King Snake General of Pirates

Chapter 22 Ovastalang’s method

Among the three, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces was a middle-aged man full of domineering aura. This commander-in-chief who led troops in battles all year round did not bother to make any grandiose performances. He even did not want to get involved in the struggle between these civil servants.

In the morning, the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Finance came to his residence with a group of civil servants and informed him that Captain Valentine had gone to find Mansgold early in the morning, and then Mansgold rushed into the palace in a hurry. , guessing that something big happened, asked Luton to go into the palace to meet the king.

Luton refused at first, but the cunning Ovastarang fabricated the fact that the navy wanted to interfere with the kingdom's military deployment, which aroused Luton's taboo, so they came to the palace together.

Now that he heard what Mansgold said and that the navy wanted to lead soldiers into the kingdom to capture pirates, he felt that what Ovastaron said was right, so he just stood there without thinking too much. Things were happening, and his face was full of suppressed anger.

His angry expression was not concealed at all, and King Andrag found it easily, and asked him: "Luton, what's wrong with you so angry?"

Luton, a military attaché, was not as lively as the civil servants. When he heard Andrag's question, he did not hide his thoughts at all and replied:

"Your Majesty, I think the demands of these navy are simply arrogant. Just to capture a few pirates, they mobilized so many troops, and even led troops into the royal city. Hum! What do the three armies of our kingdom mean? This is not bullying anyone in our army. Good soldier, he is insulting me, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and the entire kingdom!" Luton shouted angrily.

The last few words were spoken in a loud voice, almost shouted out loud. His voice was already strong, and the others were standing very close to him, so to others it sounded like thunder rolling in the sky, muffled in their ears. It's like the edge exploded.

Several ministers could not help but squint their eyes and cover their ears. They were very unhappy with Lu Dun's rude behavior, but they did not dare to say anything to him due to his power.

Andrage heard Luton's angry words and felt that they made sense.

No matter which country joins the alliance, the navy cannot interfere in its internal affairs. This is an agreement that has not been broken for hundreds of years. According to the requirements of the navy, entering the city just to capture pirates may seem like no interference, but it will inevitably happen when the operation is carried out. Doing something inconsistent with the kingdom's decree.

And there are countless such decrees, large and small, that maintain order in the entire kingdom. It is unrealistic to say that we will not intervene 100% of the time.

Andrage still held on to his original idea and just let the kingdom's own army handle it. However, the Minister of Justice's status in the kingdom was not low. He was an experienced minister who had assisted two kings, so he could not completely ignore what he said.

Just when he was in trouble again, Interior Minister Ovastalang's eyes lit up, he bowed and came to Andrag with a bright smile.

Zhengchou couldn't find any reason to break the key to this problem, but he didn't expect Luden, a reckless man, to jump out on his own initiative. Ovastalang was very happy in his heart, but it was not as exaggerated as the smile on his face. It was just for Ann. Drago saw it.

Seeing him like this, Andrage guessed that he must have thought of a good idea, so he immediately asked: "Ovastalang, what do you have in mind?"

Ovastalan secretly glanced at Luden, who was frustrated, and then glanced at Justice Minister Mansgold, who was sitting on the side and looked unhappy. Said slowly:

"Your Majesty, I have thought of a solution that is not a solution."

"Don't be so pretentious at this point and speak quickly." Seeing that he was still playing riddles, Andrage urged.

The other ministers, including the angry Luton and the ugly-looking Mansgold, all looked at Ovastalang, wondering what the other party meant when he said that the method was not a method.

With everyone watching, Ovastarang did not delay, cleared his throat, straightened his back and said: "I will make the conclusion first, that is, allowing the navy to enter the royal city to arrest pirates is absolutely unacceptable. "

Finally, Ovastalang also expressed the same thoughts as Luton and Andrag.

It can be said that among all the people present, only Minister of Justice Mansgold agreed with the idea, while others opposed it for various reasons.

All the ministers were relieved when they heard Ovastalang's words. They were really afraid that the other party would say something shocking. When they heard this, the ministers who had remained silent before couldn't help but express their agreement.

Even King Andrage couldn't help but nod, but when he saw Mansgold's disappointed look, he couldn't bear to chill the old minister's heart, so he didn't make his words too absolute.

The anger on Luden's face also disappeared a little, and he stood aside with his hands behind his back, his disdain for the navy in his heart.

"Then what do you think about dealing with the pirates who broke into the city?"

Andrag glanced at Mansgold secretly, and in order to protect his face, he continued: "I heard what Mansgold said makes some sense. If the pirates are hiding in any corner of the royal city, It’s also very troublesome for us to deal with.”

Ovastalang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say."

"The reason why I feel that the navy should not be allowed to enter the royal city to capture pirates is because there are not only security forces patrolling everywhere in the royal city every day, but also regular combat troops who can suppress rebellions, and there is even a personal They can even exist as many as ten Kingdom Guards. If that pirate really dares to enter the royal city, it is absolutely impossible for him to hide for even one day among such a large and powerful army."

"Kingdom Guards? That is an army that only protects nobles. How can it be used to catch pirates." Andrag agreed with the others, but he felt that the Kingdom Guards, which only belonged to nobles, should be used to catch pirates. Thieves bring disgrace to the kingdom.

Ovastalan said noncommittally:

"Your Majesty, what I am referring to is that when the situation is urgent, it is not a bad idea to dispatch the Kingdom Guard. Not only can the civilians who are not of much use to the country but complain all day know that you value them, you can also try your best to Isn’t it the best of both worlds for the earth to show your kindness?”

"After all, we don't know the strength of those pirates yet. It is said that those who escaped from the hands of that brave major in the navy must be extraordinary."

When he heard about the prestige and benevolence that could be established in the eyes of civilians, Andrag thought it was a trivial matter. As a king, he naturally likes to be loved by his subjects.

So he nodded and said, "Well, keep talking."

At this time, all the ministers and Luton, including Mansgold, all looked at Ovastalan. Obviously, his next words were the most important thing. Except for Mansgold, everyone else felt that Bad feeling.
