The ministers were all gearing up when they heard this, and they were quite moved.

Grand Duke Finney was not a master when he was young, but now that he is old, he is even more old and weak. Even an ordinary strong man can easily knock him down.

Once this anti-thief leader is taken down, the problem of the province of Brussels will be solved. Now I'm the sword, he is the fish and the meat, where is his room for bargaining?

Thinking about this section, even the Ministry of Works, who just suggested that Brussels abandon the darkness and turn to the light, is just as eager to try.

Although they are all returning to the camp of the glorious empire, they still need to pay a certain price and commitment just now. But now, this link can also be omitted.

King Beckenbauer was silent, and the ministers only acquiesced to him. There is a young and anxious person who can't hold it anymore, and he is about to step forward and take someone.

Grand Duke Finney still maintained his original posture of bowing his head, as if he were a log. Perhaps he also knew very well that even if he wanted to resist, he would not be able to resist.

At this moment, Anthony's clear voice rang out in the main hall.

"My lords, Duke Finney has come at the invitation of the last general. The last general also promised him that no matter what the outcome of the matter, he would guarantee his safe return to the province of Brussels. I also ask all the adults to give me a face, and don't embarrass me by breaking my word. Moreover, the two countries are at war without killing each other, and Grand Duke Finney, an old and frail old man, dares to come alone, and if we do something to him and spread the word, I am afraid that the entire Oss continent will make fun of our glorious empire. ”

As soon as Anthony's words came out, it was like a basin of cold water, which extinguished everyone's hearts at once.

Let's not talk about the rest, just the face of the general, that must be given!

The ministers were silent, everyone returned to their places, stood with their hands down, and no one spoke up.

High on the dragon's chair, King Beckenbauer spoke.

"Since you invited the general, according to your thoughts, you should be in favor of re-admitting Brussels?"

Anthony's answer was as decisive and swift as his military style, without the slightest hesitation.

"Exactly!"

His Majesty was silent for a moment, as if to think about measuring.

"What do you mean, Grand Duke Edwards?"

Because of the importance of encircling the Taranto rebels on all sides, the Grand Duke of Edwards could not sit still and followed the Aberdeen army north. By this time the dust had settled, and he did not rush back to Aberdeen.

In a similar situation, the Grand Duke of Smowa in the province of Hanover.

Both of them were in the main hall, but they were silent about what they had just said, and they didn't say a word.

Ever since Duke Finney appeared, Grand Duke Edwards had been a little agitated. Named by King Beckenbauer, he turned to Archduke Finney and asked almost word for word.

"I just want to ask, the golden fighter who infiltrated my mansion and kidnapped my wife and daughter was sent by you at your behest?"

Duke Finney hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "It's me, but it's ......."

"If only you were willing to admit it." Duke Edwards interrupted him and turned to King Beckenbauer, "Your Majesty, I object! ”

The king of Beckenbau did not see an expression on his face, but asked the other duke: "What do you think, Grand Duke of Smois?" ”

Now the situation in the main hall is very clear. With the exception of Anthony, everyone was opposed to the plan. If it weren't for Anthony's words, the monarchs and ministers in the hall would not want to offend the general who is in the sky, and Duke Finney would have been arrested and put in prison.

Grand Duke Smowa smiled, glanced at Anthony, and said unhurriedly: "Although our general is young, he is calm and reliable, and he has never been rash and rash. Since he has such a decision, he must have his reasons. General, you don't have to hide it, why don't you say your thoughts happily and let everyone comment and judge. ”

Anthony also has this intention, and he will not shirk it at the moment.

"There are three reasons why the last general is in favour of re-admission to Brussels. The first is the purpose. Duke Finney defected from the empire in order to preserve the inhabitants of his province. Although this idea is extremely wrong to only care about the small self and ignore the overall situation. But compared to the careerists of the likes of Kochis, who are only for power and profit, they are more than a step higher. Secondly, although Brussels was against it and sent troops to fight, it never really waved a knife at our emperor and civilians once, staining a drop of blood. ”

With that, the boy turned to face the Grand Duke of Edwards.

"Even if a master is sent to infiltrate the Grand Duke of Edwards' mansion, the hostage-taking is only to prevent Aberdeen from sending troops to quell the rebellion. For the Duchess and Miss, he never intended to hurt at all. The Duke may wish to think back to the situation and whether it was as the last general said. ”

Duke Edwards' face softened slightly, obviously thinking about this clearly.

Anthony continued: "The last and most crucial point. In the process of encircling and annihilating Schindler's 200,000 lijia army, the province of Brussels also secretly contributed. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were surprised again. A look of surprise flashed in His Majesty's eyes.

At that time, the Brussels army was encamped at the southern end of the province of Burgundy, only a few dozen miles away from the garrison. Whether it was Schindler in Burgundy or Frankie in Taranto, they repeatedly urged this army, coerced and lured them to attack the Burgundian defenders, and exerted strong pressure. But Grand Duke Finney still resisted the pressure according to the agreement with the last general, so that the soldiers under his command would never step forward. ”

"It can be said that if the Brussels army had attacked from the south and echoed Schindler's Riga army, the last general would probably not have taken the 2000 Liga army so easily. It is not impossible to say that the war situation will drag on or even deteriorate. ”

The ministers were silent, and there was also a trace of fear in their hearts.

How great Antony's exploits were, how happy the Empire's top brass was at the two victories, and how difficult and dangerous the situation in the Empire would be if the tide of the war were reversed.

The battle against Schindler's 20,000-mile army was well known to the Imperial monarchs. Although almost all the military forces that could be used at that time were dispatched, it was actually a trick to achieve the final victory. If Brussels had blatantly intervened at that time, it would have been inevitable that Anthony's ingenious layout would not have been flawed. It's hard to imagine what the result will be.

Thinking about it this way, everyone felt that Anthony was not deliberately exaggerating. Brussels was already a member of the Riga Empire at that time, but it was able to withstand the pressure and stand still, which could indeed be regarded as a great favor to the glorious Empire.

After saying this, everyone looked at the sad old face of Grand Duke Finney, and it suddenly became pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that everyone's attitude was shaken, Anthony struck while the iron was hot.

"By all indications, it can be seen that although Grand Duke Finney once betrayed the empire, he was also considered to have a reason, and a careerist like Curcis cannot be generalized. Crucially, the province of Brussels was not hostile to our glorious empire from the beginning to the end. This is the main reason why I took the initiative to go to the Duke's palace alone and negotiate with him in secret. And after Duke Finney came to his senses, he made a decision to lean towards our empire, providing us with favorable conditions for annihilating the Riga army. All of the above, the general believes that Brussels should be given a chance to mend his ways. ”

At this moment, even the left and right phases, who initially opposed the proposal, were silent. The ministers of the palace all set their eyes on King Beckenbauer on the first dragon chair.

His Majesty pondered for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, but his tone was noticeably softer than before.

"What do you mean, Grand Duke Edwards?"

The same words, this is the second time His Majesty the King has asked.

Everyone understands that he already has the intention of agreeing to accept.

As the Ministry of Works has just said, it is very important for the present glorious empire to be able to quell the rebels in the province of Brussels without having to go through a time-consuming and laborious war. The ministers objected only because it was not only detrimental to the majesty of the empire, but also extremely damaging. If you let it go easily, it is inevitable that there will be those who are lucky and want to follow suit in the future.

Since there is indeed a forgivable reason for what Grand Duke Finney has done, and there is even a great general interceding for him, the mentality of the monarch and the others has naturally changed.

The only uncertainty is whether the Grand Duke of Edwards can let go of their "personal enmity".

Under the attention of the audience, the Duke of Edwards hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Although you are the one who sent the command, the person who rescued my wife and daughter is the general. Since there is a great general to intercede for you, then Duke Ben has no opinion. ”

"Thank you!"

Duke Finney bowed deeply to him in thanks.

"Humph! That's the end of it. ”

Edwards snorted, but accepted Duke Finney's apology.

The hijacking of the Duke of Aberdeen a year ago has come to an end. And the return of the province of Brussels to the glorious empire has also been officially finalized, and there will be no twists and turns.

After the argument stopped, the monarchs and ministers in the Jinluan Hall suddenly came to their senses. With the loss of Brussels, more than a year of strife and war in the glorious empire has been completely calmed down!

After a year of hard perseverance, fear, and unyielding struggle, the glorious empire is finally back on track. You can gather the strength of the whole country and have a vigorous and earth-shattering battle with the evil neighbors who have been oppressing you.

Unlike the hesitation and horror they felt when they heard that the Riga army was pressing the border a year ago, this time, the Manchu ministers were all in high spirits and high morale, and they were not afraid of the powerful army outside the Huaishui Pass.

After a year of suffering, the whole empire has matured and condensed a lot, and has a clearer understanding of itself and its enemies. They know that they may still be inferior to their enemies, but they are definitely not an irreparable chasm. As long as they work hard, the army of tigers and wolves may not be able to overturn and defeat and step on the ground.

Such a thing, the Brilliant Empire has already done once. With the first time, of course there can be a second and a third time.

Everyone looked eagerly at the slender figure standing in the center of the main hall.

It was their backbone and a source of confidence in their repelling and defeating the invasion of the Riga Empire.
