Chapter 272: Turbid Situation

"Damn it!"

The crystal clear wine glass was ruthlessly thrown to the ground, and with the sound of shattering, the expensive crystal glass was smashed to pieces. Looking at the letter in front of him, Green's fat old face was already bloodless, and the fat on that face was trembling uncontrollably, looking like a pig about to be slaughtered. It's no wonder that he was so angry, the election that had tormented the Land of Light for nearly a year finally came to an end, and according to the final election results, he ——— Greenwalker lost to Nakvande with 40% support, and finally lost!

Damn, that bastard is just less than five percent more than me! Why will you lose? Clenched into fists, Greenwalker couldn't accept the result. He had been preparing for this for so long, but he didn't expect it to fall short in the end. Damn, how is he going to account for his constituents? How to account to the Manny Consortium? And the group of guys in the military department are not fuel-efficient lamps, if it goes on like this, then they will never have a bright future. Nackvande is not a good guy, he must think of a way, he must think of a way, is it really not a problem at all?

Thinking of this, Greenwalker couldn't help but become more and more irritable, it had been nearly two months since the election was over and Nakvand officially accepted the appointment, during this time he was meddling in his cronies and subordinates in various fields, and there was still time for a counterattack, and once he put his hand into the Legislative Yuan and the House of Commons, it would be even more difficult to pry this guy again. Is there really no way to do it now? Damn, my own group of rice bucket subordinates, are they raising them for the dogs?

"Master Green!!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted Greenwalker's irritable thoughts, and he raised his head with a frown, and looked dissatisfiedly at his cronies at the door.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so flustered? ”

"Lord Green. The results of what you asked to investigate are already there! ”

"Oh? Hurry up and show it to me! ”

Hearing this, Greenwalk's originally dim eyes immediately brightened, and he stood up, and his fat and huge body even trembled because of this. Even the desk next to him was almost overturned, but Greenwalker didn't care about it at all, on the contrary. He eagerly reached out and took the information from his cronies. During the election period, in order to find the weaknesses of his political opponents, Greenwalker made a lot of efforts, but he never got any results. Even he himself was already a little desperate, what kind of person Nackvand was, Greenwalker knew better than anyone else. It was not easy to find any weaknesses in him to attack, especially after the search was fruitless, and Greenwalker had given up on this idea. But I didn't think of it. But fate extended a hand of hope to him when he was in the most difficult time.

"It's ............ This is............ Haha!!ha That's great! That's great!! ”

Looking at the information in his hand, Greenwalker couldn't help but laugh, great, sure enough, just like he thought, as long as he digs, there is absolutely no problem that he can't dig out. Once this incident broke out. Even if that guy has already won the election, he won't want to become the new president of the Council of Light!

"Leave this to Kean. Let him immediately go to General Fabien of the Military Coordination Headquarters, hahaha, I didn't expect this bastard Nakvand to make such a mistake, this time, he has absolutely no room to turn over! ”

Thinking of this, Greenwalker couldn't help but feel excited. Previously, he had already connected with the military department through his own connections and persuaded them to give him some support. It's no wonder that the idiot who called Nakvand actually said in broad daylight that he would cut military spending and improve people's livelihood in order to get a choice. Naturally, this made the military very dissatisfied. Originally, I just got a verbal promise from the other party, and in this way, then there is a way to get the substantial support of the army! As long as I have the support of the army, plus these things in my hands, then are you afraid that this guy Nackfan will make some waves?!

"Hurry up, prepare the carriage, I want to go to the Legislative Yuan immediately!"

The Sanctuary of Light was as quiet as ever, and from the window, you could clearly see the bright and dazzling lights of Casablanca below, even though it was late at night. No matter how you look at it, it is an incomparable bustling city, but in Sonya's eyes, the prosperity on the surface cannot hide the darkness and ugliness below.

"Yes......... It's been delivered..............."

Looking at the white letter in her hand, Sonia curled the corners of her mouth and showed a strange smile. After getting the master's order before, Sonia has been working hard for it. It can be said that it can be called lucky, this time his family is on the opposite side of Nackvand. As a member of the family, it is also the need of the situation to do this by yourself, whether it is the family or yourself, you need a more effective and obedient leader at this moment. And not some hard-liner guy, I'm sorry, Lord Nackvand, this time, whether it's for my master's sake, or for the family's sake......... I'm afraid you don't have a good life.

But......... What will happen to Your Majesty?

Thinking of this, Sonia withdrew her gaze and turned to walk into the room. At this moment, Lillian was lying on the soft big bed, holding the bear doll in her hand, looking at herself with wide eyes and intent. Seeing Lilian's appearance, Sonia couldn't help but smile a little, she reached out and gently stroked Lilian's head, and then sighed softly. Sometimes, she is still really envious of Lilian, puppets also have the advantage of being a puppet, once politics is involved, it is almost impossible to get out again. And to live like Lillian, to some extent, is also my own wish. You don't need to worry about the intrigues of political transactions, you just live your life calmly and securely, without any worries............

"Sonia, is the matter over?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's not a big deal, it's just a small trouble, and there's nothing for you to worry about."

"That's right........."

Hear here. Lilian's little face was a little confused. Soon, however, she shook her head vigorously again, and then lay back on the bed.

"So, Sonia tell me another story, just the one that didn't finish yesterday."

"Of course there is no problem, Your Majesty.

Look at Lilian's expectant expression. Sonia smiled softly, and then she reached out and opened the book beside her.

As always, a quiet night.

However, as the sun rises and a new day arrives, Casablanca is once again in the midst of hustle and bustle. This time, though, a shocking piece of news spread throughout Casablanca——— just yesterday evening, Congressman Greenwalker went to the Legislature. Question the legitimacy of the President of the Council of Light, Nackvand! Not only that, but he also presented quite strong evidence that during the election period, a considerable part of Nakvand's election funds came from outside the Land of Light! After careful inspection, it was found that there were problems not only in the source of the election funds, but also in the ballot papers. After examination, it was found that the ballot papers in two constituencies did not match the actual number. And that's just part of the story! In addition, there are some problems that have gradually been dug in, manipulating votes, and there are even rumors that are quite unfavorable to Nakvande in some places!

For these reasons, Greenwalker asked the Legislature to summon Nackvande immediately and ask him to explain the matter. And that's not all. It is also necessary to re-investigate the source of that part of the money to see if there are any problems. As soon as this incident came out, the Land of Light, which had been stopped by the election with great difficulty, was once again involved in a new turmoil after less than two months of calm.

Questions for Greenwalk and the Legislative Yuan. Nakvande was very calm, saying that there was no problem with his election funding. The reason why the money came from the country of light before was simply because his supporters were in the country of light at that time, as for the votes, he said that there might be some mistakes, but that definitely did not affect the overall situation............... However, it's not that simple.

After taking over as president of parliament, Nakvand's drastic reforms have already moved the interests of many consortia and the military, not only cutting military spending to increase spending on people's livelihood, but even raising taxes and reintegrating some important industries. This touched quite a chain of interests, and now, with the outbreak of this chain of events, a new cloud once again hangs over the city of Casablanca......... And this time, things are not so easy to solve.

"Lord Nackfande."

Hearing someone call his name, Nakvand raised his head and squinted his eyes at the cronies around him, even if he was in the middle of a whirlpool, and was regarded by many as "traitors who sold their country for money". At this moment, he is still as serious and calm as ever. On the contrary, his cronies' faces were very pale, and seeing him in such a panicked manner made Nackvand frown a little dissatisfied.

"What's wrong? What happened? Is it the Legislative Yuan and the House of Commons that are looking for trouble again? ”

Although it is true that there is considerable skepticism, so far, in the absence of too strong and direct evidence, Nackvand has been able to exercise his duties as president of parliament. It's just that the resistance is much greater now than before, almost every proposal is opposed by people, and it takes days of "research" to reach a conclusion, and even then, the conclusion is not necessarily the result you want. But even in such a hostile environment, Nackvand was as calm as ever, as if the stormy president of the council was not himself at all.

"No, this ......... ............... outside"

"Outside? Are those who are protesting again? Leave them alone, how many times have I said that? After a while, things will naturally calm down, won't they? ”

"No, my lord, it's outside......... There were a lot of soldiers gathered in Freedom Square! They are all veterans of the army, and now these veterans are gathering in the square to demonstrate! ”

"What's going on!?"

Hearing this, Nackvand's face finally changed, and he stood up and looked at his cronies. The sharp, substance-like eyes pierced his cronies in an instant.

"Tell me the details right away!!"

"Yes, yes, sir!"

Facing Nakvand's incomparably sharp gaze, his cronies immediately sweated like rain, and then he reported the detailed reason for all this to Nakvand. It turned out that the cause of the matter. It also goes back to after the end of the battle between the Night Kingdom and the Light Country——— although the Night Country did stop attacking on the surface, the Light Country did not win the battle. Not only that, but under the invasion of the Night Country, the army of the Land of Light also suffered heavy casualties. The families of the deceased need pensions, and those soldiers who have been discharged from the army for various reasons naturally need a certain amount of relief to get by. After all, they were all killed by the attack of the Night Nation. He survived without an arm or leg. Physically handicapped, they are unable to look for work like ordinary people, and can only rely on welfare payments to survive.

However, the so-called blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. Not only did the Land of Light lose the war, but because Lydia's "Offering Gold" after that was directly taken by Lillian, the desperate Council of Light itself was already in debt, and in the end they had to accept funding from the five major consortia to barely get through. In such a situation, the Council of Light itself cannot protect itself, let alone the relief funds for veterans. With the old Speaker of Parliament stepping down at that time, new elections are under way. So the Council of Light chose to delay on this issue——— to put it bluntly, they gave the veterans a white slip, and now the Council of Light has no money, and when they have the money, they will exchange the white slips in their hands and distribute the compensation to these veterans.

Although the Land of Light has problems of one kind or another, as a soldier, he is naturally loyal to the country. These veterans had no idea that the Council of Light would deceive themselves, but the truth was completely in a direction they hadn't expected——— they had thought that after the new Council of Light President took office. When it stabilizes, his money will still be more or less settled. But I didn't expect Nackvand to be after taking office. In the name of people's livelihood, a considerable part of military spending has been cut, and this trouble will come. Although the cut money was used to serve the public, unfortunately, this group of veterans themselves did not belong to the category of "public", that is, in the reduced military spending. Their benefits are also included!

Coupled with the fact that the originally stable political situation during this period of time has changed again, this time, the group of veterans can no longer sit still. Originally, their lives were already very difficult, and they were counting on being able to receive this money and spend the rest of their lives in peace. But now, I don't know when this money will be in my hands. This immediately made the veterans uneasy. It is precisely because of this that they began to come to Freedom Square spontaneously, hoping that the government would deliver on their promises, and they had no way out. If you don't get this money, I'm afraid that many people will not die on the battlefield with the undead, but will starve to death here!

Sitting in the carriage and looking out at the noisy Liberty Square, Sonia smiled triumphantly and curled the corners of her mouth. At this moment, Freedom Square is full of ragged veterans, wearing tattered military uniforms, holding old weapons, holding flags and signboards and looking at the tall buildings in front of them. They numbered in the thousands, and from time to time they could be seen joined by groups of similarly dressed soldiers, carrying tattered flags. The square, which had been clean and tidy, was already a mess, with only tents and fires except for the ragged soldiers. In the distance, the guards nervously held their weapons, watching the crowd that was gathering as they gathered. There is no way for them not to be nervous, in any case, these are not ordinary citizens, but veterans with rich combat experience, they not only hold weapons, but also have rich combat experience, although their bodies are crippled, but if they are not a threat because of this, then they are real fools!

"The script is done, the actors are in place, the stage is ready, just waiting for the moment when the curtain will be pulled. Everything was as the owner had expected. I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly smooth, no......... It should be said that the power of these people is the root of such a smooth process. ”

Muttering softly to herself, Sonia smiled and raised an eyebrow. Although it is indeed himself who is behind this whole thing, the so-called slap does not make a sound. If it weren't for the vigorous operation of those people, I am afraid that these veterans would not have been able to rely on their own strength to come here and successfully gather in Liberty Square. Sonia knows very well that behind this incident, there is an unmistakable shadow of the military department. They are using this to put pressure on Nakfand, after all, the military department that has been cut in military spending is the biggest victim of Nakfand's so-called "reform". Judging from this situation, I'm afraid that the army will not be able to attack this time. Now the situation is getting more and more serious.

Thinking of this, Sonia narrowed her eyes and tapped her finger lightly, then she withdrew her gaze and looked ahead again. It seems that the commotion in front of him has nothing to do with him.

"Alright, don't stop here, we have important things to do."

"Yes, sir."

With the sound of the whip, the carriage, which had been stopped, slowly moved forward again, and Sonia closed her eyes and lay back quietly on the seat of the carriage.

So, are you ready to accept this great gift from the master? Lord Nackvand? (To be continued......)
