When he saw Prime Minister Osborne again, he was noticeably older. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although I can still see the vigorous spirit, I can't hide the thick tiredness in my eyes.

The meeting took place in Heimdall, the capital of the Erebonian Empire.

The bustling metropolis known as the Crimson Imperial Capital has now been reduced to "pitch-black ruins", and what is left behind by the satellite cannon is a huge cylindrical depression with a radius of more than two hundred sub-distances, like the wrath of the goddess, and the neat incisions can be clearly seen, and in some places it is even vitrified due to the high temperature, shining in the sun.

Liber and Crossbell were both very unharmed, and although they knew that the satellite cannon had caused great damage, everyone could not understand what kind of damage it was......

Walking on the streets of the imperial capital, You Chensi secretly glanced at Li En's faces, and each of them had two words "heavy" written on them. For Class 7 from the Erebonian Empire, this tragic situation is probably even heavier than others feel.

Most of the people of the empire lost hope because of the blow, women had tears on their faces, and the soldiers were lazy, cleaning dilapidated houses and patrolling without effort.

Lost hope.

The people of the empire rarely encountered such a predicament, so the sudden arrival of a great tragedy broke away the fragile psychological defenses of the people.

This is also the reason why Kia is crazy for Lancet's world.

It's just a blind elimination of danger, and in the environment like a glass greenhouse, beautiful flowers called fragile are born. Once you take a hit, it collapses. With such a weak human will, Kia's workload naturally became more and more heavy, until one day, Kia was cornered by this huge pressure......

At this point, Cross Bell's response was completely different.

Although I had only heard about it on the Karejas, it seemed that Crossbell, under the guidance of the Archduke Temporary, was united and was actively preparing to help the neighbors and defeat Leinster.

Suffering gives human growth.

This sentence is vividly embodied at this critical juncture.

Unfortunately, by the time everyone understands this, it is already too late.

The meeting room was the office of the former Imperial Defense Chief. That is, the office of March's father. He is now at the scene of the disaster, and he really has no time to sit in the office. Prime Minister Osborne's office is in good condition, but considering that most of the people are Liber and Cross Bell's people, they are wary of themselves, and it is always nerves to be in "own" office.

Also because of the above, there were not many people involved in this meeting. For example, Chloe, seeing that the prime minister is eager to kill someone who can be killed quickly, is obviously inappropriate.

Lloyd and Yutatsumi, with Olivier Coloss. Just before that, Interim Grand Duke McDowell issued a statement to the outside world, Lloyd and You Chensi, the two were granted the same treatment as the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In other words, it was the heads of state of the three countries who came to meet with the iron-blooded prime minister, a "summit" in the true sense of the word.

And the iron-blooded prime minister's side is naturally himself. Now the representative of the imperial power [Emperor] is injured, the representative of the aristocratic faction [Grand Duke Kane] is dead, the four famous families are suffering heavy casualties, and the iron-blooded prime minister is the most powerful person in the empire.

Both sides know that at this time, the other party will not engage in any black hands, and when there is an assassination, the bodyguards are symbolically brought some. Murayulia and the two accompanied the prince and princess, and You Chensi and Lloyd were originally first-class warriors.

Next to the iron-blooded prime minister is Clea, known as the Ice Maiden.

As the head of the railway gendarmerie, she is really embarrassed now.

As the name suggests, the [Railway] gendarmerie is based on the [Railway]. The railway gendarmerie is characterized by the use of railways that crisscross the country and travel quickly to various regions.

However, at a time when the country's railways are paralyzed by nearly ninety percent, the railway gendarmerie is basically paralyzed. Claire has also become the most idle of all the Iron Blooded Sons. The bodyguard can only let her get on it.

Could it be that you can still call Rect, who is far away in the Republic of Calvard?

"We're not going to be official. Let's get straight to the point. ”

is really worthy of being an iron-blooded prime minister, a man known as a monster.

Sitting at the mahogany desk, with his hands folded, a sense of intimidation from a big man was immediately revealed. As the leader of the empire, he is now the one who best understands the meaning of the invention of the word "race against time".

Every second of delay means that countless tasks come to a standstill. No link can be without him.

Now is the time when people are in fear, and it is the time when a supreme "iron fist" is needed to keep them faithful.

The words of the iron-blooded prime minister made the four of them send some in their hearts. Except for Kross, the other three are not very used to the officialdom's way of talking with a smile hidden in a knife, and it is great to be able to express their hearts directly in the vernacular.

"Well, we hope to be able to get assistance from the Erebonian Empire."

"Impossible."

The iron-blooded prime minister categorically denied it.

Olivier's face darkened: Everyone is from the empire, and I am still the prince of the empire, you said no in such categorical terms in front of me, is this too shameless for me?

Feeling that he couldn't hold his face, he was about to speak, Osborne waved back, and the Ice Maiden nodded slightly, and immediately took out a document from under her arm and handed it to him.

"No, this is a draft table of the damage to the Empire. Queen Koros, you are a man of understanding. Do you think the Erebonian Empire still has the power to help you? ”

Kross was named, and took the document with some trepidation, her expression solemn with each line of her beautiful eyes. After a while, she threw the document on the table weakly, looked at You Chensi, and shook her head.

"Erebonia has not experienced such a catastrophe in the last ten years, and the people of Enron have been swept away by this terrible attack. The whole empire has been so badly damaged that I am unable to provide any material aid - and...... You don't need help, do you? ”

It was obviously a rhetorical question, but Osborne showed an affirmative expression on his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked like he had a lot of room in his chest.

This person! I must know that Chloe has joined the Expeditionary Force!

The four of them are like mirrors in their hearts, Osborne is definitely not a fool, and he is not a waste, however, even if he knows that he is a monster, but Chloe logged in to the Karejas a few hours ago, and he didn't expect that the Iron Prime Minister would receive the information so quickly! What a terrible intelligence power!

"Yes, what we need is not material assistance from Erebonia, but a ......"

"It's a spiritual gesture to let the world know about our attitude towards Lenster. Because Erebonia has always been the hegemon in the world, our attitude is crucial. Right? ”

Osborne raised his hand and interrupted Kloss's words.

"Yes. As you think. ”

Although Yutakami was unhappy with his style of speech—as if Erebonia was still a first-class power—there was nothing he could do.

Prime Minister Osborne saw it very thoroughly, and he was very correct, and now everyone was begging him Osborne, and he was in an advantageous position......

Dealing with smart people is both easy and cumbersome.

"Well, my answer is, yes."

The Iron Prime Minister raised his head haughtily.

This time, the boldness once again made everyone show a confused expression.

He, what the hell does he want to do?

It doesn't feel like he really wants to help everyone, but he made this statement?

"Heh, being suppressed by Leinster is definitely not a good thing for Erebonia. So, why don't I help you? Claire, you will be my spokesperson, and you will be temporarily assigned here. With the Iron-Blooded Son here, the attitude of the Erebonian Empire should be obvious. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The Ice Maiden stood upright, her boots clattering with a crisp sound.

“…… Now, Prime Minister, I would like to know why you agree? ”

You Chensi suddenly asked what was wrong.

Osborne raised his eyebrows: "I thought you were going to say something, because the interests ......"

"No, there's no benefit to you in that. Because whether you help or not, we're going to defeat Ranster. Whether you help or not, we will assemble a strong army. Captain Claire is indeed excellent, but in a good officer, the role that a person can play in a war is a drop in the bucket. If you're hoping to build your reputation and power at this time, you'll want to focus on Erebonia itself. Regardless, it's a thankless task for you to help us. So, why? ”

You Chensi sharply analyzed one by one.

It's not strange that the Iron Prime Minister would agree. But...... I can't figure out the reason for him, You Chensi always feels like a fish choking. Interests are the most basic and strongest bond between people and countries. When there is no relationship of interest, the alliance that was concluded, You Chensi really can't believe it.

The Iron Prime Minister chuckled, "You are very much like me. ”

"Come, my chin is much sharper than yours, and my eyes are much bigger than yours."

You Chensi frowned, and casually said something useless, from the beginning, all the conversations were under the control of the iron-blooded prime minister, and this feeling of being dominated by the topic was really terrible.

"I'll admit it."

The iron-blooded prime minister responded casually, and immediately wiped out You Chensi's counterattack.

"If I had to say why...... That's why I want to believe in hope. Claire, show them that. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Captain Claire took out a document from the folder again.

That's a report.

At the top of the page, there is a big photo.

That's Ellie's gesture.

Wearing a jet-black smart suit, the white shirt inside and her long pigeon gray hair are superimposed together to create a gradient of black, white and gray, and the neat expression on her face makes people feel her style at once. It's as if Ellie has jumped out of the photo, vividly highlighting her presence in front of everyone.

It was a report of the conference.

Ellie, who was dressed in professional attire, was pressing her hands on the table and calling for something.

Beside her, a bodyguard in a red suit was secretly yawning, with an expression of not waking up.

"It's ...... Ellie? Congressman McDowell's appeal? ”

Lloyd read the title and felt that this strong girl was still by everyone's side, and Lloyd's heart warmed.

"Hmm. I really didn't expect it. A young girl who was so young at an independent meeting could say such a thing. Wish...... Hehe. I've also become a little tempted to give it a try, and I'm believing in some hope. Anyway, even if I fail, I have nothing to lose, and Claire has now lost most of her value because of the paralysis of the railway. For venture capital, it is suitable. Such a statement, You Chensijun, can you feel at ease? ”

Look at Claire, even if she is said to have "lost her value", she still has a firm and cold military expression on her face, and she does not mean to waver in the slightest.

“…… Reluctantly. ”

"You Chensi-kun, think about what I said before. I am not your enemy. ”

At the end of the meeting, the Iron Prime Minister concluded with this sentence. In a silent atmosphere, everyone separated. The Iron Prime Minister still has a task to do, and everyone needs to hurry to Calvard.

As long as they can get the help of Erebonia and Calvard, it is natural that other small countries will be more confident. Alliances can be formed.
