Ms. Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either

A person with a straighter temperament is always better guessed, especially if this person is the head of the military. Wei Na does not dislike Ernest's character, and it always makes people feel at ease that he is in charge of the military.This is probably why the older brother, who is extremely strict with the entire aristocratic class, is closer to friends than subordinates to Ernest.At least you know that the twists and turns in his heart are filled with loyalty.

Wei Na cast her eyes on the other two, and Arthur, the mayor of Londinium, also had an ugly expression, and his anger was palpable, but compared to Ernest, he more or less restrained his former military temper. Good control of the emotions that need to be vented.Although Winston's complexion was not very good-looking, it was a little duller than the other two.He has experienced a lot, and his experience has made him surprised and angry when this kind of thing happens, but he will not be outraged.

Vera asked:

"That's what the three of you called together today. What do you think we should do to save the Prince of Wales?"

Ernest snorted coldly, squeezed his fist, and said bluntly:

"I'll go back and inform the General Staff to come up with a battle plan for taking Colombia within three days!"

Victoria has been developing so smoothly recently, and the frontier cities have been wiped out because of the northern rebellion. Recently, they have been stable like a group of rabbits, and they dare not let a fart go.The infected people in China have also benefited from the series of new policies of His Royal Highness Wayne, and they have settled down a lot recently.The power of the military has long been suffocated, and they are gearing up to find someone unlucky to vent their anger.Isn't Columbia brought to the lips?

How dare you hold His Highness Wayne hostage?Within three days, the steam armor will arrive in your Washington State, and the Federal Congress will give you a blow!

The mayor, Arthur, smiled helplessly, frowning slightly, apparently not agreeing with his old superior's proposal.

The distance between Victoria and Columbia is not too far, but it is far from the level of sending troops as soon as they say they want to send troops. This is not to suppress domestic rebellion. Empty and clouded by northern rebellion, Victoria is dragged back into yet another trouble.This is undoubtedly a waste of this hard-won golden age.

For him and the bureaucrats behind him, if the effect that can be achieved at a large cost can be achieved at a minimum cost, war is always the last resort.

After deliberating for a while, he carefully integrated the interests of the military and the political circles in his mind, and boldly proposed:

"I think we can protest and condemn Colombia, and formally submit a stern warning letter. And send a group of troops to create some friction in Colombia's border cities. Give them a little wink, and put Vin Your Highness will take it back."

"What do you mean? Columbia is threatening the life of the royal family!"

Ernest looked at Arthur with dissatisfaction. He didn't expect that his former subordinate would stand up to oppose his opinion at this time.

If you don't show Victoria's iron fist to those arrogant Colombian traitors at this time, they really will forget who is the "father"!

Arthur poked his neck and explained:

"Marshal, don't worry. If you start a war rashly, it is very likely to completely anger the Colombians..."

"Is our Victorian Empire afraid of Columbia?"

"But His Royal Highness Wayne is still in Colombia, and rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone a group of daring traitors?" Arthur raised his voice and explained, "We should put the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales as the first priority! "

"Well....."

Ernest choked for a moment, and he came to his senses, knowing that the answer to instigate a war at this time was not in line with Wei Na's proposition of "rescuing the Prince of Wales".But being so refuted by the old subordinates, he was somewhat uncomfortable.He could only give Wei Na a sorry look, and silently took a step back, expressing his concession and obeying the arrangement.

Wei Na sighed helplessly.

This is probably why my brother wants to reform the Victorian army.Although Ernest is an excellent general, he is not perfect and has his own shortcomings. This shortcoming is that he is easily impulsive, has a slightly irritable temper, and is too persistent in his own judgments. He is not very capable. Heed the advice of others.

This problem also became more serious as he grew older. In peacetime, this shortcoming may not matter. After all, both Wei Na and Wei En can be considered as the last insurance.But what about on the battlefield?An impulsive general, on those occasions where it is too late to report to the rear and needs to judge on the spot, the reckless judgment made may lead to the destruction of an army.

After all, Ernest and the Norfolk family are politicians who have become monks halfway. He, who is used to using his fists, still has a long way to go on the road of trade-offs and compromises in politics.But Victoria's progress is very fast. If he walks too slowly, he may have to be left behind.

Hope he can work harder.

Wei Na turned her eyes to the last Winster.Winston has been pondering since just now, until now he finally spoke:

"I support Mr. Arthur's idea, but it's still not safe enough, and it's not enough to demonstrate Victoria's inviolable authority. I think our actions should be bigger."

Wei Na raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty, I don't think simple border friction is enough. We should give the Colombians two options, release them, or hand over the city."

"The unicorn will protect His Royal Highness Wayne in secret. The military can send a part of the army to cut off and surround the Colombian mobile city close to Victoria's territory. I remember that there are seven Colombian cities close to Victoria, so give them seven days, each at least In one day, we destroy a city."

"Destroyed?" Wei Na was a little surprised.Winston shrugged, and replied as a matter of course:

"Destroy, Victoria does not need traitors to resubmit, the great empire must maintain its position."

Kill so many people in so many cities for this reason?

Wei Na still can't accept this kind of thing, she shook her head:

"The solution is to do as you said, to destroy and take over. The people are innocent. Victoria's greatness lies not in slaughter, but in forgiveness. Compared with building the empire on the blade, it carries the danger of being pierced by the blade. I I would prefer Victoria to be based on law and morality. It has been decided."

Wei Na finally finalized the plan, and the three of them bowed to express their approval. No one noticed the gratifying smile on the corner of Winster's mouth.

Your Majesty, you are qualified.

He glanced at Theresa, who was sitting silently under the window sill as the audience.Winston originally thought that the princess of the Demon Race would convey to Her Majesty the same bad revenge ideas as her brother.After all, the newly appointed President of the Kazdale Branch of the Military Academy, Tracy, was an out-and-out militarist and nationalist in the Unicorn investigation report.

Therefore, although he also learned to some extent in the investigation report that Theresia and her brother had always been at odds, he still felt a little worried about Theresia staying with Her Majesty the Queen, but now it seems that It seemed that he was overthinking.

Teresia, the Demon Race, and the Sarkaz people, it is amazing that they can have two completely different ideologies even though they are brothers and sisters.

Is this why His Highness Wayne has taken a fancy to you?

In the hearts of the long-lived people whose lives have spanned the years of Terra, their evaluation of the Sarkaz has slightly increased.

PS: Although I also know that if you don't watch the rhythm, you won't be affected.But in fact, as the creator of an Ark fan, this matter has indeed reached the present.Pretending not to see can only be deceitful, and seeing it makes me feel bad.I can only hope that yj will support himself and break these doubts.

Chapter 234 Chapter 53 Chianti: Me and My Last Backstab (4k)

Colombia, Federal Assembly.

In addition to the busy election period every year, the MPs usually have nothing to do.Most of the daily work is arguing with members of the opposition party in the parliament building, or thinking about how to get more money.

Some time ago, because of the preparation of the science and technology expo, it was necessary to show the whole Terra: the appearance of the cooperation and unity of the Colombian people. The parliament stopped for a while, but now, the expo has been officially held, and Rhine Life has also gone Well, they naturally quarreled again.

There are many reasons, the main one being the uneven distribution of spoils.

The "donkeys" felt that it was they who came up with the idea of ​​balancing the Loken water tank and supporting Rhine's life, so according to the usual practice, they naturally had to take the lion's share of the money.

But the "Elephants" feel that although you came up with the idea, we are the ones who are busy with this matter. It would be a little inappropriate for us to drink some leftover soup if you eat meat. All those who refused were also very straightforward.

For this reason, the two parties fought for almost three days, until Rhine's life was almost at an end, and the two parties did not come up with a cooperation plan that both parties were satisfied with.If this kind of administrative efficiency was placed in Victoria, it would have been regarded as a traitor who hindered the development of the motherland early on, and was dragged out by the unicorn list one by one to eradicate the rebellion.

But what I didn't expect was that when the chief referee walked into the parliament building on time today, intending to announce the "opening of the vegetable market" today, he found that the parliament hall was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

"What's the matter, gentlemen?"

The chief referee sat in his seat suspiciously, glanced at the people in the prototype venue, and asked curiously,

"Could it be that you have already discussed the solution to the problem before me? Then I have to listen carefully."

The gentlemen in the parliament hall looked at each other for a long time, when the referee and others were a little flustered, finally one of the councilors said:

"...No, Lord Referee, don't you know what happened last night?"

what happened last night?

The referee was silent. What happened last night?After the parliament adjourned last night, he went home first, changed his clothes, and then received a Sargon Pasha who came to Colombia to visit a technology fair.It has to be said that the Sargons are barbaric, and the gift that Pasha brought to the referee turned out to be a camel beast that was much larger than the normal size.Although it is said that this camel beast is kept in Pasha's palace, it is a great honor for ordinary people to see it, and it is very valuable.But the chief referee can't use this thing, and this kind of international gift can't be sold on the market, and it can only be kept as a pet in the end.

For this reason, the chief referee had to build a garden for it, which was really a big loss.

Afterwards, he bid farewell to Pasha, lied to his wife that there was a dinner party at night, went to an underground arena alone, watched a deathmatch of Sarkaz slaves, and returned to the hotel contentedly after spending a lot of money. One lady, had a nice evening.

Because he was afraid that his wife would find out, his personal mobile phone was always turned off, and his work mobile phone...who would still think about work while doing that kind of thing?They Colombians have always been proud of the "perfect separation of work and life".

"So, what happened?"

"Something went wrong with the New York Financial Exchange, and Rheinland was acquired."

"Ah?" The chief referee opened his mouth and asked quickly, "Who bought it? The military?"

In his impression, the military is the only force in Colombia that has the guts to play a game of predators in the political circles.But he really didn't expect that the military would actually take action at this time, and why did they choose Rhine Life?

How did they do it, when did these reckless people start making such calculations without telling us?Is this trying to tear the skin off?

It was unbearable for the cooked duck to fly away from his mouth, and the chief referee immediately said:

"Initiate a question to the military, and we must get Rhine's life back. It was our stuff at that time!"

"But not the military..." the congressman explained, "The person who bought Rhine Life was a Victorian businessman. The military seemed to want to do something, but they were cut off by Victoria."

Victorians, how does this involve Victorians again?

The chief referee felt that he was going crazy, so he relaxed all night. How could so many things come up?The boiled duck of Rhine Life flew away, and there were various indications that the military had plans to cut off the political circles, but in the end even they failed to cut it off. Time to get involved with the Victorians?

The chief referee was very angry, but his reason told him that he should calm down now.He sat on his seat rubbing his forehead and asked:

"Is there a way to get Rhine Life back? It doesn't matter if you spend some money, Rhine Life is an important chess piece for us."

In order to support Rhine's life when the Loken water tank family is the only one, what they spent was not as simple as a little money.The congressman's contacts, the interests of all parties, and the compromise of the monopoly oligarchs, in order to ensure that Rhine Life grows slowly at their pace, their expenses are immeasurable.Give up now, the sunk cost is too high.

The political circle is like a gambler, who presumptuously invested too much in this seemingly sure-to-win gamble, and now someone tells him that he has lost, unless the gun is pointed at their foreheads, otherwise they will absolutely not accept it of.

"That's the problem."

The speaking congressman sighed, his face was tangled,

"Our people can't get close to the New York Financial Exchange now, it's blocked by the military."

"Block, why do they?" The chief referee widened his eyes, and said incredulously, "They didn't submit an application to the Federal Assembly, and they didn't submit a plan to the New York State Government. Why did they block the financial exchange? Did they know? What are the consequences of doing so!"

Blocking is simply the next strategy!Those reckless people, didn't they ever think about the devastating blow to the reputation that the blockade of the financial exchange would cause to the exchange that had finally developed? !Without even the ability to maintain fairness, freedom, and security in transactions, how could Colombia gain a foothold in Terra's financial market in the future.Wouldn't they have to send back the little bit of share they finally threw out from Londinium? !

In fact, the Brigadier General thought of this.But the problem is, he's just a brigadier general.The military is a violent organization. It is absolutely impossible to expect a violent organization to "capture two people" after it is dispatched. How can a tiger return home obediently when it comes out of the cage and its teeth are not stained with blood?

"The reason they gave was that the Victorian businessman was carrying weapons of mass destruction."

The MP replied,

"They refused to withdraw their troops."

"mdf!" Cursing, the referee said, "Send someone to negotiate with the military and define this as an anti-terrorism military operation. Use our media channels to release this news. We only give them a day , If you don’t get it done within a day, just get the hell out of me. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being cruel... Also, send someone to the Victorian embassy to ask about their attitude. Remember, be patient. We can't afford to mess with them..."

Before the referee finished his long speech, the gate of the Federal Assembly was kicked open.Wearing a top hat and holding a black scepter carved with a lion statue, the man approached the parliament hall arrogantly.

The person who came was none other than the ambassador managed by Victoria's ambassador to Colombia.

"You don't have to look for me, I'll come to you."

He glanced at the councilors who were puzzled and shocked by his sudden appearance, and who were somewhat guilty, sneered, and suddenly shouted angrily:

"You tmd have a big deal!"

"Sir, tell me clearly, what big event have we had?"

They were all slapped on the face, although they felt guilty, but they couldn't hold back their face, so the chief referee could only bite the bullet and stepped forward to ask.

Ambassador Victoria sneered:

"You imprisoned a Victorian citizen in the New Amsterdam Financial Exchange?"

The chief referee turned dark and retorted:

"Please pay attention to your words, Mr. Ambassador, that is Columbia's New York State, not Victoria's New Amsterdam! As for the Victorian citizens you mentioned, I am going to send someone to the embassy to inform you..."

The chief referee took a deep breath. At this time, even in order to maintain Colombia's face, he could only bite the bullet and lie to the military.

"According to the investigation results of our country's military, there is sufficient evidence that the so-called Victorian citizen of your country may be carrying weapons of mass destruction. Yes, a heinous attack. Our army has blocked the exchange to protect the security of Colombia, please exercise restraint and wait for the results of our investigation."

Possibly, the two ambiguous words of waiting for the result prevented the chief referee from talking to death.He didn't know who the Victorian businessman was, but judging from the angry look on the Victorian ambassador's face, the businessman might be quite powerful, and he might be someone or a relative in the core city of Londinium.This kind of person cannot be completely offended, but Rhine's life must be taken back.Now there is only one way

——That is to let the military arrest him first, and then let the politicians come to negotiate terms with him, scare him first, let him spit out Rhine's life, and then the politicians and the military will jointly issue him a compensation to appease him one time.In the end, it was an oolong to explain to the outside world. He randomly pulled a death row prisoner from the prison to block the knife, and then expelled a few Ursas diplomats to divert attention.That's about it.

But for some reason, after hearing the official words from the referee, Ambassador Victoria not only did not slow down, but instead smiled angrily. He took out the recording pen from his arms and waved to the referee:

"I have recorded all your speeches. You are the chief referee of the Federal Assembly. I have the right to believe that your speech can represent the decision of the entire Colombian Federal Assembly."

"Mr. Chief Referee, you are really a very courageous person. This recording will be announced to Quan Taila at the press conference held by Victoria National Television tomorrow. , persecution, and humiliation!"

He sneered and growled:

"The end of Columbia is not far away!"

After saying that, he turned and slammed the door and left.

Behind him, the chief referee froze in place. He scratched his ears, his pupils constricted, took a deep breath, looked at the surrounding congressmen, and asked incredulously:

"My ears are not very good recently. I must have misheard. Did you hear what Mr. Ambassador just said, who is the Victorian surrounded by the military?"

There was a deathly silence in the hall.No one dared to say that they heard clearly.At this moment, there were more than 100 deaf people in the parliament hall.

Seeing that no one answered, the chief referee had to sift out the memories of a few minutes ago from his overloaded brain again, and repeated:

"Prince of Wales, Prince of Wales, Prince of Wales..."

"Is there someone to translate for me, the Prince of Wales is that businessman in that business?"

His face suddenly distorted, his beard, mouth, and eyebrows were all wrinkled together, and the next second, the roar almost toppled the roof of the parliament building:

"Can someone give me a translation of tm, the Prince of Wales is a tmd businessman of tmd that tmd enterprise!!!"
