Chapter 746: Loyalty and Selfishness

The suspicion of the superior is vividly reflected in this regard, or it means that if you know that it is a very unlikely situation, you must prepare multiple back-ups to prevent the possibility of occurring, so as to reduce the loss as much as possible.

Alice didn't care about Alia's apology, and what she needed now was not her apology, but a solution to the problems she was facing, and to make the mighty Attila empire less difficult.

"Now Hassan, stirring up relations between the various races in the United Kingdom?"

Bud spoke at this time, breaking the silence of the meeting and relieving Aliya's embarrassment.

"Can we provoke those tribes to attack the Attila Empire, and let them destroy the tacit understanding between Gom and Attila? After all, the natives of Scandinavia have a grudge against the Attila Empire, and it is much easier to stir up their emotions to make them act against the Attila Empire than to cause civil strife in the Attila Empire. ”

Kill two birds with one stone

With Bud's words, the word flashed through Alice's mind

As Bud said, it is better to provoke the indigenous Scandinavian people who already have hatred for the Attila Empire to attack it than to risk Hassan's exposure to create civil strife in the Attila Empire.

On the one hand, the power of the Attila Empire can be consumed through external forces, so that they are forced to consume a large amount of war materials before the war really begins.

The natives of the United Kingdom, although they are not very good in the frontal battlefield, are extremely difficult opponents in other battlefields, especially in squad warfare, they have infiltrated the territory of the Attila Empire, and even if they are finally annihilated, they will cause great damage.

On the other hand, it is conceivable that in the fierce conflict with the Attila Empire, the people's revenge must be high, and now the less and less prestige of the king Gaum can not ignore the people's feelings, he will be kidnapped by the politically correct public opinion, and the verbal tacit agreement with the Attila Empire will be completely overthrown.

Unless he is willing to be overthrown from his position by the enraged populace, or has the ability to make the populace trust him, to exercise restraint for a while, to endure hatred for a while, but it is clear that Gorm does not possess these things now.

"Well, this plan, there is room for viability. ”

Semiramis nodded on the side, Bud's suggestion was many times better than the previous ones, especially compared to Alia's suggestion, and it had a practical possibility of implementation.

Alice was silent on the other side, but judging from the fingers she tapped on the table from time to time, she should have accepted Bud's suggestion and approved of it.

"What do you think, Kill, can you do it?"

As the only legendary assassin in the entire Baltic Empire and the head of the entire intelligence service, this question needs to be answered by Qiel, and her answer determines the opinion of everyone present about the plan proposed by Bud.

Feasibility is a thing that exists at any time, it's just a matter of more and less, and now Bud's plan has been the most feasible one since the meeting, but it still needs the opinions of the specific implementers, and it is the most critical opinion.

How feasible it is for the Hassan to cause a conflict between the United Kingdom and the Attila Empire, whether there are any risks, whether they cause what kind of harm they will cause, and how much benefit they can bring to the empire, these things must be carefully considered.

The people who are sitting here at this meeting, every suggestion they make can really affect the situation in the whole of the Northlands, on the surface they have lost their rights because they are staff officers, but in fact they have given them unparalleled influence as staff officers, making them from mere subordinates of Alice and Semiramis to participants who can influence the development and direction of the empire.

"It can be done, if only to this extent, Hassan can, no, easily do it. ”

Qi'er thought about it for a few minutes, and she analyzed the suggestion very carefully, and finally came to such a conclusion that everyone present felt relieved.

"Is our influence on the United Kingdom already so great?"

Hearing Qil's answer, Bud raised a new question, as a more traditional Scandinavian, he has never faced up to the power of assassins, even if he has joined the Baltic Empire for many years and enjoyed the convenience brought by the intelligence department, but the contempt in his bones still cannot be changed so simply.

Rather than immediately answer Bud's question, Kiel turned her gaze to Alice and said after seeing the other person's subtle nod.

"It's not a very difficult thing to do, Hassan can easily assassinate Scandinavians, and after the early intelligence gathering work, they can disguise themselves as dead assassins, and it will be difficult to detect. ”

Specifically, if you do it, Qi'er didn't say much, and she didn't say how to break these disguises, because it was an easy thing, as long as there was a fight, then the difference between the assassin and the warrior would be distinguished.

Gender, appearance, skin color, height, voice, smell, temperament, habits, blood

These things can be forged by various methods, but in battle, especially in fierce battles involving life and death, some habits are still exposed because of instinct, which affects the whole person's disguise.

The Scandinavians are a combative people, and their instincts when fighting are completely unreasonable, and this little incongruity can be easily caught by them, and finally lead to the exposure of the assassin.

Whether as the head of the intelligence department or as a legendary assassin, Qil doesn't trust anyone other than Alice, not even Semiramis.

In her mind, there is a possibility of betrayal of Alice by anyone other than herself, and she must be prepared to detect these possibilities in advance, and if she can, to stifle them as much as possible.

This is the position she gave herself, as Alice's shadow, to solve the problems that are not good to shoot, will affect her prestige, and will stain her hands, even if these problems will make her hostile, hated, and disgusted, it doesn't matter much.

"Well, then I don't have any other problems. ”

Bud waved his hand and said.

The others present looked at each other and shook their heads to show their support for this proposal.

In this way, the decision to let Hassan, who had already infiltrated the United Kingdom, instigate the United Kingdom to act against the Attila Empire, was decided, but it was only a big decision, and there are more details to discuss below.

When, where, and who to attack on what targets, for example, all had to be carefully considered, because the Baltic Empire needed a battle that could not be stopped as long as it was launched, not a war that had accumulated over a long period of conflict, which would easily be detected by Gom and Attila.

There may be a lot of stupid people in this world, but there are definitely a lot of smart people, at least Gohm, who successfully overthrew Siegel's rule, and Attila and her knights, definitely don't fall into the category of stupidity.

When playing against these people, you must not harbor words full of uncertainty such as "maybe", "maybe", "seem", "probably", etc., because a slight omission is likely to give the other party an opportunity to seize the opportunity to turn the disadvantage into an advantage, and the disadvantage into an advantage, so as to turn defeat into victory.

Arrogance is indeed one of the most difficult human instincts to overcome, but in order to win the battle against a strong enemy, arrogance is the first instinct that takes time and energy to overcome, because arrogance will make one's shortcomings more and more deadly, and more obvious and easier to be exploited by opponents.

"What about your advice? Bud, Saruman. ”

Alice directly named Bud and Saruman, for a very simple reason, both of them are Scandinavians, have lived in Scandinavia for most of their lives, and have an extraordinary understanding of Scandinavia.

Neither Bud nor Saruman spoke, and they both felt the eyes of everyone in the room focused on their faces, and several of them had gloating glances, and they didn't have to think that they were wise men with certain abilities selected from several other races within the Empire.

The United Kingdom had a serious internal ethnic contradiction, which the Attila Empire suppressed with harsh means and fanatical worship of Attila, and of course there was a problem within the Baltic Empire.

However, this problem will not erupt in a short period of time, and sufficient material and certain mainstream speech will ensure that the residents of all races can obtain relatively fair status and rights within the country.

If such a situation can be changed from a short term to a long term, and over time, the inhabitants of the empire begin to get used to the system of the empire, and can rise from a narrow sense to a broad sense, from various races to the Baltic Empire, then the contradictions between the races will naturally be alleviated.

Of course, elimination can never be eliminated, and there are hard-nosed people of all races who are difficult to communicate with, who use various methods to pass on their narrow ideas to the next generation, and hope that one day, even if they don't know when it will be brought, they will not give up.

These people never have the concept of the state in their minds, and they do not think about whether their actions will have a negative impact on the rest of the race, nor do they think about what to do next after realizing this ideal, how to govern a country, how to reconcile relations with other forces, and how to bring the people a rich enough life.

Freedom or something, I don't know how many misfortunes are carried out in the name of these two words

As someone who has been campaigning for freedom, but who has been guillotined by freedom, said, "Freedom, freedom, how many sins are done in your name."

Alice asks Saruman and Bud if they have any questions, they are indeed familiar with the geographical location of Scandinavia, but this knowledge is in the time of Beowulf, in the time of Siegel, not in the time of the current United Kingdom.

It should be Qier who can really provide accurate data, and only Qier, who has mastered the intelligence department, has the most accurate and real-time data, and these data are also the most worthy of reference.

It was easy for those present to extend from Alice's question to other associations, and perhaps Alice didn't trust these Scandinavians as much as she seemed.

If it is trustworthy, then Alice should not ask such an obviously problematic question on this occasion, as if it were a clear indication that Alice does not trust the Scandinavians very much.

"If we can restore Upland, the former capital of the Yaats, then there will certainly be a violent conflict between the United Kingdom and the Attila Empire over that land, which is of unusual significance to all Scandinavians. ”

Budd did not look at Saruman's expression, but calmly made a suggestion that he would once again make Upland, the capital of the Yaats, a battlefield, and that he should use the land to arouse the ambitions of the Scandinavians in the United Kingdom.

Among them is Bud's own selfishness, he wants to use the power of the Baltic Empire to restore Upland, which has become a dead place and a paradise for the dead, to its normal appearance.

After so many years in the Baltic Empire, he had been the commander in chief of the army, and he knew that the empire had such capabilities, and all he lacked was a reason to do so, a reason to invest too much force.

Now he gave such a reason, from the position of a Jeat, from the position of a Baltic Empire, this reason is acceptable, this answer is not the best answer to Alice's question, but for Bud, it is the most suitable answer for him.

Saruman did not respond to this, his attitude was correct, because he had no way of knowing whether Bud's answer would be accepted by Alice, and if Bud lost his power and status because of this answer, then he was the only one left in the Baltic Empire who could make a voice in this high-level circle.

For the sake of all the Scandinavians within the Baltic Empire, he did not want to and could not do anything risky, even if he died, he would breed his successors and stabilize the position of the Scandinavians within the Empire.

"Well, that's a good idea. ”

Alice nodded, but her reply was beyond the expectations of many people, after all, it was full of Bud's selfish proposals, and she shouldn't agree to it, because it was not in the interests of the empire and not in the interests of the rulers.

It will make the people below reasonably become less loyal
