Impressions of Lüders (6)
PS: Everyone, please support the vote!
Coup.
From a practical point of view, this is the only means that can achieve the cutting of the state and the V.E company, and at the same time minimize Charlemagne's losses.
Previously, because the plan was too rough and did not fully assess the possible consequences, and formulate corresponding countermeasures based on the results, Roland angrily refuted the actions of the resistance organization as worthless garbage, and now he calmed down and re-examined the overall situation, and Roland had to admit that the resistance group could not have a better choice.
V.E.'s monopoly in the economic sphere makes any protracted biting attack meaningless, and political activities are a money-burning game, and only those with brains in water would want to compete with V.E. companies, which print their own money, have banking and financial systems spread across the country, and have industries of the same size.
Besides, as far as Roland knew, Li Lin and the elves didn't like to procrastinate when dealing with this kind of thing. They don't have the experience of Charlemagne's politicians in using politics to fight against the country. When dealing with power struggles outside the organization, they will be incredibly efficient, simply choosing to physically eliminate their opponents completely, which is a little bloody, but indeed efficient.
Another factor that cannot be ignored is the vested interests at the top that are closely related to V.E. Many of the big aristocrats and bureaucrats in key departments had close economic ties with the company, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were in a symbiotic relationship. They invest in public projects operated and built by the company, give the company various conveniences, and share dividends from the project's profits every year. During the period of urban renewal, they bought a large amount of land in shantytowns and slums, and made a lot of money by speculating on housing prices. They speculate on stock exchanges, use so-called insider information to attract retail investors, and make a lot of money from derivatives trading.
This group of rich and oily guys is counting on Li Lin to launch a new money-making project, and they can't be expected to support a small group with little hope of winning. Not to mention strangling the goose that lays golden eggs in its hands.
Finally, and most importantly, Li Lin's strategy is driving the resistance to a dead end. If they don't do something, they won't have to do anything.
The position of the crown prince Louis was not precarious, and Li Lin had already realized that the young and vigorous crown prince would not be content to be a rubber stamp, a puppet doll that signed a document drawn up by the V.E company. During the Dauphin's military training in Lapland, Li Lin had several contacts with Bernard, the second prince born to Marie Antoinette, the favorite concubine of Charles IV. No one knew what they were talking about in the VIP box at the company's headquarters. After that, a good personal relationship was established, and V.E has been quietly supporting the second prince from then on.
First, the company's top management and public relations department intensively visited the close-knit bureaucratic aristocracy, and the restless Prince Bernard quickly gathered a group of ministers to form a new small group. V.E provided a lot of public opinion and monetary assistance to this small fledgling group. The corrupt ministers who were linked together began to build momentum for the second prince, and the ambitious princess also blew the pillow wind on Charles IV. For a time, [the wise second prince is more suitable for the throne] became almost the only voice in the court.
Prince Bernard is not a man of good name, on the contrary, he has a bad reputation.
He had a mother who was hated and cursed by the people, and during the famine ten years ago, Richelieu reported to Charles IV: "The hungry people have no bread to eat!" and the princess interjected with an innocent smile: "Then they can eat cake." "The angry guards on the side stabbed the matter into the streets and alleys, almost causing a civil uprising.
The character of the princess herself is like this. The doted, arrogant prince is no less a notorious fool, a scoundrel, a junkie. His favorite thing is to drink heavily after being injected with [Speed], to play with the cat, rabbit, and cow girls he bought from the United Principality of Rus', and every month a carriage will sneak out of the royal city to steal the broken corpses.
All along, this ridiculous prince has not shown any outrageous ambitions, and is enthusiastic about doping and interracial girls, even though it is unbearable. At best, it won't make people worry about the chaos of the battle for the throne, but now after being pushed from behind by Li Lin, things are completely different.
Although the Dauphin Louis was still very much loved and was supported by the army and many courtiers, he was in an advantageous position. But with the support of the monopoly plutocracy and the conservative bureaucratic aristocracy, Prince Bernard may become a dark horse.
Dazzling, mysterious, suspenseful and exciting.
For Li Lin, this is enough.
It doesn't matter if the second prince wins or loses, it is gratifying to win and congratulate, but losing is just one less chess piece. If you can, it's not bad to have a civil war.
As long as the crown prince and the country are attracted by the political struggle, and there is no time for him to fully buy Yalfheim valuable time for military preparations, His Highness Bernard will complete the task.
In a state where preparations for a military showdown are nearing completion, it does not matter who Charlemagne's king is and what position he holds on the V.E company, the result is the same anyway.
Under these constraints, the only choice available to the rebels is extraordinary means. But—
Turning over, his face turned to the wall inside, and in the darkness beyond the reach of the sparse starlight, Roland gripped the hilt of Direndal's sword.
Stasi's Bloodthirsty Killer;
Alfheim's defense forces, which could take half of Charlemagne's territory in a day and night;
Although the number is small, it has an unusually high combat effectiveness;
All this alone is enough to crush a rebellion, not to mention that there is still a person who controls these forces and overrides them - Li Lin.
As long as he is on the battlefield in person, even if it is hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of combat power gaps, it will disappear without a trace in an instant, and in front of this transcendent species that acts as the mother god's will, it is not difficult to wipe out the human race, a species of wisdom, from the world.
Siegfried Otto Lelin, the one who acts on behalf of the Mother Goddess, is a powerful force that borders on the absurd.
"I'm so annoyed, why am I getting involved in such a troublesome matter!"
A complaint welled up in his chest as if he were a stranger, and his hand grabbed the blanket and twisted the silk into a ball.
"Are you bothered?"
A clear and bright bass came from the upper bunk, so calm that it almost made Roland forget that the upper bunk was a female couch, and the murmur continued:
Roland ...... You have a deep relationship with the top management of V.E. ”
With a soft "um", Roland turned his face back to the top bunk.
It is impossible for a person with a relationship to be so well taken care of, let alone to make such an in-depth analysis at lunch.
Taking a deep breath, Gloria spoke out the doubts she was holding in her heart:
"Roland, you...... Who is it?" (To be continued.) )
