Chapter 485: Public Trial of King Tutka

Admiral Auchinleck of the United Kingdom arrived in Barras on September 9.

At this time, Wang Zhong had moved his headquarters into the city of Baras, but he did not live in the palace of King Baras, but occupied a manor of a noble.

The palace was naturally left to the progressive Barras forces of the Free Officers League.

When Admiral Auchinleck arrived at the expeditionary headquarters, he was obviously very angry. He scanned the headquarters as soon as he entered the door. When he saw Wang Zhong, he immediately locked his target, then strode over and shouted as he walked: "This is different from what we agreed!"

Wang Zhong couldn't understand what he was shouting because of the strong United Kingdom accent, but Emilia diligently served as a simultaneous interpreter.

Yakov was originally planning to translate, but when he saw Emilia translate in a pleasant voice, he touched his cheek and chose to shut up.

Wang Zhong handed the signed document to Yakov, then leaned back in the leather swivel chair seized from the nobles and looked at Admiral Auchinleck: "My friend, what's the difference?"

Emilia continued translating.

Admiral Auchinleck roared after hearing this: "We are negotiating to make our brother the new king, not to establish a republic!"

Wang Zhong: "You want your younger brother to be the new king? The leader of the Free Officers' League, Meyer Abdullah, also agrees with this. Barras now needs a king to unify the conservatives. After the war is won and the situation stabilizes, we can gradually carry out economic reforms, win over the conservatives, and finally achieve..."

Admiral Auchinleck interrupted Wang Zhong and said, "Isn't this what you secularists did in Ant? Is it really necessary to replicate it like this?"

Wang Zhong: "It is necessary. We hope that Barras will no longer be your colony. We hope that the people of Barras can also enjoy the convenience brought by industrial society and live a good life, instead of producing industrial raw materials for your United Kingdom and being harvested by you with a scissors gap."

Admiral Auchinleck stared at Wang Zhong for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, “Is it really okay for you to say this in front of your allies?”

"Why can't you tell me? Can you still form an alliance with Proson?" Wang Zhong spread his hands, "No, no, Proson is the main challenger now. You can only endure it until you defeat it."

Admiral Auchinleck: "Don't forget, you have been begging us to open a second battlefield! To mobilize the Proson army and reduce the pressure on your front!"

Wang Zhong: "Yes, but you didn't open up a second battlefield? You were even defeated by the Prosen in Mamluk. If the Prosen hadn't run out of supplies, the canal would have belonged to them.

"I might as well tell you that if you don't open up a second front next year and recapture Carolingia, the Ant army might fight all the way to Antwerp."

In fact, it was impossible to do so, because Ant's logistical capabilities were too poor, and on Earth, the army of another Marshal Luo was exhausted in the final stages of Operation Bagration, so there was no way to support the rebels.

After that, it took the Russians on Earth four months to gradually recover and launch another attack.

Logistics is Proson’s limiter, as well as Ante’s.

But no matter what the truth is, it does not affect Wang Zhong's bragging to intimidate the generals of the United Kingdom.

Admiral Auchinleck snorted, "I heard that Rokossov of Ante was a famous general, but I didn't expect him to be just a boaster! Take a look at the situation map of your country first, and see how much land has been occupied!"

Wang Zhong: "I have seen it, it is indeed very large, but we will recover most of it by the beginning of next year."

Auchinleck snorted again and changed the subject: "You said that the Free Officers of Barras agreed to nominate the emperor's brother as king. Where are they?"

Wang Zhong: "Inside the palace, they are trying the sinful nobles and - and His Majesty the King."

As soon as he finished speaking, the liaison officer of the Free Carolingian Air Force laughed and said, "We are familiar with this matter. How about we go and give some senior advice to the progressive young people in Barras?"

Admiral Auchinleck narrowed his eyes at the Carolingians and snorted with disdain. It seemed that this world would never allow the Carolingians and the United Kingdom to put aside their prejudices against each other.

Wang Zhong: “Anyway, if you want us to hand it over to King Tutka, that’s not possible, we have already issued a notice that the king will be hanged tonight.

"But we agreed that after the king is hanged, the spotlight will be given to the royal brother. I think he'd better be prepared to give a speech immediately after the king is hanged.

“As long as we can say that former King Tutka is the root of all problems, I think the people of Baras will support the new king.”

Admiral Auchinleck stared at Wang Zhong for a long time before saying, "It doesn't look like there's any trick going on."

Wang Zhong just smiled slightly, thinking that there was no trick there, this was clearly an open conspiracy, and he just had to proceed step by step.

Because it was an open conspiracy, Admiral Auchinleck had no other options but to ask, "You mean I have to go negotiate with the Barras?"

Wang Zhong: "That's right. I hope you can lower yourself and have a good exchange with them. Their leader, Mayer Abdullah, is a reasonable and wise man."

"Is he your lackey?" Admiral Auchinleck asked.

Wang Zhong: "Absolutely not, they support us voluntarily."

Admiral Auchinleck looked at Wang Zhong suspiciously.

Wang Zhongxin had a bad idea. On Earth, Daiying and Amei couldn't understand why people always surrendered, so they made up a brainwashing story.

When Wang Zhong was a child, he thought brainwashing was cool. At that time, there was the game "Red Alert". Wang Zhong liked to use the Yuri camp the most. This faction was characterized by brainwashing.

Later, when Wang Zhong grew up, he discovered that real brainwashing did not require any strange scientific equipment. Instead, it was called "144-hour visa-free", which was simple but effective.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhong looked at Admiral Auchinleck with pity.

Admiral Auchinleck left, cursing. Wang Zhong turned to Popov and said, "He must think we brainwashed those Barras youths."

Popov shook his head: "They will never understand what happened to these young people. If one day they understand, the same thing will happen to him."

Emilia stood by with a serious expression, not saying a word.

----

When King Tutka saw the gallows, he immediately burst into tears, lost all his strength, and was about to kneel on the ground.

When the people in the square of the royal city saw him, they immediately became agitated and threw whatever they could get their hands on at this tyrant who didn't care about the lives of his people.

Wang Zhong originally thought he would see some common props like rotten eggs, but he found out that the people of the Royal City of Balas couldn't afford eggs, so what they threw at him was cow dung and maybe even human feces.

Wang Zhong could smell the smell even when he was standing on the viewing platform.

Meyer Abdullah walked up to the execution platform and gave a speech to everyone: "Fellow citizens of Baras! Next, I will list the misdeeds of the former king of Tutka!"

Wang Zhong listened silently to Meier's words, each of which aroused his anger.

Admiral Auchinleck suddenly said, "After you have finished reading this, will the people still need a new king?"

Wang Zhong: "People won't change that quickly. In Ant, we distributed doctor sausages, cheese, caviar and champagne for more than ten years before we won over all the people. Before that, the old farmers in the countryside regarded the Tsar as their 'little daddy'."

Admiral Auchinleck made no reply.

The scroll in Mayer Abdullah's hand that recorded the king's sins was very thick. He unfolded the scroll while reading, and the part he had read was dragged directly to the ground, resulting in a long strip covered with fine handwriting.

Admiral Auchinleck looked at the scroll and cursed, "Does it say that the king took a shit without paper?"

Wang Zhong: "Don't you know? The Baras people, like the Bahara people, don't use paper to wipe their butts."

Admiral Auchinleck paused for a second and replied, "Brahmins and Kshatriyas are still used."

Actually use it?

No, is it really not necessary?

For a moment, Wang Zhong didn't know how to complain about Admiral Auchinleck.

About half an hour later, the long scroll was finally read to the end. Meyer Abdullah held one end of the scroll high up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the king's crimes have been read out! Does anyone want to question them?"

The Barras yelled, “No!”

Mehr Abdullah: "So, what is the verdict on the king?"

"guilty!"

All the Barras present shouted together: "Guilty!"

Admiral Auchinleck pursed his lips and said, "Damn it! After such a trial, no matter how convincing the royal brother's background is or how legitimate his legal system is, his authority will be greatly weakened."

Wang Zhong: "It's okay. As long as the conservatives still recognize this king, the people of Baras in the city... at least you don't have to worry about what they think until the war is over."

"Before the war ends..."

Admiral Auchinleck had a very unhappy expression. He should have thought that after the war, the old colonial imperialist United Kingdom would have a harder and harder time.

While Wang Zhong and Auchinleck were talking, Meyer Abdullah pronounced the verdict loudly: "King, you are guilty! Hang him immediately!"

King Tutka in the prison car cried like a pig being slaughtered.

At this time, a handsome and tall Baras man walked onto the prisoner car, looked at Tutka and said, "Brother, you look so ugly."

When Tutka saw the man, he seemed to have seen a savior and shouted, "Save me! Save me! My dear brother!"

The emperor's brother drew out his scimitar, and with a sharp blow, Tutka's head was cut off.

He raised his head high: "Baras will be reborn today!"

The Baras were still in a daze.

Wang Zhongze looked at Admiral Auchinleck and asked, "Is this your arrangement?"

Auchinleck smiled slightly, "Of course, don't underestimate the old empire, newcomer."

Wang Zhong narrowed his eyes. He had a lot to say, but the most urgent task now was to end the war and eliminate Proson.

So he chose silence.
