Chapter 51: The Family Sponsor, the Duchess
'Bang'!
With a loud bang, the beautiful woman raised her hand and pressed the briefcase that had slid in front of her with one palm.
She smiled like a flower and nodded to Hesse: "Your Excellency Witt, I am very satisfied with this gift. As you said, Sergeant Joe, a third-class sergeant, really made the first contribution to the investigation of this mid-autumn bloody case. ”
Her tone became impassioned and impassioned: "The empire needs such energetic and capable young people. So ......"
'Bang'!
With another loud bang, the Supreme Commander of the Tulun Port Fleet of the Imperial Navy of Delen, Rear Admiral Papathi of the Imperial Navy, jumped to his feet and slapped the conference table.
Just now, Hanieway impulsively wanted to seize the briefcase, standing behind Mrs. Meiyan, a middle-aged woman wearing a black cloak and embroidering the island shadow blood-colored mountain rhododendron shield badge on her chest, moved like lightning, and stunned Haniewei with one palm.
Papasi was stunned by the sudden conflict, and he couldn't react for a moment.
After Mrs. Meiyan said a few words with a smile, listening to the meaning of her words, it seemed that she wanted to decide on the spot to reward Joe?
Papathi rose up in anger, slapped the conference table hard, interrupted Madame Glamorous's words, and roared angrily: "Your Excellency, this information ...... you"
The corner of Papasi's eyes quickly turned to Heniway, who was lying in the corner of the wall, her body twitching slightly, and she might wake up from fainting at any time, and he hissed, "This information...... It should belong to the Navy! ”
Mrs. Glamorous laughed three times, as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, she stood up suddenly, pressed her hands on the briefcase, leaned down slightly, and glared at Papaxi fiercely with beautiful and slender eyes with a little bewitchment, which actually gave people a sense of ferocity before the predation of a tiger.
"Major General Papasi, I said, this information belongs to me now!" Madame Meiyan said proudly: "The empire has entrusted me with a sacred duty, since this information was seized and handed over by the third-class sergeant Qiao, according to the laws of the empire, this information, from a legal point of view, is completely at my disposal. ”
Papathi roared: "There is no such reason, this is the ...... of the Navy"
Madame Glamorous interrupted Papasi's words sharply: "Pay attention to your identity, Major General Papasi...... I am the Governor of the Southern Region of the Empire, and in this land, the final decision on all matters and things that are subject to legal entanglements is with me. ”
Blinking, Madame Meiyan laughed again: "Oh, no, besides me, there is also a distinguished Excellency, who has enough authority to fight with this Duke to decide who is the ultimate custodian of this information. ”
Fingers lightly tapped on the conference table in front of her, and Mrs. Meiyan looked at Don Taisi, the director of the first room of the Supervision Department who was standing aside: "Your Excellency Don Taisi, is your Excellency Iceberg still patrolling Wenders Province?" ”
Dantès bowed to Madame Glamorous with a straight face: "Your Excellency the Duke, Lord Vigral is on his way back to the port of Tulum, perhaps, he has already returned to the port of Tulum. ”
After a slight pause, Dantès said in a deep voice: "But, in any case, as you said, you have a ...... about this information Whatever it may be, as the Governor of the Southern Territory of the Empire, you have full custody, guardianship, and eventual disposition of it, in accordance with the sacred duties entrusted to you by the Empire. ”
Dontès's iceberg face squeezed out a smile with difficulty: "The Inspectorate of the Southern Special Region of the Empire, that is, the Inspectorate of Port Tulum, has no doubts about your justice, fairness and justice. All your actions are entirely out of public interest and in the highest interests of the Empire. ”
Madame Meiyan smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line, and she glanced at Dantès: "So, your Excellency Iceberg will not have any doubts about my current behavior?" ”
Dantès bowed again, "Everything you are doing now is within the sacred duty entrusted to you by the Empire, and you have not usurped your authority. Therefore, on behalf of the Ombudsman, I can certify the legality of all your actions with respect to this information at this time. ”
Madame Glamorous and Dantès answered each other's questions, and Papasi, who was standing aside, was red-faced, and could not say a word at all.
Jo stood behind Hesse without saying a word, and as he listened to this conversation, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and glanced deeply at the beautiful lady.
So, this is the biggest backer of the Rittal family in Tulum Port?
Looking at her beautiful smiling face, Joe couldn't help but secretly think in his heart - his father Hesse, and what should she ...... It's innocent, right?
Ross von Cassica Huntingburg, Duke of the Empire, fief of the island of Casica. She was also the Governor of the Southern Territory of the Empire, with jurisdiction over the island of Casica and the surrounding islands, the port of Tulum, the provinces of Stone, Claude, and Wenders.
She was also the Commander-in-Chief of the Garcican Garrison and the Commander of the Imperial Navy's Garcican Independent Fleet.
The Huntingburg family she was born in, who was originally knighted as a hereditary marquis, was the oldest military aristocrat in the empire, and was the founding nobleman of the Delen Empire.
And the strength she holds in her own hands is also extremely strong.
Not to mention the independent fleet of Garcyca, the overall strength of the Delenian Empire's navy is weak.
The combat power of the army of the Deren Empire is among the strongest among the many powerful countries in the Metland continent. And the most brave and good at fighting, and the strongest average individual strength of the Delun Empire, are the twelve mountain divisions that are specially organized for fighting on the mountain plateau.
The Delen Empire had a total of twelve mountain divisions, and in the hands of the Duke of Rus, there were five.
In addition to the five powerful mountain divisions, Duke Luo also had twenty standing garrisons in his hands, and thirty-six standing garrisons responsible for garrisoning the major islands around Casica.
The Huntingburg family, with their own private army, is better equipped and has a stronger personal strength than the standing garrison.
Compared with the rich place of Tulun Port, which pays countless profits and taxes every year, and is particularly valued by the Empire, the local garrison of Tulun Port is only an old-fashioned musketeer division and a new flintlock brigade, as well as two foreign artillery regiments.
Forty years ago, the Delen Empire captured the port of Tulum in a military campaign, gaining the Empire's only outlet to the sea on the stormy ocean.
Along with the port of Tulum, the island of Casica, which has a vast land comparable to the territory of two imperial provinces and has a population of nearly 50 million.
The commander in charge of this military operation was none other than the grandfather of the Duke of Ross, the Marquis of Huntingburg at that time.
At the end of the year in which the port of Tulum and the island of Casica were captured, the Empress of the Empire made the grandfather of the Duke of Ross the Duke of Garsica the Duke of Garsica, and guarded the island of Garsica forever.
Ten years after the occupation of the island of Casica, the first Duke of Garsica was assassinated by the native Garsica, and after the bloody revenge of the Huntingburg family, the father of the Duke of Ross took over the title.
Five years later, the Duke of Ross's father, while inspecting the islands of Casica, was assassinated by the local natives again. The Huntingburgers retaliated again with bloody revenge, and Duke Ross took over the title.
Fifteen years later, just ten years ago, Duke Ross's husband and two sons, who were still minors, fell again to the Assassin knives of the native Garcycans.
The Duke of Ross was furious and retaliated with his vengeance, and the waters of the three bays of Cassica turned red. How many Cassica natives were killed and injured in this bloody purge is still a taboo that cannot be mentioned in the Delen Empire.
This is a beautiful, powerful, powerful woman with strong means, and can even be called ruthless and ruthless.
There are even rumors in aristocratic circles that because Duke Ross is a woman, and her methods are so tough and ruthless, she is deeply favored and trusted by the empress of the current empire. At a small court tea party, Her Majesty the Empress praised the Duke of Russ as the 'first minister' of the nearly seventy provinces in the southern part of the empire.
What kind of friendship the Ritu family had with Duke Ross, Joe didn't know.
He only vaguely knew that in the Rose Chamber of Commerce of the Ritu family, the duchess accounted for one and a half of the molecules, and enjoyed half of the net profits of the Rose Chamber of Commerce every year.
In the past ten years, the Rittal family has encountered several backlashes from local forces in Tulun Port, such as the Wells family, the Turing family, etc., and they have joined forces to completely eliminate the Rittal family.
Whenever the Rittal family could not withstand the pressure, they were always supported by the local garrison in the port of Tulum. The ocean-going fleets of the Wells family and the Turing family will always encounter pirates inexplicably in the waters around the island of Casica, and then disappear without a trace with people and ships.
After suffering several huge losses in a row, local forces such as the Wells family and the Turing family reluctantly admitted the existence of the Rittal family, and reluctantly let Hesse become one of the seven-member committee of Tulun Port.
The Duke of Ross sits on the island of Casica all the year round, living in a simple place, and never easily comes to the port of Tulum, which is across the sea.
Occasionally, the Imperial Capital summoned him, and the Duke of Rus crossed the port of Tulum, and only a few people had the opportunity to meet him in person.
Joe learned about the relationship between Duke Rose and the Wittu family from Hesse and Leah, but it was the first time he had seen Duke Rose in person.
Seeing Duke Ross, who is over middle age, but is still as beautiful as a girl, Joe can't help but think crankily in his mind, Hesse and her, really, innocent, right?
Well, with Lea staring, Hesse and this high-ranking duchess, of course, are innocent.
While he was thinking wildly, Joe heard Duke Rose calling his name, and he hurriedly stepped forward, folded his belly respectfully, with some difficulty, and saluted Duke Rose.
"Your Excellency, Honorable Duke!" Joe's expression was solemn.
"Oh, such a cute little guy back then, he has become so ......" Duke Rose flattened his mouth, looked Qiao up and down for a while, shook his head, and said, "Strong? Majestic? Oh, Leah must be heartbroken for your size. ”
"Joe, don't be nervous, I hugged you when you were a child." Duke Ross's words made the faces of the navy and some people present look ugly for a while.
The tendencies of these words are too obvious.
"No one can take your credit for it. The investigation continues, and I hope you will continue to work on it. Duke Rose smiled and nodded lightly to Joe, "I declare that because of your current merits, you deserve to wear a first-class sergeant's epaulette......"
Gently patted the briefcase in front of him: "Compared to this, the promotion is not worth mentioning, and when all the investigations are over, we will carefully comment on your merits." Keep up the good work, Joe, and I look forward to more good news from you. ”
In Joe's head, there was a sudden 'buzz'.
Is it so blatant cheating for related households?
First Lieutenant?
Jumping six levels in a row?
From Sergeant 3 to Sergeant 1st Lieutenant...... Jump six levels in a row!
Even if you are the governor of the southern district of the empire, even if you are the Lord Duke......
Such a speed of promotion......
It's so dark!
