Chapter XXIII

"Ahh Sure enough, a talent. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the break room of the Republic of Calvard, the Support Section had just entered, and was immediately greeted by a middle-aged short and fat man.

This person knows at a glance that he is the kind of person who is pampered all year round, and the kind of high and bulging belly, if it is not a pregnancy peculiar to women, can only be regarded as the fat accumulated when pampered.

He had a kind and warm smile on his face, and at first everyone thought he was a secretary or a clerk or something, until the other party reported his home.

"I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? I am the President of the Republic of Calvard, Locke? Smith. ”

With a commercial smile, he said something amazing.

President?!

This person?!

Everyone couldn't help but look at him more closely.

This sleek and friendly attitude is somewhat excessive, and it looks less like a politician than a businessman.

Unlike Liberal, there were not many soldiers in Calvard's lounge, except for the two soldiers guarding at the door, there was only one soldier in charge of communication, standing quietly in the corner, and in the middle of the room were two sofas opposite, which should have been specially arranged for chatting. Across a table, across from the president sat a woman dressed in white.

The spy agency of the Republic [Locke?] Director of the Smith Agency: Loulan Wuxiang.

Once a martial arts expert of Taidouliu, and once a receptionist of the Guerrilla Association, Wuxiang is first-class in terms of combat effectiveness and adaptability. With such a person here, indeed, there is no need for too many military men.

"I'm not here for anything else."

President Smith said straight to the point.

Unlike politicians who like to say a lot of empty words without saying anything beforehand, President Smith firmly believes that only by saying less 'nonsense' and more 'right' things can he gain the approval of others. After all, as President Smith, who supported the acceptance of immigrants from the East, there were many political opponents.

The Republic of Calvard is vast, and it is true. But this does not mean that they can feed themselves as well as a large number of immigrants from the East. What's more, in the past decade or so, the economy has deteriorated, and there are more and more voices against immigrants from the East in China, so he has to be careful to speak and win over as many allies as he can.

"Before, I heard that Cross Bell was made a mess by the DJ Order, and I was really heartbroken, it was my powerlessness. So, I would like to give a special thank you to all of you who have captured the culprit. ”

This remark was very nice, and it made Lloyd feel a little relieved. However, Yu Tatsumi and Ellie's expressions became more and more serious.

"I hope you will accept this medal. To show my sincerity. ”

President Smith said, handing over a golden badge engraved with the coat of arms of the Republic of Calvard.

"This?"

Lloyd was a little overwhelmed.

"Ahh Don't get me wrong! This is just a personal thank you on my behalf. Your merits, when I return to China, I will definitely give you a grand award meeting! So, don't worry. ”

This time, everyone noticed the anomaly.

"But that's a little weird, isn't it? This is obviously a matter of Crossbell, why did the Republic of Calvard give us the medal? ”

Theo had already guessed his intentions, but he still asked as he meant.

"Huh? That's what was said there! Your Crossbell's problem, of course, is the problem of our Calvard Republic, after all, it's the suzerain! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were chuckled.

That's what he's for.

Through the award, to establish the image of one's own [suzerain].

It doesn't matter how many things are granted, the point is to give [grant] a clear subordinate relationship.

The crowd didn't know how to answer for a while.

Take it, it's basically tantamount to betraying Crossbell. If you don't accept it, it will seem to save the president's face again.

"Oh, this medal, we really can't accept it."

Suddenly, it was Waji.

This young man with green hair who is difficult to distinguish between male and female is always mysterious and unpredictable. And, it felt like he was guiding Lloyd to discover who they really were.

It's like what You Tatsumi did back then, not wanting others to discover his identity, but always deliberately showing his feet for others to notice.

"Oh? Why? ”

"I didn't look closely, but ...... This medal is gold-clad and bronze, right? If we accept it, won't it seem that the president is too stingy? ”

Not!

President Smith chuckled inwardly, but instead of showing any surprise on his face, he withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

"Oops, it's actually seen, oops. When you say that, it's really my negligence. ”

As mentioned earlier, the economy of the Republic of Calvard is deteriorating, and it is not uncommon for Calvard to receive decorations. Medals are a very common type of reward. For front-line officers, it is normal to have a dozen or twenty yuan, and even ordinary soldiers can occasionally get it.

Coupled with the large population of Calvard, if all the medals were made of pure gold, the cost would be too great. So the medals are all gold-clad copper, but I didn't expect it to be used by Wajili in turn.

This young man has extraordinary eyesight.

President Smith sighed in his heart.

On the surface, it seems to be insatiable, but in fact, it is far-sighted and thoughtful.

This boy is very powerful.

The fact that there was no excuse for the award made President Smith a little disappointed, and the main purpose was not achieved, and after a couple of sentences with the support department, they took the initiative to leave.

"Hehe, how, as I said, a very interesting bunch of people, right?"

Waiting until the support section left, Director Kirika, who had been silent, spoke.

"yes. Quite a good bunch of people. They are of different nationalities, different origins, different professions, and even lawbreakers, but they are closely united. ”

President Smith said, reminiscing with some regret about his country.

What about your own country? Calvard natives, as well as immigrants from the East.

However, these two kinds of people can never be said to be "united". Fire and water are not more suitable for them.

I really envy these young people.

"But is it really okay to let them go without awarding them?"

Director Wuxiang smiled lightly, although it seemed to be an inquiry, but she looked confident, which made people suspect that she had already come to a conclusion.

"I can't hide it from you...... To be honest, even with the fact that there is a medal, I am not sure that I will be able to live a few tricks with this little fox. He was a lot more difficult than his father. ”

"Hehe, who's to say it's not. However, His Excellency the President does not need to worry...... On the point that he did not want Crossbell to be independent...... Erebonia is of the same mind as we are. ”

Kirika said, looking at President Smith. The two laughed.

This time, the smile is thorough, the smile of a politician. (To be continued.) )
