Anderson Leo doesn't like the atmosphere in Turin City now, although he is old, his eyes are not spent, and he can still see many things clearly.

For example, on the way out of the Navy Club, he saw many people with an obvious spy temperament walking on the streets, especially near the Garden Palace, and he also saw some agents of the Special Bureau carrying the wounded people into the carriage one by one, and those injured people should be members of some secret departments of the government without exception, including the navy.

He remembered that a similar situation had occurred in the harbor city of Bata before, where a large number of spies filled the streets and alleys of that city, where secret struggles and fights were carried out, and the last bodies and wounded were carried into carriages and disappeared forever, as if they had never existed.

As a traditional navy soldier, he was very disgusted with this kind of sneaky department, but he also knew that the kingdom could not do without this kind of department, so when the navy set up a separate intelligence department, he did not oppose it, but voted in favor, and even took the initiative to help the person who he hated so much to persuade the congressman.

Thinking of this, Anderson Lehman, who was still in a somewhat bad mood just now, became a lot happier because the person he hated and even hated had finally died, which was definitely the happiest news for him in the last ten years.

When he heard the news a few days ago, he thought it was someone joking with him, but after repeated confirmation, he realized that his greatest wish in all these years had come true. The illusory feeling of a dream come true made it unreal even now, after all, a cunning guy like Hoover Hansen didn't look like the kind of person who would die in an assassination.

In the past so many years, he had fantasized about killing that guy countless times in his mind, from strangling his hands to poisoning him to death, but he finally held back his hatred and let that guy survive and continue to serve the Kingdom Navy, because he knew very well that this guy living would help the development of the Kingdom Navy.

It is precisely because he cleverly hides his emotions that even the closest lieutenants around him do not know that he is not only disgusted with Hoover Hansen, but also hateful, because Hoover Hansen's massacre of the colonies not only negated everything he did as the admiral of the fleet in Paradise Harbor, but also led to the death of his two unknown illegitimate sons and illegitimate daughters in that massacre.

Like most of the noble-born senior admirals of the Anglo Navy, Anderson Lehman served as an adjutant in the colonies of Moissanism in the early days, and then as an admiral in the colonial navy.

Among his contemporaries, Anderson Lehman was definitely the most outstanding, graduating from the Kingdom's Naval Academy at the age of eighteen with first honors and becoming the chief lieutenant of the colonial governor. Later, with his outstanding performance in some affairs, he successfully won the appreciation of the colony admirals and recruited into the navy, becoming a captain of the colony's First Fleet.

At the age of twenty-four, he took over the colony's Third Fleet, and the following year he became the Admiral and Mayor of the Third Fleet, the port city of Bollicia, becoming the first admiral to hold both military and political positions.

In the years that followed, he not only built the Third Fleet into the strongest fleet in the colonies, but even Polyxia, which was originally just a small city, was built by him into one of the largest harbor cities in the colonies of the Kingdom of England.

Moreover, in the past few years, he has also published a large number of papers on naval construction and maritime strategy, which were published in the official newspaper of the Naval Academy, and a large number of suggestions have been adopted by the Navy.

At the age of thirty-two, Anderson Lehman was repatriated from the colonies, where he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general on merit and served as chief of staff of the First Fleet, becoming the youngest vice admiral and the youngest fifth man in the Navy.

According to the normal procedure, he was supposed to continue to accumulate merit, and in his forties, he became the youngest admiral.

However, the various riots and uprisings that broke out in the colony in the second year became a major turning point in Anderson Lehman's life, and the Polyhya he governed before became one of the cities where the riots originated, and was suppressed by Hoover Hansen, who succeeded him, at the beginning of the riots, and in the process of this suppression, more than half of the residents of Polyhya were killed and wounded, and the illegitimate children and mistresses he left in Polyhya for two years and then took over died at the hands of Hoover Hansen's specially formed riot army.

At that time, when Anderson Lehman heard the news, his first thought was to avenge his children and impeach Hoover Hansen, but Hoover Hansen was obviously a chess player, and he thought at the beginning that Anderson Lehman would find trouble for him, so he made the first move.

Before Anderson Lehman's impeachment papers were handed in, a series of unfavorable news spread to the kingdom, all of which were spread by Hoover Hansen, and a large number of specious rumors said that when Anderson Lehman was mayor and admiral, he deliberately connived at the development of those anti-colonial forces in the city, and even accepted bribes from these forces to facilitate their development, which led to the current riot.

Although the Navy did not believe it at all, the people were already boiling over because of this matter, and Congress directly impeached Anderson Lehman with no confidence, although in the end, because of the Navy's strong protection, and the so-called evidence was too fake, the impeachment could not be passed, but Anderson Lehman has been greatly affected, and is no longer suitable to serve as the chief of staff of the First Fleet, and was finally arranged by the Navy to teach at the Naval Academy.

On the contrary, Hoover Hansen, who stepped on Anderson Lehman to power, received the attention of hawkish forces in the Navy in the process of suppressing the colonial uprising, and finally sat in such a high position as Chief of the General Staff of the Navy, becoming the third man in the Navy, if it were not for his noble background, he might have been able to rise to a higher position.

On the other hand, although Anderson Lehman's career has been affected, his talent is still here, even if he has entered the Naval Academy, which is commonly known as a nursing home, he can still shine, and in his first year of entry, he won a congressional commendation and became a professor at the academy for putting forward a thesis proposal that would help adjust the naval military system.

In the third year, when the dean of the Naval Academy retired, through the relationship accumulated over the years, Anderson Lehman was designated as his successor, and for more than 40 years, Anderson Lehman has been the dean of the Naval Academy, cultivating nearly eighty or ninety percent of the high, middle and low-level generals in the current Kingdom Navy, which has invisibly expanded his influence.

A few years ago, the Navy's chief of logistics retired due to ill health, and Anderson Lehman used his influence to obtain this seemingly unimportant civilian position.

Although the number of generals of the older generation in the Navy is small, these people are in high positions and know how bad the relationship between Anderson Lehman and Hoover Hansen is. It stands to reason that the two should not be placed in the same military system, but the logistics unit held by Anderson Lehman does not seem to be an important organ in general, and it is impossible to affect the admirals who hold military power, so those talents did not stop Anderson Lehman from taking the position in the first place.

It's just unexpected that Anderson Lehman didn't ask for this position casually, after he took up his post, he immediately carried out a drastic reform of the entire logistics department, which not only increased efficiency, but also made the accounts of the logistics department much clearer, and relied on this account to find out a lot of naval moths.

Taking the opportunity to clean up the moths in the Navy, Anderson timely thought that Congress and the Navy ran out a proposal for the reform of the Navy budget, in which he used a large number of facts to explain the shortcomings and other sides of the current Navy budget statistics, and carried out some subtle reforms according to each side, through which not only the Navy's annual budget funds can be reduced by more than 30%, but also have a great help to the overall command and transfer of the Navy.

The proposal is almost flawless, and if implemented, it will solve the Navy's current problem of redundancy and redundancy, and it will also save Congress a considerable amount of money each year.

So when the proposal was passed, Anderson Lehman, who knew the most about the proposal, naturally became the main executive and manager of the proposal.

Later, through the proposed reforms, the navy's originally scattered and large fleets were integrated, the control of the seas was improved, and the navy's military expenditure was also reduced a lot, and there was even a situation where the previous year's budget military expenditure was not used up.

It is also for this reason that Anderson Lehman's influence on the Navy has increased day by day, and he has become one of the most important figures in the Navy.

For Anderson Lehman's students, it is a happy thing for their dean to re-enter the decision-making level of the Navy, because everyone knows that as long as you are talented, no matter what your background, Anderson Lehman will spare no effort to recommend him to the right position without too much unnecessary suppression, but for others, Anderson Lehman's appearance is sad, these people are Hoover Hansen and his descendants.

Although Hoover Hansen is also a high authority in the navy, he was not born in the aristocracy after all, and most of the admirals who can be co-opted by him are mainly civilian generals, and the development of power is not very large, compared to his status as the third person in the navy, his authority and influence are obviously much worse, and even less useful than the honorary title of naval hero.

Although Anderson Lehman hated Hoover Hansen, he did not rush to directly attack Hoover Hansen, but pointed out some mistakes in Hoover Hansen's strategic proposals in a very formal way, and publicly vetoed Hoover Hansen's various proposals.

If he used his own identity to veto Hoover Hansen, once or twice the top of the Navy might have seen his influence pass, but after a long time, he would inevitably side with Hoover Hansen.

However, his veto of Hoover Hansen's proposal was all through the regular process, and the reasons for the veto were extremely sufficient, and the loopholes in the proposal were also very correct; if the proposal was not found and the proposal was implemented, it might not have an impact on the overall structure of the Navy in a short period of time, but after a long time, it would cause the Navy to fall into a state of division.

In addition, hesitating Anderson Lehman's conscious guidance, the upper echelons of the Navy can feel that the loopholes in these proposals are a big problem for them, but they can faintly increase Hoover Hansen's influence and power in the Navy.

In this way, the trust of Hoover Hansen, who made up the vast majority of the naval elite from aristocratic backgrounds, was not as obedient as before.

Hoover Hansen also felt this, and he knew very well that if he continued like this, he would be completely marginalized within the Navy, so when he still held a certain amount of power and influence, through lobbying and exchange of interests, the admiral's political plan submitted by him was approved, and he also won the support of the Navy and became the first senior admiral of the Navy to officially enter the political arena.

Hoover Hansen's approach did work, and while Anderson Lehman had a lot of influence in the Navy, he had much less influence in politics. If nothing else, when Hover Hansen began to run for the lower parliament with the support of the Navy, Anderson Lehman's suppression of him would no longer exist, and he could gradually expand his power in both the military and political circles by virtue of his dual status as a member of the House of Commons and a retired admiral of the Navy.

Hoover Hansen's plan Anderson Lehman could naturally see it clearly, but he couldn't do anything, because the Navy top brass had already had a deep conversation with him, and if he did something more at this time, then it would be difficult for him to get the support of the Navy top brass in the future.

For this reason, the top brass of the Navy, who knew their grudges very well, also forcibly arranged a long vacation for Anderson Lehman, so that he would not be able to make trouble when he couldn't help but build momentum for the Hoover Hansen campaign, so that he could stay in the Navy Club for a long time during this time.

Although Anderson Lehman was tied up by the top brass of the Navy, he did not do nothing, because he knew very well that if Hoover Hansen succeeded in his election, then it would be almost impossible for him to retaliate against Hoover Hansen through normal means, unless he violated his own code of conduct by other means.

So, during the period of vacation, Anderson Lehman also secretly did some things, such as deliberately leaking some admirals' political plans, which attracted the attention of Congress and the royal family, and he also collected some useful information and prepared to secretly hand it over to Congress when the time was right.

With this information, it may not be possible to convict Hoover Hansen of some circumstances, but at least it will be possible to strip him of the skin of a naval hero and make him lose his greatest protection.

But what he didn't expect was that before he could make a move, he received the news of Hoover Hansen's death, which made him feel inexplicably empty while being surprised.
