readx; With a casual gesture from Charles, Philip, who had been prepared, immediately stepped out from among the entourage, bowed slightly, and saluted the Admiral. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency. ”

The minister was a little stunned when he looked at the young blonde man who walked over and looked like Charles, and then looked at Charles again.

"Charles, this is ......"

"Let me introduce you to Philip, the elder brother of my wife and my cousin, the eldest son of the Duke of Treville." When Philip came to his side, Charles introduced him to the minister.

"Oh, I see!" The Chancellor's eyes widened, and then he nodded at Philip, "Hello, Philip." ”

As soon as he heard that this young man was the heir of the Tréville family, the future duke, of course he no longer held a stand, although the noble family is no longer as prosperous as it was in the dynastic era, but after all, there is still a foundation, so even as a minister, he can't be rude, especially when others are still so respectful.

But he was muttering to himself, speculating about what trouble the Trevills would cause him.

Really, now the Tréville family has stuffed a young son into themselves, and now even the eldest son has to be stuffed over, which is really a headache.

However, considering that Charles had just given him such a big favor, it was naturally normal for him to ask for a little favor.

With this helpless thought, he immediately asked Charles directly, "Charles, what do you want me to do for Philip?" Just say it, I'm not a stupid person, and I like to make friends, and you've helped me so much, I'm not going to do nothing, so you don't have to go around in circles, just say it, as long as I can do it, I'll do it. ”

Then he took a closer look at Philip.

This blonde young man is dressed very fashionably, and he can see that he is the kind of boy who mixes smoothly in Paris, and his demeanor always seems a little frivolous, which should be the type that he is used to.

"Still, I don't think you and your wife want to send Philip to the battleship, do they?"

"Oh, of course not. Philip was the heir to her mother's family, and she couldn't take such a risk. Charles quickly denied the minister's speculation, "I introduced him to you just to let him serve the country in another way." ”

"Another way?" The minister was a little puzzled, "Don't bend around, just say it." ”

"As I told you just now, I intend to stop the construction activities on my side and do my best to support you so that the production and logistics of the Navy do not have problems...... However, human support alone is not enough, I want to ensure that production can be carried out in an intuitive way. Charles calmly explained to the other party, "You know, I am the Minister of Transportation of the Empire, and when the time comes, I will have to make transportation plans and adjust the distribution of all military supplies, and even the raw materials for the production of these military supplies, so it is necessary to grasp the production situation, and I also need a supervisory agency to help me do this." ”

His Excellency the Admiral frowned as Charles listened to Charles's explanation, a little confused at first, but quickly understood.

Charr is also telling the truth, once the war begins, it is indeed necessary to monitor and deploy the movement of materials and personnel, after all, factories everywhere need raw materials and labor to make products, and they also need to be transported to get to those who need them.

"So, you...... Are you going to put Philip in such an institution? ”

"Yes, I intend to set up such an institution, and then ...... You can understand that such an organization has to have people I can trust and compete, and Philip happens to be such a person. Charles nodded, "Besides, I'm ashamed...... Philip has been living a bit ridiculously all these years, so he has wasted a lot of time, and now he has changed his mind, and wants to live seriously and serve the country, since he has changed his mind, then of course I have to find a way to help him, after all, we are close relatives......"

"I can understand the reason, so how do you plan to arrange his work?" The minister asked again.

"His job is to supervise and coordinate the production and transportation of materials, including those of the Navy, in a more orderly manner." Charles lowered his voice and carefully explained to His Excellency the Minister, "In the shipyards of the Navy, the production of warships and transports, as well as the production of related enterprises, need to be supervised and coordinated. In addition, during your time in charge of the Maritime Federation, you and your appointed naval representative can order anyone in the Federation, but Philip will also be present at the meetings of the Federation, but you can rest assured that he will never interfere with any of your decisions, but you will only need Philip to record them after the decision. ”

Sure enough, it was a big one. As soon as he heard Charles's explanation, His Excellency the Admiralty's mood sank.

Previously, the military production of the Navy was an internal affair of the Admiralty, and the plans and budgets were decided by him alone, and no one else could interfere, and there was no doubt that if the conditions of the Charles were agreed, then the young man would be able to get involved in it in the future, at least for monitoring.

No wonder he had to make such big concessions in exchange.

Moreover, for the federation, although he was ready to hand over the management rights, he still sent someone to monitor it as a nail, ostensibly saying that "there will be no interference, only records", but the precautionary heart is still obvious.

Obviously, he sent his wife's uncle to supervise the production and transportation of materials, and at the same time to supervise himself not to dig into the wall.

However, although it sounded a little uncomfortable, he was not angry, after all, the other party was a mortal, and it was impossible to completely put his heart into himself, and the necessary precautions must be done - if it were his own, I am afraid that he would have made some similar precautions.

In the final analysis, it is very rare for the other side to be willing to make such a concession.

His only doubt was that this Monsieur Philippe de Treville was really up to the task Charles had assigned him.

This is not to be overlooked.

"I understand what you said, and I agree with your words, the production of materials and logistics are very important, and need to be supervised and valued, and it is also a very wise move for you to set up such a department in my opinion...... But......" the minister paused, and finally decided to tell the truth, "but, if you think about it, Philip is still very young, and it seems that he does not have enough experience, so it would be better for you to have a more mature candidate, so that your ideas can be better implemented, right?" ”

Philip felt a little annoyed and embarrassed because the Admiralty Lord openly questioned his abilities, and even his face turned slightly red, and he opened his mouth to explain, but Charles gave him a look that immediately silenced him.

"Your doubts are normal, but don't worry, Philip is a smart man, he knows how things should be done, and he won't mess things up." Charles assured the minister that Philip would be, "And, don't worry, I will have enough good people around him, as long as these people are around, Philip can get things done smoothly, and it will definitely not affect your work, nor will it cause any difficulties to the front......"

"Okay, okay, I see." The Admiralty Chancellor was not in the mood to listen to Charles's explanations, and the left and right were just excuses for cronyism, the point was that he had figured out the facts, and Charles was determined to let Philip take the position. "Then do as you say, I think with your ability, things won't be a problem."

Then he can only hope that he can make this Philip do something well.

The minister glanced at Philip coldly, as if to estimate the playboy's abilities, which made Philip feel a little humiliated in his heart.

But after all, the other party was a minister, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to swallow this breath forcibly.

Anyway, as long as the other party agrees to his appointment, there will be no problem, and a little humiliation is nothing.

Under the turmoil between the minister and Philip, the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became a little cold, but Charles was still in high spirits and smiling, after all, his idea had been appreciated and cooperated by the other party, and it could become a reality.

Originally, under such circumstances, the two sides could say goodbye amicably, but the minister did not leave, his expression was a little strange, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't want to say it.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally decided to speak.

"Shire, there is something I think I still have to tell you, not from the position of a minister, but from the position of a friend."

"Please advise, Your Excellency." Charles looked at each other with some confusion.

"You are very talented, you are a rare talent in the Empire, and you have made great contributions to the Empire with your talent and passion, and you will definitely be able to make more and greater contributions to the Empire and the people in the future...... However, because of this, you should always keep a clear head, because in your position, a negligence and a mistake may bring huge losses to the country, and even bring disaster to some people! You have to remember that, and keep it in mind. The minister looked at Charles and said very seriously, "You need a group of people you can trust to help you, it's not unusual, everyone does, but you must grasp a criterion - judge who is worthy of you by ability, not by intimacy, because talented people can really bring you benefits, and cronyism will only cause trouble for yourself!" Be sure to keep it in mind! ”

His words were very sincere, and his concern was palpable.

After a pause, he lowered his voice again, "I can agree to Philip's matter, and don't make trouble for him, but you must not do similar things without any basis in the future, this is very irresponsible to the country, please listen to it!" ”

His tone was very sincere, and given his status, it was almost reassuring to say such a thing - a normal person would never say such a thing to his face in order not to upset Charles.

Charles looked at the other in surprise, and after a few moments, his expression became serious, and he nodded.

"Okay, Your Excellency, thank you for your warning, please rest assured, I will definitely listen, you are really a good person!"

Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, "In the future, please take care of your body, although the navy is important, you are equally important." ”

The minister was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Charles said this, but judging from Charles's attitude, he knew that his admonition was still somewhat useful.

"Okay, thanks, I will." He smiled before offering his farewell.

After he left, Charles kept looking at his back, as if thoughtful.

"This person really doesn't know what to do!" After making sure that the other party couldn't hear it, Philip couldn't help but scold, "It's like this to lose our face!" Shire...... I've got to make him look good! He's really ......."

Because of the minister's humiliation just now, Philip was still angry, however, when he found his cousin glaring at him, feeling the other party's gaze, he not only felt a little chilled, but quickly stopped.

"Philip, people don't look down on you, you should use your performance to prove him wrong, instead of getting angry behind your back, and then thinking about some small actions, which will only make others look down on you even more!" Charles said to Philip in a rare tone of reprimand, "Do you think you have any capital to fight with the Imperial Admiralty?" If he's in a hurry, he can throw you aside! ”

Philip blushed at Charles' reprimand, but finally nodded.

"Well, I see, Charles...... I'll do it seriously. ”

"It's useless for you to be serious alone, the minister is right to question it, you don't have enough experience, I need to match you with helpers." Charles interrupted, "And a very good helper. ”

"Helper? Who? Philip asked quickly.

"His name is Kong Ze, and he is a person in the Maritime Federation." Charles immediately followed the other party to explain, "He has been with me for several years, he is trustworthy and capable, but ...... He's a bit of a man who can't see the light, so I can't just throw him in a prominent position, so he can only cooperate with you secretly, but you can trust him completely, because he has the ability to help you get things done, understand? ”

After Charles's advice, Philip found that the cousin's idea did not seem to be quite the same as he had thought.

"That'...... So who do we listen to? ”

"Listen to you when you agree, and find a way to agree with him when you disagree." Charles made a meaningful order.

"This ......," Philip was shocked.

"And you have another assistant." Charles looked up and looked at the sky, "Your cousin." You're going to have to help her more, understand? ”

"What......?" Philip stared at Charles blankly, almost in disbelief.

"That's it." Charles shrugged. (To be continued.) )
