"Your Majesty has been on guard against you, this is not something that just happened now."
Miss Windsor said at this time, probably thinking that Jenkins might not understand the inside story, so she explained to him intimately:
"The current senior officers of the Royal Army, except for those nobles who have had prestige in the army for generations because of their titles, are almost all selected by His Majesty. The army's loyalty to His Majesty is very high. However, because the Royal Navy is backed by Nolan, Nolan There are differences between the aristocrats and the nobles of Beldyland, so the navy has been controlled by the so-called "old nobles" faction since His Majesty succeeded to the throne. Until today, His Majesty's control over the Kingdom's navy is also very weak, so Sailors and naval officers have always been on His Majesty's watchful eye, compared to the ground forces, which are dubbed the 'Royal' Army."
"This can be seen from the annual military expenditure."
Earl Hesha raised his head and added, "And it can be seen from our title."
There is more than one duke in the Royal Army of the kingdom. Only in this way can the prestige of the army be consolidated and the control of the royal family strengthened. But Mihail, who is the supreme commander of the navy, only has the title of Marquis.
He is not an idiot who has just been promoted. On the contrary, Marquis Mihail has been in this position for more than ten years. No matter from which point of view, he should have been promoted to "Duke". His credit and hard work, All deserve this honor.
Jenkins nodded slightly when he heard this. Marquis Mihail and Earl Hessa, as well as the naval officers behind them and the entire Royal Navy were very willing to support him. Except for the Marquis who saw the relationship between his daughter and Jenkins, it might not be that he was unwilling to be ruled by the royal family. suppressed thoughts.
Once their plan to support Jenkins is successful, the navy can turn around, and the so-called "royal" title may also fall on the Nolan's army.
Marquis Michael, who has always been cautious, rarely makes political investments, which is why he has been in charge of the Royal Navy for nearly ten years despite being disliked by the Queen. But this time was different. After discovering the blood of the royal family wandering outside under very unexpected circumstances, and discovering the abnormal relationship between his daughter and the young royal descendant, Marquis Michel realized that he had caught a man who would never There are second chances.
The conversation continued, and the Marquis, who was shaking his wine glass slightly, looked at the young man in front of him. He is calm, confident, and as cautious as himself. Even though he has not been trained by an aristocratic family, and has not even participated in any serious political activities, his sharpness and unusual thoughts and ideas are better than most of the idiots who have been mixed in the kingdom's bureaucratic system.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Marquis Mihail knows that his choice is right, completely right. He took that opportunity and made the most of it, the only downside was that his daughter, Britney Mihail, didn't get the happiness she deserved...
"Therefore, there is absolutely no need for the navy to go north. Just stay and garrison locally."
Jenkins didn't notice what one of his "father-in-laws" was thinking, and he was still expressing his opinions:
"Queen Isabella probably doesn't think that her transfer order will work. As long as you use the recent talks between the three kings, Nolan can easily prevaricate the transfer order without the reason of the navy, and no one in the country will question it. You. She probably discovered my relationship with you long ago, and this time she just wanted to disgust us. It's not a big deal, don't worry about it. "
Jenkins snorted, and took a sip of the pear juice carefully, feeling that because of the hot weather, the juice tasted weird like it had been mixed with too much water:
"She told me that after the meeting between the three kings, she will announce her chosen successor. Now it's almost time for a showdown. As long as she is not allowed to accuse the navy of 'treason', nothing else will matter. important."
Now that the issue of the heir is mentioned, the Marquis and the Earl naturally want to ask about the assassination incident last week. No matter how well the news was blocked, this matter was finally spread out somehow, but because people who knew the details tacitly said nothing, and the real truth was even more confusing, so no matter how outrageous the version spread outside , People don't know what happened that night.
Jenkins is a witness, and guessed the truth with certain means. He told Marquis Mihail and Count Hessa what he had seen and thought about. When he heard the dying Queen announce her will in her hospital bed, Jenkins clearly saw the Marquis' face change:
"You really are a good person."
He said of Jenkins that Jenkins asked:
"If you were there..."
Now here are all reliable people, so Marquis Mihail is not afraid of being heard. But before he spoke, Earl Hesha had already given the answer:
"If we were there, you would be king now."
He was so outspoken that he only came close to telling the story of "Queen Isabella was sent to see Death at that time". The corner of Jenkins' mouth trembled, as if he was surprised or smiling, but it was more of an "as expected" attitude. As for Miss Windsor standing next to him, he remained silent.
She and the queen have feelings for each other. Although it cannot be said that she grew up beside Queen Isabella, at least she lived beside her for a long time. Even if she thinks that she is treating herself as a pawn, it is difficult for Miss Windsor to kill the old man.
But Miss Windsor also knew that, rationally speaking, the opinions of the two admirals were correct.
"I won't kill people casually."
Jenkins once again expressed his attitude:
"At least don't kill unnecessary people."
"That's one of the reasons we chose to marry our daughter to you."
Marquis Mihaile nodded to Jenkins. This was the first time Hathaway and Britney had been mentioned in their conversation these days since the two girls moved into Jenkins' house.
"Not only because of your royal blood, but also because you are a good person, or you are a good person in an unconventional sense. Even if we want to have a new king, we don't want the next king to be a tyrannical person."
This is a compliment to Jenkins, and Jenkins will naturally not refute. He thought about it, and thought that since the two girls were mentioned, this matter could be discussed now. After all, he planned to marry everyone, and he didn't want to make the girls just his lovers.
