As soon as Commander Cao said this, Catherine was dumbfounded, and the three golden flowers of the raiding group were instantly petrified. If it is said that Commander Cao refused to participate in the Southern Expedition because he was worried that the plundering group would suffer losses because of the Southern Expedition, then everyone could have figured it out. Taking a step back, even if it is said that Commander Cao has his own plans and arrangements, and does not want to travel thousands of miles to participate in the Southern Expedition, everyone can understand this.

However, Commander Cao found a reason because Leonardo was going to preside over the southern expedition, so he did not participate. What the is the reason for this? Leonardo was in charge of the Southern Expedition not once or twice, but many times. Whether in terms of seniority or personal prestige, Leonardo was the first choice for the Southern Expedition, is there anything wrong with him being in charge of the Southern Expedition? In the entire Beamon Empire, I don't know how many people want to fight side by side with Leonardo in the hope of the stars and the moon.

"Yes, you heard me right. If Leonardo goes, I, Cao, won't go, and it doesn't make sense anyway. As if he was still worried that they wouldn't understand, Head Cao thought about it and added.

Scarlett, who was next to Captain Cao, couldn't wait to open this big back with a kitchen knife, and she seriously suspected that this big back head couldn't get along with her. Walking with Leonardo is simply a good thing to put on display, and it is equivalent to a good thing to add glory to your own honor book. Leonardo's experience in the southern expedition has been several times, and every time he leads the southern expedition, he has returned triumphantly, and he has never been defeated against the southern barbarians. Even if you are an idiot, you should understand how rare this opportunity is, but Captain Cao directly pushed down such a good thing. Unlike others, Head Cao is still a talent recommended by Leonardo personally writing a letter of recommendation, which gives him enough face in any aspect. The lord of the Fox clan and the head of the Sacrifice and Guard of the Six Imperial Ministries. Is it necessary to give face to a person like Commander Cao? Commander Cao is still unwilling, that is, he does not know how to lift.

"To be honest, I really don't understand what this relationship between the two of you is going on...... Didn't Master Leonardo tell you before?" Catherine held her head with a headache, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. Commander Cao is also a talent, and in the entire Beamon Empire, there will definitely be no more than two fingers of people who can make Catherine show this appearance. And he did it the first time they met.

"You bastard, you don't want the opportunity to fight side by side with an imperial hero like Leonardo? You selfish guy, such a good opportunity, where can you go to find a second time?" Scarlett's hands were raised, if it weren't for Gail and Luo Han's eyes and hands were about to stop, it is estimated that Scarlett would have knocked on Captain Cao's big back.

"Women! Sure enough, they are all beings with long hair and short knowledge. What kind of organization is our plundering regiment? It is a regular militarized organization that strives for lofty goals! What is unusual is that it is precisely because there are many things that ordinary people cannot do that they fall on the heads of our raiding regiments. Therefore, we must be accurate in our own positioning. Do what others can't. Tasks like this, which have no difficulty or suspense, do not match our positioning. Captain Cao didn't even reply, and he had already given a seemingly impeccable statement.

Scarlett almost didn't go crazy by him, it's a shame that this guy can talk about robbery so much. It's not easy to do what ordinary people can't do, and to do what others can't? Wouldn't it be easy to take the mallets of the plundering group and go directly to the human world to stir up the world? This is something that ordinary people can't do.

Gail and Luo Han are also the second monk who is confused, and the reason for this is the head of Cao. Very unconvincing. What they don't understand is a man's heart. Like a sullen person like Captain Cao. Of course, it doesn't mean that he can't work with Leonardo, but it's not a cooperation. If you count it, Captain Cao will have to listen to Leonardo at that time, this is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, not cooperation. And Captain Cao is a guy who doesn't like to be controlled by others. In addition, this guy has always been secretly comparing with Leonardo. This kind of thing is even more difficult for him to accept. It's just that these personal psychological activities, Captain Cao will not blatantly put them on the table. The opportunity of the Southern Expedition is indeed very good, and if you want to mix up your reputation and get ahead, there is definitely no better time than the Southern Expedition. To say that Captain Cao has no ideas is a lie.

"Maybe I didn't make it clear. I'll explain it to you again. Catherine let out a long sigh after a long time, looked at Commander Cao helplessly, and said: "Our military department has ceremoniously invited Lord Leonardo to lead this southern expedition, but because of some temporary problems, Lord Leonardo cannot lead us to the southern expedition this time." Everyone knows that when it comes to the Southern Expedition, no one has more say than Lord Leonardo, and his inability to attend this Southern Expedition is a loss to our entire empire. It is precisely because of this that Master Leonardo also made a special trip to our Military Affairs Department to write a letter of recommendation, specifically recommending you, Commander Cao, and saying that our Military Affairs Department can issue an invitation to you. ”

Catherine felt like she had never been more tired than this exchange, which really made Catherine feel like she was communicating with a hillbilly through and through. If it were replaced by those noble families of the Beamon Empire, they didn't know how happy they would be when they saw Catherine visiting at this time. In order to send the noble children of his family to be gilded, it is estimated that many people took the initiative to give Catherine some benefits. What is Catherine's identity? She is one of the several directors of the dignified Military Affairs Department, and ordinary people can't even think about it, but Commander Cao doesn't give him any face.

Catherine also has a grudge in her heart now, except that this big back has managed this mud snail secluded land well, Catherine has not found anything special. The reason why Catherine made a special trip was completely out of curiosity about the character of Captain Cao, to see what kind of person he was, and it was worth Leonardo to write a letter of recommendation. Catherine thought it was a very simple errand, and she should go out for a walk, but she ran into a wall again and again.

"What? Leonardo won't participate in the Southern Expedition?" Commander Cao and the three golden flowers of the raiding regiment exclaimed in unison, and Catherine's statement was also directly beyond their expectations. Since Leonardo's rise like a comet, almost every southern expedition of the Beamon Empire has been directly responsible for Leonardo.

Even if Captain Cao secretly had the mind of comparison, he also felt that there was no doubt that Leonardo would preside over the Southern Expedition. Talent like Leonardo. You just need to give him the corresponding power, and he can bring another grand victory to the empire, another triumph, why not let him go?

"Yes, although it's a pity. But Lord Leonardo has made it clear that he will not preside over this southern expedition. This time, the person in charge of the southern expedition was Lord Heinrich of the Rhine tribe. Catherine nodded, giving a clear answer.

"Heinrich, why is this name so familiar? What kind of character is this? What qualifications do you have to preside over this southern expedition?"

"Lord Heinrich is the brother of the Archduke Heinsohn, Minister of Finance of the Reich, and has been in a key position in the Ministry of War for many years. He will preside over the southern expedition, and as long as nothing happens, the southern expedition will also end successfully. Catherine was silent for a moment before she spoke.

Head Cao suddenly scolded in his heart again. Is it the Rhine's brother again? What the hell is this? The feud between Commander Cao and Heinsohn is almost known to passers-by in Sri Lanka, and Commander Cao and the entire Rinse can't pee in the same pot. If the Rhine people were in charge of the Southern Expedition, who could guarantee that he would not put on small shoes for Commander Cao? If Commander Cao of the Southern Expedition presided over by Leonardo did not want to go, then there was no need for Commander Cao to go to the Southern Expedition that the Hindran people were responsible for. Captain Cao thought so, and so did the three golden flowers of the raiding group.

Scarlett was honest in an instant, she was so excited just now. It's also just because I heard Leonardo's name. Now that Leonardo is gone, Scarlett suddenly feels that she has lost her goal. It doesn't matter if I go or not, but fortunately, I sat down leisurely and went to rest, which was faster than turning a book.

After the upset, Head Cao also fell into a long silence. Heinsohn's younger brother was in charge of the southern expedition, so I don't know how chaotic the relationship between the parties in this southern expedition was. As the head of the southern expedition, it should be said that Heinrich did not seek any welfare for the people of the Rhine. Captain Cao won't believe it. What's more, Commander Cao didn't think that this Heinrich could make so many forces in the Ministry of Military Affairs buy it, and the Ministry of Military Affairs was not opened by the Rhine.

The reason why the Ministry of Military Affairs has never had a definite position is because the composition structure of the Ministry of Military Affairs is too cumbersome. In addition to the Tiger Tiger and the Rhine Lion, the Wolf Werewolf is also very important in the Military Department. Almost all of the Bil bear people who live in the southern part of the empire. It is also a powerful force that cannot be ignored. Scarlett has told Captain Cao about these questions, so Captain Cao is still very impressed.

Before Leonardo presided over the Southern Expedition, everyone was still more face-saving, that was because Leonardo's identity did not belong to these camps, and it was impossible to be biased towards either side. As we all know, Leonardo's position never goes to one side or the other. So he is responsible, then everyone can accept it, and work together under his command. And once this rule is broken, it's hard to say whether everyone will put their strength in one place like before.

"What about His Majesty Pedro? doesn't he have any opinion on this decision?" Captain Cao suddenly asked in a ghostly manner, and after thinking about it carefully, the one who has the most opinions on this arrangement should be the Tiger clan headed by His Majesty Pedro. Seeing that the people of the Henin tribe took the opportunity of this southern expedition to vigorously develop their own forces, the Tiger tribe would definitely not allow it.

"Head Cao, there is no comment on this. Each department of the empire, each power structure, has its own clear division of labor, and everyone can do their part to ensure that everything is safe. What other people think has little to do with us, and what His Majesty Pedro thinks, I don't know either. Catherine didn't know if she was taken by the people of the raiding group, and rolled her eyes, if it wasn't for the politeness she should have maintained to the end, Catherine would have wanted to find a reason to go home directly.

Head Cao thought about it, and also felt that his words were biased. Even if you want to ask such a sensitive question, you should never ask Catherine. After all, she is a hybrid of the Lion and Tiger clan, and in addition to the genes of the Tiger race, she also has the blood of the Rhine tribe flowing in her body. The particularity of the Catherine family doomed her to not be able to provide much useful information to Captain Cao in this regard, and it was inappropriate for her to favor the Tiger or the Rhine.

"In that case, I might as well go and have fun, it's not a bad thing, I like to play with the Rhines the most. Head Cao suddenly shrugged his shoulders, with a smile on his face, and finally agreed to participate in the southern expedition.

And what about Catherine? The director of the Ministry of Military Affairs could no longer tell whether he was happy or unhappy, and although Commander Cao finally agreed to participate in the Southern Expedition after twisting for so long, Catherine could not find any sense of accomplishment. Originally, she came here not to deceive the raiding group to go to the south, and her identity was completely unnecessary. Moreover, the plundering group is only 500 people, even if it convinces Commander Cao, this is not a very rewarding thing.

Captain Cao's words also made Catherine a little speechless. This is the southern expedition of the Empire, not a game of playing with the Rhine? A donkey man of the Ace tribe, with a few hundred people, really takes himself seriously? And he still wants to play with the Rhine? Catherine felt that this big back was really not ordinary arrogance.

"Captain Cao, the Southern Expedition is not child's play, I hope you don't feel that this is who wants to force you to do something. At that time, there will also be troops from the Ministry of Supervision who will be pushed to the front with the army. Some of your irrational actions are likely to cause you a lot of trouble for yourself. You're a smart person, and I'm sure you can understand even if I don't warn you. Catherine reminded anyway with kindness.

The Ministry of Supervision, this is the authority of the Rhine, Catherine is willing to bring up this matter alone, it is already very face-saving to Captain Cao...... (To be continued......)
