Chapter 53 Parliamentary Vote
"Levi, how is this extramural investigation going? Erwin said he wanted to go to the Higanshina area, how far did you go? Hanji crouched down and washed his hands with water from a bucket.
Levi stood by the wall of the factory, looked sideways at the shining steel machine gun on the grassland, and said lightly: "It's no different from the previous times, after half a year, the distribution of the giants who explored last time has changed, and I knew that you had created this kind of thing, so I didn't go outside the wall." β
"Who knew this kind of thing would come out a month ago." Hanji shouted, wiped his clothes, looked around like a thief, and suddenly approached Levi, and whispered, "Compared to that, I seem to have discovered a great secret recently." β
"What?"
"Ian, that kid, maybe it's the people of the future, because, you think, who can invent so many things in such a short period of time except for the people of the future? So I think he may have traveled through a time tunnel, from the future to us. β
"So what?"
"Huh? Don't you understand? He's a man of the future, a man of the future! β
"I ask you, what about him being a man of the future?"
"Think about it! Maybe he's behind some evil plan, maybe there will be one in the future, that... Well... For example, someone from the Temporal Authority, or a talking blue fat tanuki came to us, perhaps to do some strange experiment. β
"That kind of thing, only you would worry about." Levi's gaze never took off the [Gatling to the Giant] for a moment: "As long as that imp can send those shit-like giants to hell and change this shit-like world, as long as he wins, that's fine." β
Hanjika choked on words in her throat and finally sighed, "Levi, do you think so?" β
"Aren't you too, helping that little imp build a weapon?" Levi stepped away.
"Where are you going?" Hanji yelled at Levi's back.
"Go get some sleep and call me again when you're eating." Levi waved his right hand.
...
In the evening of the same day, the central government convened a parliament.
"Now for the vote on whether or not to carry out the Plan for the Recapture of Mary, raise your right hand if you vote in favor, and raise your left hand if you vote against."
Hannes, with his back combed, stood on the stage and swept everyone sitting in the seats with a sharp, cold gaze.
Erwin was the first to raise his right hand, then Pixis, and soon, all the councillors raised their right hands.
"Then now announce the results."
The seal in Hannes' hand knocked down, and there was a crisp thud.
"The plan for the recapture of Mary will be implemented, and the execution team will set out from the royal capital on April 3 and is expected to return on April 28."
"Thank you, now the meeting is dissolved."
...
At night, the carriage of the Ian Chamber of Commerce stopped in front of the palace of the princess.
Ian, accompanied by Hannes, got out of the car and walked through the main entrance into the palace.
Heatheria was reading a book in her study with a candle lit, she had a lot to learn, and Ian found some books on politics and humanities for her to read.
As a princess, she must know how to get along with the masses, and when she appears in the eyes of the public, she must be a perfect image, and she must be extremely cautious in her words and deeds to maintain her image in the hearts of the people.
She has maintained this well so far, her smile is very healing, her popularity in the royal capital is very high, and there are even private support clubs, and the sales of goods related to the princess usually skyrocket, even if there is no difference between that thing and similar goods.
Ian knocked on the door, "It's me, Ian." β
There was a sound of trotting footsteps, the door was slammed open, and Heatria, who was wearing a long dress, blinked: "Ian, you're here, do you want to play chess together?" β
"Next time." Ian touched Heatheria's little head: "I'm here to say goodbye to you, and the day after tomorrow I'm going to leave the royal capital to participate in the battle to recapture Maria." β
"That's rightβ" Heatheria lowered her head slightly, but soon showed a sunny smile and stretched out her hands to make a ceremonial hug: "I wish you a smooth journey." β
"Thank you." Ian smiled.
After a little bit of finalizing the agenda with Heatheria, Ian returned to the Ian Chamber of Commerce.
"Is there a letter today?" Ian asked.
"Yes." The middle-aged woman handed him a piece of stationery: "It's a letter from the Wall of Rouse." β
Ian nodded, took the envelope and the oil lamp, walked upstairs, and said to the middle-aged woman, "Ask Ymir to come to me." β
"Yes." The middle-aged woman nodded.
Ian rested the brass oil lamp on the wooden table, sat on the soft couch, and opened the envelope to watch.
The text written on the letter paper is not the text used in the wall, it is Marley's text, and there are similarities with the text in the wall, but Ian has not been able to read the letter smoothly at the moment.
The people who wrote back to him were Reiner and Bertol.
As for why the two men wrote back to him, because he borrowed the identity of "Yani Reinhardt" and had "secret contact" with these two warriors from the other side of the sea.
After a little waiting, a woman came into the house.
She has sleek black hair, a slight black linen on the sides of her cheeks, and is tall.
She had a white towel around her neck, her hair was wet, her skin was tinged red from the water she had just soaked, and she was wearing only short sleeves and shorts.
As soon as I came in, I sat down on the sofa very unceremoniously, picked up the hand-baked cookies on the plate and ate them with a clatter.
"Ymir, please take a look, what is written on this letter?" Ian handed her the letterhead.
"Have you already replied, so quickly?" Ymir took the letter and looked at it.
"After all, it's been half a month, what's written on it?"
"It said, I know, you are alone in the king's capital."
"Is that all?"
"That's all."
"It's really simple, I hope they can stay in the pioneer land honestly during this time." Ian rubbed his temples and pulled out a stack of paper from the drawer.
Words had already been written on the paper, and this was the handwriting left by "Yani", who had taken a literacy class during her three days of training at the Chamber of Commerce.
Ian asked Ymir to imitate these handwritings and write a letter in the tone of "Yanie Reinhardt":
"I have successfully infiltrated the palace, I will contact you again when I have information, you are waiting in the development area, do not be exposed."
The news of the giantess incident only circulated in a very small circle, and not many people knew about it in the royal capital, let alone far away in the pioneering place of the Rossi Wall.
Civilians just feel that their quality of life has improved, and they don't know why.
In this place where there are no telephones and radios, the flow of information is very closed, in order to prevent Reiner and Bertolt from doing anything unusual, Ian came up with this trick, found Ymir, and used the Ian Chamber of Commerce as a bridge to send a message to confuse the two.
