Chapter 503 (1/2)

Salian is not in the hall of Parliament, but in the next lounge.

The hall is full of people's voices, and many people are arguing and yelling fiercely. However, all of these are isolated by the heavy door of the rest room. The smoky rest room can't hear anything outside.

Inherited the tradition of the dren empire.

The decoration of the lounge is simple and heavy, and the color is single, or a little monotonous. Gray and black are the main colors here, and a few bloody curtains hanging from the ceiling are the only warm colors in the rest room.

Salian, Conrad, Hamden of the Empire, Schwein, guster, Wenzel, Corell and so on Oh, and then there's Eden, the military secretary who has become the logistics chief of the Imperial Army, and hilheim von Hyde, the dark faced and ugly foreign secretary.

With so many imperial ministers and generals gathered in this small rest room, everyone's face was not good-looking except for Salian. The face of Foreign Minister hillheim was the most ugly one.

Salian is sitting on a sofa. On the low table in front of him is a stainless steel ashtray filled with thin cigarette ends.

A few bags of wrinkled desert iron camel smoke are randomly thrown on the low table, and Salian is holding a thin cigarette in his mouth, constantly spouting long smoke from his nostrils.

His hair was a little messy, and on his well-defined face, the thick moustache had grown out, which made him feel a bit more melancholy. A little wrinkled coat was draped over his shoulders, the collar of his shirt was spread, and his shirt was a little wrinkled. It was obvious that he had not taken care of his appearance these two days.

Conrad sat opposite him, dressed in a stiff, neat uniform, with no logo on his epaulets. He held his hands to his chest and looked at Salian in silence.

His eyes were as deep as ice, staring directly at Salian, without any emotional fluctuations in his eyes.

A group of imperial ministers sat on one side of the sofa. Except for hilheim, all the others were carrying cigarettes and puffing smoke, which made the whole lounge a mess.

Hillheim, biting his teeth, stood up from time to time, went to the main entrance of the lounge, and listened to the movement of the outside by sticking to the crack of the door - of course, the door was too thick for him to hear anything.

So, he would shake his head, go back to the sofa with a gloomy face, smash himself into the sofa heavily, and make a dull sound.

After seven or eight times like this, hillheim stood up abruptly and waved his hands to Salian: ”Your Highness, what do you think? Too much, too much The guy named Joe Jung wito, I suggest, take him to court martial! ”

”Why?” Salian gave hillheim a light puff of smoke.

”In violation of the medland public foreign law, so many people have been arrested for no reason I don't need to repeat their identities. Joe Jung witu's behavior has greatly damaged the Empire's diplomacy and reputation. He should be punished most severely. ”

Salian took a deep breath.

A small half of the cigarette burned out quickly. He took a cigarette out of the cigarette box on the table, lit it with a cigarette end, and crushed it heavily in the ashtray.

”Don't be angry, hillheim. Joe's behavior has my permission. Otherwise, do you think he can mobilize the garrison of the imperial capital? ” Salian squinted and waved to hillheim.

Conrad coughed softly.

Admiral Eden, who was sitting next to him, stood up and looked at Salian solemnly: ”Your Highness, I have to tell you a bad thing - before, Lieutenant General Jackson, the chief military officer of the ice sea Kingdom Embassy in China, gave me a secret message...”

”The threat of war?” Sarian interrupted Eden: ”because of their fleet near the island of California, they dare to threaten the empire with war?”

Eden's face turned a little red. He felt that he should, as a naval minister, remind Salian that the strength of the Imperial Navy, even if doubled and doubled, was not the rival of the fleet of the ice sea Kingdom near jiaxijia.

Conrad eyebrow angle slightly move, he acutely found his brother's a little bit wrong.

He rushed in front of Eden and said in a deep voice, ”Salian, don't you regard the fleet of the ice sea kingdom as a threat? I think you should have received information about the strength of that fleet... ”

”That fleet is powerful. I admit that. ” He looked at his brother through the smoke. ”But we all know it. If that fleet wants to go to war, it's not for a trivial Edward. ”

Conrad said coldly, ”but the Edwards incident gave them the best excuse to fight They can avoid the real reason for war. ”

Salian breathed heavily: ”isn't that good? We don't want them to disclose the real reason for the war, do we? That Treasure, we would rather... ”Hillheim roared, and he rudely interrupted Salian's words: ”but your highness, if the ice sea Kingdom attacks the port of Toulon on the pretext of the Edward incident, for the same reason, Gaul, Saint Heather, nice And, Lucia, they can all use it to wage war. ”

”At least before I came here, there were more than ten ambassadors who mildly expressed their strongest attitude to me,” hilheim said
