The King of Special Warfare-Chapter 461 - Ambitious Person · Overwhelming Might (Part I)
Chapter 461 Ambitious Person · Overwhelming Might (Part I)
In his country, his capital, and his power center, he was requested by the foreign marshal to give up his seat.
This could be considered the most humiliating moment in the history of Wulan State.
It was also the most humiliating moment in President Carlos’s life.
There was a flash of anger in his eyes, and he looked up into Li Tianlan’s eyes.
This was the Office of the President.
He sat there. In the conference room of the high-level officials, he was the core of the whole Wulan State.
“Li Tianlan said that it wasn’t my seat?”
“It was my seat!”
That was what Carlos thought.
So in the meeting room still full of the smell of blood, he said it directly.
“Your Highness, this is my place,” President Carlos said.
Li Tianlan suddenly laughed.
Given his appearance, he really had nothing to do with handsome. His ordinary face looked a little delicate because of his young age, but Li Tianlan, who was laughing at this moment, had an incomparably elegant demeanor, cold and awe-inspiring.
He looked back at the high-level officials in the conference room and asked calmly, “Who can testify that for you?”
At this moment, Li Tianlan stood here. Even though he was seriously injured and his face was pale, he still had a sense of aggressiveness.
He was majestic and awe-inspiring.
The whole meeting room was silent.
No one made a sound when their president was asked to vacate his position, neither those who advocated fighting nor those who claimed to sue for peace.
Be it the mysterious politicians or the iron-willed generals, everyone’s blood seemed to freeze with the death of General Joel.
Shame would, of course, make people embarrassed.
But being alive was more important than anything else.
Anything.
Carlos glanced around the conference room at every high-level official.
Every high-level official who looked at him subconsciously turned his head.
Even the Prime Minister turned his head.
Carlos’s face was a little pale.
In a short period of time, he only had one feeling when he and everyone looked at each other.
The feeling of being betrayed.
Li Tianlan’s fingers tapped on the table in no hurry, and he said calmly, “Stand up.”
His voice was very light.
However, Carlos saw a hint of undisguised killing intent in his eyes.
Carlos finally recognized the identity of the man.
The other side was the marshal of Zhongzhou State’s Special Warfare System, not belonging to the military.
He was the youngest Highness in the Dark World.
He was the madman who broke the deadlock of Eastern Europe without hesitation.
In one day, three superiors of the Invincible Realm died, and two of them were killed by him.
Now he had the world’s most elite troops. He stood here, almost irresistible.
The youngest Highness.
The most elite troops.
The former conquered Rekvia in one day.
The latter defeated Wulan State in one day.
Invincible.
Carlos slowly stood up and looked at the high-ranking officials who lowered their heads, as if they couldn’t see this scene. Then he wore a self-mocking smile and said, “Today, you not only gave up me but also Wulan State—our country.”
No one was going to support a president who was forced to relinquish his position in his mansion. After today, he was destined to stand down, but who would those who were still sitting at the highest level of Wulan State represent in the future?
Carlos suddenly discovered that he was no longer qualified to think about it.
He slowly turned around and walked out of the door.
A voice rang out behind him.
“Stop.”
Carlos’s body turned stiff. He turned to look at Li Tianlan and asked, “What can I do for you, Your Highness?”
“Before today, Zhongzhou State and Wulan State had always been close friends.”
Li Tianlan said calmly, “Friends can have a misunderstanding, which can be solved by eating and apologizing after the event. But the misunderstanding between countries will kill people. The Jiang family of South America intended to encroach on Wulan State and even wanted to mount a coup here. In order to ensure the stability of Wulan State, I led the troops from hundreds of miles away and attacked the enemy, but I was regarded as the enemy by Wulan State.”
Li Tianlan laughed, his smile cold and ferocious.
The luxurious conference table began to burst soundlessly, with bits of wood flying everywhere. As the Sword Energy swept by, a large amount of dust fell to the ground.
“More than 2,000 elite soldiers are buried in Eastern Europe. Is this all because of our enthusiasm? Zhongzhou State has a strong sense of responsibility, but should my army die?! About this matter, Wulan State, Oga State, and Ross State should shoulder the primary responsibility! Instead of giving me an explanation, you asked me what else you could do for me. What do you say I want?”
Carlos instinctively sensed the danger.
This kind of danger was not because of Li Tianlan’s killing intent, but because he was in a high position and had been instinctively accustomed to countless conspiracies.
His hands trembled subconsciously, and he forced himself to be calm. “Prime Minister Reeker can give you an explanation that you want, Your Highness.”
Reeker had been silent since Li Tianlan appeared. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Tianlan, his eyes a little nervous and even somewhat pleading.
General Tostel, the new patriarch of Rekvia, put a cup of coffee in front of Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan picked it up and took a sip.
In a short period, countless eyes met and shifted away in the meeting room, and the atmosphere became extremely strange.
Li Tianlan glanced thoughtfully at the intense Prime Minister Reeker and then shook his head. He looked at Carlos and said blandly, “I just want to talk to you about this matter.”
Prime Minister Reeker, who was in a cold sweat in a short period, breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Li Tianlan, and a touch of gratitude flashed through his eyes.
No matter how ridiculous Li Tianlan’s words were, at least it was true that he wanted Wulan State to give him an explanation.
And this was normal. Tonight, it was Li Tianlan who won. If Jiang Qiansong won tonight, he would also ask for an explanation.
The key point was that it was easy to explain, but it was not easy, either.
Li Tianlan’s demand was understandable.
But who dared to talk to Li Tianlan among the high-level officials of Wulan State?
It was a matter of life and death.
The enormous amount of pressure Zhongzhou State had been bearing in a day, the sacrifice of more than 2,000 soldiers, and the Li family that was eager for all kinds of forces…
The price that Li Tianlan was about to offer—the so-called explanation he wanted, would definitely be unimaginably high.
All kinds of conditions, including territory-ceding and compensation, were enough to be the shame to the history of Wulan State.
The saddest thing was that there was almost no room for Wulan State to negotiate with Li Tianlan.
There were only 5,000 elites deployed by the Snowdance Corps.
Moreover, they carried out operations in batches. Three thousand people directly defeated the smaller part of the military force of Wulan State with almost no heavy firepower. What would happen if the twenty thousand soldiers of the Snowdance Corps were to act at the same time?
Under such circumstances, no matter what request Li Tianlan made, Wulan State could only accept it.
The name of whoever talked about this matter with Li Tianlan on behalf of Wulan State would be recorded in the history of the country.
It would not go down in history as an honor.
The price one had to pay for surrendering a country’s sovereign rights under humiliating terms was to leave behind a bad reputation for thousands of years.
There were only two people who were qualified to leave behind a bad reputation for thousands of years.
The first one was President Carlos.
The second one was Prime Minister Reeker.
Li Tianlan chose Carlos.
From this moment on, Reeker knew that he was safe, while Carlos was completely abandoned.
Zhongzhou State abandoned Carlos, so it must need a prestigious person in power to take charge of the current situation.
Reeker was the only candidate.
He could even become the president and a key pawn for Li Tianlan to stay in Wulan State to check Rekvia.
Today, at this moment, everything could be said to be a national disaster for Wulan State.
However, Prime Minister Reeker suddenly realized that his future could be infinitely bright.
He froze on the spot, and his mind was complicated. For a moment, he seemed to forget how much he had to pay for this kind of bright future.
“Your Highness!”
Carlos suddenly raised his voice. “You’re in Wulan State!”
“Yes.”
Li Tianlan said calmly, “My Wulan State.”
All of a sudden, Carlos felt powerless. He stood there, his face blank and his heart dead.
“I cannot fully represent Zhongzhou State, but here, I can represent the Snowdance Corps and the Arctic Ocean Command. So from my personal standpoint, I have two requirements. First, within three days, hand over all the bodies of the victims of the Snowdance Corps. They fought for Wulan State but were killed by Wulan State. The compensation for each martyr in each country must not be less than two million yuan.
“Second, withdraw your accusation at the United Nations and apologize to Zhongzhou State at the United Nations conference, clarifying the misunderstanding and exposing the conspiracy of the Jiang family of South America. Zhongzhou State will be responsible for protecting the security of Wulan State’s territory and preventing today’s event from repeating itself. Wulan State has the obligation to establish a garrison base for Zhongzhou State. As a good testimony of the reconciliation of the two countries, the national flag of Wulan State should always be hung with the Star Flag of Zhongzhou State.
“Third…”
“Your Highness, you said you had only two requirements.”
A senior official finally couldn’t help but stand up.
He looked furious, and his eyes were full of shame, but his voice was extremely weak. He seemed to be timid.
Li Tianlan glanced at him and said after thinking for a while, “Did I say that?”
The senior official opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Li Tianlan said expressionlessly, “Shut up. If you don’t shut up, I will let you close your eyes.”
The pale-faced senior official slowly sat down.
Li Tianlan kept silent for a while.
He seemed to have forgotten what he wanted to say, shook his head, and waved his hand. “That’s all. These are my requests. Who agrees, and who opposes?”
Silence pervaded the room.
But the unprecedented heaviness suddenly weighed down on the heart of every senior official.
The Arctic Ocean Command had been longing to infiltrate Wulan State for more than 20 years, and the latter had finally lost its defense. This was an unimaginable loss for Wulan State.
And everyone knew that this was only Li Tianlan’s request, not Zhongzhou State’s.
Li Tianlan asked for a lot, and it could also be said to be a little, but it was not important.
What mattered was that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Zhongzhou State would definitely take away everything that should be taken away.
But no one spoke in the conference room.
No one dared to do so.
At such a delicate moment, as a winner, what Li Tianlan said stood for the imperial edict.
Li Tianlan would certainly make anyone who dared to speak to close his eyes.
Li Tianlan waited for a while. Seeing that no one was talking, he nodded and said directly, “The meeting is over.”
Again, no objections were raised.
The senior officials stood up and walked out of the conference room in turn.
President Carlos did not leave.
Prime Minister Reeker did not leave, either.
Qin Xilai, who followed Li Tianlan in, nodded to Li Tianlan, followed Tostel out of the conference room, and closed the door of the conference room.
In the entire meeting room, there were only Li Tianlan and the two most powerful men in Wulan State.
Li Tianlan looked at Prime Minister Reeker and spoke in a calm tone, “You are very smart.”
The prime minister who had never bowed to anyone in Wulan State bowed deeply to Li Tianlan. It took him a long time to straighten up.
Li Tianlan casually tapped the coffee cup in front of him.
Reeker stood up, took the cup, and headed for the coffee machine.
Li Tianlan glanced at Carlos and said calmly, “Sit down.”
Carlos seemed to have completely calmed down. He slowly sat on the chair beside Li Tianlan and said, “Reeker is not bad. Your choice is right.”
“But that’s not enough.”
Li Tianlan slowly said, “Zhongzhou State needs an obedient dog.”
Carlos looked at Li Tianlan and asked ironically, “You’re the one who needs an obedient dog, I guess?”
Li Tianlan smiled and didn’t speak.
Carlos remained silent for a moment and then said softly, “I’m going to die tonight?”
His tone was subtle and complex.
Li Tianlan looked at him for a while, then said blandly, “Any last words?”
