I Stand For Justice In The Marine

"What a disgrace, Mankenpass!"

Duke Atawa's expression was dissatisfied, and he scolded in a deep voice: "Colonel Cross is the future star of the Marine, and he will definitely become a high-level Marine in the future. Don't be arrogant just because you are a prince!"

Hearing what the eldest prince said, Cross felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect the other party to praise him so much. It seems that after killing Moria, he still has a bit of prestige!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel complacent.

"Shout~ Don't teach me a lesson. When this guy becomes Vice Admiral of Naval Headquarters, or even Admiral, I might buy him a glass of wine!" The Marquis of Mankenpass looked at Atta provocatively with a look of disdain on his face. Duke Va and Cross.

"you……………"

Duke Atava's face darkened, embarrassing and angry.

"That's right, when I get promoted to the position of Vice Admiral in the future, I will definitely come over and ask for a drink!" Cross didn't care about the provocation of the Marquis of Mankenpass, but responded with a smile.

For Cross, big fists are the key, and he doesn't care about status.

On the contrary, through the conversation just now, he could see at a glance the serious discord between the Duke of Atava and the Marquis of Mankenpass.

As brothers, these two were so discordant in front of him, an outsider, that even Count Uzir Laert and Marquis Lilda Basharra did not stop them. The struggle between the aristocratic factions has reached the point where it's like fire and water, and it's almost a complete tear.

In fact, the struggle between factions generally only has three points. The first is contradictory interests, the second is different ideas, and the third is deep hatred.

The royalist faction represented by the Duke of Atava and the aristocratic faction represented by the Marquis of Mankenpass are no exception. The three percent point accounts for at least the first two points. This is also a very common battle between the royal family and the nobles.

However, the emergence of the Roberts Legion allowed the Royalist faction and the Noble faction to put aside their mutual hostility and join hands to fight against the enemy.

However, the appearance of Cross on behalf of Marine has become a third-party force intervening in the Bion Kingdom, breaking the weak balance between the two parties.

After an anticlimactic battle last night, Sakazuki learned that Roberts's army had retreated, so he did not continue to rush to Doma City. Instead, he waited for the main force of the Marine Crusade Fleet to land today, and then led the army slowly approaching Doma City. Sandwiched the Roberts Legion in the middle.

However, due to the hostility of the Bion Kingdom, Sakazuki did not rush to launch an attack, but appointed Cross as the Marine contact person, who was solely responsible for the alliance with the Bion Kingdom.

However, Cross did not expect that the hostility toward Marine within the Kingdom of Bion was very serious. Even though the enemy was at hand, there were still many people who refused to ally with Marine. The Roberts Legion fought and was unwilling to intervene in it.

This made Cross very confused. In the war between the Kingdom of Bion and the Roberts Legion, the Kingdom of Bion was obviously at a disadvantage. With the help of Marine, the two sides would definitely be able to defeat or wipe out the Army of Roberts. This is absolutely true for the Kingdom of Bion. All benefits and no harm.

But it seems that some people don't understand this truth, and it seems that they don't understand the meaning of lips dead and teeth cold.

This reminds Cross that in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, after the Qing army entered the customs, the clan of the Ming Dynasty formed multiple regimes in the south, but they fought among themselves.

Once a Han army was besieged by the Qing army outside a city. Obviously, the army inside the city could go out to rescue and join forces with the Han army outside the city to defeat or repel the Qing army outside the city, but because that army did not belong to the same Ming army. The officials in the city just sat back and watched the other side be annihilated by the Qing army.

Then the Qing army wiped out the Han army outside the city, turned around and broke through the city, and massacred the people in the city, but the officials in the city were so loyal, some died in manpower battles, and some committed suicide by jumping off the city.

Such a contrast is really too ironic.

Just as Cross was thinking about how to break the situation, the Duke of Atava and the Marquis of Mankenpass said something unknown and started arguing again.

"It's the ancestor's decision not to deal with the world government, my dear brother Wang, are you going against the will of the ancestors|||?"

"The past was the past, and the present is the present! The enemy is now, and I am responsible for all the people!"

"Stop talking big, you are not Doma VIII!"

"I am the first in line to the throne! The Duke of the Kingdom! Unless I die, it will not be your turn to inherit the throne!"

"You know that my father wanted to make me a duke, and then my father was assassinated suddenly. Everyone suspected that you did it. You are not qualified to be a king!"

"You are framing! It is clear that the nobles behind you want to open up a new port and gain more benefits, but the father disagrees, so you are the most suspicious existence!

"Fart! That's because your governing philosophy is wrong! 【Reclusive and self-development】, this kind of philosophy is simply ridiculous!"

The quarrel between the two became more and more intense, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet.

Cross listened to the mutual accusations between the two sides, but he didn't expect that there were so many secrets behind the assassination of King Doma VII.

Now he also understands why Mankenpass has the title of 'Marquis'.

According to the practice of the Bion Kingdom, there can only be one 'Duke', that is, the first in line heir to the throne, and there are only two 'Marquises', who are clearly the people who hold the positions of the 'Admiral Army' and the First Consul'.

The purpose of conferring titles in this way is to demonstrate the dignity of the above three people. Even other princes and princesses can only stop at the title of 'Earl'.

However, Mankenpass became the third 'Marquis', obviously very different from the practice of the Kingdom of Ang.

Therefore, from this point of view, Doma VII must be very fond of Mankenpass, and it is very possible that he even wants to pass the throne to Mankenpass.

Therefore, after the Duke of Atava knew about it, he ordered the assassin to assassinate Doma VII before he passed the throne to Mankenpass. The reason is very sufficient.

But in the same way, Yixiantian Port was originally in the hands of the Doma royal family, so it gained great trade benefits. (Qian Qianzhao) But the nobles of the Kingdom of Bion were unwilling to eat only a little profit residue, and wanted to reopen a new port to obtain more benefits, so they elected the Marquis of Mankenpass to the position, and sent people to assassinate the opposition Doma VII, who opened up a new port, also had good reasons.

It's just that in Cross's view, although Doma VII opposed the interests of the aristocracy, he violated the convention and conferred the title of "Marquis" on Mankenpass. Naturally, he loved Mankenpass very much, and it was even possible that he was I want the other party to inherit the throne.

Therefore, the nobles who support the Marquis of Mankenpass only need to wait for him to take the throne, and the interests they seek will naturally be realized, and there is no need to take the risk of assassinating the king.

From this point of view, the Duke of Atava is more suspicious.

Of course, the possibility that the killer was sent by the Roberts Legion cannot be ruled out.

Maybe Bartholomew sent a killer to assassinate King Doma VII in order to plunge the Kingdom of Bion into chaos and facilitate the invasion of the Roberts Legion!
