Chapter 199: Imperial Council (Part II)

The man who suddenly stood up was none other than the guy Ront hated the mostβ€”Ron.

There was a commotion in the conference hall, but it quickly subsided, and the nobles were in fact watching the situation with the mentality of watching the show.

Without speaking, both old men were used to eye contact.

"What do you want to do, Ron!"

"Don't worry, I'm not against you!" Ron actually smiled kindly, turned his gaze to Kent, the speaker of the podium, and said, "I just want to announce a piece of news, and it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's issue." ”

What news does he want to announce?

The prime minister didn't understand, and all the nobles didn't understand either, but Hua Long understood a little, and he kept saying that it had nothing to do with the prime minister's issue, but in fact it should have an important relationship, but what kind of news was it? What kind of news could shake the prime minister's issue? Could it be ......

Hua Long gave the answer in his heart.

The nobles who sat in their respective positions began to exchange words with each other, and they also showed great interest in this so-called news.

Then!

"I want to hear from the marshal. An officer-like man shouted.

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

β€œ......”

Soon, in the circular conference hall, similar sounds sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and there was a tendency to flood.

Ron glanced at the prime minister with a slight hint of interest, as if asking: How about it, you won't object, right?

The Prime Minister who wanted to refute it had no choice, after all, it was obviously a very unknown move to cause public anger at such a time, but the Prime Minister also thought of another level, that is, to let Ron try to show his intentions as much as possible. I want to see what this old viper has in mind.

Seeing that the prime minister was back in his seat, Kent had to say, "Then let's invite Marshal Ron to the stage first." ”

It's not a matter of a year or two that Ron admires Rongte, in the past confrontations, he always loses more and wins less, and even if he wins, he does not gain too much benefit in many cases.

Still beware of the prime minister's tricks.

The two old men had their own ghosts and walked slowly towards victory and defeat, of course, they did not know what awaited them until the road reached the end.

Perhaps out of respect for Kent, Ron gave the retired marshal a very solemn courtesy before stepping up to the podium, which was rare in the past, but his action was affirmed by many soldiers, and some nobles also gave high praise.

What a lowly trick to win people's hearts! The prime minister's teeth itched angrily, because what Ron had just done was exactly what he wanted to do, and now that he was one step ahead, it would be completely uninteresting to do it again.

Seeing the prime minister's deep and bland reaction, Hua Long on the side still felt something in addition to admiration, such as the prime minister's fist clenched tightly, which showed that he must be very nervous.

I really hope that this old man is an ordinary person, then I will also serve him well, it's just that Hua Long's wish is good, but the reality is just the opposite, the ordinary old man in this wish is a first-class minister of the court who holds great power.

The chamber fell silent again, and the nobles all focused their eyes on Ron.

Tension wafts from all corners!

To show off, Ron glanced at the Prime Minister again before announcing his news, and then entered his topic, "All of you, would you like to see the war coming?" Ron's voice was like a magnetic megaphone, so that everyone in the audience could hear it clearly.

"War? Is he talking about war?"

"He asked us if we wanted to see war?"

β€œ......”

The nobles whispered in private. But in fact, there is nothing to discuss, after all, there are nearly a thousand high-class people who represent the interests of the aristocracy, and eighty percent of them do not want to see war, nor do they want to see war happen, and among these people, soldiers also account for a large part. For them, enjoying life is more important than anything else.

"Of course not!" someone replied aloud, and his words were immediately met with pandering.

Ron suddenly smiled, "What if I told everyone that the war between our Cold Moon Empire and the Fire Empire has reached the point where it is on the verge of breaking out......"

Before he could finish his words, the commotion had already erupted......

These pleasure-hungry nobles were worried at the moment, their faces were afraid, and they looked like the end of the world, and even the nobles were frightened and screamed on the spot.

"Everyone, everyone, ......" Seeing the effect, Ron waved his hands at the right time and signaled everyone to be quiet, "Don't be surprised, it's not like there is no solution." ”

Your solution is nothing more than to get everyone to stop supporting arms purchases! Damn old thing! The prime minister sat there silent, but the anger had turned his already pale face unhealthily bloody.

He was still waiting, because he knew he had to wait.

"Is there a way to fix it?"

"Can war be avoided?"

"People need peace!"

β€œ......”

"Yes!" Hawke's face brightened, "You should know that recently, our Cold Moon Empire and the Fire Empire have been in repeated conflicts over tariffs, and several small-scale confrontations have broken out on the border as a result, and in the Sandra Sea, the warships of the Fire Empire even openly shelled our Sand Harbor, and our fleet immediately retaliated against the Fire Empire's floating wave port, and the accumulation of these things accelerated the pace of war. Ron's expression immediately became heavy, "Many of you here should remember the war twenty years ago, hundreds of thousands of generals and nearly a million innocent people lost their lives in the war......

At this, Ron feigned sadness, and his actions once again infected the nobles.

"We don't want war!"

"Peace!

β€œ......”

Someone shouted at the right time, which made the Prime Minister feel that Ron's performance was almost a farce.

"This is a good opportunity!" After a few breaths, Ron changed his previous decadent demeanor, and said firmly and confidently: "Duke Nax Mersoni, Prime Minister of the Fire Empire, recently wrote a letter!" Speaking of this, he took out the letter, took a paragraph from it, and said: "In recent years, there have been many conflicts on the border, on behalf of the Fire Empire and Your Majesty, I would like to express my regret to your country, and at the same time hope to get along with your country in friendship, my country will abide by the Sandra Convention, and your country will never stop the war!"

At the same time, the nobles present immediately cheered.

"The Prime Minister of the Fire Empire has put down his posture and is willing to live in peace with our Cold Moon Empire, but ......" Ron suddenly turned his attention to the Prime Minister at this time, his move was obviously calculated in advance, in order to embarrass the Prime Minister, in fact, his goal has been achieved.

The aristocrats began to disagree with the prime minister, and the arguments seemed to regard him as the mastermind of the war.

Whoever donates money to you means who wants to see the war, is there such a stupid nobleman in the Cold Moon Empire? Ron has already determined the victory in his heart, but he has to act in a full set.

On the other hand, the prime minister sitting there, he has ......

Trembling with anger!

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Hua Long handed the tea to him.

The prime minister smiled, "It's okay, it's okay. Putting the tea aside, he held Hua Long's hand tightly with one hand, Hua Long could feel that the rough hand was very hot and sweating a lot.

Then!

"Uncle. "Kefer is back.

"How?" asked the Prime Minister eagerly. At this time, the only people who can save the defeat are the dukes of the two major consortia, as long as they come forward, everything will return to the track they expected, but Kefer's expression made Prime Minister Rongte's mood fall to the bottom again.

"Their housekeepers all said they had been out for a few days. ”

β€œ......”

"Grandpa, this is my father, I want to pass it on to you, he will vote for a while......" Hua Long put the package given by Count Onno into the hands of Prime Minister Rongte.

At this moment, the prime minister's hand suddenly became cold.

He kept his head down and didn't speak for a long time.

Will he just give up? Hua Long knew that he would not give up, but in the face of such a defeat, what other way could this old man, whom he called "grandpa", have to bring the dead back to life?

If it is replaced by oneself, there should be a solution, and that is......

......

On the podium, Ron gave full play to the sensational speeches and frenzied agitation, he was like a leader, constantly changing the amplitude of his arms, adjusting his tone and tone back and forth, in short, he felt that this was the most enjoyable moment of his life, as if he was announcing his victory, and of course the nobles listened to the crowd with great emotion, and cheered when they were excited.

"Can we make a hostile stupid move in the face of the Flame Empire, which is making friendly gestures?"

"Can't!"

"Can't!"

β€œ......”

"Well, how can we express our goodwill and desire for peace?"

For this question, the nobles naturally did not know how to answer, so there was silence for a while!

Ron immediately continued: "I advise Your Majesty to give up military purchases, or divide the military supplies equally with the Fire Empire!" As soon as this sentence came out, the already quiet conference hall was even quieter and terrifying, as for why, it was not difficult to explain. It is gold coins and the army that protect the rights and interests of the aristocracy, once the army is weakened, then it will inevitably pose a threat to the country, the country is finished, and the title of the nobility is just an ornament, so for what Ron said about giving up military purchases, the nobles showed an unexpected calm.

"What if the Fire Empire attacks us?" asked a nobleman.

"Why is the Fire Empire attacking us?" Ron asked rhetorically.

The man also asked, "Why won't the Fire Empire attack us?"

In normal times, Ron might grit his teeth in anger, but today he laughed, "Okay! I'll answer your question." There are several reasons why the Fire Empire will not attack our Cold Moon Empire, first of all, there is a peace treaty between the two countries, in addition, the internal contradictions of the Fire Empire are fierce, the new forces led by Marshal Rumhis and the hawkish Duke Nax and others have deep grievances, and the purchase of armaments will only lead to a large-scale civil war between the two factions, even if a civil war does not break out, the Fire Empire with this armament is still not the opponent of our Cold Moon Empire, after all, our Cold Moon Empire has twelve actual combat legions, more than 200,000 border guards, two Sandra Sea fleets, more than 400 warships, a fleet in the Sea of Heavenly Spirits, and nearly 200 large warships, but what about the Fire Empire, but only two small fleets, the total number of soldiers is only hundreds of thousands......"

Ron's words were pure fart, but the nobles were clearly very useful and happy to hear the numbers that were favorable to the Cold Moon Empire.

"Giving up armaments to the Flame Empire can divide them, and it's good for us!" someone before shouted again, a typical one!

"That's right, there is a convention, they won't fight us!"

"That's right, I support Marshal Ron!"

"I support it too!"

After smirking a hundred times, Ron politely bowed to the crowd, then nodded to Kent to signal that his speech was over.

"Then now the Prime Minister will come to power. Kent looked at Ron's back with a melancholy look and muttered, "What the hell is wrong with him?"

"Uncle?"

The Prime Minister, who had been bowing his head and silent, stood up and took a deep breath as he slowly walked up the steps leading to the podium, while Ron was walking down step by step.

The two stopped at the same time on the same step.

"I'd love to see your performance, Junte!"
