MTL - Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World-Chapter 561 punishment four

,!

Hansel's applause seemed to praise Paul, but the expression on his face made him uncomfortable.

"What, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"Master Graham." Hansel looked at Paul with a sincere expression.

"I know that there are always some people with a strong sense of morality in this world..."

Paul narrowed his eyes, looked at Hansel very displeased, and said in a bad tone: "Are you mocking me?"

Hansel stared into Paul's eyes: "If you think I'm offending you, you can send someone to cut off my head, you have the right."

Paul gave him a blank look and didn't continue to say anything.

Hansel continued: "I know that satisfying my moral sense is indeed a pleasant thing to do, and sometimes I will give alms to beggars on the side of the road. Whenever I do this kind of thing, I feel that I am The soul has been sublimated."

He changed the subject, "However, my charity to the beggar, apart from benefiting me and the beggar, did not harm the third person."

Paul heard his subtext, "What do you mean? You mean that if you soften your heart, it will hurt others?"

"Yes, Lord Gramain!"

Hansel no longer concealed it, and said straightforwardly: "If you are only one person, it is very good to forgive your enemies. It is a generous and commendable act. But—"

Hansel got up from the sofa, walked slowly to the window behind Paul, and fully opened the half-closed curtains.

At this time, the night had completely fallen, and the star-studded night sky covered the city, and every house lit up its own lights. The window of Paul's office was facing the central axis street from north to south in Huxin Town. From here Looking at it, the brilliance emitted by the lights is magnificent.

"But you are not alone now, Earl Paul Greiman. Look at this town, you are the master of this town. This means that a large group of people are loyal to you and serve you, in other words, you Now a leader."

"Think about it, Sir Ford, Cecil, Schroeder, Victor, Bryce, and Philip Butler, etc., there are too many of them, and many of them even came from The ancestors of Zoushuo have been loyal to your family from generation to generation, and the relationship with you can be said to be prosperous and prosperous."

"Don't you think about these loyal servants, my lord? You can put your own safety at risk, but can you have the heart to put them in danger? If you insist-I mean if, after all, you have always behaved To be too merciful—isn’t it a kind of selfishness to insist on not eradicating potential enemies—to exchange the safety of his subordinates for his own vain sense of moral superiority.”

"You..." Paul was in a hurry, wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, and after half a minute of awkward silence, he said: "It's just ridiculous, a group of sinners' families, imagine, almost all of them are old and weak women and children, What kind of threat can there be, that the big shots in our Huxin Town will be frightened by these people?"

"Oh...you can't think of it like this, Master Graham. These people may not be able to do it if they rebel in broad daylight, but what about hiding in dark corners to carry out assassinations? The appearance of old and weak women and children may be more deceiving, and When the children among them grow up, who knows what they can do? You know, assassins are important players in changing the direction of history. Your family is at risk."

"Yes, your morals are high, but you can't expect your enemies to be as moral as you are. Our current general values ​​are like this—revenge for your loved ones is a respectable act .”

Paul lay back on his chair weakly, and Hansel used the comfort of his subordinates to persuade him, which can be said to have deeply stimulated him. Yes, he can ignore himself, but he can't ignore those who are loyal to him.

Should I really kill all possible dangers in their infancy?

He thought for a while, and finally said: "Hansel, you can say that I am selfish, but the road of history should be moving forward, not turning around in circles, someone has to take the first step in the direction ahead , No matter what kind of mentality the person who took the first step is out of, is it from the heart? Or is he greedy for fame? But he still chose to move forward."

Hansel said with some emotion: "Master Graeman, the road of history is full of thorns, and those who walk first will often be stabbed with blood."

"Yeah, I know, that's not fun," Paul said resignedly, shrugging his shoulders, "but I was ready."

A conversation with Hansel made him feel more tired, and he decided to end the conversation,

"Hansel, there is still more than a year before the final trial. During this period of time, I will think carefully and try to make the result take care of all aspects. Right now... I am a little tired."

Hansel sighed softly, walked slowly to directly opposite Paul, then bowed slightly and saluted.

"Since I got to know you, I have witnessed many things that were unimaginable before. Perhaps your persistence in your heart is correct. No matter what choice you make in the end, I believe in your wisdom, Mr. Graham."

"Thank you ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Hansel."

...

During the few days when Paul returned to the Lord's Mansion, the news of the changes in Huxin Town began to spread in all directions. So many residents witnessed what happened in the city from beginning to end, large-scale martial law, coming It is impossible to hide the militiamen mobilized back and forth, the artillery fire from the Lord's Mansion, and the confrontation of the army outside the city. But Paul was attacked in Babor Village, because the location is too remote, not many people know about it.

The news became more and more outrageous, and when it was farther away from Arda, some rumors even said that the current Earl Graham was no longer the original Earl Graham, and that the only one sitting on the lord's seat was a man with Paul A puppet stand-in that Graveman looks very similar to.

There are two groups of people who are most concerned about this news. The first is the vassal lords of Emden. It is undoubtedly the top priority for them to find out who is the boss in front of them.

Then came the other lords of the Customs Union. They sent envoys, and even went to Huxin Town in person, to confirm that Paul Greiman was still sitting in the lord's seat.

It was only at this time that many people discovered that Paul Greiman was already in a position that attracted everyone's attention in the Northwest Gulf.
