They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 276: Cold Calculus of Politics Chapter 276: Cold Calculus of Politics His gaze was intense, challenging anyone to contradict him.

“I told all of you we should have sent them aid.

We could have prevented this disaster.” He paused, hoping someone would agree, hoping they could see the logic behind his words.

But the room remained eerily silent.

The weight of his words seemed to hang in the air, but no one was willing to speak up.

“It’s not too late,” he pressed on, determination in his voice.

“We can still send more aid than they initially asked for.

If we do that, they can regain their kingdom and everything will be fine.

It’s not too late to fix this.” But before anyone could respond, the Minister of War interjected, his tone cold and resolute.

“No, Third Prince.

We cannot do that.” The words hit Abuchi hard.

“What do you mean we can’t?” he snapped, frustration rising in his chest.

“This is a matter of life or death for them!

We have the resources, we have the means to help.

If we don’t step in, they could lose everything!” The Minister met his gaze, unshaken.

“It’s only been a few months since His Majesty died,” the Minister replied.

“Our enemies are already sniffing that something is wrong.

Since His Majesty has not made any public appearances, and only the Second Prince has been speaking in the media, they are starting to notice that things are not right.

If we send help to Purlit now, it will make us weak.

And when our enemies come to attack, how will we defend ourselves with the resources already spread thin?” The Minister’s words settled heavily in the room, the tension thickening with each passing second.

Abuchi’s fists clenched at his sides as the weight of his responsibility pressed down on him.

He knew the kingdom couldn’t afford to weaken itself, but how could he stand by and do nothing?
