]]]"How does it feel to work in the Central Committee for two years? Colonel Estes. ”

The next day, the morning after Estes had just come up with a countermeasure, Estes was called out to the President's Office by the president's father.

"Very good, Your Excellency, very good," "Okay, almost suffocating"

"Really? That's good. You must know that the best soldier must not only know how to fight on the front line, but also learn to fight within his own people, on the 'inside'. ”

When talking about the interior, the president emphasized it

"Most of the time internal battles are more complex and dangerous battlefields than battles on the frontiers of the front."

"Yes."

For this, Estes has really felt it in the past two years, the intrigue between departments, and the intrigue between superiors and subordinates. Fierce competition among promotion candidates. Mutual dismantling and elbow strikes between units and organizations at the same level.

In two years, Estes really got it.

Father was right when he said that here, in the heart of this country, the battle is fiercer on the battlefield without gunpowder than on the front. ’

Here, the enemy did not wear military uniforms, carry bayonets and steel guns, and his own people did not tell you under the banner that he was a comrade-in-arms on the same front as you.

Yesterday's enemy may be today's comrade-in-arms, and today's comrade-in-arms may be tomorrow's enemy. It's hard to guard against.

Here, only by keeping a clear head at all times, hiding himself under a glossy appearance, and doing something unexpected to the enemy behind his back, striking at the opponent and the competitor Estes can win.

There are many ways to fight the enemy, but Estes doesn't like twists and turns, and chooses to physically destroy the insidious waste that is ingrained in the absolute threat of his allies.

He is a general, and he has an absolute advantage in combat effectiveness and force, and if he has an advantage, he must use it, and attacking the opponent's shortcomings with his own strengths is the way to win.

That's why Estes uses this most direct and powerful method to deal with those enemies who want to attack him.

Rather than writing reports and calculating all day and fighting in meetings, Estes still prefers this kind of direct elimination.

There was a sense of accomplishment in such an annihilation, and it made Estes feel like he was back on the battlefield.

"Recently, some officers in the central region have died mysteriously, I don't know if you know?"

If you are afraid of something, my father began to ask

"I know that some middle- and lower-level officers serving in the Central Committee have died mysteriously."

"The political struggle is like this, either you die or I live."

Said something that at first glance seemed unrelated to the topic just now, but Estes had already got what he needed

'Daddy doesn't have any opinions. ’

That's it,

"You've learned something that's important to you, and now you can go back where you want to go."

Instead of continuing the conversation with him, the President placed a decree on his desk.

"The civil strife in the eastern region is still escalating, and there is a need for brave troops and commanders with experience in urban warfare, how is your chasseur training doing?"

"Ready to be put to the test of battle!"

Estes has been waiting for this opportunity for two years, if it weren't for the satisfaction of his father earlier and let Estes go to the front line earlier, where would Estes spend so much effort to manage his connections and relationships in the center? He does not hesitate to kill so many opponents to maintain his own image.

Aren't you waiting for Daddy to be satisfied?

Otherwise, where would Estes, who never cared about the opinions of the weak and idiots, do the things that annoy her to death?

Wouldn't it be nice to do what you have to do?

"Remember what you have learned in the two years at the center, which will be an asset to you."

"Yes! Your Excellency, President! ”

On this point, Estes agreed with his father, although Estes did not like these two years of life very much, but he did not hate it, and every day was spent very fullly, studying books and communicating.

Not to mention anything else, at least Cheng DΓΉ, who has a black belly, and his acting level have improved significantly, and it is no longer a problem to fool his mother at home and fool his colleagues in the unit.

Although it is far from trying to fool Daddy.

"Also, Your Excellency! I want to take the National Alchemist exam. Hope you approve it"

β€œοΌŸοΌβ€

As if it was a delusion, the president's hand trembled when he heard Estes say that he wanted to take the national alchemist qualification.

"Why? Haven't you already learned everything you need to learn? Whether it's alchemy or something else? ”

"I don't think so, Father."

From his father's words, Estes felt his father's dissatisfaction and even faint anger.

"Yes, recently I have researched a new technique based on the alchemy taught to me by my master and my own ice technique, I hope you can ...... it during the assessment."

"The National Alchemist Exam is just a thing that means nothing to you!"

Looking back, my father's face was full of anger.

"You're my daughter, I can't use you! So that pocket watch doesn't mean anything to you. ”

I don't understand, I don't understand what my father is saying, but it seems that I don't agree with the test. ’

"But ......"

As if thinking of something, my father hesitated for a moment and changed his words

"If you want to, it's okay to take the test, but ......"

Suddenly, my father's expression became very stern

"Your examination room is not in the National Alchemy Council, but in the East, in the Frontier Lands, here!"

Turning around, he stabbed the sword he wore at all times into the place on the southeastern border of the eastern region on the wall.

"In Ishbal! On the battlefield! ”

Draw back your saber and bring down some lime and broken maps from the walls.

sheathed, then looked sternly at Estes.

"Since you want to be affirmed, go for it! Go fight for us! Liberate the blood from the veins and the soul from the flesh! Sprinkle the blood of the Ishbals throughout the city! Let the scarlet sigil be engraved where she ought to be! I will be there to watch your results and efforts, your qualifications and strength, I want you to gain and achieve on the battlefield! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be! ”

It was a rare time to see my father's eyes of trust and trust, although I didn't understand some of what my father said, but I understood a little bit of Estes.

The army will soon be ready to use force against the Ishubars.

It's no longer the kind of thing that keeps the law and order, but it's completely suppressed and suppressed.

Its bloody Cheng dΓΉ will be the Cheng dΓΉ that will make the whole city bloody, the research results of Estes, and his father will be there to watch.

Then that's enough.

"Estes understands!"

With a standard military salute, Estes was determined to do his best to report his father's expectations

"Excellent! Then tomorrow you will do a handover with the unit, and elect a person you think is suitable to take your place, no matter who you elect, I will agree. ”

Does that mean, let Estes install his own people? Estes naturally understood.

"I recommend the First Central Library Director, Lieutenant Colonel Balk, to take over my position in the Central Committee."

"Yes, from tomorrow he will be the head of the Central Archives."

Although he was a little reluctant, Estes still accepted his father's help, and compared with Estes, who had been in the center for two years, Estes understood the importance of using relationships and strength.

In a struggle, any power that can be used must be used, because if you don't use it, your opponent will use it.

Rather than cheap opponents, it is better to use them yourself.

"Also...... Father, there is something to ...... I would like to ask for help. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Estes decided to let his father deal with this matter. So even the tone and title have changed.

"It's about two alchemists that happened the day before yesterday......"

"Is it the Marco and Hawk Ai thing? That's an unfortunate thing, both of them are important people who should protect themselves. Do you have anything to do with them? ”

"I have a subordinate who is being treated by Marco, and now the information has reached the most critical period, but now the doctor is ......"

"As I said, Marco is an important talent, there will be no problem, even if you don't say that you don't intercede for him, I won't be embarrassed for him. The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, he will return to his clinic. You can rest assured. ”

"Thank you, Father."

"The things you need to be thankful for, not this one...... Tomorrow I will report to the Eastern Command with the troops. There is still more than half a year before you need to play, take advantage of this time to train the troops well, the eastern region is different from the central north after all. ”

"Yes! …… Yes? Tomorrow? But...... What about my subordinates' treatment......"

"Wouldn't it be enough to let the people who need treatment stay first? The wither has been issued and cannot be changed, and there is no room for negotiation. ”

"Understood, then I will take the troops to the East tomorrow and see you in half a year!"

"Hmm. Go ahead and don't let me down. ”
