Collapse Iron: My Past Life Revealed, I Was Everyone's White Moonlight
Chapter 278 The Cruelty of Politics
[It was incredibly difficult! From an empire on the verge of collapse to defeating the creation of "reproduction," it's simply a miracle!]
Dr. Sam is awesome! Firefly Mechs are awesome! Grammer Riders are awesome!
[Waaaaah, my firefly, she survived! She truly saw the dawn of victory!]
This time it's not a knife, it's candy, it's so sweet!
[According to the classic storyline, after the war ends, the next step is marriage, right?]
That's right, Sam and Firefly must get married!
Yes! Maybe we can even have the Queen officiate the wedding!
The audience outside the canopy erupted in thunderous cheers, and the screen was filled with words like "victory" and "peace".
And in the sky screen.
As news of the war's end spread throughout the Grammer Empire, the entire empire was also immersed in a celebration of victory.
The war is over.
This catastrophe, which swept through countless galaxies, has finally come to an end.
The Grammer Empire has won this seemingly impossible war!
Countless people in Grammer took to the streets to embrace and weep, celebrating wildly.
However, just as the audience was enjoying themselves...
The backdrop suddenly shifted, and the scene transitioned to a parliamentary hall.
The atmosphere in the hall was very oppressive, a stark contrast to the earlier revelry of the crowd.
A dozen or so gray-haired councilors sat around a round table, their faces grim.
A portly senator slammed his fist on the table and said, "The war is over, the Zerg swarm is gone, but what about those iron cavalry?"
"They have the Firefly Mechs, which are the Empire's most powerful weapons."
"And most importantly... in short, if they rebel, who can stop them?"
Another thin senator chimed in: "That's right, and that Sam too... He's got too much influence in both the military and the civilian world right now."
The elder, who was seated at the head of the table, tapped the table to quiet everyone down.
The Grand Elder glanced at the assembled councilors and said calmly, "When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; this is an age-old truth."
"Now that there are no external enemies, we must find a way to regain control of the Firefly Mechs in order to prevent unrest."
"Or... destroy those iron cavalry."
One of the councilors was taken aback: "How can we destroy them? They're heroes of the empire now."
The elder sneered, "Heroes? Those only exist during times of war."
"Now that the war is over, these expendable resources, which were created for the war, naturally have no reason to exist."
"After all, I've heard that while the people of the Grammer Empire are celebrating their victory in the war, they are also terrified by the sight of more and more iron cavalry taking to the skies, blotting out the sun..."
The portly councilor standing nearby scoffed, "That's right, and they're just consumables anyway."
"Why not just make up some excuse, like they were infected by the Zerg, or that the Firefly mechs have a fatal flaw?"
"Once you strip them of their mechs, they're just a bunch of sickly wretches waiting to die."
Some lawmakers still hesitated: "But they did defeat the swarm, what if they rebel..."
The Grand Elder smiled upon hearing this: "What's there to be afraid of? We still have Her Majesty the Empress."
"As long as the Empress is alive, the Iron Cavalry will never be able to resist us."
The Grand Elder then raised his wine glass on the table: "Everything is for Grammer."
The congressmen exchanged a glance, smiled, and then nodded and raised their glasses.
"Everything is for Grammer."
Beyond the sky.
The audience, who were initially happy that Grammer had won the war, were furious and started cursing when they saw this.
[Damn it! These old bastards! They're kicking me when I'm done with them!]
The Grammer cavalry risked their lives to save the Empire, and now they want to discard them after they've served their purpose!
This is disgusting! Is this the true face of politicians?!
I thought people like Titan were just isolated cases in the Empire, but it turns out the entire council is like that.
[Dr. Sam, run! Run with Firefly! Forget about this damned empire!]
Where is the Queen? Isn't she going to do anything about it?
Don't worry, the Queen will definitely take care of it!
[Speaking of which, what Sam said to the Queen earlier, could it be that this senator will cause trouble after the war?]
"Hey, you know what, if the Empress knew that the entire council would unite to pressure her to take action against the Iron Cavalry after the war, she might actually be very angry."
[Who wouldn't be angry in this situation? They've worked tirelessly, leading their iron cavalry against the Zerg swarm for the sake of the empire, only to have someone try to betray their greatest contributor after the victory?]
[Ha, these old men even said things like "They have an empress, so their iron cavalry won't resist." Does the empress even belong to them? How can they say that like that?]
Just watch, the Queen already had a warning from Sam; these old men will definitely end up shooting themselves in the foot.
at the same time.
Luofu, Changletian.
Seeing this, March 7th was so angry she stomped her feet: "These people have gone too far!"
Xing was also somewhat indignant: "That's right, that's right, the Iron Cavalry were the biggest contributors to this war."
"The war has only just ended, and they're already trying to betray us?"
Fu Xuan, standing to the side, curled his lip: "In times of crisis, they wish they had as much iron cavalry as possible, but once the crisis is over, they start to fear that the iron cavalry's power will threaten their rule... They're just a bunch of people rotten to the core."
Walter sighed. "There's nothing we can do; that's the cruelty of politics."
"When external pressures disappear, internal power struggles will naturally surface."
"But as the leader of the Iron Cavalry, the Empress will not sit idly by and wait to die."
"but……"
Walter gazed thoughtfully at the sky.
Although the logic makes sense.
but……
Was what Sam told the Queen earlier really about this?
If not.
What could possibly have caused the Empress of the Empire to lose control of her emotions like this?
And there's the promise Sam made to the Queen, that wish...
"Uncle Yang, what's on your mind now?"
The curious voice of March 7th pulled Walter back from his thoughts.
Walter shook his head: "No, it's nothing."
Whatever it is.
Walter looked back at the sky.
Now that the war is over.
The truth... will probably come to light soon.
The sky began to rotate.
The scene then switches from the previous conference hall.
Finally, the image was captured at the palace in Grammer.
Inside the spacious hall.
Empress Titania sat alone on her throne, quietly looking at the battle report in her hands.
Strangely, there was no joy of victory on her face; she seemed to be thinking and waiting for something.
Just then, a member of the royal guard, clad in silver armor and covered in dust, entered the hall.
It was none other than the captain of the Royal Guard, Isolde.
She strode to the throne, knelt on one knee, and held up a report sealed with the highest level of secrecy.
"Your Majesty, besides the clues Dr. Sam mentioned..."
"The other matters you had your subordinates investigate during this time have also... yielded results."
Titania looked at the report in Isolde's hand and remained silent for a moment.
At last.
She still chose to slowly reach out and take the report.
