1942 Counterattack (7)
The weather in April is still some distance away from the heat, Tang Ruyue's figure got off a rented carriage, a black skirt revealing a bit of moving charm, in Central Bia's advocating of slender beauty standards, her figure because of the perennial dancing relationship but less than a body of fitness, according to Varisian, this woman's appearance is not the most beautiful, but that touch of style is indeed difficult to resist, at this moment, the liaison officer of the Central Biya Falcon Empire is raising his head, delicate and seductive gaze, projected to the Lisbonto City garrison base camp in front,
It is a four-storey square building, fronted by white marble steps, flanked by huge flower beds, in the April season, two flower beds are full of colorful flowers, at the door, a row of stern-looking soldiers check the identity of people coming and going, most of them are soldiers, a few are merchants, and two verdant evergreen pines are lined up like sentinels on both sides of the road
"Miss, do we really want to do this? In this way, the matter of secret negotiations will be made public, and once something goes wrong, no one knows what will happen!" the little maid asked with a nervous expression, standing behind her
"Although we know it's dangerous, it's the only way we can do it!" Tang Ruyue said with a cold face. Although I don't know the identity and name of the other party, but Varisian is the highest military governor of the Falcon Empire in the Putau region, and his status is equivalent to that of a governor, that bad attitude of the fat man in Central Bya, after all, is still Varisian's subordinate, and I don't believe that Lord Varisian will be temporarily entrusted to others at the last moment for such an important matter, I suspect that he has already been bought by others, and this time I don't know what method was used, and he was the last person to sign to break this agreement! I suspect that the fat man's identity is fake!" "Others?Miss refers to the Song clan who has never shown up?" The little maid sneered slightly, "Song clan? impossible!" Tang Ruyue shook her head, her eyes flickered, and said, "Among the four first-class wealthy families in the empire, the most unlikely person to make a move in this matter is the Song clan, because they are not orthodox wealthy families, they are barbarians in the south." There is no bloodline of a wealthy family, let alone the identity and background of gathering people's hearts, the name is not right, the original royal family surname is completely to balance the power of the three clans, only to reluctantly add the Song clan of the southern barbarians, for hundreds of years, the Song clan has always been a maverick, most of the royal family's orders are ignored, and there has never been a sense of a wealthy family"
"In fact, everyone knows very well that it is not the turn of a barbarian wealthy family to rule the world"
"So even if the Song clan owns iron ore, it will not be of much use. Others won't listen to them" Tang Ruyue's voice paused, and she took a deep breath, "What I'm worried about is that behind this matter is the Destiny Creation Division of the Royal Clan's martial surname!"
When the little girl heard this word, her face became stern, her face looked unnatural, her delicate ten fingers were clenched together, and her white knuckles made a gurgling sound
Only the people of Central Bia know how terrible the existence of the royal family that has ruled Central Bia for hundreds of years, and the royal family is also called the "Heavenly Clan" in Central Bia, claiming to be the master of the Mandate of Heaven
The intelligence department under his command is called the Department of Destiny, and there are many masters in it. The intelligence system built by the four wealthy families has fought against the Destiny Creation Division several times in the past hundred years, and each time it ended in a dismal ending, even the little maid's master was involved in an incident and died tragically in the hands of the master of the Destiny Creation Division.
The little maid is very confident in her martial arts, and she thinks that she can't withstand the thousands of miles of pursuit of the Destiny Division. If he is really targeted by the Creation Division, it is a question whether he can go back alive. "If it's really the Destiny Division that notices the movement of our Tang clan, and it's really them behind that fat man. That's really troublesome!" Tang Ruyue's voice paused, "The first strike, the second strike is controlled by others, fortunately, this is not in Central Belgium." It's the Falcon Empire thousands of miles away, we have to get ahead of the other party, find Varisien and directly finalize this matter!"
Tang Ruyue walked to the building and was stopped by the guards at the door
"I'm Tang Ru, the liaison officer of the Central Beya Empire in the Falcon Empire, and I have important business to see Lord Varisian!" Tang Ruyue took out an identity certificate issued by the empire with a cold expression and handed it to the guards in front of him
"The liaison officer of the Central Biya Empire in the Falcon Empire?" The guard soldier took the paperwork and glanced at it strangely, it was printed with the eagle wing seal of the empire, fortunately, in recent times, there have been many liaison officers from other countries who have come to Lisbonto, and the soldier looked at several similar certificates issued by the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"It's not like it's fake!" the guard soldier whispered to his companion with a grim expression, "Go and ask Adjutant Moro for it."
Soon, a middle-aged adjutant came out of the building, he was the adjutant in charge of Varissian's daily affairs, took the certificate from the guard soldiers, looked Tang Ruyue up and down again, and said in a condensed voice, "Hello Miss Tang Ru, I'm Adjutant Moro, I'm sorry, your request can't be completed, Lord Varisian is not in Lisbanto because of urgent matters, please come back another day!"
"Another day, how long will it take?" Tang Ruyue took the certificate from the adjutant chief without giving up, and asked with a gloomy face
"I don't know, in fact, I can't be sure, the only thing that is certain is that it is possible for a few days at the least, or more than ten days!" Moro shrugged his shoulders and said that he was not sure that the war in the north of Putao was about to break out, and the adults had the responsibility of commanding, and this kind of similar inspection was very common!"
"So, Lord Varisien is really not in Lisbonto?" Tang Ruyue's face changed slightly, troublesome, the news that Varisien was not in Lisbento hit her hard, thinking of that hateful Zhongbia fat man with a face that taught him a lesson, Tang Ruyue's unwilling fingers clenched together, and her knuckles were white because of excessive force, "It's true, you can go to the city gate and ask, just this morning, Lord Varisian has already led people to the northern front!"
Adjutant Moro who thought that the other party didn't believe him touched his chin, and said helplessly, "If there is really any urgent matter, I should go to the office of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Department, after all, your identity is the liaison officer of the Central Biya Falcon Empire, I believe that the Foreign Affairs Department is more suitable for you!" "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs? I am afraid that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not be able to decide on this matter! This is a secret involving the two countries!" The corners of Tang Ruyue's mouth twitched slightly, and she seemed disappreciative of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Department, who didn't know that the Foreign Affairs Department of the Falcon Empire was an ornamental institution, and it was the Imperial Military that really decided it. "If Miss still thinks so, it is very wrong. Now in charge of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is Her Royal Highness Princess Turit Colin!" Adjutant Moro said, "In other words, some of the words of the young lady can reach the ears of His Majesty!
"You're saying it's Princess Turit Colin who is now in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
Tang Ruyue's face showed a touch of irrepressible joy, she was in the southwest region some time ago, and she had only arrived in the Putao area not long ago, but she had also heard that the status of this princess was extraordinary, and she heard that she was one of the most favored concubines of the Vecchia Falcon, if it was really the pillow of the Falcon Emperor who was in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it would be more effective than Varisian!"Thank you, Your Excellency, for the reminder!" Tang Ruyue thanked Adjutant Moro, and was not willing to delay for a moment, and stepped into the carriage again. I can't wait to order, "Go to the office of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, Tang Ruyue was received by foreign affairs personnel,
Taking the draft of the agreement from Tang Ruyue's hand, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just glanced at it, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately closed it again, and asked nervously, "Miss Tang Ru, you said that the other party who signed this agreement with you is Lord Valisian, the highest governor of the Imperial Empire in the Putao region. Are you sure?
"Yes, the person with whom I negotiated this agreement is Varisian, I am a native of Central Bya, and I do not know the rules of the Empire. And now the other party to this agreement has chosen to break the agreement, so I have to come here to plead!" Tang Ruyue quietly explained the general process with a look of grievance, and especially emphasized that it was a Chinese who came forward to tear up the agreement in the end. Showing that he was the one who was the victim of the conspiracy, "It's really pitiful, it's obviously a trap set by the forces of our own country!" The official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave her a pitying look.
I heard that the Central Beian Empire has a downward trend recently, and this poor liaison officer in the Central Berean Empire wants to expand the amount of iron ore imported into the country, but he didn't expect to be pitted by the countrymen themselves, and now it is uncertain whether the role played by Varisian in this incident is a private act or an act of the imperial military
"If Miss's description is true, do you know what it means? I must remind Miss that in the Empire, there are also many restrictions on important military ministers!" "I can use my reputation and family to guarantee that what I say is true!" Tang Ruyue said to the place of sympathy, holding the water cup on the table in both hands, crying in a cold low voice, like a woman who has just been deceived,
"I apologize for this agreement, but Lord Varisian, as an important minister, is a bit too much" The foreign affairs official said with a stern face, "Your Excellency is really a good person, but it is Varisian who is the supreme governor of Putao, does Your Excellency really have a way" Tang Ruyue raised her head, her eyes were red from crying, and she said aggrievedly,
"Don't worry, the current Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not what it used to be, and it is Her Royal Highness the Princess who is in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! And Her Highness is in the office now, I will immediately go and present it to Your Highness!" The Foreign Ministry official stood up, picked up the agreement, and walked to the door
Looking at the back of the foreign affairs officer leaving, Tang Ruyue, who was still bleak just now, had a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth, this is what she wanted, just now she heard that Varisian was suddenly throwing off the matter in the morning and going north, and a feeling of being deceived came up, she mistakenly thought that from the beginning, Varisian had been bought by the Central Bebian royal family,
First put on a posture of sincere negotiation, wait until all your hole cards are clear, and then play missing, suddenly replaced,
Completely cut off his mind to sign this agreement, it is really too vicious, that Zhongbia fat man must be the person of the Destiny Division, so he will reprimand himself mercilessly, it must be like this, yes, it was a trap from the beginning! It's so hateful!" The more she thought about it, the more Tang Ruyue felt that she was infinitely close to the truth, and the more difficult it was to suppress the anger in her heart, she wanted to poke this matter thoroughly, and it was best to pass it directly to the ears of Vekia Falcon, in this way, even Varisian would not be able to keep his composure!
Whoever deceives me must pay the price! Tang's white shell-like teeth bit into his rosy lips, showing a faint mark of blood
In the office on the third floor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the bright sunlight shone through the embroidered curtains in the room, and Turiet Colin was examining a report on the Inland Sea, as the pace of the Empire's opening of the Inland Sea officially began, the Inland Sea countries that felt the Empire's maritime power began to frequently make overtures to the Empire, and it was not the submission of the Inland Sea Overlord Aliens. The ports of eleven countries have signed Lend-Lease agreements with the Empire, and the agency that leads the signing of these agreements is the Imperial Foreign Affairs Department, which was previously considered an appendage of the Empire.
For the imperial foreign affairs officers who have been aggrieved for a long time, always watching the military shout about victory with their toes high, and raise their glasses to celebrate long live, this time is simply the feeling of spring. For the first time, the Empire's military deterrence and diplomatic expansion were so coordinated that even the Imperial Admiralty handed over an olive branch
The Imperial Navy also submitted a proposal to the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs, hoping to grant the foreign affairs officer of some important ports the position of admiral of the local fleet, although it was a bare-bones commander with a majority of names and little power, but with such a name, the Imperial fleet could at least use these ports as supply points with great swagger, and could also station a small number of troops of about 100 people. This agreement also has the full support of the Imperial Foreign Ministry,
"There should be some obstacles on the part of the army, but the main problem is still His Majesty! His Majesty should not want to give these foreign officers such power too early! If it is given a few more years, there should be such a possibility!" Turit Colin muttered to herself, merging some of the lists that had already been drawn up. Tucked into her drawer, the sun shines on her slender melon seed face, which looks particularly beautiful from the side,
A bit of a pointed chin. The straight bridge of her nose shows her strong and unyielding character. The long hair that shimmered with an enviable luster was draped over her shoulders, and the faint moth eyebrows were gently raised to the sides in the shape of a crescent moon, like a small butterfly about to fly. Underneath the moth eyebrows are light blue deep eyes. She was quite famous in the departure of the Congo Empire, and she overwhelmed the combined hands of the Alien Sea Country and the Gang African Empire, and almost made the Inland Sea countries collectively defect, although in the end it did not succeed for special reasons, but her name as a cold princess also began to spread, and even surpassed another woman of the same type, the first lady of the Strait Sea Country!
"Bang bang!" there was a knock on the door outside,
"Come in, the door is unlocked!" Turit Colin shouted as she looked up to the door,
A middle-aged foreign affairs officer walked in, holding a Wen Jiàn clip in his hand, with an excited look on his face that could not be concealed: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, a good news, we have just received a complaint from Yan Zòng, which is the complaint of Tang Ru, the liaison officer stationed in the Central Beya Empire!"
"Tang Ru, is she in Lisbonto?" Turit Colin was slightly stunned, she remembered that this woman was not in the Southwest District, how could she send the accusation here? Generally, the Foreign Affairs Department of the Southwest Region took over first, and it would only be sent here if it could not be handled, "Yes, Your Highness, you should really take a look at this, it is the draft of this agreement, on one side of the agreement is Tang Ru, and on the other side is Lord Warisian, the supreme governor of the Putao region!" Although I don't know the authenticity of this agreement, if it is true, Lord Varisian's image is not glorious, and according to the bitter master, that is, what the Tang Ru liaison officer said, when the final sign was signed, Lord Varisian suddenly changed people and sent a Zhongbian, which is a typical trap at all, so it is basically certain that there is a strict problem in this matter! Now I just don't know what kind of role Lord Varisien played in it!"
Turiit Colin read all the contents of the agreement with a cold face, and felt that what his subordinates said made some sense, but he was still a little confused in his heart, even if Varisian really accepted the benefits of the other party, he could have stopped the execution at the last minute and suddenly replaced him with a Central Barian, what happened?" Yes, as far as I know, Lord Varisian did take people to the northern front in a hurry in the morning, and I don't know the reason yet!" replied with a respectful look from the middle-aged foreign affairs officer, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was able to make such a big improvement, and really broke away from the military appendages, all because of the accession of Her Royal Highness the princess, "Did the other party say what the name of the Zhongbian who came to sign the contract was?"
Turit Colin always felt that something was wrong with this draft, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, no! If this agreement involves how much benefit it will give to Varisien, then it is normal, but there is no one in it.
In this draft, the empire gave the Central Belians to expand the amount of iron ore trade, and the Central Belgians gave the imperial merchants more benefits and conveniences.
This agreement does not involve personal interests in the slightest, and those benefits are for the business groups going to the Central Biya region.
What does it have to do with the Putau where Varisian is?
It is already a proud achievement that the Putao area can develop the inland sea business circle.
Central Biya is too far away for Putao, "The other party didn't say it, Tang Ru just said that he was a Central Biaian!" The foreign affairs officer looked at Turit Colin's hesitant face, and responded cautiously, "How is the other party sure that the other party is from Central Bia?" Turit Colin's eyes lit up, and he pressed the draft in his hand on the table, such an agreement has nothing to do with Varisian, how could it be that Varisian signed it, if it is possible, it can only be that Varisian was sent!......" The middle-aged foreign officer was speechless for a while (to be continued......)
