13. Principality (6)

"I didn't sleep with her in the end. ”

Leaning against the railing of the landing on the top floor of the guest house, Murat snickered.

Dressed in business attire, he looks like a bad student who skips class, and considering the elves' almost rigid insistence on "rules" and "rules", his tutor and boss may have had a headache with this inappropriate personality.

"I don't think that's funny, you know, I don't have to work overtime for three days in a row. ”

Out of class and interpersonal considerations, Parsifar did not complain to Murat, chewing on the refreshing "combat energy bar" in his mouth, and glancing at the unruly commander with dark eyes.

"I don't want to be called to tea by the gendarmerie or Stacy for a moment of fun. ”

The Racial Marriage Act was enacted primarily to prevent the sparsely populated elves from intermarrying with a different race and causing the population to become smaller. Despite a very racist-sounding name, there are few strong measures in the implementation process, and government agencies and organizations rarely intervene as long as it is not a serious criminal offense.

After all, in the face of the difference in lifespan between elves and other intelligent species, as well as the fact that there is a low pregnancy rate among different species with different genetic sequences, it is not more meaningful to characterize a love affair that is impossible to produce results as "shaking the country's capital", except to make people feel that "this thing should be chatted with a brain doctor".

But for the elven men and women who run outside of Agen Toraton, the Racial Marriage Law is a high-voltage line that must not be crossed, because it is likely to reveal their identities. It is also implicated in sexual bribery and espionage plots.

Stasi often takes pictures and recordings of people behind the magic glass of brothels, hotels, and sex clubs, and then holds "Hotel Passion .AVI", "Drag Swap. MKV", "Teenage Girl Incarceration Femdom. RMVB" and other unsightly audio-visual materials came to visit. In line with the principle of preparedness, companies and military expatriates also have strict prohibitions in this regard.

"Well, anyway, it's still worth sacrificing your sleep time, at least we know two important information. ”

Murat cocked up two fingers and sneered:

"First, the area around the fortress is not the worst, and second, our Lord Count is in trouble. ”

Surprisingly, Natalia is not the maid at the earl's side. Rather, it was a serf on the estate. Responsible for the care of livestock. Therefore, there is a certain understanding of the situation around the fortress.

If the last time I met the group of villagers lived a miserable life, then the life of the soldiers and their families in the rear of the fortress can only be described as inhumane.

The servicemen in the rear have not been paid 1 capet for 6 months or more, and the soldiers and their families live in shacks. Those who have access can also dump munitions to maintain turnover. Those who have no way and are not good at speculation can only rely on working as long-term workers. Earn a little money by selling your body. More than a dozen instructors starved to death in the areas where the arrears were most severe, and the hungry soldiers had to take to the streets to beg for food for their families and themselves. Some troops secretly sold entire boxes of unopened muskets, repeaters, and explosives. Targets even include bandits and humans across the border!

"A bunch of idiots, sooner or later they will pay for it. ”

Murat still doesn't care, as the old saying goes, "No.zuo.No.die", there is no need to sympathize with the guy who is bent on death, and there is no need to care. As for those soldiers...... As their commander and the little Tsar Daddy said, a herd of "gray livestock", who cares if the animals live or die?

"Do you want to report to the top?"

Parsifal asked in a low voice, and Murat, who heard the overtones, curled the corners of her mouth and nodded.

Reporting intelligence is originally their side business, although there is a full-time intelligence department, but everyone knows that intelligence is a thing that needs to be compared with information from different sources one by one, and the worthless and false information is eliminated, and the remaining small part of the intelligence found within the time limit is valuable. Therefore, generally speaking, it is the top priority of intelligence work to broaden the amount of information and the corresponding analysis and processing capabilities as much as possible.

However, this does not include the intelligence officer's own feelings, and the information submitted to the superior must not be personal and emotional, so as to avoid miscalculation.

Therefore, Parsifal's words such as "the balance of strength between the two sides has been unbalanced" do not need to be written at all.

Just do your job, there are some things that their class can't ask about.

"The Count never cares about the life or death of the animals, and he has more important matters to deal with, such as urging our accountant to complete the revision of the accounts and deal with the blue-hatted men from St. Petersburg. ”

Listening to Murat's taunt, Parsifal could only laugh bitterly.

A bear with a blue hat.

Even a soldier who kills people and sells goods, does not take class into account, or a noble lord with a medal on his chest, will be frightened when he encounters a group of gloomy people wearing blue hats.

The spy and secret police agency of the United Principality of Rus' - the Directorate for the Protection of Public Safety and Order (Okhrannoe.otdelenie), commonly known as "Oklana". Its functions cover intelligence gathering, anti-intermediate, anti-corruption, internal security and border defense, ideological and public opinion surveillance, etc., and its power is far greater than that of its counterparts in other countries, even Stasi of Alfheim cannot be compared with it.

This violent body had the highest privileges of the principality, and they were responsible only to His Majesty the Tsar, and no one could command them except the Tsar and their director. It has more than 90,000 full-time and 180,000 part-time personnel, and these spies not only infiltrate foreign government military, political, and intelligence agencies, but also have a wide range of eyelines within their own borders. Every word and deed of His Majesty's subjects was under the watchful eye of Oklana. As soon as someone oversteps their word, the blue hat bear, who has absolute police rights, will immediately visit the door. The unlucky guy will then be sent to the court of Oklana, where he will be tried by Judge Oklana, and eventually sent to Oklana's specialized prison in the Arctic Circle, the "Gulag Archipelago", where he will remain until it rots.

Even the most honorable Earl in this fortress had to lower his body in front of Oklana.

"According to Natalia's description, there have been black carriages in the neighborhood recently, and our employees have noticed that the fortress has been haunted by unfamiliar faces recently, and it is likely that Oklana is not wrong. ”

"Why did the Tsar's secret agent suddenly remember to pay attention to the Count? ”

"Who knows, let Stasie take care of these things, we amateurs can do our part...... You have to prepare and leave for the base in Prokhovka today or tomorrow. ”

"I see. ”

There was no question of "so suddenly?", and Parsifal looked flat.

The duty of a soldier is obedience, and Parsifal is not a fool, and he can't even see what the count is trying to do when he sends a woman to the door. Even a small clerk like himself has to be co-opted, and it seems that Count Kuropatkin is being pressed quite hard by Oklana. As for the Oklana, who had not discovered the Brest Fortress for so many years, why did he suddenly become interested in it? As long as you are not a fool, you can smell the sinister smell of it.

Although Murat and the others don't want to be involved in the internal friction of the duchy at all, it is not a good thing for the business connection between the earl and the company to be pinched into the hands of Oklana, not to mention that Oklana is very likely to start from the company's side to obtain evidence of the count's crime.

At this time, there must be a person sitting on the scene, reporting the situation to the company's headquarters, and conducting on-site command and operation. In terms of military rank, qualifications, adaptability and other considerations, Murat is the best choice.

"I was going to take you to St. Petersburg, but now it seems that it will not work, and I will have the opportunity to compensate you later. ”

"Where, if you put your work first, I'll go back to my room and clean up. ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, it's not too late for you to set off after I arrange the tail of the hand. It's your first time in this country, and it's far more expansive than you can imagine, at least until I'm done selecting your guide. ”

"If I don't appreciate it, then I'll quit first. ”

The boy's back faded out of sight, and Murat let out a long breath as the rooftop door closed.

Putting aside the worries of taking care of rookies, Murat's mind returned to unfinished business.

Since just now, there has been a question that has been pressing on his chest, and he can't figure it out.

I am afraid that the Earl's bad deeds have long been recorded in Oklana, and if I really want to move him, I am afraid that the Earl will already cry in prison. Why do you choose to check now? and delay doing so?

What is happening in a place you can't see?

Leaning against the railing, looking up at the white clouds in the sky, the captain frowned. (To be continued......)
