Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

Kanter glanced at him, pulled out the chair, and sat on the lower seat of the table opposite him, and replied crisply:

"A lot, but not a lot. False reporting of military service, neglect of training, insufficient maintenance of weapons, substandard sanitation in the canteen, no one cleaning the toilet, and no water in the bathroom for many days. There are simply a lot of problems. But!"

Colonel Kantor rubbed his temples,

"These are all internal problems in the army. It can only be said that there has been a long period of peace and neglect of management. Although rectification is necessary, it does not involve the reasons why the Tara people rioted."

"I guessed it. I knew it would be like this." Sir Weinert nodded without any surprise.It's so normal, it's a bad tactic to cover up really big problems with a bunch of innocuous ones, but it works.Sir Weinert has seen many capitalists, businessmen and nobles who use this method to evade national taxes.

What happened to those people... Thanks to the greatness of Victoria and the kindness of Her Highness Wayne, they were not beheaded, and a few enclaves were enough for them to be sent to prison and exiled.

Who can lie in front of His Royal Highness who seems to know everything and her princess? Those people didn't even know when they were targeted. When Princess Sarkaz was, it was already too late, and when the secrets hidden in her heart were revealed one by one, the pale expression on her face really brought tears to the eyes.

"Everything that has been done will leave traces. This is the famous saying of His Highness Wayne. Don't worry, the double reed that you sang with me today was very successful. Colonel Hamilton has already entered the set. When I become his own person in his eyes, I will investigate It's much easier."

"Is it so easy to get in?" Kanter questioned.Weinert nodded confidently:

"Of course it's not that easy, but with your external pressure, he can only ask for help from another person who can check and balance you. And this person is only me. If it goes well, he will try to drag me into the water. After all, I I've already mentioned it to him cryptically."

"What did you mention?"

Weinert shrugged: "A rumor, it doesn't matter, what matters is what he will think after knowing the rumor."

Chapter 3 Hamilton's plan

Victoria, Northern Territory, Hillshire. 9:00 p.m.

Although it was already night, Hamilton had no intention of falling asleep at all.On the contrary, he is extraordinarily sober now, sitting at the desk, frowning, tapping the table with his fingers unconsciously, muttering words.

"Sure enough, there is a problem. There is a problem here. What should I do?"

Just like what Sir Weinert said, Colonel Hamilton is very guilty now, especially after Colonel Kantor seemed to have no affection or relationship at all, and he couldn't wait to go to the military camp to investigate as soon as he came to Hill County. Anxiety is heightened.

He knew what he had done and what he planned to do. During the time when the garrison stayed in Xiaoqiu County, Colonel Hamilton, as the leader of the garrison, had always maintained a high-pressure policy against the local Tara people. The town council's repeated persuasion has never changed.The reason is simple, Colonel Hamilton just looked down on the Tara people.

This is a problem left over from history. Strictly speaking, the Tara people are all survivors of the previous dynasty. Even though Victoria now legally recognizes the equal citizenship rights of the Tara people and Victorians, the grudges in people’s hearts are not The law will change with a black and white official document.Not only Colonel Hamilton, but many old Victorian aristocrats and even older military figures have a bad feeling for the Tara people.One person's bad comments may not be important, but the bad comments of a group of people, especially a group of powerful people, will form a social concept, as the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and one mouth makes one gold.

The Tara people in Xiaoqiu County live in settlements. Although they are not infected, they live a life that is not much different from the infected.It is also restricted to enter some areas, to engage in some jobs, and even to intermarry with local Victorians.When the Tara people and Victorians who attend the same primary school run for the president of the student union, even if the votes are the same, the principal will give priority to the Victorian children.

And all of this, strictly speaking, is related to him, the leader of the garrison who has always maintained a high-pressure policy and bad attitude towards the Tara people.Once that Colonel Kantor investigates this, it is impossible for him to speak clearly even if he has a thousand mouths.

Not to mention, with that old-fashioned, stubborn, and unsophisticated special envoy, it is very likely that he will go to the gathering place of the Tara people to investigate the riot on the spot!Based on my attitude towards those Tara people, once Colonel Kantor announces his identity and his purpose, who can guarantee that they will not report to Colonel Kantor?

Yes, the Tara people have indeed lost trust in the Victorians under their own policies, but there will always be one or two outliers in an ethnic group, just like the Victorian Royal Academy of Etiquette who recently served in their army. The guard of honor... seems to be Jane Willow, he is a different kind of Victoria, obviously as the flag bearer of the honor guard of the glorious Victorian Empire, holding the highest honor of waving the flag of the Victorian Empire, but he hangs around with those Tara people all day long Together.Who can guarantee that there will be a few outliers from the Tara people who want to take this opportunity to take a gamble and tell the matter to Special Envoy Kanter?

Hamilton didn't take the gamble.The Tara are the descendants of Drake, the citizens of Drake, and an unstable factor that threatens the rule of the great Victorian Aslan royal family, but it is undeniable that Her Majesty the Benevolent Queen recognized their identity as the people of Victoria , then as long as his oppression and exploitation of them reach the ears of Londinium, it is a heinous crime!

"We have to find a way to make the Tara people shut up."

Hamilton said in a deep voice.But who can shut up?Giving the temptation of benefits will fuel the arrogance, and increasing the intensity of oppression may also cause a second riot and leave evidence.Neither can silence the people of Tara.

Hamilton's eyes were fixed, showing a fierce look.

"Either do nothing, or do it, and do it absolutely! Only the dead can shut up!"

Colonel Kanter is the special envoy of Lentinium, and I can't do anything to him, but the Tara people are just a group of unarmed civilians, as long as I act swiftly, no one will be able to find out.Yes, no one can find out.

In order to prevent Ambassador Kanter from making trouble, I can also ask that Special Envoy Weinert, um, let him stabilize Envoy Kanter.Don't show up where you shouldn't be during a do-it-yourself session.

Hamilton felt a sudden enlightenment in his brain, isn't that right?Envoy Kanter is not well-versed in the world, but Ambassador Weinert is a person who can come. He is the candidate recommended by Lord Mayor Arthur, and he may have been told by Lord Mayor to know the relationship between his father and Lord Mayor.You can ask him for help.Didn't he even find a reason for me today?

"The late emperor's adopted daughter may be from Tara, which is why His Royal Highness is so concerned about the Xiaoqiu County riot. He wants to find his sister back."

"I led troops into the city to track down the whereabouts of the Highness the Queen, but I accidentally discovered that the reason for the Tara riots was that they had kidnapped the Highness and wanted to use the identity of the Highness to rebel, and the garrison fought against her. After a hard fight, the riot was finally suppressed! The peace and stability of Xiaoqiu County was maintained, but Her Royal Highness was kidnapped by the remaining Tara thugs in the chaos, and her whereabouts are unknown!"

The more Hamilton thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible, and even, if Envoy Kanter found something tricky in the end, he could use this name to get rid of him as well, so as to avoid future troubles: "Tara The riot, the sudden death of the special envoy! How sweet it sounds! Moreover, if this matter is known by the Londinium side, His Majesty the Prince and His Majesty the Queen will definitely be furious. By then, Victoria will no longer treat these Tara thugs Be merciful! What I do will also be a just act that conforms to the will of the people!"

As for whether the garrison will lose?Hamilton didn't think about it at all.How could it be possible to lose?The opponent is an unarmed Tara man who has problems with food and clothing, and his subordinates are all professional Victorian soldiers. Although they have been out of battle for a long time and can't even hit the gun accurately, they have also experienced professional training before. , coupled with the gap in weapons, the Tara people cannot be opponents.

What's more, even if this group of garrisons is really so bad that a group of mobs can't beat them, he still has an emergency last resort-in order to eliminate these Tara people and the secret association they colluded with, he has already secretly transported A batch of Originium industrial products came to the artillery battalion of the garrison to secretly make dirty bombs.Once things get out of control and they are at a disadvantage, that's when these dirty bombs come in handy.

With such a layer of insurance, Hamilton suddenly has no fear!

The colonel jumped up from the chair and paced back and forth in the office several times. After perfecting the plan, he took a deep breath.

There is one last loophole in this plan that is far from perfect, and that is Sir Weinert, one of the two special envoys, he must cooperate with himself and string together a statement, so as to perfectly realize the deception.

However, Hamilton was not worried that Sir Weinert would not help him. Sir Weinert had already hinted clearly enough at the welcoming ceremony today-if Envoy Kanter did too much, he would stand by Hamilton's side.

What's more, as Weinert said, they are just the special envoys of Lundinium, and the matter in Xiaoqiu County has nothing to do with them at all. It was only due to the pressure of the royal family that they had to go out , sooner or later you have to go back.And he, Colonel Hamilton, is the permanent garrison officer of Hill County.Instead of bringing down the boss of himself, offending the mayor and his father, and losing his future, he might as well stand on his side and deal with the disobedient Tara mob.If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who created the problem.

Thinking of this, Hamilton exhaled freely.

That's good, find someone tomorrow, when you are alone with Envoy Weinert, try it out, and tell him the plan.

Chapter 4 Qin Liu's Tribute

Victoria, Hill County, Tara settlement.

Regardless of Hamilton's thoughts, Kanter will do what he should do.According to the plan, he came to the largest Tara settlement center in Xiaoqiu County today.

Xiaoqiu County is a medium-sized mobile city. There are forty or fifty other mobile cities like this in Victoria, and they have not surpassed them. They have advanced to large-scale mobile cities of mobile city-states, and even larger super cities— —Lentinium.The larger the city, the larger the population. The population of Xiaoqiu County is more than 100 million, and among the population of more than 100 million, more than one-third of the population belongs to the Tara people. .

The Tara people used to be subjects of the lineage of King Gail, a branch of the Drake royal family. King Er's line.After King Aslan of the first generation led an expedition to Victoria from Sargon, and King Drake of Atrias' lineage gave up his power and divided the power to Aslan, King Gael's lineage also chose to sign Sign a peace treaty.But compared to the lineage of Lentinium Artrias, who was the main force against Aslan, the war between King Gael's lineage and King Aslan was not so fierce that both sides suffered, and in the end they chose a decent one. Armistice and surrender, not unconditional surrender.

This means that the Tara people actually still have a complete inheritance. They have passed down their own writing, language, and history from generation to generation, maintaining the independence of their nation from the entire Victoria.Just as the Victorians in Hills County do not recognize the Tara people as their compatriots, the Tara people also regard the Victorians as enemies, and even, in their language, even use "You are a dirty Victorian " as a curse word.Just like the Ursas always bring Casimir with them when they curse.

Hamilton repeatedly warned Envoy Cantor not to enter the land of the Tara people, let alone have any contact with those Tara scum.But Kanter is not only a special envoy, but also a rank higher than him. He has nothing to do with Kanter except to dissuade him.It can only strengthen the intensity of block patrols and equip Kanter with a large number of escort soldiers.

"You let me bring so many soldiers, how do you investigate, that Tara will approach me?"

Kanter was dissatisfied and wanted to refuse the escort.But he already had a plan in his heart. For this sake, Hamilton also became tougher, and directly refused:

"Investigation is secondary, and your safety is the most important thing. There are omissions in your investigation, and there are no results in the end. You are the only one who suffers when you return to Londinium, but if you are attacked by those Tara scum in Xiaoqiu County Assassination, whether it is injury or loss of life, I am the one who suffers in the end. Therefore, you have to take this guard with you, or you have to take it with you. I hope you can understand."

Kanter's forehead was twitching with veins, and I wish I could understand.

I'm afraid you soldiers are not here to protect me, but to stop those Tara people who want to seek justice from me, right?

But Kanter had to nod in agreement.Although Colonel Hamilton's words are extremely difficult to hear, the truth is really the same, and the words are not rough.Hamilton doesn't want to take the blame, so he can only do this, whether Kanter agrees or not.

So, with a group of guards, Kanter walked into the gathering area of ​​the Tara people differently than expected.

Along the way, the people in Tara either watched, closed the door immediately, or left quickly, and fled in a hurry. Kanter looked at them and wanted to step forward to grab one of them several times, but before he could make a move, he was caught by the people around him. The guards scattered the Tara people.Kanter obviously also expected that this trip might not lead to any results, so he had to give up his plan to find a Tara person to ask about the cause of the commotion some time ago.The important task was handed over to Sir Weinert who stayed in the camp.

"It's up to you."

He said in his heart.Finally arrived at the first scene of the first riot in Xiaoqiu County - "Ravenzhi Tavern"

Unlike the mercenary tavern in the old town of Kazdale, the Ravenzhi tavern is really just an ordinary tavern.There is no blackboard for posting reward tasks, the whole tavern is full of simplicity, even a decent neon light and colorful light ball, a few tables, a few chairs, a bar and a few high stools, This is the entire configuration of the bar. As for the wine rack behind the bar, it has fallen down during the riots, and the ground is covered with various colorful wine bottle fragments and water stains.

"The cause of the riot?"

Kanter swept around the bar, and there were a total of seven human-shaped outlines drawn with white chalk on the ground, representing a total of seven people killed in the riot and their positions when they died.

The accompanying adjutant Hill immediately replied:

"At nine o'clock on the night of the incident, a Tara scum... a Tara man, walked out of the beer hall after drinking, and provoked the Victorian soldiers on duty on the street. He tried to snatch the weapon, but the soldier tried to persuade him three times to no avail. , fired a crossbow and killed him by mistake. Then a total of more than 23 Tara people rushed out of the hotel to attack the soldier and three reinforcement soldiers who arrived later, resulting in the death of two soldiers and five Tara people. [-] people Injuried."

Sounds like an ordinary drunken accident, where a drunk Tara recklessly snatches a patrolling soldier's weapon, and gets killed for what he deserves.

But is this really the case?

Kanter turned and swept towards the bar.A residential building was right in the direction of the tavern. The first floor of the residential building was a store. It was only nine o'clock on the night of the incident. The store should not be closed, at least the department store not far away was closed.The store owner would have noticed if he had heard the commotion.In addition to him, there are other people in the bar, and there must be many witnesses passing by this street.This is not something that can be fooled easily.

But now, Kanter can't ask anyone.Because the department store is closed, because the residential buildings are empty, even if there are still wet clothes hanging on the balcony upstairs, because on the third day after the tavern riot, this place was listed as a restricted area by Hamilton, and all the residents have been released. He was forced to move out, and that day was the time when Londinium announced that it would form an investigation team to investigate the incident in Xiaoqiu County.It's all done, only the devil knows where to look for witnesses.

"Humph."

Kanter snorted coldly, turned around, and planned to leave.The place has been cleaned up, so clean that they are already confident that they will be fooled by a simple lie, and there is no need to stay any longer.

He wanted to order to leave, but accidentally saw a blond Vaifan girl who was watching behind the crowd.

She is holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums in her hand, and her clothes look like a Victorian guard of honor?

Interesting, a Victorian guard of honor from Vaivan came to mourn a group of "Tara thugs" in the controlled Tara neighborhood?Intuition told Kanter that the girl might know something.

"Soldier, come here."

Kanter stretched out his hand and beckoned to the girl.The Vayifan girl was stunned for a moment, looked around for a while, and then pointed at herself in surprise.

"me?"

she asked a little nervously.

"It's you." Kanter beckoned, looked at the guarded soldiers raising their crossbows, and said coldly, "Put down your crossbows, those are Victoria's soldiers, do you want to shoot arrows at your colleagues?"

The soldiers in the garrison hesitated for a moment, and one of the soldiers jumped out and said, "That's Jane, Jane Willow, the guard of honor who just came to Xiaoqiu County this year to serve as the banner bearer, and she's in Adams' team. One of my own."

Only then did the garrison soldiers put down the crossbow arrows in their hands.But they didn't notice that Kanter's brows had been deeply frowned, and his eyes were even a little dignified.It wasn't until Jane Willow came up to him that he restrained his expression and said:

"Hi, what's your name?"

"Jane Willow, the flag bearer of the First Honor Guard of the Victorian Empire's Hill County Guard of Honor. Colonel!" Janet obviously saw the rank on Kanter's shoulder and chest, saluted a military salute, and replied loudly.

Kanter nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at the guards around him with some distaste.Even a guard of honor is more energetic than you, rice bugs in this army!

"You're holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums, are you mourning someone?" Kanter asked.

Jane hesitated for a moment, but still answered seriously:

"I want to pay tribute to Mr. Siro who was killed in the riot. He was one of the dead in the riot. He was usually... a very good person. I really didn't expect him to do such a thing."

"Oh?" Kanter seemed to be interested, "What kind of person is he on weekdays, tell me?"

Chapter 5 Serious Situations (4k)

"As I said just now, Sir Weinert, the Tara scum has seriously threatened the safety of Hill County and even the Victoria Empire. This is no longer my prejudice alone, but the consensus of the entire society! Yes The accusation of more than 20 Victorian garrison soldiers who died in the Hill County riots! They also had children, parents, and their own families. When the rioting Tara scum cut off their necks and smashed their heads , I remember the expressions in their eyes clearly!"

Hamilton gritted his teeth, and slammed his fist on the desk table. The heavy books and phone bounced off the desk for a moment. Eye pupils, full of anger spewed out of the mouth, almost splashing all over Weinert's face:

"It was painful, unwilling, and remorseful! They looked at me, as if they were asking me, why didn't I make up my mind earlier and clean up all the scum out of the city of Victoria! I gave the Tara people the order to hand over the thugs Time, but their attitude is so arrogant that it makes people vomit!"

Gritting his teeth, Hamilton opened the second drawer on the left side of the desk, took out a stack of blue folders, and pushed them in front of Sir Weinert.

"I know, there's no evidence for it, and you can look at it. Look at what they did after I asked them to hand over the mob."

There was a flicker in Weinert's eyes, and he nodded slightly, but said nothing, and picked up the folder in front of him.

The first: [The first day after the Tara tavern riot: The Tara formed three secret associations.Conspiring, the third team went to disperse, and reiterated the demand to hand over the mob.That night, Tara mobs sneaked into the garrison barracks with the help of their supporters, and attacked the third team's garrison with explosives. Five people from the third team were killed, 13 were injured, and a fire broke out in the camp. 】

Weinert frowned deeply. He originally thought that these folders would contain materials that Hamilton planned to drag himself into the water, such as a wad of money?For example, a letter of commitment to participate in an action, such as some promises of his interests.

But he didn't expect that this was actually evidence of the Tara riots!Moreover, there are photos taken at that time to testify next to almost every piece of evidence of the riots, such as the charred corpses at the scene of the explosion, the Victorian soldiers who were lying on a stretcher and weeping after their arms and legs were injured, and Tara who was captured on the spot The appearance of the mob.

Weinert's eyes narrowed as he put down the first folder and picked up the second.The same goes for the second, and so does the third.

By the time Weinert picked up the fourth folder, the serious expression on his face could no longer be added, and at this moment, Hamilton spoke:

"So far, there have been three riots in total, and the fourth folder in your hand is the recording of our interrogation of those rioters."

Weinert raised his head and glanced at him, then quickly lowered his head, and opened the fourth folder in his hand, which actually contained a recorder.Weinert took out the recorder, turned it on, and pressed the play button.

From the recorder, there were neither cold accusations nor angry accusations. Weinert held the recorder in his hand and watched in a daze as the pointer of the playback progress bar gradually moved from the beginning to the end until the sound ended. He just raised his head, fixed it, and asked in a bit of bewilderment and a bit of shock:

"what is this?"

"Tape, my lord envoy!"

Hamilton replied equally seriously.

"What is he saying?"

"He's cursing the Victorians, cursing the Victorian Empire, cursing the Aslan royals, cursing you and me - all who will give their all for the Empire."

Weinert took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his voice still couldn't help trembling, he said sharply:

"You know I'm not asking this! I'm asking, what are they talking about?! What language is this!"

Weinert can swear that this is not the Victorian language he has heard before. Victorian language is elegant and full of rhythm. After Gaul, it is the only lingua franca that runs through the entire land.And the language, which is not Victorian at all, is profanity.

They were born on the land of Victoria, grew up under the shade of Victoria, used the industrial products produced by Victoria, and enjoyed all the benefits of being a Victorian, but they are betraying Victoria. Soldiers, the Victorian Empire has plenty of soldiers to replenish, but they use a non-imperial language in Victoria!

Language is the embryonic form of words, language carries culture, language inherits ideas, language can unite people who have nothing to do with each other, they have created a new language, they are digging the roots of Victoria!

This matter is absolutely not to be underestimated!This is not an insignificant riot of a few people at all, but a war deliberately planned by someone and started quietly!

And in this war, Victoria has unknowingly lost the opportunity.

Hamilton saw the solemn expression on Werner's face, and he replied at this time:

"The language is called Tara. It's not a newly created language. You and I know its origins. King Gaelic of Drak's royal family."
