Chapter 684: Assassin
The evaluation of the quality of politicians is in the present era, because when their reputation is discredited, that is, at the end of their political life, the result of excessive pursuit of the interests of "the world" is the lack of self, and most of the time the opinion of the majority vote is not the truth, but the most correct one in the eyes of the world.
Therefore, politicians who are supported by public opinion are controlled by public opinion, even if they are high-level politicians, the longer they hold power, the better they are to follow the crowd, and what kind of results they can make in the end is actually not their own level and ability, but only depends on whether the god of luck favors them.
The quality of a politician will depend on a few years or decades, and when his successor and the successor of the successor do not do a good job, people will think of their predecessors, scolding "this shit-like day" while drunkenly reminiscing about the past with their old friends of the same era.
With the worse days and the stupid new leader as a comparison, I feel that the days are getting more and more difficult, people will be surprised to find that the original leader actually did a good job, and the life of the incessant complaining and scolding in the past can be called the golden age, the stupid old man who did how much wrong and how much did he did it well, and now looking back, the seeds he planted back then have sprouted, and those seemingly stupid practices have benefited the people after many years, and his successors have beautiful sounding plans and big goals, One hundred years later, it is still a plan and a goal.
And in addition to politicians, politicians, there is another kind of people.
They themselves don't know why they have become leaders, and the motivation for them to climb up is not even for themselves.
ββ¦β¦ The country is going to be finished, the people are not living, I must expel foreign enemies and return my rivers and mountains. β
"If this continues, our living space will become smaller and smaller. That's not going to work......."
ββ¦β¦ To work hard for the rise of the nation, we want foreign races to learn from their strengths......"
Most of those who think too much and are incapable are on the road to death, but there are always people who are gifted with ideals that seem ridiculous, naΓ―ve, and unattainable to others. In the end, they persevered all the way, and they walked to the top as if blessed by God, and did things that others would never dare to think of in their lives.
Such people can eventually leave traces in history, or to be precise, they make history, which is itself a part of history, and if you must find a title, "historical figures" themselves may be the most appropriate annotation.
But look the other way around. Their own fates are on the opposite footing.
Politicians are always the ones who make the most money, and the other side of their lack of assertiveness is that anyone can pay the price to let them speak, and they who always choose the winner, before complete defeat, I am afraid that they will always stand at the top of the whole society and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Their advantages and disadvantages can be seen by contemporary people. The winner in the endless power infighting is naturally the winner.
And the fate of politicians is not the same. But doing more also means making a lot of mistakes, their honor and scolding continue, and the final result may be good or bad, but when necessary, they will also make their own choices. I am afraid that it will ruin my future.
Their achievements will be discovered by posterity, either gratefully, or angry, at least. Left a trace.
And historical figures are even more extreme, they invest a lot and pay a lot, but the benefits are not necessarily large, and they often don't even get a good death, Yue Fei, Joan of Arc, Shang Ying, etc., their great achievements are praised, but they often fall before the dawn, or it is a tragedy in itself.
They will become history, will become the target of future generations, will also cause countless sighs, and even become the material of the creator, and the essential difference between them and the first two is that they will not be forgotten by people until the history of that nation and race is severed.
The continent of Ash is very cruel, cruel to make centralized politics the mainstream, cruel to let the efficiency brought by power be better than everything, and the survival soil of politicians is often limited to those specific countries.
Heroes emerge in troubled times, and years of war have made heroes and heroes emerge in endlessly, but there are not many who can really leave traces in history, and what they have in common is probably to forget themselves for a certain purpose.
Looking at Gagalore's background, I thought of acquaintances from the past, Ayer, Esso, Oros, and Estrada, all of whom had different positions and conflicts of interest with each other, but some things were the same.
They may still be gone, but their ideals and deeds are still in this world, affecting the future direction of this world, and this old fox who saw through everything but chose to give up seems to have changed the future in his own way.
The old fox, who had just spoken about his political opinions, had become a secular businessman in the blink of an eye, without a trace of anxiety, and devoted himself to his new work, which made me feel more and more that I had underestimated Gagalore in front of me.
".......Of course you underestimated him, he easily fooled you, didn't you want to trouble him for selling military supplies privately? He said these two words, and you forgot? β
Heloise's words stunned me, yes, no matter what the reason, it is definitely not right to sell military supplies privately, the supplies issued by the Lan Alliance are for you to prepare for war, even if you don't need it, you should return it to the United Military Department, what does it mean to sell privately, learn from you to play like this, what to do with military discipline.
"Forget it, it's a matter of the Combined Military Department anyway, what do I do with meddlers."
However, looking at the hot appearance, I also don't care a little.
In a sense, after the loss of the only emperor, the elven kingdom of the clan system and the elder system is more and more rich in treacherous and cunning politicians, and even the increasingly popular parliamentarian and parliamentary system is also the "invention" of the elves.
In a sense, the elven kingdom that needs the support of public opinion and prestige not only has a restraint mechanism such as the House of Elders, but also the existence of a class with clan interests, and the royal power has been repeatedly restricted, and the king must first get the support of a series of domestic bigwigs if he wants to do something, which is indeed in line with my criteria for politicians.
I won't say that politicians are born short-sighted or anything nonsense, but the elven elders are always refreshing my lower limits and challenging my sanity.
ββ¦β¦ Which elves have a connection to the Templar Church? Even the Holy Alliance plan to restrain the Lan Alliance was proposed by them? β
The secret letter signed by Su Anna was in my hand, but the sharp-eared messenger in front of me was shivering, the inexplicable cold froze the floor of the tent, the cold wind was just a sign of anger, I didn't question the authenticity of the information, but I really couldn't assess the lower limit of the group of moon elves.
Originally, I just thought that the Northland Moon Elves would be eager to get rid of the jurisdiction of the Lan Alliance, and they would be eager to be independent, but I didn't expect them to directly "collaborate with the enemy", but logically, this possibility does exist, and it is nothing more than an extension of the foreign policy of "distant friendship and close attack", since they want to get rid of the control of the Lan Alliance, it seems natural for them to take refuge in the most powerful Templar Church in this plane under the premise that the elven gods cannot count on it.
And once the Holy Alliance that constrained the Lan Alliance was established, the Lan League naturally had to devote its energy to the troubles of the south, which also reduced the pressure on them.
"They, there is a plan ......"
The middle-aged elf messenger seemed to be a little hesitant to speak, it seems that some things are worried that the letter will be intercepted and written, and it will be conveyed directly by the messenger.
I snapped my fingers, the dead cat superimposed anti-detection spells on the tent, and I approached the courier.
He looked left and right, his eyes full of uneasiness, but I became more and more interested in the information that was transmitted, what made it so difficult to speak.
ββ¦β¦ They were preparing to assassinate Empress Heloise and had even sent assassins, and other than that, they, they ......"
Hearing this, I was stunned, and then, I thought it was funny, Heloise is now my magic pet, I don't die, she won't die, what's the point of assassinating her.
But the messenger did not finish his words, and he looked behind me with a frightened face and cried out.
ββ¦β¦ They also intend to assassinate you! β
I turned my head suddenly, the sword was already unsheathed, but there was no one behind it, only the open space shrieked by the bright moonlight, and the next moment, my back was inexplicably cold.
Under the gaze of the moonlight, the messenger who looked honest and honest rushed up, and the blue dagger was full of deadly toxins!
It turned out that he was the Assassin. (To be continued.) )
