Chapter 235: The Fifth Special Internship (45)

The Belgard Gate and the Garelian Fortress are separated by only one Galleria Gorge, and the two sides smell each other.

First, two train guns were out of the warehouse; Then one was disconnected by Qi Gen, the barrel of the cannon fell into the abyss, and the other was shattered by the beam of light that fell directly from the sky; In the end, the terrorist airship used a megaphone to say that if what happened could not be analyzed, then the garrison should really be disbanded as soon as Osborne proposed.

As she said this, Dita's voice trembled.

As the president of the First Consortium in the Western Continent, it has long been an instinct to stay calm at all times. But this instinct is now out of order, because of an emotion called ecstasy!

Train guns, strategic weapons with a range covering the city of Crossbell, once fired, the lives were destroyed. The entire state of Croatia trembled under its threat for five years. Now that the dark clouds that hung over the land had finally disappeared, how could he not be ecstatic? If he could, he really wanted to run to the top of the Orchid Tower and yell a few times below.

Yes, Dita is such a pure person - insisting on her own justice, no matter how unattainable and ridiculous it seems to outsiders, she never thinks of giving up. It's the same with the IBC to make Crossbell more prosperous, it's the same with the charity that has been going on, it's the same as running for mayor, it's all about the land you love.

No one loves this piece of Crossbell more than he does, and no one wants to move the two mountains above him more than he does—even if it means getting his hands dirty.

This love is deeper than the protagonist of this karmic land under his feet. Lloyd loved his family and his companions more than his hometown, and only Dita was truly willing to do anything for Cross Bell. (The leader of the bandits in Kezhou is indeed the leader of the bandits!! ）

Speaker McDowell next to Dita also couldn't contain his excitement, he may not be as decisive as Dita, but his affection for this land is equally deep.

Compared to the almost joyful performance of the two organizers. Osborne, on the other hand, was silent, his face sinking like water—whether or not he was really in such a bad mood, at least he had to make that expression on his face.

Olivebat, who was already quite disgusted with train guns, did not change, he lightly touched his own government representative, and whispered: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, say something a little." ”

Everyone was looking at Osborne. The real initiator of the train cannon project, he must take a stand.

Osborne picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and spoke slowly: "First of all, I apologize for the shock caused by this incident. The loss of the train cannon is indeed a great loss to our country, but it is not enough to match the safety of His Highness Oliebat and all of you. There is nothing wrong with the disposal of the Garelian fortress, but on the contrary, it is a reflection of our country's determination to maintain peace and resolutely fight terrorism. If I were there, I would have made this decision. Here, I would like to reiterate once again my country's position: the Erebonian Empire has been a peace-loving nation since ancient times. Peaceful coexistence is one of the important principles, both between nations and between countries. We love peace, but in order to preserve peace and regional stability, we do not mind the use of force – whether against terrorist groups or any malicious intent that could threaten the security of the Empire! ”

"I do feel the determination of the Empire to love 'peace'." Kolotia said solemnly.

"After all, at the cost of self-destructing train cannons." Although Locksmith deliberately suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, the curvature of the corner of his eye betrayed his heart.

The train cannon is gone, and of course Crossbell is the happiest. The second is the Republic of Calvard, which has been fighting with the Empire for the Klosbell region.

"When will Calvard show his determination?" Osborne looked at Rock Smith.

The latter smiled: "There will be a chance." But we don't have any strategic weapons to self-destruct, let alone allow terrorists to invade military locations. ”

"It's hard to say. I heard that Calvard's gangsters and hunters were quite rampant. It's no surprise that something will be done. ”

"Oh, that's because my country advocates democracy and inclusiveness, and your country with **** autocracy can't understand it for the time being."

"Inclusive, what happened to those extreme nationalists just now?"

"Integration is always accompanied by labor pains, and His Excellency Osborne, who has vigorously reformed in China, should be the most aware of this—isn't the destruction of the train cannon also related to labor pains?"

I went back. Hey? How did we learn the pronunciation of Dawn? - Olibart complaining in his heart. While giving Kolotia a look. Let these two continue to fight, and the trade meeting will not end until midnight.

Kolotia understood in seconds, so she spoke: "Both, please refrain from it. Can we have a private exchange after the meeting on the issues related to the system and livelihood of the empire and the republic? ”

"Yes." Osborne's purpose was to get to the bottom of the train guns. Just borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

"Then let's move on to the previous topic." A gleam flashed in Rocksmith's small eyes, "There is a bill regarding the abolition of the Crossbell garrison and the garrison of Belgard Gate and Tanggulam Gate. ”

At the mention of this, Dita and McDowell's faces turned ugly again.

Locksmith continued: "It is enough to see from the events just now that the government of the Autonomous Prefecture of Crossbell cannot even deal with an emergency of this magnitude on its own. ”

"That's right, not only let the terrorists swagger close to the venue, but also incompetently let them escape. It was only thanks to our arrangements and the efforts of the guerrillas that we succeeded in preventing their escape. This is indeed a good example for the bill just now. Osborne followed closely the interface, and the two of them, who were still tense just now, sang and harmonized in a blink of an eye, and cooperated tacitly, worthy of being an old politician who turned his face like a flip book.

"However, however, the guerrilla association is also entrusted by the autonomous prefecture government." Speaker McDowell struggled to tell.

"The commission is only for Mr. Arios, isn't it? Miss Lixia is probably not on the commission. Rocksmith hit the nail on the head, "Forgive my faux pas, just now, your lives have been in real jeopardy. In this case, it is time to seriously consider the garrison bill just now. (Because of the existence of Kirika, the former ace of the association, the affairs of the association are basically hidden from Rock Smith.) ）

"You, you," Speaker McDowell trembled with anger. He could see it. Osborne and Locksmith were premeditated at all.

"It's too overbearing"

"Is it for this?"

"I didn't expect to prepare such a vicious layout"

Albert, Kolotia, and Olibat all shook their heads and sighed, but due to their respective positions, they could only protest and could not take further action.

"Guys, we seem to be off track." Just as the two giants were about to push the bill through, one of the hosts who had not spoken for a long time. "The opinions of His Excellency the Prime Minister and His Excellency the President are naturally worthy of our attention, but until then, allow me to continue with the proposal that was interrupted by the attack just now. ”

"Dita?" Speaker McDowell looked up at the successor he had been optimistic about, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

Others also looked sideways, and the situation seemed to be more than they expected, including Locksmith and Osborne.

"So, what do you propose?" Archduke Albert asked.

"No, it's not a proposal, I guess it's a statement. Although I have hesitated, through this incident, I have strengthened my resolve. Right now. Allow me to take this opportunity to make a claim. At this, Dita clenched her fists, held her head high, and said loudly with an almost fanatical look, "We can no longer be swayed by other countries. For the sake of Crossbell and its environs, for the sake of long-term peace and development of the entire continent. ”

"I hereby propose to all citizens, as well as to the countries of the mainland, the independent !! of Crossbell"

With this day as a starting point, the curtain of the era was opened.

One swept the world. The big drama called Turmoil is about to be staged.

Chapter 236: Rien in the hospital

At the end of the trade meeting, Crossbell was enveloped in a quiet and warm atmosphere.

The other autonomous states – Leman, Ored, and Northumbria – were recognized by the Codex of Altria. It has the same sovereignty as the state. As a buffer zone between the empire and the republic, the Crossbell Autonomous Region has always had only autonomy. In addition, the Autonomous Regions were to pay 10% of their taxes to the Empire and the Republic in the name of the Mandate Fee.

Crossbell has been thriving as a trading and financial center, but its political roots are inversely proportional to it, making it extremely fragile. As a result, foreign interference has become more intense, and organizations such as the mafia have become more rampant.

In order to break this situation. Mayor Dita's bold proposal for "independence as a sovereign state" resonated with many citizens, but many were also worried about the reaction of the two powers. Everywhere in the autonomous region, the question of the "pros and cons of independence" is being discussed.

The atmosphere within the empire is also becoming more and more unstable—even more unstable than the original world line.

In the original world line, because of the multifaceted considerations of internal and external. As well as the fact that the train cannon fired only two empty shells (and not once or twice anyway), the terrorist attack on the Galylian fortress was not made public. But because of Li En's horizontal insertion, the train cannon was destroyed, and it was completely impossible to conceal it, causing an uproar in the Western Continent.

For a time, the anti-imperialist forces led by the Republic applauded and sent congratulatory telegrams one after another. The imperial government was also unambiguous, and directly used this as a benchmark to vigorously propagate the theory of "peace-loving in the Erebonian Empire", which saved the international impression of many people who were reckless in military force.

Internationally, at home, the aristocracy used the train cannon incident as an excuse to question the ability of the regular army - if even the weapons of the country in the military center could not be protected, how could the country be defended?

Under pressure, the Imperial Government was forced to hold Lieutenant General Varta, the commander of the Garelian fortress, accountable, and to make a major demerit, review the whole army, and pay him a salary for half a year. Does it look painless? It's just painless and itchy! The regular army is the government's own territory, and if it weren't for the fact that the regular army really damaged the face of the empire this time, Osborne would have scolded a few words on his face at most, and there would have been no substantive punishment at all.

Lane and Miriam, who directly destroyed the train cannon, were not blamed in any way, and the big guys were not stupid, if they really let the train cannon fire, it would be a lot of fun. Of course, for the sake of the face of the regular army, the merits of the students were not made public. (As for the fact that the first shell was empty.) How could a group of students know about such a military secret, and no one has ever told them. ）

Beginning with this incident, the Imperial Government significantly strengthened the vigilance of the railway gendarmerie in the name of "dealing with terrorists". The aristocracy also intends to strengthen the Confederate army in the name of preparing for terrorists, and it is rumored that they have hired several "chasseurs" with their huge Mira.

At all costs. The focus was on the terrorist organization "Imperial Liberation Front", which in the form of a joint attack on the trade council of Crossbell and the fortress of Galleria with the intention of firing "Train Cannon". It is clear that they are not a group of "mere self-proclaimed revolutionaries". Moreover, judging from the way they attacked the reformers and sniped Prime Minister Osborne, rumors began to circulate whether the "Imperial Liberation Front" was somehow related to the aristocratic faction.

As for the Declaration of Independence proposed by Dita, it was not considered a big deal. Both the government and the aristocracy dismissed it as "unrealistic rhetoric".

In short, the atmosphere inside and outside the empire has indeed moved towards unprecedented tensions.

In this regard, Lloyd, who eats radish pickles and the emperor's heart—well, in other words, Lloyd, who has always been worried about the country and the people, is worried.

And the other protagonist is heartless. In addition to reading the Imperial Times every day, to see if the general trend has changed. The rest of the time is eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating. By the way, bragging with different people - people who are hospitalized are like that.

Yes, Lane is hospitalized, not hospitalized, his injuries are really not light. If he only relied on the Church's spells and herbs to heal, the recovery was too slow, and he couldn't afford to wait. A civil war is coming. He has to get back to his prime. To do this, he needed both the occult methods of the Church and modern medicine.

Modern medicine in the continent of Semuria has actually developed quite well, but because it has been the church that has assumed the role of a hospital for thousands of years, the real "hospital" is relatively popular only in the principality of Remephilia, which has the most developed medical technology, and other countries and regions either have only one pilot (I don't believe that countries like the Imperial Republic don't want to eliminate the influence of the church!). ）。 Or not at all. Therefore, the Affiliated Hospital of Santa Ursla Medical University, which was built with the assistance of the Principality of Remifilia, has become not the only one, but the best choice.

Ward 7 (Burn Department), 7 beds - seeing the bed Cecil had booked for him, Li En was embarrassed. It seems that he has been with Qimao in this life, this is the will of the great universe, and it cannot be changed.

After all the members of Class VII took Li En to the hospital, they stayed for two more days and went to the famous local attractions before returning to school.

What the? Escort, you say? With Lixia here, it's not the turn of someone else to intervene.

Besides, although this guy is very injured and needs to recuperate for a long time, it is not that he can't take care of himself. In addition to regular drips, dressings, equipment, and spell treatment, eating, sleeping, and constantly having people visiting the patient, the ward is not crowded, there is no need to stay in the hospital at all, it is better to take this opportunity to have fun and treat yourself.

Most of the people in the class naturally had no opinion on this. Those who have opinions, firstly, are not rightly named, secondly, they are engaged in collective activities, and the minority obeys the majority, so they can only leave the hospital with a little unwillingness.

Want to know who is coming to visit the patient? Don't worry, let's count slowly.

The Marklein family, who have always been close to Lane, cried directly when they saw him wrapped in bandages.

The Bannings - Cecil would come over every day to ask about the situation, and Guy took the opportunity to take two apples with him.

All the members of the Support Section - the others have nothing to say, and Randy, the bastard, secretly threw two treasured 18X magazines over to pass the time.

Guerrillas - Highlight the duo of Aiolia and Lin. Born in "Taidou Liu", Lin taught Lixia a set of massage techniques to promote wound healing, and brought a fruit basket with mist fragrance, and Aiolia, who obtained a doctor's license, prescribed a set of recipes for Lien.

Levi sneaks in at night, drops a bouquet of flowers, chats a few words and leaves.

The representative of the Rainbow Theatre - Ilia said that she was just coming to see how miserable a certain arrogant guy was, and now that she sees it, she is in a good mood.

The Capua family—Doren, Jost, and Jill on the go.

Of course, Li En's family, Shu Huaze's whole family, is also indispensable. - When Jill learns of Riene's hospitalization, she immediately flies from Luray to Uumer on the Lynx to pick up the Baroness, transfer to the imperial capital, pick up Elyse, and go straight to Crossbell—three days have passed since Riehn was admitted to the hospital.

In addition, it is the big people who put public and then private.

Olibat, with Mura and Tova, was the first to arrive (relative to the other big shots) in the name of visiting the students, and the next scene that happened was something that everyone could imagine.

Tova's eyes are red, ten thousand thanks; Ogua was unscrupulously teasing beside him, and was finally knocked to the ground by Mura and dragged away.

As soon as they walked on the front foot, Rector arrived on the back foot. If something happened to his own son, it was impossible for his father to ignore it, but due to identity issues and intelligence operation considerations, Osborne could not come forward in person, so he could only send Rector over. Announcing that he was looking at Miriam, he praised and thanked Rector himself and the students.

Then there were the four of Kolotia, Yuria, Sherazade, and Aina, who came to visit in the name of visiting their old comrades. After chatting for a while, the last three left the room under various pretexts, and Sheila dragged Lixia away with her hand, leaving the space for Rien and Colotia to be alone.

What exactly the two said, no one knows. However, judging from the slightly red cheeks on Collotia's face when she went out, Lane must have taken advantage of this guy.

Well, looking at it this way, Li Ye's life in the hospital seems to be quite leisurely.

The above things are basically expected by Li En, and they are also the contacts he has accumulated over the past nine years.

However, he was really surprised by the people who arrived a few days later. (To be continued.) )
