While the crowd was raging in the San Diego barracks, Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee were counting money in the presidential palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Count the money!

Well, to describe a speaker of the National Assembly and a commander-in-chief of the Supreme Armed Forces in this vulgar term is a bit unseemly, then to describe it as they are "discussing ways to deal with the financial crisis".

The finances of the Republic of Cuba were indeed on the verge of collapse, because Santiago, which had been in chaos during the war with the Spaniards, had stopped almost all commercial activities, which directly led to the lowest point in the commercial tax revenue of the Republic of Cuba, which in the whole of May was less than 2,000 piestes, a figure of almost 2 percent before the war.

In the last joint meeting with Li Mu and others, Rayleigh Toynbee proposed to take action against certain members of the council and confiscate their property in order to alleviate the financial crisis.

Although this is not a good solution, and it is undoubtedly the same as killing chickens to take eggs and drinking water to quench thirst, but the Republic of Cuba in distress has no choice, survival is the top priority, and nothing else matters.

"We have sold a total of 134,000 Piestes, and in addition to sending 25,000 Piestes to George Dewey's vampire for military expenses, we now have a total of 89,000 Piastes, and at least in the last three months, we will not have financial problems." Rayleigh Toynbee was triumphant, pleased with his prowess.

Darwin Andrew twitched the corners of his mouth twice to smile, and his heart was also very tired.

134,000 minus 25,000, no matter how you calculate it, the result will not be 89,000, even if it is to remove the cost of buying treasury bonds, but this consumption is inevitably too much.

For a moment, Darwin Andrew finally understood why Céspedes had acted at both ends of the ladder, both to protect the interests of the vested interests, but also to take into account the development vision, but also to resist the pressure of the Spaniards, in all fairness, Céspedes had done very well, such a result was not fair to Cespedes.

Understanding is understanding, Darwin Andrew is not ready to overturn the case for Céspedes, in this maelstrom, Darwin Andrew has no choice, if he betrays the class he belongs to, Darwin Andrew will face the same fate as Céspedes.

Darwin Andrew didn't want to die silently in the basement of a house.

"What has that Reem been up to lately?" Darwin Andrew always pays attention to Li Mu, and with Darwin Andrew's understanding of Li Mu, Li Mu does not look like a person who easily admits defeat.

When the Spaniards approached the city, Darwin Andrew killed Céspedes beautifully with a thunderous force, forcing Li Mu to recognize the current government of the Republic of Cuba.

"The Guantanamo Infantry Regiment he led is experimenting with a strange tactic called the 'Skirmisher Line', and this arrogant guy probably thinks that war is like a game, as long as he uses his shameless methods in the mall, he will be invincible, but it's a pity that Willis Nikolau doesn't like him, so it is estimated that his small methods will not be useful." Rayleigh Toynby doesn't look down on Li Mu, this little guy is too jealous.

"Rayleigh, don't underestimate your opponent, or you'll regret it." Darwin Andrew has regarded Li Mu as his potential opponent, and in Darwin Andrew's opinion, this is the biggest compliment to Li Mu.

Darwin Andrew feels that he has attached great importance to Li Mu, but not enough, and soon, Darwin Andrew will regret it.

A sharp knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee.

"What's going on?" Darwin Andrew scolded, he doesn't like to have unexpected events, which means that things tend to get out of control.

"Mr. Darwin, Sheriff Thomas has sent someone to report that there is a situation on the other side of the barracks, and many soldiers have rushed out of the barracks, presumably with the aim of San Diego—" Santos, with a panicked face, broke down the door with a panting policeman.

No way, all the military in San Diego is under the control of George Dewey, so Rayleigh Toynby, the commander-in-chief of the Supreme Armed Forces, can mobilize the armed forces and only have some police.

Although there was no way to infiltrate the barracks, Darwin Andrew did not give up monitoring the barracks, and Thomas was the sheriff in charge of this.

"Say! What's going on? Rayleigh Toynby snapped.

"Just now, a lot of soldiers rushed out of the barracks—all armed with weapons—and rushed in the direction of San Diego with slogans such as 'Eradicate Corruption' and 'Give Me Back,' and Mr. Thomas was powerless to stop it, and ordered me to come back and report to the two gentlemen, asking them to move as soon as possible—" The little policeman was still out of breath, and his words were intermittent, but the description was quite clear.

"Salary? Did you send your paycheck over at all? Darwin Andrew was furious, and his fingers trembling as he pointed at Rayleigh Toynby.

Darwin Andrew did not forget that when Rayleigh Toynbee reported the bill, there were 25,000 Piests paid to the army.

"I had already sent the money the day before yesterday, exactly twenty-five thousand gold coins—" Rayleigh Toynbee screamed.

As soon as Rayleigh Toynbee finished speaking, there was a sudden deathly silence in the office, and if Rayleigh Toynbee wasn't lying, it proved that the money wasn't being sent to the soldiers, and then someone was behind it.

"Damn, we've done everything we can to satisfy them, what else do they want from us?" Darwin Andrew paced back and forth behind his desk, already distracted.

"It's clear that someone wants to put us to death, and now is not the time to complain, we need to dodge—" Rayleigh Toynbee finally remembered the situation he was about to face, and hurried to the window to look out.

It was late, there were already dense footsteps in the distant streets, and someone could be faintly heard shouting "kill them", and the police on duty in front of the presidential palace did not have the slightest intention of resisting, they quickly took off their uniforms, boarded all the horses and carriages available for use, and fled.

The two deputies who got the news wanted to escape, but as soon as they reached the street in front of the presidential palace, they were surrounded by soldiers who rushed to the house, and Rayleigh Toynbee saw the two councillors pleading, but the soldiers did not hesitate, and one of the officers made the two councillors kneel on the ground, and then stood behind the two councillors, pulled out a pistol and executed them.

"Let's go, we're going to go—" Rayleigh Toynbee felt his heart skip out, the scene in front of him was all too familiar to him, it was the same way that Rayleigh Toynbee had shot the former mayor of San Diego and many members of the council, and Rayleigh Toynbee never wanted this doom to befall him.

Walk –

It's easy to say, but you can still walk there, just from the second floor to the first floor, the soldiers who swarmed blocked the only exit to the presidential palace.

Thankfully, Supreme Court Justice Arthur Robbins blocked the rioting soldiers at the door.

"Soldiers, calm down, violence won't solve anything—" Arthur Robbins opened his arms and blocked the door as much as he could, preventing the soldiers from storming the presidential palace.

"This old man is a justice of the Supreme Court, and he is one of those corrupt officials who must be punished—" Someone shouted outside the palace gates, encouraging the soldiers to rush in.

"Even if I am a corrupt official, I should be tried by the court before I can decide what kind of punishment I will receive, and you have no right to punish me." Arthur Robbins was righteous and awe-inspiring, without the slightest flinch.

"They also didn't have a trial when they killed Mr. Céspedes—" another shouted.

Speaking of Cespedes, the soldiers' anger finally couldn't be contained, and it was unknown who pushed Arthur Robbins away, and then everyone rushed up.

"No—you can't—" Arthur Robbins shouted, but was quickly drowned out in louder shouts of killing.

Almost as soon as they entered, the soldiers spotted Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynby.

"Where are they—" was reminded.

"Kill them—" someone incited.

"Let's shoot them together—" someone suggested.

The proposal was immediately agreed to by everyone, and after a rattle of bullets, Rayleigh Toynbee and Darwin Andrew were confronted with hundreds of black holes.

"Wait—" Darwin Andrew tried to stall for time.

It's a pity that what answered Darwin Andrew was a sudden gunshot.

Phew-

There were so many people in the hall that I don't know who fired the gun, and it hit Darwin Andrew right in the chest.

Woo Woo Woo –

After a flurry of gunfire, Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynby were shot and killed.

"—Justice Arthur Robbins was taken to the hospital, but died before he could reach the hospital—President Mr. Caspar Hardy was not at the presidential palace at the time, and was later identified by the soldiers when he was about to go out of the city after putting on makeup, and then hanged in Victory Square—The parliament of twenty-five parliamentarians, eight of whom had been executed for 'collaborating with the enemy and treason' in the previous purge, and the last of the councillors, Mr. Hardy, was arrested yesterday in a small hotel next to the docks—"Benjamin crossed his legs, Holding a Havana cigar in one hand and a glass of rum on the ice in the other, he reported to Li Mu in the same tone.

"So, it's time for us to play?" Li Mu expressed satisfaction with Benjamin's work, which can be regarded as a specialization in the art industry, and he is definitely an expert in carrying out coups.

"yes, it's time for us to play—" Benjamin looked proud, looking accomplished.

Hehe, turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands into rain, anyone will feel proud.
