Chapter 188 The Queen’s Teachings

In the palace at night, Princess Anne was reporting to the Queen what happened during the day.

"Earl Brandlis is right, you are indeed too indecisive, Anne." After listening to Princess Anne's report, the Queen shook her head with some disappointment: "Urgent means must be used in emergency times, Bran Earl Delis is right, at times like this we cannot hesitate, we must use thunderous means to quickly eliminate those opponents and stabilize the political situation of the empire."

Obviously, the Queen's thoughts and attitudes were the same as Perficott's, and she felt that these potential opponents and threats should be dealt with quickly.

However, Princess Anne still didn't quite understand and said: "But mother, didn't you teach me before that as a royal family, when dealing with these matters, you must have enough ironclad evidence to make people speechless?"

"That is under normal circumstances. The royal family needs ironclad evidence just to avoid damaging the reputation of the royal family. It does not mean that the royal family needs evidence to eliminate dissidents." The Queen was a little helpless and felt that she seemed to have educated Princess Anne too foolishly. A little sweeter: "Anne, you have to understand that you are now thinking about the problem as the leader of the empire, not just a princess, a general, or a knight.

On some matters, the royal family does need conclusive evidence to make people irrefutable, but at certain times, what we need is quick and decisive, which makes people speechless. "

Speaking of this, the Queen couldn't help but sigh: "Earl Brandlis is indeed extremely talented. He has already understood the essence of all this at such a young age. He is really formidable! If she were not too young and lacked prestige, she would be completely Can take over the position of Duke of Gloucester.

She is as talented in politics as she is in alchemy, although she may prefer to solve problems in a crude way. "

Hearing the Queen's evaluation of Purficott, Princess Anne couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked with some disbelief: "Does little Purficott really have such ability? I don't think she is anything special in handling problems. Huh? By using such simple and crude methods, isn't she worried about provoking a popular uprising and attracting more opponents?"

"How come you still don't understand?" The Queen was a little helpless. Princess Anne's incomprehension made her sigh, and she had to break the whole thing apart and break it up to explain to her: "In peacetime, stability is the most important, because only peace and stability can bring prosperity.

Because of this, in peacetime we need to treat everything carefully to avoid causing an irreversible situation.

Just like deciding the direction of attack during a war, any indecision will cause you to miss the opportunity.

This is exactly what Princess Anne is worried about. She is worried that too drastic measures will cause unnecessary turmoil in public opinion and situation.

But in extraordinary times, it's just the opposite. As a decision-maker, you need decisiveness and determination. Even if you are not sure what the consequences will be, you must make a decision immediately.

The reason why Earl Brandlis forced you to make a decision is also a test for you, to test whether you have the determination and ability to shoulder the responsibility of leading the empire at this critical moment.

She even thoughtfully prepared the standard answer for you. Why do you think she wanted to mobilize the steam knight for today's matter? Show off your strength? No, that’s for you to see! Let me tell you that even if you mess up, she can still take care of it for you! "

Having said this, the Queen couldn't help but sigh again, shook her head and said: "Now it seems that you still have a lot of deficiencies in handling crisis events. For this kind of thing, you should mobilize the Royal Guards Knights and Guards as soon as possible. The army will use the most thunderous momentum to clear out all the opposition. This can not only deter those potential opponents, but also prove to everyone that the royal family has the ability and determination to maintain the stability of the empire, and at the same time, can lead the people through This disaster.

This is the answer that Earl Brandlis wants. However, you have let her down twice. If it weren't for the close friendship between you and her mother and the fact that you took good care of her in the past, I'm afraid Earl Brandlis I have given up supporting you now. "

Hearing this, Princess Anne couldn't help but feel annoyed and regretted why she hadn't been more decisive.

Purficott was willing to sacrifice his reputation to save the empire, but as a royal, he showed such irresponsibility. This made Princess Anne, who regarded herself as a knight who protects the people, feel particularly ashamed.

Seeing that Princess Anne seemed to have come to her senses, the Queen nodded happily.

Although it is already a little late, it is not too late if you can understand it in time. It is not too late now.

But the Queen then asked Princess Anne: "So do you understand what to do now?"

"Let the Intelligence Bureau collect the arrest list, and then send out the Royal Guards Knights and Guards to arrest the people." Princess Anne thought for a while, and in addition to repeating the measures the Queen had said before, she also added some of her own opinions: " At the same time, we must send troops to blockade ports and roads, and do this with as much momentum as possible. Anyone who dares to resist during the arrest will be killed on the spot. After being caught, they will be directly charged with treason without any further punishment. Public trial and immediate execution.”

After realizing this, Princess Anne finally showed her decisive side as a soldier and decided to deal with all this with the most drastic means she could think of.

However, the Queen still shook her head and added for her: "This is not enough, you have to directly confiscate all the properties of these people."

"Confiscate their property?" Princess Anne didn't quite understand why the opposition's property should be confiscated.

"Because the doomsday response plan requires a large amount of capital investment, it is not enough just to rely on Earl Brandlis selling his property and the little money you raised before." The Queen couldn't help but reveal a little sigh when she said this: "As a The orphaned daughter of the Baron family, Count Brandlis could have ignored all this. With her intelligence, she could have lived alone and lived well in the apocalypse.

But because of your persuasion, she decided to help the empire, even though the empire had already failed her once.

The empire owes her a lot for this matter, so the royal family needs to spare no effort to support her! Because only in this way can the empire's survival be guaranteed. "

At this point, the expression on the Queen's face became very solemn, and she solemnly said to Princess Anne: "My daughter, you must remember that Earl Brandlis is the one who can ensure the survival of the royal family in this disaster. And the key to the continued existence of the Victoria Empire!”
