The war is almost over.
This was Dulin's first feeling. The cabinet, which had been busy with war and international issues, began to pick up domestic internal affairs work again, which meant that the war was almost over.
This war has lasted for more than two months since the outbreak. During this period, the empire's forces have been blocked in the Federation's third city chain. Both sides have invested a large amount of troops, so that the third city chain has been blocked. It has become an urban meat grinder, and the brutal street fighting has caused soldiers from both sides to be sprinkled on the land like fertilizer.
What accelerated the war was the surprise attack on Saint-Loduo. A large amount of wealth was transferred from the federation to the imperial capital. The federation took the initiative to request armistice negotiations for the first time. Mr. Kaile, who had been missing for more than half a year, began to appear frequently again. newspapers, and even participated in two political TV programs to discuss war issues with other politicians.
Everything indicates that this war has come to an end. Of course, most ordinary people may not feel this way yet. They feel that the war will continue, but in fact this war is ideologically over.
This is also directly related to the imperial army's inability to break through the third city chain. If the imperial army can quickly break through the third city chain and fully invade the federal hinterland, maybe the empire will be able to persist for a while.
It is a pity that the third city chain cannot be broken through, and continuing to fight becomes meaningless. It is just a futile waste of troops and financial resources.
But then again, this war was won after all, and it would only be a good thing for the empire, not a bad thing. The outcome of the war will inspire the entire society, and the Shining Star Empire will soon become a superpower in the world.
In such an environment, Du Lin fell in love.
The object of his love is Magus's niece. One of Magus's two children is dead, the other married very late, and the only child is still a boy. Dulin is not gay, society and aristocrats He also wouldn't allow knowing a man to go up to him, so he could only find a girl who was a little younger than Du Lin from his sister.
Choosing the Magus line was a decision Dulin made after a long period of consideration. Originally, Princess Felija was also under his consideration. After all, Her Majesty the Saint is extremely powerful in the north. As the last Grand Duke, her status is definitely unimaginable to Du Lin. Being married to Princess Felijia, Du Lin can get a lot of benefits from it.
However, this choice also has a fatal flaw, that is, the Holy Lady has many heirs, and Felijia is only one of them. She may not become the next generation heir of the family in the future. Once she loses this opportunity, Du Lin will soon be This family "annexed" away.
No matter how much benefit he gets from here, these people will find ways to make him spit out the benefits exponentially to feed the family. This is also the main reason why a family can prosper for a long time.
On the contrary, it was Mags who stood out. As Prime Minister of the Empire, Mags himself did not run a large force, and his family was not considered large. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Mags himself is synonymous with power, but the complexity of this family is far lower than that of other families, and Mags does not have a suitable successor to inherit the family's future.
His favorite son died on the side of the road because of drunk driving. The other child was more obedient, but not outstanding enough. Things happened in this family that all the nobles found difficult. There was no one who could handle the next generation to shoulder the responsibility of the family. flag.
Maybe, but at least Mags hasn't shown it yet. At the same time, he has been the leader of the New Party for more than 20 years, and has been elected prime minister for four consecutive terms. His intangible political assets are very rich, even stronger than Her Majesty's.
Above all, it was Maggs' political legacy that made Dühring jealous.
To say it is a political legacy does not mean that Maggs is dying, but that his political career is coming to an end. He will definitely retire after this term. It would be a pity if no one can inherit such a huge political legacy. . Dulin had no choice but to bear this responsibility reluctantly. In addition, he is now a member of the New Party and is related to Magers. It should not be a big problem to legitimately inherit most of his political legacy.
Dulin is a very decisive person. Once he has made a decision, he immediately takes action. After meeting Mags's niece, he immediately became good friends with the girl and is moving towards a relationship that goes beyond friendship. Growing.
"I didn't expect your life as a child to be so interesting..." The girl held on to the guardrail beside the flower bed with one hand and covered her smile slightly with the other hand to prevent herself from being too rude. Time with Du Lin always passes quickly and is very happy. This guy is very lovable, especially to little girls. What he says is always so humorous and such a gentleman. In addition, he has a strong personality. The confidence that can overflow and infect others is enough to make him a charming person.
Du Lin knew how to become "good friends" with these little girls. Just as commoners yearned for the life of aristocrats, many aristocratic boys and girls occasionally yearned for the life of commoners. Before they were infected by fame and fortune, aristocrats and Common people are all equally pure.
He turned his head and glanced at the girl in the wind. Her pale golden hair stretched gracefully in the air, and her fair skin was as admirable as porcelain. She was stuffed with dog food and wanted to hide it and lick her wounds. The sun cast its angry afterglow, covering the girl with a beautiful coat. He stretched out his hand and touched the girl's face in the girl's surprised eyes.
There was a hint of tobacco smell in the girl's nose, and her face was filled with a masculine scent that she couldn't describe. She stopped smiling and turned sideways shyly, but did not avoid Du Lin's palm.
It was a different taste from my father, a completely different feeling.
The noisy wind suddenly became quiet, everything became wonderful, the air was filled with intoxicating fragrance, the heart in the chest was beating wildly, and the girl's breathing gradually became faster.
She has never been in love, although she has always been pursued by others. As the niece of Mags, she has carried many auras since she was born, and many people want to be her boyfriend. Partner, you will now have the opportunity to enter a new stage of life.
How she will arrange her future life is not within her control. Sometimes she also wonders what kind of husband her family will arrange for her. Most of the time, it is a girl's pink and innocent fantasy, which is often sweet. But she also understands that her vision for the future is not necessarily correct. She sometimes feels that her identity is a kind of imprisonment and harm to herself. She has no way to enjoy it like a girl from an ordinary family. Live, enjoy the pursuit of others, and enjoy the love of your own choice.
After waking up from the dream, you have to surrender to reality.
Until I met Du Lin.
The girl was a little scared when she saw Du Lin for the first time, because she saw something in Du Lin that existed in her uncle Mags, which made her breathless. With one look, A single movement or casual expression can control a person's emotions.
This is a very powerful person. If a girl thinks that way, he may be very old-fashioned, and his life will be very boring, with no sentiment and no sweet surprises. She didn't like the "blind date" arranged by Mags for her. She hoped that Mr. Dulin could reject Mags and reject her, but she was destined to be disappointed.
After Du Lin said that he could be friends first, he took her out for a walk. That walk greatly changed the girl's impression of Du Lin, and it could even be said to be full of surprises.
