Chapter 1811 People ran away

Under the arrangement of his father, the army officer quietly left the house.

The old man is a nobleman, a minor nobleman, otherwise his son would not be just a low-level military officer.

Ever since the Prime Minister abolished the privileges of the nobility, the life of the nobility has become more and more difficult!
He doesn't learn anything, but learns the Federation!

In the past, relying on the privileges in their hands, noble gentlemen, no matter how big or small, could live comfortably.

Some are businessmen who rely on them, even if they do nothing, they will have a considerable income every year!

In the past in Gefra, the tax of the nobility was not only low, but the sale of some important materials was also a privilege of the nobility. Ordinary people were not even allowed to buy large quantities of food!
But now, everything is a thing of the past!
The old man had his wisdom, and while he put on the uniform of an army officer and his wide-brimmed hat, he kept walking up and down the window.

The lights in the room made his shadow constantly cast on the windows. It may not be so conspicuous inside the house, but outside the house, everyone can clearly see the shadow walking back and forth!
He looked grumpy at times, edgy at other times, and even took off his hat, scratched his hair, and put it back on!

In a telephone booth across the road, an Army officer was speaking to the Secretary of State for the Army, "Yes, he's still in the house..."

"Yes, I see, I promise he won't leave and won't let anyone else in!"

"...Yes, I know, when necessary..."

"Goodbye, sir!"

The officer hung up the phone, smoked a cigarette, got out of the phone booth, got into a car on the side of the road, and ordered the soldiers to fence off the house.

The meaning of the Minister of War is obvious, and he will not give up hope until the end.

But if in the end, he had to choose who to sacrifice, then the army officer who made a mistake had better commit suicide!

His suicide can be exchanged for the unity of the army!

The army officer didn't care about other people's probing eyes at all. He just wanted to let everyone know that they were guarding here and would not let people in or out.

Soon the navy also sent more people, and they also guarded the door, preventing people from entering or coming out...

The admiral and the Lord of the Admiralty appeared outside the prime minister's office at dawn, and they did not stand together.

Until now, the generals of the navy are not very willing to get together with the big nobles!

They knew very well that once they accepted the "goodwill" of the Lord of the Admiralty, their position would change, and people would see them as members of the great aristocracy headed by the Lord of the Admiralty.

They don't like it very much, and they are not very used to it.

In the past they were loyal to the royal family, now they are loyal to the empire!
The Prime Minister also came very early. As soon as he arrived, he had a closed-door meeting with the navy generals. The Secretary of the Navy wanted to go in, but was refused.

After more than half an hour of intense discussions on the navy side, they finally reached a consensus with the prime minister on how to deal with the army officer.

The army officer will surrender, and the court will sentence him to hang, but he will pay a large sum of money to compensate the family of the deceased, and obtain the forgiveness of the family of the deceased.

Thus reducing the hanging to 30 years in prison, and limiting the commutation!
First of all, there is an attitude, surrender, and the death penalty, which can already meet the demands of the navy as a whole.

Secondly, it was not the interference of the prime minister, not the interference of the minister of war, or the interference of any great nobleman, that finally turned things around.

It was the parents of the Minister of War who took a huge amount of compensation to ask for forgiveness from the family of the deceased. Whether they cried or acted pitifully, people would be soft-hearted towards the elderly.

Even if someone in the navy is dissatisfied with this solution, they will not take their grievances on the army, but will feel that the families of the dead sailors are mercenary!

This kind of dissatisfaction will soon dissipate. After all, they are ordinary people. When faced with such a large sum of money, it is difficult for anyone to stick to the original choice!

The admirals thought it was a good idea, and everyone got what they wanted.

The admirals left office, relieved by the Prime Minister's promise.

Although the prime minister overthrew the royal family, he has been committed to the reform of the empire and is a respectable person, regardless of whether the direction and method of his change are appropriate or not!
The Minister of the Army wanted to ask for some details of what they were talking about, but the admirals were reluctant to talk to him.

There are deep contradictions between the navy group of nobles and the old-fashioned nobles. When the risk of going to sea is the greatest, none of the big nobles are willing to leave the island.

When the navigation technology is relatively mature and all kinds of nautical charts are clear, the great nobles will try to seize the victory of the great voyage.

There were also some conflicts and contradictions between the two sides at that time, and the relationship has always been at a freezing point and has continued until now.

The Prime Minister didn't know what was going on outside, so he called the Minister of War directly and explained the solution in detail.

After listening to it, the Secretary of the Navy felt that there was no problem. It seemed that he was saying to limit commutation of sentences, but he didn't say to limit going out to see a doctor!
When he's in jail for a year or two and people's attention isn't here, going to the doctor is a perfectly fitting excuse.

He called and asked his subordinates to take the person to surrender, and then considered how much support he could get from it.

But less than half an hour later, his expression lost its elasticity and became stiff amidst the rapid ringing of the phone!

The fuck is gone!
"Where did he go?" The Minister of War suppressed his dissatisfaction, "You said you saw him in the house with your own eyes, and sent people to seal off the surroundings of the house. Now tell me, where is he?"

The officer in charge of this matter also looked blank. Although he slept from last night to morning, none of the other soldiers slept.

They stayed at their posts all night, staring at the three doors of the house. Up to now, only the maid has come out.

But went back soon!
He can guarantee that no one has slipped away from under his nose, but the problem is, people just disappear.

He has already searched the house and every room, but he still hasn't seen anyone. It would be pointless to argue at this moment!
He can only apologize for his incompetence!
"Sorry, sir..."

The Minister of War was very angry because he had assured the Prime Minister last night that the army officer was under control!
Now that there are no people, what will the prime minister think, what will the navy think?
They wouldn't think it was done by the people down there, because the people down there weren't that brave, it must have been done by the fucking Secretary of War!

His purpose is to use this incident to win over the army and at the same time fight against the naval forces!
He feels terrible!

"Send someone to look for me. You said you saw him go back with your own eyes. It has been less than twelve hours since last night. Even if he drives, he can't drive far. Find him for me!"

The prime minister waited until ten o'clock, but he did not wait for the news that the army officer had surrendered. He called several places before finding the minister of the army.

"I thought we were talking about him going to surrender this morning!"

He didn't blame the Minister of War for not fulfilling his promise at the beginning, but reminded the other party in a slightly tactful, but definitely not weak way, that it's time for the fuck to surrender!
After searching for more than an hour, no one was found, and the Minister of War did not hold out any hope.

This morning, two cruise ships and one cargo ship have already gone to sea. If he hides on this, he basically doesn't think about recovering it.

With the end of the Nagalil War, the world's air routes have resumed a lot.

The only way for the Secretary of the Navy now is to tell the truth.

The earlier it is said, the easier it is to deal with the business.

After the Prime Minister listened to the words of the Secretary of the Army, he sighed softly, "I never thought of someone who deliberately compromised the Army in order to get the support of the Navy."

"Everything is done in accordance with the laws and regulations!"

"He killed someone, and he killed an imperial soldier. He must be tried, and we have also negotiated a condition that he will not be sentenced to death."

"If you still think I'm embarrassing you or him, you don't have to. I never thought of embarrassing anyone!"

"Can he turn himself in before two o'clock in the afternoon?"

The Prime Minister does not believe the War Secretary's claims, he thinks they are just rhetoric.

His tone last night did not look like the officer would run away at all. Now that the result of the negotiation has come down, he said that the man is missing. In the prime minister's heart, he still has opinions on the result of his handling.

The Minister of War didn't know what to say, "How about compensating them first?"

The Prime Minister refused calmly, "If someone killed your son and gave you a sum of money, telling you to forget it, would you agree?"

The Minister of War had nothing to say, and the Prime Minister still felt that he was covering up something. He had no other choice but to say yes.

Fortunately, this matter is not without any chance of turning around. Since people can't die, they can be replaced by others.

If you really can't find anyone, arrange someone to take the place of the crime, get it out after a while, and give him a sum of money, it shouldn't be a problem.

The news that the man was lost was not concealed, or the Minister of War did not consider that there would be other twists and turns. He did not cover up or conceal it.

Naturally, the Secretary of the Navy also knew about this. The army was hunting the naval officer everywhere, and he immediately realized that he had escaped.

This is a good thing for him, people who run away are worth more than him staying!
At 37:[-] noon, an army officer came to the police station and surrendered, claiming that he accidentally shot and killed a navy soldier during a gang fight last night.

The news was quickly fed back to the cabinet, the army, and the navy. Unlike the army's silence, the navy was very excited!

The simplest truth is that the murderer pays with his life, no matter what identity or background that person is.

Most of the navy believed that this was the best solution, but at this moment, someone suddenly spread a message—that army officer was not the real murderer last night!

The real murderer has absconded, and now the murderer who turned himself in is just a scapegoat for an impostor!
The navy exploded in an instant!
