The prime minister glanced down at the cup with some tea spilled on it, and only then felt a slight heat in his fingers and the back of his hand.

As we get older, perception also declines.

If it is a child, it must have been burned to the point of crying.

But he just felt a little warm!

He picked up the hand towel that was used to clean the tabletop and wiped off the water stains on his hands, as well as the ones on the tabletop.

While wiping, he asked, "Did you die by mistake?"

This question is very technical.

If the death was caused by accident, carelessness, or accident, then there is still a lot of room for relaxation!

After all, in a subjective sense, the perpetrator did not think about killing the victim. He might just be in a state of agitation and anger, and accidentally hit hard.

This was forgivable, as long as the matter was open and honest, he believed that the Navy would not make trouble.

Compensation is in place, public opinion is arranged, and the idiots who did these things are punished as they should be, and the problem may still be restored.

The Minister of War shook his head, "He shot and killed the soldier who was attacking him. The man has returned, and he is a child of the... family."

A child from a noble family, this also made the prime minister even more troublesome!

When the era of great voyages came, the nautical technology and industrial level were limited. Don't look at the possibility of getting rich every time you go to sea, but at the same time, there are also many people who never come back after going to sea!

Opportunities and risks coexist in the sea, and even the risks are greater than the opportunities!

In that period, it was a very dangerous job to go from sailor to captain.

The nobles don’t want to do it, and they are unwilling to do it. Those who become sailors are actually poor children and some speculators. They want to use their lives as a price to gamble on a future!

Therefore, in the navy as a whole, the middle and lower levels are dominated by civilians, and they may form an internal family like the federal army.

But in terms of titles, these sailors and middle and low-level officers are actually civilians.

This is completely different from an officer or even a soldier with an aristocratic background popping up in the army at every turn!

This also makes the problem more unmanageable!

Because de-privileging the aristocrats is something the prime minister himself does, and he takes the lead to promote and complete it.

If he wanted to follow the normal process, he would have to severely punish this army officer with an aristocratic background, otherwise the reforms and changes he made before would all become a joke.

The nobles have more reasons to hate him, and the common people may not like him much.

"Where are people?"

"Have you caught it?"

The Secretary of War did not give a positive answer, "The man has gone home, and he is under our control!"

"But...we can't hand him over!"

The Minister of War's attitude was a little tough, "If we hand him over, what will others think of us?"

"You must know better than me how complicated the situation in the Army is. Maybe we will face even bigger troubles!"

The prime minister stared at him, sizing up his expression, eyes, "What are you going to do?"

The Minister of War restrained his tone a little, "Think of a way to get past it first, they are fighting for the woman's hand, and it was the navy who did it first, and they were the ones who broke the rules first!"

"Then these things happened. We investigated the situation clearly, announced it, and then considered the punishment..."

He knew very well that if he didn't try to fight for it, this army officer might not survive tomorrow!

He has known the prime minister for decades and knows what kind of a man he is.

The prime minister can overthrow the rule of the royal family for the sake of this country, and he can also sacrifice an army officer for the sake of temporary stability.

But the matter did not sit so well with the Secretary of State for War himself.

If he can't protect the interests of army officers, the army and the nobles behind them may not continue to support him.

;/a>

And losing the support of the army, even if only a small number of people no longer support him, it will be terrible for him to try to compete with the Secretary of the Navy for power and profit!

He wants to keep his own people and ensure that the Army fully supports him.

No matter how Gefra changes in the future, he will have his own place.

But if he loses the support of the army, who can say what will happen in the future?

He felt that this was a good way to deal with it, at least the officer would not die.

Homicide is a capital crime, and it is a marine soldier who killed, there is no other way.

In doing so, he might go to jail, but at least he saved his life, and the Secretary of the Army also gave an explanation to the Army.

The Prime Minister thought for a while, shook his head for more than ten seconds, "It's too late, and it's not suitable."

He gave his opinion, "If it is in normal times, I will support your approach, but you have to understand that this is wartime."

"Pengteao people will come across the sea anytime and anywhere, and the navy is our last barrier..."

The Minister of War was upset when he heard it, and interrupted him, emphasizing his importance, "So is the Army!"

The prime minister was a little displeased, but he didn't express it. He just looked at him calmly, as if saying, "Do you think you can believe what you said?"!

After waiting for a few seconds, the Prime Minister expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Don't interrupt me!"

"The navy is very important to us, and no matter what the cause is, the person who died was from the navy. You and the murderer must stand up!"

"This is not a bargain, the problem must be suppressed as soon as possible!"

"I'm not discussing with you!"

An aura from the Supreme Ruler rushed over, and the Minister of War fell into silence...

At this time, the generals of the navy also knew the news, and one of their subordinates was killed for no reason.

What's even worse is that it was an army officer, and he ran away!

The admirals of the navy discussed it and decided to talk to the prime minister first.

At 11.15 the Secretary of State for War left the prime minister's residence, promising to persuade the army officer to surrender first, which should save his life.

As long as people can live, other things are easy to talk about.

Not long after he left, the admiral called. It was a rear admiral.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, to disturb your rest at such a late hour, but a terrible thing happened just now, and I must let you know."

Your Excellency the Prime Minister responded with a few words, and soon the major general explained the whole story again, and in more detail.

Moreover, they also controlled the bartender in the bar, and he could attend the trial as an important witness when necessary.

In the end, the major general also talked about their demands.

"We lost a soldier who was shot by our own people. Our request is very simple, that is, someone should be held accountable!"

"As for our problem, after the matter is over and the dead are rested, we will deal with it openly!"

"Those who should go to jail will go to jail, and those who should be expelled will also be expelled. We will not have the slightest cover-up or cover-up. I believe that the laws of the empire must be fair..."

Listening to the Rear Admiral's words, the Prime Minister could only give a vague answer.

"I will try my best to deal with this matter tomorrow morning. It is too late now, and there are many things that are inconvenient..."

The Rear Admiral did not make things difficult for the Prime Minister, he agreed with the Prime Minister.

After hanging up the phone, the prime minister had a headache.

The navy's appeal is actually very obvious. They just want the officer who killed him to pay for his actions.

According to Gefra's law and military law, any act of killing one's own people must be punished with death!

If there was no terrible cost for killing people, the whole country would be in chaos!

The Minister of War meant that he wanted to save the officer's life as much as possible, and there was a new conflict between the demands of the two sides.

The prime minister sighed and sat on the chair for a long time without resting, he didn't know what to do at this time...

In the eyes of these big shots, it seemed that none of them had considered what would happen to that army officer.

The army officer also knew that he had made a big mistake. When he returned home, he immediately confessed to his parents what he had done before, killing a marine soldier!

In the past, they could not care less, when nobles had privileges.

Even if it is murder, it can be avoided, such as a death warrant.

As long as they pay enough fines, they can buy all their charges. If it is a very serious charge, they can also avoid death by demotion or removal of title.

But now, no more.

The Prime Minister has completely abolished all the privileges of the nobles, and they can no longer be exonerated through death warrants, which also means that although they bear the name of nobles, they do not have the slightest privileges.

Even because they were crowned with the title of nobility, the punishment they received would be a little harsher!

The Prime Minister has been dissatisfied with the middle and lower nobles for a long time. The minor nobles all feel that the Prime Minister is their enemy, and they will definitely not end well if they fall into the hands of the Prime Minister!

The army officer's parents also panicked, and they gave the army officer a piece of advice—

"Run, run far away, find a way to get away from Gafla!"

"Listen, you can only die here, but you can live if you get out of here!"

"He won't do anything to us, as long as you can run away and hide, they will forget all this one day!"

The army officer was so frightened at this moment that he even hesitated for a while!

His father saw his foolishness, "There's nothing you can do about staying here but humiliate them and let us watch them kill you!"

"Listen to me, run away, hide, or leave Gafla, go somewhere where they can't find you."

"quick…"

The army officer hesitated ~lightnovelpub.net~ and was dragged and dragged by his father into the basement.

Aristocratic houses will have a basement, and there is a large boiler in the basement to supply the heat needs of the entire house.

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety here, and to transport fuel without staining the carpet, there will be an opening in the basement, in a more remote place outside the house.

The old nobleman was very experienced, "There must be someone watching outside, and they will kill you tomorrow."

"Go out from here, crawl on the ground after you go out, and get up and leave after leaving the range of our house!"

"Bring this money and weapons, you will need them..."

In the darkness, the officer crawled out from the entrance to the boiler room outside the house.

It was too late, no one noticed that place...
