The Governor's House of Marcelus is a four-story building surrounded by lawns surrounded by high fences. There are sentry towers at four corners, and an electromagnetic detection rod stands at the top of the sentry tower. Electromagnetic waves can be used to search for nearby energy fluctuations.
At this time, General Priestre and Speaker Peters stood on the steps in front of the Governor's door. From here, you can see that the craftsmen left behind in the Governor's house were building the lawn, and several magicians and alchemists were checking whether the magical mechanisms that defended the Governor's house were still working.
A reinforced battalion of the Royal Musketeers Cavalry Regiment is responsible for defending the Governor's Office. Machine guns have been set up on the sentry tower and the roof of the Governor's Office. Inside and outside the yard, dark muzzles can also be seen at the shooting holes of the bunkers and castles.
The Royal Musketeers and Cavalrymen rode twelve teams on horseback and patrolled around the Governor's Mansion and surrounding neighborhoods. Outside the Governor's Mansion is a circular open area with a width of 200 meters. There is only low turf and no trees or bushes here, which ensures that no bunker can be used as long as anyone approaches, and it is directly exposed to the guns of the defenders.
At this time, Major Reed had retreated into the Governor's Mansion. Facing the closed gate and the two guards standing guard, General Priestre and Speaker Peters could not understand the new Governor Marcelus' attitude towards the current situation.
The general and the Speaker fought openly and secretly in Saroyang, but they were also familiar with each other.
Admiral Priestre, who was sixty years old and had a little fat body, said: "I have heard that Marquis Whitehead, as a cabinet minister, is trusted by His Majesty. Everyone thinks that he will soon become Prime Minister of the Cabinet and become the most powerful person in the empire...
Why did he choose to be the governor of Marcelus? Don’t he know... what happened to the previous governors?
He obviously has a better path to promotion."
Speaker Peters looked younger and more capable than the older general. He wore a dovetail gentleman's uniform, his completely white hair was woven with hair gel, and his handsome appearance, and his green eyes added a unique charm to him.
The Speaker held the cane, and the top of the cane was hung with his newly removed top hat.
He flapped his hat and just got a little dust stuck to his mouth, and seemed to say to himself: "Maybe... he feels that the power of the cabinet prime minister is not strong enough."
"Sir, please pay attention to your words."
Admiral Priestre knew what the Speaker meant.
The power of the cabinet prime minister is not great enough, no matter how big it is, what is it!
How many Governor Marcelus lost his head because of this sentence? Now, the entire Florminke Empire is probably the speaker, who wishes Marquis Whitehead to die sooner.
If the marquis is executed by the imperial emperor's suspicion...
Who dares to come to Marcelus to pick up this brazier?
Speaker Peters expressed his indifferent expression about the general's warning, saying, "What do you say he is for... Empire?"
Or for me?
I am the Speaker of the Marcelus Parliament, and there is nothing except this mouth. When the people get tired of me and don’t vote for me, I will step down. At that time, I was nothing... General, do you think I am a threat to the empire?
Governor Marcelus is different. He holds the military power of the Empire in Marcelus.
What do you think the Marquis of Whitehead rejected our visit?”
The Speaker's words made the General think, and he asked, "What does it mean?"
"He is the governor, I am the Speaker. We two are on the same level. I visited, but he did not see me. The expression means that he was disagreeing with me, and even full of hostility... This is for His Majesty to show His Majesty. Only by shaping me into a threat to empire, His Majesty cannot suspect him, nor can he touch him."
The general did not express his opinion, and he asked again: "What does it mean if the Marquis doesn't see me?"
"The Marquis is the governor, you are the commander of the Azure Corps and his subordinate. He does not see you, but is using you to release his influence in the imperial garrison and suppress your prestige.
Commander of the Imperial Blue Corps, General of the Imperial Army, you are very prestigious in the Marcelese garrison. Before the Marquis of Whitehead was officially appointed as the governor, he dared to let you face a closed door panel. What do you let other commanders of the corps look at? What do your subordinates look at?
The Marquis wanted military power and absolute command over the imperial garrison.
Admiral, our governor... is not simple."
At this time, General Priestre sneered: "Sir Speaker, am I provoking my relationship with the Governor? That disappoints you. The Blue Corps is the Ninth Musketeer Cavalry Regiment of the Empire, and the whole Corps is loyal to the Empire.
Since the Marquis of Whitehead is Governor General of Marcelus appointed by His Majesty, he has command over the Azure Corps.
I will obey the orders of the Governor, because the Governor's power is given by His Majesty.
And you... don't be so innocent.
What happened to the demonstration teams that attacked my Blue Corps? Don’t bully me as old as I am, I can’t tell you if I see it…
This demonstration is organized by your parliament.
What do you want to do?”
Speaker Peters didn't know what he said, and some of the generals listened to him. Speaking of today's demonstration, he explained with a smile: "Admiral, Marcelus is a legal society, and he should pay attention to evidence whenever he says. This demonstration is because you have too many soldiers entering the city of Saroyang.
You block the roads and surround the Church of the Great, which seriously affects the travel, work and rest of the citizens. There is no way for the believers of the God of Light to go to the church to pay tribute to the light of God and cannot obtain holy water.
Do you know how many complaint letters I have received in the past few days, including the crimes of soldiers from the Azure Corps disturbing the people and attacking the citizens."
The Admiral said: "The Cathedral of Azure has heavy weapons beyond the regulations. As a garrison guarding the city of Saroyang, the Azure Corps has the responsibility to protect the city. Since I have discovered these illegal weapons, I must search the Church of Zhishan...
If something happens, the Azure Corps is sorry for the honor the empire has given us.”
The Speaker smiled helplessly and said, "We all know that there are illegal weapons in the Azure Cathedral... But if the Azure Corps checks weapons, can you solve the problem by sending so many soldiers to surround the church?
This is related to the majesty of the Supreme Church. Did Bishop Roland dare to surrender during a military confrontation and let the imperial soldiers rush into the church and search it wantonly?
In this case, someone must take a step back.
I think if the Azure Corps can take advantage of the opportunity of public demonstrations and take the initiative to back off, the Azure Cathedral will definitely be willing to cooperate."
The Speaker's words resonated in the heart of General Priestre.
During these days, the Blue Corps is also in a difficult situation.
Zhishan Church has heavy weapons that exceed the regulations. If the Azure Corps discovers, they have to investigate. If they don’t investigate, they will be dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. If something happens again, the empire will pursue it and they will definitely cause trouble for the Azure Corps first.
Therefore, the Azure Corps can only surround the Zhishan Church, without advancing or retreating, without seeking merits but without seeking no mistakes.
