As a traditional and conservative aristocratic officer, the War Department's anti-V.E activities were also full of stale features. Until the Seven-Day War, there were not many large-scale anti-V.E elements, except for a certain die-hard confidant of the imperial family. The position of the soldiers is unknown, and the rest are scattered in the financial and diplomatic departments.

The financial bureaucracy was represented by former Treasurer Palticelli Emery, former Director of Taxation, Julius Olivier, and in the diplomatic circles Leopold Schübner, son-in-law of the late Count of Metternich and former ambassador to Castile. In addition, there are also some middle-level civil officials, veteran bureaucrats, and some religious figures, most of whom act spontaneously, and criticize and complain about the state in some dinners and small salons, and are at best loose groups.

But under the guidance of Viscount Cléonpaul, the Army's director of education, conspirators belonging to different departments were organized. Lüddes' private apartments, restaurants, bars, villas, and even brothels and theaters have become secret meeting points for anti-V.E groups. Most of them communicate with secret messages through guò codes, and each new member of the coterie has to go through strict scrutiny, even several tests of old members.

Frustrated politicians, declining aristocrats, third-rate civil officials, opportunists, disadvantaged soldiers, right-wing disgruntled youths -- these "wrestlers" who have been pushed out of the center of power and wandered on the fringes of mainstream society, who have been brought together by an ambitious royal family to keep warm, and who spend their days thinking about how to overthrow the current system and regain the "good times" of the old days, but they cannot even come up with a feasible plan -- this is the general portrayal of the anti-V.E conspiracy.

Up to now, Cléon Paul has organized several secret meetings of the conspiracy group in the name of "reading clubs" and "tea clubs". Some progress has been made in trying to win over more people who are anti-V.E to the V.E consortium and promote anti-V.E activities at the economic and social levels. But Creonpaul himself and his companions often make the mistake of not knowing whether to worry or to squirt: Emery likes to throw away the minutes of meetings he has compiled about the V.E. consortium's criminal record in the business world and collusion between government and business. Cleonpaul often walked in and out of the War Office building with a briefcase containing a top-secret plan to depose Charles IV and Richelieu. Unaware that Stasi and the "Black Room" had already set their sights on them, and that their rude behavior would sooner or later cost them a terrible price.

On the issue of secrecy, the "royal faction" composed of young and strong officers did much better than them. As terrorists, they take secrecy very seriously, and are therefore dismissive of the high-profile behaviour of other conspirators. The conspiracy of civil officials and aristocrats was dismissive of these petty officers, with their naked lust for power and unculturedness, coupled with some conflicts of ideas and the distribution of interests...... The relationship between these conspiracy rebels, who had completely different backgrounds, backgrounds, and political experiences, was not harmonious.

But now, two groups of people are sitting in a secret conference room under the garden of the War Department. The face was solemn.

The strong smell of gunpowder permeated the conference room. A spark splashing in has the potential to detonate the air.

"Attention, gentlemen. ”

A reddened young face made a sound, reminiscent of the face of a cooked lobster, and the high-pitched voice showed that his mental state was quite unstable. But the next remarks forced one to confront the young officer's talents.

"Killing Siegfried Otto Lilin is the most important prerequisite for changing the current situation. If that madman goes to court alive. His tongue will surely turn the courtroom into a lecture hall and a cult preachinghouse. At that point, we will be morally disadvantaged, let alone carry out further institutional reforms. What's more, most of the nobles had interests with him, and the people also profited from the operation of the V.E consortium. The survival of V.E is directly related to their vital interests. If that pig dies, there is still a chance that everyone will wake up and support our cause. But as long as Li Lin is alive, they will definitely have illusions in their hearts, and everything will not be done. ”

Therefore, Li Lin and his henchmen must die, take 10,000 steps back and say, if it is really necessary to pass a trial to end him, liquidate his crimes, the trial must also be carried out in secret, and at the same time, a group of doctors must be prepared to spread the news to the outside world: Li Lin's spirit has been confirmed to be in an abnormal state, and what he says is all nonsense, which is not to be believed.

Accurate foresight, very much in the V.E company's research report, the cold taste of realism, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the atmosphere of the new army officers in the new era. But the opinion of this knight of Jacques de Chaslong was not understood by the old tycoons. For those who have been entangled in concepts such as oaths, loyalty, chivalry, and the distribution of benefits for too long, it is too "excessive" to ask them to kill a goose that lays golden eggs.

"Knight of Shasron, I have to remind you that once the V.E company collapses, millions of people will lose their jobs, and the damage to the country's economy will be incalculable. ”

It was Emery who spoke, a cunning former finance director who had a clearer idea of how much V.E was supporting the country's economy. Reason told him that the impact of the collapse of V.E in the short term would be far beyond the limits of what the country could bear.

The unemployment of millions of people is only the beginning, the economy has deteriorated sharply, and social contradictions have become more acute. At that time, those power-hungry villains and sinister foreigners will surely take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and before they can toss a few times, the new government will collapse and be finished.

Although Li Lin committed the most heinous crimes, the huge industry and efficient system under his command cannot be ignored. As long as it is used properly, this huge asset can continue to bring great benefits to Charlemagne.

But the royal faction apparently could not understand the obscure economics, and Shaslon took the case and yelled.

"Even if it will cause temporary pain, the people will understand our painstaking efforts, and let those vampires continue to exert power on the head of the country?

"What are you talking about?!You fools who don't know how to learn!"

"Do you want to see what the color of blood looks like?!"

"Little bastard......!!"

The small conference room erupted like a pan of hot oil with cold water, and the argument quickly turned into a nasty personal attack, with several red-eyed attendees groping around their waists and hands, ready to escalate the battle of words into bloodshed.

"Shut up!!"

With a loud shout, and a loud bang that almost smashed the conference table in half, the noise in the conference room came to an abrupt end.

Glancing at the officers and gentlemen who were sitting back in their seats, the Army Director of Education, who was trusted by all the conspirators, said word for word:

"Before the change is in sight, there is infighting over a minor issue? What does this look like? Do you still have the consciousness of being an officer and a nobleman?"

The temperature in the conference room dropped slightly, and Cleonpaul pressed the urge to sigh and asked in a low voice:

"There is a lot of time to discuss the final settlement of Li Lin after the victory, and the core topic of today is -- what is the progress of the 'Valkyrie' plan?" (to be continued......
