Chapter 335: Scheduling Power
"Commander Gray is naturally right, the county town of Sadrand is located in the western part of the empire, and now that the war has just ended, your approach to strictly guarding the city defense is naturally right!"
Jose smiled faintly, and then said: "As the Governor of Sadland, I can have a conscientious subordinate like Commander Gray, and it is too late to commend you, so how can I blame you?"
Hearing him say this, Gray raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Jose with some surprise, but he didn't expect that the new county warden didn't take advantage of the topic, and it seemed that he was also a smart guy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well, as Commander Gray said, Sadrand is an important town in the western frontier, and after the war, the military defense of the county town is the top priority. But when I checked it today, I found that the walls of Sadland were quite strong, but the gates were much worse!"
Jose shook his head deliberately, but his eyes fell on the faces of everyone at the round table intentionally or unintentionally, and said lightly: "I just heard Commander Gray say that you are responsible for the defense of this city, but this Sadland city gate should be repaired." After all, some things are too much to use if they are not repaired, Commander Gray, are you right?"
When Gray heard this, his face was a little ugly. He didn't know that Joseph was deliberately saying this to him, originally he wanted to deliberately not open the main door to give Joseph a dismount. Unexpectedly, the new county guard was a magician, not only broke through the city gate directly to enter the city, but used this matter to suppress himself, which made Gray very unhappy.
Seeing Gray's ugly face, although Joseph smiled coldly in his heart, a more sincere smile appeared on his face. His gaze swept over the people present, and finally he slowly spoke: "Then now we will officially start the discussion, I am a newcomer, and I don't know a lot about the situation in Sadland.
So today's discussion is more about getting to know me. Why don't you introduce yourself first, so I have an impression in my heart, how about you think this?"
Introduce yourself?
The officials at the round table were a little surprised, the newly appointed county keeper called them to the county guard's mansion just to get to know them?
However, although he muttered a little in his heart, those guys were not the domineering Northwest Army like Gray after all, and now listening to the words of Jose, the county guard, it is naturally difficult to disobey. It's just that according to the rank, in addition to José, the second-in-command present is naturally Gray, but he has just been ridiculed by Jose like this, where will he take the initiative to stand up and introduce himself.
Seeing this, Alok on the side groaned for a while, and stood up to play a round: "Lord County Guard must have known Commander Gray, so let me start." Lord Joseph, I'm Alroe, and I'm currently the deputy commander of the garrison of Sadland!"
After Alok finished speaking, Martin on the side also nodded, gave a military salute to Jose and said, "Report to Lord County Guard, I am Martin, the commander of the Third Banner Regiment of the Garrison of Sadland!"
As soon as the father and son of Alok said this, the rest of the civil and military generals also stood up one after another, introducing their names and positions to Jose. There were not only high-ranking officers like Graya Locke, but also some low-ranking officers such as ordinary battalion officers, and even some officials who managed the county's tax revenue, household registration, carriage and horse transportation, etc., all stood up and saluted with Jose.
However, there are also some guys who are not so friendly, such as the guys dressed as several officers behind Gray, who sit on the right side of the round table, and sit below Gray in turn. On the left, it was Arok and some civil officials in the city who were at the head, and the two sides seemed to be faintly distinguished according to some rules.
Naturally, none of these escaped Jose's eyes, but to his surprise, except for a few generals of the Northwest Army, most of the civilian officials in the city were sitting behind Alok on the left, and many low-ranking officers stood on the right side of the round table, but most of their eyes fell on Gould behind him, these people were the guys who were surprised that Gould appeared before, presumably it should be Gould's old department.
After Joseph roughly figured out the situation, these people were almost introduced, and then he smiled slightly: "I have just arrived in Sadland, and I still don't know a lot of things, especially in the military and political aspects, and I still need the assistance of Commander Gray and Commander Aloke!
After José said this, although everyone was a little surprised, but thinking that the new county magistrate, I am afraid that it was really just to get to know a little bit about the big and small officials in the city, so they all were summoned, and the next thing I am afraid is to discuss the matter with the real powerful officers like Gray and Aloke.
Thinking of this, everyone saluted and left one after another under the leadership of Gould. It was a moment or so before Gould returned from the courtyard, whispered a few words in Joseph's ear, and then stepped back behind him.
At this moment, there were less than a dozen people in the huge council hall, except for Jose Grea Locke, there were only Martin Gould and the three or two adjutant generals behind Gray.
Seeing this scene, Joseph glanced at Gray and said lightly: "Now that the war in the northwest has just ended, it is the time when everything is waiting to be rebuilt, in addition to the people's livelihood, the military and politics naturally cannot be ignored. I summoned you two commanders to find out what the armaments are in Sadland.
I know that most of the garrison troops in the city are the Northwest Army assigned by General Ronkedo, right? But now that I have taken over Sadland, the next step must be to fulfill the duties of the garrison chief of the county, and the regulation of this army ......?"
"What do you mean by this, Lord Joseph, do you want to take over the command of the army from me and Allock?" Gray asked with a sneer on his face when he heard him say this.
"Haha, although I am the county guard of Sadrand, the position of the garrison chief is only in name, where do I have the energy to take charge of the army and train the troops? Commander Gray, I naturally don't mean that, besides, the Northwest Army is under the command of the Sistine Governor of Moxi Province, where do I dare to dictate it without permission?"
Gray's face only looked a little better when he heard José say this. However, they all knew in their hearts that the so-called subordination to Moxi Province and Sistine control were all nonsense, and the real Northwest Army troops were all in the hands of Long Keduo.
Jose naturally didn't want to let the great warlord of the Northwest worry about himself on the first day of his tenure and seize power from Ronkedo, and he had no plans to do so for the time being.
