"Yes, I have to accept a capable and loyal subordinate like you." Agatha took the tea that Luke had brought, and drank it with an indescribable bitterness in her mouth, just like she was feeling right now. "You asked me to prepare...... What to prepare? ”

Luke pinched the refreshments on the table and ate them, recalling his time in the game when he had Agatha. Follow the task to knock open her hard shell little by little, and catch the warm and soft heart.

But the real Agatha in front of her is definitely not an NPC in the game that can brush up on favorability.

If the world had to choose one person who wanted to kill itself the most, it would be this eldest princess. She took over the Imperial Intelligence Bureau at the age of 16, and as long as she has the opportunity to get rid of this threat of herself, she will definitely not be relentless.

Luke said as he ate: "Prepare for this turbulent era and fulfill your historical responsibility." The fortunes of the empire have weighed on the gambling table, and Your Majesty still rejects you. If Your Majesty had asked you to preside over the war against the Tedgar Hills, you would not have summoned me in such a low-key manner.

It's the eldest prince who goes to the south? Or the second prince? ”

Agatha stared at Luke, her gaze sharp as if she wanted to cut open the man in front of her.

"How do you know? My father has not yet decreed it, and Gabriel should not dare to tell you such a confidential matter. ”

Luke took a sip of his teacup and sent the snack to his stomach.

Very rudely, he swept away the residue stuck to the corners of his mouth with his hand, and then replied: "Hereditary noble lords are mainly concentrated in the south and west of the empire, among which the Celtic Grand Duke of the Tedegar Hills is the strongest.

I think Your Majesty should have left you in the imperial capital to watch you personally, and not let your power expand due to the war. The two princes have made meritorious achievements in countering the rebellion in the south and the west respectively, and the prestige after returning is not something you can shake.

At that time, it was easy for His Majesty to clean up Angry Waves City.

Your Highness, don't think that I am betting on the fortunes of the Empire, I have also bet my Fury Waves City on the gambling table. ”

Agatha sneered, "Angry Waves City is an empire, when did it become yours." ”

Luke replied, "Okay, you said that Angry Waves is an empire, I'll give it to you now." ”

"Are you willing?"

"What's reluctant? I feel that with my fame, I can be used in any country in the world. Isn't Leo at war? Your Highness, if I were to serve the Wind Watcher, how much land would the Leo royal family give me after the restoration of the country? ”

Agatha finally realizes that Meteor is not playing a joke on herself.

The Golden Shield Empire regards Angry Waves City as a treasure, and it may not be something that can be given up in the eyes of the meteorite. His ability to perform in Angry Waves City has long been world-famous. If he goes to serve the Wind Seeker now and help the Leo royal family restore the kingdom, he will definitely be the great enemy of the empire in the future.

After all, he is the one his father is willing to use a royal princess to woo, and he showed too much hostility when he met for the first time, is it a bit too much?

Agatha knew that her attitude had upset the Meteor.

"Right...... I'm sorry......" Although reluctant, Agatha still opened her mouth to apologize to Luke: "Some of the things you did in Fury Waves City made me very passive in the court, and the accumulated anger could not be vented to others. And the stress of these few days, a dilemma that I have never experienced in my life.

I should have thanked you, but without your support, I would have been in prison a long time ago.

Thank you! ”

Luke accepted Agatha's apology without any humility: "You're welcome, I accept your apology. Now let's get down to business, how did Your Majesty arrange this war? ”

Agatha, whose heart was untied, replied: "You expected it to be almost the same, my father intends to let the eldest prince and the second prince preside over the war on the southern and western fronts respectively. As for who will go to the southern route and who will go to the western route, it has not yet been decided. After all, the southern front has a lot of merit and a big risk, and the barbarian army of the Celtic Grand Duke is very strong, and he has the assistance of the Abyss Temple.

But according to what I know about the two elder brothers, they will only put on a name and will never leave the imperial capital. Father's body ......"

Agatha did not continue.

The physical condition of Emperor Augustine is the biggest hidden danger of the Golden Shield Empire.

Luke couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the court of the imperial capital will continue to fight." ”

Agatha said: "I had no interest in court struggles, I wanted to go to the south, but my father refused. He doesn't believe that I don't covet the throne, especially with so many things you're doing in my name.

I've been miserable by you! ”

Hearing Agatha's complaints, Luke reminded, "How did the conversation come back to that?" If you have to say who is responsible, it is you...... Xue Lai is serving her sentence in prison, and you get her out and put her in the Cape District of Angry Waves City.

I'm the one you were miserable with. ”

Agatha looked at Luke and sorted out the cause and effect of the matter, and sure enough, the source was really herself.

"Well, let the past pass, let's just look at the future.

Although I can't leave the imperial capital, I will definitely have a lot of work in the future. The Empire's biggest potential rival in the East is the Republic of Leo, and some time ago you were already preparing for a military attack on Leo. It's just that the main opponent of the empire now is the rebellious noble lords, and there can be no large-scale conflict with the Leo Republic.

Let's talk about Leo's current situation and whether the Eastern Front can hold steady during the Empire's counterinsurgency. ”

After a moment's consideration, Luke tells Agatha about his strategy against Leo.

The Imperial Civil War did exceed Luke's expectations, but his previous preparations had stumbled to stabilize the eastern seas for the Empire.

Now that the Lookouts have launched the Restoration War in the Republic of Leo, the Council of Leo will definitely devote all its energy to counterinsurgency in the face of the old royal family of Leo who will cramp and peel themselves.

Baron Jeff of Brilliant Island is harassing Leo's shipping lanes.

Lady Tasia of Fishbone Island trains sailors.

The Cape District shipyard is blasting an all-metal battleship.

Once the anti-smuggling fleet in the Cape area has a generational advantage over the fleet of the Republic of Leo, it can directly defeat the Rio Navy and dare not leave the port.

Therefore, there is no need to deal with the Leo direction, and the city of Angry Waves can use money to crush the opponents on the eastern seas of the empire and immobilize.

Luke concluded: "I sent someone to investigate the shipyards of the Republic of Leo, and even if the all-metal battleship of the 'First Machine' class solves the design problems of this new type of warship, Leo will not be able to build a warship of the same level as the 'First Machine' within a year.

If the Imperial agents cause trouble for them, the Empire restricts their purchases of relevant technical equipment internationally, and this time can be extended to two years.

And two years later...... Even if Leo builds an all-metal battleship, it will be obsolete in the face of our new warships. ”

Agatha asked with great interest: "Your shipyard can complete the replacement of all-metal warships in two years." ”

Luke said: "Your Highness, technology is developing very fast in this era. Moreover, the technology to build all-metal warships has long been prepared, and the 'first machine' has only pierced that layer of window paper, providing all shipyards with a correct idea of design and construction.

For a long time in the future, the replacement of all-metal battleships will be very fast. And I have an all-metal warship research institute in Haijiao District, which is jointly run with the World Bank, to ensure that the ships produced by my shipyard are always ahead of the world.

The next generation of all-metal warships will have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. ”

"Ten thousand tons!" Agatha couldn't believe this number, there has never been a 10,000-ton warship in history: "The displacement of the 'first machine' is only 3,000 tons, can the next generation of all-metal warships reach 10,000 tons?" ”

"The 'first machine' has completely broken through the thinking of wooden ships in the design and construction of ships, and it is inevitable that larger ships will appear in the future. Moreover, the research and development of all-metal warships will also drive the rapid acceleration of the entire steam machinery technology.

The city of the Waves is in my hands, you should be stealing the fun...... Don't always think about how to get rid of me. ”

Luke's description sparked Agatha's endless reverie about future ships and steam technology, but by the time she heard the last sentence, she seemed to be pierced and quibbled, "I never wanted to get rid of you." ”

"Hehe......"

Agatha was even more flustered by Luke's call, and she suppressed her expression to change the subject: "You have done a very good job on the Eastern Front, so that the empire has one less threat in one direction."

The northern border has long been fortified in previous conflicts, and it will not be a big problem to hold it for a short time.

The Empire had long been militarily prepared for the South and the West, and there would be no surprises on a frontal battlefield, but a non-frontal battlefield would be extremely dangerous. ”

Luke agrees with Agatha: "Yes, the old nobles and brotherhoods have long infiltrated all aspects of the empire, and they hide very strong forces in the imperial capital, as well as the Abyss Temple and many unexpected enemies.

The war is ...... together Sabotage, assassination, espionage incidents are sure to increase. ”

Agatha said: "They will also do things in the court. The contradictions that have been settled today will certainly be reused. These struggles are not like wars, and the credit is obvious. What we have to do and make a contribution to the empire may not be appreciated, it may be a knife stabbed in the back. ”

Agatha's words were filled with helplessness.

My father's suspicion was so heavy that it was really possible for him to be worried.

Luke comforted the sad Agatha: "In the imperial capital, you, me, and Miss Sunny Sky, whoever wants to move one of them must first consider the revenge of the other two.

Unless someone can move all three of us at the same time. I wouldn't dare leave the city of Angry Waves to come here without being fully prepared.

Just say what you want me to do. I have nothing to do these days, and my idle bones and my people are hurting. ”

"I want you to find Princess Delle."

Luke was puzzled: "I'm not familiar with the situation in the imperial capital, why would you let me do this?" ”

Agatha reflected on her search for Dale, and said with a sad face, "If Dale is killed, her killers will not hold on to the news of her death." If Dale is really dead and the killer can't be found, I will always be the biggest suspect.

So I think Dale is still alive, or captured, or because of something else that can't come back. I've almost gone through the entire imperial capital, but I haven't heard from her. Maybe my method is wrong, or maybe the other party can grasp the whereabouts of the Imperial agent.

I want to change the number of trustworthy people to check.

You and your people are both from Angry Waves City, you are not familiar with the imperial capital, and the imperial capital is also not familiar with you. Maybe you can see what we tend to overlook, and maybe you can bring your miracles here. ”

Luke pondered whether or not to tell Agatha about Dale at the Sky Museum, but ultimately didn't.

Even if Agatha hadn't delegated the eucalyptus to herself, she would have found out who had attacked Dale. At the moment, it seems that Agatha is not the mastermind of the attack on Dale, but there is no guarantee that the people around her and the people from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau are not involved.

Until the truth comes out, the fewer people who know where Dale is, the better.

"Good! Princess Dale was attacked more or less because of me, and as long as she is alive, I will definitely find her. But in what capacity should I do this eucalyptus?

I am the chief inspector of the secret intelligence bureau of Angry Waves City, and I have no authority to investigate in the imperial capital. ”

Agatha said, "I've got it ready for you. You are now the Chief Inspector of the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Angry Waves City, and the Director of the Sixth Special Service Division of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau. The Sixth Secret Service is a department I set up for you, and its office is located at 236 Tongmulberry Avenue.

You'll be able to get your appointment letter and documents when you leave, and all departments in the Imperial Capital will soon be notified by the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. In the future, the Sixth Division of the Secret Intelligence Bureau will only be responsible for me, as long as you can find Dai'er, I will take care of everything you do. ”

The Imperial Intelligence Bureau was set up in the sub-bureaus of each city, and its main function was to gather intelligence and possess a certain amount of force. For general national security incidents, the local secret intelligence bureau sub-bureaus have the ability to deal with them on their own, but in the event of a vicious and dangerous incident, it is necessary to use the special services of the Imperial General Intelligence Bureau.

The Secret Service is home to some of the most elite Imperial agents of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, once the backbone of the Assassin Hut against the Brotherhood of Blades, and agents like Xuelai and Pisco would never be able to enter.

Agatha is in charge of opening a new yamen in the secret service and gives Luke full responsibility and promises to do the same, which shows how desperate she is to find Dale.

Luke's activities that want the freedom of the imperial capital also require this status.

"Thank you, Your Highness. During this meeting, I think we have established initial trust in each other, and I hope that there will be more tacit cooperation in the future. ”

Agatha smiled and said, "You have made a great impression on me that has greatly exceeded my expectations. Maybe our future is not as bad as I first thought. ”

Luke said, "I hope everything is as His Highness thinks now." If nothing else, I'll go back first, and my people and I will immediately investigate the attack on Princess Dale. ”

"May you find Dale as soon as possible and don't let her suffer any more...... She never left the palace, and I can't imagine how she's spending her days these days.

Good bye.

Your father's appointment and reward for you should be coming to your residence soon. ”

Luke couldn't help laughing: "From the time I arrived in the imperial capital, no one greeted me, and now Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess are vying to give me a reward, and the situation is changing so fast!"

Good bye.

I'll go back and see what your majesty will surprise me. ”

Luke saluted Agatha and went out to join the three of them as they left Tulip Manor.

The convoy whistled all the way back to No. 236 Tongmulberry Avenue.
