In the provincial council meeting hall, all the members of Eagle's Beak Province were present. Today, there will be a meeting concerning the fate of Eagle's Beak Peninsula.
Rudolf was arranged in the seat pool of the Constitution Army representatives as a special invited attendee.
This arrangement is very reasonable. Rudolf represents the strongest force of Eagle's Beak Peninsula, which is stronger than the Constitution Army and has a greater role than the Constitution Army.
On the rostrum, Hart, the speaker of the provincial council, was describing the difficulties and coping plans of Eagle's Beak Peninsula.
Rudolf did not have much time to listen to the speaker's impassioned speech. Eagle's Beak Province could not do much. The power he saw in front of him was all Eagle's Beak Peninsula had. The Constitution Army had a division of the army and several ships in the navy, which was not worth mentioning in front of the seven evil god cults in the southern continent. What could change the fate of Eagle's Beak Peninsula was the Capital Senate, the Elba royal family, and even the distant Megwen Empire.
Speaker Hart said that the supplies on the peninsula were enough to last for six months in a war situation. Since the restoration of the civil war, the Eagle's Beak Province has been actively preparing for war and has never relaxed. Now that the Eagle's Beak Peninsula has encountered the evil god cult, the province does not need to provide supplies to the front line, and the supplies are sufficient for the time being.
Accompanied by the background sound of the speaker's speech, Rudolph was in a daze.
The division commander Rubio turned his head from time to time to observe the furnace, hoping that the furnace would show something. He hoped that the furnace could come up with a more effective solution.
Ten minutes later, Rudolf suddenly turned to Rubio and asked, "Captain, have you sent anyone to the Holy Grail City of East Elba? What is the attitude of the royal family now? With the Wolf Tide and the Evil God Cult, West Elba was nominally the territory of the royal family. Has the royal family given in? Do they have any intention of stopping the war with you?"
Rubio shook his head:
"From the information I have access to, nothing good has happened. Not only does East Elba have no intention of stopping the war, they are also continuously sending troops to the eastern border.
In the past, only the Unicorn Kingdom The Unicorn Knights of the Duke of Elba are fighting with us, and later half of the Royal Holy Grail Knights were added. Now there is another Ram Knights, which is affiliated with the Knights of the Ram Duke Arsino.
If it is confirmed that the evil god cult has no intention of attacking East Elba, I think the royal family will also send the remaining Royal Knights and the Blue Lion Knights of Duke Wilf to the battlefield. "
The civil war in Elba has been going on for three years. It is meaningless to argue about who is just and who is unjust now. Both sides cannot stop. Hatred will push both sides to continue fighting until one side is destroyed.
Even the nobles of East Elba will gloat over the misfortune. The traitor alchemist is targeted by all forces. This is what the alchemist deserves.
Rudolf thought for a while and said, "The Megwen Empire is too far away from here, and there is also a Carolingian Kingdom in the middle that is also in a civil war. You should find a way to communicate with East Elba and ask East Elba to suspend the civil war so that the Constitution Army can free up its hands to deal with the evil god cult."
"This is very difficult. The attitude of the royal family is very firm. They claim that as long as we dissolve the parliaments at all levels, declare allegiance to the royal family, and escort the speakers at all levels to the Holy Grail City and execute them for treason, the royal family will immediately stop the civil war."
"This is not an attitude for peace talks. How can you agree to such harsh conditions?" Rudolf was helpless. There was no possibility of negotiation between the two sides.
Master Rubio said: "At the beginning of the civil war, Carloman XVI might just want to restore the throne, but now, the civil war has undergone some fundamental changes. After the prophecy of destroying power appeared, the nobles became more and more unreasonable."
At this time, Speaker Hart talked about a key thing. He said that the farmland on the west bank of the Garonne River was destroyed by the wolf tide. The Garonne region did not have the ability to accept refugees from the Eagle's Beak Peninsula in a short time. The regional council meant to postpone the refugee migration plan of the Eagle's Beak Peninsula as much as possible, at least in batches. If too many people leave the Eagle's Beak Peninsula in a short period of time, it will cause serious famine in other parts of the Garonne region.
After the first temple was built, everyone understood that the Eagle's Beak Peninsula would be abandoned sooner or later. The regional council believed that the refugees from the Eagle's Beak Peninsula should enter the rear in batches and delay as long as possible. The Garonne region had to deal with the wolf tide and organize production in the rear, which was really too much.
Speaker Hart said: "The civilians of Eagle's Beak Province will definitely move away and cannot be left to the evil god cult. However, the news of the migration must be released slowly, and the migration work must be carried out in steps to buy time for the acceptance work of the region."
Alchemists are good at controlling public opinion. They will use various means to accurately control the news. Until the migration, many ordinary people don't even know the seriousness of the matter, and don't know that the evil god cult is irresistible.
Knowing that the provincial parliament will not organize the refugees to escape as soon as possible, coupled with the luxury train in the South Railway Station that he saw last night, Rudolf felt very depressed.
He really wanted to ask Division Commander Rubio next to him if he knew that the luxury train had been transporting the families of big figures away, but then he thought there was no need to ask, maybe those families included the families of the top leaders of the Constitutional Army.
Rudolph recalled a story he had seen in his previous life. Before the Japanese bombing, the evacuated plane was loaded with the second lady's 17 dogs and a special toilet, but it could not accommodate several scholar couples, and of course it could not accommodate ordinary citizens.
In Duke's words, privilege is part of this society.
The members of the parliament in this council chamber are willing to stay here to fight against the evil god cult. They must feel that they are courageous.
After the speaker's mobilization, the deputy speaker explained the bill that needs to be voted on today, the "Eagle's Beak Peninsula War Bill".
The bill did not state it explicitly, but the words between the lines showed that this was the last war for the Eagle's Beak Peninsula alchemists.
The bill includes wartime military production regulations, war preparation food regulations, conscription regulations, pension regulations, etc.
As for the civilian escape that Rudolph valued most, there was no mention of it in the bill. Rudolph knew the reason. The escape and migration of civilians would be carried out in secret. Once this matter is made public, it will cause panic among civilians, which is obviously not conducive to the "big picture".
Members of the Legislature unanimously passed the bill. From today, the Eagle's Beak Peninsula officially entered a state of war and officially entered the countdown to destruction.
Just as the meeting was about to end, Speaker Hart announced that the city of Belfort would award Mr. Rudolph the title of Outstanding Citizen to reward Mr. Rudolph for his contribution in turning the tide in the port naval battle.
Speaker Hart looked at the furnace with expectation, hoping that the furnace would come up to receive the award. If the furnace did not come up, he would have to announce that the outstanding citizen Mr. Rudolph was unwilling to show his face and was willing to be an unknown hero.
To Speaker Hart's surprise, the furnace stood up and walked up.
After receiving the trophy of Outstanding Citizen, Rudolf smiled and shook hands with Speaker Hart: "The last city that awarded me the title of 'Outstanding Citizen' was my hometown, Fabro City. I really miss it. It's a pity that they later deprived me of the title of Outstanding Citizen."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Furnace, we will never deprive you of your title."
"I believe this. I don't know how long Belfort City can exist. I'm afraid you won't have the chance to deprive me of the title of Outstanding Citizen. Before depriving me of the title of Outstanding Citizen, you must hold on and don't be destroyed by the evil god cult."
Speaker Hart smiled awkwardly, and his smile was a little stiff.
The members below didn't know what was wrong with the speaker. Was he afraid of Furnace? Furnace has been quite honest and enthusiastic recently, running around everywhere, and it is not as scary as the legend says.
