Chapter 820 Chicken Soup for the Soul
Miliam tilted her head and thought about it as the others fell silent.
"According to the records of the Intelligence Bureau, including the territorial army and the regular army, the current army in Herrebonia is about 800,000."
"That is to say, if the uncle wants to completely defeat the Kalwad Republic, he must increase his total strength by 400,000 within 2 months? Is this possible?"
Marcias pushed his glasses and barely calmed himself down, while he also raised doubts.
"And there is a lack of cooperation between the ruling army and the regular army. It is still unknown whether the four famous families will wholeheartedly assist the prime minister in invading other countries. Can the prime minister be so confident that he can break the defense line of the Republic?"
“Machias.”
Ryan looked at the deputy squad leader with a heavy expression and said, "Although at the time of the meeting, the faction led by the nobles and the prime minister have always been in open and secret battles."
"But if the prime minister really launches a large-scale war in the name of the country that can affect the destiny of the country, do you think that the nobles who are also citizens of Herrebonians can stay out of the matter?"
"snort!"
Euss snorted coldly, and he spat anxiously, who had been missing and maintained his demeanor.
"Whether this kind of war between a great power and a great power, whoever shows mercy means giving the advantage to the other party."
"Although the nobles did not want to see the prime minister use this war to continue to expand his influence and implement a centralized system in the name of war."
"But we can't let the territorial army respond passively and watch the Republic in turn attack the empire's territory. This extremely contradictory mentality... can you understand?"
Ryan reached out and patted Usses on the shoulder "Eusses, calm down."
With a gentle sigh, Ryan stood up from the sofa, "The same is true for the soldiers of the regular army. There will inevitably be people in the army who are in doubt about the prime minister's order to attack other countries."
"But they are soldiers, and their duty is to obey orders."
"Now, with His Majesty's unreserved trust, the Prime Minister always holds the title of righteousness in his hands."
"Whether it is the unwilling nobles, or the knowledgeable people of the regular army who secretly question the orders of the upper class, after His Majesty clearly issued the order of war, there is only one thing we can do, obey the orders."
Drinking the green tea in his hand in one sip, Ryan placed the cup on the long table in front of him.
Looking at the members of the 7th Class with gloomy faces in front of him, he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, although the current situation seems to be more desperate, it is not completely helpless."
A trace of cunning flashed in Ryan's eyes, "Although we are limited by our identity and cannot resist His Majesty's orders, it does not mean that we will only obey the prime minister's orders foolishly."
"And... aren't you there?"
Ryan looked at Ryan and said solemnly, "I'll remind you first. Once the war begins, the Second Branch, which upholds Olibart's will, may be liquidated first. Ryan, be mentally prepared for this first."
"In such a chaotic situation, it is difficult for Usses and I to act without permission, at least it is impossible to blatantly resist the orders issued by the central government."
"But you are different."
Ryan pointed at Laura, Fei and others, saying, "There are unrestrained guerrillas among you, noble martial arts pursuers without officials and positions, musicians who traveled around, the wind of freedom from the Nord Plateau, and..."
"The Knight of the Grey and his subordinates who are likely to be the wanted criminal."
Turning to look at Machias, Ryan chuckled and said, "If the Prime Minister announces that he has entered a wartime state and monopolizes the power, the Supervisory Office, which is arguing with the government, will be meaningless. In a sense, Machias will soon gain the right to move freely."
"When others are limited by their duties and cannot act, as an extension of Olibart's will, you must become a light of dawn that cuts through the night in this dark age."
Looking at the members of the Class 7 who were still confused in front of him, Ryan shrugged and smiled, "Of course, this is just Olibart's idea. Whether to follow his philosophy depends on your own choice."
"You just need to know one thing, not everyone is willing to follow the prime minister's intentions to promote this world war."
"Class 7 can quietly find enough allies to leverage the overall situation without affecting the situation on the front line, let Olibart and I wait and see."
...
After the meeting of the seventh class, Clow still smiled and said goodbye to Ryan and Alisa. He would go to the hotel on Arut Street alone to find George and Angelica.
Emma quietly hugged Serenu and followed the two of them. The three of them boarded the track car that had not yet been closed for business and returned to the noble street.
It was around 20 o'clock in the evening and there were very few passengers on the railcar.
As soon as he got into the car, Alisa immediately pulled Ryan and sat down, quietly leaned into his ear and asked, "Is there a very obvious moisture in your words just now?"
"oh?"
Ryan raised his eyebrows, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "What do you say?"
"Hmph~"
Alisa used her hand to lift the golden hair that fell to her ears to her shoulders, and snorted proudly and said, "I don't believe you are really as powerless as you said just now. You and Miltio had already prepared a complete plan in secret, right?"
Ryan spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "There is no perfect plan. When the future is unclear, we can only adapt to the situation."
"And I didn't fool you just now. I really can't act casually as Duke Kane. In this regard, I really look forward to the unrestrained Class 7 to achieve some results."
Alisa wrinkled her nose and complained, "It's weird if you believe you, you cunning guy likes to play word games the most."
"Haha~" Emma also chuckled and said, "You can't act as Duke Kane, it doesn't mean you can't hide your identity and leave the Duke's Mansion quietly."
Ryan shrugged without comment, "It's up to you to interpret it."
He hugged Alisa's shoulder and kissed her brilliant blonde hair that smelled of shampoo.
"Alisa, and Emma."
Ryan looked at the two of them solemnly and said, "If Miltio's calculation is not wrong, tomorrow should be the last day of peace."
"Even if the recruits are just offensive training, it will take time. The prime minister should officially cause certain incidents before August to launch the huge dusk he has been preparing for for a long time."
Alisa leaned in Ryan's arms, looked up at him with some concern and asked, "Is there something wrong with the celebration dinner tomorrow night?"
Ryan shook his head, "I don't know either. Maybe there was a problem at the dinner, or maybe some kind of change occurred in the early morning."
"Considering the time required by the prime minister, some changes should occur the day after tomorrow. You should also be prepared."
"But..."
