The Doge's Palace of Marcellus was a small four-story building surrounded by a lawn enclosed by a high fence. There are watchtowers at the four corners, and at the top of the watchtower stands an electromagnetic detection rod, which can use electromagnetic waves to search for nearby energy fluctuations.

Admiral Priestley and Speaker Peters were standing on the steps in front of the Doge's door, from which they could see the craftsmen left behind in the Doge's Mansion building the lawn, and several magicians and alchemists checking that the magic mechanism guarding the Doge's House was still working.

A reinforced battalion of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment was responsible for the defense of the Doge's Palace, and machine guns had been erected on the top of the watchtower and the Doge's Palace. The black muzzles of guns can also be seen in the shooting holes of the bunkers and bunkers inside and outside the courtyard.

The Royal Musketeers rode horses in teams of twelve to patrol the area around the Doge's Palace and in the surrounding neighborhoods, outside which was a circular open field with a width of 200 meters, with only low turf and no trees or bushes, ensuring that anyone who approached had no cover to use and was directly exposed to the guns of the defenders.

By this time Major Reed had retreated into the Governor's Palace, and in the face of the closed gates and the two guards standing guard, Admiral Priestley and Speaker Peters could not understand the attitude of the new Governor of Marcellus to the present situation.

The Admiral and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are fighting in the dark in Salo Yangming, but they are also acquaintances who know each other well.

Admiral Priestley, who was sixty years old and in some good health, said: "I have long heard that the Marquis of Whitehead, as a cabinet minister, is trusted by His Majesty. Everyone thought he would soon become Prime Minister of the Cabinet and become the most powerful person in the empire......

Why did he choose to come to Marcellus to be the governor, didn't he know...... What happened to the previous governors?

He obviously has a better path to the higher ranks. ”

Speaker Peters is younger and more capable than the older generals. He wears a tuxedo gentleman's suit, his all-white hair is combed into a bunch of pigtails with hairspray, he looks handsome, and his green eyes add to his unique charm.

The Speaker was holding a cane with his freshly taken top hat hanging from the top.

He flicked a little dust on his hat, and seemed to say to himself, "Perhaps...... He felt that the prime minister's power was not strong enough. ”

"Speaker, watch your words."

Admiral Priestley knew what the Speaker meant by that.

The power of the Prime Minister is not big enough, no matter how big it is, it is nothing!

How many Governors of Marcellus didn't lose their heads just because of this sentence? Now in the entire Flominck Empire, I am afraid that it is this Speaker, who wishes that the Marquis of Whitehead would die early.

If the Marquis is executed by the Emperor's suspicion......

Who would dare to come to Marcellus to pick up this brazier?

In response to the admiral's warning, Speaker Peters had a nonchalant expression, and he said, "What do you say he is for...... Imperial?

Or is it for me?

I am the Speaker of the Council of Marcellus, and I have nothing but this mouth. One day, when the people get tired of me and don't vote for me, I'll step down. At that time, I was nothing...... Admiral, do you think I am a threat to the Empire?

Governor Marcellus was different, he held the power of the Imperial army in Marcellus.

What do you think the Marquis of Whitehead meant by refusing the two of us to visit? ”

The Speaker's words made the Admiral thoughtful, and he asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"He's the Governor, and I'm the Speaker. The two of us are on the same level, and when I came to visit, he didn't see me. The expression means that he is not at odds with me, even hostile...... This is for Your Majesty to see, only by portraying me as a threat to the Empire, Your Majesty cannot suspect him, and if you are suspicious of him, you cannot touch him. ”

The admiral did not express his opinion, and he asked again: "What does the marquis mean when he does not see me?" ”

"The Marquis is the Governor, you are the commander of the Blue Legion, and you are his subordinate. He didn't see you because he used you to release his influence in the Imperial garrison and suppress your prestige.

Commander of the Imperial Blue Corps, Imperial Admiral, you are very prestigious in the garrison of Marcellus. And the Marquis of Whitehead, who has not yet officially been inaugurated as Governor, dares you to face a closed door. What do you make other corps commanders think? What do you want your subordinates to think?

The Marquis is asking for military power, and he wants absolute command over the imperial garrison.

Admiral, this Governor of ours...... It's not simple. ”

At this time, Admiral Priestley let out a sneer: "Speaker, am I stirring up trouble between me and the Governor?" That disappoints you, the Blue Corps is the Ninth Musketeer Cavalry Regiment of the Empire, and the entire corps is loyal to the Empire.

Since the Marquis of Whitehead was appointed by His Majesty as Governor of Marcellus, he had command over the Blue Corps.

I will obey the orders of the Governor, for the powers of the Governor are vested by His Majesty.

And you...... Don't be so innocent.

What's going on with those demonstrators that stormed my Blue Corps? Don't bully me when I'm old, I can't see it when I'm dazzled......

This demonstration was organized by your parliament.

What do you want? ”

Speaker Peters didn't know what he was saying, and was somewhat listened to by the Admiral. Speaking of today's demonstration, he explained with a smile: "General, Marcellus is a society of the rule of law, and what to say must be evidence-based. This demonstration is because you have too many soldiers entering the city of Saloyan.

You blocked the roads and surrounded the Church of the Most Good, which seriously affected the travel, work and rest of the citizens, and the followers of the God of Light had no way to go to the church to pay homage to the divine light and have no way to obtain holy water.

Do you know how many complaints I have received in the past few days, including the charges of disturbing the people and assaulting citizens by soldiers of the Blue Regiment. ”

The admiral said, "The Blue Cathedral has more heavy weapons than is required, and as a garrison guarding the city of Salloyan, the Blue Corps has the duty to protect the city. Now that I have found these illegal weapons, I must search the Church of the Goodest......

In case something happens, the Blue Legion is sorry for the honor that the Empire has bestowed upon us. ”

The speaker smiled helplessly: "We all know that the Blue Cathedral has illegal weapons...... But the Blue Legion checks weapons and checks weapons, can you solve the problem by sending so many soldiers to surround the church?

This is at stake in the majesty of the Holy See, does Bishop Roland dare to voluntarily give in in the face of a military confrontation and let the Imperial GIs storm the church and search it wantonly?

Someone has to take a step back in this situation.

I think that at this time, if the Blue Corps can take the opportunity of the public demonstration to take the initiative to back down, the Blue Cathedral will definitely be willing to cooperate. ”

The Speaker's words struck a chord in Admiral Priestley's heart.

In the confrontation these days, the Blue Corps is also difficult to ride.

The Supreme Church has heavy weapons that exceed the regulations, and the Blue Corps has to investigate when they find out, and failure to investigate is dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. If something happens again, the empire will investigate it, and it will definitely find trouble with the Blue Legion first.

Therefore, the Blue Corps can only surround the Church of the Most Good, neither advancing nor retreating, not seeking merit but no fault.

But it's not an option to keep fighting each other like this...... The blockade of the streets by the Blue Corps has indeed seriously affected the lives of the citizens of Saloyang, especially some ** who took the opportunity to extort and rob, which also made the general's head big.
