Conquest

    Chapter 367 [What do you want? 】

    Shaar didn't go to see Rheinhardt until after dark.

    Rheinhardt has been received from the medical hall in the city because of his injuries. Because the military camp outside the city was stationed in the four thousand Rhodelia cavalry, most of them were wounded. So many wounded people were really busy with the doctors in the city. Even many medicines in the warehouse were in a hurry.

    There are some chaos in the city outside the city. The fabrics in many shops have been rushed by the army to buy the goods and use them as bandages.

    When Shaar came to the hospital, he saw the young officer who was resting in bed – Rheinhardt clearly looked very comfortable.

    He leaned on the bed halfway, sitting next to a young maid in a red-faced hospital, holding a small bowl and a spoonful of spoonful of honey water to Rheinhardt's mouth. Looking at the young girl's eyes of reverence and admiration, and Rheinhardt lying there, holding his head in his hands, even Shaar was awkward about this young man.

    "County Overseer Lord."Seeing that Shaar came in, Rheinhardt sat up immediately, as if he smiled a little, and the tone was a bit odd: "Or, should you call it "Military" Lord? Or call you a handsome coach? ”

    Indeed, if you follow that fake appointment, Shaar can indeed be a Commander-in-Chief level character.

    Shaar didn't talk, just standing at the door, looking at the young man from top to bottom with a look of his eyes – this guy, every time he looked at him, there was always a weird feeling. The young man seemed to do things. calm……This kind of calm attitude is the strangest.

    because……Rheinhardt always acted with the sneak peek of the sneaky tricks, but he still showed a look of no guilt.

    I really don't know his attitude that seems to care nothing, whether it is from the heart or disguised.

    "What do you think should be called me?"

    Shaar grinned and smiled, then looked at the young maid: "Well, go out, I have something to talk to Rheinhardt General."

    The maid naturally recognized that Lord Shaar is now the tallest man in Denzel City, with a look of awe, and quickly stooped back.

    "Now we can talk."Shaar simply sat down at the bed of Rheinhardt: "What do you think should be called me?"

    Rheinhardt smiled and smiled even a bit arrogantly: "Of course Marshal, or military affairs make Lord…Didn't you just call me "Rheinhardt General"? It seems that you are planning to accept that appointment? Then seal me a General Dangdang? ”

    Shaar looked at the young man, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly came up with a sentence: "You are very courageous."

    "Your courage is not small."Rheinhardt immediately said one more.

    "You fearless die?"

    afraidRheinhardt grinned: "Any normal person will be afraid of death. Many people are brave and dare to make sacrifices – but it depends on why it costs. I am a normal person, of course I am afraid of death…What I am afraid of is that I will die before my ideals are reached. ”

    "Since you are afraid of death, then you are sitting here waiting for me? Are you fearless, am I killing you? ”Shaar said, his face was a cold murderous aura: "Tell you, Phillips has been killed by me, now I am here to let you shut up forever!"

    Rheinhardt immediately stared at Shaar and looked at it for a while, then suddenly vomited: "Hey…It seems that the rumors are also wrong…My teacher once said that you are a good actor, but in fact, your acting seems to be improving – your performance was too bad. ”

    Very Poor

    "It's too bad, there are too many flaws."Rheinhardt shook his head: "If you really want to kill me, or make a way to kill me, at least you will find a night when no one is quietly lurking in, and…As soon as you enter the door, you should immediately kill the maid who just took it, and then you can say a few words, or I may believe it. ”

    “Is it just possible?”

    "Mm."Rheinhardt waved his fingers and said: "First, if you really want to kill me, at least, if you are not too stupid, you shouldn't do it today. I just took thousands of armored horses to run to you. When I was still alive and kicking, I only died less than one night…People who have a little bit of snacks will have a lot of doubts. And that thousands of cavalry, I was born and died with them along the way, there are always some feelings, I am dead, how do you tell them? Moreover, the Green Lord in the city, who was a teacher at the Imperial Academy, was my teacher. I am dead. How do you explain to him? Count, even if you want to kill me, you have to find a good opportunity to let me shut up forever…For example, if you show extra intimacy and trust in me, make everyone believe that I am your trusted aide direct, and then you send me to carry out a very dangerous task and make a few more ' Unfortunate coincidence ', let me die honorably in battle, and you will make another impassioned speech at my funeral, and finally drop a few more crocodile tears …Well, if you can do this, then 70% or 80% are qualified. ”

“……Only seven or eight percent? ”Shaar smiled.

    “Yes, there are a lot of details – the problem with the details is that you can never make the best estimate in advance. So before the specific things happen, I can't make too accurate judgments – the chance of 70% or 80% is already great. ”

    Shaar stared at the guy for a moment and finally smiled: "You are a very interesting person."

    “I am a very terrifying person.”Rheinhardt suddenly squinted and said: "Terifying people are generally not too interesting. My teacher once gave me a comment. He said that I am the kind of person who is suitable for living in the dark. I am a natural person, ruthless and ruthless, in order to achieve my ideals, I can do anything – Lord, would you think such a person is 'fun'? ”

    Shaar indulged for a while: "I am very curious, since you are so smart, then you must also think about it. In case I want to kill you, what method do you use to protect?"

    "Haha!"Rheinhardt smiled: "It's very simple…Phillips is one of my amulets. ”

    What’s it say?

    Eh…Rheinhardt simply sat up straight and looked at Shaar: "Even if you kill me, there are two possibilities." First, you don't accept the fake order, and then kill me in order to punish my guilty falsification of the imperial order. This is my most fearless, because I brought four thousand cavalry, and these four thousand cavalry have feelings for me. If you kill me, you will lose your heart! Second, you accepted the fake order, but to keep it secret, killing me – this is a complicated situation. First you have to kill two people, me and Phillips…It is impossible for two people to kill at the same time. There is always a problem. So who kills first and then who kills? This question is worthy of scrutiny. You should be a smart person – my teacher said that you are very smart. I am very glad that you are a smart person, because the idea of ​​a smart person is easier to calculate. For security reasons, you can only kill Phillips first. Still, the impact of killing me is too great. First kill a small impact, the difficulty is relatively low, Phillips is not outstanding in so many people under your subordinates, let him die inexplicably, there will not be too Many people pursue this issue. Well, once Phillips is dead, no matter what he dies, I will be wary immediately…At that time, I had preparedness. Do you think it would be easy to kill me? So, before Phillips died, I was safe. ”

    Shaar nodded.

    Then he looked at Rheinhardt: "What do you want?"

    "Yeah?"

    “What do you want?”Shaar said faintly: "money, power, status, honor, woman…You risked such a big risk and helped me to fake something that made me profitably. It seemed to be good for me. No one will do this kind of harmless thing for no reason. Since you have taken such a big risk, do you always have some plots of your own? I have to know what you want, can I meet your needs – before that, I can't trust you. ”

    To-BeRheinhardt’s eyes suddenly became fanatical from indifference: “I only want ideals. I can not want a woman, can endure hunger and thirst, can be hurt and bleed, and can struggle back and forth in life and death. When necessary, I can die…But it must be for my dreams! As long as I can advance the idea in my heart, I don't care to do anything, even if I lift the butcher knife to anyone! ”

    "What is your ideal?"Asked Shaar.

    Rheinhardt hung down, after a moment of silence, he actually said something that made Shaar a bit surprised.

    I…Love this country. ”

    This young man who is considered to be "smart" is gently saying such a sentence.

    "I love this country very much and love Byzantine."Rheinhardt’s eyes are very fanatical, but the tone of speaking is calm and scary!

    "From the time I was studying, I learned the history of the empire, from the greatness of the founding emperor, the eternal feat of the first generation of Duke Tulip, so many names will be like clouds, and the strategist will be like the rain, and there will be so many small kingdoms dotted around the south side of the mainland. Unification, creating such a vast empire with a vast territory…All this makes me very passionate! The empire has survived for thousands of years, and has experienced countless storms and bumps, but once again, the fire is reborn. Even if it is a great suffering, our Byzantine nation still survives the storm once and for all. The empire is still a complete unity. Love it all! When I was studying at the Imperial College, I walked through the square every day and saw the sculptures and portraits of the famous dynasties. I will tell myself that one day, I will become one of them…I did not hesitate to shed all my last blood for this empire. ”

    "But you are not an eagle."Shaar inserted it.

“……NoRheinhardt smiled and even had some disdain and contempt: "Eagle?" I don't think they are hawks. In my opinion, they are nothing but foolish loyal to the emperor's eagle dog. I am loyal to this country, but it is by no means the one sitting on the throne. ”

    Shaar silently, did not say anything.

    "Imperial Capital, the eagle, the aristocrat faction of the royal family, the Senate faction, the military faction…Unfortunately, no one is really fighting for this empire, everyone is staring at their own little interest. The emperor wants to keep his throne and keep his hat, so he will not hesitate to throw away half of the empire! When warlords want to have power, they will not hesitate to split this complete empire. Even the eagle system – they may still have some solider discouragement, and perhaps courage to make sacrifices – can be more terrifying! Because these people simply don't understand why they are going to die, to bleed, to sacrifice! They paid for life, blood, everything they paid…It is not for the empire at all, but for the one who sits on the throne, one person. Even if the man made a move to sell the country and made a move to abandon a large territory, these eagle systems still sacrifice for that person…I will not take such a sacrifice! ”

    The phrase "I don't take it" will make Shaar speechless.

    After a while, Shaar seemed to smile: "So what do you want?"

    "I want this country to revive, and want it to stand in this world again and become the strongest empire! Even if possible, in my lifetime, I hope to see Odin in the north and annex Atlantis in the sea! The great achievements that have never been destroyed are like the common human race and the only human empire before Wannian! I want this country to be the most powerful and stable existence. Anyone who makes a move that harms this country, even the emperor, is my enemy! ”

    Great tone…

    Shaar frowned.

    He suddenly remembered a word that was mentioned in the notes written by Old Man that he had seen: pure patriots.

    "This country is the country of one country, not the country of one person."

    "So, you should be a Senate faction?"Shaar smiled: "Isn't Senate promoting these? Weaken the imperial power and let Senate pick the representative…"

    "That is just a joke."Rheinhardt shook his head: "Or, it is an unrealistic ideal. In the current situation, it is impossible for our country to have such a system…Senate’s vision is meaningful in itself, but it’s too radical…I have to admire the people who came up with this idea when I started the country before the millennium. Unfortunately, this idea cannot be seen in advance…In short, our people lack the concern for this country, lack the consciousness of self-dominance, and even the people's wisdom is too low…Even in the most prosperous and most civilized Imperial Capital Osgiliath, only half of the citizens have received education, knowledge and civilization are still in the hands of a few people. In this case, you make those illiterate, even the most How do people who have basic knowledge do not discuss national events? ”

    "Then you advocate…"

    Autocracy

    This answer made Shaar laugh: "It seems to be very contradictory to what you said before…The country is the country of one country, not the country of one person. If it is dictatorial, does it become another…"

    "That depends on who the dictator is."Rheinhardt sneered: "The emperor is obviously not a suitable dictator. He does not love this country, he only loves his throne and his royal family. For his throne and royalty, he can sell the interests of this country, so he is not a dictator. I hope to find a dictator who can meet the interests of this country. If the dictator's actions are in the interest of the country, I don't mind giving him life! ”

    Said, Rheinhardt stared and looked at Shaar.

    Shaar was a little bit stunned by the guy's frantic gaze. After a while, he frowned. "You think I am…Don't forget, I am not a Byzantine at all. ”

    "What does it matter?"Rheinhardt smiled: "As long as what you do is good for this empire, I am willing to work for you. As for who you are, I don't care…Even if you are not human, other races, I don't care! As long as you do things, you can make this empire stable and make it powerful! ”

“……Once I violate these standards…"

    "Then I will not hesitate to stand up to your enemy."Rheinhardt answered without hesitation.

“……It’s really straightforward. ”Shaar touched his nose and chin and looked at the young guy: "That is, even if I use you, I will never get your true loyalty?"

    "There is no unconditional loyalty forever in the world."Rheinhardt also laughed: "At least…Before you do anything that hurts the interests of this country, I will never betray you. Even if someone uses a higher official position, more wealth, and attractive beauty, I will never betray you…At this point, I think few people can do it. ”

    Shaar thought for a moment and recognized this statement from Rheinhardt.

    This guy is a thorough idealist – idealist, and indeed can't buy anything with the worldly.

    The two young men looked at each other for a while, and Rheinhardt suddenly smiled. His teeth were white and he said slowly: "Now, did I pass your interview? Marshal Lord? ”

“……YesShaar stood up, but he has gone out: "I hope that you will raise your wounds as soon as possible. There are still many things waiting for you to do, my…General! ”

    When Shaar walked to the door, Rheinhardt suddenly spoke again: "Lord Shaar."

    "Yeah?"

    "There is a problem, although it is only my personal curiosity, but…"Rheinhardt’s face is like a smile: “I said what I want, then…”

    The young man sighed a word, but directly poked into Shaar's heart!

    So,What do you want, what is it? ”
