Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 700 Persuading Perfect

Faced with Perfectoct's teasing or sarcasm, neither the Duke of Gloucester nor Prime Minister Wellington knew what to say.

After all, what Perfectok said was true. They really wanted it all, and they also expected Perfectok to not want power but work diligently.

If Perfect hadn't said it, they might have thought it was nothing, but when Perfect said it, it suddenly revealed the fig leaf that the two had been trying to maintain, making everything awkward.

"Earl Brandiles, if you have any requests, please tell us. We will do our best to meet them as long as we can." The Duke of Gloucester made a promise.

Prime Minister Wellington, on the other hand, expressed the full support of the cabinet.

Facing the attitudes of the two, Perfect just smiled playfully, and then said: "I don't want power, nor do I want anything else. I just want to live my happy life peacefully without anyone bothering me.

As for your demands and the administrative pressure faced by the cabinet? Sorry, I have resigned from all my positions and these matters have nothing to do with me. "

"My Lord, there is no point in saying such things. Please be sincere. Can't we all be frank with each other?" Prime Minister Wellington tried to persuade Perfecto to change his mind.

Although he was elected as a representative of the Northern Faction, after becoming Prime Minister, Wellington began to develop a desire for power. Moreover, a Prime Minister could no longer be the small figure he was before, and a faction with him as the core was taking shape.

It's just that the time is still short and his foundation is not deep, which makes him seem to have no influence.

But to underestimate the prime minister would be to ignore the influence of the position.

"Be honest? Okay, then I'll give you two choices. Either shut up those idiots and legally protect my power from being influenced by anyone, or get out of my house and solve all problems yourself." Perfectcott was very blunt and looked like he would not compromise.

Faced with the two options proposed by Perfecto, Prime Minister Wellington and the Duke of Gloucester looked at each other. They knew clearly that they could not choose either of the two options.

Choosing to endorse the power that Perfectok requested would mean acknowledging that Perfectok would become the actual controller of the Victoria Empire and pave the way for her dictatorial rule.

Although they wanted to invite Perfectok back to continue managing affairs, this did not mean that they wanted Perfectok to be a dictator.

These are two completely different concepts. For the former, they can still restrain it through various political means, which has been demonstrated in the past. When others abide by the rules, Perfect is still willing to abide by the rules.

But as for the latter...it would be better to let Perfecto be prime minister and recognize her hereditary rule over the empire!
Although legally speaking, Perfecto does have the right to inherit the throne, and even if she becomes the emperor of the empire it will only lead to its glory, but things don't work that way.

Princess Anne, the legitimate heir to the royal family, is still here! Supporting Perfecto's dictatorship is no different from usurping the throne.

So the Duke of Gloucester opened his mouth and tried, "Earl Brandiles, if you want the reformists to shut up, it's a simple matter. The National Assembly can pass a resolution declaring the reformists illegal. But you want power without interference, which is really beyond the scope of what we can agree to.

I believe you also understand that the empire will not accept the emergence of a dictator. No matter how talented you are, no matter how glorious you can lead the empire to, the people will not be willing to accept a dictator. "

“No, no, no, Duke of Gloucester, you are wrong. The people do not mind whether they are ruled by the emperor, the prime minister, or someone with any other title.” Perfect raised a finger and shook it, then sneered, “Democracy is not what the people really want. What they want is a sense of security! Not to be treated like cattle or horses by the rulers or livestock to be disposed of at will, but to live uprightly like a human being.

In the past, nobles had the power to rule and could dispose of the people in their territories at will. Ordinary civilians and slaves were just lambs to be slaughtered when facing nobles, just a group of breathing property.

In this situation, once they are exposed to the so-called ideas of freedom and democracy, they will naturally think that they should overthrow the rulers.

Because only in this way can they live like human beings and have the sense of security they want.

When a dictator comes to power, they worry that they will once again be treated like livestock and property, and that is why they oppose the dictator.

What the people want is actually very simple. A ruler who can manage and restrain the entire society and provide protection for the people is a good ruler. If he is also willing to show more goodwill to the people and give them more benefits, then the people will follow him without hesitation. "

"But you can't expect everyone to follow you voluntarily now, right?" The Duke of Gloucester tried to save the situation.

But Perfect obviously would not give him such an opportunity. She just put down the teacup in her hand and said indifferently: "I don't actually need your consent. If I want, I can get everything I want by force alone."

Perfect said simply, and the teacup in front of her transformed into a steam knight wearing golden armor and holding a sword.

Seeing this steam knight, the Duke of Gloucester and Prime Minister Wellington couldn't help but feel nervous. It was obvious that they understood Perfectocute's subtext, but they didn't have many effective countermeasures against it.

It might be unrealistic for Perfectot's army to conquer the entire country, but if they just launched a lightning attack on Beloberg and wiped out the imperial ruling group in one fell swoop, it would not be difficult for Perfectot and her Steam Knights to take the position of dictator.

Therefore, the Duke of Gloucester and Prime Minister Wellington agreed only to make the matter look better.

"My Lord, are you determined to become a dictator?" Prime Minister Wellington asked Perfecto with a serious face. At the same time, he was nervously thinking about what he should do if this was true.

"No, no, no. It was you who asked me to take care of you, so that you can eat and sleep in a carefree environment, instead of like now, not only do you have to do 30% more work every day, but also be laughed at by all kinds of people." Perfect responded to Wellington's question with disdain, making him successfully cover his face and become autistic.
