Chapter 11: The Red Dragon
Consul Gu cleaned up the dust on his suit, picked up the mobile phone on the call, and weighed whether to communicate with the diplomats on the country's side first.
"Do you really believe their words, Lord Earl?" The captain of the law enforcement team came to Checia's side and asked.
"It should be true, they come from a country that is completely foreign to us." Cecia said.
"But the weapons used in this country are muskets, toys that even your knights can't kill."
The captain of the law enforcement team handed over the pistol seized from the embassy to Count Cecia.
"Is it really necessary for you to be afraid of a country that uses this thing as a weapon, Lord Earl?"
Because of the existence of supernatural powers, muskets are in this world a 'toy weapon for civilians'.
It is impossible to use a musket to injure a transcendent who can harness the power of the dragon vein on the battlefield, unless the person who wields the musket is also an extraordinary.
"Mr. Pines, do you know what was invented with the musket?"
Count Cecia fiddled with his fingertips with the delicately crafted pistol in his hand, the power of which Beretta was indeed a toy for Cecia.
But the question is... She knows the history of weapons of war, and has never only developed weapons that 'kill a person'.
"Field artillery?" The captain of the law enforcement team was also a veteran.
The development of muskets did not have a negative impact on the war in this world, but only made civilian soldiers die a little faster.
There is still a place for field artillery and heavy machine guns on the battlefields of this world.
"It's... Their muskets have all evolved to this point, but what about their field artillery? ”
Count Cecia was obsessed with the precision of the Beretta pistol.
She can feel the generational difference between the craftsmanship level of the two worlds from the material and workmanship of this pistol, and even the construction of the bullet.
"What else, it's just that it's more powerful and can shoot farther, and this bulky weapon can't compare to your breath, Lord Earl."
The captain of the law enforcement team had an unusual respect for the countess.
Because she is the protector of the Republic of Falot... At the same time, it is also a weapon of war with great destructive power.
The birth of Cecia and her ilk changed the landscape of the world battlefield.
So that the Western countries can easily abuse all countries that do not have dragons.
"You're right, but I'd like to see it anyway." Count Cecia's scarlet pupils burned as he looked at Consul Gu, who was still talking to the country.
Cecia's obsession with the craftsmanship of this pistol was a curiosity, not a yearning.
Because the development of force in this world is still based on the study of dragon veins to obtain extraordinary power.
In the eyes of most transcendents, whether it is a knight in the West, a priest in the East, or a transcendent person with other powers, he can only be regarded as a toy.
Consul Gu was quietly listening to the report on the situation in China.
But the content of the report still made him, an old comrade who doesn't read novels or chase dramas, and whose biggest hobby is drinking tea and studying the international situation, is confused.
Consul Gu took a while to digest the huge amount of information given by the country.
He looked at the Countess of Cecia again, looked at the dragon horns on the other man's head and the scarlet eyes, and gradually realized the fact that he had crossed with his own country.
But as a diplomat, his role remains the same... That is, to ensure the safety of compatriots abroad, as well as to negotiate with other countries.
"Your Excellency Diplomat, have you communicated well with your homeland?" Count Cecia asked Consul Gu in a loud voice.
"The communication will go on, I'm just relaying the relevant decisions on behalf of my home country, I don't know what to call this lady?"
Consul Gu always kept the mobile phone conversation open, and whether it was him or this Count Cecia, the words could be heard by the people on the other side.
"Cecia, Cecia Balma, I am a red dragon born from the Balmar family." Cecia made a brief introduction.
Consul Gu listened to the word 'red dragon' behind him, and a little sweat overflowed on his forehead, which was a cold sweat that Consul Gu felt that he didn't know where to complain.
"In short, I now come to listen to your country's demands on behalf of the Republic of Falot." Said Count Cecia.
"If requested, we hope to establish normal diplomatic relations with your country, and I also hope that your country will be able to guarantee the safety of our citizens in the near future..."
Consul Gu recounted the diplomatic requests from the country.
Cecia listened silently, word for word, but the captain of the law enforcement team standing next to her, as well as the other onlookers of the Republic of Falot, felt that these requests were a bit outrageous.
In their eyes, these black-haired and black-eyed people are all from Great Xia, why does a weak country like Great Xia, which doesn't even have dragons, make so many requests?
Although the captain of the law enforcement team did not dare to be presumptuous beside Count Cecia, the crowd of onlookers around him still seemed a little excited.
"I already know what you're asking for."
Cecia's voice is really comfortable to listen to, elegant and mature without hurry.
When Consul Gu also thought that this Red Dragon Lady was a person who could talk well, Cecia suddenly spit out a little spark as she spoke.
"But your soldiers killed my knights this morning... Albert! His mission was to deliver Xishuang County, so he didn't bring any arms and troops, but you still killed him, which is a serious war provocation. Cecia whispered.
And this kind of thing? When did we slaughter someone else's general?
Consul Gu listened to the answer from the country's side and found that it was the clash that took place at the border this morning, and it was obviously the general who killed the people first.
But this kind of diplomatic conflict can't be explained by words alone...
"And your Excellency, diplomat, if the strength of your country is all that, I am afraid that even if we promulgate laws to protect the citizens of your country... I am afraid that the citizens of your country will live in safety on this land. ”
The meaning of Cecia's words is actually obvious.
Only when one's own country is strong can it ensure that its citizens are not bullied abroad.
Huaguo has just come to this world, and everyone doesn't know what your strength is when you first arrive.
But the black-haired and black-eyed Great Xia people are fat meat that anyone can bully casually in this world.
"What do you think, Lady Cecia..."
"War." Count Cecia, or the pride of being a red dragon, made her say those two words.
Her scarlet eyes stared at Consul Gu, and then she returned the Beretta pistol to him.
"You kill my subordinates, the revenge of a soldier of the Republic of Falot must be avenged, if you want to win dignity in this world, see you on the battlefield!"
"War is a situation we never want to see." Consul Gu was a little confused by the dragon's brain circuit.
In other words, Consul Gu's brain circuit is not the best in this world, modern society is used to peace, and war will never be prioritized between countries discussing things.
If the world's major powers fight, it will be the end of the world if they really fight the third world war seriously.
Therefore, the attitude of the countries towards war is to maintain the maximum restraint.
But the world seems to be a little different...
Consul Gu didn't want to fight, and if the situation went to war, it would mean that he was a diplomat who had failed.
"Are you scared?" Cecia asked, somewhat disappointed.
"We have never been afraid of war, but we have never taken the initiative to provoke war." Consul Gu recounted the reply from the country's diplomatic level.
"Then I look forward to your performance on the battlefield, I will lead the army to your Xishuang County tomorrow, that was originally the land ceded to us by Great Xia, and now I will take it back."
Cecia's words carried a confidence that made Consul Gu a little incomprehensible.
Is this little girl an outing when she fights?
"Lord Earl, you don't need to go to the battlefield of Great Xia in person, the patrol of the battle line on the side of the Ainland Empire still needs you!" The captain of the law enforcement team hurriedly reminded.
Dragons are equivalent to nuclear weapons in this world, so what kind of war will directly send their own nuclear weapons to the front line as soon as they start.
The role of Cecia's stay in the country is to act as a deterrent, and if she goes on a campaign, the defense force will drop a lot in an instant.
"My sisters will help me keep it." Cecia looked at Consul Gu again and said, "Go tell your country, get ready, the flame of the red dragon is going to be ignited in your territory... I hope your field artillery will make this war less boring. ”
“……”
Consul Gu didn't know how to reply when he heard this, he really wanted to popularize science to this little girl... If you really want to fight, you may not be able to see our border informant, and you will be gone.
But he didn't say it, because there are still too many unknowns in this world.
The state side is extremely vigilant and attaches great importance to this red dragon's declaration of war!
In any case, this battle of witnesses must be fought!
