"How so...... If His Majesty comes back to reason with us, he has basically no chance of winning, and even if you and I agree with him, a single Imperial Council alone is enough for him to spend a year convincing, and he may not succeed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If the old majesty takes some more drastic methods, it doesn't make sense, the officials in the imperial government who originally followed the old majesty are basically no longer the real power faction, and the old people in the major families who fight the world with the old majesty are almost gone, and the empire created by the old majesty himself no longer obeys his command. ”

"Of course, I never thought that His Majesty would take such a 100% chance of stopping us, this is just a side effect of the development of the empire, and it is also the rules set by His Majesty that have come into effect. But I never expected that His Majesty would ...... will play tricks with us directly! I'm really convinced, every time he can find a way to deal with all the problems, even if he can't do it, he can come up with a way, this time he may win again......" Yiyi has figured out the general context of the whole thing, no longer shocked and regretful, but began to think, but the result is not ideal.

"It's a trick! That's right,! He will snatch the victory from me, from his son! Why? Why? Can't he see me succeeding? He's already got so much credit, why can't he let me get it too? I said a long time ago that he doesn't like me! Hong Jinha's reaction was the opposite of Yiyi's, he was very, very disappointed, helpless, aggrieved and angry, and couldn't figure out why his father had to go against him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be so loud. If you're depressed, I can accompany you to the yard for a few tricks, but after the fight, you have to control your temper. It's useless to get angry, it's useless to be wronged, what we need now is a solution, a solution to the problem. Yi Yi was not surprised by Hongjinhe's reaction, and this is probably not the first time.

“…… You're not my opponent, and there's nothing to be happy about when I bully an old man, and I'll have to pay for it if I break you. Okay, I can control my emotions, I can, I can ...... Hu ...... "Hong Jinhe didn't continue to break out, he also knew that he had this weakness, and every time Yi Yi reminded him, it already made him feel very embarrassed."

"Operation Decapitation...... Not to mention, it's a fitting name. A country is like a human body, the government is the head, and when the head is controlled, the body naturally surrenders. This method can also be imagined by His Majesty, on the surface it is full of risks, think about it seriously, but it is much easier than our mobilization of the whole country to attack with armed forces, and the efficiency is also high, which is very in line with the spirit of exchanging the minimum investment for the maximum benefit. Yi Yi picked up the letter again, flipped it from beginning to end, and still didn't see any loopholes except for emotion.

"When you have such a father, you won't be in the mood to talk about it here. Now what do we do? After six or seven years of preparation and so much energy and financial resources spent on the whole country, could it be that this letter should be used to tell the parliament that this operation had died abruptly? If the council doesn't agree, does it really want our father and son to meet on the battlefield? Hong Jinhe's mood also calmed down and he no longer continued to complain about Hong Tao.

"Let's talk about it first, we can't deal with the council, your majesty must have it, since he blatantly sent this letter over, he didn't plan to hide it from the council, and there should be a countermeasure. I'll put in a bill on the council to elaborate on this, but you have to be neutral. As the letter said, think from the position of the emperor first, and then the relationship between father and son. Yi Yi put forward his suggestion, which is also the safest way at present, whether to continue to send troops to the north or die down is still too early to make a decision.

“…… What if the council really decides to fight him? Hong Jinhe has complaints, dissatisfaction, disappointment, and expectations for Hong Tao, but he is by no means ruthless. If it weren't for his father's resolute abdication and passing on the throne to himself, according to his father's body and bones, he might still be the crown prince now. And his father also sacrificed a lot for himself, in addition to the country, he also deliberately brought his younger brother Saifei to Europe, all of which was paving the way for himself. It can't be said that he doesn't love himself, it's just that the way he loves himself is a little special. It's okay to complain and complain about it, but it's unlikely that he really wants him to go to war with his father.

"Don't worry, the parliamentarians are not stupid, not to mention whether a war with the old majesty will put the empire in danger of splitting, in the navy alone, the royal navy may not be able to beat the warships brought by the old majesty. Taking such a big risk to fight against the founding emperor of the empire requires a lot of clarification. Until you have calculated the strength of both sides, even if you advocate for war with all your might, the council will not approve it. Yi Yi shook his head and rejected Hong Jinhe's assumption in a very positive tone.

"The Royal Navy can't beat it! Why? Did he bring back a lot of battleships? Although Hong Jinhe didn't want to fight his father, he also didn't want to hear the argument that the Imperial Royal Navy was not as skilled as others.

The Jinhe Empire started with the sea, whether it was in the period of Bo Jiao's administration or Yiyi's administration, the energy and financial resources invested in naval construction were the largest, and this was the consensus of everyone in the country, and no one ever said anything about reducing the naval budget. The Royal Navy has always been the most powerful maritime armed force in the world at present, I have never heard of any other navy stronger than the Royal Navy, and the Empire cannot accept this situation, this is the rhythm of the country's demise.

"Not much, the letter is not very clear, His Majesty only brought back twenty-one warships, with more than 2,000 personnel, and even the scale of our northern detachment is not comparable. However, I have seen the warship they came to deliver the letter, although I don't know much about naval warfare, but after all, I have also studied in the navigation school, and I think the evaluation and prediction made by Commander Ou on it is relatively accurate. ”

"This battleship is completely different from our warships, with a slender hull, a very low freeboard, all schooners, fast speed and nimble steering, which are very similar to the Americas of Rome. According to Commander Ou's judgment, this kind of battleship is probably a newer generation of warships made by Wen Xiaoqi and His Old Majesty, but its naval guns are not visible. But according to logical calculations, Wen Xiaoqi disappeared with Qi Zu, and since Wen Xiaoqi's new ship was built, Qi Zu had no reason not to build a new cannon. So the final conclusion is that the power of this new ship and new cannon should not be worse than our new Seawolf class, and it is likely to be much stronger. His Majesty is an undefeated god of war at sea, and he has very high requirements for warships and naval guns. "Yi Yi didn't just get the letter back, he had already met with Commander Ou on the battery at the mouth of the river, and made a preliminary assessment of the strange-looking battleship, and came to a general conclusion.

"But they only have more than twenty ships, and if we transfer back the detachments in the Arabian Sea and Cape Town, it will be more than a dozen to one, and ten Seawolf-class ships can't beat one? And that's not even counting our armed cargo ships. "Hong Jinhe is no stranger to naval warfare, and there are few people in the entire imperial government who do not understand naval warfare, because the vast majority of people have graduated from navigation schools, even if the majors are different, but navigation must be learned, but the emphasis is different.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Your Majesty may have forgotten the battle of fame of the old Majesty. The Mongol Empire had more than twenty times as many warships as we did, and it was not finally overwhelmed by the Royal Navy. On the issue of naval warfare, even if Vice Minister Kong and Mayor Bojiao are re-recruited back to the Royal Navy, Ci Mercy and Weng Ya are still there, and they may not dare to deal with His Majesty on the sea. It is true that they are the people who know the sea the most in the empire, but all their skills are taught by the old majesty, and it is not clear what the old majesty has not taught in his hands. Moreover, His Majesty has never suffered a defeat on the sea, nor has he suffered any major losses, and if he is not completely sure, he will not come back with such a few warships. ”

"I have also consulted Commander Ou on this question, and the answer he gave was more pessimistic than mine. He believed that the Royal Navy would not have the slightest initiative if it were to deal with that kind of ship. When to fight, when to stop, where to fight, and in what weather, it is all up to the other side to decide, because they are faster than our boats. Even if we occupy all the ports and only defend them in the near sea, it will be of no practical significance. Those ships will cut off our commercial shipping lanes and force our fleet to come out and fight it. The Royal Navy is not afraid of frontal combat, it is afraid that they will fight and run, and they will come out to harass from time to time. The battlefield is in our territory, we can't afford to drag it out, and there is no possibility of taking advantage, especially in the face of the fleet commanded by His Majesty, who is the best at this mode of operation. Yi Yi once again rejected Hong Jinhe's hypothesis, because he also thought about this problem and consulted professionals in advance, and the conclusion he came to was not optimistic.

“…… Alas...... I really want to find someone to beat me up, it's so embarrassing! Okay, let's talk, but this time I'll have to go in person, and no one will stop me! Hong Jinhe didn't say anything, Yi Yi said it was very reasonable, when it came to naval warfare, his father said that it was second, and no one dared to be the first, which was recognized. And when his father was fighting, he was known for his viciousness and lack of morality, and this matter was certainly not a temporary idea, when I remembered that when he calculated people, he often started digging holes ten years ago, and his heart couldn't help but feel weak, and he couldn't raise too much fighting spirit.

"Don't worry, no one will stop you, the letter clearly said that you, me, and the speaker must be present, and you have to add a Wen Hao. We can't calculate the old majesty in the naval battle, and don't try to fool him in the negotiations, so we almost called Justice Rong. Yi Yi picked up the letters again and shook them.

"Will he detain us? If the Emperor, Prime Minister, and Speaker of the Parliament are gone, it will inevitably cause quite a commotion. In addition, I don't quite understand, why did he ask Wen Hao to be brought by name, could it be that Wen Hao has something to do with this matter? Hong Jinhe took the letter and looked carefully at the negotiation list on it, a little worried.

"There is no such possibility, the rules of the empire, Your Majesty knows better than us, unless the government and parliament are all in one pot, and the main personnel of the two parties must be brought in, otherwise everyone is the same. The Speaker will elect a new one in less than an hour, and the Prime Minister will not last more than a day, except that your Emperor's heir is not yet easy to find. But don't forget, you also have a sister, and there is no rule in Imperial law that you can't have an empress. Don't worry, Your Majesty is not that kind of person, although he seems to be very willful, he is actually the most disciplined person, but these rules have to be approved by him. I will first go to the ministers to discuss it, in any case, the operation to the north should be slowed down for a while, I hope that His Majesty will not be too difficult for us, and we must give the imperial government a reason for an armistice. As for Wen Hao, who knows, His Majesty used to hate this person very much, whether the two of them were acting for others to see, I can't guess, let's talk about it after talking. On this issue, Yi Yi didn't have a very good way, and he couldn't imagine how Hong Tao would talk, so he could only take one step first and then look at the next step.
