"Uncle Rudy, my father had a hard time making this decision. As you know, Harris has been trying to eradicate my father's power in the military, completely monopolizing military power, and my father's relationship with Harris has become extremely bad, and now the struggle between the two sides has reached the point of life and death. Harris married Robnia to Prince Best in order to use the royal power represented by Prince Best to break the stalemate formed in the struggle with my father and deal the most fatal blow to my father. ”

"In the thousand-year history of Byzantium, which side of the losing political struggle did not end up with endless blood?"

"My father didn't want to lose the struggle and end up ruining his family, so he had to destroy the union between Robonia and Prince Best. And the only way to destroy their union is to let one of them die. My father was loyal to the royal family, so naturally he would not have such a rebellious idea as assassinating a member of the royal family. However, it was not an impossible choice to let one of the family members of the Shechen family die. ”

"Uncle Rudy, what I've just said is why my father made the difficult decision to get rid of Robonia. Do you understand?" Paris looked at Rudy, still with a charming smile on her face.

"This ...... Miss Paris, I don't think I'd better wait until I send someone to confirm the matter with His Excellency the Marshal before I have the opportunity to act?" said Rudy, still in disbelief.

The smile on Paris's face gradually disappeared, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and her voice became cold: "Uncle Rudy, we want to blame others for the murder of Robonia, and now is the best opportunity!"

Speaking of this, Paris's eyes turned red, and she lowered her head, completely looking sad and heartbroken because she was not trusted: "Uncle Rudy, your niece was raised by you since she was a child, can't you still trust your niece?"

Seeing the pitiful appearance of Paris in tears, Rudy's heart softened, and he sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, Miss Paris, I believe you this time! Tomorrow our plan will not change, so let's do as planned!"

Paris was still bowing her head. Rudy didn't see it, and a sneer quietly appeared at the corner of Paris's mouth.

Shortly after Paris left Rudy's tent, a chubby figure burst in.

"Old Captain, have you asked clearly? Is it really a decision made by His Excellency Field Marshal Hileman?" the person who came was Colonel Konev, the captain of the garrison brigade of the Fifth Army in Valen.

Rudy was silent for a moment. After a moment, he nodded: "I asked clearly, it was the decision made by His Excellency the Marshal!"

After Konev listened to Rudy's answer, a look of disappointment clearly flashed on his face.

His expression fell into Rudy's eyes, and Rudy smiled faintly and said, "What, are you scared?"

"What are the lower officials afraid of! We soldiers, to put it bluntly, are not much different from those bandits who are crawling on the tip of the knife, they are all fighting for their lives. As the saying goes: 'If you are willing to cut your body, you dare to pull the emperor off the horse!' is just a little girl, what is there to be afraid of?" Konev was shocked when he heard this, and quickly hid his true emotions in his heart, and said with a vicious expression on his face.

Rudy was noncommittal to Konev's words, and slowly spoke: "Konev, I came out of your brigade, and I have watched you step by step from a soldier to today's position, and I have always regarded you as my confidant...... At this, Rudy paused and glanced at Konev meaningfully.

How could a veteran officialdom like Konev not understand the meaning of Rudy's glance? I saw him immediately bend down and kneel on one knee, weep in gratitude, and said: "Old captain, your kindness to the subordinate is unforgettable in his life!"

After Konev had sworn his loyalty, Rudy nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hands, lifted Konev from the ground, dusted off his shirt for him, and continued: "It's a big matter, I don't dare to trust others easily! And this time the men and horses I brought are all garrisons in Lesotho City, and these people are basically Smith's cronies, so I can't believe it." The only thing I can trust here is you!"

In the face of Rudy's emotionally charged words of 'trust', Konev's fat face was naturally 'moved' with an incomprehensible expression of true feelings......!

"By the way, old captain, speaking of Captain Smith, the Commander just has a question! Why is it that you are the commander of the expedition this time, and not the Captain himself?" Konev asked Rudy with a hint of doubt, as if he remembered something.

Hearing Konev's question, a burning anger obviously rose in Rudy's eyes, and he sneered and said: "Smith, the old fox, saw that the relatives of the boss of his faction had an accident on his own territory, so he immediately found an excuse to dodge, and then asked my deputy, to come out and stand up." Hmph, if Robonia is safe, he can naturally show credit, and if Robonia has an accident, all the blame can be put on my head in one go. I know exactly what the old fox has in mind!"

"However, it is a serious mistake for me to be the leader of this thankless work. He must not have imagined that I would not have the peace of mind to allow Robonia to get out of the bandits' den alive. If he was here himself, I wouldn't have been able to plan this operation. At this point, Rudy's teeth were gritted and his expression was hideous. His face was even a little distorted by resentment. It seems that Rudy and his immediate boss do not get along quite well.

"Konev, it's up to you this time, I'm sure you can get things done! Don't let me down! After the deed is done, when His Excellency Marshal Hilleman talks about meritorious deeds, you should be the first to take the lead!" Rudy exhaled the sullen breath in his chest, softened his face, patted Konev's shoulder, and encouraged him.

"Yes, old captain, you can rest assured that the Lower Rank will not let you down! and will never disappoint His Excellency Marshal Schleiman!" Konev straightened his chest and bowed in a standard military salute.

"Okay, you can step back first!"

After seeing Konev walk out of the tent of the Chinese army, Rudy's brows gradually twisted, and his previously relaxed face became cold again.

"Well, Konev has too much thought and is not strong-willed!It seems that even if he really succeeds this time, it will become a hidden ......danger sooner or later!" Rudy thought secretly.

Konev returned to his military tent with a heavy heart.

The first thing he did when he returned to his military tent was to wake up the orderly in the military tent next door and ask him to arrange a large table for him to eat and drink for supper.

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, and the orderly was sleeping soundly, but he didn't want to be called up by Konev, and the anger in his heart could be imagined. However, all a soldier like him can do is to bury his dissatisfaction with the commander deep in his heart and curse secretly, and he still has to be meticulous in completing the things that the commander explains.

Konev has a quirk, that is, when he is in a bad mood, he likes to numb himself by eating and drinking. And the lower his mood, the more he ate and drank. Of course, when he is in a good mood, he likes to eat and drink.

It is difficult for a person, whether he is in a good mood or not, to eat and drink a lot, so that he does not gain weight! This is also the reason why Konev is so obese.

"Alas!" Konev let out a deep sigh as he looked at the table full of food and drink, and his heart was full of thoughts.

A few days ago, after receiving a secret letter from his old boss, Lieutenant General Rudy in Lesotho, the provincial capital of Gakison at the time, Konev was shocked when he read the contents of the secret letter.

He couldn't believe that his old boss would write in a secret letter asking him to try to secretly get rid of Robonia in the process of rescuing Ravnia.

Konev was a little overwhelmed for a moment. Later, when his old boss came to Valen, Konev immediately visited him and asked what was going on.

Only then did he learn that Paris, the second daughter of Marshal Hilleman Kuhn, the backstage of his old boss, had recently arrived in Lesotho City, and had even informed Rudy about Robonia's abduction by bandits before the people he had sent to Lesotho.

In addition, what is even more shocking is that Paris even brought an order from her father: to secretly get rid of Robnia, the niece of his father's political enemy, Field Marshal Harris Ogur Heywood, and the fiancée of Prince Best, and blame the robbers who had kidnapped her.

How could Field Marshal Heleman learn so quickly that Robonia had been kidnapped by bandits, and make such a fateful decision on the spot?

You must know that even if the matter succeeds, it will only make Marshal Harris's attempt to get a new powerful political boost by marrying Prince Best fail, and it will not cause any blow or weaken to Marshal Harris's existing political power. And once this matter is revealed, what kind of consequences will it cause, I am afraid that people with a little political acumen know very well!

Would Marshal Hileman, who had always been cautious, really engage in such a gamble with obviously unreasonable odds of winning or losing?

Obviously, both Rudy and Konev were skeptical of Paris's words, but because Paris was the daughter of Marshal Hilleman and insisted that she was conveying her father's orders, Rudy and Konev had no choice but to plan and act according to Paris's intentions.
