Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

After Ferguson Fitzgerald left.

The commander of the Sharo Guard, Edgeworth Jeremy, instantly turned grim, his previous composure gone.

In no time, the ashtray on Edgeworth Jeremy's table was piled high with half-smoked cigarette butts.

It's clear that Edgeworth Jeremy was actually quite anxious when faced with such a crucial decision that would determine his future...

However, Edgeworth Jeremy just didn't want Ferguson Fitzgerald to see his true state.

In fact, Edgeworth Jeremy himself did not expect that the people of Qian would send someone of Chen Guyan's status to the capital city in person for this cooperation!

Upon learning that Chen Guyan would be representing the capital in negotiations with him if he agreed, Edgeworth Jeremy had already decided to meet with Chen Guyan...

As Ferguson Fitzgerald just said, Chen Gu's visit to the capital city is enough to demonstrate the importance and sincerity that the capital attaches to this matter.

Moreover, Edgeworth Jeremy no longer needed to worry about whether the other party had the authority to make the conditions he proposed.

However, Edgeworth Jeremy was about to make a very risky and adventurous decision.

Although Edgeworth Jeremy spoke of the matter quite casually in front of Ferguson Fitzgerald just now.

It's as if as long as both sides reach an agreement, I can take control of the capital city at any time.

Edgeworth Jeremy perfectly embodied the attitude of having everything under control.

But in reality, how easy is it to start an uprising in the capital?

Even though Edgeworth Jeremy commands the Sharo Guard.

However, turning the tide in the capital is definitely not as simple as Edgeworth Jeremy made it out to be in front of Ferguson Fitzgerald.

There are simply too many uncertainties involved...

Moreover, we only have one life, and nobody wants to joke about it.

Those in high positions, like Edgeworth Jeremy, are even more afraid of losing their lives.

Edgeworth Jeremy wanted to cooperate with the Great Qian because he believed that the ultimate winner of this war of the century would most likely be the people of Qian.

Edgeworth Jeremy had been secretly watching those Salo who had long since surrendered to the Qian Kingdom.

It was during this process that Edgeworth Jeremy discovered that the generals or high-ranking officials who had sided with the Qian people were living quite comfortably there.

Furthermore, the people of Qian Kingdom thoughtfully built high-end residential areas with very strict security measures for these representative refugees to ensure their safety and comfortable living environment.

Although Sharo's intelligence agency never stopped its assassination and elimination operations against these traitors who had defected to the Qian Kingdom.

Thanks to the strong protection of the Daqian side, most of the important figures who defected to the Daqian side were not successfully assassinated.

This data is one of the reasons why Edgeworth Jeremy was particularly interested.

Without a doubt, Edgeworth Jeremy, as a defector, would have received exceptionally good treatment.

At the very least, his treatment would certainly not be worse than that of Yar Gustav, the first high-ranking official from the Qian Kingdom to defect to the Qian Kingdom!

After all, if everything goes smoothly—Edgeworth Jeremy is about to give the people of Qian the great gift of the entire core of the Salo Kingdom and the Salo capital!

The people of Qian Kingdom will most likely resolve the Sala War quickly and decisively because of this change, thus opening the door to their invasion of the Western Luo homeland...

Edgeworth Jeremy's contribution cannot be described as merely enormous.

Therefore, Edgeworth Jeremy was very confident in making demands on the capital!

However, everything is relative.

If things go well, Edgeworth Jeremy will undoubtedly be a great contributor to the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, for Sharo, the name Edgeworth Jeremy would henceforth surpass Yer Gustav as Sharo's number one traitor!

As long as Salo exists, Edgeworth Jeremy's name will be forever remembered as the "first Salo traitor."

However, Edgeworth Jeremy didn't seem to care much about this issue.

Because, after comprehensively considering the overall situation and comparing the Great Qian Dynasty with the Anti-Qian Alliance, Edgeworth Jeremy believed from the bottom of his heart that the people of the Qian Dynasty had a much higher chance of having the last laugh than the Anti-Qian Alliance.

If nothing unexpected happens—at that time, Shaluo and even the entire Western Luo Continent will continue to exist in the form of the Great Qian Protectorate.

Therefore, Edgeworth Jeremy didn't have to worry about his name being forever nailed to the pillory of shame.

At that time, even the Sala will no longer exist, so what "traitor" will there be to speak of....................

However, what is troubling Edgeworth Jeremy now is—how much chance of success does this collaboration with the Qian people have?

To be honest, he himself wasn't entirely confident that he could complete the "world-shaking" operation in the capital.

After all, the garrison in the capital city consisted of more than just his personal guard.

Moreover, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Salo is not to be trifled with.

If they were to start a rebellion, would there be any "traitors" within the Imperial Guard? These are all questions.

Although Edgeworth Jeremy believed he had replaced all the key military officers of the Guards with his own men.

But after all, you can't see into someone's heart. If even one traitor who isn't on his side appears, the entire "overturning the world" operation could fail!

With these concerns in mind, Edgeworth Jeremy is now torn between whether or not to take advantage of Chen Guyan's risky actions to deliver a big gift to Salo's president, Kolcraw Grant.

Clearly, compared to the other two situations, taking credit for Chen Guyan's actions has many advantages, such as a higher success rate, lower risk, and less difficulty.

The difference is that the former bet that the Chinese would be the ultimate winners, and his actions were a timely investment in advance.

The latter bet that the Anti-Qian Alliance would win, and that he could portray the whole thing as a classic entrapment operation, faking an uprising to lure the top intelligence officer of the Great Qian into the capital city and make him submit!

One became a great hero on the side of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the other became a great hero on the side of the Anti-Qian Alliance.....................

Edgeworth Jeremy, who was smoking silently, tried several times to pick up the phone on the table to call the Internal Affairs Department, but stopped himself each time.

At this moment, Edgeworth Jeremy's inner turmoil was growing stronger and stronger.

Although Edgeworth Jeremy believed that the Gan people had a higher probability of being the final winners.

But this doesn't mean the anti-Qian alliance has no chance of having the last laugh.

If this choice is right, wealth and glory will be yours for generations to come; if it is wrong, it will be a step into an abyss, and the whole clan will suffer!

This difficult choice plunged Edgeworth Jeremy into an unprecedented dilemma...
