Don't say that Luo Zhengdao is not the kind of person who likes to show off his sense of humor, even if he is full of comedy cells, he will have to be serious. Seeing the highly nervous table of the half-elf beauty, Luo Zhengdao, who expected that it would not be too smooth today, felt a headache, he sighed, then knelt on one knee, held the bouquet in both hands and said:

"Lady Vina Dubov, please marry me!"

Although he was aware from the beginning that the former student was not joking, Vina Dobov had far more concerns and fears about the marriage than the ungrounded time-traveler. The half-elf beauty, who is an indigenous inhabitant of the New World, cannot escape the shadow of hierarchical society and descent, no one lives in a vacuum, and of course cannot ignore the opinions of others.

"I'm half-elf......"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who sneered at the rules of the new world, really cried and laughed, no matter how wise and intelligent people are, they cannot surpass the era in which they live, and immediately he unceremoniously interrupted Vina Dubov's self-pity and said:

"You may have heard that I am going to accept the political marriage, and even Yaling and Elf are going to marry, do you need to be afraid of being accused of marrying a half-elf? Who would dare to stand up and say such things in front of me? ”

This is indeed the case, when Luo Zhengdao announced that he would marry his governess, although many subordinates felt that marrying a half-elf woman would be insulting to the identity of the regent, how could he be better than people! Now even the pure-blooded Yaling and the elven housewife, they have to pinch their noses and accept it, and then they have to force their heads to make things difficult for their own people like Vina Dubov, which is an overly hypocritical appearance, so the wave of public opinion that should have been raging has not yet set off and quietly ended.

For those who are full of the concept of human orthodoxy, it is far more acceptable to encourage Luo Zhengdao to marry a human woman, at least to give birth to a few more pure-blood illegitimate children, than to let them watch a certain half-blood descendant ascend to the throne of the Emperor of the Bright Empire.

It is not easy to settle his private life, and Luo Zhengdao can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but the new world is still moving forward at its own pace, and his influence on the whole world is still spreading as an alien butterfly flapping its wings.

Tongguò Niedam ordered a batch of pirate ironclads from Luo Zhengdao, and the Elven Federation obtained the actual analysis, and then successfully copied this new warship, and they recently began trial production.

Compared with the expensive construction and the need for a large number of skilled sailors to control, the traditional wooden sail warship represented by the Yaling warship, the elf cottage version of the ironclad ship is more in line with Luo Zhengdao's realistic needs, but it is not Luo Zhengdao's consistent style to fully rely on a certain gold owner, and he took advantage of the opportunity of the other party to marry and put forward conditions by the way. A group of naked ironclad ships provided by the Elven Federation, that is, warships equipped with power systems and armor, but not equipped with weapon systems, Luo Zhengdao planned to transport these ships to the Wake Reef Shipyard for outfitting along with cannons and other weapons provided by the Yaling Royal Ordnance Bureau.

The core of this three-way deal is the issue of the inheritance of the Bright Empire, according to the inheritance rules of human dynasties, the eldest son born to the wife of the emperor or nobleman, that is, the so-called eldest son, has full inheritance rights, and other concubines have no legal inheritance rights.

Yaling and the elf respectively bet heavily on Luo Zhengdao, obviously it is impossible to take the initiative to give up the commanding heights of the wife, but let the other party grasp the initiative.

cleverly took advantage of the differences between the two sponsors, and Luo Zhengdao temporarily fooled the differences and contradictions on the condition that he would not set up a wife before he was officially proclaimed emperor. In fact, everyone knows that it is greasy, and no one expects to be able to hide it from others by playing such a small trick. The hound that started to run wild without smelling the prey is not a good dog, and when will Luo Zhengdao be only one step away from the emperor's throne, that is the key point for all participants to sprint and compete. Before that, the controversy entangled in technical details can only be said to lack the necessary political sensitivity and awareness, and the so-called promises are used to renege!

Busy negotiating the terms of cooperation, in the following days, Luo Zhengdao suddenly became busy, a number of consecutive weddings are a link that cannot be reduced, if a wedding is held to marry all the marriage partners, this is quite beautiful, it is impossible for the other family to agree to such a self-deprecating value.

No matter how many reasonable excuses and reasons there are, those families who are married to Luo Zhengdao always have to take care of their own dignity, and it doesn't matter what is going on in these marriages, they can only be said in terms of face!

Fortunately, these expensive wedding pomp and circumstance did not have to be paid by Luo Zhengdao out of his own pocket, otherwise he would really have the urge to vomit three liters of blood, and the Yaling Empire and the Elven Federation did not hesitate to spend money to organize weddings, which was not only a practical need to boost the prestige of Luo Zhengdao and the Restoration Army, but also a demonstration to the Second Goblin Empire by funding human exiles

Hearing the news that the two sworn enemies were arranging the marriage for Luo Zhengdao with great fanfare, could the Second Goblin Empire, which had been frustrated by the inability to quell the resistance of the human race, not be stimulated? It's as hard as it gets. The positive and negative sides of the coin, the more people with strict inferiority complex, the easier it is to go to the other extreme of arrogance, after the first goblin empire was completely freed, the goblin self-esteem has become extremely sensitive and fragile, the slightest wind and grass may provoke them, not to mention that this time Yaling and the elf clearly slapped the circle and pulled it over, and the face was too hard, and the face of the goblin second empire was swollen.

“…… This is extremely irresponsible, it is all the fault of the military department, and we cannot continue to let that Will Needham develop. ”

The low pressure in the palace hall could be felt even by the most nervous fools, and a certain goblin boss who roared as loudly as the horse sect leader beat his chest, counting the failures of the crusade fleet and the goblin navy, especially the leadership responsibility of the goblin army, which pushed the oppressive atmosphere of the scene to a new level.

The so-called solidarity is just a look for outsiders, goblins. Behind closed doors, they still fight like black-eyed chickens, and when their tongues are bitten by their teeth, how can there be no disputes within any organization? At this time, another goblin boss snorted with disdain and said:

"Stop talking nonsense, can we stop him from having today? This is the result of the incompetence of the military department......"

This hand seems to refute, but in fact, the divine mending knife of the help has cut a bloody hole in the military department, and the face of the military commander-in-chief, who has been putting on a posture of humbly accepting criticism next to him, is becoming more and more ugly, today this is the rhythm of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it!

After fighting in the court for so long, fighting wits and courage with the goblin bosses all day long, the goblin emperor honed a good eye, clearly distinguishing who is in the same group with whom, and who is closer to whom. In recent years, the first job of the goblin emperor is to prevent any faction from completely controlling the court, and once the goblin boss unites, it will definitely not be a disaster that the enemy will face, but a problem for the emperor's henchmen. No matter how nice these guys say, isn't it to exclude dissidents and facilitate the seizure of power? The winning side will definitely take the Goblin Emperor, which it cannot tolerate, and it is the best policy to muddy the situation as soon as possible.

"Enough, this is the court, not the Senate chamber, leave the nonsense of accountability over there to shout!"

The struggle for power and profit of one's own people is more ferocious and ruthless than fighting with outsiders, which is a common problem of all intelligent races, as the little story says, once you encounter danger, it doesn't matter if you can't outrun the lion, you can just outrun the companions next to you. It can only be a legend that everyone is united as one, and it is the norm for everyone to sweep the snow in front of their own door.

The goblin emperor's roar instantly overshadowed the pretentious bigwigs, and the court suddenly quieted down, and a goblin boss whose position was closer to the royalists stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, you can consider an alternative."

Without waiting for the emperor to answer, the chief of the military department couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart, and interjected:

"Your Majesty, please think carefully, this is detrimental to the honor of the Empire."

Hearing this, he glanced at His Excellency the Chief Commander, and the Goblin Emperor, who seemed to have a somewhat strange expression, paused, and then said slowly:

"So what do you say you should do?"

“…… The money required for the plan was allocated by the Senate and carried out in the name of the revenge of the White Mountain tribe for General Zheti. ”

The more we lack, the more we have to shout something, and it is precisely because unity is so difficult that people praise it as a compliment. In fact, most of the time, everyone will only strive for their own personal interests, which is the instinct of intelligent life. The inherent problems of human beings, goblins are still not exempt, at most they are not exempt from the differences. The rise of the Second Goblin Empire is too fast, and in order to compete for the rapidly expanding interests, the bigwigs don't have too many things to do in secret, and the dirty things that happened in the meantime are mentioned one by one, which is estimated to make the most brazen villains blush.

Implicated by the golden bloodline, passively involved in the eye of the storm of power struggle, the goblin emperor has seen a lot of various official articles in the past few years, and it is not taboo to peel off this layer of the emperor's new clothes in public, don't get me wrong, it's not that it is determined to run naked.

At this time, the Goblin Emperor glared at the chief of the military department in displeasure, and asked rhetorically:

"Oh, are you sure you're going to succeed?"

I could hear that the goblin emperor's tone was not good, but the words had already been spoken, and the goblin bosses present were all witnesses, and the chief of the military department regretted it and couldn't swallow the words back, so he had to say vaguely:

"This ...... His Majesty cannot guarantee success. ”

Unintentionally entangled in the details, the Goblin Emperor immediately sank his face and scolded:

"Very good, then don't cover it up, the military department is responsible for forming a special assassination unit, I want the result, you know what to do?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. This plan takes time to prepare and implement. ”

"Well, let's start now!"

Assassination is an art that is not openly taught in political textbooks, and politicians know that it is the most convenient and labor-saving means to completely eliminate their opponents on a physical level. The death of Caesar at the end of the Roman Republic in the Old World was a clear proof of this, but the selfish mentality of people who were afraid of being assassinated in retaliation by the same kind of assassination was always secret.

The intelligence agencies of the old world usually divided the nature of their work into two categories: dry work and wet work, the former is relatively boring and simple, and intelligence gathering work only needs to hire civilian personnel to analyze and compare the public data and various information to arrive at the answer, and of course it is better if there is network surveillance. It is said that the lighthouse country has established a full system of surveillance, and if you deliberately mention a few sensitive words on the phone on the west coast of the Pacific, the meaty content of chatting with your girlfriend will be fortunate enough to be kept in the CIA's database for several years. Wet work is very risky, and secretly infiltrating a heavily fortified institution to steal top-secret information is a high-risk task undertaken by only a very small percentage of field agents, and a very small proportion of intelligence work.
