Chapter 200 The Duke and the Empire have come to test us

Steinbeck was a British man and a British nobleman.

A British nobleman was killed by the Russians in a British colony.

Contacted with the Juwen Island incident that has caused a stir in the past two years, this may cause the relationship between Britain and the Russian Empire, which had been gradually easing, to become sharply opposed again.

Members of the Russian royal family have suffered too many assassinations and have accumulated rich experience. The first lesson for all royal guards after entering the guard is how to deal with various complex situations.

George was not sure if there were other assassins at the scene, so George and Ekaterina returned to the "Dolgorukov" as soon as possible.

So when the Lion City Police Chief Andrei Martin came to the dock, the "Dolgorukov" had already retracted the gangway, and Yankov, who had changed into the uniform of a Lieutenant Colonel of the Guards, took the initiative Disembark and negotiate with Martin.

"Super Duke Yurievsky and Princess Yurievskaya were attacked in the Lion City, and the guards had to shoot. You can investigate the specific situation. There must be witnesses at the scene. I also I can go back to the police station with you to explain the situation, but the Duke and Princess will not disembark again.”

Yangkov refused Martin’s request to board the ship for inspection.

"Of course I will investigate the specific situation. The princess does not need to go to the police station. Super Duke Yurievsky fired a gun at the scene. He must return to the police station with me and cooperate with the investigation."< br>


Martin's attitude is very tough. If the super duke of the Russian Empire kills someone in the Lion City, he must also be bound by the laws of the Lion City.

“Absolutely impossible!” Yangkov sneered, looking at Martin with a look full of disdain: “Mr. Director, you are playing with fire!”

As a super duke, George, don’t say If he shoots and kills people in the Lion City, even in London, George has diplomatic immunity.

Ordinary people have the right to defend themselves when attacked.

George is a member of the royal family of the Russian Empire.

No matter how nice Martin says it, as long as George and Martin go to the Lion City Police Station, George will become the laughing stock of the European royal family.

"You violated the laws of the British Empire by killing people on the streets of the Lion City. Is Baron Steinbeck also an assassin?"

Martin would not be able to explain to London if he did not want an explanation.

The super duke of the Russian Empire was human.

Are the British aristocrats not human beings?

A baron is also a serious nobleman with a heritage.

“I don’t know whether Baron Steinbeck was an assassin, but Baron Steinbeck’s behavior at that time had threatened the safety of the Duke and Princess, and the guards had to shoot. Do they have to wait until the Baron raised his gun? Can the guards stop it?”

“Whatever you say, Super Duke Yurievsky, you must go back to the police station with me and cooperate with the investigation!”

Martin is not alone! Come, bring a team of policemen, all of whom are red-headed brothers.

British colonies were spread all over the world, and it was not enough to send all the British people to work in the colonies.

That's why India's status is so important to Britain.

Many jobs in the British colonies, such as police, low-level government employees, colonial servants, sailors, etc., were hired by Indians.

Let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness of these Indians. At least on the surface, they are indeed quite bluffing and well-trained.

The Cossacks in the Russian Guards are even more bluffing.

George's height has reached 1.8 meters, so the members of George's guard are at least 1.8 meters tall.

At the end of the 19th century, people were generally malnourished, and the average height of the Japanese was only about 1.4 meters.

The average height of Indians is not that high.

The three red-headed brothers led by Martin stood together with the Guards Cossacks, their heads lowered as a whole.

Although George did not equip all the officers and soldiers of Fu Tuan with pistols.

The Guard members have one long and one short hand, and are fully equipped with rifles and pistols.

Vladivostok is rich in furs, so the young men of the Guards each have a black bearskin hat, a long black woolen coat, and black high-top shiny leather boots. The price is higher than that of the poorly equipped red-headed third brother. More than one level.

Where Martin could not see, there were at least 4 heavy machine guns pointing at the dock.

Yangkov did not talk nonsense to Martin. His slightly raised chin, contemptuous smile and eyes clearly conveyed Yangkov's attitude to Martin.

Martin was so angry that his hands were shaking, but he didn't dare to be violent.

I won’t tell you the story about the old Tsar and the Queen of England.

The European royal families are closely related, and the Russian royal family and the British royal family are also related.

If Martin dares to use violence, it is hard to say whether he can keep George here. He, as the police chief, will definitely be at the end of his career.

“Can I ask a few questions to Super Duke Yurievsky in person?”

Martin takes the second best approach, which is the attitude to solve the problem.

But before boarding the ship, Martin still had to disarm the weapon.

This is understandable, George and Ekaterina have just experienced an assassination, and you can't be too careful.

The gangway of the "Dolgorukov" was finally lowered, and Martin and Yankov walked up the gangway together.

Martin's deputy wanted to follow, but was stopped by the guard's bayonet.

“Either you are the only one, or there is no one.”

Yankov made Martin realize what savagery is.

Where did this go? After boarding the ship, Martin realized why Yankov was so confident.

The gangway is located in the middle of the "Dolgorukov". After boarding the ship, two heavy machine guns, one on the left and one on the right, were pointed directly at the dock. Martin suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I didn’t use any force just now.

Otherwise George's guards would really dare to shoot.

Ekaterina was frightened and returned to the cabin to rest, unwilling to see outsiders. George received Martin in the drawing room of the penthouse suite.

“——The situation at that time was like this. I shot the assassin to death. Baron Steinbeck should also want to stop the assassin’s behavior, but his actions caused a misunderstanding among the guards. Out of humanitarianism, I could Give some financial compensation to Baron Steinbeck’s family, but my guards are not wrong. They are responsible for their duties and will not go to the police station with you.”

George gave Martin a real insight into the top Russian aristocrats. style of doing things.

Yes, that’s right, I killed someone, I admit it, I can pay for it.

But I was right, it was that guy who deserved it.

"This cannot be solved by financial compensation."

Martin was devastated. Several living lives were lost like this. You just misunderstood and it was over?

This is too barbaric!

“What do you want?”

George is not in a hurry, he has not figured out the identity of the assassin yet.

The assassin was short, dark and thin, and it was hard to tell who he was from the outside.

The population of the Lion City is very complex. There are many Chinese, Malays, Indians, and Dutch East Indians. The Chinese living here are as dark and thin as the Southeast Asians.

Most of the Chinese in Vladivostok are tall northerners. Even if they stand next to the Cossacks, there is no obvious difference in stature.

This is still under the premise of malnutrition.

I won’t talk about the current generation of Chinese in Vladivostok.

George is very sure that as long as the Chinese are given enough nutrition, the height of the Chinese will not be worse than anyone else.

"Your Excellency, please at least ask the guard who fired the shot to return to the police station with me and explain some of the situation, and I will ensure their safety."

Martin was as tactful as possible.

"Impossible, my guards will not follow you back to the police station. If you need them to explain the situation, you can ask here."

George did not give Martin any chance.

As long as George's guards are brought back to the police station, the Lion City officials will have a lot to do.

Even if Martin ensures the safety of the guards, no one can guarantee the loss of honor.

"Duke, I am not negotiating with you, but as the chief of the Lion City Police——"

Martin failed to achieve his goal, and his vicious look was revealed.

“Heh——”

George served tea to see the guests off.

Yangkov waved his hand, and two door-shaped guards came over, lifted Martin up from the chair, and dragged him out of the door.

"What the hell are you doing, get out of here, let me go, I will leave on my own -"

Martin struggled desperately, the two guards' big hands were like pliers, Martin couldn't do anything at all Break free.

The guards dragged Martin directly off the boat, but fortunately he was not thrown to the ground.

"Shameless bastards, you will definitely pay the price!"

Martin jumped to his feet and yelled.

The guard looked over with sharp eyes, and Martin hurriedly led the team to retreat.

If you don’t leave now, why don’t you stay and get beaten?

Although George did not get off the ship, St. Petersburg and London were quarreling over this incident.

After George was attacked, St. Petersburg immediately sent a telegram to London, asking the local government of the Lion City to ensure the safety of George and Catherine at any cost.

London's reply was harshly worded, requiring George and Ekaterina to voluntarily go to the Lion City Police Station and cooperate with the Lion City Police in the investigation.

St. Petersburg’s reply was only two words: Dreaming!

There are British Royal Navy warships in the Lion City. The "Dolgorukov" has finished adding coal and water, but has no chance to leave the port. Two British warships, one after the other, will "Dolgorukov" The "Rukov" was caught in the middle and could not move.

At present, wireless telegraphy has not yet been invented, and the "Dolgorukov" cannot contact St. Petersburg in time.

This stop lasted for a week. The supplies on the "Dolgorukov" were about to be exhausted, and George had to send people off the ship to purchase them.

After Martin left, a team of policemen were left on the dock, along with a team of British lobster soldiers. They stayed on the dock every day, waiting for George's guards to disembark.

Yankov gathered the guards, and his first words made George stunned.

“Brothers, the time has come for the Duke and the Empire to test us——”

This——

George almost blurted out the sentence "The king of heaven and the tigers of the earth".

But this seems to be true.

In addition to the salary of the Guards, George also gives each guard officer a private salary as a salary.

Not to mention the daily treatment of the guards, all are in accordance with officer standards.

The development of Vladivostok is getting better and better in the past two years. Many guards sent their families to Vladivostok and settled in Vladivostok.

They are also properly taken care of by the Vladivostok Municipal Government, and the standards for housing allocation are also implemented with reference to military officers.

So don’t talk about tests.

Even if they are asked to sacrifice their lives, they will not hesitate.
