Episode 4 The conquest of Kopo Province
In the face of Lin Da's sudden movement, Bai Yu did not make any abnormal moves, calmly letting the golden light shine on her, and to her surprise, this pillar of light did not bring her any discomfort. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I've lifted the ban that was left on you, and we don't need to control you anymore. But I'm still leaving a mark on you, after all, with your current status, it's not easy for us to let you move freely in Guiguo. I want you to stay here for the time being, and don't leave here yet, and I'll pass on to my companions what you just said, and I'll come back to you when we have a new decision. Linda said to Bai Yu with a hint of sincere apology on her face.
"I understand, thank you Master Lin for your care!" Bai Yu nodded very obediently and bowed to Lin Da again, and then slowly closed the door.
Seeing that Bai Yu had completely closed the door, Lin Da couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then strode towards the lounge.
"How is it? What did she tell you?" Tang Long asked with a wicked smile as soon as he saw Lin Da come out.
"It scares you when you say it. Lin Da looked at Tang Long's grinning expression and said deliberately exaggeratedly.
"What?!She confessed to you?!" What was even more unexpected for Lin Da, Tang Long actually exclaimed. Since advancing to the Dan Realm, perhaps because he felt that he had been stable in Gui Kingdom, Tang Long had returned to his previous habit of joking, and his ridicule of Lin Da had become more and more explicit.
Lin Da hurriedly shook his head and said the content of the conversation with Bai Yu just now. After listening, Tang Long, who was still grinning just now, began to become serious.
"So, this princess wants us to help her restore the country? Linda, this is a big deal! We have just stabilized the whole country, and now we have a lot of things to do, how can we have the energy to take care of the affairs of other countries?"
"You have a point. Anyway, now we're going to have to talk to Arden and Connell and get everyone together to talk about it, after all, it's a good opportunity. Linda thought for a moment and decided.
So, after Lin Da explained to the prison director the order to treat Bai Yu well and let him move freely within a certain range, he flew away with Tang Long. In fact, there was no need for Lin Da to explain, and the prison warden didn't dare to make things difficult for Bai Yu, as soon as he heard that Bai Yu had been lifted by Lin Da, he felt extremely nervous. After all, Bai Yu was a powerful cultivator who had reached the late stage of the Dan Realm, and even Tang Long was not necessarily her opponent, and the ordinary prison warden who cultivated would certainly not dare to take the initiative to provoke.
Soon, at the headquarters of the Blue Star Clan in Guizhong City, the Standing Committee of the Blue Star Clan Convention held a meeting again, and fiercely discussed Bai Yu's proposal to help restore the country.
"There is no doubt that this is a good opportunity! We can use this to capture Ransho Island in one fell swoop, attack the Kopu Kingdom, and kill this guy from the Black Wind King!" Schroeder immediately enthusiastically supported as soon as he heard that there was a reason for going to war. He has always been extremely indignant at the previous massacre in Mashan Town by the pirates of Ranjiao Island, and he is bent on avengering this shame, if it weren't for the fact that he only has the peak cultivation of the late stage of the realm, he would have personally led the troops to settle the score.
"Yes, I agree! The previous battle of the Reef Sea has proved that our navy can completely defeat the navy of the country of Koura, and we have an absolute advantage in this regard!" said Modern, who was also vengeful as Schroeder, immediately.
As the commander-in-chief of the navy, he remembered very deeply the previous incident of the Kaura Navy's sneak attack on the Republic of China's naval fleet, and this fiasco, like the Mashan tragedy, became an important fuse for the Republic of China's declaration of war on the Kaura State.
Schroeder and Modern were not low in prestige and status in the convention, and the two of them expressed their support, and many people immediately agreed, and the opinion of sending troops to Kopu immediately prevailed.
But there are those who support it, and of course there are those who oppose it. For the first time, Prime Minister Connell raised an objection: "Gentlemen, do you think it is so easy to fight a war? Now that the entire Blue Star Country is in ruins, and it needs to invest so much money, manpower, and material resources in all kinds of construction, how can it still have the strength to fight another war? We have already spent a lot of money on sending troops to fight a war in the reef and sea! The state treasury has already run short, and now we still want to start a war, and I don't know how much money it will take! I oppose this opinion. ”
Sonia and the others immediately supported Connell's opinion, and of course Bizet and Leo. Although these three were also members of the five-member research team of the Alien Energy at the beginning, after coming to the Otherworld, they have been in charge of management and scientific research, and rarely participate in battles. After experiencing many battles since being recruited by the Li clan and participating in the formation of the Fan Army by the Blue Star Autonomous Regiment, he is even more tired and disgusted with the war. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, in addition to general cultivation, the three of them have devoted their main energy to management and scientific research.
The two main and anti-war factions, led by Schroeder and Connell respectively, launched a heated debate, and neither could convince anyone for a while. Only a few people in the venue, such as Arden and Linda, were silent, and Linda kept meditating with her eyes closed, as if she had something on her mind.
"Alright, everyone, please be quiet!" Seeing that the venue was really noisy, Arden, as the president of the convention council, finally couldn't help but stop.
"Guys, there's no point in arguing like this! Why don't you verify the accuracy of this news first?! If that Bai Yu is telling a lie, aren't we busy in vain?!"
Arden was thoughtful enough to ask such a question. As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly fell silent, and even Linda opened his eyes and showed a thoughtful look. If Arden's suspicion is true, then their discussion will be meaningless, and it is more likely that it is a huge conspiracy.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Arden asked Danny, who was fiddling with a homemade computer alone, "Danny, you have collected a lot of information about the country of Jiapu, talk about your analysis, how many layers of what this Bai Yu said are true?"
Although Danny was the director of intelligence, his interest was more in doing specific scientific research, such as the pile of electronic components he now fiddles with, which is a primitive computer that he began to make after the founding of the country. Due to various constraints, he is not able to build a real computer yet, but he believes that in the near future, Danny will definitely make a real computer. By that time, the Blue Star Country will also definitely enter the electronic age.
So, almost all of Danny's energy was put into the computer in front of him, and even in the conference hall, he didn't forget to bring his work. But everyone else knew what Danny was up to, and they didn't feel anything wrong with him doing so.
Hearing Arden's question, Danny raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, according to the information we have gathered during this time, Kopo Country did have such a history. However, the Black Wind King is very afraid of people mentioning the past history, probably because he doesn't want people to know that he is a usurper... All the published books portray the former king as incompetent and cowardly, greedy and corrupt, bringing the country to the brink of ruin... Well, it's this very old-fashioned way of discrediting the former dynasty... As for Lai Xima himself, he is naturally promoted as a figure like a hero who saves the country... You can all guess these things. ”
"And the princess of the former dynasty... That Bai Yu was right, she was indeed the princess of Kopo Country. However, according to the public propaganda of Kopo Province, Hakuha voluntarily relinquished the throne to Raisima, and was willing to serve as the commander under him because of the survival of the country. Regardless of whether she was voluntary or not, at least, what Bai Yu said was roughly right. With that, Danny continued to fiddle with his computer with his head down, ignoring nothing.
After listening to Danny's report, everyone was relieved. Arden said, "Well, since the situation is true, this suggestion of Bai Yu is worth considering. Think about it, this Bai Yu must have a deep contradiction with Lai Xima, as a princess of the previous dynasty, it is impossible for her not to have a little heart for restoration. Since she has made a request for the restoration of the country with the help of our strength, it is possible that this is true. ”
"Now, if we don't support her request for reinstatement. But if we choose to support, the benefits we get are clear. First of all, we can get a powerful alliance, and the country is not a small country, but it is still a very large market, and if the two countries have good relations, this will be extremely beneficial to China's economic development in the future! Second, we can also use this to open the door to the sea, and the scope of our activities will be able to expand to the South Seas, which will be very beneficial to the country in the long run! But in the same way, the risk of doing so is indeed not small, the price that the Blue Star Country needs to pay to intervene in a war again is definitely not small, and there are also many Xiuzhen troops in the Jiapu Country, and there is also a strong person in the infant realm, which is not so easy to conquer. ”
Arden did not make a decision, but simply analyzed the pros and cons, and the real decision still had to be decided by the vote of everyone. However, his analysis once again caused a heated debate among the crowd, and looking at the venue that had become noisy again, the always calm Arden did not feel a frown.
"Everyone, please listen to me!" A voice with mana fluctuations suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, sounding clear to the ear, and swept away everyone's troubles caused by the controversy. The voice was made by Linda, who saw him holding a bell-shaped magic vessel in one hand, looking at everyone kindly.
"Linda, what magic weapon did you use to infect us again?" Tang Long asked curiously as he looked at the bell-shaped magic weapon in Lin Da's hand.
Linda smiled, and while putting away the magic weapon, he said, "This is the Ning Xin Bell, a sonic magic weapon specially used to calm people's hearts and resist the intrusion of magic sounds. Hehe, I'm really sorry to interrupt everyone's discussion, but I also saw that everyone was fighting a little too much, and I was a little presumptuous to cast spells on everyone!"
"It's okay, we were a little excited just now, you did a good job. Connell said to Linda, and at the same time smiled at Schroeder on the other side, just now the two of them had the most fierce fight, but fortunately Linda made a timely move, which subsided the anger of the two in time.
"Well, Linda, you must have some good idea of doing this, don't you?" said Arden, knowing that Linda had something to say, kindly. When everyone heard this, they immediately focused their eyes on Linda.
Linda nodded, and then said: "Everyone, whether we support Bai Yu's restoration or refuse this matter, we are all for the sake of national interests. But I personally think that helping Bai Yu recover the country is more beneficial to our Blue Star Country!"
Hearing Linda's statement, some people immediately smiled slightly, while others frowned.
"I also know how much risk and cost we will have if we get involved in the internal affairs of Kopo, which is really unaffordable for our current national strength. But we can't pass up this great opportunity. I don't think we need to send troops to Kopo immediately, but we will gradually realize this as a national strategy. ”
"As Prime Minister Kang Nai said, the country is in ruins, and our national strength is limited. But we must not pass up such an opportunity. I feel that we can slowly subvert the rule of the Black Wind King through infiltration just like we did with the Gui Clan and the Four Clans Alliance. ”
"The reason why the Black Wind King didn't dare to touch Bai Yu is because she must still have a lot of forces in the country of Kopo that supported the previous dynasty, and we can completely get in touch with these forces secretly and support their development and growth. At the same time, we can also secretly develop our power in the country of Kopo, install all kinds of people and ears, and use various means to rebel and divide all strata of the country. The reign of the Black Wind King is based on the maintenance of the rule of lies and violence, and we only need to tell the truth to the people, so that the oppressed mortals and other people at the bottom can see a glimmer of hope for a better life, then we have a good chance of success. ”
"When the opposition of the people reaches a certain climate, and the foundation of the Black Wind King's rule is shaken, then we will secretly launch all kinds of uprisings and riots, and turn the general trend of the whole country in our favor. At that time, we will kill the Kopo country in the name of supporting the eldest princess of the previous dynasty, Bai Yu, with clear evidence, as long as we can kill the Black Wind King, then Bai Yu can regain the dominance of the Kopo country, and our plan will be very successful!"
