The purpose of Peters' visit to Da Liang this time is very simple, that is, to ask for an official.

In his opinion, the Marquis of Whitehead established the Duchy of Marcellus this time, and it was really beautiful. Taking retreat as advance, it seems that it is handed over to power, but in fact it retreats to remote command behind the scenes.

The Socialist Party has earned itself political capital on the issue of hosting refugees. In Saroyan, both citizens and refugees are very fond of this new party. The party constitution they put forward was also very much to the appetite of the Marcellus people. Saroyan is the heart and weather vane of Marcellus, and whoever Saroyan supports will have a greater chance of winning in future elections.

When a new parliament is formed, the old parliament becomes a thing of the past. When the whole of Marcellus talks about peace, whoever insists on fighting again is the enemy of the whole of Marcellus.

If Peters wants to continue his political career, he must find another way as soon as possible. He was well aware that he would not get what he wanted at the peace conference, but at the Elysée Avenue he could.

Before coming, Peters prepared a lot of rhetoric and imagined what kind of powerful position he could get, but he didn't expect that Young Master Liang would let him become the leader of the Socialist Party as soon as he opened his mouth.

Peters asked in disbelief, "Young Master Liang, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Da Liang said: "I have something to joke with you. The Marquess of Whitehead wanted to be the Grand Duke of Marcellus, and the Whitehead family nominally owned the whole of Marcellus, but would not manipulate Parliament.

Marcellus would achieve true democracy.

I admire the Marquis of Whitehead. He just wanted to show the Flominck Empire that kings and democracy could coexist. He did not betray his country, he was a great man who saved the Frominque Empire. ”

Da Liang's words made Peters' eyebrows jump. He really didn't expect the Marquis of Whitehead to be such a person, and people had the impression that this iron-fisted governor was a very power-hungry conspirator. It is hard to imagine that the delegation of power to the parliament that he promised is really giving power to the parliament.

This is definitely a feat that can be remembered with history, and its significance is no less than the Saroyan incident he launched.

It took a long time for Speaker Peters to be convinced: "The heart of Lord Marquis is really admirable, he is a great man. ”

The big nod said, "Yes, even I despise the Marquis." But since the Marquis of Whitehead was not going to be a dictator, there should be a capable man to lead the Socialists and lead the Duchy of Marcellus.

You were the Speaker of the Provincial Council of Marcellus, and you did a very good job. And importantly, we are acquaintances, our own people.

I am not as great as the Marquis of Whitehead, and I ask the Duchy of Marcellus to serve me.

Can you do it? ”

Speaker Peters replied without hesitation, "I can do it." ”

The Doge's Palace of Marcellus at night is very quiet.

The Marcellus peace talks are taking place in Saroyan. The deputies of the Old Parliament, the Provisional Parliament led by the Socialists, and the Empire were arguing for the future of Marcellus, and the proceedings were making great strides towards the establishment of the Duchy of Marcellus.

However, the Wehrmacht was still in the hands of the Marquis of Whitehead, and almost everyone believed that the Marquis of Whitehead would not really hand over power, and that he would become the dictator behind Marcellus. As a result, many people came to visit the future master of Marcellus these days, but they were all refused to be received by the governor.

Officials and staff members of the Governor's Office are gradually being dismantled and transferred, and most of the documents are being sealed and ready for transfer to Parliament.

The Marquis of Whitehead sat in his study, with no light on, and here he was accustomed to look out the window in the dark, watching the various people who came and went outside the door of the Doge's House, and analysing what they wanted from him. Only this time, he was looking at the bright starry sky outside.

The door opened, and Anne walked in from the outside. She turned on the light in the room, walked gently to her father's side, and whispered, "I heard some of your decisions from Reed, and I saw what you were doing. Your style of doing things is still beyond everyone's expectations, even my ...... You were also not expected to relinquish power.

I've always thought that you are very fond of power. ”

The Marquis of Whitehead sat Anne beside him and said in a rare amiable tone: "I do love power very much, and it feels like an addiction that one cannot refuse the temptation at all."

But to gain power, you have to make sacrifices.

In order to protect my family, I had to ignore my feelings. In order to protect the family, I had to put my beloved daughter through the most brutal training.

It's all about getting a higher status, getting more power. I used to think that if I had enough power, I could change the empire and free him from the quagmire of decay. But...... It's too hard, it's too hard......

How can the nobles, who are still intoxicated by the sunset of the empire, see that the graves under their feet have been dug?

The Duchy of Marcellus was the last thing I did for the Empire. When the Empire reaches its final mile, it has at least one other path to choose from...... The Whitehead family remains loyal for millennia, and we guard this outlet for Your Majesty. ”

The Marquis's words made Anne awe-inspired. When her father announced that he was going to establish the Duchy of Marcellus, she thought that his father had really betrayed the Empire, and now she realized that she was wrong to blame him.

Betrayal is a stain that the nobility can never erase, and Anne's life is not good these days, and she said from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you, father. ”

The Marquis said, "Don't think that the Whitehead family can enjoy it without being involved in politics. With the Imperial Navy, you can't go back. Then go and report to Young Master Liang......

It's so naïve to have a fight with a bunch of low-level politicians in Marcellus, it's like a child's play.

In the future, the journey of the Whitehead family is an interstellar sea. ”

It was not all his noble sentiments that made the Marquis of Whitehead willingly give up power. When he learned from Da Liang that there was a Star Alliance, and that the Star Alliance's control range was so large that it needed to be counted in 10,000 light years, the thing he was fighting for in Marcellus suddenly became boring.

What if you can be the emperor? The land that rules in front of the universe does not even count as dust and sand.

The Marquis of Whitehead finally knew why Young Master Liang had a feeling of being out of the world, and he felt that what he had done before was a child's trick.

After returning from Élysée Avenue, the Marquis of Whitehead had a new impetus to look up at the sky. He ended his duty to the Empire with a full stop, and began to think about how to engrave the name of the Whitehead family on the starry sky.
