Chapter 46: The Goddess of Victory Guides the People
After dinner, Eleanor Bonaparte sat upright in a chair in the central square, closing her eyes and recuperating. When the sound of shelling came, she slowly opened her eyes, got up, stretched out, and took the helmet handed by Major Dorset.
Wearing power armor, she was already more than two meters tall, looking down at the governor of the mountain temple who was shrunk to the side, and showed a bright smile at the other party: "Then, I set off, Your Excellency the Governor." ”
The governor of the mountain temple squeezed out a smile with difficulty: "Zhu, I wish you a victorious start and a prosperous martial arts!" ”
He felt that this sentence had almost used up all his physical strength and patience, and looking at the back of the other party striding away, the whole person's smile and spirit suddenly collapsed.
"Phew! May you be killed by those reptiles as soon as you get out of town! No, they were captured, and then this and that......" Mr. Governor instantly made up 1 T of resources in his brain, and his mood was a little better.
When he returned to the Governor's Palace, he learned from the Parliamentary Secretary that there were already guests waiting for him in the office.
"Didn't I say I was going to rest! Is there no one to see? What do you do? Can't understand people? The Governor of the mountain temple reprimanded the secretary.
"I think it's better for Your Excellency to see it." Although the veteran bureaucrat, who had always been deferential and humble, was still smiling, the sense of oppression in his words made His Excellency the Governor shudder.
"I, what if I don't see me?" Mr. Yamadera felt the need to convey the root nature of a high-ranking official.
"I insist! Excellency. The secretary was still smiling, but there seemed to be a hint of threat in his words.
"See, see......" Mr. Governor felt a little sad.
The guest is not human, but has a face with a brown mane that looks rather fierce (to humans). It was a Cathay merchant, and the Governor remembered him as if his name was Chuck Brownwich.
The Kethays are a humanoid race with vigorous fur, a strong body, and natural claws and sharp teeth, which do have a bit of a taste of large feline essences. Of course. Like big cats, they have the physical ability to tear ordinary humans apart with their claws and teeth, and they are also the most famous warrior race in the galaxy.
In addition, the Kaitai Kingdom is an alliance of the empire, and there are still a little territorial disputes with the community, and diplomatic relations can be imagined. Of course, diplomatic relations belong to diplomatic relations, and the fact that the two countries are not at war does not delay people from doing business.
The Kaitai people are really worthy of the warrior race of the civilized galaxy, obviously a trader, but they are still powerful, as if they can fight hand-to-hand with power armor. The short and fat imitation of Mr. Governor was at least a head shorter than the other party, and he was immediately afraid. He looked behind him to make sure that a few security guards were still following him, and then he put a little refreshment, and then he straightened up the governor's shelf, and asked with a straight face, "Is there anything wrong with you?" Mr. Brownwisp. ”
"Did Miss Commander attack with all the forces in the city? There's an army of millions out there! Your Excellency, what shall we do after that? You've got to give us a letter! The other party had a bitter face, but he did a low posture, which made Mr. Governor, who was heartbroken by Eleanor, very satisfied.
"There are more than 2,000 foreign merchants and technicians like us in this port of Tulon! We are willing to trade here because we fully believe in the competence of the Governor's Palace. But now that this has happened, it is necessary to reassess the security level of the colony, and the subsequent value of trade, as an employee of the Royal Canaanite Merchant Order. ”
Wait, this big fat cat is an employee of the Canaanite Merchant Order? Isn't that the royal property of the Empire?
Mr. Governor's first reaction was that the other party was holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and then he pondered it again, realizing that although the Kaitai Kingdom is also a member of the Galactic Council and is theoretically an independent country, the successive Kaitai kings have called the emperors "my father" and "my lord", which is simply more deferential than those vassal states. As a result, the major aristocratic families of the empire, including the Eight Election Wang families, have a considerable number of Kaitai retainers.
Therefore, it is really possible that this guy is an employee of the royal family, and it is even possible that he is a retainer who chooses the emperor!
"Yes, you guessed correctly, the two merchant ships that stopped at the merchant port below are the property of the Tamil king."
It took nearly two seconds for the governor of the mountain temple to react, and then he jumped up on the spot and said loudly: "You, what do you mean? Are you threatening me? ”
"No, I'm just pondering, since you have certain difficulties in protecting the expatriates and the city, why don't you discuss it and ask for international assistance?" The Kaitai merchant grinned,
On the other side, Eleanor, who was carrying a helmet, had already walked to the square at the door, and immediately got the latest news.
"Oh, did that big cat really go to the Governor's Palace?"
"Yes." Major Sanga, the commander of the Tulong garrison, nodded: "So, commander, should we ......"
He made a gesture of cutting, and then immediately exchanged Eleanor's complaints: "What is this cutting about?" Arrest him and kill him? There were also a thousand merchants from all over the world in this Tulon, and they all were killed? ”
Sanga hurriedly shook his head with a smile: "No, no, no, this, how dare Xiaguan?" I mean, first detain? ”
"Forget it, I just want to see what those hungry big cats have in mind." Eleanor sneered, striding towards the soldiers who had assembled in the square. 500 commandos, 2,500 soldiers, and tens of thousands of militiamen, except for a small number of people who had to stick to their posts, were all assembled here. And nearly a million citizens, either at home or silently around the square, quietly watched as the young woman in power armor and helmet in her hand walked among them.
"Citizens of Tulon, citizens of the Community, I am Eleanor Bonaparte, Acting Commander of the New Jade Gate Planetary Defense Force, and now, I want to address you."
"As we all know, the past week has been the most difficult time for our colony. The Sandfolk who thought they had been completely subdued by us gathered a million troops and besieged our Tulon, the first city established by the community in the New World in the Sea of Stars. I was always told that they were just savage natives who had not yet bathed in the light of civilization, and that even if they were an army of millions, they were only a million pigs. Well, the battle the day before yesterday seems to have proved it. ”
"But what I want to tell you is that all those who do not give in to the struggle deserve our respect! We did bring civilization to them, we did have the right to despise their ingratitude, and we certainly have the power to kill each and every one of them, but, remember, those who are willing to take up arms and fight for their own chance to speak are heroes who deserve our respect! This is what Marshal Victoria Lee, the father of the great community, taught us! It is with this belief that we have built our great kingdom! Shouldn't we pay a minimum of respect to those who share our determination? ”
"Yes, the sandfolk gathered outside are not beasts, not barbarians, not mobs, but heroes!"
Eleanor's words made a large part of the people inexplicably ignite, but there were also a considerable number of people who looked at each other, and they didn't quite understand why they wanted to elevate their enemies.
"What nonsense! With all this nonsense, I'm going to sue her at the National Defense Committee! Yes, sue her! "Mr. Governor in his own office in a rage of incompetence. He always felt that he had been humiliated by Lord Yang, and at this time, of course, he felt that Eleanor's words were humiliated.
The Cathay merchant, who had just left the Governor's Palace, also heard Eleanor's speech, and he stopped to listen, always feeling that something was wrong, and fell into a long test. His face gradually sank, and he felt like a lollipop was curdled on his fluffy beard.
"But we still have to fight! We're going to beat them! We're going to kill them! If you find it under the city, you will be bombarded to death! Shoot you with a gun if you appear in sight! Appear next to it and hack it to death with a power axe and sword! If you show up in the toilet, press it in the urinal and drown! Only heroes conquer heroes! In order to thoroughly make the sandfolk understand the ideal of community and be willing to be a part of us, first of all, we must fight and kill them! Killing the heroes of the sand people outside, this is the most perfect interpretation of our love for the community! ”
Wait, can you still talk like this? How can this be related to the righteousness of the family and the country? Mr. Governor was dumbfounded.
Also stunned was Cathay businessman Chuck Brownwich. He looked at the ordinary citizens and militiamen around him who had gradually become fanatical, and knew that these people had been brainwashed successfully.
What a scendiary drive...... Wait, in this way, even if she leads people to kill all the millions of sand people outside, it can be forcibly interpreted as "a forced battle between heroes" and "the inevitable pain of civilization and racial integration"!
Think about it, most of the reptile sandfolk are tendons, and I can't really eat this set. After the war is over, there will not be much hatred for humanity.
This, this girl is really terrifying! Don't stay!
Not to mention the thoughts of the Kaitai merchants, on the other hand, Eleanor's speech continued.
"Citizens, militia fighters, guard your posts! As long as you do your duty, you are fighting! Soldiers, come with me! Haven't you always been contemptuously called the miscellaneous fish of the garrison? But so what? Hahahaha, I tell you, I'm a woman! My alma mater, the Central Defense University, only started accepting female students eight years ago, and I am one of the first to do so. I don't know how much prejudice and discrimination I have suffered before! But so what? I was still the first to graduate and took the oath under the national flag on behalf of everyone. See, examples, achievements, results, this is the only way for you to prove yourself! All the other so-called struggles are shoddy verbal cannons. ”
"Follow us to conquer your enemies, and you will conquer the slander and slander of others! Follow me to conquer the heroes, and you will become heroes too! Then, lay the foundation for history! ”
With that, Eleanor put on her helmet, snatched the flag from Major Sanga's hand, turned on the pulley of the motorized armor, and rushed out of the city!
