They forced themselves to squeeze out the crowd and threw the box on the table. The table, which was temporarily pieced together by thick wooden boards, obviously could not bear such weight. After a few moans, they immediately collapsed half of the side, and a burst of smoke rose.

Everyone jumped out of their voices, and they were surprised and turned their eyes back and forth between Zena and the box, and the room became quiet for a moment.

Zena seemed to be fine. She opened several boxes one by one, and the dazzling golden light suddenly rushed into everyone's eyes. Many people showed greed, but more people just stood there quietly, waiting for Zena to explain.

"At present, I still have about eight thousand gold coins in cash on hand. It's all here." The Dark Elf female politician smiled slightly and announced loudly.

She reached into one of the boxes, grabbed a handful of gold coins, and let the cute little things fall back into the boxes one by one. The crisp sounds seemed to hit everyone's heart. Everyone in the room held their breath, looking forward to the final belonging of these things.

"Dear brave men who came from the far south!" Zena's voice was soft and pleasant, full of magnetic temptation, "In order to defend our common home, you organized troops to go north to join the war at your own expense. Although your colleagues have been demolishing our platform in the rear, this does not prevent me from thanking you! All these gold coins will be handed over to you, which can be regarded as a farewell memorial."

Several volunteer leaders looked at each other, and their eyes showed hesitation. Eight thousand gold coins seemed to be a lot, but they all had a lot of subordinates to support them. The money was not much for everyone. Moreover, from here to their hometown in the south, they had to pay for travel expenses, pensions and rewards, but in fact they still lost money.

However, they all knew that they had not made any contributions on the battlefield, and the current situation was all caused by colleagues in the parliament, so they could not ask too much for Zena. Just in case, one of them secretly cast a lie detector on Zena, which proved that the dark elf female politician was telling the truth.

After putting away the gold coins, one of the officers stood up with a tough bullet. "Miss Zena, thank you very much for your generosity." He bowed respectfully, "But, what should I do with the previous military ticket? Who should we ask for cash out?"

The rest immediately glared at this greedy guy: All the cash was taken away by you wastes, but they were not satisfied! Charlotte almost jumped up for this, but was pulled back by Feili. After biting his ear and muttering for a few words, the former guard captain suddenly showed a sudden enlightenment and then sat back in his seat calmly.

The voice of the female politician of the Dark Elf was still so gentle: "It is indeed the responsibility of the Mainland Congress to cash out military tickets after the war. However, the Mainland Congress has been forced to disband, and you have seen that I am now without a single child..."

A wry smile appeared on her face, and her voice became gradually excited. "Who was holding the army when the war was fierce? Who was letting the food rot when it was hungry and cold on the front line? Who was obstructing the preparations for war at the beginning of the year? Who turned into a greedy vulture after the war ended and robbed the welfare the soldiers deserved?"

Standing among a group of resentful officers, Zena held her head high and in an emotional tone, she criticized the common people's congresses in the state legislature in a righteous manner, putting insults, and cleverly mobilized people's emotions. Everyone was infected by her words, and the venue was so quiet that even a needle could be heard underground.

"...In this long and arduous war, we fought bloody battles on the front line of the cold, with many casualties. And these guys were fighting for power and profit and causing trouble for their own people. What else have they done?"

The leaders of the Volunteer Army lowered their heads with a little shame. Apart from causing trouble on the battlefield, they actually did nothing good. Now they are shameless and ask for money from the old boss who has left their posts. If the congressmen who frozen the mainland meeting account are vultures that tear the corpses, they are the scorch-eating worms that flew away after the vultures flew away.

However, shame is ashamed, it is also impossible if they are asked to take out the money they have fallen into. The shameless shame and highly degraded morality are the basic qualities of most officials in the world. The only difference is the level of concealment methods.

"... Since they are unkind, then we are unrighteous! Take it!" Zena waved her hand majesticly, and several guards hurriedly carried a large sack, and turned it over on the collapsed table. Bundles of brand new military tickets suddenly rolled everywhere.

"This is..." The officers showed doubtful expressions, and a few smart ones were shocked. "Your Excellency, this seems to be too intense! This is simply forcing the states to the death!"

"When those vultures were regulating us in the rear, have you ever considered your life or death?" Zena said with a word. She grabbed the military ticket and lit it at everyone who had not yet reacted. "This is a military ticket of 800,000 gold coins, which will be divided by the head later. Whether it is soldiers, officers or civilians, or which system they belong to, each person will have twenty gold coins! The disabled people will double! Since the state legislature has frozen our accounts, it should bear the cashing of military tickets and the rewards and pensions after the war!"

She made a gesture, and immediately someone stepped forward to put away the sack. Then she carried it outside. Several officers were determined to stop it, but were pressed back to their seats by the large-sleeved guards. Not long after, there were tsunami-like cheers and scolding sounds in the barracks.

"Everyone." The dark elf female politician smiled proudly, and the volunteers' faces were already as dark as before. "I have already put the military votes on everyone and explained the whole army. I believe everyone will make the right choice and recognize the true faces of some guys..."

"Miss Zena." An officer could no longer sit down and stood up and retorted loudly, "Didn't you force everyone to turn against the state legislature?"

"Oh? You think we are friends with them?" Zena raised her eyebrows, "or is it that you stand on the same position as the vultures when it comes to embezzlement of military funds?"

"..." What else can this guy say? If he admits that he supports the freezing of the parliamentary account, he may not even want to leave this room, and he will be on the list of deaths with bullets on his body.

"The state legislature will never be a good person if it is such a big sum of money..." Another officer also expressed his opinion, "I am worried that soldiers will cause trouble after they return to their hometowns!"

"Hmph, what if something goes wrong?" Zena sneered, "The reason why we have inexplicably fought this battle after signing the contract is that the members of the rear were the reasons why the members of the MPs in the rear made a fuss and broke the communication line because they caught a few disabled elves! But are they a little guilty about this? No!" She punched the table hard, "At least I didn't see it at all!"

"I only see that they hid in a safe place to applaud, dismiss our positions, smeared our credit, and eroded our money..." Hearing such grief and angry accusations, many people were in their hearts, and even less disgusted with Zena's actions of killing first and then making a speech. After all, everyone was unlucky to the ground by the same typhoon. No one was better than anyone else.

"... We will spit out what we eat, and we will return what we snatch! Being a pirate requires the awareness of going to the gallows, and drinking soldiers' blood must have the awareness of being beaten to death!" The dark elf female politician who lost his post looked around the venue, his eyes as fierce as a female lion whose cubs were stolen.

"Since the state legislatures have red eyes and dare to touch the soldiers' lives, they must have the awareness of losing all public opinion! Haven't you all lost your position? That's right, let the throne of the ruling party become the hottest thing, and see how resistant the people above are! Let's work together to promote the scandal of freezing military accounts in the state legislature, and then encourage military families and orphans to come to ask for money! If the ruling party defaults on the account, it can be impeached naturally and drive your political enemies off the stage!"

"What if they gritted their teeth?" someone asked retort unwillingly.

"If they snatch their teeth and swallow the military votes in their stomachs..." Zena's face showed a fox-like smile. "As long as you are more active in the activities, the people will only remember that you took the lead in seeking justice for the military family and the orphans, without leaving any good impression on the ruling party. By the next election, this will surely be of great help to you.

Speaking of this, her face was correct, "As for where to go in the future, please give yourself a try. I, a outdated person, will not interfere. Do you have any questions to ask?"

After a lot of gratitude, all the powerful volunteers took the military tickets that were still waste paper and left the venue with the desire to let the political enemies fall down amid the curse. The dark elf female politician also felt comfortable and violated the doctor's orders, lit the fourth cigar today, happily spit out a large smoke ring, and didn't realize what a serious movement he had just incited.

Any politician who is driven out of power by a mortal enemy, whether just to vent his anger or to prove that he is just unlucky, has no problem with his ability. Most of them like to leave a mess as bad as possible for his descendant. If his descendant works harder than himself, so that he can give him a chance to make a comeback, it would be wonderful. In terms of despicableness, Miss Zena, who seems to be righteous, is actually not much cleaner than the borers in the rear.

Unfortunately, not everyone can easily destroy it with a pile of waste paper called military tickets and a vague prospect. "Miss Zena, you can't just give me a bunch of broken papers! You asked the volunteers to ask for money from the state assembly, but who should I, the Speaker, ask for money?" Speaker Ludwig used his stubborn finger to pull a few military tickets and swayed in front of the dark elf female politician. His face was full of wrinkles with sadness.

"This...ah. I'll be a good person!"

The dark elf female politician showed an awkward smile, and she scratched the silvery long. Finally, she gritted her teeth, took out a check book from her pocket, wrote down a few lines of words, and then tore it off and stuffed it into Ludwig's hand.

"Here, you can take this check. You can use this to raise 4,000 gold coins from my private account, even if it is my personal donation! Our army's vault is really empty and we can't get a piece of copper coins."

Ludwig took the check and looked at it, his face even more sad.

"Miss Zena, thank you very much for your generosity. I know I don't blame you for this, but..." He hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke hard, "This little money is really not enough!"

Zena immediately looked unhappy, but she still patiently asked, "Since four thousand gold coins are not enough, what about six thousand?"

Ludwig hesitated on the spot for a long time, and finally told the truth, "At least 100,000 gold coins!"

Hundreds of thousands of gold coins! When everyone heard this number, they were shocked: even if the lion spoke loudly, this kind of eating behavior would be too ugly! You know, the agricultural and animal husbandry of the New World colonies had a huge amount of daily necessities, and the price was much cheaper than the local area in the Feren continent. Even in normal years, the price of wheat was only three pounds of a copper coin. Recently, due to the war, the sea route was cut off and agricultural products could not be exported. One copper coin could buy ten pounds of high-quality wheat, and a high-quality plowing ox was only three gold coins per head.

One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, one silver coin is equal to ten copper coins, and a hundred thousand gold coins is the price of 100 million pounds of wheat, which is enough for one million people to spend a year with the minimum living standard in the New World. Zena just dismissed more than 20,000 civilians and volunteers, and only spent more than 8,000 gold coins in total. The so-called military ticket of 800,000 gold coins is just a painting cake. The specific amount of money can be obtained depends on everyone's ability. Even if we predict from the most optimistic perspective, if we can get two or three percent of them in the end, we have already been blessed by the goddess of luck.

However, Ludwig had only six thousand militias under his command, and about half of them had been killed or injured. Moreover, their hometown was right next to the war zone, and the travel expenses were basically negligible. In this way, he actually required 100,000 gold coins for severance! On average, every soldier could get thirty gold coins, or ten cows! The value of these militias was too expensive.

Now it is the time when the rear is turning against others, public funds are frozen, and no one has any surplus food in their hands. Ludwig is the only one in the army who has not lost his official position. He also manages the two states and controls the tax revenue of these two states. Although the place is a little poor, he can make some investments. However, Zena has lost her official position and is barely responsible for the aftermath, and no matter how good she does, she will not make any contribution. Everyone has fought side by side for so long, and it is already unhumane enough if you don’t help with help. She actually wants to take advantage of the situation and extort huge gold. This... Is there any conscience?

But Speaker Ludwig had a bill in his heart. Before Zena could question him, he was already crying with tears.
