This was the first time Lu Xi had stayed in the Azure Palace for more than half a day.

Of course, strictly speaking, his current official status is actually "Admiral of the Federation, Admiral of the Praetorian Fleet" and so on, but now he lives in the office of Master Russell in a grand manner. Although no one felt that there was anything wrong with it, or even took it for granted, he always had a sense of déjà vu that the junta had been crowned with a monkey.

Now that it's all a military junta, let's be more direct. Lu Xi thought.

Is it because I'm the dictator of the junta that you're all under so much pressure? The head of the secret police, like Lieutenant General Makarov, was a little restless from the moment he entered the door. Is it because of me, or is it because of the secretary sister next to me?

Lu Xi looked at Makarov, who had lowered his head, with a wicked gaze, and took a report from the expressionless secretary beside him: "This is the plan proposed by the Governor of Anlos to expand the avenue connecting the Black City to the Green Port of the Duchy of Milan, and I have agreed. In a week at the latest, the first payment for the project will be allocated to the Governor's Palace. Of course, I think, Mr. Anroos, you could go one step further, for example, by taking the highway south directly to the southernmost port of Hogan on the Dragonclaw Peninsula, and to the north directly through the Iron Rock Canyon to the Triumphant Dominion. Of course, such a huge project will certainly not be started in a year or two, but the preliminary exploration work can be done. ”

Governor Anroth nodded. He didn't ask where the money came from, anyway, now Lu Xi's Fourth Army is busy raiding his family every day, and the central finance will really not be short of money for a while.

"Of course, you don't have to deal with this yourself, the first thing is to recommend a competent person who can accept your current job." Lu Xi said again.

Governor Anroth was slightly stunned, and then fell into a state of thought. He didn't show too much surprise, and said with a smile: "It seems that I can't be in the position of the governor of the black man for too long." ”

"Yes, Mr. Anroes, we have decided that you will be the administrator of the Orso Heaven District, and the federal secretary of the interior."

Lu Xi said this to Mr. Anroes at a time when the previous Secretary of State for the Interior of the Federation had just been hung on the highest gallows in Elichar. The head of the Wilambat family was like a frog on his knees, his legs twitching constantly, and he struggled for three minutes in front of tens of thousands of people before slowly dying.

Then there was another round of cheers and applause. Most people don't know why they're cheering and applauding, they just know that everyone else is doing it, so they're doing it.

However, all this is not visible to everyone in the Azure Palace, but the Governor of Anros who is just an ordinary person can't hear it.

The governor of the Black Mancheng City, who already had a reputation as a capable official in the nations, was about fifty years old, with a medium physique, a mediocre appearance, and a simple temperament, more like the mayor of a small country town, but the kind that often worked in the summer. Even the eyes do not have any adjectives such as wise or sharp, at most they are calm and firm.

Of course, Mr. Anlos is an ordinary person, he doesn't know magic and has no gods, and his strength can at most plough the fields with a hoe, but in the face of Lu Xi, an extraordinary person who has already stepped through the gate of legends, destroyed the demon god, and killed the abyss lord and the old devil of the same level, he has no intention of dodging at all, and said with a little hesitation: "So, in what name is this order?" ”

Lu Xi nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"I'm a straightforward person. Your Excellency, I am indeed the most suitable person for this position at present. As for the Governor of Blackman, my deputy, Mr. Lombard, can take over. He was the Chief Spirit Engineer of the Eighth Legion, and also managed the auxiliaries of Tuntian. When it comes to agricultural reclamation, law and order maintenance, and presiding over the subsequent expansion of trade routes, I think I will do a better job than I do. ”

"Well, I've heard of this one's reputation too, and it's trustworthy. So decide. Lu Xi nodded.

And this Mr. Lombard seems to be the cousin of Daddy Camcha, the old butler of Rose Island, so he is even more trustworthy.

It's not cronyism, it's an inward move that doesn't shy away from relatives, really!

And soon, the first spirit provincial feudal official will appear in the history of the Federation and even the nations, which is enough to be civilized enough to be a beacon and politically correct.

Kill three birds with one stone!

Lu Xi is more and more interested in this Governor of Anlos. Before waiting for the official order, he had already prepared all kinds of near-perfect follow-up plans, which is the absolute talent of the prime minister!

Then, he heard Anroes say again: "It's just that the Federal Secretary of the Interior needs to vote through the Senate and the House of Commons, and the Governor of the Orso Tian District needs to be formally appointed by the Federal Ruling Council." So, Your Excellency, in what capacity do you want to give orders to Owen? ”

Yes, strictly speaking, Lu Xi is still only a commander, not even the Minister of Military Affairs and the Chief of Military Orders, not even a veteran, and theoretically he does not even have the status of a civilian official.

"It may seem a bit pretentious to say that now, but ...... The late Master Rassell had always pursued institutional rationalization. This is the foundation of statecraft. Master Lu Xi, of course you are now qualified to give orders as the King of the Sky. You have the strength, the prestige, the support of the nations, all you need is a coronation. However, a new kingdom is not what I and Master Rassel are pursuing. ”

Lu Xi didn't say anything, Admiral Agrol who was present had already shown a helpless expression of "I knew you were like this", and Lieutenant General Makarov on the other side kept glancing at him. However, as if he had not seen it, Governor Anroth continued to speak in a calm tone: "If you have already made up your mind to be crowned king, I am not in a position to oppose it...... However, please allow me to retire and go home for the elderly. ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, and everyone was silent, but Lu Xi knew that everyone was waiting for his answer again.

In fact, there are too many people who need their own answer, but it was Anroes, a helpless civil official, who first proposed it.

It's really a bit of a national warrior. Lu Xi thought, paused, and motioned for the person behind him to speak.

General Lucy Berencaster's chief military secretary has now begun to make guest appearances as his political secretary

"Although a considerable number of the Elders are under scrutiny, the Archmage is a lifelong Elder of the Federation. Master Paron has promised to ask for a council tomorrow. First of all, he will be awarded the rank of Marshal of the Luxi Federation, and the Scholarly Alliance will also officially grant him the title of Grand Magister. In this capacity, he served as the commander-in-chief of the military and took over the command of the entire army. Then, some members of parliament will propose that he reorganize the cabinet and form a new governing committee. In the middle of the voting process, the whole country will temporarily enter a state of military control. As for you, act as Mayor of Elichar. ”

"To put it bluntly, it's just going through the motions. Doesn't that sound a bit hypocritical. Lu Xi smiled.

"No, even if it's a cutscene, it's a reasonable and legal procedure, which is very important, how can it be hypocrisy?" Governor Anros said in a straight way. He pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking seriously, and after a while he said, "Then, just go one step closer and ask you to officially assume the position of Supreme Consul of the Federation." ”

Even Lu Xi had to be slightly stunned. He guessed that someone would make the suggestion—even if the persuasion form was supposed to have been written—but he did not expect that it would be Mr. Anros.

You thick eyebrows and big eyes are so deeply hidden!

If this word spreads, it is estimated that quite a few politicians will think like this.

However, Governor Anros said calmly: "The last Consul of the Federation was Merlot Green, which shows that the Federation has its own precedent. Because of the Merlot Rebellion, this real head of state of the Federation was no longer established, and I personally thought that it was just a hypocritical evasion. There are too many hypocritical compromises and too many irresponsible evasions in federal politics, which are naturally caused by checks and balances of power, but the government of one country cannot be abandoned because of this. The current federation needs to have a stable situation and a strong enforcement capacity in order to carry out all the reforms made during Master Russell's lifetime. So, it's time to have an upright head of state. ”

He probably felt that his attitude was a little too heavy, so he also squeezed out a smile and said, "As you know, the ruling committee is not the legitimate head of state, and de jure it is only a matter of the senators. In diplomatic situations, it is customary to salute the Emperor of Auckland. I've been unhappy about this for a long time. ”

The current Emperor of Auckland, I put her on the ship and posed whatever I wanted. Lu Xi thought.

The next Emperor of Auckland, no one dares to say anything if I slap his ass. Lu Xi thought again.

"So, so be it." Lu Xi agreed very directly. There is no resignation, and there is nothing you push me to make, so it is so unobtrusive to determine the supreme national policy of the federation in the next five years.

The reason why it is five years is because Lu Xi has decided to stay in this position for only five years at most. He is not ready to turn the Confederation into a kingdom, nor is he ready to turn this "supreme consul" into a "dictator for life" or something.

How can the supreme head of state under the republican system be comfortable with the transnational capitalists who control everything behind the scenes?

While thinking about the happy life in the future, Lu Xi said to Agroll: "The Azure Palace has received the resignation of Marshal Killings, although I have persuaded it several times, but the old man has still made up his mind. Then you will have to take over as Minister of War. ”

Admiral Agrol, who had just been rescued from his imprisonment, did not look particularly weak and should not have been mistreated, but he looked a little depressed, and he only smiled bitterly when he heard this...... Hey, I'm so stupid and sluggish, how can I sit in this position? ”

"Occasionally, the fearless male lion can't see the gloom around him and is hurt by a filthy hyena. You have to understand that you are the only one in the entire Federation who has the qualifications and the hope to take on this burden. You are now in the prime of life, and even if Master Russell is alive, I don't want you to waste the next few decades! ”

Agroll showed an expression of interest, but he was a little hesitant, and then Lu Xi said: "In addition, I have asked Marshal Kirlings to do one more job before officially retiring, and appoint Lieutenant General Lyert of the First Army Corps as Deputy Chief of Military Orders, acting to preside over the work of the Military Command Department. ”

Lieutenant General Lyerte was the commander of the First Army, an old friend of Agroll's old subordinates, and a rare civilian general in the Federation, but unfortunately like his old friend, he was imprisoned during the coup, so he fought the soy sauce of the entire civil war.

Of course, unlike Lieutenant General Man Yin, who finally led the people to surrender in the Second Army, this one never gave in, and even sprayed a certain gate valve disciple who came to persuade him to surrender so that he couldn't take care of himself, so he was also beaten by the angry boy who was embarrassed and broke his right leg. This kind of tough guy who has never wavered in his position has to be vigorously promoted?

Lu Xi's meaning is very clear, Laiert has presided over the affairs of the whole army as the deputy chief of military orders, and after his old friend Agroll officially becomes the supreme military and political chief of the Federation, he will be able to go one step further.

Agrol nodded heavily. Lu Xi has done this, and if he doesn't agree, he will be a little ignorant.

"In addition, I have some personnel recommendations here, you can take them to study first, and then deal with them as appropriate after you officially take office." Lu Xi waved his hand, and Andreel next to him stepped forward and handed Admiral Agrol a list when he heard this.

He'd certainly agree to it all. Personnel to put it bluntly is to share the cake, and he has divided the cake as important as the commander of the military command, if Admiral Agrol still stupidly does not understand, it is impossible to have today's status.

Don't think that the nickname "Ghoul King" is some kind of brave and unscrupulous man, he is actually thick and fine, and he was the personnel director of the Ministry of Military Affairs before he went to the front line to lead the troops.

Of course, Lu Xi is also a person who is particular about people and will not embarrass his colleagues, and there will definitely be no vexatious personnel recommendations, which are all taken for granted, such as "Say that Grimmar will take over the Fourth Legion, Valerius will take over the Sixth Legion, and Offresha will be the director of the gendarmerie" and so on.

Of course, these three fierce uncles are all colonels, so they will be promoted immediately with the great merit of counterinsurgency, and then get a promotion again half a year later, which is very decent.

Again, it is definitely not cronyism, but an internal move that does not avoid relatives!

In addition, the former commander of the Sixth Army, Red Thunderlight, will be the chief of staff of the Central Fleet of Elichar, and the former chief of staff, Vice Admiral Rivers, will naturally be promoted to admiral. Although the latter is an old eel with no great skills and no backbone, at least he gave the gate valve faction a soft nail in the civil war, and he also managed to keep some capable civilian officers in the fleet, which can be regarded as a meritorious service to the country.

Lu Xi said that he is a person who must be rewarded for his merits, even if it is just to buy bones for his money, he must make this attitude. Of course, this kind of old eel chief officer who can only drill camps and can't fight should indeed be accompanied by a chief of staff who is not very emotionally intelligent but really capable, and "Red Thunder" is the most perfect candidate.

You see, what a perfect staffing arrangement! It's definitely not the military power of the people who rise and descend secretly, absolutely not!

"The procedure is legal, right?" Lu Xi asked Governor Anlos again, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"At least for now, it's in full compliance with federal law." Governor Anlos didn't joke at all, but solemnly thanked Lu Xi: "Thank you." Excellency. ”

"Oh, aren't you thanking me for making you the first non-magician Minister of the Interior in the history of the Federation?"

"No, thank you for so much respect for the waywardness of a republican believer."

Lu Xi glanced at this mediocre-looking official again, and said with a smile: "As long as you don't blame me right away, you can engage in mysticism and spy politics again...... Now, please leave for a moment, as well as Your Excellency Agroll, for Lieutenant General Makarov and I have some things to discuss.

That's the point. Makarov looked at Miss Andrell behind Lu Xi, she was expressionless and stiff from beginning to end, but she meticulously completed all the work assigned by Lu Xi, like a tool person who had no feelings.

If it weren't for Makarov, who was an extraordinary spellcaster, he could still feel the breath of life of Miss Secretary, and he almost suspected that the other party had been killed and turned into a zombie.

What can't be hidden, after all, can't be hidden! The leader of the Secret Imperial History watched pitifully as the Governor and His Excellency the Admiral left, and as Andreel closed the door again, he suddenly felt as if he had been isolated from the world.
