Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 67: Back in Ankerton

In May, the city of Ankerton has returned to the bustling and prosperous before the Great Revolution. The main road that used to be a battlefield was bustling with pedestrians. The carriages of the wealthy were swaying in the middle of the road. Pedestrians looked at those carriages. Less of the old fear.

Charlie, dressed in civilian clothes, sat in a temporarily hired carriage. The voices of passers-by outside came into his eardrums through the car window. In addition to their own lives, the conversations of passers-by were mostly about the assassination of the president, the war in the South and The upcoming new presidential election, through the conversation of passers-by, he was able to get some information that could not be obtained in the south.

The man behind the assassination of the president has been jailed. The aristocratic congressmen who resigned because of the corruption case jointly assassinated President Eker Santos. With the testimony of a homeless man, one of them was arrested and jailed. , and then involved other participating MPs through his interrogation.

When the confessions of the criminals were released in the National Assembly, there was an uproar in the entire chamber, and the Santos Party also seized the opportunity to attack the aristocracy, which led to a sharp drop in the support rate of the aristocracy among the common people-their reputation was not very good, This can be said to be worse.

Therefore, since Charlie entered the Ankerton region, the comments he heard about the noble faction were basically negative.

But this has nothing to do with him, because Charlie is not going to follow the route arranged by Uncle Gunila to go into politics. On the way back from Proden to Ankerton, he has decided to stay in Proden City and use Proden City as his stronghold, and Ankerton City... after he made such a decision, it is destined to not be peaceful.

why?

Once Sandy is elected as president, Charlie will make him make a series of riots, so that the finally stabilized Rumont Republic will fall back into civil strife. As the capital of a country, Ankerton City is destined to not be peaceful, only the country Falling into civil strife, Charles had the opportunity to enter the Sona Palace and imitate Napoleon to become the head of a country.

Just like the French Revolution, if there was no political turmoil and internal and external troubles in France after the revolution, no matter how strong Napoleon's ability was, he would not be able to become the emperor of France as a small nobleman and an artillery officer.

Just as Charlie was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped, the door of the carriage was gently knocked, and the driver's voice sounded from outside:

"Sir, the road ahead is blocked by the crowd, should we change the road?"

Following his voice, the shouts of the crowd in front also followed.

"What are you doing ahead?" he asked.

"It seems that the National Assembly is announcing something," replied the coachman.

"Well..." Zha Li thought for a while, and said, "You park on the side of the road first, and I'll take a look ahead."

After a while, Charlie stepped out of the carriage and looked at the citizens gathered not far ahead. Over the heads of the citizens, he could still see an official with a white wig in the middle of the crowd. The official was holding a stack of The document was saying something loudly, causing the crowd to respond from time to time.

It was only after Charlie squeezed into the crowd that he could hear what the official was saying. The National Assembly ordered the Grand Court to try several of the people behind the assassination of the president. The results of the trial will be announced in a week.

Standing in the crowd, their ears are full of the cries of the citizens demanding the murderer be executed and the title of nobility abolished. They are already full of hatred for the nobility who once oppressed them, but now the nobility assassinated the president who led them to overthrow the king, what would they do? Maybe you have a crush on the nobles?

Although the constitution has abolished the hereditary rights of the nobles, their titles and fiefs still exist. The Santos party and the citizens have always wanted to completely ban the nobles, but their influence in the army has never been achieved. Now the nobles have assassinated the president, This will be the best chance to provoke national outrage.

Looking at the frenzied expressions on the faces of the surrounding citizens, Charlie only felt his scalp go numb. This expression was so similar to the expressions of the citizens when he first returned to Ankerton!

Charlie quickly squeezed out of the crowd, and the guards who came out with him glanced at the more and more citizens behind him, and couldn't help but whispered to Charlie: "General, the situation is not good, if these citizens are incited. , there is a good chance that a second civil war will break out."

Charlie nodded. Although it hasn't reached that level yet, if the trial in a week's time fails to give the citizens satisfactory answers, then the entire city of Ankerton will become a huge powder keg. They would not hesitate to take up arms again and start a rebellion.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea.

"Let's go, let's go to the hotel first." He instructed the guards beside him, and the group immediately returned to the carriage and changed the route to the reserved hotel~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Charlie and the others He only found a decent hotel to stay in, and then he sent the guards to tell Sandy the news of his arrival in Ankerton, and asked Sandy to disguise himself and come to the hotel to meet him.

However, as the vice president of the latter, his travel security was strictly arranged after the assassination of the president, so the guards could not see Sandy directly, and could only turn to other soldiers who were converted into system soldiers with Sandy. Santos party dignitaries, let them take them to see Sandy.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the few Santos members who were converted with Sandy. Although they were not reused with Sandy and became vice presidents after the establishment of the new government, their status in the party did not Lowered by their captive experience, they also held different positions in the three ministries: Treasury, National Life and Foreign Affairs.

Even now, Charlie doesn't know how Sandy and the others deal with the capture. He didn't specifically ask. First of all, it's unnecessary, and secondly, there are systematic restrictions. He is not afraid that Sandy and the others will betray him. back to the organization.

In order to hide their eyes and ears, Charlie and the others stayed in the hotel room until late at night. It was not until late at night that Sandy, who was dressed up in disguise, was led by the guards sent out during the day to the hotel to meet Charlie.

When I saw Sandy again, he had already changed dramatically from a year ago. If he was a determined revolutionary youth, then a year of pampering life was enough to kill his will and make him a potbellied and arrogant official. .

Of course, Sandy is not as exaggerated as a big belly now, but it is already fast. Compared with last year, his body has directly gained a small circle of weight, and his temperament has also changed, and his behavior and speech carry the arrogance of a superior.
