"Your Majesty, it is my duty and honor to share your worries and work for the affairs of the Empire, so I still hope to continue to serve as the commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force."

"Lord Duke, I can understand your willingness to share my worries, but I prefer that you can stay by my side to share my worries, and one more thing, although I have absolute trust in you, but you also know that there will always be some rumors among the people, you have been the commander of the expeditionary force for so many years, and you should indeed withdraw to avoid suspicion, and after blocking those boring words, maybe one day the expeditionary force will continue to need you as a commander."

The Queen's words are said to this, if Jackson continues to fight, the purpose is a little too obvious, although he is unwilling in his heart, but after all, the Queen is the most important figure in the British Empire, in this case, Jackson had to suppress the anger in his heart first, and tried to maintain a calm face and said to the Queen: "I am 100% in accordance with Her Majesty's arrangement, but I have served as the commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Force for many years, and the work in my hands is inextricably linked, so I am afraid it will take several months to hand over to the successor." In addition, the Empire's overseas territories have some chores to attend to, so I beg Her Majesty to give me some more time. ”

"The Duke has really worked tirelessly for the Empire, however, the current situation in the Empire is not peaceful, the Republican Revolutionaries in Suel have always been restless, and those annoying Protestants have also been testing the bottom line of the Empire, coupled with various livelihood and economic problems caused by the floods in the west, now I need you to immediately become Prime Minister to deal with these thorny issues, as for the handover, the new Expeditionary Force Commander General Vogtson will deal with it, if he doesn't understand anything, I can ask you for advice at any time, right? ”

"Vogtson?" The name of the queen made Jackson feel a little unfamiliar, and he thought for a long time as if he didn't have a general named Voguson in his impression.

Looking at Jackson's puzzled look, the queen smiled and said, "This General Vogtson has been serving in the Imperial Northern Garrison before, he is a very knowledgeable young man, and he is deeply appreciated by Duke Philip, after consideration, I have decided to let him take over your position." ”

"From the north again?" Jackson was suspicious in his heart, the Duke Philip was from the north, and the general Voguson was also from the north, and the north had always been a political vacuum in the empire before, and almost no one could come out of there and enter the core political circle of the empire, so the elites of the empire, including Duke Jackson, were not very familiar with people from the north, why did the queen suddenly promote these forces from the north now?

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, you also know the situation in the north, General Vogtson may be very good, but after all, he is not familiar with the situation of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and the Imperial Expeditionary Force is the most important military force of the Empire, so I am afraid it will be ...... for him to be the commander."

"Your concerns do exist, but whoever takes on the role of new commander needs to be familiar with the process, and I'm sure General Voguson will get into the groove as soon as possible, okay, that's it, let's talk about other things, how is the governor of that distant paradise island doing now?"

"Governor James is still on his way back to the mainland, and I have ordered Sandro, the commander of the Paradise Island Guard, to cooperate with the Paradise Island Cabinet regarding the investigation of the assassin's assassination, and I am still considering a new governor candidate."

"Oh, you don't have to think about the new governor, I've already arranged for a new governor to go to Paradise Island, well, counting, I should have arrived on Paradise Island by now."

"What?" Jackson almost didn't scream, if it weren't for the Queen standing in front of him, he would have been angry and cursed.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say before that I would decide on the new Governor of Paradise Island? Why did someone else suddenly appoint? And it has not been long since I reported to you the assassination of Governor James, why have the new governors already arrived on Paradise Island? Are you deliberately teasing me? ”

Although Jackson repeatedly restrained his emotions, he was first removed from the post of commander of the expeditionary force, and then suddenly did not let him interfere in the appointment of the new governor of Paradise Island, and even sent a new governor early, these things were mixed together, and finally his emotions were a little out of control.

The queen looked at the emotional Jackson, the expression on her face was not very good, she said to Jackson faintly: "Lord Duke, please pay attention to the way you speak, I know that these things are a bit surprising to you, but this should not be a reason for you to be angry, especially in the face of me. ”

Realizing that something was going on, Jackson took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then said: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, I didn't mean to offend you, but I would like to know why the new governor of Paradise Island has arrived on Paradise Island?" If you don't want me to meddle in the affairs of Paradise Island beforehand, you can let me know in advance. ”

"I'm a little embarrassed about this, because it's really improvised, since I started to think about promoting you to the rank of Prime Minister, I feel that I should free you from other trivial matters, so that you can have enough energy to deal with the affairs of the empire itself, and there happens to be a new governor on the way to take office, and the place where he was supposed to serve is also one of the overseas territories of the empire, relatively close to paradise island, so I immediately asked someone to urgently send a message to him to change his itinerary."

Although the queen explained, it was obvious that this explanation was a bit reluctant, and it really had to be carefully scrutinized, and there were many problems in it that could not be explained, but at this time, Jackson did not plan to delve into it anymore, he could see that all that the queen had already begun to premeditate, and the earliest could be started after she recovered from her critical illness, so even if he continued to be more serious, it was meaningless, and the queen was helpless to prevaricate him.

According to Jackson's original plan, he still needs to lie dormant for a while, wait for all the weapons to be ready, and only wait for the Liberals to work together, and his grand cause can begin, but today's sudden change forced him to change his original expectations.

Coming out of the palace, Jackson was just about to get into the carriage, Duke Thomas came up to him, and after he saw Duke Jackson, he took the initiative to come up to greet him for the first time.

"Lord Duke's face doesn't seem to look good, why is there something troublesome?" Thomas asked, smiling.

"It's okay, maybe it's a little tiring due to busy business."

"Oh, I heard you're about to be promoted to the rank of Prime Minister of the Empire?"

"You knew before I did?" Jackson said self-deprecatingly, "Looks like I was the last to be notified." ”

"This is understandable, the queen wants to appoint a new prime minister, and she must consult the parliament in advance, congratulations to you, prime minister."

"Why should Duke Thomas? You can imagine what kind of mood I am in at this time, you and I have worked together for many years, and I believe you know me very well. ”

"Of course I know you, and I'm surprised by Her Majesty's proposal, but because of some concerns, I can't talk to you." As he spoke, Duke Thomas moved closer to Jackson, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "If the Duke has time, I would like to invite you to my castle tonight, I have recently bought a new batch of fine wine." ”
