Chapter 55: The Situation Intensifies
"Minister, what should we do now?"
Looking at Andy with a calm face, Zhang Jiacheng, as a deputy, couldn't help but feel a little bored, things were imminent, but the minister was still not in a hurry......
"I'm wanted now, I can't get out, even if I want to explain, no one will listen, I can only wait for His Highness to come back."
"So we're not going to do anything now?"
"I have already sent a telegram to His Highness, if nothing else, His Highness will be able to return at the latest tomorrow morning, and everything will wait until that time to fight back."
There are many members of the Royal Home Ministry, but most of them are accepted to control various industries in the country, and they do not have much combat effectiveness, which is why Andy, as the Minister of the Royal Home Ministry, has been cowering in the shadows.
And while they were discussing, the First Norde Defense Army had already been dispatched, although it was the same Nord army, but they still had some differences with the Royal Janissary, the Nord Royal Janissaries on their uniforms had one more golden tassel than the First National Defense Army, and at this time the First National Defense Army did not have it.
Aside from the difference in uniform, the guns in the hands of these soldiers did not look like a regular army at all. Although the territory of Nord is small, the configuration of the Royal Praetorian Guard can be compared to the elite troops of various countries, and anyone can understand that this is a regular army, and the current First Army of National Defense, AK, M4, and Kotel all kinds of guns make them look extremely bad.
Today was a shocking first day for the citizens of Nord, who had just gone out to see groups of soldiers hurrying through the streets, their expressions of arrogance and ferocity.
No one stepped forward to question, or no one dared to come forward, all they did was to retreat uniformly, to the side of the street, to their own homes, quietly watching all this.
As the rain began to fall, groups of soldiers began to arrest the officers on the list in a neat manner, accompanied by military cards, and every time the truck stopped, dozens of soldiers rushed into the homes of the listed officers, escorting the young officers away amid cries and screams.
One by one, neutral officials, promoted by James, were arrested, and the army took control of the media, the police station, the Royal Bank, and even various departments of the Duchy of Nord. There were only three places they had not touched, the first being the Nord Palace, the second being the Royal Janissary Garrison, and the third being the Royal Guard headquarters.
Robert has not rebelled yet, he is only arresting this group of officials in the name of reorganizing the cabinet, so James, Smith, and the royal palace are not accessible to him for the time being. The Royal Guard and the Praetorian Guard garrison were something he wanted to take but couldn't take, or rather it would require considerable casualties and losses.
Nord Cabinet
"My lord, now that all departments have been occupied by us, please give us instructions on how to do next!"
Although things had just begun, Robert was relieved, picked up the cigar in his hand and took a hard puff, and asked John teasingly: "Director John, what do you think of now?" ”
"If I were you, I would not relax now, and one thing I might want to tell you, Joseph, which of your little kings has already taken a plane and will be back in Nord in about fifteen hours."
"Shit, John, are you kidding me?"
John's words made Robert instantly break away from his relaxed state, and hurriedly picked up the phone and began to give orders one by one, and Nord, who was already in a mess, was even more confused at this time.
"Robert, I think you're scared of him, don't deny it, it's not my gut feeling but you've just shown it."
Robert is no longer able to argue, now he just wants to arrange everything before Joseph returns, and take the military and political power of Nord, so that even if Joseph is mysterious, he will not be afraid.
Nord Royal TV
"Who are you?"
The anger on the face of the director of the television station was actually understood in his heart, but now he had to show his dissatisfaction, because only in this way could he delay the time, and he had already received the news that Joseph was about to return.
"Dear Mr. Director, it's time for Detective Adventure! If I'm not mistaken, today is supposed to be the second episode of the third season, to be honest, I don't like the heroine in it, she's too pretentious. ”
It was not a mercenary but a deputy director in charge of cabinet security who was in charge of the royal television station, and he had been by Robert's side since he became Minister of Defence, and it was obvious in his heart that today was a day of turnover.
Royal Television is the main propaganda voice of Nord, and occupying Royal Television Robert is equivalent to taking down Nord's mouthpiece, so Robert asked his old subordinates to come over and take charge of guarding. The deputy director did not bring mercenaries, because that group of people had their own organizations and were difficult to control, and most of the people he brought were newly recruited Chinese workers and Eastern Europeans.
He felt very happy when he looked at the director of Nord TV, who could only look up to him in the past, and he felt very happy, but there was no hatred between the two sides, but they were just unaccustomed to it.
Although the director of Nord TV is not the executive director of heavy industry and the deputy minister of commerce like the president of Audi, he himself occupies a very important position in the commercial department, and even Joseph has met with him many times, and this deputy director ...... To be honest, Joseph probably didn't even know that there was such a person in the cabinet.
The deputy director originally wanted to tease a few more words, but at this time, the phone rang, and the moment he took the phone, the deputy director seemed to be a different person, respectfully and loudly answered.
The director of Nord TV tried his best to hear what the other party was saying, but the phone was too quiet, and he didn't have the ability to listen to the wind, so he could only watch the deputy director nod his head instead of what was said on the phone.
"Mr. Director, this is a new order of the Cabinet, and I ask you to carry it out!"
When he came back again, there was no ridicule on the deputy director's face, there was only a serious and handed over a piece of paper, although he didn't want to pay attention to him, but the paper still had to be taken.
"Impossible! You are a rebellion, a rebellion! ”
The roaring director didn't make the deputy head of cabinet security angry, he just looked at the other party with contempt, and with that gaze, the director of Nord Royal Television slowly calmed down.
Yes, the other party is a rebellion, but what can he do? Your Highness, when will you be able to return, the situation is now very unfavorable to you.
There is only one paragraph on the paper, which means that Prime Minister James was assassinated in Italy and Archduke Nord was so angry that he became seriously ill and needed to recuperate, during which time all state affairs were to be deputized by Robert.
The words are very false, but as long as it is spread through the channels of royal television, there will always be people who believe it, after all, this is the official propaganda caliber, even if someone doubts it, there is no way to verify it, after all, Robert will not allow anyone to approach the palace.
"Your Excellency, you only have five minutes to think about it, and if you do not carry out the order within five minutes, I have the right to remove you as director in the name of the cabinet government and arrest you for the crime of ...... Treason! ”
