Escobar's choice to come to Newsar was almost entirely due to self-defeat.

Men who are hurt by love are very unreliable, and some of them often have strong self-destructive tendencies.

Escobar is one such "representative".

He chose to come to this colony, which was destined to kill at least half of the population, and then chose to enter the internal affairs bureau and began to eat and die. The sudden marriage of his lover into the royal family was an extremely huge blow to him.

He chose to come to Newsar because of Escobar's last love for his lover. Staying in Orin, Viscount Houghton will want his life, and others who are interested in the queen's throne will surely find out about Escobar and threaten Eleanor.

Escobar had no grudge against Eleanor, and he knew very well that his lover was actually in this kind of thing...... And there isn't much autonomy. Neither His Majesty the Emperor nor Viscount Houghton actually had much initiative - royal marriages were in most cases just a means of balancing power. Viscount Holden belongs to the mining consortium line, and at the same time, he is also the kind of small person in this faction who is relatively weak but has a decent identity.

The marriage to Eleanor allowed Viscount Holden to suddenly become the hottest figure in the Mining Syndicate faction, and Viscount Horton himself was able to follow this "east wind" and quickly become a new powerful faction within the Mining Syndicate.

The mere integration of factional divisions within the mining complex was enough for Horton to keep busy for more than a decade. Once he had completed the process, the Forestry Department would be able to gradually suppress its decline – and then make a similar replacement.

Therefore, it is not Eleanor's change of heart, nor is it the emperor who snatches love with a knife, nor is it that Mr. Viscount sold his daughter for his own glory and wealth. In fact, in this "marriage", none of the parties is the winner. Escobar knew this very well, and to be honest, he couldn't hate it at all.

Obviously, he lost his lover, but he is difficult to look at with hostility towards either party in this human misfortune.

So, he chose to come to Newsar, and he was in a mess, eating and waiting to die.

And this drift was interrupted by Dussand. This tyrannical but thoughtful and action-minded little nobleman, the head of the secret service who was in charge of almost all of Newsar, was not wrong in his actions. While his fundamental purpose in trying to curry favor with the other party was to gain more favor for his department, which might allow him to live a few more days before he died – this was indeed a violation.

Beaten up and thrown in prison by Dussand, Escobar didn't have much resentment. As in Eleanor's case, Dusaud was simply doing his duty. He did not resent the young nobleman.

Well, there's a bit of resentment. After all, it really hurts when you get kicked in the lower body.

For the first time, Dussand's apology made him feel something different. For the first time in the Empire, where there was a hierarchy and a clear hierarchy, there was a nobleman, a superior nobleman, who cared about his feelings.

He even apologized.

After decades of living in the Empire, Escobar felt respected as a "human being" for the first time. And not some insignificant little person, or a puppet of the post of head of the Interior Bureau.

Escobar, who had been sleeping unconsciously for more than twenty years, suddenly woke up. He was grateful and wanted to do something for Dussand.

So he risked being directly executed by the cardinal postmen and confessed everything he knew to Dussand.

Escobar offered Dussander two options. Either pull the flag and rebel, or run away now. Even if the Empire had Project Alpha and was able to defeat the Alliance within a year, it would at least give the people of Newsar a better chance of surviving - if they could get the support of the Alliance or the Federation, Newsar might even have a chance of turning the corner.

And these two plans are now brought to the table of his own house by Dussand.

"Escobar's man is very unreliable, and he could be a spy for the Alliance." As an imperial officer, Duchamp first showed a strong antipathy. If Dussand's advance statement that "you must be calm after listening", Duchamp might have just stopped the meal and had Escobar arrested.

"Each head of department in the Colonial Office is required to be cross-vetted by two random Colonial Stars and the Orin Heraldic Management Office before taking up their duties." Dussander first assured Escobar, "If none of the three heraldic offices have a problem, then he is unlikely to be a spy." ”

Androni didn't immediately object, she was more concerned about the "information" provided by Escobar.

"What exactly is this Salvadoran plan?" Androni frowned and asked, "After all, it's not certain whether this kind of thing exists or not, right?" It's his side from beginning to end, and we certainly can't just trust him so easily. ”

Dussander sighed and said helplessly: "I didn't find this term from the official intelligence sources of the heraldic management office, but...... The bazaar told me the news — they didn't say exactly what the plan was, just that it might be important. ”

The existence of the bazaar, of course, was also known to Dussand's parents. After all, it had only been long since the Marquis de Lafayette had provided "security" to Dussand, and they had all heard about the organization of the Bazaar. But for these two, the bazaar is probably just a simple "underground organization". So Dussander had to spend a little more time explaining to them why the organization was able to convey the information.

After Dussander proved that Escobar's identity was okay and that there was something called the "El Salvador Project", there was a silence in the manor restaurant.

Duchamp still didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't find a suitable angle to refute it for a while. Androni asks a key question, "Is it possible that Escobar did have other plans, and therefore used the name of the plan and your lack of knowledge of the details of the plan itself to induce you to betray the Empire?" ”

Dussaint nodded, "It's definitely a possibility, but ...... I did some research and felt ...... It shouldn't be like that. ”

After hearing such outrageous news and "advice", Dussand, of course, could not have had an idea. And his method of verifying Escobar is simple and straightforward.

Over the past two decades, Escobar has met 12 times with the dead Duke of Sal and the Marquis de Lafayette, all in public.

Assuming that Escobar was indeed an ally spy waiting for an opportunity to provoke a rebellion in Newsar, he would have had to come into contact with the nobles who were "likely to rebel" several times over the past two decades. And in the whole of Newsal, there are only two high-ranking nobles who have the best chance of a successful turnaround.

However, Escobar did not have a close relationship with them, and this was confirmed not only by intelligence from the Heraldic Administration, but also by the intelligence of the Marquis de Lafayette's secret guard.

The Duke of Saarrland's treacherous attempt was not aided or encouraged by outside forces, and his actions were entirely his own choice. Escobar wasn't involved.

"This is basically a zero, after all, a spy who has been deeply rooted in the empire for more than twenty years suddenly activates at such a time...... This is not the style of the League. Dussander rubbed his aching forehead and said, "I'll figure out what the hell this plan is - the question now is, assuming it's true, as Escobar said......"

"Loyalty is not absolute, it means absolute disloyalty." Androni interrupted Dussand's assumptions, and she asked very seriously, "What do you think?" ”

Dussander was silent for a long time and then said, "We are pioneer nobles, and we swear allegiance to the royal family because the royal family has promised to give us a portion of its authority. We carved out the Imperial colonies in our own territory and kept the inhabitants for the royal family. The royal family, on the other hand, needs to give us the right authority, remuneration and trust. ”

This is the content of the Pioneer Noble Act, which has been written into the code since the great development of the empire. It was the basis of the feudal system of the empire, and it was also the legal basis for the ruling nobles of the empire to enjoy the right to judge, levy and levy taxes in their own domains.

"We are the guardians of the people of the Empire so that these people who are far from home, who work and live a strong life in the Empire's colonies, can enjoy the protection of the Empire. It is to bring a steady stream of wealth to the empire and strengthen its strength and develop healthily. "If the Salvador Project is indeed a butcher's knife that the Empire is about to swing at Newsar, as Escobar suggests, then I have reason to believe that the royal family has reneged on its duty and commitment to all the pioneer nobles." ”

"We are pioneer aristocrats, and this status must be stripped through the Privy Council. The nobility cannot give up the title on their own, and we are still the pioneer nobility until the corresponding bill is passed by the Privy Council. We owe it to the people of our own realm – their lives and property deserve the protection of the Empire, and the nobility is the provider of this protection. Dussander straightened out his thoughts, looked up at his parents and said, "Mother, you are the Speaker of the House of Commons, and it is your duty to vote for the interests of the electorate and pass laws. Father, you are the commander of the garrison, and it is your duty to protect this colony star. ”

"It is our duty to ensure that the citizens of the empire in Newsar, whether noble, freed, or poor, are not threatened, both by law and by morality." Dussander said in a deep voice, "In order to fulfill our duties, any means are options that can be considered. ”

Looking at Androni and Duchamp's increasingly ugly expressions, he coughed lightly and said, "But...... This means still needs to consider ways and means. The empire is so powerful, and with Newsal's own strength, it is unrealistic to deter the empire from abandoning such a plan. ”

To engage in struggle, we need to use our brains. When I only have a population of 30 introns, I went to the brainless F2A full population of the air-space integrated force, which is not brave but stupid.

Newsar's armed forces were relatively strong in the colonies, but they were as weak as a newborn child in front of the entire empire, facing a steam knight armed with an armor-piercing hammer. The garrison and army could follow the orders of the House of Commons and Dussend and open fire on their comrades...... I am afraid that it will also be devastating in the first hour of the battle.

"There is a struggle, but there is a method. We don't have any chance of winning head-on against the Empire, but ...... We now have a weapon that is indeed powerful enough. Dussander said earnestly to his parents, "Escobar's identity may be a breakthrough that can turn the situation around." ”
