The construction minister who has just enjoyed delicious food is not happy at this time. The satisfaction brought by delicious food is less than one ten thousandth of the harm done to him by this phone call!

His face was livid, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his words, his voice and his tone were filled with joy, "great, you're fine. Now many people are looking for you. You'd better not appear in a short time!"

"Of course, if you believe me, you can tell me your address. I can send you something to help you through this difficult time."

The laughter from the receiver was harsh, "help me to hell?"

The expression of the Construction Minister gradually eased down. Some things are like this. After you are unhappy for a period of time, you can calmly face this thing that causes you to be unhappy.

His tone also became plain. "If you can't trust me, there's no need to call me. You know, I can find you in less than half an hour." he gently found a button under the table and pressed it.

Then as he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and pen. "Listen, Preston, things are not as bad as you think. I and others have been trying to excuse you."

"War with the Union..." at this time, the door of the study opened quietly, and the housekeeper stood outside the door.

Pressing a button is actually a reminder for the housekeeper to come to his study.

As a construction minister, he often met with many imperial nobles and privileged classes.

Some of these meetings were pleasant, but others were unpleasant.

When encountering these unpleasant meetings, the best solution is to urge the "ignorant" housekeeper to end the meeting as soon as possible. The construction minister can ask the housekeeper to send the other party out without tearing his face, instead of asking the other party to get out directly.

At this time, he waved to the housekeeper, handed over the note just written, told the other party the importance of the content on the note with his eyes and his fingers, and then urged him to do it as soon as possible.

The housekeeper left with a note, but the call never stopped.

"... in fact, whether it is the federation or the Empire, the conflict between us must break out, just earlier or later."

"The male lion can not refuse flies, but he will certainly refuse wild dogs. The behavior of the Federation is like an annoying wild dog. You just played a role in promoting this period of time."

"Even without you, we will start a local war for a contest in two or three years at most, so you don't need to worry about your Majesty's anger."

"Please forgive me. What I'm going to say next may make you feel unhappy. Preston, you always think you're great. You're a 'key gentleman'. You think you're too great. We don't care about you!"

"Your Majesty doesn't even know your name. He doesn't have the time and energy to remember the name of a trivial little man in his mind. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You're just a little person. You think you're too important!"

The Construction Minister belittles Preston very badly. The more he belittles Preston, the more he can create an illusion for the other party, as if... He is really not as important as he thinks. Even if he appears in front of people, no one will treat him.

If this kind of words are said to ordinary people, there is no problem, but the guy opposite is Preston. Almost half of his wealth from nagaril goes into the pockets of imperial ministers every year, and sometimes this figure will exceed half of his income.

Not everyone is a gentleman. They will take as much as you give, and they will thank you for these benefits.

Some people will ask you for it directly, and it's a big number when they open their mouth.

For his majesty, the Imperial Emperor, Preston is really just a small man, but the ministers still dare not allow him to appear casually. If he speaks out the transactions with the ministers over the years, and only the names of a few people, there will be accidents and dead people.

To nip the danger in the bud, are the great figures of these empires more than familiar?

"The whole world is looking for me, a little guy. It seems that I'm really just a little guy!" Preton's self mockery made the construction minister have a little bad guess. He was too calm, as if he had been fearless.

Even he can laugh on the phone and keep talking to himself.

"Are you not in the Empire?" he asked suddenly.

Preston laughed and replied, "of course, are you disappointed? Of course I'm not in the Empire. You have to thank me. I didn't say your name on the phone..."

The construction minister's first reaction would smash the damn phone on the base of the phone. Gavra's communication with the outside world was through submarine cables.

This thing is a little... Incredible from the current point of view, but it's not so incredible.

Gavra is an island country, but it is not completely separated from the continental shelf and hung on the ocean. Its bottom is connected with the continental shelf as a whole.

This also makes the sea water depth in this part not so deep, and the engineering submarine can easily touch the bottom, which also provides the necessary environment and convenience for laying cables.

Under the sea from gavra to the nearest land, there is such a communication cable. The telephone from outside the island will first enter the transfer station and be manually transferred to the telegraph office of each city.

Then the telegraph office will transfer it to the local telephone account. In this process, the transfer operator will record the telephone as necessary so that the content of a telephone can be found at any time.

After the receiver answers the manually transferred call, there is a manual prompt, such as "you have a call request from a foreign country, do you need to connect?".

At this stage, due to technical reasons, this ultra long-distance long-distance call requires multiple transfer stations to provide terminal services to ensure that the call can be carried out. Therefore, the long-distance charge is two-way, and the charge price is not cheap.

Most people don't take the initiative to call international calls. They don't have enough money to connect and listen to international calls!

There was no prompt before the call was answered, which is also the reason why the Construction Minister mistakenly thought Preston was in China.

Domestic calls can't be recorded, so he dares to say anything, but now he regrets that Preston, an asshole, made a trap for him, and he jumped in so simply.

The silence of more than ten seconds stabilized the construction minister from two very short emotions: rage and panic. No matter how Preston did this, as long as he didn't shout his name, the problem was not big.

"Where are you now?" he asked another question when the phone was just connected.

Preston didn't hide anything. "I'm in a very safe place. Many people stare at me. If I just make a mistake, they'll beat me!"

"It's not funny..." the Construction Minister thought he was joking, but then he understood, "wait, you're caught. Who caught you?"

Before Preston answered, the construction minister had a guess, and it soon became a reality.

"Federation!"

"So you don't have to worry too much that I will betray you and you. Your value is higher than me, okay?" at this time, Preston, under close supervision, inexplicably had a feeling of schadenfreude.

As long as he says the other party's name on the phone, it will cause great trouble to the other party. He never thought that such a thing would happen before. The status of both sides has changed. Now he is not the one who is afraid!

"What do you want?", the construction minister's scalp is a little numb. It's not much better to fall into the hands of the Federation than the emperor. Now he began to consider whether it would be better to turn himself in to the emperor.

"Whatever you want, I must remind you first that I will not betray gavra, nor will I betray his majesty!"

……

More than half an hour later, the housekeeper came to the construction minister's study with a letter. He put the envelope on the table, then lowered his head slightly and said, "we found three telephones in that house, two of which have been transformed."

"The phone first called one of them, and then transferred to here. When we went, there was no one in the room, and there was no clue left."

"I learned from the developer that the house has been vacant for a long time..."

After hearing this, the Construction Minister waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to leave. He looked at the letter with dark eyes. After reading it for a long time, he picked it up and cut it with a letter knife.

No sealing wax, no fragrance, he took out the letter paper from inside, no bronzed pattern, no family emblem, Dalits are Dalits!

He unfolded the stationery and looked a little strange after reading it, because to some extent, what Preston needs is also what the Empire needs. In other words, he is here to solve problems for the Empire?!

For several days, the sky over the imperial capital seemed to be shrouded in clouds. The situation in Amelia was still not clear. The Empire had reinforced many armies to carry out military operations in Amelia.

However, these frustrated armies seemed to be fighting against the elite imperial army. Not only did they have no significant results, but they suffered heavy casualties.

Some well-known figures who voluntarily surrendered in the Amelia region also expressed their dissatisfaction with the current situation to the governor and His Majesty the Imperial Emperor in various ways.

Once the empire is unable to extinguish these emerging rebel organizations in a short time, the situation will erode, and the whole region may be turbulent, even affecting the sovereignty of the Empire.

After all, no one wants to live under this high-pressure terrorist rule every day. Maintaining this situation all the time will only allow more people to join the resistance organization.

On the new day, in the main hall of the ruler, the Imperial Emperor asked again, "who can solve this problem?"
