Chapter 174 Jonathan’s aftermath
When Jonathan, in the name of the family head, ordered the private soldiers deployed near the family’s exclusive area to take down the disguised mobile troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and came to the manor for support. .
Although the number of rapid mobile troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs controlling the manor area is not too small, they also have mechanical units including heavy power armor and HCP.
But the private soldiers of the Irons family took out more HCPs as well as main battle tanks and heavy multi-legged tanks as fire support.
And with a look of 'You dare to touch my master! ’ After rushing over with a posture.
These soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' rapid mobile unit chose to lay down their weapons.
After all, the cost of main battle tanks is relatively low compared to HCP, so the major nobles have deployed many of them in their hometowns.
And the Irons family’s main battle tank still uses the relatively new T-89 ‘Revenant’.
The diamond-shaped turret is equipped with an electromagnetic reconnection cannon.
Although this type of main battle tank is currently in the battle order of the Star Dragon Empire's regular army, it is basically used as a surface defense force on the planet and an auxiliary unit in the brigade-level armored combat team.
But for the noble private soldiers, it is completely enough.
After the number is piled up like now, if the electromagnetic reconnection cannon is used to focus the fire on the HCP, the latter will not be able to bear it even if the deflection field is turned on.
What's more, the mobile troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are in an encirclement, and there is no depth of defense at all.
When you are attacked from both sides, it is normal to lay down your weapons and surrender.
We are all members of the Empire, there is no need to fight to the death.
"No matter what your comments are in the high-level circles of the empire, Mr. Amber, I still want to thank you for rescuing Isabel and risking your life to rescue me and my family."
Bring Barot, Billwater and After being temporarily imprisoned by soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and issuing a week-long curfew for the entire planet.
Jonathan Irons took Amber to have a conversation alone.
"These are all what I should do, your lord, Miss Isabel's business is my business"
Amber responded with a smile, not paying attention to the Earl's constant dancing. Corner of eye.
"So your relationship with your little girl?"
"A steely comradeship, my lord."
"That's all?"
Jonathan had ' written all over his face. If you don't believe it, the old father's intuition convinced him that the guy in front of him was definitely closely related to his daughter.
"Of course not." Amber gave a rare twist and scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Miss Isabel is also a shareholder of our company."
Amber did not intend to hide this from Jonathan.
After all, he is Isabel's father. In theory, it is only a matter of time before he knows this.
"Company? Shareholders?"
Looking at Jonathan who was full of doubts, Amber gave the earl a brief summary of Atlas's situation.
"Even Ms. Yuge invested in Mr. Amber. It seems that I still underestimated you."
Earl Jonathan leaned on the back of his chair. Originally, he wanted to chat with Amber alone. Get to know the young man a little better and ask about him and Isabel.
As a result, after chatting, I found that I seemed to understand Amber less and less.
But since even Ellenita has invested in Amber, it means that he has indeed gained the approval of the female elf.
In terms of investment, this female elf has always been known for her vicious vision.
"I can understand the mining company. After all, it is a rigid market demand and profit margins are guaranteed."
Earl Jonathan looked seriously into Amber's eyes, paused and continued:
"But in this case It seems that Mr. Amber is also a thoughtful person when it comes to setting up a private military company."
"It's just to make a living."
"Show it with you. With his strength and knowledge, I believe that Mr. Amber is not just a petty fool, but everyone has their own secrets, and I don’t intend to ask about them.”
Hearing this, Amber also breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, there are some things that are not suitable to be discussed in detail with this count, and he has not yet had time to compile this part of the story.
But Earl Jonathan’s next words were beyond Amber’s expectation.
"I have always admired Ms. Yuge in terms of investment. There is no problem in following her footsteps. Our family happens to have some spare funds now, so I plan to invest in your company."< br>
“Huh?”
Amber really didn't expect that this conversation would eventually lead to investment. He never thought about it at the beginning.
"Well, Sir Earl, our company is not listed yet, and the shareholding structure is relatively fixed."
"How many shares does Mr. Amber hold?"
“54.5%.”
“15 million Imperial Golden Dragons, in exchange for 4.5% of your shares, what do you think?”
When Jonathan opened his mouth, he had the demeanor of a 'boy giving away money'.
“Well, Lord Earl, you are not just taking advantage of me.”
Amber didn’t hide anything when she spoke. After all, this deal is indeed a bit deceptive.
You can publish a book called "Three Sentences, Let the Earl of the Empire Give Me 15 Million".
Not to mention that the other party is Isabel's father. If this guy finds out, tonight She might be torn to pieces.
"Actually, I don't care about these 4.5% shares. If I don't want to go through the process, I even plan to send the money to you directly."
"No, what are you trying to do?" "Picture What? Of course it is to give Isa a good home."
Earl Jonathan's tone was full of the old father's worry for his daughter.
“After this incident, I understand that the party struggle in the empire has entered its most intense stage. Even if I want to stay out of it like before, I’m afraid it will be difficult.
Moreover, your and Isabel's identities are still too sensitive in the empire. Both the regent and our respected princess will try to take advantage of you.
So I don’t want you to stay within the empire. It’s too dangerous.
I also recognize your ability. I think you do have the potential to make a name for yourself.
Based on the above circumstances, instead of letting you stay in the empire and worry all day long, it is better for you to make Atlas bigger and stronger in the Thousand Stars Empire, so that I can rest assured. "
After Jonathan said these words, Amber also understood what the old father was thinking.
Just seeing that the empire might be in chaos, he quickly sent his precious daughter out of this increasingly dangerous whirlpool, and also paid a sum of 15 million for living expenses.
The strength Amber has shown so far also makes him believe that it will be safer to keep Isabel with Amber.
However, as the old saying goes, ‘No reward for no work’, Amber was still a little unsure about taking 15 million from someone so suddenly.
Just when he was a little confused, he heard Earl Jonathan continue to add.
"Haha, in fact, Mr. Amber doesn't have to worry too much. These 15 million Imperial Golden Dragons are equivalent to selling a favor to you, a psyker, in case our Irons family encounters something again in the future. Difficulties, and I hope you can help again.”
"Deal!"
Hearing this, Amber said without hesitation.
That night, in addition to negotiating the investment of 15 million Imperial Golden Dragons.
Jonathan directly executed Balot and Billwater according to the "Basic Law of the Star Dragon Empire Nobles", which gave the nobility the power of self-defense and trial.
Then, in the name of the Irons family, the incident was made public, and the cause and consequences were specially presented to the emperor, the regent, and the princess.
A week after the incident, the reaction from the Prince Regent was as Amber had guessed at the time.
This matter cannot be cleared up at all. A minister of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs led his troops to appear in the Irons family's fiefdom without going through any formalities, and even made the decision to put the Irons family under house arrest. members’ behavior.
This is who washes the floor because they think their life is too long.
So Norton II issued a statement, expressing complete ignorance and sympathy for the Irons family's experience, and at the same time expressing support for the Irons family to severely punish these perpetrators in accordance with imperial laws.
The Princess Party took this opportunity to launch a new round of verbal and written criticism against the Regent Party.
As for the emperor who had been bedridden for a long time, Amber even wondered if he had not seen the news at all.
However, his current chief chamberlain still passed on his oral instructions to the outside world.
While the emperor expressed his anger at the occurrence of this incident, he also agreed with the Irons family to handle the matter on their own in accordance with the "Star Dragon Empire Noble Basic Law".
To be honest, Amber felt that His Majesty the Emperor's words only further revealed that his control over the empire was at a dangerous edge.
No department can give orders, and they just talk nonsense.
"What's going on in this country? I asked calmly, and I was lost in thought."
"Amber, what are you talking about?"
Isabel was standing on the balcony, watching the fireworks in the distance of the manor. , rubbed Amber's cheek.
Today is New Year's Eve. Amber, who had originally planned to leave a few days ago, stayed despite Isabel's persuasion.
“It’s okay, I’m rambling nonsense. Has Ellenita been contacted?”
"We got in touch. She asked us to have a good rest and pick us up in a few days."
"Okay, you have finished handling the matters at home, and you are indeed going back to the company. I guess over there There are still a lot of things to deal with."
Amber sighed, hugged Isabel tighter, and whispered in her ear:
"After that. Regarding this matter, I feel that the chaos caused by party strife within the empire may be accelerating again.”
“Oh, it’s rare to see you worried about the future of the empire.”
"You're wrong. I'm not worried about what the future of the empire will be like. I'm worried about the chaos happening too quickly. Atlas's strength has not grown and it's impossible to get more benefits out of this chaos."
"As expected of you."
Isabel turned around and held Amber's cheek.
"Don't think about these things today, let's go out and set off fireworks~"
She still didn't want to waste the rare rest time.
"Set off fireworks is no fun, I'll show you something more interesting."
Amber shook her head, showing a malicious smile.
“What?”
“New Year’s Eve~”
As Isabel screamed, Amber put her on her shoulders, and then Went back to the room.
I believe everyone has noticed that the second volume currently does not describe much about the battlefield, mainly because the original arrangement of the second volume was for the protagonist to start developing strength, farming, etc., and then wait for the internal conflicts within the empire to ferment.
After all, I want the protagonist's strength to grow in a way that seems feasible, not a plot where the fleet is full with just a few clicks on the panel.
If you like watching the battle part, you can develop it. The third volume is big do, special do, big fight, special fight!
