405 Crisis and opportunity coexist
Therefore, when the people of the city were panicking, His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister were very calm, obviously this calmness made the slaves around them feel a little relieved, the noble man is indeed a nobleman, and his own master can be so calm that we slaves also feel admiration and pride.
However, the young king also noticed that when the letter from the devil's ship was delivered to the Prime Minister, Lord Suhabi, who had always been calm, raised his brow imperceptibly after reading the letter.
The attentive king knew that it was a kind of panic in his own uncle's heart, or a knee-jerk reaction to something that he was at a loss.
Next, His Majesty also read this letter from the Australian Commonwealth, which was a document with strong wording that could immediately trigger a declaration of war between countries, and then the young King suddenly realized that this so-called crisis was probably not a crisis for him, right?
Right! Instead, it could be a God-given opportunity for me to take down my opponent!
The reason is very simple, he is not completely pro-government, and now the whole of Sulu knows that he is currently just a puppet of the prime minister.
So that's easy, since you didn't give me the power in the first place, then, now that the crisis comes, you're going to take full responsibility, aren't you?
Hmph, it's really cool to have the power to be self-serving, but there is a price to be cool, that is, the consequences of all crises, whether it is good or bad, you have to bear it yourself!
At that time, except for a few cronies around you, no one really helps you, right? At this moment, the young King thought gloating in his heart.
Yes, the corners of the king's mouth turned up a little when he thought of this.
Hum! Not only will people not help you, but for most people, they will even make jokes about standing by and watching you!
They will tear down the oil bottle and not help it, they will secretly add fuel to the fire, and they will even fall into the ground, no way, who will let you have the power alone? You deserve it!
Perhaps, his own uncle also realized this, especially after reading the letter, the Prime Minister did not have the intention of consulting the court at all, because he knew that there were no of his cronies in this palace at present, oh, except for Captain Haruban who was kneeling on the floor and picking bricks just now.
However, they didn't say anything about each other, and the Prime Minister immediately took his leave of the palace under the pretext of wanting to check the big ghost ship, in fact, he didn't have to guess where he went first, he was sure that the Prime Minister's Mansion, where his wise trust and cronies were waiting for his master.
Then some little joy and little excitement rose in the king's heart, see? Isn't this the end of the world? In less than half a day, your Prime Minister's family has lost three of the nine pulp discharge boats! Third! Hahahaha!
At this moment, the young king's face was serious, but he was laughing in his heart......
North of Holo City, on the tower of the city gate, the Prime Minister of Sulu, Lord Suhabi Datu, was holding a telescope to observe the sea surface carefully.
Although the Prime Minister's face was still calm, his heart was dripping blood, but he was still reluctant to put down the binoculars, because this would somewhat hide the anger, despair, and sadness in his eyes.
Eventually, he really didn't want to look any further, and the three giant pulp rowing boats were gone, leaving only a few wooden barrels floating faintly on the surface of the sea, and the smoke that had not been exhausted after the explosion on the sea.
The Prime Minister didn't know whether to anger or comfort his subordinates for a while, because he was a little embarrassed by the opponent in front of him, but obviously because the opponent was super strong, so it seems that the responsibility for the failure cannot be attributed to these subordinates.
However, no matter what, he now knows very well in his heart that he has finally kicked the iron plate after decades of rampant in this sea.
Now, the two strange ships, one large and one small, were parked on the sea not far from the dock, standing motionless in front of their eyes.
The sea was sparkling in the sun, and it was a good day, and the huge ship in the distance was clearly anchored, and her gray-black hull was so smooth that it was impossible to see what it was made of.
However, the Prime Minister judged with his rich experience that the ship was definitely not made of wood, and the Prime Minister, who was rich in learning, knew that in terms of this kind of hull structure, wood could not withstand such a huge hull pressure, and the only thing that could make a man-made thing so huge in this world was probably stone......
However, can a stone float in water?
Not to mention sailing in the water? All in all, it's all incredible......
As the messenger said, the white building on the giant ship was indeed taller than the city gate tower, and although there were all kinds of masts reaching into the sky, there was no canvas hanging on it, and the whole ship was moored there silently, and the pillars of smoke rising from the chimneys of the ship seemed to be harmless to humans and animals.
No fighting, no peace, no surrender, no disregard, no leaving.
I should not see you, as if you did not exist!
Of course, it's better that you can't see me, and that I don't exist.
In short, I put on a posture that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and waited and watched the changes—the Prime Minister had wandered around the city for a long time, and finally made such a decision......
Soon after, in the main hall of the palace, the young king's face put on a sincere attitude, nodded his head in agreement with the prime minister's decision, praised a few words, and said empty words such as my uncle is indeed a pillar of the country, your decision must be good, and the king is very relieved, and then returned to his own bedchamber.
In the bedchamber, the king finally smiled mockingly, and he felt that he had finally touched his uncle's hole cards.
"Uncle is old......
The young king sighed in his heart, Suhabidatu, hmph, you are no longer the prince of the tribe who bravely fought bravely with a steel sword and was the first to jump onto the enemy's warship, and you are no longer the fearless warrior who fought against a dozen pirates and rescued the princess of Sulu, his aunt......
Back then, my aunt fell madly in love with you, brave and handsome, even though you were the son of a humble tribal chief on the island of Holo. However, probably because of the fate of the past and present lives, his aunt did not hesitate to break with the old king and marry him!
In the end, the elderly king actually agreed to the marriage, well, I have to admit that your Prince Suharbi's talents did live up to expectations, and finally became friends with his father and minister of the humerus......
"However, uncle, you are indeed old, if you still have three points of blood in your blood, you will not make such a decision today."
The young king sighed in his heart, and he looked up at the red wall outside the palace, where a green plantain tree and red flowers probed into the wall, and the king was a little displeased, and ordered his men to cut down the plantain at once......
Watching the banana tree disappear outside the palace walls, the young king walked back and forth in the palace with confidence, and his mind returned to his prime minister.
“…… Yes, uncle, now you have gained glory and wealth, but you have lost your courage, you are afraid of change, you are afraid of fighting, you are afraid of losing everything around you, but do not forget that the enemy around you is not afraid of anything......".
When the young king thought of this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he finally realized what it meant to gain and lose.
The so-called "five noes" strategy of this dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, which is the product of gains and losses.
The reason is very simple: the Prime Minister is now facing a situation of disappointment, and in the face of the note sent by the Australian Federation, Sulu can only choose between war and peace, and it seems that there is no third way. Well, if the Prime Minister chooses to fight, then who will fight?
