Chapter 271: On the Eve of War (2-in-1)

"Prince Olibat?" Hearing this answer, Michael couldn't help but be stunned.

This was a far cry from what he had imagined to be a possible outcomeβ€”he was not without all sorts of possible speculations: perhaps it was the aristocratic faction who came to see the chaos in the imperial capital today, so that they could take further action; Perhaps they were arranged by some foreign merchant and financier to feed back to their employers through the sight of the imperial capital, so that they could decide on the next change in the investment plan of the empire; Maybe they were just bodyguards hired privately by a big nobleman, hoping to protect his daughter who was studying in Santa Astraya and live safely in this already chaotic imperial capital - but he really didn't expect that behind this incident was the prince of Olybat, the prince who suddenly appeared in the public eye a few years ago. I heard that his sudden rise a few years ago was due to the fact that he solved the Liber mutation with a teenager who was also from the Empire, and used that power to make a brilliant appearance in the imperial political arena - so how did he collude with a hunter like the "Killing Bear"?

Michael instantly felt a little big. He's very capable, but he's not Claire after all, and he's not the kind of person who is known for intelligence analysis and calculation. The fact that the thing that symbolizes the token of Olibat in the hands of this notorious hunter is not a fake is already very revealing.

Although the current imperial capital is a bit troublesome, and although the railway gendarmerie is essentially the power of Prime Minister Osborne, Erebonia is an empire after all, and the emperor and the royal family have some privileges in this land. With the imperial family as a guarantee of the legitimacy of the action, not to mention that he is a small adjutant, that is, the military boss of the imperial capital is here, and they can also directly use this as an excuse to refuse to reveal more.

What's more, it was the prince, Prime Minister Osborne, who had always said that the primary target at the moment was the aristocratic faction, not the young prince who was very interested in him but did not need to be taken to heart at this moment. It seems that this matter can only be stopped, and it seems that there is no practical significance in the busyness of the past few days.

"In that case...... The things arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince are not something I can control. Michael politely handed the token back to Garcia and said.

"Well, Mr. officer, it should have been hard to keep an eye these days, right? What's more, Heimdall has been the way he is these days, I'm afraid it ......" Garcia took the seal, put it away properly, and then showed a smile - which made Michael feel very weird. Is this mocking himself with Oliebat's power? Or is there something else that is deep in it?

"Mr. Garcia, I have a lot of respect for your hard work." Martha, who was on the side, glanced at Garcia, cleared her throat, and said, "Actually, His Highness did ask us to do something very important to him, but we shouldn't reveal it to anyone until it is doneβ€”but, as Garcia just said, you should be busy now, right?" ”

"That's true...... Today's march was so loud that just maintaining that order had already made the useless gendarmes do their best. If the situation deteriorates further, I am afraid that tomorrow we will need to intervene. ”

"Your guess is correct. Tomorrow is not a "if" if the situation worsens – but tomorrow there will be a very serious abrupt change. For you, for this country. Garcia said solemnly.

"What?" I didn't expect Garcia to say that, and Michael stood on the spot.

"If I'm not mistaken...... You should be a fairly high-ranking officer...... Except for those who actually have the right to command. Garcia looked at the officer's badge on Michael's chest and nodded, "Therefore, you should be clear about this matter...... Just this afternoon, the Empire's invasion of Crossbell was a complete failure - twenty of the latest guided chariots "Eighteen" were all wiped out, and the Imperial army is now left to sit still in the Garelian fortress, waiting for the next plan and action, right? ”

"This ...... How are you ...... Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince, he ......" Michael's inner shock is beyond wordsβ€”this is impossible. He knew about Oliebat's itinerary this afternoon: after finishing his work in the morning, Oliebar had lunch at the palace, and then went to the Imperial Capital Hall to discuss some matters with Mayor Regnitz, and then he set off for the headquarters of the Railway Gendarmerie, taking the Empress Elfin and another black-haired girl whose name he did not know, and Captain Claire Levitt on the bulletproof car for the Railway Gendarmerie - it was because he was going to participate in the night closing ceremony of the school festival of the Tolz Non-commissioned Officer Academy. Although there were some criticisms about such an approach, Michael knew that not only Olibat, but also the very remarkable young man of the aristocratic faction, Lufas Albarea, whom the reformers were on guard, had also gone, and even the mayor of Regniz himself would have to go a little later after he had finished his work for the day. In other words, on the surface it's nothing more than an evening party, but in reality it can have a lot of meaning.

But in any case, Michael knew that His Highness Oliverat's itinerary was full, and after he knew the news of the Garelian Fortress, it must have been after three o'clock in the afternoon, and since that time, he himself has been monitoring these two people, and the Daobo communication obstruction device that has been arranged before has never sent any feedback that someone has contacted them.

So, how do they know that this thing, which has not yet been released to the public and can be called a state secret?

Thinking of this, Michael muttered in his heart. He regretted it a little.

"I know more than you think." Garcia seemed to be pleased with Michael Michael's reaction, "That's it, Shaozo...... Since yours is one of the head snakes in the imperial capital, why don't we exchange information? As you know, we are trusted by His Highness Oliebat, and we must be trustworthy in terms of credit...... And we have been in the imperial capital for so long, there are always some things that are not clear, and I hope to get further guidance. ”

"I don't know how you know about our current military secrets...... "Michael mused, "but no. For the sake of His Highness's face, if he doesn't make a move on you, he will already have the biggest face. I will not be able to accompany any work related to the exchange of information. With that, Michael turned to leave.

"Hey......" Martha called tentatively, but was stopped by Garcia, "forget it...... Didn't that kid say that? If you can't do it, don't force it, I think so, the elite soldiers of the empire will never be shaken by this level of words. Besides, we don't have the chips he can trust, and even if they do, we shouldn't show them to him. ”

"yes...... So, I'm going to destroy this thing? Martha nodded, then pointed to a hidden spot in the corner of the room.

"Ruined it. Hurry back after the ruin, and we'll contact the kid again to see what he has to say. ”

"Failed...... But that's okay, I didn't expect you to pry anything out of his mouth. However, since you told me that the person was not the Ice Maiden, I thought there might be a slight chance of taking advantage of it. Listening to Garcia's retelling, Helliga nodded, "And we have nothing to lose...... The matter of the Garelian fortress, he had known about it through the military department for a long time. ”

True, it was Helliga himself who told Garcia about the setback on the part of the Galylian fortress. After leaving Lloyd and the others, before going to the Garelian Fortress, he contacted Garcia - the latter had already stated in a previous regular contact that he had noticed that there seemed to be a force guide jamming device installed around the room, and that it would be detected if someone used the force guide to make contact, so that two days a week, he would go to the second floor box of an obscure cafΓ© at noon to talk and exchange information with Heliga. Since there was only one window in the box on the second floor, it was absolutely impossible to spy on what Garcia was doing in the room as long as the angle was chosen, and Michael would never have dreamed that a man who had personally witnessed the destruction of the army in the fortress of Garelia would tell Garcia the real facts before the military headquarters had reworded and deliberated the news to the officers of all ranks.

After learning from Garcia that someone was watching, and that this person was not yet a well-known and flawless "Ice Maiden", the first thing Heiliga thought about was whether he could get some information from him. The credentials arranged by Olibat were enough for them to give up their continued surveillance of Garcia, but it was difficult to get these tight-lipped soldiers to speak and break the rules of the army. Therefore, Heliga didn't expect much in this matter, using the news of the Garelian fortress as a bargaining chip, it was Garcia who was showing his strength in a certain aspect - I, and the helpers behind me, were able to know the secrets of the military, which means that we have something worth exchanging with us, and what you need to pay is naturally the information that only the military can have. However, Michael apparently weighed the pros and cons and decided that since Garcia and the others had no problem, it should not be up to him, the interests of the reformists, to interrogate too much about the actions of the neutral faction represented by His Royal Highness Olivebat, so he chose to leave directly to avoid further trouble, which is not a wise move.

"Now that his business is over...... That's right, I'll tell you the next point. Heliga deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Listen, how is your plan of action prepared?" ”

"In today's review, Martha did not make a mistake in hundreds of steps in three hours." Garcia gave a reassuring reply.

"That's good...... It's better to say, just right. "Listenβ€”I have a strong hunch that in the next few days, you may have to put it into practice. ”

"So fast?" Martha said in surprise, then realized that her voice might be too loud, so she lowered her voice, "Why?" ”

"I exchanged some information with His Highness Olivebat." "He recounted to me in detail what had happened at the Zaxon Iron Ore Mine, and I always found it a little weird...... Garcia, this matter may still need your opinion, your opinion as a seasoned hunter. ”

"What's the matter?" Garcia snorted lightly, you guy with divine powers, is there anything else you need to ask a mediocre mortal veteran?

"It's about the hunters. Let me ask you, is it difficult for the best sniper of the Zephyr, to penetrate the fuel tank of an airship whose construction this man is familiar with a single shot and crash it in a mine pit with visibility less than 30 sub-moments, with the aid of sighting devices, at a distance of 200 sub-moments? ”

"Why is this such a strange question?" Garcia muttered inwardly, but since it was Helliga who asked, it must not be his whimsical joke, but what use is there, "I want to think about it...... If the visibility is less than 30 centimeters, even the best sniper rifle aiming aid on the market will probably not be able to help this person see anything beyond 150 centimeters. I guess that's not very reliable. ”

"Then we ignore this condition and assume he can see." Heliga said that he didn't have time to explain to Garcia that the gun was not a creation in the ordinary sense, but a weapon from the "Black Workshop", and after being identified by the "Railway Gendarmerie" appraisal department, it was said that with the sighting device, under the circumstances, it was possible to see something beyond 500 centimeters.

"If you can see it, it's not hard." Without thinking, GarcΓ­a replied, "Of course I can't, but of course the snipers in the regiment can do it...... Besides, I don't know if you mean it, but even that guy Jeno can do it. ”

"Really...... Sure enough. In his heart, Heiliga has basically reached a conclusion about this conclusion. He quickly explained the cause and effect of this incident, "It stands to reason that the aristocratic faction is behind the terrorists, which should be known to everyone, but at that time, it was mysteriously destroyed...... The sniper hiding in the shadows, and the incident of shooting the spaceship itself, are even more indescribably strange. ”

"Let's just think the terrorists aren't dead." Garcia naturally knew what Helliga meant, "So? ”

"Have you forgotten their purpose? Their purpose has always been Prime Minister Osborne. "Prime Minister Osborne has never been seen in public since terrorists officially came into the spotlight...... After this incident at the Garelian Fortress, he had to stand up and express the attitude of the Imperial Government towards Crossbell's "wrongdoing" - a public speech, most likely in the "Place de la Draquerces". ”

"......" Garcia knew this placeβ€”it was extremely wide and magnificent, and only the statue of the Great could be seen in the whole square.

"A great opportunity to stab...... If it's the sniper who wrecked the airship. Martha muttered to herself, and she understood what Heliga meant.

Prime Minister Osborne...... No other way. He had to be there at that time.

"And that sniper...... There is a good chance that they will occur at the same time. ”
