The wood in the fireplace was burning, and the room was as warm as spring.
Bieber-Thompson elegantly read the transcript presented by Kammer, a previously unknown scholar who was good at dancing and is now a powerful figure in the Liberal Party and a major supporter of Fox.
Not long ago, he was transferred from the Minister of Justice to the Minister of the Interior, specifically responsible for eradicating traitors and suppressing opposition. It is said that his methods are very vicious and vicious, and he is never merciless in dealing with dissidents within the party. People inside and outside the party have changed their minds after hearing this.
But Carmen didn't understand why this person wanted to name him, which made him uneasy, thinking that his identity as a conspirator had been exposed.
"The emperor is unwilling." Thompson put down the manuscript in his hand. "He is still living in the so-called glory of the past, but he doesn't know that he can never go back."
"Your Excellency, I completely agree with your judgment." Carmen carefully complimented, "An old dynasty has become history, and a republic that truly belongs to all citizens has stood up."
"Mr. Carmen, but I am not satisfied with the words you recorded. Quite dissatisfied."
Thompson's words shocked Carmen and said, "Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean?"
"This paper is full of a prisoner's self-defense. I can't see the slightest hint of remorse. This is extremely disproportionate to the current situation. You must know that the majority of civilians have become the masters of the country, and they are full of ambitions.
They happily gained their freedom and bravely took up arms to fight against the masters who once sat on their heads. However, the old forces headed by Carlos II are still unrepentant, so we must use violent revolutionary means to eliminate them. We
My opponent is already trembling and begging for his life," Thompson said.
His voice sounded sonorous, powerful and contagious, but Carmen felt a chill in her ears.
In just two or three years, many people have lost their lives because of this elegant-looking man, including Carmen's former colleagues.
"I understand, Your Excellency." Carmen responded quickly, "This text record is not sufficient, and I seem to have forgotten to record some content."
Thompson was pleased with Carmen's performance:
"Well, Mr. Carmen, I heard that you were born in Genoa?"
"Yes, I am from Poitou, as many people know." Carmen said, "Unfortunately, my hometown has become the hometown of rebels."
"That's a beautiful place." Thompson's complex eyes flashed, "I also heard that you know Sean Connery?"
Carmen said: "Everyone in Poitou knows him, and I am no exception. And I graduated from the University of Poitou, and Sean Connery is the president of my alma mater. But you should know that I fully support the Republic and am willing to
Die for freedom."
"Don't be nervous, young man." Thompson chuckled, "I just want to know your personal opinion of Sean Connery."
"How should I put it?" Carmen tried to stay relaxed, "That's a very ambitious nobleman."
"Oh? Your judgment is very direct, and it also surprises me." Thompson looked a little surprised, "Is it because he recently established a Citizens' Party in the south?"
"No, I mean before, before the revolution. This man is very rich, he has been winning people's hearts, and almost everyone is willing to be friends with him. We all know that if a person's reputation is flawless, or this person
Either he is a saint, or he is the most hypocritical person. Sean Connery obviously belongs to the latter.
As a noble, what has he been doing all these years? Apart from buying off the southerners, he is taking control of the army step by step. He seems to have foreseen the collapse of the empire very early and made preparations for it in advance. Isn't this ambition?"
Carmen said, "As for the Civic Party, you see, their ideas and program are completely copied from our Liberal Party."
"What you said is very good! The situation is now clear. The southerners led by Sean Connery are on the opposite side of us, and some of us still have illusions about him, thinking that he also supports the revolution.
This is really too naive. Revolution is a life-and-death struggle, and violence is the only effective method." Thompson asked, "Take your transcript away, it needs polishing."
Carmen knew she had passed the test, but her underwear was already soaked with sweat.
In the days that followed, Carmen still went to see Carlos II every day.
The guards were no longer on guard against Carmen and even removed the door guards, but Carmen was still very cautious.
Carlos II seems to have realized that his days are numbered. He talks a lot and is even a bit verbose.
Carmen was the only listener.
"Frank Joseph is a shrewd and capable man. I grew up watching him, but I never really trusted him. He thought he was hiding deeply and hooked up with my eldest son. He thought I didn't know? The two of them
A group of honorary officers was organized very early to plot major events. Obviously, this group was not very effective at the critical moment..."
"To be honest, I don't like Jean, especially after his mother died. I admit that I was harsh on him because he actually went against my will and got together with a dance teacher..."
"Philip is a good successor, but unfortunately he is too young and lacks experience. If I had made up my mind earlier..."
"Carmen, there are rumors that Sean Connery is Gene's illegitimate son. To be honest, I dare not deny it 100%. Back then, Gene, a traitor, actually sent someone to protect this bitch and escaped. And that bitch at that time
She’s pregnant. I remember Sean Connery also had blond hair?”
Speaking of which, Carlos II tried to recall the only meeting he had with Sean.
Carmen whispered: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. But if you think that golden hair is a distinctive feature of the royal family, I am afraid it is a bit far-fetched. As far as I know, there are also some non-royal people with golden hair, although the number is rare."
Carlos II seemed a little disappointed and murmured:
"When it comes to Sean Connery, I made a mistake. A little southern nobleman has become a hero. If he really has the blood of my Solon family, it wouldn't be a bad thing."
Carmen felt that the emperor was truly at the end of his rope and regarded any possibility that was beneficial to the royal family as a life-saving straw.
"Maybe... maybe..." Carmen's voice was too low to hear, "Your Majesty, Count Connery asked me to tell you that if you have any... last words, as long as he can do it, he will do his best."
Carlos II smiled miserably, suddenly grabbed Carmen by the collar, and whispered:
"If you see Earl Connery, please tell him that people like the Liberal Party will never end well. As for who will rule this country, Gene, Sean Connery, or whoever it is, it no longer matters to me.
It's important.
Also, if possible, please ask him to find my daughter and protect her for the rest of her life."
