The thick-browed senior inspector was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Hillston Police Station?"
August nodded:
"Yes."
The thick-browed senior inspector hesitated for a while: "You guys wait a minute, I'll ask Judge Dwyer."
The tall Mr. Claude smiled bitterly at August, and the frost on Ms. Hilda's face also dissipated, and she smiled again.
"I had no idea that the relationship between the Hillstown Police Department and Silveras Field had become so bad."
Claude didn't mention Hillston Police Station just now. He walked up to August. He walked with a slight limp, and he was still using a cane.
"You have been fighting against the Fusac Empire on the coast of East Balam. These things are not worthy of your concern."
It was not contrary to August's praise of Claude. Claude performed extremely well in the battle against the Fusac Empire, otherwise he would not have become one of the leaders of the Veteran Officers Club after being injured and lame.
After all, the Veterans Officers Club only associates with people with certain positions of power. If its leader is a cripple, he either has a deep background or has great achievements, and Claude falls into the latter category.
"The Hillston Police Station is in Backlund, but it does not belong to Silveras Field. It is only a matter of time before discord or even conflict breaks out."
Claude was a lieutenant commander in the Loen Royal Navy before retiring due to injury. Anyone who understands this kind of thing will naturally understand.
"Not only is Silveras Field and the Hillston Police Department at odds with each other, the four justices of the peace are also a little dissatisfied with the Hillston Police Department, but they just can't find the opportunity."
Mr. August is a housekeeper and has stayed in Backlund for many years, so he naturally has a better understanding of the struggles involved.
Over the years, especially when the Corn Act was implemented, the Conservative Party almost overwhelmed the New Party, but the New Party has always insisted on adding sand to the Conservative Party's power.
When the police system was established more than ten years ago, the Backlund Police Department should be responsible for the security of all Backlund areas as a matter of course, but it encountered strong opposition from the New Party.
Members of the New Party insisted that Hillston District, as the economic center of the Kingdom, must strengthen security protection, so the Hillston Police Department became independent from Silveras Field.
This made the four magistrates responsible for supervising the Backlund police very dissatisfied. Although the Hillston Police Station was still under their supervision, it was naturally not so easy for them to let the Hillston Police Department, which relied on the New Party and Hillston District,
Management.
This time, the illegal operation of the Hillston Police Department ran into the magistrate who had been grudged for many years, and coupled with the conservative supporters who suffered heavy losses, it was enough for the Hillston Police Department to suffer a big loss.
"Congressman Nozick won't really attack Mr. Gold, will he?"
Hilda had some doubts. She actually didn't understand Rawls's suggestion, but she still came for the safety of Mr. Gothe.
But he was blocked from the door, Rawls did not show up, and August, who came to inform, was nowhere to be found, leaving only a small solicitor here.
"Sir, you are just suspicious. Just like what Emperor Russell said, you are not afraid of ten thousand percent, but afraid of one ten thousandth. If the Hillston Police Department allows the lawyer to see Mr. Gothe, we will naturally not do this
I wouldn't do it even if I thought about it.
"Mr. Adrian's suspicion is correct. We cannot rule out this possibility. After all, the reputation of the police is indeed not very good."
Claude lowered his voice when he said the last sentence. This is the Backlund Police Department. If anyone hears it, it will be ugly.
Of course, as a former lieutenant commander in the navy, he could naturally despise the police of this era.
The full name of the navy is the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Loen, which is one of the private territories of the nobles. Each noble family can have children serving in the navy. For example, Earl Levitt’s two younger brothers, one is the supreme naval commander of the Zhongsonia Sea, and the other is the Austrian navy.
The governor of Vera was also a naval captain.
Of course, the most famous one is actually Duke Negan. On all formal occasions, he will wear a straight blue admiral's uniform and hang up the Medal of Honor to commemorate the glorious naval life in the previous decades.
"I heard that the kingdom's first ironclad ship has entered service today. I'm really sorry to trouble you to come here."
Steward August did not take up the topic. There were some things that he could not comment on, which would bring trouble to his master, so he brought the topic to the ironclad ship that had just been commissioned.
A blush immediately appeared on Claude's face, with a hint of yearning:
"Its name is the Pritzker, and His Majesty the King named it for him."
Ms. Hilda also joined in:
"With the ironclads, the Royal Navy should be able to defeat those pirate generals and pirate kings, right?"
She had met Dusk Vice Admiral Bulatov Ivan before when she went to pick up disabled soldiers. If it had not been for the presence of the escort fleet, she would probably have died.
"It's not that it should be, but it's for sure. The ironclad is extremely powerful. It is equipped with twenty-two cannons of different calibers, 18 machine guns, and four torpedo tubes. The speed can reach 16 knots." Claude's tone changed.
He was excited, and then patted his right leg dejectedly, "It's a pity that I can't serve it."
If he was not injured, given his military exploits and experience in commanding naval battles, the captain of the USS Pulitzer would have little hope, but there was still hope of becoming the deputy captain.
"The battlefield is not that good."
Ms. Hilda said lightly that she had seen too many disabled soldiers. Even though they were brave on the battlefield, they were cowards in life.
"well."
Stewards August and Claude both knew the cruelty of the battlefield and sighed in unison.
The senior inspector with thick eyebrows walked over with a slightly excited tone:
"Judge Dwyer wants to see you."
"Let's go."
Mr. Claude limped forward with a cane. Ms. Hilda looked at Claude's figure, shook her head, and followed, followed by lawyer Jurgen who had been silent.
"Aren't you going in?"
The thick-browed senior inspector looked at the gray-haired August in confusion. He was very grateful to the steward. If he had not told the key points, he would not have informed Judge Dwyer.
If other people in the police department knew about it, he would definitely be scolded and maybe punished. This shows how serious the conflict between Silveras Field and Hillston Police Department is.
"No, I don't have to go in. I believe Judge Dwyer will handle it fairly."
Mr. Butler waved his hand.
"All right."
On the other side, Mr. Claude, Ms. Hilda, and lawyer Jurgen have arrived at Judge Dwyer's office.
Dwyer stood up from behind his desk and stared at Mr. Claude with his sharp eyes:
"Are you going to report to the Hillston Police Department?"
PS: There was a mistake in the previous chapters. The top of the Loen Police was the Minister of Police, not the Minister of Internal Affairs. This has been changed.
When I wrote it, I could not find the police system in the original work, so I wrote it according to the British "Greater London Police Act" of 1829, which is more in line with the era of the book. At that time in the United Kingdom, the police system was established by the Home Secretary Robert Peel.
It was established, so it was under his control. But when I was writing today’s chapter, I came across the police system written by Squid, so I changed it back.
As for the magistrates of the police department who supervise Backlund, they are not in the original work, but there were in Britain at that time. Everyone ignores this point, and the subsequent plot requires it. There are two such magistrates in London, but considering that Backlund is bigger than
In London in 1830, there were many people, so it became four.
One last thing, Robert Peel later became prime minister and repealed the Corn Laws
