Every Person Had Their Own Way
"When should we make our move?" someone asked. "I think the time is almost right. We can put in a little more effort and give it a gentle push!"
The speaker made a simple pushing gesture, and some of the others showed expressions of agreement, while others shook their heads.
The oldest gentleman in the room chuckled and said, "Wait a little longer, no rush. Didn't you read the newspaper?"
"The Federal Government said that we will never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, so we must let everything here happen naturally."
The man who had spoken earlier shook his head. "Actually, we don't need to do that. It would waste a lot of our time."
"But we can ensure that people in other regions don't feel emotionally averse to us. Gentlemen, our interests are not limited to Nagaril, but extend throughout the world, so other people's attitudes towards us are especially important!"
"No one, organization, or country wants their partner to be a 'conductor,' so we need to make our position clear, wait a little longer, and what we want will soon arrive!"
With the Royal Capital in such a state of turmoil and local areas declaring independence, if the Royal Capital come up with an effective way to change things, many things will gradually spiral out of control and become irreversible.
For those who are still wavering and in a neutral position, the less the royal family does, the more disappointed they become, ultimately forcing them to completely side with the other party.
But how easy is it for the royal family to make a statement? The United Development Company has already deployed many locals to mingle with the marching crowds. If the royal family wants to do anything, they will lead the others to storm the palace, making it impossible for the palace to make any sound.
If the royal family sends out the Kingdom Guards or even directly uses the army, it will inevitably trigger a more brutal conflict. Whether the royal family wins the conflict or loses all its chips in the conflict, there can only be one loser.
Meanwhile, as more and more rulers in various regions are persuaded, the demise of this country is now on a countdown. It will be fragmented, with no region recognizing the legitimate rule of the royal family, and the name of the Nagaril United Kingdom will disappear from the stage of history.
All of this will be the People's Choice, and this country will be dismembered and utterly destroyed because of public opinion.
Many years later, the people who grew up here, receiving Federal education and baptism, and speaking the Federal Federal Common Language, will forget everything that ever happened here. This place will also become a state of the Federal, a huge autonomous state.
Of course, the Federal Government won't admit these things, but that's the truth.
While these gentlemen were dreaming and discussing their aspirations for the future, a conversation that would determine the fate of the nation was taking place in the nearby royal palace.
The Old King was older than ever before; his back was bent, and every time he straightened up, it caused him excruciating pain. He could no longer straighten his back, just like most of the old people outside the palace.
However, he is lucky, at least he still has everything here, while those people outside have never even had anything.
He stood in the room, leaning on the railing and gazing at the azure sky outside. After about two or three minutes, he sighed heavily and turned to look at his eldest son.
His eldest son rarely appears in public, especially in the last two years, and people have almost forgotten that the Old King had an eldest son.
Whenever someone mentions his son, he tells them that he sent his eldest son abroad to study, but the bastard refused to come back.
People who ask this question will laugh awkwardly to cover up their unease at having asked a silly question.
The environment abroad is indeed much better than in China. If we disregard the allure of power itself, people would actually prefer to live abroad.
As the Ruling Class, they are extremely wealthy and can squander the wealth they have obtained by exploiting the people to provide for their personal enjoyment. Many members of the Ruling Class live abroad for extended periods and are unwilling to return to the country.
This issue involves the royal family, and even members of the royal family are involved. If this issue is amplified to a certain level, it will inevitably trigger some heated social discussions, and it is indeed not a good issue.
However, no one knew that the Old King's eldest son had not refused to return home while abroad. He had already returned, changed his appearance, and was active in society as the "Nagaril Youth Party Leader".
Previously, the Youth Party was a weapon used by the Old King to fight against foreigners. Whenever they wanted someone to disappear, they could simply blame the Youth Party.
It was precisely because these matters were politically very clear-cut and even a little sharp that the Old King needed a trustworthy person to control the Youth Party, and his eldest son was the best candidate.
Then the Federal arrived, and things changed unexpectedly once again.
The Old King's original plan was to be overthrown by his own son, but it seems the Federal are not going to use Nagaril Youth Party. Now they are facing huge trouble and it's time to make a decision.
"This is our last chance..." The Old King walked to his son's side, stroked his hair and cheek, and finally took his hand. "Only in this way can our bloodline continue!"
"The Federal are the most despicable, insidious, and vicious people I've ever met. If we don't do this, we're very likely to be overthrown by those Lowly People, and this country will become their toy."
"They might find a Lowly People to take the lead, and at that time, we will all die. I will die, you will die, they will hunt you down all over the world, your brothers and sisters will die. Only a dead royal family is a good royal family, for the people of the Federal."
"You must do this before they put out a puppet, so that although I will die, your brothers and sisters can live..."
Since the Federal don't intend to involve the Youth Party, they might as well let the Youth Party take the initiative and let their son overthrow them.
When someone stabs you, they're aiming for a vital spot. But when someone stabs you, although you'll get hurt, you'll avoid the most dangerous vital spot.
The Old King's eyes were somewhat cloudy. He looked at his son and said, "All you have to do is create a stir and then lead your men in."
"Your mother and I will commit suicide so you don't have to do anything yourself. Your brothers and sisters will live, and you can try them. Don't Federal like to talk about laws?"
"Then you should use the law to judge their crimes. They may lose their freedom for a short time, but at least they will still be alive."
"With such merits, even if the Federal doesn't want to see you, they can no longer ignore your existence. No matter who replaces the royal family in this position..." The Old King sighed again slowly, "They can't bypass you, and your opinion will become very important."
"Even if you can no longer rule this country in my place, you will still be the most important person in this country, and you will still be the ruler."
"As long as you show your loyalty to the Federal and demonstrate your worth, one day you will be able to take everything back!"
The Old King's ideas and thinking were very correct. One of the most troublesome issues in the transition between the old and new regimes was the trial of the previous rulers and related personnel.
The Federal people are unwilling to be the bad guys themselves; they need a proxy to completely erase the royal family's influence from the country. So, before they find a replacement, let the Crown Prince step forward.
He overthrew the corrupt rule of the royal family and tried every member of the royal family according to the law. He is a hero, and no one can ignore his achievements and influence, not even the Federal people! This is also why the royal family has not made any statement during this period. In fact, the royal family no longer has any chance of winning. From the moment those Provincial Governor declared independence, the Old King realized that he had lost.
The people oppose him, the rulers oppose him, and what's even more frightening is that the Federal has not sent anyone to consult or communicate with him so far, which means that the Federal needs him to play the role of the antagonist!
He didn't even have a chance to surrender; the Federal would never let him go. His fate was sealed, so he might as well fight for his life.
He gripped his eldest son's hand tightly. "You had no choice. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Even if you can't sit in this position, at least you protected our families from harm!"
The Crown Prince nodded heavily and slowly. "I know what to do."
The Old King breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more relaxed. He let go of her hand and paced back and forth a few steps. "How long will it take you to gather enough men?"
"No more than three days!"
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news!"
Short in stature, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Akumali, who would be easily recognized as a positive character in a movie without any embellishment, and whose name has been forgotten, is currently reading a newspaper.
His brows furrowed tightly. As the political situation in Nagaril continued to deteriorate and the Federal remained indifferent, the Galil's Exchange Rate, after nearly half a year of appreciation, began to plummet.
Yesterday, the Exchange Rate of Galil to Federal Sol was 97 to 1, but today it has fallen to 121 to 1.
Although Exchange Rate fluctuations may seem far removed from ordinary people, they are a very close-knit part of life for the Nagaril People, who are currently living in a dual-currency system.
Look at those Coworker waving Galil in fear, trying to exchange it for Federal Sol. Look at the panicked expressions on their faces, look at their sweat-drenched faces and the way they are about to cry. You can tell what kind of pain they are going through.
"Akumali, you have a phone call..."
