622.Chapter 622 The Blithorns are in a hurry
"Ahh The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is unbelievable. When William heard about this series of news, in addition to being surprised, there was a little schadenfreude, but also a pleasantness and pleasure. Anything that would disadvantage the Bretons was something he would listen to with great pleasure. It was the same even with the republican revolution, which all the monarchies of the world shunned.
"Because, I'm not like those idiots, unprepared. William thought to himself, and then smiled pleasantly.
It's as if he was thinking. In the past few years, the ideas of nationalism and nationalism that he propagated have also begun to take root in the hearts of the people.
Under the official guidance, the people of the empire basically accepted the idea of nationalism, nationalism, the great revival of the Gothic nation, and the great desire to create a Gothic empire.
Under all these desires, the individual man is insignificant. Everyone should be a part of this society - of course, and at the same time an indispensable part.
It is glorious and sacred to strive for a great collective, for a great ideal. And anyone who abandons the collective and only thinks about personal gains and losses, as well as personal interests, is corrupt and rotten and will be spurned.
If the Gothic Republic today raises the banner of individualism, the banner of humanism. If you shout that everyone has infinite possibilities, then the Russian-Gothic Empire today is raising the banner of collectivism, collective, state, national socialism. Believe that all people should put the collective good first.
It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong, but there is no doubt that the two are close to incompatibility.
"So, even though now the Empire is funding the Republic, funding those guys. But I'm just trying to get those guys to make trouble for the Bretons. ”
When confronted with his father, Prince Otto, who seemed a little nervous when he heard the news, William first asked him to calm down, and then explained his plan:
"I never wanted to include them as part of myself. Those who preach freedom and individualism are all bastards and silverfish, and I can't accept the kind of liberal and socially meaningless people in my empire anyway. William said to his father solemnly:
"I can guarantee that. ”
"I'm relieved if you say that. Hearing William say this, his father, Prince Otto, did look relieved:
"In fact, I'd heard some of this talk before that. They are too dangerous, yes, too dangerous. They're going to make a mess of everything. Eventually they will destroy everything, including themselves. So, in any case, the Empire could not accept that kind of thinking. ”
"I know, of course I do, rest assured, my father. William had to go on and reassure his father, "I would never do that." ”
"But...... In fact, there is another thing. ”
After receiving an affirmative answer from William, Prince Otto was completely relaxed. But then, the prince looked a little embarrassed. It's like there's going to be some "that" in what you're going to say next.
This made William a little curious—well, not a little, but very. Normally, his father is no longer in charge of politics. Nothing will make him feel like this or that. And he usually doesn't give any opinions or suggestions, which makes William feel embarrassed.
It's the first time I've said that I have something to discuss with William.
"What's the matter, father? William tried to keep his tone as flat as he could, but the slightest hint of curiosity made Prince Otto hear.
This made Prince Otto even more embarrassed.
"No, it's not too important, so let's do it for now. After that, Prince Otto didn't even want to talk to William about it.
But the more he did this, the more William naturally couldn't let him go.
After a split before the Battle of Magdeburg, and a final rupture. William and Otto's previous father-son relationship was re-bridged. But that crack still appears here and there, and then shows his presence.
Both William and Otto worked very hard to manage this emotion. Therefore, the more this situation is, the more William feels that he should communicate with his father.
"Well, actually, I'm just going to talk about it casually, if you think it's right, you can continue to research it yourself, but if you don't think it's right, then forget it. ”
Before saying that, Prince Otto still gave a "preventive shot" like this, and then he really opened his mouth and officially told William what it was.
"Are we going to adjust our relationship with the Bretons. Then the so-called Gothic Republic will be suppressed, and then the Bretons will be in a decisive battle. ”
Prince Otto said this to his son, almost "plucking up courage".
And after saying these words, Prince Otto lost all his strength. He looked at William with a blank eye, and it didn't feel like a father looking at his son, but like a schoolboy who had done something wrong looking at his teacher.
This made William feel a little sorry for his father. However, although he said so, William still said without hesitation: "No, father. He said: "In my heart, the Bretons will always be the first target of the Empire. I-no, I mean we, we must not abandon an important goal because of a secondary goal. ”
"Yes," Prince Otto looked a little disappointed when William said this, but more of a sense of relief. He grudged a smile and said, "Since you say that, then—"
"- Wait a minute, father. After this, William stopped him.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, of course there is one more thing. William said very seriously: "Father, who told you about this, who told you to say this to me?"
"Nobody, I came up with it myself......" the other said in a rather unconfident tone.
"--Is that really the case, father?" William looked at him with a little dissatisfaction, "This is important, father, you should know, this is important. ”
"Okay. After a brief moment of silence, Prince Otto finally spoke: "Actually, it is—they." ”
"The Britons have touched you?" asked William.
"That's right. Otto nodded, "Say, you know, I never let go of my hatred for that woman, just like you, my son - but I think she still has some point." So—"
"Father. William shook his head very helplessly: "In the future, if the other party has such a letter coming, you'd better not read it." If you really want to see it, you'd better bring it over and come with me. The other party is a sinister and cunning guy. You should already know this. We can't be fooled. You can't do what the other person says. ”
"I know all of this, but ......"
"You're still too soft-hearted. William shook his head and said helplessly.
Prince Otto subconsciously wanted to refute, but soon, he nodded helplessly and admitted William's statement - "Yes, I'm still too soft-hearted. ”
Next, the father and son were relatively silent. After a moment of silence, Prince Otto took the letter and showed it to William.
Of course, there is nothing to be said about their relationship throughout the book. It's all about the truth - about the incompatibility between the republic and the monarchy, about the war relations between them.
It was as if before this, Victoria had said to William, they were all the same, they were all aristocratic families involved in capital. The expectation resonates with William as much as he agrees.
This time, the same lady did the same. Even better and much better than Victoria.
It is no wonder that William's father, Prince Otto, who has a softer ear, would listen. In fact, William felt that even if the person who read the letter was a more determined and stubborn anti-Britonist, he might have been tricked.
The power of language, vocabulary, and words can even surpass the sword in many cases.
"It's just a pity that it's of no use to me at all. "William was very calm, very calmly expounding such a reality, which was quite cruel for the Bretons.
"Yes, that's right, those guys are like a plague, yes, that's right, they're against almost any monarchy. Yes, yes, those guys are very combative, and their theories can be demagogic - but, father. William said word for word:
"He forgot one very important thing - that is, their theory was wrong. ”
"The theory is...... Wrong?"
"That's right, wrong theories lead to wrong results. No matter how great the process is, the end result must be wrong, and since it is wrong, then there is no need to think, to obtain, to cooperate, or to dissolve in any way. That's it!"
William didn't hesitate and said it categorically. And this is William's final answer to this matter.
