Chapter 370 I am all for the country of ice and snow
"Your Majesty, I have already guessed what Princess El sent about me. Ever since the volunteer group from the Jade Kingdom arrived and was attacked by the Birds of Paradise, haven't we been guessing that someone in the Land of Ice and Snow is colluding with the Birds of Paradise?
?
That’s right, the person who cooperates with Birds of Paradise is me!”
Stephen did not hide anything, let alone quibble at all, but admitted it openly, which caught Kane off guard. At this moment, Kane was more willing to see Stephen quibble, cover up, or even explain.
Even if it is a little more reasonable, he can leave Stephen with dignity. Stephen is already eighty years old, what can he do no matter how ambitious he is at this age? Remove his rights, let him live out his old age and be able to live in peace.
How many years to live?
However, Stephen actually admitted this, making Kane unable to let him go even if he wanted to.
Kaiser's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the sky, and the fingers of his hand holding the edge of the window turned white.
"Tell me, why?"
"My original intention was for the land of ice and snow. About three years ago, a man named Sang Guo found me. His identity was special and he asked me to keep his identity secret. If he saw me, let the second person know.
, he disappeared immediately.
Three years ago, my son Capa died in the war. He was my last son, ten years younger than Cather. Capa’s death made me very heartbroken, but compared to the demise of the land of ice and snow, Capa’s death
It's no longer important.
I, Stephen, have lived to be eighty years old, and I have watched helplessly as we have worked hard all our lives and the originally prosperous and happy country of ice and snow is disappearing day by day. I cannot accept it and cannot bear it.
I have been on missions to various countries and have solicited assistance more than 20 times in the past ten years. Each time I was full of hope, but in the end I was disappointed and even despaired again and again.
In the last five years, no country is willing to assist us. Some countries even require us to pay real money in exchange for the food they provide us.
At that time, let alone a terrorist organization, even if it is an evil ghost in hell, I can regard it as God as long as it can save the country of ice and snow."
"Did the Bird of Paradise save the land of ice and snow? Uncle Stephen, you have been smart all your life, how could you be stupid at this time? Can you believe the words of the terrorists?"
"Kane, do you still remember the story of the Devil's Law? Compared with making a wish to the gods, making a deal with the devil is more real. At least, the gods can grant your wishes, or you can pretend that you have not heard them.
Because you don't need to pay, God does not guarantee that you will get something. The devil is different, you need to pay enough chips to get the corresponding reward. As long as the chips are enough, the devil is more reliable than the God.
You ask me how I can believe the promise of the Bird of Paradise, but my Majesty, without the promise of the Bird of Paradise, the country of ice and snow would have perished three years ago. Do you know?
You don’t know that you are the king, and you are responsible for giving hope to your people. You pray to the gods, hoping that the gods can save your people. It is as if the gods heard your prayers.
Although life has been very difficult in the past three years, at least we have survived. But my Majesty, haven't you ever thought about it. According to past practice, there will be at least two or three beast tides every year. Why hasn't it happened in the past three years?
In the past three years, alien beasts have appeared from time to time, but they have never invaded our Kezhemi area? Is it the alien beasts that have learned kindness, and is it our brave warriors who have protected our people?
No, it was the Bird of Paradise that secretly eliminated the potential threat.
Why did I agree to cooperate with Birds of Paradise? Because at that time, Birds of Paradise were the only force in the world that controlled the poisons of these five alien space stars. If it were you at that time, would you agree? "
"I..." Kane was speechless, with heavy heartache on his face, "Why didn't you tell me the truth back then?"
"Tell you? How should I tell you? You are the king, you are the king of the country of ice and snow. I told you, you cooperated with the bird of paradise? Then the country of ice and snow became a vassal of the bird of paradise? What is the nature of the bird of paradise? If I told you back then
Without you, the country of ice and snow will truly be beyond redemption. By then, it will not be alien beasts that will destroy us, but missiles.
My king, for the future of the country of ice and snow, you must be bright, you must be pure and flawless, and you must be ignorant and kept in the dark by me, an old minister who harbors evil intentions. One day, the country of ice and snow and
The cooperation of Birds of Paradise was revealed, and it was me, the veteran, who was greedy for profit and betrayed the country. Kill me and save the people, and the veteran will deserve to die."
"Uncle Stephen... you!" Kane was shocked. He never expected that this was the reason why Stephen and Bird of Paradise cooperated. But in an instant, Kane forced himself to calm down.
"Then why did you smuggle the space stone?"
"Money! Of course it's for money! The country of ice and snow is at the end of its rope, and those countries are still adding insult to injury. Can your people be saved by just relying on the free food provided by the jade country?
In order to prevent our people from starving to death, I can only earn money to buy food supplies by smuggling space stones. The money exchanged is divided 50-50 between me and the Bird of Paradise. I have recorded the detailed bills. You can go
Searching under the bed in my bedroom.”
"Why didn't Jade stop when it developed the Xingwu toxin vaccine?"
"The business we have worked with for so many years is not something I can stop if I want."
"What's going on with Organization T?"
"They are not T at all, but Birds of Paradise. Members of Birds of Paradise's peripheral organization are all wanted criminals in various countries. They disguise themselves as T and secretly engage in underground circulation of space stone smuggling."
"So, you clearly know that the Jade Kingdom is here to save us, and their aid this time is with the purpose of completely closing the five alien spaces. Why do you still cooperate with the Birds of Paradise to launch an attack on the Jade Kingdom's assistance team?"
When Kane asked this question, his voice had turned to ice. If there was a legitimate reason for what he did before, then the twelve missiles that attacked the volunteer regiment were an unforgivable sin.
For doing all this, all the reasons he said before were just cover-ups and shameful deceptions.
"I didn't cooperate!" Stephen took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "Birds of Paradise came to me and asked me to provide the flight route and departure time of the Jade Country Volunteer Group, but the route I gave was false and the time was false.
Two hours off."
"But those twelve missiles were just lying in wait on their path."
"I don't know. Maybe they got accurate information from other channels. As for the Bird of Paradise using a space stone trap in Space 2, I didn't know about it in advance. In fact... after the volunteer group from the Jade Kingdom arrived,
, I have almost cut off contact with Birds of Paradise.”
"So seizing the nuclear bomb is not the information you provided?"
"No! Because of my cooperation with Bird of Paradise, Bird of Paradise has gained a foothold in our country. They have their own intelligence system, and even some people in our government departments have been bribed by them. Bird of Paradise can already do many things without me.
.”
"Is this all you have to explain?"
"That's all..."
"Since you no longer plan to cooperate with Birds of Paradise, why don't you confess to me and are you willing to tell everything only at this time?"
"Who knows whether Jade Country's aid will end in a hurry? As long as all five dimensions are not closed, I can't rest assured. As long as all five dimensions are closed, I can immediately die to apologize.
Now there are only two different dimensions left, and I thought I could hold on for a while longer. But I didn’t expect..."
"Uncle Stephen..." At this time, Prince Kaiser turned around silently, "Are you behind the false accusation that Wang Lan has something to do with terrorists?"
"yes!"
"Why? Don't you know how important Wang Lan is to us? Don't you know how much damage framed Wang Lan will cause to the country of ice and snow?"
"I know, that's why I dare! Because I know that no matter what I say or do, he will not be hurt even a hair.
The Minister of Finance came to me a week ago and told me that the country has no money. His Majesty the King plans to sell the energy mines in the Coteville area and obtain a loan from Citibank.
This is the last lifeline of the country of ice and snow. If it is gone, what hope does the country have? I asked him to hold on, and I will figure out a way to deal with the money. Because of this, I am eager to sell the twelve tons of space stones in stock.
.
I just didn't expect that the Duanmu family member has turned into an agent of the Jade Kingdom, and he has quietly investigated me. Everything I have done can be confessed to Your Majesty, but it must not fall into the hands of the Jade Kingdom.
I have no choice but to kill the other party and provide evidence that he is a Bird of Paradise terrorist. As for framing Wang Lan, it is also a temporary uprising on my part. The purpose is to allow us to get some bargaining chips and gain some initiative in the negotiations with the Jade Kingdom.
Give some benefit.
There is no sincere friendship between countries, only eternal interests. The Jade Kingdom is just the most polite among those greedy sharks, but it does not mean that they do not want to eat us."
"Then what? Your plan was shattered, and Jade State got the handle. We fell into complete passivity!"
"Passive? All this has been in my plan for a long time. My dear Your Majesty, I have already taken poison on the way here, and the wax pill wrapped outside is almost digested at this time.
As long as I die, Your Majesty can put all the blame on me. The country of ice and snow will still be the country of pure white snow and ice. It was me...who colluded with the Bird of Paradise...it was me...in order to steal the ice and snow for the Bird of Paradise.
In this country...everything...is my...fault..."
As the last word dissipated, the silver-haired Stephen's pale face was covered with sweat. The dripping sweat was accompanied by the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
In the end, the old man who had dedicated his whole life to the land of ice and snow slowly fell.
That night, Wang Lan had a good sleep.
He is not worried at all that the Kingdom of Ice and Snow will cover up and hide anything. The evidence of Stephen's actions is in his hands, and all the cover-up in the face of the evidence cannot stop the anger of the Jade Kingdom.
Early the next morning, the bright sunshine shone on the earth, and when Wang Lan had just finished washing and had not had time to go to the cafeteria to eat, a senior informed Wang Lan to go to the conference room of the headquarters.
Wang Lan quickly changed the route and happened to meet Yu Ruoyun halfway.
"morning!"
"It seems that the country of ice and snow has achieved results." Yu Ruoyun's expression was not as relaxed as Wang Lan's, and she said in a low voice.
