Chapter 304: Three Fires for the New Official to Take Office (Medium)
Faced with this letter of appointment, Sandro looked and looked, and looked and looked, except that he did not believe the content on it, and from the letter of appointment itself, there was really no trace of forgery.
"Nope! It's absolutely impossible! If there is such a big change in Duke Jackson, he will definitely tell me, and I will not take over my work until I get a reply from the Duke. ”
"That's not good!" The expression on Caesar's face instantly became gloomy, he also stood up, held the table with his hand and said: "Commander Sandro, as a public official of the Empire and a soldier of the Empire, you must know very well what the consequences of openly disobeying the orders of the Empire are, why can't you think of it?" ”
In the face of Caesar's aggressiveness, Sandro did not have the slightest intention of retreating, of course, he had no room to retreat, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If this appointment is true, I will naturally not have anything to say, and I can step down from my position at any time, but if this appointment is false, I will never let the paradise island fall into the hands of ill-intentioned people!" ”
"Who do you mean by ill intentions? Is that how you treat the new Governor of the Island? ”
"Of course, I mean people with bad intentions, the Governor doesn't have to sit down, I am the commander of the Paradise Island Guard personally appointed by Duke Jackson, even if I want to be replaced, I have to be replaced by the Duke."
"So that you only have Duke Jackson in your eyes, and there is no Imperial Cabinet at all, and there is no Her Majesty the Queen?"
"I didn't mean that, but if the Governor had to understand it that way, I couldn't help it."
As the verbal confrontation between Caesar and Sandro continued to escalate, the atmosphere in the entire conference room of the Governor's Palace was also tense and embarrassing, except for the two of them, the rest of the officials, big and small, did not dare to breathe.
"Humph!" After a short silence for a few seconds, Caesar suddenly sneered twice and said to the tall military attache behind him: "Hagrid, you are now the newly appointed commander of the Paradise Island Guardian Force of the Empire, and I ask you to take over the defense of Paradise Island before it gets dark tonight, and if anyone dares to obstruct it, it will be dealt with according to military law!" ”
"Yes!" After the tall officer named Hagrid received the order, he looked at Sandro and said, "Commander Sandro, you and I are both soldiers of the British Empire, I hope you won't embarrass me!" ”
"I'm still saying the same thing, no one should think of removing me from my post until I get a reply from Duke Jackson!" After saying that, Sandro slapped the table heavily, and then turned his head to leave the conference room, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said to the other island officials: "Everyone, you'd better think about whether this new Governor is justified, and by the way, think about who Duke Jackson is!" After speaking, Sandro left the governor's palace without looking back, Hagrid glanced at Caesar, which meant whether to stop him, Caesar shook his head lightly, smiled and said to everyone: "This commander's temper is really not small, but it can be understood, after all, the commander of the island escort team who has been the commander for so long was suddenly replaced, and he must not be able to accept it for a while." ”
Next, Caesar announced some other decisions, but basically did not involve the issue of official appointments, which means that the entire island cabinet remains the status quo for the time being, and all officials are slightly relieved.
According to Caesar's meaning, the Imperial Cabinet and Her Majesty the Queen attach great importance to the construction and development of Paradise Island, hoping to make Paradise Island a model area for the Empire's overseas territories, and for the development of Paradise Island before, Her Majesty and the Cabinet were not very satisfied, so they removed the position of Governor James.
Although Caesar basically brought good news, and all kinds of policy support made people feel quite energetic, but after all, the new governor suddenly appeared on his own, and it is difficult to say whether his identity is true or false, plus he removed the commander of the Paradise Island Escort personally appointed by Duke Jackson, which is bound to conflict with Duke Jackson, and it is difficult to say who wins or loses in the end.
After returning to the barracks of the island convoy, another lieutenant hastened to report the situation to Sandrow, and they carried out salvage on the surface of the sea, except for some useless things, not a single living person was saved, the pirate on the pirate ship died, Sandro's lieutenant also died, and the manager of the rum distillery died.
Faced with such a situation, Sandro angrily dropped the cup on the table, and the adjutant on the side was extremely nervous with every breath, and after holding it for a long time, Sandro slowly said: "The people who informed us are optimistic about the arsenal, no matter who approaches, they will be killed!" In addition, if someone comes to the barracks to take over the defense, they will be warned and expelled, if they don't listen to the warning, then they will shoot directly, and I will bear the responsibility if something happens! ”
"Yes! But Commander, I don't think you should worry, the soldiers on this island are loyal to you and the Duke, even if that Caesar Governor comes with the Empire's letter of appointment, don't try to take over our men. ”
"Well, having said that, after all, he came under the banner of the Cabinet and the Queen, so we must now find out what is going on in the Empire itself!"
"Well, Lord Commander, do you think it's possible, Lord Duke, he really ......", the adjutant was halfway through his words, but after seeing the expression on Sandro's face, he swallowed the other half alive.
"I know what you're trying to say, but I'm going to tell you that it's impossible! Even if Her Majesty the Queen and the Imperial Cabinet are dissatisfied with the Duke, they must also take care of the prestige and power of the Duke, the Duke has served as the Minister of State and the commander of the expeditionary force for so many years, and his power is huge and deep-rooted, and it is not something that can be done with a letter of appointment, I believe that someone is deliberately attacking the Duke on the mainland, and while the Duke is busy coping, he wants to change the status quo of Paradise Island, although the Duke may not be able to withdraw for a while, but once he solves those troubles, These fishers in troubled waters will have nowhere to hide. ”
In the British Empire, Duke Jackson, who was preparing for the follow-up in a step-by-step manner, suddenly received a summons from Her Majesty, which was nothing, but when Her Majesty personally told him that he was ready to step down as commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Duke Jackson was very surprised and shocked.
Her Majesty said to the Duke of Jackson: "You have served as the Imperial Expeditionary Force for many years, and have made many meritorious contributions to the British Empire, but because you have held the position of commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, you have not been able to travel all the year round, it is too hard, and it happens that the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is very old, so I intend for you to take over the post of Prime Minister of the Cabinet and stay in the capital to assist me fully." ”
Jackson looked at the somewhat strange Queen, and his heart was frenzied, on the surface, Her Majesty the Queen promoted him, because the Prime Minister is theoretically the highest official government of the entire British Empire, but under the power system of the British Empire, the Prime Minister actually does not have much real power, in addition to being restrained by the Parliament, the most important thing is that Her Majesty can casually overturn all the decisions of the Cabinet with a word, to put it mildly, this so-called Prime Minister is just the executor of the Queen's will, And once he stepped down as commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Jackson would have no military power in his hands, which was too dangerous for Jackson. 22.
