Chapter 164, The War Ends

Any matter reaching Parliament meant trouble.

Everyone knew that after the disruption of maritime trade routes, Britannia could no longer sustain the fight, yet politics was never black and white.

A ceasefire was unanimously agreed upon. However, the method of ceasefire was a major issue.

Members of Parliament not only represented the populace but also the numerous interest groups behind them. Unless absolutely necessary, no vested interest group was willing to sacrifice their own benefits.

Moreover, the MPs were equally unwilling to take responsibility for surrendering, as it signified the end of their political careers.

Even if surrender was inevitable, they had to feign a spirit of facing death unflinchingly to prove their opposition to surrender.

Every one of them was a master actor, "arguing, arguing, arguing..." thus became inevitable.
