In Vito's opinion, there are two things that he needs to start managing the accumulated contacts now.

One is naturally on Earl Island, and it is estimated that even Heiko can see that the 78 branches set up by the Navy in Earl City are far less than many people who have borrowed the name of their headquarters in the four seas, and even almost become the peers of the Emperor of the Earth, and their lives can be said to be a little aggrieved.

The two major snake families control the lifeblood of the local economy, and their prestige far exceeds that of the Navy Headquarters, and even when the position of colonel is vacant, Lieutenant Colonel Luff, the top leader of the entire 78th Branch, is still from one of these two families......

The town hall next to it, which is much larger than the base fortress and has a very ornate decoration, is an excellent example.

Absurd magical reality.

When Vito first arrived, he had not yet had any dealings with these two families, and what kind of attitude should he use in the future to broaden this network, who to woo and who to divide...... It is necessary to obtain the qualification to communicate with the other party on an equal footing before they can seek it.

"At the very least, you have to become a school officer, and become a high-level branch base in a serious way, so you can barely have this qualification."

He dusted off his cigarette ashes, and sure enough, this could only be written in the second article, and before he had a high enough prestige, it was completely empty to use his official status to manage his contacts on the island.

As for the other connection......

That is what needs to be established within the navy, which has already involved a fairly long-term plan, and Vito plans to slowly add sand to the naval headquarters little by little, but at the moment, people are soft-spoken, and there is no urgency for the time being.

Speaking of which, the Major General Hina, who is known as the black threshold in the future, seems to be a good seedling, and he accidentally bumped into it yesterday, which can be regarded as a coincidence of fate, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he can make good use of it.

The last point is [Battle Exploits].

In addition to qualifications, this is the most important thing for promotion within the navy, not to mention colonel, Vito wants to go further in the short term and be promoted to major, it is indispensable to have excellent combat achievements.

However, the geographical location of this Earl Island is remote, not on the mainstream route of any great shipping route, and there are very few pirate nuisances on weekdays, which makes this problem, which was originally the simplest and crudest to solve, become a little tricky......

But.

For Vito, there seems to be a solution to this problem.

In the past, after unifying the nearby mountains and forests in the mountains, he had no peers to practice, so he let some of his subordinates disguise themselves as enemies, and the two gangs of bandits fought against each other, fighting wits and courage, and at the same time looking for fun, he could continue to improve the actual combat ability of his subordinates.

Since there are no bandits, he can create them.

So at this moment, it is not difficult for him as a navy to concoct pirates in the same way.

"In short, everything starts with the first one, establishing prestige."

Putting down the pen and paper, Vito took the last puff of his cigarette and looked at the half-moon in the night sky.

Suddenly, for some reason, I remembered the memories when I first crossed over, from a weak little boy, to conquer everywhere, and step by step to become a mountain thief king who was feared by countless subordinates.

Tears and laughter, wanton and madness, the great terror between life and death...... Those memories engraved in the depths of the river, like the river that he almost drowned when he was ten years old, flowed louder and louder in the silent dream.

The night was getting darker, and the clouds obscured the moonlight.

He smiled silently and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.

"It's a misfortune, that's what I'm best at."

…………

The next morning, the heavy snow that had fallen all night finally stopped.

Wrapped in a thick futon, Heiko was woken up by a faint knock on the door, and he sat up weakly, staring blankly at the door for a long time before slowly getting out of bed.

Maybe it was the cold weather on Earl Island that was uncomfortable, or maybe it was Vito's words last night, and the glaring butt mark on the leather chair, which drilled into his heart like maggots on his tarsal bones, causing him to toss and turn......

In short, Mr. Colonel's sleep quality was not high last night.

"Who?"

He opened the door with thick dark circles under his eyes, and his tone was not good, which immediately startled the young captain at the door, and he stammered when he spoke:

"Morning ...... Good morning, Mr. Colonel, I ...... I'm here to ask you if you need to gather all the soldiers at the base today and listen to your ......?"

This young captain is the one who Vito had almost followed a lot of information last night and had a pack of cigarettes by the way, named ibuprofen, which has the same name as a painkiller that had been developed in Mary Joya only a few years ago.

The young man's father, one of the most famous doctors on the Isle of Earle, was so knowledgeable that it was hard to imagine what occasion and what was going on in his mind when he chose such a name for his own son.

"Lecture?"

After listening to the ibuprofen, Heiko, who was a little groggy in his head, didn't react for a while, and after rubbing his eyebrows, he remembered that today was the first day of his new office.

As the supreme commander, when he first arrived at the base, he gathered all the soldiers to give exhortations and reprimands, which can be regarded as a traditional practice within the navy that has evolved over the years.

"Well, yes, just order it in my name."

When Heiko first left Marin Fando, he was actually looking forward to this scene, but after experiencing the twists and turns along the way, he actually didn't have much interest at the moment, it was just a routine.

"What time is it?" He yawned and asked lazily.

"Half past seven, Colonel."

Captain Ibuprofen was still unsure of the new chief's temperament for the time being, and replied cautiously: "Breakfast has been prepared for you in the dining room, and Captain Vito is waiting there, and he invited me to come and wake you up, saying that there is something to do, and we will discuss it together when you come over for dinner." ”

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard what Vito meant, Heiko, who originally wanted to go to sleep, instantly lost all his sleepiness, and his eyes widened suddenly, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Without waiting for Captain Ibuprofen to explain, he hurriedly began to dress and wash, the speed that did not match his fat body at all made the young captain stunned, and his heart was a little envious for a while.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the cronies and subordinates brought by Mr. Colonel from the headquarters, and he is also a captain, but this attitude is called an attention, and it is completely different from himself......

"How long has he been waiting?"

Heiko brushed his teeth, his mouth full of white foam, and bent over to put on his leather shoes, "On such a cold day, did you just get up?" ”

"Uh......"

Captain Ibuprofen scratched the back of his head, and after thinking about it carefully, he said uncertainly:

"It didn't take long to get to the restaurant, but I should have gotten up at about half past five, and the other people you brought with me all got up at about the same time, and before dawn, I saw them upstairs in the training ground below for morning exercises."

Are these people monsters?

Heiko cursed in his heart, half past five? Not to mention that birds don't in this place - oh no, it's a ghost island where birds will be frozen when they and fart, even if Marin Fando was in the spring all year round, when he was a recruit, he never got up so early!

"It's not good......"

Finally cleaned up, led by ibuprofen, when he went downstairs to the restaurant, Heiko had been thinking about it, and he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, did he have to toss with this gang every day in the future, and get up earlier than the chickens?

His mind was full of hell in the future, and he walked all the way to the restaurant without noticing, until he turned the corner and saw the handsome face behind the table, which was already familiar and could no longer be familiar, appeared in front of him with a smile, and he suddenly woke up.

"Yo, Mr. Colonel, good morning!"

Vito greeted him warmly, "This way, this way, I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I specially asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite meals, hurry up and try it!" ”

This attitude flattered Heiko, and he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and with a calm smile on his face, he sat down in front of Vito, and waved his hand again, signaling that Captain Ibuprofen could leave.

When the young captain's back was far away, Heiko lowered his throat and reported carefully in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Lord Vito, don't worry, I have arranged all the things you explained last night, whether it is you, Mr. Seti and Miss Hill, the identities have been rewritten and entered into the documents."

"It's convenient to not have an electronic file."

Vito was still smiling, only his lips twitched slightly, so that people in the distance couldn't see what he was talking about, "But I didn't call you here early in the morning for this, but don't just sit and eat something." ”

"Oh, oh."

Heiko nodded hurriedly, he took the plate and knife and fork handed by Vito, and was about to start when he suddenly looked up sharply, showing an expression like he had seen a ghost, and looked at Vito stupidly.

He finally realized that something was wrong!

It's no wonder that from the moment I entered the restaurant until now, I have always felt that something was strange...... Looking at the sunny smile on Vito's face, Heiko felt a shock in his heart, and even his knife and fork were a little unstable.

If the impression that Vito gave him before was that he was always lazy and calm, and when he laughed, he had a kind of ruthlessness, domineering and unacceptable beak that only people who were used to licking blood from the knife edge had......

At this moment, all those uncomfortable thorny elements have disappeared.

Vito, who is dressed in a navy white uniform, brings out the handsome and masculine appearance to the fullest, laughs warmly and modestly, like a big brother next door, sunny and affinity, his blue eyes are intoxicating, and between his eyebrows, there is a sense of perseverance and unyielding justice.

How exactly is this done......

After only one night, this guy's temperament and temperament revealed between his words have become very different from yesterday, almost like two people!
