Everyone made a noise and looked at Gawain in disbelief: "To seek refuge with the fourth prince, wouldn't it mean betrayal...betrayal..."
"Betrayal of the eldest prince?" Gawain picked up a False Bay cigarette and said quietly: "The eldest prince is somewhere at the moment."
The room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, unable to give any reasonable advice, because the eldest prince was dead and the conservative party was leaderless. The second prince was now in power, and the conservative party just wanted them to get out of London.
Besides the Fourth Prince, is there anyone else in London who can help them?
Gawain is the backbone of the Benjamin family. Although he is young, he has already conquered other family members with his strength. He has never missed the development direction he set for the family.
It was also thanks to him that the Benjamin family took a crucial step - setting foot in London.
Now that we are facing a crisis, everyone is willing to listen to him.
Uncle Sears raised two questions: "Can the fourth prince accept us? Also, should we discuss this matter with other families?"
Benjamin's family was not the only one to set foot in London. The eldest prince gave up a lot of cakes and accepted friends from the north, which led to the arrival of new forces in all walks of life, including but not limited to tailoring, pharmacy, mining...
These northern nobles who came to the south also knew that only by uniting can they obtain more benefits, and they had already formed an alliance to advance and retreat together.
And Gawain is the key role in convincing them.
"Of course I have to say hello to the other families first."
Gawain lifted the quilt, put on his coat and said, "I'll go find them right now."
"Are you going now?" Aunt Colette asked worriedly: "You were just injured, you should rest more..."
"The priest's magic is very effective."
Gawain patted the bloody bandage on his head and said calmly: "I have recovered. Don't worry. Uncle Sears, you are an elder, please accompany me for a walk."
"good."
In the afternoon of that day, Gawain and his uncle Sears came to the residential area of northern nobles in London. The first person they visited was Baron Sandford of the Finch family.
"Russell! It's great that you're okay!"
Baron Sanford warmly entertained Gawain and Sears, and even gave him a kiss: "I heard that you were injured, and I was planning to go over to visit you!"
"It's just some superficial injuries."
"We've got some trouble," Gawain said.
"Is it the Kore Gang? They are so hateful!" Baron Sanford said in a stern tone: "Don't worry, I have mobilized a group of very capable young men from the north. They will arrive in London tomorrow. As long as there are
Without them, the Kore Gang won't dare do anything to us!"
With a frown, Gawain found that Baron Sanford seemed to have guessed the intention of his visit.
Obviously, Baron Sanford had already received the news that he had been injured at the construction site, so there were only two possibilities for Gawain's visit:
1. Organize manpower and fight to the death with the Kore Gang.
2. Avoid direct confrontation, withdraw from London or seek other solutions.
It is impossible to withdraw from London. The northern nobles finally set foot in the southern economic circle, how can they retreat so easily?
Since it's impossible, the only possibility is to find other ways out.
The Conservative Party is recently planning to drive the northern nobles out of London and take back the lost cake. They cannot help.
The Kore Gang are the lackeys of the Liberal Party. If they are suddenly targeted, they must have received orders from the Liberal Party. It is impossible to count on the Liberal Party.
In such a big city, who else can help them?
Fourth Prince, Arthur!
This result is not difficult to guess, at least Baron Sanford guessed it, so he used the reason of mobilizing a group of young men to prevaricate Gawain.
He did not want to join the Labor Party.
The Labor Party speaks for workers, and he is a businessman with a natural dislike for the Labor Party. In previous strikes, Sanford suffered heavy losses. Not only did he pay a lot of liquidated damages, he also raised wages for the workers and was forced to arrange dormitories.
And the canteen...
Who will be responsible for such huge losses?
Arthur!
Now if you let yourself go to the past with a shy face, wouldn't you become a beggar on your knees?
Absolutely impossible!
Sanford expressed his willingness to fight, which also proved that he would not defect to the Labor Party and that he would resist the Corre gang in his own way.
Gawain didn't try to persuade him, he just exchanged a few pleasantries, turned around and left the villa.
They then visited Congressman McIntosh next door. The McIntosh family is engaged in the liquor trade and is determined to sell the brandy brewed in the north to the southern market. The blue brandy that Levin often drinks is McIntosh.
Goods from the family business.
It tastes unpleasant and bitter, but it is cheap and easy to get drunk.
Councilor McIntosh was more patient than Baron Sanford. He did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, after carefully listening to Gawain's thoughts, he asked aloud: "Russell, do you think Baron Sanford can resist Corey?"
Help?"
"cannot."
"But I heard that he mobilized hundreds of thugs from the north, all gang members, and came to London as bakers..."
"It's useless." Gao Wen slowly shook his head: "That's just a number. Behind the Kore Gang is the Liberal Party, and behind the Liberal Party is the church. We have no church background and no support from the Prime Minister..."
"By the way, didn't Prime Minister Nicholas punish the Kore Gang two days ago? How about we ask him for help?"
"Congressman McIntosh, what do you think is the signal that Prime Minister Nicholas punishes the Kore Gang?"
"I have no idea."
"Prime Minister Nicholas punished the Kore Gang. It is very likely that the Kore Gang's recent behavior has gone too far, that is, the Liberal Party members have done too much, and they have been punished."
Gao Wen said: "This has nothing to do with us. It is an internal dispute within the Liberal Party, and Prime Minister Nicholas cannot help us."
"If you want to gain a foothold in London, you must get the support of the church. The fourth prince is very close to Archbishop Fowler. They have known each other since they were in New Ross City. They have a deep relationship and joining him is the best choice at the moment."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Both the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party want to drive northern forces out of London. This is a very normal xenophobic phenomenon.
The new king has just been born. He is healthy and young. He can still be king for at least a few decades. There is no need to run for king in the short term. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a period of peaceful development in the future, and the northern MPs have lost their value.
No one can help them except the fourth prince.
Senator McIntosh was still hesitant. He knew that the situation was very unfavorable, but he still had a glimmer of hope. If...if the northern boys brought by Baron Sanford could defeat the Kore Gang, they would not need to rely on anyone else.
!
Seeing that he was still unable to make a choice, Gawain did not force him. He stood up and said, "Baron Sanford will fail. Let's continue talking after he fails."
Next, Gawain and Sears visited more than a dozen northern senators one after another. Except for one or two who were willing to surrender to the fourth prince, the others were either resolute or wanted to see the situation again.
If there is no choice, who is willing to give up his dignity and become a dog?
After receiving the news, Ma Wei just smiled.
Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.
The psychology of luck is a very strange thing. People always imagine that a small probability event will happen to them, and they feel that they are the chosen one, so they make some irreversible actions, which they often regret afterwards.
This is also the reason why, as the saying goes, you should advise gambling but not prostitution, and you should advise prostitution not to have sex.
Gamblers will regret it, prostitutes won't, they will just want more.
At noon the next day, a train from the north pulled into King's Cross Station. Amidst the sound of the whistle, young men carrying packages got off the train one after another. Most of them were in their teens to thirties. At first glance, it was obvious that they were not...
Good stubble.
Their arrival also attracted the attention of the station police. When they came forward for questioning, they all said that they were bakers and had come to apply for jobs.
The procedures were complete and legal, and the police did not embarrass them. They followed them to the bakery and actually started the interview. The content of the interview was also very simple. You only need to report your name and the position you are applying for, and you will get a white uniform.
It's considered a job.
Looking at these young and strong young men who are definitely capable of fighting, Baron Sanford smiled. He had already prepared weapons, revolvers, sticks, machetes, and hundreds of them were fully armed. Even the police were here.
Not afraid either.
However, it was not the Kore Gang who greeted them, but the Royal Navy.
As night fell, the Royal Navy surrounded the bakery. As if they had received the news in advance, they launched a surprise attack. Facing the army, Baron Sandford was dumbfounded.
Ordinary members of Congress have no power to mobilize the army!
Mobilizing the military requires the Prime Minister's personal order!
That is to say...
The person who wants to drive them out of London is none other than Prime Minister Nicholas!
Baron Sanford's heart suddenly went cold.
He still has the confidence to use any means to fight against the Liberal Party, but if he competes with the Prime Minister...
It is absolutely impossible to win.
What's more, this prime minister was Nicholas von Manstein, who had the unanimous support of the king and the church!
What is this called?
The unity of politics and religion!
If you dare to go against him, you will simply become impatient!
With the sound of a gunshot, Baron Sanford reacted and quickly asked the young men behind him to put down their weapons and surrender obediently.
The Royal Navy is not a vegetarian. It should be said that it is difficult for gangs to compete with the army!
There may be exceptions in extremely chaotic areas, but in developed countries like the Kingdom of Windsor, the military is the ceiling of combat power!
To fight is to die!
Surprisingly, the Royal Navy only confiscated the weapons and did not arrest anyone. Before leaving, the naval officer patted Baron Sanford on the shoulder with a meaningful smile.
Baron Sandford stood stunned for ten minutes because...
As soon as the Royal Navy took the lead, the Kore Gang came to the door with the rear foot.
Both hands are empty.
The weapons have been taken away, how can we fight?
Baron Sanford surrendered, or collapsed. He thought it would be a head-to-head battle, but...
It turned into a duel between primitive people and modern weapons.
No, not as good as primitive people.
After all, primitive people had stone tools, but they only had two hands!
What a sin!
Facing the surrender of Baron Sanford, the Corley brothers did not kill them all, but followed Mavey's order and let them live.
The condition is to get out of London within a week.
After all, there were hundreds of people, and it was unrealistic to kill them all, let alone a baron.
Baron Sandford's defeat soon reached the ears of the northern parliamentarians. When they learned that hundreds of good boys had surrendered, the northern parliamentarians fell silent.
They don't know how to evaluate.
This was a premeditated action, but the other party was smarter than them, anticipated their possible actions, and used their power to crush them.
There was no chance to fight back.
If they return to the north, they are certainly not afraid of the sesame faces from the south. That is their territory, just like London is to the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party.
But this is London.
After a night of thinking, Gawain welcomed several guests and expressed his willingness to join the Fourth Prince, as long as the Fourth Prince allowed them to continue doing business in London.
Doing business in London is the dream of many businessmen. Although it is not full of gold, there are many more opportunities than other areas and you can earn more. More importantly, staying in London means you have the opportunity to step into a higher level.
No longer just country bumpkin nobles.
The real "expensiveness" can only be realized when you come to London.
Faced with the opportunity to change the fate of their family, many people are willing to lower their heads and be obedient dogs.
Where there are dogs, there will naturally be wolves. It should be said that there are only a few nobles who are willing to be dogs, and there are more nobles who are unwilling to lower their heads. They would rather leave London, or bravely carry on, than take refuge in the fourth prince.
Initially, the eldest prince invited them to London in order to gain their support.
Now, they went to seek refuge with the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince did not need their votes, as long as they were obedient.
One is qualified to negotiate, and the other can only be obedient. They are completely different.
In the north, I am used to being the boss, and suddenly I have to listen to other people's words. There must be some people who cannot accept it.
If he wants to fight to the end, Gawain will not stop him. His mission has been completed. This is a screening. Those ambitious and unstable elements have been exposed. This is enough.
The councilors and nobles who were willing to surrender had a meeting with Gawain. After careful discussion, Gawain approached Arthur with their conditions.
"They want to stay in London, not reduce the scale of their business, and at the same time no longer be harassed by gangs..."
Listening to the conditions of the northern congressman, Arthur smiled: "Go and tell them that I can agree to all these requests."
"Don't they need to do anything?"
"As long as a dog is obedient and doesn't bite people, it's fine."
Arthur sipped the wine and said calmly: "We have taken away their backbones and turned them into domestic dogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy. The goal has been achieved, and of course we have to give them some benefits."
Gawain nodded: "What should the priest do?"
"That's what he means. We can't kill all the capitalists, at least not yet. If we kill them, new capitalists will appear. In this case, why don't we let the domesticated capitalists reproduce?"
