Chapter 1,286 Dominic Is Critically Ill

The year 296 of the Britannia Empire and the year 218 of the Holy Hiran Empire.

January 28th.

In early January of this year, Elianmuya was spreading the news that Dominic, the first marshal of the Holy Hiran Empire, was seriously ill and was about to die.

Regarding this rumor, some people were indifferent, some were extremely happy, but more people were worried.

Even the most ordinary civilians know that their country's military power is no longer what it used to be, and its military power is weak.

Under the current national conditions, if even their country's First Marshal leaves, then they really don't know what the future fate of their country will be.

…

…

In the city center of Elianmuya, there is a tavern called "Bacchus".

Xilan people generally like to drink, so taverns are opened everywhere.

This tavern named "Bacchus" is extraordinary; it is not an ordinary tavern.

If you go to the streets of Elemuya, catch a local at random, and ask him: "Do you know the Bacchus pub?"

Then this person will definitely say: "I know, I know.", and then only tell you where the "Bacchus" tavern is.

Dionysus is located at a crossroads.

The south road leads to the palace, the east and west roads lead to the settlements of nobles, and the south road leads to the bustling downtown.

Just from the geographical location, it is enough to see how extraordinary the "Bacchus" tavern is.

"Bacchus" is a tavern with a royal background.

The previous emperor of the Holy Hiran Empire, Vasily's father, felt very sorry to see that there was not a sufficiently luxurious and high-end tavern in the city of Elianmuya, so he invested money in the name of the royal family to build a hotel in Elianmuya. This "Bacchus" was built in the center of Asia.

When building this "Bacchus", the goal was luxury. Therefore, both the interior decoration and the wine glasses and utensils for drinkers are extremely luxurious.

And the prices of drinks in "Bacchus" are naturally shockingly high.

Because ordinary people simply don't have the financial resources to enter the "Bacchus" to spend money, so the people who will enter the "Bacchus" are basically high-ranking officials.

Ever since the news of Dominic's critical illness spread wildly in the city of Elemua, the most discussed topic among the guests in the "Bacchus" was what the future destiny of this country would be.

…

…

"If Dominic dies like this, what will be the future of this country... If even Dominic dies, then our country will have few generals who are useless..."

A male voice with a sad look sounded in the tavern.

The speaker was the son of a wealthy businessman.

He most likes to go to the "Bacchus" to discuss state affairs and political affairs with the drinkers.

As soon as his words fell, he immediately aroused the echo of many people in the museum.

One person echoed:

"Our country's current talent pool is withering, and there are few people in the military who can lead the way. If even our First Marshal leaves, then I can't imagine what our country's future will be like..."

Then, another echo sounded:

"We now have a talented military strategist who can replace...no, surpass Marshal Dominik Kozlov!"

"That's right!" Another person echoed, "We now need a military genius like Su Cheng of the Britannia Empire!"

Many people in the museum agreed that now the country needs a military genius like Su Cheng to take Dominic's place and become the backbone of Xilan's army.

But at this moment, a middle-aged man said loudly:

"Troops, the Holy Hiran Empire now does not need a military genius like Su Cheng. The Holy Hiran Empire now needs a talented politician who can revitalize the country's national strength!"

The voice of this middle-aged man,

It instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the museum.

After everyone's eyes and attention were focused on him, the middle-aged man continued:

"Does our country lack military geniuses like Su Cheng? No! What the Holy Hiran Empire lacks now is talented politicians who can revitalize the country's national strength!"

"Whether it's fighting a war or building people's livelihood, no matter what you do, you can't do without one thing - money!"

"The current top priority of the Holy Hiran Empire is to revitalize its national strength and fill its treasury with money!"

"Think about it, everyone - if we dispatch an army of millions, allocate endless supplies, and put a reasonably reliable general in charge of command, then what enemy can we not defeat? What country cannot we destroy?”

"If our national strength is in decline, it will be of no use even if we have 10 military geniuses like Su Cheng!"

"We are in urgent need of a talented politician to assist our Majesty in revitalizing our country!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, there were several voices of echo and approval.

But at this moment, a sigh suddenly sounded:

"Sigh... Your Excellency, I understand and understand everything you said."

The speaker was an elderly man, a scholar who specialized in history.

After sipping the wine in the glass, he continued to say with a sad face:

"But as long as that Mond is still in the position of prime minister, even if a talented politician who can help His Majesty and revitalize the country does appear, he will be quickly eradicated by that Mond."

"That Monde is a complete idiot. He only knows two things - pleasing His Majesty and excluding the wise."

"In order to prevent others from taking away his position as prime minister, Monde will not only please His Majesty and let His Majesty continue to be in power, but also squeeze out many capable and virtuous ministers who will threaten his position from the central government!"

"With Monde here, our country will be finished sooner or later..."

Before the old man finished speaking, he was pulled by several people beside him.

"Sir, it's better to say less about this kind of thing..."

"Yes, let's stop here for now."

The old scholar also noticed that he seemed to have said too much just now, so he closed his mouth and didn't say another word.

The topic in the museum also returned to the discussion of the future destiny of the country.

While everyone in the museum continued to discuss the grand topic of the future destiny of the country, a petite woman with short white hair and amber eyes quietly put the money on the table and then quietly left the "God of Wine".

This petite white-haired girl had just been drinking silently and listening to the discussions of the people in the museum.

On the way home, the white-haired woman recalled the discussions she had just heard in the "Bacchus".

Then she whispered to herself:

"A genius politician who can lead this country to achieve national rejuvenation..."
