Volume 3: Shadow War Chapter 35: Intrigue and Intrigues

As Alberta had just left the train station in Singert, he was confronted by a man who looked closely and was Lieutenant Colonel Erta.

Alberta wondered why Lieutenant Colonel Erta had found him, and had been able to find him so quickly. At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Elta came up to Alberta's side, and the former Lieutenant Colonel said to Alberta, "Alberta, there are some things I need to talk to you about!" ”

Alberta was stunned, and he hurriedly said, "You're not afraid of revealing our identities?" And ......"

Elta tensed up, as if he didn't trust Alberta at all, and he slammed into Alberta, "Exposed? I guess if I don't find you again, you'll put the muzzle of your gun on my neck!" Then I was the one who fell to the ground and groaned! ”

Alberta looked at Lieutenant Colonel Elta in shock: "Your Excellency, how could you say that?" Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, let's go to the corner and talk about this! ”

Alberta crowded Lieutenant Colonel Erta into the corner of the exit of the train station, and Alberta said to Erta anxiously: "Your Excellency, Honorable Lieutenant Colonel, why do you say that!" What is there about me that makes you distrust me like this? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Elta glared at Alberta, like an angry lion, and he rebuked Alberta, "When are you going to tell me!" You betrayal! ”

Alberta looked at Lieutenant Colonel Erta differently, and he guessed that Lieutenant Colonel Erta should know that he was connected to the super-wealthy businessman named Mr. Otayat, but Alberta seemed reluctant to tell Lta about his connection to Mr. Otayat. In fact, he was afraid that Lieutenant Colonel Erta would misidentify him, so he might as well take this opportunity to let Lieutenant Colonel Erta tell him about it: he guessed that Lieutenant Colonel Erta had already known about Alberta's connection with Mr. Ortayat through some channel, and at this time there would be something more suspicious about his defense, so it was better to let Lieutenant Colonel Erta himself say what kind of doubts he had!

So Alberta wondered and said, "Dear Lieutenant Colonel Elta, what are you talking about!" ”

"Oh! Mr. Alberta, do you think I'm blind, deaf? I wonder if the man, Mr. Otayat, has already contacted you? And you agreed to his request! I tell you, Alberta, there are so many temptations in our line of business, and I have seen countless of my companions who have lost their faith and ideals because of great temptations! Or even their beliefs! I need you to stand up for your righteousness, how can you be so deceived? ”

Alberta was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Dear Mr. Elta, I have not betrayed my faith in the slightest. I believe in supreme justice, I believe in the victory of the Epacleans in their war against the Empire, and my ideal is that the citizens of the port of Epalai can live a carefree life without fear as they do now. Come here, Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel Elta. I have a plan to get enough out of Mr. Otayat and at the same time to keep Dzerkatsky, a steel tycoon, squeezed out of the Empire! ”

After Alberta finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Elta was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "What are you going to do?" Alberta did not respond to Lieutenant Colonel Elta's words, but he said sharply: "Your Excellency, how much do you distrust me?" You sent someone to spy on me! Otherwise, how did you find out about the secret conversation between Mr. Otayat and me? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Erta coughed lightly as he turned to Alberta and said, "Surveillance is happening to you. I did send someone to spy on you, and even then there was an affair with Mr. Otayat. ”

Alberta thought for a moment: "My entire identity is known to Mr. Otayat, and even you are known to Mr. Otayat!" I don't think such a thing is a good thing. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Elta pondered for a while: "I think there are spies inside us, someone has been bought!" But, Alberta, you haven't made it clear yet, how do you kill two birds with one stone? ”

Alberta thought for a moment, and then he turned to Lieutenant Colonel Elta, "Mr. Otayat's request is to kill the Faltober tycoon of the Castilipa as a Castilipa. Would this be of great benefit to him? Because although the tycoon of Faltober is a Castilipa, he is the only tycoon in the port of Epale who does not face the empire or the Casdilipas. ”

Alberta paused for this, and he continued: "I've been wondering why the business giants who control the world's coal, steel, metallurgy, shipbuilding, and ore industries would want to kill a small local leader in the port of Epalai? ”

After Alberta finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Elta listened to him quietly, and Alberta continued: "Because Tycoon Faltober must have something, or a handle, or an object, or an intelligence, that makes Mr. Otayat very uncomfortable. And this source is very likely to have something to do with the empire, so he didn't dare to come forward, otherwise he was afraid of affecting the empire. Alberta paused, and after a moment of thought, continued: "Therefore...... I'm going to get rid of this Faltober tycoon and blame Dzerkatsky. This was the fulfillment of Mr. Otayat's request, and the second was to make the Reich suspicious of Dzerkatsky. And also for the Duchy of Castilipa to get rid of the person Faltober. ”

After Alberta finished speaking, Principal Elta sighed, "How can I trust your loyalty?" ”

Alberta was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "You have no doubt about my loyalty!" If I didn't have loyalty, I'd go straight to the assassination of Faltober, who is in the town of Artemt. There is a good chance that he will be with the rebels! And for me, going to the town of Artemt is one of the things I need to do! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Elta muttered, "What's the matter? ”

Alberta thought for a moment: "I want to prove my faith with my actions: I have always fought for justice!" ”

After Alberta finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Erta pondered for a while, and then Lieutenant Principal Erta sighed and said, "Actually, I believe in your loyalty, and I can tell you clearly!" Mr. Ortayat, all the information of that tycoon was not obtained by means of espionage, that is, all the information about you was actually revealed to him by me! ”

As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Erta's voice fell, Alberta looked at Lieutenant Colonel Erta differently...... The lieutenant colonel continued: "And Mr. Otayat took this train, which was also arranged by me, do you remember that I got on the train first at the railway station in Aposinka? Actually, my destination was the train station in the city of Singert! I'm here to see you. All of this has been arranged by me a long time ago! ”

Alberta's face changed a little, and he said sharply, "Then I've become your bait!" You ......"

Lieutenant Colonel Elta raised his hand and motioned for Alberta to stop complaining. He said to Alberta, "You can think so! But...... If you're a man with no loyalty, you're going to flatter Mr. Otayat on the train, and then I'll get rid of you without any doubt! But you didn't. I tested your last loyalty! You're still telling the truth...... In our industry, one of the most direct ways to see your loyalty is to see how far apart what you say from what you tell is true...... That's all it takes to know if you're loyal or not. And I have a way of killing two birds with one stone, not only can I test your loyalty, but I can also use you as bait to catch Mr. Otayat! As for all that Mr. Otayat knows about you, it is that our Castilipa spy agency has deliberately disclosed your information to the spies within us who have defected, and to the spies who have defected, and you have been deliberately chosen by Mr. Otayat. In fact, all this was arranged by the spy agency. ”

Alberta was silent...... He was a little angry, but didn't have a seizure. "You use me as a gun! Did you know it would kill me? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Elta said sharply: "Alberta, you must always remember that in troubled times, only power is your friend!" Otherwise...... Everything is your enemy or neutral! Only when you have the power can you be qualified to make friends, and the great friends who really have no interest in you are still the power! If you easily rebel, you are not one of our people, and I will naturally get rid of you without any doubts...... If you die because of this, I will naturally not spare your death at all, because you are not this material, and you are not qualified to live in this war of blood and fire! ”

Alberta was left speechless...... After a long time, he said silently: "So naturally, I have to accept my fate when I become a bait?" ”

And his lieutenant colonel shook his head: "With what I know of you, if you are still the same boy who survived the port of Epalai during the invasion of the Empire...... Your tenacity will will make you overcome these obstacles! ”

Alberta was silent...... It's a default. Lieutenant Colonel Elta smiled: "But it's a good thing I showed up, otherwise you really killed the Faltober tycoon, and it would be too late to regret it...... According to me, I took advantage of you, so naturally I won't use it in vain! Haven't you been worrying about money? ”

When Alberta heard this, he said very happily: "Give me 10,000 gold coins for nothing?" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Elta shook his head at Alberta and said, "You're thinking so well! Where do I have so much money for you to do alone? I don't even know where to go to pull a lot of movable money for me right now! ”
