The air became stagnant, and the eyes of Honduras fell on Li Tomb's slowly clenched fist, his eyelids jumped, and his spirit condensed, waiting for Li Tomb's imminent possible move.

Li Tomb looked at Honduras's eyes, his gaze was calm, but it seemed to be pregnant with a volcano, which could erupt at any time, his right hand that clenched his fist, released and clenched, and after repeating it several times, he finally let go completely, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned to go upstairs, "Uncle Lin, send off guests." ”

Honduras laughed proudly, laughed uncontrollably, and under Lin Yanzhi's angry gaze, Yang Chang walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he pretended to be unruly and shouted, "What Li tomb, what tyrant." But that's it. Ha ha! ”

Amid the laughter, Honduras got into the car and walked away.

Li Tomb returned to his study, sat in front of the fireplace, picked up the unfinished book just now, looked at the words on the third line of the seventh page for a moment, his face was expressionless, he casually threw the book into the fireplace, the fireworks burned, he stood up, walked into his bedroom, quietly closed his eyes, and entered the world of source code.

The fire of the fireplace was blazing, and the pages of the scroll, glowing with sparks, were mottled with a faint inscription that God must first make him arrogant if he wants to destroy him......

Honduras was arrogant, and at this moment he was irrepressibly even more arrogant when he retreated from the house in Lee's tomb and walked away.

Before coming to the Muller Federation, he had carefully studied the information of Li Tomb, and he believed that Li Tomb was a very good person who could judge the situation and choose patience when Li Tomb had no capital, and when Li Tomb had a little capital, he would be extremely decisive.

So he was very satisfied with the results of this contact with Li Tomb today, and he could feel Li Tomb's anger. But Li Tomb chose patience, which made him think that Li Tomb thought that he could not overcome him, so he could only choose patience.

Of course, this is normal, Li Tomb is just a new earl, naturally it is impossible to defeat him, he confirms this. But I still want to make another confirmation.

He doesn't fight uncertain battles, because he has already decided to fight with Li Tomb for control of the Muller Federation, and he naturally needs to understand his opponent.

No matter how much information he had before he came, it was one-sided, and he didn't make it clear that he had tried it personally, but it was a pity that Li Tomb chose to be patient and didn't make a move, otherwise he could have a clearer judgment on Li Tomb's strength.

But this is nothing, since Li Tomb doesn't dare to do it directly with him, then there is nothing to worry about. Honduras sneered in his heart. Throw away the analysis report that the fall of Winster may have been the work of Li Tomb, and threw it into the garbage heap.

Now he doesn't need this kind of analysis report, because he already has his own judgment, although he didn't really make a move with Li Tomb, but just the momentum in that short period of time just now, he already has his own answer.

There was no need to pay more attention to the new earl of Tomb Lee, and his focus could be shifted to his real task.

But there is one more person to consider, Lin Youde, this is an opponent worth treating with caution. But it doesn't matter. Lin Youde should never have become the deputy envoy of the envoys, even if it was only in name. He also doesn't have that qualification to command Lin Youde.

But with this identity, he wants to do something, and Lin Youde is not qualified to object. justifiably, using the righteousness of the republic to suppress Lin Youde, this kind of method, he will not be too unfamiliar with it.

"So. Get ready. Start contacting those on the list, in the evening, we need a big banquet. ”

Honduras snapped its fingers and hid its body in its seat.

……

Barton was in his study, finishing a few papers. I was stunned for a while on the report on the repeal of the procession ordinance, but I still didn't think about whether to sign it.

In the end, he could only suppress the report, and leaned back in his chair a little tired, and in less than a month, he seemed to be thirty years old.

There were so many thoughts boiling in his head, he wanted to roar, he wanted to vent, but in the end he could only turn into a sigh and close his eyes, as if he were asleep.

After a while, he heard the sound of tiptoeing footsteps, the expected moccasin heels, and he didn't open his eyes, but said, "Is there any bad news again?" ”

"Maybe now only you and me in the entire federation will think that the good news on the front line is bad news."

Sam looked down at Barton and sighed, "You're so tired. You should find a time to get some rest. ”

"I'll talk about that later. Let's talk about how the battle is going on the front. ”

Barton shook his head, sat up straight, and opened his eyes, his gaze blazing, not angry.

"Three hours ago, the First Fleet, the Third Fleet encountered the Imperial Fleet at Kanmen, and the battle lasted two and a half hours, annihilating thirty-seven Imperial warships, the First Fleet lost three battleships, and the Third Fleet lost five ships. Specific casualty reports will be delivered for a while. But in terms of battleship casualties, there is no doubt that we have won again. ”

Sam spoke slowly, placing the good news from the front in front of Barton.

Barton flipped through it silently and smiled bitterly, "So, I need to sign the award order again." ”

"And the list of the dead......"

Sam reminded.

"What do you mean, you say?"

Patton put down the report and looked at Sam, "He brought the war to us, but he didn't ask, let me do everything." Should I thank him, or should I hate him? ”

"I don't know."

Sam was also a little confused, "Maybe we're just a useful pawn for him." ”

"You know what? Sometimes I want to pick a son, what bullshit wins, what bullshit awards, I just want to end this war right away! But I can't...... I want to oppose him, I want to refute him, tell him that the Union does not need war. Three trillion Federalists should not be sacrificed in an unnecessary war for his personal gain. ”

Barton's tone became bitter, "But I don't dare." Not because I was afraid of him, but because I knew that it had come to an end and what I should do. ”

"We hate this war, but in the end we can only sit here and help him deal with everything about this war, and maintain this war to continue to win."

"We should have been against him, but we became his accomplices. Sam, tell me, did we do it right or wrong? ”

Sam was silent for a long time before he spoke, "As long as we remember, we do everything for the good of the Federation." This war has already begun and cannot be stopped, so even if we resent him, hate him, and oppose him, we can only support him, because none of us can afford the price of losing the war. ”

"Sometimes I can understand his thoughts, a pure patriot, is always easy to grasp, even if we don't want to, don't want to, but he is holding the country all the way forward, we can't and dare to pull his hind legs. Maybe that's what makes us feel uncomfortable. ”

"We know that he is not doing right, not doing well, but we can't change it, but we can only keep making up for his loopholes, because we love this country more than him."

"Noble is the epitaph of the noble, meanness is the passport of the mean. Sometimes, I really wish you could be mean, and in that case, maybe our hearts will feel better. ”

"It's a pity that your conscience won't allow it, and so will I."

Sam said bitterly, in fact, everyone understood that Li Tomb actually didn't believe them at all, and they couldn't be loyal to Li Tomb.

But the thing is so strange, these disloyal people actually work harder than anyone else to support Li Tomb, because they love this country, and they love it very deeply.

"I'm just scared, I'm wrong to do this. It's not scary to fall into the water, it's scary to stay in the water. ”

Patton muttered in a low voice, "We all know the current situation, once the fleets of the Black Prison Empire and the Hanyue Empire enter the war, it is impossible for us to win this war. Even if the ASEAN side fully supports us, it is only the people of the Federation who will be sacrificed. The future I saw was bloody and devastated, but I couldn't find a way to stop. ”

"I know that I am drinking to quench my thirst, but I can only keep persevering. Sam, I really can't make it up. ”

"So I brought another piece of news. You might want to hear it. ”

Sam's gaze became solemn, "The Honduran ambassador of the Sujin Republic has just left his estate, and according to sources, this ambassador is very dissatisfied with him. Moreover, I received an invitation from this ambassador that there is a banquet in the evening, and maybe we should go and see it. ”

"There's nothing we can do to stop him, but there will always be someone in this world who can stop him. A republic might be a good choice. ”

Sam looked at Barton and whispered.

Barton fell silent, his eyes flickering, "Do you think I should make this choice?" ”

"I don't know, but the worst-case scenario should be worse than burying the Federation with him. So, I thought I could give it a try. ”

"I have also been inquired that the Ambassador of Honduras is a subordinate of His Excellency Gibran of the Republic, who in the Coalition Parliament has always been inclined to keep peace with the Western Treaty. If anyone can stop this war, maybe he will be a good choice. ”

"Are you saying that I should betray the interests of the Federation in exchange for a possible peace?"

Patton's tone was a little difficult.

"It depends on whether the price of peace is more acceptable than war."

Sam said, "Actually, all the causes of the war now are because of the new river system. If possible, we will hand over the new river system in exchange for peace. ”

"In fact, as far as the reality is concerned, the new river system is no longer bringing benefits to the Federation, but war. That's just his interest, and the Federation shouldn't be left to bear the cost. ”

"I think I get what you mean. Then prepare. Let's go and see it together in the evening. (To be continued......)
