Alien Empire Total War
Chapter 66: On the Highest Realm of Undercover
The Northern War came to an end, but the dawn of peace did not come to the people of the Rumont Republic.
While the peace talks were in progress, the political struggle in the National Assembly became more and more severe. The aristocrats tried to take advantage of the successive victories in the North and South battlefields to retake the power that should belong to them through the revision of the constitution. The Santos Party was firmly opposed to this. The speech, openly attacking the intentions of the noble faction, caused the relationship between the two parties to deteriorate sharply.
The noble faction did not sit still. On May 8, the Ministry of the Army closed down several military uniform manufacturing factories under the names of Santos party lawmakers on the grounds that the uniforms were of poor quality, and seized a batch of cotton cloth used to make military uniforms. That night, the National Daily (a product after the Great Revolution) published this report and added fuel to it, causing dissatisfaction among many citizens whose relatives and friends joined the army.
Two days later, the National Bank broke the corruption scandal. The National Assembly immediately ordered the formation of a task force to cooperate with the Ministry of Finance to investigate the matter. Most of the task force members were members of the Santos Party. The officers were arrested and imprisoned, and through the list they left behind, several aristocratic congressmen were involved, and even the justice himself was involved.
As soon as the incident came out, the whole city was in an uproar. The National Daily, which had people on both sides, even wrote the sentence "the front is tight and the rear is tight" in the report of the day. The justice and the rest of the members involved had to take the blame. Their seats It was also acquired by the Santos party and re-elected the justices.
This matter did not end there. The nobles who resigned by taking the blame barely escaped after paying back the embezzled money and avoided jail time, but they were not willing to endure this shame, and they began to gather to plan against Santos The party's conspiracy - anger made them resort to a stupor, assassinate!
On the seventh day after the corruption case was revealed, and the night before the re-election of the justices, President Eker Santos, after accepting a busy day, was about to return to his family's home for the night with his wife and children, when they were attacked on the way. ——When a rickety carriage passed the carriage that Santos was riding in, a detonated bomb was thrown directly into the window of the carriage, killing the family of President Santos sitting inside.
After the explosion, the streets immediately fell into chaos. Although the presidential guard stopped the attackers who wanted to escape, but after a fierce battle between the two sides, all the attackers died, leaving no clues.
The death of Eker Santos quickly spread across the country, causing an uproar across the country. Vice President Leonard Sandy took advantage of the situation to announce temporary presidential powers and ordered the formation of an investigation task force to investigate the assassination of the president with all his strength, vowing to catch the culprit behind the scenes. .
The news of the death of the president also spread to the Hildi Kingdom. The Hildi people were keenly aware of the huge impact of this incident, and they began to extend the negotiation and negotiation in an attempt to delay the time until the follow-up of this incident came out. Decide.
On the other hand, although the nobles who participated in the assassination tried their best to erase any clues about them, they did not expect that a beggar who happened to pass by saw with his own eyes the assailant's carriage driving out of one of the nobles' manor, in the After being questioned, the beggar revealed his discovery and became the key evidence.
With a suspect target, everything will be easy to do next.
……
Along with the news of the assassination of President Eker Santos, there was also a handwritten letter from the high-ranking Vice President Leonard Sandy. Looking at the unremarkable letter, Charlie did not expect it at all. The backhand he left at the beginning could actually give him such a big surprise.
In the letter, Sandy reports to Charlie about his Ankerton roots and supporters in the party, saying that he is very confident that he can run as the new president, of course, because of the insecurity of the letter, more Sandy did not tell the matter, but invited Charlie to return to Ankerton for a detailed face-to-face conversation with him.
At the beginning, Charlie did not disband the militia company Sandy was in, so even if Sandy had reached the top and became the vice president, he still retained his loyalty to Charlie due to the system. This loyalty was unswerving, as long as Charlie needed it, He would still give his allegiance to Charlie without hesitation!
This is the power of the system, and it is also the reason why Charlie did not disband Sandy's militia company in the first place, although he simply thought of burying a **** in the Santos party and obtaining the other party's secrets, but he did not expect This **** can actually become the second-in-command of the country by virtue of his influence in the Santos party, and even become the first-in-command soon.
This feeling is like a report that Charlie has seen in his previous life. The undercover agent sent by the police has been lurking in a gang for three years, and climbed to the position of the gang boss with his own efforts-is this the current experience of Sandy? Is there a different kind of magic?
Anyway~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Charlie thinks that he needs to go back to Ankerton secretly - now the siege against Proden is still going on, he can't go back openly, so he has to find a family member when he goes back. He used an excuse to deal with the past, and he went back this time to have a private conversation with Sandy, so it was convenient to hide his whereabouts.
Speaking of Proden...
Charlie looked at the howitzer positions that were still shelling the city not far away. During this period of time, the First Front Army had attacked Proden City several times from three directions. As Charlie had expected, a large number of barricades on the streets became The biggest obstacle to a soldier's attack.
But he was wrong about one thing. It is not difficult to attack Proden. This big city with a population of more than 600,000 has streets that extend in all directions. The rebels with few troops cannot defend every street. Troops are deployed on the main road, so street fighting is mainly carried out on the main road.
One of the advantages of the main road is that it is wide, so wide that the attackers can set up several artillery pieces on it and aim at the barricades that are in the way.
Without the protection of the barricades, the rebel soldiers were quickly defeated. The current defeat was set, and their morale and fighting spirit were already low. After the enemy rushed in through the gap, the rebel soldiers stationed behind them disarmed and surrendered.
It was also because of this that Charlie left the front line and returned to Ankerton with confidence. According to this situation, even if Charlie left, the First Front Army could still follow the main road to enter the city step by step and recover the city of Prodon.
