Magic Underachiever
Chapter 145 Governor
Thinking that her father was here for these ancient heroes, Anne immediately stopped her and said: "Father, the situation in Saroyan is already under my control, and I did not spend the money carelessly. I promise, after tonight... Everything will get better.
Please don't investigate those people on the Elysée Avenue, they... they are my friends. "
"Your friends, the Whitehead family doesn't need friends. There are only two kinds of people in this world for us: those who can be used and those who cannot be used. Which kind are they?"
Annie insisted: "They are my friends, please leave this matter to me... and I will give you a satisfactory answer to Saroyan's question.
You can take the return train back to the imperial capital now. Your Majesty needs you more than Saroyan. "
Marquis Whitehead turned to look at Anne, trying to see what she was thinking from her eyes. After a long time, he said: "Okay... you are the daughter I have trained since childhood. Until now, your performance has always been Very good, I know you have your reasons for doing these things. Just like you suddenly wanted to get engaged to Brown of the Jennings family but I was not allowed to interfere, so I agreed to it.
I believe in you...everything you do is for the empire and the family. "
Anne breathed a sigh of relief and said to Marquis Whitehead: "Then please ask father to return to the carriage and follow the returning military column."
Anne doesn't want the Marquis to know about the ancient heroes. He is too conceited... Facing Master Liang, he will mess things up.
Hearing that his daughter asked him to leave Saroyan again, the Marquis suddenly said sternly: "You don't need to teach me what I do. I came to Saroyan not because of you... but because I am the Masai appointed by His Majesty himself. Governor Les."
Annie was stunned for a moment, unable to believe what she heard.
According to the Treaty of Marcellus, the empire could set up a governor's palace in Marcellus, and the governor of Marcellus commanded all the empire's garrisons in Marcellus.
Due to the existence of the Desert of Death, the Marcellus garrison has its own system, and the power of the governor will become extremely great, and he can be said to be a real frontier official. If the governor is loyal to the empire, he can greatly restrict Parliament from strengthening the empire's control over Marcellus. But if the governor once colludes with the Parliament, or has a counter-intention, as long as the Dosan Railway is cut off, the empire will completely lose contact with Marcellus.
Therefore, the emperor has always been very cautious in appointing Governor Marcellus. For a long time, he would rather not appoint a governor than to bury this hidden danger.
Without the Governor of Marcellus, there is no need to worry about the Governor's rebellion, but without restraint, the Congress of Marcellus has gradually formed an unstoppable trend.
The situation in Marcellus was urgent, and the emperor realized that the governor of Marcellus should no longer remain vacant, so he appointed his confidant Marquis Whitehead as governor of Marcellus to take charge of the provincial military to suppress the expansion of the parliament.
This should have been the highest honor of the Whitehead family, but Anne couldn't help but worry about the fate of the family.
Governor Marcellus is not that easy to be.
The biggest threat to Marquis Whitehead at this time is not the ambitious Parliament, but the emperor behind him. None of the previous governors of Marcellus met a happy death. They were all the emperor's most trusted cabinet ministers when they took office as governors, and in the end they were all guillotined by the emperor.
There is no other reason than the emperor's daily suspicion. After the suspicion accumulates to a certain level, just a small rumor can kill Governor Marcellus.
Not to mention these extraordinary times.
When Marquis Whitehead entered the Governor's Palace and officially announced his inauguration as Governor of Marcellus, rumors that the Marquis was going to rebel would immediately appear in the ears of the emperor.
How long can the emperor trust his father amid suspicions and rumors?
Anne didn't know.
She said to the Marquis: "Why don't you refuse this appointment? I am the director of the Special Security Bureau and you are the Governor of Marcellus. This is simply digging your own grave!"
Marquis Whitehead had no worries about the future: "Because Governor Marcellus is needed at this time. It is precisely because the empire left this position vacant that the current situation was caused. If you want to get Marcellus back on track, you must put the empire back on track." The power is concentrated here.
No one but I dares to serve as Governor of Marcellus during this sensitive period.
Your Majesty knows the consequences of being suspicious of Governor Marcellus at this time. Your Majesty will trust me. Once the matters here are settled, I will immediately resign as governor and return to the empire.
Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet is my place. "
Although the Marquis said it easily, Anne was still worried. She said, "Then I will resign as the director of the Special Security Bureau. Deputy Director Kemir can manage the security bureau."
"No!" said the Marquis: "You continue to be your director and do what you should do. If Kemir wants to be the director, he must first clean up the insiders in the Security Bureau, otherwise... he will stay in the position of deputy director. To death!"
There were problems within the Special Security Bureau, and there seemed to be problems within the Imperial Garrison. These two are the main forces used by the Governor of Marcellus to deal with the Marcellus issue, and neither of them can be fully trusted now. No matter how deep the Marquis's palace is, he can't help but show his anger.
Now that Marquis Whitehead is determined to be the Governor of Marcellus, Anne knows that there is no way to stop him. We can only hope that the Marcellus issue will be dealt with before the emperor still trusts the marquis, and then he can resign and return to the imperial capital.
That is the only way to save your life.
"Yes, father... No, Governor." Anne saluted Marquis Whitehead, and then said: "I will escort you to the Governor's Mansion."
"No, you still have your things to do. The Royal Musketeers are here to protect me..." The Marquis refused Anne's escort and said: "I will hold a banquet at the Governor's Mansion in the evening, and I will invite all the important people in Saroyang to the banquet. You bring your fiancé Brown Jennings to let me see him.
Tell him that his brother Reed Jennings is also here this time."
"Yes, Governor, I will take Brown to the banquet."
When the first division of the Royal Musketeers was preparing to enter the Saroyang defense zone, a large-scale demonstration was erupting in Saroyang.
The angry "citizens" held up banners and shouted slogans to surround the troops of the Azure Corps that blocked the Church of the Good. They shouted loud abuses, pushed the soldiers, and tried to attack the defense line set up by the Imperial Army.
Some people even hid in the crowd and threw stones at the imperial soldiers, trying to provoke the soldiers to shoot at the demonstrators and cause greater chaos.
Although the weapons transfer plan formulated by the parliament encountered great setbacks at the beginning, after the compensation of money, they still organized a powerful demonstration team.
The "people" angered the imperial army step by step, and bloodshed could break out at any time. At the same time, the parliament repeatedly put pressure on the Azure Corps. On the one hand, they used freedom of speech as an excuse to prevent the Azure Corps from counterattacking, and on the other hand, they quietly hinted that the Azure Corps should withdraw from the city to prevent the Saroyang riots.
There was chaos outside the Azure Cathedral, and all the troops of the church were nervously guarding the outside to prevent the situation from getting out of control and the church from being attacked.
In the arsenal under the Azure Cathedral, there was silence. Da Liang looked at the weapons and ammunition piled up like a hill, and his face was full of smiles.
