161 Effective pressure

On Yang Luo's right, the gray-haired female official quickly entered the state and began to tell in detail:

"Major Yang Luo's special envoy, we don't have much information at present, and we have been asked to keep it strictly confidential before."

The incident took place twenty-one galactic hours ago, and we get the news eight galactic hours ago, when the Sherman Noble Court and the Foreign Affairs Bureau have intervened.

"Her Royal Highness Emilia is now in a special ship of the noble court, and has been given special care, and the personnel who come into contact with Her Royal Highness the Princess are restricted to healthy women, so there is no need to worry about safety for the time being."

"According to the feedback given to us by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, this is the protection of His Highness"

Yang Luo listened carefully for a while and extracted several key information.

First, aristocratic courts are usually mainly used to mediate conflicts between nobles;

Second, the Foreign Affairs Bureau wants to settle the matter, after all, Princess Dina is involved in this, and Princess Dina is related to the 'Emperor Intelligence Plan of the Subject Country';

Third, the attitude of the head of the Mensa family is ambiguous, and he does not dare to offend the Foreign Affairs Bureau, nor can he suppress the anger within the family.

The one who now demands that Emilia be punished severely, is the son of the Count of Mensa and has the right to inherit the next Earl.

The conference room fell silent.

Yang Luo sat there thinking carefully, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop.

"Give me some of the family history of the Count of Mensa, a rough one."

"Okay envoy, this is Count Mensa's family information."

A thick stack of projection documents appeared in front of Yang Luo.

The Sherman Empire has existed for tens of thousands of years, starting with the founding emperor Levi Sherman, and developing to the current grandeur of the galaxy 10,000 years ago, relying on invincible ships.

Based on the terrifying base of Sherman, who has hundreds of administrative stars and a population of more than 200 billion, the nobles of the Sherman Empire remain at the level of tens of millions.

Among the tens of millions of nobles, only one percent of the nobles can have the qualification of 'hereditary replacement', and the vast majority of them are small nobles without fiefs.

The Sherman Empire is very cautious about 'succession'.

For example, if the Earl of Mensa chooses an heir, only that heir will have the title, and the other heirs will not receive any low-level titles.

If the Mensa clan wants to obtain a knighthood, they must either join politics or the military to help the Sherman Empire expand its territory.

The pioneers of the Mensa family, who made great contributions in the imperial crisis thousands of years ago, have this sustainable title of nobility, and this relatively remote administrative star as a fief.

Claiming to be a fief with the administrative star, in fact they had only a small amount of land at their disposal, which was used to build manors, train nobles' private armies, and was confined to an area far from the normal city. The Sherman Empire is now implementing the 'Imperial New Calendar', and the new calendar was promulgated at the point of the 'Imperial Reform' that took place more than 700 years ago, which also weakened the power of the Sherman Empire's aristocracy, adding more restrictions and reducing most of the benefits to the Imperial aristocracy.

The family now has dozens of knights.

Before retiring from the army, the modern Earl Mensa served as commander of the Imperial Ship Regiment and the rank of rear admiral.

After the serious injury of the Earl's grandson and the next heir to the Earl's throne, more than a dozen nobles of the Mensa family rushed to the family estate to counter the diplomatic pressure brought by the Falling Wind Empire.

After reading the information of the Mensa family, Yang Luo also felt a little headache.

The nobles of the empire liked to hold together.

The Mensa family has existed for thousands of years, and it has been spreading over the years, and it is rare, and the real aristocratic lord with the two labels of fief and inheritance is related to the family of military merit in the empire who does not know how much.

If this matter is very stiff, the forces of the imperial nobility will quickly unite.

The Falling Wind Empire was only one of the twenty-two vassal states of the Sherman Empire.

You can't force it.

Yang Luo leaned back in his chair, and he couldn't help yawning after reading the documents for too long.

The diplomat's aunt said softly, "Your Excellency, the best outcome we are seeking at the moment is to escort Her Highness Emilia home. ”

"Can Princess Dinah contact us?" Yang Luo asked.

"Princess Diane is accompanying Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the Princess's entourage is also by Her Royal Highness's side."

An old general of the royal guard sighed: "Her Royal Highness the princess is only fifteen years old, where has she gone through such a battle?" ”

Yang Luo pouted: "When she was only fifteen years old, she dared to stab someone with a sword, and when she was twenty-five, she would have to pay it back?" ”

Quiet.

A group of officials looked at Yang Luo in disbelief.

Yang Luo didn't feel anything, and said quickly:

"What we have to consider now is not to use diplomacy and pay any price in exchange for Her Royal Highness Emilia returning home."

"It's about proving that Emilia was acting in self-defense or by mistake, and not intentionally hurting someone."

"What the eldest grandson of that earl did, this is the most important thing."

"I know Emilia better, she's talked to me more times than her brother in the past two years, I mean, we have to start from the law, not from the diplomacy, understand?"

More than a dozen people in the conference room nodded at the same time.

"But the envoy, the human and material evidence for this matter is complete."

"Even from a legal point of view, the Imperial Court of Nobles must be biased in favor of their own."

"No," Yang Luo said with a smile, "aren't we the Empire's own people?" The silver that Luofeng has given for so many years can be tens of thousands of times more than the taxes paid by the Count Mensa family. ”

A group of officials could only smile wryly.

"Relax, I probably already have a clue, speaking of which, the knight's sword was still given to her by me."

Yang Luo spread his hands and said:

"Originally, it was just an ornament, but then she opened the blade, saying that it was used as a protective weapon."

"I'll lay it out briefly, we have about three hours left to reach the airspace where Count Mensa's fief is located, and these three hours are the most critical."

"First, we need to find a way to contact Emilia and Princess Dinah, or the Princess's personal maid, and we can let the Foreign Affairs Bureau think of a way."

"Second, look for the leader of the Foreign Affairs Bureau who is in charge of our affairs in Luofeng, even if it is directly stuffing money and gifts, we must invite the other party to come to the fiefdom of Count Mensa, we need assistance from within the empire."

Third, to create public opinion within the territory of the Falling Wind Empire.

"With the headline that Her Royal Highness Princess Emilia was banned and Her Royal Highness Princess Emilia was seriously injured in defense of the Count's grandson, the news network was fully rolled out to create public opinion pressure in our country."

"When public opinion begins to ferment, immediately use the official platform to clarify, saying that this matter is not convenient to announce, but it is suspected that the new federal spies are intending to split the indestructible alliance between the Sherman Empire and the Sherman Empire, and the Sherman Empire and the Sherman Empire prosper together.

"Remember, the third one is especially important and needs to be completed within three hours."

Yang Luo paused, found that everyone did not reply, and asked, "Is there a problem with the execution?" ”

A group of uncles and aunts immediately shook their heads.

"Then hurry up and do it, hurry, run forward, if you miss the opportunity, Your Highness Emilia will be in danger of life!"

Yang Luo deliberately exaggerated, and several diplomats turned their heads and rushed towards the door.

Subsequently, Yang Luo spoke with Edwang again.

Neither of them was too worried about what happened to Emilia next.

This matter is not destined to make a big fuss.

Falling Wind is now the leader of the vassals, and Edwan's political position in the Sherman Empire is far from comparable to that of the Earl family.

They were more concerned about why Emilia would make a move.

This little guy must have suffered some kind of grievance or even humiliation.

"Don't worry, Edwan," Yang Luo said in a deep voice, "If Emilia is bullied, I will make the Mensa family pay. ”

"I'm not worried about this since you showed up," Edwan asked with a frown, "what are you doing in the Empire?" ”

Yang Luo said: "I came here on purpose and jumped more than a dozen times. ”

Edwan smiled: "This matter will trouble you, if Emilia deliberately hurts people for no reason, then I will come forward to intercede for her again I have been too busy in the past few years, and I have indeed become a lot estranged from her, alas." ”

"Go get busy, Your Majesty, it's time for you to think about getting married and having children."

Yang Luo's arrangement quickly achieved results.

The last jump of the transport ship appeared in the airspace near the administrative star of the fiefdom of Count Mensa.

A deputy director of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau, who was already waiting nearby by boat.

After confirming the identity of the transport ship, the deputy chief took several assistants and went straight to the ship in a small ship.

Yang Luo led the Falling Wind Mission to wait for the safety gate of the outer cabin, and when the cabin was pressurized, the simulated gravity was stable, and the oxygen content of the air reached the equilibrium value, the safety gate was immediately raised, and the deputy director appeared in front of Yang Luo.

This is an elderly woman, wearing a professional skirt and her eyes are very sharp.

The diplomat behind Yang Luo immediately said: "This is Mrs. Marge, the third deputy director of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau, and the prime minister for all matters related to our downfall. ”

Princess Dinah's boss?

Seeing that this Madame Marge stretched out her right hand, Yang Luo gave a military salute first, and then stretched out his hand to shake the other party.

"Major Yang Luo, I have admired my name for a long time."

That was Madame Marg's only pleasantries.

She immediately cut to the chase:

"I was surprised that you came to Sherman, this should be Edwan's wisdom."

"It is indeed a very ingenious idea to let the soldiers who dare to open fire on the new federation come to contact the Count Mensa family."

"I need to warn you, though, that the Count Mensa family is a bit tricky, and they're now indignant that I just came from there."

"There was still an hour's sail to get to the courthouse ship, and we had to come up with a plan."

Yang Luo said: "I just want to know what they did to Emilia now. ”

"Emilia is not harmed," Madame Margo looked to her sides, "this is not the place to talk, come with me, let's find a place where we can talk the inside story. Handsome Mr. Major. ”

Anti-customer-oriented.

This may be the 'domineering' of imperial officials

A few minutes later, in the cramped conference room, the shielding was fully opened.

Two of Madame Marg's assistants stood aside, and behind Yang Luo was a diplomat and a colonel of the Guard.

Mrs. Marg first gave Yang Luo a video material.

It was the lounge of the noble court ship, and Emilia lay on the large soft and spacious bed, and Princess Dinah sat by the bedside with her;

Two maids were resting on the sofa in the corner, and the two maids stood in the doorway, blocking the glass window of the door.

Please rest assured," Madame Marge said, "Our protection of the Princess and Princess is very comprehensive, and we maintain the utmost respect for the Falling Wind Empire. ”

"What happened?" Yang Luo asked in a deep voice.

The corners of Madame Marg's mouth twitched slightly: μ some misunderstandings, it doesn't matter, now is how to calm the anger of the Mensa family."

"What happened?" Yang Luo's eyes became sharper.

Madame Marg pursed her lips and met Yang's eyes.

Just kidding, she is an imperial official, how could she be suppressed in momentum by a young officer from a vassal country?

Her confidence, her knowledge, and her experience are all her hard capital.

Half a minute later.

Madame Margot staggered her gaze and said slowly, "It doesn't matter what happens, what matters is how you solve the problem." ”

"No, Madame Marge," Yang Luo said unhurriedly, "Luofeng is a small country that has no dignity in front of the Sherman Empire, so we must know what is going on. ”

Madame Marg frowned.

Yang Luo gave an explanation:

"In this case, what we have to do is to pursue fairness, justice, and justice."

"If our Royal Highness the Princess maliciously hurts people, then please treat Emilia as an ordinary imperial nobleman according to the laws of the Empire, and she should serve her sentence and a fine."

"But if our Royal Highness the Princess is fighting back in self-defense, the Mensa family must give us an explanation."

"Princess Dinah has been married into the royal family of Luofeng for so many years, and has a high reputation and influence in the royal family, she is the stepmother respected by His Majesty Edwan, and she is also the princess who is loved by the people of Luofeng, and Emilia is regarded as a national treasure by the people of Luofeng."

"Their reputation is extremely important to the feelings of the people of the Falling Wind Empire."

Madame Marg was a little embarrassed: "But"

Yang Luo said: "There is nothing, public opinion in my country is about to blow up, I think you should already understand." ”

Madame Marg nodded slightly, "I understand the pressure you are under. ”

Yang Luo's hands and ten fingers were interlaced, placed in front of him, and his body leaned forward slightly:

"Madame Marg, I am asking you now out of respect for you."

"This matter is very likely to affect the diplomatic direction between the Falling Wind Empire and the Sherman Empire."

"Because Luofeng is a subject of Sherman, it has been targeted by the new federation one after another."

"In the past few years, we have thwarted several offensives of the New Federation, seized the right to speak internationally, suffered huge economic losses, suffered direct attacks from the New Federation, and together with the Sherman Empire Legion, repelled the evil New Federation invaders."

"You know this very well."

Madame Marg sighed softly: "Luofeng is an extremely important international partner of our country. ”

"So, what's going on?"

Yang's breathing became gentle, and his eyes almost burst into flames:

"I don't want to ask Her Highness the same question when I stand in front of her, there is a high probability that I will hurt her a second time."

"But she'll tell me everything without reservation, I promise you."

"She's my student, and her knight's sword was opened with my permission."

"She has made a mistake, I need to bear the same punishment, she has been wronged, and I must stand up for her."

Madame Marg clenched her fists slightly, her eyes a little hesitant.

Soon, she sighed and whispered, "It was the grandson of Count Mensa that the bastard drank some wine and tried to insult his aunt, Princess Dinah1/"

Yang leaned back.

What a little movie scene this is.

"Specifically?" Yang Luo asked, "Is there anyone else present?" ”

There are two Mensa guards, and they have taken Princess Dinah captive and tried to force her to comply," said Madame Marge, "We will take care of this matter, and we will dispose of both of them." ”

Dispose of it?

Yang Luo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Could the earl's grandson threaten Dinah with words like, 'You don't want anyone to know you're not my aunt'?

At this moment, Yang Luo's watch vibrated slightly, and a video popped up on it.

Off-site assistance from the law.

She had already hacked into the network of the administrative star in front of her, restored a deleted surveillance video, and handed it to Yang Luo when the time was right.

Yang Luo played the video in front of Madame Marge and her assistant.

In the footage, two guards push Princess Dinah, dressed for a dinner party, into a bedroom and then stand guard in front of the bedroom door.

Soon, a young man in a tuxedo walked down the hallway and pushed the door open, unbuttoning himself.

The colonel behind Yang Luo, who watched this scene, had his eyes on fire.

In the corner of the picture, a maid hurriedly runs away.

After less than two minutes, Emilia, still wearing a princess laurel and a long dress, dragged her sword through the hallway, scaring off the two guards with a swing of her sword, and kicked open the bedroom door that was not closed.

Madame Margo frowned, "Where did you get the video?" ”

"We also have a channel to buy information and send the video to His Majesty Edwan."

Young turned his head and said, then stared at Madame Margo with cold eyes.

"Madam, insulting my aunt, incest and betraying morality, doesn't the imperial law care?"

Madame Marg said: "This matter is difficult to deal with, and there are some hidden secrets that are inconvenient to publicize. ”

"Trying to rape a woman, don't you care about the laws of the empire?"

Madame Marga, however, said, "The influence of the Count of Mensa is also a matter that we must consider. ”

"Then the Foreign Affairs Bureau doesn't have to meddle in the next matter, Emilia is just protecting her mother, which is a humiliation that the royal family of the Falling Wind Empire can't bear!"

Yang Luo slapped the table and stood up.

"Because of our respect for His Majesty the Emperor of the Sherman Empire, we resisted the sanctions of the new Federation with the volume of eleven administrative stars under the huge pressure of the New Federation, and the Imperial Palace was bombarded by the heavy artillery of the New Federation, and the result was such treatment!"

Madame Marg hurriedly got up: "We must keep this matter to the smallest extent of influence, and Princess Dinah has not suffered any substantial harm. ”

Yang Luo said: "Honor is the life of the nobles!" The spaceship was diverted and applied to enter the forward administrative star spaceport, accompanied by the royal escort force fully armed. ”

"Yes!" The colonel replied loudly.

Yang Luo dialed Edwin's communication in front of Madame Marge, and he had already finished watching the surveillance of the Earl's Palace.

Edwan's expression had never been so solemn, and he opened his mouth with one sentence:

"Luo, I can rush to the Emperor Star at any time to ask for a meeting with His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Sherman Empire and ask him to administer justice for us."

Madame Marg's expression became a little frozen: "Your Majesty Edward, please exercise restraint, this matter must not be!" We can do more good for your country!"

She didn't expect that Yang Luo was on her side.

"Not for the time being, Your Majesty, if this is the case, then the Count Mensa family will probably have no bones, and the noble class of the Sherman Empire will have a great sense of rejection towards us."

Mrs. Marge breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yang Luo a lot more pleasing to the eye.

But it didn't last half a minute.

Madame Margo watched in astonishment, as the two fellows were plotting in the open.

Yang Luo said: "Please allow me to defend the honor of Princess Dinah and the honor of Her Royal Highness Emilia in the way of a soldier." ”

Edwan asked, "What do you need?" ”

"Adjust my title to Earl of the Falling Wind."

"Okay, I'm going to sign the executive order, what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to them for a duel! This is allowed by the laws of the Empire!"

Yang Luo burst into a few foul words:

"This damn Mensa family! If there is one, it is a man, and he will stand up for Lao Tzu, and I will crack them one by one! H1。 ”

Madame Marg's legs were a little weak, and she only felt her brain buzzing.

She suddenly thought of the 'war exploits' of the young man in front of her

It was he who fired the first shot of the Falling Wind's counterattack on the New Federation.
