Chapter 1428: Visitors From the Far East (Ⅰ)

"The Korath regime in the Far East and the 'Sons of Liberty' have similar backgrounds. They are both enemies of the Ashan Empire. They are like two magnets. They will attract each other when they get close. If we try to prevent the two sides from contacting each other, we will only end up with one. In an embarrassing situation where both sides are not thankful, and may even be kicked out, it is better to maintain friendly relations with both of them, after all, the three of us have the same interest demands, and we all hope that the imperial authorities will have bad luck."

Holden listened to his sister's analysis, and smiled again on his face.

Qiao An heard the conversation between the siblings, but felt very uncomfortable.

As a subject of the overseas colonies of the Holy Ashean Empire, although he has no affection for the distant mother country across the sea, he doesn't like the gangster style of "Sons of Liberty". In his heart, he still prefers to be peaceful. Divide the land and be a law-abiding citizen under His Majesty's rule.

However, as his friendship with the Zion siblings and Hailar deepened, his relationship with Canaan and the "Sons of Liberty" gradually became closer. Entrusting a diplomat from the Far East to act as a guard this time is actually tantamount to betraying his own. The mother country directly serves the Far East rebel group, how can it still call itself a "law-abiding citizen" in the future?

Although I have no motive to betray my mother country, my friends around me are all "enemies of the empire". If things are exposed and liquidated, how can I justify my actions?

One end of the balance is the emperor and the imperial government whom Qiao An should be loyal to in theory as a subject, and the other end is the relatives and friends who get along with him day and night. If one day in the future, his loyalty to the emperor and his mother country cannot be compatible with his friendship, what should he do? What choice?

The more Joan thought about it, the more entangled she became, so she could only temporarily give up thinking about this difficult problem, and comforted herself by saying:

"Across the ocean, His Majesty the Emperor who lives in the palace of the Holy City doesn't even recognize me as a small person. For a commoner like me, there is no more than one more, and no less than one less. Why bother to be sentimental here, as if What an important person I am, it's ridiculous!"

Just when he was lost in thought, a familiar shout came from behind him, and when he looked back, it was indeed Hailar, half of his body leaning out from the window of the carriage, smiling and waving to this side.

"Sister Cai, why did you come here?"

"What's the hurry, the ship we're going to pick up won't berth in half an hour."

Hailar opened the car door and jumped out.

Qiao An and Zion's siblings walked up, and when they got to the carriage, they were both stunned for a moment.

A man in a tuxedo and a top hat followed Hailar out of the car, took off his top hat and smiled at the three of them.

"Good morning! Dr. Vader, Your Highness Zion, it's a pleasure to meet you again."

"Uh... Mr. Adams, why are you here?" Holden asked in surprise.

"Halal said that today she would come to the pier to welcome visitors from the Far East, but she didn't recognize those strange guests. It just so happened that many years ago, when I was studying in Baiou Harbor, I was lucky enough to meet Fei Bi, who was also a lawyer, in a club. Mr. Us Quintilian, I just happen to be free today, so I will come with Hailar to meet old friends, and I hope my presumptuous move will not cause trouble to you.” Joseph, one of the three giants of the “Sons of Liberty” Adams said with a smile.

Adams and Quintilian are old acquaintances. This incident was indeed beyond the expectations of Joan and Zion, but they were already mentally prepared for the intervention of the "Son of Liberty", and regained their composure after a brief surprise.

Joan noticed that Adams had subtly changed his address. He used to call him "Mr. Vader" or "Brother Joan", but now he changed his name to "Dr. Vader".

This made him both embarrassed and a little puzzled: he just applied to continue his doctorate degree yesterday, how could Mr. Adams know immediately, and the news was a little too well-informed.

Looking at Hailaer standing beside Adams, Joan guessed that it was probably this "big mouth" who spread the news about his early graduation.

"Mr. Adams is too polite. In fact, we don't know Mr. Quintilian, and we are worrying about this matter. Your presence really helped us a lot." Audrey's response was very appropriate.

"Uncle Adams, since you are an old friend of that Mr. Quintilian, would it be convenient for you to tell us what role this person plays in the new government in the Far East that has just been independent for less than two years?"

Hailaer's question happened to be Joan's question too, and he stared at Mr. Adams curiously, expecting his answer.

"This can't be explained clearly in two or three sentences. Let's go to the bridge first and talk while walking."

Adams took the lead to board the "King's Bridge", and Joan, Hylar and Zion also followed, leaving the coachman to guard the carriage.

"Febius Quintilian was born in a famous family in Baiougang. He became famous for his proficiency in literature and art and eloquence when he was young. He once taught at a university in Baiougang, teaching rhetoric and law, and later opened a lawyer. After more than 20 years of operation, the firm has become the leading and famous law firm in the North Bay area.”

"In recent years, Quintilian's interest has shifted from teaching and litigation to the political field. With the contacts and reputation accumulated over the years, he was elected as a member of the North Sea Federation and started his political career."

"After the independence of the Far East was established two years ago, it received the full support of the North Sea Federation. It is said that the current speaker of the Federation, Ms. Lyubov Yangbo, is one of the rumored lovers of the Far East Prince Roland Kolas. The gossip may not be credible. But the close cooperation between the North Sea Federation and the Kolas Kingdom is obvious to all."

"After the independence of the Far East, all countries in Vares paid close attention to this new regime. At that time, it was generally believed that this rebellious regime would collapse in internal and external difficulties within three years."

"Now that two years have passed, the Kolas government in the Far East has not shown signs of collapse, but has shown a thriving vitality, which surprised all international observers who were not optimistic about this regime at the beginning."

"Today's new atmosphere in the Far East is certainly inseparable from the excellent governance skills of Colas and his sons, and an efficient and executive cabinet is also an indispensable success factor - was invited by Prince Roland from North Bay to Fort Colas Fabius Quintilian, who is in charge of diplomatic work, is one of the important ministers of the Far East cabinet."

"It turns out that Mr. Fabius Quintilian is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Kolas in the Far East! In other words, we four little boys will be in charge of a minister in the next week. security work?" Hailaer looked bitter, "If something goes wrong, it won't lead to international disputes, right? Oops, why do I have a premonition that I'm going to be 'blame'!"
