Volume 3 Liberation Chapter 29 Tea and Fat Pigs

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Duke Franco, the imperial-appointed governor in Cassandra, is just as he seems, a stupid fat man - but if you just look at him, most people will be more surprised by his obesity.  And if you say something to him, you will find that stupidity is actually more dominant.

    In the mainland of Osa Empire.  The Franco family is a famous family with a long history.  Perhaps due to his ancestral upbringing, Duke Franco was unparalleled in his skills in using power for personal gain, speculation, and debauchery.

    However, as the saying goes, "Once the First Emperor has given this, he will not give it to that again" - perhaps this skill is too rich and takes up all Duke Franco's brain capacity, so that his talents in other areas are too low to be compared with  His status is completely out of proportion to his proficient skills in the drill camp - there is no way, the ancestral motto of the Franco family is "the way of civil and military affairs, one step at a time".

    But Cassandra is neither big nor small - after all, it is one of the largest cities in Emera. It cannot be managed by just relying on the common people.

    Although as a feudal country similar to Western Europe in the Middle Ages, the Osa Empire did not have a complete civil service system, the governors and lords could still set up staff to share government affairs.  Since the Governor is a fool in most aspects, then of course his chief of staff must be talented and trustworthy in the same aspects - and Count Pinoche is such a talent.

    ¡°Contrary to the Governor, Count Pinoche was a young nobleman with no deep roots¡ªhis father was a noodle seller. After saving a substantial fortune, he spent money to donate a title.  In terms of class composition, he is somewhat similar to the great nobles of Emera.

    The man destined to become chief of staff is not yet 40 years old. He has inherited his father's shrewdness and greed - and perhaps even more, because he is a man who is good at biding his time.  Otherwise, I would not have succumbed to this idiot governor and held such a thankless position as chief of staff - everything was almost taken care of, but the benefits were very few.  If the governor gets into any trouble, he has to help wipe it out, and whatever political achievements he gets, most of them will be blamed on the governor.

    "Signor Pinoche" the fat Governor said in a shrill voice, "Have you heard anything about the new drinks that have suddenly appeared on the market recently?"

    "Well, of course I've heard a lot about this." The chief of staff replied respectfully, "It is said that this thing called 'tea' is a product of the areas controlled by republican rebels"

    The impact of tea entering the Cassandra market is not limited to business: it has become a social phenomenon.  Citizens who were dissatisfied with the empire gave up the coffee produced in the empire and turned to tea produced in Emera.

    It is said that this drink called "tea" is produced in Emera itself, and it is also run by the Emera Republican Army under Princess Aria of Cassandra (the Emera people at the time  It is generally not known that the republican army has been replaced by epla).

    To support tea is to support Princess Alia, who fought for the independence and liberation of Emera - this is not only a manifestation of a political trend, but also a substantial help to the Republican Army (EPLA): after all, tea sales  The money ended up in epla's pockets.

    ¡°Drinking tea is an expression of stance and a simple and practical patriotic action.  For the chief of staff who needed to maintain imperial rule, the popularity of tea was obviously something to be wary of.  However, he did not order a ban on this drink, which had an unclear relationship with the republican rebels.  The reason is simple - according to his investigation, there seems to be support from Yusanjia behind this drink.

    "Perhaps, something should be done to curb the sales momentum of this "tea"" he thought to himself, "such as fakes, poisoning, etc After all, this kind of thing itself will also harm the empire's coffee."  Export - if the sales of coffee are affected, the domestic lords will definitely find trouble"

    However, it is easier said than done to curb the tea leaves - since the empire's consistent policy towards big nobles like the Yusan family is to recruit and bribe them, so although he is well aware of the Yusan family's secret moves  Obviously, but at least on the surface, he can't fall out with the Yusan family.

    Moreover, since the Imperial Army¡¯s regiment in the Emerald Colony was completely wiped out, his confidence in speaking in front of the Yusan family was obviously not that strong ¨C due to the autumn harvest, General Milburn¡¯s Imperial Seventh Army had to wait for at least a month.  Can't move out inside.  Considering the weather, it will probably take at least three months for the Empire's Seventh Army to reach Emera.  In other words, during these three months, all he could rely on were the 1,200 soldiers stationed in Cassandra.

    Although these soldiers themselves are?Elite mercenaries, but after all, they are still incomparable to the Iron Marquis' colonial regiment.  As for the knight Jiang Yucheng who came from nowhere and the "Guard Guards" he formed, even the colonial corps could be wiped out with ease. It would be no different for him to use these soldiers to challenge the unfathomable Jiang Yucheng.  To self-destruction.

    Based on the information sent back by his spies some time ago, the knight has now disbanded the original Republican Army and reorganized a new force called the "Aimela People's Liberation Army".  According to the last information sent back by the spy before his death, this new unit not only has a large number of more than 1,000 people, but is also well-equipped. They are all equipped with the same continuous-fire muskets as the previous "Guard Flag Team".

    The most important thing is that this army has the kind of monsters with long noses that were reported before, and there are as many as a dozen of them!  He could even imagine that in front of these dozen warcraft, Cassandra's city walls were destroyed as easily as paper by the warcraft There is no doubt that according to the consistent style of this army, these empires  The ruler will definitely be hung up by this army.

    But now, the Governor has no idea about "warning against the Republican Army" - he didn't even give the Chief of Staff a chance to elaborate: "Yes, it is said that the most delicious tea in the city now is from the Lubyanka Maid Cafe.  The work is great, I decided to go there to taste it the night after tomorrow to see what kind of magic this tea has"

    "Lubyanka Cafe" the chief of staff raised his eyebrows, "How could it be such a coincidence? There is no good place for this idiot to go. If you have to go there, this maid cafe is probably the nest of a gangster!"  Then should I dissuade you"

    "Wait a minute, what nonsense am I talking about?" Suddenly, the chief of staff had a flash of inspiration, "Dissuade? This is a God-given opportunity. Isn't it just to wait for such an opportunity?"

    So the chief of staff replied diligently:

    "I understand, Your Excellency the Governor, I will convey your intention to that store."¡ª¡ª

    £­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­£­

    "The governor is coming?" Jiang Yucheng said in disbelief.

    The black cat raised the letter in his hand impatiently, "This is a formal notice from the governor's office, asking us to be ready to receive distinguished guests To be an honored guest, there will be no one except the fat pig."  ¡±

    "That fat pig" is a common term used by the citizens of Cassandra to affectionately refer to their beloved governor - it must be said that this term is very appropriate both in appearance and inwardness.  This guy should be the main enemy of the uprising, but now he wants to come to Lubyanka, the uprising base camp, for tea!

    "It's really convenient to come uninvited." Aria said mockingly, "Now we don't have to deal with him. Then we can put whatever we want in the tea"

    "No." Jiang Yucheng interrupted, "This is too hasty. That fat pig will come the day after tomorrow. If we launch an uprising immediately, the union has not yet"

    Stepping on a landmine.  Aria pouted and turned her face away.

    "Oh, it's really troublesome" Jiang Yucheng sighed helplessly - now, the problem of trade unions has become the biggest shortcoming of the former Republican Army (or epla).  The lack of workers' pickets means the lack of an important new force. In the city, Aria will have to completely rely on the other two families of the Yusan family and their personal troops - this means that in the next negotiations,  , the chips in Aria's hands will be greatly reduced, so that she will have to be led by the other two companies

    "Your Highness, it's time for the second round of negotiations." A girl came over and said.

    "Let's go, Yucheng." Aria said in a stiff tone, still angry.
