Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 71 Assassination
  Everything was settled, and Purficott didn't say anything else. After finishing the meal, she left the restaurant directly.

Although this restaurant is already the best restaurant that James can book in a short period of time in New Xia Ke City, in Purficott's view, the chef's level only has some local specialties.

Just try it briefly, there is no need to pay too much attention.

As for other things, just leave it to Andrew and James. Whether they do well or not is not her concern.

All she wants is results. If they fail to achieve the results she wants, they will bear the corresponding price.

"Grandpa Afu, ask Samantha to send a guard knight to notify the colonial authorities and ask the governor to fully cooperate with them. At the same time, remember to supervise their progress." After getting into the carriage, Purficott did not immediately He left and explained his next instructions to the old butler beside him: "If Mr. Andrew does not achieve the expected progress, then he must bear his due responsibility for delaying my time and the progress of the entire project."

"I understand, miss, I will inform Major Samantha." Foster nodded clearly, indicating that he had taken note of it.

After the military reform of the empire, a military rank system was introduced. All personnel in the imperial military system have corresponding military ranks. Formal knights join the army as lieutenants when they join the army, while senior knights like Samantha are captains.

The military rank that Purficott's grandfather received as a Knight of the Order was Major General. If Purficott's father had chosen to take this path or her uncle had not died prematurely, the Brandless family would now be at least There can still be a general in the military.

But even so, relying on the legacy of the Brandless family, Perficott's distant cousin, Major William, still managed to reach the position of captain in the navy.

And he was not yet thirty years old. In addition to his personal efforts, the role of the legacy of the Brandlis family cannot be ignored.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to cross the threshold between lieutenant and colonel before the age of thirty.

This is just like the difference between a formal knight and a great knight. Some people may not be able to boast about it in their lifetime, but for some people, this is just a step in life.

Purficott had these wild thoughts in his mind. The steam carriage was traveling on the road. A group of knights followed the carriage in a guard formation. Pedestrians and vehicles on the road were actively avoiding it.

On the one hand, the two knights at the front of the team were driving away. On the other hand, such a large group of knights really made people feel awe.

As a result, apart from the escorting knights, a large space was soon vacated around Purficott's carriage.

But outside this free space, it was crowded with onlookers, and it felt like a crowded place watching the Western scenery.

Although this facilitated the progress of the Purficott carriage, it also gave opportunities to some people with ulterior motives.

"Is this the carriage?" In the crowd, two people with hatred in their expressions were carefully looking at Perfectcott's carriage and discussing in a low voice with the help of the crowd.

"That's right this car. The people over at the restaurant reported that this is a baroness and the Queen's special and plenipotentiary envoy!" One of them was secretly touching the weapon hidden in his clothes. Talking about the information their accomplices had learned: "I heard that she was hosting a banquet in the restaurant with a steel merchant, and some imperial military secrets were involved in the conversation. The people at the restaurant originally wanted to find out more information, but They were very defensive, so they just eavesdropped while the food was being served.

But judging from these news, this Baroness must have come to suppress our independence movement! We sent a special envoy with extraordinary and plenipotentiary power to the New World at this time. It seems that our actions have frightened the big shots in Langton! "

As he spoke what he thought was a reasonable inference, the expression on the man's face became somewhat excited.

"That's why we temporarily planned this assassination! As long as we kill this baroness and bankrupt the empire's plot, our uprising will be more sure of success! The new continent will definitely be independent. This is our new continent, and the imperial people will Get out!" His accomplices were equally excited and could no longer contain their excitement.

It’s no wonder that these two people are like this. The independence movement in the New World has been going on since the empire transferred the military expenditures of the war with France to the colonies. However, the empire’s military power is very strong, which makes everything possible. Suppressed.

But even so, with the prosperity of the New World and the oppression of the New World by the Empire itself, the voice for independence is getting louder and louder.

Especially as the younger generation in the New World grew up, some young people who were influenced by the success of the French Revolution gradually became the main force of the independence movement, and their actions became more radical.

This time they smuggled a batch of ordnance through some connections, planning to hold an uprising in the autumn.

The appearance of Perficott was regarded by these independent factions as the empire's suppression of them, so they launched this impromptu assassination, hoping to use this method to deal a blow to the empire and build momentum for their uprising. More people joined the ranks to resist imperial rule.

In their view, the person in front of them was a noble from the empire and the queen's special and plenipotentiary envoy. Killing her would definitely shake the empire's rule in the New World, and would also greatly damage the empire's arrogance and make more people People realize that an empire is just a rotten shabby house that can collapse with just one kick!

Now is a new era. If France can succeed in his revolution, so can the New World!
  With this thought, they each clenched their weapons and watched the carriage enter the ambush circle. After throwing a prepared bomb at the carriage, they immediately drew out their weapons and shouted "Long Live Independence" loudly. Slogans such as "Long Live Liberty" were fired at the carriage surrounded by knights.

In their view, the so-called knights are just useless things left over from the old era! What age has it been? They are still using such primitive weapons. Today they want to tell these decadent imperial people that times have changed!

However, to their surprise, although the bomb did explode, it did not hit the carriage.

Because the old man who looked like a noble butler used a sword he pulled out from nowhere to directly lift the bomb and let it explode in the air without any effect.

As for the bullets they fired? The knights drew out their swords one after another and knocked all the bullets to the ground.

　Sorry, I have a headache and a sore throat today. I think I have the flu. There is still another chapter until the evening.
