As Yumoyan's internal strife heats up, Yang Yi welcomes an old man he didn't expect—Prince Valerian, who has returned to the Republic from the territory of the Council.

Obviously, when Valerian's invitation was sent to them, everyone around Yang Yi expected it. Yang Yi's relatives didn't know that Yang Yi and Valerian were allies, and Yang Yi thought that Valerian was still in the council and relied on his connections to dig up news about UED.

Yang Yi invited him to his safe house, and the two sides met again in the capital of the Republic after a long separation. However, Valerian now looks a little embarrassed, with many dirty places on his body, and he seems to have been punched in the face and slightly bruised. However, his quiet and reserved temperament is still not inferior to that year.

Valerian was alone when he came, and it was hard to imagine that His Royal Highness the Prince was so reassuring about them. Yang Yi exchanged a few words with the prince, and then introduced his father and uncle to Valenrian. Although Valerian was smiling on the surface and greeted them warmly, Yang Yi knew very well that His Royal Highness the prince was just giving him face.

After the nonsense was finished, the two sides sat down to talk about things. Valerian did not greet him any more, but pointed out the purpose of his visit—he had rushed back after hearing about the turmoil in the Republic. In fact, the chaos in the Republic had been going on for some time, and Valerian's purpose was not to help the Republic win the civil war, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, he soon learned that Black Rose had reappeared in Yumoyan's orbit after leaving, and then there was news that Yang Yi's troops had suddenly left their posts without permission. Valerian concluded that Yang Yi must have been responsible for such a large-scale operation, and that he might have returned to Yumoyan, so he immediately returned to the territory of the Republic. Originally, he planned to hand over information to Yang Yi, and then go back to find clues, but halfway through the way, he learned about the increasingly severe turmoil in the Republic from the news.

Maybe ordinary people can't see it, but Valerian can tell at a glance that someone must be making trouble behind him. At first, he thought that UED was trying to use Igor's assassination to force civil unrest in the Republic and intended to alert Yang Yi, but he soon saw a hint of clues, especially the chain reaction after Yang Yi's troops mysteriously disappeared. He judged that this might be Yang Yi's ghost behind his back. When he thought of this, he couldn't sit still.

The bruises on his face were caused by several militiamen when he entered the capital of the Republic in a car under false identity. When he asked to check his belongings, he was punched when he refused, but the militiamen were stopped by a member of the grassroots Soviet who happened to pass by, otherwise he would have had more than this bruise on his face.

"What's there to sit still? What are you worried about? ”

"I'm worried you're getting into trouble, Captain Yang." Valerian frowned and said, "You really don't understand that you guys are playing with fire?" Stirring up popular sentiment is not a good way to do it. What exactly is your purpose? Do you want to overthrow the Labour Party and the government of the Republic? ”

"Not really." Yang Yi shook his head, "On the contrary, I want the republic to reorganize order, can't you see that the Labor Party is now moving in the direction of extremism and will never return?" If this continues unchecked, the next step will be for Labour's Red Guards to rush to the doorstep. The republic was misguided from the outset, and it was completely impossible to form a multi-party government with the ultra-left radicals. Now we just have time to stop this before things get worse. ”

"But are you sure you can handle it all?"

"What do you mean?" Yang Yi was suddenly stunned by this question.

"Are you sure that Labour, or any other parties, will go your way? I mean, what if they're going to take a step back? ”

"Huh?" Yang Yi didn't understand what the prince said, "Is there a way out for the Labor Party?" ”

"Hmph. Sure enough, you didn't even think about Labour's reaction. Valerian shook his head in disappointment, and then said, "Whatever you do next, remember that no matter who you are dealing with, you must consider that the other party is also human, and there are also their own think tanks and committees, and they will also try to dissect and think about all of this from the chaos, and how to deal with it." ”

"It's true that the Labour Party has no chance to go backwards at the moment, and it is true that they have no way back because they have gone along with your plan in the first place, but that doesn't mean they can't move forward either, you understand what I mean?"

In response to him, there were several faces that even Yang Han and Lin Wujun were at a loss, and Valerian sighed: "Alas...... Well, I'll explain it simply. According to your original plan, you should want to keep intensifying the contradictions, make things more and more intense, and finally force the Labour Party to extreme, so that everyone else, including some of them, will take the side of it, and in turn force the Labour Party to give in, am I right? ”

"That's right."

"Very well, so now the question is, have you really considered the possibility of Labour taking advantage of this opportunity to seize power?"

"It was considered, but our troops will make sure that this concern does not become a reality." Yang Han replied first, "We've discussed it with Mr. Black—"

"Forgive me for the words, it's an act of utter stupidity." Valerian immediately interrupted Yang Han's words, and his face became unsightly, "Your Excellency originally served in the Imperial Army, and I am not surprised to have such thoughts, but I need to remind you that Commander Yang, and everyone, your troops are not the Republican Guard, and they are not even Yumoyans. In other words, even if it is the Council's troops who are here to maintain order, they are better than your troops. ”

Everyone was stunned.

"I am not surprised that President Blake would agree to this request. Because you are largely labeled as Blake's personal mercenary, it is actually in his interest that you make a move. If nothing else, he will take this opportunity to dissolve the parliament and take power alone. Even if it meant dealing with the entire Republican Guard, he still had a powerful mercenary group at his disposal. ”

"But it's not ......"

"Don't you understand? By the time this happens, the Republic will probably be in utter disarray, and people who are trapped in such an environment will naturally hope that someone can change this, and Blake can completely wipe out all the parties, their parliamentarians, officials, SS and even voters with your troops, and then restore order, dissolve Parliament, and become a true founding hero! Valerian's voice raised a lot, "You are mercenaries after all, where you come from, where you will return when the war is over, you will never be able to rule and own Yumoyan, because Yumoyan is a Yumoyan, not a pirate, nor an empire." ”

"Have you forgotten his ideals and goals? He's probably been waiting for this opportunity. He got rid of the civil service with the help of the UED, drove out the conservative and right-wing parties with the help of the republic, and drove the UED out of the political system as well, and now with the help of your hand to get rid of the left-wing parties, Yumoyan is of course left alone. "He wants to be an absolute monarch, someone like my father." But he would not allow others to control him, to control Yumayan, so he would never ask for the aid of the Empire. And an alien group of mercenaries just met his expectations, didn't it? ”

He ...... But if these forces really do what he wants...... was eliminated, how is he going to manage it...... What about this huge country? Christina was stunned by Valerian's analysis, and she seemed to stammer.

"Miss, have you forgotten? He once said that he also had a secret organization in Yumoyan that was loyal to him. Captain Yang, your captain once told me this. If the plan does work out, I have no doubt that he has enough loyal personnel to fill the void in the government. ”

"Force will not solve everything, sir." Valerian glanced at Lin Wujun, who opened his mouth to say something, "If you turn your face with Blake after or during all this, you will only make everything in vain." In the process, you will make the Council succeed, and then make Yumoyan a vassal of the Council, just like Kailian; At the end of it all or after that, you will only plunge Yumoyan into chaos and civil war again, and you will be spurned by Yumoyan forever, there will be no more flowers and cheers to welcome you, there will always be only the cold muzzles of Yumoyan's ships, and you may be permanently wanted by Yumoyan, I understand that the pirates may not care, but it will directly undo all your previous layout in Yumoyan. And if you don't turn your face, but can still maintain a good relationship with a powerful Yumayan monarch, and the other party will not be stingy with giving you rich rewards, you should understand which is more important, right? ”

"Of course, this is all based on the assumption that you are not aware of all these plans. At least for now, you should have a chance to redeem it. ”
