Chapter 132 Choosing Cooperation
That night, Antigonus stayed in the study with the fellow cavalrymen who went out to collect information, listening to the latter's report.

The parliament of the Philippine Commercial Republic is divided into three major parties. These three major parties check and balance each other to prevent one of them from becoming big. Besides the three major parties, there are also several unknown small parties. These small parties In order to protect themselves, they can only rely on the wings of the big parties, so in reality it is still a three-legged situation.

Among these three major parties, the aristocratic faction headed by the Honorable Governor Hobbs is the ruling party, and together with their vassal parties control three-fifths of the seats in the parliament. ——The populist faction is not composed of members of the common class, but because they are close to the common people and often introduce laws that are beneficial to the common people but detrimental to the interests of the nobles, so they are called the populist faction; and the local faction, as the name suggests, is composed of Hill Island and Lund A party formed by the chiefs of the island's native tribes who have been fighting to improve the status of the native tribesmen.

It is worth mentioning that the native faction has always been hostile to the aristocratic faction, because the noble governor Hobbs has spared no effort to launch a policy of sending the native tribal people to other places for colonization, so as to make room for the nobles of the republic Activities such as enclosing land to build manors.This undoubtedly met with strong opposition from the local faction, and the voices for changing the honorable governor became louder.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the history of the Feron Commercial Republic.

In fact, the Ferron Merchant Republic is not the aborigines of the two islands of Ferrond. They are said to come from a continent further east. They were established by a group of nobles who were exiled by an empire on the mainland. These nobles relied on their powerful private soldiers and Commodities that the aborigines had never seen conquered the aborigines on Fair Isle and established the earliest port of Cerro, thus gradually mastering the entire island and sending immigration troops to the opposite bank of Rondo Island.

Under the threat of powerful force from the city-state of Sero Port, the natives of the two islands had to join the city-state. In order to appease these rebellious natives, the council established by the nobles jointly decided to recruit the chiefs of the tribe to join them, granting them citizenship and As a member of parliament, he won the support of the indigenous people.

And as the city-state gradually became a republic occupying two islands, the proportion of indigenous people in the population gradually decreased, and their threat to national stability became smaller and smaller. Also set the target on them.

After understanding the political situation of the Republic of Philon, Antigon fell into deep thought. Compared to the popular faction, Antigon believed that the local faction was more suitable for him to seek cooperation, because those guys from the popular faction stood behind the civilian class. , What they consider is whether this matter is beneficial to the civilians.The local faction is different. They really want to overthrow Hobbes' rule. Everything is based on the interests of the tribe, and there will definitely be good cooperation results.

……

The next day, in front of the gate of the house of the native leader Gauld, a man dressed as an indigenous man knocked on the wooden door. After a few minutes, a man walked out. He glanced at the person outside the door, with a strange look in his eyes. look.

"Which tribe do you belong to?" he asked, "What do you want to see Lord Gould for?"

"I'm from the Nars tribe. Our chief sent me to report to Mr. Gould." The man replied, and then took out an identity card from his pocket and showed it to the other party.

The servant who opened the door took the ID card and checked it around. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he nodded, returned the ID card to the man, and said, "Please come in."

The man nodded, and walked into the house under the guidance of the servants. Looking at the scenery behind the gate, his expression was normal, but he was silently remembering the passable route in his heart.

The man was not from the so-called Nars tribe. He was a member of the companion cavalry of the Kingdom of Macedonia. Under the order of King Antigonus, he disguised himself as an aborigine and entered Gould's house to make contact with him.And the identity certificate of this Burakumin was just bought from someone on the street.

In fact, the purpose of disguising themselves as natives was to evade the watchers. As early as when they moved to the new house, the guards of Antigonus discovered the people who had been watching them in the distance. He has never done anything to them—even though he has never touched them, Antigonus's sensitive nerves can still guess the identity of the person behind the other party.

The internal defense of Gould's house was very lax, and he didn't see five guards in armor until he walked to the living room. The servant who guided him walked away after sending him to the living room, leaving Herac Si stood alone and observed the furnishings in the hall.He found that although the aborigines here have accepted the cultural civilization from immigrants, they have not changed radically because of this, and their interior layout still faintly bears the shadow of aboriginal people.

After waiting here for about an hour, Gould did not come here, replaced by his butler, looking at the old butler with a goatee in front of him, although Hercules was a little dissatisfied, he still had a tone of voice. Respectfully, said: "Your Excellency, butler, my name is Heracos, and I come from the distant Kingdom of Macedonia."

"What?" The old butler was taken aback by Heracos' words. He widened his eyes and looked at the man in the aboriginal costume in front of him, only to realize that the facial features of the other party were indeed not like that of an aboriginal.

After a pause, he asked, "Then, Your Excellency Hercules, what do you want to do by pretending to be a member of my tribe?"

"On the order of the King of Macedonia, I would like to seek cooperation from your master."

"Looking for cooperation?" The old butler frowned. He looked at the guards who were faintly visible outside the door, thought for a while, and still didn't immediately call for someone to come in.

"What cooperation can the king of your country have with my master?" he questioned.

"It's about the honorable governor of the Republic of Philonia, Hols." Heracos replied, "But I think it's best for the noble master to talk to me personally about this kind of thing."

The old butler did not easily believe the other party because of the other party's few words. He thought for a moment and asked, "You said that you were sent by the King of Macedonia, so what proof do you have?"

Heraeus had expected this, he smiled slightly and said: "I have brought an autograph letter from my king. As long as I see your master and hand the autograph letter to him, I will naturally be able to prove my identity. "

Hearing this, the old butler fell into thinking again, and Heracos didn't rush him. After waiting for a minute, the old butler said: "I will report this matter to the master immediately. If he is willing to see you, then I will I will take you there immediately."

"I'll wait here." The Macedonian envoy said, then found a chair at random, sat down, and watched the old butler walk out of the hall.
