The Great Council on whether to form an alliance with the Negro Republic or with the Ankenrein Empire met for two days, and nothing came of it. The words of Prince Dawn Gibson from Ankenrein or Pierre Carell, the former president of the Negro Republic, will be skeptical. Is the front really what they say they are? Will the Council of the Six Towers really let it go? If you participate, can you really have that much benefit?

More importantly, is it in the interests of one's own party to vote for one of them?

After two days of the Great Council, the Speaker of the Congress, Espen Scordario, announced a two-day adjournment to allow the main parties to agree on their views. Kaber Luya knew that he was relieved at this time, and the pressure of whether to drag the country into war was a little overwhelming, and his mental state was not very good.

"It's just the beginning, you'll get used to it after a long time", on the way back, Stella gently took Caber Luya's hand and asked him to lean against her. In order to be able to pick up Caber Luya as soon as possible, Stella and Caber Luya's coachman waited outside the Grand Council for a whole day and a night.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, and this meeting is too stressful, but fortunately they take care of the food and provide a place to rest, otherwise I really don't know if I can survive."

Caber Luya was indeed very tired, but when he thought of the delicate little girl in front of him waiting for a day and a night in the winter porch for himself, his heart was like a knife, and he couldn't breathe.

"It's okay, there's pyroxene anyway, and I can't freeze."

Stella smiled and shifted her body to make Caber Luya lie more comfortably, "Did that end up happening?" With whom and who are we fighting? ”

"How can it be so fast", Caber Luya fell down and put his head on Stella's lap, "continue the discussion in two days, and then call for a vote at the right time." ”

"That'...... These two days are reserved for us to have an intra-party meeting? ”

"Clever! That's it, so when you go back, you may have to prepare for it, and tomorrow we will gather all the party delegates in Ferndingen, and we will have an impromptu discussion meeting, and we will talk about it when everyone arrives. ”

"Okay, got it."

Stella nodded, a look of ease.

Back at Mikiyu 37, Caber Luya rested for a while, and was thinking about finding a place to eat with Stella, when he suddenly received an invitation from Espen Scowdario, inviting him to attend a drinking party at Scowdario's estate in the suburbs, and he could bring his female companion. Caber Luya, who was looking for something to eat, saw the invitation and felt that he was in the right place. Espen Scowdario is a veteran politician, and his family is also involved in the iron ore business, and the conditions are excellent, and the food he can provide must be top-notch.

“…… That's it, how's that, come with me? Caber Luya told Stella what had happened, looking at her expectantly.

"But ......" Stella, who has always been obedient to Caber Luya, rarely hesitated, "My uncle and grandfather are Aziva Rand, and my grandfather's Conservative Party and Skodario's Democratic Party have always been rivals before, didn't I have a bad past?" ”

"Huh? This ......"

Kaber Luya really didn't think about it that much, he thought about it and gave another reason.

"However, if I don't take you, I will feel bored, and I will not want to go."

"That's not going to work!" , Stella became energetic when she heard it, "You are the chairman of the Labor Party, your task is to socialize, socialize, and no matter how powerful it is, you can speak a few words, if you don't go, how can you improve?" ”

"Then you will come with me?" , Caber Luya made a final effort as Stella pushed him into the locker room.

"Okay, I'll accompany you, okay!"

Unable to do so, Stella changed into a bright red evening gown and wrapped in a thick bearskin coat, and got into the steam locomotive that Aziva had sent with Gastens.

——————————

When he arrived at the place, it was really a bright and prosperous situation, and when the chairman of the trade union party came for so long, Caber Luya was familiar with this process. He took Stella by the hand and wandered between the long, cold tables with her, picking out his favorite food to eat. Whether it's top-quality black caviar from the Alonte Empire or foie gras from the Neglo Republic, you'll find it all here. When Kaber Luya first became president of the Hong Kong Trade Union, he made some innocuous jokes when he had never seen these top foods, and when he got acquainted with them, he never made a mistake again. From time to time, people came up to greet Kaber Luya, and he always politely exchanged pleasantries, then said goodbye to each other and continued to eat.

Although eating is not the main purpose of the party, Caber Luya also has a way to make himself comfortable. As for why Skodario invited him to the party, Caber Luya knew that the other party would naturally choose the time to explain.

Chatting, farting, and shaking off the boredom of half an hour before the start of the drinking party, and taking the opportunity to almost fill his stomach, Caber Luya, finally waited for Scottario's purpose. The guest of honour at this reception turned out to be Pierre Carell, the former President of the Republic of Negro, who was also speaking generously at the podium of the Great Council yesterday.

"Are you the chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Union, Caber Luya? It's really young and promising, and I'm fortunate to be lucky! ”

Pierre Carell had a crisp and neat gesture as he shook hands with the guests of the reception and exchanged information. Democratic Chairman Espen Skodario followed him all the way and helped him stand on the platform.

"I am glad to have it, I am deeply sympathetic to the people of your country for the war, and I hope that the war will end as soon as possible!"

Caber Luya was saying the kind words that he had promised, but he was thinking about something. According to his own wishes, the 38 votes of the trade union party should perhaps be voted for the former president in front of him, after all, the other country is the invaded country, and the stronghold of the workers' movement is also in the Republic of Negro, so he has no reason to choose Anken Rein. But now that he is here, he is a little curious, what did the other party say to move Scowdario to stand for him?

Caber Luya's curiosity was destined to be unsatisfied. Although the identity of the guest of honor is a bit special, the other processes are the same as ordinary receptions. Chat, dance, keep chatting. Pierre Carell, unexpectedly, did not talk much about the war at the reception, but instead began to introduce the customs and local anecdotes of the Neglo Republic, which was very attractive. He was surrounded by party presidents like Kaber Luya and girls and ladies like Stella Colke. Former President Pierre Carell used his life's wisdom to tell the story, like a babbling stream, silently flowing into people's hearts, invisibly increasing everyone's understanding of the Neglo Republic. When the country changes from a distant symbol without any meaning to a place with embodied patterns and colors in the heart, people's emotional balance will unconsciously tilt.

"I think the Neglo Republic is good, is there really a Snow Maiden in Genting Snow Mountain?"

On the way home, Stella holds Caber Luya's arm, delusional. She was touched by Karel's love story about the Snow Maiden, and had a new vision of the sacred mountain of the Negru Republic.

"Perhaps, there really is, after all, from the First Age to the present, there are so many legends and stories, who knows how much is true and how much is false?"

Caber Luya whispered softly and stroked Stella's back with her hand. Her bright red reception gown was backless, and Caber Luya's hands had unhindered access to Stella's smooth skin. He stroked it lightly a few times, and his heart throbbed a little.

"Honey, let's go back ......"

"Hmm."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Stella knew what the man meant, she snorted softly, found a more comfortable position on Caber Luya, and closed her eyes.

——————————

In the afternoon of the next day, Aziva Rand came to visit, and with him was the somewhat bookish Fifth Prince, Dawn Gibson.

"I heard you went to Skodario's drinking party yesterday, how was it, it feels good?"

After sitting down and exchanging a few words with Caber Luya, and formally introducing Dawn Gibson to Caberlua by the way, Aziva got straight to the point and threw out a question that made Caber Luya a little embarrassed. Stella, who was still sitting beside him, coped with it with a word.

"It's not bad, Mr. Carell told us a story about the Snow Maiden, which is very interesting."

"Then I wonder if Karel ever told you that the prototype of the Snow Maiden in history was actually a slave who was taken captive to the Genting Snow Mountain from Ankenrein?"

Dawn Gibson smiled slightly, and stretched out Stella's topic, smoothing out the embarrassment caused by Aziva's question. After a while, feeling that the atmosphere was right, Aziva made his request on behalf of Dawn Gibson.

"Chairman Luya, you also listened to the meeting in the past two days, how do you feel?"

"To be honest, I prefer the Neglo Republic, after all, they are the best in the workers' movement, and the Workers' Party is also a brother party of our Workers' Union. However, I would also like to hear the thoughts of His Royal Highness, which may give me some different ideas. ”

Caber Luya knew that since Aziva had come up and told him about yesterday's drinking party, it was best for him not to play any ambiguous tricks. He told his thoughts truthfully, and he also wanted to see what kind of answer Dawn Gibson could give.

"Sending 60 million working class to war is not a very good idea for your party."

Dawn Gibson hit Caber Luya's concerns in a single sentence, and then he gave his own bait.

"If you can take the Negru Republic this time, I will suggest to my father that your party be allowed to develop members in our country. Compared to the political pattern that has been set in the Neglo Republic, the working class in our country does not yet have a guiding light like your party. Whether you want to be a follower or a trailblazer depends on your goals, Chairman Luya. ”

Caber Luya had to admit that Prince Dawn Gibson's proposal really hit him in the heart. Since solving the problem of food and clothing, Kaber Luya has begun to think about how to make the trade union party stronger, and if he can develop the trade union party in the desert of the communist movement in Ankenrein, he will definitely surpass the Nigru's side.

"That's a good idea, let me think about it."

Caber Luya pondered for a moment, then began exchanging views with Dawn Gibson on more of his concerns. Two men with very different identities, backgrounds, and experiences began to get to know each other and contact each other seriously on the top floor of No. 29 Sanmuyu Road.

————————

The exchange with Prince Dawn Gibson lasted for two hours, and Caber Luya wanted to keep the two for a light meal, but His Royal Highness was obviously very nervous, so he politely apologized and said goodbye, and agreed to return to Rossville, the capital of Ankenrein, to entertain Caber Luya. Before leaving, he left a blank letter of knighthood, and as long as Caber Luya wrote his name on it, he could immediately become the Marquis of the Ankenrein Empire, and receive more than 2,000 acres of land, an honorary allowance of 1,000 crowns per year, and a mansion of more than 2,000 square meters. He also left a cheque for $1,000 to fund the trade unions. Caber Luya excused himself a few times, but in the end he still kept it.

It only takes one vote and one signature to get all this, from a penniless worker who almost died to a famous nobleman at the top of society. Enjoy a life that he never dared to dream of in the first half of his life.

Caber Luya was tempted.

——————————————

In the evening, Pierre Carel came to visit and brought with him an acquaintance of Caber Luya, Matthew Wilson, the liaison of the Workers' Party of the Republic of Negro.

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty of coming to the door."

Before he could sit down, Pierre Carrell sent his most sincere apology. He sat across from Matthew Wilson and Caber Luya, and Stella sat across from each other after making tea.

"Mr. Carell is here this time, but about voting?"

Caber Luya was a little tired, the events of yesterday and today made his brain, which had not yet fully adapted to the way the upper class dealt with problems, a little tired, and he chose a more direct way, wanting to see the other party's chips.

"Exactly," Carell still unhurried, "now that winter is approaching, we have reclaimed most of Tulucas, crushed the more than 200,000 troops of the Ankenriin Empire, their western theater of operations has been largely broken up by us, Paul Gibson is recruiting more soldiers, but we are also producing more weapons. The current battle has proved that our industrial capacity is fully capable of suppressing Ankenrein's numerical superiority, and by the spring of next year, we will be able to complete the entire equipment of six armies and more than 180,000 men, and form an absolute superiority over Ankenrein. Mr. Luya, if you play cards, you will know that no matter how many allies you have, if the opponent only has one pair of kings left, you will lose no matter what, right? ”

"We can't tell these things, after all, Prince Dawn Gibson said that they will launch a new counteroffensive soon, and at the same time, your casualties will not be much less than theirs."

"That's what I'm here for, I'm not here to support us in the upcoming meeting, I'm just hoping that you'll support a proposal that's about to be made-"

Caber Luya's reaction seemed to be completely unexpected by Carell, who still smiled softly and threw out a new plan.

"—The proposal would suggest that your country be asked to send a military observer mission to examine the actual situation on the front lines between our country and Ankenrein to see who had lied. After that, I believe that your country will naturally have a correct judgment. ”

After saying this, Carell picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and fell silent. Matthew Wilson bowed slightly, adding new conditions.

"If your party is willing to support such a proposal, we will hand over to you the exclusive agent of the Fragrance City perfume in your country as a long-term sponsorship of the Labour Union."

Hearing this condition, Stella exclaimed slightly. Just as Tick Arpels is in the world of clothing, the fragrances of the City of Fragrances are at the top of the world of perfumery. Being able to represent such a product will allow the trade union party to receive a stable and huge income.

Hearing such conditions, Caber Luya also smiled. Instead of answering the other party's offer, he began to ask Carell and Wilson about the experience of the Workers' Party. Carell and Wilson seemed to have forgotten what they had said before, and they talked and laughed like old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.

Outside the window, only the autumn locust with branches left was naked, pointing straight to the gray sky.
