Chapter 21: Yanshi 2.1
Saloman's simple words were like a bomb, and they smashed the council hall in an instant, and everyone whispered after their faces changed drastically. And the foreign minister almost jumped up as if he had been burned: "Your Excellency, Lord Regent, please pay attention to your wording!" You mean to go to war? When the word "war" was spoken, the foreign minister's face seemed to be squeezed by something, and the whole thing was twisted together, and it was obvious that he was in opposition to Saloman's words.
"Xenomorphs cannot survive and must be extinct."
Saroman was not moved by the rich expression of the foreign minister, he did not look at the other party, but sat in his place, calmly, and then looked at the others: "What do you mean? ”
His voice did not change in the same way, but it put pressure on people for no reason, so that the already angry foreign minister suddenly shut his mouth like another bird choked by the neck, and only let out a breath from his nose.
The director of the intelligence bureau moved his fingers, and then said: "To tell you the truth, Your Excellency Regent, no matter what era it is, the people are more inclined to live in peace and tranquility, not to mention, except for the Republican Federation, there is no race in the universe that has extremely malicious malice towards us......"
Saroman glanced at him, which made the Director of Intelligence pause for what he was about to say, and then his brewing momentum was weakened a lot by this pause.
"None? The news that General Xiao brought back to us is not what you said. ”
"But that place is sixty-seven light-years away, and even flying in a spaceship would take years!" As if to get back to the previous field, the foreign minister was busy.
"How many years? Just because it's a long distance, so you don't do anything? Saroman raised an eyebrow, a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"I think Minister Hu Zhou wants to say that according to the news from the Deep Space, although xenos have powerful lethality, xenos only know killing, and do not have high-tech knowledge, whether it is driving or manufacturing, xenos are blank in this regard. Therefore, it is impossible for those xenomorphs to come to our Gaia Star through the vast universe, so it will not affect us. ”
Because of Shangguan Jinhong's words, Minister Huzhou's face of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was obviously much better, and there was also a trace of gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Shangguan Jinhong.
Shangguan Jin Hong nodded at him and continued, "Since that's the case, I think it's better to treat the other party as a neighbor in the universe - although this neighbor may be a little violent. ”
Shangguan Jinhong's words made many people present smile knowingly, and it could be seen that most of them had similar thoughts - although when they first learned about the xenomorph and saw the news from the Deep Space, these people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and even some people were trembling with fright.
Saroman was completely unmoved: "Xenos don't have the knowledge of high technology, but they don't need it, because there will always be other guys who want to make wedding dresses for them." ”
"Your Excellency Lord Regent!" It was Foreign Minister Hu Zhou who took the case, probably because he was the first to speak after Saroman said "war" and then was denied, so he felt that Saloman's words were aimed at him.
And the faces of the others are not very good-looking.
"Regent, are you thinking too much? Xenos are so bloody and terrifying, they are nothing but ugly, what is there to covet? Errol spoke, his eyes filled with displeasure at Saroman.
Saroman closed his eyes, and then opened them, and there was no wavering in his golden eyes, but he didn't say anything more, only said lightly: "Born in sorrow, die in peace." ”
······
"It's unreasonable!"
Because of Saloman's domineering attitude, although the matter between the Deep Space and the Xenos did not make a final decision, Errol still held back his anger - because he found that even if there were many people on his side, as long as the man did not let go, his words as the emperor would not carry much weight at all!
Although he also has the surname "Griffith", as the so-called "heavenly family has no father and son", not to mention that he and Saroman are just uncles and nephews?
When he was young, Saroman may have been conscientious, but as he grew older, Saroman was still so arbitrary and domineering that he simply didn't take him as a king seriously!
"陛xià." Shangguan Jinhong looked at his grandson, his eyes showing worry, "Don't be angry. ”
"Grandpa, you can see that Saroman is getting more and more domineering! It's just nothing to look for! Just because a dozen astronauts are dead, a war is going to be waged against a strange planet - who does he think he is! You dare to mock me with 'die in peace'! "Errol is still relatively close to Shangguan Jinhong in private, after all, his biological father died early, and he has always had an opinion on Saloman, and the one who can contact him and be regarded as his elder is Shangguan Jinhong. As for his so-called uncle, there are also Darussalam...... Scold.
"Your Majesty, you extinguish the fire, since the regent is so insistent, there must be his reasons, but, just like you think, it is also very reckless to start a planet war because of this." It would cost the whole country all the manpower, material and financial resources to wage war, especially against the planet, and it is true that Saloman, the regent, was tough and had great prestige among the people, but ...... After all, he is just a person, and he can't represent the Jialan Empire. You know, he's the Minister of Finance.
Seeing that Shangguan Jinhong was on his side, Errol's anger subsided a little, but there was still dislike for Saroman in those eyes: "Hmph." ”
In his opinion, although the Deep Space was completely wiped out because of the xenomorphs, the Deep Space also died along with several xenos. They already knew about the threat of xenos, so it was naturally impossible for them to explore that planet again.
From this point of view, no matter how much xenomorphism develops, it can only be trapped on that planet in the end, and it is impossible to run out to make a threat, let alone pose any threat to Gaia.
The reason why Saroman has always insisted on using troops against the xenomorphs, from Errol's point of view, is not for any national righteousness at all, but just for war! Who doesn't know that before Saroman became regent, he was a militant known as the "Beast of the Blue"!
Not wanting to annoy herself for the time being, Errol reached out and stroked Flossie's head: "By the way, grandpa, aren't you looking for your mother?" I also want to tell her about today's events, why don't we be together? ”
Errol wanted to find Shangguan Gongyu to talk about today's events, and by the way, let her mother see clearly what kind of man Saroman was, so that she could understand who Saloman, the regent, and who she was. But when he and Shangguan Jinhong walked to Shangguan Gongyu's daily living place, they saw that the door was closed, and the one guarding outside was the female official Fulan who was most valued by the Queen Mother.
"Fran, does the Queen Mother have any guests?" Errol frowned.
"Your Majesty, it's Your Excellency the Regent." Although Fran was a little surprised by the arrival of Errol and Shangguan Jinhong, her face was still calm and indifferent.
"Sure enough, it's him!" Errol gritted his teeth, and he knew that the man was uneasy and kind!
"In that case, then Your Majesty, let's ......" Shangguan Jinhong also frowned, about his daughter Shangguan Gongyu and Saloman, whether it was true or not, he had heard of it.
"What are we? Could it be that I have to get permission to go anywhere? Errol also lost his temper, and directly pushed Fran away, kicking the door open: "What important matter do the queen mother and the regent have to discuss, do you have to close the door?" Why don't you let me hear it too? ”
······
Shangguan Gongyu was first startled by Errol's kicking on the door, and then he almost had a heart attack because of the content of Errol's words-
Listen, is this what a Son of Man should say to his mother?! If this wasn't her own son, she would have to slap the wall, and she wouldn't be able to pick it off (╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻!)
But Shangguan Gongyu also understands the depth of the contradiction between her son and Saloman, so although her face has changed when she is so angry, it is a pity that she can only hold back her anger and can't get angry in public - she still remembers that her son is now the emperor, and she wants to give him enough honor in front of outsiders.
As for Saloman, the other protagonist in Errol's words......
Saloman said that what the guy who didn't take to heart naturally wouldn't be taken to heart by him.
After entering the door, he found that the Queen Mother and the Lord Regent were in the meeting room, and the distance between the two was so far that it would not be misunderstood at all, and Errol was also a little embarrassed. But seeing that the person she wanted to satirize was not painful at all, but her mother's expression was stiff, which made Errol feel panicked again.
Now this situation is that Errol doesn't want to bow her head with a youthful spirit, Shangguan Gongyu can't climb down as if it didn't happen before no one hands her the steps, and Saroman completely treats himself as a bystander, seeing that the three people with the highest status in the Jialan Empire are so deadlocked, Shangguan Jinhong's face trembled, and he could only open his mouth to ease the atmosphere - no way, Fran's status is not enough at all, and he is not even qualified to be cannon fodder.
After the atmosphere eased, Errol spoke awkwardly: "I don't know what Uncle Wang has to do to find his mother?" Although the question was almost the same, the tone was much softer.
Although there is still some heart congestion, Shangguan Gongyu is still partial to his own son - the bear child born by himself must be protected while crying - so he also pulled a smile on his face: "I'm talking about your future aunt." ”
