Chapter 396 Conservatives and reformers are only separated by a wall

"When we had an encounter with the opponent in the capital of Kemanga, the Platina Knight of the Royal Knights once shot Hegazi in the left eye with a sniper rifle from hundreds of meters away." Wolfe added .

"The bow and arrow have a range of 300 meters." Duke Feng Junshan reminded.

"But the speed of the gun is faster. The opponent has almost no reaction time, and it is completely impossible to dodge when locked."

"Weapon Research Institute has conducted experiments, and the latest individual gun barrels can increase the attack power of long-range systems by at least two times." Edmund continued, "In addition, substantial progress has been made in the research and development of large weapons, which can be used for defense of the city."

"The strategy of Xinghai is very deep. Even if Sifli and Hardy join forces, it will not be easy to capture the entire territory of Xinghai in a short time. What's more, we still have the shield of Alfons. So the situation is not that bad, everyone Let's make two preparations first. By the way, Edmund, has Murphy figured out what Hardy brought back from Sejawi?" the Queen asked.

"I've made it clear, it's amber." Edmund replied, "Hadi brought back three pieces of amber from Sejawi."

"Amber? Crystal Book?"

"No, not a crystal book, but amber. Amber with mosquitoes in it."

"Amber with mosquitoes?" The ministers exchanged puzzled looks.

What would Hardy want with that thing?Could it be that besides his book addiction, he also has a collection addiction?

"Why did Hardy send people all the way to Sejawi to look for amber? Did Murphy say what Hardy wanted amber for?" the queen continued to ask.

"She said that the reason why Hardy went to find these pieces of amber was because someone left hints in his memory, so he followed the hints to find these things."

"Hardy's memory has also been artificially implanted with a memory?" The queen raised her head in surprise.

"Yes. This memory seems to be different from the one implanted by Squad Leader Cang. Obviously, the Gaohuan people were divided into several groups according to the different places of refuge. The research direction and content of each group are different. , the memories left behind are also different.”

"What is the use of amber? What is it?"

"Hadi didn't remember this, but he once said to Murphy affirmatively: 'This is the most precious legacy left by ancient humans'."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The most precious legacy left by ancient humans?
What would it be?
Is it a weapon?

But what kind of weapon can amber with mosquitoes inside be?
Or is it not actually a mosquito, but some kind of biological weapon?

"Continue to let Murphy follow up on this matter, and make sure to find out what the amber is for!" the queen ordered.

"I know, I've asked her to look it up. But Hardy hasn't figured it out yet, so it may take a while." Edmund replied.

"It's really annoying. Sifley's side already has enough headaches, and Hardy's side has a new situation." Feng Bianqi complained.

"Now there are many troubles not only outside the country, but also inside the country." Duke Gray said.

"The chamber of commerce?" The queen guessed what Gray wanted to say at once.

"Yes, it seems that you already know. The businessmen have very big opinions now, because when we discussed cooperation with them before, we used overseas land as a transaction condition. But now the development of overseas land has been completely suspended, Lagrange It has also become an empty city. The businessmen think that their investment is in vain, so they complain to the Chamber of Commerce every day. We have tried to appease them as much as possible, but you know, businessmen are all profit-seeking. When there is no definite benefit In such a situation, words of consolation are hardly effective." Duke Grey spread his hands.

The queen glanced at Gray, and she knew that these words were actually Gray's own thoughts, but said through the mouth of the merchant.

Gray is her biggest sponsor and the landowner who owns the most overseas land. In return, she has given him the political status he deserves. However, Gray is not satisfied with this, and businessmen often have great appetites.

"If someone complains to you again, you might as well answer him like this: If we can't hold the Xinghai, then they will lose more than just the land outside the border. In terms of interests, we are the same." The Queen looked at Gray and said.

"You're right, and I'll tell them," said Gray politely.

After the meeting, the Queen left Edmund and Wolfe alone.

"I'm still thinking too naively." The queen collapsed on the sofa wearily. "I thought they had a long-term vision, or at least they were thinking from the standpoint of the country. But I didn't expect that everyone just thought about it. in their own interests.”

"It's not just them, there are also many harsh voices from the people now." Edmund replied, "Many people are discussing in private, saying that you took back the military power just to stabilize your position. Some people say that what you did after you came to power It’s all a waste of time and money.”

"Their attitudes have changed so quickly." The queen smiled wryly. "During the overseas wars, they were the ones who cheered and praised them, and now they are the ones who attack and question them."

"The attitude of the people is actually not important, because very few people are used to thinking with their own minds, and most people are still led by the nose." Edmund continued, "It is the attitude of the dukes that is worthy of vigilance, because Their attitude can influence the opinions of quite a few people, especially industry leaders like Gray."

"It seems that Downton really hit the mark." The queen sighed, "When the new class takes power, it will only want to protect its own interests. The so-called conservatives and reformers are actually only separated by a wall. no."

"But you don't have to worry, because their interests are still tied to ours at the moment. As long as everyone's interests are the same, there will be no differences. Their complaints now are just paving the way for future bargaining."

"Thank you, Karl." The queen gave Edmund a grateful look.

For the queen, perhaps the only hurricane in the entire galaxy is completely unrequited.

Other people's support more or less comes with some conditions.

Three days later, the queen held a commendation meeting for Wolff and the others.

All those who participated in the operation were awarded first-class merit, and the 11 surviving knights were awarded titles, and those who already had titles were promoted to a higher level.

Additionally, Felton was promoted to Sergeant Major of the Royal Order.

After hearing the news, Cang Ling finally understood why Gray was willing to let his only son risk his life to go to Sejawi. It turned out that he was accumulating capital for his political career.

A week later, a team of knights seconded from the Temple and Blue Shield went to Sejave on a warship. They will eliminate the remaining night demons in Sejave, burn all human farms, and completely take over the entire Kermanga kingdom. , to prevent Sifley or Hardy from reaping the benefits.

Sponsors of the mission will be paid Sehavi's mines and lands.
