After a while, Pat finally put down Louis XIII's imperial edict and said with a frown: "Your Majesty didn't care about your ministers because you and I helped him manage the government affairs, and at that time, your majesty was in his prime and there was no need to think about the future. It’s different now. Your Majesty has only a short time and has enjoyed the supreme power for a lifetime. Your Majesty is not willing to give this power to others. The three princes have been tacitly allowed by your Majesty to develop their own power. Kemal has been deliberately supported and promoted by your Majesty. , is the best proof. Your Majesty hopes that these people will restrain you and me as a faction, in the hope that a general trend will be formed in the future, so that you and I will have to give up our historical commitments and accept a prince to become the future emperor of the empire. Their The forces have not developed smoothly under our sniping, and they cannot pose a challenge to us now, but His Majesty has no more time for them to develop slowly, so he wants to gain people's support and strengthen his momentum by caring for the ministers!"
Donald said in a cold and categorical voice: "Huh, Your Majesty, that's just an idiot's dream. We will never give up on the promise of history!"
Pat also said solemnly: "Well, your and my lifelong belief is to maintain the promise of history and never change!" Then he said a little awkwardly: "But your Majesty is also very determined this time to win people's hearts. Look at your Majesty. In order to achieve the goal without definite evidence, we directly concluded that the Fulo Federation kidnapped Hutchinson Thomas, which made us very passive. Besides, this is the first time in thousands of years that His Majesty has given you and me such an order. It’s not easy for us to disobey an imperial edict.” As he spoke, he handed the imperial edict to Donald’s hand.
Donald unfolded the imperial edict and glanced at it. He thought about it for a while and said: "The three reasons in the imperial edict. The first one is that the Fulo Federation invaded the empire through the online world. It is easy to defend one or two. We can report the last Shadow Operation to His Majesty. , since it was our empire that provoked the other federation in the first place, it is justifiable for the other federation to retaliate against our empire. There is no need to make a fuss. The second federal fleet crossed the center line of the Interstellar Grand Canyon again and again to provoke. It is even simpler. This is the reason for the border conflict between our two countries. Daily operations have been tested countless times in history, but none of them are worth refuting. Article 3: The Fulo Federation kidnapped Hutchinson Thomas. Although the news we have now is that the Blood Dragon Pirates said so, the Fulo Federation’s Fleet 101 actually went to the Pirate Nebula to stop our Task Force A..." He hesitated at the end.
Pat instead smiled and said: "Donald, do you really think it was the Fulo Federation that kidnapped Hutchinson Thomas? Haha, my old friend, others don't know the inside story. Don't you still understand the situation? There is someone in the Rich The Luo Federation, it is really the Fuluo Federation that has kidnapped the empire’s frontier officials, and he will definitely inform you and me. I think this is because His Majesty is deliberately showing off, to win people’s hearts, and at the same time make you and I have to agree to declare war on the Fuluo Federation. As for the Luo Federation, The Fulo Federation Fleet 101 went to the Pirate Nebula to stop our Task Force A. It was entirely because the Fulo Federation deliberately targeted the Empire. After all, we first implemented Shadow Operation against them, and then defeated their network invasion. They held their breath. Just take revenge on our empire under the guise of safeguarding the "Win-Win Pact"."
Donald shook his head, narrowed his piercing eyes, and said: "I think things are not that simple! Many major events have happened in the empire recently, such as the Panhua parade, the Fulo Federation network invasion, and Governor Hutchinson Thomas was The kidnapping of the Blood Dragon Pirates, these three major events happened almost at the same time. I don’t believe there is any connection behind them. It’s just that due to the entangled interests of all parties, the investigation of them ended hastily, so that the truth was not revealed. The world. In addition, the recent series of actions of the Fuluo Federation, according to our empire’s spy reports in the Fuluo Federation, are all due to the so-called invisible head of the Fuluo Federation, Yu Zhong. Yu Zhong is the spy chief, and kidnapping and extortion are really happening. Maybe he can do it. It is said that Yu Zhong intends to run for the head of state election of the Fuluo Federation. In order to increase his support rate, he may actually dare to kidnap the empire's frontier officials. Don't forget, Yu Zhong is from the Panhua ethnic group. He has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation of the Panhua clan in the Empire many times!"
After hearing this, Pat's cloudy eyes suddenly burst into light, and he asked in surprise: "Donald, are you serious about this? Hasn't Yu Zhong always had no interest in being the head of state of the Fulo Federation? It turns out that the news we got This has always been the conclusion, why did Yu Zhong's attitude suddenly change drastically? Yu Zhong is the most powerful force in the Fuluo Federation, and what he does will have a major impact on our future plans! Hum! , it seems that the director of the Imperial Security Bureau should be replaced, but they didn’t report such important news in time, damn it!”
Duke Pat, who had always looked kind, was filled with murderous intent at this moment. It seemed that he attached great importance to Yu Zhong, so the Imperial Security Bureau failed to report the change in Yu Zhong's behavior pattern in time, which made him very angry.
Donald waved his hand and persuaded: "Pat, don't get excited. I came to this conclusion myself based on various gossips. This matter has nothing to do with the Imperial Security Bureau. Don't blame Varus Butler. He has managed the Imperial Security Bureau well over the years, without any mistakes, and he can complete various tasks in an orderly manner. He is a rare stable and comprehensive talent. Haha, let’s talk about the channels I used, Wei How could Russ Butler's Imperial Security Bureau be qualified to contact him? Yu Zhong's sudden change of attitude was because his only daughter was kidnapped some time ago, and some powerful people from the Fulo Federation were involved. Yu Zhong It’s difficult for Zhongya to get rid of those people at once. In any case, Yuzhong’s official status in the Fuluo Federation is not too high. This incident may be the core reason for Yuzhong’s sudden change in attitude.”
After hearing this, Pat said quietly: "It's so cold at high places! Yu Zhong also has many enemies in the Fulo Federation. It seems that the actions of those enemies really annoyed Yu Zhong and made him want to control Fu Luo Federation. The power of the Luo Federation is waiting for an opportunity to eliminate the enemy." Suddenly his eyes became a little hot, and he smiled: "Haha, Donald, my old friend, this news of yours has solved our big trouble! I was struggling with how to solve your Majesty's problem. Regarding the issue of declaring war on the Fulo Federation, the so-called ministers of His Majesty, we must not directly resist the decree, but in order to realize the historical promise, we cannot casually go to war with the Fulo Federation. Now, okay, the Fulo Federation The general election will enter the competition within a few months. The addition of Yu Zhong will inevitably lead to more intense competition between the parties in the Fuluo Federation. By then, they will be in a mess internally. We can minimize the impact by declaring war on them. If the situation If you allow it, maybe we can take advantage of the opportunity to realize the historical promise!”
Donald was startled and asked: "Are we going to advance our original plan to declare war on the Fulo Federation instead of slowly preparing? You know, we haven't completed the first step yet!"
Pat said seriously: "Old man, it's not about advancing, but making reasonable adjustments. Any plan must be changed according to the actual situation, and cannot be rigidly unchanged. Thousands of years ago, when the promise of history began, who could Thinking that the general trend of the universe has become so unpredictable. At that time, any country would think that the Federation of Intelligent Life in the Universe would permanently dominate the world, and everyone could only survive under the rules it established. But it turned out that " The "Deep Space" battleship battle game broke everyone's stereotyped understanding. The moment that XII super-space battleship withstood the antimatter annihilation bomb in the game, the world changed. The Universe Intelligent Life Federation led The era of everything is over! How many countries are desperately developing their military power, how many countries are secretly accumulating strength, and countless careerists are ready to take action. Everyone is welcoming the arrival of a chaotic and great era. It is said that Biyu Both the United States and the Ross Empire have discovered some clues in their efforts to break through to the fifth-level civilization, and their scientific research funds and military expenditures have both increased three times. Adolf John of the Aleman Republic has even ignored the Universal Intelligent Life Federation. Warnings, time and time again preaching that the Treaty of Donli was an unequal treaty imposed on them by the First World War and must be abolished. The Saxon Kingdom and the Republic of Faklu signed a Treaty on Joint Scientific Research and a Treaty on Mutual Security Assistance ", concentrating the manpower and material resources of the two countries to try to break through the fifth-level civilization together, and at the same time establish a military mutual assistance alliance. Other countries are similar, and they are all actively responding to changes in the cosmic situation. Old man, in line with the general trend of the cosmos, our empire and the Federation The countless years of entanglement may come to a happy end in our hands."
Donald was an iron-blooded soldier, but it was a pity that he could not lead the empire's army to fight a large-scale war until he retired. It was a pity. After hearing Pat's macroscopic discussion, there was an excited look on his face, and he was gearing up. Said: "Yes, Pat, the general trend of the universe has changed. While we are striving to realize our historical commitments, if conditions permit, we can also take advantage of the situation to destroy the Fulo Federation and incorporate them into the empire's territory! What do you mean?"
Pat pondered for a long time and said in a deep voice: "We have informed His Majesty that we agree to declare war on the Fulo Federation, but it will take three months to prepare. The empire's fleet in the Tyrannosaurus Galaxy is more than capable of defending, but it is not powerful enough to attack. It is necessary to mobilize the main fleets of various star systems in the empire to break through the defense line of the Nevada system in one fell swoop. During this preparation time, we can continue to strategically confuse the Fulo Federation."
One day later, Emperor Louis XIII received the memorials from Pat and Donald in the Saint's Palace. Seeing that both of them accepted the imperial edict, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then curled his lips and murmured to himself: "3 The preparation time of one month is quite reasonable. It seems that you are indeed loyal to the empire, but you are not loyal to me!"
