Chapter 645: Calustre's New Arrangement
The Bucharest railway station in April is also unusually busy, and the scene of travel from north to south is not decreasing.
When a train from Germany came to a standstill, the tired passengers got off the train. And in the first-class box workshop, Caust also took the staff to prepare to get off the bus. After more than a decade in Germany, Kalust has finally returned home today.
As a former chief of guard, Calust has worked hard for his division in Germany for many years. Not only did we purchase a lot of equipment and send a lot of German technicians, but we also purchased a lot of new technologies from Germany. These technical equipment and personnel have greatly enhanced Romania's industrial strength.
"Director, it looks like someone is coming to pick us up."
The entourage next to him looked out the window and reminded Calust.
Calust looked over and saw someone waiting there at the station. And in terms of his dress, words and deeds, he looks like a palace guard.
"We'll know when the time comes. Also, don't call me Director, I've already stepped down. ”
In the face of Calust's words, the entourage did not dare to say any more. The character of his boss has been figured out, and everything he does is straightforward.
When they got off the train, they were greeted by people waiting on the platform.
"Baron Calust, we are here to meet you. Your Majesty knows that you have specially sent us here when you return to China today, and the car is outside. ”
The explanation of the waiting staff on the platform made everyone happy. This means that His Majesty has not forgotten them and recognized their abilities. I believe that those of them who have withdrawn from the country will also have good arrangements.
So, with the help of the reception staff, the group drove to the palace by car.
Calust, who had not returned to China for more than ten years, looked at the scene outside the car window and sighed. "It's a big change in the country."
"These changes are due to His Excellency the Baron."
The receptionist then explained to Calust about the changes in the city. "Look at the 30-story spire building, this is the Morsa Building, which was built only five years ago, and it is currently the tallest building in the capital, with a height of 102 meters, and a signal tower on the roof, which is 151 meters high. The building also has several ......"
Along the way, the entourage kept introducing the new landmark buildings that have appeared in the past ten years. This gave Caust a deep idea of the development of Romania, at least in terms of prosperity, not much worse than the current Berlin.
Of course, the rest of the personnel were sent to rest, and the only one who could meet Eder was Calust.
After arriving at the palace, Caluster looked at the scenery inside the palace as it had been a dozen years ago, and a sense of familiarity came to his heart.
"Your Excellency, please here, Your Majesty is waiting for you."
When Calust came to the familiar room, he saw a familiar figure waiting for him.
"Your Majesty, I'm back."
A thousand words eventually became a sentence.
As for Eder, looking at his former head of guard, he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, and said with the same emotion. "It's good to come back, you've suffered all these years."
Eder's words made Caluster feel that all these years of hard work had not been in vain. "Your Majesty, this is all a domestic credit, and I am just responsible for the implementation."
"Okay, don't shirk it. I have always remembered your credit, and I won't talk about work today, I will pick you up. Let's have dinner together tonight. ”
To be treated as Eder's solo banquet, Calust is also worth it. You must know that there are only a handful of people in Romania who have enjoyed this treatment, and only a few military and political bigwigs have such qualifications. Of course, this does not mean that Caluster has also reached the status of a military and political boss, but it means that Eder still regards him as a confidant and trusts him as much.
In the face of Eder's courtesy, Calust said that it was a lie not to be moved, so he did not postpone it. "Then let's eat with Your Majesty."
"yes, the two of us haven't eaten in a long time."
Lunch is not too rich, just steak, red sausage and mushroom soup. However, everyone knows that a banquet is not about what to eat, but with whom it is important. And Caluster also knew that his majesty had not been particular about food all along, so he focused more on conversation.
"Calustre, I remember the first time we met, you kept a straight face, a serious expression as if you were about to go to war."
Edel casually talks about the first time the two meet.
"Your Majesty, that's because I'm too nervous. At that time, His Majesty was still the crown prince, but he had the reputation of being a young man. I was afraid that my cowardice would affect His Majesty's senses of himself, so I had to do it. ”
"Hahahaha"
Hearing Calustre's words, and relating to the scene, Edel burst out laughing. At the same time, he pointed to Calust and said.
"You, ah, were like a piece of wood. When I think about it now, I don't even know why I chose you to be my chief guard. It was probably the edge of the eye, I thought at first glance that you were a person I could trust. Sure enough, my feelings didn't lie to me. ”
The conversation between the two made time fly by, and it wasn't until after eating that Edel spoke. "What are your plans for coming back this time?"
In the face of Edel's inquiry, Caluster replied with a straight face. "Obey Your Majesty's arrangement."
"I have a few preliminary thoughts at the moment and would like to hear your own choices."
Edel continued. "The first is to use your experience in Germany, where there is a vacancy on the part of the government for the post of Deputy First Minister for Industry, in charge of industry. Then there's the position of director of research on new weapons on the military side, which can also draw on your experience in Germany. Then there is the fact that the head of the palace, Ricker, is old and facing the problem of retirement. ”
Eder's words left Calust with three paths in front of him, the army, the government, and the royal family.
As for the government, I believe that in the future, with his relationship with Eder, as long as he does not make mistakes, it is not impossible to become prime minister in the future.
As for the army, of course, it is somewhat unrealistic to want to be the first person in the military, but it is still no problem to become one of the giants by virtue of his close relationship with the king.
As for becoming the head of the royal family, there are not as many rights as the above two, but the advantage is that it only needs to be approved by Eder, and things are much simpler. And in terms of intimacy, it is also in the first place.
And now Eder is giving the choice to Calust himself.
Faced with three different paths, Caluster said without hesitation. "I also know that Rickel is indeed old, and I am willing to help him in the future."
Edel said with a smile after hearing Calust make his choice. "Well, since you've made your choice, then follow this. But now you need to go home and rest for a while, and your wife and children can be waiting for you at home. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity."
Hearing Edel talk about his wife and children, Calust's longing for home grew stronger.
