Chapter 347 Declaration of War
As soon as Jilan got out of the car, he was surrounded by a group of people.
These people were wearing dark gray suits and no hats. Judging from the demeanor of their movements, they are not like ordinary people. At least they have super-limited physical fitness and are well-trained.
"Mr. Gillan Iros, we are the Sifang Palace security force, responsible for maintaining order on the scene."
The first middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes bowed and bowed his head respectfully. .
Immediately, he raised his hand to guide the Sifang palace.
"Please come with me."
As he said that, he led the way inside.
Besides him were a group of female soldiers also wearing gray suits. They all looked beautiful, but their expressions were cold and serious.
Even more peripherally, there was a group of specially invited reporters, including men and women, and even many from other countries.
These reporters, with their admission passes, work badges and black box cameras hanging on their chests, were pressing the shutter towards Gillan.
Crack, click, click!
In an instant, white light flashed.
Gilan was calm and composed about this.
He held his hat in one hand and his cane in the other, and walked in with a calm face.
The crowd moved out of the way and was escorted by the security forces. Ji Lan walked all the way and successfully arrived at the depths of the Sifang Palace that he had never been to before -
A magnificent and bright conference hall.
It is said that when foreign guests from various countries come, the senior officials of the empire will receive them in this conference hall. Important decisions will also be announced here.
As soon as Jilan entered the door, he was greeted by six or seven senior department officials who had been waiting inside for a long time.
There were two people at the head, both men in their fifties and sixties. One of the short, unsmiling men whom Gillan had seen before was none other than the Minister of Logistics, Muhsin.
‘Minister Mohsin is a high-level member of the “Crow Faction” and can be regarded as a confidant of Teacher Parra. He is here to welcome him, most likely because of the teacher’s intention. ’
Thoughts flashed through Jilan’s mind.
So he said hello politely.
The other party adjusted his round-rimmed glasses, responded to Gilan with a friendly smile, and then introduced a few people around him to him:
"Mr. Gilan, this is the diplomat. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Jane Pruitt. These are also heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs..."
"Hello, Minister Janey."
Gillen stretched out his hand.
Janni, with her short three-quarter hair, looks a bit older, and her face is full of wrinkles when she smiles.
He quickly stretched out his hands and held Gilan's hand with respect.
"Hello, Mr. Gillan. I have heard your name for a long time, and now I can finally meet you... From now on, please pay more attention to the many matters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Jenny's tone was very humble.
He is obviously nearly two rounds older than Gilan, and their positions are almost the same, one is minister and the other is executive minister.
But Janney was not a fool. After he heard the news, he spent several nights looking through Gilan's files and was shocked by the other party's terrifying resume. He knew very well the abilities of the young man in front of him. .
At the same time, he also understood that Paracelsus pushed him to this position against all opinions, and there must be deep meaning. If he offended him rashly, he would definitely not end well!
What's more, Gilan Yilos' appointment was approved by the head of state.
Many details indicate the fact...
This young man, who is only twenty years old, is definitely not simple!
"You're welcome, Minister Janey." Gillan showed a flawless smile and his tone was impeccable.
He shook hands with the other heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and exchanged greetings one by one. These middle-aged men and women all looked flattered and cautiously shook hands and talked and laughed with them.
Jilan even felt a little cold sweat from their palms... He couldn't help but wonder, why were these people so nervous when facing him?
He's not some kind of devil.
Soon, accompanied by everyone, Gilan walked from the red carpet aisle to the high platform of the conference hall.
The seats on the left and right sides were all full of people, and they all looked at Jilan.
There are kind eyes, there are indifferent eyes, there are curiosity and scrutiny.
Muhsin was beside him and informed him in a low voice. Most of those who came to attend the inauguration ceremony were members of the House of Lords, including representatives from all walks of life, as well as senior officials and heads of various departments in the empire.
Almost half of the official core figures of the empire have arrived.
Jilan nodded silently to express understanding.
When they reached the side of the high platform, Mohsin and others apologized, then left and sat down to watch the ceremony.
Gilan walked onto the stage under the guidance of two female staff members.
Hundreds of spotlights illuminated the high platform brightly. Propaganda Minister Stavin personally presided over the ceremony, with a serious face and an impassioned tone, stating the many changes and developments in the empire in recent years.
Ji Lan stood upright on the stage, and at a glance he saw a sinister middle-aged man with a hooked nose sitting in the center of the first row.
‘Head of the Empire, Caesar Geed! ’
Jilan’s expression tightened.
He knew that it was the head of state's cover-up.
Noticing his gaze, the hook-nosed middle-aged man looked at him, smiled and nodded.
On his left and right are Pala Celsus and Carl Rhaegar.
A further row to the left are the ministers of various departments. In the row on the right are general-level officers headed by Commander-in-Chief of the Military Reach Mesa.
Staven, who was speaking happily, became emotional and spittle flew everywhere. But when he glanced at it, he suddenly noticed that the white-haired old man on the left side of the head of state in the audience gave him a dull look.
In an instant, his heart trembled, and then he realized that he had spoken too long. So, Stavin quickly changed his words:
"...Everyone, the past has become history, and the future is still a mystery. We should focus on the present, because only the present can change the future."
"The position of Executive Minister of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Ministry has been vacant for a long time. In the House of Lords, After discussions with senior officials of various departments, it was unanimously decided that the former leader of the investigation committee, Mr. Guillain Iros, would serve in this position to add new vitality to the future of the empire..."
Following that, Sta Wen took the national flag with an "X" on a black background and white stripes held by two female staff members and handed it to Gilan.
Immediately, shake hands with Gillan.
Crack, click, click!
Under the stage, dozens of specially invited reporters clicked the shutter repeatedly, and the white light flashed continuously.
After doing this, Stavin quickly stepped down from the stage, leaving the stage to the newly appointed executive minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Gilan held the flag of the Bremen Empire and walked slowly to the podium.
When the noisy sounds around him gradually quieted down, the eyes of everyone present were focused on him, full of surprise and scrutiny.
Just because the blond young man on the stage looks too young... This is the first time in the history of the empire that such a young foreign minister has been appointed.
"Thank you to the empire for trusting me and allowing me to serve as the executive minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For this reason, I will do my best to fulfill my duties."
Gillen said calmly into the disc microphone .
His tone was calm, but it contained a chilling temperament that was inappropriate for his age.
“272 years ago, the Bremen Empire was established on the bones and blood of countless Hiru people, in order to create a pure land of peace, tranquility and prosperity.”
“After 200 years With the baptism of the emperor, the empire finally became one of the three major powers in the mainland, but it also attracted the covetousness and hostility of the Eastern Federation. ”
"40 years ago, the Federation launched an aggressive war without authorization, attacked the empire, occupied Bosvia, an important northern trading capital, and used it as a bridgehead and colony to exploit and enslave the Hiru people wantonly..."
"15 Years ago, Chief Caesar led the imperial army to counterattack and successfully recaptured Bosiva, avenging their shame. However, the Federation regarded our just actions as plunder and plundered their belongings... This is the most ridiculous thing in the world. The joke is confusing right and wrong."
"Six months ago, on July 21, 1926, the Federation unilaterally tore up the treaty and attacked 18 steel-walled forts across the eastern border in the Kawo Prefecture Forest Area. The city was bombed indiscriminately. Nearly 100,000 people were killed, countless families were ruined, and the empire suffered heavy losses."
"A week ago, on New Year's Eve, December 31, the Federation launched an attack on Posivi. Ya dropped a super large bomb, directly razing the city of faith that symbolized the history and honor of our empire. Countless Hiru people were turned into ashes in an instant. Such inhumane actions are trampling on us. He treats us as weaklings who can be bullied at will..."
Gilan's voice was not loud and his tone was calm, but it seemed to contain a kind of magic power, like a spark, which gradually ignited everyone present. The fire in my heart.
At this moment.
In the conference hall, Gilan's speech was transmitted to various parts of the empire in real time in the form of radio broadcast through the terminal radio equipment.
Outside the Sifang Palace, thousands of Muses gathered, listening seriously to the voice of the young man's speech coming from the loudspeaker on the high wall.
The sound of the radio echoed, arousing the anger of the crowd, making them clenched their fists.
The nobles in the manor, the middle-class families in the apartments, the ordinary residents in the townhouses, and the conference rooms of various departments, countless radios are playing the speeches at the same time...
< br>
Everyone was silent.
Their chests were holding a breath, as if they were about to explode at any moment. A pair of eyes showed anger, anger towards the despicable invaders.
On the radio, the broadcast continued:
"...the Owenna Federation prides itself on being a state of art, advocating creativity, praising obedience, and emphasizing elegance and uniqueness. Is it possible that they have committed atrocities against us? Is it elegance? Mass murder is creation? "
"No, not at all"
"They are just a group of shameless executioners!"
At this moment, in a rental apartment in Simius, a girl of fifteen or sixteen jumped up from her chair and shouted excitedly:
"Well said! Brother Jilan!"
Milinda held her pink fist, her face full of admiration.
The three brothers and sisters of the Farhan family, as well as their mother, Mrs. Xenia, were all sitting at the table attentively, listening to the speech on the radio.
"I really didn't expect that Brother Gilan would actually serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs..."
Nancy had a look of emotion on her face, and her beautiful eyes were also flashing with deep reverence.
“Yes.” Qiao An sighed.
He turned to look at his mother, only to find that her expression was complicated and she was in a daze.
At this time, Milinda rolled her watery eyes and said with a smile:
"Hmph, if Artimi and the others knew that the big shot giving a speech was my brother, their expressions would definitely be very exciting... Yesterday, she even showed off to me that her cousin is working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a team leader."
"Milinda! Don't cause trouble for brother!"
Nancy suddenly frowned and scolded seriously.
"Be quiet and continue listening to the radio."
"I know, why are you so fierce..."
Milinda pouted and sat down again.
Just listen to the calm voice of the young man continuing to come from the radio:
“Within the federal territory, a large number of crazy politicians are collaborating with incompetent powerful people, colluding with militants and those who want to make war fortune. Arms dealers wantonly stir up public sentiment and weave dreams of annexing the Bremen Empire to realize their ambitions of exploiting the world."
"But they will never succeed."
" In the name of the Executive Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Bremen Empire, Gillan Illos, I assure everyone in the Empire that I am calm and confident about our future. ”
"The descendants of Hiru are not afraid of intimidation and challenges at any time, and the honor of the Empire will always accompany their warriors, until the Owena Federation fully bears our wrath——"
"Through this, I will On behalf of the head of state, Caesar Geed, we formally declare war on the Owena Federation!”
“This war will continue until the death!”
At this moment, the empire was in an uproar——
