer Kingdom of 1,000 people with zero losses. If nothing else, this should be the masterpiece of the international column under Li Ergou.
Quickly reading the text, Li Ergou saw another piece of information that made him take a deep breath. A large number of gold mines were discovered in the central region of Sri Lanka, most of which were located in the colonies of the Shengluer Kingdom. A small part of the gold mine is located on the side of the North Sea Parliament.
"Oops…"
According to Li Ergou's understanding of Louis XIV, I am afraid that after learning that Sri Lanka has a huge gold mine, Louis XIV will renege on his past promises and become the biggest enemy to prevent himself from liberating Sri Lanka.
