"Mr. Zhou Li, I am the first representative of this British-Southern government, von Kurtz. I will be responsible for the conversation about you and Jordan."
In the reconstructed venue, a man wearing a government uniform stood up and faced Zhou Li. This man is about forty years old, with a beard and a round face, giving people a shrewd look. Zhou Li shook hands with him, and then sat across from the man with Eluma.
"We want to confirm one thing first."
Zhou Li took out a stack of documents from the file bag nearby. Looking at Kurtz's movements, Zhou Li was startled for a moment, but his expression soon returned to normal. Kurtz didn't see it either. He just put one of the documents on the table and handed it to Zhou Li.
After taking the document, he opened it and found a "Document of Honors", which was written as the "Document of Honors of the Grand Consul" that Roja had forged. The stamp on it is exactly the same as the king's mark, and even the professional mark on the final payment is exactly the same.
"We want to know who forged this document."
The expression is very serious. For the British and Southern governments, a forged and perfect awarding document is absolutely not allowed to exist. The government's seal, the king's seal, and the professional seal. These three "tokens" are almost the foundation of the country for Yingnan. Once these three things are leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.
As the leader of the three British and Southern Dukes, von Kertz came here in person for one purpose: to suppress Zhou Li, who had unprecedented reputation in the city of Jordan; and second, to gain the skills to forge documents of award. Or people.
"The man who built this thing is dead."
Zhou Li threw the document away and said calmly: "The Gospel has been damaged. No one can make such a thing now."
Hearing this, von Kurtz frowned. Obviously, he was not very satisfied with Zhou Li's answer. In fact, what the higher-ups want is to get this technology into their hands. After all, if you can forge the three things from Yingnan, you can also forge the stamps or seals of Magnum, Three Eastern Courts, and Tariq. This is a rare opportunity for the entire Yingnan.
"Mr. Zhou Li, I think this matter needs to be discussed carefully. You know, this document has brought huge losses to Yingnan, and we don't want what happened in Jordan to happen again. What do you think?"
"Ah."
A faint sarcasm appeared on his face. Faced with the almost threatening words, Zhou Li sneered and asked, "Loss? Please tell me specifically what losses you have suffered."
"Nine million six hundred thousand gold coins were lost, 35,621 civilian casualties, only thirty-six people in the city defense force, and only twenty-two of the Knights Templar who were not disabled. 12 The third and fourth legions were completely wiped out, and the other legions lost more than half.”
Putting the casualty report on the table, von Kertz replied in a deep voice: "These losses will prevent Jordan from recovering for at least twenty years. Jordan's military strength is almost completely destroyed. Isn't this enough?"
"Ah, that's it."
A look of realization appeared on Zhou Li's face. Then he looked out the window and said with emotion: "Indeed, without this document, these losses would indeed be wrong."
Turning his head, Zhou Li's eyes were filled with chills. He stared at the man in front of him and said word by word: "Without this document, Jordan would not have suffered such a loss."
"Jordan will be removed from the map directly. The same goes for Yingnan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the entire conference room instantly cooled down. Facing Zhou Li's cold eyes, Von Kurtz leaned back involuntarily. As a rising aristocrat, even though he was the Grand Duke of Yingnan, he had never seen such eyes that were forged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which made him feel a little scared.
"You are joking. Yingnan's long history will not be ruined because of Xiao Xiao's actions, and the same is true for Jordan."
After all, he is a first-generation duke. Funkzi quickly regained his composure and calmly said to Zhou Li: "Your appointment itself is unreasonable and legal. We have no intention of pursuing this issue. I hope you..."
"Lifa?"
Zhou Li raised his eyebrows and smiled inexplicably, which made Feng Kezi feel uneasy.
"I don't want to talk about etiquette with you now, nor do I want to play word games with you. I just lost two friends and I'm not in a good mood, so I don't want to waste words with you."
Without any tact or pulling, Zhou Li took off the Brave Exclusive from his waist and threw it on the table. He looked at von Kurtz and said coldly:
"I only give you one choice now, which is to just tuck your tail in and go back to where you came from. All the bullshit you want to say can be stuffed back into your head, it's useless."
"Mr. Zhou Li, there is no need for you to speak so harshly."
There was no anger or rebuke. Von Kerz just maintained a calm posture and said to Zhou Li in an unhurried manner: "You have to understand the truth that cooperation with the British and Southern governments will bring you a lot of benefits. At the same time, what you have said before We can forget everything we have done.”
"So be it."
Zhou Li suddenly lost his tense look just now. He shrugged his shoulders, with a mocking look on his face: "You can hold me accountable for everything I did before, I don't care."
"But before that, I want to investigate your crimes Yingnan."
"Yingnan's crime?"
Von Kurtz was confused. He frowned and asked in confusion: "What does this war have to do with Yingnan? I don't understand."
"Didn't your master tell you Gerost's story when he loosened your rope?"
Zhou Li raised the corner of his mouth and smiled sarcastically: "Weird Disaster, you have every chance to completely kill the Gospel and prevent the disaster in Jordan in advance. You compromise with monsters and backstab your own heroes for your own interests. Are you Yingnan a little bit like this?" Don’t you even want to lose face?”
"We, the British and Southern government, did not know what you said. These were private decisions made by Jordanian government officials. When we learned the news, we immediately chose to stop it, but it was too late. I am sorry for this."
Familiar diplomatic rhetoric came out of von Kertz's mouth. He looked at Zhou Li and said calmly: "We will also make corresponding compensation for your friend. Don't worry, this will satisfy all of us. of."
"Is it?"
Zhou Li raised his eyebrows. He suddenly smiled, and a look of understanding appeared on his face, which made von Kertz feel a little panicked for no reason.
"Document No. 2131, Safe No. 3, Count Minros."
A seemingly unrelated and very strange words suddenly came out of Zhou Li's mouth. However, just such an incoherent sentence made Von Kurtz's face suddenly turn pale.
"Document No. 1009, Document No. 1876, Sealed Document No. 14, Communication Document No. 33, Streaming Document No. 2221."
After a long list of numbers was revealed, Zhou Li looked at Fon Kertz, who looked in disbelief and turned pale, and smiled, "Now, I have evidence."
Of course Von Kurtz knew what those documents Zhou Li was talking about. After compromising with the Gospels, anyone related to the backstabbing of Gerost was forced to sign an information blockade treaty. These treaties are kept separately in various regions. Taking out a single copy has no effect or legal effect. However, once all the documents are put together, then the past that can be called shameful and greedy will be made public. And the evidence is conclusive.
But how did he know where those things were stored? !
There was already a turmoil in Von Kertz's heart. Everyone knew the importance of these documents, so these documents were kept separately without informing each other. That is to say, every document is hidden by someone else, and no one will be informed of the location and time of hiding. Even von Kurtz does not know the exact location of those documents.
"Very confused, right?"
Zhou Li threw a thick stack of copied documents in front of the ashen-faced von Kurtz, his eyes full of ridicule, "Only the noble himself knows the hiding place of each document, and at the same time, it is not allowed to be disclosed to any outsiders. Reveal information about the document. You thought this would prevent everyone who typed this document, but you never thought of a problem."
"Dead people don't keep secrets."
The words that were almost cruel rang in Von Kurtz's ears. It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured on him, and he was shrouded in chill from head to toe. He raised his head and looked into Zhou Li's calm yet crazy eyes, feeling a piercing fear in his heart.
At this time, von Kurtz broke away from the "noble conversation" he was familiar with. He realized that the man in front of him had turned Yingnan's old enemy Magnum upside down. Even the man who had caused countless blows to Yingnan Gnan III was forced to bow to him.
Why should I threaten him? Will he be buried with half his body or his brain will be underdeveloped?
"I regret to inform you that after the war broke out on Mink Street, these officials and nobles took the same batch of magic cars to escape Jordan, triggering the trap set by the Gospels, and then all of them were killed and no one survived. "
In the photos on the table, the wreckage of several magic vehicles stung Von Kurtz's eyes. He was not stupid. He knew that those nobles and officials were not stupid either. They could not abandon the city and flee at such a critical moment. That would be tantamount to seeking death. Therefore, these dead nobles and officials definitely did not escape "voluntarily".
Von Kurtz naturally understood how fierce and painful the war was through intelligence. It was hard for him to imagine that Zhou Li was still calculating the future and calculating the documents in the hands of bureaucrats during that suffocating war. Such meticulous thinking Von Kurtz felt powerless. He knew that he had now fallen into the most unbearable situation.
"You're committing murder."
Von Kurtz's lips trembled and his eyes were full of panic, but he still forced himself to calm down and reprimanded sternly: "Your behavior is extremely inhumane. No one is a fool, and no one is an idiot. Your behavior is obvious to any discerning person as murder, you!”
"Where's the evidence?"
Zhou Li interrupted von Kertz's questioning and repeated von Kertz's previous words, "Since you accuse me of killing those noble officials, where is your evidence?"
"Now that I have evidence and you don't, you still dare to question me? Who gave you the courage?"
"You're fighting Yingnan!"
After snapping the case, von Kurtz shouted angrily: "I represent the country of Yingnan, please pay attention to your tone."
"I fucking stand for Twelve Hours."
In a word, killed the game.
Zhou Li stared at Von Kurtz coldly. He picked up the Brave Exclusive and hit Von Kurtz in the face with a single-arm swing that was caught off guard. Von Kurtz staggered. He was just about to accuse Zhou. Away from this shameless behavior, out of the corner of his eye he saw the four characters "Exclusively for the Brave".
Suddenly, he stopped talking.
"The dirty things you Yingnan did are, at a small scale, backstabbing a hero, and at a big scale, assisting the resurrection of an ancient god."
Looking at Fon Kerz with a gloomy expression in front of him, Zhou Li asked with a sneer: "Guess, based on Twelve Hours' attitude towards the ancient gods, will they treat you Yingnan because of this matter?" Implement sanctions?”
"Guess again, when I sanction you at twelve o'clock, can I ask Magnum to follow suit? Guess, it won't cost any money."
Von Kurtz felt deeply powerless. Zhou Li's words directly strangled his lifeline, or in other words, Yingnan's lifeline. As he said, compromising on the Gospels is, at best, assisting the resurrection of the ancient gods. Even if Yingnan did not know that the ancient gods were hidden in the gospels at the beginning, anything about the ancient gods was sensitive to Twelve Hours. , once the matter is revealed, Twelve Minutes will not leave any face to Yingnan.
According to the intelligence, Zhou Li has a lot of say in Magnum. The most important thing is that Magnum is a country that combines religion and politics. Although Magnum still maintains its control over Yingnan under the mediation of the Twelve Hours, However, if the troops take the lead in punishing Yingnan at the 12th hour, Magnum will naturally be happy to kick the nose and directly block Yingnan's airport transportation.
Economics, politics, religion. These bombs that Yingnan had planted for himself were now all pulled out by Zhou Li, and he started to mock them in front of Yingnan.
"What do you want?"
For a long time, after a long sigh of helplessness, von Kurtz compromised.
"Give Jordan to twelve quarters."
Zhou Li's proposal stunned Von Kerz for a moment, and then he reacted immediately and said it was impossible, "Absolutely not. Jordan is an important territory of our country and it is absolutely impossible to cede it."
"In the next twenty years, the post-war reconstruction of Jordan will be carried out by the Twelve Quarters. During this period, the Twelve Quarters will take over Jordan's political, military, and legislative powers, but nominally Jordan still belongs to the British South."
Looking at von Kertz's expression gradually changing, Zhou Li continued: "Twenty years later, Jordan will be returned to Yingnan at twelve o'clock. During this period, you will not have to pay any reconstruction costs. Moreover, the documents in my hand will be destroyed."
Hearing the last sentence, von Kurtz was moved. Now almost everyone in the world who knows about the existence of the document has died, leaving only a handful of insiders alive. Once these documents are destroyed, this matter will be completely buried, and no one will be able to know Yingnan's greed after that disaster.
Zhou Li also changed a little from his aggressive attitude at the beginning. When he stated the conditions for rebuilding twenty years from the twelve moments, Zhou Li's tone softened significantly, which made the nervous von Kerzillo With relaxation, he felt that this condition was not so difficult to accept.
"I would like to ask, since it takes twelve seconds to take over Jordan, which moment is specifically responsible for it?"
Faced with von Kurtz's obviously relaxed tone, Zhou Li smiled with satisfaction and then gave the answer.
"The sixth moment."
"Church of Literature."
