Chapter 8 It's not Douding, it's the junior brother
"Hey, I want to see General Estes."
Habitually coming to the Eastern Command, Edward slapped the reception table at the door and said impolitely
"Line up."
Seeing a bean in front of him, the usher didn't even raise his head and pointed to the flow of people from the inner room directly outside the headquarters, and said angrily
"You can take a look at this thing before you say that."
Seeing that the receptionist ignored him, Edward also knew that he couldn't make trouble at the headquarters, so he had to resist the urge to get angry and take out his pocket watch from his pocket and show it to the receptionist.
"I'm an Fullmetal Alchemist, and I have something to see General Estes."
"Oh? National Alchemist? ”
This time, the receptionist raised his head and his attitude was a little better, but it was nothing more than that.
"Alright then, I'll give you a numbered plate and come back in six hours."
"What do you say?! What's so good about you stinky receptionist?! ”
In the past, no matter where he went, as long as the silver pocket watch was on, he could clear the customs no matter anything, but this time, he couldn't go to the Eastern Command that he was familiar with, which made Edward very angry, he felt that this usher didn't want to see him, so the fire that came out because of Estes's investigation was even bigger now.
He stomped on the table, revealing his iconic jagged steel teeth
"What?! Stinky boy, do you want to fight?! I'm here to help! ”
Seeing that the little ghost in front of him was so ignorant, the receptionist also stood up angrily and took off his coat, revealing a sturdy body covered with scars inside. Rivalry
"The national alchemist is nothing more than an officer equivalent to the rank of major, and he also needs to obey the orders of his superiors in the army!"
As he spoke, he yelled at the crowd queuing on the side
"Keep your eyes open and see which of the people waiting in line to see the general is under two bars?! Let me be accommodating to you?! How old are you?! ”
At this time, there were many people in the headquarters with long platoons, from majors to lieutenant generals, from battalion commanders to division commanders and army commanders, and representatives of troops at all levels.
These people are here to see the general and cheer him on.
Compared to these people, a mere national alchemist is indeed nothing.
Even the big man, who now works as a receptionist, is a lieutenant colonel.
"Alright, Lieutenant Colonel Barques, don't bother with him."
At this time, it was Colonel Mastan who came to the round.
"This Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Eric is the General's younger brother, and they were taught by the same teacher."
"Huh?"
When the reception, I heard that it was Estes's junior brother, and his attitude instantly became much better. Very much......
"It turned out to be the junior brother of General Estes~Hahahaha~ Why didn't you say it earlier~Hahaha~ It's all a family, why don't you line up or not......"
Although the lieutenant colonel turned his face much faster than he turned the book, he couldn't make Douding's face much better, so he had to laugh awkwardly and hand over the person to Colonel Mastan.
"That...... Ahem, Colonel Mastan, the general's junior brother will be handed over to you, it just so happens that you all have important things to discuss with the general, right? Hurry up and get in. ”
After speaking, regardless of the old face, he changed back to the iron-faced and selfless face before.
Although now his 'iron-faced selflessness' is worth a lot of discussion.
"What are you seeing?! What's there to see?! If you are also the general's junior brother, I will let you in!" ”
As he spoke, he shouted at the queue staring at him.
But even so, I still can't get rid of those disdainful eyes.
"But...... It's really worthy of being the general's junior brother, and even his temper is very similar, so hot that he can't do it~"
.................. "Why haven't you left the Oriental City yet?" ”
As he walked along the way, Mastan asked Edward, who should have already set out on his journey to the eastern border city of Justville by the time the news spread.
"Originally, the tickets were bought, but before getting on the bus, I read the news in the newspaper and came down, so what happened to my sister? Hasn't the matter of Leol been put to rest? Didn't the sect leader also be arrested? Why is that happening? ”
In Douding's opinion, although Estes is very unreliable and strange in many places, he is still very serious at work, and he should not do that kind of thing.
"Actually, whether it's you, even I don't understand what happened to Leol this time, originally before the riot, Estes had applied to the Eastern Command for three divisions to be transferred to the periphery of Riol in advance, but then somehow it was transferred back by the Central Command, the same thing happened to the Southern Command, the two divisions under Estes were ready to go north, but something went wrong, the transfer order became the transfer of the Central Army to Riool, and the front commander also became Lieutenant General Raven."
If one of them can be called a coincidence, then the truth of this series of coincidences can only be inevitable. A necessity called conspiracy.
"The whole thing is filled with the atmosphere of internal struggle and conspiracy, even if I am far away from the central government, I can feel that this incident is very likely to be a long-planned conspiracy of a certain force in the military to attack the prestige of the central government or to attack General Estes, and the matter is related to some senior officials of the central government, even we cannot make judgments and react immediately, and the media has seized the opportunity."
The media usually doesn't care who is right and who is wrong, although conscientious journalists do exist, but the vast majority of journalists and newspapers still want more readers to pay attention to their publications, as for right and wrong, that is determined by efficiency, in order to survive, most behavioral media knights do not pay much attention to discipline.
This is the conclusion that Mastan has reached after many years of work.
"Then will Senior Sister not be able to come out this time?"
It's too complicated for Dou Ding to understand, no matter how smart he is, he's just a child, and he can't understand all the things in the adult world because he lacks experience and experience.
All he cared about was Estes's safety
"There won't be much of a deal, no matter what, Aisha is the president's daughter, with the president taking care of her, saying something unpleasant, as long as the president doesn't fall, it's impossible to completely bring down Estes."
And this is the reason why even though their personal freedom is restricted, there is still a steady stream of people who come to visit Estes.
Because everyone who understands knows that this incident is big and big for Estes, and it is small and small, and it only depends on the president's final meaning.
And for the attitude of the president, the people in the army know best.
He is definitely not the kind of person who will do iron-faced and selfless things, he will be intimate and different.
And that's why the entire military system is loyal to him, because it's good to be by the president's side. The president treats them as his own.
Will such a person punish his daughter for what public opinion influence? It's simply impossible.
With that, Peewee came to the reception room of the Eastern Command where Estes was.
I saw the two red pupil and black pupil sisters who were often chewing things in their mouths and hummed cutely.
"Is the general free now?"
Mastan stepped forward and asked
"Yes. The president's wife had just left, and now she was free. ”
After speaking, the black pupil looked at Al's height, and the sixth sense of the radio wave system told him that this weak person seemed to be his younger brother
"Brother?"
"Ah...... Kindness. ”
Al hummed awkwardly
"En......"
Then he glanced at his sister, who was about the same size as himself, and said leisurely with a biscuit in his mouth
"It's huge."
"Brother?"
Although I don't know how I saw it, the red pupil with the dried meat in his mouth walked up to Edward, looked at his sister Black Hitomi, who was about the same size as himself, and then turned his head to look at Al and Antenna Edamame, whose bodies were absolutely inversely proportional.
Said leisurely
"What a little ......"
"Who said I was a little bit bigger?!"
Probably being ridiculed by the sisters who really looked like their own sisters made Dou Ding feel like he was being destroyed by Yan Zhan, and he didn't care that it was outside Estes's door at this time, Dou Ding raised his fist, regardless of whether men and women were merciful, and he greeted the cute red pupil's face directly, but was gently dodged by the red pupil.
"My brother is so old,"
This is the black pupil
"My brother is so young,"
This is the red pupil
"It's really not like a brother~" *2
After saying that, he opened the door and let Edward, who jumped up and pounced on them with his fist, fly directly into Estes's reception room......
