Chapter 1882: Peeling the cocoon and revealing the true body
Victor tried his best to quibble for himself. He had to make his behavior reasonable and well-founded, but no matter how much he defended it, it would be difficult for him to find a satisfactory reason for his behavior.
He did it too deliberately and was too eager to achieve success. This made him even though he made a seemingly reasonable excuse, he still inevitably wanted others to look at him questioning. And Stark had quite a good reason to doubt him for the excuse he gave himself.
"What's interesting? We didn't even know the size of that force, let alone discuss the post-division of this force. Even though you knew nothing, you said so surely that you could eat a lot of fat. Is this a bit too natural? Are you so confident, or do you just don't care about these things at all?"
"Confidence? Why can't I be more confident? Don't forget, Mr. Stark. I have the energy lifeline of most of Europe. Under such circumstances, I want to moisten a little bit of residue from the delicious meal in front of me. Do you have any questions?"
Victor laughed in anger and refuted Stark's statement in an absolutely confident tone. However, Stark laughed at this and said unceremoniously.
"Question? Of course there is. That is, I don't think you have the qualification to get a piece of the pie. When can even a small country located in a remote corner of Europe, which has not even heard of a name, stand up brightly and say such words to us in a sure tone? Don't you find it strange to yourself? Even France and Germany are not sure to say such words, but the ruler of a small country is so confident. Wouldn't this make you too unique?"
"I"
Victor also realized that his statement was inappropriate and he wanted to remedy it. But Stark did not give him a chance to remedy it at all.
"Of course, you will definitely find reasons for yourself. But no matter what reason you find for yourself, you cannot change it, that is, your idea is not this at all. You don't care about these so-called interests at all. Everything you do is made with other plans!"
"Agitate, provoke. You seem to want to use our hands to deal with this sudden force. Even if he has not shown any tendency at all, even if we don't know whether he is an enemy or a friend at all, you have already unilaterally defined him on our opposite side. You have shown your intentions too clearly, Grand Duke. This will only make you seem more suspicious!"
"Suspicious? Are you talking about me?"
Faced with Stark's accusation, Victor had already realized the seriousness of the situation. However, he remained calm and showed no obvious panic.
Obviously he also knew that his panic at this time had no meaning. Since that is the case, it would be better to fight to the end, and maybe it would make things turn around. After all, his identity is still a little important. No one can directly do anything to him before his true identity is revealed.
"Mr. Stark, you just conclude that I am suspicious? Just because I have put forward a little bit of my own opinion on this matter? Is this too arbitrary?"
"No! I don't think this is arbitrary. I just investigated your information, Vlad VII, the Grand Duke of Latovignan. Your life also makes me feel suspicious!"
Stark himself knew that these statements alone were not enough to prove his own point of view. So he delved a little deeper and began to exploit the life of the so-called Grand Duke of Latovigna.
"When your father Vlad VI was alive, you were a very famous playboy. He spent a lot of effort and squeezed out a large amount of money from the backward Latovigna to send you to study in the United States. I hope you can be more promising than him and not stay in that small place for the rest of your life as a local rich man. Then your actions were to spend money in the United States, and in just half a year, offended all the people you could offend in the school. The diplomatic department left the case at that time, if it were not for the sake of you being the heir to the Grand Duke of Latovigna, they would have kicked you back to Europe. Even if your father warned you several times, you would still live a life of extravagance and urgency all day long."
"You pissed your father to death, and then almost couldn't wait to take over the entire country from him. And sitting in the position of Grand Duke of Latovia, you changed your father's past conservative but somewhat able to make the people of the country full, and began to plunder the wealth of the entire country in a very extreme way."
"You appointed the lord of your college years as the prime minister of your country, just because he knew best how to satisfy your personal desires. Then, under his suggestion, you began to make a clever name to impose heavy taxes on the country of Latovigna in various names."
"A backward country in Eastern Europe, which is mainly agriculture, actually pays airport construction tax, and the only airport in this country is in your castle, and you are the only one who is qualified to use it. I'm afraid even you will find it ridiculous if you are in such an arrangement."
"What the hell do you want to say?" Victor growled with a gloomy face. Stark smiled slightly at his performance at this moment and then said.
"Don't worry, wait until I finish my words."
"You made this country a mess during nearly thirty years of rule. The young people with hope have fled Latovigna, leaving only the elderly who cannot survive waiting to die in this country. It can be said that this is a country with no future. But in just a few short years, this country has undergone earth-shaking changes."
"If you, the lord, suddenly awakened and realized the responsibilities and obligations you shoulder, then it might be okay. But just because you awakened can change the situation in the entire country, change the atmosphere from top to bottom, and also allow you to have cutting-edge technology like nuclear fusion, wouldn't this be a bit too much?"
"If you say that this is a scientist who is in trouble and comes to you with his own efforts. Then I would ask why he did not seek refuge in those more developed countries, but instead chose Latovigna, which has nothing. If you say that this is the result of Latovigna's own research, then I am even more curious. With Latovigna's financial resources, how can it support this series of scientific research? As the world's largest particle physics laboratory, ern has so many member states that have failed to develop a complete nuclear fusion theory. You, a small Latovigna, succeeded quietly. Is this a bit too disgrace to give Ern's face!"
If Stark's words at the beginning were somewhat speculative, it would be easy to think that this was something he deliberately targeted. Then, now, after Stark said so many suspicious points, even those who do not believe in it began to doubt it.
Things could not be so coincidental. It was impossible that the Grand Duke of Latovigna had just wanted to be a new person, but God had arranged all the conditions he needed to be a new person. His face was not so great, and even if he had it, they would not believe this.
And if this kind of thing is not taken as a fact, then it is obvious that this guy who claims to be the Grand Duke of Latovigna would be too suspicious.
It was so suspicious that it made people resent and doubted his real existence. This was undoubtedly his own mistake. After seeing almost everyone showing suspicious eyes at him, Victor could only sigh and say such words.
"It seems that no matter what I say, I can't get your trust anymore, right?"
"Trust is exchanged for sincerity, the grandpa. It shouldn't be a gentleman who doesn't know what it is. If everything you take out from beginning to end is lies and falsehood, then how can we talk about trust?"
Stark felt that he was sure to win, and he was naturally arrogant when speaking. The lines revealed a kind of conceit of the winner. However, Victor grinned and said sarcastically.
"Haha, if it weren't for the sudden emergence of force that disrupted my plan, I was too anxious for a while. I'm afraid you might not have noticed these problems."
"You have been exposed, so don't say these useless nonsense. There is an proverb in the East that is called "The winners are kings, princes, losers are bandits. Since they have all failed, then just put a little more and put on the posture that the losers should have. Is it meaningful to continue to struggle without any sense?"
Stark looked down on Victor's behavior of finding reasons for his failure. So he pointed out Victor's current situation without hesitation.
Without this identity as a cover, he was already in a dangerous and embarrassing situation. In normal times, the exchanges between countries and Latovia would be cut off and surrounded by layers of layers completely isolated Latovia. Unless Victor intends to resist stubbornly and use the power of Latovia to fight against the entire Europe and even the whole world, he will have only one end, that is, to be directly put into the international court, or simply die at the hands of the allied armies.
Of course, it is not the usual time after all, so it will take some time before the situation can develop to such a point. It is precisely because of this that Victor calmly started talking to Stark.
"It's indeed a meaningless struggle. You're right. I shouldn't waste everyone's time on this issue. But are you so confident that you can't live with me?"
"You can't escape, sir. No matter what kind of power you stand behind you, no matter what kind of planning you have, this is Europe after all, the territory of our allies. And since you dare to do such a thing, you have to pay the price!"
"I'll wait and see." As soon as Victor finished speaking, a violent explosion came from behind him like the background sound. This made his originally fearless face froze immediately. Then, he immediately narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth at Stark. "It seems that you have started to act. Should I praise your speed? Mr. Stark, you were really unexpected and caught me off guard."
"I know why you are fearless! You think that in this chaos, we cannot mobilize manpower to capture you. When we recover, you may have disappeared without a trace, right? I regret to tell you that since you discovered these suspicious points, I have used my intelligence and the fastest aircraft and moved towards Latovigna. I said, you can't escape!"
It is obvious that the sudden explosion was made under Stark's arrangement, and he was considered a first-class chess move in this regard. However, although he used a clever move, it was inevitable that he had some of the components that crossed the yellow line when he arranged this way. Therefore, he had to apologize to the leaders of European countries.
"Sorry, everyone. I think you know how bad the situation is. We cannot let this guy who knows many of our secrets take it away calmly, so I have to make such arrangements. I think you should understand me at this point."
In the current situation, it is certain to be angry with Stark's violation of their sovereignty. After all, Stark intervened strongly in their internal affairs without their consent, which was obviously a bit too domineering. However, as Stark himself said, they could not afford the consequences of Victor's escape.
After all, Victor has served as the head of state for so long. Not to mention many confidential affairs within the alliance, he even knew everything inside the EU. There are many things that cannot be known to the public, just like the struggle between them just now. Once it is revealed, it is impossible to say which countries will stir up turmoil and will be in peace.
Compared with this situation, Stark's crossing the line is only a trivial matter. So they could only turn a blind eye to let go of this behavior.
In short, the current situation is that Stark and the others think they have already taken Victor. But in the face of their confidence, Victor just smiled slightly.
"Are you too happy too early? Don't forget, I haven't fallen into your hands yet?"
"What, do you think you have any chance to escape?"
Stark was about to mock him, but he immediately changed his face by a message. Just then, Jarvis heard this news, and the intelligent weapons he sent to capture Victor had lost contact.
Silently, without any movement. Things were obviously unexpectedly extraordinary. This made Stark realize something immediately, so he immediately stared at Victor and asked such a thing.
"Who are you?"
"I finally got the idea, please allow me to introduce myself."
A smile appeared on his face, and a smog of smoke suddenly evaporated from the body of the Grand Duke of Latovigna played by Victor. After the smoke dissipated, the scepter with an iron mask and a black cloak appeared in front of everyone.
"I am Victor Victor Vondum, the new lord of Hell. Of course, you can also call me Doctor Doctor!". Zhubi Chinese.com._
