Royal Palace of Rio de Janeiro,

Pedro II sat at the top of the seat, quietly listened to the conditions relayed by Duke Frobert, and did not speak for a long time.

"The transfer of senior generals in the army is arranged by the General Staff Department, and it is his turn to be a small captain to intervene."

The gray-haired Marshal Mitchell pouted his beard angrily and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Captain Ebel's position is low, it is impossible for them to have access to the orders and arrangements of the upper echelons of the Imperial Army, someone must be secretly instructing them to cause trouble, I suggest sending troops to control Captain Ebel and his party, and then interrogate the instigators behind them." ”

"Your Majesty, the "Knights of Brasilia" organized by Ebel is very involved, once they are arrested, it is likely to cause chaos in the situation of the imperial army, which is not conducive to the current overall situation, for the sake of safety, measures should be taken to appease Ebel and others, after all, their starting point is good, but because they are young and vigorous, they are a little more extreme, I hope that Your Highness will spare them for the sake of their loyalty to the empire. ”

Inciting troops and blackmailing officials has been an intolerable crime in the eyes of rulers since ancient times, and Forbert could not persuade Ebel and others to listen to his opinion, so he could only try to suggest that Pedro II adopt a policy of tolerance and appeasement to temporarily suppress the matter.

"The low-level officers are young and don't understand the difficulties of the Empire, Garcia has served in the Imperial Army for decades, and the soldiers below complain about his grievances, why doesn't he come out to appease? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with the arrangements of the General Staff? ”

Ignoring the troublesome low-level soldiers, Pedro II turned his anger on Garcia, who did not come to discuss the matter.

"Garcia is old, he has suffered a lot of injuries, his physical condition has not been very good, Marshal Mitchell cares about his health, and specially transferred him from the front line to the logistics unit for recuperation, these arrangements are all approved by me, if Marshal Mitchell is a traitor to power in the eyes of Garcia and the low-level soldiers who make trouble, will I become a mediocre monarch, will they also overthrow me and support the wise general they think as the emperor?"

Pedro II was exhausted by the chaos that was constantly raging at home, with repeated defeats in external wars, the occupation of El Salvador, the country's third-largest city in the north, by black rebels, and the factional nature of the Imperial Army, and the aggressiveness of Garcia's young soldiers, who made many demands that he simply could not agree to.

With all sorts of things on the table, Pedro II couldn't help but wonder if it was worth it for the Pedro family to pay so much for the Brazilian Empire.

Pedro II's father, the founding emperor of the Brazilian Empire, Pedro I, is considered a wise emperor in Western history, he rejected the request of the Portuguese parliament, led the native white people in Brazil to quell rebellions everywhere, and established the most powerful Brazilian empire in South America, but even though Pedro I tried his best to protect the interests of various factions in the country, he was finally expelled from Brazil by the country he founded, and had to pass the throne to Pedro II, who was only five years old, and handed over the administrative power of the country to the regents.

Pedro II grew up under the supervision of domestic officials, and when he became an adult, he needed to consult ministers and officials on all government affairs, and deep down, he had already had enough of this life, so in the face of the old school of Garcia, Duke Frobert and others, although Pedro II maintained a respectful and trusting appearance on the surface, in fact, he was more inclined to take the initiative to move closer to him Mitchell and others.

Although Garcia can fight, he is not his own person in Pedro II's heart, so he will transfer Garcia to the logistics department and let Mitchell take charge of the real power of the troops.

Pedro II is fifty-three years old, he has been the emperor of Brazil for forty-eight years, he wants to govern the country according to his own ideas, but he finds that there are always people against him, Pedro II is really bored at this time, he is very afraid that he will work for the country all his life and end up with the same fate as his father, but the Brazilian Empire is the territory of the Pedro family for hundreds of years, if he gives up the Brazilian throne but is reluctant, it is precisely because of the complex and indescribable mentality in his heart, Pedro II will only vent his dissatisfaction with Garcia and others today by inciting disturbances by low-level soldiers.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, General Garcia went to Curitiba yesterday to inspect the logistics and supply of the troops, and he has not rushed back yet, otherwise he would definitely persuade the troublemakers to stop the incident."

Duke Forbert explained for Garcia, then turned to Marshal Mitchell, lowered his status and pleaded, "The Imperial army cannot be in turmoil, Marshal Mitchell, for the sake of the safety of the Empire, I beg Your Excellency to advise Your Majesty!" ”

"Duke Frobert is serious, Mitchell has been in the Imperial Army for decades, and he will not be like a group of hot-headed low-level soldiers. In terms of the overall situation of the empire, I still have a clear distinction between public and private affairs. ”

Marshal Mitchell pretended to respond magnanimously, then took two steps forward, and immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are unreasonable, and the forcible arrest of them may affect the major affairs of the domestic counterinsurgency, so I think it is necessary to temporarily accede to them some requests, first to calm them down, and then send the troublesome soldiers and officers to the Bahia region to participate in the combat operations to suppress the black rebels, so that the factors of instability within the imperial army can be reduced by half." ”

"Marshal Mitchell is generous, regardless of their slander against the marshal, and is a rare commander of the Empire."

Pedro II didn't want to tear his face directly with Frobert and Garcia, and after the other party bowed his head and took a step back, he also compromised and said, "Just follow Marshal Mitchell's method, Duke Frobert, you tell the troublemakers for me that I agreed to their conditions, but the conditions they put forward are critical, let them go to Bahia to quell the rebellion according to the orders of the Wehrmacht headquarters, and then solve the problems they raised when they return." ”

"Thank you for your understanding."

It is most appropriate for the matter to be resolved in this way, and after Duke Frobert received the promise of Pedro II, he did not stop, and immediately rushed back to the barracks, and received a telegram from Garcia on the way, and under the explanation of Garcia's telegram and the assurances conveyed by Duke Frobert, the troublesome soldiers were disbanded under the leadership of Ebel and others, and then two days later, they rushed to Bahia by warship to join the local defenders.
