Vina also felt a little melancholy. Today's Victoria was so disgusting that even she, the crown princess, could not bear to look at her. Even though the comedy "Yes, Prime Minister" was frequently ridiculed by Victoria's civil servants and politicians, to be fair, Vina felt that the satire in this TV series was not bad at all.

"There is an old saying in Yan Country, 'Born in adversity, die in comfort.'" Kal'tsit also said:

"Victoria once had many wise kings who gradually turned Victoria into a powerful country that dominated this land. However, the extinction of the Drago royal family and the civil strife of the Aslan noble family caused this great country to fall into chaos in just twenty years."

"...I know, that's why I'm sitting here, watching this TV show that's making fun of Victoria."

Vina was also very clear about this. She had to admit that Chen Qi, who wrote the play "Yes, Prime Minister", had the strongest insight and political sensitivity she had ever seen. If she hadn't known that there had never been a Yan national in Victoria's civil service system, she might have really thought that this was a play written by a senior civil servant.

If it were a peaceful time, if Vina knew about a talent like Chen Qi, she would definitely appoint him as the imperial teacher - but now, Chen Qi used his talent to help Sa to commit atrocities, and even if he was really forced, Vina could not easily forgive him.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, when can we set off for Londinium?" When Vina thought about this, she couldn't wait to return to Londinium to beat up... no, to "rescue" Chen Qi and his crew.

"It will take at least a week to get there. We must first get close to Victoria's borders so that the land ship can reach Londinium and return." Kal'tsit also spoke up.

"I will lend you the elite team from Rhodes Island. They won't help you seize power at this time, but they will help you blow up the TV station in Londinium and help you transfer Chen Qi and his group."

"…Does that mean I have to watch the next two episodes of this TV series?"

However, at this moment, Vina was really eager to go home. She felt very anxious when she thought that if she went back a little late, "Yes, Prime Minister" would have to broadcast two more episodes in Victoria.

In just five episodes, Chen Qi has already satirized Victoria's national defense, infected people's problems, civil servant corruption, and the inaction of parliamentarians. If we keep waiting like this, who knows what other aspects of Victoria Chen Qi will bring out to satirize?

Just as Vina was worried, suddenly, Amiya's slightly excited voice came again:

"Everyone, look! Episode 6 is out!"

"...I really hope it only airs one episode a day, just like the TV series in Yan Country, where there is a half-hour advertisement after each episode."

When they heard about the new episode of "Yes, Prime Minister", Vina and Kal'tsit, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because the content of the fifth episode was relatively restrained, became subconsciously nervous again.

This was a rare complaint from Kal'tsit, but it was at Longmen, thousands of miles away, and a similar sentence was uttered from Wei Yanwu's mouth.

"Alas... This is probably one of the few times I wish there were more commercials. Every time I watch a movie shot by Chen Qi, I feel like my heart can't take it."

"...I think that his bold and outspoken character is what attracts Xiaota to follow him."

On the other hand, Chen had a different opinion from Wei Yanwu. However, in this respect, Chen was just a senior police superintendent of Longmen. What she did was to defend the law and punish. To a large extent, her upright character enabled her to be qualified for this position. Therefore, she knew nothing about politics.

Chen's simple and unsophisticated view of good and evil makes her feel that it is a very commendable thing to be able to boldly point out a country's shortcomings and internal pests on TV.

"No one has ever done this before. Aren't you proud of him?" Chen couldn't help but turn his head and ask Wei Yanwu. Because of Tallulah's return, the relationship between Chen and Wei Yanwu is not so stiff now.

"I hope my niece likes a living person, not a spirit that was killed and then carved into a sculpture." Wei Yanwu shook his head helplessly, exhaled sullenly and replied:

"Heroes only live in books and legends, but I don't want the person my niece likes to become such a symbol, and I don't want to suffer the pain of living alone in the future."

"This guy is now in Londinium, hanging out with a group of Sarkaz... Although he was definitely forced, such unscrupulous filming will only cause more trouble for him and his crew, not for the Sarkaz."

"——By the way, have you decided to go with those people from Rhodes Island?" Wei Yanwu suddenly remembered that some time ago, Kal'tsit specially sent someone to discuss the matter of Chen Qi with Wei Yanwu.

At that time, Wei Yanwu and Chen Cai learned that Chen Qi was in Londinium, and now Londinium was occupied by Tresis and his Sarkaz Legion. There was no doubt that Chen Qi and his group were definitely forced to be taken there to film such a TV series for the Sarkaz.

Wei Yanwu's statement made Rhodes Island determine its plan this time, which was not to "kidnap" Chen Qi, but to "rescue" Chen Qi.

It seemed like the results were the same, but in reality they were two completely different concepts. If it was a rescue, then Vina and her group would have to let Chen Qi cooperate with them to leave.

And if it was a kidnapping, then Vina wouldn't have to worry about anything. She would definitely hit Chen Qi on the head with a hammer, knock him unconscious and then take him away. By the way, she could also vent her anger.

"Of course, Xiaota and Chen Qi are all in Londinium, so of course I have to go and save them." Chen did not hesitate and answered immediately:

"Not only me, Lin Yuxia also said she wanted to go with me. We will rescue Chen Qi and Xiaota in Lentinim."

"...I really want to say that this is dangerous, but obviously I can't convince you."

Wei Yanwu smoked sullenly. He was of course aware of Chen Huijie's thoughts. After a moment of silence, he sighed slowly and said:

"Take care of yourself and cherish this hard-earned reunion. Do you understand?"

"...I know." Chen Huijie rarely disagreed with Wei Yanwu after hearing this, but nodded solemnly and replied:

"I finally reunited with Xiaota. I will try my best to come back alive...if it is really necessary."

"That's good." Wei Yanwu was relieved, but he also knew that Chen Huijie was a person who would fight for others with all her strength, and would even sacrifice herself for others. Her purity made her a senior superintendent of Longmen, but her purity was not suitable for survival on the battlefield...

"...Keep watching." Wei Yanwu didn't know what to do, so he could only enjoy the time before separation from his niece and continued to watch "Yes, Prime Minister".

Soon, with the start of the sixth episode, Lungmen, Rhodes Island, and all the people who were paying attention to "Yes, Prime Minister" immediately understood the theme of this episode and the next point of satire on Victoria from the opening words.

This time, after pointing out the object of satire, Vina, Kal'tsit and Wei Yanwu's expressions changed again, because the term that the show wanted to satirize this time was called "diplomacy."

Chapter 45: Famous scene: Punish the strong and help the weak, then why not attack Ursus?

Diplomacy. For a country, diplomacy has always been an extremely serious topic. For the countries in the Terra continent where the world structure has gradually taken shape and consolidated, diplomacy, to a large extent, is a method that represents a country's strength and attitude.

The diplomatic attitudes of the various countries in this land are also quite different. Here are a few typical examples - Yan's foreign policy is not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and to keep itself out of trouble. In addition, Yan's own military strength is extremely strong. Even though its territory is close to Ursus, there has been no conflict between the two sides.

In the era of the previous emperor, Ursus could be said to be extremely aggressive. Under the leadership of the previous emperor, Ursus embarked on the road to becoming an industrialized power. Its national strength developed rapidly, and while it continued to develop the value of large tracts of territory, it was also constantly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, military threats, and diplomatic conflicts.

Even more, they continued to extend olive branches to politicians and civil servants in other countries, trying to attract more talents to participate in the construction of the Ursus Empire. They even planted spies in various countries except Yan Country.

Victoria, as an old and powerful country of the same era as Ursus, is naturally the place that Ursus pays "special attention to".

In the era of "Yes, Prime Minister", due to the delicate balance of the situation, each country is very powerful and no one can afford the losses brought about by a full-scale war. Therefore, the "sausage tactic" in diplomacy is Ursus' usual tactic.

The story of the sixth episode of "Yes, Prime Minister" unfolds because of this. Hake, played by Tracy, insists on implementing his own national defense policy, stopping the production of Steam Knights and focusing on building the army. In order to implement this policy, he plans to start with Leitania and improve the diplomatic relations between the two countries. After the possible attack by Ursus in the future, the military strength of the two countries can check and balance the advancement of Ursus.

After all, compared to Casimir, Leitania's attitude is more resolute, and she can be regarded as a qualified ally.

As expected, Ursus soon took action against Victoria. With the participation of Ursus, Rembil and Gaul, Victoria's "Eureka Autonomous State" seemed to be plotting a coup. Tresis planned to stand with Letania on this issue.

But Victoria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs seemed to have different ideas. They did not want to fall out with powerful Ursus and planned to remain inactive on the issue of the Eureka Autonomous Region.

And Tracy also doesn't trust the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the reason is...

Tracy: "The people of Leitania think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is full of negative elements and traitors."

"No. Uh... not all." Bernard, played by Manfred, didn't say much about this, but his meaning was obviously self-evident.

But obviously, a country cannot have two foreign policies, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has its own ideas on this.

"If Victoria gets involved in the affairs of the Eureka Autonomous Region, the Columbia region just had a problem with the parts of the Steam Knights that we stopped. If we get involved in this incident, it will inevitably cause panic in the Northwest Region and prompt them to become independent."

"Besides, we have just signed a contract in the Yulika Autonomous Region to build a direct railway and a source stone transfer station. It is really not appropriate to cause a conflict at this time."

Of course, the bigger reason was that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not want to be at odds with the two powerful countries of Ursus and Gaul. Although Victoria's relations with the two countries were not very good, it was much more cost-effective for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to appease the relationship between the two countries than to please Leitania.

As for how to please Ursus and Gaul...the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has its own way.

In the past, there were some conflicts between Rem Billiton and Sami. Rem Billiton asked Victoria to sanction Sami. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Victoria believed that a place like Rem Billiton, which had a large amount of source stones and mineral resources, was much more valuable than a country like Sami, so it planned to support Rem Billiton.

However, Letania favors Sami and hopes that Victoria will not be involved in this incident, and the Prime Minister also thinks so. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs intends to make the Prime Minister succumb to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this issue.

"Just let him (the prime minister) know that when it comes to diplomatic matters, his job is limited to public relations, hospitality and hospitality."

"The person standing on the stage is an actor. He just needs to act steady, stay sober and recite his lines step by step." The Secretary of the Foreign Office said this to Humphrey, the Cabinet Secretary played by Lord Blood Demon, and his tone was full of contempt for the position of Prime Minister.

"Some people try to think of words on their own." The Blood Demon Lord also smiled slightly, and the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately chimed in:

“And then he stepped down immediately.”

The conversation between the two also caused everyone to laugh again. But in Rhodes Island, Vina couldn't help but look at this issue from the perspective of a king, and murmured:

"...Can Victoria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs even undermine the power of the Prime Minister?"

"Perhaps it is because the royal family has handed over too much power to these people that Victoria has now been completely divided up by several dukes."

"——Don't deny one thing completely because of this. The decline of Victoria is ultimately due to the lack of deterrence in the rule of the imperial power." Kal'tsit had her own opinion on this and said lightly:

"National policies should keep pace with the times. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Once the sword goes to extremes, it is easy to turn the originally stable system into a weapon of dictatorship. All systems have their own advantages and disadvantages, it just depends on the occasion they are used."

"At least, the decision made by the Victorian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this TV series cannot be considered wrong. This incident is obviously adapted from the 'Fence Incident'. The Eureka Autonomous Region was also handed over to Rem Billiton, wasn't it?"

"Yes... If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs follows through on its idea of ​​inaction, the 'fence incident' will definitely happen. So is the sixth episode of this TV series about this incident?"

Vina was very clear about the history of her country. She turned her eyes to the screen again. As for the development trend she knew, she wanted to see to what extent Chen Qi wanted to satirize Victoria's diplomacy.

It's nothing more than incompetence and inaction, right? There shouldn't be anything new to satirize, right? Vina thought so, and now, the Blood Demon Lord and Tracys were confronting each other on the screen.

The Blood Demon Lord supports the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and can even be said to have become a lobbyist for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He wants to change Tracy's mind and stop him from going against his own Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Surely we should promote peace, harmony and friendship?" Tracy asked in surprise. In his opinion, this matter seemed to be a question of right and wrong, not related to diplomacy.

"——That's strange." The Blood Demon Lord raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Whenever the foreign ministry personnel of multiple major countries gather together, it is recognized as a time to express international hatred."

"Humphrey, shouldn't Victoria support law and justice?" Tracys asked the Blood Demon Lord, trying to occupy the moral high ground.

However, this move of Tracys had no effect on a seasoned civil servant like Lord Blood Demon. He smiled and said, "Of course, Prime Minister - as long as it does not violate our foreign policy."

"We should help the weak and fight the strong!" Tracys said righteously, firm in his attitude. But the Blood Demon Lord smiled and asked again:

"Then send troops to the East Country to fight against the Ursus Legion?"

"——Ursus is too strong."

"Hahahahahaha!"

However, Tracys, who was still the messenger of justice the previous second, suddenly lost a lot of momentum when he heard about the head-on confrontation with Ursus the next second, which immediately caused Victoria, Rhodes Island and many other places to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Of course, there is also a well-known reason for this, that is, the Ursus expedition to the East actually ended in failure. This made it impossible for anyone to have imagined that the only setback for the Ursus Legion, which was once so powerful under the Ursus emperor, was actually caused by a small East Country.

You know, before this, the East Country was almost unknown in this land. Everyone thought that the Ursus Legion could conquer the East Country just like conquering other countries' lands. However, no one expected that the East Country, with the support of all parties, would actually severely hit the morale of the Ursus Legion.

Looking at this sentence again today, it is full of irony and even double entendre. It not only satirizes Victoria's superficial "justice", but also satirizes Ursus' superficial strength.

"Fortunately... this guy finally picked another country to ridicule."

The first time I heard Chen Qi's script in "Yes, Prime Minister", there was a satire on countries other than Victoria, which made Vina feel a little better.

Another person whose mood also improved because of this was a woman with long white hair and a pretty face with dragon horns who was currently in Victoria, in a medium-sized mobile city called "Hill County". Although she was beautiful, she gave people a sense of danger like a poisonous scorpion.

...Just like the eerie, yet extremely warm feeling that lingered around her. The "leader" of the famous "Deep Pond" organization in Xiaoqiu County.

However, some people in Xiaoqiu County knew about Deep Pool, but they didn't know who the real leader was. And now, the real leader, a Draco woman named "Abrana", was watching this scene on TV with great interest.

"No matter how many times I watch it, it's still surprising. Victoria can actually make so many taboo things public? These are things they never let other people touch, right? Not to mention broadcasting them on TV, right?"

"...No, it's better to say that this is not something Victoria would do. The other mobile cities of Victoria may not know about this. Nowadays, Londinium has long been occupied by the Sarkaz."

However, Abrana's eyes flickered slightly. As the leader of [Deep Pool], she has been actively planning to gain everything for her compatriots. And now, this "Yes, Prime Minister" spread from Victoria has entered her eyes.

"But... the Sarkaz of Londinium shouldn't have the time or energy to do this, right?"

"This is obviously not the work of the Sarkaz. Those war maniacs would never think of destroying Victoria from within."

Abrana thought about it for a long time, but now, looking at the actors on TV who were obviously not the real Aslan and Filin, she couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Interesting... Who on earth came up with these ideas... It really makes me curious."

"——We have sent Ahephne to Londinium to gather intelligence. I believe she will give us a satisfactory answer, sister."

However, not far behind Abrana, a woman who called her "sister" and looked almost 90% similar to her walked slowly towards them. The only difference between the two sisters was that the feeling around the younger sister was sometimes hot and sometimes cold, but it was always kept within a warm limit.

Hearing her sister's words, Abrana smiled faintly:

"Yes, Ravshini, I really look forward to her bringing back useful information. I am curious about what kind of talent the regent of Londinium has obtained."

“Although we don’t know who he is, his revelations to Victoria today…are the wisdom we need.”

Chapter 46: Vina: Stop scolding me, my Victoria underwear is about to show

On the screen, Humphrey, played by Lord Blood Demon, and the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were discussing matters concerning the Eureka Autonomous Region. Lord Blood Demon could not help but sigh as he poured wine:

“The Eureka Borough thing is really annoying.”

"That's right." The secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nodded approvingly, and while stubbing out his cigar, he replied, "It was a big mistake for us to allow them to become an autonomous region 20 years ago."

"It's the general trend, right? A torrent of change or something like that."

"Yes, but the method is wrong." The secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took the wine handed over by the Blood Demon Lord, and then said something that surprised everyone who watched this episode:

“That area should have been divided in the first place.”

The Blood Demon Lord immediately understood and said without hesitation: "Just like when we divided up Old Tara, Sargon, Rem Bito, and Columbia?"

"Yes, that is our consistent policy towards regions with independence tendencies, and it has never failed." The secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said this frankly, and the speed of his admission was so fast that people were a little overwhelmed.

As for diplomacy, the Blood Demon Lord, the cabinet secretary, was a little confused. He asked with some surprise, "But doesn't dividing a country always lead to civil war? Just like Sargon and Rembil, and Tara in the past."

"——Yes, but it also gives them something to do. Instead of fighting with other countries, they can fight with themselves."

"Yes, that's good. It saves us from having to make policies." The Blood Demon Lord also smiled slowly. The two powerful secretaries also raised their glasses, accompanied by a canned laugh, and revealed a piece of history that Victoria had never been willing to admit.

At the same time, whether it was Kal'tsit and Vina from Rhodes Island, or the leader of Deep Pool in Hill County, anyone who knew about this taboo was deeply touched by this line.
