"If there is excess love, please use it on a more suitable person. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info As far as I know, Bliton itself, Bliton colonies, Bliton territories all over the mainland, there are more common people than here. They may need these things more, but unfortunately you did not act accordingly in the face of those who needed them more. ”

"Is that so?" though William pointed out his mistake sharply. But Victoria didn't admit it at all, or felt embarrassed, or something like that: "Maybe, but that doesn't make sense." Or do you want to argue with me about whether what I'm doing is right or wrong? Do you think it's wrong to transport resources to the land of other countries and give aid to people in other countries when there are still many poor people in your own country waiting to be fed?"

"--Of course it is-"

I want to hear the truth. ”

"Of course it's wrong. ”

Despite Victoria's words, William insisted on his original statement: "It's immoral, it's even dirty and dirty." Such disregard for the civilians of their own country, but the use of resources on the people of other countries. Guys like this don't deserve to be called rulers. ”

Hearing William say this, Victoria was silent for a while, she looked at William very seriously, and after a while, she continued: "So, William, are you serious, or do you want me to call you His Royal Highness?"

"Seriously, of course. William replied, "Or many people think that internationalism and fraternity are very correct." But the world is very cruel. The world's resources are not yet so abundant that they can be wasted. Especially when those who need it more have not yet received enough help. ”

"Civilians are civilians. Civilians in any country need help. Although she knew that the point of the conversation between the two was not here, Victoria still followed William's words.

"Yes, their level of pity is probably the same. But the obligations of those in power are different. William said: "The first duty of a ruler is to provide for his people, to make his country prosperous, and to make his people live and work in peace."

Only when this has been done will the ruler be qualified to care for the people of other countries around the world. ”

"Do you really think so?" asked Victoria.

"Of course, that's what I really thought. William continued, with an unchanged face.

After that, Victoria paused for a moment, and she looked at William carefully, very carefully. Trying to find embarrassment or something like that on his face. But in the end, she still didn't find it.

So, Victoria couldn't help but sigh:

“...... I suddenly understood why you succeeded. William, what a villain you are. ”

William looked just the right amount of confusion and annoyance, and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about, Duke Victoria. ”

"Of course, of course you do. Victoria said.

Yes, William certainly knew what Victoria meant - people's livelihood was one issue, diplomacy was another. The more money and resources invested in the country is not always better. Because the two sums of money do completely different things. The latter is not merely a matter of satisfying the so-called Virgin, or out of internationalism or humanism.

Rather, it is for the purpose of buying people's hearts and minds and establishing a good international image.

In fact, the vast majority of national leaders do. On the contrary, as before, the focus of the two men's discussions, the so-called internationalism or something, is something that few rulers would think of.

Those good rulers don't be so stupid. And the good rulers simply don't even care about their own people. So nothing like this will happen at all.

In other words, William and Victoria, all the discussion just now is nonsense.

The two of them knew it. But we still had a great time chatting about this issue. Victoria may have known a little bit about shame, so she found it boring. So in the end, I don't want to talk about it anymore. But William didn't. From beginning to end, he seriously made a series of nonsense remarks on this nonsense issue. And both facial expressions and words are impeccable.

"In terms of shamelessness, this guy is indeed much better than me. Victoria thought to herself...... It's just that, despite the use of derogatory terms like "shameless", Victoria still feels that she is even more jealous of this man.

Because of the reason for jealousy one more. This shameless spirit of pretending to be confused is also William's advantage. Because you are shameless, you can be a good ruler. Or to put it more simply, a good ruler has to be so shameless.

"More and more want to kill this bastard. How good this bastard is. If there is a model ruler in this world, then it must be made according to this guy. Victoria thought to herself. She was eager to draw her sword and stab William's heart with a sword. In reality, though, she didn't do it, and instead smiled even brighter.

Inconsistency between the outside and the inside is also one of the qualities that a ruler should have. She smiled and said to William, "Although you have been fooling me. However, if you don't want to say it, then I won't force you. She said, "But, since you have said such a high-sounding word, I will naturally ask you a high-sounding question - since you have said it so well, you are disqualified as the ruler of the neo-Gothic colony." It looks like you're not taking good care of your people as you say. ”

"Russia has enough resources to supply the neo-Gothic colonies. William frowned. She knew that Victoria's "change of subject" was not just about using this to satirize herself. She meant something else.

"It's different from what I've seen. Victoria said: "I think what I have seen is more credible than what you say." ”

"I still have something to say. Speaking of this, William's expression became unnatural: "But I don't have enough troops to escort these supplies to the New World." ”

"Oh?" Hearing William say this, Victoria couldn't help but smile gloatingly: "I thought that the army of the Hereford family was the strongest in the human world, it seems that I was wrong." ”

"I'm talking about the Navy. William said through some gritted teeth.

Seeing his unwilling and resentful appearance like this, Victoria felt very happy in her heart. But then she thought about it again - these reluctance and resentment were probably also disguised by William. At the thought of this, her pleasure immediately vanished - only in her heart, of course. On the surface, Victoria still maintained a pleasant, gloating smile - and rightfully so, that smile was also faked.

"Yes, Navy. Well, that's right. Perhaps there are those who can organize an army that is unparalleled in the world in a short time. But the Navy is more technical. It's not something that can be built overnight. Moreover, an army power will inevitably tilt military spending in favor of the army in order to maintain its superiority on the mainland. As a result, there will be less money to be spent on the navy. In this case—"

I don't think the focus of our discussion is on the issue of funding our armed forces. William interrupted Victoria somewhat unceremoniously: "The Hereford family supports you on the army side, and Briton facilitates us on the navy side. Do not forget this, Her Majesty the Great Queen, this is the basis of an alliance between the two sides. We take what we need, and that's why we're able to build strong alliances. ”

"So what?" said Victoria, her expression becoming serious.

"So that is, to carry out escort missions for the Russian transport fleet, as well as for the merchant fleet, against the pirate privateers belonging to Visigoths and Asturias. This is your task, and now, you are not doing it well - I have received six reports of attacks on supply fleets bound for the New World this month. That's why we don't have enough supplies to supply my people - it's your responsibility!"

"Hmph...... My responsibility...... What?" Victoria snorted. She could not argue with this point, and indeed the covenant between the two sides was very clear when the alliance with the other party was first formed. This is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the Britons.

"Briton's fleet is already working hard against the enemy. "Moreover, the other side is not only attacking your convoy, but also ours. I have also received a number of reports of attacks on the supply fleet. ”

"But you've suffered almost nothing, have you?" said William, "you have enough convoys to strike at any privateers who covet your supplies. So you didn't suffer any loss of supplies. So much so that Her Majesty can even bribe my people with a large amount of supplies at will. ”

"......" although Victoria did this kind of thing. But hearing William say this, Victoria still felt a little embarrassed.

"We don't have enough escort ships, so naturally we have to give priority to escorting our ships. So, she lied with a blank face.

"Lying. ”

The lie was immediately exposed by William.
