The Empire was not good at pacifying the populace, and this work was generally the responsibility of the Church.

As a government, the Imperial Cabinet is undoubtedly a failure of failures. But they are a little good - the members of the Imperial Cabinet are not all fools.

Of course, there are certainly fools, but there are always smart people who serve in the Imperial Cabinet. They were wary of such large-scale protests and demonstrations, and they were not like the stupid aristocratic officials, who would only shout slogans such as "Preserve the glory of His Majesty the Emperor" and "Kill all the untouchables".

Shooting is a very easy thing to do, it only takes the next command. But the consequences of the shooting, that is not an easy problem to solve.

The once well-divided Imperial Cabinet was in endless chaos, with ministers representing the interests of the Mining Complex and the Forestry Department receiving no directives from their supporters. Some of them are motivated by knee-jerk support for their supporters, while others are motivated solely by the desire to work against rival ministers.

Some ministers agreed that in order to strike at these lawless thugs, they should immediately order the armed forces to open fire to eliminate all the rebels. Others strongly oppose it, arguing that it is now necessary to use more moderate means to first disperse the protesters and then consider whether some of the masterminds need to be arrested.

Best of all, the ministers who supported the firing on the spot included some supporters of the mining consortium and supporters of the Forestry Administration. Opposition also included the ministers of the Imperial Army and Navy, as well as the remaining ministers financed by the Mining Complex and the Forestry Administration.

The situation is probably like this - the people who support the opening of fire are civilian officials, and they are very resolute. The military and technocrats who are really in charge of the armed forces and the aftermath are dissuaded.

In front of the Imperial Council attended by His Majesty the Emperor, the ministers who had originally stood in the camp of the "Mining Consortium" and the "Forestry Bureau" were now in a mess, some shouting slogans, some directly taking action, some persuading, and some standing next to them coldly and stabbing people.

His Majesty the Young Emperor sat on the throne, his chin propped up in one hand, and watched with great interest the chaotic appearance of the ministers at his feet.

After a long time, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly asked, "So, have you discussed the results?" ”

The answer to His Majesty the Emperor was another more intense quarrel, even to the point of making a move.

His Majesty the Emperor no longer spoke, but looked at the ministers who were in a mess at his feet with a more pronounced smile.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, Grand Duke Hall stood up and said, "The minister suggests that these untouchables who are in rebellion should be prepared with both hands at the same time—shouting and persuading them to leave. For those who refuse to be persuaded to leave, they can be directly suppressed. ”

Archduke Hall was clearly playing with an idea of both offenses, and this idea was also approved by the ministers who were in a mess.

But His Majesty the Emperor did not seem pleased with this result.

"Attack the institutions of the Empire, but there will be no consequences. This would be a huge blow to the majesty of the entire empire. His Majesty the Emperor said, "If necessary, I can pardon these untouchables afterwards." But now, the entire empire should act in accordance with the law as the first priority. ”

"Your Majesty, the thugs on the opposite side have built a large number of fortifications, and if we want to arrest the other party, we will pay a very big price." Grand Duke Hall's face remained unchanged, and he bowed his head and said, "Dissuading some of the thugs will not damage the glory of the empire even in the slightest. Such a move would break the will of the rioters to resist and complete the entire crackdown process more quickly. ”

His Majesty the Emperor showed a dissatisfied expression, "These institutions were all set up in my name, what is the difference between attacking these institutions and attacking me?" Could it be that the Prime Minister wants me to wipe the cow dung off my face and wagging my tail at the pariah curry favor? ”

His Majesty the Emperor said this very seriously. The other ministers hurriedly stood up together, bowed their heads and said, "The ministers have no such intentions, please be merciful to Your Majesty." ”

"I want to save face and have dignity." His Majesty the Emperor's imperial intentions sounded like there was something unintentional, and the ministers lowered their heads even more, "You should do everything in your power to preserve my dignity - I am a country, and the empire is an extension of me." ”

"Do as you wish." Many ministers answered at the same time, and the monthly Imperial Council officially ended.

"Your Majesty has grown up." Sitting in his mansion, Grand Duke Hall was silent for a long time before he suddenly said such a sentence.

Schultz, who was sitting across from Grand Justice Hall, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Decades of professional experience tell him that there may be some real drama in the future.

"Your Majesty has grown up, but his political wisdom is almost none." Grand Duke Hall seemed to have received a great stimulus today, and he spoke with a hint of imperceptible anger, "No one can challenge the majesty of the Emperor - just a group of thugs, how can they be identified as rebels who offend the majesty of the Emperor!" ”

His Majesty the Emperor is supreme, and His Majesty's dignity cannot be violated, which is the fundamental starting point of all political actions in the Empire. It's not just "promoting" content. This was a key factor in the empire's long-term political stability.

No matter who has the say in the cabinet, no matter who wields the actual power of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor will always be supreme - for hundreds of years, even the most unscrupulous careerist has only stopped at mastering the cabinet and ruling the entire empire with the emperor's approval.

No one, no politician or thug has ever tried to overthrow His Majesty's rule, let alone harm His Majesty.

Even the "rebel" Duke of El Salvador only took the armed forces given by His Majesty the Emperor and then carried out a hearty suicide operation.

In the Empire, all the actions of all people are aimed at preserving the dignity of the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. No person or organization can pose a threat to His Majesty's dignity.

And His Majesty the Emperor's imperial will today has in fact directly overturned the core key of the entire empire's dimensional coefficient for a hundred years. Even as the grandfather of His Majesty the Emperor and the financial minister of the empire, Grand Duke Hall still could not accept this fact at all.

In any case, the thugs could not be executed because "His Majesty's dignity of the Emperor has been challenged."

"I know that you have a reputation in the underworld and the intelligence world." Archduke Hall thought twice and said to Schultz in front of him, "I'm not asking for help from an old friend now, but as the Imperial Finance Minister, I'm proposing a deal to Mr. Diplomat. I would like to see the thugs disappear from the streets of Orin at once - but without any violence or the involvement of the Imperial forces. ”

Schultz looked embarrassed, he moved the stool under his ass awkwardly, and then asked, "Your Excellency...... How long can you wait for 'making them disappear'? ”

"Three days." Archduke Hall said clearly, "I can make the Imperial Army and Navy wait for a maximum of four days, so within three days, they must disappear from Olin." ”

"What resources can I get to help?"

"The cooperation of an Imperial Royal Guard is enough for a hundred and fifty thousand people to eat food and other supplies for a month—this is not in addition to the amount of money that will be sent to Newsar this month."

The expression on Schultz's face froze, and he hesitated, "What...... Subsidize? ”

"Mr. Diplomat, I hope we can have an open exchange." Grand Duke Hall lowered his head and began to cut the huge steak in front of him, the golden knife and fork splashing the blood of the steak cut in the white porcelain plate. The force with which he cut the steak was so great that the head of the fork was bent.

After stopping what he was doing, Grand Duke Hall took a deep breath and said, "Of course I know that you still have a connection with the Newsal side. This is not surprising - you are a Nyusar after all, and the El Salvador plan has caused a huge loss to Nyusar. You yourself were once the most loyal Secret Guard of the Marquis de Lafayette, and after the fall of the Duke of Saar, the Secret Guard absorbed a large number of members of the Zealous Party...... It's normal for the Belford family to contact you and use you to get some information about Orin. ”

Grand Duke Hall said in a somewhat impatient tone, "I don't care about this myself, and you ...... You have also proven your loyalty to the Empire through your actions. It's just a two-headed bet, which is not a big sin. ”

Schultz didn't speak, he lowered his head slightly, loosening some of his toes that were clenched tightly in his shoes.

"Now, I hope that the thugs who set up barricades on Regency Road in Orin will disappear within three days." Grand Duke Hall re-raised his glass, took a long sip, and said, "I believe you have the ability to get them out of the streets of Orin...... I won't ask about anything else. ”

"As you wish, sir." Schultz bowed his head slightly, and then gave his own reply, "Your wish is my mission." ”

The Central Special Branch, which was busy with the transportation of supplies, received another very difficult task from Schultz - within three days, the Central Special Branch needed to sift through and absorb at least 500 people from among the angry people who were building barricades.

Then transfer all the other people to the means of transport, and let them leave Orin and go to Newsar.

This kind of task is said to be "one", but in fact, it is broken down in detail, and the content inside is so many and complex that it is desperately complex. First of all, the Central Special Branch, which was only providing supplies covertly, needed to start trying to obtain the personal information of all the activists, and then, with no reference documents at all, identify at least 500 reliable poor people who could become members of the Central Special Branch in a short period of time, and persuade them to join the Central Special Branch—and from then on, become people with no name, no family, no past, and no future, just like them.

It's hard.

Subsequently, the Central Special Branch also needs to find ways and channels that can quietly transfer everyone on Regency Street under the attention of many people. As a rough estimate, thousands of people will need to quietly leave Regent Street with the help of Central Tek.

It's also hard.

In the end, all of this needed to be done in three days. And in the end, it is necessary to achieve the goal of "everyone disappearing from Regency Street".

To put it bluntly, Schultz has given Central Tek a huge problem.

And bigger troubles are yet to come.

"I have to quit the Central Special Branch and cut off all contact with the Central Special Branch." In one of the rooms of the hotel, Schultz said to Lorraine, "My identity has been revealed, the Empire has learned of the fact that I am still in contact with Newsal - I am not sure exactly how much information they know, and in order to protect the Order, I will break all contact with the Order, starting today." ”

All members of the Central Special Branch have a set of procedures for blocking contact with the organization after exposure and protecting other members to the greatest extent. Schultz and Lorraine are no exception.

But this time the situation is somewhat unusual.

"I'll start the fifth set of pre-eucalyptus, and maybe the seventh if necessary." Schultz sat on the edge of the bed and said after a long silence, "Our strength is still weak, and now is not the time to tear our faces directly with the Empire." ”

"The relationship between Olon Development Bank and me has also been exposed, and the work of economic warfare may need to be suspended - if I activate the seventh set of methods, you will immediately evacuate all members of Olon Development Bank."

Lorraine looked at the middle-aged man who was also a teacher and friend with some sadness and asked, "There is no other way?" ”

"If I can activate the fifth set of eucalyptus, at least I can return to Newsar alive." Schultz's smile looked very calm, "Those who do our job are already a gift from the gods to be able to return home safely." If it doesn't work, under the seventh set of prescriptions, the initiative of the enthusiastic party and the secret guards will be exposed, at least it can buy time for the reorganization of the Central Special Branch. ”

Schultz stood up and said apologetically, "We don't have much time, you must be extra careful in the future work - there are internal ghosts in Newsal, and the level is very high." Remember to keep silent until you catch this inner ghost. ”

Lorraine also stood up, she took a deep breath, and said, "I see, let's get started." ”

There was a burst of high-pitched female screams and cries for help from Lorraine's hotel, followed by the blowing of the flat glass on the windows being smashed directly by the furniture. Schultz jumped out of the second-floor window.

Lorraine, whose clothes were torn and tattered, rushed out the door and rushed to the nearest police station with tears on her face and bruises on her face and legs.
