Chapter 251 The best assists in the game
Although the nobles were all incomprehensible about the magical actions of Mr. Elbarrea, this was the money he had paid for his own country, and it was not easy for others to blame too much.
What surprised Ryan was that the talented young master Lufas, who had a well-known name, did not persuade his father's behavior of making a fortune, but instead smiled and exposed the topic.
‘What is Lufas thinking? Or has he persuaded him privately before but returned in vain?’
The rest of the morning meeting was basically about the recent arms arrangements of each territory.
These boring digital reports made most people feel indifferent, and Duke Kane waved his hand to his subordinate Marquis Recon to handle the work.
Lunch is a banquet held by the Duke of Elbarrea, which facilitates the rare gathering of nobles from various territorial states to communicate together.
Ryan was trapped in a siege of some kind of trouble, just like Lufas.
Some of the little nobles' daughters took advantage of the opportunity to join them around them. Although they did not blatantly make a flirting posture due to the nobles' reserve, the affectionate eyes made Ryan's whole body feel a little cold.
After finally escaping the Shura field under Angelica's funny rescue, Ryan wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.
Looking at Lufas, who was at ease in the center of the field, Ryan shook his head and said, "I am really ashamed of this. He has passed by the flowers and leaves that don't touch his body."
Angelica smiled and handed Ryan a glass of red wine. "Lufasqing has a lot of time to attend the Lingbang meeting and attend various important occasions on behalf of her father. Maybe she has been used to it for a long time, look over there."
Following Angelica's finger, the noble ladies who had just lost their goal because Ryan left the center of the venue quickly found a new goal.
Patrick was in a dilemma at this time, looking around among the noble girls, as if he was trying to get out.
"oh?"
Ryan looked at Patrick in surprise, "I thought he had been used to this kind of social banquet in Schalrant State. It seems that Patrick just shouted loudly."
After the banquet, the younger generation who followed their fathers to attend the Lingbang Conference came to a deputy venue prepared in advance by Lufas.
Due to the incompetence of Duke Elbarrea, Lufas did not dare to leave the main venue for too long. After entrusting this place to Ryan, he politely bid farewell to everyone and returned to his father.
Ryan stood in the main seat and patted his hands gently. "Everyone, thank you for your willingness to respond to my call to attend the younger generation's meeting. I don't like to go around the circle, so I'll get straight to the topic."
As the waiter sent the information of the meeting to the young nobles present, Ryan smiled and said, "You should have heard of the general content of this meeting before, to discuss whether to apply to the elders to abolish some untimely traditions."
The Duke of Kane had long been aware of this meeting initiated by Ryan. He handed over the meeting here to his son, but like most people, he was not optimistic about Ryan's proposal.
The fact is as many people predicted. Although many nobles did not express their opposition to their identity reasons, their disapproval looked very clearly on their faces.
Ryan looked at the choice that was mostly abstentions, and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Okay, I probably understand your opinions. Most people still tend to maintain the status quo. It seems that you are very optimistic about the situation of the noble alliance in the future civil war."
A feminine man with purple hair raised his hand from the audience. This man was the orthodox successor of the Earls of Haidu family. He reached out to him and signaled, "Mr. Vincent Florard, please speak."
The young man, known as Vincent by Ryan, stood up and saluted the descendants of more than a hundred high-ranking nobles, and then said loudly, "Everyone, I have different opinions from you. I think this civil war may fall into a long stalemate."
Vincent's speech caused a small commotion, and a young man with green hair raised his hand and stood up with Ryan's permission to question it.
"Mr. Vincent, I am the eldest son of Friesen Barus, Marquis of Kruchen State, and I disagree with you."
After introducing himself and saluting everyone, Friesen frowned and asked his own question. "I would like to ask, why do you think the noble alliance will be in a stalemate with the regular army? Are you serious about this judgment even though you know that we have Patanguai and mecha soldiers?"
Vincent bowed politely and said, "Everyone should have heard of the prestigious military school of Thorz. I am now studying in this military school."
"From a logistical perspective, the aristocratic alliance that controlled the five major cities after occupying the imperial capital did take the dominance, but please don't forget a little..."
Vincent said seriously, "The gap in arms, even if we have mecha soldiers in the early stages of the war, we are still at an absolute disadvantage in war equipment."
"The armored vehicles of the Lingbang Army are completely toys in front of the main battle tank No. 18, and the number of mecha soldiers is not enough for us to counterattack the strongholds of the regular army."
Vincent looked at the thoughtful young nobles present and finally came to a conclusion, "So I think that at least in the early stages of the war, both sides will be in a stalemate."
"With the support of Aragon and Zachson Iron Mine, can the noble alliance that produces a large number of mecha soldiers in the future win? I dare not assert that the regular army of the Ereponian Empire, which has the most powerful army on the mainland, is really so easy to deal with?"
Friesen held his chin and thought for a while, then expressed his gratitude to Vincent.
Although he recognized Vincent's analysis, he still maintained his opinion and believed that the noble alliance would still win in the end.
Taking the friendly discussion between the two of them as an opportunity, the descendants of senior nobles from other territorial states also raised their hands to speak one after another.
After some of the noble children who received strict military education popularized science, some people who were originally blindly optimistic also gradually began to re-examine the direction of the war.
Some visionary young people even began to think about problems they had never thought about before... In the event of the aristocratic alliance, where should the aristocrats who participated in the civil war go? How will the royal family and the prime minister conduct a post-war liquidation after victory.
This originally dull meeting finally became active after Vincent's speech.
Under Ryan's calm host, everyone expressed their opinions and made some insightful discussions on their views on the civil war, the current situation of the empire and the future development.
Ryan glanced at Vincent in a faint way, and the other party blinked in response.
That's right, Vincent, an acquaintance that Ryan knew since childhood, was the one he arranged to heat up this meeting.
Of course, he must be more than one. Several descendants of the nobles from Haidu, and even Angelica were ready to speak, but she didn't expect the atmosphere to be so hot.
"Play!"
Seeing that the discussions on the venue gradually became scarce, Ryan clapped his hands again to attract everyone's attention.
"Everyone, from the discussion just now, I think you should have gained new results. Now let's go back to the original topic."
Ryan held his hands on the conference table, glanced at the young nobles present with bright eyes, and the invisible momentum that suddenly enveloped the venue surprised everyone present.
