"I... to be honest, I haven't thought about it yet..." Ramones here hesitated and said. Just when Linton thought that the recent series of events were like a set of combo punches, the kid had been stunned.
When he was done, the last words of the other party made him stunned for a moment, "That Sudar is also one of the best warriors among our orcs. He is indeed much stronger than me. He may be more suitable to be the emperor of the empire than me...
It’s just that he killed my people, and he and I are at odds with each other.”
Linton was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the child emperor probably had a slightly higher level of medical literacy because of what he had experienced recently. You can see that what he said was already quite good, but unfortunately he was still a little young.
, Linton can still easily read the other person's mind.
Yes, why do you mention the Sudar who initiated the coup, and also named the other party as stronger than yourself? Of course it is a good thing for the new emperor to be strong against the orcs, but they are human beings. Who wants to see a powerful neighbor next to them?
? Ramones obviously means to say that he is easier to control here. He seems to have understood his situation, and also knows that the human race will not be so kind to help him regain the throne. That is unrealistic.
, so let’s start directly with the pros and cons.
As for the later statement that he and Sudar were incompatible with each other, of course he was stating his position, and of course Linton believed it. On the one hand, Ramones here could not see that he was telling lies, and on the other hand,
On the other hand, at this age, family hatred is simpler and clearer than national justice and the like.
Frustration makes people grow. Looking at Ramones in front of him, Linton suddenly understood that this guy must have seriously thought about coming to the Human Imperial City, but it wasn't that he hadn't thought about it yet. About him
The most obvious point about his growth is that when you saw that he was weak before, the other party was so anxious that he could even start a war directly, but now he can regard this as a bargaining chip and frankly admit that he is weak.
To be honest, considering his age, Linton feels that the other party has done a pretty good job now. Unfortunately, the human race and the orc race are basically incompatible, and if it falls into his own hands, there is no use in playing this little trick.
"Okay, let's take this guest down to rest first." Linton waved his hand and said.
Of course, Ramones also understood the meaning, and left with the guards who led the way without any resistance. Linton obviously wanted to discuss what to do with the core ministers next to him. Of course, Ramones also wanted to hear it, but he
I also know that this is impossible to hear.
"Master Sword Master, this is a God-given opportunity." As soon as Ramones left, Prime Minister Tyrard said impatiently. Looking at the other party's face, he almost laughed out loud. Indeed, they did nothing. The enemy
The empire itself is in trouble, and that's really cool.
"Well, let's discuss what to do." Linton waved and said.
Several ministers couldn't wait to start discussing. The emperor of the other party came to their side and was simply at their mercy. Is there anything more satisfying than this? The current situation of the Madrama Empire feels like it is on the table.
The meat is left to them to deal with, and they just need to come up with a good way to cook it.
Linton did not participate in the discussion for the time being, and listened to the opinions of several ministers. At present, there are probably two opinions, one of which is what Linton thought before. Anyway, Ramones is the orthodox emperor. Although he has lost the support of the people,
His claim is still there. Using his name to directly help him rise to power and let the other party be a puppet, wouldn't it mean that he would directly control the Madrama Empire?
The ministers on the other side had a different opinion. They felt that the empire did not need to go to the end personally. Didn’t Ramones himself also say that he wanted revenge? The empire would provide some support and let him recruit troops and horses, and the current coup d’etat.
That one is going to grab the throne. The empire only needs to watch a little, balance the strength of both sides, and let them have a good time. In this way, the Madrama Empire will fall into endless internal friction and let them consume themselves.
go.
Obviously, the purpose of both methods is to drag the Madrama Empire into an endless abyss. Regardless of whether the Madrama Empire becomes a puppet state or falls into endless internal strife, it is a situation that is very beneficial to the empire. But the reason
Two opinions emerged, and the main disagreement was over investment and harvest.
Obviously, the investment in the establishment of a puppet state will be greater. The empire will also personally help send troops. Once the army moves, it will be money. After the puppet state was established, the orcs experienced this catastrophe and wanted to take it back.
I had to give them a little development before. But if you really control the other country, the benefits will obviously be more.
The other faction is not optimistic about the income from the orcs at all, saying that the place is really very poor. You can't get much money if you establish a puppet state. It's better to let them fight for themselves. Here they only need
Just invest some money and resources and give Ramones a little start-up capital. The investment is not much, and the benefits are certainly not much.
"Okay, stop." After listening to the opinions of both sides for a while, Linton said. The ministers on both sides who were arguing just now also immediately quieted down. They were just giving opinions, and now it is Linton, the decision-maker, who makes the decision.
It's time.
To be honest, the ministers are still somewhat accustomed to the current rhythm. The atmosphere when Linton was the decision-maker was completely different from when Yalan was the leader. Yalan's temperament was much weaker. I asked the ministers for their opinions.
Very carefully. You may say that the emperor is Qingming, but the ministers always feel that something is missing.
In fact, after seeing Linton, they also figured it out. This kind of flavor is willfulness. Yalan really lacks this sense of willfulness that I can do whatever I say. From the perspective of the country, of course they know that Linton will be the emperor.
Even better. Just from their own point of view, of course it would be better for them to have an emperor with a better temperament.
"I'm still leaning towards...what's your name?" Linton pointed at the minister next to him and asked.
"Master Sword Master, Minister of Foreign Affairs Hedru." The minister here immediately stepped forward and said. Of course, it was not just once or twice that Linton couldn't call out the minister's name. The ministers were all used to it.
"Oh, that's your opinion." Linton nodded, "It does sound more troublesome to help that boy restore his country, and it requires a lot of investment. It's reasonable for you to worry about the poverty there and nothing to gain. But I think, money.
Things will come out if you press more. The harvest from the orcs is not high, maybe because they don't know how to develop it? For example, there are many mines in their south, but they haven't developed much themselves, right?"
"Indeed." Prime Minister Tyrard here said. Although he had previously advocated letting them fight internally, he immediately changed the direction and began to support Linton. "There are indeed many undeveloped areas in the southern part of the Madrama Empire.
The minerals there are originally iron-producing places, but they don’t have the funds and manpower to develop them themselves. If they can fall into our hands, the benefits will be much greater."
"Besides, if the empire doesn't suffer any consequences, it just pays some money to watch them fight internally. It sounds good." Linton continued, "But is this really a good thing? Have you heard the motto of our Meloway family?
?If there are no external troubles, there must be internal troubles. As time goes by without anything to do, people will be idle and mess with their own people."
Linton paused for a moment before continuing, "The most important thing is that the promotion system in the empire has problems. For most people who want to climb up, martial arts is the most important part. Peace cannot last.
It’s too long, otherwise people’s ambition to climb up will be unstoppable. The war on the orc side has been going on for several months now, will it affect the development of the empire?”
"The impact is not big." Tyrad here said immediately, "The empire only dispatched one legion, and the military supplies can fully keep up."
"So I think this kind of consumption can be maintained for a period of time." Linton said, "First help the child restore the country, and then clear out a large number of rebels. The war can last for a period of time, and then a large number of people will be needed to develop it.
The resources over there may keep them busy for a while."
"Your Majesty is wise." Terrad here raised his hands and said. Of course, the names were all wrong, but I don't know why no one in the room corrected him.
"Does anyone have any other opinions?" Linton asked here, but although it sounded like an inquiry, there was no inquiring tone at all. This obviously does not mean that you have other opinions and I will convince you.
My chance is that if you have a problem, I can solve it.
"I will obey your Majesty's will." All the ministers said at the same time.
"Oh, then let's implement this plan." Linton said, "Isn't Esdeath over there a person who likes war and won't be able to come back? Leave the little emperor to her and let her play."
"Yes." Everyone bowed and said directly.
The tone was quickly set, and the rest of the matter was left to the ministers. Yes, Linton actually focused on resources, and it was indeed good to let the orcs fight internally, but they had no one to fight all the time.
Go mining, and I still need mines here. As for the reasons, they sound very reasonable. In fact, if Linton supports the other proposal, he can also give a lot of reasons that sound very reasonable.
So the point is not what he thinks makes sense, but what he wants.
This thing is all on the table, you can do whatever you want. Regarding this matter, Linton has to say that the person who is a little bit curious is the guy over there who looks like a human spy. I always feel that the other party is going to do something.
The matter is not finished yet, I guess the other party will have to do something else, but we will talk about it then. -
