The Holy Castle is the largest city in western Ruhr, and is only separated from the ancestral capital of Suril's eastern region by the Peterson River, which is tens of meters wide.
With the orders of the two countries to close the treaty ports indefinitely, the originally bustling and noisy streets were in a state of depression.
Instead, there was an influx of troops and the horrified looks of the people.
The two countries of Sulu and Suzhou, which have been friendly for generations and have always lived in peace and relied on each other, are about to break out into war.
In the conference room of the City Hall of the Holy Castle, a heated argument was going on.
"Director Serov, let me remind you that retreating will only make the enemy more aggressive. The fangs of wild wolves will never fall off on their own!" A tall man roared with a voice like thunder.
"General Koyudin! Let me also remind you that blind war is more stupid than a muskrat falling into a trap just for a piece of cheese." Serov also yelled, his voice no less loud than the opposite general.
Sitting at the main seat, a fat old man with gold-rimmed glasses on his rosacea covered his forehead and said helplessly: "What's going on with you two? Why do you always quarrel when we meet? It's like arguing over trivial matters. She looks like a restless shrew! What kind of behavior is this?!"
"A trivial matter? Deputy Head of State Roger, what you said is not right! Is this a trivial matter? My 200,000 troops marched day and night, and were only assembled last night. I wanted to rest for a day, and then cross the river tomorrow to let those in the East Territory Help the bastard see what a real soldier is." When Koyujin said this, his face was already red with anger.
He waved his giant palm the size of a cattail leaf fan, pointed it at Serov, and then shouted: "But he, the foreign minister, just escaped with his tail between his legs and said he couldn't rush it. Damn it! How can we not be hasty about the war? Really? Is this a small matter?"
When Serov heard this, veins popped up in his forehead. He was about to refute, but was interrupted by another blond man present.
This guy was in his forties, much younger than the other three. He remained silent and looked gloomy.
At this moment, this dear man could no longer bear the three old men's mutual accusations, abuses, and reconciliations.
"General Koyujin, you said that the troops were only assembled yesterday. But as far as I know, all the legions were in place as early as three days ago. If you are in such a hurry to launch the attack, why did you delay it until now?" The blond man said coldly asked in a voice.
"Mr. Masuro, as the senior national security adviser, you can just take care of your duties. As for the army, let those who are familiar with it worry about it! Maybe in your eyes, there is no difference between the completion of the assembly and the arrival of the troops. However, in the eyes of soldiers, the completion of the assembly means that the people, equipment, transportation capacity, logistics, planning, coordination, etc. are all done. Otherwise, no matter how many people are 'in place', they are just a bunch of mobs! Let alone a war. , It would be nice if you can avoid being trampled to death by your own people!" General Ke Yujin said leisurely.
At this time, his tone was calm and his logic was clear. He was completely different from the irritable old man just now.
The blond man's face turned red when he was told this, and he secretly blamed himself for not jumping out at the right level.
He was appointed by the head of state to come to the Holy Castle to monitor the actions of all parties. He had long known that Koyujin was an old and hardened piece of meat.
Masuro squinted his eyes and stared at the other person for a moment, then suddenly smiled on his face, changed his tone, and said gently: "I just made a mistake! Indeed, you are the expert in military matters. So, according to what you just said, is it right? Can we officially launch the attack tomorrow?"
"What an attack! Could it be that you just turned a deaf ear to what I said for a long time?" Serov took over the words, his tone still not polite at all.
"Director-General of Foreign Affairs, please be careful with your words! In addition, you should also know that the head of state's decision to use troops against Su Lier was largely due to the secret report you sent back. Rus mobilized 200,000 people for this purpose The army was sent to General Koyujin to personally command, just to avenge you and your men. Why do you have such an attitude now? It’s just that you don’t appreciate the protective feelings of the head of state, but you actually spoke rudely to General Koyujin. ?!" Masuluo asked with a cold expression on his face.
"Hey! This kid is still too young! How can he so openly sow discord and think others are fools?!" Roger, the fat old man, rubbed his nose and thought to himself.
Sure enough, Serov became excited when he heard this.
He laughed for a while, and then curled his lips and said: "Care? If I haven't come back, you will launch an attack. Is this protection? Is it because you think I die slowly?! Huh! That's all, for the country. It is my duty to sacrifice my life. But let me be clear. Why use troops according to my secret report?! I suggested that the head of state assemble troops to prevent unexpected events, but when did he say that troops would be sent to launch an attack? Who started this rumor? !”
Uncle Serov acted like a gangster and said "I", which immediately brought the atmosphere of the meeting to a climax.
"Mr. President! You really need to change your temper. Well! You also need to pay attention to the wording. We are already civilized people and we are in high positions. Don't let the younger generations read the joke. Ah!" Deputy Head of State Roger advised earnestly.
He didn't wait for the angry senior adviser to speak, and then continued: "You suggested that Chen Bing be here, but you didn't allow the troops to be sent out. Could it be that you got some new information? You need to report it to the head of state and make another decision?"
Serov rolled his eyes at the fat old man, took the step he sent, and said in a cold voice: "The war between the two countries is of great importance. The situation is changing rapidly, how can we be so hasty? I did get new information, and I need to report it to Presidential Report.”
"You politicians are so indecisive! Thinking about this and that, it's better to have a good fight! If you ask me, let's start tomorrow. Anyway, this is what the head of state means." Koyukin shouted impatiently.
His voice grew louder again, making the roof buzz.
"That's not possible! Since the situation has changed, let's inform the head of state first! What do you think? Mr. Masuro." Deputy head of state Roger frowned.
Masuro was extremely depressed at this time, and he vaguely felt that he had fallen into a trap set by the other party.
Red face, white face, black face, these three old guys sing like a drama.
A play to prevent Luers from attacking Suriel.
He really wanted to take out Shang Fang's sword, which "can be used with full power", and force Koyujin to send troops.
However, the other party has already laid out the "reasons" for not recommending sending troops. If he still insists on going his own way, will his intention be too obvious?
Moreover, what is the so-called "new information"?
Masuro thought about it and decided that it would be best to make a steady move.
"Master Chief, what is the new information you are talking about? Since you and the deputy head of state have suggested reporting the matter to the head of state first, I can do it for you." He said seriously.
Hearing this, Serov pondered for a long time and then looked at the fat old man Roger.
"If you have anything to say, just say it! There are no outsiders here. The head of state has great trust in Mr. Masuro, and they also have fast and safe communication channels. Let him report to the head of state, which can save a lot of time!" The deputy head of state threw out A reassurance.
"Well! That's fine! Mr. Masuro, please tell the head of state, Prince Suril Sigton, that he is secretly colluding with the Telji Federation. They want to provoke a war between the Sulu and Lu countries and make profits from it. "Serov said in a deep voice.
"What? Sigdon is colluding with the Tergi people? He, he is not..." Masuro said in shock.
Before he could finish his words, he closed his mouth, realizing that he might have revealed something unintentionally.
"Oh! This news is very important! I will report to the head of state immediately! Today, today's meeting will be held here first!" The guy hurriedly changed the topic, and left after speaking.
"Hey! As expected of a senior advisor, it seems he knows a lot of information that we don't know!" Deputy Head of State Roger said meaningfully as he looked at the door that was slowly closing.
"Hey! Who cares! With just these people, how can they make a big fuss? Oh, my old brother, you're worried about me! Come on, let's go drink, I'll treat you, and I'll take care of you! By the way, my two Where is the son? Why didn't they come back together?" General Koyujin had already changed his face and said to Lord Serov affectionately.
