Chapter Ninety-One: A God-Given Opportunity

"Charles, I told you a long time ago, these people are all strong outsiders!"

In Charles' office in the 6th Army Department, the new minister, General Saint-Arnaud, said to Charles with a smile. ∝ "I've scared them out these days, look at how silent they were before!" Hahahaha, I have to say, as long as we work harder, no one here will dare to oppose us again. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand heroically, like a general commanding his troops to charge forward at the front.

"You're right, now you've scared them, and we've got the advantage we deserve." Charles's reaction was much calmer, and he just smiled and nodded, "However, we still need to see that nothing will be as smooth as imagined." Although they may not dare to openly resist us, the officials have a lot of secret methods, and we must keep our eyes open, otherwise we don't know when they will secretly stumble and we will not be able to do anything. ”

"That's true......" The general frowned, "I knew it when I was on the front line, and all these officials in the capital are very cunning!" No matter how many rules there are, they have a way to make them bad, and our side is also a miasma......"

Next, he looked at Charles rather worriedly, "Charles, it's up to you to come, this group of people has too many tricks, and I may not be able to cope with it as a soldier." I heard that when you used to serve in the Ministry of Railways, you used to rectify a group of officials, and you should be able to do this kind of thing. As long as you come and watch it for me, I can guarantee that none of those people will be able to turn the sky upside down! ”

"You're too embarrassed to say this, I just took advantage of the fact that the Ministry of Railways was a new department. barely subdued his subordinates. Charles smiled and replied, "That won't work here." I still have to rely on someone with an iron fist like you to be able to forcibly knock this group down. ”

Although I knew in my heart that the general was not unexpected. It's just because he wants to be a little happier, but Charles still feels very happy in his heart.

This is a future marshal, a great man, and he is trying to please me...... As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

However, this alone did not satisfy him, and he knew that he had a long way to go.

"As long as we cooperate, hmph, I don't believe anyone else dares to go against us without opening their eyes!" The general clapped his hands.

"Of course. It's not enough for just the two of us to want to support a large group of people at will. Charles reinstated, "We still need some help." ”

"Help? Who are you referring to? Although it was a question on the surface, the general did not seem surprised.

It would be strange to say that Charles didn't have some other helpers in the ministry.

"I was going to introduce him to you today......" Charles smiled and nodded, then rattled his bell to call his secretary in, and whispered a command to him.

The secretary quickly took the lead and left, while General San Arnault waited quietly for the next surprise.

Soon, the door was reopened. And Viscount Alex de Lautrek, who had been waiting outside, slowly walked in.

Although he had the privilege of meeting two high-ranking officials at the same time, his expression did not seem to be very happy or honored, but always looked a little panicked in anticipation, as if he was not happy to be received in this way.

His mood is easy to understand. After all, at such a point in time, swaggering to Charles's office will either be envied by his colleagues. Either he will be suspected of being a traitor by his colleagues, and in either case, his relationship with his colleagues will deteriorate. Let his reputation and popularity that he have long deliberately cultivated among his colleagues deteriorate.

"Don't worry about what other people think, you're you. Alex. As if to see what Alex was thinking, Charles smiled and waved his hand, "Besides, even if they hate you, what can they do?" You are destined to climb on their heads. ”

Then he turned his gaze to General San Arnault. "Your Excellency, this is the man I would like to introduce to you - Viscount Alex Constantine de Roetrec, who is now the head of the Personnel Department, and is recognized as a promising young man, very intelligent and capable. He was an active member of the Bonaparte family's business, and he is currently a good friend of mine in the 6th Army. ”

"Oh! That's right! The general immediately understood, and then smiled and extended his hand to Viscount Lautrec. Mr. de Lautrec, I have heard of your surname. ”

"It is my pleasure, Mr. de Saint-Arnault." In the face of the minister's kindness, Viscount Lautrec naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly restrained his feelings, and also stretched out his hand to shake the minister's hand.

As soon as he shook his hand, the unsuspecting Viscount Lautrec suddenly frowned. Because the current minister held his hand so hard, it was as if he was deliberately trying to see him as a joke.

The young man with a slightly flushed face didn't dare to say anything, but cheered up and put all his energy into his hands, so as not to make any more ugliness.

After shaking it for a while, the pressure slowly subsided, and His Excellency the Minister slowly let go of his hand.

"This young man is really famous." The minister said thoughtlessly.

"Well done, Alex." Charles also smiled and chimed in.

As a general of the 6th Army, who had led troops on the front lines for many years and had even recently gnawed sand in North Africa, he instinctively did not like the pedantic bureaucrats of the 6th Army in the capital, and naturally he did not like Viscount Lautrec, who seemed too gentle, had a modest manner, and had all kinds of "elegant habits". In addition, this person was already in an important position at a young age, which made the general who had been stumbling for many years feel a little unhappy, so he wanted to give this young man a little bit of disadvantage at the beginning of the meeting.

It is true that front-line officers hate the bureaucracy of the organs in the rear, which is indeed a common phenomenon within the 6 armies of various countries.

However, now that Charles had clearly introduced him to the general as a fellow party member, the new head of the 6th Army, who was quite intelligent, was of course able to suppress his unhappiness and talk and laugh with him with a smile on his face.

The little lesson when shaking hands can be regarded as the last bit of resentment in his heart.

It's just that he didn't expect that this guy, who looked a little sissy, was still so hard-hearted, and forcibly resisted his strong clamps, and he just held back and didn't make a sound, which made him a little impressed by this young man.

Viscount Lautrec didn't speak, but smiled a little reluctantly, and didn't seem to like being treated like this by the minister as soon as they met.

"Alex, I think I've told you about this before, so I'm not going to say anything more now, but you've already seen it - the president has appointed a new head of the 6th Army, and it's our man." After this pleasant episode had passed, Charles said directly and simply to Alex, "Then, then, according to our agreement, it is up to you to contribute next." I guess you've been unprepared for this lately, right? ”

"Of course, I'm not unprepared."

Viscount Lautrec gave him a slightly displeased look back, "I've been preparing since I finished talking to you. ”

"What are you going to do?" Charles asked, expectantly.

"I talked to my bosses and colleagues, listened to their intentions, and tried to lobby them as unbiasedly." Viscount Lautrec replied indifferently, "I have been doing this work all this time. ”

Then, he took out a small book from his bosom and put it on the coffee table. "This is a general record of what I have heard from them lately, and I have basically listed the tendencies and intentions of each of them."

"Oh, that's great!" Charles was overjoyed, and quickly picked up the book and looked through it carefully, and then he didn't forget to look at the general next to him, "I didn't recommend it to you, did I?" Alex is amazing, and he gave us such a big surprise without a sound! ”

"That's right, this young man has a great future." The minister nodded approvingly.

However, in spite of the minister's praise, Viscount Lautrec did not appear to be very happy, for his glorious future would soon be unfortunate on behalf of a large number of his friends.

In a certain way, he is selling his colleagues in exchange for promotion.

But what other way is there now?

He glanced at Charles with a hint of resentment.

"There's something else that I think you'll be interested in."

"Oh? What the? Please? ”

In the expectant eyes of the Minister and Charles, Viscount Lautrec finally regained his slightly reserved mildness.

"My immediate boss, after I lobbied, told me privately that he wanted to see you." Then he lowered his voice, "Secretly." ”

"What does he want to do?" Charles hurriedly asked.

"He wants to squeeze out other potential candidates and take over as director," the young official said without emotion, "squeezing out other potential candidates." ”

Charles and the general glanced at each other, and then the joy in each other's eyes at the same time.

That's great.

France's annual huge military budget is decided by the Department of Military Affairs, which is responsible for all personnel transfers, and these two departments are arguably the most important departments in the ministry - and for people like Charles who are interested in purging dissidents in the army, the personnel department is undoubtedly one of the most important functions.

And at this time, someone inside stood up and said that he was willing to fight for the tiger, as long as he could be rewarded......

"Sue him, I want to see him, right away!" After Charles nodded, the general immediately replied. (To be continued!)
