"But I don't think it's suitable. ”

It was Semiramis who took Alice's words, and she was the only one in the field who could interrupt Alice's words, and it would not affect Alice's prestige, and there would be a situation where she couldn't get off the stage.

Alice is indeed the founder of the empire, the strongest of the empire, and the guarantee of power that cannot be left behind, but Semiramis is also the nominal ruler of this empire, with nominal supreme power, and in terms of status, the two of them are equal.

"Upland is indeed a good fuse for war, and the Scandinavians can give up a Upland that has become a dead ruin, but they can never give up a rich Upplan. ”

Semiramis affirmed Bude's choice of Upplan.

"However, this is not why the Empire must use it as a fuse for the conflict between the United Kingdom and the Attila Empire, Bud, I hope you will remember who you are, and not play some tricks on these things, you were a member of the Baltic Empire before you were a Scandinavian. ”

"Don't always dwell on the memories of the past, getting too drunk will only make you lose your present self. ”

Semiramis spoke with a strong warning that no one could doubt that Bud would be punished, and that it might even affect the interests of the Scandinavian communities within the Baltic Empire.

The atmosphere became heavy, and even the other staff officers who had contradictions with Bud bowed their heads and fell silent, sitting on the imperial throne all the year round, so that Semiramis was

Extraordinary prestige.

No one will disobey Semiramis, all they can do is make suggestions, not stand on the opposite side of Semiramis, which is simply an act of seeking death.

The king can be benevolent, but he must not offend the majesty, because the king without majesty will lose his high position, and will lose the awe from the people, and such behavior in the Baltic Empire, which is still a centralized system, is not interested in the rule of the ruler.

"All right, Semiramis. ”

Alice waved her hand, and she looked away from Bud and turned to Saruman.

She had asked Bod and Saruman to answer separately, and now Bud had answered, and gave an answer that displeased everyone, including her.

Now it was Saruman's turn to answer

It was to agree with Bud's proposal, to persuade Alice and Semiramis on other grounds, and to reverse and correct the points deductions for the question that Bud had just answered

Or to propose a better, more in line with the interests of the empire, to eliminate Bud's negative effects from a different angle

Which of these two paths Saruman chooses is worth looking forward to

"Your Highness Alice, Your Majesty Semiramis. ”

Saruman did not answer Alice's question directly, he first stepped forward with a very solemn courtesy, then raised his head and looked at the two young-looking rulers with calm eyes.

"The Yaats are a Scandinavian species, and are known for their prowess in combat, living on Scandinavia before writing and civilization were budding. ”

"The Yayats have an inseparable affection for Scandinavia, and even now that we are part of the Empire, this partisanship is still in our blood. ”

"However, the people of Yaat never turned their backs on the idea of the Empire, and in the most difficult times, it was the Empire that accepted the people of Yaat, and kept them away from poverty, hunger, cold, and pestilence, and lived happily in this land of abundance, warmth, and war. ”

"Every Jeat has an indescribable gratitude to the Empire, because the Jeats are one of the Scandinavians and would never do anything like revenge. ”

Saruman's eyes were resolute, and his tone was as unwavering as a reef, this was what he thought in his heart, and there was no falsehood in the slightest, he was indeed loyal to the Empire, and was willing to die for the cause of the Empire.

Then, the conversation changed

"But Scandinavia is the homeland of the Yaats, and every Jeats want to return to that land, but not simply as a Jeat, but as the Jeats of the Baltic Empire. ”

Saruman's words made many people's eyes widen in surprise, and even Bud, who was standing next to him, looked at Saruman with his mouth slightly open and an expression of disbelief on his face.

His gaze seemed to be at a stranger, and he couldn't believe that these words were uttered by Saruman, the old man who could be said to have preserved the fire of the Yeats.

Whether this statement is true or not, Saruman's prestige within the Yeats will inevitably suffer, and some of the extreme Yaats will even refuse to recognize Saruman's status, and will greatly exacerbate the contradictions between those extremists and the Empire.

Saruman is fueling the tension between some of the Yaats and the Empire

And use the empire to solve some of the radical Yeats, and by the way, use the blood of these Yeats in exchange for the trust of the empire, in exchange for the current life of the remaining Yeats

Witty? No, it should be said to be cunning

The others looked at Saruman with a slight look in their eyes, and they asked themselves if they couldn't do this, so that the strong man broke his wrist and sacrificed a small part of the instability to stabilize the rest of the majority.

However, some people reacted, and only if someone present would spread the word about what was happening here, which would not only not defeat Saruman, but also cause trouble for themselves.

Now they were in the castle of Jutland, where only a dozen people in the entire empire were entitled to participate, and if what had happened here was leaked, it was conceivable that the title of traitor would not be able to be taken off no matter how much sophistry was there.

An oath made as a staff officer

The magic that was allowed before the meeting

After all, these constraints are only external, and those who can become staff officers are wise men, and with a little effort, they can find ways to circumvent external constraints, or reduce the effect of constraints to a minimum

As long as there is a betrayal mind, then the secret will one day lose its mystery

"Saruman, what do you mean ......"

Alice had no reason not to think of the things that other people could imagine, but she didn't care about these things, they were all things that could happen, and it was more likely that they wouldn't happen.

"Yes, Your Highness Alice, the Yeats are willing to send people to Scandinavia to play the role of conflict with the Attila Empire, and there is no more pure Scandinavian in that land than our Jeats. ”

Even though we are now far from our homeland and have become Baltics.

Saruman's words and eyes all expressed the same meaning, and because he understood what he meant, Alice and Semiramis had a moving look on their faces, not pompous and hypocritical words, but actions to prove their desire to integrate into the empire, and personally cut off the chains of the past and put themselves in the position of traitors.

Playing the role of Scandinavians who have joined the United Kingdom is a very easy thing for the Yeats, because it is their true character performance, it is enough for them to play themselves, it is extremely difficult to debunk.

But such an act is undoubtedly helping the Baltic Empire to launch an invasion of Scandinavia, even if in a sense the Baltic Empire is also its own people belonging to the Scandinavian forces, but the invasion is an invasion, and it will not change its nature because of the identity of such a person.

It is conceivable that regardless of whether the Baltic Empire truly completes the conquest of Scandinavia, the position of the Jeats will be spurned and hostile to all Scandinavians because of this betrayal.

This is tantamount to abandoning the honor and tradition that the Yeats have always adhered to, and leaving behind the spirit that has been passed down from the time of Beowulf, and becoming the Goths they have always looked down upon.

No, even the Goths would not do such dishonorable, dishonorable, and stinking acts of profit, and among the Goths, there are only a few of them who believe in the gods of mischief like Siegel, and most of the Goths have a normal Scandinavian personality.

Neither Alice nor Semiramis immediately responded to Saruman's proposal, and both of them fell into a long silence, considering the pros and cons of implementation.

The conquest of Scandinavia is indeed a difficult problem, but it is not too early to start thinking about the problems after the conquest of Scandinavia.

After the conquest of Scandinavia, the contradictions between humanity and other races need to be resolved, but the unity of humanity is also a huge problem.

The unity of one race is a great destabilizing factor for the entire empire, and the betrayal of the Yaats will in some sense lead to the unity of other Scandinavians.

The human side will be divided into the Jeats and the non-Jeats, the latter of whom will be separated from the Empire for a long time because of the existence of the Jeats, because of the betrayal of the dishonorable means used by the Jeats.

If you take this into account, it is not very cost-effective to use Saruman's strategy, and before that, Semiramis intends to use the status of the Yaats to win over the Scandinavians and make it easier for them to accept the rule of the Empire.

"No, such a thing does not require the intervention of the Yeats, and it would be detrimental to the honor of the Yaats. ”

In the end, it was Semiramis who rejected Saruman's proposal.

Saruman didn't say anything because no one was paying attention to what Bud had just done, and this seemed to put himself in a dangerous situation, but in fact he was retreating into a way of moving forward, successfully alleviating the crisis that Bud had caused.

The atmosphere of the meeting returned to normal again, and the other staff officers began to speak, many of whom had never really been to the Scandinavian Empire and had not set foot on the land of ice and snow.

Their knowledge of Scandinavia comes more from information that only exists on paper, as well as other people's tellings, and the authenticity of them must be discounted.

Therefore, the suggestions they put forward were all vetoed by one of them, and the reasons for the veto were reasonable, and it was difficult for them to refute them with other reasons.

This discussion continued from day to night, and the meeting was slightly paused for thirty minutes before the meal, and for the sake of secrecy, the food was not brought in directly by the maid, but directly on the table through magic.

The food was very common, but not simple, and the people in the room quickly filled their stomachs, and they had to hurry up to perfect the plan and give Hassan more time to carry it out.

However, the situation did not improve with the passage of time, and the stomach was filled with dinner, and it was difficult for Alice and Semiramis to agree with the advice made by the other staff officers.

Again, the two issues mentioned earlier cannot be well balanced in terms of efficiency and safety

As for the method proposed by Bude, it was directly discarded, and the reason why it was discarded was not because of Bude's selfishness, but because after analysis, the feasibility was really low.

It is true that the Scandinavians will not give up the land of Upland, although their brains are full of muscles, from beginning to end, they still have the most basic wisdom.

Dealing with the undead on Upland and bringing the land of Upland back to life is really too conspicuous, in such a time period when the Baltic Empire is about to invade, such a sensitive period, how stupid it is to trigger a direct battle between the United Kingdom and the Attila Empire.

Well, although now they just want Hassan to play such a stupid role, and let this stupidity spread, make more people stupid, create a series of accidents, and provoke the hot nerves of the Scandinavians.

However, when it comes to Upplan, no matter how unexpected it may seem, there will always be smart people looking for evidence that is not accidental, and if Hassan is exposed, it is conceivable that intelligence work in Scandinavia will be difficult to carry out next.

The Attila Empire has already begun to mobilize for war, and if the United Kingdom uses this matter to divert internal contradictions because of Hassan's exposure, and allows Gomm to complete the mobilization of the United Kingdom, then in the next war, the advantage occupied by the Baltic Empire will begin to decrease.
