After stabilizing Iron Ji's mood, Lin Youde said to the grumpy Russian goddess in a relatively normal tone: "Although my servant offended you first, your actions just now were not calm. ”

"Not cool?" Iron Ji looked at Lin Youde with a contemptuous smile on her face, "Do you think I'm gambling on luck?" Your Excellency, if we are to confront each other in the future, you would better not make such assumptions again. ”

Lin Youde was slightly surprised.

Could it be that she had a way to ensure the direction of the magic cannon in that situation? Or is it just a bluff?

Lin Youde stared at Iron Ji's expression for a few seconds, but didn't see the slightest clue. So he happily gave up speculating about the reality of Iron Ji.

He made a gesture of invitation to Iron and Steel Hime: "Then, let's watch the drill peacefully and amicably." ”

**

One hour, halfway through the drill, Iron Ji stood up from her seat on the viewing platform.

She looked at Lin Youde condescendingly, and pursed her lips contemptuously: "Your Excellency, I want to ask, is the next exercise still something of this level?" ”

"Yes," Lin Youde looked calm, perfectly ignoring the other party's slightly provocative tone, "The next exercises are basically these infantry attack tactics. ”

"I admit that your widespread use of bazookas and grenadiers as a supplement to infantry fire looks quite innovative, and maneuvering with a car seems pretty good. But these improvements are still far from the revolutionary changes I expected. Iron Ji raised his chin and looked down at Lin Youde, "I'm disappointed, after reading Your Excellency's Declaration of Humanity, I'm very much looking forward to what Your Excellency can come up with. From what you can see, you are just a liar who can only talk big things. ”

As soon as Lin Youde was about to open his mouth to respond, the fox jumped out and shouted: "Hey, dwarf, don't speak ill of my master in front of me!" ”

"Shut up, bitch."

"I'm a she-fox!"

"That's a canine, too!"

"But I'm a cat!"

Iron Ji, who has always been ruthless, actually sneered at each other, and the two began to quarrel with each other in front of everyone.

The cold-faced star is completely ruined, hey!

It seems that this fox has a talent for getting everyone into her rhythm and then defeating her with her vast experience in fooling around.

This talent is a little familiar—Lin Youde thought.

At this time, Viola coughed, interrupting the back and forth between the two.

"Miss Josephine, since you have lost interest in this exercise, could you please leave the stage quietly?"

Theoretically speaking, Viola is the head of state, and Iron Ji is just a prime minister, so Viola's status is higher than that of Iron Ji.

The Russians were not annoyed, but only bowed slightly to Viola and said, "Of course I will leave, but the military attachés in my diplomatic corps will watch the rest of the exercises out of respect for foreign troops, and this should be no problem, Your Excellency, Your Excellency?" ”

"No problem." Viola nodded slightly.

Then Iron Ji bowed again, and then turned away from the viewing platform, and all the undressed members of the envoys she had brought with her followed her, and left in a majestic manner. The Russian officers who were left behind immediately showed expressions of relief.

Among them, the officer who picked up a life from under the muzzle of the steel Ji an hour ago hesitated a little, stood up from his position, and seemed to be planning to go to Lin Youde's side to thank him or something, but at the same moment as he stood up, another officer with a blue stripe on his big cap immediately stood up and looked at the Russian major with cold eyes.

The major had no choice but to sit down obediently.

Before sitting down, he made eye contact with the fox, who immediately squeezed his eyes and conveyed to the major with a playful expression that he would say, "Don't thank me."

While the major was relieved, Viola whispered to Lin Youde: "That blue-edged strip seems to be an officer of the newly established supervisory body. ”

"I know that the Officers' Discipline Inspection Committee, which is dedicated to preventing mutinies in the troops, has far more power than that." Lin Youde whispered in response to Viola. In another time and space, this body was called the NKVD, and it was the right-hand man of Comrade Steel.

Viola looked at the blue-hatted officer unabashedly, and said in a disgusted tone, "It's unpleasant. ”

"You mean this committee?" Lin Youde's expression was a little subtle, because he obviously also had a secret service agency with similar functions, although this agency had a bottom line according to his orders, but after all, it was an organization that did dirty work, and it couldn't go anywhere.

But Viola shook her head, "I mean this Iron Queen, she's the whole thing that makes me happy. Isn't this a tyrant! ”

"But little Viola, many tyrants in history, and at the same time praised as heroes." The fox said and sat back on the chair next to Lin Youde, "Especially in Russia, there are many such tyrants. For example, Catherine the Great, and Peter the Great before her. ”

Viola pursed her lips and didn't answer.

Fox continued: "It is the same in German history, the Hohenzollern dynasty has never been short of blood debts, Frederick the Great used the people's livelihood in exchange for the notoriety of martial arts, in order to build this Sanssouci Palace, I don't know how many poor Germans were squeezed out of flesh and blood. ”

"Alright." Lin Youde softly stopped the fox.

The fox stuck out his tongue and said no more.

**

After today's exercise, Lin Youde arranged a banquet to entertain guests and reporters from various countries who had come to observe the exercise.

Halfway through the feast, Hybert came to Lin Youde's side, leaned over and whispered a few words.

"People who secretly supported the assassination on Chinese New Year's Eve were in the reception room."

Lin Youde glanced at him, then picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and responded: "It's a little faster, what kind of means did you use?" ”

Hybert just smiled and didn't answer.

Lin Youde put down his handkerchief, turned his head to Viola, who was sitting in the master seat of the long table, and said, "I have a little matter to deal with, so leave the table for a while." ”

Saying that, Lin Youde stood up, the fox glanced at Lin Youde, seemed to hesitate, and then she decided to continue to feast.

Compared to the eating of Nasven, who was full of guests, the fox who put a whole steak in his mouth with a fork and tore the steak with sharp teeth instead of a knife looked so unusual.

Not long after leaving the restaurant, Lin Youde entered a small reception room nearby.

Two pot-bellied gentlemen were already waiting on the couch inside. It was the middle of winter, but the two middle-aged men had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

One of the gentlemen, Lin Youde, knew that he was the big boss of the newly formed Ruhr Iron and Steel Union, and he was also the person who had recently shouted the hardest in the tide of public opinion demanding that Lin Youde issue shares in Vale.

He also made a generous speech in parliament, recounting Lin Youde's "mistakes" and asking the parliament to limit the "abuse of power" of the top adviser. That time, the Congress almost passed something similar to the "Antitrust Act" of the United States in the previous time and space, but this bill was pushed back by Viola alone at the very late stage.

In this time and space, the existence of the gods seems to make all kinds of monopoly trusts more comfortable, and the United States here has not passed the "Antitrust Act" until this time, and Rockefeller's standard oil is still the behemoth that rules the American oil market, and has not been split.

The key figure in the latest rejection of the Antitrust Act by the US Congress was none other than Charlotte, who will take over as president of the United States in a little more than a month? Draenau? Roosevelt – The script is very much like Viola's forcible attempt to prevent the German parliament from breaking up Lind's trust.

Now, the guy who has been pushing for various bills against Lin Youde immediately secreted more beads of sweat on his forehead after seeing Lin Youde.

He stood up and said to Lin Youde respectfully: "Your Excellency, when I received your invitation this time, I was far away in Italy, and there was really no way to come to your ...... I apologize for the celebration of the traditional holiday of your country. As an alternative, I brought you a small gift from Italy. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another middle-aged gentleman handed over a beautifully wrapped gift box.

Lin Youde just made a gesture to Hybert and asked Hybert to accept the gift box on his behalf, but he didn't look at the bells and whistles box.

As soon as Hybert took the box, he handed it to the guard, who left the room with the box, as if he was worried about a bomb exploding inside.

Lin Youde raised his chin slightly, and deliberately said to the guest in front of him who was much older than him in an unexpected tone: "It's strange, I obviously remember that you gave me a nice gift on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Well, that's your mistake." The boss of the Iron and Steel Union had too much sweat on his head, so he had to say "sorry" and then took out the handkerchief he had brought with him to wipe it, but as soon as he finished wiping, sweat secreted again.

Lin Youde watched from the side and wanted to laugh.

He really wanted to know what kind of tricks they used to scare this thing like this. But on the surface, he was still silent, and said in a regretful tone: "Yes, that's really a pity." I really liked the gift, it gave me a solid surprise. ”

After speaking, Lin Youde saw a bead of sweat the size of a bean rolling down the temple, rushing all the way down his already loose skin to the tip of his chin.

Lin Youde's heart was playful, and he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

The boss of the Steel Union shuddered violently.

Lin Youde finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and he smiled and said to the poor middle-aged gentleman: "We have an old saying in China, harmony makes money. ”

Of course, the other party could not understand the Chinese spoken by Lin Youde of the four words "harmony and wealth", but no one would care about this at this time.

Lin Youde continued: "So, let's live in peace and make our own money, isn't that good? ”

"Yes, you're right." The other party immediately nodded like pounded garlic.

"You are such an understanding person," Lin Youde exclaimed with a fake admiration, "By the way, you came all the way from afar, and you haven't eaten lunch yet, right?" I'm having a banquet here, would you like to see it? ”

"Ah, willing...... Oh no, I still have something to do, I can't stay for long, and I ask your Excellency Advisor to bear with me. ”

"That's a pity. I won't send it, Hybert, and send these two gentlemen away for me. After speaking, Lin Youde didn't say goodbye, turned around and left, and didn't look back once.

After Lin Youde left the room, Hybert made a cold gesture to the two gentlemen.

Probably for a long time in the future, Lin Youde will not have to worry about the assassination action from this powerful faction.
