Chapter 254: Scope of Authority

Paris, War Department, Leotah's office welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Good day, Your Excellency." The person who came came was pot-bellied, in a suit and leather shoes, a top hat, a bow tie, and a civilized stick, and his relaxed and freehand expression was as comfortable as returning to his own home.

"Good day, Mr. Donashiu." Leotah's expression was playful.

Leotey knew Donatheus, a current member of the National Assembly, now a member of the Parliament's Finance Committee, who was close to Prime Minister Paul Panroe, a republican member of the Socialist Party, and had a bad relationship with the radical wing to which Leotey belonged.

Although Leothai and Donahew belonged to the same Socialist Party before, they had not dealt with each other much before, and although the relationship between the two was not the same, it was only a nodding acquaintance. Because of this, Leotey was the first to be vigilant about Donnasius's visit, and in an oriental proverb, this is called: Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace.

"I beg your pardon, Minister, for bothering you on this sunny day, but I have to make this trip because of your damned soldiers." The Donnacius family had a long history, having been an aristocratic family during the Bourbon dynasty, so it was customary to use a contemptuous tone when referring to commoners.

Donahew is not only frivolous in language, but also in his behavior. Donasius stood in front of Leotah's desk, reached out and tossed the globe on Leotah's desk at will, watching the globe rotate rapidly, Donasius smiled happily, as if he had a feeling of "the world is in hand".

This was Leotah's office, and it was rude for Donnasius to be a guest to fiddle with his master's things, as annoying as being loud in a dining room and unbridled babbling during a meal.

"On that subject, I think you should go to Rui Jie Rui Castle." Leothai was impatient and perfunctory, and it was part of his job.

Castle Rivel is Nivelle's hometown, after Nivelle was dismissed, he returned to Rio Gerei Castle to recuperate, Leotey gave Nivelle a new appointment, ordering Nivelle to go to North Africa, out of sight and out of mind. Nivelle's choice was not unexpected, as he said he was too ill to take office anytime soon. Leothai was not in a hurry, the deadline given to Nivelle was unlimited, when he was cured and when he would go again.

The point is to definitely go.

"Of course I will go, I have one more question to ask him, the French government gave him the right to win for France, not for him to waste the lives of soldiers." Donasius is the standard of the standard.

"Of course, this is a question that all the French people want to ask him." Leotel was noncommittal.

"Now, then, I have another question for you, Your Excellency, please explain your relationship with the 'angel'." Donna Xiutu is poor and dagger, with smugness and arrogance on his face, although he uses honorifics, there is not the slightest respect, the standard aristocratic hypocrisy.

"Any questions?" Leothai asked rhetorically.

"Of course, there is a problem, I was told that you allocated weapons that belonged to General Pershing's troops to the 'Overlord of the Far East', which caused our friend Americans to be very unhappy, why did you do this?" Donasius propped his hands on Leotai's desk, leaning forward, his eyes sharp, and his huge body were full of momentum from the side.

Just looking from the side, Donnahius wanted to make himself look as imposing as possible, but because of his fat body, he didn't look the slightest intimidating.

Even at the beginning of the 20th century, it was still an era of face-seeking, and the life of a fat man was full of tragedy, which was really a tragic story.

"When did the Americans become your friends?" Leotel answered the question.

The relationship between the United States and Europe is wonderful, and when the American continent was first discovered, those who left Europe for the United States were either shabby settlements that could not be mixed up, or outlaws and criminals. So before the First World War, Europeans were all despised, and Europeans looked down on Americans. Even though Europe is now in this unprecedented war, France and Britain have to rely on American blood transfusions to hold on, there are still many conservatives in France who look down on Americans, believing that Americans are nouveau riche and barbarians, which can be regarded as racial discrimination among whites, and Donnahew is the representative of those conservatives.

It is no wonder that Americans advocate equality and freedom, because the United States has been discriminated against and criticized since its birth.

"It's nothing to do with this, now please answer my question." Donaxiu couldn't help but blush.

As an aristocrat, conceit and pride are necessary, as must integrity and firmness, and although Donnahew deviates from the creed of integrity, he is still ashamed when someone points it out to his face.

"May I ask you to ask me this question on behalf of Parliament, or on your own behalf, or on behalf of Mr. Prime Minister." For the sake of Donnasius knowing shame, Leothai decided to save some face for Donasius.

"Does it make a difference?" Donasius wants to fight for rights.

"There's a big difference. If you are a representative of the Parliament, then I will go to the Parliament for questioning; If you are representing Mr. Prime Minister, then I will go and explain to Mr. Prime Minister; If you are representing yourself, then there is no comment. "Since it's shameless to give face, Leothai is not polite.

"What is your attitude? Please, you are now dealing with a councillor, a councillor representing millions of voters in a constituency. So please answer my question head-on, Your Excellency. Donnahew deliberately emphasized the power of the "parliamentarians", which is why they wanted to overthrow the emperor.

The reason why the nobles overthrew the emperor was not because of how much they loved democracy, but because by overthrowing the emperor, they could also live the addiction of the supreme leader.

"You're right, but I also remind you that you don't have the right to question me directly, I am accountable to Mr. Prime Minister, and Mr. Prime Minister is accountable to Mr. President, and Mr. President needs to be accountable to Parliament, understand? Mr. Parliamentarian, who represents millions of voters, please confirm the scope of your powers before you exercise your rights. "Leothai didn't mind teaching the councillor a lesson who didn't even know what the councillor was doing.

Whether it is the democratic government of the French Republic or the **** government of the Bourbon dynasty, the hierarchical relationship is very clear, even if Donasius is one of the members of the highest authority now, Donasius has no right to directly find the stubble of the soldiers, Leothai can let Donnaxiu into his office, which is already very face-saving.

In fact, Leothai had already decided that his secretary would be replaced in a moment.

The secretary could not be the one who decided who Leotey saw or did not see, and that was not within the secretary's prerogative.
