Chapter 120: Coup? (Above)

Openly questioning whether the Rex family should exist.

Such a topic is undoubtedly too shocking, and for a while, all the heirs of the wealthy families did not have the courage to speak out, making this empty hall filled with an extremely oppressive silence.

And as Edmund, who has already expressed his support? Wood and Feige? Adams, at the moment, nervously clenched his fingers, remained silent in the emotions of regret and anticipation, and silently waited for fate to come.

"Everyone~"

Maybe it's because he thinks the atmosphere is too depressing, and Robert with a handsome ponytail? Rockefeller suddenly got up, picked up the glass of wine that had been tasted before, and drank it all in an abrupt gulp.

Then, in the astonished and surprised eyes of everyone, Robert? Rockefeller turned his head to look at Ansel: "Mr. Ansel, I admit that there is some truth in your argument. But it cannot be denied that the Rex family is the creator of the Federation. To this day, in the square of the Alpha Planet Capitol building, Alexander is still erected? A huge bronze statue of Rex. It is the symbol of the Federation, and the citizens of the Federation have looked up to it for too long, and it has even become an instinct of the people. Therefore, even if the Rex family has no meaning to exist, it will definitely continue to exist, no one can change it, and those who act recklessly will destroy the Federation. ”

Robert? Although Rockefeller's statement was abrupt, it was mixed with deep meaning.

His drinking of the wine represented his personal support for Ansel's views, but his subsequent words implicitly expressed the great influence of the Rex family in the Federation, and warned Ansel not to act rashly, otherwise it would cause great disaster.

Looking at Robert with appreciation? Rockefeller, Anse El smiled and nodded in agreement.

Robert? Rockefeller was right, although the Rex family did not control any of the lifeblood industries of the Federation, its influence on the Federation was the largest among the ten giants. In the Federation, no one can deny the merits of the Rex family, and as the founder of the Federation, Alexander? Rex was even revered as the Father of the Nation by the citizens of the Federation. Rex's birthday is a legal holiday. In addition to this, in honor of Alexander? Rex, the Federal Congress, in the name of Alexander, even set up a medal to be awarded to individuals who have a pioneering spirit and have made outstanding contributions to the Federation.

Through this endless process, the successors of the Rex family continued to elevate Alexander's historical status, shaping the greatest leader of the Rex family into the spiritual leader of the Commonwealth people. So, as long as the huge bronze statue that stands in Democracy Square has not fallen, the Rex family will never be replaced.

And all along, the leaders of the other nine wealthy families are not unable to see through the small tricks played by the Rex family, but because of the authority of the Rex family, they have to cooperate with the successor of the Rex family to play this boring political game, and silently offer political donations, and continue to support the unshakable political status of the Rex family.

"Yes, no one can erase Alexander? Rex's exploits. But that doesn't mean Dawson? Rex and his son Claire? Rex has the same prestige. Anse Elle paused, and suddenly changed his tone: "I don't know if any of you here have been to the Hoffman Empire?" ”

“……”

Everyone was still pondering the meaning of Ansel's previous words, and at this moment, when they heard Ansel suddenly divert the topic to the head of the Hoffman Empire, they couldn't help but raise their heads in surprise at the same time, guessing what Ansel wanted to do.

"I've been to that country, and it's a beautiful and magical country, impressive." Simon who has always been very low-key? DuPont suddenly pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied aloud.

"I went there a few years ago, but my memories are not good, it was a country of barbarian monarchs, and there, I even had to kneel to the nobles there." Cyrillic? Byron looked at Ansel with a gloomy face, got up and asked, "Mr. Ansel, I think the time for guessing should end here, just tell your purpose." You want a coup d'état, do you? ”

“……”

As soon as Cyril's words came out, everyone immediately sighed.

In fact, when everyone agreed to go to the banquet, they had basically guessed the general intention of Ansel, but so far everyone had just ordered it. But I didn't expect it, Cyril? Byron actually pointed out this taboo word directly on such an occasion.

Staring at Cyril with a meaningful gaze? Byron, Ansel suddenly laughed lightly and said loudly: "Before talking about this topic, I want to talk about the Hoffman Empire. ”

"Ten years ago, Mr. Eugene and I went to the Hoffman Empire. As Mr. Simon and Mr. Cyril said, it was a beautiful and magical country. But it was a kingdom that humiliated us. There, we were treated unjustly, and there it was taken for granted that the lowly knelt down to the high. However, if we put aside our personal grievances, if we were to stand in the position of a high-ranking person, that kind of situation is actually very desirable, and I think all of you here have had the same thoughts as me, and yearn to become a true nobleman. ”

The moment Ansel's words fell, the eyes of the young people present suddenly revealed a strange heat. They are all the children of wealthy families born with golden keys in their mouths, and they are born with a desire to enjoy that sense of superiority. And in the Commonwealth, in this democracy, their position is limited by the will of the people, which prevents them from enjoying their nobility as freely as the real aristocracy of the old days.

As Ansel said, the plebeians would yearn for democracy and justice, but the aristocracy would never think so. Everyone present had envied the real nobles of the old era, and had the luxury of hoping that their family would be able to follow for hundreds of generations. And Ansel's words happened to ignite the ** hidden in their hearts, causing a heavy gasp to sound in this quiet and empty hall.

"Mr. Ansel, are you planning to abandon democracy and make the Federation a ** imperial state?" Olier? Morgan was the first to ask, among the major giants, the Morgan family, which controls the financial industry, is the most ambitious family except for the Osveld family, which can be seen from the Morgan family's daring to offend the Hoffman Empire and invade the Barnard system. So, after Anse Air threw out the topic, Olier? Morgan was also the first to respond.

"Mr. Olier, do you think this is possible? Is it possible for the Federation, which was founded with democracy as its main purpose, to complete such a transformation right away? Anse El smiled contemptuously.

"Immediately?" Robert? Rockefeller keenly grasped the word and immediately read the subtext of Anse El .

"Tell me about your plans, Mr. Ansel, I'm starting to get some interest." Robert? Rockefeller shook the beautiful little jacket on his body and smiled: "You see, I have always been an admirer of retro ideas. ”

"Yes, I think everyone in this room does." Anse El paced back and forth from crowd to crowd, and said in a highly contagious tone: "In the primeval times, the ancient Roman philosopher Marcus? Tulius? Cicero had argued that democracy cannot be without, but that democracy must be limited. Personally, I couldn't agree more. It is often said that the truth is often in the hands of a few, but another implication of this cautionary saying is that the majority of people are in fact ignorant. Now, in a democracy like the Confederation, public opinion becomes ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
