On the other side, everyone in Lorraine was not idle. Looking at the tight deadline, they could only tidy up briefly and salute, and then got on the road again and rushed to the Military Affairs Department of Ruman City, the capital of the empire, to report.
On the day before leaving, all the residents spontaneously came to see them off. Lorraine was very moved when she saw everyone's reluctance to leave, and held another banquet with everyone, eating and drinking.
Had a meal.
He didn't give up until the sun turned to the west and everyone reminded him that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to catch up with his next stop before dark.
Before Lord Lorraine left, he was very reluctant to leave these villagers, and followed his usual practice of politely greeting them for most of the day.
Luolina, who had already become impatient, was aside, coughing non-stop.
Lord Luo was a little drunk, and even though he was emboldened by the wine, he dared to ignore her. Before getting in the car, he pulled his old butler Ferro over and gave him some instructions.
He pulled Ferro and said: "My dear old butler, we have money now. I want to take revenge for the days when I had no money before. After I leave, don't be idle and spend as much money as you can for me.
Let’s spend a lot of time decorating.
Doors, windows, etc., all are as big as I can open them, and the glass is all made by Wellins. Don’t be afraid of spending money, we have plenty of money now~!"
Luolina listened to his declaration like a nouveau riche, and couldn't help but feel funny and angry. She couldn't help but cough loudly again.
Although Ferro was not interested in his young master's remarks and frowned, he glanced at her lightly when he heard the commotion, and then said calmly: "Yes, Sir. Don't worry.
I will ask people to deal with the windows and doors and try to open them as wide as you asked, improve the quality and reduce the quantity."
Lorraine couldn't help but was stunned and said: "Reducing the number? What does this mean?"
Ferro smiled faintly and said: "Sir, this is done to reasonably avoid taxes."
"Reasonable tax avoidance?" After hearing his words, all the people present who had been fighting arduously against the evil tax collectors who took money out of their own pockets all pricked up their ears.
Luolina forgot to cough for a moment and looked at the housekeeper in surprise.
Leo, the little ruffian who had racked his brains to evade taxes, was even more shocked. His whole body was shaken. He didn't even eat the big apple and roast chicken drumsticks on his lips. He jumped up, held up the car window, and stared.
His big black and white eyes looked at Ferro without blinking.
Ferro smiled faintly, and then explained: "The empire has always required the collection of window tax and door tax. Although those tax collectors are all like vampires, thanks to the blessing of God Zhuosen, they have grown up while being greedy.
You got a pig brain. When collecting taxes, you only collect money according to the quantity.” (Note, it is said that that kind of situation can still be seen in Europe. Don’t be surprised to see the windows of the castle being nailed shut. They
That's for tax evasion.)
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitate. Looking at the butler who smiled like an old fox, he sighed deeply and said: "Ferro, Ferro. I told you before, without you, I will not be able to do anything."
Do you know how to do it?”
Ferro still looked calm, bowed slightly and said, "Sir, you said so."
Lorraine looked at him, and then sighed: "Then I will say it one more time. If I don't have you, I really don't know what I would do."
Ferro didn't care about his compliment, he just smiled slightly.
Lorraine continued: "By the way, there is more. Install all the irrigation facilities such as water trucks, and strive to have one or two in each village. Don't be afraid of spending money, there will be enough water for irrigation
Only by using the land can we produce enough food and we can collect more land rent.”
"Yes, I understand, sir."
"Also, and ah. The roads in our area should also be well repaired. 'If you want to be rich, you must first build roads.' This sentence is universally true no matter where it is found."
"Yes, sir."
"By the way, the section of road leading to the main road needs to be built as much as possible. In this way, when the tax collectors come in, they will scatter those bastards with green onions in their nostrils. Let them
From now on, whenever I mention Lorraine Castle, I will get a headache. Naturally, the headaches will be less frequent. The less people come, the tax collection will naturally be less."
Ferro smiled, then patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Sir, you don't need to tell us that we have already thought of it. Just like what you mentioned before about "mine warfare" and "tunnel warfare", we absolutely guarantee that we will let them continue.
Not a single grain of food can be taken away."
Lorraine couldn't help sighing after hearing this, and imagined with great satisfaction that those tax collectors were like Japanese devils, being beaten to pieces by the hard-working and brave residents under their rule, and then said: "So and so
, then I’ll feel relieved.”
He thought for a while and found that there was nothing more to explain, so he got into the carriage.
At this time, on the other side, Vera was also in tears. Aunt Nancy and other aunts were like, "When you see someone, be sweeter," or "When you see trouble, stay away."
, 'When you see a bad guy, scream quickly' and so on, while giving some warnings, I got into the car carrying a lot of snacks.
The driver of the car was impatient for a long time. He looked at the sky and knew that if he was a little later, he might not be able to catch up with Sutou. He didn't dare to be lazy at that moment and raised his whip.
There was only a crisp crack of the whip, and the wheels of the carriage were pulled by four strong horses. They immediately started rolling and galloped away into the distance.
Vera looked back reluctantly and saw that the scenery on both sides kept retreating. After a while, the Lorraine Castle disappeared into the distance~!
Vera looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little sad. She had just been back for a few days and was leaving again.
She twitched her cute little nose, but didn't notice Leo's big black eyes turning, and then quietly stretched out her chubby little paws into the basket next to her, and took out something from the middle.
Two big red strawberries, and then handed one to Melina, who was staring at him next to her.
When the little girl saw that Leo had not forgotten her, she immediately laughed and narrowed her beautiful big eyes into the shape of a crescent moon. Then she held the big strawberry that could only be found in the countryside with both hands and took a bite.
.
Vera looked at it and was startled for a moment. Then she reacted and exclaimed in low voice. Then she raised her hand in annoyance and slapped away Leo's extended paw. She said: "Don't move.
, this is what Aunt Nancy and the others gave me."
Leo couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Weier, don't be so stingy. Isn't it true that all the good things I have are given to you?"
Vera said angrily: "Then you can't just take it secretly without saying hello. This is a matter of politeness~!"
Leo said: "Please, you see I'm so cute, it doesn't matter if you divide us up~!"
After saying that, he kept blinking his big eyes towards Vera.
Vera tilted her head seriously, thought for a moment, and saw little stars shining in Leo's eyes, then she had to raise her hands in surrender and said: "Okay, okay. I'll just share it with you. It's really a shame."
I can’t help you, you little hooligan. I really owe you in my previous life~!”
She muttered as she opened the lid of the basket.
Leo cheered immediately, pulled Melina and moved closer. The three of them bumped into each other, carefully studying the food inside and how to eat it in the best way.
Luo Linna looked at it and felt relieved. Then she turned to look at Lorraine, only to find a faint look of worry on his face.
Luolina couldn't help but be startled and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Lorraine smiled, and then said: "Although I don't know what happened, the Ministry of Military Affairs is so eager to recruit people this time, which always gives me a very bad feeling. Maybe I am worrying too much?"
Luo Linna's heart also sank. Although she was devoted to studying magic and did not understand military and government affairs, she still knew a little about the procedures that Maple Leaf Danlin graduates should follow. The Imperial Military Affairs Department did seem to have something wrong this time.
Thinking of this, she forced a smile and said comfortingly: "You don't have to worry too much. When we get back to Ruman City, let's go find my father and find out. It should be nothing serious."
Lorraine couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in surprise: "You...your father?"
Luolina raised her eyebrows and said: "Yes, he is the deputy minister of the Empire's Ministry of Finance and is responsible for the allocation of various major matters in the Empire. If there is any trouble, we will definitely not hide it from him."
When she said this, she saw Lorraine looking at her with a strange look. Even though she was a powerful magician, she felt a little uncomfortable under that look.
Too comfortable, he held on and said: "You...what are you looking at~!"
Lorraine murmured: "I didn't expect that your old man is actually the God of Wealth~! If you had told me earlier, wouldn't we have been able to take advantage of this relationship and make a lot of money?
Why bother fighting so hard~!”
Luolina couldn't hear what he was mumbling clearly, so she couldn't help but frowned and said, "What did you say?"
Lorraine hurriedly shouted, "Haha, no, it's nothing."
He bared his white teeth and smiled, then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. No matter what it is, we will know it when the time comes. There is no use in guessing here now."
He paused for a moment, then lifted up his cloak, fell down on the large chair, and said, "I drank too much just now. I'll take a nap first. Call me when you get there."
Then he rested his head on Lorena's thighs, and felt the smoothness like gelatin coming from those plump thighs, as well as the amazing elasticity that annihilated the soul and eroded the bones. He couldn't help but sigh in comfort, feeling in his heart
He thought to himself: I didn’t expect that Luo Linna’s treatment was not enough, but these thighs were so comfortable when resting on them.
Then I couldn't help but rub my head on it, and made up my mind that even if I was exposed to a high voltage of 100,000 volts, I would never get up.
Luo Linna immediately stiffened and exclaimed in low voice. Seeing Luo Lin so exhausted, she couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, but then she relaxed.
She looked around, but found that the other side was completely occupied by Vera and the other three, and there was indeed no room.
Luolina couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and thought to herself bitterly: Just like what Vera said just now, I really owe you in my previous life~!
Then he stretched out his slender hands and gently stroked Lorraine's thick black hair. He found that within a short time, Lorraine had already snored and fell asleep.
Amidst the sound of the wheels, the group of people quickly disappeared into the sky.
I don't know how long it took, but Lorraine suddenly woke up and found that the carriage had stopped. There was a gentle knock on the door.
He raised his head, only to find that Luolina was leaning back on the seat and had also fallen asleep. Next to her, Vera was also sleeping on the left and right, hugging Leo and Melina, sleeping soundly in the car.
Lorraine wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, then sat up and said, "Are we here?"
The guard's voice came from outside, saying: "Yes, sir, we will rest here today."
Lorraine immediately opened the car door and looked up, only to find that it was already night, and all the guards were holding torches to illuminate. There was an inn not far away with bright lights on.
Lorraine yawned and jumped out of the car. When she looked up, she found the guard with a strange face looking at the car.
He couldn't help but wonder: "What are you looking at?"
The guard hurriedly lowered his head and said, "No...it's nothing."
After saying that, he quickly stepped aside.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel curious, and looked back, only to see that a large area of Lorena's thigh was soaked with her own saliva. In addition, it was hot and she was wearing thin clothes, and she could even see through the fabric, and she could see the white skin underneath.
Huahua’s perfect leg shape.
Moreover, looking at the area soaked with saliva and the messy marks left on the clothes because his head rested on those beautiful legs, it is easy to suspect that this is after some kind of strenuous exercise.
What's left.
Lorraine couldn't help being startled. She turned around and saw the admiration in the guard's eyes. He said without thinking: "You misunderstood. It's not like that."
The guard blinked and said knowingly: "Sir, don't worry. I didn't see anything."
Lorraine looked at the man pretending to be innocent and pure, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that whatever he said would be in vain.
He thought for a while, after Luo Linna woke up, she would definitely be furious. For the sake of her own safety, it was better to stay away, and then said quickly: "You are responsible for waking them up, I will go to the inn first.
"
After saying that, he quickly slipped aside.
After a while, as expected, I heard a roar like a monster in the dark night: "Lorraine, you damn bastard~! I have to kill you today~
!”
Immediately afterwards, there were sounds of electric shocks, screams, wails, and exclamations.
After a few days of silence, everyone in Lorraine got into carriages and rushed towards the leader of the empire, Ruman City.
On this day, they turned onto a wide road.
The number of pedestrians and vehicles on the road gradually increased. The further we walked, the busier it became.
Later, I found that the road was busy with traffic, and the flow was not flowing alone. There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, coming and going continuously. The bustling crowd continued from the city to the horizon, and then disappeared. It was extremely prosperous.
Lorraine stuck out his head and looked forward. He saw a thin blue-black line on the horizon. He immediately knew that it was the darling of the gods, the greatest city in the world, and the city of light that never sleeps.
The city - the city of Ruman.
At this time, due to more and more pedestrians and vehicles, the road is slightly congested. The further you go, the slower and slower you go.
The guards and coachmen couldn't help but become anxious, and they shouted loudly: "The Count of Lorraine is here, there are many people waiting, please dodge quickly~"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly~!"
"..."
Pedestrians on the road didn't move at all when they saw the gorgeous carriage here.
Some people even turned around and cursed: "The count is amazing~! Another country bumpkin from some small country place~! My cousin is still a marquis~!"
All the guards were arrogant and arrogant. After hearing this, they couldn't help but become furious. They raised their whips and were about to step forward.
Lorraine hurriedly stopped everyone and said: "Forget it, forget it. It doesn't matter. Just a little later, just a little later. It's not worth it for this trivial matter."
He knew that it was not a big deal at first, but if a fight really broke out, his reputation would be really bad. Anyone who talks about it in the future will know that there is a country bumpkin because others did not give way.
So he played off the local bully temper of the playboys and started fighting with others by acting like hooligans.
When everyone saw Lorraine speaking, they had no choice but to endure it.
Following the flow of vehicles and people, they moved forward slowly.
After another long time, we arrived at the gate of Naruman City.
Lorraine raised his head and looked at the tall city wall, and was surprised to find that the wall was twenty meters high. The city gate was unusually wide, more than ten meters wide, with a carriageway in the middle and pedestrians on both sides.
The sidewalks are clearly marked and not messy at all.
I saw a surging crowd at the city gate, bustling with pedestrians and merchants coming and going, constantly passing through the city gate.
Lorraine was surprised to see that the cantilever beam above the city gate was actually made of pure iron, and the two wide city gates were actually covered with thick pig iron, covered with sharp iron nails and barbs, which was daunting.
A group of guards stood on each side of the city gate. They were lined up in the shape of wild goose wings. They were wearing exquisite and gorgeous brass armor. The armor was polished so brightly that it reflected the silhouette of people, almost like a mirror.
They also wore the same brass helmets on their heads, with blood-red tassels hanging down to the back of their shoulders like horse hair.
The guard held a half-man tall tower shield with his left hand, a slender war spear in his right hand, and a long sword on his waist. He stood motionless at the city gate, as majestic as a statue of the God of War.
Seeing their shining golden look, Vera's beautiful blue eyes immediately turned into heart shapes. Like a nymphomaniac, she kept murmuring: "It's so bright~! It must be very valuable."
If I could grab two sets..."
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitate, and had no energy to care about that silly girl who was half dragon blood.
At this time, Leo rolled his eyes, and then he took advantage of the city gate and the opportunity when the vehicle almost stopped to push the door open and jump out.
Everyone couldn't help but be startled and turned their heads hurriedly.
Everyone took a closer look and found that the little ruffian was unbuttoning his pants. They were all stunned.
An ominous premonition arose in Lorraine's heart, and she hurriedly said: "Leo, you...what are you doing?"
Leo unbuttoned his belt and said matter-of-factly: "Of course I followed the example of Wabador and my old man, and peed heavily at the city gate, leaving traces."
After hearing his shameless declaration, Luo Linna couldn't help but blush and took a sip. Then she stretched out her hand and pulled Vera, and then she opened her big, watery eyes and looked at Lei with curiosity.
The European Milena also stopped her. She angrily blocked her slender hand in front of Milena's eyes and said: "Don't look, don't look. Girls, don't look at that annoying thing."
Disgusting filth."
Then he turned his head and looked at Lorraine, with a half-smile and said: "Really... I really learn from whoever I follow. If you follow a gangster, you will become an exhibitionist~!"
She was only talking to Lorraine, but she didn't notice that the little girl Melina poked her head, stood on tiptoes, stared at her innocent and pure eyes, untainted by a trace of worldly dirt, and followed the touch of her palm.
At the top, I continued to look at it curiously.
Lorraine gave Lorena a very depressed look and said, "I didn't teach him this."
As he said that, he reached out and took Lorena's hand, raised it up, and blocked it from the cheeky little girl's eyes.
Melina glared at him very unhappily, and then under Lorena's stern gaze, she calmly hugged her doll and sat back.
Lorraine turned over, looked at Leo, and said: "Okay, stop playing. Come up quickly. You don't need to mark this place anymore. Believe me, your ancestors have already marked this place a long time ago."
Peed."
Leo couldn't help being extremely disappointed and said, "Are you sure?"
Lorraine nodded quickly and said: "I'm sure, and you should come up quickly. If the guards at the city gate find out that you want to urinate here, you will be fined heavily."
Leo was immediately startled. He looked sideways and found the guard at the door looking over. He couldn't help but lamented, then fastened his trousers and climbed back onto the carriage hand and foot.
Everyone in Lorraine came to the city. Under the guidance of the guards, they did not go to the inn, but because Leo was there, they went directly to the Grand Duke's residence in Ruman City.
Because Leo had a special status and was too young, everyone discussed it and settled down quietly without making any noise. As for all matters related to the royal family, we had to wait until Catherine came and she made the decision before making arrangements.
What else?
Should Lord Lorraine be allowed to go directly to His Majesty the Emperor and tell him that I am the adulterer of your niece, Princess Catherine, and that we should meet and have a drink together?
It is estimated that before he could finish his words, he would have been pushed out and beheaded.
After settling in, Lorraine took a short rest and then had to worry about her own business.
After all, he is now a member of the system, and Lorraine is always in awe of this huge system, whether in his previous life or in this life.
Early the next morning, I got in the car and went to report.
When he arrived in front of the Imperial Military Affairs Department, got off the car, and looked at the magnificent multi-story building in front of him, the first thing that greeted him was a loud shout.
An officer walked out of the gate and shouted to Lorraine: "What are you doing? You are not allowed to stay in front of the Military Affairs Department, go away, go away."
Lorraine looked at the person opposite and was stunned for a moment before he realized that this guy should be the gatekeeper. He couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, he is indeed from the Imperial Military Affairs Department, even a gatekeeper is so powerful~!
He glanced at the other party and said angrily: "It's official business. I'm here for business."
Seeing Lorraine's confused look, the officer guarding the door was a little confused about the details, so he took a breath and said, "Since it's official business, let's register first."
After Lorraine registered, she walked into the tightly guarded building of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Looking at the closed office doors on both sides and the various people coming in and out, she didn't know what to do for a while.
Lorraine cursed that old guy Russell in his heart. He called the young master here in such a hurry, but let me grind my teeth here with these bureaucrats. It's really abominable.
There was no other way. Lorraine could only grab a person who was passing by, gave him a toothy smile, and then asked: "Excuse me, brother, where should I go to handle the report?"
After hearing the inquiry, the other party looked at Lorraine carefully. Probably seeing Lorraine's luxurious clothes and extraordinary appearance, he immediately put away his impatient expression, and then said with a smile: "Turn right ahead, there is the third office on the right.
.Where does this brother come from?”
Lorraine also smiled and said: "I just came out of Maple Leaf Danlin. Thank you, brother."
"Oh, young talent, you are busy, you are busy." The man said with a smile on his face.
Lorraine left him and turned down the corridor. The guy also cursed as if he suddenly realized: "I'm showing my wrong feelings. Maple Leaf Danlin hasn't graduated yet, so this guy must be expelled~!"
Lorraine knocked on the door of the reporting office and walked into the office. She saw more than a dozen desks in the large room, but there were only seven or eight people at the desks. Some were drinking tea, some chatting, and some simply
Dozing off.
Lorraine walked in, said hello to a guy who was drinking tea, and said, "Hello, I received the call-up order and came to report."
The man raised his head and glanced at Lorraine, curled his lips, reluctantly put down the tea cup in his hand, and said, "Have you brought the documents?"
Lorraine handed the document bag in her hand to the other party.
This guy pulled out the documents inside and flipped through them one by one. Looking at the empty form and the earldom he had never heard of, this guy curled his lips disdainfully and said to himself: Another farmer from the country, dressed beautifully.
What's the use? It's not like choosing a pretty boy.
If this guy knew that Lorraine was the number one pretty boy in the Ruman Empire, I really don’t know what he would think?
The officer stuffed the document back into the document bag, threw it on the table, took out a form from the drawer, slapped it on the table, and said, "Here, go to the back and fill this out."
Lorraine looked at the other party's careless look and couldn't help but feel angry, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't beat this guy up in the Ministry of Military Affairs.
He could only curse in his heart: These pretentious guys are really like this everywhere!
Lorraine could only fill out the form obediently and bring it back.
The guy stuffed the form into the document bag, threw the document bag on the table next to him, picked up the tea cup and said, "Go back and wait for the notice. Someone will come to talk to you."
Lorraine was surprised: "Is it over? How many days do I have to wait?"
The officer held the teacup, waved his hand impatiently, and then said: "What else? We are very busy. When the arrangements are made, we will naturally notify you and wait for you to go home."
Uncle Lorraine is considered a well-known figure in the world. When has he ever been so angry? He cursed in his hometown dialect: "I stabbed your mother~!"
Then he turned around very simply and walked out of the building of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
After returning, Leo looked at Lorraine as if he had eaten a fly. Knowing that he had failed in the Ministry of Military Affairs, he was immediately happy and heartless. He said happily: "My father often said that this place in the capital is not the best place to live."
Helpers are indifferent people. They even dare to challenge my father's orders, now you know it."
Lorraine said angrily: "Smile? These guys will be your subordinates from now on."
Leo waved his hand boldly and said, "Don't worry, I will have plenty of ways to deal with them when the time comes."
Although Lorraine received an undated waiting order, the list of all the noble personnel in the Ministry of Military Affairs who responded to the call and came to report will eventually be sent to the desk of the Under Secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
As a huge bureaucracy, the Director-General of the Ministry of Military Affairs needs to know at the first opportunity whether there is any hot potato or other role under his command.
Nobles are also divided into three, six or nine levels, and their titles are only one aspect. They hold the titles of marquis and earl, and those who are called bumpkins by everyone in the capital are also in groups in the Ruman Empire.
In this real society, when comparing strength, the first thing those small characters sitting in offices look at is official position. Is a marquis great? Is a duke great? It’s not like we don’t have dukes in charge of miscellaneous matters here.
Similarly, even if you are an honorary baron, as long as there is a meeting and the name tag says so-and-so chief or so-and-so deputy chief, he will be the core figure. He is the person who you have to stand and listen to. He is the kind of person who yells at you.
Du, you have to be the kind of person who keeps saying, "The leader's criticism is too right," even if your title is several levels higher than others.
These grassroots bureaucrats are the most annoying and at the same time the most difficult to deal with. As the old saying goes, it is easier for the king of hell than to deal with the devil~!
It's these little devils who are tormenting Lorraine now.
No matter how smart or smart you are, or those middle-level bureaucrats, their eyes will not be fixed only on official positions. These people who have more experience and have a slightly broader vision will know that officials can be promoted.
The key is to see if it can go up.
What these people look at is mostly family background. Is the family big? Do they have any relatives who are high-ranking officials? This is what they need to know first. Then there is the strength of the family. Is the territory large? Is the financial resources rich?
Do they know that those who either have someone to support them or are willing to spend money to smoothen their connections are the fastest to rise in this complex bureaucracy?
If I am still playing the role of a younger brother in your office today, maybe next year I will be on equal footing with you, and in a few years I may be qualified to participate in cabinet meetings. So many of these clever guys or middle-level bureaucrats are amiable and approachable.
But don't get me wrong, they just haven't figured out your details.
Therefore, until there is some gossip and the latest instructions, these people will not come forward. They will just let the subordinates play Tai Chi with each other. Anyway, if something goes wrong, it will be the subordinates who will bear the responsibility. When the time comes, they will appear as good old people.
On the contrary, it will win more favor.
It’s not that these people are ignorant of the incompetence, shamelessness and chaos of their own system. They know very well that this situation was intentionally caused by them.
These big shots, like those who have reached the rank of chief or deputy chief, have different visions.
Anyone who can climb into the cabinet is a capable person with extraordinary strength and profound background. These people have less worries. They are not afraid of offending others. It’s not like I can’t afford to offend you. Whoever gets to this level will treat whom.
Not everyone knows the basics, everyone is just half-assed.
But at the same time, they have much more to consider. Whether they should do this, whether it is worth doing, whether they are being used as a gun, these all need to be thought by themselves.
These big guys look at people not only by their family background, but also by their family network. After all, the people who can be pushed into their sights are already top-notch people selected from the crowd. What these big guys need to see
The question is whether these people have a deeper background and whether the family network is deep and vast.
Just like the list currently held in the hands of the Director-General of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
I saw the names of Reims and Lorraine clearly written on it, followed by the words Provost, Count, etc., but apart from these, there was nothing underneath.
The Director-General of the Military Affairs Department squirted out all the hot tea in a sip, stared blankly at the paper for a long time, and then scratched his sore head vigorously.
What's all this? Why did you throw this troublesome person here?
As a well-informed big shot, His Excellency the Director-General of the Ministry of Military Affairs is very concerned about Lorraine. Let’s not talk about Lorraine’s outstanding performance in Maple Leaf Danlin. But no matter how outstanding his performance is, it is Lorraine who is in Maple Leaf Danlin, not Ru.
The Man Empire, once here in the Empire, Lorraine had no choice but to start all over again.
But this doesn't mean that they can throw Lorraine down to be the captain or something.
Lorraine is already the commander of the legion in Maple Leaf Danlin. According to the common rule of "one can go up but not one down" in the officialdom, the Ruman Empire's Military Affairs Department will at last give Lorraine a position of legion commander level.
If Grand Duke Julius had asked for it, he might have given him a higher amount. If Lorraine was thrown down and became a major, captain or something, the Ruman Empire would become a laughing stock, and everyone would laugh at these idiots in the Ministry of Military Affairs.
But they don't make good use of it. This is still a light thing. If it is serious, it will be said that they are jealous of talents and act like villains, and their reputation will be ruined.
More importantly, everyone has already spread the word that Lorraine is the pretty boy adopted by Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine. At the same time, she is also the tutor of Her Majesty the future Emperor.
Judging from Lorraine's various actions, this gangster is not a magnanimous master. This guy can't afford to offend himself, and he is really a troublesome person.
Especially looking at this empty form, the Director-General of the Military Affairs Department felt dizzy. What kind of nonsense are these people doing? Forget it, let's leave this trouble to others~! Well, Russell is really a
A good comrade used to take the blame, huh huh~!
The Director-General of the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately kicked Lorraine's ball to the Prime Minister and sent the official document.
And Russell couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this report document, which was almost blank. The people below made such a big mistake. It would be troublesome for the powerful eldest princess to pursue it. Forget it, just pretend that he didn't see it.
Well, I have been involved in official circles for decades, and I am still very skilled in Tai Chi.
But Russell still had ideas for Lorraine, who was already considered one of his own by the Grand Duke.
Russell put down the document in his hand, and the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, who was sitting across from him, said: "I have met this young man Lorraine, and I have also dealt with people from the Dark Parliament together with him.
This young man is talented, courageous, and wise. He is the future pillar of our Ruman Empire and can be of great use."
The Undersecretary of Military Affairs was also an old politician and knew Russell very well, so he sat silently, waiting for Russell's 'but'.
Sure enough, I heard Russell continue to say: "But~!"
"But," Russell paused, and then said: "As a young man, it is good to be courageous and aggressive, but being reckless in politics is a taboo. Now he needs to sharpen his edges and exercise well before he can participate in politics in the future.
If you take charge, it will naturally be perfect."
The Under-Secretary of Military Affairs suppressed the smile in his heart, nodded and said: "First of all, your Excellency is absolutely right."
