Chapter 1600: Politics (Ⅰ)

Joan said just now that he doesn’t want to make
difficult national wealth
or make
blood money
.
Proceeding from this principle, strictly speaking, he should not accept Professor Moriarty’s use of people’s fear of war for financial speculation to make huge profits.
However, the mentor's admonishment was very persuasive, and he couldn't help recalling the hard days that were once dominated by poverty. His heart was deeply touched.
After hesitating again and again, Joan finally accepted the money.
This made him deeply ashamed and had to admit that his conscience was not impeccable in the face of the temptation of money. Millions of dollars were enough to lower his moral bottom line.
Seeing Joan accept the cheque, Professor Moriarty's lips and lips were filled with a gratifying smile, and he turned and gave Duoer a snap.
"Open the bottle of sparkling wine, let's celebrate."
He personally poured a glass of wine for his students, and Professor Moriarty took the glass with a smile: "If you don't count those heirs who were born in wealthy homes, Joanne, you are probably the youngest million in Midgard City Rich, come, toast our financial freedom!"
Joan took a drink like a sleepwalker, toasted with the instructor, and drank it, only to feel a coolness flowing from the throat to the heart, and then turned into a hot burning.
Being a millionaire overnight caused the 15-year-old to suffer a great mental shock. It felt like he was in a dream, and he has not yet recovered his sober thinking ability.
Holding the tray, Duoer asked with great interest: "Mr. Vader, what are you going to use this money for?"
"I haven't figured it out yet." Joan told the truth. "There is nothing I want to buy for the time being. I probably still live as before, and everything is still the same."
The lives of rich people are so simple and boring.
Professor Moriarty smiled and patted the student's shoulder: "It doesn't matter. What you have is time to think about how to spend money. My child, enjoy this happy trouble!"
...
Although the Midgard colonial authorities tried their best to block the news and prohibit the reporting of the northern war, the truth could not be hidden forever. The news about the fall of Linyuanbao spread quickly and spread quickly in the city.
While people are still arguing about these true and false news, they do not know that a more terrible crisis is quietly approaching.
On April 28, 1622, the second day of the change of Linyuanbao, the deputy commander of the National Guard of Jothamheim, Thomas Kanghua, led a force to depart from New Avalon and entered the Linyuanbao on May 6. To complete the handover with Bannister Winthrop.
Lord Winslow, in collaboration with his two friends, Andri and Ferguson, returned to New Avalon, and soon returned to his home country, Feizhen, to participate in another military adventure.
General Kang Huali, who took over the command of the front line, left a thousand troops stationed in the fortress. In late May, he personally led 4,000 Fiji’s real army and the Caludong mercenary group was promoted from Linyuanbao, marching south, the soldiers pointed directly Midgard City.
By this time, the colonial authorities were already overwhelmed, and despite the news of the blockade, the rumor that General Convalley led his army south went almost overnight to the streets and alleys of Midgard City, and became a discussion at the table of thousands of households. focus.
Everyone's self-defeating panic atmosphere enveloped the city along with the night. Horse carriages eager to get out of the city blocked the streets. Most of the passengers brought their homes with their mouths. The purpose of going out of the city was nothing more than avoiding war.
Governor William Nichols had to appear publicly to appease the people, but unfortunately it had little effect. The letter of assistance to the mother government on the other side of the ocean was too late to respond. In desperation, he could only call for militia to support the capital. Seek self-help.
Conscripting the militia and preparing for the army is indeed the only measure that can solve the urgent need. However, the Fijians have already calculated this step before launching the offensive, and they have been arranged in advance, so that Sir Nichols’s conscript was reduced to nothing. Get the expected response.
Most of the villages and towns around Midgard have a militia self-defense force. Although the militia’s armed training and equipment are not as good as those of the regular army, they do not lack actual combat experience. They are still qualified as auxiliary combat forces.
At the beginning of the call, the militia organizations in most villages and towns were willing to respond to the Governor’s call, but they soon overwhelmed themselves and had to give up their plans to support the capital.
Shortly after the fall of Linyuanbao, disasters occurred frequently in Midgard, the dinosaurs in Lake Aosta rioted again, the aboriginal people of the Asa Valley launched a riot, and the snow monsters and winter wolves of the Fang Mountain swarmed down to plunder... …
Almost overnight, the villages and towns around Midgard are bursting into flames, and militiamen everywhere are struggling to deal with monster attacks and have no spare time to support the capital. Midgard City is in a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness.
There was no news about the support of the Empire, but ominous winds were heard on the other side. It is said that the Feizhen fleet was about to sail and cooperated with General Convalley's forces to block Midgard City from both the sea and the land.
If the rumors are true, then the day when the Feizhen fleet arrives in the port of Midgard, the city will usher in the fall.
Bad news came one after another, the people in the city were panicking, and the tide of escape was increasing day by day.
The City Council has not stopped, and the "dove" members are connected in private and are actively planning to submit a so-called "special period protection bill".
If the bill is passed, then the parliament has the power to appoint a representative to negotiate peace with the Fijian side. On the condition that the Fijian military promises to protect the lives and property of the residents in the city, it agrees to renounce resistance and surrender.
The colonial governor, Sir Nickels, and the garrison commander, Baron Laval, firmly opposed the de facto "surrender bill," but as the footsteps of the war approached, public opinion gradually reached their opposites.
The reason why the surrender argument is so popular in the city will be inseparable from Feizhen's temporary change.
The commander of the Feizhen South Corps was originally Winslow the Little, the "Blood Prince". This son-in-law has excellent military talents and super personal strength, but his reputation is not good, and his murderous habits are outrageous.
If it was still Winslow Jr. who led the army south to attack Midgard City, the residents of the city knew the man’s name and knew exactly what would happen to him in the hands. Give it a go.
However, this is not the case.
Not long ago, Count Rolls Winthrop, the colonial governor of Jodenheim, specifically recalled his son from the front, appointing General Thomas Convalley as commander of the Southward Corps.
In the eyes of the residents of Midgard City, the unusual move of Earl Winslow released a very clear signal.
