Chapter 69: Failure is rebellion, success is revolution!
"Who are you?"
The other person turned to look at Qingluan, revealing full wariness.
Qingluan could certainly see the other party's worries.
After all, this beast-eared magical girl had just given a "traitorous speech" in a bar. Anyone would be cautious about doing something like that in a kingdom.
At this point, it is essential to dispel the other party's doubts first.
So, Qingluan immediately adopted an innocent and worshipful expression, clasping her hands together in front of her chest—
"Um... Sister! I just listened to your speech from the audience... I was so moved by your speaking out for those seniors who suffered unfair treatment! I admire your courage so much!"
Hearing this compliment, the other person paused slightly. She looked Qingluan up and down again—
A cold, somewhat naive face, a cute, petite little girl. She wears a magical girl's costume. And judging from the magical power emanating from her... she's probably a second-rate magical girl.
It seems that this is a newbie who has only recently become a magical girl and whose mind is full of "love and justice".
It's probably not a spy.
As a result, the other party relaxed a lot, but still maintained a vigilant attitude on the surface.
"Thank you for the compliment." The beast-eared magical girl turned around, her tone softening slightly. "So, what's the matter that you chased after me and called out to me?"
Qingluan lowered her head slightly, adopting a concerned expression: "Hmm... I just want to know, if you, sister, just give a few words in a bar... will the justice of those magical girl seniors really be served?"
Hearing this naive question, the other party lowered their guard.
"A mere speech is not enough. In fact, a large group of veterans who have suffered injustice, along with magical girls like us who sympathize with them, have secretly united! We intend to take justice for ourselves!"
"Huh?!"
Qingluan's eyes widened. "How exactly do I do it?"
"Of course, it's negotiation!"
The beast-eared magical girl straightened up and said righteously, "After all, no one wants to make things too awkward. As long as the country is willing to back down, pay the due pensions, and withdraw the forced retirement order, we naturally won't say anything more."
Then, the beast-eared magical girl's tone also became sharp:
"But if the country turns a deaf ear and refuses to back down, we won't sit idly by! We'll pull off a big stunt at the medal-awarding ceremony in two days!"
"During the ceremony, the 'Supreme Scepter' will personally present the award. We plan to confront the Supreme Scepter in front of everyone! We'll let the whole world see the true colors of the nation's top leadership and force them to give an explanation in front of everyone!"
After hearing Zijing's "grand plan," Qingluan outwardly wore a shocked expression, but inwardly she couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Menglin was right after all; these veterans really were planning to make a big splash at the medal awarding ceremony.
If, in such a situation, the emperor were to directly challenge the supreme authority, the nation would utterly lose face. If not handled properly, the two sides could break out into a physical fight on the spot… which would undoubtedly ignite a civil war.
However, getting the specific plan out of this beast-eared magical girl made the trip worthwhile.
"Sister, you actually told me something so important..."
Qingluan looked at the beast-eared magical girl with eyes full of gratitude and admiration. "Thank you so much!"
"There's no need to thank us. We're all magical girls with a strong sense of justice!"
The other girl puffed out her chest, looking righteous and indignant. She reached out and patted Qingluan on the shoulder: "Little sister, if you also feel indignant about the veterans' plight, join the ranks of those speaking out for them at the ceremony the day after tomorrow! We need more magical girls with a strong sense of justice like you!"
"Yes! I definitely will!" Qingluan nodded vigorously, then turned and left.
…………
Watching the blue-haired girl's departing figure, Zijing revealed a smug, cold smile.
These magical girls, whose minds are filled with "love and justice," are the easiest to fool!
"Heh...so easy to fool."
Everything is going according to plan!
In the past few days, Changlan has been desperately stirring up the emotions of those veterans, pushing their anger to its peak.
As for himself, he was responsible for giving speeches at various gatherings in the country to win the sympathy and support of the residents of other magical countries.
The more supporters like that blue-haired idiot from earlier, the better!
On the day of the medal awarding ceremony, with the veterans in high spirits and the enthusiastic support of the magical girls watching... the scene will definitely be spectacular!
As the initiator and representative behind this "just action," I can stand confidently on the moral high ground and negotiate with the "supreme scepter" of the nation!
But...negotiation?
Hmph, that's absolutely impossible!
She was a senior arbitrator in the Finance Court. Therefore, Amethyst knew very well that the magical kingdom was truly broke!
The government simply doesn't have the money to pay the outstanding pensions, let alone the mandatory retirement compensation!
Therefore, the country will absolutely not agree to the veteran's demands!
And this is exactly the result that Zijing wanted to see.
Negotiations broke down, and the Supreme Scepter publicly rejected the veterans' demands... At that point, those veterans, who had been holding back their anger for a long time, would definitely explode on the spot!
At that time, I will go with the flow, coerce these angry veterans, and directly attack the Supreme Authority of the Finance Ministry, "Snow White," to demand an explanation from her!
He wanted to incite these veterans to escalate the situation to an uncontrollable point, ideally using public opinion to oust Bai Xue! Then he could take her place!
What? She can hold this supreme scepter, but I can't?
This is Zijing's idea.
Failure is rebellion, success is revolution!
"Pfft..."
Back when I found that big idiot Changlan, that moron actually thought he was sympathizing with the veterans and wanted to help them get justice! He even took the initiative to help me with the instigation work.
Where can you find such a simple-minded thug?
Thinking of this, Zijing could hardly contain her laughter.
No... I can't laugh! I have to hold it in...!
"Buzzing—"
Just as Zijing was getting carried away with her triumph, her cell phone vibrated in her pocket.
Zijing suppressed her smile and took out her phone.
Changlan called.
Zijing pressed the answer button, preparing to use an even more somber tone to guide Changlan on her next plan—
"Hey, Changlan, what's going on...?"
"Amethyst!!! Great news!!!"
Before Zijing could finish speaking, Changlan cheered excitedly from the other end of the phone.
"I just received a reply from the national leadership! They've agreed to negotiate!"
"Moreover, the attitude from above is excellent! They have agreed to not only fully reimburse the veterans' pensions but also increase their demobilization compensation. As for forced retirement, they stated that they will fully consider the combat capabilities of the injured veterans!"
"Amethyst, our efforts haven't been in vain! The veterans are saved!!!"
“…………”
Zijing held the phone, dumbfounded.
The government has agreed to distribute money?
How is that possible?
