Chapter 461 Who Can Solve This Trouble?

The Minister of Construction, who had just enjoyed the delicious food, was not happy at all at this moment. The satisfaction brought by the delicious food was less than one ten-thousandth of the harm this phone call had done to him!

His face was livid, but when he opened his mouth, his voice, his tone, revealed a kind of joy, "It's great, it's good that you're fine. Many people are looking for you now. Better not show up!"

"Of course, if you trust me, you can tell me your address, and I can send you something to help you through this difficult time."

The laughter from the earpiece was harsh, "Help me to hell?"

The Minister of Construction's expression gradually softened. Some things are like this. After you have been in an unhappy mood for a while, you can face the unpleasant thing calmly.

His tone also became a little more plain, "If you don't trust me, then there is no need to call me at all, you know, I can find you in less than half an hour." He gently found Pushed a button and pressed it.

Immediately after he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and a pen, "Listen, Preton, things are not as bad as you imagined, and I and others have been trying to find ways to excuse you."

"The war with the Federation..." At this time, the door of the study room opened quietly, and the housekeeper stood outside the door.

Pressing a button is actually a reminder to the butler to come to his study.

As the minister of construction, he often met with many imperial nobles and privileged classes.

Some of these meetings are pleasant, but some are not.

When encountering these unpleasant meetings, the best solution is for the "ignorant" housekeeper to urge them to end the meeting as soon as possible. The Minister of Construction can ask the housekeeper to send the other party out without breaking the face, instead of letting the other party go go out.

At this moment, he beckoned to the housekeeper, handed over the note he just wrote, told the other party the importance of the contents of the note with his eyes and his fingers, and then urged him to do it as soon as possible.

The butler left with a note, but the call never stopped.

"...In fact, whether it is the Federation or the Empire, the conflict between us will definitely break out, but it will be earlier or later."

"Lions may not reject flies, but they will definitely reject wild dogs. The federation's behavior is like an annoying wild dog. You just happened to play a role in promoting it during this time period."

"Even without you, we will still start a local war for two or three years at most, so you don't need to worry about His Majesty taking his anger out on you."

"Forgive me for what I'm going to say next may make you feel uncomfortable, Pretton, you always think you are great, you are a 'Mr. Key', you imagine yourself too great, we don't care about you at all !"

"His Majesty the Emperor doesn't even know your name, he doesn't have the time and energy to remember the name of an insignificant person in his mind, do you understand what I mean?"

"You are just a small person, you think too much of yourself!"

The Minister of Construction has belittled Preton very much. The more he belittles Preton now, the more he can create an illusion for the other party, as if...he is really not as important as he imagined, even if he appears in people In front of him, no one will do anything to him.

If this kind of thing is said to ordinary people, there is no problem, but the guy opposite is Preton. Almost half of the wealth he gets from Nagalil every year goes into the pockets of the imperial ministers, and even Sometimes this figure will exceed half of his income.

Not everyone is a gentleman, they take what you give and thank you for these benefits.

Some people will ask you for it directly, and it will be a big number as soon as they open their mouths.

For His Majesty the Emperor, Preton is indeed just a small person, but the ministers still dare not let him appear casually, in case he reveals the transactions with the ministers over the years, and only a few people If you choose to say your name, something will happen and people will die.

Nipping danger in the bud, are these big figures in the empire more than familiar with it?
"The whole world is looking for me as a small person, and it seems that I am really just a small person!", Pretton's self-deprecating made the Minister of Construction have a bad guess. He was too calm, as if he had nothing to do. Afraid.

He was even able to laugh on the phone and keep talking to himself.

"Aren't you in the empire?!", he suddenly asked.

Preton laughed and replied, "Of course, are you disappointed? Of course I'm not in the Empire, you have to thank me that I didn't say your name on the phone..."

The Minister of Construction's first reaction would be to smash the damn phone on the phone base, and the communication between Gefla and the outside is through submarine cables.

From the current point of view, this thing is a bit... unbelievable, but it's not that unbelievable.

Gafra is an island country, but it is not completely separated from the continental shelf and hangs alone on the ocean. Its bottom is connected with the continental shelf and is a whole.

This also makes the sea water depth in this part not so deep, and the engineering submarine can easily touch the bottom, which also provides the necessary environment and convenience for laying cables.

There is such a communication cable under the sea between Gefra and the nearest land. Calls from outside the island will first enter the transfer station, and the manpower will be responsible for transferring to the telegraph office of each city.

Then the telegraph office transfers to the local telephone account. During this process, the relay operator will make necessary recordings of the calls, so that the content of a certain call can be found at any time.

Manually transferred calls often have a manual prompt after the recipient answers, such as "You have a call request from a foreign country/a certain country, do you need to connect it" and the like.

Due to technical reasons at this stage, this ultra-long-distance long-distance call requires multiple transfer stations to provide termination services to ensure that the call can be carried out. Therefore, long-distance calls are charged in both directions, and the charge price is not cheap.

Most people don't even have the initiative to call international long-distance calls, because they don't have enough financial resources to connect and listen to international long-distance calls!
There was no notification before the call was answered, which is why the Minister of Construction mistakenly believed that Preton was in the country.

Domestic calls don't record, so he dares to say anything, but he regrets it now, the bastard Pretton made a trap for him, and he jumped into it so simply.

The silence of more than ten seconds allowed the Minister of Construction to calm down from the two short-term emotions of rage and panic. No matter how Preton did this, as long as he didn't call out his name, then the problem would be fine. big.

"Where are you now?" He asked another question when the call was first connected.

Preton didn't hide anything, "I'm in a very safe place, and there are many people staring at me. If I just make a misleading move, they will beat me!"

"It's not funny...", the Minister of Construction thought he was joking, but then he understood, "Wait, you were arrested, who arrested you?"

Before Pretton answered, the Minister of Construction had a guess, and soon the guess became a reality.

"federal!"

"So you don't have to worry too much that I will betray you, and you, you are worth more than me, understand?" At this time, Preton, who was under strict supervision, had an inexplicable feeling of gloating.

As long as he said the other party's name on the phone, it would cause a lot of trouble for the other party. He never thought that such a thing would happen before. The status of the two parties has changed, and he is not the one who is afraid now!

"What do you want?" The construction minister's scalp was a little numb. It was not much better to fall into the hands of the Federation than to fall into the hands of the emperor. Now he began to consider whether it would be better to surrender to the emperor.

"No matter what you want, I must first remind you that I will not betray Gafla, nor will I betray His Majesty the Emperor!"

……

More than half an hour later, the butler came to the study of the minister of construction with a letter. He put the envelope on the table, then lowered his head slightly and said, "We found three phones in that house, among them Both have been remodeled."

"The call was made to one of them first, and then transferred to here. When we went, there was no one in the room, and there were no clues left."

"I learned from the real estate agent that the house has been vacant for a long time..."

After listening, the minister of construction waved his hand and told the housekeeper to leave. He stared at the letter for a long time before picking it up and cutting it open with a letter knife.

There was no sealing wax, no fragrance, and he took out the letter paper from it. There was no gilding pattern, and there was no family crest. A pariah is a pariah!

He unfolded the letter, and after reading it, his expression was a little weird, because to some extent, what Preyton needed was also what the Empire needed. In other words, he came to solve the troubles for the Empire? !
For several days in a row, the sky over the capital of the empire seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. The situation in the Ameria region was still unclear. The empire had already reinforced a lot of troops and rushed to Ameria to carry out military operations.

But these unsatisfactory armies seemed to be fighting against the elite imperial army. Not only did they have no significant results, but they suffered heavy casualties.

Some celebrities who voluntarily surrendered in the Ameria region also expressed their dissatisfaction with the current situation to the Governor and His Majesty the Emperor in various ways.

Once the empire is unable to extinguish these endless resistance organizations in a short period of time, and the situation deteriorates, there may be turmoil in the entire region, and even affect the sovereignty of the empire.

After all, no one wants to live under such a high-pressure reign of terror every day, and maintaining this situation will only make more people join the resistance organization.

On a new day, at the ruler's hall, the emperor asked again, "Who can solve this trouble?"
