Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 74 The Governor who left a way out
  After leaving the White Jewel, the Governor passed through the barricade built by Purficott's guards, got into his carriage and left the pier that smelled of blood.

It has to be said that in just two days, more than two hundred people were killed here. The rich smell of blood has exceeded the limit that normal people can endure.

Not to mention a pampered civil servant like the Governor, even the knights and guards around Perficott couldn't bear it. At least when the Governor left, he saw some guards vomiting in a hidden corner.

Thinking of this, he almost felt sick, but he still resisted this disgraceful behavior and urged the driver to leave quickly.

The coachman obviously didn't want to stay in such a hellish place, so he quickly drove the carriage away from the dock and turned to another street.

Looking out the car window at the bustling and bustling city that was now only desolate, the Governor's face became very ugly.

On the carriage, the governor's secretary was looking at the governor with a worried look, as if he wanted to care whether the governor's trip had achieved its purpose.

He came with the governor, but he was not put in by the guarding knights, so he kept waiting in the carriage.

"Her Majesty the Baroness refused. You go back and inform all departments that they must cooperate with Her Majesty's purge operation to completely eliminate the independent faction in Xinshak City." Feeling the secretary's gaze, the Governor directly issued a new order: " In addition to the order, a report was sent to the mainland through the telegraph room of the Governor's Palace, informing the mainland of the assassination and massacre of Her Majesty the Baroness in Novishak City.

Don't add fuel to the content, just report it truthfully and see what the local response is. "

"Yes, Lord Governor." The secretary nodded in agreement. He was the confidant of the Governor, and these matters had always been entrusted to him.

Just as he responded, the secretary also said with a worried look: "Your Majesty Governor, if this Baroness continues like this, it will destroy the entire New Xia Ke City! It's just the impact of martial law on the market in the past two days. The loss has already reached nearly 10,000 gold pounds. If this matter cannot be ended as soon as possible..."

"Okay, shut up!" the governor cursed in annoyance, but then explained with a bit of anger: "I am the Queen's special and plenipotentiary envoy! A hereditary baron of the empire who can inherit the title at the age of fourteen!
  I am just a colonial governor. Regardless of my status, I am not qualified to stop someone from doing what she wants to do!
  Unless this matter is an order from the local people, with the identity and power of Baroness Brandlis, she can kill anyone she wants to kill! "

Even without the letter from the eldest princess, the governor would have no ability to fight against Perficott.

Although it sounds like the colonial governor is a high-ranking title, and he does hold the military and political power of the entire New World colony, but compared with a hereditary baron in the empire and a royal special and plenipotentiary envoy, it is completely worth mentioning. .

Colonial governors only enjoyed great power in the colonies, but the premise of all this was to obtain support from the mainland.

If the native land spares no effort to support, then the colonial governor can naturally implement his will in every corner of the entire colony.

But without local support, let alone seizing military and political power, I am afraid that even government orders will not be able to leave the Governor's Mansion.

Moreover, a colonial governor is important to the empire, but not that important. After all, there are too many people in the empire who are qualified to serve as colonial governors. Only the unlucky ones will get this position and be kicked away as if they were dismissed. Native colonies come. However, this position is not completely without benefits. At least for the governor himself, as long as he serves a full term without making any mistakes and properly safeguards the interests of the empire in the colonies, then when the governor returns to the mainland after completing his term, he will usually Everyone will receive a noble title.

Although it was just a title of nobility awarded, it had no fiefdom and could not be inherited hereditary, but it still symbolized the status of the nobility.

Therefore, governors usually still work hard to fight for the interests of the mother country and implement the will of the empire into all aspects of the colony.

The governor of the New World did this before, but now, along with the letter from the eldest princess, he had a different idea in his heart.

Immediately, he said to his secretary: "After there is news from the mainland, if we are asked to stop Baroness Brandlis' actions or let her go, then everything will be done according to the rules and business will be done.

But if the local people spare no effort to support Baroness Brandlis, then you should find a way to secretly contact the independent people, secretly let some of them go, and keep in touch with them, do you understand? "

"I understand, but why do you do this?" The secretary looked confused. He understood the first sentence, but the last sentence the governor said left him confused.

Hearing the secretary's question, the governor suddenly became furious. He hit the secretary hard on the head and reprimanded him dissatisfied: "If you weren't my nephew, I would really want to beat you to death! Why are you so stupid? !”

The secretary could only accept the punishment obediently at this time. After all, in addition to being the governor, the governor in front of him was also his mother's brother. He was able to get the job of the governor's secretary because of this relationship.

Otherwise, how could he, a newly graduated college student, get such a good job? Even if it was only in the colonies, he could be regarded as a member of the imperial civil servants.

As long as he works hard, when the governor's term is over, he can return to the mainland with the governor and enter the real imperial power structure.

Because of this, he has been studying hard, and has become more and more able to understand the governor's meaning, and has gradually become the governor's most effective confidant. However, this time he really failed to understand the meaning of what the governor said.

Facing his confused nephew, the Governor could only teach him patiently: "Baroness Brandlis's special and plenary power is to be responsible for the empire's Arctic scientific expedition plan. She is currently in Xinshak because of an assassination." The massacre of independents in the city was strictly beyond her scope of authority.

It makes sense for the empire to stop her or let her go, because being able to obtain special powers at her age means that she is deeply trusted by the royal family!

Therefore, the two decisions made by the empire are only based on the degree of her favor, and have nothing to do with us. Naturally, there is no need to express a position on this matter, it is just business!
  But if the Empire fully supports her, it means that what she wants to do is very important to the Empire, and this has something to do with us! I have to leave myself a way out! "

In the end, the governor still did not tell his nephew the contents of the letter from the eldest princess, and he did not want such a major secret to become known to everyone.
