185.The essence of politics lies in gaming, commonly known as jumping left and right (page 2/2)
Maxim didn't understand the meaning of Miriam's words, but Murphy understood it..
He raised his eyebrows and asked with a straight face.：
“Therefore, my Scarlet Archon’s advice to me is to try my best to please the enemy marshal.？”
“Um.”
Miriam nodded seriously and said：
“This is a strategy that works, and in my experience in history classes and administrative subjects, it tends to be very effective.”
“This won't work！”
The loyal Maxim immediately vetoed：
“How can the lord please the enemy? If the subject people know this, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. At present, our people hate the Kingdom of Plantagenet, especially the Pioneer Legion. Miriam！
When you make suggestions, you should consider the attitudes of our own people, rather than always treating yourself as someone outside this land..
This is also your hometown！”
“Oh, just don't let them know？”
Miriam sighed and said：
“Although this sounds bad, concealment is also one of the essence of politics. The lord is to lead the people, not to be coerced by the people's opinions. Mark, you actually know that at this stage, we must do well with the Plantagenet Kingdom. There's no harm in Transia's relationship, right?？”
Maxim kept a straight face and said nothing, but this silence itself was a clear enough answer..
“I won't please him！”
Murphy shook his head and said：
“Not to mention my true thoughts on this matter, let’s just talk about my other identity. As a person who has been recognized by Her Majesty the Wolf Lady of the Kingdom of Nordtov and granted the position of Acting Governor, if on this occasion, I The border marshal of the Plantagenet Kingdom surrendered, which meant that the support of the Yankees that I had finally won over would also be lost..
I have to complete the conversation with Marshal Loren on an equal footing, but this is actually an opportunity！”
Murphy narrowed his eyes and said to Miriam who was listening carefully.：
“The Wolf Girl's certificate of appointment is already in hand. The king's stamp belonging to the Winter Palace on it is the 'weapon' I can use. Marshal Loren and his King Louis may not care about the attitude of the people of Transia, but they cannot ignore it. The majesty of Beifeng Castle.
Miriam, you are right, this matter is related to national dignity..
But it’s not our national character
Believe me, if you reveal this appointment certificate to your senior, I believe that the dwarf marshal will not be too presumptuous tomorrow.！”
“yes！”
Maxim immediately became happy.
He clapped his fists and said：
“Master Murphy can completely use his strength to fight, just like finding a delicate balance in a sword fight, using the wolf girl's royal power to suppress the damn marshal..”
“And the Plantagenet Kingdom needs us too！”
Miriam's eyes lit up and she said thoughtfully：
“Just as the Yankees of the Kingdom of Nordtof need us to be on the front line of the Black Disaster to replace their soldiers in death, the nobles of the Kingdom of Plantagenet will not be willing to send their children to the dangerous front line..
Therefore, if the most optimistic scenario occurs, the marshal will even take the initiative to win over and appease us！
Ah, who would have thought that the terrible black disaster could actually become Transia's talisman at this difficult time?？”
“Hey, you young people, if you had read more the chronicles of the Confederation of Portia, you wouldn’t have realized this truth just now..”
Tris's voice sounded from the door.
Having just finished fishing and happily drank a bottle of fine ice and fire wine, the Archduke of the Blood Vulture, who was walking out to eat and take a walk, leaned inappropriately against the door of Murphy's office..
She said while playing with her naughty hair：
“From the moment the first city of the Portian Confederation was established, using the Black Scourge and the threat of gnolls to extract profits from the Nords, Sealanders and Kets was the foundation of this country.！
Murphy said something very well in his previous report to the Wolf Girl: War itself is the most profitable business, and over the past few hundred years, the human nobles of the Portia Confederation have implemented this to the extreme..
Every black disaster will cause heavy losses to the Portia Confederation, but after every black disaster, the country's strength will usher in a wave of explosive growth! It is said that you have to rely on mountains and rivers to survive. If you want to live comfortably in this hellish place like Transia, you have to learn to take advantage of the threat of those ferocious jackals..
They are indeed formidable enemies, but this does not prevent the Confederation of Portia from using them as a way to make money..
The unique geographical location here is our biggest trump card when asking for various assistance from other forces..”
The Archduke of the Blood Vulture showed a slightly disgusted but generally satisfied smile, stepped forward, touched Miriam's little head, and said warmly：
“It makes sense for Murphy to value you. You have relied on yourself to understand the survival principles of the managers of this land, but this is just the beginning, Miriam. As the Scarlet Archon, you have to learn and There is still a lot to explore.”
Miriam's impression of Mrs. Tracey is excellent.
She has always believed that if all vampires were like Mrs. Tracey, then humans and vampires might be able to coexist peacefully..
But it wasn't until today that she realized for the first time the cunning and knowledgeable soul hidden under the appearance of the useless king..
She realized that this ancient man who had lived in Transia for 400 years had witnessed with his own eyes the establishment, rise and destruction of the Confederation of Persia..
Her life experience itself is a rare treasure for politicians.
Miriam also seems to have truly figured out the reason why her lord, Lord Murphy, is so young yet so cunning and sinister. This is probably because Ms. Tris taught her well.？
“Can I ask you to be my political advisor? Ms. Tracey.”
Miriam stood up and said seriously：
“The land and I need your wisdom, ma'am..”
“ha? You want to give me another job? Are you trying to tire me out?？”
Tris rolled her eyes and said：
“No need to talk! Dealing with family matters annoys me to death, and it's not difficult to do. You just have to learn how to jump left and right. When the Yankees are crazy, they introduce the power of the Zealanders, and the Zealanders want to overturn the table. Just move closer to the Yankees.
It's a pity that the Kingdom of Isa has been annexed by the Sealanders, otherwise the cunning island that has been playing the "continental balance" strategy overseas will become your most loyal ally..
Your predecessors all danced on three eggs, but when it is your turn, there are only two eggs left. This is enough to test your political wisdom and keen sense of smell..
You do need helpers and counselors, but not me.”
The Archduke of the Blood Vulture glanced at little Murphy, who maintained a handsome smile and looked at her lovingly, curled his lips and said to Miriam：
“Little Murphy has said that vampires will not be the rulers of this land in the future. We are just one of the creatures raised by this land. So go find your compatriots and get wisdom, experience and knowledge from them. lesson.
Can you please leave now?？
I need to talk to Murphy about something..”
Miriam's eyes immediately became gossipy. She and Maxim looked at each other and exited the office obediently. After they left, Tris moved her shoulders and shook her slender neck and said to Murphy：
“Femis is coming back. She just sent a message and brought back the instructions from Lord Paying.”
“I don't care about another woman right now.”
“Be serious! Those two little guys were eavesdropping outside the door. Well, now, they are far away.”
