Chapter 513 Rebuilding the Country (Twenty-Nine)

"Winters Montagne!"

To everyone's surprise, Kai Moreland first named the person who was least likely to be named.

"Wolf Blood! Wolf Blood!" Kai Moreland's tone was extremely sarcastic: "Who doesn't know your great reputation."

The next second, Kai Moreland suddenly raised his voice: "But didn't you rebel against the New Reclamation Army a long time ago?! What right do you have to sit here today as a rebel?!"

As soon as these words came out, the free men in the meeting hall couldn't help but look sideways.

The experience of Blood Wolf's rebellion against the New Reclamation Army was more or less heard by the free men in other counties. But how he got involved with the forces of the old army afterwards was an unsolved mystery for outsiders.

Facing the inquiring eyes of the crowd, Winters had a blank expression on his face and ignored them.

However, his subordinates could not bear to see Blood Wolf being insulted in this way. If they didn't want to embarrass Blood Wolf, many people would have cursed him.

Just like Winters, the officers of Tiefeng County and Vone County sectors all treated Kai Morlan's attack with indifference, but many of them had already hated the latter in their hearts.

"Matthias Korwin."

"Matthias!" Kai Morlan fired at full force: "What a resounding surname! What a glorious surname! In terms of long and noble bloodline, Alphard Duyom is only worthy of being your stirrup."

"But when it comes to the smuggling business," Kai Morlan said sternly: "The Alphard family is not even worthy of being your family's stirrup!

When the merchants in Jiangbei Province went bankrupt due to the blockade order, the caravans of the Matthias family with special licenses could travel freely on the border!"

The free people in the meeting immediately turned their eyes to the Bianjiang County sector.

Lieutenant Colonel Matthias smiled and did not comment.

"The special caravans leave the country to collect intelligence on the Hede barbarians!" Someone in the middle of the seats in Bianjiang County spoke.

"So the caravan of the Matthias family even saved taxes!" Kai Morlan retorted: "Oh! What a glorious surname! Oh! What a wonderful business!"

The person who just spoke did not speak again.

Kai Morlan did not stop for a moment, and then directed his spearhead at the next person: "Skull Meklen! The hero of the Battle of Legal! The model of the poor officers! How many lives of the sons of Plato did you exchange for your colonel's uniform?"

"And you-Gesa Adonis!" Kai Morlan looked at the last of the four military commanders and shouted: "Where did you get your magnificent manor, luxurious mansion and full treasury? Have the sons of Plato buried in the wilderness ever bathed in your swimming pool?"

Gesa Adonis tried his best to suppress his anger and ignored Kai Morlan.

Kai Morlan cursed very happily, and the free people in the Great Council Hall also listened very happily.

I don't know about other places, but in the New Reclamation Province, no one has ever dared to scold the real owner of the New Reclamation on such a major occasion.

The emotional free people were eager to hear Mr. Kai Morlan continue to speak.

However, Kai Morlan fell into silence. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "But I will not accuse you of guilt."

He looked at the officers in the meeting hall: "Gentlemen, I will not accuse any of you of guilt, because you just did what everyone else did.

In your evaluation system, Gesa Adonis, Skull Meklen, Matthias Korwin, Winters Montagne, each of them is a well-known name. They are brave and fearless, they are resourceful, they have led you to victory after victory, they are models, examples, and leaders to be followed. How can such a person be a sinner?"

The free people in the meeting hall were already confused, but Kai Morlan did not intend to give them time to breathe.

"So I won't accuse any of you of being guilty, and you are not sinners."

After a long preparation, Kai Morlan was finally able to say what he really wanted to say:

"The real culprit is the Old Plato Army itself!

"The army that should have protected the Republic kidnapped its homeland.

"It no longer acts in the interests of the Republic, but makes the Republic act in its own interests.

"It abuses the status of free men and turns the Grand Council into its puppet.

"It regards the New Reclamation Province as its own private property and the Jiangbei Province as its own backyard.

"It issues bonds in the name of the Republic, but pockets most of the spoils.

"It goes to war for military merit and honor, even if it goes against the interests of the Republic.

"It does not allow itself to be weakened, constrained, or dominated.

"If its demands are not met, even reforms that benefit everyone cannot be implemented.

"As long as it is in its interests, even bills that will hurt everyone will be forced through. "

"This is the Old Plato Army, and this is its sin! "Kayi Moreland's closing words were powerful: "It is a crime against the Republic, against everyone, and against this land!"

"Fart! Fart! That's nonsense!" Geza Adonis finally couldn't hold it back anymore, jumped up and pointed at Kai Morland's nose and cursed: "Without us, the Republic of Plato would not exist! If Without us, the newly cultivated land would still be in the hands of the Hud barbarians! If generations of Republic soldiers had not been fighting bloody battles in the wilderness, where would you have the chance to talk nonsense here? I... I'll fucking kill you!"

"I have never denied the merits of the old army." Kai Moran's mood became extremely calm, and he responded contemptuously to Geza's threat: "But please also let me tell you, His Excellency Geza Adonis, And all the respectable gentlemen present..."

He looked coldly at the officers in the meeting room and raised his voice: "If you, your Excellencies, only dare to judge others and dare not judge yourself, then I can conclude now that there is no possibility of rebuilding this republic! Poisonous trees cannot bear fruit. To produce non-poisonous fruit, all your hard work is just starting another cycle!”

After speaking, Kai Morland raised his head proudly: "I have finished speaking, you can hang me."

"Prepare a gallows for him!" Gesa shouted: "It's right here!"

The atmosphere in the big meeting hall instantly became tense to the extreme. The officers of Baishan County did not know how to respond to Colonel Gesa's order.

"Quiet!" Colonel Skull Mecklund knocked the head of his hammer gently.

Everyone in the big meeting hall let out a sigh of relief.

"No one will be hanged today." Colonel Skoll Mecklund's words set the tone for the rest of the conversation.

The colonel stared at Kai Moreland. After a long silence, he announced word by word: "As for Mr. Kai Moreland's accusation, I think... it is true!"

"Um?"

"Um!"

Two hums with completely different emotions rang out in the big meeting hall, and everyone was in an uproar. Not only the freedmen but also the officers were surprised by this unexpected turn of events.

Colonel Geza Adonis stared at his colleagues on the bench with wide eyes.

Lieutenant Colonel Matthias Corwin frowned, but he did not turn his attention to Colonel Skull like the others. Instead, he paid close attention to Winters Montagne not far away. Unfortunately, he could not follow him from behind. I can see any clues in the expression of the person.

"Quiet!" Colonel Scull said with a sullen face and banged the gavel again.

The big meeting hall fell silent.

"No one can see the chronic diseases of the old army system more clearly than we do." Colonel Scull let out a long sigh and asked in a sincere tone: "But what kind of verdict do you think I should issue? Do you want to Shall I convict the New Territory Corps and order them to surrender all power to the General Assembly of Freemen? Let us not consider whether this can be realized for now - if the verdict can be realized, the Province of New Territory will fall within three months. "

"I understand." Kai Morland hit the nail on the head just now, and his attitude softened in time, and he replied loudly:

"Political ideals always have to yield to practical considerations, and the Alliance Charter also has to yield to the national conditions of each country. Even the ancients understood that when the moment of life and death arrives, a leader with unlimited power must be elected to lead the republic out of difficulties.

"At this moment when the people of the Federation have reached out to Plato, it is unrealistic to demand that the promises of the Charter of the Union be fulfilled immediately. I believe that all the honorable gentlemen in this great chamber can also understand... "

Kai Moran looked around the Great Council: "Unless someone wants to be a slave to the United Provinces."

A muffled hum of disdain and approval sounded from under the dome.

In the venue, Gesar Adonis vaguely came back to his senses. At the same time, Matthias Corwin was still paying close attention to Winters Montagne's expression.

Kay Morland changed the topic and made a request without being humble: "However, I hope that your Excellencies can also understand the voice of the people, extend the date of the conference, and allow the conference to discuss the new charter instead of discussing it in one morning. It passed three times."

The free people present pricked up their ears.

Kai Moran looked at everyone present and continued: "If we don't want to make the same mistakes again, we must learn from the lessons of the old republic, legally abolish the self-command power of the old army, and put the army back under the supreme power - — Even if we can’t do that in reality.”

"If you can be patient and listen to me read out the new charter." Colonel Skool Mecklund's steely face relaxed for a moment, a wry smile passed from the corner of his mouth, and he said with half interest: "Your request is exactly right. That’s what we hope to achieve.”

"Besides that." Kai Morland followed closely: "I also have a proposal that I hope will be considered by the Free People's Assembly."

Colonel Gesa's cold voice came from the audience: "Enough is enough."

"Quiet." Colonel Skull knocked the gavel, and he asked Kai Moran tiredly: "What proposal?"

Kai Morland took a deep breath: "Require the military to re-swear!"

"Huh?" Colonel Skull raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I, Kai Moreland, propose a motion - the army should renew its oath, swear allegiance to the Republic, and swear allegiance to the General Assembly of Freemen, the legitimate representatives of the Republic, swear..." Kai Moreland carefully controlled his breath, Make sure his next words are clear and resounding: "When the time comes, power will truly be returned to the legitimate representatives of all the people of the Republic."

There was a "buzz" in the big meeting hall.

Many free people are still digesting Kai Morland's series of parallel sentences, but people have instinctively realized that this third oath has an unusual meaning.

"Quiet." Colonel Skull knocked the gavel again. He propped up his chin and looked at Kai Morland in the trial seat with interest: "Young man, I have only heard that crisis can force reform. , I’ve never heard of anyone paying off their debt when they win money.”

"We are already promoting reform, aren't we? Your Excellency." Kai Moran was silent for a moment and said sincerely: "I believe in you, always."

Colonel Skull was stunned for a moment. He looked at Kai Morland for a long time, but he still couldn't come to a conclusion.

"So be it." Colonel Skull said heartily. The appearance of Kai Morland, the spoiler, relieved him of the burden. After all, deep down in his heart, Skull Mecklen never Agree with the previous plan of coaxing and coaxing through the new charter.

"Gentlemen, please be quiet." Colonel Scull banged the gavel hard: "Now, the assembly will begin to vote on Kai Moreland's proposal. Proposal 1 is to postpone the closing date of the General Assembly of Freemen until The Assembly does all the necessary work.”

Colonel Scull repeated the proposal three times and then asked, "Who agrees?"

"AYE."

The first voice of approval was sparse, because many people had not yet reacted.

"AYE!"

The second shout of approval was louder because many people had come to their senses.

"AYE!!!"

The third shout of approval was deafening, because even the free men who had not heard the content of the proposal were shouting along with their companions. In the Tiefeng County sector, Richard from Blackwater Town shouted particularly enthusiastically.

"Who objects?"

No one said anything.

Skull banged the gavel hard: "Passed."

Next came the second proposal, "Allowing the contents of the new charter to be resubmitted to the General Assembly of Freemen for discussion," again repeated three times.

And then, “Who agrees?”

"AYE!!!"

"AYE!!!!!"

"AYE!!!!!!"

The cheers grew louder and louder, and the old dust on the dome of the Great Council Hall was shaken to pieces. Many people felt in a daze that the Great Council Hall was shaking with the cheers.

"Who objects?"

No one said anything.

Skull banged the gavel: "Passed."

Finally, there is the third proposal, "requiring the new Reclamation Corps to take a new oath."

"AYE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"AYE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"AYE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The cheers for the third vote were even louder than the cheers for the first vote. Thunderous cheers surged out of the Grand Council Hall and filled the streets. Pedestrians in the city stopped and looked around, even the waterfowl outside the water gate. I was also shocked by the film.

Richard from Blackwater Town almost screamed until his vocal cords broke. This highly coordinated collective activity can easily give the participants an illusion, making them feel as if they have endless power, not only the collective A member of the group and also the owner of the group.

"Look! Look!" Richard from Blackwater Town thought with great excitement: "Look what great things we can accomplish when we unite as one! The New Reclamation Corps, the people of the United Provinces, everyone Can't stop us, look!"

Colonel Scull waited patiently for a while, waiting for the lingering sounds to dissipate, waiting for the dust to fall to the ground, and waiting for the hoarse free people to take a breath again, and then he asked:

"Who objects?"

There was silence in the big meeting hall.

Until a cold, powerful voice broke the silence.

"I object."

The free people who had just been immersed in the satisfaction brought by collective behavior were horrified. They looked around in panic, trying to find the source of the sound.

All the eyes in the great chamber instantly focused on a figure walking towards the trial seat.

That figure was no one else.

It is the lord of Iron Peak County and Warne County, the champion of the Plato Expedition, the conqueror of the Teldu tribe, and the rebel in the mouth of Kai Morlan:

Winters Montagne.

Wolf blood.
