“…… To put it simply, it is the political behavior of a country, which pursues a policy of 'military priority', military construction and development, external warfare, and internal control over other political activities. Obviously, the ACA pursues the principle of military administration, and in the ACA's cabinet meetings, in general, except for military personnel, only the finance director and the minister of agriculture and labor are qualified to play the highest level of cabinet meetings, and this political structure is essentially no different from that of the military government......

"That's Herris? Major General Ivanova's report on the events in Milan, do you have any questions? ”

In the dimly lit enclosed conference room, a deep male voice broke the almost condensing silence that had lasted ever since the little girl stepped onto the podium.

"No, disband, Major General."

An old voice came from the center of the semicircular table directly opposite Helis with the gradually brightened light, and Helis, who was rarely dressed in a specially customized ACA official uniform, raised his right hand and saluted in the direction of the semicircular conference table, then turned around, and his black riding boots made a crisp sound on the ground and disappeared outside the door.

"Now, then, let's start the closed-door discussion."

Clark sitting in the center? Robertson turned his head and addressed the middle-aged man sitting to his left who was presiding over the meeting, the vice-president of the society, the secretary of state, the secretary of the interior and the head of the civilian faction - Omarth? Taylor. Because this review meeting is aimed at senior officials of the military, or the Eye of Unity. So naturally, it was initiated and presided over by the head of the civil bureaucratic faction, among the seven members of the society. In addition to the transcendent society president Clark? In addition to Robertson, the military and civilian officials make up half of each other, but they are divided into more subdivided factions - the military attaché faction, that is, the three members of the military, namely the vice president Charles? Admiral Pierre, Chief of the General Staff of the three services, adviser to the "Eyes of Unity"; Marshall, chairman of the Anti-Cartel Monopoly Society's Special Tactics and Intelligence Control Agency, "Eyes of Unity"? Admiral Colona and Army Commander-in-Chief Lambert? Taylor, that is, Ormath? Taylor's cousin. And in the civilian faction, except for Omarth? Outside of Taylor. And the Minister of Defense, the Director of Finance, Vincent? Balk; And the Minister of Agriculture and Labour, Mr. Paul? Kirk.

Complicated things are still to come, in addition to the contradictions of the civil and military factions, due to Char? Pierre always preferred the "eye of unity", which led to the division of the "SS" and the "National Army" in the military camp, plus the army commander was also the cousin of the Minister of the Interior, and the Minister of Defense was inextricably linked to the military system...... Therefore, it is very common for these six people to divide into factions. The so-called basic essence of the political family is that interests come first, and the face is not wanted, so all kinds of dramas that turn their faces and do not recognize people are often staged.

For example, at the beginning of the year, when the budget was allocated, Ormath? Taylor and Lambert? Taylor's cousins almost got to a duel.

Furthermore. Due to the dictatorship and the first military administration, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Education. Departments such as the Ministry of Justice are not eligible for a seat in the Institute of Seven, as far as the police system is concerned. Marshall? Incidentally, Colona also serves as a police chief, but compared to the power of the Eye of Unity. This position is less than worth mentioning.

"Commander Lambert, tell me what you think."

Ormath? Taylor kicked the ball to his cousin without any suspense - since the biggest loss is your army, it is natural that the crying child has milk to eat, your brother and I have already made it clear that I have our support for you in convening this meeting, so don't be afraid of the two fierce black dogs opposite.

"I think that our loss in Milan this time must be entirely due to Helis? Major General Ivanova is in charge! "Lambert? Taylor took the ball in understanding, put on a distressed look, turned his head to look at Marshall, who was sitting on his left staring at the ceiling, and Char, who was playing with a ballpoint pen on Marshall's left, and slapped the table angrily, "I won't go into the specific details, I just want to emphasize one thing, our general who was in charge of liaising with her at the time begged her to immediately mobilize the concentrated rear TF for support, but she refused several times, although in the end she still sent reinforcements, But it wasted precious time, it can be said that if there was no her deposit, then the Novara base would have a TF team of at least six people to defend, and the TF of the nearest base would also arrive in twenty minutes, I can say that this defeat should not have happened at all! ”

"Marshall, what do you think?" Clarke? Robertson listened to Lambert's narration without any expression, "Helis went to Milan on your orders, and he used your warrant. ”

"That's right, Mr. President," Marshall nodded calmly, "My order is clearly written in the report, and the reason I sent her is because we have evidence that someone has discovered our 'candlewax' plan, and she's going to deal with the TFs who are following the trails. ”

"You mean, not an alliance?" Speaker Clark keenly captured a detail of Marshall's words.

"That's right, according to the intelligence of the Eyes of Unity, our partners within the Alliance have dealt with the leak of the South African branch, but this does not rule out that there are individual Alliance intelligence officers who have used their own means to track down, and the people who attacked this attack were hired TFs, as well as a mixed team of knights, and we are sure that they are the ones who continue to track down the 'candlewax', and are likely to be employed by the Alliance."

"But Major General Ivanova with the forty TFs that came in the group, plus the carefully prepared traps, didn't get rid of these four guys, right?" Feeling that he needed to work harder, Interior Minister Omath smiled coldly, "So in fact, your purpose has not been achieved. ”

"I can't say that, Lord Taylor, after all, 12 of them were later transferred." Of course, he couldn't let his companions be beaten by the civilian officials, Char put the ballpoint pen on the table and opened his mouth to show solidarity with Marshall, "And. According to our information, there is a mechanical TF in the other party's commando team, which is said to be the best in the generation. Former Chief Knight of the Privy Cavalry and Captain of the Guards Cavalry? Miele, and the 'Scabbard Knight' Linya, who is not much different in strength? Patterson. And the fact is that our trap was directly broken by these few people, and it was completely crushed by strength. ”

Of course, what Charr said is not the truth, and it is obviously evasive, but it can be regarded as not letting Marshall fight alone.

"But, Admiral Colona," Lambert sneered like his brother's, "your Eyes of Unity are in charge of intelligence, and I won't ask you how these two top knights infiltrated the Milan area. But you already know that you have to deal with these two intractable enemies, so why not prepare for them? ”

Lambert selectively ignored Char, but pointed the finger at Marshall, who was in a similar position to himself, and continued to attack like a cannonball, "Your Eye of Unity first abolished our Army Intelligence Department, and then took over the jurisdiction of all TFs, and our Army has satisfied you, but we cede jurisdiction for the sake of the great cause of human evolution, not for you to send people to our rear to make trouble at a critical time!" ”

"There was a mistake in intelligence work. I will not shy away, and I confess that the order I gave to Major General Ivanova was so harsh that she considered it inflexible. Marshall took a step back, apparently he and Char were here to be beaten today. After all, after poking such a big basket, Marshall sent Helis out because of Char's request, and gave the order to die - of course, Marshall was naturally not a political imbecile who threw Char out of the blame. Anyway, the more miserable he is now, the more favor Char owes him.

The headache is how to deal with this matter so as not to lose too much.

"President. I propose to reconsider the issue of the command authority of the Eye of Unity over the TF. Sure enough, Omarth made a move. "I think, especially in a war zone, the Army's front-line commanders are better able to judge the situation and understand which tasks are more important than the Eyes of Unity cadres who come from afar. ”

"Hmmm......"

Clarke? Robertson let out an inexplicable snort, and just a few milliseconds before that, Charl, who had been pretending to be careless and playing with the ballpoint pen? Pierre Tong Guò, his unique perception as a super TF, caught the president showing a hint of displeasure.

The army wants to grab the authority of the Praetorian Guard with the Eye of Unity, but it is still too tender.

However, this is obviously the sky-high asking price of the Taylor brothers, and the next thing is to see how they sit on the ground and pay back.

"I don't think that's right, Lord Taylor," Char said in a deep voice after not thinking long, "I think the TF must be managed by the Eye of Unity, and I have a very good reason. ”

"Everyone knows that in addition to Major General Ivanova, there is another person who needs to be responsible for this incident, that is, the head of the Italian branch of the Eye of Unity, the commander-in-chief of the Milan City Defense Army, Andorra? Jericho, without his careless movements, most of our troops would have been able to get into bunker before the satellite attack arrived, with a conservative estimate of 75% fewer casualties. Of course, I know that this man is the person of the Eye of Unity, but he reveals a problem, and that is that ordinary people cannot manage TF. ”

"Can I understand that this is contempt for us ordinary people? Noble TrueForce, Char? Your Excellency Pierre. ”

Lambert felt that he should jump out and be a gunman, and he would never be ambiguous.

"Lambert? Admiral Taylor, this is not a matter of contempt or contempt, this is an objective fact. ”

Char politely smiled at the gloomy Lambert before continuing his statement, "Andorra? Jericho was a man of great talent, and in fact we can see from the process of his defection - although the results were not good for us, we cannot deny these objective facts.

However, such a person will only be marginalized in the eyes of unity, General Lambert is also from the army, and should also understand that veterans use personal strength as the best weight for obedience, and if a relatively stable pyramid power system is not established, the TF are likely to be unstable, and I believe that this is also the original intention of His Excellency Robertson to establish the eye of unity. ”

"I'll consider this at my discretion as to your advice about Omas," finally President Robertson, who had been silent, spoke, and of course there were two other secretaries of defense and agriculture and labor in the room who had been silent, but when discussing such military issues, the two would always unconsciously form an alliance to form the "Yes Mister Group", acting as a human flesh set to make the conference room seem less empty.

"After all, the transfer of authority is a very complicated process, and we need more research and numbers to determine which option is better, and you can raise this issue at the ministerial meeting early next year, and I will consider it." ”

Spring hasn't quite arrived yet, and writing a blank check for next year is obviously an answer to Ormath: Don't try to touch my cake.

"That's it," Char said suddenly, after all, he had already taken advantage of the president, and he had to take the initiative to take a step back to show friendship, otherwise it would be too detrimental to "unity within the Society".

If the so-called unity really exists.

"We will come up with a plan to deal with this matter, and in addition, in terms of coordination with the front-line commanders, we will also come up with a specific reference standard and plan to further clarify the responsibilities and authority, in any case, we promise to give the army a perfect explanation, you see."

"Well, let's make this tomorrow's topic, and at noon Char you and Marshall will work on an outline," President Robertson nodded, "After all, we all have the same purpose, and may the light of evolution shine on all of humanity." ”

"May the light of evolution shine on all mankind!" (To be continued......)
