Chapter Forty-Three: Restraining the Horse from the Precipice
Scarlett's question has always been a very tricky one in the eyes of Captain Cao. Just because after the arrival of this woman, it actually invisibly brought great psychological pressure to Captain Cao. Because she is too dazzling, because her personal charm is too huge, and because she is too charming, and because she is still the senior sister of Captain Cao.
Captain Cao was not afraid that his team would be taken away by this woman, but that he was worried that this woman's influence would be so great that what he was familiar with would no longer be familiar. There is no doubt that Old Man Ao's current arrangement directly solves this concern of Captain Cao, according to the old man's arrangement, even if Scarlett has real power in this plundering group, it is very limited.
When you think about it, this conclusion is easy to come to the table. The full strength of the raiding group is at most the scale of a thousand people, a thousand people group, and a priest who has reached the sixth rank in the temple is already considered complete. And the plundering group has the perverted priest of Captain Cao, who can top several priests of the same rank alone, and there is no need for extra priests at all.
In other words, even if the raiding group recruits many indigenous priests in this exiled domain in the future, Captain Cao may not be able to use it, at most they are contributing their own popularity to the development alliance, and the front-line troops will not be able to raise a large number of priests who eat leisurely. Then, as their leader, Scarlett's future focus will naturally gradually shift to the development alliance.
Old Man Ao's hand is not unskillful, which not only eases the relationship between Captain Cao and Scarlett, but also keeps a talent like Scarlett in his camp. Scarlett's excellence, even a blind person can see this. Captain Cao was reluctant to let her integrate too deeply into his team just because he hadn't thoroughly understood her, and if she was in other people's camps, Captain Cao would definitely feel sincerely envious.
Well, now that Head Cao has enough time and space to slowly keep his senior sister by his side. For the fine handling methods of the old man Ao, the head of Cao was convinced.
The rest is only Gael, the deputy master of the raiding group who obeys the orders of His Majesty Pedro. Her military rank is nominally one rank lower than that of Commander Cao, but her status as a pure-blood nobleman is stronger than that of Commander Cao. Moreover, this little girl's skin is still the title of the earl, which is one level higher than the title of the viscount of the head of Cao, and it is still hereditary.
Commander Cao's military rank is one level higher, but in fact, it has no effect at all. Because of the special nature of the plundering group, the relationship between Captain Cao and Gale is actually very vague, and Gale only needs to be responsible for the royal family, not Captain Cao. The head of the Cao regiment hugged the mountain high emperor far away, and listened to the tune and did not listen to the Xuan's thoughts, and the storage of the Gaier was the specific person in charge of supervising him in accordance with the rules and regulations. If this little girl's skin is not handled well, Captain Cao will be in big trouble in the future.
Gail is now a hot potato in the eyes of Captain Cao. It's not to keep it in your own hands, it's not to throw her away, and there's no clue about how to deal with it at all. Hold it yourself, it's hot. Throw it back to Pedro Majesty, that is almost Captain Cao pointed at Pedro Majesty's nose and told him that he had a different heart, and Pedro Majesty would definitely take more headaches for Captain Cao to sanction Captain Cao. Pedro's methods, Captain Cao has not seen before, about his countless checks and balances. Head Cao knows a lot.
To tell the truth, Captain Cao would rather offend someone like Stern a hundred times than offend someone like Pedro once. In terms of level, there is a world of difference between the two.
"Old ...... Old man. So what should I do?" Before Old Man Ao could speak, Gail himself was the first to speak. She didn't even bother to see what Captain Cao's face was, she also understood after the past few days that Captain Cao obeyed Old Man Ao's words. It is necessary to solve the current embarrassing situation. It is most appropriate to get an answer from the mouth of Old Man Ao.
As for the gray return to Sri Lanka, Gale never thought of it. Even though she seems to be an academic graceful and weak woman on the surface, she is actually unusually stubborn and true in her bones. Since you have accepted the task, you must use all means to complete the task. From the bottom of his heart, Gale still has a feeling of unwillingness, and reluctance to leave this place.
He was unwilling to leave here because before Gale came here, it can be said that he had done enough homework to understand the raiding group. Coincidentally, all she learned was the legendary side of the raiders. Even Gail herself couldn't remember when, but she had already thought of the raiders as a place to write legends. When he was suddenly summoned by Pedro by name, and then canonized as the deputy of the raiding group, Gale almost screamed with excitement. Although the family behind Gale did not want her to leave the warm swaddling clothes of the family and come to this desolate and barren place, Gale still resolutely set off. She firmly believes that she too can be a part of this legendary team.
"Behind every successful man, there is an unknown woman, and behind every unsuccessful man, there are two twittering women. Seeing these two women singing and I appeared on the stage, the two mouths rang non-stop like machine guns, and the struggle for power and profit did not stop, Captain Cao looked melancholy, and silently attributed his unsuccess to the two of them.
Of course, Head Cao was just secretly thinking about it in his stomach, and he was not stupid enough to say these words. Now that the old man has come to the fore, it is natural for the head of the Cao regiment to feel that this qiē does not care about his own business, and he just listens to the old man's arrangement. With the old man's all-encompassing personality, Head Cao felt that these problems were not difficult for him at all.
"Dear Miss Gale, of course I dare not forget you. As the deputy of the raiding regiment appointed by His Majesty Pedro, I have every reason to believe that you must have the qualities that make you unique, and you must be qualified for this job. Old man Ao smiled, and did not skimp on his appreciation. However, immediately after, the old man's tone also changed abruptly, and he said, "However, we don't really know you yet. I don't think it's better to tell us what you're good at, and it will help us to assign specific work to you, what do you say?"
Old man Ao really played this trick well, he seemed to be helping Gale rehabilitate, but after tasting it carefully, he didn't say anything for Gail, but threw the problem to Gale. Let a person nominate themselves. It doesn't sound difficult, but in connection with the current scene, Gale is not so easy to express himself.
Captain Cao, a person whose face is so thick that he can make the city wall ashamed may not find this difficult, this bastard can completely exaggerate the advantages of his body countless times for several hours in a row, and finally arrogantly throw out a sentence like "Lao Tzu's biggest shortcoming in this life is that there are too many advantages" to disgust people.
What about Gail, a girl who had just graduated from the academy, was not only a good boy who was well-informed, but also a man who was well versed in aristocratic etiquette. If she wanted to pour out the good things about herself in front of these people, her face had not yet reached that thickness, and after snorting for a long time, Gail's face was almost red. I was stunned and didn't hold back half a word.
Head Cao secretly found that he felt that the appearance of this little snow leopard beauty was still very cute. Looking at her flashing eyes and trembling eyelashes, Head Cao suddenly felt that his attitude towards her seemed to be a little too much. After all, others are just a little girl, but it is not easy for her to exclude others like this. Old Man Ao hadn't spoken yet, but it was Head Cao himself who softened his heart first.
Those who are familiar with Captain Cao know that when this big back is more serious, it often makes people feel that he is hard-hearted. But once he relented, he was softer than cotton. This is a person with a polarized personality who has been going to extremes all his life.
"I'm ......," Gail finally took a long breath. After sorting out his thoughts, he said, "My family has many industries in the empire, and I think I still have a little ability in business. ”
Gail's words were a bit of a bull's head and a horse's mouth. People who know how to do business. In this backwood, in such a bandit team, a little flair for business doesn't seem to make any sense. Old Man Ao thought so, but Head Cao's heart moved slightly.
"Forget it. Don't say that the head of this regiment can't get along with you as a little girl. Since you have said so, then the head of this group will sincerely give you a chance. I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself, and you start now. First as the logistics director of our raiding group, I seconded Lohan to you as a deputy, I hope you will live up to our expectations. Head Cao stretched out his slender fingers and tapped lightly on the table, saying with a rare pleasant face.
Seeing Gale open his mouth to speak, Head Cao raised his index finger and made a gesture of silence. With a stern face, he said: "This is my bottom limit, and your opportunities only stop here." If you can prove yourself in this position, then I will recognize your status as a regimental deputy. I'm a person with clear rewards and punishments, and if you want to have a say in this team, you have to fight for it yourself. If you have any comments, please keep them. ”
Old Man Ao raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say anything, he could guess the arrangement of Head Cao. Gail himself said just now that her family has many industries in the Beamon Empire, even if Old Man Ao does not know some of the current figures of the Beamon Empire, but it can also be analyzed from Gail's words that the family behind her is definitely not simple, and it is even very likely that it is a family with huge influence within the Beamon Empire.
Thinking about it this way, Old Man Ao also knew what Head Cao had in mind. Captain Cao has always wondered why His Majesty Pedro would send such a person who doesn't seem to be the slightest threat to the plundering group to be the deputy of the group, her kind of character, it is absolutely impossible to get the head of Cao, let alone check and balance the power of the head of Cao, and she doesn't even have the ability to influence the head of Cao's decision-making.
Now in connection with what Gail said, both Head Cao and Old Man Ao have a feeling, Head Cao feels a little ashamed, while Old Man Ao is a little annoyed, because his thinking is strict and has been led astray by Head Cao. His Majesty Pedro sent Gale here, which seemed almost like a meaningful move now, and Pedro Pedro had not even thought of taking control of the raiding group. The raiding group has been a bit famous recently, and it is not false that it is doing a prosperous job, but if it is said that this will cause Pedro to worry, it is undoubtedly underestimating Pedro's majesty.
If a rare Ming monarch like him in a hundred years doesn't even trust the raiding leader he canonized, and he wants to suppress it if he sees a little trend, what is the difference between him and Stern?
Head Cao regretted it a little, he was a little bit of a villain during this time. When leaving the imperial city, His Majesty Pedro said to Captain Cao that no matter what Captain Cao wanted to do with his own people, as long as he did not embarrass the royal family, he would never interfere sideways, which can be regarded as a promise from His Majesty Pedro. It's a pity that Head Cao took this as the wind in his ears, and he heard it.
Looking back now, Pedro didn't have the slightest motive to suppress Captain Cao. Even if the raiding group is famous, with the heart of Pedro Xià and Raul, the second boss of the Cao group, Pedro will only support and help the head of Cao.
If Gale came to help Captain Cao, and Captain Cao excluded her like this, it would be completely adding chaos to himself. Maybe Gail didn't understand why Pedro chose her to come to this place by name, this is also the genius of Pedro's Xià, never do things too transparently, leave a little space, and retain the last veil of mystery, this thing will be more interesting!
A young lady with a huge industrial family within the Beamon Empire was pushed to the side of Captain Cao by His Majesty Pedro, what is it that Pedro is not helping Captain Cao to operate? The family behind her is a generous gift from Pedro to Captain Cao, if Captain Cao can have a good relationship with Gael, the pearl of the family, then will they not be used by Captain Cao? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they just lend a helping hand at some point, they can make Captain Cao inexhaustible.
This work of paving the road and building bridges, Pedro Poked the big seal, and quietly helped Captain Cao to do it. As a result, Captain Cao was good, and he was embarrassed, and almost buried this great strategic resource! (To be continued......
