Public trial?You deserve it too!

"Your Majesty, this time I escorted the prisoners to Tsosen with Chief Nicholas, and found that there seemed to be too many people detained there, and a large part of them were knights."

Finally found a chance to change the subject.

"Well, yes, there is also a place that gives me a headache."

The emperor sighed, he was reluctant to kill them all, and it was difficult to deal with the public opinion, but it was indeed a hidden danger to stay there. It was okay for Wu Jinqi to stay there, but if someone with a heart incited him... .

"Your Majesty, I have an immature idea."

Claude looked hesitant.

"Oh? Since there is a way, let's talk about it, just as a way to solve the problem-didn't Nicholas say before that this eradication of counter-revolutionaries was also your inspiration?"

The emperor smiled and encouraged Claude to be bold.

"Your Majesty knows that I have a lieutenant general who is from the Volga Army, and I have also traveled to the Eastern Front, so I have a deep impression on it. If Your Majesty is reluctant to part with the combat power of these people and does not trust their loyalty, you might as well list them form an army, and go to the Eastern Front for a redemptive expedition."

Claude looked at it poorly.

What if the loyalty of the army cannot be determined?Throw it into the punishment camp and throw it to the east to fill in the line.

This is what Claude thinks. Of course he knows that these people have problems with their loyalty - but they don't want to betray their race, right?

For thousands of years, the human world has been promoting the horror and cruelty of elves. Even ignorant children who have just started school know that elves are the common enemy of mankind. It did the same over there.

So no one dared to surrender to the elves, because the elves had no human prisoners of war over there, let alone the so-called informants and surrender, both sides killed each other.

So these knights, although they are all running dogs under the hands of the nobles, and their combat effectiveness and fighting will are also very problematic, but on the Eastern Front, they can't even escape - what choice do they have?

The emperor's eyes lit up, and Claude's words opened a new door for him.

Yes, why must the loyalty of these people be forced?

As long as there is no way for them to rebel, isn't it all right!

Even if there are diehards among these people, they are really brainwashed to hate the empire, but when they face the elves, will they continue to unswervingly attack the empire?

Besides, even if they want to stab a knife, they have to think about their fate, right?Help the elves deal with the empire, what good will they have?Even if the Theocracy and the elves do collude, but to convince these people who have been indoctrinated with the idea that elves are enemies to cooperate with elves, this kind of trust cannot be formed by just saying a few words.

Not to mention, the Eastern Front was originally monolithic. If the Theocracy were really stupid enough to send the heads of spies there, the Empire would have to accept it with a smile.

"Your idea is very good, Sir Claude!"

The emperor praised with some excitement that this method not only eliminated a hidden danger near the imperial capital, but also allowed these people to use their remaining energy to continue to contribute to the great cause of the empire.

Originally, the emperor was still concerned about whether to deploy the Eastern Front Legion to join the war, but once the method mentioned by Claude is implemented, the point is not how many Eastern Front troops can be transferred back, but at least within a few years, The empire doesn't even need to think about filling manpower for the Eastern Front Army.

This is equivalent to one less front to worry about, allowing the empire to concentrate on dealing with enemies inside.

"Well, I have to think more about how this matter should be handled - if Sir Claude has nothing else to say, go back first, and I will reward you again after I finish this matter. "

The emperor obviously couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, stood up from the chair, and started pacing back and forth in the room.

Of course, Claude would not bother the emperor at this time, so he resigned very sensiblely, leaving the emperor "alone" to think slowly.

He followed the attendants out of the palace and found that Nicholas' carriage had not left.

"Come on, I'm here to wait for you."

Nikolai sent an invitation.

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to talk to him about, it was obviously something Claude was willing to do to have a good relationship with the director.

The two of them still didn't talk about anything in the carriage. After the carriage left Miyagi and entered the stronghold of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, they opened their mouths again tacitly.

"Your Majesty, obviously I value you very much."

Nicola poured a cup of coffee for Claude.

"Although I knew this before, but now it seems that I still underestimate the favor you have received."

The chief picked up the cup.

"It's probably because of His Highness Leticia."

Claude said very humbly.

"Don't underestimate yourself, do you know? For a while, I always thought you were the emperor's illegitimate son, that's why you were taken care of like this—so I almost wanted to ask you directly, after all, the Intelligence Bureau can't go with the prince too close."

Nicholas made a joke, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

"How is it possible." Claude also laughed, "It's just a joke, I'm just a down-and-out nobleman, and I'm lucky to be in the situation I am today."

"Luck, luck... Sometimes luck is very important, but luck favors those who are prepared."

Nicholas shook his head slightly, obviously feeling a little emotional.

After all, there seems to be nothing wrong with what Claude said - picking up the other party's family history and looking at it carefully, it really depends on the word luck throughout.

Regarding the rescue of the Sudeten Mountains, it is clear that the Grand Duke of Saxony and Dania did not want to go into the muddy water, and deliberately used Claude's pretext to send troops. After all, this family is too sensible, how could it be involved in this kind of thing?The credit naturally goes to Claude.

Later, there was nothing to say about the Provence rebellion. Ludwig wanted to use the subjugated princess of Wallachia, and Claude just caught up, so all the credit for the Wallachians was given to Claude.

Needless to say, His Majesty did not want to see the next generation seize the throne, so he was in a hurry to engage Leticia, but because the emperor wanted to attack the nobles, it was impossible for a nobleman to get engaged to the princess

And Claude, who came back from the school year, happened to be a perfect example - he was not born in a noble family, he had repeatedly made military exploits on the battlefield, he was still young, and he was still talented as a knight.

Not to mention that Claude had rescued Ludwig before, and now that he married Ludwig's daughter, it was a good story that could be spread among the people.

Looking at the overview, Claude can always appear at the most critical time where an excuse is most needed-there are other options, but Claude must be the best option, so why not choose him?

But Nicholas didn't believe in luck at all—he only believed in inevitability.

In addition to this anti-revolutionary operation, although Claude said that he just came up with an idea, and he was the one who actually compiled the plan and then implemented the steps, but Nicholas knew what the situation was.

When making the plan, he has been busy sending Gutenberg into the Brittany peninsula without a trace. The plan for Claude is basically right, right, right, as long as he doesn't find any problems. and loopholes, then all nod.

So when the final result came out, he was shocked when he saw the plan—because, to be fair, he felt that there was no possibility of being discovered in this way. Although he did fill in some details, but with Claude The amount of work mentioned in the mouth is very different, and this plan is basically completed by Claude himself.

At that time, Nicholas knew that this knight Claude was definitely not a free item, and the gap with Augustus was not to say that it was a cloud and mud, but that he didn't feel like a species.

This kind of control and manipulation of people's hearts is so meticulous that even I can't do better than the other party.

Then think about it deeply, can Knight Claude guess His Highness the Princess and Ludwig the same way he guessed the psychology of these people?

Or even say yes, guess... that one?

Nicholas felt that it was necessary for him to spend a little time thinking about the political structure of the future empire.

The Burning World: Chapter 241 Chapter 220 Five Fleeting Flaws

If it was placed a year ago, Nicola Kohler would never have had this idea.

He is the director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. Although his position is not high, his weight is obvious to all. He is one of the few people most trusted by the emperor. He is in charge of the most secretive violent agency in the entire empire. He only needs to be responsible to the emperor. In a sense, he can be regarded as one person under one person and above ten thousand people.

So he doesn't need to think about political ties like [Alliance], or in other words, he doesn't dare to think about it at all--as the director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, you are so good at forming cliques, what do you want to do?

For a long time, Nicholas has been lonely and loyal to the emperor-until last year, the emperor prepared to settle Augustus' old accounts, and he had to make some preparations in advance.Because this is a big matter, I didn't arrange the second and third divisions to do it, but let myself be responsible for this matter alone.

Then he realized something was wrong.

Because the information on the three sides is missing like a black hole.

But this should not be, and it can even be said that it is impossible - because Nicholas did not investigate Augustus at the beginning, but started with his nobles and Gutenberg's Bar Chamber of Commerce. Yes, Imperial Intelligence should not be so neglected anyway.

After that, the more he checked, the more he was shocked. Except for the loopholes deliberately left by Gutenberg, the three pieces of information about other nobles turned out to be the same. The increase in the amount of smuggling, coupled with the other party's accurate report, made him go astray for a while, and mistakenly believed the other party's later information.

In the end, in the entire Imperial Intelligence Bureau, except for the group of people he brought out, plus the two directors Siegfried and Humphrey, he found that there was no one available.

Now that the three offices have been completely destroyed, the [Imperial Office] in the Imperial Intelligence Bureau has been completely delisted—even the emperor has made it clear in the hall just now that he is not going to rebuild the three offices, at least it is impossible for the intelligence office to rebuild the internal ones intelligence network.

Without the "Imperial" intelligence bureau of the empire, without the intelligence bureau trusted by the emperor...

This institution has completely lost the value of existence, and has even become something harmful to the empire. Its current situation can no longer be said to be a seriously ill mud-footed giant-but a pus-shaped sore. It looks like a humanoid!

Although Gutenberg may fight for an opportunity for himself, and even the entire intelligence agency, is this opportunity really useful?Even if His Majesty still trusts his ability and loyalty, does His Majesty really have any patience with the Imperial Intelligence Bureau?

Impossible, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau is not Augustus, and can be forgiven and waited for by the emperor again and again.

Counting this time, Nicholas saw a place brought out by Claude from the palace, and he really realized that the emperor had actually prepared for this day long ago.

The internal information is like a sieve, let alone the external ones. The Sixth Branch can't be contacted now, which is luck, and the Fourth Branch in charge of the Theocracy... I am afraid it is also a hard-hit area, and even the head of the Fourth Branch He didn't dare to really believe Humphrey. After all, the other party had been to Theocracy for decades. If something really happened during the process, no one would be able to find out.

And with the near-absolute suppressive power the Theocracy has over its intelligence bureau, Humphrey was not discovered...

He had already typed up the report before, but the emperor pressed the button and didn't let Nicholas directly check it.

But whether the emperor chose to investigate or not in the end, Nicholas no longer cared - he only cares about one thing now, and that is whether he can have a good death.

After all, he came from an intelligence background. He has done too much work. If the emperor wants to set up a new intelligence agency, then for these newly recruited eagle dogs, biting the old eagle dogs that disappointed their masters is a must. A meritorious operation with extremely low piece cost.

But is it possible that Nicholas is going to intercede in front of the emperor, saying that he has worked for the empire, shed blood for the emperor, shot a black gun and did black work?

Are you begging for mercy, or are you threatening the emperor?

So in that situation, no matter what, you are dead. If you want to survive, you must try to reduce the chance of being investigated as much as possible.In other words, it is to increase your chips - at least heavier than a chicken killed for monkeys.

And Claude is the future family chosen by Nicola.

He has a good composition, is valued by the emperor, and is about to marry a gold medal to avoid death. As long as the other party is not rebellious against the emperor, the possibility of Claude becoming a supreme minister in his life is no better than that of Ludwigden. The possibility of ascending to the throne is low, but the real future can be expected.

And the most wonderful thing is that his contact with the opponent was all under the approval of the emperor, and even his son's service under the opponent's command was also arranged by the emperor.

Wouldn't it be stupid to cling to this towering tree unreasonably?

Nicholas just didn't dare to participate in politics, and it wasn't that he didn't really understand politics.

Working with Claude this time allowed him to let go of his last worry.

This concern is, this knight Claude, can't really be the same person as Ludwig, so that he can also be trusted by the Crown Prince, right?

Speaking of which, Nicholas was a little caught off guard that someone like Ludwig could appear in the royal family. After all, this third master was really unexpected—he really only loves swords and not thrones people!

Now there are rumors outside, such outrageous remarks about being wise and foolish, bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, and even going so far as to assassinate oneself is a bitter trick - although at first glance Ludwig's rise is like a meteor, and he returned to the imperial capital for three years Just overturned Augustus, who had been firmly in the position of crown prince for more than 20 years, this statement is indeed credible.

But anyone who is really capable and insightful knows that this is pure nonsense - the position of the crown prince is decided by the emperor with one word, so how can other people control it?

The main reason is that Augustus and Joachim were self-defeating, and they died so clearly that they died completely. It seems outrageous for anyone to lay down the victory-not to mention laying down a throne.

So that's what Nikolay is worried about. Ludwig's position today has nothing to do with his own brain at all. This is the person standing on the ceiling of luck.

If Claude is in the same situation as him... then Nicholas really doesn't dare to continue to increase the bet. After all, what he hates the most is luck, which is completely unreasonable. Not to mention that this kind of person has a natural aversion to organizations in the dark corners of the intelligence agency.

However, this time the joint action can be regarded as a real relief for Nicholas - this knight Claude has real materials, he is not ambiguous about politics and people's hearts, and the subtext in the official words he said The other party didn't understand anything wrong, and even answered himself very decently. Obviously, the attribute of political idiot has nothing to do with the other party.

So when Nicholas discovered that the emperor still chose to keep Claude to discuss private matters today, he decided to offer his loyalty to the future heavyweight of the imperial military.

Of course, [Limited Loyalty].

"Claude, your plan this time is very powerful. Even I don't think there can be a better way. His Majesty also recognizes it. I think you will be rewarded."

Nicholas deviated from his usual straight-to-the-point manner of speaking, and began to compliment him vaguely.

"Director Nikolai's ability is obvious to all. Naturally, it is impossible for His Majesty to forget your contribution."

Claude was absent-mindedly exchanging business with the other party - he is a little distracted now, ***************************** *********, but why is the other party dragging Christina both inside and out?

Could it be that his affair with Christina was discovered?

Pooh!What cheating! *********, ***************************, how can it be called cheating?

"You are now the head of the Ninth Guards Knights, ************************************* ***************"

Nikolai continued to blow.

"Uh...you're too proud. I'm still young and I don't understand a lot of things. It's His Majesty's favor to be in my current position. How dare I ask for more?"

Claude blinked, but didn't figure out what kind of way Nikolay was.

As we all know, when people face something that they are not good at, they will waste a lot of thinking and computing power trying to make it look like something they are familiar with-so now Claude, the brain circuit is a bit out of touch with Nicola raised.

"Hey, time is always passing. Being young is an advantage. Unlike us, old people only have a little experience and experience-if these things can help you, just ask."

Nicholas patted his chest boldly.

What are you doing?Clique?Or do you want to find the next director to be the blame man?

With the opponent's IQ, he must know that it is impossible for him to stay in the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, but if he forms a gang with himself...

Brother, are you alright?I haven't done anything harmful to you. Is it worth dying with me like this?What are you planning?

Nicholas is the head of the intelligence bureau, how dare he take the initiative to make friends with the powerful generals in the army?Boss Dai was so powerful back then, and even befriended a certain famous idiot, but before Asuka was exhausted, he was sent away by the bald man so quickly and cheaply.

Claude was a little stupefied. He had just adjusted his thinking when he realized that Nicola was doing something he couldn't understand.
