Chapter 508 - Coup (2)

As Zhang Hui put down the card, he looked at Li Shouyi. “Realm of nightmare, this is going from behind the scenes to semi-public!”

Li Shouyi nodded. “That’s right!”

“So…” He caressed his two beloved swords.

Although he had abandoned the sword after the chaos of the Feathered Fox, he was still the strongest human.

Without the sword in his hand, he was still the strongest human.

In the end, he still loved the sword the most as it was the symbol of a gentleman.

It was also the support of etiquette!

Just as the spring and Autumn Dew said: “The sword is on the left; the Azure Dragon is on the right. The sword is on the right; the white tiger is on the right.

In layman’s terms, it was the so-called benevolence, justice, and etiquette.

One had to have the support of the sword to convince people.

Otherwise, it was just empty talk!

How could the federal empire serve the world with loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness?

Wasn’t it just space-based weapons in space that were aimed at enemies on the ground at all times?

Wasn’t it just those aircraft carrier battle groups that were cruising in the ocean and maintaining world peace?

Wasn’t it just those thick and big shots?

That was why he loved swords.

With a sword in hand, he could use a sword to speak.

At this very moment, Li Shouyi looked at Zhang Hui calmly and said, “I plan to go to the various provinces to visit the virtuous local gentry…”

“Talk to them about loyalty and filial piety!”

Since the time of the great ancestor, many contexts in the ancient central plains culture had changed.

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness had changed the most.

In the past, loyalty and filial piety were matched.

It was the filial piety of the son, the filial piety of the father, and the loyalty of the subject to the monarch.

The great ancestor Ge Ding, who owned the world, used his guns and cannons to defeat everyone.

Thus, what he said became the truth.

The great ancestor declared, “Heaven listens to the people, Heaven looks at the people! I am under the command of heaven!”

For the first time in history, the people were above the king.

Therefore, the concept of loyalty and filial piety took an irreversible change at that time.

Loyalty and filial piety were directly linked to the people.

The Emperor had to be loyal to the people and filial to the people.

The same was true for the officials and soldiers.

Otherwise, it would be disloyalty and unfilial.

Disloyalty could incur punishment.

As of now, Li Shouyi’s context was very straightforward.

Whoever dared to defy the central federal government at this time would be a disloyal and unfilial rebel!

They would be hacked into pieces!

Of course, they would be filled with murderous intent!

At such a time, they would definitely not be as amiable as before.

“What about the other countries?” Zhang Hui asked, “Do you want to greet them?”

“There’s no need to be impatient! “Li Shouyi replied, “The wind knows the strong grass; the board swings to see the loyal officials!”

“At this time, it’s better to be quiet than to move!”

“Moreover…” he laughingly asked, “can we really control them?”

“Rather than using force to coerce them, it’s better to wait for them to ask for help…”

Li Shouyi himself was also a grand secretary!

Furthermore, he was a grand secretary who specialized in researching theories!

He naturally understood that the more at a time like this, the more he should put away his fist.

If he were to punch now, would it be a human or a ghost? Who would know the answer?

Only when the human and the ghost were clearly distinguished.

Would he know where to punch? !

Only then would he understand who was the fastest to punch.

Zhang Hui listened and nodded. “I understand!”

“But…” He looked at Li Shouyi. “If someone comes to ask for help now… what is our country’s attitude?”

In the face of such a great era, it was very difficult for small countries to protect themselves.

This was something that didn’t even need to be thought about.

When the great era fully unfolded, who knew how many small countries and poor countries would be swallowed up by the tide of the era.

After Li Shouyi thought for a moment, he said, “If in the world…”

“If there is a request for help, it is naturally incumbent upon us!”

This was the core value of the federal empire.

The rise and fall of a country was within expectation.

Allowing the revival of a country that had been cut off, allowing the revival of a country that had been destroyed.

This was also a major matter that concerned the interests of their descendants.

“And outside the world…” Li Shouyi sighed. “I’m afraid we can only say that we’re sorry!”

There was nothing they could do!

It was a pocket-sized kingdom located in the hinterland of India.

A kingdom that was artificially created before the colonists of land of Qin retreated.

Its royal family was the former land lord who transformed himself.

For more than 300 years, this kingdom had been forgotten by the world.

Other than a few curious people, very few people had set foot in this place.

That was because this country had nothing but population.

There were only one railway and two highways in the whole country.

This was built by the Butania colonists.

Following its independence, the royal family couldn’t be bothered with such nonsense!

They only wanted to make money, and they benefited from the post-war international order.

There was a huge federal empire at the front, clearly supporting the international order they established.

Anti-aggression, anti-interference, anti-injustice War!

Therefore, even though the Middle Kingdom of India was weak,.

The rule of the royal family could still be maintained.

As long as they suppressed the ‘untouchables ‘who were causing trouble, they could continue to act arrogantly with Peace of mind.

Moreover, the unique culture of India made the cost of governing extremely low.

In addition, this country was really too poor and didn’t have much profit.

Therefore, although the royal family had encountered many challenges in the past three hundred years, they still maintained their position steadily.

Of course, they had to put on an act and learn from the international mainstream, which was why they announced something like ‘governing by lowering the arch’.

In reality, it was still the same old story.

Just after midnight, figures appeared in front of the Royal Palace of the Middle India Kingdom.

“Let’s do it!” A man with a turban looked at the others. “An incompetent ruler has caused our people to suffer…”

“Now, it’s time to settle the score with an incompetent ruler!”

A big-bellied man nodded. “That’s right!”

“Tonight, we will hang the people and punish them!”

As such, the dozen or so people walked towards the palace gates.

The guards on duty heard the movement and turned on their searchlights to look at the people walking toward the palace gate.

The guards were stunned.

“Sir… Are you here… to see the King?”

“That stupid king?!” The Man in the lead laughed, “We are indeed here to meet him!”

“We need to borrow something from him? !”

“What is it?”

“A head!” The man said coldly.

The guards were stunned.

The man asked, “How is it? Do you want to protect the king? Or do you want to join our cause and overthrow that stupid king? !”

The guards only thought for a second because their commander had already made a decision for them. “Brothers, it’s time to support the new king and contribute to the country!”

What kind of joke was this?

The people who came tonight were the Brahmins who had truly controlled the Middle India kingdom for the past three hundred years!

They were the true masters of men.

They were also the progeny of God, the important figures with transcendent being powers!

The reason why they did not replace the king in the past was simply because they did not want to.

Now…

They thought about it. The king’s brains were naturally like dandelions, ready to fly away when the wind blew!

Without hesitation, the soldiers picked up their weapons and followed their commander into the palace.

Half an hour later, they occupied the entire palace and all the key institutions of the Central India Kingdom.

Then, they announced to the world through the broadcast that the central India Republic had been established!

Another hour later, the newly born Central India Republic announced the establishment of an interim government and a transitional council.

Once this decision was announced, its neighboring country, the Kingdom of northern India, declared war on the Central India Republic!

The reason was that the King of Central India was the nephew of the King of Northern India. Now that his nephew had been killed, his uncle wanted to avenge his nephew!

The declaration of war had just been announced.

The three armored divisions of northern India took advantage of the darkness of the night to cross the border and head straight for the capital of Central India!

However, they had only just begun their attack when they received the news halfway.

The Central India Republic had announced an alliance with the southern India Republic.

The Prime Minister of the southern India Republic thus issued an ultimatum to the northern India kingdom, requesting that the northern India army withdraw from central India’s territory within four hours.

In this respect, the Northern India Kingdom flatly defied the order.

Hence, the Southern India Kingdom announced that they would carry out a general mobilization.

At 4 am, the King of the northern India Kingdom signed the General Mobilization Order.

Shortly after 4:30 am, the air force of the Southern India Kingdom bombed the ports of the Northern India Kingdom.

At 4:45 am, the Northern India Kingdom declared war on the Southern India Kingdom.

Immediately, the Southern India Kingdom launched its attack.

It was not yet dawn, but the situation was already beyond control.
