Gastens stood in the middle of Elena's first conference room, looking at all the members of the Communist Party council with excitement in his voice.

"Comrades, this Abu Moze incident is an opportunity that I think we have been waiting for for a long time. Three years on, three years after the signing of the constitutional contract, we have not given up for a minute the idea of a unified Anken Rein. Now, the people of Abu Moze have given us this opportunity, and according to Zinke's intelligence, it is now possible to prevent our unification mainly by the private armies of several archdukes, with a total number of about 300,000 and a limited number of troops. The weapon used comes from the Alonte Empire, the steam rifle is called the Thorn Bird, Mr. William has calculated, this weapon has approached our Thunder 1 in all aspects, and there are even some innovations in the reload mechanism. However, one or two weapons with a technical level close to ours will not save Anken Rein, and we have already experienced two large-scale wars of Elena Guard and Self-Defense Counterattack, and it is not particularly difficult to deal with such an enemy. What we have been waiting for is actually an opportunity! ”

Gastens smacked the table hard as he spoke of his chance. It's been five years since I came to this plain, which is called the land of the goddess. He and his Elena finally have the ability to start a war on their own initiative. How many people can truly understand and understand the ups and downs and dedication behind this?

"Boss, I don't have any problems militarily, and I don't think there is much of a problem in the hearts of the people. One thing I don't understand now is why Gary Gibson decided to give up his armaments after taking over the imperial power. Isn't this a sign of giving up resistance? ”

Charlie Harry Warren asked, he really didn't figure it out. Although Gary Gibson's policy purpose and role had been discussed many times before the council, he still felt that the issue was worth exploring in depth as the war approached.

"We've talked about this before, and we don't think the same thing. However, from the available evidence, Gary Gibson is a pessimist. Although his experience in Elena did not make him believe in communism, he saw the vitality and vitality of Elena. Therefore, after being doomed to lose the imperial power, he decided to put more and bigger, which should also be a helpless move. At the same time, the great nobles who had been victimized by Paul Gibson would not accept the existence of a strong imperial power. Therefore, the current situation of Anken Rui's de facto warlord secession is also a historical inevitability. ”

Gastens replied as he sorted out his thoughts, "All in all, it is a great thing that Gary Gibson was able to get the constitutional contract done when he first took office. The current Anken Rein is not something that he can save with a clever brain. Our next strategy is to consider him, but we don't need to take his reaction and countermeasures as the main consideration. He has no weapons, no popular support, and nothing can be done. If we want to unify Ankenrein now, the first thing we should guarantee is the non-interference of other countries. As long as we can do that, we will win. ”

"The boss is right, although we now have one hundred and twenty Behemoth tanks, the overall number is still not much. Moreover, countries are also working on ways to deal with giant beasts, and some of them are also very tricky for us, and the use of giant beasts will not be as smooth as before. Therefore, it is better not to involve other countries, or not to involve them. ”

Ivan's statement was clear. Bimbo Bobruv waited for him to finish and raised his hand to speak.

"Internationally, the current situation is okay. The new six-nation parliament in the city of Moon has not had much repercussions, and it has always been able to be controlled by us. The constitutional war of three years ago, from the beginning of the war to the end of the war, they did nothing but meet and finally accepted our results. Therefore, there is not much problem in the area of diplomacy at present. ”

"Very well, let's talk about the details", Gastens nodded, "The Abu Moze incident, the dead and wounded workers and peasants, as well as the small citizens who participated in the march, according to our statistics, have exceeded a hundred. My idea is to force the Ankenriin government to agree to the Abu Moze referendum, and if their people agree to annex Abu Moze to Elena, we can peacefully recover Abu Moze. ”

"If we vote by the number of people, we can win anything", Ivan grinned, "the serfs and workers make up more than seventy percent, and if they agree to the referendum, we will win." ”

"Even if they agree to a referendum, they won't agree to a referendum based on the number of people. It is estimated that there is a fuss about voting qualifications, and serfs do not have the right to vote or anything like that. ”

"Well, there are precedents for this, and there are many examples of the Third Republic, where the working class is still struggling for the right to vote, but it is not going well. If you really want to force them to agree to the referendum, some of them will be ridiculous. ”

"Which Grand Duke's territory is Dongling Province now?"

Tomás Gurakos, who had been in charge of industry and had an eye on international politics, had little knowledge of the details of Anken Rein's distribution of power.

"It used to be Henry Flaklin's territory, and now the Mage Tower Capital Department has penetrated deeply in this area, but if we want to talk about confrontation, we are still against Henry Flaklin."

Zink did his homework on this and came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"That Henry Flaklin who was chased by our mechanized combat brigade?" Beckon Warren laughed, "Then there shouldn't be any pressure to hit him, right?" ”

"Bakken", Gastens looked at him, "not to be underestimated. ”

"Yes, I understand, sir."

Bakken Warren's face was grim and he stopped talking. Gastens looked around and said, warning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is not easy for us to get to this point, although we are in better shape than before, and we have more troops in our hands. But we always have to remember one thing, no one in this world except our good friend Cassie Lonergan is on the same path as us. So, 10 million, 10 million, don't underestimate the enemy. Otherwise, we never know what's going to happen in the next second, you know? ”

"Understood."

"Got it."

Everyone agreed, and then began to seriously discuss the attitude towards the Abu Moze incident. Although there was a lot of debate and uncertainty about the details, everyone quickly agreed.

Abumoze was forced to hold a referendum on joining Elena, limited to one month. If it cannot be held within a month, Elena will forcibly reclaim Abu Moze.

——————————————

Rob Hedran hurried through the long corridor of the main building of the Manor of Grace on the outskirts of Abumoze, the armour, paintings, and statues on either side of the corridor were none of the world's finest works of art or important historical artifacts, but these incomparably expensive things were as insignificant as air in front of the old man who was hurrying forward.

After walking some distance, Rob Hedland stopped in front of an ornately decorated gate. He stood for a moment, calming his breath, before reaching out and pushing the door open. The full view of the glow hall of the Holy Grace Manor gradually appeared in front of him.

It is a hall over 200 years old and one of the main strongholds of the Rob Hedland family. Here, the Hedland family has witnessed the rise and fall of eight emperors, as well as the changes in the international community. Each of the successive heads of the family who hung on the wall has left an indelible footprint in history. Although the Hedland family prefers to live in seclusion and has no reputation. But if you carefully follow the clues behind those historical events, you can always find traces of the Hedland family, or the other two major mage tower families.

They are the most powerful forces under the Great Magus.

"You're here."

In the middle of the Hall of Glow was a small tea table, and the three bosses of the Mage Tower, with the exception of Rob Hedland, had already arrived. Aitken Clifton of House Clifton and Ruby Brossard of House Brossard looked at Rob Hedland together, waiting for his response.

"I'm coming."

Rob Hedland nodded, walked over to the small table and sat down, picked up the teacup in front of him, and drank the black leaf tea in it. Maybe it's to remember the bittersweet and sweet, or maybe it's to not forget the history, in the previous gatherings of the three major families of the Mage Tower, they never drank tea other than black leaf tea.

"What are the results of the investigation?"

Aitken Clifton looked at Rob Hedland with a faint anxiety in his voice. Elena had been officially informed of Anken Rein's handling of the Abu Moze incident, but whether it was Gary Gibson, the three bosses of the Mage Tower, or several Grand Dukes, there were still many concerns about deciding the fate of a province in this way.

"You all want the result," Rob Hedland frowned, "more than sixty percent support direct annexation, thirty percent support union union annexation, and the remaining ten percent, most of whom are nobles and landlords, are uncountable." ”

"What about limiting voting rights, according to the method of the Third Republic of Fern?" Aitken Clifton asked.

"No, Elena has written very clearly, all Ankenrein citizens, regardless of status, whether noble or not, as long as they are Ankenrein citizens, one person, one vote."

Ruby Brossard had studied Elena's ultimatum over and over again, and knew how limited the space they could have.

"Otherwise, they will send troops to directly expel the existing government and promote the reform of Abu Moze, and we have no room for resistance."

Rob Hedland also understood the process, and he pinched his eyebrows and continued his thoughts.

"Two, we have already seen this matter in the Hedland family. Abumoser could not be saved, and Henry Claflin now lived in Roswell all year round, and had lost his ambitions as a general. Gary Gibson is a capitulationist, he doesn't even have soldiers in his hands, and even if he wants to, he can't do it. Several of us, my Hedland family and Elena are the most involved, and it is impossible to resist. As soon as the process of this referendum is gone, we can only hand over Abu Moze. ”

Rob Hedland's words silenced the entire Hall of Glow Hall. After a moment, Aitken Clifton asked.

"If you're desperate, why are you calling us to discuss it?"

"I'm not going to talk about it, it's about joining Elena in whole thing," Rob Hedland said incessantly, "I've thought about it. Now there is a generational gap between Elena's weapons and all the countries in this world, and their kind of monster tank is almost incomprehensible. What's more, their theories and lines are well received by the people of the lower classes, and they can respond to them in any country. At the same time, their leader, Gastens, may also be an archmage. Such a force, as long as they themselves do not make mistakes, as long as their leaders do not make mistakes, will definitely become the most powerful country in the world, and even unify the entire central continent. Why should we fight them in this case? If this is a historical choice, or, in the words of the Cult of Auun, if it is a gift from Oun, what reason do we have for confrontation? ”

Rob Hedland's words caused a longer silence. The longest of the three families of the Mage Tower has lasted for more than 400 years, and it has also experienced crises, but this is the first time that the head of the family has offered to give up his resistance and surrender to the enemy.

"Sanction the subjects of the Mage Tower, never surrender."

Aitken Clifton's words are hard. Their ancestor, Dahl Vinci Clifton, was the captain of the Sanction Mage Tower's guard at the beginning, and he was also the toughest in his attitude towards the outside world.

"Yes, Patriarch Hedland, our Mage Tower has never done such a thing in history, and besides, he Gastens may not be able to reach the top of this world, will he? Do you want to think twice about your decision? ”

Ruby Brossard said it mildly, but he didn't agree with it. Rob Hedland knew this was the result, and he smiled and replied softly.

"It's not the time of the Mage Tower anymore, and after the Third Great Demon Tide, our three major families have not encountered enough difficulties? It's only when I'm tied to Elena that life is a little better. In this era, whose era is it, don't you two still understand? ”

"But do you think that in his doctrine there will be a place for a capitalist?"

Aitken Clifton's tone was even heavier, "Their doctrine is to abolish the capitalists of this world and achieve the dictatorship of the proletariat." We are exactly what they want to destroy. If you want to get closer to the past, I am afraid that you will be wiped out by them directly, so how can you continue the family? ”

"They want to eliminate the capitalists, not our Hedlands. Who stipulates that we, Hedland, must be the capitalists Hedland? ”

Rob Hedland stood up, threw the question to his two companions behind him, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down again.

"We are not born capitalists, and we can choose not to be capitalists. I, Rob Hedland, if I want to join Elena, will definitely donate all my possessions and become a proletariat like them. They're not going to kill us, are they? ”

"Bang-"

The teacup in Aitken Clifton's hand landed on the porcelain plate on the table with a crisp sound. His eyes widened as he looked at Rob Hedland, as if he had seen a monster that did not look like a human being.

"You...... Can you really let it go? ”

"If I donate all the assets in my name, I can always change food and clothing, right?" Rob Hedland smiled and said what he thought, and he became extremely relaxed, "I've had a lot of rich days, and I don't think there's anything particularly good." Sometimes, you have to give up to get it, don't you? ”

"So what do we do?"

Ruby Brossard asked a more direct question, "If your Hedland family wants to commit suicide, we won't stop it." But many of the properties of the Mage Tower are our common industries, how can you donate? ”

"That's why I'm going to discuss with you first", Hedland took a sip of his teacup, "I wonder if you two are interested in joining Elena with me?" How about being a proletariat who is at ease and free of food and clothing? ”
