In the restaurant, Ni Luozi didn't expect that the guests included Speaker Xingchen Luo and Chief Justice Haref of the Autonomous Region High Court.
Suoti Luo's grandfather Xingchen Luo passed away a few years ago. The current Xingchen Luo is Suoti Luo's father.
It can be said that the Prime Minister and Speaker of the Nile Autonomous Region are both relatives of Major General Bit.
Haref is a Sonya. The chief justices of the four autonomous high courts need to be nominated by the King of the United Kingdom and approved by the Parliament of the Kingdom, so they are all Sonya judges.
Haref is not very old, in his early thirties, from a noble family, full of arrogance. It is natural that he came to the Western Regions to gild his reputation. If he were in the United Kingdom, with his qualifications and status in the legal community, it would be impossible for him to serve as a judge of a state circuit court, let alone the chief judge.
The long table with white tablecloth is filled with rich dishes and bright candlesticks.
Lu Ming sat in the host seat, and next to him sat Jinzhi Shimi, a beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a snow-white lace dress, extremely pure and beautiful.
In fact, outsiders now have an illusion that when she married General Bit seven years ago, the general's wife was probably only about ten years old, which is not uncommon in the Western Regions.
On the left side of the long table sat the Haref couple and the Nilozi couple.
On the right are Xingchen Luo and his wife. In addition, Suoti Luo is sitting next to her parents. She is wearing a light green uniform suit, snow-white stockings wrapped around her slender long legs, and thin black high heels. The beautiful woman has turned into an extremely fashionable and sexy beautiful girl from the Western Regions.
Suotiro also holds a position in the military. She is the office director of Major General Bit, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. She is second only to the general and above everyone else. So although she is not his principal wife, her status is also very high.
Xingchen Luo and his wife loved their daughter more and more. Sutiro could now be regarded as half of the family in Xingchen Luo family. In the Western Regions where the status of women was very low, it could only be said that Sutiro's status was too high for her husband who was a concubine.
While tasting wine and chatting, Lu Ming said to Ni Luozi about the conflict on the Hunhuo Luo border: "The local police station has set up an investigation team. In fact, think about it, the unified command agency of the four autonomous police stations will be of great help in resolving disputes between your districts and combating crime."
After a pause, Lu Ming said, "That's all. I think the four districts should have a good talk and become part of the Imperial Confederation in the form of the Western Region Alliance."
Ni Luozi and Xingchen Luo were both stunned, not knowing what this senior Sonya general meant.
Now the four autonomous regions are all special autonomous regions of the United Kingdom, but Major General Bit's proposal is to separate the Western Region from the United Kingdom.
Haref glanced at Lu Ming and wanted to say something, but held back because although the other party was of grassroots origin, he was the spy chief of the First Control after all. His current proposal might be some kind of plan of the First Control.
"You can think more about this aspect." Lu Ming said thoughtfully.
In fact, the four major regions, under their own supervision and democratic elections, the southern Baoyue Autonomous Region, the western Jiahe Autonomous Region, and the current Nile Autonomous Region, can be said to have close ties with the West Black Mountain Fort.
He had been active in the southern Baoyue city-state and surrounding areas for a long time.
The Prime Minister was his old friend, Bao Riluo, the younger brother of the former King Baoyue.
Not to mention the Western Jiahe area, which is adjacent to the West Black Mountain Fort area and has always been a place where resistance organizations are active. The current democratically elected regime is like a sieve that has been infiltrated. It can be said that there is no difference from when it was under the leadership of West Black Mountain Fort.
Only the northeastern Hunhuo Luo region has always been supported by the Sonyas, who once committed a massacre in Nile City. Later, the coalition forces supported by the West Black Mountain Fort invaded its territory. Although the military orders of the West Black Mountain Fort were extremely strict, retaliatory killings occurred from time to time, and most of the Hunhuo Luo nobles were executed. Therefore, it can be said that the blood feud between the two sides cannot be resolved at all.
As for the recent incident where the Hunhuoluo armed forces equipped with rifles and even machine guns killed and injured hundreds of Nilo people, the weapons of the Hunhuoluo people naturally came from the Sonyans.
As a senior official of the First Control, Lu Ming knew that the First Control officials definitely did not provide weapons to the Hunhuo Luo people.
The first control is to do things in Sonia, and now he can't get around it.
In addition to serving as the chief of the military and police forces, he is also the highest-ranking person in charge of the First Control in the Western Region and the chief of the First Control in the Western Region headquarters. Of course, the intelligence personnel are now greatly reduced, and only the necessary personnel for collecting intelligence are retained. The level of the First Control in the Western Region headquarters has also been downgraded to a military-level unit, so he can control it with the rank of major general.
First of all, the official channels that control it are bound to not support Hunhuo Luo.
However, the arms must have come from Sonia. It is possible that they were sold by Sonia military officers who have good relations with the powerful people in Hunhuo Luo, or they might be sold through some gang channels of Sonia that sell arms, and so on.
Lu Ming took a sip of wine and said, "However, the Hunhuo Luo people are hated by the people in other parts of the Western Regions, and now they are smuggling military weapons. According to the report of the 51st Police Station Investigation Team, I feel that they are not capable enough to handle this matter. It just so happens that the Hunhuo Luo Council has been inviting me to visit the Hunhuo Luo Autonomous Region recently. I will take this opportunity to urge them to cooperate in investigating this matter thoroughly."
Harev smiled and said, "General Bit, your words seem to have a prejudgmental stance. As the joint commander of the security forces of the four autonomous regions, this is not good, right?"
He was born into a noble family in the United Kingdom and didn't care much for the grassroots Bit.
Moreover, Major General Bit is not the commander of the United Kingdom Defense Forces or something like that. The armed forces he commands are all the military and police of the Western Regions. In Halef's eyes, it doesn't matter. Except that he is a little afraid of him because of his identity as the first controlling spy chief, he has no scruples when talking about other things.
It's not like he had any personal relationship with the Hunhuo Luo people, but as a judge, he deliberately showed off his fair and just humanistic thinking and habitually criticized the loopholes in other people's words.
Lu Ming glanced at him and said with a smile: "You are right, I accept it humbly."
Harev smiled and said, "I don't have any good feelings towards the Hunhuo Luo people. Last month, didn't I approve the death penalty for an old Hunhuo Luo noble?"
Nile rolled his eyes and said, "The amount of the check you received is not small. However, the Special Work Department of West Black Mountain Fort asked me to do so, and I don't know the reason."
Seeing that Major General Bit was also afraid of this guy, he shook his head in his heart. This guy was born into a noble family in the United Kingdom and was really not easy to mess with.
On the other side, seeing that Bit was so respectful to him, Haref felt relieved and drank a few more glasses of wine. He no longer bullied Bit with words, otherwise it would seem that he didn't know how to behave.
Everyone continued drinking and left happily.
However, not long after Ni Luozi returned home, he received a shocking phone call.
However, it is said that Judge Haref was shot dead at the door of his own official residence. It is said that the gunman was a Hunhuo Luo, a minion of the old noble whose death sentence was finally approved by Haref, and he came to avenge his master.
