Blackstone Code

Any problem is a minor matter until the death of the person involved occurs.

But once someone dies, the problem becomes troublesome!

The sound of gunfire seemed to still echo over the port. An army officer had a gloomy face, his hands were shaking slightly, and the pistol in his hand was smoking.

There was a gash on his forehead, a broken brick at his feet, and a fallen Marine.

It only takes a second for people to imagine what is happening.

The poor navy soldier broke the Army officer's forehead with a brick. He probably wanted to hit him a few more times, but the Army officer pulled out his pistol!

The blood on the ground slowly spread to the surroundings along the gaps under the century-old bluestone bricks of the port, and the army officer's hands became even more trembling!

He also knew very well what would happen next. He forced himself to insert the pistol into the holster, then turned around and wanted to leave!

If you don’t leave at this time, you might not be able to leave.

The military policemen who were pushed to the ground and hammered struggled to get up from the restraints of the army or navy. They chased the officer, and then... the navy!

"He killed Tom!"

A naval soldier shouted loudly. Listening to his voice, it was like a knife had been stabbed into his heart!

He squatted beside the naval soldiers on the ground, as if he wanted to do something, but looking at his comrades on the ground who had begun to twitch and vomit blood, he knew that no matter what he did now, it was too late!

"We can't let him go!"

"catch him!"

The army also reacted at this time, and the best way now is to let the officers leave first.

As long as the scene is not caught, and it is so dark now, who knows whether that person is a fake army officer?

Maybe he was a Pengeo man pretending to be a man, just to cause chaos among them!

The army blocked and the navy pursued, and the conflict began to escalate.

Although no one of them used a gun, everyone no longer had any reservations about taking action!

Ten minutes later, the Minister of War, who was entertaining, received a call.

After a brief silence, he ended all social interactions early, without even making a phone call, and drove directly to the Prime Minister's residence.

On the other side, the Minister of the Navy was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

He ended the call with "I got it" and he didn't give any feedback, advice, or how to deal with it.

He dismissed the person who notified him with just "I got it."

He is also socializing.

It's interesting to say that the more serious the situation in Gefra is, the more entertainment there is on the island.

The Minister of War's entertainment was because the Army wanted to build two coastal defense lines at the eastern port and the western port of Gefraben Island.

Building fortifications requires a large amount of building materials and a large number of workers. These are rare opportunities for merchants and other nobles who rely on these businesses to make money!

They hope that the Army will be able to choose to purchase its own construction materials or hire its own companies, which will also allow them to have more profit margins.

The Minister of Construction is also here. Because the cabinet assigned the task to the Army, so the Minister of Construction also wants to get some benefits, so he must be here!

The Minister of the Navy is probably in a similar situation, including shipyards, brokers, and overseas weapons companies, such as the federal Schepp Ship.

The Navy has received a large budget. The Minister of the Navy not only has to place orders with shipyards to build various warships and arms dealers to build various mines, but also purchases a large amount of war equipment from the federation for war.

In order to obtain part of these orders, domestic and foreign capitalists and their representatives gathered here.

"what happened?"

When the Minister of the Navy returned to the living room from the phone, one of his main supporters, the great nobleman of the empire, asked in a low voice.

Because the Admiralty's expression was obviously very happy, and he was in a much better mood than he looked just now.

The Minister of the Navy recounted what was happening outside in a low voice, and the nobles were stunned for a moment after hearing this.

The problem between the army and the navy has existed since the middle and late stages of the last world war.

While the navy continues to win, the army has been unable to expand its situation well. More importantly, the navy can easily allow wars to take place on the home soil of hostile countries, but the army cannot expand this advantage.

Just like their fight with the Pengeo Empire in the last world war, the navy blocked several important seaports of the Pengeo Empire and then bombed their port cities indiscriminately.

Logically speaking, at this time the army can land without injury and obtain stable supplies. With just a little effort, they can cause fatal damage to the Pengeo Empire!

But the result was that the army tried several times to penetrate deep into the interior, but was pushed back by a blast. This made all the previous victories of Gevra's navy have little practical significance!

In other battlefields as well, the navy gave the army a chance to land, but the army was driven back after landing.

The Navy believed that the Army's incompetence had hindered the Navy's efforts, so that even though they had won the greatest victory, they did not get any substantial benefits in the end!

Even the Pengeo Empire has said that it will either end the war painlessly or you will continue to bombard us!

How strong the navy is, how weak the army is!

In addition, the naval generals are basically loyal to the royal family, a force that only emerged in the "modern" period of Gefra's history.

Their existence defends the power of the royal family and is a key force for the royal family to ensure its rule. Therefore, neither the army nor the nobles like the navy that much.

Even now, even though the nobles and the navy minister are trying to do something, the navy generals still don't quite obey their orders.

The target of the navy's allegiance is the royal family. Now that the royal family has basically fallen, the naval generals are united by themselves.

The hands of the Lord Admiralty and these great nobles cannot yet reach into the core of naval power.

For the Lord of the Admiralty, a group of disobedient admirals is not what he wants!

And this time the conflict between the navy and the army can give him a chance to gain actual power from the navy!

The reason is actually very simple. As long as the Minister of War can withstand the pressure, he will have room for practical operation.

And he also believes in this. The Minister of War will definitely be able to withstand the pressure. After all, he has a good grasp of the mentality of these great nobles.

The Prime Minister had actually fallen asleep at this point, and the number of things that Gaevra needed to deal with during this period of time had decreased a lot.

Amelia is completely out of the control of the main island. Currently, the governor is the main one there to carry out passive defense around the entire mountain range.

They didn't think about counterattack or anything, as long as they didn't let the Pengeo people enter the mountains.

With their natural geographical advantages, they have also achieved this!

There are traps and mines everywhere, and the undulating mountains are beyond human power. It is basically impossible to break through the mountain defense line with heavy firepower blockade and layers of obstacles.

The situation in Amelia showed no further deterioration, so naturally there was no need for him to do anything.

On the island, the army did what the army wanted to do, and the navy did what the navy wanted to do, so he became more relaxed.

At this time, he was close to seventy years old, and his age was not forgiving. Originally, he did not think that this war would last so long.

According to his opinion, he should retire as well...

It's just that things are changing faster than planned, so he can only bite the bullet and continue to hold on.

Sometimes he even wonders, would it be better if the people outside holding high the slogan "Prime Minister resigns" could really succeed?

He has purchased Gaevra's mess!

If he could get out of here all at once... In the end, he chose to persevere silently!

Whether it was for himself, to prove that he was right in overthrowing the royal rule, or for the people of this country, he had to persist.

As people get older, they sleep less.

The sleeping Prime Minister suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the almost non-existent door crack on the floor and the light coming in from outside the door crack. He sat up slowly.

The movement he made alarmed his wife, who turned around and looked at him doubtfully.

The Prime Minister waved his hand, turned around and stood up with his clothes on, "I heard footsteps, maybe something happened."

He explained, and then walked to another door, which was a small study room.

As soon as he entered the room and carefully closed the door, footsteps came outside.

The old housekeeper knocked on the door. He sat on the sofa and responded.

"come in."

The old housekeeper opened the door, but no one came in. "The Minister of War wants to see you, sir."

The Prime Minister sat back on the sofa and sighed heavily, "Send him a pot of tea and ask him to wait for me in the study."

A few minutes later, His Excellency the Prime Minister simply changed into comfortable home clothes instead of pajamas and came to the study.

There was still a trace of heat rising from the teacup on the table. The Minister of War was sipping tea. When he saw the Prime Minister coming in, he quickly put down the teacup and stood up.

The Prime Minister raised his hand and pressed it softly, walked to the desk and sat down, taking a sip from the tea cup.

"What's the matter, so urgent?"

He glanced at the clock and said, "It's already past ten o'clock."

The Minister of War lowered his eyebrows and sat back, waiting for a few seconds. "The Army and the Navy started fighting over at the port because of two women."

When the Prime Minister heard this, he didn't think there was any big problem or serious consequences.

The island is under great pressure right now, and everyone's emotions are tense. The frequency of various cases has increased significantly during this period.

The entire society is like a huge pressure cooker. If the pressure is not released, it will explode.

The navy and the army have not dealt with each other for many years. Now, a fight will not only do no harm, but will allow both sides to vent their inner pressure.

But the Minister of War's next words caused the Prime Minister's expression to change drastically!

"A navy soldier died..."

The tea cup in the Prime Minister's hand shook, and some tea fell on the table!
