Chapter 984 The Strong Don't Need Exercise
Lisette blushed, turned around, poked her finger against the palace wall, and softly asked the maid who ran over: "Carmelite, is my wedding gown ready?"
"It's ready, Mrs. Lisa. Your custom-made lengthened and reinforced wedding gown has been rushed out and has been delivered to your dormitory."
"Really? Then I'll try it now!" Lisa Te rushed out at a very fast speed.
The maid glanced at the wall, there were dozens of small holes poked by her fingers.Carmelite couldn't help swallowing her saliva. These palace walls were built by the craftsman 'Coudin' who was forced to be captured by the ancestors of the demon race. Every one meter, the demon will be arranged to stab the wall with all his strength for inspection. If it penetrates half an inch, the craftsman and his family will be killed.
These palace walls have never been damaged in 2000 years, even scratches are not visible, but today, there are so many 'scars', this is because of her young lady unconsciously, if she hits with all her strength. . . .
The capital of the United Principality of Gilrivoss - Barron City, located in the 'Brassman' palace of the national executive head at 100 Shire Street, Prime Minister Edith Pepen is reading the Moon Weekly.A piece of news on the third page caught his attention. After reading it carefully, he pressed the big red button on the table.
After a while, a honest middle-aged blond man walked in. He was the assistant to the Prime Minister's Office - Cypher Kanses.
"Prime Minister, what do you need?" He said politely.
"Cypher, go, call Abijail, hurry up." Edith ordered.
"Yes, Prime Minister." Cypher took the order to leave.
Not long after, a short-to-medium-sized man with white curly hair came in. This sixty-year-old man, who was one year younger than the prime minister, said gracefully, "Are you looking for me? Your Excellency the prime minister."
"Sit down and talk, Abijar." The Prime Minister motioned for the other party to sit at his table.
"Your will, Your Excellency." Abigail Black sat at the Prime Minister's table, "Are you here to discuss with me for the afternoon meeting?"
"No, it's not about the meeting." Edit picked up the newspaper, pointed to the third page and said, "Abijar, have you read this week's Moon Weekly?"
"No, you know, I only read the Banker's Letter."
"Okay, take a look at this." The prime minister handed the newspaper to the head of the Cabinet General Affairs Department in front of him.
After watching for a while, Abijar understood what the other party meant.
"Prime Minister, did you invite me here this time because the Kingdom of Grande defeated the Demon Lord? Oh, this is indeed worthy of celebration. Humans have defeated evil again." After finishing speaking, he returned the newspaper with a smile to the Prime Minister.
"Abijar, what is going on? Two months ago, their ambassador asked us for help, but for two full months, I have not received any countermeasures. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always said that they are studying and discussing. In addition Nothing more, I didn't know until today that the war is over!" Edith was a little excited, and held up the newspaper: "Through the Moon Weekly!"
"Uh, yes, your Excellency the Prime Minister, we did receive their request for help two months ago, but everything was unclear at that time, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' policy of action is: all actions must wait for them to find out. Do it again."
"Well, it is indeed a mature move, but what happened afterwards? Why is there no news at all?"
"Later, of course, the Junqing Ten Office was arranged to investigate, but the number of the demon kings exceeded our expectations. They captured the cities of Duoport and Simika. My lord lost the best landing port. At the same time, unlike usual, they did not dispatch the fleet, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs means that the other party may be planning some kind of conspiracy, in order to prevent my lord's fleet from being in danger, we can only wait and see for the time being, and then mobilize the fleet when everything is clear."
"Well, it sounds quite reasonable. After all, we are an island country. Neither Mr. Lu nor Mr. Hai can do without the fleet. But the cabinet has not received a notice to dispatch troops for two whole months, and I have not received any information on the battle situation. That's a bit unreasonable, Abijar!"
"Your Excellency, you must know that everything in the world does not develop according to the wishes of us mortals. Most of the time, we are just slaves played by fate. Take this matter as an example. After we found out that the other party did not use the fleet After the situation, an unfortunate news came, Fukouguan fell, Tieweijun was wiped out, and the brave team was all sacrificed. At this time, we have nothing we can do."
"So, you guys just kept this matter secret until now? I didn't even know about such an important situation! Does the cabinet know nothing about it?" Edith's voice became louder.
"No, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been dealing with this matter, and you see, the matter was finally resolved perfectly, and we didn't even need to dispatch a single soldier, which proves that our strategy is perfect and effective." Abijar laughed.
"No, no, how can this be the credit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? We didn't contribute at all~!" Albert said seriously: "I don't care what the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs think, we are allies with the Kingdom of Grande and have offensive and defensive The alliance, at such a critical moment, our principality actually stood by? From the request for help to the end of the war, there was no action for two full months. If this matter spread, the reputation of the country would be seriously damaged, and the people's evaluation of us would also seriously decline. !"
"It doesn't matter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a document stating that in order to support the Kingdom of Grande and jointly fight against the Demon King, we have signed a cheap food contract worth [-] quintals."
"But, Abijar, the war is over, the Demon King has retreated."
"It's a retreat, but they're sure to come again, aren't they?"
Edith was quite dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing he could do about it. Finally, this time the kingdom was passed without any irreversible disasters. This contract can also be regarded as a kind of compensation for the principality.
After thinking about it, the Prime Minister found another suspicious point: "Abijar, the autumn harvest has not yet arrived. Where do we get so much food? I remember that there was a famine in South Ilson Island, right?"
"Just a small crop failure, mainly due to the bad weather this year, which has had very little impact. You can rest assured, Your Excellency."
"So, where does the food come from?" Edith asked.
"Nan Ilson, Your Excellency." "What!!!"
"Please listen to my explanation, Your Excellency." Abijar stopped the Prime Minister's next question and said with a smile: "As I said just now, there is no famine in South Ilson Island, and even if the supply in a few villages is insufficient For example, this is not a big deal, and the local government can easily arrange it properly. Therefore, transferring some food will have no impact on the entire island or even the entire principality."
"The cheap food of [-] quintals is not a small amount! Abijar, I heard that food looting riots happened there!" Edith said in surprise.
"Uh, sir, where did you hear that? There was a riot there?" "Moon Weekly."
"You can't listen to the nonsense made up by those newspaper editors... Uh," Abijar, remembering that the other party was an editor, quickly changed his words, "Your Excellency, you have also been a newspaper editor, and you should know that some newspaper reporters just like it. Exaggerating, describing a rainstorm as a flash flood, and describing a farm fire as a wildfire that cannot be extinguished. Therefore, any relevant information on the local level, you should go through us, these honest and reliable cabinet ministers."
Edith said helplessly: "But you never take the initiative to tell me the situation, you only tell me what I can't believe."
"As to the matter, I am sure that it will be brought up in the afternoon meeting, and you will learn the true and exact circumstances."
"Well, I hope so."
"Hello, Dear Abigail Black, Chief of the General Affairs Department of the Principality's Cabinet, you are a rare visitor. I don't know what advice you can give me this time." Effie Nettle, Director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , looking in surprise at the head of the cabinet who hurried over.
"Iffy, I won't say too many polite words." Abijar sat on the chair in the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.He sighed heavily: "We're in trouble!"
"What's the trouble? Is it about the prime minister? He doesn't listen to you anymore?" Iffy asked with doubts.
"It is indeed the trouble caused by the prime minister, but it is not because he does not listen to me. In fact, I managed to stabilize him just now and did not let the situation continue to expand."
"Isn't that all right? Is there anything else?"
"Of course! And it's the situation brought by your Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the past two months, your performance has been really bad." Abijar stared angrily.
"What happened, please? What happened in the past two months?"
"Grand Kingdom, Iffy! You have concealed the truth, but you haven't finished it. Even if you handed in a report yesterday, please explain the matter clearly. He won't attack me today!"
"How did this happen, who told him!?" "Moon Weekly."
"God of Light!" Yi Fei covered his face, and then he asked again: "Chief Director, you can't blame us for this matter. You know the actual situation in the country very well. In this matter, we really There’s nothing we can do! What’s the use of reporting such an embarrassing matter to him? We can’t change the result!”
"Iffy, Iffy, do you think the prime minister would care about the process and the outcome of this matter?" Abijar said angrily: "What the prime minister cares about is that your Ministry of Foreign Affairs ignores the cabinet, especially the Kill him! His authority has been challenged, even if you did not actually do so. After all, this is a major event between countries, which fully reflects his status as the supreme leader of the principality, and you, the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have no choice but to avoid it. Unknowable future risks completely exclude him, this is the big mistake you made."
"Well, my department and I will reflect on this. So, can you tell me how you managed to hold him? I'm afraid he'll ask about it this afternoon."
"That's why I, a busy man, came here to meet you."
