Chapter 1099: Summoning the Ministers
Later, Marshal Otto called the butler and instructed him to take Wu Lai and his party to rest. Wu Lai and his entourage came from afar, and after a long journey, they were also a little tired and needed to rest for a while. In addition, Marshal Otto instructed the butler to prepare a dinner for everyone. A large welcome dinner was supposed to be held to welcome Wu Lai's arrival. However, Wu Lai and his entourage came in a hurry, and the dinner was not fully prepared, so the welcome dinner was postponed for tomorrow night.
After the dinner, Wu Lai summoned Marshal Otto and the ministers of the Executive Yuan in the palace chamber.
After all these core leaders of the Doomsday Empire arrived, Wu Lai spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are all important ministers of my Doomsday Empire, and you are summoned here this time to discuss important matters. ”
Everyone said in unison: "Please command." However, many ministers were puzzled, because it had been stipulated at the beginning of the establishment of the Doomsday Empire that the emperor was only a symbol of the empire and could not interfere with the actions of the government, unless the country was in an extraordinary period. I don't know what this emperor is going to do?
Of course, more ministers thought that His Majesty the Emperor just wanted to get to know them, and he was familiar with them, after all, he was new to the city, and he always had to know these important ministers of the empire.
Wu Lai continued: "Originally, the Emperor was not supposed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Empire, but now that the Empire is in a critical situation, the Emperor has to summon everyone to come and discuss. ”
Hearing Wu Lai say that the empire was in a critical moment of survival, except for Marshal Otto, everyone's faces changed greatly.
How can the empire be said to be at a critical moment of survival? Isn't this alarmist? Could it be that this emperor wants to take back his power and adopt a dictatorship? If so, let him be a dictator, why say such a thing? Isn't this an attempt to cover up?
"Your Majesty, now that my apocalyptic empire is peaceful and peaceful, and all undertakings are thriving, how can I say that I am at a critical moment of survival?" it was Paltrow, the head of the Organization Department, who spoke.
Wu Lai smiled slightly and said, "Let's ask Chief Archon Lord Otto to introduce the current situation." ”
All eyes were then turned to Marshal Otto.
I saw Marshal Otto say with a stern expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone knows what happened at the Harlem spaceport this afternoon. ”
"Yes, I heard that His Majesty had encountered assassins, who suddenly turned from humans into winged monsters, but then suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. ”
"That's right, I was there at the time, and I saw it very clearly, it was monsters, they were originally human, and suddenly they became monsters, with sharp claws, hideous faces, and extremely terrifying looks. ”
"Their claws are very sharp, and it is estimated that if they catch them, they will lose half their lives if they don't die. ”
"By the way, Lord Otto, didn't you say that it was a joke? It was made by high-tech means, especially to welcome His Majesty the Emperor and liven up the atmosphere, but why didn't we know anything about it beforehand?"
"Even we keep it a secret, Lord Otto, you don't trust us!"
"Yes, Lord Otto, you've done a good job of secrecy, haven't you?"
All the ministers chattered and began to talk to me.
Marshal Otto coughed lightly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. ”
The ministers immediately fell silent. Marshal Otto's face they must have to give, otherwise where is the authority of the chief consul of the empire?
Looking at everyone, Marshal Otto smiled bitterly and said, "My lords, do you believe that is a joke?"
Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads. Truth be told, they don't believe it. Can you just make that kind of joke?
But if it's not a joke, is it true? Did His Majesty really encounter the Assassins? But why did those Assassins suddenly stand still and then mysteriously disappear?
None of the ministers dared to imagine it. They hope it's not true, they really hope it's just a joke.
I heard Marshal Otto continue: "If it were someone else, we might still be able to make such jokes, but we are welcoming the great Emperor of Doomsday, can we make such jokes? If we make such jokes about His Majesty, it will be a blasphemy against our great Doomsday Empire, because His Majesty is a symbol of the Doomsday Empire, and no jokes are allowed. ”
The Minister of Security, Philia, asked in surprise, "Not a joke, that is?"
Marshal Otto nodded, "That's a good question." This is certainly true. ”
Seeing that Marshal Otto's expression did not seem to be fake, everyone was taken aback: "What, someone really wants to assassinate His Majesty?" It seems that they really guessed it, and His Majesty really encountered an assassin. It's just that there are too many questions in their minds.
"What kind of person, so bold?"
"The courage is too big, and it's too arrogant, if you dare to assassinate Your Majesty, you must strictly investigate!"
"I'm so impatient to live, dare to assassinate His Majesty! There must be a master behind the assassins, we must find out and break them into pieces!"
"Yes, find out the mastermind and punish it severely!"
"These dangerous elements who seek to disadvantage His Majesty must not be tolerated. ”
......
These imperial ministers are worthy of first-class politicians, and they naturally have something to say at this time. What determination, what indignation, then it must be expressed, because now is facing the Doomsday Emperor. Even if the Doomsday Emperor can't interfere in internal affairs, he holds military power, and the Doomsday Fleet has tens of thousands of starships there, which is an incomparably powerful force. The ministers all understood that only military power is real power, and everything else is a floating cloud. Marshal Otto was rightfully appointed Chief Consul precisely because of his military power. With military power, wouldn't it be easy for the Doomsday Emperor to take control of the empire and carry out dictatorship?
Wu Lai quietly looked at these excited ministers, his face was light. It looks like an outsider. These ministers did not express their determination or indignation, as if they had nothing to do with Wu Lai.
Marshal Otto pressed his hands down and made a stop gesture, and everyone stopped and looked at him quietly.
I only heard Marshal Otto sigh: "I have ascertained the truth of the matter, and I also know who the mastermind is." ”
The ministers asked, "Lord Otto, what is going on?"
"Who is the mastermind? What is he going to do? Why did he assassinate His Majesty?"
Marshal Otto did not answer, but asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if you have heard of the Zerg?"
"Zerg, what's that?" the ministers shook their heads, they had heard the name for the first time.
