Chapter 188 The Queen’s Teaching
In the palace at night, Princess Anne was reporting to the Queen what happened during the day.
"Earl Brandlis is right, you are indeed too indecisive, Anne." After listening to Princess Anne's report, the Queen shook her head with some disappointment: "Emergency times require Use extraordinary means. Earl Brandlis is right. At times like this, we cannot hesitate. We must use thunderous means to quickly eliminate those opponents and stabilize the political situation of the empire."
Obviously, the Queen. His thoughts and attitudes were the same as those of Purficott, who felt that these potential opponents and threats should be dealt with quickly.
However, Princess Anne still didn't understand and said: "But mother, didn't you teach me before that as a royal family, when dealing with these matters, you must have enough ironclad evidence to make people speechless? ?”
"That is under normal circumstances. The royal family needs ironclad evidence just to avoid damaging the reputation of the royal family. It does not mean that the royal family must need evidence to eliminate dissidents." The Queen was a little helpless and felt that she seemed to have educated Princess Anne too foolishly. A little sweeter: "Anne, you have to understand that you are now thinking about issues as the leader of the empire, not just a princess, a general, or a knight.
In some things, the royal family does The evidence needs to be conclusive and irrefutable, but at some point what we need is quick and decisive, which makes people speechless."
At this point, the Queen couldn't help but sigh: "Bran. Earl Delis is indeed very talented. He has already understood the essence of all this at such a young age. He is really formidable! If she were not too young and lacked prestige, she could definitely take over the position of Duke of Gloucester.
She is as talented in politics as she is in alchemy, although she may prefer to solve problems in a simple and crude way."
Hear what the Queen said to Purficott. Commenting, Princess Anne couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and asked with some disbelief: "Does Little Perfectcott really have this kind of ability? I don't think she is anything special in dealing with problems, right? Using such simple and crude methods , isn’t she worried about provoking a popular uprising and attracting more opponents?”
This is exactly what Princess Anne is worried about. She is worried that too drastic measures will cause unnecessary turmoil in public opinion and situation.
“Why don’t you understand?” The Queen was a little helpless. Princess Anne’s incomprehension made her sigh, and she had to break the whole thing apart and break it up to explain to her: "In peacetime, stability is the most important, because only peace and stability can bring prosperity.
Because of this, in peacetime we need to treat everything carefully to avoid causing irreversible consequences.
But in extraordinary times, it is just the opposite. As a decision-maker, you need decisiveness and determination. Even if you are not sure what the consequences will be, you must do it immediately. Make a decision.
Just like deciding the direction of attack in a war, any indecision will make you miss the opportunity.
The reason why Earl Brandlis forced you to make a decision is also a test for you, to test whether you have the determination and ability to shoulder the responsibility of leading the empire at this critical moment.
She even thoughtfully prepared the standard answer for you. Why do you think she wanted to mobilize the steam knight for today's incident? Show off your strength? No, that’s for you to see! Let me tell you that even if you mess up, she can still take care of it for you! "
Speaking of this, the Queen couldn't help but sigh again, shook her head and said: "Now it seems that you still have a lot of deficiencies in handling crisis events. You should mobilize the team immediately for this kind of thing. The Royal Guards Knights and the Guards used the most thunderous momentum to clear out all the opposition. This can not only deter potential opponents, but also prove to everyone that the royal family has the ability and determination to maintain the stability of the empire and to lead the people through this disaster.
This is the answer Earl Brandleth wants, and yet you have let her down twice, and if you had not had a close friendship with her mother, you would have I took good care of her in the past, but I'm afraid Earl Brandlis has given up supporting you now. ”
Hearing this, Princess Anne couldn't help but feel annoyed and regretted why she hadn't been more decisive.
Perfect is willing to sacrifice his reputation to save the empire, but as a royal, he behaves so irresponsibly. This makes Princess Anne, who calls herself a knight who protects the people, particularly surprised. of shame.
Seeing that Princess Anne seemed to have woken up, the Queen nodded happily.
Although it is a little late, it is not too late if you can understand it in time. It is not too late now.
But the Queen then asked Princess Anne: "So do you understand what to do now?"
"Let the Intelligence Bureau collect the arrest list, and then send out the Royal Guards Knights and Guards to arrest the people." Princess Anne thought for a while, and in addition to repeating the measures the Queen had said before, she also added some of her own opinions: " At the same time, we must send troops to blockade ports and roads, and do this with as much momentum as possible. Anyone who dares to resist during the arrest will be killed on the spot. After being caught, they will be directly charged with treason without any further punishment. Public trial and immediate execution."
After realizing this, Princess Anne finally showed her decisive side as a soldier and decided to deal with all this with the most drastic means she could think of.
However, the Queen still shook her head and added for her: "This is not enough, you have to directly confiscate all the property of these people."
"Confiscate their property?" Anne The eldest princess didn't quite understand why the opposition's property should be confiscated.
"Because the doomsday response plan requires a large amount of capital investment, it is not enough just to rely on Earl Brandlis selling his property and the little money you have raised before." The Queen couldn't help but reveal when she said this. A little sad: "As an orphan from a baron family, Count Brandless could have ignored all this. With her intelligence, she could be alone and live well in the apocalypse.
But because of your persuasion, she decided to help the empire, even though the empire had already failed her once.
The empire owes her a lot for this matter, so the royal family needs to spare no effort to support her! Because only in this way can the empire's survival be guaranteed. "
At this point, the expression on the Queen's face became very solemn. She solemnly said to Princess Anne: "My daughter, you must remember that Earl Brandlis is here. The key to ensuring the survival of the royal family and the continued existence of the Victoria Empire in this disaster! ”
