Gold is Justice

However, Kenton did not give in.After silently waiting for the laughter of the crowd to gradually quiet down, he suddenly stood up from his seat, pointed at the general with his hand, and shouted——

"I don't recognize the law, and think that whoever robs it should belong to him? In this way, if there are robbers who rob farmers' land and food, then the robbers are also right? This general, as far as I know, the general of your mermaid army Most of them were born as civilians, so you should know what kind of life you lived in the past. If according to your statement, everything that can be snatched should belong to robbers, then what is the difference between your current behavior and robbers? ? Why do you still demand the return of those lords who once occupied your land?"

Perhaps, this general hadn't read many books, so he was speechless after being scolded all of a sudden.

And Kenton didn't stop there, but continued to say——

"All over the world, the emperor leads the people to establish the country and maintain the rule! The land is given to the emperor by heaven, and the emperor bestows on ordinary people. But according to this general, anyone who robs your land is a crime. Wan Shi, you are justified in grabbing other people's land! Is this a kind of double standard? What is good for you is a good thing, and what is not good for you is a fallacy?!"

The general's face was pale, and some department leaders who were still laughing just now couldn't laugh anymore.

Kenton continued—

"I have always heard that the mermaid army governs the army and territory with fairness and equality, and I hope to manage everyone with a set of just and unified laws. Since it is the law, it should be equal. Such a double standard, so profitable Forgetting righteousness, what is the difference between such a greedy behavior and robbers? What is the difference between your mermaid army and the demon army you are fighting against?! This gentleman, I am asking you, what is the difference???! !!"

The general was dumb, not knowing how to reply, so he could only keep his mouth shut and lower his head.

At this moment, another civil servant stood up and said——

"Mr. Kenton, if you talk about the rule of law, can the emperor of your Blue Bay Empire obey the laws of our Mermaid Army? But if your emperor refuses to obey the laws of our Mermaid Army, but still wants our Mermaid Army to follow your Blue Bay The emperor's law, this is a bit too ridiculous, if you can use your own law to govern other people's family, why don't you see that the Blue Bay Empire used this method to manage your former leader, the Murder Hunter Seat?"

Kenton's eyes fell on the civil servant, his face twitched slightly, his big nose sucked, he saluted him, and said, "Who are you?"

The civil servant smiled and said, "Minister of Tourism, Venice sinks."

Kenton snorted again, and said, "Mr. Venice, may I ask if your mermaid army regards Ariel Garcia as Her Majesty the Empress?"

Venice was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The mermaid army will not have an emperor, this is something everyone knows."

Surely he laughed and said loudly: "Since the mermaid army has no emperor, it means that the current mermaid army is still an immature political system. Such a political system has never appeared in human history! Talk about a barbarian state , just relying on this bravery, not being favored by the emperor, not being educated, it should be taken for granted!"

The Minister of Tourism's face suddenly pulled down, thinking about why you just came up and scolded people?

But Kenton continued: "The Blue Bay Empire and the Murderous Seat Empire are the leading countries, and there is indeed a rift between them. But both sides are people with the power of the emperor, and they both recognize the legitimacy of the other's throne. The status is lofty! Moreover, the economic and trade exchanges between the two sides are also very close. It can be said that the laws of our country and the country of the murderer seat have detailed regulations on this. How can it be said that neither side can use its own laws to control the other? Reason? But Mr. Venice, as the Minister of Tourism, do you know how many scenic spots are there in the entire Blue Bay Empire? How many scenic spots can be reclaimed and generate income from cultural tourism?"

Venice's face darkened, and he immediately said, "How could I not know this?"

Kenton nodded, and didn't let Venice continue talking. He waved his hand and said, "You are very clear, of course you are clear, because most of your working time is spent on these things. But now we are discussing the royal family and the royal family. Regarding the issue of the weight between your local armies, may I ask the Minister of Tourism of Venice how much he knows about the situation of strategic warfare when he only knows about tourism resources? If what you know is really not as big as an ant, then please sit down and be obedient Just listen, so as not to embarrass the mermaid army you represent."

The tourism minister's face was also blue and white from anger, but he was speechless, and now he could only sit down and not speak.

At this time, the cheese over there finally spoke: "Mr. Kenton is really eloquent. However, with good eloquence, I also hope you have a good skill. After all, people who speak too much , when you die, you usually don’t look too good.”

Kenton turned his head, stared directly at Cheese over there and said, "Mr. Night Clan, according to what you mean, are you threatening your life? Or is this the way your mermaid army is doing? Once you can't get something or want something, if you can't achieve the goal of the negotiation, you want to find a way to get rid of the negotiating person?"

After the two rounds of contest just now, Cheese also understood what this person meant, then smiled and said: "Mr. Kenton's understanding ability is really limited, I just warn you about your fighting ability I think, since Mr. Kenton was able to come to our country alone to carry out his ambassadorial activities, he must have encountered no danger along the way, right? May I ask the ambassador of the Blue Bay Empire how he feels about the state of security maintained by our mermaid army along the way? satisfy?"

Kenton rolled his eyes a little, then cleared his voice, and said, "Once the Demon King's army subsides, the residents of the Blue Bay Empire who feel His Majesty's glory will of course live and work in peace. Of course, I will not completely deny the maintenance function of your mermaid army." , it may have played a little role in this.”

The cheese snorted, raised his hand and patted the table, and said after a loud noise: "Live and work in peace and contentment? Mr. Kenton said it lightly. You know, long before the rise of the Demon King's Army, there were thieves everywhere in the Blue Bay Empire , the common people live without a fixed place. After three consecutive years of severe drought, countless rebels in your mouth rose up. With that kind of ruling ability, you still have the face to come here to ask for land? If you really think that the land is In your case, when the rebels were everywhere, why didn't you ask those rebels for land? Or, you don't have the ability to get it?"

After hearing Cheese's rebuttal, everyone present couldn't help admiring secretly, and gave the blood clan their thumbs up.

Next, everyone turned their attention to Kenton here to see how he was going to take this trick.

After a short pause, Kenton said without hesitation: "The severe drought in the world has caused rebels to rise everywhere. Isn't this a pain point in Belan Fourteen's heart? My Majesty is seeing that the common people can't get enough to eat." , When I can't sleep well, I also feel like a knife is twisted in my heart, and I can't sleep at night. Your Majesty knows that there has been a severe drought for three years, and even more so that it is because of this that such a huge natural and man-made disaster has been caused! This sin is not your Majesty, but the light. God's test for His Majesty."

"It is precisely because His Majesty knows the sufferings of the people, and also knows that these people don't really want to seize the land, but just want to have a good meal. In that case, you ask those people what they want from the dry land of Naxi Use? At that time, will they squat next to those lands and think that these lands are theirs, so they will not rebel?"

"So, the reason why the rebels betrayed is not because they want land, but because they want food and a place to live. But this is different from what you mermaid army is doing now. You will want to eat because you don't have enough to eat." Do you want to plunder the land? Dare to ask anyone present, even the gentlemen and ladies of the Night Clan, will attack humans because of lack of food? I believe you will not. If this is the case, the legality of your occupation of the land is still insufficient. You It’s not because of necessity, but because of greed! Mister of the Night Clan, do you dare to say that your desire for territory is because of power? Or is it because of survival?”

Cheese still wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Kenton over there went on to say——

"Mr. Cheese, you are one of the top fighters in Song of the Mermaid, but you assisted Ms. Ariel Garcia to enter the forbidden land, and prevented the brave from re-sealing the devil at all costs. Most of the members attacked the brave together, and finally the brave died in battle. The devil also broke the seal and descended to the earth. If the devil's army hadn't captured Heize Province with a destructive force and destroyed the defense army of our Blue Bay Empire, your mermaid army is now Could it be so easy to deal with the Demon King Army entrenched in Haize Province? Or, do you think those Blue Bay soldiers who guarded Haize Province and Juyang City at the beginning deserved their deaths? Their bravery and refusal to surrender In your opinion, is it a stupid act? Their heroic fighting resulted in the weakening of the troops of the Blue Bay Empire, which gave you enough strength and time to capture Giant Ocean City, do you want to deny all these facts?!"

Kenton's words became more and more fierce, but what he said seemed to be more and more reasonable.

It is true that the Demon King was released by Song of the Mermaid. It is also true that the Demon King's army swept Haize Province and captured Juyang City. It is undeniable that the Blue Bay Empire lost its troops because of this.

Coupled with the previous robber theory, even among the leaders of the mermaid army present, some hesitation could not help flickering in their hearts.

After all, combat can rely on strength.But if the mermaid army really wants to become bigger and stronger, it still needs to be able to reason in many cases.

Cheese was so stunned that he couldn't speak for a while, his eyes glowed scarlet, and the fangs at the corners of his mouth were slightly exposed.

But after all, he still knew that he couldn't just have an attack like this, so he could only bear it silently.

Seeing that Cheese was defeated, the jelly next to him looked around, got up, and saluted slightly to Kenton over there.

When Kenton saw Jelly standing up, he naturally turned around and returned the salute.

"Mr. Kenton, your eloquence is really amazing. I am not a person who is very good at debating, so I will not have this kind of discussion with you that I must lose."

Jelly's words sounded like she was giving in, but Kenton knew the meaning very well.This clearly means that Kenton is just a very eloquent person, right?

It took almost no time to think about it, Kenton immediately said: "General Gel said that he is not good at words, but now it sounds like you are also a very good talent."

Jelly smiled, raised his left hand and said, "After the discussion just now, I have also seriously thought about the problems our mermaid army is facing now. Indeed! If you follow the standard you mentioned, then Heize Province and Giant It seems that Yangcheng should indeed be returned to the Blue Bay Empire, and there is no problem with this reasoning."

Hearing what Jelly said, Coco next to him widened his eyes!

No, it's not just Coco, but all the members of Mermaid Song and most of the department leaders here are all showing expressions of horror and disbelief now!

Coco: "(softly) what are you talking about?! If you can't speak, just sit down and stop talking!"

Jelly seemed to have not heard Coco's reminder at all, and continued with a smile on her face: "Mr. Kenton, as a person, I agree with your point of view. You can't take other people's things and don't return them, and you can't say something Those things belong to whoever takes them.”

Kenton's expression obviously did not look happy because of these words, he silently watched the jelly in front of him, nodded slightly, but did not respond.

But after that, Jelly spread her hands and continued to smile and said, "However, I also understand another truth. That is, you need to pay for helping others. The more helpful you are, the more money you ask for. The bigger it is, right? After all, no one in the world should work for another person for free. Even if His Majesty the Emperor asks the civilians of your Blue Bay Empire to work, they still need to be paid, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Kenton said, "My Majesty has already promised the reward you need."

Jelly shook her head, continued to smile and said, "A knighthood is just a title. Even if I am promoted to an earl right now, I won't get anything if I die immediately. What I mean by remuneration is more real money." Moreover, these rewards are not only for our leaders, but also for those soldiers who were injured or even lost their lives in this war.”

Hearing this, Kenton's eyes narrowed slightly, forming a thin line.

Seeing this, Jelly continued to say——

"In order to capture Giant Ocean City, we spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and countless money was exhausted in this war. Maybe Mr. Kenton didn't know it, but the essence of war is money. "

"Let's start with the battle of Woodpecker Town at the very beginning, and now to the battle of expelling and annihilating demons in Heize Province. As far as I know, we have lost more than 5000 soldiers in total in this battle , and more than 300 soldiers were injured. And among them, three hot air balloons, more than 1000 elemental guns, more than [-] elemental cannons, and almost [-] simple elemental cannons were damaged, as well as countless ammunition for the time being. .”

"If such consumption is calculated with the currency of our mermaid army, the total consumption will not be less than one million. Just one battle consumes so much, I wonder if the Blue Bay Empire can give us compensation? Oh, yes, except In addition to the compensation, didn't King Belan Fourteen still want to reward us? Then counting the rewards, the total is about 200 million fish coins. I don't know when the Blue Bay Empire plans to settle this debt? At that time, we will naturally I am willing to offer Heise Province with both hands."

Hearing this, the people who seemed a little anxious just now finally breathed a sigh of relief.

200 million war proceeds?

Just thinking about it makes it impossible. Although the cost of conquering the entire Heize Province is indeed huge, anyone with a little common sense knows that such a huge sum of money is absolutely impossible.

But the question is, even if this Kenton knows that it is impossible to have such a huge sum of money, so what?How would he refute it?Of course, all the records of the mermaid army's material consumption and property loss belong to the mermaid army. Does the ambassador of the Blue Bay Empire still come to check the accounts?Did he check it?

Of course, if the Blue Bay Empire can really take out 200 million material currency as compensation, it can definitely be regarded as a huge sum of money!With such a huge amount of money, if Heize Province is really returned to the Blue Bay Empire, it seems to be a very lucrative business.

The leaders of the mermaid army could think of these details, and of course Kenton could too.

The envoy of the Blue Bay Empire squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, then stood up straight, facing the jelly here, and said——

"General Jelly, I admire you very much. If an ordinary person loses an arm and loses all the magic affinity, they will probably be devastated. But it is not easy for you to reach the position of general of the mermaid army with your own ability. .”

One thousand 660 chapters of chaotic decision-making

Jelly smiled and nodded slightly in response.

"I know, it's impossible for me to inquire about your real war consumption, and it's impossible for me to come up with a price that both of us feel is reasonable based on these war consumption. But now, I want to discuss this issue with you seriously, Let's see if we can come up with an answer that is satisfactory to both parties."

Jelly nodded and said nothing.

Kenton immediately waved his hand and said loudly——

"So far, among the seven provinces in the entire Blue Bay Empire, only the Huoyuan Province can be temporarily controlled by our empire. Then, there are two provinces controlled by your Mermaid Army, Shannan Province and the current Heize Province. But The remaining Tianhong Province, Diliao Province, Marginal Province, and the most important Hanhai Province are all in the hands of the Demon King Army."

"Today, Hanhai province borders Huoyuan and Shannan provinces, while Haize province borders Tianhong and Diliao provinces. In other words, if it wasn't for our imperial army helping your mermaid army to share the pressure from Hanhai province, then Your mermaid army will be in danger of being flanked by the Demon King's army."

"Now, our Duke Jin Guo personally leads an army to station on the border between Hanhai Province and Huoyuan Province, in order to prevent the attack of the Demon King Army in Hanhai Province. In comparison, Shannan Province has many mountains, although It borders Hanhai Province, but the attack route is inconvenient, so even if the Demon King's army attacks, it will definitely choose Shannan Province, which is the defense line where Duke Jin Guo is stationed to break through."

"So, General Jelly, you keep saying how much manpower and material resources the Mermaid Army spent to capture Heize Province, but have you estimated that the soldiers of our Blue Bay Empire are now paying for defending your rear area? How much blood and glory has been lost?"

"If you want to talk about the casualties, the mermaid army has them, so don't we in the Blue Bay Empire? If you want to talk about the materials you spent, don't we? You and our country are currently in an alliance state, but you don't have them at all. Isn’t it chilling and heartbreaking to see what our empire has done for you and only think about how much you have spent?”

Obviously, Jelly didn't think of this just now, and after being so teased back suddenly, she seemed a little speechless.

Up to now, Kenton seemed to have finally brewed all the emotions, waved his hands and said-"Nowadays, we are an alliance with each other, and we should have compromised in a friendly and mutual-aid way. Of course, I I also know that our empire requires you to directly return the territory that took a lot of effort to directly return to us, and you must feel uncomfortable and feel inappropriate. Then I might as well take the initiative to give in here!"

After arranging his collar a little, Kenton looked around at everyone present again, and said: "The people of our Blue Bay Empire have heard that they can return to their hometowns and their towns. They are very excited. They have been away from their hometown for a full year, so they are very much looking forward to returning to their homeland as soon as possible. Therefore, we do not ask you to return all the territories to our country, but you can first Return Giant Ocean City. As long as you return Giant Ocean City first, and return all the towns leading to Giant Ocean City to our Blue Bay Empire, then the remaining land can be used as compensation for your mermaid army .And in this way, both of us have made a concession, I think this idea should be very good."

Good idea?

It does sound good at first glance.

But several generals immediately understood what this meant!

The Blue Bay Empire wants Giant Ocean City and a large area of ​​arable land, but they still don't want to face the Demon King's army directly!So do you still want to put the mermaid army at the front to protect them?

On the spot, several people clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and glared at Kenton.

But Kenton didn't care, just smiled, looked at everyone in front of him, and waited for their reply.

Jelly looked a little embarrassed, and now she could only sit back in her seat silently.

Coco next to him saw it, gritted his teeth, and immediately wanted to get up and find some reason to argue, but at this moment, Margo stood up and said: "Mr. Kenton, this matter is too important, we can't A decision was made in such a short period of time. So, we hope to wait for a while, let us discuss and discuss, and then make a decision."

Ke Ke seemed to want to refute something, but after searching her brain, she found that she really couldn't think of any good ideas, and when she really made her speak, she probably could only be incompetent and furious, so she finally shut her mouth.

For this answer, Kenton also smiled and nodded slightly.Afterwards, he glanced around the conference hall and said, "In that case, I'll wait for everyone's response. I think Ms. Marquis should have heard my request, and the Blue Bay Empire has also heard my request." I believe that the leader of Mermaid Song will give us a satisfactory answer."

"Then, please forgive me for taking my leave."

After the words fell, the diplomatic envoy turned around very smartly, and walked out of the conference hall with big strides.He didn't care at all how many pairs of eyes seemed to be staring at him from behind, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Boom-!

After the door was closed again, Tesla knocked on the table vigorously, and said bitterly: "Shall we send some people to beat him up? This guy is really too arrogant!"

The cheese also said with a stern face: "Do you need to create some accidents? Cream is very good at this kind of thing, but we should also make it, make an accident, and then return his body to the Blue Bay Empire. It's a good deal."

Bass: "Let me handle it. I'm not good at traps or accidents, but I can make things the simplest and cleanest. As long as there are no people around, it doesn't matter if it's an accident or something else."
