After reading the note, Emperor Salantos Midknight, who had been silent, suddenly stood up: "I'll say a few words. ”

The meeting fell silent for a moment, and the ministers who had wanted to continue speaking sat back.

Because of the cold and fatigue, Emperor Salentos's voice was a little hoarse: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have read all the relevant documents, and after summarizing the information, I have come to a definite conclusion; The kingdom of Solan is indeed hostile to us, and I can take responsibility for that view. ”

She threaded the note into the hook on her left arm, held it up, and showed it to the crowd:

"Just now, I received an urgent secret piece of information, on the other side of the Narrow Sea, King Louis Lafalette I of Solan has issued an order that he has mobilized the 320,000 reserve troops of the Kingdom of Solan, and allocated a large amount of funds to provide material support, and reopened the recruit training program, and the focus of the training is - sea crossing operations."

The meeting hall was silent at first, and then suddenly boiled, and the ministers and generals also ignored the order of the meeting hall and expressed their opinions:

"Your Majesty, you must deal with it calmly! There is still a chance for peace, and we should send diplomats to mediate! ”

"Come on! It's still a fart to negotiate! Since they are determined to fight, then we will accompany them to the end! ”

"No, I think they're just trying to scare people, and even if we do execute the prisoners, they won't do anything."

"Please listen to me!" The emperor waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "In any case, the behavior of the Solan Kingdom to rearm for war is already an objective fact, our spies have confirmed the authenticity of this information, if we refuse to hand over the four prisoners and insist on sending them to the guillotine, this move is very likely to become the fuse of the war between the two great powers, and thousands of people will die because of it!" Be sure to think carefully before making a decision! ”

Earl Southgate nodded: "Your Majesty is right, this matter is different from previous diplomatic accidents, and it must be dealt with carefully, and the problem now is that we have not established diplomatic relations with the Solan Kingdom, and we can only learn about each other's information through intelligence agents, and there is a lack of effective communication between the high-level leaders of our two sides." ”

A diplomat recommended himself: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take a boat to the kingdom of Solan and try to communicate with them." ”

At this time, the door of the venue was pushed open, and a royal official walked to the round table on a thick red carpet and said, "Your Majesty, the minister of the Solan Kingdom has arrived, and he wants to see you, so he is waiting outside at this time." ”

There was another commotion in the venue, and the emperor coughed a few times and said, "It's just in time, so we don't have to send someone, please invite him in!" ”

"Yes!" The royal officer withdrew, and when he returned, he was followed by a tall, thin middle-aged man.

He was dressed in a long blue silk coat embroidered with colorful embroidery and star-shaped buttons that shone with gold and precious stones.

In order to cover the dark spots and sarcomas caused by skin diseases, he applied a lot of concealer powder on his face, showing an exaggerated and miserable white.

A pair of mouse-like black eyes swirled in their sockets, looking very cunning. Beneath the towering hooked nose is an exaggerated mustache with the edges curled upwards to form a spiral shape, followed by two thick lips painted with vivid purple lip gloss.

His white gentleman's wig was long, permed into a fancy curly and fluffy hairstyle, draped all the way to a pleated collar, and his trousers and leather boots were painted with intricate patterns, and he smelled of a strong and pungent rose perfume.

As soon as he walked into the conference hall, he was immediately greeted with hundreds of hateful glances, but this man seemed to be nonchalant, wearing velvet white gloves and holding a walnut gentleman's cane in his right hand and a shiny sea otter fur top hat in the other, and walked leisurely down the soft red carpet.

He was followed closely by two guards salutes, who did not like the guest's fashionable dress and frivolous behavior.

They held the butts of their rifles in their palms, and strode in a majestic and orderly manner, glaring angrily at the back of the minister, although their faces remained calm and solemn, but in their hearts they only wanted to stab this foreigner who smelled of perfume to death with a bayonet.

The minister walked to the round table and saluted the emperor in an extremely exaggerated posture: "The contemptible man's name is Hacantham Yanutran, one of the diplomats of the kingdom of Solan, and the minister of our King Louis Lafalette I.

I have heard of the prestige of His Majesty the Emperor of Sarantos, and it is a great honor to be able to witness you today. ”

"Mr. Hacantham, I'm not interested in hearing your pleasantries, so let's be practical." Emperor Salantos frowned and said coldly: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you and put forward your king's conditions, I'll listen." ”

"Oh, you're just as rumored...... Resolute, well, as you wish, I'll be straight, the conditions of our King Louis are simple and reasonable.

Your country must release the four nationals of our kingdom of Solan, whose fate can only be decided by our courts, and as for the crimes they have committed in your country, we will reopen the investigation, and after the deliberation of our jury, we will conclude that we will deal with the matter fairly and impartially, and that the perpetrators will not be tolerated, and that your country can send representatives to our courts to observe the whole process. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a lot of scolding in the venue.

"There is no mercy in the eyes! Who do you think you are? The laws of our country, it's not your turn to dictate! Your king is too arrogant! ”

"What are you doing in your coat? If your king can only make such ridiculous and impudent demands, we don't need to talk any further! ”

"Bold! This guy dares to speak out in front of His Majesty! He should be dragged out and beaten! ”

In the midst of an angry noise, the emperor himself did not speak, but squinted his eyes and quietly observed the other party's reaction, and she found that the fancy and fashionable foreigner in front of her was not as simple as she imagined.

The minister of the Solan Kingdom showed quite good psychological qualities, he did not panic at all in the midst of the scolding, and maintained a smiling expression and a straight standing posture, like a reef in a stormy sea, as calm and unfazed.

At this moment, a tall figure stood up, and it turned out to be the emperor's adopted son, Baron Victingstrandhald, who stood up angrily:

"With all due respect, the request of the king of your country is purely vexatious, and I personally participated in the pursuit,

The poachers who illegally hunted our wildlife and murdered our rangers, and they all confessed their guilt, signed the confession report and put their fingerprints, if you don't believe me, I can show it to you. ”
