At the same time, in a villa deep in the villa area of Silvermoon City, Humphrey was sitting in the hall, displaying his official authority, and said sternly to the leader of the priests union, Aldran, in front of him:
"Alderaan, I order you to lead all the priests of the Priests Union to exercise 'mind control' on those who oppose joining the tribe, brainwash them, and then recognize the tribe."
Alderaan's beauty turned pale on the spot, and his face, which was more beautiful than a beautiful woman, was full of sadness.
"What, you don't want to do it?"
Humphrey leaned forward and glared at Alderaan.
Cold sweat was already dripping on Aldran's forehead, and his hands were even shaking slightly, but he still retorted:
"Sir Humphrey, we can't be like this..."
Humphrey snorted: "Aldran, this is not the first time you have done this kind of work. What's wrong? Now your conscience has awakened?"
Alderaan lowered his head deeply, while Humphrey was still finishing the attack: "In the old days of Silvermoon City, you and your priests' union were responsible for brainwashing the opposition and making them obey the Sun Chaser Dynasty unconditionally. You just re- It’s just old business, I really don’t understand what you are hesitating about!”
Alderaan could only spit out one word helplessly: "Yes."
"Then go quickly!"
Humphrey waved his hand and asked Alderaan to leave.
In fact, this time the blood elves joined the tribe. If Mikaela was the hero on the surface, showing his strength to Thrall and proving the strength of the blood elves, then Humphrey was the one who solved the internal problems behind the scenes.
After all, the blood elves were once members of the alliance. In the people's concept, the orcs of the tribe are enemies, so it is difficult for them to accept the result of becoming a member of the tribe. In addition, the blood elves have always been arrogant, and it is difficult to change once a decision is made. , so joining the tribe will cause an uproar at the grassroots level.
In order to calm the situation, Humphrey adopted the "old method" of directly asking the Pastors' Union to take action and use magic to forcibly brainwash the people. Anyway, it is more convenient to brainwash now that the population is small.
Of course, the above content must be hidden from Michaela!
In Humphrey's eyes, Michaela has a kindness that politicians should not have. He will never agree to the "brainwashing" plan, so he must not let him know!
But just when Aldran walked to the door and was about to leave, there was a knock on the door!
"Dong dong dong!"
Not to mention Alderaan, even Humphrey was surprised.
I glanced at the bright moonlight outside the window. Who would come to visit me at this time?
With doubts, Humphrey motioned to Alderaan to come back first, then stepped forward to open the door and took a look:
"Huh? Minister, is it you?"
Could it be that Michaela knows that I plan to brainwash the people?
As an old bureaucrat, Humphrey tilted his head calmly and caught a glimpse of Bernard holding a pile of documents behind Michaela. He seemed to understand something:
"Please come in."
"Humphrey, something bad is happening!"
Michaela walked into the hall. Before she could finish her words, she saw a familiar figure: "Huh? Alderaan, are you here too?"
"Michaela, um... hello, minister."
Aldran waved to Mikaela, but he also noticed Humphrey's gaze and immediately explained: "I'm just here for a visit, and it has nothing to do with Humphrey."
"ah?"
Michaela's eyes widened and she looked at her old friend in surprise, unable to believe the facts in front of her.
It's night now, and the shemale Alderaan appears at Humphrey's house inexplicably, claiming that it's okay?
"It's getting darker and darker."
Torina also complained: "Michaela, you were cheated."
"roll!"
Mikaela has nothing to do with Alderaan, nor does she care about Alderaan's private life!
Fortunately, Bernard who walked into the hall was a man of action, and he immediately put the topic on the right track: "Sir Humphrey, I'm sorry for visiting late at night, but there is something urgent this time, so the minister must discuss it with you."
"What's going on?" Humphrey also realized that something was wrong.
Michaela immediately spoke: "The problem lies in the goodwill speech tomorrow by Tauren Ambassador Trust."
After that, Michaela waved her hand, and Bernard immediately handed the document to Humphrey. The latter asked Aldran to bring a chair, sat down at the big table, and read the document.
It turned out that the document in Bernard's hand was the speech sent by the minotaur ambassador Trust. It stands to reason that goodwill speeches should talk about how you are good, how good I am, and how good everyone is. However, Trust's speech is actually full of words advocating trolls.
You must know that the blood elves and the Amani trolls have a blood feud, which has caused the ordinary people to be full of deep hostility towards the trolls. Even if the Darkspear trolls and the Amani trolls in the tribe are not of the same type, this kind of thinking is unlikely to exist in the tribe today. change in a short period of time.
In other words, if Tauren Ambassador Trust reads out the speech advocating for trolls in front of the regent and other high-level officials of Silvermoon City tomorrow afternoon, the whole country will definitely be in an uproar, but that's not a big deal!
After reading the speech, Humphrey slammed the table and shouted dissatisfied: "I knew there must be something wrong with those cow heads! They are here to cause trouble!"
Michaela, who sat in front of Humphrey, immediately asked: "What should we do, Humphrey? What would you have done if you had encountered something similar before?"
Humphrey spoke up: "Minister, specifically, in the past, we usually had six options available to us."
I saw Humphrey raising a finger: "One, just let it go and smash it."
Humphrey raised two fingers: "Two, make a statement expressing regret for the speech."
Humphrey raised three fingers: "Third, file a formal protest."
Humphrey raised four fingers: "Fourth, stop aid."
Humphrey raised five fingers: "Fifth, sever diplomatic relations."
Then Humphrey lowered his finger and said, "Finally, declare war."
After saying that, Humphrey looked at Michaela, as if letting the latter choose, and for a moment, the scene fell into silence.
Torina said: "I feel like I can't choose any one!"
Michaela immediately asked: "Humphrey, which one should we choose?"
Humphrey frowned and analyzed each one:
"If you choose the first one and show it off directly, it will be equivalent to acquiescing to the content of the speech and agreeing to advocate trolls. That is absolutely impossible!"
"If we choose the second option and issue a statement expressing regret, then we will make a fool of ourselves in our diplomatic relations. After all, the other party is directly trying to make fun of us, while we are just regretting it. How ridiculous!"
"If we choose the third one and we protest, the other party won't take it seriously. This is the Minotaur's confidence, otherwise they wouldn't dare to do it."
"If you choose the fourth option and stop aid, that is simply impossible, because we have never aided the tauren. On the contrary, we are the ones who need the tribe's aid."
"If you choose the fifth option, severing diplomatic relations, unfortunately, we are already members of the tribe. The treaty for joining the tribe clearly stipulates that members must be consistent in their diplomatic stance, so it is impossible to sever diplomatic relations."
"If you choose the last one, declare war on the tauren..."
Humphrey paused tactically, and then said:
"Minister, we blood elves have just joined the tribe for less than a month, and yet we directly declare war on the elder members of the tribe. Think of the consequences!"
Even Torina admitted: "Indeed, a public declaration of war would go too far."
Mikaila also fell into deep thought. Now that the blood elves have just joined the tribe and have not yet established a stable footing, the tauren dare to come up and ride in their faces. They are really playing a good card!
So what do we do?
Suddenly, Michaela thought of something and turned to look at Bernard: "Bernard, when did you receive the speech?"
Bernard answered truthfully: "It was in the evening that the Tauren Ambassador Trust sent his men to give me the draft of tomorrow's speech."
Torina found Hua Dian and immediately asked: "How can you guarantee that that person is the minotaur ambassador's subordinate? Can't it be someone else who is playing a prank?"
Michaela retorted on the spot: "Torina, they are cow-men with horns on their heads!"
Taurens and blood elves look completely different, and only a blind person would see them wrong.
Torina didn't give up yet and continued to ask: "What about canceling the speech?"
Michaela continued to retort: "The goodwill speech is a regular part of the ambassador's visit. If it is canceled suddenly, it will make people feel strange. What's more, the speech is tomorrow afternoon, the stage has been built, and the notice has been sent out. Cancel it now. It’s too late!”
"Thankfully we got the speech in advance, otherwise we wouldn't even have time to discuss a solution...wait a minute!"
Being stirred up by Torina, Michaela suddenly discovered Hua Dian: "Bernard, you said that a subordinate of Trust took the initiative to give you the speech that night?"
Bernard nodded and said: "Yes, Minister."
At this point, not only Michaela, but also Humphrey on the side also realized: "If the Minotaur wants us to make a fool of ourselves, then he can just show us the speech script tomorrow morning. At that time, even if he wants It is also impossible to modify the content of the speech.”
"But they didn't do that."
Michaela looked at Humphrey and said, "I have a feeling that the Minotaur doesn't really want to use this speech."
Humphrey also agreed: "Yes, minister, I also think that this speech advocating trolls is probably a bargaining chip thrown by the minotaur. It should have some purpose. After all, let a minotaur deliver a speech advocating trolls." His speech is strange no matter how you look at it.”
"It seems that we must pay a visit to the tauren ambassador tomorrow morning."
Michaela immediately said to Bernard: "Can we arrange it tomorrow?"
Bernard said: "No problem, Minister."
Humphrey also said: "Minister, I will go with you this time."
The tauren ambassador is indeed more difficult than expected, and Mikaela also needs the assistance of Humphrey, an old bureaucrat.
In this way, the next day came. Bernard contacted the minotaur ambassador's men early in the morning to arrange a meeting.
What's interesting is that the tauren seem to have expected this coming, so they have been prepared for it.
So, Michaela and Humphrey walked into the hotel room of Tauren Ambassador Trust-Golden Hoof.
As soon as they walked in, Michaela saw Trust already sitting on the sofa, waiting for them! Not only that, the animal skin jacket full of indigenous flavor that Trust wore before disappeared, replaced by a black suit, white shirt and plaid tie.
Obviously, Trust, who had lost his disguise, had completely revealed his true face as a capitalist. He even held a cigar between the fingers of his right hand (the Minotaur only had three fingers) and took a puff in front of the two of them.
"welcome."
