Chapter 24: What is the Way Forward?
The tyrant and his henchmen have been executed, and the crowd around Okemari has gradually decreased, but the hearts of everyone present have changed dramatically, regardless of their position.
The leaders of the rebels also left the execution area, but they did not go far, but entered the tent built in a nearby clearing that Wu Neng had seen when he entered the city earlier.
The leaders of the rebels were all in the same tent, and Wu Neng guessed that they might be preparing for a meeting to discuss what was to be done next.
Wu Neng plans to visit the city's bazaars to see if he can buy anything or to find out about foreign chambers of commerce.
It wasn't long before he was back in the city's bazaar, and after a few circles, he came to the horsehair department store he had visited last time.
Standing in front of the door of the horsehair department store, Wu Neng finally remembered what the familiar voice he had heard in the restaurant before.
The last time he visited this department store, Wu Neng had heard a person on the second floor loudly scolding his guy on the second floor before leaving, and now that he thinks about it, the person named Tubarala and the person who scolded the guy in the store that day seem to be the same person.
Thinking of this, Wu Neng didn't think much about it, he walked into the door and walked into the store.
As soon as he entered the store, Wu Neng was taken aback, the shelves that were originally empty were actually full of goods today. There aren't many customers in the store, but it's not as deserted as the last time I visited.
As soon as he saw a new customer coming in, the guy who was busy wiping the shelves in the store couldn't help but glance at the door, and when he saw Wu Neng's face, the guy in the store exclaimed in some surprise: "Huh? This boy looked familiar...... Are you the Holy Land explorer who came to our store some time ago to buy something? Brother, are you still alive? ”
The last time Wu Neng visited the department store, he lied that he was an explorer who came to Rainforest Island alone to explore when he talked to the guys in the store, and it was precisely because of this that the guys in the store still had a deep impression of Wu Neng.
As soon as the words came out, the guy immediately felt speechless, and hurriedly apologized to Wu Neng in a panic.
Wu Neng didn't take it to heart, although he had been in a relatively calm fishing village before, but he could really feel the tense atmosphere in Kawa Country, and it was normal for the shopkeeper to say such things.
"It's okay, it's okay, TOEFL, everything is fine." Wu Neng said with a haha, "Brother shop, why are your shelves so full today?" The last time I visited, it was empty, just a few things to buy. ”
"You don't know, guest officer." After glancing at the other customers who were picking up goods in the store, he leaned over and whispered, "This has something to do with the new bosses who have recently come to the city." ”
"What's going on?"
"The little one thinks he still has a few friends in the city, so the speed of getting news is also top-notch in the city." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's brow couldn't help but pick proudly, "On the night when the new and old bosses first entered the city, I heard the news that they had temporarily terminated the activities of the foreign chamber of commerce in Kawa City on the grounds that the existing transactions needed to be reviewed. No, the goods that were originally intended to be supplied to those Holy Country Chamber of Commerce had nowhere to go, so they had to be put on the shelves and sold. ”
Wu Neng nodded, scanned the shelves in the store, and walked to the shelves with herbs and daily necessities.
He ignored the outermost Dream Immortal Grass with a look of disgust, and picked out a lot of medicines on the shelf that Shi Cheng had used in the free clinic before.
There was no good grain to sell in the store, only rough grain mixed with a bunch of shells, which made Wu Neng, who was originally planning to improve his life, finally discouraged.
After picking out the things, Wu Neng met the money at the counter, and after leaving the store, he found a secluded corner and quietly stuffed the large package in his hand into the Tibetan box.
Wu Neng didn't want others to notice the strange treasure on his body, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself because of it.
After doing all this, Wu Neng glanced at the sun that was about to set in the sky, he knew that he had to leave quickly, Wu Neng didn't want to rush to the night in the dark night when he couldn't see his fingers.
On the way back, Wu Neng once again passed by the tent next to the Dakeju field, and there were about twenty soldiers guarding the tent. Despite this, the security around the tent still appears to be loose, and pedestrians can even come and go only about ten steps from the tent's door.
When passing by the tent, with Wu Neng's ears, he could faintly hear the voices of the people inside.
Some voices that sounded a little blurry came into his ears, and Wu Neng calmed down a little, and could vaguely distinguish the words "future", "we need", "implement it as soon as possible" and so on.
"They do seem to be in a meeting." Wu Neng thought in his heart. If Wu Neng wanted to hear more clearly, he would need to lean back into the tent, but he looked at the soldiers around the tent and finally shook his head and left. He restrained his curiosity and decided not to get into trouble.
Wu Neng guessed correctly, there was indeed a very important meeting going on in the tent at this time for this small country in the rainforest continent.
In the large tent, all the core members of the Rebel Army were gathered, and the leader of the Rebel Officers' League, Chapas, sat at the top, and he had just made a report to all the core members of the Officers' League on the current situation of the Kawa Kingdom and the short-term plans for the future of the new government on behalf of the temporary leaders of the new government.
This may be the first time in the history of the Kawa country that it has seen a more serious internal government meeting.
After making the report, Cempas put down the rough bark in his hand, looked around at his colleagues in the tent, and said: "The above is all the content of the report, and when the overall situation is completely stabilized, we need to form a formal team as soon as possible, so that everything in Kawa's mother can return to the right path as soon as possible." ”
"Now, do you have any questions?"
"Your Excellency, I have a question." A middle-aged officer sitting not far from Chapas's right stood up, "In your report, there is one urgent thing that has not been mentioned, and that is, what is our national body? This is important and has to do with what path we should take in the future. ”
The middle-aged officer didn't have much murderous aura on his body, and his beard was good-looking, which made him look more like an elegant scholar.
"His Excellency Adecha of the General Staff has a point, leader, this point must be settled as soon as possible." A slightly younger-looking senior officer chimed in.
Chappas nodded and said to the attendees, "It's a big deal, and that's an important reason why I didn't mention it in my previous report. You are all important members of the Officers' League, and I hope to fully understand your opinions before leading you to chart your path for the future. ”
"Does anyone want to share their opinion?" Chappas asked.
Everyone present looked at each other's colleagues, and after a moment of silence, a short-haired officer sitting in the middle of the left side said tentatively: "I think that the village sages in many places are still willing to accept the new government, why don't we push the boat down the river and establish an enlightened state after the system of the cold moon country?" ”
"And then let those so-called village sages continue to fish in the village?" The short-haired officer's words quickly drew a rebuttal. A small-eyed officer with a scar on his cheek said dissatisfiedly, "Hellimu, I spent my entire childhood in a poor village, so I know better than many of my colleagues present what a big piece of meat they will bite from the diligent old cow if you leave that hungry wolf alone!" ”
The small-eyed officer's tone was a little excited, and he continued: "If the country continues to live as usual in the future, then we might as well throw away the righteous flag in our hands as soon as possible, because there is no point!" Since we are here, then we must bring fresh air to Mother Kawa, and from another point of view, if we want to take our compatriots to a new life, then we must also make every effort to shape new blood and blood for the country, I believe that the leader, the deputy leader and the General Staff are all agreeable, right? ”
Chapas, Adecha, and a senior officer sitting in a chair next to Chapas's left nodded approvingly.
Chappas sat up straight and took the words of the small-eyed officer: "Bitadala is right, we must establish a new order, and if we only replace those who sit on the throne, then everything is just a new bottle of old wine." ”
The senior officer to Chapas's left, Gonado, the rebel's second-in-command, spoke.
"Another point, I hope everyone here can realize, is that the current system of the Cold Moon Country is based on the huge wealth they have, and in the course of hundreds of years of history, they have also made many adjustments to their various systems, which is what they are today. But for our Kawa mother, I'm sorry, but I must say that our country is so poor, there is no glorious past in our history, only memories of suffering, and a new government has only just been born, everything is in a state of beginning, and if you blindly copy someone else's system, I am afraid that it will only backfire in the end. ”
"In that case, it shouldn't be a problem to just learn from it." One of the officers spoke, "If the system of the Cold Moon is not suitable, why don't we learn from the experience of the Chita in governing the country?" Before the Battle of Nanyang Island, it took them less than a hundred years to complete the path that the Cold Moon People had walked for nearly six hundred years. As for now, although the Great Wei Empire is still nominally the number one power in the world, a discerning person can see that the Chita have begun to leave the Cold Moon people behind. ”
As soon as these words came out, an officer who seemed to be quite generous while sitting on the right hand side of Hellimu took over the conversation loudly, "You are crazy! Learn the path of the Chetas? Don't forget, Wei is in our northwest! ”
The officer who retorted loudly was Poye, and he looked to be about thirty years old, and his clothes and beard were very neatly groomed, and he himself had a beautiful face, so that the first sight of him was very pleasant.
"So what?" The officer who spoke before was very unconvinced, "The Tainuo Kingdom was founded by a serious sect, and hasn't it been a nail in the backyard of the Wei people for so many years?" Not to mention that now the differences between the main countries of Southern Rainforest Continent and the Wei people are becoming more and more obvious. ”
"And then, wasn't it still destroyed by the Wei people?" Po Ye said disdainfully, "In the past, it was just that the Wei people were in the way of face, so they didn't do it." But what is the world now, and what changes are the mentality of the Wei people? After the battle of Nanyang Island, in order to prevent the change in Yulinzhou, the Wei people who burned their butts said that they would swing their fists at Taino Kingdom and Tainuozong, what was the use of the anger of those people in Yulinzhou, and they were still suppressed later? Although the Chita reacted fiercely, they were able to sink four Wei motherships in the Battle of Nanyang Island, could they do that across the sea? ”
