Cosma Empire

In the evening, after get off work, Kubal came to Magus' manor again. He felt terrible during this time, and he needed to talk to Magus.

During Magus's tenure as Prime Minister of the Empire, Kubal has been trying to figure out what is behind each of his decrees, and is also observing his methods and ideas of governing.

This is not to say that Kubal is a fool. A person who can be the leader of the old party, especially when almost all of his subordinates are aristocratic groups who are proficient in internal fighting, his political combat effectiveness is also very strong.

It's just that he has never, as the supreme power exerciser of a country, decided something related to the fate of the entire empire, so he needs to learn and keep learning.

In the years before he was Prime Minister, power was like a girl who wanted to please Muggs in every possible way, and it was at his disposal.

Without anger in every move, he easily pushed the empire from the overturned state to the interstate highway and drove all the way.

But, why is it so troublesome and difficult no matter what you do when it is in your hands?

He needs someone to help him, and Magus is obviously the most suitable candidate.

There is no surprise about Kubal's visit to Magus, as long as this guy is free, he will come.

Why Kubal came here, in fact, he also knew it well, but he didn't tell the truth, even if he said it, it wouldn't make much sense.

As a prime minister who almost single-handedly changed the fate of the empire, Magus still has a very unique perspective on issues, which is what Kubal needs.

As soon as Kubal came, the two of them went into the study, and they didn't even eat dinner except for some tea brought in by the housekeeper.

"I've had some newspapers and magazines shut down, but the problem hasn't improved. Instead, it's more troublesome than before." Kubal lit a cigarette with a worried expression on his face.

Du Lin's assassination case was originally just a trivial matter in his eyes, and it was impossible to rise to the national level, but the fact quickly slapped him, making him a little confused.

Three member states already confirmed in ifto temporarily announced their withdrawal from the ifto meeting, and proposed the idea of ​​withdrawing from ifto, and some member states said that the meeting should be postponed.

The reason why they made such a decision was actually some news related to Du Lin's assassination that began to circulate in the empire and other countries.

In these news, the Empire is described as an evil and terrible country, and extreme racism and religious persecution have become two new labels of the Shining Star Empire.

Although many people know that these news are fake and fictitious, they cannot let everyone clearly understand the truth.

A large number of people are convinced of these reports, and some countries have held demonstrations for this, demanding that the leaders of their countries withdraw from the evil organization Ifto.

Kubal has no way to shut up foreign news publishing companies, but for some domestic newspapers, he has sent people from the Security Committee to seal them up, and the main persons in charge have been arrested and brought to justice.

But new problems appeared again, because he arrested these people, sealed up these newspapers and media, and made more people wonder whether the empire had done the terrible things in the report.

If someone doubts it, there will be a seller's market, and all kinds of inexplicable and even ridiculous "truths" will appear in society, and there will be an increasingly rampant posture.

All kinds of rumors spread throughout the empire. They have already arrested some active social activists, but they can't stop the current situation.

The only consolation is that they know that behind all this, someone planned it, not spontaneously.

After thinking for a moment in his mind, Magus shook his head and said: "This is not the most appropriate time. It would be more appropriate if it was earlier or later, but it is definitely not now!"

He was referring to Kubal's hunt for those rumormongers, including the seizure of some newspapers and media, and the arrest of the heads of these companies.

These things should be taken decisively at the initial stage of the matter to prevent the spread of rumors, and it can also prevent the situation from further festering.

Or at the end when everything is heating up, a thunderous blow, cleanly sweeping away all the noise, can also make people shut their mouths because of shock and fear.

As a result, Kubal chose the worst time to do it. Not only will it not make people feel afraid, but it will also be unable to prevent the spread of rumors and the fermentation of the situation.

In fact, with Kubal's political ability and level, he would not make such a mistake. He just suddenly became the prime minister of the empire and wanted to show off. A combination of many reasons made it somewhat nondescript.

If he could calm down and deal with it calmly, such a situation would not happen.

After all, it was because of a slight change in mentality after becoming the prime minister of the empire.

The embarrassment on Kubal’s face made Maggs feel a lot happier. He and Kubal have been good friends since they were young. Comparing and competing with each other.

Everyone wants to prove that they are the best, and love and killing accompanied their best years. It was not until Magus suddenly rose to overthrow the old feudal dynasty and established a new era that Kubal had to admit that, Compared with Magus, he is still a bit worse.

Some, just some.

There is nothing that makes people happier than the failure of an old opponent. After laughing for a while, Magus began to think about how to deal with the current situation. Turn everything around, and there may not be any request to him.

There is a key word here, which is "in an extremely short period of time". In fact, given Kubal enough time, he can also solve these troubles.

But the question now is whether or not the ifto meeting will be held, how long it will take to lose face internationally, and some domestic problems.

If these problems cannot be resolved in a short period of time, the international prestige of Yaoxing Empire may drop to a higher level.

From this series of events, Magus smelled the breath of an "old friend".

Breath from the Commonwealth.

If you want to say who is the happiest in the defeat of the empire, then it must be the Federation.

The federation, which has just been looted by the empire, is facing unprecedented troubles. The domestic people's livelihood is dying, the economy is retrogressing, and its international status has dropped significantly.

It is said that there are also two armed forces in the Federation, operating in some remote areas under the slogan of "Save the Federation from the hands of the dictator".

Intersecting with the internal contradictions of the Federation, the national strength is constantly declining, the empire is developing rapidly in terms of people's livelihood and economy, and its international status has also surpassed the Federation, becoming a first-class power.

Faced with such a situation, even if the Federation can't draw a hand, it will find a way to cause trouble for the empire.

For example, the problem of weapons smuggling has become more and more rampant in recent years. A large number of standard weapons from the Federation have appeared in the underground world of the empire.

In the past, a gang with two or three pistols was able to gain dominance in an area. Last month, in a small town in the south, all three gangs clashed with fully automatic rifles and grenades.

The passivity of public opinion this time is very likely to be caused by those people from the Federation, even if it wasn't, it is now.

He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, "Actually, it's not troublesome to solve these things, but we lack a core figure. With him, other things are not a problem."

Kubal also breathed a sigh of relief, took two puffs of his cigarette and put the butt out in the ashtray, "I'm curious, who has such a great ability to solve problems that even you can't solve."

Magus raised his eyebrows, "Durin!"

Seeing Kubal's surprised expression, Magus laughed happily again. He didn't give Kubal any chance to speak, and directly revealed the answer to the mystery.

"Do you remember Elorati?"

"It's a good thing if someone is fighting for it. People are always so weird and blind. In fact, they may know that what they are fighting for is worthless, but if everyone else is fighting for it, then they also want to grab it."

Illorati is the name of an aristocratic lady. This lady was very famous in the aristocratic circle when she was young, and many young aristocrats circled around her every day.

It is also very interesting to say that she was definitely not the most beautiful among the nobles at that time, nor was she the best figure, and she was not the one with the biggest background. Everything about her was very ordinary, but people were willing to pursue her.

Prove by pursuing her that I am the best of this generation!

In the eyes of those people, she is no longer a "person", but a representative of success and status. Everyone desires success and status, so everyone is fighting for it.

With Maggs' explanation, Kubal immediately realized that he was one of them back then, and he already understood what Maggs meant.

The issue that really affects the empire now is not all visible issues, and has nothing to do with Duhring's assassination or anything, but whether the ifto meeting can be held smoothly, and whether enough countries are willing to participate in it.

As long as ifto is successfully held, some problems will naturally be solved, and even some people who want to leave ifto and are about to leave will come back here.

"But what does this have to do with Durin?" Kubal asked with some confusion, "Could it be that he can cast some kind of magic to make those people steal their heads for our plan?"

"Magic?" Magus laughed, "No, of course he can't know any magic, but he is a person who can perform miracles, you need to believe that!"
