Chapter 950: The Emperor's Dissent
Seeing that Podo XIII suddenly appeared and disagreed with the outcome of the trial, Prince Norton's face suddenly showed a solemn expression. Prince Norton and the others naturally knew that the matter of turning on the synchronous teleportation was originally ordered by Podo XIII. They also knew that Porto XIII was very concerned about the trial process, and they did not expect that he would also intervene when the result of the trial was announced. Of course, the opinion of Podo XIII is quite important, he was, after all, the emperor. His words can affect the final verdict. If the Emperor's words are ignored, then where is the majesty of the Empire?
But what was he going to say? Was the punishment too light or too severe? Of course, Prince Norton preferred the former. Bodo XIII was not as generous as Bodo III, as can be seen from his attitude towards Marshal Lucas.
Sure enough, Bodo XIII looked at Anne and said with a stern expression: "General Anne, whether what you said before is true or not, but because you are not good at commanding the troops, the Tenth Fleet, the main fleet of the empire, was completely wiped out, bringing immeasurable losses to the empire, and you fled back alone, which is no different from a deserter, and you will be sentenced to death for both crimes, do you have any objection?"
"MD, this guy is just as ruthless as the guy named Felix! Can there be no objections? Fools have no objections. Hearing that Bodo XIII was going to sentence Anne to death, Han Xue was angry and directly burst into foul language.
Feeling the anger in Han Xue's heart, Wu Lai smiled and comforted: "Xue, don't be angry, they, the emperors and ministers, are used to riding on other people's heads, and they want to dominate the life and death of others at every turn, so for such a trivial matter, they also have to pronounce the death sentence on Anne." However, it is also a manifestation of their authority. It's really amazing how it feels to be in control of other people's lives and deaths. "The annihilation of the main fleet of the empire has become a trivial matter in Wu Lai's eyes. Of course, in Wu Lai's eyes, there are few major events. Even if the country is destroyed and the species is exterminated, it is a trivial matter in Wu Lai's eyes. The strength is there, and the horizon is naturally higher.
"Hmph, authority has a P use, the key is strength!" Song Jian said disdainfully on the side.
Wu Lai nodded approvingly: "Yes, Ah Jian, you can realize this, it's a lot of progress! Authority has P, but without strength, P is not." ”
Song Jian whispered: "Boss, don't hurt me." I've been aware of this for a long time, haven't you seen that I'm working hard to cultivate every day?"
"Really, how can I see someone soaking in the bar every day for the past two days?" Wu Lai smiled at Song Jian meaningfully. Song Jian was dumbfounded all of a sudden. "It's over, it's been discovered by the boss! Alas, the boss has great powers, and it's normal to find it. ”
Wu Lai saw that Song Jian was speechless, a little funny, and couldn't help but quip: "What? Am I not right? You have been drunk and dreamed of death in Gentle Township for the past two days, and I am not embarrassed to disturb you, boss." ”
Seeing that Wu Lai didn't mean to blame him, Song Jian put his mind at ease and said with a sneer: "Boss, this is not the first time I've come to such a world of science and technology, so I want to see more!"
"What about the knowledge?" Wu Lai asked casually.
Song Jian said repeatedly: "Yes, very good, very different from the earth." ”
Unexpectedly, Wang Fei immediately retorted: "Aren't you talking nonsense? If it's the same as the earth, why are we going there?"
He Wen, who was rubbing Wu Lai's shoulders, suddenly changed the topic and said, "Husband, I think this Bodo XIII has a ghost." ”
"Really?" Wu Lai asked curiously, "Sister Wen, how do you see it?"
He Wen smiled charmingly and said, "Intuition." Wu Lai sighed softly, noncommittal.
"Don't believe it?" He Wen pouted like Song Jia, a little unhappy.
Wu Lai Zhengse said: "I believe that women's intuition is very, very accurate. Hearing Wu Lai's words, He Wen's mood suddenly improved a lot. "Ou Ye!" was affirmed by Wu Lai, that was the happiest thing. She worked harder to help Wu Lai rub her shoulders and beat her legs, and Wu Lai also enjoyed it with peace of mind.
As for whether there were ghosts in Hata XIII, Wu Lai didn't care. If he really wants to sentence Anne to death, Wu Lai can also save Anne as soon as possible.
Just as Wu Lai was laughing, Anne heard the word death sentence burst out of the mouth of Bodo XIII, as if she had been struck by lightning, she stood on the spot, her brain was blank, and she came to her senses after a while.
The Emperor of the Empire is going to sentence himself to death! What a heart-wrenching thing! How much he has contributed to the Empire, how many pirates he has exterminated, how many pirates he has dedicated, and how much he has dedicated his youth to the stability of the Empire's borders, and now he has no boyfriend, and he has also won the Order of the Imperial Warrior and countless merits, but because of this, all the credits have been erased and sentenced to death, Anne feels extremely disappointed. Is it worth it to fight for the empire after all these years? Anne's mind popped up with these words, a question that she had never thought of before.
Anne was about to speak, when Prince Norton spoke: "Your Majesty, this death penalty is too heavy. Prince Norton secretly thought: I didn't expect to really guess for myself, and Bodo XIII objected because the sentence was too light. This emperor, His Majesty, really doesn't have the magnanimity of Bodo III.
Seeing that Prince Norton was blocked, Bodo XIII said unhappily: "Uncle Huang, don't worry about it for now, this emperor has his own reasons." ”
Prince Norton said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules. Although His Majesty is the Ninety-Five, the affairs of the Imperial Military Department are still in charge of this king. Moreover, this is the result of the trial discussed by the seven ministers of our military department, and it cannot be denied lightly. ”
Wu Lai smiled: "It seems that this Prince Norton is quite protective of Anne." ”
"yes, this old man is not bad. Song Jiajiao said. She had previously thought that Prince Norton's sentence to Anne was too heavy for five years in prison, but now she had a slight affection for him, of course, only a little. As for Bodo XIII, she couldn't wait to go up and beat him up and beat him into a pig's head to relieve her hatred. Emperor, what is it to her?
Bodo XIII said coldly: "Uncle Huang, do you think the emperor's sentence is too heavy? Okay, the total annihilation of the Tenth Fleet is not a heavy blow to the empire? More than a thousand advanced interstellar warships, plus an interstellar mothership, it took countless manpower, material and financial resources, and it took several years to build such a fleet, and it was just gone, do you think you can not make the emperor sad?" The loss of the Tenth Fleet has broken the balance of military power between the Empire and the Deran Empire, and then the Empire will be bullied by the Deland Empire.
Prince Norton was indifferent to the cold tone of Bodo XIII, and he argued with reason, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Your Majesty, the total destruction of the Tenth Fleet is not entirely the responsibility of Admiral Anne. Such a result would have been if the commander of the 10th Fleet had not been Admiral Anne, but someone else. The Tenth Fleet was no match for the First Fleet of the Delan Empire at all, not to mention that they were ambushing and carrying out sneak attacks. Perhaps, it is Anne's responsibility that the Tenth Fleet did not detect the lurking enemy early and wiped out the entire army, but the equipment of the First Fleet of the Deland Empire is more advanced than that of our Tenth Fleet, and it is reasonable that they cannot be discovered. Just because General Anne was unlucky to sentence him to death, no one would be convinced. ”
Prince Norton sneered in his heart: In the past few years, the empire has been bullied by the Delan Empire, and it is because of you, the emperor. Wasn't the Tenth Fleet bullied before it was completely wiped out? Of course, he naturally wouldn't say this.
Prince Norton was known for his integrity, he was the younger brother of Podo XII, and he had an excellent relationship with Marshal Lucas. The two of them were once close comrades-in-arms, and Marshal Lucas once saved his life. Prince Norton has always respected Marshal Lucas, so he has always been very concerned about Anne, and he has always been very concerned about Anne, but this time the total destruction of the Tenth Fleet has nothing to do with it, and it is not appropriate for Anne's sentence to be too light or too severe, he feels that five years in prison is already a great punishment for Anne, and the punishment is appropriate, so he proposed five years of personal imprisonment.
Bodo XIII looked at Prince Norton with some anger and sneered: "Uncle Emperor, you are unwilling to sentence Anne to death because of that old fellow of Lucas, right?"
Hearing that Podo XIII disrespectfully called Marshal Lucas an old fellow, several bigwigs in the military department were very angry. You must know that these people were either promoted by Marshal Lucas, or they were instructed by Marshal Lucas, and they all respected this imperial military god very much. It can be said that without Marshal Lucas, the current strength of the Bodo Empire would not be possible. Marshal Lucas's prestige is comparable to that of the legendary Marshal Flandy. But Marshal Lucas has not tasted defeat since he joined the army, and before Frandy became famous, he had always been known as a defeated general, and if it were not for the victory of the Great Battle of Alex, he would always have been a defeated general. Some people commented that Marshal Lucas was superior to Marshal Frandi. Even the iron-blooded Admiral Felix, Vice Marshal Felix, had great respect for Marshal Lucas, and he said that he would sentence Anne to death, but he only stood on the fact that Anne had caused the total annihilation of the Tenth Fleet, and did not consider the situation. As for Skano, he still has some grudges with Anne, but he has not fallen into the ground, in fact, he has a certain relationship with Marshal Lucas. This cannot but show that the prestige of Marshal Lucas is unmatched in the Empire.
In the eyes of everyone, although Bodo XIII was the emperor of the empire, he could not be disrespectful to Marshal Lucas. The empire is now strong because of Marshal Lucas. Originally, because of Marshal Lucas, the empire was unprecedentedly powerful, but this mediocre and incompetent guy forced Marshal Lucas to retire and mess around, which made the empire's national strength weaken day by day, and its influence in the Otland galaxy was declining day by day, and even the seven bigwigs in the military department were quite resentful. Who doesn't want their motherland to be strong? Although it cannot be said that these seven bigwigs are all very upright, all of them are upright, but at least they are patriotic, and this is enough.
Prince Norton didn't answer, but Felix said: "Your Majesty is serious, I will wait for the sake of the empire, and I will enforce the law impartially, and I will never be extrajudicial for anyone's affection." Please don't insult us!"
Wu Lai sighed: "This guy finally said something human. ”
Except for Prince Norton, several other bigwigs all said in unison: "Your Majesty, please don't insult us!"
Bodo XIII suspected that they were bending the law for personal gain in Lucas's affection, which was naturally an insult to them, a great insult.
Even if he is an emperor, he can't insult the military minister casually, otherwise the consequences will be quite severe.
The verdict announced by Prince Norton was the result of their joint deliberations, and if it was overturned in this way, what was the authority of the military department? Even His Majesty the Emperor could not deny the result of the trial that they had discussed for a long time just because of a single sentence. Now they are all of one heart, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. Of course, if Porto XIII wanted to be angry with them, he couldn't. They are the figures at the top of the pyramid of the Imperial Military Department, and they are very important. Even if Porto XIII wanted to attack them, it would not be so easy.
Moreover, in fact, in the hearts of the seven bigwigs, there is another point of view, that is, if the fleet is gone, it can be built again, at most it will cost a little money, some time, and some manpower, but if the talent is gone, it will not be easy to cultivate. How can an excellent general be so easy to cultivate! Geniuses are all chosen from 10,000 in 10,000 people. Military genius, even rarer.
Anne is actually a general seedling, and when she grows up, she may be an imperial female military god, and she is only sentenced to five years in prison, which can be regarded as her protection. During these five years of imprisonment, as long as she does not waste herself, she will still be successful. Five years will pass in the blink of an eye.
But I didn't expect that as soon as Bodo XIII came up, he aggressively wanted to sentence her to death, don't you know the importance of talent? It is a pity that such a talent is executed like this. If the Bodo Empire really had so many talents, there would not be only one young fleet commander like Anne. Although the population of the Bodo Empire was large, there was still a shortage of talents.
Seeing that everyone was holding on to the same word, Bodo XIII realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he was the king of a country, so he naturally refused to bow his head and admit his mistake. He said euphemistically: "You know the loyalty of the emperor to the empire, and the emperor also knows your personality quite well. The Emperor believes that you are impartial in enforcing the law and have no selfish motives. ”
"Shameless, shameless! I didn't believe it just now, but now I've changed my tune. Wu Lai felt speechless.
The meaning of Hado XIII's words, the seven bigwigs naturally understood. Speaking of which, they don't want to say anything more. Does it have to be that Podo XIII bowed his head and admitted his mistake? This is impossible. As Emperor of the Empire, it was not easy for Bowdo XIII to be forced to say the above words against his will. The face of the emperor is more important than anything else.
