As Li Lin expected, the pamphlet attacking Roland and Minerva's engagement quickly spread, and the spark thrown into the powder magazine successfully set off a storm.

In the beginning, the pamphlets were only circulated among the people, and the dissolute citizens of Lüdes secretly circulated small yellow books among themselves. Seeing that there was no movement from the royal family, the cardinals, and the V.E consortium, there was no movement from the heavily armed soldiers rushing into the apartment, and there was a roar of "check the water meter!" and "send a courier!", and then there was a loud noise of the door being kicked off, and the screams and shouts of men, women, and children were carried out, and the women and children were cried and dragged away by their hair, and nothing they expected happened. Everyone's courage suddenly grew.

No longer worrying about being angrily checked by the water meter during the family dinner, strong courier, the nature of gossip in the depths of human psychology is instantly activated. Family tables, factory floors, street coffee shops, bars, brothels, casinos...... Regardless of any place, as long as it is a place where more than three people gather, the poor and bored citizens will add oil and vinegar to the jokes in the small book, and tell them to those they know or don't know. And then they spread to other people, and then ......

In the end, the whole army that had a strong interest in politics also knew about it, and the army royal sect, which had been gradually forced into a corner recently, immediately clung to this seemingly weighty life-saving straw as if they had obtained a treasure.

Just five days earlier, Prime Minister Richelieu had formally submitted to Charles IV an "Opinion on the Rectification of Military Discipline," in which he exhorted the king that "the movement of the Army's zealous government is disturbing and makes people have bad associations" and that "some officers have nothing to fear." Words and deeds have gone off the rails," and he requested that an investigation team be organized to investigate and reorganize the army. As for the composition of the investigation team, except for a few old men of the army, who were either navy or Titans.

Obviously, Archbishop Li has exhausted the last of his patience and is planning a showdown with the royal faction. In the name of investigation, all the royal sects were cleared out of the army center, and then the influence of the royal sect was completely cut off.

When the noose around his neck suddenly tightened, the royal Dao faction naturally resisted desperately. Overnight, two pamphlets were widely distributed among young officers, one being "Key Points for Personnel Changes in the Army." The other is "The Great Rebellion of Warlords, Ministers, and Chaebols". Between the lines, it very well shows the delusion of the royal Taoist faction and the so-called "Qingjun side" thinking. Someone who had a little contact with Charlemagne's Army. At a glance, it can be seen that the author is a standard royal army officer, especially the arrogant short-sightedness, crazy death and inexplicable illogical way of thinking of the royal Taoist standard, which cannot be learned even if you want to.

The article states that the recent personnel changes in the Army "have abnormal interference from the outside." Bending the knee tolerates such a beak of the king's commanding power. tarnished the glorious traditions of the Army. and leave a legacy of great calamity for the future." They saw these as "a conspiracy by the Admiralty, the Titans, and the V.E consortium in collusion with foreign powers." It is clear that General Chahangargne, head of the investigation team and the new head of the Military Affairs Bureau, is the executor and central figure of the conspiracy". Therefore, it is necessary to "punish Shangargne who came in and carried out various conspiracies in collusion with warlords, important ministers, and chaebols."

This pamphlet is nothing less than a declaration of war by the royal prime minister. Archbishop Lai, who has always believed that "if you don't go with me, then let you go with the mother goddess", he was also unambiguous, and immediately asked General Shangargne, mentioned in the pamphlet, to wave the big knife of "personnel change" and slash at the head of the royal sect.

General Nikolai Anna Theodor Shangargne. Born in the Marine Corps, he worked for a time with Secretary of War Tellier. He is conceited, arrogant, and charismatic at the same time. The general repeatedly declared in public that "the state does not need a thinking bayonet" and was a hardcore anti-king. The Prime Minister's first move against the Royalists was to put Shangargne in the post of Director of the War Office, and another anti-Monarchist general, General Louis-Eugène Kafenyak, was appointed Chief of the Military Section of the War Office.

In accordance with the Prime Minister's plan, the new Department of the Army will have under its jurisdiction the Military Affairs Bureau, the Personnel Bureau, the Legal Affairs Bureau, and the Ordnance Bureau. As soon as Shangarne came to power, he set a fire on the fire, and General Titans, who jointly investigated the army, took advantage of the army's annual personnel transfer to make a long list of retired soldiers and distribution to the border, and the big leader of the royal faction, General Cleonpaul, the army's director of education, appeared in the first line of the retirement list, and none of the other members of the royal faction who jumped up and down on weekdays were left behind, either retiring from active service or going to the border to guard the bunker.

Cleon Paul, who was asked to retire early and go home to carry his grandson, naturally refused to comply, and the other members of the royal road sent other members to find a relationship separately, hoping to persuade Charles IV to instruct him to cancel this arrangement. But what they didn't know was that the transfer was implicitly supported by the king, and Charles IV had always been dissatisfied with the dangerous influence of Cléon Paul on the young officers, and had long been sideways to the private relations between the director of education and the crown prince. As soon as the Prime Minister dismissed Cleon Paul's request, His Majesty the King immediately dismissed him. The next morning, the War Office issued an order for the removal of Cleonpaul, who was succeeded by General Jacques Leroy de Saint-Arnault.

After the fall of Cleon Paul, the relationship between the royal faction and the ruling faction, the navy, and the Titans deteriorated further, and the young strong officers of the royal faction pointed the finger at Shangalgne. In the middle of the night on the 23rd, Sir Alfred Dreyfus, stationed in Massilla, came to the War Office and demanded that Shangarne retract his order and resign, but when he returned to his hotel to return to Massilla the next day, he received an order to transfer to New Devil's Island. Enraged, Dreyfuston forgot Cleonpaul's warning, and responded in a very royal manner to General Shangargne's punishment - Heavenly Punishment.

That night, Dreyfus, armed with a long sword, broke into Shangarne's office. At that time, Gargne was listening to the report of the secret agent of the investigation team, and when he saw Dreyfus breaking in murderously, he shouted and asked, "What are you doing?!" Dreyfus did not answer, and aimed a sword at the general who stood up. Although he sat in the office for a long time, he finally didn't lose his old foundation, and quickly avoided this thorn, and when he was about to launch a magic self-defense, Dreyfus, who served as the army's sword instructor, did not give him this opportunity. Rushing up, he slashed at the back again, and the general fell to the ground in response. In order to confirm Shangalgne's death, Dreyfus added another sword to his throat, and then swung his sword straight into the back, piercing the chest and nailing it to the floor, resulting in the "leading brother" of the Rulers. It was only at this point that the War Department guards, who heard the fighting, arrived and arrested Dreyfus, who was standing still.

Just as there must be a drum beating before the circus opens, so the Dreyfus case is like an opening teaser, a sign of Charlemagne's turmoil in the coming days and years to come. (To be continued......)
