Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 247
“Fiasco! Our proud navy was annihilated by the Lumen’s navy!”
Enkrans City, in the National House, the speaker with white curly hair said in a heavy tone, his eyes glanced at the members of the House of Representatives sitting below, among those people, a few months ago, more than half People support the war against the Rumont Republic, but after the war has gone to this point, those members have become silent quails, and they dare not make relatively radical remarks about the war.
“We can’t let the war go on any longer!” After the chief speaker’s voice fell, a young congressman stood up abruptly, raised his right arm, looked around at the congressmen around him, and said, “We have lost the war so far. More than 100,000 brave soldiers, and if the war continues, we will lose even more!”
“Speaker General, as well as gentlemen, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers in the stalemate with the Rumeng people on the front line. This number may sound like a lot, but most of them have only received short-term military training. The new recruits are the main ones, and let them fight the battle-hardened Lumeng people, shouldn’t they be sent to death?”
“Mr. Abner, you have to remember one thing, the initiative in the negotiation of the war is not in our hands, but in the hands of the Rumen people. The Rumen people have released harsh words unless we are completely conquered. , otherwise the war will never end!” A member of parliament also stood up and retorted.
“Even so, we have to respond,” Abner said. “Look at the streets outside. Citizens who have lost their loved ones began to gradually take to the streets and gathered. Those who lost their loved ones couldn’t help but feel in their hearts. The grief of the people of Lumeng can only be vented on our government!”
When the words fell, he looked at the surrounding councillors again, and finally set his eyes on the chief speaker, and said word by word: “If we don’t respond again, the grieving and angry citizens are likely to make moves to attack the parliament!”
Abner’s voice fell, and the councilors began to whisper. The mob storming the parliament was too scary, and it was hard not to shock the councilors, and this kind of thing was not without precedent. It has happened many times in history. This time, the mob rushed into the councillors, smashed, looted, burned, and even beat the councillors to death.
The Speaker-in-Chief, Creighton Heller, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn’t listen anymore. He asked aloud, “Mr. Abner, do you have any good proposals?”
“Of course, we can first come forward to appease the citizens gathered outside, and send envoys to make peace with the Lumeng people again. After the Lumeng people refuse, we can make a big propaganda in the country and transfer the hatred of the citizens to the Lumeng people. This can be solved. There is a conflict between the citizens and the government.” Abner said eloquently.
After hearing his words, the chief speaker and the other members nodded, thinking that this method was feasible. In the previous meeting, because the parliament was still concerned about the issue of face, not many civilians knew about the dispatch of envoys. After many people know, even if the peace talks fail, there is no way to blame the parliament.
However, the congressman who just stood up to retort spoke again, and he asked back: “Mr. Abner, you just shouted that the war cannot continue, what do you think?”
The congressman’s question also attracted the attention of others, and now others’ attention was once again on Abner, who wanted to get a satisfactory answer from him.
However, they were disappointed, only to see Abner shaking his head and saying: “Actually, I don’t have a good idea, or the only way I can think of, even if it is proposed, it is impossible to be adopted. .”
“Tell me about it.” The chief speaker raised his hand and said.
“That is to surrender to the Lumens.” Abner said, “Only by surrendering to the Rumens can this war that should never have happened can be completely ended. Not only that, we should also surrender the clamor of declaring war at the time. in exchange for the forgiveness of the Lumontese.”
There was another sentence that he didn’t say. If they didn’t hand over the parliamentarians who were in charge of the battle, the Lumen people would probably arrest all the parliamentarians and characterize them as war criminals.
He didn’t have a chance to say this, because after what he said in front of him, many members of the assembly suddenly started to make noise and demanded that Abner be kicked out. The words are undoubtedly ready to betray them, and they are naturally unbearable.
Not only those former members of the main war faction, but also the chief speaker’s expression was not very good-looking. He picked up a small hammer and pounded on the table, and the sharp sound quickly overwhelmed the noise of the members below, and after the voice below gradually subsided. , Speaker Crichton Heller looked blankly at Abner and said:
“Mr. Lamb Abner, the Republic will not surrender. Your idea has disappointed us and dissatisfied many MPs. In order for the next meeting to continue, I regret to ask you to leave the House first. .”
Abner didn’t show much change in his expression to Heller’s words. He nodded indifferently, gave a salute to the surrounding members, and walked out of the slowly opening parliamentary door under the **** of the parliamentary guards who had heard the news.
After walking out of the gate, the sun fell from the sky and sprinkled on Abner’s face, causing him to subconsciously raise his hand to block the sunlight falling in front of him. After a few seconds, he looked at the increasing number of citizens in the square in front of the parliament, the corners of his mouth raised. With a contemptuous smile, he strode down the stairs~www.mtlnovel.com~ Ten minutes later, Abner’s carriage appeared outside a corner cafe a few blocks away from Parliament Square. After the carriage stopped, the driver hurriedly He jumped out of the carriage, put the stepping chair on the ground, and then reached out to help Abner out of the carriage, but was rejected by the latter.
Abner stepped on the stepping chair put down by the driver, and his feet landed again. Then, he first sorted out his clothes, then looked around unconsciously, then pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked in.
“Sir, are you…”
When Abner walked into the coffee house, a young attendant greeted him. Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Abner, who said, “I’m a guest in Box 1. I’ll go.”
The attendant swallowed the interrupted words again, without showing any dissatisfaction on his face, and still led Abner upstairs diligently.
Before Abner went upstairs, he also casually observed the guests on the first floor of the coffee house. Those guests were all male. Although they were dressed in different clothes, Abner could still tell their true identities at a glance – soldiers .
