broken world

On August 1, the first year of the new imperial calendar, a meeting was held in the ruling palace (former marshal's mansion), with a total of nineteen people present (Note [-]).

Imperial Emperor Reinhard von Rohenkram, two adjutants and the chief secretary who lifted the ban, Countess Marindorf, Imperial Marshal Siegfried Gilfies, three first-level generals: Aubert Stein, Mittermeier, Reoenthal, eleven generals: Valle, Murat, Kemp, Fahrenheit, Lutz, Kesla, Bidenfeldt, Mecklinger, Schuttenmey Z, Renekemp, Ajna.

"I believe you have all heard of the Chumel incident that happened some time ago. In fact, it was not until recently that the investigation into the mastermind of the assassination incident had a clue. Oberstein, please explain the results of the investigation."

The Minister of Military Affairs walked out of the queue and saluted, and said in a cold voice that was not like that of a human being:

"After investigation, the Kummel incident that occurred in Odin, the capital of the empire, and the terrorist attack that occurred at the Rodriga spaceport in the Shannai galaxy a few days ago were actually carried out by the same person, that is - arrogating to be a free planet Confederate rebels!"

All the admirals were in an uproar.

A look of displeasure flashed across the handsome brows of the young red-haired marshal, and this look could not escape the eyes of the blond lord.

Gilfies... still hates war so much.The blond lord thought: However, it will be over soon. When I hold the whole universe in my hands, the war will truly be over, Gilfies.

Next, the Minister of Military Affairs listed evidence one by one, including the investigation report of the Security Bureau, the confessions of the captured prisoners, the statements of eyewitnesses, some ordnance held by the rebels, and so on.

Among the huge amount of evidence, some of them are real, which are the clues or traces left by Rodriga terrorists, but some of them are fabricated and used to frame the mastermind of the Kummel incident.True evidence and false evidence are used alternately and appear repeatedly, reflecting the high consistency of the two events.

It can be said that Oberstein and Langcourt did put enough thought into it.

Therefore, when the entire statement was made, even Mittermeier and Rosenthal almost believed it.But among all the admirals, there is only one person who does not believe, and that is Marshal Siegfried Gilfies.

The reason for his disbelief is also very simple.

The Rodriga terrorist attack caused Mercaz and his party to be hijacked.

The assassination of Kummel ended in the failure of the assassination of Baron Kummel.

In terms of importance, the latter is obviously greater than the former.Once the Emperor of the Empire was assassinated shortly after he ascended the throne, it would be beneficial to the next military operation launched by the Free Planet Alliance.

That being the case, why are there so many loopholes and uncertainties in the overall layout and even implementation of the Kummel incident?Although it is said that when surrounding the Kummel mansion, there were armed thugs who tried to shoot Reinhard in vain, but the timing of their appearance was obviously too late.

To put it bluntly, the Kummel incident was a botched assassination plot.

Comparing the integrity of the overall planning and the effectiveness of the implementation of the Rodriga terrorist attack, we can even draw such a conclusion.

Then, make a bold guess, if you were an ally, would you use the most elite personnel to hold a first-level general of the empire hostage, or would you use it to assassinate the emperor of the empire?

The answer is obvious.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities: either the person who arranged these two incidents has a serious imbalance in judgment, or the two incidents were not done by the same person at all...

"...I will announce my response to the Kummel incident within a few days."

After the blond-haired lord announced his decision, the admirals dispersed one after another, except for the red-haired Marshal who remained in place.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, the young red-haired Imperial Marshal said, "Your Majesty Reinhardt, I have something to tell you."

"Speak, Gilfies."

The meeting dispersed, and there was still some distance before dinner time, and the admirals went to the "Sea Eagle" club in twos and threes to meet.

"It seems that another big battle is about to be fought." The young admiral with honey-colored hair said.

"It's not like you. I remember that the night His Majesty the Emperor took the throne, you still said such bold words as 'the empire will soon have a third marshal'."

"What? So you heard it all. I thought you were distracted all night."

The admiral with golden and silver demon pupils smiled, and drained the wine in his glass.

At this moment, Admiral Nethar Murat, with sand-colored hair and sand-colored eyes, came over, "I heard your Excellencies mention the word Marshal...are you referring to Marshal Gilfies?"

The Imperial Shuangbi looked at each other knowingly, and quickly changed the topic: "Is there anything for Marshal Gilfies? Admiral Murat."

Admiral Murat scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's a lot of hearsay, but it's an indisputable fact that the Marshal often goes to No. 24, Ken Street."

"No. 24, Ken Street?" It was the Gale Wolf who asked the question.

"Well, it's the private residence of Admiral Mercaz, the former first-rank general of the Imperial Army."

"But, isn't Merkaz not there? Wait, you're saying that..."

"It is rumored that the marshal rescued the beautiful Miss Mercaz before the battle of Lipshouddt."

"So then..."

Admiral Jinyin Yaotong listened silently to the gossip between the two men, his strange eyes flickered.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Siegfried Gilfies came out of the ruling palace.

He planned to go back to the officer's dormitory for dinner, but before returning to the officer's dormitory, he habitually turned to No. 24 Kenn Street.

The house that lost its owner lay there lifeless, decayed and powerless.

Just as Gilfies was about to turn around and leave, the windows on the second floor suddenly lit up.

The young Reichsmarshal blinked, thinking it was a hallucination.Because, the owner of that room is long gone...

is she still alivewhere will she goCan I see her again? ...

Countless questions filled his heart, and the lighted window seemed to tear a hole in his heart. Missing, shame, worry... Swarming emotions filled every nerve of his.

Soon, however, Mrs. Crocker appeared at the window and closed it.

The lights went out, and his heart had to calm down again.

Shirley von Merkatz was no more.

Maybe one day she will come back, maybe she will never come back.

But no matter what, can we never go back to the past?

Recalling the conversation with Reinhardt in the ruling palace, Gilfies felt another shadow cast over his heart.

"The Kummel incident was indeed caused by the Earth Church, but the Rodriga incident has sufficient evidence to prove that it was done by the Alliance. Mercaz has recently been promoted to the commander of the Ninth Fleet of the Alliance Army. Isn't this the best? Example!"

"...Your Majesty Reinhardt, is it because of Admiral Merkaz or something else that the alliance was sent? Do you still want to avoid it now?"

The blond lord caressed the pendant on his chest with his fingers, and a layer of mist floated in his ice blue eyes.

"She hates me, Gilphiace."

After saying this, the blond lord got up and swept his cloak, leaving only the red-haired marshal standing tall in the huge room.

His Majesty Reinhardt...

A tingling flash of pain flashed in Jilfie Esbi's blue eyes, but was soon covered by helpless emotions.

Shirley von Merkatz, are you a god protecting the monarch or a sharp sword stabbing at the monarch...

On the night of August in the first year of the national calendar, the young red-haired marshal had no choice but to ask such a question.However, no one could answer him.No one can see where the history of the universe is going.

Note 1: There is no fort to fort yet, so Kemp is alive and Murat is not seriously injured.
