Chapter 13331334 It’s your turn to choose
In a pretty good-looking house on Long Island, Lions I was eating. His appetite was quite good, because he could sleep soundly on a soft bed for the past two days and no longer had to endure the harsh conditions in a cabin at sea. shake.
This is definitely a happy thing for a person who has not been in contact with the ocean since he was a child, so he has a big appetite and eats a lot of delicious food every day.
Because he is an emperor, the Tang Empire also gives him adequate treatment: as long as he has a request, it will usually be satisfied.
For example, he can order food, walk in the yard, bask in the sun, read newspapers, and have TV...
There are no restraints in the whole room. The windows are clear and there are no railings, because this is just an ordinary room, not a ball cage.
In fact, in Long Island, the Emperor of the Lions Empire without an ID card could not escape at all. Unless he was willing to swim to the Eastern Continent by himself, he could not even buy a train ticket from Longgang to Weigang.
The TV was playing news about the Tang Empire's battles near the old capital. The colorful pictures gave Lions I a feeling of traveling back in time.
He could only watch black and white TV in his St. Lynes Palace because there was no color TV tower built there before the war...
One should be built, Lions I thought silently, because he really liked this kind of color TV: the clearer picture showed the cruelty of the battlefield more intuitively.
The news reporter wore a steel helmet and kept talking about the fierce fighting on the front line through the shaky camera. Far behind him, a shell just fell, kicking up dust that covered the sky.
Everyone subconsciously shrank their necks. The huge explosion shook the surrounding ground, and the whole world seemed to be collapsing.
"Just now, just now! A 155mm howitzer of our army opened fire and hit an enemy bunker! Accurate hit! My God, did everyone see it! The soil fell on my shoulders! I was at least 100 meters away from there. 100 meters!" the war reporter shouted excitedly into the microphone.
Maybe the loud noise just now was too loud, and his ears were not very sensitive, so his voice was a little bold.
Lines I looked at the scene of the earth shaking and biting the chicken leg in his mouth, and he was more excited than the soldiers of the Tang Army who participated in the battle.
Seeing the organized soldiers of the Tang Army rushing out from behind the reporter, thinking about the Qin Army's position and launching an attack, Lions I silently prayed for failure in his heart. The more tragic, the better.
But soon, he saw the appearance of the 59 tank, covering the infantry and continuing to attack. Tracer bullets fired from the machine guns flew across the battlefield. The Tang Army's armored vehicles also came out, and kept firing at the Qin Army in the distance. bombardment.
The whole scene was quite exciting, and soon the soldiers of the Tang Army approached the Qin Army's trenches. The fierce gun battle between the two sides gradually stopped as the 59 tanks ran over the Qin Army's trenches, and the news footage ended here.
"Thank you to the frontline reporters for the interview! So far, our army has penetrated into the Qin Army's positions and surrounded the old capital of Dahua from the southeast. Soon, we will liberate it and return it to the people's hands !" On the TV, the announcer switched back to the news studio and solemnly announced the results of the frontline troops. Lions I threw the cleaned chicken leg bones back onto the plate, wiped his mouth with the napkin next to him, and sighed with regret.
His prayer that the Tang army would be beaten back obviously had no effect, just like his previous prayer that his navy could successfully attack Long Island.
Here, he must eat up his own food. This is the only requirement for him. It is reasonable and reasonable to avoid waste. Although the Tang Empire has been able to ensure that the vast majority of civilians have enough food and clothing, the rejection of extravagance and waste is still the main theme of this empire.
The overall public opinion in Tang Dynasty society was still dominated by frugality, and only nobles and businessmen would choose higher consumption. Everything developed within a certain range, and the control power of the Tang Empire was dozens of orders of magnitude higher than that of other countries.
“Come in!” Hearing the knock on the door, Lions I casually ordered. He is still very respectable here, at least most of the time he will knock on the door before someone comes in as a sign of respect.
Lines I was very satisfied with this point. Although he would not imagine that one day he would treat Tang Mo captive in this way, but he would still be somewhat relieved to see him safeguarding the imperial power.
Two officers he had never seen before walked in, followed closely by Admiral Lu Qianshan. He was promoted because he completely annihilated the Lanes Imperial Navy Fleet and had just become the Admiral of the Tang Empire.
It was not easy for him to get this rank, so he dressed up very coquettishly and stood in front of Lions I with a medal on his chest - this was his great benefactor, so he had to express his gratitude.
Seeing two unfamiliar faces, Lions I felt that the atmosphere was not right. He frowned slightly, put down the napkin in his hand, and asked, "Who are these two?"
A strange officer who entered the door walked to the TV, turned off the TV, and then replied: "We are here to confirm something with you. You need to choose this matter yourself, because your son...he has already chosen pass."
Another unfamiliar officer continued: "Leins II, your son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Reins Empire, has decided to recognize your death and succeed you as emperor of the empire. So, theoretically, you are dead."
“But our benevolent Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still decided to give you a choice.” Another strange officer took out his pistol, which made Lions I turn pale with fear.
The other party put the pistol on the table, took out a bottle of unknown liquid from his pocket, and said: "Poison, pistol, whatever..."
"Of course, this is not a choice." Seeing Lions I slumped in a chair, who was about to pee with fear, Lu Qianshan decided not to scare the emperor's captive: "You can choose to live on Dragon Island as a civilian...or Choose death…”
“…” Lions I knew that this was not mercy at all, but that he was left to cause trouble for the Lions Empire... If he had been stronger and more decent, he should have grabbed the poison and drank it all.
It's a pity... He didn't dare to do this. If he wanted to die, he wouldn't be a captured emperor. When his fleet was wiped out, he should have jumped into the sea to give himself dignity.
