Chapter 121: Robbery while the fire is on
Just when the kingdom of Hatland was in turmoil due to the change of royal power.
There are also many countries in the south of the continent that have undergone major or minor changes.
In the federal presidential palace in Chuck, a special meeting is also underway.
"In the Kingdom of Amusa, the prime minister was assassinated, and the royal family declared a state of martial law throughout the country. ”
"In the Duchy of Montero, the Grand Duke deposed his eldest son, replaced his third son as his heir, and announced the reorganization of the Duchy's military. ”
"The Duchy of Burnie, the royal family sold their money bags, Sassarian Power Industries.
The company, which provides nearly two-thirds of the royal family's revenue each year, was split into three parts and sold to different buyers. ”
"The Kingdom of Sako, the Golden Horde of Aliosa, and the Duchy of Demur issued a joint statement to hand over the funds and materials of the annual aid of the Astor Empire to the same company for management. ”
"Finally, there is the turmoil in the kingdom of Hartland. ”
It was Anne who spoke, and the projector in front of her displayed words and pictures, vividly showing the upheaval that was now taking place in the Holy Alliance countries in the South.
In addition to the President, the Minister of Defence, the Minister of National Security, and the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Industry, the President of the Federal Central Bank, and the presidents of the two Academies of Sciences, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, the Ministers of Finance, the Ministers of Industry, the Governors of the Federal Central Bank, and the Presidents of the two Academies of Sciences were among others.
It can be said that most of the top part of the entire federation is here.
Anne watched as everyone had digested the words and continued.
"Sir, all of these countries have one thing in common, that is, they are all beneficiaries of the Holy Alliance's Shemar aid program over the past few decades, and during this time, the Astor Empire has sent missions to these countries under various names. ”
"Minister Anne, do you mean that the changes in these countries were all provoked by the Astor Empire?"
Foreign Minister Xie Fei asked with a frown, their foreign ministry has recently received a lot of requests for assistance from these countries, and some federal citizens who travel or do business there have been more or less affected.
It's just that because of the hostile situation of the two alliances, the diplomatic forces deployed by the Federation there are almost negligible, so Xie Fei is also helpless about these aid applications.
"Minister Xie Fei. According to the information shared by the Liberty Radiance, as well as the information we have gathered ourselves, there is indeed the shadow of the empire behind these turmoil, and the three countries in which power has been replaced, killed or deposed are all their hardliners or neutrals, unwilling to live under the wings of the empire all the time.
And the Duchy of Bernie, don't look at the fact that they just sold a business, but this business is precisely the largest source of finance for their royal family, and the core part of this spun-off Thassarian power is also a business that has been sold to the empire. ”
Anne explained, pointing to the countries in the picture.
"Astor, who is known as the number one power in the sky, is so ruthless to his allies. Zhu Chenghua wiped his glasses and said with emotion.
In fact, in the glory of freedom, the Silver Eagle Republic often maintains a condescending attitude towards the various allies, but it looks better than the Empire.
He looked at Zhuge Wenxian, "Minister Zhuge , since this meeting was convened by you, then don't just let us listen to this." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, and the Ministers. Zhuge Wen stood up first and said where Anne was before, and said solemnly to everyone, "After our analysis, this major operation of the empire is aimed at integrating these countries in the south, and is to better confront the glory of freedom.
But this also shows that the alliance, like our side, is not ready for full development, and the two sides should maintain the current state of affairs until the integration is completely completed. It's just that as for why we used such urgent means in such a hurry, we are still investigating.
We have two main things for this meeting.
The first is to give you a warning, since the empire has begun to integrate the operation, then the Silver Eagle side will not be left behind, we need to make a plan in advance and start to prepare accordingly. ”
Zhuge Wenxian's words were recognized by everyone present, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central Bank, who have been angry in front of the Silver Eagle Republic over the years.
"As for the second thing, the turmoil in Hartland has also given us some opportunities, and I hereby apply to start the 'Rebellion' project. ”
As soon as Zhuge Wenxian finished speaking, the whole office was boiling, and the "prairie fire" he was talking about was an idea put forward by the then federal president after the Third Southwest War many years ago, aiming to carry out an all-round attack on Hartland's economy, industry, agriculture, science and technology, talents, and even the political system at a time of turmoil, so as to weaken its national strength as much as possible, and take the destruction of its country, the annexation of its land, and the collection of its people as the ultimate goal.
It's just that at that time, the Hartland received a lot of assistance from the Astor Empire, and the Federation was also a little powerless because of the war that had just ended, so this plan was sealed up to wait for a better time.
Over the years, Hartland has experienced three changes of power, but the first two times caused a small image, so no one in the Federation mentioned this plan again, but I didn't expect Zhuge Wen to emerge first today.
"Minister Zhuge are you sure that this is the right time? In the past two years, we and the Kingdom of Hartland have finally entered a period of stability, and rashly provoking incidents will have a great impact on the work of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future. ”
It was Xie Fei who was questioned by a well-known dovish representative within the federation who advocated a peaceful solution to the dispute between the two countries that had lasted for nearly a century.
Of course, this is not to say that he is an anti-war faction.
Under Xie Fei's chairmanship, the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always maintained a relaxed and measured work style, and it will neither show weakness to the outside world nor make other countries feel threatened.
This has also been well received by most people.
"Minister Xie, don't worry, I don't think Wen Qin wants to create any conflict. Minister Zhuge tell the ministers what you think. ”
Zhu Chenghua's role today is Zhuge Wenxian's praise, and he has listened to the report in advance on this matter, but such an important matter still needs to be discussed by the entire cabinet and can only be implemented after unifying the thinking.
"Minister Xie, based on the latest information we have received, this is indeed a great opportunity, and it is the Hartland people themselves who have created this opportunity. ”
Zhuge Wenxian said with a smile.
"First of all, I have to apologize to all of you, our Ministry of State Security has gone wrong in some of its previous judgments. ”
Zhuge Wenxian's words made a group of people a little confused, so they could only continue to wait for him to explain.
"I must say that all the intelligence officers, including me, were blinded and bewildered by the previous series of performances of Hart, who was now the new king of Hartland. ”
Zhuge Wen first said this with a smile.
"What's the matter, Zhuge , and when you look away, then you can still laugh?"
Ding Mo jokingly said that this time he went to the next heaven with Zhuge Wenxian, and Liu Fei had already found the reason for the leak of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. So he has a pretty good relationship with Zhuge Wenxian recently.
"Yes, because we have overestimated the character of this new king. Ladies and gentlemen, please look at these things. ”
Zhuge Wen first motioned to Anne to replace the documents on the slide.
What is now shown is Hart's series of actions in the past two days, and the impact of these actions on the Hartland aristocracy and the wealthy class.
Ye Wenqin's report is also on the top, and it is more of a report from those spies that the Federation has already buried.
It can be said that the current division within the Hartland aristocratic class is more serious than Ye Wenqin imagined, and even Hart's descendants have some ways to think about the future.
Looking at the tragedies that had just happened on the slide lantern, these ministers were furious at first, even though the two countries have been at war for many years, which can be described as a feud, but the mercy for the weak is part of the border.
Then everyone understood why Zhuge Wenxian said that they overestimated Hart.
There are indeed very few people in power who dare to abolish their martial arts like this.
"Look here, even high-ranking officials like their police chief are looking for a way out, how much hope there is for this country. Zhuge Wenxian pointed to the report passed by Ye Wenqin, and he was also amazed that this kid could get this level of intelligence as soon as he arrived in Hartland.
After reading the information displayed by Zhuge Wenxian, these ministers all showed unkind smiles, especially Defense Minister Wei Yuhang teased at one of the pictures depicting the big pit formed by the pale Sword Saint's self-explosion, "This pit is good, and if it is injected with water in the future, it will be called the Sword Saint Lake." It's pretty domineering to listen to. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, our idea is to use the point of internal antagonism as a breakthrough point, increase their internal division, and then supplement it with various economic means to suppress the national strength of the other side. All of this can be done in the name of private individuals, and has nothing to do with the actions of our government.
Then evaluate whether to carry out further crackdowns through the effect of the implementation of the plan.
Of course, this is only our proposal, and specific actions need to be coordinated by various departments. ”
Zhuge Wen completed the report first.
The next conference room basically didn't have much to do with the Ministry of State Security, they just needed to let the agents fan the flames at the right time.
At this time, Secretary Liu, who had followed Ye Wenqin and them to Guanlan before, came to him with a document, "Minister Zhuge , this is an urgent message from your ministry. ”
What he was holding was the secret letter sent by Ye Wenqin, because only Zhuge Wenxian had the password, and only the important level marks on it were universal, so he was immediately sent to him.
Zhuge Wenxian quickly completed the compilation. But what he said made him a little uneasy.
"Why does the Astor Empire have such a judgment?"
He sat there with a solemn face, since the Asters had personally sent people, it undoubtedly showed how much they attached importance to the skeleton brigade, you must know that they were doing this while making trouble within the countries of the alliance, and it was not easy to send people to the Federation.
Zhuge Wenxian has also dealt with the people of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau a few times in the past few decades, and knows that they are all real elites, and they are much more difficult to deal with than those waste snacks in Hartland.
In those few battles, if it weren't for the local battle, he could control far more resources than the agents of the empire, and he really wouldn't be able to win.
And the results of those encounters were all that the Asters committed suicide immediately after defeat, and no one was captured.
After those people died, they all turned into powder on their own, and it was because of this that Zhuge Wenxian and they were able to know that these people were spies of the Astor Empire.
Zhuge Wenxian felt that things would not be so simple, which made him even more eager to know why the Asters would set off this bloody storm in the south.
