Chapter 107: Temporary Trust

"In other words, Deputy Commander Vittorio, you have nothing to do with the rebel organization at all?" Patrick asked the first question, followed by the second question, "And in your body, there really is no information related to the leader of the rebel organization?"
Patrick has been by Field's side since the beginning of the group, and is also one of Field's most trusted partners, in fact, more captains will think that Patrick is the deputy leader of the potato mercenary group (Marcus used to be the deputy leader), so Patrick's point-to-point question made the captains present stop whispering and look at Vittorio, wanting to know the short businessman's positive answer.

Vittorio still looked at Fidel and didn't dodge the other's eyes in the slightest, and he replied coldly, "It's okay, I'm no longer a member of the rebels." As for the second question, I have already made it clear that I do not know where the leaders of the rebels are, and I do not know anything about the whereabouts of other cadres and members of the rebels. ā
Vittorio's answer was fairly clear, but the smarter captains also heard some questions that Vittorio didn't answer. The other captains began to ask their own questions, such as how many rebel leaders did Vittorio know, what were the names of those rebel leaders, etc. In short, this internal meeting quickly turned into a meeting to interrogate Vittorio, and in the face of the gossip captains, Fidel did not stop them from asking, after all, the people who asked questions were his trusted subordinates, but this seemingly determined-eyed teenager was the most suspicious person.
"In that case, then you can write everything you know on a piece of paper, and then hand it over to the teacher of the Peace Grave Military Academy named Newt, and solve our troubles by the way. Luca didn't realize that what he had just said had revealed about the spy teacher, and Vittorio's speculative language had caused Luca to blurt out what had been hidden.
"Yes, since you don't have any value in you that is worth using them, it would be nice to explain it directly, if you really didn't lie, those guys from the capital won't embarrass us, right?!" Noor chimed in.
Fidel had noticed that the captains were talking nonsense, but he still didn't stop Luka from shaking things out, and he noticed the expression on Vittorio's face as if he was saying, "As I expected." ā
Vittorio answered most of the questions posed by the other captains, and he didn't ask a single rhetorical question, showing a docile attitude. This reaction satisfied several captains, who did not know what the spy teacher had asked for - Fidel was spying on Vittorio without anyone knowing, and now Vittorio knew that someone was spying on him, but from another point of view, it could be said that Vittorio himself guessed that someone from the Peace Grave Military Academy was watching him.
"The power of the rebels is greater than we imagined, their main base is indeed in the middle of the three principalities, and many of the cadres and members of the rebels are in the Principality of Mageni, but there are also members of the Rebel Organization in other countries on the mainland, and they just regard the ducal regime of the Duchy of Mageni as the first target that should be overthrown. Vittorio said lightly.
"If the truth is not as Vittorio said, with the participation of nobles from other countries, this rebel organization that instigated the revolt of the common people would not be so strong, it seems that this force is not simple. Rigu's words were convincing to Vittorio, who nodded his head at the right time.
Vittorio went on to explain in words: "The purpose of the rebel organization is to establish a state dominated by the common people, to eliminate the aristocracy, which has always been the ruling class, and to establish a state similar to a republic. They did not agree with the system of the Republic of Marvier, believing that it was just an empire dressed in the guise of a republic, and that the senators and consuls were just another form of aristocracy, and there was no real fairness and justice at all, so once the rebels succeeded in overthrowing the regime of the Duchy of Mageni, then the Duchy of Mageni would be the birthplace of the new republic and the birthplace of civilian power. ā
Vittorio said at the end, and there was a little more excitement in his voice, as if this was what he was saying from the bottom of his heart, but he had never found a chance to tell others.
Patrick: "That's your political opinion, isn't it?"
Vittorio looked at the other party and replied cautiously: "This is the political point of view of the Rebel Army, I just hope to be able to serve as a conscientious deputy head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, the ideals of the Rebel Army have nothing to do with me, that is not what I pursue." ā
The humble attitude and gentle tone made several captains, including Selena, begin to identify with Vittorio, who did not gain the respect of others when he brought money into the group as a businessman, but now after three months of living together, his ability has been recognized, coupled with the current face-to-face Q&A, most of the captains have been relieved in their hearts, it depends on how Captain Feder deals with Vittorio and those spy teachers who came from the Black Swamp.
"I am willing to continue to stay in the Potato Mercenary Group, continue to serve as the right and left hand of Captain Feide, and build the strongest mercenary group on the continent. Vittorio's last sentence was final, indicating his current wishes, and Ligu, Winoti, and the others all nodded slightly.
Fei De looked at the cadet medal and the certificate, "I plan to transfer you to the deputy superintendent, as for the vacancy of the post of deputy commander, let it be vacant for the time being, and wait until there is a suitable person and time to arrange." However, the captains soon realized that the head of the group still had some concerns, after all, the position of the deputy head was both real and false, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate to let a suspicious outsider take the position, and the position of the deputy head was only requested by Vittorio himself, and now Fide's transfer can also be regarded as Fidel's reuse of Vittorio.
Reeves touched the top of his head, which didn't have much hair, "It's also a good thing to have a deputy superintendent, anyway, Vittorio's previous work also involved the work of the warlord, so Vittorio will continue to work hard in the future!"
The others also changed their minds and immediately echoed Reeves, congratulating Vittorio on becoming the deputy superintendent. With a kind smile on his face, Vittorio said that this decision will not affect his desire to continue working hard, and he hopes that all his colleagues will trust him and support his work.
After that, when Fide left only Lukka and Patrick, and the rest of the captains left the room, Fidel said: "I can see that he is still hiding, but what he said is true." ā
"Then why should we keep him around?" Lukka asked, puzzled, "why don't we get him caught and sent to Newt and leave them with all this trouble, we don't want to get involved in it anyway!"
"Have you forgotten what Newt told us to do in the first place?" Fidel's words surprised Luca, and the young cavalry leader suddenly realized that Vittorio had just used "speculative" language to tell him the secret that Newt wanted them to keep!
"Subordinate... subordinates..."
Fidel personally put the certificate away, and asked Luca to return the certificate and medal to Vittorio, he gradually recalled Vittorio's mysterious words and attitude, "Let him know that there is nothing wrong with it, because I paid attention to Vittorio's actions before Newt, and if he had secretly colluded with the rebels, we must have known about it." Besides, the spy teachers sent from the Black Swamp are even more nervous than we are, they are not only watching Vittorio but also us, and no one can gain the trust of those people, if Vittorio is really trustworthy, I would rather choose him. Fede rarely explained so much, perhaps because Lukka was sweating with self-blame, or because he wanted his henchmen to be more aware of his intentions.
Lukka picked up the rolled up parchment scroll and medallion and prepared to walk out the door, "Don't be too nervous, we still have a lot to do. Fidel said before Luca opened the door. Lukka nodded, and then took the order.
"In that case, even if Vittorio does have a secret agreement with the rebels, he can't influence us, right?" Patrick said beside Fidel, "but with his background, there's no reason to be a small logistics superintendent here." ā
Fide crossed his fingers, supported his chin with the back of his hand, and said: "Vittorio is not simple, you will monitor his every move in the future, from today onwards, I will rethink how to deal with the problem of the rebels." ā
"That's... How do you explain to the secret agent teacher?"
"No need to explain. ā
After Vittorio served as the deputy superintendent, Reeves bluntly said that his workload was greatly reduced, because Vittorio's performance was outstanding, so many mercenaries felt that the "demotion" of Captain Fed's handling was a bit inappropriate, but all the captains did not talk about the internal meeting, and everyone seemed to have obtained many secrets from the meeting, but they all consciously and tacitly did not talk about these things.
Winter is coming soon, and the potato mercenary group has also entered a "hibernation period" of recuperation, in addition to the nobles of Dumu City will invite Fei De from time to time, Miss Maevie of Fangta City also often appears in Dutree City, inviting the captains of the potato mercenary group to participate in the banquet. The blonde aristocratic lady seemed to have stayed in Phalanta City since the last embarrassing situation, and even after Feld was ambushed by the Oak Mercenary Regiment, she didn't show up to offer condolences, and Noor and they also joked that the young lady had married a new love and no longer liked their Fidel leader.
The arrival of November had led to a better reputation for the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and the vicious rumors had diminished, with Herman claiming to be his own credit, and Maev saying that she had persuaded her mother, Lady Eli, to gain the support of the other nobles. If Vaughn is caught now, then this may be a cold winter to survive in warmth.
