Chapter 133: Chess Meets Opponents

Holding that warm little hand, Head Cao was in a trance, and there was only one feeling in his heart that this woman's identity was simply too arrogant. Not to mention the half-breed, it is still a half-breed of the two great feuds of the lion and tiger clan, and it is still mutated, which clearly explains why this woman's followers are so special. Just this kind of pomp and circumstance of others has already made countless people dare not imagine. What's even more terrifying is that this woman's weight is indeed too heavy, so heavy that Captain Cao feels that he can't bear it anymore.

Although the contact with the Ministry of Military Affairs is not very deep, Commander Cao still has a certain understanding of this giant department that is the most important in the six departments of Bimeng. Because of the very special nature of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the power structure of this department is also different from that of the other five ministries. Although there is also a leading boss, the Minister of Military Affairs, his power is not concentrated, but every decision is made in the form of a council meeting. Therefore, several directors of the Ministry of Military Affairs are powerful figures. Catherine is one of the permanent directors of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the official position of Commander Cao, the head of the plundering regiment, is too lowly to carry shoes to others.

When it comes to the titles of nobles, the viscount of Commander Cao is also 108,000 miles away from others, who are first-class dukes of the dignified empire. Looking at Catherine's current age of only her early thirties and having already mixed up with such a high title, you can conclude that others were born into wealthy families, and it is very likely that they are hereditary nobles, and belong to the category of people born with a golden spoon. And Captain Cao is a representative figure of the mud legs that his father doesn't love and his mother doesn't love, and if he works hard all his life, he may not be able to become an earl.

This is not an exaggeration, in the history of the Beamon Empire, there has never been a "commoner count". The so-called "commoner counts" are also very simple, that is, those who are born commoners, such as the Boers. The orc races of the Pigs and the Ace are all born ordinary races, and they are coolie races at first glance. Born in these civilian races, the best mixed is just a viscount. There's just a line between the two. However, these Bimon civilian races cannot be crossed throughout their lives, which is a typical racial discrimination. In the eyes of people like Commander Cao, who advocate racial equality, this is the sorrow of the nation and even the sorrow of the times. Just the bloodline determines whether a person is noble or not, which has long been recognized as a wrong idea in the hometown of Commander Cao. However, Commander Cao also knew that it would be impossible to achieve the goal of these things by himself alone, and the difficulty would definitely not be much weaker than that of the anti-slave trade.

At this stage, Head Cao, even if he is no longer satisfied with this status quo. It is absolutely impossible to openly protest, let alone put it on the table. Because the most serious racial discrimination is not the sworn enemy of Captain Cao, but the "great" Beamon Empire. To fight against racial discrimination, Head Cao will be defined as a heresy by the whole country as soon as possible. At that time, it is estimated that it will not only be Stern alone who will not be able to get along with Captain Cao, but even the interests of His Majesty Pedro will be infringed upon by Captain Cao, and it is easy to imagine whether the wise Majesty Pedro will have the same attitude as he does now.

"Hats off to you. Your Excellency Duke Catherine, Captain Cao leaned over and put Catherine's jade hand in front of him and gave an elegant kiss to the hand, and his demeanor was surprisingly elegant. Even if it's a very old-fashioned aristocracy. I can't fault it in the slightest, it's a standard posture that's more textbook than a textbook.

Among so many aristocratic etiquette, what Captain Cao is best at is the kiss ceremony, which is too easy to understand, and it is not just for the current situation to meet a powerful and beautiful woman. As soon as you meet, you can take advantage of it.

I always felt that Catherine's surname was special, but it felt a little familiar. Head Cao thought about it for a long time before he thought of the things about the Beamon family that he had studied in Sri Lanka before. Catherine Zeta-Jones. Zeta-Jones is not a surname, but a special compound surname. The Zeta family was once a wealthy family of the Beamon Tiger family, and the Jones family was a wealthy family of the Beamon Rhine family. Back then, before the Tiger seized power. The relationship between these two families was surprisingly good, and despite the conflict between the two camps, they made a sensational marriage of wealthy families.

This kind of thing, even now, will also shake the empire. If it's an ordinary interracial marriage, it's just that, after all, no one can stop love when it comes. As long as it is carried out quietly and in a low-key manner, it will not cause much impact on public opinion. If you are more resolute, young men and women will hold hands and have a heart-wrenching elopement, and this will be done.

The nature of the marriage between the two royal races, the Rhine and the Tiger, is completely different. First of all, these two races are known as the strongest races in Bimon, and secondly, and more importantly, the relationship between these two royal races has never been monolithic. It's definitely very tough to get the respective camps to agree. The Zeta and Jones families did just that, and they ended up marrying between the two families on a large scale.

As a result, the family was rejected by both camps and did not want to be with them. For a time, these two families were considered heretics throughout the empire, and remained unknown in history for a long time. Among the ancient books that Captain Cao read, there are very few records about them, as if they have been forgotten by the world, which is why Captain Cao did not think of them at the first time.

It turns out that these two families have not disappeared, the old families must have their advantages, they have not only gone through the most difficult period, but even now they still exist in the Beamon Empire, becoming the Zeta-Jones family. Head Cao could only express his admiration in his heart for these people who dared to resist the fixed rules, and at the same time, he inevitably had some doubts. For example, why is this person from the Zeta-Jones family still holding such an important position in the military department of the empire?

It's a pity that Captain Cao didn't dare to ask this question blatantly, so he could only guess in his stomach. In the end, the head of the regiment believed that the family had been forgiven by both camps for some reason. Even if there has always been a grudge between these two camps, this does not prevent them from always being in a cooperative relationship.

For such a sensitive authority as the Ministry of Military Affairs, whether it is controlled by people from the Tiger or the Rhine, it is an extremely unfavorable situation for the other party. If the two sides take a step back and push Zeta-Jones, a member of the two-in-one heterogeneous family, into this position, it may be easier for both camps to accept.

Graciously invited Duke Catherine to the council chamber. Head Cao also took the rare initiative to sit in the next position. As for Catherine's entourage, they were dragged by the Nine Monsters of the Raiding Regiment to talk to them about their life ideals for a legitimate reason. There were only five people in the huge council room. Captain Cao and the three golden flowers of the raiding group, as well as Catherine.

"Well, now there are no outsiders here. We're not the kind of people who like to beat around the bush, Duke Catherine, please. What advice do you have for a big man like you to come to our mud snail land? But before Catherine could heat up the cushion, Captain Cao lit a cigar as soon as he came up, and went straight into it with a big grin.

Commander Cao's extremely aggressive eyes were not concealed in the slightest, and even the three golden flowers of the raiding group could directly feel that this big vest was definitely not thinking about anything related to gentleness and politeness. If this big man in the Ministry of Military Affairs didn't come up with a convincing reason for Commander Cao, they would definitely not doubt that this big back would directly turn his face and show his rogue appearance.

"Boss, you ......" After all, Gail and Catherine have an old relationship, as soon as he saw Captain Cao come up, he put on this posture, and Gail was very embarrassed and wanted to stand up and play a round. After staying in the raiding group for a long time, Gale is well aware of the methods used by Captain Cao in negotiations. If you want Head Cao to be reasonable, it is a fool's dream. It's all about the usual moments, but this time the object is not the same as usual. Gail knew too well about the huge forces behind Catherine, and wanted to stop Captain Cao's irrational actions at the first time.

"Adults talk, children don't interject. You also call her Auntie, the generations are different, you flash first. Before Gail could finish his words, Captain Cao waved his hand rudely. interrupted her next sentence. Captain Cao's wolf-like eyes also stared at Catherine. Normal woman. Under his eyes, he will definitely not last three seconds, and he will be uncomfortable.

However, Catherine's calmness was beyond imagination, she sat comfortably on the top seat, stared at Captain Cao fixedly, and smiled, not at all uncomfortable. A Michelin-starred chef who came in to serve tea passed between the two men and almost didn't sit on the floor. He felt as if he had been caught between fire and ice and made a sandwich.

Catherine elegantly took a sip of fragrant milk tea, and then replied unhurriedly: "What did Regiment Commander Cao say? I was just dispatched by the Ministry of Military Affairs to invite Commander Cao to participate in the upcoming Southern Expedition launched by the Ministry of Military Affairs. I believe this point should be clearly written in the letter of the Ministry of Military Affairs, right?"

"I didn't see any of these things, maybe you're mistaken. Head Cao shrugged. Two large smoke rings erupted from his mouth, and he looked cynical. Those who are familiar with him know that this bastard is talking nonsense with his eyes open again, and if he wants to repay his debts, it is generally this kind of virtue, and even beating around the bush is saved.

Sure enough, as rumored by the outside world, Head Cao is a very humorous person. Catherine only smiled lightly, and bounced back Captain Cao's words with a very simple sentence. Before Head Cao could make a statement, Catherine continued: "Head Cao, you are also a sensible person, and it is said that you are still a scholar and scholar, so it is absolutely impossible not to understand this kind of concise and concise official letter. This letter happened to be written by me personally, isn't Captain Cao looking for me to be happy?"

As soon as they heard this, the three golden flowers of the raiding group instantly felt a burst of admiration. The big guy deserves to be the big guy, look at the other people's speaking skills. As soon as I came up, I first held you Master Cao to the sky and described him as a literati. After counting, what Commander Cao can have to do with the literati is just the wild and uninhibited thing when he once enjoyed the snow at the hero's night banquet. More often than not, this big back is synonymous with the three vulgarities, and Catherine can be regarded as giving him enough face. Then pointed out that this letter was written by her own hand, and you Cao someone can still cheat and not admit it in such a situation, and the cheekiness is inevitably too thick. The three golden flowers have always thought that even if Cao is thick-skinned, he is definitely embarrassed to be cheeky at this moment. Someone else, Catherine, seemed to be telling a matter of course, and the words were so soft that you couldn't help but give her face.

But after all, Captain Cao is Captain Cao, and he is not a character who is so easy to be bypassed. As soon as he saw that it was not good to play a scoundrel, this thief smiled, rubbed his hands, and said, "I can't hide it, Xia Guan just returned to the camp last night." Recently, I have been entangled in mundane matters, and I haven't had time to read the letter from the Ministry of Military Affairs in detail, but it has made the adults laugh! As for the words of the literati and scholars, don't say it, the lower official is just a rough man, and he doesn't know a few characters......

The three golden flowers of the raiding group rolled their eyes in unison, and they were speechless for the cheekiness of this big back. This thing is easy to lie, and even his face will not change. For the second half of his sentence, the three golden flowers don't think it's exaggerated, but anyone who has seen the picture of this big back carrying the door panel knife on the battlefield will definitely think that this guy is a pure rough man, and his beast nature is boiling. It was very difficult to convince people that he was a good priest, and it was even more unrealistic to associate him with those who were powerless to do so.

"I don't know how to read and I don't care, don't you see that I'm still making a special trip to take this trip? I'm afraid that you, Regiment Commander Cao, will be entangled in official business and have no time to take care of the letters from our Military Affairs Department, and the adults in the Military Affairs Department attach great importance to you, Commander Cao!" Catherine did not change her face, and showed a strange smile to Commander Cao that was different from just now.

In an instant, Captain Cao felt that his toes were clenched. This woman is really a master, how to say it, for the first time in his life, Chief Cao felt that it was difficult to compete with it. Other people's words have been said about this, if you prevaricate again, you don't know how to lift. To put it more seriously, it is such a big crime as contempt for the Ministry of Military Affairs. As for the fact that the Ministry of Military Affairs values himself as a person, of course Commander Cao will not take it to heart...... (To be continued......)
