Chapter 8: Rien is jealous
Prime Minister Osborne looked at Cassius at the same time that Cassius was looking at him.
"The Hundred Days War" made Cassius famous, but it was also an opportunity for Osborne to stand out.
Eleven years ago, Gillias Osborne was just a mid-level cadre, and not long after the end of the Hundred Days War, he was promoted by the emperor and made a count while becoming prime minister.
After that, Prime Minister Osborne made a great show of his strength, and carried out a series of reforms in the empire from the inside out. Internally, the army was greatly expanded, the construction of the Guiding Railway throughout the Empire, and the establishment of an intelligence bureau to monitor and suppress the rotten aristocratic class; Externally, more than a dozen autonomous prefectures were annexed by non-military means, and the territory of the empire expanded unprecedentedly.
The strategy of using the phenomenon of diversion to stop the force to show the force of the empire was also the work of this man.
If Cassius is a "rare strategist", then Osborne is by no means inferior to him. (The former has been on Wiseman's guard for many years, and the latter has always made Weta suspicious, and as for whether the final provocation of "Society" is relied on or ignorant and fearless, it is up to us to see how the old control fills the hole.) )
"First time we met, I was Brigadier General of the Liber Kingdom Army, Cassius Bright." Cassius's four eyebrows rose in unison, revealing his trademark smile.
"Hehe, your name is also a household name in the Empire, and it is an honor to meet like this." Osborne was also smiling.
"I am, and it is a great honor to meet the famous Lord Osborne. But I really didn't expect Your Excellency to have such a bold action, and it seems that it is necessary to re-evaluate Your Excellency. ”
"It's nothing, I just have to sigh at the proper response of the Kingdom Army facing the mutation. No matter what kind of situation can be dealt with one by one, and the organization and application of softness and rigidity can be said to be an unattainable ideal form for our army that is blindly tough. ”
"Haha, you're too modest." Cassius smiled, a thorn in his smile, "Isn't the famous Imperial Intelligence Agency presided over by Your Excellency himself?" For our army, which regards the reconstruction of the intelligence system as its top priority, it is truly envious. ”
(Look at what these two said, one mouthful of our army, this is the correct position of the country, Ogua, are you ashamed?) You're not going to be Liber's agent for breaking into our army. )
"Are they all fantasizing about what they lack?"
"Oops, oops, it looks like so."
The two exchanged glances, and only the two concerned knew what it meant.
"Then again, Prime Minister, what are your plans after this?" Noticing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Oliebart changed the subject, "Unfortunately, I'm leaving Liber today. ”
"I've heard that you're going to take a ride in the famous "El Saiyou" triumphant imperial capital"
"He is worthy of being the prime minister, and he is really well informed." Olibart glanced meaningfully at Rector beside the Prime Minister.
"I'd love to ask for a ride, but," Osborne said with a hint of regret, "and unfortunately I have had other appointments after that." Unlike Your Highness, I had to leave in the afternoon. ”
"This," Queen Alicia grimaced, "I was going to make sure I entertained you tonight. ”
"Please don't worry, a presumptuous guest like me really doesn't deserve such hospitality." Osborne laughed to himself, "Still, it's a little bit of time before we get off the ship." If so, Your Highness, can I take a moment of your time? I personally have a lot to say to you. ”
Hearing this, the expressions of the people around him were different, Mula's face instantly tensed, Lect's lazy expression fluctuated slightly, and Kolotia looked at Olibat with some concern.
"Well, yes, I have something to say to you." Olibart was very calm.
"If you can, we'll prepare the room." Queen Alicia looked at Lady Shildan and said, "Lady Officer, I'll leave it to you." ”
"Yes." Lady Hildan bowed and stretched out her hand, "Prince Olibat, Prime Minister Osborne, please come with me." ”
Later, Olibat and Osborne, led by Lady Hildan, entered the meeting room next to the main hall. At the door, Mura stood with his hands in his hands, acting as a guard.
Recht, who had nothing to do, did not want to be in a daze in the rest area, wandering around carelessly, and soon disappeared.
After a short time, Kolotia walked out of the main hall and looked around with a complicated expression, but there was no one in sight who she was looking for. After inquiring about the maid on the side, she lifted the hem of her skirt and ran towards the courtyard in the sky regardless of her manners.
"Where is Kloss?" Yaniras poked her head out, "Looks like she's in a hurry." ”
"Looks like you're looking for someone, I'll ask." Lixia got up and walked over to Thea, who was standing by the door.
"I've asked, it seems that I'm looking for the retinue of Prime Minister Osborne, and the name of the clerk should be Rector Arandall."
"It turned out to be him." Ryne's mind quickly recalled the man's information.
Lect Yaradel, a member of Prime Minister Osborne's personally selected and nurtured cronies of the "Iron Blood", codenamed "Scarecrow", served as the captain of the "Intelligence Bureau".
Hidden behind the cynical exterior is a formidable intelligence ability. In his early years, he was ordered by the Prime Minister to study at the Jenny Turtle King Academy, and successfully established the empire's intelligence network in Libel. After that, he returned to the empire and used his status as a second-class clerk as a disguise, handling secretarial affairs tightly and orderly, while showing his skills under the table. So far, none of his informal representations have failed.
It can be said that he is the most capable person in "Iron Blood" on the surface.
Although the outside world has always thought that "Ice Maiden" Claire is the leader of "Iron Blood", it is Claire who is in charge of the railway guerrillas, and the railway gendarmerie is very active in the country and is very famous. In addition, the style is rigorous, and the talent and appearance are both complete, so they are misunderstood. If you really want to talk about ability, you still have to be inferior to Lekert.
In terms of leadership, the railway guerrillas were very optimistic about Kreya, and Recter was not inferior, and when he was the student president of Wang Li College, the entire student council was convinced of him. And after he dropped out of school, he never forgot it.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Claire is at the same level as the executor No.9 Sharon, and Rector is also at the same level as Misty Fragrance (at least Bi Rail's performance is), which is a tie.
In terms of computing power, Cleia's brain is comparable to a guide calculator, but Rector has the ability to make her miscalculate, and when Rector was wandering in Kezhou, he was able to play stud and win the miner who swallowed "True Knowledge", at least on the same level.
Coupled with Rechter's intelligence and negotiation ability, it is reasonable that the evaluation is higher than that of Cleya.
(Speaking of which, the author mentions that there are four known people in "Iron Blood", "Emerald City General", "Ice Maiden", and "Scarecrow" are all cool and crazy.) In comparison, "White Rabbit" is a lot inferior, but considering that Miriam is still young, it is not impossible to expect that it will not be worse than the first three monsters in a few years, but in terms of figure, it is estimated that there is no hope, but Mi Li still hopes to have Emma's figure. )
How strong Rector is, Lane doesn't care, what he cares about is the phrase "never forget". Leaving aside a certain "gentle" woman who has traveled all over the world in search of Rechert, even Kloss has feelings for him above his seniors, which cannot but be of concern - especially the somewhat macho, cautious dark-haired teenager.
Thinking of this stubble, Li En's face instantly became gloomy, and his left hand tightly grasped the armrest of the sofa.
(I'm jealous.) )
(Yes, definitely.) )
Lixia and Yaniras glanced at each other, affirming each other's thoughts, and every girl in love is sensitive to this kind of thing
"I think you should give that kid a little more trust." Selestie's voice was as warm as water, "She's known you for so long, you know best what kind of person she is." ”
"I understand, I understand." Lien's body gradually relaxed, "It's just that I still feel uncomfortable, especially since the person who knows that Kloss is going to meet is better than me." ”
"That's because you like it, that's why you're so worried. The jealousy written in the novel probably refers to this. ”
"Well, listening to you, it seems that you haven't been jealous? Or haven't you ever seen someone jealous of you? ”
"Nope." There's no hesitation in Seresty's answer.
"This is not scientific, you are such an excellent woman, you must be talented, good-looking, and have a good personality, which is the focus of men's pursuit in any era."
"Because, there is no time"
Yes, in order to seal the "Ring", she worked hard and fell in love, she never thought about it.
Now that the mission is over, it's time to fall in love
The lake of Selestie's heart ripples and never ends.
