In the mansion, old Duke Crowley received the results of the no-confidence vote and became nervous after discovering that Mavey and the cabinet he formed had not resigned.
If Mawei leaves the field, the storm will be delayed, and judging from the results, Mawei is obviously ready.
One year, he only used one year!
Who would have thought that Nicholas, who came to London a year ago with no background or support, could develop to such a powerful position?
"Destiny...ahem!"
The old Duke Crowley, who was not a religious man, had doubts about the existence of fate for the first time. He felt that he was old and could no longer see the situation clearly. What happened to Mavey could only be described as a miracle.
Boom!
There was a knock on the door, and Toure, wearing a straight military uniform and epaulettes, walked in with a military cap and said to old Duke Crowley sitting behind the desk: "Father, you are looking for me."
"Have you heard from him?"
"not yet."
"That's almost it. This is a game. In addition to eliminating dissidents, he is also targeting Baron Frederick. Baron Frederick took the bait. Now you have become the supreme commander of the Navy..."
Opening the drawer, old Duke Crowley took out a document with trembling fingers, hesitated for a moment, and threw it in front of Toure.
Picking up the document and looking at it, he found that it was densely filled with names and titles, many of which looked familiar. Toure couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Father, what are you..."
"Although you are an admiral, your foundation within the Royal Navy is not stable. The surviving crew members alone are not enough to completely control the Royal Navy. Take this list... Take it, contact them, and say
Old Rooney has something to ask me."
"Father..."
Touré was a little moved. He knew that this was the old team accumulated by the Crowley family in the Royal Navy. How could the old Duke Crowley, who had served as First Sea Lord for many years, not have any connections at all?
The Crowley family has shown kindness and support to many people.
Now, it's time for them to repay their kindness.
Anyone who receives the message and still misses the kindness of old friends and bosses will definitely come to attend the appointment.
With their help, Toure will be able to take full control of the Royal Navy!
This also means that his father, who has always been unsupportive of his plans, finally relented!
Old Duke Crawley saw hope.
He staked the fate of the Crawley family.
"Don't get too happy too early. The more critical the moment, the more calm you have to be."
Old Duke Crowley warned: "What you have to do now is to summon these people and explore their voices. Don't reveal their true purpose easily. You can only tell the actions to trustworthy generals, and at the same time, use the hands of the investigation team to
Get rid of all those generals who are loyal to the king and loyal to the Liberal Party!"
"In addition to placing your own people in those key positions, you also need to carefully consider the defense map on the day of the operation. Leave important areas to trusted generals, block off the streets, and pay attention to casinos and alleys! To deal with soldiers, you need to shoot more
Reward them with money, use official positions to seduce them, promise them to be promoted to a higher level after finishing the work, don’t give them time to think about it! Use money to stun them!”
As he spoke, old Duke Crowley threw out a bunch of keys: "There is a large amount of cash in the family vault. Take it all out and invite the families of these soldiers in the name of a picnic. Don't be stingy with money, and be ruthless in dealing with unsettled elements! Determined.
Don’t be merciful! Send reliable people to do it!”
"I understand, Father."
Touré took the key and saluted the old Duke Crowley: "I will not let you down."
"Um."
Old Duke Crowley stood up tremblingly, walked to Toure, looked up at his son's resolute eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Use the investigation team to deal with low-level generals, and don't move high-level generals to avoid suspicion.
.”
"I cannot completely control the army without getting rid of them."
"On the day of the operation, I will invite them to my home." Old Duke Crowley said: "They will not affect you. You can directly take over the army with the Prime Minister's decree. He has this power."
"Remember, son, this operation..."
"You can only win, not lose!"
.....................................
October 29, Navy Headquarters.
According to the wishes of the old Duke Crowley, Toure sent invitations to the generals on the list, asking them to come to the naval headquarters to attend a meeting in the name of defense arrangements.
The scheduled time was 4 p.m., and Toure had been waiting in the conference room at 3 p.m. He looked at the empty seats with a solemn expression.
He didn't know how many people would come. The Crowley family had been in high positions for many years and had indeed cultivated a large number of talents, but in the face of a tense situation, who didn't want to protect themselves?
Those who know how to repay kindness are rare, and those who are willing to abandon everything to participate are even rarer.
As time passed by, the clock on the wall kept beating. Suddenly, crisp footsteps sounded in the corridor. Toure opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
He wants the people on the list to be there.
The door opened and the assistant came in with a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Toure. Toure was a little disappointed and sighed. He was about to pick up the cup when he suddenly found a person standing at the door.
"Uncle Freddy!"
Touré stood up immediately and was a little surprised when he looked at the slightly elderly man in front of him. Although he only had the rank of lieutenant colonel, he still showed respect to him.
"come over!"
The old man in military uniform hugged Toure heavily, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Why, do you think I won't come?"
Toure was silent and the old man shook his head: "I have known Rooney for thirty years. He is my old second lieutenant. You were not even born when we caught pirates together!"
"Lame Freddy! You haven't retired yet? They should really give you more pension!"
Hearing the voice behind him, the old man raised his eyebrows, turned around and cursed: "Kate, the one-eyed dragon! Has your squint been cured? Back then, you always reported wrong directions, but they actually let you serve as a lookout! What a shame!
I have to fire a few more shots to calibrate!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Although I squint, I can see far!"
Amid laughter, the two hugged each other. They were not from a superior family like the Crowley family, and their military rank could only reach the school level. This was also the limit for ordinary people. If you want to become a general, you must have great military exploits or strong connections.
But how many people can a general have?
The real control level is composed of these school-level and lieutenant-level officers.
More and more people rushed to the conference room. Most of them were familiar with each other. They were friends for many years and their relationship was extremely reliable.
Only then did Toure realize what kind of wealth his father had left him.
You know, most of the children of these old officers are also in the navy.
They may be ordinary corporals or lieutenant-level officers. If my father does something, they will definitely help him.
"Okay, General Toure, old Duke Crowley came to see us. What do you want to do?"
After making a joke, everyone fell silent. From the moment they received Toure's letter, they roughly guessed that the problem would be difficult to solve, especially since old Duke Crowley had summoned so many people, and the difficulty was even higher.
When it came to business, Toure became more serious. He opened a map of London, pointed at the red dots drawn on the map and said, "In a few days, I will move your troops to these locations for defense."
Looking at the important roads on the map, everyone looked at each other, their hearts beating wildly: "What are you going to do?"
"This is the Prime Minister's order."
Toure said: "If there are people who are unwilling to participate, they can withdraw immediately. I will never stop them."
There was dead silence in the conference room, but no one left.
"That bastard Rooney really likes us old bones..."
Someone said, half jokingly and half seriously: "How sure are you?"
"50%."
"This is still a conservative estimate," Toure said.
"...."
After a moment of silence, someone laughed, one, two... In the end, everyone laughed, except Toure, who looked puzzled.
"I'm actually 50% sure! Do it!"
"What the heck, how many times did we not have a narrow escape when dealing with pirates? We weren't even 10% sure!"
"You should have called us long ago for such a good thing!"
In the next room, Ma Wei felt calmer after hearing the enthusiastic response in the room.
"Remember to send cats to keep an eye on them. If they want to tip off, kill them on the spot."
"Um."
Fat Orange nodded slowly. He naturally understood these things. From the moment the letter was sent, there were already cats monitoring these people.
Fortunately, no one has tipped off so far.
This is not surprising. The old Duke Crawley has been in a high position for decades. As long as he is not a loser, he can always bring out a group of trustworthy old friends.
"When do you plan to take action?" Fat Orange asked while observing the movement in the next room.
"We'll start when Toure is ready."
Mobilizing the army for defense and replacing the top management of Scotland Yard will take time. It is not something that can be done just by taking action. Fortunately, with the experience of the Romanov Kingdom, both Fat Orange and Ma Wei are more familiar with it this time.
While they were talking, the meeting next door had ended. The officers got to their respective defense points and left. After sorting out the documents, Toure opened the door next door.
"They all agreed to join."
Ma Wei nodded: "Have you contacted Joshua and the others?"
"We have made an appointment to meet at my house tonight. Since you left, we have been meeting regularly. You can come too."
"good."
In the evening, after leaving No. 9 Downing Street and finishing his day's work, Marvey returned to the grocery store, and then activated his shadow magic to arrive at the Crawley family mansion. This time, he used the identity of Marvey Enders.
Seeing Ma Wei, old Duke Crowley was a little emotional. He opened his mouth, swallowed the words on his lips, turned into a sigh, and passed by Ma Wei.
After walking two steps, he suddenly stopped and said in a hoarse voice: "I have always regarded you as a child of the Crowley family."
"I see."
Whether this is to enhance the relationship, Mavey knows better than anyone else. He is the adopted son of the old Duke Crowley. From the beginning, he joined the Royal Navy to protect Turay Crowley.
It was impossible to say that he had no feelings for the Crawley family. The Crawley family treated him very well, and he also believed that what the old Duke Crawley said was not a deliberate attempt to cling to him after seeing his prosperity.
In addition to old Duke Crowley, Mavey also met the eldest prince’s wife, Rosanna Crowley.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Rosanna looked a little pale. It was obvious that her husband's death had dealt a big blow to her. When she saw Mavey, her lips trembled slightly and she had countless things to say.
Ma Wei took off his hat and put it on his chest, nodding to her to indicate that he could not change the death of the eldest prince. Maybe Rosanna was the one who was hurt the most, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After passing Roxana, Ma Wei and Yunia came to the door of the living room. Before opening the door, Yunia turned to look at Roxana who was standing at the corner of the corridor sadly, and asked: "You let Fat Orange stare at her, right?"
Don’t you believe her?”
"I don't like to place my hopes on others." Mavey replied: "The eldest prince died because of me, and I must consider the possibility of Roxana taking revenge on the Crowley family."
Yunia nodded slightly: "I understand why she became like this."
"Your personality?"
"As long as you are here, she will never grow up." Yunia said: "And you are too wise, suspicious, and sinful... you have been wasting your soul, and your life will be short."
"I think I will live a long life."
Pouring his lips, Ma Wei reached out and pushed open the door. Everyone sitting on the sofa waiting suddenly stood up.
Looking at the figure appearing at the door, someone's eyes were filled with tears.
"Lieutenant...."
"What's your name, lieutenant? You should call him priest!"
"Oh, Your Majesty the Pope, please forgive me for my rudeness..."
After saying that, someone bowed to Ma Wei. Seeing this scene, Ma Wei also smiled.
"It's not time to stand on the gallows and pee your pants, you guys."
"What nonsense! I didn't pee my pants! It was sweat!"
"You know it yourself."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Is this how the Pope talks? Shouldn't you wear a high hat and recite the doctrine seriously?"
"Those are your stereotypes."
"Cheers to your return, Lieutenant!"
Without noticing, a glass of champagne was stuffed into Mavey's hand. Everyone drank it in one gulp. After wiping their mouths, someone looked at Yunia who was standing next to Mavey: "This is your...daughter, Lieutenant?"
"
"Yes, her name is Yunia."
The atmosphere froze, and several people's expressions froze on the spot. Yunia... isn't this name the goddess of truth?
Ma Wei actually became the father of the goddess as rumored!
"Then does she..." One person winked at Ma Wei: "I will obey your words... Okay, I won't ask anymore."
Under Yunia's cold gaze, he flinched.
Ma Wei put the wine glass on the table, looked at each other with Toure, and said with a smile: "Everyone, five years ago, we were lucky enough to survive from the execution ground."
"Five years later, we are together again."
"If you still remember your original oath, please sign this document."
Toure put a newspaper on the table. As long as he signed it, it meant he was on the same side as Mavey.
Joshua was the first to pick up the pen and sign, followed by Malkin, Reina, Yumit...
There was no hesitation or hesitation. The anger during the conspiracy five years ago was all settled now and turned into a calm calm.
"I have been waiting for this day for five years."
Ma Wei picked up the signed document, took a deep breath, took the lighter from Toure, and lit it.
How could he leave any clue?
Seeing the documents full of signatures being swallowed up by the flames and turning into ashes, Ma Wei glanced at the faces of everyone in the room and said word by word:
