"Persuasion?" Leo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't ask you to surrender to the eldest princess, because the eldest princess and you are not enemies in the first place. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info The reason why I came here is just to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two parties and let us reach a pleasant cooperation. ”

"Cooperation?" Prime Minister Paul's gaze seemed to have narrowed slightly: "What kind of cooperation?" ”

Leo laughed, "You're knowingly asking." Let's be blunt, as long as the Prime Minister is willing to immediately lead the more than 20,000 troops under his command to join the eldest princess, then I can assure you on behalf of the eldest princess that you will be rewarded generously when Her Royal Highness the eldest princess ascends the throne. ”

"Enough good returns?" Prime Minister Paul couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth slightly, for this old prime minister who has lost power for many years, is there anything more tempting than the words "powerful minister"?

Prime Minister Paul knew very well in his heart that although they were all compatriots of the same mother, the eldest princess on the palace wall was completely different from her own brother, the second prince Julian.

The old prime minister had heard of how the eldest princess led the invincible armada across the seas and played with the entire colonial continent, and such an empress with enough wisdom and skill would not allow a powerful minister who held great power and could even override the emperor to appear in the Spanny Empire.

So Prime Minister Paul made a decision: "You have five minutes to convince me. ”

"Five minutes?" Leo laughed again, "With all due respect, this may be a little too much time. ”

Prime Minister Paul did not speak, but stood there waiting for Leo's next words.

Leo straightened his face, and finally conceived and organized the language in his mind.

The most critical moment has arrived.

As long as the language is right, Leo will be able to easily persuade the more than 20,000 troops led by Prime Minister Paul, and let the eldest princess gain the support of the civilian faction led by the Prime Minister.

After clearing his throat, Leo spoke.

"Prime Minister, frankly speaking, I think you and your Ice Bear family are actually dying now."

This sentence made Prime Minister Paul's face change slightly, his face showed a trace of anger, and he snorted coldly: "Nonsense!" ”

It must be said that a big man like Prime Minister Paul, who has been in the top position for a long time and has an aura of official authority, still looks very scary when he gets angry.

But Leo was completely unmoved, because this was what he wanted to achieve, so he continued to speak: "The reason is actually very simple, the head of the prince you support is in my hands at the moment, without Julian's signboard, you can't play this game at all." ”

Leo's meaning is obvious, the reason why the 50,000 army will face off here and now, of course, is to support the princes and princesses who are qualified to inherit the throne, but your candidates for prime minister Paul are all dead, what do you have to support and help without candidates? As long as the news of Julian's death gets out, your army will disperse in minutes, do you believe it or not?

Prime Minister Paul sneered: "Two-legged tigers are not easy to find, and there are many two-legged princes in the palace!" Julian's death doesn't matter at all, I just need to find another prince. ”

"Is that so?" Leo spread his hands: "So all these soldiers around you know that the reason why they raised troops into the city is to support the second prince, but you have to tell them that the second prince has died after success, and the one who will ascend the throne will be- well, for example, the thirteenth prince?" Do you think this answer will satisfy these soldiers, officers and generals? ”

Prime Minister Paul's face sank: "It doesn't matter whether they are satisfied or not, as long as I am satisfied." ”

Leo smiled slightly: "Prime Minister, although I am not even half your age, if you think of me as a stinky little brat, then you are very wrong. Assuming that you can really achieve the final victory, then the satisfaction of the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Silver Wing Knights is the most important thing to pay attention to after your victory, and it is also the most important thing for you to invest in after your victory, isn't it? ”

Prime Minister Paul looked at Leo with a calm face: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"Of course you know what I'm talking about, you're just playing dumb." Leo pointed out the weakness of the Prime Minister very sharply: "There is an old saying that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and a government without an army cannot maintain its rule. But where did your army come from? Don't forget that almost all of the Empire's armies have been mastered and infiltrated by Lord Lean and his Golden Lion Family, and only the 25,000 Silver Wing Knights are the only forces you can trust. ”

When Leo said this, although the old prime minister looked expressionless, he actually had a monstrous wave in his heart.

Leo is not wrong in what he said, the lack of troops is indeed the biggest drawback and death of Prime Minister Paul at this moment.

Due to the strange existence of the Golden Lion Family, although the command of most of the empire's armies in the past three hundred years is still nominally subordinate to the empire, in fact, how many of these armies have been infiltrated and controlled by the Golden Lion Family, I'm afraid no one can say.

Although a large part of the army is unlikely to start any rebellion in the event of Prime Minister Paul's victory and the general situation in the city of Ridmar, what is the guarantee that they will be loyal to Prime Minister Paul and the emperor whom he has raised?

Therefore, the only force that Prime Minister Paul can rely on to deter political enemies and all those who have bad intentions is the 25,000 Silver Wing Knights soldiers around him now.

But Leo didn't know that even the hearts of the 25,000 Silver Wing Knights were buried with the seeds of discontent and rebellion.

Therefore, Prime Minister Paul knows very well in his heart that his real situation today is actually worse than what Leo said.

But the Prime Minister still looked at Leo calmly: "What if I only have 25,000 people around me? As long as I win, more troops and generals will naturally come to join me. ”

Leo interrupted Prime Minister Paul, "But you can't trust these people at all. ”

"Sometimes you don't need to trust someone else to work for you, because as long as there is enough interest in them, they can't betray it," said Prime Minister Paul. ”

"That's right." Leo said: "But if these 25,000 people also betray you, then no matter how many people belong to you for profit, they will choose to betray you." And don't forget that if you want to win, you must at least defeat the Scarlet Knights and Lord Leanne in front of us, not to mention whether you can win this war, and even if you do win, how many of the 25,000 people will be left in the face of such a powerful enemy? ”

"When this great war has consumed a great deal of your elite strength, what do you have to deter those who have dissenting intentions, to protect the Emperor you support, and the power you can gain?"
