It took half a month for the powerful "Black Room" spies to figure out who "Jack the Ripper" was, and a month later they roughly figured out the motive for his murder. Looking at the pile of red and black marks on the edges,
Report, Richelieu's head almost exploded.
A Huguenot, a former figurehead at the National Academy of Magic, and a member of the Knights of the Golden Fleece—Gulinda Nome's various labels and the wide connections behind her are enough to make her case a trial of the century, and further
It evolved into a reflection and exploration of human nature, morality, and law. Bishop Richelieu's achievements in maintaining stability will also suffer a heavy blow due to the exposure of the causes and consequences of Gurinda Nome's transformation into "Jack the Ripper."
This mad woman must be found before she is revealed to the public, and then buried in darkness.
Richelieu thought so, as did the company and Li Lin, and the church, which wanted to avoid scandal exposure that would affect the crown prince's succession, had the same idea.
So, around a schizophrenic woman, a group of men started a life-and-death battle.[
In this triangular cat-and-mouse game, the company and the Black Room were able to successfully reach a non-aggression agreement. In addition to being displeased with the church, a very important reason was that both Richelieu and Li Lin felt that this incident was an opportunity.
Promoting the negotiations they had prepared for a long time. Things went as they expected, the mission "Jack Must Die" was successfully completed, and both parties received the reward they both wanted - "Political Compromise Negotiations".
Although struggle is normal in the political world, it is more about compromise. However, when and how to compromise are very particular.
Even though Comrade Khrushchev, the corn of the nuclear tsar, mass-produced mushrooms and intercontinental kicks like a sausage, his ultimate goal was to successfully reach a disarmament agreement with the Evil Emperor, so that he could
The country's energy and resources are directed towards the rapid maintenance of the national economy.
It is a pity that the comrade who took over the medal control failed to understand this good intention. At one time, he even planned to shoot a mushroom to kill a certain rabbit who had hooked up with imperialism. The next comrade of the map leader complied with the imperialism with integrity.
Finally defeated the huge red empire.
Companies that reveal the tip of the power iceberg;
The royal government is worried about a lot of shit at home and abroad;
Both sides desire a compromise that is in their own interests and acceptable to the other party, so that they can continue to maintain the symbiotic relationship and be more fully prepared to solve the other party's problem.
"You went a little too far in Guernica and Assograna."
Richelieu stroked his forehead. The Castilian envoy who was shouting "Heavenly Punishment" and preparing to launch an explosive technique seemed to appear in front of his eyes, as well as a piece of charcoal thrown on the desk - it was said to be from Ger.
A child's arm dug out of the ruins of Guernica; a sketch of a bridge with a black forest of corpses on the bridge - groups of Guernica citizens crowded on the bridge, being raped in a standing position
Burned to death.
Archbishop Li does not feel any guilt about this. Let alone hundreds of thousands of Castilians, even if millions or tens of millions of Castilians die, it will not make his steel-like heart beat more.
Let's take a look. As an excellent politician, Richelieu expressed no pressure on what happened in Guernica and Assograna, and to some extent he liked it.
If it were really Charlemagne's army that accomplished this "epic feat", the bishop would probably really laugh out loud.
Richelieu was very clear about the current situation of Charlemagne's army. This kind of magic stroke could not be accomplished by Charlemagne's army, which had been suffering for a long time, and the Titans who were chasing ducks. Considering the abnormality in railway operation, who was behind it?
It really couldn't be more clear.
"I deeply regret this. The residents of Guernica and Assograna are unfortunate. But it is precisely because of their sacrifices that Charlemagne has the opportunity to get rid of the fetters of faith and become the only force that dominates the human camp.
, get rid of the inherent backward thinking of a country and a nation, and then lead all mankind to build a paradise of kings and move towards a glorious co-prosperity circle for mankind."
He said it in one breath without any hesitation. Faced with this shameless explanation, Richelieu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
In fact, Li Lin still had some reservations. He had not shown that Comrade Molotov could describe burning as bread. He only quoted the usual shameful tone of a certain island country.
When formulating the Stardust Operation, Li Lin and the General Staff had no hope of being able to completely hide it from Charlemagne. The mobilization of troops and supplies, bombings and rapid breakthroughs would always arouse suspicion, so all confidentiality measures focused on how to prevent
It was formulated through the leakage of technical weapons and tactics. The final goal of the Stardust Operation was to promote a temporary compromise with Charlemagne.
On the surface, the royal government and the company have a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship. In fact, the conflicts between the two sides have become almost intense, as evidenced by the endless anti-company coup plots. Although the Stasi has always been relied on to suppress the conspirators,
It's quite effective, but judging from the overall situation, it's already close to the limit.
In this case, through the platform of Castile, an unprecedented military power that can bring devastating results in a very short time was demonstrated, which made Charlemagne understand that "if we go to full-scale war with the company, even if we win, the country will be destroyed."
"Once it happens", we will throw in the towel, then strive for a period of peace through political compromise, and continue to complete preparations for all-out war.
As for transforming this country into a militaristic state, that is a secondary strategic goal.
"As the main supplier to the Kingdom's army, the performance and quality of your company's products are obvious to all, but His Majesty needs warriors loyal to the Crown and country to master these weapons."[
With the mission of "getting taxes and troops out of the hands of your dangerous and independent nobles, returning them to the king, and handing them over to conscientious government officials." The cardinal directly gave the bottom line. He must not accept a
After reading the reports about Guernica and Asograna, the idea of dismantling the company's private army became even stronger.
"The royal government will fund the construction of a number of state-owned military factories and hopes that the company will provide technical support."
The Prime Minister added slowly, his eyes fixed on Li Lin.
"The technology transfer of military Zeppelins, armored trains, and combustion can be carried out at any time, but it must be provided by our company's technical personnel for on-site guidance. Other infantry weapons, especially firearms, will continue to be produced by the company."
Li Lin knew Richelieu's price tag very well, and he was prepared for it.
It is absolutely impossible to provide weapons above the Titans' preparedness level to potential opponents, and it is even less possible to let go of the technology monopoly. The symbolic provision of technical information on three "advanced equipment" is more to show sincerity than to truly
The military trade. Before the state-owned arsenal is completed and operated smoothly, it will also take considerable time to achieve large-scale production of these equipment.
Richelieu was not surprised by such a response. With Li Lin's shrewdness, it was impossible to agree to all those requests. As long as he was willing to show his attitude, he would basically have an explanation.
Compared with unfamiliar industrial and technical issues, where the private military with super combat effectiveness will go is more worthy of attention and has more practical significance. It is impossible to fool the past, but it is even more unrealistic to expect Li Lin to give up his own security.
After about a quarter of an hour of silence, the company president made a suggestion, and Archbishop Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
