Luo Songxi brought Richard to meet with Paul because he wanted to deal with Paul, and probably only Richard, who was worried about how the expeditionary force was attacked, would fully support him.

And he wanted Richard to help him break Paul's rhythm - he didn't know what Paul would say to him, but he knew how inflammatory Paul was, and he couldn't let Paul lead him by the nose.

Marco Jose, who has an unusual nose, is hiding and no one can find him, so only by not letting Paul maintain control of the whole scene, and even having emotional fluctuations, can Luo Songxi find the real Paul from the two Pauls.

But when Richard called out the name "Michael Geller", both Pauls remained unfazed until Richard questioned whether he had given the expeditionary route to the Empire, when Paul was standing and holding his chin in his hand.

"Commander, you're finally back. ”

Paul, who was seated, finally spoke.

"Commander, I did not say goodbye to the expeditionary force back then, and I disappointed your expectations, and I would like to extend my most sincere apologies to you. ”

Paul, who was standing, bowed deeply to Richard.

"As you know, I went to the Empire after I escaped from the Expeditionary Force," said the seated Paul, "but I went to the Empire to join my brother John Edward, who was there. And by the time I arrived in the Empire, the expeditionary fleet had lost contact. ”

"Believe me, my brother John and I, although we are not sure by birth whether we are Commonwealth or Imperial, we were raised in the Federation after all, and we still have a sense of belonging to the Federation from the heart. You see my brother John, who ended up stabbing the Emperor to death and returned to the Commonwealth. ”

"The Emperor was not killed by John Sr., and it was Naga who attacked the expeditionary force. Luo Songxi interjected.

Paul, who was sitting, spread his hands, and Paul, who was standing, looked at Richard and said, "General, although I have failed you, please believe that in the first half of my life, the person I respected the most was you." Even if I can't stop you from going on an expedition against the Empire, I will never do anything like betraying the Expeditionary Force. ”

"But you betrayed General Konica. "Luo Songxi Road.

Paul, who was seated, calmly asked Luo Songxi, "What good will it do me to betray the expeditionary force?"

Paul, who was standing, said to Richard, "If Rosong Creek agrees to take over as President of the Federation, I can immediately restore Michael Senna's identity and mobilize all my loyal men to find Naga who attacked the expeditionary force, and take revenge with his fellow expeditionary comrades." ”

Richard glanced at Luo Songxi and said to Paul, "I think you should not sit in this official residence, but sit in a military court and be tried for the crime of desertion." ”

Paul, who was seated, shook his head and sighed, "It's useless, Commander, as you know, the Commonwealth is a country that speaks of the rule of law. Paul Edward's identity can be traced back to every detail of his childhood. ”

"You can't prove that I'm Michael Saylor, it's just a story of me and the young man at the time. Second, even if you have the courage to tell this story to the Investigation Section of the All-Army Operations Committee, I'm afraid ...... You first have to face the investigation that you failed to command the expeditionary force that year, and you hid overseas for 30 years and did not return to the Federation. ”

Paul, who was standing, calmly said to Rosong Creek:

"I know your intentions, you want to borrow Commander Richard, borrow my past past, and force me to show my flaws. But it's useless, for more than ten years, my stand-in knows everything about me, and under my transformation, he has the same personality, way of thinking, and emotional expression as me. ”

"Otherwise, there are so many talented people in the Federation, why no one can see the flaws in the first place? You are indeed amazing, but you are still too young after all, don't think too highly of yourself. ”

"What do you want?" Luo Songxi narrowed his eyes and asked him.

"What do I want? As I said a long time ago, I just want to realize the ideals of my teacher, Cinda Snow, and build an ideal country of universal harmony. As for the ruler of this kingdom, I have said it a long time ago, it does not have to be me, and you, if you can mature, I believe, will be the best ruler of this kingdom. Seated, Paul sat up straight and raised his voice.

"There is a breach in the seal of the sea, and the surface world is in crisis. But this is both a crisis and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this is your best chance to integrate the human world—to weaken the powerful and support the weak, which will not only reduce the constraints on your integration of all plane forces, but also be of great benefit to the fight against the Kuroshio, and it will also be a great civilizational progress for all mankind. ”

"Luo Songxi, why do you disagree?"

"Why don't you ask those who died innocently because of you, and they don't agree?" Luo Songxi also raised his voice, "I respect the great ideals of Sinda Snow, but you have to pay the price for what you have done first. ”

"Childish!" said Paul, who was standing, "it's politics, young man. There is no such thing as innocence in politics, only results. As long as the result is great, no matter how much sacrifice you put in, it will be worth it. ”

"You've lived in the wilderness since you were a kid, and you've killed so many bandits, is that the right thing to do? Is it in line with federal law? John made you do this since you were a child, and I think he just wants to teach you to do great things, and not to be bound by some established framework. ”

"No, old John asked me to kill horse bandits since I was a child, not to make me a good citizen of the lawless Federation, but to tell me that I can't do evil, and that I should be punished accordingly. ”

"Therefore do not do evil, this is my principle, and it is the most basic moral element that precedes all greatness. Besides, you keep saying that you want to build a kingdom where all men are equal, and now you are standing in the presidential palace, is this equal to those who died because of you?"

"Alas," said Paul, who seemed to regain his composure as he sat down, "he is as old as John." ”

"Since you've always refused to cooperate with me, you might as well listen to my plan. ”

Paul, who was standing, nodded and said:

"You agreed to work with me, and at that investiture ceremony outside, I would have declared you my running mate, and would join hands with you in building a united and great kingdom. ”

"But if you don't agree to cooperate with me, I won't do another award ceremony, and I'll announce it in front of so many journalists and people...... You are the prince of the Empire. ”

After John assassinated Charlemagne, he could not bear to kill Charles's young children, so he took the children to the Confederation to raise them, hoping to become a member of the Confederation. ”

"You did build a sense of belonging to the Federation in the beginning, and became a hero of the Federation during the East-West War. But near the end of the war, the men of Antonidas have found you and told you your true origins. ”

"So you wavered, seduced by the throne of the Empire, and let go of the remnants of the Empire, only to return to the Empire in secret. ”

"You thought no one knew the secret, so you returned to the Federation on a high note, wanting to climb high positions in the Federation, and then work together to finally incorporate the Federation into the empire. ”

"It's a pity that this matter has already been found out by the UNSC, and in order to paralyze you, in the name of awarding decorations, I will send you to the presidential palace and let the UNSC carry out the arrest. ”

"It's a pity that you absconded in fear of crime, so what I announced outside was a federal arrest warrant for you. ”
