Outside Beluga Port City, the garrison army headquarters, late at night. watermark ad test watermark ad test

In the dimly lit guest room, Baron Aix, who put on a fine cashmere nightgown, sat at the dining table and enjoyed a simple "Clovis-style dinner, with unfinished notes beside his hand."

This can also be regarded as a "universal tradition" among members of the Privy Council... It can almost be regarded as a hereditary position plus an average age of fifty. own power and status.

While tasting local potato omelettes, charcoal-grilled cod steaks, blood sausages full of Clovis style and dark beer, while reminiscing about the experience of the day... For the visit arranged by Anson Bach, Baron Aix was very impressed. satisfy.

At first, he did suspect that this might be a means used by the other party on purpose to spread himself and the mission to facilitate some private operations, but as he continued to deepen, this concern was gradually dispelled from the bottom of his heart; for the future bank construction, A specially arranged visit is indeed necessary.

Not only did they reverse their (of course, not including themselves) stereotypes about the colony, they had a preliminary understanding of the economic situation of Beluga Port, and they also recognized the local power structure by the way. This is the first bank president. critical.

And the talkative Chief of Staff Major, who also seems to be an excellent officer loyal to the kingdom; in case the commander-in-chief of the garrison tries to restrain or overshadow himself in the future, he can draw him in as a help to divide the strength of the Storm Division.

Baron Aix knows how attractive an "enlightened aristocrat" who is from a wealthy family like himself, who is friendly to others and has a strong relationship with the royal family, is very attractive to such officers from the bottom. They can easily gain their loyalty and gratitude, and betray their colleagues for the illusory future.

"I didn't expect that His Excellency Anson Bach is really talented. In order to fight against the local forces, he did not hesitate to win over the two giants, Cecil and Rune, and firmly control the farm and arms factory in his own hands. Seventy-year-old politician."

Chewing the Clovis blood sausage with a lot of spices, Baron Aix said to himself: "Run... Rune? I haven't heard of this family very much, but it always feels familiar, as if it's somewhere. heard about it……"

Just as he frowned, a slight knock on the door interrupted the baron's thoughts.

"Boom!"

"Who?"

Baron Aikes said subconsciously, and at the same time closed the notebook with his backhand and tucked it under the table mat.

"Commander-in-Chief of the Colonial Garrison, Colonel Anson Bach."

A very calm voice sounded outside the door: "I just learned of an urgent emergency, and I hope to report it to you immediately!"

"Of course, if you've already fallen asleep, it's not impossible to wait until tomorrow..."

"No no no... Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I-I think it's better not to delay until tomorrow! It's here, just now, now!" Wei Wei was still a little stunned, the confused Baron Aix didn't dare to think about it, and quickly stood up I got up and straightened my clothes.

"You...cough...cough...please come in!"

The baron, who was almost choked to death by blood sausage, said in a rage.

Half a minute later, Anson, who was wearing a military uniform, pushed the door and walked into the room; he carefully closed the door behind him, and his tense face immediately gave Baron Aix a bad premonition.

"My lord, I have good news and bad news."

Sure enough, before being entertained and seated, the commander-in-chief said impatiently:

"The good news is about the bank's investment. After our efforts, the Roland family behind the Northern Chamber of Commerce decided to go beyond the chamber of commerce and join forces with many northern nobles of the empire to invest directly in our bank."

"Only investing in shares in the early stage is worth 800,000 real money!"

Eight hundred thousand? !

Baron Aix's heart jumped, and subconsciously asked: "Then, what about the bad news?"

"Bad news..." Looking at his nervous appearance, Anson paused and deliberately made a very heavy expression:

"In some positions in the bank, especially in the middle and high-level positions, the Roland family... has certain unreasonable ideas..."

"What, what?!"

Excited voices echoed in the living room of the parliamentary lounge. Cedric Roland, who had just been drunk at the banquet, was sober at the moment, staring at the Beluga MP who secretly came to "sneak", ha. President of the Rhodes Foundation:

"You mean the Kingdom of Clovis is going to take over the bank, nationalize it, and send a president?!"

"Exactly!"

The former leader of the Knights of No Faith and the current colonial "liberal leader" Ian Clemens swore: "In the name of the Ring of Order, I can swear to you!"

"A large-scale mission has been sent from the mainland, and the bank is going to be directly assigned to the royal family. From the directors to the staff, all officers from the mission and the garrison, plus a few local giants, will serve as positions. Plan to leave it to us!"

"As for the so-called 'investment', it's a cover from beginning to end, it's just a trick they use to get money, it's a complete scam!"

"This... how could this be... how is it possible..." Cedric was completely shocked: "Then when did he, they come?"

"Uh, they are, how many, how many..."

"What, they came a few months ago?!" Cedric was even more surprised:

"So from the beginning, is it a scam specifically targeting the Roland family?!"

"...That's right!"

Ian nodded quickly, and by the way stuffed back the "hours" he almost missed.

Cedric, who was stunned by the sudden news, froze in place, an unreal sense of absurdity enveloped his heart.

Just a few hours ago, he was having a good time drinking at a banquet, feeling that these colonial savages knew a little bit of civilization; and when he woke up, the clown was me.

How could he accept this?

But soon, Cedric suddenly realized that this might be the key to defeating Reinhard himself!

As we all know, he is in charge of the entire bank investment plan, and he is in charge of supervision as an opposition; if Reinhard continues to implement the investment plan, he only needs to stop at the last critical moment, or expose Clovis in person. Human conspiracy, completely ruining the entire investment plan, can it not turn passive into active?

Even further, after exposing the despicable faces of the Clovis people, and then joining forces with the local liberals to give up investment as a threat in exchange for concessions from the other party, wouldn't it be possible to replace him as the mission leader?

Although he despised the colony, Cedric also knew very well how terrifying the capital this bank would control if it succeeded, which was comparable to a shrunk small church bank.

Once you have mastered it, even if you don't get the right of family inheritance, you will have a brand new kingdom that belongs to you!

Thinking of this, Cedric, who was still frozen in place just now, trembled with excitement; it was just that he was still and trembling for a while, which made the Wild Hunt knight standing behind Ian full of question marks, looking around for non-existent blanket.

"Since that's the case, why did you tell me such important information, so you don't worry about being held accountable by the commander-in-chief and local nobles?"

Cedric asked seriously.

Of course not to worry, because it was the commander-in-chief who entrusted me to "reveal" this information to you... Ian Clemens' expression was solemn:

"Of course I'm worried. If you let him know who the leak is now, I'm afraid the three of us... and the entire Harold Foundation won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."

I couldn't see it, it's going to rain tomorrow... Derek snorted in disdain.

But in Cedric's eyes, it seemed that the other party was expressing disdain for his threat: "So, are you really not afraid of death?"

"Of course we are afraid!" Ian immediately took over the topic: "But if this bank is successfully built and then falls under the control of the mainland, the future of the colony will be unimaginable!"

"So even if the final result is to lose the investment of the Roland family, we must stop them; and to do this, your help will be the most important part."

"My help can make the real leader of the regiment not... ah!"

Cedric suddenly realized - yes, with Reinhard's wisdom, how could he not see such an obvious trap?

There is only one answer, and that is that he is also one of the gangs of the fraud, and may even be the mastermind!

Yes, he is the sixth heir to the family, even if the investment is successful in the end, how can he be allowed to represent the family? It must be someone who is more noble and more reliable - such as yourself - to be responsible and in control of the overall situation!

Thinking of this, the corners of Cedric's mouth, who was completely sober, began to rise unconsciously, and a perfect plan to fight against Reinhard and seize control of the colonial bank began to brew in his heart.

And the idiots of the colonial barbarians who are trying to rebel against the local and military rule of Clovis and feel that they are "brave and fearless" are the perfect tools to implement this plan.

Almost at the same time, seeing the meaningful expression on the face of the rich and powerful young master, the trio of knights were also secretly relieved, and finally the task entrusted by Anson Bach was found, and he did not need to continue to come to the door. Find fault.

"...That is to say, if you want to get the investment of the Roland family, you must surrender the bank's shares or even...absolute control?"

In the headquarters room, after listening to Anson's detailed conclusion, Baron Aikes, who had been silent for a long time, looked extremely complicated: "If they don't give it, they will even withdraw the investment?"

"It's not just as simple as withdrawing capital." Anson shook his head and said softly with consideration:

"Behind the Roland family is the Northern Chamber of Commerce, the nobles of all sizes in the northern part of the empire, including the Bernard family who control the Imperial Navy; once they can't profit from the bank, they will inevitably choose another way to get back what they have already something to look at."

"Another way?" Baron Aikes was stunned, and then he took a deep breath:

"You mean... war?!"

"That's just one of the possibilities, my lord."

Anson raised his head slightly and looked at Baron Aix solemnly, as if deliberating: "But it is undeniable that the Roland family, whose interests in the colonies have been damaged, are very likely to change from opposing to supporting war; and the colonies are There is absolutely no way to stop the empire from revenge."

"Impossible? Isn't the Free Confederation our allies, and it's not enough to pull them?"

"They are Imperials, my lord."

Anson did not give a positive answer, but said an ambiguous statement.

But Aix obviously "understood", and even sighed with emotion: "It makes sense, but the imperial people just can't believe it."

"So we have to come up with a way to appease the Roland family, and never let them withdraw their capital; of course, we must also make them accept the fact that the royal family is staying in this bank, so that the two sides can find a point where they can compromise with each other and avoid causing more unnecessary contradiction."

"You are so reasonable, my lord." Anson responded positively:

"So as soon as I learned about this, I immediately came to report to you; although you are only the head of the bank in name right now, in fact, we all know in our hearts that you are the governor appointed by the royal family."

"Where, the commander-in-chief is too polite."

Baron Aikes hurriedly denied it, with a meaningful expression: "I haven't received an official appointment from the royal family yet. Before that, everyone...know that it's fine."

"Of course!" An Sen immediately followed up and continued to tout: "The problem with the Roland family..."

"It must be dealt with seriously!" Baron Aix's expression became stern, and he instantly took out the style of the governor:

"Where did you get this information?"

"It's a few representatives of the Roland family, a very small negotiating group, which can be regarded as the outpost of the official mission." An Sen made a casual gesture with his hand:

"I temporarily arranged them in the council in the city, and appointed the colonial council to entertain them with a more solemn ceremony, you see..."

"I think it's very good, just wonderful!"

Baron Aix's eyes lit up: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, you have done a very thoughtful job. The warm hospitality is indeed likely to reduce their alertness and avoid the outbreak of conflicts between the two sides."

"In this way, in order to avoid arousing their vigilance, otherwise I and the entire embassy will live in the military camp during this time, and will not go to the city for the time being."

"Ah?" Anson was shocked:

"This, this is good or not, the question is will it be too... wronged for you?"

"No! No no!"

Baron Aix waved his big hand~www.mtlnovel.com~ with a look of generosity: "In order to bring the bank under his command... er, under the royal family! I have suffered a little bit, and I'm a little tired, what is this?! "

"real?"

"Of course it's true, how can this be fake?!" Baron Aix said solemnly:

"As for the negotiation with the Roland family mission, I will entrust it to you for the time being. Of course, I will ask Colonel William Cecil to assist and report the progress to me on time every day."

He made a wishful thinking that the two would definitely restrain each other. The Cecil family had a good relationship with the Bernard family, and they had a good relationship with the Roland family. Naturally, they would not "combine" with a colony's garrison.

Under the Baron's gaze, Anson was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head slowly, with a voice that was moved to the point of forcing his choking, and said with a trembling voice:

"Baron Aix, if you say so...then I will be completely relieved."
