Commonwealth of the Ocean, Yorktown.
In the parliament hall in the city center, hundreds of MPs in suits and ties were gathering together.
The noisy sound never stopped for a moment.
These fat-bellied politicians in front of us all represent the interests of the country's upper class.
Every issue determines the direction and decision-making of the country.
"Quiet, be quiet!"
At the main council member's seat, a half-bald old man picked up the wooden hammer that represented freedom and fairness and knocked it hard on the table.
next moment--
The congressmen in front of them stopped communicating and focused all their attention on the old man.
"Gentlemen, our agenda this time is very clear."
Sitting in his seat, the old man looked around at the crowd and saw that everyone had calmed down. Then he continued: "The Great Xia Empire has been in civil strife for ten years. Both economically and militarily, it has suffered heavy losses. As a result, the country’s strength is no longer what it used to be.”
"At this time, is it necessary to send troops to Daxia and take advantage of the chaos to seize the fertile land and resources of the Eastern World..."
There was a pause.
The old man smiled gloomily, like a profit-seeking speculator.
"Everyone here can express your opinion on this proposal."
As soon as these words came out.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and after a while, it fell into chaos again.
All kinds of curses and discussions came and went, and even worse, piles of documents in front of him were thrown away with a wave of his hand.
For a moment, the scene turned into a mess——
The Ocean Federation has always prided itself on freedom and democracy.
In fact, this is a regime controlled by upper-class elites, financial groups and extreme religiousism.
even so.
These hypocritical politicians and parliamentarians will still engage in protracted parliamentary discussions over a major issue.
On the surface it looks fair, but on the inside it's actually about fighting for their own interests and bargaining chips.
In terms of administrative efficiency, it can be said to be greatly compromised.
"Oh my God..."
The old man on the high platform rubbed his forehead. Although he had become accustomed to all this, he still felt a little headache.
"Damn it, please be quiet—!"
Yelling at the microphone in front of him, the old man was extremely angry. He slapped his sitting posture and roared: "You guys, come here one by one. Otherwise, we will never get a result. When the civil strife in the Great Xia Empire is settled, After that, this great opportunity was completely missed!”
Hear the words.
The excited members of Congress sat back down one after another, and the rare order was once again reflected in the assembly.
The old man sighed softly.
He knew very well that in this world, the only thing that could calm these politicians was naked interests.
"Send troops, we must send troops, we must let those monkeys in Daxia see what true civilization and freedom are!"
"But the problem is that the Daxia Empire is one of the five major human civilizations after all. The Xuanyuan family has been operating on that land for more than five hundred years, and it cannot be defeated easily."
"What I'm more concerned about is whether the investment is directly proportional to the return. Crossing the endless sea and conducting ocean operations. Such a long front requires an astronomical amount of manpower and material resources. If we cannot obtain enough benefits, such a huge cost, Is it really worth it?”
Around this sensitive topic, a member of the House of Representatives began to have different opinions.
But actually.
Everyone basically agreed to send troops to Daxia, which was experiencing civil strife.
The only thing I worry about is how much risk I will bear after starting a foreign war, and how much benefit I will get if the battle is successful.
"You don't have to worry about this."
The bald old man smiled sternly and said eloquently: "Actually, our Ocean Federation is not the only one involved in this battle. You know, in recent years, many people have been eyeing the fat mass of the Great Xia Empire and want to join us. There are many allies."
Say it.
The side door of the parliament hall was pushed open with a bang.
A large number of uniformed guards stood in two rows, and an indifferent figure slowly entered the public's field of vision.
"This is the priest of the Empire on which the sun never sets?!" someone said in shock.
"Members and gentlemen, this is our first meeting. Please take care of me."
He bowed and saluted.
The man in front of him was wearing the traditional costume of the Empire where the Sun Never Sets, and a tall red hat on his head. His identity was clearly a priest from the Empire where the Sun Never Sets.
"Let me introduce to you."
The bald old man's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "This is Mr. Crimson Tide who comes from the side of the Emperor of the Empire where the sun never sets!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was immediately in an uproar.
With his eyelids drooping, the red tide in front of him was still calm and calm, and on the surface there was no emotion at all.
"Now, please ask Mr. Crimson Tide to explain the specific plan to you."
Under the watchful eyes of a group of guards.
Crimson Tide walked forward silently, his cold attitude remained the same, as if he did not look like a normal living person.
"As you can see, the Daxia Empire has been weak for a long time, but such a behemoth has a population of hundreds of millions, and the land area is ridiculously large."
His hands were behind his back.
Crimson Tide glanced at everyone and continued: "In the past, Daxia's national power was so strong that no one dared to touch it. But now, after ten years of turmoil, their national defense strength has been internally depleted to a horrific level."
"It is no exaggeration to say that the Daxia Empire today is like a sleeping giant. The domestic situation is in chaos, princes from all over the country are busy fighting for territory, and the external defense system has long been ineffective."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Crimson Tide said in a deep voice: "This is not difficult to see from the previous invasion of the northern border by the Principality of Aisha."
"The emperor of Daxia was so stupid that he did not hesitate to cede territory and pay compensation in order to deal with his own people..."
Lift your head.
Crimson Tide deliberately raised his voice and sneered: "Do you think it is necessary for such a weak human civilization and political power to continue to exist?"
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.
Endless internal strife has left the Daxia Empire riddled with holes. Coupled with its large population and land resources, it is enough to make the surrounding bandits covet it.
"But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse..."
A councilor suddenly said: "The Great Xia Empire has a large population, which also means that the number of Night Watchmen will far exceed ours. Moreover, the power of the princes and city lords is still there, and the Xuanyuan clan is not a fool. If a dispute is rashly provoked, We may not have good fruit to eat.”
A deep luster flashed between his eyebrows.
Chi Chao brushed his sleeves, shook his head and said: "As far as I know, most of the people in the Daxia Empire, because of the civil strife, are now living worse than pigs and dogs. They have reached the point where they have no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies. situation."
"However, they still accepted it and would rather sit and wait for death. They never thought of resisting."
Sighing silently.
Crimson Tide raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "With a large population, does it mean it is strong?"
"I can't bear to kill his wife and daughter, I can't bear to humiliate his dignity, I can't bear to take away his money and land..."
Shaking his head with disdain, Chichao sneered: "No matter how many of these untouchables there are, what do you have to fear?"
