This man turned out to be an agent of the army, and he kept up with his footsteps! Duchamp cursed in his heart, sped up his speed, and sped in the direction of Julai. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The agent hesitated slightly, but continued in the direction of Eagle Pass.

After getting out of the car, he showed his ID to the sentry: "I'm looking for your commander." ”

The soldier looked at the daunting word gendarme on the document and hurriedly trotted upstairs to report.

The agent followed the sentry and went straight into the captain's office, and although his rank was more than a rank lower than that of the garrison commander at Eagle Pass, he took out a document and issued the order:

"According to the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the special supervision of the defense of the Eagle Pass, the order is as follows: From now on, the daily duty force of the Eagle Pass will be increased from one squadron to two squadrons, in addition to strengthening the implementation of the 'anti-smuggling order', troops must be dispatched to closely inspect the surrounding defense lines and villages and towns, guard against the rise of local smuggling, and focus on the inspection area, along the border of the Achige Mountains, from Hongshi Town to the Ditai River, a total of 500 sels distance of defense range."

The commander of Eagle Pass said in his heart, "There is no road in this area, and this inspection is not to let the soldiers walk from the wilderness, and it is strange if the people below do not jump their feet", while respectfully accepting the official document stamped with the grand seal of the gendarmerie, and said with a smile on his face: "Second Lieutenant Marquez has worked hard from afar, do you want to go to the canteen for lunch before leaving." ”

The agent who turned into a gendarmerie shook his head: "There is no need to eat, I will leave later, but I hope you can find out one thing for me immediately, there is a black off-road vehicle with an imperial capital license plate, what did you do when you came to Eagle Pass this morning?" ”

After a while, he got the answer, frowned, and returned to the city, heading straight for the governor's palace.

"That envoy of Gatapuniya seems to be very active in Julai, and this morning he sent another of his men to pass through the customs, presumably to report back on the progress. Smuggling on the border between Julay and Gatapunia has become more and more active recently, presumably related to the envoy's actions in Julai. However, the army only patrolled along the main roads, and such inspections were not satisfactory. Although an official document of supervision was issued today, I am afraid that it has not been able to put an end to it. ”

The Governor snorted, dissatisfied with the slackness of the army, but now was not the time to exhaustively investigate the issue. "We can't be distracted lately, let's put this matter aside for now, you go and keep an eye on Delgado and the group of councillors, and make sure that the number of councillors attending the banquet reaches the quorum."

Márquez was instructed by the Governor to visit the Speaker at once, and when he arrived at the Speaker's mansion, the last thing he wanted to see happened. Outside the door of the speaker, there was a black guide car with an imperial capital license plate, and the envoy was standing in front of the speaker's door, talking to another councilor.

After Duchamp had turned back from Eagle Pass, Cullo came over and talked to him about the purpose of holding a banquet for the Speaker, and advised them to do it as soon as possible. "Delgado is an old fox, and you want him to agree to initiate a proposal among the parliamentarians to restore the trade route between Julay and Gatapunia, which seems to me to be basically impossible, so don't have such illusions."

Duchamp frowned and thought for a long time. In order to find out the position of the speaker, there was this presumptuous visit.

When the speaker heard that Duchamp had asked for an audience, he immediately fell into a dilemma, and if he ignored him coldly, the envoy would certainly not attend the banquet; And if you meet face-to-face, you will have to make certain promises, causing unnecessary misunderstandings. After thinking for a long time, he instructed his loyal subordinates on the side to come forward to Duchamp: "You tell him that the key to the resolution lies in the support of the parliamentarians, and I can only listen to the intentions of the parliamentarians at the banquet and decide, and I cannot give any promises at this time." ”

Councillor Cassel had his own understanding of this sentence, and when he walked to the door, his reply to Duchamp had become: "The speaker said that his resolution can only be decided by listening to the intentions of the parliamentarians, and the intentions of the parliamentarians are closely related to their own interests. ”

When Duchamp heard this answer, he was deeply embarrassed: "But I am not familiar with the parliamentarians of Julai, how can I contact and influence their intentions?" ”

Councillor Cassel twisted his mustache and gave Duchamp an idea: "Although most of the Julai's parliamentarians support the speaker, there are also a considerable number of people, headed by councillor Torbay, who often disagree with the speaker in politics. The Speaker's concerns are no different. If you can convince Councillor Torbay to get his faction to support the bill, then it would be feasible for Parliament to issue a message to the military. ”

Councillor Cassel is willing to point out Duchamp in this way, and he has his own purpose. He paid special attention to whether the mine was reunited, and at such an urgent juncture, Cassel himself was anxious to understand the position of Torbay and others, but unfortunately the relationship between the two was not harmonious. He deliberately asked Duchamp to test first, and if the two sides could reach an agreement on the issue of Gatapunia, then on the issue of mines, they would naturally also agree.

"Remember, Torbay is a good-looking person, don't talk about the tacit understanding between you and us when we meet for the first time, and don't promise benefits first, you must start with the economic and price stability of the two places, and finally hint at some benefits." He spoke enthusiastically, Duchamp listened intently, neither of them noticing the secret agent hidden in the shadow.

In order to confirm the validity of what Councillor Cassel had said, Duchamp went back to confirm with Coullo, who also agreed to visit Torbay. "Delgado's promise to that old fox is worthless, but Torbay is a bit of a vanity among the councillors, and his promise may be worth a few miles!"

Before dinner time, Governor Julay learned of Duchamp's latest movements and could not help but fall into shock. "You're saying that it's possible for the two factions of Julai's parliamentarians to join forces now?"

"There are signs of that. Now the pro-Delgado lawmakers are rumoring that at the banquet the day after tomorrow, Delgado will discuss with everyone whether to vote against the mine merger bill. It is said that Torbay has spoken out that if Delgado raises the issue, he will abandon his preconceived notions in support. ”

The governor angrily asked his subordinates, "Do you think Delgado still has the courage to take advantage of this opportunity to turn the tables in one fell swoop?" ”

Evan, the subordinate who went to negotiate with Delgado, stepped forward and stated his judgment: "Delgado is a man who never gives up easily, and he knows very well that once he does what we ask, he will inevitably lose his credibility among the parliamentarians, and his political career will come to an end. According to his character, the dying struggle is not impossible. ”

The Governor looked out the window at the night and muttered to himself to the sky: "To tell you the truth, I want him to struggle, and the harder he struggles, the tighter the rope around his neck!" If he continues to shrink like he does now, it will be difficult for me to make up my mind. ”

He turned around, looked at his subordinates whose eyes were red, and ordered: "Contact the imperial capital immediately, and let the investigator come with that secret file, and be sure to arrive before September 3rd!" ”
