Gawain.

This code name, Ma Wei heard once in Arthur's mouth, the second seat of the Knights of the Round Table, second only to Gulhana, the chief knight.

His specific identity, Ma Wei has not been very clear, and has not investigated, but since Arthur mentioned him, he can have a good understanding.

"Gawain, what is his identity?"

"Priest, have you heard of the Benjamin family?"

The Benjamin family....

Ma Wei thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find any information that fit the Benjamin family, he shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, what do they do?" ”

"The Benjamin family is engaged in the construction industry, and the famous London Railway was built by the Benjamin family."

Arthur picked up a cigar and lit it, and said a man's name: "Russell Benjamin, that's Gawain's real name." ”

"What is his status in the family?"

"The current head of the house." Arthur said: "Gawain's father, who died four years ago after being hit in the head by a falling cargo box, as the only heir in the family, Russell inherited Benjamin's construction company, their family is not a nobleman, and the head office is located in Edinburgh, in the north of the Kingdom of Windsor, which meets the conditions of the priest." ”

Ma Wei nodded and asked tentatively, "Gawain... That is, Russell Benjamin, his relationship with Your Highness...."

"I absolutely trust him." Arthur said without hesitation: "Gulihanna is the daughter of my sword master, and she is also the first knight to follow me, and Gawain, he took the initiative to find me. ”

"Active?"

"That's right, he thinks that his father's death is not an accident, it has something to do with the eldest prince." Arthur said: "When the London Railway began to bid for it, Benjamin & Co. was in the bidding, and in addition to their family, Baron Rothberry was also in the bidding. ”

Baron Roseberry ....

Marvey turned his head to look at the communication standing in front of the wine cabinet, and last night, the communication brought back a business card that belonged to Baron Roseberry.

According to Arthur, Gawain felt that his father's death was not an accident, but was murdered by a rival, and the suspect was Baron Roseberry, who belonged to the camp of the Grand Prince.

In this way, Gawain found Arthur and took the initiative to cooperate with him in order to avenge his father.

The Benjamin family did not have a title of nobility, and they were far away in Edinburgh, in the north of the East Island, and could not interfere in the core political circle of London, and it was impossible for Gawain alone to defeat the Great Prince.

He will only have a chance to take revenge if he finds the right allies.

"Strange." After listening to Arthur's introduction, Daniel was puzzled and said, "If Gawain is in a hurry to take revenge, why don't you go to the second and third princes, but instead go to find a fourth prince who is not welcomed and expelled from the royal capital?" Ah, don't get me wrong, Your Highness, I didn't mean anything against you. ”

"You're telling the truth, I'm not going to be angry."

Arthur didn't care about Daniel's little offense at all, he was originally an unpopular fourth prince who was expelled from the royal capital: "Gawain chose me because only I can help him take revenge, Shukry and Andrew, although they have a higher status and have a better chance of winning the throne than me, but they will not kill Charles because of Gawain, Charles is their brother after all, and everyone is afraid that they will be liquidated after their defeat, so.... If you don't kill them all, choosing exile is the norm after the competition fails. ”

"Just like Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who was defeated and exiled to the island of Elba and St. Helena." Ma Wei said: "The idea of these nobles is very simple, if they succeed today, it does not mean that others will not succeed tomorrow, if they kill competitors today, will others who succeed tomorrow also kill them?" ”

"But this is a competition for the throne!" Daniel was puzzled: "Aren't they afraid of the enemy coming back?" Napoleon Bonaparte, who was exiled to the island of Elba after his first defeat, was killed! ”

"The enemy .... When competing for the throne, everyone is the enemy. Ma Wei and Arthur glanced at each other: "For the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince, they are just competitors to each other, not mortal enemies, the Windsor royal family can last for so many years, and the competition for the throne often breaks out, if every winner chooses to kill his brother, the royal bloodline will have already withered, in case of an accident one day, won't the Windsor royal family be completely destroyed?" ”

"Again.... Who doesn't have a few children? Suppose the eldest prince wins today, and he kills the second prince and the third prince, will his children also start killing each other when he gets old? ”

"It is the consensus of all kingdoms that members of the royal family must not kill indiscriminately until the necessary moment."

After speaking, Ma Wei withdrew his gaze from Arthur and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was expelled from the royal capital back then, and there was no accident on the way to the West Island, just because the brothers did not send killers to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and once some doors were pushed open, they could no longer be closed..."

"The priest is right."

Arthur sneered: "They let the enemy go, not because of kindness, but because of fear, they fear that fate will one day befall them, and that is a sin that can never be washed away....."

It is a traditional rule in royal families that members of the royal family should not kill indiscriminately, and Rhodes IV ordered his four sons to go to Windsor Castle every Sunday to hold a family reunion, just to enhance the relationship between relatives and reconcile conflicts to avoid fratricide in the future.

The members of the royal family here usually refer to the descendants who are related by blood, and those who are not related by blood are often difficult to integrate into the royal family.

For example, the fourth prince Arthur, he is definitely a member of the royal family, no matter how much the three brothers hate him, they will admit this fact, and vice versa....

Arthur's mother, Princess Sophia, is probably not a relative in the eyes of the eldest prince and the second prince.

"Tomorrow I will write a letter to Gawain to meet him in secret, and when he comes, I will inform the priest."

"Isn't Gawain in London?"

"For the past two years he has been busy with the construction of the railway in the West Island, and has been living in Belfast and rarely comes back, but in the last few days, the project is about to be completed, and even if you don't come to me, Father, I will have him come to London to meet."

】

Arthur pondered, "The only problem is that the Benjamin family's construction company has had a dispute with the Grand Prince's Baron Roseberry, and I'm not sure if this will affect your plans, Priest. ”

Impact, there must be.

But Mavi doesn't have a better option at the moment.

If you want to fully gain the trust of the eldest prince, of course, you can't bow your head and rush to the door and say that I want to take refuge with Your Highness, you must find a 'reason'.

Reasonable, natural reasons.

"I read in the newspaper that an underground railway is being built in London?" Ma Wei said suddenly.

"It's been implemented a long time ago." Arthur affirmed: "London is too densely populated, in order to get around better, the government decided to build a metropolitan subway, the contractor is the construction company under the name of Baron Roseberry, the first phase of the project is nearing completion, and it will be put into trial operation in the near future, if the results are good, the government will open the bidding to recruit more construction companies, and fully open the metropolitan subway project." ”

London is a huge city, and the construction of the subway is even more difficult and costly.

Baron Roseberry alone can't eat this big cake, and if you want to build a metropolitan subway, you are destined to cooperate with many construction companies, which is a good breakthrough.

Benjamin Construction may be able to use the Metropolitan Subway project to gain the support and trust of the Great Prince.

The specific way to do this will need to be further discussed, but the general direction should be correct.

"Then again, how did you get transferred back to London, Your Highness?"

Mavi, who was still in the Romanov Kingdom not long ago, was a little curious about this, he didn't know what magic Arthur had used to get Rhodes IV to summon him back to London....

How much credit does this have to make?

"I have to thank you, Father Priest, for that." Arthur took a puff on his cigar and smiled, "Do you remember when the United States of Citi transported goods to the Romanov Kingdom?" ”

"Of course, I remember that a year ago, the Citibank Federal Bank and the Duke of Tbilisi reached an agreement to sell cocaine and marijuana plants to the Romanov Kingdom at a low price, and signed a long-term contract, in order to prevent these drugs from entering the Romanov Kingdom, I sought the help of Your Highness." Ma Wei immediately said: "This matter seems to have been resolved later. ”

"Yes." Pulling down his long golden hair, Arthur nodded with a smile: "After receiving the news from you, Father Priest, I immediately wrote a letter to London, which was my judgment on the development and series of actions of the United States of Citi in recent years, this letter attracted the attention of the king and the parliament, and even the church side supported the plan I listed in the letter..."

"The contents of the letter are my projections of the future trend based on the actual situation of the United States of Citi, and I believe that the United States of Citi is rapidly rising, especially after winning the war of independence, and has become a threat to be reckoned with, and in the near future, the United States of Citi is likely to threaten the throne of the world hegemon of the Kingdom of Windsor."

"Oh, that's not wrong at all." Ma Wei was surprised: "I think the same as Your Highness, how did they deal with Rhodes IV?" ”

"They immediately sent the Royal Navy to intercept the ships of the United States of Citi to the Romanov Kingdom, and then used economic means to restrict the stock exchanges in New York, Washington and other major cities, causing their stock prices to plummet and shake the people's hearts."

Arthur's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the fire that was jumping and burning in the fireplace:

"After these two things have been accomplished, the third step of the plan can be started, which is to use political means to influence the presidential election, to force the slave owners of the South against the free capital of the North on the grounds of the abolition of slavery, to provoke contradictions between them, and to prop up a puppet government to come to power.... When the war breaks out, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny will unite with the nobles in the Kingdom of Windsor to quickly occupy the market, plunging the United States of Citi into a state of internal friction, so as to secretly control the economy and make them collapse. ”

"Priest..."

"What do you think of my three-step plan?"
