Chapter 841: Chapter 749: The Warning from the Walloon Chamber of Commerce
Count Radetsky glanced at the sky, frowned slightly, and said to his staff officer: “Order the troops to speed up. We must enter Wavre before nightfall.”
His orders were to seize control of the Walloon Region’s transportation hub—Namur—as quickly as possible.
Given the possibility of France interfering in the Walloon Region’s situation, the sooner he arrived, the more time he would have for preparations.
However, just as his order was issued, a short bugle call suddenly rang out from the front of the column—a signal indicating an issue ahead and instructing those behind to halt.
Count Radetsky didn’t have to wait long. A cavalry captain rode swiftly from the vanguard, saluted him, and reported: “General, there’s a group of people blocking the road. Among them appear to be Walloon Chamber of Commerce officials and reporters.”
Radetsky frowned and sneered coldly: “Do these fools think they can block us the same way they stopped the Brussels security force?”
Just a day earlier, the security force sent by the Flemish Region’s government to “quell the unrest” in the Walloon Region was intercepted by Walloon Police. Ashamed, they retreated to Brussels, with over ten members even being arrested by the Walloon Police.
Count Radetsky spurred his horse forward along the road to the front of the column, where he saw dozens of Walloon Region officials linking arms to block the road. Flanking them stood more than a dozen individuals who appeared to be reporters.
He turned his head slightly to signal his attendant.
The attendant immediately stepped forward and declared loudly: “General Radetsky, acting under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, has come to resolve the unrest in the Walloon Region. You must disperse at once, or you will be considered defying His Majesty the Emperor.”
