Pirates: I, who cultivated phantom beasts, made myself emperor

The consul, who had gray hair and was much older than the king, took a step forward and said hurriedly:

“Your Majesty the King, such an approach is definitely extremely inappropriate, and may even lead to the crime of annihilating the country accidentally.

We have all seen that the World Government has just suffered a huge defeat, its reputation has been seriously damaged, and its credibility is at its weakest moment. If we openly refuse to hand over the heavenly gold at this time, I am afraid that we will immediately usher in the destruction of the World Government. of blow. "

General Doriyu turned to look at the consul, faced each other tit for tat, and said coldly:

"The Consul should know what our military strength is. Now that the Navy has become independent from the World Government, the World Government only has spy agencies and some armies far away from us. What is there to be afraid of!"

The white-haired consul with wrinkles on his face sighed, "General, have you forgotten the red eyes you just saw in the live broadcast?

The two Four Emperors and the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Long, can't defeat him. If this person takes action, we will be destroyed in an instant, and His Majesty the King's decades of hard work will be in vain. . "

General Duoli was stunned, stamped his feet hard, his thick silver armor jingled, and sighed heavily, full of helplessness.

The surrounding ministers were silent at this moment. They all understood that it was extremely difficult for this talented and strategic king to turn a poor country into a prosperous country with strong military and horses after his coronation.

The king has always wanted to expand his territory and establish greater achievements, but now the country's internal development has reached a bottleneck.

King Ivatobi leaned his body, leaning his head on his wrist, maintaining a more comfortable posture. He didn't particularly care about such inconsequential etiquette details. What he wanted was for Brandy to really stand up.

When can the Brandy Kingdom truly get rid of the influence of the World Government?

Only by climbing higher can his people truly be safe. Seeing that all the ministers were not discussing at this moment, he said slowly:

“Everyone, it seems that the people of our country now live and work in peace and contentment, with no worries and no wars, and the national army is strong and well-trained.

But this is only on the surface. Today's country is a castle in the air, lacking real strong people as the pillars of the country. When the strong wind blows, no matter how prosperous the scene is, it will disappear in an instant.

Let alone being as strong as the Four Emperors, just talking about the first round of flame arrows from the Vulcan Army, can we withstand it? "

The sound echoed in the hall and lingered for a long time. All the ministers were silent and silent.

Plop.

General Dori knelt on his knees, and his silver armor hit the ground, making a crisp sound, "I am incompetent!"

Other ministers also knelt down and echoed in unison.

"Get up."

King Iwatobi shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with you. You have done a good enough job. For decades, our monarchs and ministers have worked together to develop the national economy and build the country. What we lack is not diligence, but opportunity!

Now that the world is undergoing major changes, the time has come. If we don't seize the opportunity and do something, I'm afraid the world situation will be reshuffled again next time, and we, the Brandy Kingdom, will still have no say.

Even some people have never heard of our Brandy Kingdom. "

All the ministers looked at the king with high spirits, knowing that the king had already made a decision in his mind.

The king, who had a strand of white hair on each temple, stood up slowly, supported the simple dragon pillar on the throne, looked depressed, and continued:

"You should also know that our country has secretly cultivated an army of 15 troops, including the army on the surface, just to wait for this golden opportunity today.

Not only must we refuse to pay this year's heavenly gold, but we must be the first to stand up and declare to the world that we will withdraw from the world government and become independent. If the situation in the future makes it necessary, we must also be ready to send troops to support the revolutionary army at any time. "

As soon as the words fell to the ground, all the ministers in the palace hall were in an uproar, and they all took a breath.

"His Majesty the King, think again. This is too risky. Refusing to pay the heavenly gold is already a slap in the face of the World Government. If we withdraw from the World Government now, the Five Old Stars will never let us go."

"If you make one wrong move, the whole country will be in dire straits!"

"Your Majesty the King, please discuss this matter again. It is better to take a long-term approach."

An old minister fell on the stone slab on the ground, begging bitterly, and burst into tears.

The young militants headed by General Tori were all full of energy and excitement.

However, even the general who thought about fighting and making great achievements day and night felt that this decision was a bit crazy. He clasped his fists heavily and said:

"Your Majesty, 15 Brandy Soldiers are on standby at any time. Once Your Majesty makes a decision, I will immediately order all soldiers across the country to prepare for war. I just don't know when Your Majesty will decide to announce his withdrawal from the World Government?"

The king narrowed his eyes and stared at the civil and military ministers in front of him, and did not speak for a long time.

All the ministers were also quiet, waiting for the king's decision. In their country, the king was a man of his word, and there was no arbitrary decision by the ministers.

Every amazing decision His Majesty the King has made over the past few decades has later been proven to be right.

After thinking for a long time, the king's majestic voice slowly said:

"Tomorrow morning."

The plain voice once again set off a violent wave, and all the ministers' eyes widened.

Even the warlike general said: "Your Majesty the King, isn't tomorrow too early? Why don't we announce our withdrawal a month later when the heavenly gold is paid, so that we can still have time to see clearly what's next? development situation.”

Other ministers echoed: "The general's words are more prudent."

"You are wrong."

The king walked slowly down the steps with calm steps and said with emotion:

"This matter is originally a gamble and cannot wait. If it is delayed until a month later and the situation is clear, then whether it is independent or not may not mean much.

The revolutionary army is now weak, and the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be a heavy loss to all theaters of the revolutionary army.

If we declare independence at this time and then provide support to the northern theater of the Revolutionary Army, it will be a timely help. Even if the Five Old Stars personally come to destroy us, the leader of the Revolutionary Army will not sit idly by.

As well as the relationship between Long and the Fifth Emperor Cheng Cheng, at the critical moment, maybe the Five Emperors will personally come to protect us. "

The white-haired consul knelt on his knees, with tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you are gambling with your own life!"

King Ivatobi stepped forward and bent down to help the 70-year-old consul, and said slowly:

"Uncle, the whole world is changing now, and our Brandy Kingdom is just an existence that can be easily crushed to death in front of those truly powerful people.

Now having a chance to sit at the gambling table is already a great opportunity. "
