Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 456: 456
The Dictator

Earth.

On this day, the world was operating as usual. Billions of humans were living as usual. Those who were alive were alive, those who were dead were dead, those who were rich were rich, those who were poor were poor, those who were exploited were exploited, those who were exploited were exploited, some were ignorant, some were clear-headed but powerless, some were struggling, and some were obedient.

It had not changed for thousands of years.

Mortals were so pathetic that they knew nothing about the truth of the world and were powerless to control their own fate. However, no matter if they were drunk, worked hard for their livelihood, or were born rich and carefree, almost no one knew that something had happened on this ordinary day.

Today was the first time in human history that an esper had threatened a nuclear power that had the ultimate power of destruction and controlled the world order with extraordinary power that subverted the current scientific system.

After Kant’s communication channel in the Embassy in Cormora had threatened the rulers of the Fifth Republic of France and Guangxi with force, the global military power immediately activated its war machine.

Radars, satellites, aircraft carriers, fighter jets, missiles, armor…All defense lines were on alert.

The unknown was the scariest.

The Frenchman’s nerves were already stretched to an outrageous point.

It must be known that before the hidden attacker fired the first shot, the defending side was often in pain.

This was the second time he encountered an enemy that he did not know where to attack from.

For the second time, they encountered an enemy who used a new combat method that had never appeared in history.

The combination of these two kinds of horror was enough to remind the French of the dream performances from 70 or 80 years ago.

Especially in recent years, the trend of breast milk was prevalent. With the help of the old enemy, England, and the United States, which had the right to speak, this trend was popular all over the world, making the French themselves crazy.

Especially since it was a German, but this time it was a Chinese!

The strong sense of humiliation and crisis made Fabixi excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. The cabinet secret meeting was immediately held. After more than an hour of quarreling, discussion, roaring, and roaring, under the persuasion and pressure of China, Russia, Britain, and the United States, Fabixi expressed that he could not sit still and wait for death!

It must be known that before the hidden attacker fired the first shot, the defending side was often in pain.

This was a profound lesson that Fa Baixi had learned from her embarrassing past.

There was only one way to deal with it.

Shoot first.

Orders were issued one after another, and there were intense international exchanges. They forcefully expressed their positions and tactfully proposed solutions to obtain the recognition and cooperation of the United Kingdom and the United States in exchange for Russia’s neutrality and China’s tacit agreement. At the same time, actions on the negotiation table also began.

The president lowered himself and talked to King Komoira personally.

“If this goes on, there won’t be a winner.”

He said sincerely to Chakat II,” Kant has lost control. Extraordinary powers have inflated him, but he is not the only one. He is not even the most special. You know, the world is changing. We are trying our best to control the balance and maintain the hard-won peace…We must not let peace be destroyed by a madman.”

The president’s expression was sincere and sincere, as if he was giving a speech to the entire nation. His eyes were filled with compassion, responsibility, yearning for peace, and anger towards evil.

The king’s expression was still wooden.

He said slowly,” Mr. President, when I went to the West to study, the major I studied was your history. It’s the history of all countries in the world. It’s about the perishing, the surviving, the strong, the weak, the declining, the reviving…I try to understand the reasons why every civilization in every country is strong or weak, as well as the reasons for their demise. I can learn from them and see the future of my country.”

” And in the process of the rise and fall of these civilizations, war is a shadow that will never leave. I also understand war. For example, the wars waged by the western lords are usually accompanied by a great and sincere vision, for the happiness of the people, for the future of the country, for justice, and for justice.”

Chakat the First smiled at the ruler of Farbesi.

The president’s face darkened.

Although countries were equal, and there was no difference between the heads of state, that was just a lie. If countries were equal, why would they need nuclear bombs and aircraft carriers?

In front of television and international public opinion, he could have a cordial conversation and a friendly hug with the head of any African country, whether the other party was a bloody dictator or a disobedient elected leader. However, this did not mean that he had to maintain a humble attitude in closed-door negotiations.

His expression became serious as he leaned forward slightly.

” You are a wise man, King. You should know what will happen next. No sovereign country will accept threats and provocations from individuals or organizations. For the sake of national dignity and interests, we will fight back with all our might, regardless of the consequences or methods.”

The king’s smile was still filled with mockery.

” Don’t think that this is just empty talk. I can tell you clearly that Kant’s words and deeds are not only intolerable to us, but also to England, America, Russia, and even China!”

He said coldly,” The world is changing. Strange things are happening all the time, and people are gaining magical powers. The plot in the comic is happening, but we are not as stupid as the government in the story. The country is strong with glory, sweat, and blood. We will never succumb to the power and sorcery of mutants. Kant’s threat will definitely not succeed, because no country will allow it!”

” We won’t allow a supernatural being to threaten a country with terrorist acts.”

“We can’t let him succeed.”

“We can’t let him set a precedent. We can’t let him become a successful demonstration.”

” You know what I’m talking about,” the president said with a hint of malevolence.” You’re also a king. You’re also the ruler of this country…” You know what kind of taboo Kant is violating.”

Chakat II’s expression changed imperceptibly.

” Think about what will happen. He may succeed in a short period of time, but the greater the damage and deterrence he causes, the more we will not allow him to succeed. Missiles, even nuclear weapons, and our esper troops, even the esper troops of other countries. He is making an enemy of the world, King. At that time, not only him, but his family and friends will also be within the scope of our revenge and involvement.”

” He can’t protect himself, nor can he protect his family and friends, much less your country.”

” The end result was that the world became a mess. The secret of the espers was exposed, and there were heavy casualties. Countless people lost their homes and loved ones, and the world was left with eternal scars… It was only because of his madness and rage that he thought we would yield, that we would yield under his threat.”

” But, no, he underestimated us, and he also underestimated the way of thinking at the national level.

” If he takes action, then there will be no winner.”

The president slowed down his tone and looked at the king on the screen. His tone was sincere again.” So, King, in the name of President Fabersi and a father, I implore you to cooperate with us and stop Kant. Stop this disaster that can definitely be avoided.”

” This is for the good of everyone. For Kant, for his family and friends, for you, for your country, for the 800,000 innocent civilians of Komorra, for Fabixi and the innocent people of the world, white people, black people, Asians, old people, children, women, everything…”

” We have to stop Kant,” he repeated.” We have to stop what’s about to happen.”

The King suddenly sneered.

He said,” It was Big Bob who wanted to hurt him and his family. It was Big Bob who hurt my people. It was Big Bob who colluded with you. Now, you want me to stop Kant and stop him from taking action against you…So, the meaning of stopping him is to let him obediently wait for death?”

” Big Bob is a terrorist. We won’t agree to his request, nor will we force Kant to do anything.” The president said seriously,” I don’t know what misunderstanding he has about this, but I can promise that no one can hurt him. We’re here to protect him, not to hurt him. We’ve already negotiated with Big Bob in the strictest way possible. He promised to give up on that condition and won’t cause trouble for Kant anymore…”

” Everything can be negotiated. Enemies can also become friends. Kant, there’s no need for things to turn out this way. It’s not good for anyone.”

” Just do it for Kant,” the president said sincerely.” Your Majesty, aren’t you two friends?”

” I don’t know where Kant went,” the king said slowly after a moment of silence.

The president’s eyes flashed with joy.

He nodded and said,”Yes, we don’t know where he went. This is the most troublesome thing. However, we are not helpless. We just need you to do a little…” Let’s move.”

“What operation?”

” According to my advisors ‘deduction, if we want Kant to stop his destructive actions, we have to make him feel fear. As long as he doesn’t dare to make a move because of fear, there will be room for negotiation.”

The president paused for a moment and smiled apologetically.” This may put you in a difficult position, but this is the only way we can do it. Your Majesty, Kant’s father, I believe that only a father can calm his impulsive son down.”

The King hesitated for a moment. I have to discuss it with Kang Jinzhu. I’ll only let you talk to him after he agrees. He’ll decide if he’ll call to stop Kant when he appears. That’s all I can do.”

The president’s smile was still apologetic.” No, Your Majesty, you’re mistaken. You know that a son who is in a rebellious period cannot calm down just by his father’s long-distance phone call. Only when his father appears in front of him will he calm down…”

Under his smile, a dagger’s awe-inspiring aura appeared.

” Therefore, we hope that you will hand Kant’s father over to us.”

The King’s gaze froze for a moment before he suddenly stood up.

“This is absolutely impossible!” he said resolutely.

“Calm down, calm down, Your Majesty. Please calm down. We have no ill intentions. In fact, no one cares more about his father’s safety than us. What we are afraid of is Kant losing control. We want him to calm down and have a good talk. Why would we do anything to his father?”

The president persuaded,” Please think about what I said before. Think about it. This is just a necessary price. A little risk and a little responsibility. The reward is peace, precious peace. The happy lives of countless people can continue. No one will be hurt, war will not break out, secrets will not be revealed, and everyone will be fine.”

The political-like sincerity was always on his face.

” Of course, we will not treat you unfairly for your responsibility and courage. The permanent members will appreciate your efforts, and Kant will understand your painstaking efforts. We will give you and your country generous rewards, whether it’s personal or beneficial to the entire population. Please do not doubt our ability and sincerity.”

” Huge interest-free loans, direct economic assistance, investment, development, investment, and construction. There are only 800,000 people in Corolla and a few thousand square kilometers. We can even forcefully create a rich land and let your citizens live like Europeans…We’ll do that. We can even sign an agreement now. Trust us, this price is insignificant in the face of the damage Kant might cause.”

” And Big Bob, we guarantee that Big Bob won’t get a centimeter closer to Corolla. All the missing people will be safe, and people will be released. Secrets will always be secrets.”

The president’s expression was friendly and sincere. He even extended his hand.” Please agree, King. This is the mission and responsibility of a ruler. We should be responsible for the peace of the world and the happiness of our citizens.”

The king was stupefied and silent.

There was no impatience in the president’s smile.

“If you’re still worried.” He said,” You can go to the Chinese ambassador and get China to vouch for you. How about that? My Chinese friends were also very troubled by Kant’s actions. They also hoped to control the situation and not let it escalate to an irreparable state…In this matter, everyone’s position and demands are the same, including his parents and relatives.”

“You can even discuss it with his father first,” the president advised patiently.

The king slowly sat back down in his chair and remained silent.

The president waited for about five minutes and could not wait any longer.

“Trust me.” He said sincerely,” This is good for everyone.”

This sentence made the king’s eyes move slightly.

He lowered his head and said,” Yes, that’s right. I think everyone’s attitude towards this matter is the same. Stop the situation from expanding and stop Kant. Not only you, but even his motherland doesn’t want him to fight with you, let alone his parents.”

“His parents would never want their son to do such a dangerous thing.”

“I understand Kang Jinzhu.”

“As long as you tell him about this matter, he will definitely agree to cooperate with you without hesitation…”

“You’re right. The whole world wants to stop him.”

The president’s face lit up.

However, the professionals of the French government, who were staring at the king through other screens, all cried out in their hearts. They, who were proficient in micro-expression language, could tell that this was a sign of rejection.

As expected, the king raised his head and smiled faintly.” I think Kant, who has arrived in Fabersi, suddenly realized that the entire world is on his opposite side. That would be such a lonely and sad thing.”

His expression turned solemn.

” That’s why Comola will stand on his side.”

The president’s expression turned from joy to shock.

“Didn’t you hear what I said?” he asked, exasperated. Do you know what he’s going to do? Do you know the consequences of his actions?”

” I know that, Mr. President. But I know that before you said that, he told me before he left,’Trust me.’ Since I’ve promised him, I’ll do it.”

At this point, the king smiled.

Meeting Kant was probably the best thing that had happened recently.

” Because I believe that he knows what he wants to do. I know that he has his own reasons and goals. I know that he is my chief, he is my friend. He saved us during the darkest and most dangerous time of this country. I believe in him. I believe that he is so kind that he will not put innocent people in the flames of war, and he will not let the citizens of Komoira fall into danger.”

The king said calmly,”In the end, the 800,000 people in this country are the reason why he drew his sword against Big Bob and went to look for you…” How can we betray him?”

The president slammed the table hard and slowly stood up. He was one of the five most powerful countries in the world, a global military power with nuclear weapons and nuclear aircraft carriers. His ruler stared at the leader of the smallest country in Africa and issued a deep and terrifying threat.

“Do you know what this decision means?” he asked. If you stand on Kant’s side, it means that Fa Baixi’s anger will also be poured on your pitiful country. You will become our enemy.”

” It’s such an honor.” The King raised his eyebrows.” I thought that in your eyes, we are just a bunch of ants that are not worth mentioning. You can’t even be bothered to step on us.”

” You know that we will respond quickly,” the president said coldly.” Without your promise, we can’t even restrain Big Bob from taking action against Komola.”

“I know,” replied Chakat II.

” You will face the most terrifying threat and disaster.”

“I understand.”

“What a foolish act.”

“I don’t think so.”

” Just because of a personal decision,” the ruler of Fabersi said.” For the sake of so-called friendship, you want your citizens to pay for it. Do you think they will approve of your actions? Do you think they will be grateful to Kant?” No, when despair and destruction arrive, they will hate you and Kant.”

The king’s eyes flashed with sadness.

He nodded.” I know they will. I know that kindness is nothing in the face of death. I know that they will forget kindness and even turn hostile. They were grateful to Kant and me before, but now they curse and hate us. But it’s not their fault. They are too weak. They can only work hard to live. They can’t control their own destiny. How can they talk about gratitude and honor when they can’t even eat their fill?”

Chakat II took a deep breath and slowly said,” But as a king, I know right and wrong. That’s why I gave the order. This is the duty of a king. To look into the distance for his short-sighted subjects.”

“I know what the price is, but…Ungrateful, greedy, lazy, short-sighted, lowly, filthy, backward, ignorant, and without dignity-do the people of Komorra have to live like this forever?”

He suddenly widened his eyes and shouted,”No! The decision of King Chakat II of the Corolla Empire is that all citizens should fight alongside the friends of the Corolla Empire until the last moment…”

“If necessary, they can all be sacrificed for this!”

After hearing this, the president of Fabixi was even surprised for a moment.

Perhaps he had never realized that beautiful French could be so powerful when spoken by a black man.

The president realized that the situation was irreversible and nodded slightly. The Minister of Defense and the Secretary of the Presidential Palace had already pushed open the door and left. Fabixi would not place her hopes on a black king.

If this path didn’t work, another backup plan could be implemented immediately.

He couldn’t persuade Kang Jinzhu to step forward.

Then she would kidnap him again.

There were people like Kant in Fabersi…It was a secret weapon that was nurtured and forged by a country’s top team and the richest resources.

The best customized training plan, the best combat guidance, the advice provided by the top experts, the equipment support of the national military industry, the best team and logistics support, and long-term hard training.

Kant, on the other hand, had only grown up by chance among the common folk. It was just that his abilities were slightly more complicated and powerful. However, combat was not just about comparing ability!

There was also the competition of experience, willpower, equipment, training, and other factors.

How could Kant be compared to the elites of Fabersi?

Now, they could set off.

The negotiation failed. The communication was cut off, but the president stopped the secretary.

He still had some questions in his heart…There was also an indescribable feeling.

The king’s choice puzzled him.

Why don’t you surrender?

“You must be crazy,” he said slowly.

“No, I only have pride in my heart.”

” Yes.” The king smiled.” During the ceremony to confer Kant’s title, he said that I would be proud of the decision I made that day. My answer is no.”

” Because of my decision today, I will be proud of my entire life, and even the kings will praise it. Because after being conquered by you for hundreds of years, Comora finally chose to stand and refuse.”

“Even if the price is destruction?” the president said coldly. Not only you, but also the suffering of your people. King, you betrayed your people. Your responsibility is to bring them a better life, not…”

“Look, this is the biggest difference between you and me.”

” Mr. President, you’re just a dog wagging its tail for votes and interest groups. You’re a sweet talker, accompanied by lies. You can lower your voice, kneel down, compromise, and surrender just for an expensive bone. You’re a glorious and just elected leader.”

The King of Corolla smiled brightly at the screen.

Eight bright teeth glistened.

He pointed at himself, his expression sincere and sincere.” And people like me, using your definition and point of view, are called evil dictators. Sorry, dictators can do whatever they want, but I think you will never understand this realm.”

P1: 6,000 words.

PS2: Sigh, the more I write, the more I want to kill him…
