Chapter 135: The Prelude
"What are we supposed to do? If you do what you say. An employee asked. This man's name was Trios, and he had recently become the director of the entire newspaper by the admiration of everyone, and at this moment he was also sitting in a chair and asking questions to Kuster alone.
The soundproofing of the office is very good, even if it is in the back, it is difficult to hear the whole newspaper, except that the quality of the door is not very good, and there is no glass and even it is easy to transmit the sound, if there is a person in the back, it can be heard.
As long as there are no accidents, Kuster and Trios can talk with confidence, but the former is still a little worried, after all, this office was set up for him by someone else, and who knows what is hidden.
He thought to himself:
Is this what those guys (the Kusterites) did? They have infiltrated the police, or they are everywhere, and they are not safe anywhere.
Maybe the conversation he had just had with the newspaper employees been eavesdropped, did that mean there was a war?
It's not certain yet, it's too early to tell.
The only thing that is certain is that he will have to move out of here sooner or later, but not yet, can he still go to the underground of the bridge pier as a base after leaving here?
He paused for a moment, then said:
"Anyway, first of all, the purpose remains the same, and it's against those people. I don't know who's in the shadows, I think it's the high-ranking officials of the Empire, and I hope it's them, so they know that I'm not that terrible. If it's those guys, that's great, there's not so much twisting and turning, that's what I'm doing! β
Trios silently remembered in his heart, as if he knew his unpleasantness with his high-ranking officials and subordinates. He remained silent, wondering what to do while Kuster was thinking.
"So, do you have any good ideas? It gives me a reasonable name to get rid of them. Custer asked him for a solution.
He immediately said:
"I think we have a lot of ways to deal with them, depending on how you decide."
"Tell me about it."
"If you are conservative, then I suggest that you do not take any public opinion attacks, it is useless, you can directly express your opposition to those people with the senior officials, and swear that they will not support them, then I believe that the former will be happy to take the initiative to help you kill them. As for how to get rid of them, people like me shouldn't know, it's all up to you and the former to do it.
If you are different from the above, then it is better to make such statements abroad first, and let people outside know that this is an illegal organization that is not recognized, so as to avoid the remnants of the party absconding abroad. This war is going to be won, and no one is going to challenge the hegemony of the Allies. And you can start making that kind of talk at home when things are going well, and if the cabinet ministers take notice, they'll get involved. β
Trios finished speaking in one breath, without the slightest pause, and stunned what Custer said, but he was still saying:
"If you're too much trouble and don't think it's good, the quickest way is to go out into the street and fight with those guys. I believe that the domestic politics will be chaotic that day, but within a week, it will be completely subsided, and all the remnants will be arrested, and the army, the police, and even the corrupt officials will be purged. β
"Wait, you wait." Kuster was stunned by what he said, and quickly interrupted:
"Let's take a look. How do you know they'll take my oath? I'm afraid I don't have the impression that I will walk the talk. β
"They don't need to believe it, they just see it as a hidden threat. Because they are willing to clear the so-called followers of you, and after getting your promise, it means that you are sure of the matter and will not go back, and once they do, they can brand you as 'untrustworthy'. β
Kusworth nodded, feeling that Trios was not simple, he actually understood it so well, it seemed that he was the king who understood, and Kuster was still not good compared to him.
Based on his explanation alone, Kuster has a rough idea. Immediately jumped up, walked to his side, leaned on his shoulder with one hand, stretched out his five fingers with the other hand and gradually retracted, and said:
"I want them all!"
"Uh...... Are youβAre you sure? Trios was a little stunned, and he stammered as he spoke.
"Why not? I can now go out and find a guy and beat him to death. β
As soon as the words fell, the two heard the sound of rushing outside the door.
"Huh." Kuster sneered:
"I don't think I need mercy now."
"You don't seem to have much pity." Trios said jokingly.
Naturally, Kuster didn't care, he dialed Franz's phone and said sharply:
"Hey! Here we go, I decided to clean the inside first. Kill Wiltok and his lackeys! Either way, even the most extreme and terrifying means are to cut a hole in their heads! I'll take care of all the consequences. β
Kuster didn't want to give him time to react, and just wanted to hang up, but there was an immediate response from there.
"You're crazy! Come back and make such a big move, for fear that the Germans don't know about you? β
In addition to Franz's familiar accent, several exclamations and the cracking of cups could be heard. Although Franz was stingy, he obviously didn't have the heart to beg for money this time.
"Germans?" Kuster cut and raised his brow contemptuously:
"What is he? Could it be that there is a kind of fight that will come to Vienna tomorrow? He said a little bitterly: "As for the Kaiser, does he have a general who really listens to him, is there one!" β
After that, he hung up the phone, leaving no chance at all.
"Are you really not afraid!" Trios, who was behind him, suddenly became frightened and screamed:
"You hear me, more than one person! If...... If. He suddenly couldn't say any more.
"So what? If it's one of us, that's great! It can save a few drops of saliva; If not, then better, let others know that I'm Kuster here, and although I don't want to admit it, I'm sure the emperor will shelter me and see if they have the ability to slaughter me!
If you're scared, then you don't need to go out, stay here honestly, don't care how many people die on the street these days, and do your job with peace of mind! I'll put you at ease. β
Kuster pulled out the pistol at his waist and carefully counted the bullets, slowly, like counting down to life.
There were twenty-eight rounds, and it looked like the logistics were not cutting corners.
Biting the corner of his mouth, he loaded the gun vigorously and slowly walked to the door.
Before leaving, he turned back and said:
"Remember, don't go out, it's none of your business."
