Iss pondered for a moment, contrasting it with his own memories of the war in the kingdom. In terms of the frequent border frictions, the Red Mountain Kingdom is always in a state of war in the conventional sense, but the life of the elite areas in the country should still be how to live, and it will not be affected too much. What is special about this time is that this first declaration of a 'state of war' will be accompanied by a number of explicit regulations that will be implemented throughout the country.

The other two looked at each other and did not grasp the point from this brief explanation. Jiao Ming followed up and asked what the so-called 'ordinance' was. Yi Si took a document, flipped through it to the end, and translated it one by one for the two of them.

In addition to curfews, strict frugality, and the suppression of luxury consumption, the two most important points are the speedy and severe handling of all cases in a 'state of war', and the criminalization of any act that harms the overall interests of the kingdom during this period.

After listening to these rather detailed rules, Jiao Ming remembered a term 'Patriotic Act'. The history of this world before the Magic Age is unknown, and just a few hundred years after the Magic Age, the cultural core of the feudal system has developed slowly, and only the loyal monarch has not yet developed patriotism.

From this point of view, this 'state of war doctrine' is still somewhat progressive. On the other hand, although it cannot be said that this is all about diverting domestic contradictions, it is at least 50 percent of the factors that make for the smoother implementation of the new currency. After all, there are some things that are directly said to be a violation of the New Monetary Deal, which will inevitably be resented by the 'silent majority', but if you are caught and killed again by labeling a traitor, the onlookers will applaud and celebrate.

After Yi Si finished translating the regulations, Jiao Ming had basically confirmed his conjecture, and after saying it, the second daughter also nodded slightly, only controversial on the proportion. The second daughter, who has no experience in this set of gameplay, believes that the threat of foreign forces is dominant, and taking the opportunity to solve the problem of the implementation of the new currency within is only incidental.

"We don't have much to say here, just look at the follow-up actions of the Red Mountain Kingdom to know the truth. Jiao Ming stopped the signs of argument and fought with women in this kind of debate match without referees, completely asking for his own hardships. "If the Red Mountain Kingdom identifies the enemy country and actively prepares for war, and sets out for war within thirty days, it is external. Otherwise, its core goal is to be included. Of course, I personally hope that the latter, and even the former, it is better to go to war with the forces within the United Kingdom than with the Mother Earth Cult. ”

The second girl pondered for a moment, agreeing with this judgment mechanism, and also expressed her expectation for the identity of the hostile target: soft persimmons are the best. After all, if it is a strong enemy, there are too many variables to make a move, and if you don't do it, you have to go to the front line in person.

As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun, and a great man once concluded that the fundamental purpose of imperialist war is to divert internal contradictions. And the Red Mountain Kingdom seems to confirm this truth again, and in the following time, the domestic and foreign forces are quiet, and they are not sure about the new things in this 'state of war', so they can only choose to wait and see. The royal family of the Red Mountain Kingdom not only did not declare war on any of the forces, but also took this opportunity to arrest in the name of punishing the 'traitors' in Qingshui City, which can be regarded as a lightning speed to eliminate several bewildered opposition backbone families.

Reading this information, Jiao Ming, who was becoming more and more proud, was thinking about finding the second daughter to brag a few words, but at the end of the intelligence document, he saw the news about the batch of green mist potions again: After Tro Ling was quiet for a few days, he once again strongly asked the Red Mountain Kingdom to give an explanation, as if he didn't care about the deterrence of the 'state of war'.

An indescribable feeling of nervousness permeated his heart, Jiao Ming frowned and paced around the study a few times, shouted the personality of the silent person twice but did not get a response, then slapped his forehead and rummaged on the table, and asked Luo Hua: "Has today's "The Onion Newspaper" been delivered?" "Here." Flora stepped forward at once, as a valet who had thought about this aspect, and as soon as she reached out her hand, she pulled out a newspaper from somewhere on the table.

Jiao Ming grabbed it as if he grabbed it, read it carefully from front to back, and did not find any articles that incited emotions, and even this matter of seizing people did not mention the slightest thing. Put down the newspaper and breathe a sigh of relief, according to his thoughts, if Tello wants to go to war, the banner of justice cannot be abandoned. Considering that no one among the people wants to go to the battlefield for no reason, this propaganda is also indispensable in advance.

To sum up, if there is no news in the onion newspaper, Troling will not make a big move. In the case of a small-scale elite troop rescue operation, success or failure will not have much impact.

Then Jiao Ming wanted to talk to Yi Si and the others about this matter, but it seemed that it was not stable enough to make a fuss, so he still waited for a basis to talk about it, so he just instructed Luo Hua: "The Onion News in the next few days will be placed on the top." ”

"Yes. "Rosewood bowed down to receive the order.

The next day, the front page of The Onion newspaper was a headline about free trade, and as he read it, Jiao Ming suddenly noticed that his arm uncontrollably picked up the pen and circled the newspaper.

... Squeak when you come out, don't scare people...

... Chirping...

The silent personality responded in the usual flat tone, while the normal personality was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was a joke.

... You still have a sense of humor left in your mind?

... It's rare to be in a good mood...

Normal personality Jiao Ming didn't think that it was good news that the silent person's personality was in a good mood, but he still said tentatively.

... Share it?...

... We're all from the same source, and you should want to get it too...

... I can't think of...

... Then think slowly...

Jiao Ming, a normal personality, suppressed the urge to scold, and just wanted to say something more, but felt that the control of his body had also fallen, and he was stunned for a moment to ask in his heart but did not get a response, obviously the personality of the silent person had retracted.

"Bastard!" Jiao Ming, a normal personality, scolded loudly, and then said that it was okay to Luo Hua, who cast a concerned gaze, and then carefully read the place where the personality of the silent person left traces on the "Onion Newspaper", but there was nothing new to discover.

And the "Onion News" in the next few days made Jiao Ming feel more and more nervous. The first headline about the 'correctness of free trade' seemed to be a clarion call, and all sorts of related articles sprung up. Some preach that 'free trade is sacrosanct', while others preach that 'free trade is born with a right that is self-evident'. In addition to these copying religious texts, there are also articles that calmly analyze, linking 'free trade' with the rise of the Tro Territory, and predicting that only 'free trade' can allow the Tro Territory to continue to develop rapidly.

The most important article is about 'everyone's freedom makes the evolution of the whole civilization', and the tone of the argument makes Jiao Ming feel familiar. After thinking about the author's pen name for a long time, I suddenly remembered that this TM seems to be the vest of the personality of the silent person. Yu scolded in his heart for a long time, but he didn't get a response, Jiao Ming sat down on the chair like a deflated ball, and a strong premonition hit his heart: this matter may not be good.

Sitting paralyzed for a long time, all kinds of terrible expectations swirled in Jiao Ming's mind. In the chaotic land of the trial of the new army in the spring, a thought that had been forgotten in the corner resurfaced in my mind, whether suicide was the most beneficial choice for all mankind in this world at this time. And in the midst of trembling slightly, a famous quote sounded in his ears: I would rather teach me to bear the world than teach the world to bear me.

Sitting up suddenly, Jiao Ming repeatedly confirmed that this was not the nagging bewitchment of the other two personalities, but just ordinary auditory hallucinations, which made him feel a little relieved. A bit of autosuggestion dispelled many negative thoughts, cut out the "Onion News" in the past few days, and sorted out and pasted it into a tree-like diagram that gradually expanded according to the time and the author of the article.

Then take this thing to Yi Si and the others, ready to start lobbying, although there is no solution yet, but at least to convince them that the crisis is imminent and must be treated carefully. However, what puzzled Jiao Ming was that after listening to the beginning, Yisi and the others' expressions became very strange.

"What's going on?"

Yisi was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, "The madman brought something similar yesterday morning. ”

Jiao Ming only felt his vision spin for a while, and instantly cold sweat soaked his back, "So what does he mean?"

"It's pretty much the same as you said, suggesting that I give the higher-ups a wake-up call to the unusual movements of the Tro Leader. ”

"Gone?"

"At least I didn't hear anything else. ”

Jiao Ming was immediately blinded, if the goal of his behavior coincided with the madman's personality, did it mean that he was also helping the silent person's personality to achieve its ulterior purpose. If this is the case, there must be something wrong in your plan. In Yu Yisi's increasingly strange gaze, Jiao Ming paced back and forth.

As you envisioned. Let the high-level leaders of the Red Mountain Kingdom face up to the strength of the Tro Territory, properly solve the matter of the border army's seizure of goods, and complete some of the prohibitive laws and regulations on the Qingwu Elixir, then the situation of sword tension can be eased into a simple war of words, everyone condemns each other, trade is reduced for a few years, and then nothing happens like friendly diplomacy.

So what is the specific plan of the madman personality, or the silent personality?

"What do you think the high-level leaders of the Red Mountain Kingdom will do after learning about the strength and movements of the Tro Leader?" Jiao Ming paused and turned his head to ask Yi Si, who was also in deep thought.

After a moment, Yi Si shook his head slowly, "If a few years ago, the direction of the kingdom's policy could be predicted, after all, as long as you look through the family records. But at this moment, I was completely confused. ”

"Then can you ask the old lady of the Nine Rings who received us in the palace last time?"

"Yesterday I sent a message to my aunt as the madman suggested, and I was optimistic that we would be allowed to meet tomorrow. After a pause, Yisi smiled bitterly, "But now that you're doing, I don't even know what to say tomorrow." ”

"Can you take me with you for the meeting?"

"Of course, but you'd better tell me what you want to talk about first, so as to avoid being rude and messing things up. ”

"It's very simple, just to confirm the decisions that the Red Mountain Kingdom might take. ”

After dinner on this day, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, took out the latest report of the arsenal, confirmed the progress to the personality of the silent person, and asked again about the method of closing the soul. And the personality of the Silent Man also seems to think that this is a critical moment, and finally comes up with some dry goods: a ball of memory light.

... When the madman wakes up, just put this thing in the soul image, that is, the opening of the cardboard box, and you will see the result that makes you satisfied...

... Here's ?...

... If you're curious, you can dive in, but I don't recommend you do that just yet...

The normal personality Jiao Ming pondered for a moment, and there was no hand owing. When the madman's personality wakes up, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, doesn't care whether the silent person's personality is peeking or not, first tries to extract some information, and after failing, he takes out the memory light ball and does as he says. And the result is really outstanding, the mental image of the cardboard box of the madman's personality is actually closed and silent, like a cat that smells disgust.

After some verbal temptation to determine that this was not acting, the normal personality was overjoyed. After all, if some words come out, even if there is a silent personality control, the madman's personality will explode. However, at this moment, the memory light cluster disappeared, and the voice of the madman's personality appeared, and the content of his speech was like a 'fragment', and he did not remember what had just happened.

Before his consciousness passed, the only feeling of a normal personality Jiao Ming was that the probationary period was so short.

When he woke up the next day, Jiao Ming sorted out the information a little and expanded the tree map one more layer, and after lunch, he followed Yisi into the palace again to meet with the old woman of the Nine Rings. The simple and polite greetings are all done by Yisi, and then Jiao Ming goes straight to the topic. The old woman of the Nine Rings thought about it, but instead asked Jiao Ming's expectations.

When Jiao Ming said the plan to ease the deadlock, which was quite a bit of 'confession', the old woman of the Nine Rings shook her head, "Impossible, this is the time when the royal family is most prestigious, and will never make any decisions that damage the majesty." ”

Jiao Ming also realized in an instant that Zhong Guo was only weak on the surface and tough on the outside world, which attracted the scolding and dissatisfaction of countless netizens.

At this time, if there is a slight sign of weakness in the foreign policy of the royal family, either verbally or practically, it will inevitably lead to a round of counterattack by the opposition forces in the country that have been suppressed with great difficulty. The consequence is at least an increase in unnecessary internal friction, and the highest is even the failure of the entire promotion of the New Monetary Deal.

"Then if Tro Ling is really as strong as this information says, and his attitude is as tough as expected......

"The battle to defend the land is fearless. ”

This is said categorically and beautifully, but Jiao Ming also heard the hint: he has the determination to fight hard, but he has no strength to go out and wave, and he will not show the slightest timidity.

Leaving the information, Jiao Ming and Yi Si thanked and said goodbye, and on the carriage leaving the palace, their eyes were full of gloom.

"Take me to Tro to have a look. Yi Si said.

"Personally, but ......"

"No one else can believe it. Of course, Yi Si understood the danger, but his eyes suddenly lit up, "Recently, the Tro Territory has been talking about free trade, so it is better to go in this name, if you are treated unfairly, you can also not lose in the battle of words." ”

Jiao Ming thought about it, a thirty-year-old Bahuan is really not worth smashing the signboard, and even worried about deducting the basin here, but strictly protecting it, so he agreed.
