1948

"...The vehicle involved in the accident escaped. The police are offering a reward for the vehicle and driver responsible for the accident. Anyone with information can call... to provide clues."

"Next, we will report another piece of news. Last night, a family in Bupan was accidentally poisoned because they burned charcoal for heating and failed to take safety measures."

"When the police arrived at the scene, the family of six had no signs of life."

"Here, we remind everyone that heating in winter should be done in a safe and risk-free way..."

This is just a text message. During this period, many accidents occurred due to problems such as burning coal and charcoal for heating. People have begun to pay attention to the methods of open fire heating, but people still die every day.

Some areas have decided to initiate new proposals, proposing to ban the use of open fire heating methods such as burning coal and charcoal to keep warm. It is said that it has received a lot of support.

It would also be a great thing if the death of Brother Frank's family can raise awareness about the safety of heating in winter.

oh!

correct!

They forgot to say that when burning charcoal, never tie yourself to a chair, nor tie your whole family to a chair...

It was obviously an accident, not murder. No one would commit murder in such a stupid way, right?

In early April, near the middle of April, Skynet Service Company announced that it would donate 10 million to help the families of blackout victims get their lives back on track.

This is a special fund, an independent item. As long as someone in your family dies from cold or fire during a power outage, you can apply for a humanitarian relief supply and money without any threshold.

Although there is no threshold, there is a quantity limit and it is first come, first served.

Those people who protested every day outside the Presidential Palace of Bupen and protested outside the state government ran home to fill out the application forms.

For them, the death of a family member is indeed a sad and irreversible matter.

Since everything is irreversible, obviously the living people are more important!

Before the matter in Lynch's hands was solved, he encountered a new situation...

"That's what happened..." The little earl handed over the envelope in his hand.

Lynch took it and glanced at it. There was no problem with the mud seal, and there was no sign that the letter had been opened.

In the past, when there were no telephones, people communicated across regions by letter.

This is obviously an excellent way of communication for ordinary people. Write a letter, buy a two-cent stamp, and stick it on it.

Letters can be sent far away, even across oceans, to communicate with each other.

This is obviously not safe for ordinary people, nobles, and upper class people in society.

Because who knows whether the letter they wrote will be opened halfway, whether what they want to say will be known to others, or even tampered with by others?

Therefore, many envelope anti-tampering methods were born.

The more common ones are secret letters and mud seals.

MeSign, as the name suggests, is written according to a certain password table or code book. People without decryption methods will not be able to understand what is written on it.

This method of encrypted communication is still the most mainstream encryption method even now.

Take telegrams for example. Encrypted telegrams are encrypted using this principle. Anyone can eavesdrop on the contents of the encrypted telegram, but if they hear it but cannot decrypt it, it is meaningless.

Because of the emergence of instant communications such as telephones and telegraphs, mud seals gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

In the past, when nobles wrote letters, they would drop special beeswax on the cover of the envelope, and then stamp it with the noble's unique stamp.

It is basically impossible to open a letter without breaking the mud seal. This encryption method is very primitive and has long been eliminated. Only a few nobles in a few areas are still keen on doing it.

What Lin Qi had in front of him was this letter with a mud seal.

There is some gold powder in the vermilion mud seal, and it smells like a very special fragrance. It is not just ordinary sealing wax, but also contains many spices and even herbs.

The crown and the first and last letters in the seal above are in line with the seal and writing habits of the Gevra royal family, which is obviously

Letters from the royal family of Gefra.

Lynch got the letter knife and opened it.

This was a letter written by Genia to Lynch. Through some methods, she had someone take it out and give it to the little earl.

Although the young earl and other nobles are in the Federation, their connection with the island of Gefra has never been interrupted.

It took Lynch a short while to read the entire letter.

The general content of the letter was that Genia hoped that Lynch could take the Queen out, and that the Minister of War planned to marry the Queen.

Once he really does that, he can obtain the title of prince. If the queen dies in an accident, he can automatically be promoted to the emperor of Gefra!

Obviously he did think so, so once the queen married him, she might not live for more than half a year.

She is Genia's great-niece and her last and only relative in this world's direct bloodline.

Everyone else died in the shipwreck.

There are still some members of the royal family who are indeed alive, but those are not direct bloodlines.

Genia's idea is simple, even if the royal family is completely destroyed, it doesn't matter, but the queen should live.

She is still young and she still has a bright future. This is Genia's only request.

As Lynch's loyal physical partner for a while, Lynch still has a good impression of Genia.

She helped Lynch solve a lot of invisible troubles, and of course she also caused some troubles.

But the troubles it caused were far less than the ones she solved. Lin Qi had already made a decision in her heart, but she didn't say it directly.

He put the letter away and stuffed it back into the envelope, "Jenia wants me to bring the Queen here..."

The little earl was stunned for a moment, his eyes changed a little, but he didn't hide it.

"This is a good thing!" After a while, he said reluctantly.

For more than half a year, he has presided over most of the daily work of the exiled government in his capacity as the aristocratic speaker of the Ghafra government-in-exile.

He didn't like this before because he didn't have access to power before, and there were layers of big people suppressing him. By the time the power came into his hands, there wasn't much left.

Now he is the one with the highest status and the most power in the government-in-exile. He can clearly feel the beauty of power and enjoy the happiness that power brings.

If the Queen comes, will he take a step back?

He didn't hide his little thoughts in front of Lynch, because he knew that he couldn't hide them.

"Speak humanly." Lynch tapped his fingers twice on the armrest.

The little earl was a little embarrassed, "I don't want her to come."

Lin Qi nodded slightly, "Everyone in your position would think so."

"But my idea is different from yours. She should be brought here."

The little earl looked at Lynch with some confusion. He didn't believe that Lynch would deceive him or harm him.

Since the two have known each other for so many years, Lynch has always been kind to him, and if his mother wasn't a little older, he would have wanted to convince Lynch to marry his mother and become a family!

Of course, this could only be thought of, and he knew it was unlikely.

Lynch sorted out his thoughts and said, "If she stays in Gaevra, she will only be able to benefit the Minister of War in the end."

"Whether he is a prince or an emperor, he will be the biggest obstacle to your future return to the island to accept the power of Gefra!"

"You're going to spend your energy fighting him for a long time."

The little earl was a little unconvinced, "What if we go back and kill him?"

The idea is good, but there is no basis for implementation.

Lynch shook his head, "What if he announced the liberation of Gafra as soon as the Pengeos surrendered, and then took the initiative to invite you back to discuss personnel arrangements for the new government?"

"He can give up himself and become the emperor, but as a prince and the minister of war, you may not be able to deal with him in a short time."

After hearing this, the young earl still did not agree with Lynch's statement. He asked, "Then why don't I use the power of the federation to directly label him as a rebel?"

"I don't believe that he and the Gefra Army can still be rivals of the Federal Army!"

When he said these words, the little earl was actually sitting on the side of the Federation. He looked down on those in the Gefra Army from the bottom of his heart.

But he misjudged a problem.

Lynch couldn't help laughing, "They won't help you deal with the Secretary of War."

"Why?"

Lynch took out a cigarette and lit one, "Because for the federation, for the federal government, a disunified and infighting Gaevra is what we need."

"No matter what Gaevra is doing now, at least he once dominated this world before."

"In order to prevent Gafra from quickly climbing out of the trough, it is very necessary to have a limiter that limits Gafra's rapid recovery of production and people's livelihood."

"To the Secretary of War, you are his limiter."

"At the same time, he is also your limiter for you!"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing this, the little earl took a breath, he already understood.

He could even imagine that in the next period of time, the federal government would encourage him and the Secretary of War to fight to the death while making peace with each other.

only……

"Then what does this have to do with the Queen?"

He still doesn't quite understand. In fact, he has made great progress in government affairs during this period, but after all, he is still a young man, and some things are not far enough or thorough enough.

This is one of the reasons why he admires Lynch, because Lynch knows everything and nothing can stump Lynch!

Lynch almost didn't need to think about it and replied, "You, Secretary of War, the struggle between you is an internal fight, and you are all outsiders to the Federation."

"No matter which one of you wins, it's an outsider who wins, and it doesn't do any good to the federation."

"So if nothing else happens, the federal government will continue to balance the strength gap between you and let you continue to fight."

"But the Queen is different!"

"because……"

Lynch showed a bright smile, "I will become her adoptive father..."

"She is one of our own!"
