Chapter 754: Khaliask under heavy pressure
Seeing that Lufas was rushing his handsome face red due to anger, it seemed that it might explode at any time. Hayneshou and Angelica looked at each other and stood up to smooth things out.
"Governor Lufas, please be restrained."
Angelica smiled at Ryan carelessly and said, "So, Duke Kane, stop teasing Lufasqing anymore. Killing him here may anger the prime minister. Let's hear how he defends himself."
Euss crossed his hands in front of his chest, looked at his brother with a serious expression and said, "I also want to know what's going on. Why did the brother deliberately lead them to Lamar State even though he knew that the remnants of the North Hunter were chasing him?"
"Snooze~exha..."
Lufas took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger and a hint of guilt in his heart.
He sat back on his chair and said with a slightly gloomy face, "I don't know what you are talking about, there has never been a remnant party in Northampulia."
"Although Northampulia is still poor, economic growth has improved significantly over the past six months, and Northampulians have no reason to retaliate against me at this time."
"Ha~" Ryan leaned on the chair and looked at Lufas with a sarcastic look on his face. "Really?"
...
Northampulia capital, Haliarsk
Since Tolz's school took the Red Wing Karejas to the city early this morning, their first-day exercise has ended.
In the Governor's Office, Prince Cedric led a group of students to sit in the conference room, including the class instructor Knight Harr, who was also present.
An intellectual female student wearing a red school uniform of her school, wearing a pair of black fishnet stockings on her legs and a pair of glasses on her nose, was standing in front of the guidance imaging screen in the conference room.
"Everyone," said the female student to the students at the conference table with a serious expression. "Before coming to Northampulia, we heard that Governor Lufas vigorously promoted reforms, which improved the poverty status quo in Northampulia in a short period of time."
"However, after our group of spies came this day, everyone should have discovered it."
The intellectual girl pushed her glasses and said solemnly, "I'm afraid the facts are not as simple as we have heard of them."
Cedric nodded heavily, "Ada is right. Although it seems that Hariask is indeed becoming prosperous on the surface, there are profound problems hidden behind this false prosperity."
Cedric stood up and gestured to Aida, the other party knew how to operate the guide terminal and showed a photo on the display screen.
"This is a photo taken by a group of me, Aida and Fritz in the afternoon when they were conducting exercise topics."
The photo shows a miserable shanty town with dirty and dark tents everywhere.
Some of the thin and half-aged children couldn't even hold on to the tent, so they could only curl up in the shadow of the damaged buildings around them, and used their eyes that were so dark that they couldn't tell the original appearance, and looked carefully at the direction of the camera taking the photo.
These young girls are not isolated cases. As Ada continues to display more photos, a large number of residents living in shantytowns are exposed to ordinary students.
Most of these residents were wearing dirty clothes, and in midsummer there were even a large number of flies and mosquitoes flying around them.
But the Northampulians who only left their eyes numb seemed to have no idea and allowed mosquitoes to climb onto their bodies. Some even calmly threw some slow-moving bugs into their mouths and swallowed them.
"vomit……"
Some students immediately turned pale when they saw this scene and made a sound of dry retching in discomfort.
Knighthall knocked the table with his fist and warned seriously, "Sujing, please remember that you are future soldiers. You may see more miserable scenes when you go to the battlefield in the future. Please keep your heart strong."
Cedric signaled Aida to turn off the display screen, looked at the students with a heavy expression and said, "Everyone, this is the slum of Khalyask, and this is the richest state in Northampulia."
"I've asked some of the poor who can communicate." Cedric said with a gloomy expression, "they told me that Governor Lufas had never cared about them since he took office."
"Our dear governor has been busy levying heavy taxes on Northampulia's consortium and chamber of commerce. Although this will make the short-term quarterly statements look better, this practice is just a drinking poison to quench thirst."
"Haliask, and even the entire Northampulia people, have a very bad impression of Governor Lufas, but His Excellency the Governor has adopted a high-pressure stance to suppress all these dissatisfactions."
"But the so-called blockage is worse than loosening. This kind of forced suppression cannot last long. Once dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain level..."
Frizz, a strong boy with a always-fashioned expression, said, "Please don't take the contents of what you saw and discussed in this meeting today. Governor Lufas obviously doesn't want us to see this scene."
"These photos were taken only after we got rid of the 'guards' arranged by Governor Lufas to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. These guards have been consciously guiding us away from the slums."
As the instructor of Class 1, Knighthall stood up and ordered loudly, "Torz's school's first class! Please keep your experience today in mind. His Highness Cedric will present these issues to His Majesty as a representative."
"yes!"
After the meeting, Cedric sat weakly in the main seat of the conference room and rubbed his eyebrows. The other students had already dispersed one after another under the arrangement of instructor Knighthall. Only Fritz, Ada, and another male and female student were left in the room.
These people are the spy activity team directly under Cedric, which is basically composed of the same standard as the New Class 7 class, but the students' individual combat effectiveness is not as good as the Thorns of the New Class 7 class.
"Hey..." Cedric sighed long. "Although he had learned some of the truth from some channels, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious."
Fritz frowned and nodded, "This is no longer a matter of governing ability, but..."
Aida pushed her glasses and said unpleasantly, "Attitude issue, Governor Lufas probably has no intention of long-term development of Northampulia at all. This practice is like..."
"Hmph!" Cedric groaned angrily, "It's just a way to kill chickens to keep warm after making a fortune. Did he believe that he wouldn't be able to send Northampulia for a long time?"
"Your Highness, please be careful."
A heroic boy outside the door issued a reminder that a blue-haired, heroic middle-aged man wearing a captain's hat opened the door and then he carefully closed the conference room door.
Cedric barely squeezed a smile on his face, "It's Viscount Alside, sorry, I'm losing my composure."
Victor sighed softly, "Where is your highness, your heart is kind, it is normal for you to be unacceptable to this kind of scene."
"But be careful, this is the territory of Governor Lufas. Even if he goes to Lamar State at this moment, the Governor's Mansion will definitely have his eyes and eyes and eyes."
Cedric gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly, "Master Viscount, can we only watch Lufas do whatever we want with the Prime Minister's trust?"
Victor seemed to look at the angry crown prince with deep meaning, shook his head gently and said, "Your Highness, the prime minister whom Lufas relies on is also acting on the trust of His Majesty."
Victor didn't say much because of his identity and loyalty, but his meaning was already very clear.
Cedric's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the gloomy sky outside the window with a complicated expression.
