Chapter IV Tasks
"What do you think of what's next, teacher?"
There was still a short way to go from the place of Brigadier Grande such as Estes to the central conference room.
During this period, Estes also planned to discuss the next work plan with Old Man Gran, hoping to hear Mr. Gran's opinion, after all, people's experience and experience are there.
They had been officers longer than Estes had lived.
"There's nothing wrong with the work plan itself, but what's the purpose of your mix?"
After listening to Estes's work plan and the grouping of supervisors, Old Man Gran asked
"Major Armstrong and Lieutenant Colonel Hughes are a group I understand, they are originally superiors and subordinates, and they are familiar with their work and have a tacit understanding, but why add that little girl?"
Glenn was referring to the young star of the parliamentary faction, Miss Ellie McDowell.
"This eldest lady still has too little experience and work experience, how can she take on the heavy responsibility of the investigation and investigation team?"
Although in the center, Elle McDowell now has a reputation as the youngest police superintendent in history, but more people think that she became a police superintendent because of her relationship with Estes.
Few people know what she is really capable of.
"You can rest assured about this, teacher."
And Estes knows her abilities and strengths.
"Her abilities and mind are strong enough to be up to the task."
If there is an opportunity, it is possible to be qualified for more important positions in the future. β
"She is a veteran I took in before the Annihilation of Ishbar, and she has followed me through the last and bloodiest stage of the Battle of Ishbar, and she can be regarded as our comrade-in-arms and comrade."
For someone like Gran, the affection of his comrade-in-arms is very important, and Estes understands what to say will help Gran eliminate misunderstandings and prejudices about Ellie.
"Oh...... That's right. β
Although he didn't say anything, sure enough, Old Man Gran's expression softened a lot.
"Yes, she's seen hell and gone through those ordeals with us"
'Although they hugged me and cried for a whole week afterwards......
"And she has been an excellent police detective since she was a child, and she has been smart since she was a child, and her college studies have ended before joining the army."
'Even though I studied at a university in a foreign federal parliamentary country......
"I've had an in-depth understanding of her work skills for several years, and you don't have to worry too much about that, teacher."
"So why did the search team want me to form a group with Mastan? That guy is a very loose and lazy guy. β
A search mission requires not only wisdom, but also, more importantly, rigor and meticulousness.
It was fitting that this task should be given to Old Man Gran, but it was a little strange to be entrusted to Mastan to take charge of it alongside.
"Searches also require a flexible mindset, and that's good for Mastan. As for his laziness, there is his adjutant staring at the brigadier general, you can rest assured. β
Is Lisa Hawk Ai's gun played with?
It's not so much to prepare to protect Mastan, but in Estes's opinion, it's more correct to use it to scare Mastan, right?
With her staring at Mastam, she doesn't care if she has the courage to relax~
"And the search team may clash with the murderers head-on, and strong fighters will need to be in formation. Having two of you national alchemists in command is also taking into account this ............"
Suddenly, halfway through speaking, Estes suddenly stopped.
She felt that something was wrong, as to what was wrong......
"Teacher, are you talking a little too much today?"
This is what Estes finds most bizarre today.
Under normal circumstances, after Estes finished his opinion, Old Man Gran would simply express his opinion and then be silent, as is the case where Estes said as he is now.
"Really? β¦β¦ Even if it is. β
βοΌοΌβ
Is it a delusion? On Iron-Faced Buster Gran's face, Estes found a hint of embarrassment and embarrassment.
Although it was just Cheng DΓΉ who made the iron sheet twist slightly, it was already a once-in-a-century time.
"Aisha."
Sure enough, something happened, and even the title was unconsciously changed to a close one.
"Is there any other position in your Southern Command that you need people lately?"
As soon as the words came out, Estes already understood.
"Yes, there is a great need for people."
Recently, the secret formation of armored mechanized troops in the southern region is in full swing, with the strong financial support of the central government, the great help of the president and Elle McDowell, the prestige accumulated from ten years of military achievements, and the rookies who have just been trained by a group of people under his command to stabilize the troops. The planned orderly force is finally about to be formed.
Now the only question is the actual combat experience as well as ......
"I need a lot of good officers."
In fact, it goes without saying that Estes originally asked Old Man Gran to join the search force this time in order to attract the teacher into the gang.
He always commanded the Battle of Ishbal and held the position of commander.
Judging from the actual situation, it does have the strength and ability to do so.
Coupled with a tough style and iron-blooded wrists, he is fully capable of holding a pivotal position in the newly formed legion.
"Especially an excellent general like the teacher who has a lot of practical experience."
It would be better for Teacher Gran to propose it himself, so that the teacher owes Estes a favor somewhat.
This is a very effective means of entrapment for Gran, who attaches great importance to dignity and honor.
For him, a suitable position that does not dishonor his honor and self-esteem is more important than any gift and glory.
"I now hold a nominal managerial position at the Fifth Research Institute."
Seeing that Estes was so happy, Old Man Gran also breathed a sigh of relief and continued
"There I could only look at the exterior walls and corridors of the institute every day, and the dilapidated walls waiting for my bones to rust."
It means that he doesn't like and adapts to the job.
"Why can you only look at the walls and corridors? Aren't you the one in charge of managing the institute? β
"It's the same as you are in the Central Archives, just a person in charge in name only."
"Yes~ Actually, the president is in charge of it alone."
For this, Estes is also clear.
Although he used to be the head of the Central Archives, he was actually just in charge of cleaning and preventing the aging of the building and the library.
The really important archives are managed by the secretariat directly under the president, and they have nothing to do with Estes at all.
This unspoken rule can only be understood by those who have worked in the core of the Central Committee of the Military Department. Outsiders don't understand.
"But...... Teacher, I have a question for you as well. β
"Say it."
"You've been watching the Fifth Research Institute for so long, haven't you ever wondered what you're doing inside?"
"Can you peek at state secret material while managing the Central Archives?"
"Haha~ Of course not~"
Everyone has curiosity, but if you violate military law and look at something you shouldn't see, you are guilty of stealing state secrets.
Taking this risk for a little curiosity, no one in their normal world would do it, let alone an old-fashioned and arrogant soldier like Brigadier General Bustergran.
"When this mission is over, I will apply to the president to transfer the teacher to the south. Elite troops, brand new equipment, and the most sacred missions await you. Except, of course......"
Looking back at the teacher's eyes, which were already starting to glow.
Just from that burning gaze, you can imagine that His Excellency the Brigadier General had already seen it at the gate of the research institute.
"There's still a lot of work to do~"
"All I want is work."
The two of them talked and walked to the central conference room.
The specific work has already been arranged early on, and in order to protect the country's talents, the task of arresting them cannot be delayed.
From tomorrow...... Wrong.
It should be from daytime today.
The investigation will be officially launched.
A new chapter will begin.
