Chapter 609 Hercules
The prime minister's current behavior is actually quite sloppy. He clearly wants to drag all walks of life across the country to go crazy with him.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to provoke war everywhere and defeated Erebonia's international image again and again.
When Herrebonia was unanimously condemned by the international community, it would inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among the pro-war factions and hardliners at home. It was this part of the people the prime minister wanted to use.
We deliberately amplified the voice of the pro-war faction and guided the public to concentrate all hatred on the Kalwad Republic, which has hundreds of years of feud, and based on this, let the surging public opinion play a positive role in promoting its plans.
In such a situation where countries are unanimously targeting Ereponia, as long as there is a gap in the country, the Republic may seize the opportunity to instigate the rest of the countries to unite to counter Ereponia.
Ryan said helplessly, "What the Prime Minister uses is still a persuasive plot driven by the general trend. Even if we know his intentions and consider the overall situation of the country, we will not be able to make a desperate attempt with him."
Alisa clenched her fists angrily, "Are we just letting him lead the nose like this? Can we just follow him all the way to the future of going to war with the Republic?"
Ryan rubbed Alisa's hair and said in a deep voice, "Calm down, the Dark History Book should still play its role until the moment when dusk begins, but... I believe that after that, the real starting point of everything, let's be patient now."
"Snooze~exha~"
Alisa took a deep breath before suppressing the anger in her heart. Seeing her depressed look, she was obviously very unhappy that the situation developed according to the Prime Minister's intentions.
Irina shook her head, "Sure enough, I'm still not mature enough, learn more from Reinhardt."
"Stage success or failure does not represent anything. The ultimate situation is the issue that the superior should consider. You are still far from it."
"Hmph! You don't need to remind me."
Irina didn't care about her daughter's resistance, so she stood up and said to Ryan, "It's time for me to leave. See you tomorrow's banquet. I'll leave my stupid daughter to you and Sharon."
Ryan nodded funnyly, "I understand, please rest assured, President Irina, and..."
Upon receiving the gesture from Ryan's eyes, a faint light flashed in Irina's eyes. "The project is still continuing, and the Prime Minister should not have noticed it."
Alisa: "???"
Before Alisa could ask about the situation, Irina waved her hand and strode away from the mansion.
"Forehead……"
When Ryan saw Alisa's bad expression, he turned his gaze awkwardly. "I will naturally say when it's time to tell you, don't take this matter to heart."
"Hmph?" Alisa's eyes turned between Ryan and the smiling Sharon. "Forget it, Sharon, let's go, make the final preparations for tomorrow's banquet."
"Yes~ Miss."
Ryan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Alisa walking up the second floor.
Waving his hand to signal Lixia to sit over, Ryan asked in a low voice, “Have you noticed anything unusual during the shopping process these days?”
Lixia nodded seriously, "Yes, I saw an acquaintance in the city. He used to be a military personnel. According to the information sent back by Li Cao, he should now be a member of the Republic's special forces "Hercules".
"Oh?" Ryan twitched his eyebrows. "I've heard of this special forces. I heard that it has a comprehensive combat power that is better than the Red Constellation and ordinary members of the West Wind Brigade. Do they have any signs of launching it?"
"No." Lixia said thoughtfully, "'Hercules' seems to be planning to ambush in the imperial capital for a long time to carry out extremely secret missions. According to the colleague of that person's job, he has been working in the imperial capital for about half a year."
"Well..." Ryan touched his chin "that is, they sneaked into the empire not long after the end of the Civil War. What was their intention?"
Lixia shook her head, "I don't know, but if you think about it, you can infer...their purpose must be unusual."
Ryan nodded in a clear way. The situation in the Republic is not very optimistic now. While the domestic situation is still complicated, President Locksmith is willing to release Hercules, the ace special forces...
Squinted slightly, Ryan recalled the old fox he had met at the beginning, "If I expected it was not bad, they should have come for the prime minister, either assassinating... or collecting intelligence."
Although Locksmith was overthrown by the opposition in the country and basically no longer has the possibility of re-election, it does not mean that he is an incompetent person. It can only be said that the situation within the Republic is too complicated and chaotic.
This president must have known that the source of all the chaos in Herponia came from the prime minister, so he sent Hercules to the imperial capital to lurk. As for their joint method...
"sewer."
Ryan and Lixia both gave the answer, and Lixia solemnly said, "Heimdal's sewer history is the highest among all cities, and it has existed for more than 800 years."
"Well, the sewers in Ordis and the other three states were built in the medieval period, at most 500 years, and are completely incomparable to Heimdal, which is like a spider web underground."
It was with this complex underground passage that year that Emperor Hector fought against the clans controlled by the Dark Dragon on his head for several years.
I'm afraid even Yukint III, who is a royal family, dare not say that he fully understands all the structures of the sewer, and it is the most suitable place to be a joint of the underground party.
Ryan thought for a while and concluded, "Don't worry about them for the time being. Since these special forces members have been lurking for half a year and have not taken action, I guess their purpose should be to collect intelligence."
"Considering the future layout... let them take the Prime Minister's intelligence back and hand it over to Locksmith. Maybe I can explain it less in the future."
Lixia nodded gently, "I understand, I really didn't feel the sharp murderous intent in those special forces, let them go."
"Ha~" Ryan leaned against the sofa with her arms around Lixia's shoulders, with an interesting smile on her face.
"Heimdal has become interesting now. As the prime minister's minion, the Intelligence Bureau is not a vegetarian. I don't know when they will find a mouse slipping into their hometown. Let's wait for the show to begin."
...
On July 18, the first day of the Midsummer Festival in the Imperial Capital, the festive atmosphere of the entire Crimson Imperial Capital was completely set off.
Among the sixteen districts of Heimdal, except for the airport and train station, other areas have prepared holidays early.
The banquet at Balfrem Palace was in the evening, and early in the morning, Alisa dragged Ryan to Heimdal Airport to pick up people.
Alisa's grandfather Gun will come to Heimdal on the first day of the celebration. Although he did not receive an invitation from the royal family, Gun was originally a person who likes to be lively and playful, and he was not surprised by his arrival.
Although this former RF president is old, when Ryan sees him, Guen is still in good spirits and in good health.
"Haha! Reinhardt, I'm relieved to see you and Alisa get along so well."
As soon as Gun got off the spaceship, he patted Ryan's shoulder and laughed with relief, "So... to celebrate your relationship progress, I will take you to visit the Heimdal night in the festival tomorrow night..."
"External, Mr.?"
Alisha's kind eyes made Guen tremble all over his body, "Ah haha~ Just kidding, it's just a silence. If you are worried, come together, you are all adults."
Although Guen looks a little unreasonable, Alisa's grandfather is actually a very knowledgeable person.
He also met many old friends in Heimdarne. During the day, Ryan and others expanded their connections under his leadership.
