With a hint of trepidation, Charles left the club, then found a rental carriage and drove back to the 6th Army headquarters. Although ≤ Charles's expression was very calm on the way back to his office, and he kept greeting the officials and employees he met on the road, his mood at the moment was a little mixed.

Mary's sudden confession and subsequent voluntary dedication were completely unexpected by him, and he did not make any preparations beforehand.

Therefore, he really has a lot of thoughts about how to deal with this matter after that.

Keeping her by her side may cause trouble.

But it would be too much to throw Mary aside like this, because people have confessed their love so much, and they have no regrets and no demands in return, and they should not be treated like this.

Besides, Mary has always been his right-hand man, and has helped him a lot in many things, because it would obviously be a little uneconomical to throw aside a right-hand man in such a matter......

Perhaps subconsciously not wanting to leave Mary alone, Charles quickly found reasons for himself to keep Mary by his side. Men are always able to find enough reasons for themselves in such situations.

By the time he reached the office, Charles had already made up his mind that despite such an unexpected situation, he should continue to let his close assistant serve him, and as for the rest of the questions, he had no choice but to throw them aside.

………………

As soon as he sat down in the office, the secretary came directly to tell him that the minister was going to summon him. So Charles had no choice but to leave his office again and go directly to His Excellency the Minister.

1. Open the office door. Seeing the minister's happy face, Charles knew that there must be good news waiting for him.

"You look like you've won a battle." Charles walked over to the minister's desk. Then he looked at General San Arnault with a smile.

Because they were important colleague members, and General Saint-Arnault had deliberately wooed Charles, a personal relationship had been established, so the conversation between them had become much more casual.

"That's right, a big victory, Charles!" The general laughed, and then punched hard, "I subdued that old fellow, he has promised me that he will resign honestly in the next two days!" ”

Then. Before Charles could speak, he continued to say, "You don't know, this old guy was really hard at first, hey, as soon as I told him to resign quickly, he yelled at me, saying that I had no right to do this!" I calmly continued to persuade him, but he did not give up. Clamor for me to look good! In the end, I got annoyed, and I slapped the table and told him that he must get out, and I just gave him a decent way to leave. If you want to play tricks, we'll see! We don't eat sand for nothing in Africa, and this old guy wants to scare me? Ha. It took me more than ten minutes to scold him for a bloody, and finally he finally recognized the shape. No longer resisting, promised to honestly wait for the retirement with double pensions and medals......"

This old guy is General Willow, who is the director of the personnel department in the ministry. The old official, who held a lot of power but refused to go along with Charles and others, finally could not withstand the pressure from the president and ministers and decided to retire early. And his position is destined to be transferred to the newly found collaborators of Charles and others.

"Are you sure you want that Louis Castlerael to take over?" Charles looked at the general and cautiously asked, "Is this person sure he can master it?" ”

"It's okay, I just met this person and got to know him thoroughly, and he didn't dare not listen to us. He knows that there are many people in the ministry who want to be in power and are willing to cooperate with us, but he just took the lead. Since we can lift him up, we can naturally throw him down, he is a man with a bit of a brain, so he will not be unable to understand this. Speaking of this, the corners of General San Arnault's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, "Besides, the people here have been submissive and meet their bosses for decades, and they only think about shrinking their heads and climbing up, where will they suddenly become bones?" As long as I force them down, I'm not afraid that they won't give in! Hmph, changing the director is just the beginning, I plan to spend two weeks to see if there are any disobedient thorns in the personnel department, and I will match it when the time comes! I'd like to see how many of them can stand up and continue to fight against me! ”

In the general's mocking smile, the kind of front-line officer's disdain for the civilian personnel in the rear was overflowing, but of course Charles didn't care, as long as he could achieve his goal, the minister didn't care even if he scolded the officials in the ministry every day.

What's more, the minister's stalemate with the officials is even more beneficial to him.

"Okay, great!" Because of the excitement of this news, Charles couldn't help but laugh too, "Now we are finally going to take the power into our hands!" ”

That's right, only by getting the personnel power in their hands can they promote their own people and exclude dissidents in the 6th Army, and complete this most crucial step, how can they not make people smile?

"There's more to come, sir." General San Arnault said unhurriedly, "We should now think about what to do with those who do not obey." ”

"Well, I've been keeping an eye on the parade all this time to see who is positive and who is against us. I'll draw up a list of those who listen to us, and those who obey us must find a way to get to Paris, and as for those who oppose it......" Charles nodded, then grinned, "I'll leave it to you, Your Excellency." ”

This plan, initiated by Charles and developed with the personal participation of Louis Bonaparte, was very gradual.

Now that they have taken over the personnel power, they have to find a way to hold the leadership of the army in their own land, at least in Paris.

"Well, no problem, there are ways to deal with them." The minister also sneered, "However, the president should also go and talk about it, let him let the news go first, so that we can also do things." As long as there is a rumor, we can do a big job as soon as we change people! ”

"Rest assured, if nothing else, in a few days' time, the President will issue a proclamation informing the people that he will continue to pursue the interests of Lancy in Africa, and that he will pay a price for this." Charles immediately agreed, "The people will be satisfied with the president's assertive attitude for the sake of the national interest." ”

Although the expansion of colonies was the goal of Louis Bonaparte's tireless pursuit in the future, and he also rebuilt a colonial empire in the era of the Second Empire, at this moment, the vigorous development of the colonies in North Africa was only a means for him and his comrades to exclude dissidents - they wanted to use this as an excuse to increase their forces in Africa in the short term, and then pack up and throw all the dissidents in the 6th Army to Africa, so that they could no longer stop the conspiracy of the Bonapartist in Paris. Achieve the effect of curve cleaning the 6th Army.

At the same time, the president, who has vowed to expand the interests of the leading countries in Africa, has been able to gain a reputation among the people for being tough and courageous. Louis Bonaparte was of course more than happy to do it.

"With the president's words, this qiē will be easy to do, and no one can disobey the orders of the supreme leader, otherwise they should bear the consequences." Perhaps in order to show loyalty in front of Charles, the minister's expression became impassioned, "As the winner of the national election, the president represents the people, and whoever goes against the president is against France, and we must not spare it!" ”

"However, if it's just the president's words, I'm afraid it's not enough......" Charles frowned, his eyes flickering a little, "We still have to find a way to add to the fire......"

The minister looked at Charles with some confusion.

"I thought about it, didn't you serve in North Africa before? There must be a lot of people in the subordinates who can be trusted, right......? Charles's voice lowered even lower, "Can you think of a way to get them, huh...... Something to do there? This gives us even more excuse to increase our troops......"

Privately let people provoke and create crises in the local area?

After listening to Charles's words, the minister was startled at first, and then he quickly understood.

This is not what the Shire meant, but the president's instructions.

It is precisely because this kind of thing cannot be seen that it can only be passed on orally.

With this in mind, the minister quickly made a decision.

No, it should be said that since he sat in this position, he has no other way to go.

"The president is a great representative of the country, and he is very concerned about the future of the country, and we should do our best to accomplish the tasks assigned to us, right?" General San Arnault looked at Charles playfully, "If you are not happy to obey orders, it is against the interests of the country......"

Well, that's the answer. Charles nodded secretly, it seemed that the other party had understood what he meant, and had agreed tactfully.

"Well, you understand. Remember to find someone you can trust, this kind of thing can't be spread. As soon as they complete their mission, we will transfer them to Paris...... Just to replace those who have been dismissed by us. ”

"What if someone disobeys under various pretexts?" The minister looked tentatively at Charles.

"This lawlessness and disobedience to orders deserves to be eliminated from the army." Charles shrugged. "We don't need a thinking sword, that would dull it."

"I see, sir." The minister nodded, "I'll do it right away, of course, I won't write to Guò." ”

"If only you could understand." Charles smiled, then stood up to say goodbye.

When Charles left the minister's office in a good mood, he suddenly felt a little worried about Mary, who was still resting, and now he didn't know how he was resting.

Let's wait and see her, and go home together, he thought to himself. (To be continued!)
