Chapter 251 Unknown storm (4000)
Allen had mixed thoughts in his mind, but he didn't know where to start for a while.
After a while, Allen felt that he could not continue to think aimlessly like this, and he had to figure out a way of thinking.
Since this road cannot be done, let's change it.
Sometimes, thinking from the perspective of others is also a good way.
"The current known forces are our executive department, the dwarf mission, the mice in the dark, and the conservatives who perform backstabs."
"Since you don't know what the other person wants to do from the surface, then simulating the other person's thinking and deducing based on the other person's goals may lead to a brand new idea."
Allen sat there and muttered to himself, as if thinking, but was also telling Renard his thoughts, hoping to work together.
"First, we eliminate our Gria City Executive Department. Our goal is very simple, to maintain current stability and not make any mistakes before transferring diplomatic matters to the imperial capital."
"The dwarf delegation's attitude is unknown, but from the general trend, it should be for the diplomacy of the three countries."
"It's hard to say whether there are any tricks in secret, but from the moment, the other party has been abiding by the corresponding rules and order, so they can put it aside first."
Alan's speech speed was neither fast nor slow, his eyes seemed to close and closed, but his thoughts became clearer between talking to himself.
"Although those secret mice intervened in this matter, their purpose was not necessarily to undermine the diplomacy of the two countries."
"You must know that everything is false, and only interests are eternal existence."
"Most of those mice in secret walk into the shadows for the sake of interests. They don't care about the empire's admission, nor do they care about their reputation. They only care about one thing, that is interests."
"Then the question is, what are the benefits of their intervention in this matter?"
"You must know that the diplomacy of the three countries is an unstoppable trend in this world."
"Maybe there will be entanglements and disputes, but it will eventually lead to a balanced trend."
Allen saw this truth very clearly and understood it very clearly because he believed that this was the right path.
At this time, Renard, who was listening quietly on the side, nodded in agreement and continued to think along Allen's way of thinking.
"If they are afraid that the three countries' diplomacy will open the door to trade and disrupt their private smuggling business deployment, it won't make sense?"
"After all, this profit is completely unequal to the effort, and the risks are even shocking."
If the three parties did not reach an agreement, it would be a problem at the top of the country. However, if the deployment was disrupted by some ministers below, then the big figures who were originally sitting on the top of the cloud would not mind killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
You know, the shadow on the back of the empire is indeed not small, and it has even become a climatic during hundreds of years of wild growth.
But this is about the overall power of the shadow on the back of the empire. If those jackals, tigers and leopards can work together, they will indeed become the empire's confidants and give the empire a headache.
But judging from the current situation, those "hyenas" who came to Gria City are not considered fierce.
If the quality is not good, even the quantity is not much.
And it’s hard to say whether there is a group of people who can cooperate well.
If these people were really brave enough to intervene in this diplomatic incident that was destined to be recorded in history, then the empire and even the other two countries would not mind slapping them.
"Then the answer should have surfaced. These secret jackals should be just vanguards, and are bait thrown by some people."
"They got some benefits from other places and were willing to charge at the forefront to attract fire."
Hearing this, Renard also expressed his thoughts, "If this is the case, it seems that they didn't do anything that day, because they had never thought that they could not bear such a huge responsibility."
"That is, they will not target the dwarf missions, but will cause riots in the city of Gria, right?"
Although his tone seemed to be asking Allen back, Renard's tone was extremely certain.
"That's right." Sure enough, Allen nodded affirmatively.
"They won't get involved directly because it's enough to make everyone who bets lose everything."
"I don't know how much benefit and reward the masters of the imperial capital have given them, but I think it's a little short of life to buy so many extraordinary people."
On the way back to the city, Ms. Kelly fought directly with the silver mage who was hiding in the dark.
Although the fight was extremely short and the impact was not huge, they obtained a lot of information.
Ms. Kelly confirmed the identity of the attacking mage, and the others also saw the level of strength from the other party's formation.
It not only recognized that the Pale Parliament was involved among those people, but also confirmed that the other party's strength was not strong.
There is no way, compared with the executive branch of the Imperial Pillar, there are few forces that can be compared with it.
But no matter what, he is also a large number of extraordinary people. Regardless of character or strength, he can definitely be called an elite.
Moreover, these people are not the dead soldiers who have been brainwashed by the great nobles since childhood. If they want to die, the money they have paid for will be in trouble.
Although the great nobles basically have a long history and profound background, they can't help but be so prodigal.
This is also why Allen would come to this conclusion.
"And what we are most familiar with and hate the most, the purpose of those old guys in the imperial capital is also easy to guess."
"They hope to attack us with this widely involved diplomatic incident, and they also hope to involve others behind us."
“This is a very simple question.”
Allen's tone was leisurely, but there was no relaxation in his words.
"The only thing I worry about now is how much they will do for this purpose."
Renard sighed, "It shouldn't be too much, after all, their position determines that they can't really destroy the empire's plan."
"If the other party really dares to do this, then the pretender of the emperor will not stand by and watch."
Allen's eyes, which seemed to be closed, were completely closed, "I'd love if this was the case."
"But judging from the current situation, the other party has placed a heavy bet. Whether it is the ten dead soldiers or the jackals they hired, these will cost a huge price."
"You said, the other party has paid so much, are their ambitions so small?"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and Renard's brows suddenly tense.
This is a question that cannot be avoided.
After all, the other party has paid so much, so what is planned must be not that simple.
Allen was still thinking, not sure why he always felt that he had missed something.
He kept lifting his mind, moving away from the huge city of Gria, and extending in all directions.
[It is not an exaggeration to say that this incident is a century-long plan of the empire. It is a major event that is enough to lay the tone of the future society.]
[Will the emperor of the empire not react at all?]
[As the leader of the empire, as the iron-blooded emperor who has always been known for his toughness, would he tolerate the people below causing trouble to him at this time?]
Thinking of this, Allen shook his head silently, with a very low amplitude, but he could clearly sense it.
[Although technology has developed rapidly and society has also made progress, the ancient empire has also rejuvenated in such a wave and made many changes.]
[However, the empire is still an empire. In the bones, the foundation of the empire has never been shaken.]
[The rights of the nobles are being reduced and weakened. It seems that the title of aristocrat, which once made people excited, has lost its charm.]
[The legal provisions issued by the "Aristocracy Inheritance Act", "The Rights and Obligations of the Nobles in the New Era" and other aspects seem to have made the nobles lose their former power and power.]
[The low-level nobles below the earl now have fewer fiefs, and all of this seems to show the weakness of the noble's authority.]
[But this is just a manifestation. Those ancient nobles took the initiative to abandon some unnecessary rights in exchange for ship tickets for the new era and continued to play the protagonists on the stage of the booming development of steam technology.]
[They have never been away, but have changed a way to get themselves closer to this country.]
Alan's pupils suddenly opened, and a blazing fire shone in the brown pupils.
【And the royal family is the same.】
[This country is getting better, and the people of this country are living better than before.]
[But this is not because the things rooted in the empire's own blood are changing, but the development of steam technology has made productivity progress and benefited the people.]
[In the true sense, this country has never changed.]
[Imperial system, dictatorship, is the same as hundreds of years ago.]
Dada dada...
Alan's index finger tapped the simple and simple scabbard, making a crisp sound, like a clear spring falling on the rocks, like flowing water hitting a huge rock, crisp and pleasant, leisurely and peaceful.
[The royal family, the emperor, has never weakened its control over this country.]
[And now, Your Majesty is in his prime, even if the emperors of all generations die at the age of 100.]
[So, he could not let the conservatives take action unscrupulously and destroy this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.]
[In normal times, he can play with balance methods with patience, but at such critical moments, he will never be stingy with iron-blooded means.]
Thoughts passed by like lightning in Allen's mind, helping Allen keep approaching the final answer.
Although Allen was young and had little experience in this life, the history and politics he learned in his previous life were not in vain.
Even though he lacks understanding of His Majesty the Emperor, based on the current information, it is enough to build up Allen's general impression of him.
If you find some similar templates in the long river of history, you can roughly infer some of the other party's ideas.
[So, where is the power of the emperor who has not entered the market yet, and what are they waiting for?]
【And, this kind of thing is not difficult to guess.】
Allen does not underestimate himself, but he does not be arrogant.
Although he was extremely disdainful of the old school's corrupt style and seniority promotion system, he would not deny the outstanding vision of those old guys and his sensitivity to politics.
[Those people cannot see this. If that is the case, what is the purpose of them to risk angering the emperor?]
Allen frowned and thought carefully about every possible answer.
You know, the last time the conservatives took action to rob Isaac and the masked man had already made the emperor angry.
Although the emperor had no evidence to take action because they did it very cleanly and did not leave any obvious clues.
But that doesn't mean they are in good condition.
After all, impressions are much more important than other aspects.
Even though the emperor did not find an excuse to start at this time, the seeds of suspicion about the conservative school have been planted.
I believe that if the conservatives make any mistakes in the future, the emperor will hold on to it.
This long-term loss is much greater than the conservative school's temporary gains.
[Is there any huge benefit in this matter that can make them crazy, and even prefer to risk angering the emperor again in the short term?]
【If so, how much benefit is this?】
Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and his hair stood up, straight like a sharp sword, but his heart became even colder and colder.
...
In a secluded study room in Bet's mansion, three dwarves sat on the three sides of the desk, as if discussing something.
Mr. William, the elder dwarf, who was as elegant as a scholar, sat on the left side of the third prince Jed, and on the other side was an extremely strong dwarf.
The other party was tall and had a cold face like the hardest granite, and a handsome appearance, not as rough as ordinary dwarfs, with a bit of exquisiteness.
Mr. William looked at the cold man, "Colrow, did the man who broke into the courtyard last night confess his purpose?"
The man with a cold face was tall and straight, as sharp as a javelin, and his expression had not changed, but he had a sense of majesty.
"That person's mouth is very tight and he hasn't spoken yet."
The answer was not unexpected, William just sighed slightly.
After all, if the other party confesses so easily, they also need to consider the authenticity of the other party's words.
You know, it is not something that ordinary people can do to have such talents.
Since this is the case, the other party will naturally have methods to prevent leaks.
Not only targeting possible enemies, but more targeting one's own people.
In this case, even if the other party wants to confess, they must be fully prepared so as not to reveal their identity and really self-destruct.
"Uncle William, why didn't we tell the people of the Dawn Empire the news about that person just now?"
At this time, the third dwarf prince Jade asked in confusion.
"The attack last night came too strange, and we can't be sure what role the other party played in it."
"We have just arrived at the Dawn Empire, so it's better to be careful."
The dwarf elder William looked grim and answered Jade's doubts seriously.
"And, we cannot pin all our hopes on them, that will only make us weak."
Jade nodded thoughtfully and did not speak anymore.
Collo remained silent when he was not asked, calm like an ice sculpture.
William couldn't help but sigh as he saw the two of them performing.
Then, the three of them discussed in the study how the person handled last night and their next arrangements and deployments.
After everything was done, William sat in the empty study and sighed.
