Chapter 402: Mutiny of the Guards
"It must have been the blood lion mercenaries. The chief of the guard was considered to be a blood lion mercenary, and said angrily, "We must take action against the blood lion mercenary." โ
"I think you'd better calm down. The Minister of Police shook his head: "These things seem strange and don't seem to be related to each other, but I think there must be a very reasonable explanation behind the irrationality." There must be some kind of connection behind all these things, but for some reason, it cannot be made public for the time being, and we should be patient. โ
The chief of the guard was a little dissatisfied: "Don't you think it's the Blood Lion mercenaries who are playing tricks?"
"I don't know what role the Blood Lion mercenaries played in this, but I do know something very wonderful...... "The Minister of Police dragged his voice and said slowly, "I know that the Blood Lion mercenaries have arrested several people in the Queen's Guard, and Her Majesty asked me to investigate whether they have any records of entering and leaving the United Kingdom." It turned out that there was. Her Majesty then called for the arrest of all those who might have been in England, which I don't think can be explained by coincidence. I've noticed a long time ago that Rebzer also has a record of frequent visits to England, which is all the more amazing. โ
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. The chief guard waved his hand: "I think you're thinking too much." โ
"I don't think it's a coincidence. The Minister of Police slowly shook his head: "I don't know if you noticed, in fact, Rebzer behaved a little weirdly before he died......
The chief of the guard immediately asked, "How weird?"
"We've worked together for many years, and we know each other about who has what kind of political stance. Rebze has a relatively moderate temperament, and although he is not a radical main fighter, he has also looked down on the country of Jezelcha in the past. That is, after a recent trip to London, his position has changed 180 degrees, first he visited Jezelรงa alone to negotiate a ceasefire with Hovel, and then he drew up a bilateral agreement to allow Kakozhia and Jezelรงa to carry out comprehensive cooperation......" Taking a deep breath, the police minister said suspiciously: "Of course, it is a good thing to ease our relations with Jezelรงa and avoid the outbreak of war." But one cannot easily change one's political position, as has happened since Rebzer's return from England, and given Her Majesty's demand for the arrest of all those who have been to England, I suspect that something may have happened in England to the detriment of Kakozhia. โ
Amelia's most trusted is the Blood Lion mercenary, and the Blood Lion mercenary knows the most about everything, but reveals very little to the ministers, including the Minister of Police.
But this police minister started from the most basic level of police, has been a police officer all his life, and has a very sensitive professional sense. It's just that with limited information, these speculations he made are very close to reality.
But the chief of the guard disagreed: "No matter what problems go wrong on the British side, it is also our own problem in Kakozhia, let's solve the matter of the Blood Lion mercenaries first." โ
"I'm not interested in the Blood Lion mercenary...... "The Minister of Police slowly stood up and said, "But if you want to do anything, I won't interfere, just because I haven't been here today, and you and I haven't talked to each other before." โ
The chief of the guard looked at the Minister of Police carefully, and after a long time, he sighed, "Okay. โ
After sending off the Minister of Police, the Chief of the Guard asked the Minister of Defence: "What do you think?"
"I think you're right. The Secretary of State did not hesitate to say: "Whatever happens to the British, it should be settled by the Kakozhiya, and we cannot allow foreign troops to do whatever they want on our soil." โ
The chief of the guard immediately said, "I plan to rescue Her Majesty!"
"You're going to attack the palace?"
"Yes. The chief of the guard nodded with great certainty: "Her Majesty is now controlled by the Blood Lion mercenaries, we must restore Her Majesty's freedom first, and then solve other problems!"
The Secretary of State hesitated, but finally agreed: "Okay......"
"I will lead the Queen's Guard to attack the palace and rescue Her Majesty, and the cooperation of the Defence Force will be required at this time. After all, we are outnumbered, and if the Blood Lion mercenaries come to reinforce us, it would be better for the Wehrmacht to stop it. โ
"It can be done. The Minister of Defense tentatively suggested: "However, I do not want a full-scale battle to break out, and it is better to keep the situation to a minimum and not to open fire if I can." โ
"Rescue Your Majesty will inevitably break out into battle, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, I just don't want to make senseless sacrifices...... "The Secretary of State for Defense shook his head: "Since we don't like the Blood Lion mercenaries, then find a way to send them away, preferably in a peaceful way." If a fierce conflict breaks out, it will not be a good thing for the country, and reinforcements from the Blood Lion mercenaries will surely come in a steady stream, and you should know what this means. โ
"I understand. The chief of the guard smiled sarcastically: "Kakozhia has been peaceful for many years, enjoying a rich and stable life, and no one wants to fight anymore. Including you, the Defence Forces, have experienced civil war conflicts before, and you are exhausted and incapable of engaging in new wars. โ
The Minister of National Defence had a somewhat displeased expression: "The Wehrmacht has never been afraid of war, I just don't think we should rush into war and make fearless sacrifices." โ
"Well......" The chief of the guard did not dare to criticize anything, after all, if his plan was to be successfully implemented, it would have to be supported by the Minister of Defense: "It is better to do this, before we start attacking the palace, the Wehrmacht will divide and surround the various units of the Blood Lion mercenaries." Once we're operational, all you have to do is make sure that the Blood Lion mercenaries don't add to the palace, as you said, with as little negative impact as possible. โ
"That's fine. The Minister of Defense agreed to the plan: "However, there are only two of us in this matter, and there is one more person who must be involved." โ
"Who?"
The Minister of Defense immediately gave the answer: "Minister of the Imperial Household." โ
The so-called "Minister of the Imperial Palace", as you can hear from the name, is mainly responsible for everything related to the palace.
All the work involved in Amelia's daily life is the responsibility of the Minister of the Palace, including Amelia's personal entourage and officials such as the head of the palace, whose work is responsible to the Minister of the Palace.
Speaking of which, this position is very prominent, but it has little real power. He does not control the military and police powers, and he does not even lead the Queen's Guard, let alone financial power, and everything he does revolves around the royal family.
On the other hand, this position is very important because he is the person who is close to the queen and can represent the queen's will many times.
The supreme head of the Queen's Guard is the Chief of Guard, who has no subordinate relationship with the Minister of the Interior, but both of them serve the Queen, so there are too many overlaps in their work, and they are very familiar with each other.
The chief of the guard immediately invited the minister of the palace, and the minister of the palace had a complicated attitude towards this matter.
Traditionally, the Imperial Ministers were the stewards of the royal family and could not intervene in any political affairs, so the Imperial Ministers were not concerned about the arrival of the Blood Lion mercenaries. As for the impact of the Blood Lion mercenaries on the country's politics, the Minister of the Imperial Household is also not concerned, and the reality does not allow him to care, because the Minister of the Imperial Household is very sensitive in the environment of the Kakozhiya country to intervene in political affairs.
But there was one thing that changed the attitude of the palace minister, that is, when Cang Hao first arrived in Kakozhia, he discussed with Nie Jialin and Amelia, invited all the palace staff out, and let the blood lion mercenaries guard the gate.
The Minister of the Interior felt very unhappy about this, he was originally a close confidant of the Queen, but now he did not know anything and was locked out of the door.
As a result, the Minister agreed with the Chief of the Guard, believing that Amelia might have been controlled by the Blood Lion Mercenaries, and agreed to the Chief Guard's plan.
After the three of them planned their trips, they immediately began to act, first of all, the Wehrmacht dispatched to divide and surround the troops of the Blood Lion mercenaries in the name of exercises.
As previously introduced, the Blood Lion Mercenaries are scattered deployments, and there are Blood Lion mercenary units everywhere, but each unit is not large in size and is not concentrated into a large force.
The Wehrmacht formed several skirmishers, weaving them like spider webs, and the Blood Lion mercenaries were shrouded in the middle of the web.
The Wehrmacht's actions were quickly noticed by the Blood Lion mercenaries and reported to Nie Jialin, who was helpless: "The last time we captured Lei Buze, we mobilized on a large scale to target the Wehrmacht, which obviously made the Wehrmacht feel uncomfortable, and this time they are taking revenge on us. โ
"Revenge?" Cang Hao looked at Nie Jialin thoughtfully: "Do you really think so?"
"Isn't it?" Nie Jialin spread his hands: "We surrounded them last time, and this time they surrounded us, this is revenge!"
"Nope. Cang Hao shook his head thoughtfully: "I think this matter may not be so simple. โ
Nie Jialin paused for a moment: "Why?"
"In the land of Kakozhia, we are outsiders after all, and now that we have become Amelia's most trusted people, and have taken over Kakozhia's national defense, the locals of Kakozhia must be unhappy. The guard grew up and was furious, but in fact, he said all the words that were held in his heart, and some of the things he wanted to say a long time ago. After a pause, Cang Hao continued: "That is, after the guards grew out of rage, there was a large-scale transfer of the Kakozhiya Defense Army, do you think it would be a coincidence?"
Nie Jialin was speechless for a while: "This ......"
"If it weren't for the fact that the chief of the guard was angry, I can believe that the Wehrmacht was just angry, but since there is such a thing as the chief of guard, we have to consider whether there are other possibilities for the Wehrmacht's actions. โ
"What is the possibility?" Nie Jialin thought of a possibility, and was stunned: "Could it be...... Will it be a mutiny?"
"It shouldn't be as serious as the mutiny, but it should be about ......the same," Cang Hao said meaningfully: "During the time since I came to Kakozhia, I have observed the local folk customs and humanities, and the royal family is the embodiment of God in the hearts of Kakozhia people, which cannot be violated. Therefore, the natives of Kakozhia will not try to overthrow the royal family, they are extremely loyal to the royal family, and the Amelia family has been able to rule the country steadily for so many years. But the Kakozhiya can try to overthrow our ......"
"What do we have to overthrow?" Nie Jialin didn't understand: "We are not the rulers of this country!"
"We have developed too rapidly in Kakozhia and have too much power...... "Shaking his head, Cang Hao said worriedly: "In China, there is such a thing as coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and people of other countries and nationalities are not stupid, of course they will have similar concerns. I don't know if someone thinks that Amelia is under our control, and they want to take her back and drive us out. โ
"So what should we do?"
"Two ways, one is to fight to the end, and win or lose with the Kakozhya Defense Army. When Cang Hao said this, he shook his head again: "But this method won't work, after all, this is Amelia's motherland, and we can't turn this land into a battlefield." What's more, if we really go to war with the Wehrmacht, we will completely offend the Kakozhiya, and even if Amelia wants to keep us in the future, we will not be able to stay in this country. โ
