People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 1018 Treat People as Human Beings

The captain broke out in a cold sweat.

She didn't dare to make any extra movements, and could only say before Qi Yan continued to speak:

"Your Excellency has misunderstood. We will not do such a thing. The Dukes also hope that Victoria will be better. We just hope that there is a way to solve the current predicament."

"So what do you want to do?" Qi Yan still smiled.

The captain swallowed and said, "If possible, could you please go to Victoria and attend a meeting?"

"I understand. Kaster hopes to use my name to help Vina suppress all opposition voices in the country."

"That's it. We are all for Her Highness Vina and Victoria."

When the captain saw that Qi Yan understood his purpose, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She believed that with Qi Yan's extremely protective character, he would definitely not mind helping Vina.

Unfortunately, Qi Yan patted her shoulder again.

"Before the parliamentary system was implemented, Victoria had only one voice, the king. After it was implemented, Victoria still had only one voice, the speaker. In this case, wouldn't Vina have implemented the parliamentary system in vain?"

Qi Yan leaned over the captain's two cat ears, and his breath blew lightly on the captain's ears, making her feel a little itchy.

The two yellow cat ears bounced twice reflexively.

But the captain himself did not dare to make the slightest movement.

Qi Yan's voice came again: "Unfortunately, I will not help Vina. I will only be a sword hanging over the heads of the dukes. Whoever dares to jump will die."

"But Victoria..."

"Nothing but."

Qi Yan interrupted the captain calmly: "Madam, you said you are the Duke of Caister's man, you know your mission, then let me ask, do you know the mission that Vina is carrying out?"

"I...I don't understand."

"What Vina has to do is actually very simple. It only takes four words."

"Please explain clearly, Your Excellency."

“Treat people as human beings.”

"..."

The captain turned around blankly.

She saw the legendary figure behind her, who was still wearing a faint smile on his face.

There was no scrutiny, no overwhelming pressure, and everything she had just experienced seemed like she was just scaring herself.

"Victoria is now in a difficult situation, with the aftermath of war and the pain of transformation, a shortage of supplies, rampant diseases, and a broken morale."

Qi Yan slowly returned to his desk and sat down on the soft chair.

He picked up the juice on the table, drank it slowly, looked at the captain and said leisurely:

"Unlike fairy tales, people's cheers after victory in a war will not create a better life out of thin air. Unlike games, policy changes will not be smoothly implemented by simply changing a new card face.

Victoria is still Victoria. The dukes are high up, while the little people below are muddleheaded. If Vina was just pursuing power, what do you think she was struggling for some time? Didn't she just endure the hardship?"

The captain argued: “Although the Duke is in a high position, he is also just trying to make Victoria better.

The pressure on the Dukes is also heavy now. The hidden danger of the Duke of Wellington still exists. It is the joint checks and balances of the Dukes that prevent him from starting a new round of war. The Dukes are also working hard to bring peace to Victoria. "

Qi Yan put down the juice and said, "You misunderstood me. My focus is not on power, but on those under power, on you, and all Victorians like you."

"What...what do you mean?"

"You really should have a good talk with Beulah." Qi Yan smiled and shook his head, "But since you've come here, let me talk to you first."

The captain pursed his lips and waited for Qi Yan's instructions.

To her surprise, Qi Yan did not give a long speech, but just asked a simple question:

"Kaster asked you to come to me. Did she say anything about the risks you would take?"

The captain seemed a little hesitant.

She didn't know whether telling the truth would anger Qi Yan, but looking at Qi Yan's calm face, she chose to offer her trust.

"Your Excellency the Duke said... you won't punish me at will, but I have the responsibility to influence Victoria's future." The captain said at the end, with a lofty yearning on his face, "For Victoria, I am willing to go through fire and water, even if I die!"

"So Victoria's future is in my hands?"

"In a sense, yes."

"Forget it. I'm almost scared to death to be suddenly backstabbed by Amiya and have to take on the responsibility of saving Terra."

Qi Yan waved his hands in amusement: "Don't leave Victoria's future to me. Of course, don't leave it all to Vina, and certainly not to those dukes."

“Who should it be given to?”

"for you."

After hearing these words, the captain was so scared that he stood up from the sofa.

Qi Yan pressed his hand, signaling her to be patient:

“Don’t get excited, Victoria’s future is for you, but not just for you, but for millions of Victorians like you.

You traveled thousands of miles to find me because of a word from the Duke. Throughout history, how many Victorians have fanatically given up everything for a word from the Duke and the King.

But when people gathered around the king and the duke to sing their praises, who ever thought about whether those achievements were really created by the words of those in power?

"Victoria will reward all those who have made contributions to Victoria," the captain argued.

"Why do you want to create value for yourself and let it go around in circles to be rewarded by those in power?" Qi Yan sneered, "Do you really like to be taken advantage of by middlemen?"

team leader:"……"

"Madam, did I create this glass of juice out of thin air?" Qi Yan asked.

The captain shook his head slowly.

Qi Yan raised his head, picked up the juice and drank it all.

He wiped his mouth and smiled:

"Your mission is doomed to fail because I can't conjure up a large amount of supplies for Victoria, and neither can Vina or the Duke.

The only thing that can pull Victoria out of its current predicament is the people of Victoria. It is the workers who hammer out Londinium, it is the farmers who sow crops and harvest abundant harvests, and it is the countless ordinary people who make up Victoria.

Vina wanted you to stand up, but you kneeled down to beg me at the Duke's instruction?"

"I...I didn't kneel down."

"Do you think you're standing?"

"..."

"Madam, I am equally helpless in Victoria's current difficulties. I know the drawbacks of the parliamentary system. Its process is long and far less inspiring than a supreme voice leading people towards tomorrow."

Qi Yan casually wrote a line on his tribute list: "When the crown is worn on the head, if you want to take it off, you will find that it has taken root. When people kneel for a long time and want to stand up, their knees will hurt so much that they will feel weak all over.

In Victoria today, every minute and every second, someone falls in pain on the eve of the dawn, but please do not despair, just as you are willing to give everything for the Duke, why not try to give everything to the rising sun? "

"But what should we do?" The captain closed his eyes in pain, "Your words are inspiring, but as you said, you can't create a future where everyone can live a good life.

In today's Victoria, supplies are so scarce that even war heroes cannot get treatment. Vina's desire to save everyone with the parliamentary system is doomed to fail. We must make a choice."

"Open your eyes."

Qi Yan's voice sounded in front of the captain.

She subconsciously followed the instructions, opened her eyes, and saw a list being held up in front of her.

"This is?"

"Take back the list of tributes from the Terra United Association to me as its president, and have Vina and the dukes implement it."

team leader:"……"

Her mood was extremely complicated at the moment, and she was even a little angry at Qi Yan's behavior of taking advantage of the situation and cutting her own flesh with a knife.

But she didn't dare show any expression and took the list obediently and looked at it carefully.

"what?!"

After seeing the contents of the list, she could no longer suppress her anger and screamed, "Sir, do you want to force Victoria to recruit soldiers in her current situation?!

Are you going to ruin Victoria completely?"

Qi Yan was not surprised by her anger and said calmly:

“Didn’t you just say that the parliamentary system can’t save everyone and that trade-offs must be made?

Now you don't need to worry, because I have made the choice for you. Focus the supplies on the citizens who are rebuilding Victoria. I took these soldiers away. They will fight for the future of Terra, and Terra will provide them with operating supplies. "

"This……"

The captain was stunned on the spot, and then his breathing became increasingly rapid.

This method works!

If anyone else had done it, the dukes would definitely not agree.

But this man is Qi Yan, who holds high the banner of fighting for the future of Terra. No matter how angry the dukes are, they can only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

Without their army, the dukes would be like tigers with their teeth and claws pulled out, and their clamoring voices in parliament would inevitably become weak.

The captain had no idea that, under Qi Yan's influence, her position had unknowingly changed from Victoria in the Duke's mouth to the real Victoria.

Soon, the captain realized another problem:

"But... Your Excellency, if Victoria loses her military power, will she become a prey to others?"

"No, sister, are you kidding me?"

Qi Yan was really amused.

He pointed at himself and asked, "Who am I?"

"Qi Yan."

"Yes, this name is the answer."

Qi Yan showed a domineering crooked-mouthed dragon king smile: "Victoria is helping me, I want to see who dares to show his head. Although I can't make supplies out of thin air, I don't mind turning some countries into supplies just to make Bovina smile."

The captain's body shook violently.

Qi Yan restrained his aura and returned to his usual amiable state.

He waved his hand and said:

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back. Remember to tell Vina a message for me."

"You say."

"If you are tired, just go back to Rhodes Island and take a rest. Rhodes Island will always welcome you."
