Chapter 1937 The Eve
Incompetent fury!
This term refers to the current emperor of the Penteo Empire.

Apart from yelling meaninglessly, he really didn't have much good way to do it!

The national power is getting weaker and weaker. If Gefra was not destroyed during the period and plundered a country's wealth and resources, it might have ended!

But even so, it is still unsustainable until now.

Other things, yes or no, good or bad, are not really important.

It's like eating, eating poorly or better, and ultimately filling the stomach. For people in special times, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it really doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not.

But war is different, you can kill with cold weapons, and you can kill with hot weapons, but... there is really a difference in what to use.

If you don’t have money, you have no money. If you can’t make it, you can’t make it. You can only watch.

The fighting on the front line appears to be slowing down again after two months of intense firefights.

In the blink of an eye, more than three years of war completely emptied Peng Jieao's treasury.

After the morning shift, the ministers left in groups of two or three, each with a different expression on their faces.

The situation at the front has gotten worse, and His Majesty the Emperor has lost his mind.

The best thing to do now is to focus on peace negotiations as much as possible and end the war instead of continuing the war!
In more than three years, if he could win, he would have won already, and he would not wait until now!

By now, even if you get some more money, you won't be able to win.

People are not optimistic about the outcome of this war. More importantly, the Federals have hit their land!

This means that the federal people may permanently occupy a certain area, thereby annexing Penteo bit by bit.

Now the larger the federal occupation area, the greater the possibility. If they demanded to cede a piece of land like Gefra did before, this would be an unbearable result for Penteo!
There is still time to negotiate peace now...

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has a lot of power in Penteeau and is also an important weather vane among the ministers.

As soon as he got home, the previous guest was already waiting for him.

After last night's meeting and some sudden news, the chancellor's attitude towards visitors has become less refusal.

Visitors can also feel that this is good news.

"What are you doing here again?" The Minister of Finance entered the study with him, saying something against his will.

Whether in Federation, Penteo, or Gafla, acting is a skill that politicians must master.

The visitor bowed slightly, "I have brought some new news, maybe you will be very interested, it is related to the negotiation."

This sentence really made the Chancellor of the Exchequer very interested. If it weren't for the fact that the federal people had not made too much demands in the last negotiation, and there was no sincerity in the negotiation, the two sides might have ceased fighting now.

He seemed to be pondering, but actually he didn't want the visitor to control his emotions too easily.

After more than ten seconds, he said impatiently, "Then you can talk about it."

The visitor bowed again, "You must know that the Federation is not a country with an imperial system, where Congress is the institution that can determine the future direction of the country."

The chancellor nodded, then shook his head slightly, "But when war breaks out, the president is the one with the most power!"

The visitor smiled and neither refuted nor admitted, "Behind the Congress are countless federal capitalists. Some people use 'Capitalist Congress' to describe that place!"

"Every big capitalist, chaebol, they have many political spokespersons, if there is no war, they are the rulers of the Federation!"

"Do you agree with my opinion?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought for a while and nodded yes.

He has studied the federal political system and is well aware of the particularities of Congress.

A Congress that has the power to impeach a president can easily remove a disobedient president as long as necessary.

More than one person was impeached. More than ten years ago, someone stepped down due to impeachment, which further proves the special nature of Congress.

This also made the chancellor a little interested, "What do you want to say, or what do you want to express to me?"

The visitor smiled brightly, and didn't care to reveal more information, "I have many friends, including some federal capitalists."

"Recently, the president of the Federation has promoted a lot of bills, which seriously hurt the interests of capitalists, but you know, now is the time of war."

"Congress is suspended, they can't resist, so we are not the only ones who want the war to stop, there are also many powerful and influential people in the Federation who want the war to stop!"

"Both of them already have a basis for cooperation!"

This was beyond the expectation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and at the same time, he felt disgusted with the capitalists in the Federation in his heart!

If the situation was reversed, someone would dare to privately think about ending a war that was extremely valuable to Peng Jieao and had already gained an advantage.

Then these people will definitely be hanged in the square of the imperial capital for treason, then air-dried and circulated to all provinces!
But disgusting. Although disgusting, this thing can be done.

After all, it is not the Federation that is at a disadvantage now, but Peng Jieao.

He touched the ring on his finger calmly, "You said, the Congress has been suspended, and they can't change the decision of the federal president."

The visitor nodded, "That's true, but that doesn't mean there's no chance."

"We can talk about peace first, even if..."

He smiled and pursed his lips, with a very unpleasant look, "You know, even if we suffer a little loss in the negotiated agreement, it is acceptable."

"Once the war is over, the state of war in the Union is over, and the presidential centralization is lifted, Congress will start anew."

"They will impeach the federal president immediately, and then the vice president will restart negotiations."

"They will find some reasons to release them, and release some conditions that are not good for us!"

"Other than that, loans, rebuilds, they promised us all!"

"All they want is peace!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has already understood that, to put it bluntly, it is a group of businessmen who have been oppressed by the federal president, trying to use the power of Congress to get the president out of office.

As for national interests, they use it as a bargaining chip, and they don't care at all.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was a little bit emotional, and he didn't know whether it was just luck or some other reason that such a country could win the empire.

The people of the Federation see everything in the Penteo Empire as corrupt, but when they look at the Federation from the eyes of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is not only corrupt, but also fucking hypocritical!
It seems that everyone is equal, isn't there a clear social class?
In fact, everyone is almost the same, but they are better at packaging themselves!

The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought about it for a while, but still shook his head, which surprised the visitors.

"Do you have any ideas, why don't we communicate, maybe that is not an unsolvable problem?"

The Minister of the Exchequer did not hide it, "I am very moved by what you said, but I cannot guarantee that everything you said is true. This requires a heavyweight person to guarantee it."

"Secondly, it doesn't make any sense for you to convince me alone, I can't change anything!"

"If you can convince more people and have someone as a guarantee, then you can contact me again, and I will give it serious consideration!"

"And..." he pointed, "...you don't have much time left!"

The Second Guards Corps will soon return to the imperial capital to change defenses. According to the news he got, there are still about three days.

Once the visitors couldn't convince him for three days, he wouldn't do it.

The visitor also knew that persuasion was useless, but the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was already the most successful result.

He stood up and said goodbye, "No more than 24 hours, you will see everything!"

After the visitors left, the Minister of Finance sat for a while. He knew that someone wanted to use the second prince as an excuse to launch a coup.

It's just that there are too many uncertain factors now, and he can't be sure whether it is true to do so.

But the domestic situation is really too bad!

Several dependent countries have almost cut off the connection with Peng Jieo, not because they are so courageous that they can ignore the suzerain country.

But the internal strife in these countries has left them no time for external wars. A small country has become completely independent in the past few days, and the former rulers have basically been killed.

According to internal sources, independence will be declared in a week at most.

This is actually very bad news. The independence of these small countries will exacerbate the decline of the Penteio Empire. Without these blood-supplying countries, Penteio's fall will only be faster!

in case……

Everything is really as the visitor said, it may not be impossible to do so!
The day passed quickly, and in the evening when the son of the chancellor came back from the outside, it was raining lightly.

In spring, there is more rain.

When he went to the living room and sat down, he was still complaining.

"The roads in and out of the city are so bad, hell, they don't fix the road..."

The chancellor glanced at some mud spots on the trousers of the middle-aged man, "Are you out of town?"

The middle-aged man nodded and sat beside him, "It started to rain in the afternoon, and some places are blocked, I have to keep an eye on it."

"There were a lot of trucks coming in and out today, did something happen?"

He looked at the Minister of Finance. As one of the top nobles in the empire, he could feel that the atmosphere in the imperial capital was getting more and more wrong.

After the Minister of Finance heard this, his face changed slightly, "Is it the imperial family's baggage car?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "No, some belong to nobles, and some I can't tell!"

At this moment, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has realized that whether he agrees or not, this coup is very likely to break out.

The time left for him is running out!

Once he did not make a decision before the coup, no matter whether the royal family could have the last laugh or the nobles defeated the royal family, he would have no good fruit to eat!
This also made him fall into deep anxiety.

How...how should I choose?
