It was destined to be a sleepless night.

The lights in the office of the Marquis of Peter were kept on, so much so that the black seal and the beggar did not close their eyes all night.

The Q soldier of the shadow team received an order: an unknown dangerous person appeared next to Yu Zimo, and his consciousness showed signs of being controlled for a short time.

Early the next morning. Peter asked the secretary to inform the Duke of the temporary trio delineated for this trip, that is, the supreme trio composed of the second marquis Peter, the third count Alexander, and the fourth viscount Ming Qiushan. Quickly rushed to the Himalayan base to convene an emergency meeting.

The Duke was able to choose these three in the Divine Lordship, and it was not cronyism as some people said. On the contrary, these three people are all independent on the surface, never clinging to the powerful, and in all the important meetings of the Shenjue Gate, they are all iron-clad men who dare to speak up. The biggest thing in their hearts is the people's livelihood, and the loudest slogan is: to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to receive a school for the saints, and to open peace for all generations. In order to achieve this goal, even if you die, you will not give up. Although the slogan is a bit too big, there is an idea that is still worth affirming.

Not to mention Peter, who was the most qualified person to contradict the Duke on the surface. Some people even look forward to seeing the big drama of him fighting openly and secretly with the duke all day long. When the Duke traveled, whenever he encountered any danger, these people would put the blame on Peter, and they believed that only he had the courage and strength to do something against the sky. Of course, Peter knows this, and Zhao Bingguo is even more insightful.

However, these two political enemies on the surface, heroes who secretly cherish each other and respect each other, tacitly do not pierce this layer of window paper. Perhaps, only their minds will realize that the state has died out, and the form of the Confederation has emerged, which is equivalent to the management of the regime, which is the greatest politics of the moment, and politics needs opponents and balances. It is much easier for them to maintain this balance than it is to deal with a real adversary and political opponent who cannot be guarded against.

So, from this point of view, the Duke was really relieved to hand over the temporary command to the trio, or rather to Peter.

Of course, people who are not high in the pattern can't see this, and people who are afraid that the world is not chaotic will not see it this way. Even the two important ministers, including Count Alexander and Viscount Ming Qiushan, failed to realize this.

Yesterday, when the Duke's special plane "Bingguo" suddenly appeared at the Chaka Salt Lake base, they learned no later than Peter. In the minutes following the Duke receiving Peter's call, they did the same thing one after another: to report to the Duke what the Marquis of Peter had done in the days since the Duke had been gone.

The Earl of Alexander, the shrewd Jew, the Confederate Minister of Finance and Economics, told the Duke flatteringly that Peter wanted to take advantage of your absence to use the annual extra-budgetary funds for the purchase of strategic equipment, which I had denied in the name of the Chancellor of Finance and Economics, and that the use of extra-budgetary funds must be approved by the Duke's signature. The Duke didn't say anything about it, but just asked, is there anything going on in the Confederacy?

The Minister of Discipline Inspection and Supervision, Ming Qiushan, mysteriously revealed that during the Duke's travels, the Confederate Security Guard was frequently transferred, and Major General Jack David, who was in charge of the security department, was obviously a close confidant of Marquis Peter and was obedient to Peter. I had interviewed him, but he was uplifted, saying that it was the annual routine training, that Marquis Peter was a person who really understood military affairs, and that he was one of the top leaders of the Confederacy, so what was wrong with him coming to command, and so on. He had ordered missile launch experiments from the ground, in the air and under water. The duke asked, is the news reliable? Ming Qiushan's answer was that Xiandao.com said so, and I can't see it as a fake. They were blatantly declaring war on the duke. Until the duke interrupted him, the minister was still chattering.

The three of them showed up on time in the small conference room. Peter was the host of course, announcing the news of the duke's safe return to the Chaka salt lake base, but it was not clear when the duke would return to the Confederation to perform his duties, since the duke did not give a timetable, everyone here had to stand on the last shift, as for the time, it could be a day or two, or it could be a month or so.

The Duke's statement is not groundless. As early as the day before, the Duke held a press conference through his wife Lin Xiuzhi, and the host of the press conference, Baron Lin Yun, the lady's personal assistant, revealed that the Duke had a plan for a private visit to Weifu, and the time and purpose were also very clear.

The Marquis of Peter was a man at the height of his power, and he knew that political dignitaries had a different way of conveying information. Since the lady suddenly held a press conference, it must have been the duke's instructions, and the information released was naturally related to the duke's whereabouts. However, this point has not attracted enough attention from ordinary people.

Count Alexander spoke first, and he said, "Since the Duke has returned to the base, indicating that the Duke's mission this time is basically completed, I think we should urge the Duke to return to perform his duties as soon as possible." In this way, we can also be freed from it.

Ming Qiushan said more directly, the duke has returned safely, if the temporary trio is not disbanded in time, then who will issue the supreme decree of the Confederacy? In my opinion, we cannot dominate this position, and we should take the initiative to dissolve it on the spot, so as not to cause unnecessary confusion due to multiple political affairs.

Peter did not respond directly to their words. He lit the tobacco in his cigarette pouch and said slowly, what the two of them said made sense, it was easy to disband the trio immediately, and it was easy to hand over power. But in this way, it is tantamount to admitting that we have not finished our work and handed it in, which is extremely irresponsible. The guest officer also exposed our dereliction of duty or dereliction of duty during this time.

Before returning to the base, the Duke passed through the Pacific Ocean, first encountering UFOs, and then encountering three-dimensional attacks from the land, sea and air.

This incident has been broadcast live on Xiandao.com, so who can still cover it? This incident happened during the period when our three-person group was performing its acting functions, and it is a matter of course within our authority. Think about it, what is one of the most important responsibilities of our trio? and that is to ensure the safety of the leaders of the Confederate. Now it's the duke's trip, accidents are frequent, don't check the truth, don't say that it is difficult to block the mouth of the world, even in the face of the consultation of the gods and lords, we will also be speechless, where is the face at that time?

When Peter finished speaking, the scene was silent.

Peter's speech was penetrating, logical, and impeccable. Alexander and Ming Qiushan have always been known for their eloquence, and the reason why they are speechless at this moment is nothing more than being targeted by the marquis, and they feel that their selfish thoughts of avoiding the important and trivializing are exposed in front of the marquis.

"Your Excellency, Lord Marquis, you are right. But something like the attack on the Duke was a complete emergency. Whether it is the enemy who has been planning for a long time, colluding with inside and outside, or someone is openly repairing the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, we are only temporarily responsible for this, and if we do not grasp the security resources within the Confederacy, we are really powerless in a short time. The young Ming Qiushan rushed to speak, and the method of shirking responsibility was perfect.

"The Viscount's words are not unreasonable, and according to the Marquis, we have an unshirkable responsibility. But, I dare say that even if we have a suspicion, we may not be able to find evidence. The opponent must be a mysterious organization with great cunning and huge power, otherwise who would dare to attack the highest real power figure in the Confederacy. Count Alexander seemed to have something to say, but he did not dare to say it deeply, so he did not speak so confidently. After saying that, the Earl and the Viscount exchanged glances.

"Finished?" said the Marquis of Peter, who knocked off the ashes in the ashtray on the table, his golden hair was still a little messy, his garlic red nose was particularly eye-catching, and his small eyes were blinking, but they also radiated a sharp light.

"Is there anything to add?" the Marquis continued to remind, "I haven't heard any rumors outside?" for example, the Duke's distress this time was entirely the result of the struggle for power and profit within the Shenjue Gate, and some people even said that it was a dog eating a dog. ”

The earl and the viscount glanced at each other, and invariably showed an embarrassed smile, and shook their heads in unison, arguing, no, no.

I've heard a lot of rumors, and there's only one that has been the most powerful. The Marquis was about to speak and stopped, but he firmly attracted the attention of the two people in front of him.

It is rumored that the duke's distress this time is actually the Marquis Peter. Because if the duke is killed, the most promising person to be promoted to a first-class duke is Marquis Peter, not to mention that Marquis Peter was originally the head of Hualong Hi-Tech, and Hualong Hi-Tech's strength is all over the world, and killing the duke is just a piece of cake. If it weren't for the duke's fate, this time it would really be difficult to escape. Peter quietly recounted the rumors as if they had nothing to do with him.

After finishing speaking, he smiled and looked at the two opposite, only to see that the two lords looked extremely unnatural, and their faces were red and white.

knocked on the cigarette pouch and said, do the two lords think that the rumors in the market are also somewhat reasonable?

"No, no, it's just nonsense, it's complete nonsense. Viscount Ming Qiushan said indignantly.

"It's really unreasonable, obviously sowing discord, lest the world be chaotic. "Count Alexander is unfair.

"Two lords, believe everything, doubt everything. Since the rumors have involved me, I am willing to actively cooperate with the investigation. Peter said sincerely. "After I look at today's meeting, let's start investigating. Viscount Akiyama, you are the Minister of Discipline Inspection and Supervision, and you have experience in asking questions, so I think you will take the lead in investigating the Marquis's problem. Count Alexander gives support in terms of financial and material resources, be your assistant, Chancellor of the Exchequer, no matter what department you go to investigate and collect evidence, people will always give face. Do you have any other opinions?"

The two lords looked at each other, their faces were quite embarrassed, and they pushed each other for a few rounds, Viscount Akiyama said, Marquis, it's just a rumor, there is no need to carry out an internal investigation. It's not going to affect you well.

"Don't worry about that. Both of you also know that my reputation has not been very good. Check it out, maybe you can get me justice. It's good to give the world an explanation. Marquis Peter said righteously.

This confederation supreme meeting was not long, and at the end of the hour, just after the hour, the three lords came out of the conference room with solemn expressions.

Marquis Peter asked Viscount Akiyama to check himself, and he made a statement at the meeting. However, Viscount Akiyama felt a lot of pressure. First of all, the Marquis of Peter held a higher position than himself, and without any evidence, he rashly went to investigate a high-ranking official of the Confederation, not only had no basis in law, but also everyone knew that although Peter stepped down from the post of chairman of Hualong Hi-Tech, he was also awarded the honorary chairman of the final review of the board of directors of Hualong Hi-Tech. In fact, as the founder of Hualong Hi-Tech, the current chairman Yokoyama Ichiro is just Peter's pony boy more than ten years ago, and he has always been obedient to Peter. Moreover, over the decades, Peter had cultivated a large number of cronies, many of whom were willing to die for them. Therefore, if the young Viscount Akiyama acted rashly, he would face great resistance and even danger both openly and secretly.

Similarly, Count Alexander also acquiesced to the Marquis's decision, which is equivalent to supporting the investigation of the Marquis Peter, which means that there are actually suspicions about the Marquis, but it is inconvenient to say it.

In fact, the outcome of the development of the matter was already decided: if it was found out that Peter was indeed behind the attack on the duke, then the two lords must be meritorious men, and if it was finally found out that Peter was innocent, the rumors were completely framed, and the two were also meritorious heroes.

As a meritorious person, the outcome must be the same, the former died on the way to investigate the case, will the mastermind behind the scenes be stupid enough to let you investigate? The latter was sentenced to death by death on suspicion of defamation. The Marquis is obviously upright and bright, but you are arguing with high-ranking officials behind your back, and your intention is not very clear?

After a brief meeting, Marquis Peter had already set the ending for the two lords. As for the length of time, it depends on how the two position the characters.

When the marquis returned to his office with a pipe in his mouth, Xiandao.com was broadcasting live the interview with Zhao Bingguo with Yu Zimo. In fact, it was entirely because the familiar voice attracted him that he took a look at his beloved little girl.

The picture is clear and familiar, but apparently the footage has been specially processed, and the VIP room at the Salt Lake base is the background of the interview, and the superfluous characters have been technically processed. The moment Peter looked up, it was just in time for Zhao Bingguo to answer Zimo's question.

The duke said unhurriedly, the harvest of this trip, Mrs. Lin Xiuzhi has been announced at the press conference, and you must already know it. As for Miss Zimo's question about whether there have been any major moves in the Confederation recently, what I want to say is that at the Madame's press conference, the information revealed by the host, Baron Lin Yun, is credible.

Marquis Peter muttered, "Two lords, then your investigation won't take more than a month, right?"
