And the leaderless nobles soon elected a new spokesman, Duke Widson.

The Duke of Widson is the leader of the second largest party in the aristocratic council and the most serious contender for the next prime minister, and naturally a powerful duke, with a territory spanning several resource-rich galaxies, and a private army that is said to have an entire fleet of large aircraft carriers.

And the fleet establishment of the Greedy Wolf Empire is similar to that of the Double-headed Eagle Federation, a large aircraft carrier fleet is composed of ten conventional aircraft carrier formations, and the number of ships of all kinds together is more than 100,000!

Although the combat effectiveness of a fleet cannot be measured by quantity alone, the fact that he can afford to raise such a large fleet as a private soldier is enough to show how rich this Duke of Widson is.

And with money and soldiers in his hands, this Duke of Widson is naturally full of confidence. Even if he knew that the emperor was prepared this time, he was not afraid at all, and even had the leisure to chat and laugh with a few henchmen and sit and watch the Grand Duke of Swancastle and several horse pawns sent out by him quarrel with each other over some trivial matters.

"Archduke Ketan is still old." Wei Desen sneered: "How can it be planted so easily." ”

"It's just, who would have thought that old man would be so useless." Immediately, one of the henchmen chimed in with a shy smile: "If you want me to say that we shouldn't ally with those aliens, or we wouldn't have made so many moths." ”

Duke Widson said lightly: "This alliance still has to be concluded, but it must be approved by a full vote of our House of Lords, otherwise it will not be reasonable." ”

"Yes, yes, the Duke said yes."

Suddenly, a group of reporters with cameras rushed in and began to set up machines at a specific location.

Duke Widson frowned and pouted, "Go and ask those people what they are here for." ”

Immediately, a henchman went to inquire, and then quickly went back to report the reason.

"The Emperor is going to make a pre-war declaration live in the House of Lords?" Duke Widson furrowed his brows, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The first thought that arose in my heart was that this matter must be stirred up, and the emperor must not be allowed to wipe away a wave of prestige in the House of Lords, otherwise everyone will have a hard time in the future.

Duke Widson immediately ordered a few of his henchmen to find other veteran nobles.

Soon, a group of veteran nobles gathered in a secret room to discuss countermeasures, but everyone discussed for a long time and failed to come up with a good plan.

After all, the card played by the emperor this time was an upright conspiracy, so that the nobles could not find any reason to oppose it.

For a while, several old nobles were worried.

"The emperor is playing too hard, who is giving him advice?"

"Knock off the Grand Duke of Gitan and replace the royalists, followed by another combination of punches...... It seems that we have all underestimated our Majesty. ”

"Now is not the time to sigh, hurry up and think of a way to deal with it. If the emperor really lets us sweep away a wave of popular support on our territory, how will we old guys raise our heads in the future. ”

"Why don't we simply use the danger of war as an excuse to jointly dissuade the emperor from driving the expedition in person?"

"It's not proper, the royal driver has already said it, if we jump out to dissuade at this time, we will only become a traitor."

"Are we not going to do anything?"

"Oh, if the Holy Driver suddenly encounters an accident in the pro-expedition......"

Several old guys made eye contact, and the cold light was frequent.

Duke Widson squinted and sneered: "This matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, and it needs to be considered in the long run......

"Dodo." Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door of the secret room, which immediately made several people inside frown.

"Come in." Duke Widson raised his glass, and the others were also drinking, smoking, as if it were just an ordinary aristocratic gathering.

The door was pushed open, and one of his henchmen walked briskly over to Duke Widson and whispered a word.

Duke Widson was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter with a brow.

"Why is the Duke laughing?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a godsend." Duke Widson sneered: "Maybe things don't have to go any further." ”

"Oh? What a good opportunity? Could it be that the situation of the battle has changed? ”

Duke Widson smiled, "Archduke Nelson's grandson has just been killed. ”

Several old nobles were confused when they heard this, and Archduke Nelson naturally recognized him, it was the commander-in-chief and generalissimo of the First Fleet of the Empire. Holding one of the most powerful fleets in the empire, it is a pity that the Grand Duke has always pursued a policy of neutrality and never mixed with the struggle between the emperor and the nobles.

Moreover, the family of this grand duke has a well-known saying, that is, the Nelson family is only loyal to the emperor, and I will be loyal to whoever is the emperor!

An old nobleman frowned and said, "Nelson's old fellow has more than a dozen grandchildren, what's the fuss about dying one?" Could it be that it was the royalists who killed him? ”

Duke Weidesen shook his head slightly and smiled: "It's not the emperor's person, it's the personal guard of the envoy of the Star Spirit Clan, I heard that it was because of jealousy that he caused a death, and now the murderer has taken refuge in the state guesthouse." ”

All of you here are human spirits, and it is a basic skill to use the topic to play. Immediately, a few people present directly thought of several bad strategies, and then a few old guys came up with a clever plan, which would definitely make the emperor's trip to the House of Lords steal chickens and rice.

After deciding on the plan, Duke Weidesen got up with a smile on his face and said, "Everyone, let's go together to greet Your Majesty's holy car, so as not to let outsiders think that we old guys don't understand the rules." ”

"Hahaha, let's go."

When Murong Feng came to the House of Lords with the emperor's holy car, he saw a large group of noble lords standing at the door to greet the holy car.

"Greetings to the Holy Driver!" Immediately, everyone bowed to the shrine, even if they hated each other to death, but they had to do enough work on the surface and not fall into their mouths.

Emperor Sedum bowed slightly: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, so let's be flat." ”

The nobles got up and retreated to the sides, welcoming the emperor into the House of Lords.

The aristocratic council hall is like a lavish opera hall, with everything but no stage.

Everyone already knew that Emperor Sedum was coming, so after waiting for the emperor to take the throne, everyone took their seats and made a posture of listening to the hadith.

Murong Feng, as a special envoy, was specially arranged in the first row, sitting with the dukes and earls.

Although the few old guys next to him secretly had a bad stomach, they were very enthusiastic about Murong Feng on the surface, after all, this Star Spirit Clan envoy was the most important part of their next plan.

Facing the warm greetings of the nobles, Murong Feng also smiled back one by one. I can't find fault with either the etiquette or the posture.

After everyone was seated, Emperor Sedum nodded slightly at the old manager beside him, and the national live broadcast immediately began.

For a time, the whole country, regardless of which TV station, broadcast it as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty has begun." The old manager reminded quietly.

Emperor Sedum walked to the podium with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "My subjects, you must have known that the empire has encountered the greatest crisis in history, and it is a great crisis of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species. ”

"Because the enemy we are facing this time is no longer our kind or other civilized races, but the most ferocious and barbaric Zerg in the universe."

"In the eyes of those bugs, we are just food, so there is no possibility of peace between us at all, only one side is completely exterminated."

"Therefore, I hereby call on the whole country to mobilize together to resist the invasion of the Zerg!"

The audience immediately applauded.

And the people watching the live broadcast are also cheering.

Emperor Sedum paused for a moment, and waited until the applause subsided before he continued: "Presumably, many subjects still don't know how terrible those bugs are, and even think that those bugs are tens of thousands of light years away and can't kill them at your doorstep. ”

"But what I'm telling you is that the worms have reached your doorstep with their minions!"

Emperor Sedum waved his hand, and immediately a huge map of the imperial stars was projected on the podium.

Nearly one-fifth of the entire star map is dyed red!

There was an immediate uproar throughout the country, and many people really did not expect that the situation had deteriorated to such an extent.

Duke Widson, who was sitting in the first row, couldn't help frowning, feeling that the emperor had gone too far, after all, it was too much, once those ordinary civilians were really frightened, it would inevitably have the opposite effect, and maybe it would cause a national riot, which no one wanted to see.

But at this time, it was being broadcast live across the country, and he couldn't interrupt it soundly, so he could only watch quietly, and several old nobles sitting next to him frequently glanced at him.

Duke Widson shook his head slightly, signaling that the time had not yet come.

At this time, I saw Emperor Sedum wave his big hand again, and the star map continued to zoom in until it was fixed in a small galaxy, the Celtic Baron Galaxy.

"The Celtic Baron Galaxy." Emperor Sedum pointed to the star field that had been dyed half red, and said in a deep voice: "I believe that many subjects are unfamiliar with this galaxy, but it is precisely this small galaxy that is an important gateway to protect the heart of our empire, but now it is being attacked by the Zerg army. ”

For a while, countless civilians across the country raised their hearts, and finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and a panic could not help spread......

Suddenly, I heard Emperor Sedum say in a loud voice: "So I have decided to personally conquer the Celtic Baron Galaxy, personally guard the country, and live and die with the empire!" ”

"Long live the Holy One!! Immediately, members of the royalist faction stood up and shouted, and countless people responded.

For a time, the entire House of Lords, whether they wanted it or not, all stood up and shouted long live.

And the people who were infected by the atmosphere also shouted Long live Your Majesty, and even many hot-blooded young people wanted to prepare to join the army to defend their families and the country.

Seeing that the general trend had been achieved, Emperor Sedum smiled slightly, clenched his fists and raised his fists and said excitedly: "This time, I will not only defeat these Zerg, but also let them know that our Greedy Wolf Empire is not easy to mess with. So I hereby implore the House of Lords to activate the War Bill immediately, and unite all forces to deal a severe blow to those bugs! ”

Immediately, there was thunderous applause in the parliament chamber, and the royalist members headed by Russol were even louder in approval.

But the faces of the old nobles were very unsightly.

Because the first article of the "War Act" is that when the empire encounters a foreign invasion, the emperor will be given the supreme command in wartime, and can mobilize noble private soldiers to participate in the war to jointly resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

But the bill has only been voted on once since it was enacted, and that was not long after the empire was founded. At that time, the greedy wolf empire was not as overlord as it is now, at most it was a separatist force.

Naturally, when encountering an external enemy, a strong leader is needed to lead everyone out of the predicament.

But since the greedy wolf empire gradually became a hegemon, people's hearts have changed.

After all, it is not easy for everyone to save this little belongings, so how can they easily hand it over? The point is, once you hand over the military power, what if they don't return it to you?

As a result, the bill has been passed only once since its founding, and it has been mentioned many times since then, but it has never been voted on again.

Now the emperor suddenly brought out this bill in front of the national audience, making it clear that he was forcing the nobles to pass this bill. Otherwise, whoever dares to pop out half a word at this moment will probably be scolded as a traitor and thief by the people of the whole country in half a day.

The faces of several old nobles were as black as the bottom of a pot for a while, and they didn't expect that the emperor's methods were so tough, and he was completely roasting them on the fire.

The point is that the House of Lords is not monolithic, not to mention the royalist party headed by Russol, the noble council alone is divided into dozens of parties, large and small. It is even more difficult to form a unified opinion in a short period of time and push back the emperor's proposal than to ascend to the sky.

Fortunately...... They just kept a hand, and now it's finally coming in handy!

Duke Widson narrowed his cold eyes and glanced to the side, and immediately nodded knowingly and quickly left the council hall.

"Then let's vote now!" Emperor Sedum didn't give the nobles much time to come back to their senses at all, looked around at everyone and calmly asked, "Who is in favor?" Who is against? ”

The hands are immediately falling in the huge council hall.

The royalist faction, led by Russol, immediately voted in favor, and the big screen immediately showed one item in favor: 32 votes!

Someone took the lead, and the wall grass and some small nobles among the nobles also voted in favor, so that the number of votes directly exceeded 100.

And the negative vote is still 0

After all, in this case, who would dare to vote against it in front of the national audience?

Gradually, many nobles saw that the general situation seemed to be decided, and the few in the front row did not seem to object, so they all voted in favor. Even if you are reluctant, at least you can brush your face in the national audience.

And by this time the number of votes in favor had already reached: 311 votes!

More than half!

According to the parliamentary voting law, a resolution is passed once it receives more than two-thirds of the votes in favor.

Emperor Sedum didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he couldn't help but be in a good mood and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Your Majesty!! You're going to have to call the shots for me!! Suddenly, a terrible howl resounded throughout the council hall, leaving everyone stunned! Fupin Chinese
