Chapter 233: Bring out the fire in their hearts
A week after Bloody Tuesday, the results of the investigation report signed in the name of the princess were made public.

In this report, it was described in detail how the galaxy governor Simon and the planet administrator Alvin sent people to spread rumors and incite the masses.

When the Imperial Princess was on a visit, she had the audacity to gather a large number of armed thugs armed with dangerous weapons, gather the 'deceived' people, and attack the Rose Square, which ultimately led to bloodshed.

The description of the bloody events in the report is not extensive, but is only briefly mentioned in a few strokes, on the grounds that it is not suitable for everyone to watch.

The number of people who died in this bloodshed was vaguely described as "a large number".

However, based on the observations of several 'Attack Effect Assessment Teams' from the Guards Regiment after they arrived at the scene, it was initially determined that more than 3000 people were killed directly under the attack of high-energy lasers.

In addition, there is a lot of collateral damage caused by chaos, such as stampedes, congestion, and mutual attacks.

The overall number of casualties may have exceeded 4000 people.
Although the word 'regent' was not mentioned throughout the report.

Simon and Alvin continued to insist that the whole thing was planned by them until the rope was put around their necks.

But if "insiders" in the imperial political arena carefully study this report, they will find that the word "Prince Regent" is actually written between the lines.

When he came to the study this time, he remembered to bring a chair.

There was no trace of frustration at the failure of his plan on his face.

"As expected of Her Majesty the Princess, she has easily accomplished what others cannot."

Just point directly at his nose and say that he is the mastermind of this incident.

Although Agnes ordered the planet to be sealed off and tried every means to suppress the news of 'Bloody Tuesday'.

With the expansion of human territory to today's scale, the excessive distance has hindered the connection between various planets.

Astral, the Prince Regent's childhood friend and staff member, sat on a chair and spoke.

"These two bastards deserve to die"

Not only did it suppress the 'voice of rebellion' in the Vendée Galaxy, temporarily reducing the people's distrust of the royal family in the Vendée Galaxy, but it also directly assigned such an important position as the Governor of the Galaxy to one of its own people.

But for Norton II, who has been 'farming' in various border galaxies for many years and has buried many chess pieces, it is not difficult to obtain the details of the incident on July 7th.

In this case, many people believe that Her Royal Highness Princess Agnes was actually a blessing in disguise in this incident.

In the ancient manor, Regent Norton II looked at the report presented on the desk and praised it with a smile.

Needless to say, these two people are all members of the Princess Party, and they are quite hardcore.

But for rulers, they can carry out differentiated management of different population-gathering planets and achieve 'intensive farming'.

Although the tax rate here in the Vendée galaxy has dropped a bit, the slightly higher tax rates from several other galaxies under different names are enough to make up for the shortfall in this area.

At the same time, after hanging Simon and Alvin, the new galaxy governor and planet administrator also took office at the speed of light.

"I didn't expect you to look so relaxed. The bribed governor of the galaxy and the administrator of the planet are just gone. It's a loss-making deal no matter what, right?"

Norton II closed the report, looked at Astral and said:

"When I asked someone to give them a message, I made it clear that we would find a way to form a concrete 'public opinion' and apply extreme pressure. But the premise is to try not to cause bloody casualties to civilians."

The regent's tone unconsciously became a little more serious. "But what about these two bastards? They knew that the Guards had changed commanders, but they still advanced so rashly. Not only did they cause huge casualties, but they also allowed our princess to legitimately clean the galaxy."

After speaking a lot of words, Norton II slowed down his speech slightly, and his whole body gradually calmed down.

"But this also proves this point again - people bought with money are often unreliable."

"Then what should we do now? The fire that was finally lit was extinguished before it even started to burn."

Astral frowned, feeling a little unwilling to accept that the planet he had spent so much time laying out was suppressed.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess put out the 'fire' with strong force, which is actually a good thing."

"Is this still a good thing?" Astral looked at the regent behind the desk and asked with some confusion.

"You are still blinded by what you see in front of you, Lord Astral. It seems that I will recommend more books to you next time."

Norton II spoke in a calm and unhurried tone and said with a smile:

“Why was the fire on Vendée 6 extinguished with force?
Because the civilians on the planet are afraid!
They are afraid of being visited by scavengers or secret police, they are afraid of being implicated by others because of the joint sitting system, and they are afraid that they will be like those people in the Place de la Rose."

Astral's eyes suddenly lit up. As a staff member of Norton II, he had realized what the regent wanted to say.

"'Fear' and 'anger' in this situation are often related. At the moment they are just suppressing their 'anger' in their hearts."

"Coupled with the new policies that were enacted subsequently, they temporarily gave up their thoughts of resistance." Astral said.

"Yes, although the riots on Vendée Six seem to have subsided, the seeds of anger have actually been planted. When public opinion breaks out next time, it will only become more intense."

Norton II leaned back in his chair, and his entire upper body was hidden in the shadows.

"I would like to thank Her Royal Highness for finally embarking on the path of violence to quell chaos.
Although compared to other methods, this is already a 'quick knife to cut through the mess' approach.

But unfortunately, this approach will only plunge the empire into a slow death.

Vendée No. 6 is by no means the last place where riots broke out. What if similar or more powerful riots occur in other colonies next time? Thermo-pressure floor scrubbing? "

Astral nodded and then said:
"So for Her Royal Highness, Pandora's box has been opened, so what should we do?"

"Bring out the fire in the hearts of the people." The regent's somewhat cold voice came from the shadows.

"Other than that, we don't want to do anything on the surface, put our fists away and quietly recharge.

Let's make some arrangements. We will leave for the base camp tomorrow. The two dukes have worked hard at the front line for so long. It's time for them to come back and rest.

Don’t the people on Her Royal Highness’ side always think that we have taken away the top spot? If they want to make achievements on the battlefield so much, let them go."

"Yes, my lord."

Astral nodded and stood up to leave.

As a result, I heard Norton II add another sentence.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Send a reliable person to contact Mr. Amber."
