The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 76 Public Opinion
York's language is very weak, coupled with his cowardly appearance, it is really not convincing.

However, York's words struck like thunder in the hearts of the top executives of Charleston's interim headquarters.

After all, people are afraid of death, especially when victory is nowhere in sight.

After the publicity of the city government, everyone in Charleston knew who was their enemy, but at the same time they all knew about Yuri's terrifying summoning ability.

Of course, this is not something that the municipal committee ordered to publicize, but what everyone has witnessed with their own eyes!
If it is said that when the ancient army came for the first time, everyone was still thinking that Yuri's summoning ability might have a limit on the number of times.

But after the second arrival of the Spartan Janissaries, everyone's luck was completely shattered. In such a short interval, a second wave of completely different ancient soldiers appeared, and it was very coincidental that they descended on the only soldier in the city of Charleston. There is still a port area with a complete organizational system and combat effectiveness. Any fool understands how terrifying Yuri's ability is!
"Perhaps we should think a little bit more about the women, children, and elderly people of Charleston.

In the face of life, other things can still be compromised. "

"We still have more than 1 bloody men with muskets. Will the people below be willing to surrender to that devil Yuri unconditionally?"

The hall fell into silence again. York looked left and right, and found that except for the two militiamen who guarded him, no one's eyes fell on him...

However, York did not feel annoyed by being underestimated. Instead, he let out a long sigh of relief.

It's good not to be noticed, not being noticed means that you will not be executed immediately...

"Or, let's tell the news to the soldiers below and let them make a decision. After all, Charleston belongs to everyone. If the soldiers are willing to continue to resist, we will fight Yuri.

If soldiers are willing to lay down their arms for their families and friends, we cannot go against the will of the people. "

The city government of Charleston has been in power for so many years, and it is the first time that it puts public opinion first, which can be said to have created an epoch-making milestone!
In the past, although the city government of Charleston occasionally brought up public opinion, it was just to find a theoretical basis.

Public opinion is useful if it is aimed at oneself, and it is directly ignored if it is not aimed at oneself. This is the basic quality and political wisdom of politicians in this era.

As for those kings and nobles who were born noble, they hardly considered the influence of public opinion.

Unless there is a revolution...

However, in this era, except for the British Isles, the European continent is very conservative. Even the Kingdom of France, which is the most open-minded, is also the stronghold of traditional Catholicism.

It is not a joke that bloodlines are above everything else. So many kings and dignitaries with below-average intelligence will be born in the European continent, which is the result of the theory of bloodlines.

After all, in order to maintain the purity of noble bloodlines, the European royal family has already married into relatives. In this era, there should not be too many genetic diseases caused by the marriage of close relatives...

Of course, the medicine of this era has not yet discovered the terrible consequences of inbreeding on offspring, so the European royal family and the powerful have no intention of giving up the theory of blood.

This is why many countries in Europe need cabinets formed by prime ministers to assist in governance.

Except for a few 'heroes' with normal intelligence, the remaining kings could not control their own country at all.

The British Empire is a very different kind of existence among European countries, because the British Empire is the only country in Europe that has truly realized the virtual constitutional monarchy.

The central government is not in the hands of the royal family, but in the hands of the parliament formed by the big nobles and big capitalists.

The cabinet is elected by the parliament and is naturally directly responsible to the parliament.

The king's rights were very limited.

Therefore, the British Empire in this era was hardly led astray by the king's personal emotions.

Which one can be selected as a cabinet minister is not a human being, and the probability of making mistakes is naturally much lower than that of a reincarnated king.

What's more, there is a parliament next to it to supervise, and if the cabinet does not do well, it will be impeached and resigned!

However, the royal family of that kingdom will not be abdicated by impeachment, but will only be forced to abdicate by revolutions and coups...

Precisely because the political system of the British Empire is the principle that the minority obeys the majority (determined by the powerful class), the concept of public opinion was first proposed by the British Empire, and it was widely used by politicians as a sufficient theoretical basis for attacking the enemy.

Therefore, these so-called 'executives' in the Charleston city government now take it for granted to push the decision to public opinion.

The reason is simple, they cannot afford the consequences of giving the order to surrender!
This means that they will bear the hatred of half of the people of Charleston!
Now in the city of Charleston, more than two-thirds of the citizens have a blood feud with Yuri. If they know that XX has issued an order to surrender unconditionally, what will happen?
The people of Charleston can't fight against Yuri, can't they kill a surrender?

And once the order to surrender is issued, it will become a political stain on this person's life. From now on, as long as he is still in politics, his political opponents can use this incident to attack him confidently!

None of the people who could become a member of the tens of thousands of militia command staff in Charleston was a fool, so naturally they would not stand out at such a time.

Even the one who was the first to confess, did not directly open his mouth to surrender, but reminded others in the name of saving the old, weak, women and children...

Sure enough, the proposal to use public opinion to decide whether to surrender was quickly approved.

Since no one wants to take responsibility, kick the responsibility to the mud legs below.

So York was treated kindly.

Everyone knew that Charleston couldn't hold on any longer, and naturally he didn't want to offend York, the emissary, at such a critical moment.

It didn't take long for the 1 or so assembled Charleston militiamen to be informed and given their decision.

Due to time constraints, the bigwigs of the city government used a very simple way to distinguish the "public opinion" of Charleston.

"For the sake of the old, weak, women and children in Charleston not to shed blood, those who are willing to surrender unconditionally, please speak up!"

The person holding the loudspeaker looked at the strange silence below, and could not help but sweat on his forehead.

Could it be that the public opinion in Charleston really wants to fight Yuri to the death?

If this is the result, I must flee the city overnight with my family!

The people on the stage were full of fear, while the people off the stage kept walking around.

At the same time, I panicked a lot.

If you agree to surrender at this time, will you be beaten to death by your blood-feuding colleagues?
