The sun was shining from the sky, shining on the streets of the central district of Triland, where there were very few pedestrians, and the few people I saw were still soldiers in a hurry, and their sad faces were full of confusion about the future, even the most crowded roadside tavern in the past, the "Sailor's House" At this time, the gate was also closed, only the beer barrel sign that was skewed to the side was reflected in the shadow of the sun, and the wind blowing along the street swayed back and forth, and it was bleak, and the sailors of the city were asked to assist the city wall in carrying supplies, where would anyone come here to drink, and the shops that passed along the street were all closed in the gate,

It's wartime, and occasionally you can see patrols walking along the streets, and they will stop one or two suspicious-looking people for questioning, if they are deserters, these patrols will be imprisoned if they are caught, and if they are lucky, they can still be rescued, and if they are unlucky, they are waiting to be sent to the temporary death squad, aren't you afraid of death as deserters? Then let you stand in the front! Most of the military regulations of the sea country are like this, simple and rude, for example, if you are a novice seasick, simple, tied to the mast for three days and three nights, to ensure that you will not be seasick in the future, if you are afraid of death, then join the death squad

Sweeping the carriage in the street, the patrol stopped next to a half-collapsed house, revealing the stone structure inside, several men were trying to carry the dismantled stones onto the transport carriage, still swearing and swearing, not far away, a middle-aged woman who did not look badly dressed, crying with two children in her arms, and a few onlookers next to her, pointing and talking about something

"What's going on! What the hell is going on here while I'm negotiating?"

Inside the carriage, Duke Anji, who had been deprived of the commander of the navy, had a slightly blue face, and snorted angrily, "Such a blatant sabotage, has no one come out to say a word of justice? What about the army, is the patrol watching like this? The sky in August is bright, but the sun from our heads seems to be cold."

Opposite him, sat two people. One is a middle-aged man with a chest on his chin, a cold face, wearing a pen-like navy uniform, with sharp eyes, and his face was slightly embarrassed to Prince Anji's question, "My lord, this is the decision of the council! We can't help it, mainly because the central area is an extinct volcano, and the army has lost the periphery incompetently, and it is now located in the residential area within the wall." There are very few places where you can actually grab heavy stones."

The captain of the naval detachment paused in his voice and continued, "The army has asked the council to demolish the old houses in the residential area to obtain the big stones used for the trebuchet! The council agreed to this construction, and it is useless for our navy to express strong opposition" "Demolish the houses of the citizens to get the stones?" Prince Anji's face was stunned, in fact, he did not expect that he had only been away for a few days, and the situation would become so bad, after a few seconds of silence. Dissatisfied with trembling lips slightly, he asked in a low voice, "The army was broken by the Falcon Imperial Army in Balka, and it is not surprising that such an act was expected, isn't there anyone on the council side who came forward to stop it?" "Your Royal Highness, please don't misunderstand" The other person on the other side. It was a middle-aged nobleman with a pale face, a councillor named Lapushi from the central district, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, his face was uneasy, and he quickly explained, "It's wartime." Understandably, the council thinks that although the house is precious, there are no people. In extraordinary times, what do you want to do with houses! In extraordinary times, although the army is a little harsh, the owners of these houses referred to by the army are not ordinary people, most of them are related to the island aristocratic industries that have betrayed the sea country on the outer islands, or have more or less kinship, for the island countries, these people are traitors, and it is their honor to use the houses of traitors to defend against the enemy! Moreover, the parliament also took into account the worries of some of the damaged, so the demolition still gave a certain compensation!"

Although the navy of the sea country has suffered heavy losses and is no longer able to fight, Prince Anji has also been deprived of the post of commander-in-chief of the navy, but as the head of the most powerful neutral faction in the parliament, the famous giant, although it is in the stage of losing power, but he is also the first person in charge of the navy of the sea country, Prince Anji's anger is not something that he can compete with as a small councilor, so he highlighted the words during the war, which also means that this matter really has nothing to do with me.

He is just a liaison officer in the negotiation, and his main job is to accompany Prince Anji to negotiate with the Falcon Empire, logically speaking, Prince Anji is no longer in the military, and even the parliamentary position is gone, how can it not be his turn to negotiate, but the thing is so embarrassing, everyone knows that the negotiation with the Falcon Empire is the surrender negotiation, and whoever goes to negotiate will be called a traitor.

For these pampered and accustomed to criticizing others from the perspective of righteousness, it is one thing to move their mouths, and it is another thing to really face the Xueliang sword of the Falcon Empire, and it is another thing to show their unyielding in front of the famous Falcon Imperial Army, it is a very stupid act of seeking death, since no one wants to go, some people mention that Prince Anji, who has been deprived of his military position, anyway, you are all stinky, don't mind stinking once, anyway, the Falcon Empire is still more polite to Prince Anji, don't you see that being a prisoner can be released back unharmedThe Falcon Empire won't cut off your head!

"That's good!"

Prince Anji heard that there was compensation, and his eyebrows that were frowning together were slightly separated, anyway, he was out now, if it weren't for the fact that there were still hundreds of thousands of lives on Triland Island, Strange's fate was still undecided, this time the surrender negotiations, he couldn't go at all, even if he was stigmatized, he hoped to be worthwhile, but the reply from the Falcon Empire made him completely messed up, suspended, the Falcon Empire suspended the surrender negotiations, so that Prince Anji's ass was sent back before he could sit firmly, suspended, what do you meanHe was still thinking about this along the way, and he saw the scene just now.

"Yes, there is compensation"

The captain nodded with disdain, ignoring Lapush's slamming eyes, and said to himself, "For every ten cubic stones to compensate for one silver coin, such a house is worth ten thousand gold coins on the market." When converted into a party, it is at most fifty or sixty silver coins, and when the value of the house has reached the point where it is measured by the value of the stones, the so-called compensation given by the army and the actual value of the house are completely incomparable, and it is difficult to say whether I can buy the first vase in the room!" The captain of the detachment had made no secret of his indignation at the army's reckless behavior,

You must know that many of the nobles in the outer islands are very close to the navy. Many of the noble sons of the outer islands are more or less serving in the navy.

Although this departure from the sea country made the naval officers in it, full of embarrassment, but it was also after the bloody battle of the navy children, the navy has done its best, and the fact that tens of thousands of children have shed their blood on the sea cannot be erased, not to mention that the navy is incompetent, and the army is not the same now. The parliament also called for the opening of surrender negotiations, and at this time, the army launched such a proposal, which was simply ignoring the bloody facts on the naval side. The rhythm of falling stones, trying to break the entire navy into the camp of traitors, if it was the heyday of the navy, it would be to give the army two dares. The army would never dare to make such a move, but now, isn't the navy finished!

"Your Excellency. If the army is allowed to act like this, the officers will not be able to live!"

The captain of the naval detachment expressed his opinion very indignantly, they are all from the navy, Prince Anji naturally knows that this matter affects the interests of the navy, and as the head of the neutral faction who has always advocated maritime hegemony, Prince Anji's position has always been on the side of the navy, and the victory in the naval battle of Faisan has established the prestige of his commander-in-chief of the navy, so in the face of this situation, the first thing that the admirals of the navy think of is also Prince Anji

"Okay, for the time being, I want to be quiet!"

Prince Anji closed his eyes, and pressed his fingers on the temple position with some pain, the entire island is a population of 1780,000, and the imperial army in the war of the Hungarians, killed hundreds of thousands of the Hungarian Western Army in one breath, slaughtered the entire Triland Island, and did not play with it, the Haiguo Army was defeated, tens of thousands of people were killed, and tens of thousands of people were captured, the cruel reality is like a basin of cold water, hitting the upper echelons of the Sea Kingdom, the total population of the entire Triland Island is about 170,000, and more than 20,000 people have been lost at once, and they are all young people on the island, not only let the parliament blow up the pot, but also the people are all in chaos, The whole city is shrouded in a bleak cold, the most leisurely August in previous years, but at this time it is like a cold winter, who still has the heart to do business at this time,

In the battle of Balka, I heard that the Thor of the Falcon Empire easily crossed the city wall and bombarded the city, leading to a great collapse in the army, not to mention that the remnants of the Haiguo army on the island were less than 8,000, but the imperial legions gathered in front of them were more than 30,000 elites, and there were also sharp siege weapons Thor, and the combat method of sweeping all the way made the Haiguo parliamentarians realize a problem, the army operation is not a naval operation, the sea confrontation, the battleship fights, because the ship is limited, the loss of tens of thousands of people is already a heavy loss, but the army fights, for a city and a place, and even the early confrontation is a trial, filling in one or two thousand lives is really too normal,

For the Falcon Empire, which has a population of more than 200 million, even if 100,000 people die, it is just a drop in the bucket, but for the Sea Country, which only has Triland Island left, let alone 100,000 people, even if it is 20,000 now, it is already an unbearable loss! The battle situation is tilted, the army has chosen to retreat and defend to the death, the Falcon Empire's troops are less than twenty miles away from the central area, the imperial scout cavalry wearing black armor and looking fierce looks are blatantly swaying in the area within the field of vision outside the central area, the defenders on the city wall are nervous, and the central area, which once thought it was a safe area, also began to tremble under the pressure of the war,

He was sent to negotiate with the Falcon Empire to surrender, and the conditions were revised several times, even if there are still problems, you can still continue to talk, I haven't heard that the negotiations are completed at one time, but the problem is that the imperial side actually sent the surrender document back, which scared Prince Anji,

This is the third time that the Falcon Empire has sent back the surrender document, what is going on? Is it dissatisfied with the surrender conditions? Or is the Falcon Empire not planning to accept the surrender of the Sea Kingdom at all! If the former, although the problem is very troublesome, after all, it is not dead, and if it is not satisfied with the surrender conditions, then surrender unconditionally, no matter what, first save everyone's lives, and then talk about what rights. Wealth, at this moment, what is the meaning, it can be given up, this is politics, but if the other party is the latter, it is the precursor of the massacre that destroys the sex! This idea suddenly came out of Prince Anji's mind, and this person suddenly felt a chill on his back, and cold sweat wet his clothes,

The Falcon Empire swept through Obarro. There are really not a few rumors of annexing the two empires before and after, slaughtering the city and destroying the country, the blatant shelling of Gangfei Kyoto, and the casualties of tens of thousands of people are not undone, who dares to guarantee that the Falcon Empire does not have the same idea of slaughtering all the people on the island of Triland,

Just when Prince Anji's thoughts were in turmoil, the carriage suddenly shook and stopped. There was a cacophony of voices ahead

"What's the matter?" asked Prince Anji, frowning slightly, and through the window of the carriage, he saw hundreds of people gathered in front of the gate of a building in front of him. Hundreds of officers in naval uniforms, and that building was the residence of the Speaker of Parliament, Andrabo, as the Speaker. A squad of soldiers is often arranged at the door, and a squad of twenty people is divided into two positions to rotate. Ten people at a time, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual effect, this is the central area, the madman who dares to assassinate the general speaker here has not yet appeared, but today is different, the arrivals are all naval officers, among which there are also several detachment admirals, and the admiral on the shoulders of the admiral star is very dazzling in the sun

"My lord, this is the officers petitioning His Excellency the Speaker General," said the detachment leader sitting opposite

"Petition? It's a threat!" Prince Anji's eyes lit up, he was not a fool, his eyebrows rose slightly, the army side dared to do that, if it was impossible without the support of the Speaker,

This Speaker General Andrabo was crushed to death by himself in the past, but this time he turned over, and he even thought of such a stupid trick as winning over the army to suppress the navy, since he did it himself, then bear it himself, who does he think he is? He also wants to suppress this unruly guy in the navy! Soldiers are bloody!

"Don't see the blood, don't see the rest," said Prince Anji to the detachment leader

"Understood!" The captain of the detachment nodded, got out of the car, and walked to the front crowd, everyone gathered here, and just let Prince Anji see it, naturally it is not a coincidence, there are so many coincidences in the world, most of them are man-made coincidences, that is, waiting for Prince Anji's words, although it is a refusal, after all, everyone is still a disciplined soldier, this naked pressure on the speaker of the council, if it is the heyday of the navy, the parliament will also choose to be silent, but now is the weakest period of the navy, if there is no big man who is willing to come forward in front, after all, there is still consideration,

As Prince Anji's attitude showed that, the gathered people began to walk towards the door, with an extremely unkind hardness in their eyes, which immediately made the nervous face of the captain of the guard at the door white,

"You...... What are you going to do? This is the residence of Speaker Andrabo, please leave" The captain of the guard asked in a trembling voice, still dutiful, trying to maintain his composure, mainly thinking that everyone is a soldier anyway, why don't you beat yourself up!

"What are you, don't you know how to salute when you see Shangguan?"

One of the officers, a particularly stout admiral, walked in front of the soldier with a figure-eight step, looked up and down with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said, "The squad leader of the army? The stout admiral had amazing strength, and he pushed the guard captain more than a meter away with one hand, and only made a spiral to stabilize it, the pointed helmet on his head was crooked, and the frightened guard captain wanted to rush forward, but was immediately blocked by several naval officers with sneers on their faces

"What's the hurry, everyone is a soldier, you really have to tear your face to look good!"

The corners of one of the naval officers grinned, revealing a mouthful of white and amazing teeth, and said in a strange tone, "Rush over at this time, believe it or not, one person and one punch can also cripple you!"

The captain of the guards shuddered, they are all officers, although it is not a system, but since it is a sea country, it is natural to build a country with a navy, the strength of the navy is obvious to all, first-class people are in the navy, only second- and third-rate people will have to join the army, didn't they also want to join the navy at the beginning, if it weren't for the assessment of the guò, they would not have joined the army stationed on the island for thousands of years, although the navy is now finished, but the strength of the navy is still there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you really want to see the Speaker, and you need me to report it!"

The captain of the guard raised his hand again and again, with a pleading face, now he can't manage so much, since he is looking for the general speaker, then let the general speaker deal with it, who doesn't know that since the parliament passed that decree, the resentment of the navy has been great, and many of the owners of the designated houses are people from the navy, thinking that they are fighting bloodily for the sea country outside, and after coming back, they can't even keep their home, listening to the complaints and cries of their wives and children, as long as it is a man, he will be angry, and he really wants to keep stopping, that is, he is the enemy of the entire navySo many people really beat themselves to death, and I'm afraid that no one will dare to stand up! Who would be the enemy of an officer of the entire naval system for the sake of an irrelevant little person!

"I will not accept the violent petition of the navy! If there is anything to say to the parliament, this is my home! Inform the city defense, if the other party continues to make trouble, all of them will be arrested" The president of the Andrabo parliament angrily rejected the petition of the naval officer,

As for the reason, it is mainly because the navy is self-contained, and the officers and subordinates only obey the Admiralty, and they have always ignored the olive branch he stretched out, which completely angered the speaker.

At this time, I am still so arrogant, I don't know that the phoenix with lost hair is not as good as a chicken! Now that the door is blocked, the intention is not good! The two hundred and five members of the navy may really dare to beat themselves! Where does this general speaker dare to show his head (to be continued......
