The air was suddenly quiet, and Charles was the center of attention.

Everyone can think of him as a mascot, but they can't help but give him face.

This mascot is the princess's apprentice, and theorized that the queen and princess are now hiccups and he is the elven king.

Not to mention this incident with a very small probability, let's just say that if he talks a few more words in front of the commander at dinner today, everyone will have small shoes to wear.

After seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Charles said, "Let me confirm one thing first, is it for everyone to sit here to protect our family and country, is it for our relatives to be harmed by the invaders, and is it to complete the task assigned by the commander? If not, please explain the reasons." The answer is yes, please don't talk just yet. ”

Who would dare to say "no" on this question? So no one spoke.

Seeing that there was no squeak, Charles continued, "Let me confirm one more thing, do all of you present want to complete the commander's arrangement perfectly, do you all want to give your fathers and fellow villagers a stable and peaceful home as soon as possible?"

No one answered, and the air continued to be quiet for a while.

"Very good, very good! You are all the glory of the royal court, the elven race. ”

Charles nodded with satisfaction, and he continued, "Then let me confirm the task of our riverside monitoring and defense engineering construction committee, that is, to establish and improve the riverside monitoring and defense system as soon as possible, and build an impregnable steel defense line in front of the masses, am I right?"

There were quite a few elves nodding their heads, but the air was still quiet due to the inertia maintained by Charles's first two questions just now.

After adding a little prestige to himself by relying on the three-plate axe, Charles began to get to the point.

"We are going to build 9,982 strongholds in the shortest possible time along the rivers that flow into the southern seas in the entire south, which is a huge project," he said. Because we are short on time and have a heavy task, we must seek the help of the Forging Temple. The first task of our committee was to organize and draw up the constitution for consultation with the Forge Temple. ”

Charles paused for three seconds, and no elves expressed a different opinion. To have an opinion on this general direction is to have an opinion on the commander, or even on the queen, and no elf will step on this thunder.

So Charles said to his subordinates seriously, "I have listened to your opinions fully just now, and your biggest disagreement lies in the design of the base. ”

A few elves tried to speak, but Charles didn't give them a chance to speak.

"Now, our first task is to count how many types of strongholds we need to build, based on the information given by the General Staff Committee. ”

Someone else is starting to get on a mission, and it's in a formal meeting. It is an unspoken rule that everyone knows that someone is a mascot, but this kind of unspoken rule cannot be made clear in black and white, so theoretically someone is their first leader, and they have to carry out the tasks under someone.

When it came to the specifics of the work, the elves began to sit still.

The first problem was Edward, who sat next to Charles, who said to Charles, "Because of the different terrain, functions, and the number of garrisons, it is difficult for us to design a stronghold that meets the needs at the same time. ”

Charles sighed, that's the problem. It seems that the elves who are engaged in architecture always like to aim for perfection, and plan to design a perfect stronghold. They quarreled for a day over this design.

Charles waved his hand, "We don't need to design, we just need to make our request." ”

"How can you build without a design?" asked an elf.

Charles asked him, "Do you have any experience in building buildings with concrete, do you know how thick concrete you need to meet the requirements of use, and how much steel is in the concrete?"

The elf shook his head, this is the core technology of the dwarves, and the elves don't expect to know.

Charles spread his hands, "So, we don't know anything." ”

"Since we don't know what to do, let's make our request and let the dwarves who know how to do it do what they know. ”

Then he looked around the office, "Time is money, and we can only use money to save time." ”

"We walked up to the dwarves with our needs in one hand and money in the other, and told them that as long as they met our needs, we would give them reasonable money. ”

Edward asked, "What if the dwarves sit on the ground and raise the price? Even if the budget is sufficient, it can't be wasted." ”

Charles waved his hand, "We bid for bids, from design to construction to maintenance, all in the Holy Land of Forging for the world. As long as we can meet our requirements for the use of functions and costs, whether it is dwarves, humans, orcs or dragons, even if it is on the demon side, we will leave the project to them. ”

At this time, an elf asked, "If our money is too low, will the dwarves agree?"

"They'll say yes. Charles said with certainty, "Now the dwarves are doing their best to promote the concrete they produce, and we are a high-quality customer who takes the initiative to come to the door, I think the dwarves must be using this to advertise, since they want to use us to advertise, why can't they give us some benefits?"

He continued, "Besides, I have something in my hand that makes the dwarves even more excited. ”

Although some things can't be industrially produced, it's still possible to use the national power of the elves to get a dozen catties of finished products in the laboratory.

There were no elves in the scene who objected loudly, they just whispered to each other there. They weren't sure if that was what Elizabeth meant, and Charles was just a mouthpiece.

Seeing that there was no public opposition, Charles was satisfied.

Only when interests are infringed will they object, and no elf here has lost enough interests to challenge Elizabeth behind Charles.

They can argue with their colleagues about the same problem, because they may win. But if they want to argue with Elizabeth because of this, they will have to weigh it carefully.

In the end, Charles reassured everyone, "I reported the bidding matter to the leader myself, and the leader has agreed to this approach, so everyone can rest assured." ”

As soon as Charles said this, the other elves confirmed their speculation that he was Elizabeth's mouthpiece.

Before the meeting ended, he said to Edward, "Your Excellency, you are in charge of the specific statistical work. ”

"No problem. Edward nodded, he also knew that Charles would not care about such a thing, and he didn't care about it. He thought that the work arrangement made by Charles today was arranged by Elizabeth, so he would not care.
