"For Austin!"

The ministers in the Great Hall raised their fists and shouted with Austin VII.

Even the mentally exhausted and elderly Minister of State, Old Bude, raised his right fist at this time, his eyes lit up, and he shouted with full anger.

After a long while, Austin VII withdrew his right fist and made a "quiet" gesture, and the hall gradually fell silent.

"A war with the Ryan Empire is inevitable! Please lords and generals, go back and do a good job of the relevant work, and explain the cause and effect to our subjects! ”

"To make our people! Know that even with a formidable enemy looming, our Austin Empire's armies are fearless! Take the initiative! ”

"To make our warriors! Knowing this stop is to guard our family! It's to guard our homeland! This time, though, it's the initiative! But it's a defense battle! ”

Austin VII paused, glancing at the ministers below.

"As for how to explain to the people in the territory and the warriors below, I believe that I don't need to teach you this kind of thing." Austin VII said.

"Be sure to complete all combat readiness within a month! A month later! Unite with the Iteo Empire to meet the army of the Ryan Empire! Austin VII said.

This sentence is the foreshadowing of today's regular meeting, and the rest is purely just to set off the atmosphere.

Sometimes, the same arrangement of work, setting off the atmosphere, and inciting emotions can play a special role.

Not only can it make the people below work willingly, but it can also improve morale!

It was as if at this time, Austin VII had just announced the order to complete the battle, and someone immediately stood up.

"Me! Kress, the commander of the Noah City Guard, is willing to join the battle as the vanguard! A stout general knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice.

In this kind of long-range combat, there will definitely be an order of troops that will go out one after another, and the vanguard mentioned here certainly refers to the first batch of troops to rush to the battlefield.

"Me! Borg, the commander of the garrison of the city guard of Gandau City, is willing to participate in the battle as a vanguard! The young general of the silver armor knelt down on one knee again, and the battle intent in his eyes was undisguised!

"Me! Commander of the city of Bujilu ......"

All of a sudden, the top of the hall fell to their knees, especially some young generals, who were full of enthusiasm and even suffocated their faces!

Austin VII looked around at the kneeling generals in the hall and looked up and laughed.

"Hahahaha!"

"Good! In our Austin Empire, none of them are a bad seed! Austin VII laughed.

"But...... As for the decision of the vanguard and the choice of generals, Prince Riel will personally lead the team to take the position of marshal at that time! The matter of the point will of course be decided by Prince Riel at that time! ”

"That's it! That's the end of today's regular meeting! Let's go and prepare! Austin VII waved his hand and called the meeting to adjourn.

……

Outside the main hall, the ministers whispered in groups, as if discussing the impending war. Walk out of the main hall and leave together.

Borg, the young general in silver armor, slowly walked behind the ministers with his arms in his arms for the elderly Minister of State, Bud Sr.

Walking out of the palace, walk around a corner to a courtyard where the home of the Minister of State, Boud Sr.

Borg, the young general of the silver armor, helped the elderly Minister of State Old Bud back to his home, and only then did he dare to ask questions in a whisper.

"Why don't any of you, uncle, speak out against this war? Maybe the Lane Empire just wants to gather forces against those small kingdoms? The intention of dealing with them has not yet been clarified, not necessarily against our Austin Empire, why should we take the initiative to provoke them? Attacking rashly is not a sane decision for our Austin Empire. The young general of the silver armor asked suspiciously.

In fact, it is not only Borg who has this question, but many people at the regular meeting also have this question.

Even if Austin VII can come up with information to prove that the strength of the Lane Empire is indeed so strong, these cannot prove that the Lane Empire has gathered such a strong force to attack Austin!

"Huh...... Silly boy......" Old Bud slowly opened his half-closed eyes and chuckled.

"Did you see Gna at today's meeting?" Bud sat in his rocking chair and chuckled as he looked at his nephew in front of him.

"Chancellor of the Exchequer Gna? Seeing ......" Borg immediately responded, after all, they are all generals who are not low in cultivation, and they still have this memory. At the regular meeting just after the meeting, he still recognized some of the ministers at the meeting.

"You noticed Gnar was there, but did you...... Did Gerner speak? Old Bud chuckled.

"Like...... No......" Borg replied after a moment's thought.

"Gnar is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and every Chancellor of the Exchequer is like his own wallet. Starting a war also means increasing military spending, money for weapons and equipment, money for food and grass, and compensation for the families of fallen soldiers, etc., a lot of places to spend money, if it were normal, that guy would have jumped up and been the first to oppose it. Old Bud laughed.

"The person who should be opposed the most, but did not say a word from beginning to end, shows a problem." Bud looked at his nephew, who was squatting in front of him, looking like he was listening attentively, and smiled.

"It's very simple, you and I can guess that the first person to vigorously oppose the war will be the Minister of Finance, and of course His Majesty our Emperor knows it."

"Gnar didn't say anything from beginning to end, of course, because someone had taken care of him ahead of time."

"Of course, the only one who has the strength to deal with Gna and will do so is our Emperor Majesty."

"Do you understand?" After Old Bud finished speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at his nephew who was crouching in front of him.

Although Old Bud is very old, and his eyes are already very cloudy, they seem to be shining at this time!

"Uncle, do you mean...... Behind this is the actions of His Majesty the Emperor? Because His Majesty the Emperor really wants to start this war, he will persuade the Minister of Finance in advance, the biggest obstacle? Borg thought for a moment before he spoke.

"That's right, since His Majesty the Emperor wants to start a war, then everything else that comes out is just a reason to start a war. Hindering His Majesty at this time is just to increase His Majesty's workload, so that he can persuade one more person like Gna. ”

"Your Majesty has already decided to start this war, and of course we, the courtiers, cannot influence Your Majesty's decision. It is certainly useless to speak out against it at this time. Instead of being useful, it will be perceived as raising the bar. ”

"Your Majesty is trying to convince those who oppose it, and this is simply adding trouble to him. Not only did it have no effect, but it also disgusted His Majesty, isn't it a thankless task. Old Bud laughed.

"Besides, our Emperor His Majesty, of course, will not be a stupid person, do you think that the question of military strength and national strength you raised, His Majesty Austin VII did not think of it? Didn't see it? ”

"Silly boy! His Majesty the Emperor has a lot more to think about than you think! Since all these things have been considered, and a war is to be waged, it must be profitable or a last resort. ”

"For an empire, His Majesty the Emperor is undoubtedly the leader, and what we have to do is to believe in our leader. When Austin I declared war on the strongest country on the mainland, didn't the generals around him also not understand? ”

"The difficulty is Austin I, who will explain it to you one by one before implementing a decision?" For this nephew, Old Bud was very patient, and gave an example to explain.

The Secretary of State explained in such detail, and Borg gradually understood the reasoning.

"That'...... Uncle...... I questioned what I said just now, isn't it 'adding chaos' to His Majesty the Seventh? Borg, recalling the morning meeting, said with some humility.

He's not alone, after all! If he makes a mistake, he will even bring disaster to the uncle in front of him!

But Old Bud didn't blame him, but slowly reached out and touched his head.

"Silly boy...... Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be silly......"
