Turin love story

Chapter 40 40

The meeting was held at the Capitol.

The military committee rarely holds plenary meetings, and the annual regular meeting is only once a year, and the daily affairs are handled by the military itself.And the current situation of convening a meeting with a large number of people is still the time when the cabinet and the military discussed whether to launch a counterattack at the border a few years ago.

The meeting time is set for nine o'clock in the morning.

He Yuanzheng arrived at the Capitol at [-]:[-], and Gavin arrived just one step earlier than him.The eyes of the two collided in the air, the emperor didn't see any joy or anger, and stood there with his usual expression, showing no intention of going in with him at all.

The subtle aura between the emperor and the prime minister naturally affected the surroundings, but no one dared to say anything. They all pretended not to see it, and were busy with their own affairs.

Gavin cast a look with unclear meaning, and after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and left with his bodyguards. He didn't know if the recent incidents had exhausted him physically and mentally, and his back looked a little stooped.

And He Yuanzheng also walked in surrounded by the royal guards. He stood upright, from the gate to the meeting room, a short distance away, and he walked out of the overwhelming momentum.

He Yuanzheng and Gai Wen walked one after the other on the red carpet, forming an extremely sharp contrast.

One is an old and sick old man, and the other is a high-spirited young talent, as if an old era has not gone away, and a new era full of vitality has ushered in.

At the door of the conference room, He Yuanzheng saw the temporary security check as expected.

In fact, when entering the gate of the Capitol, a security check has been arranged, which is the normal configuration of every routine meeting.But this time there is an extra security check procedure, which must have been arranged by Gavin himself.

He Yuanzheng entered the arena without looking sideways, and suddenly felt a scorching gaze staring at him from behind, he turned his head abruptly, and as expected, Gavin hastily withdrew his peeping gaze.

He Yuanzheng smiled noncommittally, took off the heavy coat and handed it to Lynch.

Regardless of the turbulent tide, the meeting was held on time.

As the current chairman of the military committee, Gai Wen and He Yuanzheng sat together. After the two had a close contact, He Yuanzheng found that the other party seemed less nervous.

But his composure was of no avail.

After everyone was seated, He Yuanzheng opened the scene: "It's been a long time since we called everyone together for a meeting. Although everyone is busy, the current situation on the border is severe, the military budget is tight, and the opinions of the cabinet are also at odds with the original intentions of the marshals. , so it is necessary to hold this meeting. Well, I won’t talk about some scenes, General Lu, let’s start.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The assistant turned on the holographic projection on the conference table, and a detailed report was presented in front of the participants.

"Since 1740 in the solar calendar, there have been four attacks on the southeastern border, with 18 casualties. Our side has resolved them peacefully. The economic control initiated in the first year was lifted by the cabinet in the second year. At the end of the year, border villages were attacked again. Provocations by other countries, the cabinet still responds passively..."

"Negative response? It's nonsense!" I don't know if it was the recent events that made Gavin feel like a bird of fright. He angrily interrupted the admiral's statement and slapped the table, "The decision of the cabinet was made by the House of Lords. As a result, the economy on the southeastern border is already supported by trade, and blind control will only make the situation worse!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient, Prime Minister." He Yuanzheng said unhurriedly, putting his hand on Gavin's shoulder.

Gai Wen was emotional, and it seemed that his whole body was trembling slightly, but in fact it was the force under He Yuanzheng's palm that made him unable to break free. His body trembled uncontrollably under the struggle, and he was still forced back to his seat.

Gai Wen's eyes widened with anger, but he couldn't do it in public, so he could only endure it and said, "The report is seriously inaccurate."

He Yuanzheng signaled that the land will continue.

"In the North Sea border, Egypt's warships crossed the border of Turin, and the cabinet also did not take any tough measures."

Gavin said: "The land general means that Turin is going to declare war on Egypt? Turin has always used peaceful means to conduct diplomacy, and has not had any armed conflicts with other countries in the past hundred years. The efforts of the cabinet must be appreciated by everyone here. Everyone is not clear. But once war is declared, don’t you understand what will happen? No matter how strong Turin’s national power is, once the war starts, the economy may collapse within five years. There are countless such examples.”

General Lu looked at He Yuanzheng.

He Yuanzheng did not respond to the land general, but he was not in a hurry. He glanced at Gai Wen calmly and said, "Prime Minister, of course we all understand what you said."

Gai Wen forced He Yuanzheng to make a statement, and asked, "So what do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"What do I mean?"

Everyone stared at He Yuanzheng, and the meeting room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

He Yuanzheng was silent for a while, and replied: "I graduated from the Turin Military Academy and served in the peacekeeping force for a year. I know the ruthless cruelty of war. Every day, thousands of families are torn apart and tens of thousands of innocent people die. The people are displaced. The benefits it brings are insignificant compared to the losses. The economic situation in Turin is not optimistic, so I understand what the Prime Minister said very well, and I can also understand the position of the cabinet."

This was the first time that the emperor spoke for Gavin. If the generals hadn't looked at the emperor in surprise, Gavin would have suspected that he had heard it wrong.

But after a while, the emperor changed the subject with a smile that was not a smile, and said: "But Prime Minister, don't forget that since Turin was founded, no country has ever dared to challenge sovereignty. But in recent years, there have been troubles one after another. diplomatic events. Know why there is such a sharp contrast, Prime Minister?"

He Yuanzheng didn't expect Gai Wen to answer, so he answered, "Because I gave you the face. 700 years ago, the Luosai people went south to try to annex Turin, but Turin's soldiers drove them out of the northern border all the way to Sri Lanka in the west. 400 years ago, the Russian Orcs traveled across the ocean and united three countries to disintegrate Turin's regime, but they failed to instigate rebellion, and instead were trapped in the port by the Turin people. In October, the Russian Occult State was destroyed, ending their pace of world domination; and just 150 years ago, the Bor Empire launched economic sanctions on Turin, and Turin never took a step back, and finally dragged down the other side. Lin thus became the world's largest economy."

The emperor’s loud words made Gavin feel bad, but before he could find the right words to refute, He Yuanzheng continued: “Of course there will be sacrifices in the struggle, and there will definitely be a price. But have you ever thought about it, Prime Minister, Isn’t Turin’s peace for hundreds of years the result of these sacrifices? In just a few years, there have been four attacks on the southeastern border, with 18 casualties... A total of [-] Turin citizens died. Prime Minister, Don't tell me, you don't know who made these attacks. I can get accurate reports through the National Security Bureau, and the cabinet's news must not be so ill-informed."

Hearing this, the land general seemed relieved.

Li Chengying, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help thinking that no matter how powerful Xu Linfeng was, he still couldn't replace He Yuanzheng.In front of He Yuanzheng, Xu Linfeng is more like a good knife, and He Yuanzheng is the one who handles the knife.

He even had another weird idea, that is, He Yuanzheng is a born emperor, and he is the real leader. At the moment, the military power must be returned to him.

"Before these eighteen citizens were killed, didn't they think 'where is my country, why didn't she come to save me'? For them, what is the meaning of the country's existence? To help them survive! But what was the country doing at that time? Fearing the head and tail, throwing rats! Prime Minister, disappointment never happens overnight, it is a gradual process. The country is the people, and the reason why she can stand still is, It is because of the hearts of the people. When the citizens call on the country to help them again and again, but find that the country is shrinking and never responding, they will become more and more disappointed, and they will no longer love this land——

——If things go on like this, the country will not be the country. "
