Chapter 144: The Governor

Thinking that her father was here for these ancient heroes, Anne immediately stopped: "Father, the situation in Salo Yang is already under my control, and I didn't spend that money indiscriminately. After tonight, I promise...... All things will get better.

Please don't investigate the people on the Γ‰lysΓ©e Boulevard, they ...... They are my friends. ”

"Your friend, the Whitehead family doesn't need a friend. There are only two kinds of people in this world for us: those who can be used and those who can't, which one are they? ”

Anne insisted, "They are my friends, please leave this matter to me...... And Salo Yang's question, I will give you a satisfactory answer.

You can take the return train back to the imperial capital now, Your Majesty needs you more than Salo Yang. ”

The Marquis of Whitehead turned his head to look at Anne to see what she was thinking, and it took a long time for him to say, "Good...... You are the daughter I raised since I was a child. You've been doing really well so far, and I know you have your reasons for doing this. Just like when you suddenly wanted to marry Brown of the Jennings family and you didn't allow me to ask, I also agreed to you.

I believe you...... Everything you do is for the empire and the family. ”

Anne breathed a sigh of relief, and she said to the Marquis of Whitehead, "Then ask my father to go back to the carriage and follow the returning military train." ”

Anne didn't want the Marquis to know about the ancient heroes, he was too conceited...... Facing Young Master Liang, he will mess things up.

Hearing that his daughter had once again allowed herself to leave Salo Yang, the marquis suddenly said sternly: "I don't need you to teach me what I do. I didn't come to Salo Yang because of you...... but because I am the Governor of Marcellus, personally appointed by His Majesty. ”

Anne was stunned, unable to believe what she had heard.

According to the Treaty of Marcellus, the Empire could establish a satrapy in Marcellus, and the Doge of Marcellus commanded all the Imperial garrisons in Marcellus.

And due to the existence of the Death Desert, the Marcellus garrison has its own system, and the power of the governor will become great, so it can be said that he is a real feudal official. If the governor was loyal to the Empire, he could greatly limit the Parliament's ability to strengthen the Empire's control over Marcellus. But if the governor colludes with the parliament, or if he has a rebellion, as long as the Tossan railway is cut off, the empire will completely lose contact with Marcellus.

Therefore, the emperor has always been cautious in the appointment of the governor of Marcellus, and for a long time preferred not to appoint the governor rather than bury this hidden danger.

There is no need to worry about the rebellion of the governor without the governor of Marcellus, but the council of Marcellus has gradually formed a trend of tail unstoppable without restraint.

The situation in Marcellus was urgent, and the Emperor realized that the Governor of Marcellus should not remain vacant any longer, so he appointed a close confidant, the Marquess of Whitehead, as the Governor of Marcellus, in charge of the provincial military, in order to suppress the bloated power of the Parliament.

This should have been the supreme honor of the Whitehead family, but Anne couldn't help but worry about the fate of the family.

Governor Marcellus was not so easy to do.

The Marquis of Whitehead's biggest threat at this time was not the ambitious Parliament, but the Emperor behind him. None of the previous governors of Marcellus had a good death, and they were all the emperor's most trusted cabinet ministers when they became governors, and they were all guillotined by the emperor.

There was no other reason, it was all the Emperor's daily suspicions, and after the suspicion had accumulated to a certain extent, it only took a small rumor to ask for the life of Governor Marcellus.

Not to mention these extraordinary times.

When the Marquis of Whitehead entered the Governor's House and officially announced his inauguration as Governor of Marcellus, rumors of the Marquis rebelling would immediately appear in the Emperor's ears.

Amid suspicion and rumors, how long could the emperor trust his father?

Anne didn't know.

She said to the Marquis: "Why don't you refuse this appointment?" I'm the head of the Special Security Service, and you're the Governor of Marcellus, and it's like digging your own grave! ”

The Marquis of Whitehead had no worries about the future: "Because this time is needed for the Governor of Marcellus." It is precisely because the empire has allowed this position to be vacant that the current situation has been created. If you want to get Marcellus back on track, you have to concentrate the power of the empire here.

No one dared to be the governor of Marcellus during this sensitive period, only me.

His Majesty knew what the consequences of suspicion of Governor Marcellus would be at this time. Your Majesty will trust me, and as soon as the matter here is settled, I will resign as Governor and return to the Empire.

The Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet is my place. ”

Although the Marquis said it lightly, Anne was still worried, and she said: "Then I will resign from the post of director of the Special Security Bureau, and Deputy Director Kemir can manage the security bureau well." ”

"No!" The Marquis said, "You continue to be your director, do what you have to do." Kemir wanted to clear the security bureau first, otherwise...... He will stay in the position of deputy director until he dies! ”

Problems arose within the Special Security Service, and it seems that there were problems within the Imperial garrison. These two forces, which were the main forces of the Governor of Marcellus in dealing with the Marcellus problem, can now not be fully trusted. No matter how deep the marquis's city is, he can't help but show anger.

Since the Marquis of Whitehead had made up his mind to become the Governor of Marcellus, Anne knew that there was nothing she could do to stop her. I can only hope that before the emperor still trusts the marquis, the problem of Marcellus will be dealt with, and then he will resign and return to the imperial capital.

That would be the chance to save his life.

"Yes, father...... No, Lord Governor. Anne saluted the Marquis of Whitehead, and said, "I escort you to the Governor's Palace." ”

"No, you still have your business. Here is the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment to protect me......" The Marquis refused Anne's escort, and said, "I am going to hold a banquet at the Doge's Palace in the evening, and I will invite all the important people of Salo Yang to the banquet, and you bring your fiancΓ©, Brown Jennings, for me to see."

Tell him that his younger brother, Reed Jennings, is coming with him this time. ”

"Yes, Governor, I'll take Brown to the feast."

While the 1st Division of the Royal Musketeers and Cavalry was preparing to enter the Saloyan defensive area, a large demonstration broke out in the city of Saloyan.

Angry "citizens" held high signs and shouted slogans to surround the troops of the Blue Corps to blockade the Church of the Best. They shouted insults, shoved the soldiers, and tried to storm the defensive lines set up by the Imperial army.

There were even people who hid in the crowd and threw stones at the Imperial soldiers, hoping to provoke the soldiers to shoot at the demonstrators in order to provoke even greater chaos.

The plan drawn up by the parliament to transfer weapons was a great setback at the beginning, but after a monetary remedy, they were able to organize a huge demonstration procession.

Step by step, the "populace" provoked the Imperial army, and bloodshed could break out at any moment. At the same time, the parliament repeatedly pressured the Blue Corps, using freedom of speech as an excuse to prevent the Blue Corps from fighting back, while quietly suggesting that the Blue Corps should withdraw from the city to prevent the Saloyan riots.

There was chaos outside the Blue Cathedral, and all the troops of the church were nervously guarding the outside to prevent the situation from getting out of control and the church was attacked.

In the arsenal beneath the Blue Cathedral, there was silence, and Da Liang looked at the weapons and ammunition that looked like a hill, and his face was smiling.
