Chapter 193: The Blood of the Avengers (7)
PS: The third update, but it seems that it is impossible to complete the fourth before twelve o'clock
Albert raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, it was now half past four in the morning, and it was estimated that there were many people in the Belgian hierarchy who did not fall asleep like him, but waited anxiously for the dawn to come. They kept looking out the window, imagining that at the moment the sun rose, they could see the British troops marching into Brussels in orderly steps to rescue them and end the nightmare of being trapped in the conference room these days.
Of course, all this is just wishful thinking on their part, and Prince Charlie is equally anxious, staring at the clock on the wall, watching the minutes pass, but the expected army still does not appear. Prince Charlie's hope is also getting slimmer, and he also wants to talk to the British Prime Minister on the phone, but finds that the phone has not been able to reach.
Prince Charles realized the gravity of the situation at this time, and he decided that he could not wait to sit still, and was ready to use the limited resources around him to storm the Brussels Palace. At this time, Prince Charles had only one thought in his heart, which was to directly force Leopold III to declare the abolition of Albert's legal status as crown prince.
It is very risky to force the palace in order to control the overall situation, but Prince Charles still wants to fight to the death.
Just as he was about to go out, the door slammed open, and before he could call out to the security guards, a heavily armed soldier burst into his office, two of whom subdued him to his seat without saying a word, and one of them grabbed one of his arms, so that Prince Charles could not move. Prince Charlie, who was grabbed by the collar, shouted angrily, "What are you doing here, I'm Prince Charlie!" Let go! β
"It's because you're my uncle that I can't let you go." Albert walked into Prince Charlie's office accompanied by soldiers, his hands in his trouser pockets, for the first time he showed the appearance of a hanger who did not match his usual maturity, tilted his head and said, "You mean the security personnel outside the door?" It didn't take much effort for us to be subdued. I wish my uncle had found someone who could fight as a security guard. These three-legged kung fu guys really tarnish the image of the Belgian government. β
The moment Prince Charles saw Albert, he suddenly gave up struggling, he looked at the current crown prince, who was becoming more and more like a king, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that you know everything." β
Albert shook his head, "It's not that I know everything, it's that you've been following my plan throughout. β
"What?" Prince Charlie's eyes widened, and he questioned in disbelief, "Are you saying that this coup d'Γ©tat was carried out under your plan?" Albert, what exactly are you going to do? β
"Nothing to do. Just wonder how many potential opponents there are in the Belgian hierarchy. Alberta sat down in a chair, clapped his hands, and ordered the man standing in the shadow outside the door to enter.
As the figure in the shadows slowly revealed, Prince Charlie finally saw the appearance of the man who was hiding in the darkness, he just made a difficult nunu lip, and squeezed out two words, "So the traitor is you?" β
"That's right, it's me. But I'm not a traitor, you've always been a traitor to Belgium. I'm just cooperating with you in a show with the crown prince. β
Prime Minister Ahir stood in front of Prince Charlie with a smile. Throughout, he played the role of a double agent for Infernal Affairs. Albert instructed the Prime Minister to sit down at will, and Ahir unceremoniously pulled over a chair and sat directly in front of the Crown Prince and the Prince.
The plan had been achieved, and Albert told everything he had been, "from the moment I planned to attack the British." I knew there must be opposition in the Belgian hierarchy who were unhappy with me, and this attack was an excellent excuse for them to attack me. You must know that it is unique for a small country to provoke a large country. β
"Although the Belgian military power is actually firmly in my hands, I cannot guarantee that these people will give me the slightest movement at the most critical moment and make me fail. For example, the matter of contacting the British Navy. If it succeeds, Belgium may become one of those constitutional systems in which the monarch has no power. And the reason why I asked Prime Minister Ashir to contact you as an undercover agent is to put on a good show without your knowledge. Through your identity, you can call up the group of moths hiding in Belgium, but I didn't expect that the final boss of the opposition was actually you. β
Albert held his forehead and said weakly, "It's really an unexpected plot development, I didn't expect Uncle Charlie to do such an irrational thing, is it that the interests of the whole of Belgium are not as important as your Prince Charlie's status?" β
Even Prime Minister Ashill shook his head and said regretfully, "I would like to know why Prince Charles did this?" β
"Your Highness Albert, you need to be clear." Prince Charles couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I'm saving Belgium!" Your personal act of playing with fire has threatened the interests of Belgium, and I am the hero who put the whole country on the right track. And not you little brat! β
"Yes, little brat." Albert smiled, but the way he smiled looked to Prince Charles like a true demon, "Yes, I'm a fifteen-year-old kid. But you think it out! β
Albert's voice suddenly rose several decibels, and he asked angrily, "This little kid in front of you made the United States willingly hand over its industrial base to support the development of Belgium, the little kid in front of you quelled the turmoil in the Congo colony, and most importantly, the little kid in front of you annihilated an entire Royal Fleet of Great Britain when you were in a daze just now!" β
Albert's words fell on Prince Charlie's heart like a bolt from the blue, especially when he almost fell to the ground when he said the last sentence. Prince Charles asked incredulously, "You mean, you just annihilated an entire British navy?" β
"I don't mind taking Uncle Charlie to the makeshift prisoner of war camp to see the embarrassed British." Albert snapped his fingers, and after calming down instantly, he whispered, "I know that you and I are both promoting the development of Belgium in different ways, and we both think that we represent the interests of Belgium." It's just that Uncle Charlie has chosen a docile path. I obediently became the younger brother of the great powers, and I chose a rough way of development, and directly retaliated when others violated my interests. β
"What can I say now, you are already a well-deserved authority figure in Belgium. Amazing, Albert. "Prince Charles knew that his death was near, and he could never escape the charge of treason. But he said with some reluctance, "I stood beside your father when he was crowned king, and watched your grandfather, Albert I, hand him the crown. At that time, I thought to myself, how great it would be if I too could be crowned king one day. Now you should be wearing that crown soon, I have to say that in the whole family, you are the best heir, there is no one. β
Prince Charlie paused and whispered, "It's much stronger than when I was 15 years old, and even I am jealous of your excellence." β
"Excellent?" Prime Minister Ahir said with tears and laughter, "Could this be another reason why you are doing something to His Highness?" β
Prince Charles didn't speak, and he didn't want to speak either.
When Albert was satisfied with his uncle's confession, he patted Prince Charles on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Charlie." You will not be charged with treason, and in fact there will be no rumors of an invasion of Belgium by the British fleet tonight. However, maybe Uncle you will have to spend the rest of your life under house arrest. β
In the face of Albert's "amnesty", Prince Charles was only slightly stunned, and did not show the joy of the rest of his life. He nodded and said with relief, "Then thank Your Highness Albert for your kindness and forgiveness." β
Albert opened the heavy curtains, the first rays of the morning sun penetrated through the hollow patterns on the glass, Albert was bathed in white light, and he turned his head to face the crowd like a god. In a firm tone, he said, "The reason why I won't kill you is because I want to keep you alive and let you see me build a vast Belgium, not a principality, but an empire." (To be continued......)
