Lynch’s report was first submitted to the Ministry of Defense. The Ministry couldn’t make a decision on its own because, strictly speaking, this matter could be considered foreign or international policy.
So the report was forwarded to the President and Mr. Truman, and then the three parties held a eting together.
In this report, Lynch straightforwardly indicated that if the Federation wants to leverage Nagariel for long-term growth, it must ensure that Nagariel’s regi and society remain within the Federation’s control.
Akumal cannot die in the short term. His ideas not only guide the entire Nagariel towards stability but also ensure that all countries worldwide maintain a high tolerance for sudden events!
Of course, this doesn’t an Akumal cannot die. He not only will die but also must die.
Just as the Federation Governnt fears, as Akumal’s personal prestige continues to rise, his influence over all aspects of Nagariel society will also grow significantly.
At so point, his words may overshadow the decisions of the New Federation Governnt, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Once the public consciousness truly awakens and they demand elections, if Akumal becos the "number one," the Federation Governnt and United Developnt Company will find themselves in a very awkward position.
Moreover, this is a trend that is inevitable and a serious problem that cannot be avoided.
The Federation always claims it won’t interfere with other countries’ internal affairs, but what if the people of Nagariel stand up demanding public elections?
Will they assist the local governnt in suppressing the people?
The Federation will certainly face fierce criticism from the international community, and its image will be severely tarnished!
If they do nothing, the people might indeed elect a Grand President or sothing else.
Then what should they do?
Intervening would an interfering with another country’s internal affairs, with the Federation’s long-maintained image shattered and irreparably damaged.
If they don’t intervene, they will gradually lose control over Nagariel.
And this prediction for the future doesn’t need long to co true, maybe three or five years, or slightly longer.
Once Akumal wins over more local people, he will be able to achieve this!
When it cos to that point, everything becos irretrievable, which is why the Federation Governnt is highly interested in eliminating Akumal.
Lynch hopes, however, that Akumal’s death can follow his script, making his death more... dazzling.
Death, redemption, elevation!
If even those who murdered Akumal can be infected by Akumal’s final "divinity," doesn’t it precisely prove the correctness of his ideology?
Although he died, his ideology won’t perish and might even persist and beco mainstream.
Coupled with the eradication of Nagariel’s local primitive religions, half a century of stability will provide the Federation unimaginable wealth and stability!
Although the plan is a bit distasteful, both the President and Mr. Truman like it.
If sothing is beneficial to the Federation, they have no reason to oppose it.
Even the Strategic Intelligence Bureau showed up slightly earlier than planned.
In an official confidential docunt, the Strategic Intelligence Bureau’s work isn’t just about gathering intelligence from various countries.
It also includes, but is not limited to, planting spies to steal secrets, persuading key enemy personnel to defect, sabotaging important infrastructure, assassinating key figures, and more...
They first need to select soone to carry out these tasks, and the Eldest Prince caught their eye.
"The defiant roar of the old era," "the representative of the radical militant faction," such descriptions can establish a distinct image for him.
If used properly, his value and role won’t be inferior to Akumal!
After all, while people long for good deeds, they don’t give them profound recognition.
But when a bad person does a good deed, people see it as redemption!
What kind of theory is this?
Yet people believe in it and have coined nurous phrases and idioms for such individuals, like "the lamb that found its way ho from the path of confusion."
There’s never been anything that genuinely shocks and moves the heart as descriptions of good people and good deeds.
At most, they might say... he’s a good person!
Hence Jerry’s presence here, as he looks at the Eldest Prince sitting opposite him, "I know you’re very dissatisfied with the current situation; this is a good opportunity for you."
"You must understand one thing; you’re not irreplaceable, especially to us!"
The Eldest Prince, or anyone for that matter, is often rely a na on a docunt, a symbol in society, or a stranger’s face on a newspaper or television.
Nobody knows him, so anyone can be the Eldest Prince.
Using him is based on respecting facts, and there are so unavoidable factors.
But it doesn’t an he absolutely has to be used; he’s not that important.
Jerry took out a cigarette and lit one, "Do you need one?"
The Eldest Prince actually has cigarettes here, but this mont he wanted one too. He took one and started smoking.
Halfway through the cigarette, he suddenly spoke, "What can I get?"
His voice was sowhat hoarse. He rarely spoke, which led to a sense of unfamiliarity with speaking.
Opening his mouth ant he could no longer be strong; he had desires, leaving him vulnerable.
"We’ll leave that person to you, whatever you want to do."
He didn’t need to specify who that person was; the Eldest Prince knew exactly and nodded almost without hesitation, "I agree, so what do I need to do?"
His hatred for that impostor surpassed everything; not only did he replace him by controlling the highest power of a country—even if it was just in na.
He had also tarnished his sisters, taken everything belonging to him, and even planned to kill him!
To the Eldest Prince, these were unforgivable sins. He had a strong desire for control; otherwise, he wouldn’t have conspired so much with his father, the old King, in Nagariel.
He wanted to control this country and shape it into what he envisioned, yet he was ousted; how could he endure this?
The Federation people ca, and even if he reclaid his throne, he couldn’t reclaim that power. At this mont, he had no other thoughts; as long as he could kill...no, he wouldn’t just kill that wretched commoner; he’d slowly torture him forever!
Thinking of this, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
Jerry nodded with satisfaction, "No need to be too hasty; we still have plenty of ti!"
Akumal wasn’t suitable to die yet; he had to wait until his personal prestige reached its peak before there could be an opportunity for elevation.
There was no rush now; it’s still a bit early...
However, so arrangents could already start in advance.
In late February, Akumal arrived in Alia by ship. As he disembarked and looked at the crowded harbor, his emotions were turbulent.
He was filled with emotion because he slled that unique air of Nagariel here, the kind... where one’s fate is decided by others, where one’s neck is in soone else’s grasp.
The people here couldn’t decide their own lives; they were all pitiable. As for him, he was to bring the dawn.
As he descended from the ship’s rail, countless citizens spontaneously cheered for his feet touching this land.
Wherever Akumal went, he would always walk barefoot.
During his ti in Gafura, soone once deliberately scattered nails on the ground before him, yet he still walked barefoot over them.
When he left that place, bloodstains had already begun to form on the ground.
When a reporter asked him why he still trod barefoot knowing there were nails,
Akumal’s reply was unforgettable. He said, "If we seek to escape upon seeing difficulties, we’ll never progress."
"It’s like the pursuit of peace; we know it’s difficult, but we still strive to overco these challenges. Only then will we understand the value of peace."
"Though my feet are hurt, I’ll rember this pain. The next ti I encounter such a situation..."
The reporter couldn’t help but laugh, "Will you wear shoes then?"
Akumal laughed heartily and said, "I’ll step over it!"
This reply left everyone stunned for a mont, followed by continuous applause.
At this mont, no one cared whether he had received a complete education, nor did anyone ponder if his barefootedness ant sothing. People were captivated by his wisdom.
This was a smart man, a wise man, and even being barefoot couldn’t change that.
Gafura people have a high sense of recognition for those smarter than themselves because it allows them to pretend they are smart too.
At this very mont, just here, he remained barefoot.
No one would discuss this matter anymore. People shouted his na, waving their hands; such a scene might never occur again.
Everyone gathered here because of one person’s ideology, cheering for his arrival.
The present Governor and other Gafura nobles were all smiles, and that was great.
The security situation in Alia had improved significantly, closely tied to Akumal’s ideas.
His arrival would further expand and reinforce this state.
Furthermore, the Governor’s Governnt and civilians re-established communication channels, facilitating nurous agreents and compromises through mutual concessions.
A positive response leads to more positive developnt. This philosophy suited the occupied territories.
Of course, not everything was positive. In Akumal’s speech "Violence Can’t Save the World," he criticized the Gafura Empire’s initiation of world wars.
This left many nobles embarrassed, and the Governor wasn’t pleased, but the sentints resonated with the locals.
For they were the victims of the world wars.
Akumal’s strategy was actually quite simple: empathy!
He wasn’t a rigid person; he had his own strategies. It was all for world peace!
