Chapter 107 Group stage show on the big stage
The old man Rembrandt said what he was thinking little by little, and his mood seemed to become very excited. Seeing this, Vaschi wanted to step forward to help the old man inject medicine and stabilize his mood, but the old man raised his hand to stop him.
He gestured to Leo, controlled the wheelchair, came to the study room, stopped in front of the blackboard, raised his hand to pick up the chalk, wrote something on it, and then used some lines to connect the written content.
A big net was formed, and in the middle of the big net was the Continental Congress.
Leo looked at the information on the blackboard and gradually sorted out some clues.
After writing all the relationship diagrams, the old man put down the chalk, pointed to the two words at the top, and said: "The Maritime Act and the three-level parliamentary system should be the source of everything. Five years ago, the three continental parliaments voted by two-thirds
The maritime bill passed by the majority of votes, this bill directly limited the sea power of the Kingdom of England, making it impossible for the Kingdom of England to expand its power to the surrounding waters of the other two continents even after defeating the Kingdom of Sigmar, the former maritime overlord.
.Four years ago, the three-level parliamentary system secretly implemented by the Velen Continental Congress in various cities on the western continent of Velen directly posed a huge threat to the royal power of the French Empire."
Leo asked with some confusion: "Since both countries hate the Continental Congress so much, why not just withdraw from the Continental Congress and expel them from Velen Continent?"
The old man shook his head and said: "If you do it according to your method, the final result will only make the situation of the two countries very bad and be isolated from the world. Political problems cannot be solved in such a simple and crude way, at least when they are trapped in
You can’t do this before the desperate situation.”
"In my opinion, you think too much." Using the simplest method to solve the most complex problems is the combat concept of biological weapons, which is also Leo's current philosophy. Although he respects the old man's knowledge, he does not agree with the old man.
the opinion of.
The old man didn't say anything. He knew very well how difficult it was to convince a person who had already formed his own way of life, so he did not choose to argue or persuade.
He put the question aside, raised his finger and pointed at the lines connecting the two root problems, and continued: "Because of these two things, the French Empire and the Kingdom of England decided to join forces to stage this drama. Their purpose is very simple.
We must use this seemingly large-scale war to find out all the known and hidden interventionist members and officials in the Velen Continental Congress and deal with them at once. Then cause a shutdown of the Congress, and then interfere in the affairs of the Continental Congress.
Before the Continental Congresses on the other two continents react, they will completely reorganize or completely eliminate the current Velen Continental Congress. In fact, this method of doing things is very similar to yours."
Leo shook his head. He did not agree with the old man's statement, but he did not refute it.
"I know that Baron Maupassant has a list in his hands. The list is the allies of the successor to the throne in the Continental Congress supported by Baron Maupassant. The names on that list should be among the seventy-three people." Leo thought about the past.
What happened during these days, he said: "It's just that I saw that Baron Maupassant didn't seem to want to use the list to deal with those members of the Continental Congress, but really wanted to use the hands of the Continental Congress to help those he supported.
Why did a man become like this when he became the emperor of the French Empire?"
"These are the accidents I encountered during the planned trip that I want to talk about next." The old man took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and said: "The first accident should be that Emperor Fran suddenly fell seriously ill.
He died within a short period of time. But I don’t think this was an accident, but more like someone deliberately using the plans of the two countries to make a false war come true."
"What's the use of doing this?" Leo frowned and said solemnly: "Even if Emperor Fran is dead, there will be other insiders. If they tell the story..."
"What if the insider is only the emperor and king of two countries?" The old man interrupted Leo and said: "What if the insider's status is not enough for his words to be believed? And in front of an empty throne of an empire
, who can bear to turn his attention away from the throne and pay attention to the so-called cooperation that cannot be verified? You must know that the French Empire and the Kingdom of England are feuding, and the hatred between the two sides has been accumulated for countless years, even if I am here
Before, it was unbelievable that these two countries would secretly form an alliance to deal with the Continental Congress together."
Leo looked solemn and said, "Is it so difficult for them to not develop a solution to possible accidents in advance?"
"This is the second accident I want to talk about. This cooperation is probably an accident." The old man said in a deep voice: "And all the participants probably blindly believed that there could be no changes in this matter, so
There is no countermeasure at all. I know that Emperor Louis IX of the French Empire and King George VI of the Kingdom of England had a brief meeting due to an accident a year ago. The meeting lasted only ten minutes. I want to secretly form an alliance to deal with the mainland.
The parliament's decision should be made in those ten minutes."
"Ten minutes? Are they crazy?" Leo couldn't understand the thoughts of these high-level people, which reminded him of the battle plan formulated by the politicians of the Earth Federation.
"The third surprise is also the most important one." The old man did not respond to Leo's question. He just smiled in agreement, then pointed to an empty list box on the blackboard between the two kings' names.
Said: "A person who should not be informed knows their plan. This is the origin of all variables."
Leo asked doubtfully: "Do you know who this unexpected insider is?"
"I know, but I don't want to write his name." The old man shook his head with a complicated expression. Then he looked at Leo with interest, pointed at the blackboard, and said, "The clues are all on the blackboard. Look for them.
See if you can find this insider. I will only remind you that you have met this insider."
Leo stood in front of the blackboard, looking at the complex schematic diagram in front of him like a large network. A large amount of personal name information was poured into his mind, which made him feel a little confused. He couldn't help but want to use the accessory brain system for analysis.
"Don't forget what I just said. Don't be fooled by superficial clues. You must find the most original point, and whoever is the beneficiary is the original point." The old man's words stopped Leo from using his accessory brain system.
idea.
As Leo cleared out all the unnecessary clues, leaving only the most important clues, his mind immediately came to his senses, and at the same time, a person's name also appeared, making him unable to help but show a look of surprise on his face.
"It seems that you have already thought of it." Old Rembrandt, who was always paying attention to Leo's expression, easily saw his thoughts from the look on his face and said.
Leo still didn't believe his own judgment, and said in a deep voice: "How could it be him?"
"Why can't it be him?" the old man asked with a smile.
Leo didn't answer, picked up the chalk, and wrote Rupert Fitz's name in the empty list box.
Yes, according to Leo's analysis, if the war between the French Empire and the Kingdom of England is faked and the Continental Congress successfully intervenes in the political affairs of the two countries and expands the influence and authority of the Continental Congress, the ultimate and biggest beneficiary will be
Rupert Fitz, Duke Devine's number one confidant has been revealed.
Perhaps he suspected that his analysis was wrong, so Leo asked the assistant brain system to analyze all the data, and finally came to the same result.
Although Rupert Fitz is not a promoter of the three-tier parliamentary system, he is a beneficiary of the three-tier parliamentary system because he has industries in almost all industrial cities in the Western Continent and is a member of various city business federations.
He occupies an important seat in the government and is also a powerful figure representing businessmen in the three-level parliament.
In addition, his reputation among ordinary people is very high. He has established civilian hospitals, orphanages and relief centers in almost all cities in the Western Continent. Most of the representatives of the civilian population are inextricably related to him.
Finally, he is also a member of the nobility, and is almost a leader-like figure among the nobility of the Western Continent. Through the connection of business shares, the aristocratic system of the Western Continent is firmly in his hands.
And the more important point is that he himself is also a powerful figure in the Continental Congress. The expansion of influence and power of the Continental Congress has only benefits and no harm to him. On the contrary, the Continental Congress disappeared from Velen Continent, and the empire strengthened its control of various industries in the Western Continent.
The control is the biggest disaster for him.
"Alas!" The old man suddenly sighed and said: "I still remember what he looked like when I adopted him. I didn't expect that he could grow to this point now. At least he is much stronger than this old guy like me.
.”
"You adopted him?" Leo was stunned for a moment, pointed to Rupert Fitz's name, and said, "He is your adopted son."
The old man corrected him: "Rather than saying he is an adopted son, it would be more appropriate to say he is a student."
Leo couldn't help but ask: "Is Rupert Fitz capable of assassinating Louis IX?"
The old man knew Rupert's ability very well and said: "Don't forget that he is Duke Devin's number one confidant to the outside world. Before Duke Devin was kicked out of the French court, he could be the right-hand man within the French court.
His extraordinary influence is even called the shadow of the palace, and with his character, I am afraid that his chess pieces have been laid out in the French court a long time ago."
"If we go by this speculation, Rupert Fitz would have really wanted the French Empire and the Kingdom of England to go to war, so it was probably him who suggested that Duke Devin use imine poison gas on the battlefield to make the tacit war between the two countries appear real." Lei
Ou narrated the speculations in his mind bit by bit: "So when he got the list of Baron Maupassant's allies, he did not remove the people on the list. I thought it was the speaker's matter that disturbed him.
Now it seems that he has never thought about eliminating those people." But as he said, he showed doubts and said: "But if he didn't want to take action against the members of the Continental Congress, then why did he kill three people from the dark world?
Are the killers dispatched?"
The old man said instructively: "What if he didn't want to kill those congressmen, but wanted to kill other people who would hinder his plan?"
"Other people who hindered his plan?" Leo chewed this sentence repeatedly, his eyes scanned the blackboard, and landed on the death list of seventy-three congressmen, and said: "He found the killer from the dark world to
Against the people who really want to kill those congressmen?”
"That's right!" The old man nodded and asked further: "Then who is this person?"
Without any thought, Leo named a person and said: "Chief Inspector Ljungberg, only he, the chief detective who controls the entire Miria City police and detectives, can not
Without alerting anyone, sixty-nine members of the Continental Congress living in Miria City were eliminated overnight."
The old man looked at Leo with admiration, nodded in approval, and said: "With your current ability, you can become a qualified politician."
"Stop making fun of me. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to see through these things." Leo smiled bitterly, as if talking to himself, and said, "My comrades and I are in this matter."
What’s the matter?”
"Accident." The old man took the initiative to answer for Leo, saying: "Duke Devin was an accident that messed up the situation, and you and your comrades were another accident that messed up the situation even more. Because of your appearance, everyone
All plans have changed and the situation has been completely disrupted, so someone has to step up and put the situation back on track, and Ljungberg is the best person."
"He is also one of the insiders of the plan?" Leo wondered: "Why would he, who is so far away from the French court, gain the trust of Louis IX and know all of Louis IX's plans?"
The old man replied: "It's very simple, because he is a patriot, a pure patriot. Louis IX knew this very well, so he placed him in Milia City."
Leo couldn't help but think of those conversations with Ljungberg. He had always emphasized his love for Miria City and was always hostile to those who undermined the stability of Miria City. At that time, Leo always thought that the person he was talking about was
Rupert Fitz, but now it seems that the people he is talking about should be those Continental congressmen in the Continental Congress who want to interfere in the government affairs of the French Empire.
Leo asked again: "Where is Anne? Where is Baron Maupassant? What roles did they play in this matter?"
"Annie definitely didn't understand the situation at the beginning, but now? Not necessarily. She shouldn't be too involved in this matter. If necessary, she can use the power of the medical association to get out." The old man explained:
"As for Baron Maupassant, he should already be one of the insiders. Although I don't know exactly what method Ljungberg used to persuade him, I can be sure that among the sixty-nine members of the Continental Congress who died, some
Part of it was his doing."
Leo was silent for a long time, then asked in confusion: "What should I do?"
The old man smiled and asked: "What do you want to do?" After speaking, he paused and then said: "What can you do? What does this have to do with you? Do you remember coming to Miria City?
What’s the original intention?”
Leo was stunned, pondering for a moment, then smiled as if he had been relieved of a burden, and said, "You are right, I thought too much, and actually forgot my original idea." As he said, he started from there.
