Chapter 33 Procrastination
Chang Wei is also old and hidden.
A calculation like this could not be more insignificant to Chang Wei. A slight mention is all it takes. It's the weekend with Her Royal Highness the princess that is the most important thing.
It's a pity that Her Royal Highness the princess is still too weak to withstand the wind and rain.
In Chang Wei's eyes, the Seven Kingdoms and Westeros have long been in the bag. He's shot here, and if he can still get away with it, don't be a monk as a monk.
These old sinister calculations are actually dispensable. Engaging in these things, in general, is inappropriate and harmless to Changwei. The purpose of doing it is to clear the way for Daenerys to build a new empire, provided that Chang Wei doesn't want to make a move.
If you don't do it, an obstacle is an obstacle, as long as Chang Wei takes action directly, it is not an obstacle.
In fact, Chang Wei was too lazy to bully mortals, so he had this one.
So just drag it out.
One day, two days, three days, Tyrion and Margaery were still patient, etc. But after three or five days, I became irritable. They had been waiting for Christine to come back for ten days. If you wait like this, when will it be a head?
Two months in a month?
The daylilies are cold!
And Christine seemed to be getting busier and busier, barely finding time to see them. Christine is indeed busy. Digesting the other eight cities of the free trade city-state involves various issues. The Pantos framework is good, but the amount of work that needs to be done to replicate the Pantos framework in every city is incalculable.
And because of the unification of the free trade city-state, the ruling framework of Pantos itself here also needs to be adjusted-mainly upgraded.
Obviously, Pantos would become the political center of the free trade city-state. Instead of being on an equal footing with the other eight cities.
Therefore, the governing body of Pantos will be elevated to a central body, and the other eight cities will be local institutions.
This requires serious adjustments.
Christine's busyness was not deliberately made to show people. It's really busy. Therefore, Tyrion and the others have no way to blame.
Can only wait.
But until when?
Tyrion walked impatiently back and forth, he had just gone to the Foreign Minister again. But I didn't see it. Because the foreign minister led the team to other cities and established the corresponding institutions under the Foreign Affairs Yuan.
The whole Pantos is busy. It's visible.
Tyrion could only be anxious.
He had just received news from the Seven Kingdoms, and King Robert Barassion was urging him to bring reinforcements from the free city-states as soon as possible.
"I have to see Stuart."
He forced himself to suppress his anxiety and kept his mind clear: "In any case, bring an army back as soon as possible." ”
"What are you going to do?" Margaery's expression was gloomy: "And the free trade city-state doesn't have too many armies. ”
"Yes." Tyrion said, "Those 20,000 soldiers from the barracks outside the city. ”
"They?!" Margaery was stunned for a moment, and thought, "There is a certain possibility. Perhaps Stuart didn't pay much attention to these surrenders. ”
"I'm going to give it a try, even if it's out of place." Tyrion gritted his teeth, "I've figured out Stuart's route home every evening. ”
"You're going to stop her along the road?" Margaery was shocked: "You are a nobleman! What a faux pas! ”
"I can't help it." Tyrion Road.
In their opinion, it may be that the nobles have lost their honor, but for Christine, Tyrion's obstruction is indeed difficult to deal with.
I've been avoiding them these days, and now that I'm like this, I have to see them.
So after Tyrion stopped Christine on the way, Christine took him to the castle and prepared to continue the game.
"The Free Trade City-States and Westeros are close to each other," Tyrion began, "If Westeros is attacked by the Wraiths, then the Free Trade City-States will follow suit." I may ask Your Excellency the Governor that the Free Trade City-State will definitely come to Westeros' aid, right? ”
Obviously, this is a certainty. So Kristeen nodded: "Yes." ”
"I also know that His Highness Christine is very busy, and since assistance is certain, then I have a reasonable request." Tyrion said: "Your Highness Christine, the 20,000 soldiers in the barracks outside the city are a hidden danger to Pantos, since this is the case, please let me take it!" ”
Kristeen was slightly surprised, this little man was actually eyeing the troops outside the city! What a surprise!
To Tyrion's embarrassment and disappointment, Christine denied what he thought was a reasonable request.
Lost and leaving the Doge's Castle, Tyrion is like the walking dead. He had come to see Pantos' bad intentions.
Procrastinate!
He sighed, racking his brain.
Apparently, Pantos had another idea for Westeros, the same idea he had when he saw the rising behemoth of Pantos.
He wants to drag Pantos into the quagmire of war in order to cut off Pantos' upward trend. And Pantos responds to his sense of crisis - coveting Westeros.
Dilemma.
Pantos verbally promised to help, but he never put it into practice, not even a word of certainty. Behind the scenes, the urging of the Seven Kingdoms and Robert Barassine set him up on the fire.
A thought flashed through him.
...
At dinner, Chang Wei and Christine were chatting while eating.
Christine said, "Tyrion, though born with a flaw, is undoubtedly a capable man. He had exhausted all his means, and if we hadn't had a definite goal, he might have succeeded. Many officials were moved by him, and in the past two days, they have mentioned openly and secretly that they are all words of assistance to Westeros. ”
Chang Wei smiled: "He is indeed a smart person. But since he is blocking the road to find you today, it means that he is about to reach his limit. ”
That's when something surprising happened.
A group of soldiers escorted Tyrion and the others to the castle.
Chang Wei and Christine put down the utensils, looked at Tyrion and the others who were tightly tied, and after a little inquiry, the truth was immediately revealed.
It turns out that Tyrion took a desperate step after being rejected by Christine. He took his retinue and took advantage of the darkness to reach the barracks outside the city, hoping to persuade the surrenderers and take them with him through speeches.
But he failed.
In Pantos, the military and government affairs are completely separated. Tyrion was able to convince many officials to sympathize with him and help him speak through his words, but he couldn't convince the army simply through his words!
Surrender?
He thought it was a surrender, but in fact, the 20,000 men had already completely surrendered to Christine. The 20,000 men were carefully selected by Christine and given them high-standard treatment, and during this time they were not detained in the military camp outside the city, but trained.
So Tyrion hit his head on the iron plate and was dizzy. As soon as he entered the barracks, he was spotted by patrolling soldiers. If he hadn't shouted his identity immediately, he would have been hacked to death by the soldiers.
