Chapter 408: The mutiny is put down
The guards led by the chief of the guard just now completely had the upper hand, and at this time, if the blood lion mercenaries clashed with the guards, then the captain of the guard's side would completely fall behind.
However, there was no need for the Blood Lion mercenaries to do it, and after the Wehrmacht withdrew, the people rushed up, and they did not trouble the Blood Lion mercenaries, but reasoned with the Queen's Guard.
The guards didn't know what was going on, but after the people's nonsense explanations, they roughly understood.
Together, they lowered their guns and looked helplessly at the head of the guard.
The chief guard was completely dumbfounded: "This ...... What's going on?"
"It's not much. Cang Hao took a step forward and coldly told the chief of the guard: "Amelia made a national speech on the TV station, characterizing your and the Minister of National Defense's actions as mutiny!"
The chief guard was even more stupid: "Soldiers...... Change?"
"That's right. Cang Hao nodded: "The Wehrmacht has been withdrawn, only your Queen's Guard remains, what do you want to do next?"
"I'm not starting a mutiny. The chief of the guard said angrily: "I am here to rescue Her Majesty!"
"But your actions are in fact mutiny. Cang Hao smiled coldly: "As the queen's subjects, you mobilize troops to attack the palace, if this kind of thing is not a mutiny, then there is no such thing as a mutiny!"
As soon as Cang Hao's words fell, the people around Kakozhiya shouted to the chief of the guard in unison, as if they had discussed it: "Traitor!
The chief guard shouted hoarsely, "I'm not a traitor!"
"You're a traitor. Cang Hao said indifferently: "Not long after the country ended the war, you tried to rekindle the war in this land, and it is slanderous to say that you are a traitor!"
"I am a patriot! A true patriot!" the chief of the guard said word by word: "Everything I do is for the country!"
"But your national love doesn't seem to need you to do this!" Cang Hao pointed at those people and reminded: "Whether it is the people of your country or Her Majesty the Queen, they all regard you as a traitor!"
Hearing this, the head of the guard's face turned pale, and he suddenly realized that what Cang Hao said was right, both the royal family and the people were against him.
At this time, there was no way to contact the Minister of the Imperial Palace, and since the Wehrmacht had withdrawn, he was already in an isolated situation, and the chief of the guard did not know what he should do at all.
"I don't know what I should do, right?" Cang Hao saw the predicament of the chief of the guard, and reminded: "The only thing you can do now is to lead the team to leave quickly!"
The chief guard smiled bitterly, glanced at Cang Hao, turned around and walked into the distance.
The chief of the guard did not give an order to the guards, and the guards did not know what to do, so they could only subconsciously follow the chief of the guards and evacuate from the palace.
The people of Kakozhiya still refused to let go, chasing the captain of the guard and the guards, constantly scolding and accusing, and for a while, these people forgot about the blood lion mercenaries.
However, the quality of the people of Kakozhiya is indeed high, and this is really not boasting, these people are only scolding and accusing, and there are no further actions, let alone physical confrontation with the guards.
If something similar is put in a rising power in the east, I am afraid that at this time, an all-out military march will be staged, and the two sides will definitely fight, and no one will want to leave without leaving a few corpses.
In the blink of an eye, the guards withdrew, and the people continued to denounce the guards, and the palace became deserted.
In this way, Cang Hao didn't know what to do, so he had to contact Nie Jialin: "I have no sense of existence......
Nie Jialin was very strange: "Why?"
"Those people were eager to eat us alive just now, but now they don't seem to see us at all, this gap is really too big......" Cang Hao shrugged his shoulders: "I'm standing in front of the palace now, and no one has come to see me!"
"I think it's good to be left out in the cold. Nie Jialin exhaled: "So far, the Blood Lion mercenaries have experienced so many battles, and they have never encountered such a situation......
Cang Hao smiled deeply: "You are wrong. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Every battle we have has had in the past, and it's rare that a fight is a complete replica of the last. Life is the same, we always keep encountering all kinds of people and things, but rarely there will be any kind of people and things exactly the same as in the past......" After a pause, Cang Hao said meaningfully: "I have no doubt that we will encounter more challenging battles in the future!"
"That's right. Nie Jialin nodded and asked, "What should we do next?"
"Protect Amelia back to the palace. Cang Hao yawned: "Everyone is very tired today, come back early and rest." ”
Now that the national speech has been broadcast, there is little point for Amelia to stay on the TV station, and Nie Jialin protects Amelia and returns to the palace.
Cang Hao felt very tired and just wanted to rest early, but he didn't have this opportunity.
That is, Amelia has just returned, and someone immediately came to take the blame, it is the Minister of Police.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty......" The Minister of Police knelt down on one knee and said very sincerely: "The Chief of the Guard talked to me and the Minister of Defense once before, and I thought his thoughts were too extreme, so I left directly...... But I didn't expect that the two of them would plot a mutiny, and I really didn't know it. ”
Amelia asked coldly, "You really don't know what they're going to do?"
"I really don't know. The Minister of Police shook his head like a rattle: "I can guarantee that no one from me or from the Kakozhiya police system participated in this mutiny!"
Amelia said word by word: "Although you did not participate in the mutiny, you did not do anything meaningful, at least you did not try to stop the mutiny when it happened. ”
"I know that there are many negligences in my work......" Taking a deep breath, the Minister of Police said seniorly, "I am now prostrate in front of Your Majesty, just hoping that Your Majesty can give me a chance to mend my ways......"
Amelia didn't know what to do with the Minister of Police, so she asked Cang Hao: "What do you think?"
Amelia still lacks a bit of political wisdom, although she really can't make up her mind, and she shouldn't ask Cang Hao publicly, it's better to ask Cang Hao's opinion privately.
The reason why this mutiny happened, in fact, to put it bluntly, is that some Kakozhiya people think that Cang Hao and the Blood Lion mercenaries are in charge of too many things, although it is the chief of the guard, the minister of defense, and the minister of the palace who directly planned the mutiny, but it cannot be ruled out that there are many people who sympathize with them. If Amelia has to ask Cang Hao's opinion everywhere in public, it will invisibly strengthen the views of these people, thinking that Amelia is really controlled by Cang Hao, and I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future.
Of course, Cang Hao couldn't give his opinion directly, so he had to say euphemistically: "We are soldiers, only responsible for executing orders, not a think tank, and we can't provide policy references......" After a pause, Cang Hao was very cautious and proposed: "However, I personally think that the root cause of this mutiny is a misunderstanding, so it is best to solve it at a minimum, and not to cause too much trouble." ”
Cang Hao's words are not very clear, but Amelia has already understood, this is to let the Minister of Police go.
So Amelia told the Minister of Police: "I will not pursue your dereliction of duty this time, and I hope you can do your best to complete the future work in your current position!"
"Yes!" the Minister of Police cried gratefully and said, "I will dedicate all my time and experience for the rest of my life to the royal family!"
Amelia waved her hand, "Stand down." ”
The police secretary kissed Amelia on the back of her hand and left.
Amelia looked at the back of the police minister and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't believe that he didn't know about the mutiny beforehand. ”
Cang Hao said lightly: "Since the chief guard has looked for him before, he must have guessed what the chief guard is going to do, so he will withdraw." ”
"Sure enough, I know!" Amelia was very dissatisfied: "But what you meant just now is very clear that you want to let him go!"
"He did not participate in the mutiny, which shows that he is still loyal to the royal family, and he is not hostile to the blood lion mercenaries, and to be held accountable is at best a matter of not reporting it. Cang Hao paused for a moment, and then continued: "This mutiny is simply a story that should not have happened, and it was not caused by some issue of principle, so I think it is enough to hold only a few main messengers accountable." Also, this mutiny was originally caused by the Blood Lion mercenaries, and if the plant is too widespread, it will also be very disadvantageous to our Blood Lion mercenaries, and more Kakozhias will be hostile to us in the future. ”
Nie Jialin agreed with Cang Hao's point of view and nodded: "I believe that both the chief of the guard and the two ministers think that they are loyal to the country, and if the punishment is too severe, I am afraid it will hurt the hearts of many people." ”
"Okay......" Amelia understood what Cang Hao meant: "The Chinese people have a saying-the first evil must be done, and the threat never asks." So the Minister of Police...... I won't pursue it. ”
Cang Hao proposed: "There is something that should be handled by the Minister of Police now. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The initiators of this mutiny are still at large. Cang Hao said word by word: "The Minister of Police should be asked to arrest them." ”
"I don't want the Minister of Police to go. Amelia shook her head incessantly: "It's better for you blood lion mercenaries to go." ”
"We Blood Lion mercenaries really can't be involved in this matter!"
Amelia was puzzled: "Why?"
"As you have emphasized, Kakozhia is a country governed by the rule of law, and everything must be done according to the law. The Blood Lion mercenaries have no law enforcement power in your country......" Shaking his head, Cang Hao said again: "If we just arrest ordinary spies, we can study it, but the main envoys of the mutiny are all high-ranking officials of Kakozhia, if the Blood Lion mercenaries are allowed to arrest them, it will confirm their accusations - the Blood Lion mercenaries are interfering in the internal affairs of Kakozhia!"
"You have a point. Amelia thought of these stakes and felt that her thoughts were still too simple: "The Minister of Police has jurisdiction over this incident, and he almost became a conspirator in the mutiny, so it is most appropriate for him to arrest several mutiny leaders." ”
