"How did His Highness Albert know that I was faking my illness?" Old Jack was stunned, he didn't expect that his proud Oscar acting skills would be debunked so quickly, so he got out of the bed and sat on the bed, moving quickly as if he was about to die.

"From the moment you confessed, I felt like you were pretending." Albert said frankly, "Because you have labeled me as an untrustworthy old fox in my heart, so no matter what you do, I will wonder if you have left something behind, just like this confession, which is obviously to seek a way back for James." You see, sure enough, I said it again. ”

Little James, who was standing on the side, wanted to hold back but finally laughed, but was glared at by Old Jack fiercely and immediately closed his mouth. Old Jack sighed and said, "Let Your Highness smile, in this year, in this world, people's hearts have to be sinister." ”

Albert also agreed with Old Jack's words, he nodded, and promised, "My promise just now will not change, as long as the Krob family does not commit the most heinous mistakes, everything can be forgiven." But there is a precondition that the things you do are not to threaten the security of Belgium, and at the same time not to threaten my plans. ”

"That's natural." Old Jack agreed.

"Now let's move on to the riots." Albert sat directly on the edge of Jack's bed, wondering what the situation was in the Congo right now.

Old Jack had expected Albert to come to ask for his guilt, so he had prepared his rhetoric early, "Those rioters are not stragglers, they have a tight organization and institutions, there are traces of activity in Lower Izhar, Lulua, Kasai, and there may be foreign forces, in short, these guys ......"

"It's an organized, purposeful, and financially backed rebel force from abroad, right?" Albert gave a definition to the group for Old Jack.

"The most important thing is ......" Old Jack suddenly lowered his voice, and his eyes glanced around, afraid that someone would overhear his next conversation, Albert put his ear up in understanding, Old Jack whispered in Albert's ear, "According to the report of an informant in the government department, there have been government-government-high-level infiltration into this riot, the purpose is to fish in troubled waters, and it is the kind with high level authority, and it may even be ...... Governor. ”

Albert took a breath of cold air, firstly, the old Jack had only been in the Congo for a year and had infiltrated the capital, and then it was the speculation he said that if the governor was really involved in this riot, then the entire Congolese high-level would be in danger.

"There are some gossips I heard at the wine table, and I don't know whether to talk about them or not." Old Jack asked hesitantly.

"Tell me, I can withstand the bad news." Even if the Congolese colony suddenly declared its independence, Albert would now have accepted the news calmly.

"Because the Governor does not have the right to mobilize troops, I have heard that the Governor of the colony Henry has recently been secretly recruiting mercenaries, and the South African government has taken this opportunity to give the Congo an eyebrow by organizing retired soldiers into mercenaries, and then smuggling them into the southern part of the Congo disguised as paupers, where they will conduct secret training."

Hearing this, Albert no longer smiled, he just repeated the words of Old Jack on the side, and then asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"You can believe or not believe what you say at the wine table. However, I advise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be more mindful, there is no harm. In fact, old Jack was also struggling with whether to tell His Highness about these rumors before, but since the turmoil in Leopoldville, his desire to tell Albert about these rumors has become stronger and stronger.

A group of colonial high-ranking people who colluded with foreign forces could not think of anything other than the possibility of supporting troops to become king. With well-organized extremists on one side and ambitious politicians on the other, the seemingly peaceful Congo is in crisis. Thinking of this, Albert's forehead was already covered with a fine layer of cold sweat.

"I was coming from the airport this morning when I came across a roadside bomb that blew up a car but people were fine." Albert also told Old Jack about the crisis he had just experienced.

Hearing that Albert was almost killed, Old Jack panicked, Albert is the talisman of the entire Crobo family, if there are three long and two short, he doesn't want to live a good life, besides, Leopoldville is his own sphere of influence, and the guests of the Crobo family can't say anything about something on their own territory. So he nervously asked, "Have you caught the murderer?" ”

"No," Albert shook his head, "if I catch the murderer, I won't have time to come here today to talk to you, can you find out where the top brass of these guys are located?" ”

"Don't underestimate the power of the Krob family, Your Highness Albert. He can find any dangerous elements lurking in Leopoldville. Old Jack was upset with Albert's questioning of the Krob family's abilities.

"That's good, let me know as soon as there is a situation." It was not too early, and Albert had to hurry back to the mansion to discuss countermeasures, and by the way, the roadside bomb attack was blocked, and the spread of the news would not have a good impact on Belgium.

"Now there are two dead guys in Belgium at the same time, it's a real headache." Albert said helplessly, holding his forehead.

"Actually, I would suggest that His Highness Albert take a two-pronged approach, that is, to track down that group of nationalist fanatics, and to carry out a major purge of the top of the government, so that the impact will be a little bigger." Old Jack made a suggestion, the way of thinking of gangsters naturally has their limitations, and for these guys who kill people at every turn, burying the disobedient people in the grave is the most brutal solution.

Do you want to learn from the Soviet Union? Albert did not dare to do this, the Congo is now teetering on the brink of collapse, and if there is further high-level unrest, the nationalist fanatics will be instigated by the South African forces before the new government can control the situation.

Albert rejected Old Jack's suggestion, "No, it's too dangerous, and I need a relatively peaceful policy, preferably with two birds with one stone." Alright, it's getting late, and I have to hurry back to the mansion. ”

"Why don't I send someone to His Highness Albert?" James made a very interesting suggestion, "The Crobo family legions are very good, and they are very experienced in dealing with those black people. ”

"Thanks, no need. I've brought my own 'private army' with me today. Albert declined James' slightly sycophant request. James watched Albert walk out of his yard until he disappeared from sight before he turned to his father and asked, "Can this guy really handle this?" ”

Old Jack stretched, got up from the bed, and said lazily, "You didn't see the look in his eyes when he said 'relative peace policy', believe my child, there is not any kind quality in it, but a more terrible devil." The crown prince said that peace probably refers to the way in which people can be executed in secret without affecting the reputation of the Belgian state. Fortunately, I refused Governor Henry's woo at the beginning, otherwise I don't know how I would have died. ”

In fact, the biggest purpose of pretending to be sick today is not to get Albert's promise, but to make himself closer to a big tree, Old Jack closed his eyes and sighed, "A storm is coming, I hope the Krob family will not be swept away by the wind." ”

After coming out of the Krob family, the armed convoy that arrived at the point soon stopped on the side of the road, Albert got into the special car, and Adam, who was sitting inside, consciously handed Albert a bottle of water.

Albert unscrewed the bottle and tilted his head and took a few big sips, feeling alive, the weather in Africa was unbearably thirsty for a while without replenishing water, not to mention that old Jack bastard didn't pour himself a cup of tea.

"What about Governor Henry?" After drinking, Albert realized that Henry, who was most suspected of being a traitor, was not in the car.

Adam said nonchalantly, "Governor Henry left first, and he said that an urgent document from the colonial office was sent to be signed and left, which is a terrible excuse. Where is His Highness Albert going next, or is he going straight back to the palace? ”

Adam is now afraid that Albert will have another whim and want to go somewhere else, and just because someone can't kill you once doesn't mean they won't blow you up again. However, this time Albert chose to return to the palace very cooperatively, and Adam estimated that he also had a shadow in his heart.

After the car started, the two of them were silent all the way, Albert was full of worries, Adam didn't know how to speak, so he returned to the palace in an awkward atmosphere, but when he was about to arrive at the palace, Albert suddenly broke the dull situation. He asked, "Adam, do you know Soman?" ”
