Chapter 259: The Earl's Troubles

At the end of the song, people are scattered

Earl Colt shook his head regretfully as he watched the crowd leave his office, and the young Mr. Nobel left without looking back.

"Luo, wait a minute."

"Your Excellency, did you call me?" Luo Zhengtang, the deputy manager in charge of sales, walked to the door and asked in surprise.

Count Colt nodded, walked to the side of the reception room and sat down on the sofa, beckoned; "Let them go, just in time no one else is bothering, sit down and let's talk."

"I am glad to obey you, Your Excellency." Luo Zhengtang sat down a little unknowingly, he couldn't imagine what would happen to the chairman if he left him?

Count Colt did not speak immediately, but frowned, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrests of the sofa, thinking about something.

Luo Zhengtang couldn't interrupt the chairman's thinking, so he sat quietly on the side, waiting for him to speak.

"Luo, some time ago, Mr. Carola and Mr. Chen, laboratory researchers who were taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, have confirmed the news of the betrayal of secrets, and it is said that the Yankees are behind it, and they will definitely not come back in this case." Count Colt sighed as he spoke, and shook his head regretfully.

What he said made Luo Zhengtang stunned.

Luo Zhengtang knew that the Special Operations Department under the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a mysterious department with the power to initiate investigations against anyone in the military, political and business circles, and that what fell into their hands was a conspiracy to rebel and a big case involving foreign countries.

The Special Operations Division, which is composed entirely of retired military officers, is said to be directly responsible to His Majesty, and even the Minister of the Interior is not allowed to interfere in the cases investigated by the Special Operations Division.

Luo Zhengtang asked worriedly; "Your Excellency, I have also heard a little about Mr. Corolla, but the details are not clear, what you mean to me is ......"

"Alas, the deputy manager of the sales department you lead, Zheng, was also involved in the case and was secretly arrested last night. The company has repeatedly ordered to emphasize the sense of confidentiality, especially for secret projects in research and development, once revealed, it will endanger national security, which is not a trivial matter. ”

"Ah...... Deputy Manager Zheng ......" Luo Zhengtang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then his face changed miserably, and he asked in a hurry; "Your Excellency, has this case involved me? Oh my God! It's really sitting behind closed doors, and the disaster comes from heaven, and I really have never been involved in their affairs, and I don't know ......."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly stopped as if he was blocked, and looked at the door with a blank gaze.

Four strong men walked in from the door, all wearing dark blue woolen tunics, revealing a cold and murderous aura from the inside out, which seemed to be able to freeze people.

"Oh...... Oh, my God! Your Excellency, I beg you to help me......" Luo Zhengtang seemed to realize something, knelt down like an electric shock, and said eagerly with his hands tightly clasping Count Colt's legs;

"I beg you, Your Excellency, Earl, not to let them take me away, I swear to you that I have not done anything harmful to the company, and the surname Zheng did win me over, but I did not agree. Please help me as you watch me follow you for many years on the pommel horse......"

Luo Zhengtang had already said with tears in his eyes, he knew that Count Colt was very face-saving and appreciated in front of His Majesty, and he would definitely be able to speak.

At this time, he was already frightened, and the Earl was like a life-saving straw, refusing to let go.

Count Colt's face was extremely ugly, Luo Zhengtang was a loyal subordinate who had followed him for nearly 10 years, and over the years, he had followed all over the world. Stayed in the UK for more than a year and helped establish the Birmingham factory in the UK, with no credit and hard work.

His mouth opened, but he didn't make a sound.

Among the four people who came in, a young officer with a grim expression in the lead bowed his head slightly and said softly; "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but we've taken you."

After speaking, his hand gently patted Luo Zhengtang's back, and Luo Zhengtang immediately softened as if he had no bones, and he could no longer hold Count Colt's legs.

Then the young officer grabbed his back collar and dragged it up like a chicken, and handed it to the two strong men next to him to take it away.

"Farewell, noble lord, please don't spread the word about this, thank you for your cooperation." After saying that, the four young officers from the Special Operations Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs turned around and left, without the slightest bit of mud and water.

Count Colt sat on the sofa in a daze, his face was sunny and cloudy for a while, he knew that Luo Zhengtang was taken away and basically there was no possibility of coming back.

It's harder to get into the prison of the Special Operations Department and then come up with it than to get to the sky.

The Special Operations Division is a sharp blade in the hands of His Majesty, and it is made up of followers who are fanatical supporters of His Majesty, each of whom has served in the army, and is highly skilled and decisive.

Although it is under the name of the Ministry of the Interior, it is a relatively independent agency with independent investigative and operational powers, and it is responsible for all major and important cases.

As a sensitive weapons and equipment manufacturer, the Colt Arms Company is also one of the enterprises that the Special Operations Department pays close attention to, and secretly does not know how many eyes and ears have been inserted.

"Alas! Is it because the treatment given is not generous enough? ”

Half an hour later

Count Colt sighed heavily, and lay on the sofa with a tired expression, Mark Pearce, the chief engineer in charge of research and development, quietly walked in, put the cup of coffee in his hand on the coffee table in front of the earl, and said softly; "Your Excellency, many times we cannot influence the choices of others, and the human heart is the most difficult thing to guess."

"These idiots, they're all Chinese, huh? Why do you willingly give up a good income and a bright future, and do things for the Yankees like you have lost your mind? I really don't understand. ”

"Your Majesty has said; The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each different. Mark Pierce shook his head helplessly, sat down and took a sip of the coffee cup in his hand, and then looked at Count Colt with worried eyes and continued to persuade;

"Please don't reproach yourself for this, Your Excellency, it's not your fault. In this world, there are too many people who pick up the bowl to eat meat and put down the bowl to scold their mother. Maybe happiness comes too easily, and people don't know how to cherish it. ”

"Luo has been with me for 9 years, Chen and Carola have been in the company for more than 6 years, they seem to be very good people, why is this ......" Count Colt said this, and couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

He is a person who has very good means in running an enterprise, and his self-developed equipment has greatly improved the production efficiency of the weapons factory, and the management system he has introduced has been relaxed and moderate, and he has managed this large enterprise of more than 10,000 people in an orderly manner, and he can be said to be a very successful entrepreneur and inventor.

But Count Colt has a soft heart, attaches great importance to friendship, and treats his subordinates with a very human touch.

Everything that happened in front of him made it difficult for Count Colt to accept, and his heart couldn't turn around for a while.

Mark Pierce also felt very uncomfortable when he saw that His Excellency the Earl had fallen into deep remorse, and hesitated and said;

"I don't know why they did it, and I don't know what they wanted. But I know very well that their actions are endangering the security of the kingdom and violating the promise of loyalty to the king when they took the oath of naturalization, and I do not think that such people deserve sympathy, let alone forgiveness, and that the prison of the Special Operations Division is where they should be, and I firmly believe that. ”

"Mark, they've all been colleagues for many years!"

"From the time they made a move to endanger the kingdom, they were no longer our colleagues, but enemies."

"This ...... Maybe you have a point, loyalty to the kingdom, loyalty to Your Majesty, is the unswerving oath of the Colt family, maybe I really shouldn't be sad for them, these white-eyed wolves. ”

Speaking of this, Earl Colt took a big sip of coffee in a huff, swallowed it and looked at Mark Pierce in surprise, and said with a painful look on his face; "Oh my God, didn't you put sugar or milk in your coffee?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, I think you might be willing to taste bitter coffee, as at some point in your life."

"Oh...... Damn, Mark, although it is very beautiful, but don't think I forgive you, this coffee is so bitter to the heart, you have to have a cigar to relieve it, can you accompany me? ”

"I'm happy to accompany you."

In the courtyard of the Colt Arms Company, a dark carriage silently left the back door and quickly disappeared into the endless streets.

At the end of September, Chang'an (San Francisco) is sunny, with a maximum temperature of about 23 degrees Celsius and a minimum temperature of more than 12 degrees at night, making the climate very pleasant.

Sunset Boulevard is lined with buildings, shops along the street are bustling with people, horse-drawn carriages all drive on the right, and a green belt in the middle of the road divides the traffic in half, each in its own way, and looks orderly.

In an Italian café on the side of the road, Fan Pengju, a young lieutenant officer, sat at a coffee table, opposite a white girl in a rich Parisian dress, young and beautiful, with a radiant look of joy on her face.

This white girl is Sally, the eldest daughter of Earl Colt, 19 years old this year, a second-year student in the history department of the University of California, a noble girl of noble birth.

"Pengju, I'm tired of it, my father always wants to introduce me to that stupid Nobel Prize, that guy is just a piece of wood. Can you believe that...... On a date with me, he ran away and went into the lab for days and nights, saying that some inspiration had come, oh my God! It's just a weirdo...... "Sally is like a happy bird chirping, constantly talking about the troubles in her heart.

Lieutenant Fan Pengju listened patiently to the girl's nagging, keeping a warm smile on his face, and comforted her after she finished speaking; "Mr. Nobel is a very accomplished young scientist, and maybe it's boring to be friends, but it's certainly not weird."

"Hmph, you're still talking for him?"

"It's an objective assessment, okay, okay...... I admit my mistake, I also think he's a weirdo, okay, don't be angry. Seeing Sally pouting angrily, Lieutenant Fan Pengju could only raise his hands in surrender.

Women are emotional creatures, and sometimes it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it just depends on whether you are on the same line with her.

Sure enough, after Lieutenant Fan Pengfei surrendered, Sally immediately turned her anger into joy and threw a wink.

The two young men and women talked and laughed very harmoniously, and left an unforgettable date time in the street café in this afternoon.

This young lieutenant officer, Fan Pengju, is the Chinese officer who gives Earl Colt a headache, and he doesn't know what the charm is, and the soul of his eldest daughter Sally has been hooked.

Of course, the little lieutenant is not in the eyes of the earl, but this young lieutenant has an uncle and cousin named Fan Pengfei, who is now the brigadier general and division commander of the "Snow Mountain Division", guarding the eight southern provinces, and is like one of the important ministers of the military.

With this level of relationship, even Count Colt is not good at openly opposing the relationship between the two.

In the Tang Kingdom, the military is a very high-status profession, highly respected, and the upper class nobles with a military background have great influence, and they are inextricably linked to each other.
