1283 All Parties Respond

Snapped!

The hustle and bustle in the square was silenced by the gunshot. In an instant, not only was time paused, but even the sound disappeared completely after the gunshot.

The next second, a palace guard rushed over and pinned the emperor down, and then the second.

The emperor was about to say "I'm fine" and jokingly told them "I might be the first emperor to be crushed to death", but for some reason, he couldn't speak and coughed twice.

There was something in my throat that I coughed out all of a sudden. The comfortable feeling didn't last long, and there seemed to be something in my throat again.

When time resumed, the people in the square fled in all directions. Even if the police and palace guards asked them to stop, they did not stop!

The nobles were surrounded by palace guards, and conflicts could break out at any time.

No one noticed that as soon as the riot broke out, a cleaner appeared from behind the cafe, with his face lowered, and ran towards the outskirts of the city with others.

Someone reported to the police that the cafe was the place where the gunshots were first heard and the loudest. They also found the gun, but... it didn't make much sense anymore.

His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated after announcing the abolition of the privileges of the nobility. The bullet hit his chest, and he was then sent back to the palace for treatment.

Of course, sometimes some people think that the emperor has to go to the hospital if he is injured... let them continue to think so!

Ten minutes later, the Prime Minister, all the ministers, and the nobles rushed to the palace.

"How is your Majesty's situation?" The Prime Minister showed a murderous look on his body. He is not here this morning. This is a conflict between the aristocratic group and the emperor. If he comes here, he may be forced to express his position.

So he was very cunning and didn't mention the incident at the scene at all, and hid early in the morning.

Just when they thought a new era had arrived, news came that His Majesty the Emperor had been assassinated.

The Prime Minister, who had been holding back for decades, finally broke out at this moment.

The boiling anger and murderous intent surrounding him could be felt even from a few meters away. He walked outside the ward, glanced at the doctor, and the doctor who had been working for the royal family lowered his head.

"How is your Majesty's condition?"

The doctor didn't say anything. The Prime Minister turned around and walked into the next room. The doctor followed closely, and then the door closed.

"The bullet is lodged in His Majesty's lung. His condition is very dangerous. We must make a decision as soon as possible..." The doctor explained the situation directly without being subtle.

The Prime Minister frowned, "What decision?"

"Open the chest!"

In this era, some surgical procedures are actually very mature, but they do not completely involve organs, such as digging out a bullet from a lung lobe and repairing the blood vessels and then suturing it back...

Thinking about it, the success rate doesn’t seem that high!

The Prime Minister is not ignorant. He knows the risks of this kind of surgery. "If we try hard, what are the chances that he will survive?"

The doctor gave a low number, "no more than a five percent chance."

Of course, he also defended medicine, "The Federation's medicine is more advanced than ours. If we can invite top surgical experts from the Federation, His Majesty has a high probability of surviving."

This sentence made the Prime Minister feel hopeful. There were still many things that needed the Emperor's cooperation. They had been fighting for a lifetime, but at this time they were considered partners.

Without the emperor, it would be difficult for him to perform this scene alone.

"Go and invite someone immediately, and I will give you the greatest power..." He looked at the doctor's depressed mood that had not changed at all, and then fell silent, "You won't tell me that we are going to the federal government to invite someone back. ?”

Back and forth, one week, His Majesty the Emperor simply cannot last that long!

The doctor laughed dryly. The Prime Minister took a deep breath and took a few steps back and forth. "Go ahead and do it. If we don't do anything, he won't stand a chance."

"If we do it, there's at least a five percent chance, right?"

The doctor hesitated for a while, but finally decided to obey the Prime Minister's request and began to organize a medical team to operate on the emperor.

The Prime Minister called for the Chief of the Police Department, and with him came the rifle that shot the bullet into the Emperor's chest.

"Gevlar standard rifle, the steel seal has been wiped off, it is well maintained, it has been adjusted, there is no magazine, only these are found..."

The Prime Minister looked at the Chief of Police. If the kneeling ceremony had not been abolished earlier, he felt that it would be more comfortable for him to kneel and speak.

"So...you are going to use this to deal with me?"

The Prime Minister's words didn't have much fireworks, but when they fell on people's ears, they were like a heavy hammer hitting the drum head.

The general manager's smile was forced, "We have locked in a square cleaner and are moving up the line..."

While the head of the headquarters was reporting the news, military representatives also rushed over.

The military is the force that the royal family relies on most and is also the most feared. In this entire incident, the royal family did not want to use them.

Externally, the emperor's attitude may have been that he did not want to force the nobles to trigger a civil war. In fact, the prime minister knew very well that the emperor did not completely trust the generals.

When the prime minister put forward some ideas, the royal family immediately summoned the top military officials and sent them out to perform military tasks. It can be said that it was to avoid aggravating the issue.

But it may not mean that they don’t have the intention and thoughts to be wary of the military.

These Prime Ministers know it, he has known it for a long time.

"Your Majesty's situation is not very good..." The Prime Minister just started, but was interrupted by representatives of the military.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, now is not the time to talk about this. I just received news that the federal fleet is slowly moving towards the island!"

The Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, then surprised, "So fast?" He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It had been almost twenty minutes, less than half an hour, since the emperor was assassinated.

If a telegram had been sent, they should have known about it.

This doesn't seem to be premeditated?

The Prime Minister didn't know, but he knew that now was not the time to waste time. "Keep an eye on them and try to slow them down. I will contact the federal people as soon as possible."

The military representative asked cautiously, "If we must..."

"Then fire!"

The Prime Minister stared at the military representative, "We can lose, but we have not lost our courage."

"We still have a chance to win back if we lose, but if we lose our courage, we will never have the chance."

After speaking, he turned and walked outside while arranging work. The first thing he had to do was to summon the federal diplomatic ambassador.

Others also got into work one after another, ready to respond to any possible emergencies.

Lynch didn't go to today's "party", and neither did the little Earl or the others. There were actually quite a few people who didn't go, but no one was surprised that Lynch and his gang didn't show up.

After all, they have been keeping a low profile for a long time. They didn't just start keeping a low profile in the past few days. This is not a surprise.

When the little earl heard the news, he was stunned.

Not just him, but others too.

Of course, Lynch also showed appropriate shock, as if it was difficult to speak. After a long time, he breathed out to express his awe at his fate.

Just when everyone started discussing who did this, a call that no one else expected at all came through as Lynch expected.

"Your Excellency, Governor, I will turn on the external speaker next. We are all together." After connecting, Lynch identified each other's identities and turned on the external speaker function of the phone.

When he heard that the group was together, he was relieved.

"When will you come back?" His Excellency the Governor's voice was very calm. He didn't even talk about the assassination of the emperor, but directly asked them when they would return to Amelia.

His attitude and words revealed a lot of information.

The new generation of nobles such as Lynch and the Little Earl have taken root in the Amelia region, and most industries there have their investments or have more or less connections with them.

On the one hand, they vigorously support the development of various local industries, and at the same time, they also extend their influence to the lowest level.

It can be said that except for the governor, it is them nobles.

The little earl and others all looked at Lynch. At this time, they believed in Lynch's judgment.

"They will return to the province of Amelia soon, and I have some things to return to my country. Maybe we will meet again later."

Lynch used the word "return to," rather than "go to," a subtle choice of words that lightened the governor's voice.

"That's great, do you have an accurate time..."

When the governor learned that the emperor had been assassinated, the first thing he thought of was that the prime minister and the nobles had lost their words.

This thought was only short-lived. He probably knew what the prime minister and the emperor were thinking, and he also knew that his situation was very delicate.

Immediately after this clarity of thought, he realized that this was a rare opportunity.

If the emperor does not die, he will work here for three to five years at most, and then he will step down and go back.

He has to leave office before the popular elections, so he doesn't have much time.

But now... the assassination of his brother-in-law has given him a very subtle opportunity. He can use "distrust" as a reason to refuse to communicate with the island.

Although he will definitely go back in the end, the time to go back will be extended for a long time...

Half a world away, the President of the Federation was also shocked by the news.

He looked at Mr. Trueman, who came to inform him of the news, and asked, "Should I call their prime minister and ask about their emperor's current physical condition?"

"Or should I stay calm now and let you deal with it first before speaking out?"

Similar situations appeared around the world, but there were some differences, and at least only Mr. Trueman knew who was driving it.

Of course, he didn't tell Mr. President that sometimes people become timid and scared when they get older, and it would be of no benefit to Lynch to let him know.
