Macho Wars

But for all kinds of spies with a wider range of intelligence sources, this case may be the "big event" that deserves their most attention in the near future!In order to obtain more inside information, some organizations that did not interfere with each other even began to cooperate, making the dark tide under the water more raging.

As the scale of the search continued to expand, the movement became louder and louder, and the actions of the military soon reached the ears of the royal family and the cabinet government.

This kind of search-and-rescue paramilitary operation itself has nothing to say. Although Dragoon personally ordered an increase in the size of the search force, a total of three regiments of nearly 10,000 people, hundreds of vehicles and More than forty planes came, but at least the division was well-known, and the resources used did not exceed the scope of his authority as the chief of the military.

But some people couldn't stand it because they were upset by Dragoon, deliberately making fuss in front of the Queen Mother and the Chief Cabinet.

Latuk naturally knows what plans these guys and the family forces they represent behind are doing, nothing more than hope that the royal family and cabinet can go out to check and balance the military to ensure that their interests will not be harmed.

In fact, Latuk really hopes to restrain the current imperial army a bit and strengthen the cabinet government's control over the armed forces.But this can only be achieved with the cooperation of various domestic forces.

Just rely on the royal majesty today?Even the aristocratic groups below are not necessarily suppressed, let alone Qiu Bamen holding guns.

However, what made Latuk feel very helpless was that he was very compelling in his heart, but the one sitting above him did not look like he was.

Since Howard died of illness, in the eyes of the old lady, there has been no one to trust and rely on.This made her more disturbed and suspicious. Even Latuk couldn't fully trust this old woman who was completely paranoid and unable to extricate herself.

The representatives of those noble groups saw this point and used it decisively.They don't need to win the trust of the Queen Mother, they just need to say something innuendo in front of her to make her jealous of other people.

This makes Latuk feel both ironic and sad, because he originally proposed that the Queen Mother be the regent, he took the lead.

Today's imperial political arena is like a bottomless quagmire, with various forces intertwined and constraining each other.Except for the almost emptied royal family, the cabinet led by Latuk is a faction of its own, temporarily controlling the government. Although the former aristocratic Senate was disbanded, the remnant party headed by the new Duke of Barano Levins has recently come back Potential.

After Howard's death, because his grandchildren stayed in the mainland, the independent Eastern Empire established a Barano House on its own and passed the title to Howard's younger brother, Levins Barano. .

Thanks to the kinship, although the queen mother Susan didn't like the third elder brother like the dude, she at least recognized him as a relative, so after Howard was gone, this guy quickly shook again.

Under the banner of "rebuilding order," the remnants of the Senate have been hoping to restore the old system, that is, to rebuild the aristocratic Senate, so that the upper-level institutions of the Eastern Empire can return to the state before the outbreak of the Civil War.

Naturally, the cabinet is unwilling to agree to their request.

As a result, the two traditional civil service groups began a secret struggle for power. By coincidence, at this time, the military forces represented by Dragon stepped forward and demanded the government to do what it should do with regard to the series of chaos in the colony.

These actions of Dragon were originally intended to serve the country and the people, but in the eyes of some politicians who like to save others by themselves, they suddenly became more than simple.

These guys didn't dare to understand this unruly destructive dragon, but they did a lot of small actions in private.Even the queen mother was also affected by these small reports, feeling that Dragon stretched his hand too long, and was suspected of going beyond his power.And this search operation allowed these politicians to once again find an excuse to attack Dragon, and insinuately said something imaginary.

Latuk sneered at the behavior of these people's brothers.

Their slanderous method of rumors is indeed very useful to deal with loyal and good people like Howard, and they can often be forced to subdue for self-evident innocence.But using this set of civil official fighting routines to deal with real tigers and wolves like Dragon is really a dead end.

However, although Latour was very clear in his heart, he did not say anything to stop those stupid people from jumping out to death.

One is because he understands that the queen mother doesn't really like his son-in-law, who is of civilian origin, so he can't say good things for Dragon in front of her, so as not to upset her.Secondly, someone really needs to sing red face to have the opportunity to sing white face to win people's hearts.

However, even as cunning as Latuk, he would never guess that a little guy who was selectively ignored by many of them is now listening carefully to the speeches of every minister present, and then recording these contents. And then passed by many people, and finally sent to Dragon.

This little "eyeliner" is no one else, but the young emperor Andy himself who has been sitting on the throne without a word.

Indeed!Andy, who has received "happy education" since he was a child, has never systematically studied court politics because of the love and protection of the old emperor, but it does not mean that he really knows nothing about politics. He sits on the throne every day and listens to politics. After a long time, I naturally understood a little.

And he always kept his uncle Howard's entrustment in his heart, believing that brother-in-law Dragon was a more trustworthy person than the noisy ministers in front of him.

So when Andy, who was listening to the discussion, found that many ministers were hostile to Dragon. When he said bad things about his brother-in-law in front of his mother, Andy instinctively wanted to speak up, but he soon realized that his mother was not. A person who was able to listen in and persuade had an idea and changed his strategy.

The ministers of the cabinet might not even dream of it. The little emperor who seems harmless to humans and animals, every day when he hears politics, he will concentrate on writing down all of them in his head, and then turn his head to entrust some of the few cronies around him. , Pass these messages out of the palace and deliver them to Dragon.

Chapter 610

After a day of various meetings, large and small, Latuk, who was no longer young, got on his special car and was ready to go home and rest.

The convoy of escorts left the government building and drove on the main road in the city.Latuk slightly opened the curtain on the car window, letting the bustle and bustle of the feasting outside a little bit leak in.

Knew it!A colony is a colony. Even the most developed capital, Port Pandora, is far from being compared with the local imperial capital.But it is a pity that the developed homeland now belongs to "foreign", and these losers in exile can only try to accept the new environment...and the cruel reality.

Recalling the meeting in front of the temple in the daytime today, Latuk had the heart to meet with Dragon in private, and everyone could talk openly and honestly.

Latuk knows very well that in the current Eastern Empire, if his cabinet chief wants to continue to be a minister of power, the support from the military is essential, but the two lines of civil and military are too close and are political taboos. Even the silly old lady of the Queen Mother understands.

Therefore, the ideal state is to maintain a tacit understanding between the two sides.

But the main problem now is that Dragoon’s strong control over the army has made many cabinet officials feel strongly uneasy, so they are eager to let Dragoon surrender part of the military power, but these people are obviously Used the wrong way.

As the leader of the cabinet faction, Latuk, even though he knew that these people could not be allowed to fool around, he could not clearly oppose it.Because there are also many factions within the cabinet, Latuk, the so-called chief of the cabinet, is actually coerced by the opinions of the majority.

"We must find a way to find an opportunity..."

As he kept talking, Latuk's thoughts of meeting Dragon became stronger.At this time, he noticed a fascinating and irritating pink light leaking in from the window, and suddenly he had an idea.

"Ok, turn around, we won't go home yet."

"Master, where are you going?"

"Canary Street, old place."

Hearing Latuk talking about Canary Street, the driver suddenly showed a comprehensive expression.Not to mention that Latuk is almost 80 this year. Last year he even had a great-grandson, but he was still very popular back then. Not long after he came to the colony, he found a young and beautiful little lover there. Keep him in a secret villa on Canary Street.

Latuk likes this sneaky tryst, which allows him to regain some of the feeling of his youth.

The team quickly diverted and went to the place where Latuk Jin’s house was hidden. When the little lover saw that "Godfather" came to see him again, he immediately seemed very happy.But after Latuk came and sat down for a while, he asked the other party to bring him a set of casual clothes, saying that he had important business and needed to go out.

With the help of the little lover, Latuk changed into an inconspicuous civilian dress, took his confidant assistant, left the villa through the back door, and then got a car and secretly went out of the city to the Li Mansion.

Latuk had already learned this morning that Dragoon had returned to Port Pandora from the eighth district late last night, because his wife Alicia finally gave birth, and she was still a "double yolk egg". Latuk also politely sent someone to give some gifts to the baby.

Soon, Latuk drove to the Li Mansion and asked his makeup assistant to secretly hand over the post.When the housekeeper Lyudmila heard about it, she immediately found Dragon, who was looking at the babies in the nursery with a smirk, and informed him that a guest who was inconvenient to reveal his identity came to visit.

Lyudmila showed him and Alicia on the side of each other's famous post, and Alicia recognized it at a glance. This was the family coat of arms of the Minister of the Interior Latuk.

"Strange, why is he here?"

"My dear, let's see, he secretly came to the door in person. There must be something important to discuss in person."

"Um... invite them in."

With Dragon's permission, Lyudmila immediately took Latuk from the back door through the secluded garden path to the greenhouse, where the two sides met.

As soon as the two met, Latuk first congratulated Dragon on his son. Although he had two daughters before, according to the traditional concept of the empire, the daughter would not be selected as the heir to the title if he was a last resort. Not only did he have a son this time, but he was also born to the eleventh princess Alicia. At least in terms of pedigree, this little heir is already impeccable.

It's just that Dragon doesn't care much about gender and ancestry. No matter boys or girls, these little angels are the crystallization of love between him and his wives.

Perhaps it was because the two were facing each other and there was no one else around. Latuk did not have to speak in circles like in the officialdom.As soon as he came up, he expressed his intentions straightforwardly and informed the current cabinet government in full.

Latuk clarified his ambitions and bottom line, frankly he has no plans to fight Dragoon, and even hopes to get support from the military he represents.That's why he made a special trip here, just hoping to have a frank and honest talk with Dragoon.

In addition, Latuk also specially reminded Dragon that the young emperor Andy is currently unable to pro-governance, and the queen mother is the nominal supreme ruler of the Eastern Empire, who has the final decision on government affairs before the emperor reaches adulthood.

But since Howard's death, this woman has become more surly and suspicion. Not only did she hate Dragon, but Latour also became more and more distrustful. On the contrary, she began to rely on her third brother Levins. .
