Chapter 33: The First Experience of Military Meetings
What does it mean to be on a steady journey? Commander Cao's shameless performance today has become a mixed bag. Could it be a simple meeting that Catherine was going to attend in a hurry? This meeting was a very large military meeting attended by hundreds of people, and it was personally presided over by Lord Heinrich, the head of the Southern Expedition appointed by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and all those who participated in the meeting and above were present. In nature, this military meeting can be seen as a mobilization meeting of the management before the Southern Expedition.
After knowing this, Regiment Leader Cao gritted his teeth even more secretly, he, the leader of the plundering regiment, said that it was also the level of the regiment commander, but no one informed him of these things at all. If it weren't for Catherine, Captain Cao would undoubtedly miss this mobilization meeting, really to start the big project of the Southern Expedition, Commander Cao must not be like a headless fly?
When people are in an unhappy mood and have preconceived ideas, it is easy to become unhappy when they look at anything, and the current head of Cao is like this. By the time of the full half of the incense in the chamber, the so-called mobilization meeting had not yet begun. There were quite a lot of people, with a total of nearly two hundred people, but they were solemn, in the eyes of Chief Cao, it was simply the best portrayal of lifelessness, which was more like a memorial service. Such a large group of people, all of them staring intently, sitting in a precarious position, actually made this meeting hall silent, and it really made Captain Cao feel incredible. Head Cao felt that this was not good, so he wanted to adjust the atmosphere.
If it is objectively said that the first military meeting attended by Regiment Commander Cao, he completely belonged to the superfluous category of people. His rank is the lowest among all the people here, and he can grab a few regimental commanders here at any time. Needless to say, the official resume in the Imperial military is also the shallower. To put it bluntly, a person like him should have no right to speak, at most he comes to make up a few deals. Correspondingly, the obligations of the head of the regiment Cao are naturally relatively few, no matter who he sees, he will slap his head and shout that the chief is good. But this thing has restless genes. He would never take himself personally.
Catherine found her position, and her position was on the left hand side of the main seat, which was still vacant, which completely showed that Catherine's position in this southern expedition was also very lofty. As soon as Catherine sat down, she calmly entered the state of looking at her nose and nose, and like other people, Catherine was very adaptable to this oppressive environment, and had her own set of coping methods.
"Excuse me, please get up and move back. Captain Cao also patted the shoulder of a handsome man with fiery red hair who was sitting at Catherine's subordinate position, and politely made a gesture of please. The handsome guy who sat in Catherine's position also had a fiery red tail. Apparently from the Fox Clan.
The three of Scarlett, who had been following behind Captain Cao's buttocks, were already a little speechless and held their foreheads, not daring to look at that picture at all. Even if they knew that Cao was a brazen guy, they didn't expect that this thing would be so shameless, how could there be such disrespect.
"May I ask who you are?" The handsome guy who was found by Head Cao on Fox looked suspicious, almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Captain Cao with a polite smile in confusion, but he didn't get angry.
Judging from the face of this handsome Fox guy, he should be a relatively pampered aristocrat, probably in his thirties. He has a pleasing face, and there is a bit of wisdom in his eyes.
Captain Cao had already comprehended the essence of silence over sound, but he just drifted his meaningful gaze to Catherine, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, and at the same time, he did not forget to take care of the six golden hero badges on his chest. finally showed a "everyone understands" expression, and immediately confused this innocent Fox handsome guy.
It is obvious that this handsome Fox guy is not the only one who has been fooled by Captain Cao's demeanor, and Captain Cao wants to sit in the position of this handsome Fox guy, which means that the seats in the entire conference room will change because of his nobody's intervention. The handsome Fox guy glanced at Catherine with obvious hesitation. In the end, he stood up honestly. The reason is only because Catherine never opened her eyes from beginning to end, which seems to be a tacit approval of Captain Cao's nonsense. Only Scarlett, who was as careful as dust, vaguely noticed a detail, that is, Catherine's shoulders trembled slightly.
Could Catherine know that Captain Cao was so shameless? Of course she couldn't have known. She is not the roundworm in Captain Cao's stomach. But Captain Cao's way of doing things made Catherine very embarrassed and passive, and she couldn't say anything at this time, so she chose this embarrassing silence. Captain Cao followed her in, and if she wants to say that it has nothing to do with her, everyone can see it. Captain Cao's push of the boat caused everyone to feel that he was a celebrity in front of Catherine.
The handsome guy on Fox came together, which directly caused all the people in the row of people in his hand to stand up and move to the back, and there was a little commotion in the quiet venue, and ninety-nine percent of the people were guessing the identity of Head Cao at the moment. This thing, the unseen gold uniform of a local tyrant, as well as the six golden hero badges, and even the inexplicable relationship with Catherine, the permanent director of the Ministry of Military Affairs, are worth exploring for many people. They didn't think that Captain Cao's move was too outrageous, after all, the entire power faction of the Beamon Empire was also very complicated, and Catherine's face was big enough for them to hold all this in their stomachs to taste, and no one expressed it directly.
"By the way, I haven't asked Your Excellency for your name......" After the handsome Fox guy sat down, Hengzhi felt that something was wrong, and lowered his voice to communicate with Head Cao.
"Yes, yes, you see, we rough people have forgotten to ask for your identity. Captain Cao smiled innocently, but he didn't mean to answer at all, but returned the question of the handsome Fox guy as it was.
"I'm Steve Cole, and I'm the chief tactical planner for this expedition. The handsome guy Fox hurriedly introduced himself, and the corner of his eye also glanced at Catherine from time to time, as if he had found a clue from Catherine's body. This handsome Fox guy named Cole is also a thoughtful lord, and he even thinks that Captain Cao is the concubine of Duke Catherine......
It's not impossible. Even though Catherine's external image has always been unmarried, Catherine also has some rumors with many powerful high-ranking people in the empire. No one can confirm the truth of these rumors, but anyone with a certain degree of political consciousness prefers to believe them. Catherine was already one of several permanent directors of the Ministry of Military Affairs at a young age, with a high position of authority, and she always gave people the impression that she was on the left and right, and it was hard not to misunderstand her way of communicating.
As for Captain Cao...... This product is dressed in a straight uniform, and with that set of royal gifts, it is quite good-looking. After all, he is also a person who leads troops to fight, and he has more or less a trace of iron-blooded tough guy on his body, and this kind of man is also quite attractive, if Duke Catherine, who has never had a partner, is interested in this kind of heroic tough guy, it is also very reasonable.
"Oh, it's Mistress Cole, I've heard Mistress Catherine talk about you a lot. Head Cao bowed his head slightly, and the same trick came again, and he looked at Catherine with her eyes closed with a smile on her face, and even the title of Catherine was a little unreasonable tenderness, which led everyone's thinking in the wrong direction more and more.
If anyone squatted under the table of the huge round table in the council chamber now, he would find that the beautiful and touching Duke Catherine's jade hands on his knees had been clenched, and the green tendons on the back of his hands had emerged.
"It's not too early, let's get ready, Master Heinrich should be there soon. Commander Cao also sat up straight, with an impeccable military demeanor. After all, this product didn't introduce itself.
Under this serious expression, there was a belly of bad intentions, and Cole, a handsome guy, was also slandered by him for a while. Commander Cao felt that the people of the Fox clan were somewhat cunning, and they were staff officers with sharp teeth, and what kind of tactical planners were so professional and refined, but in addition to fooling people, there was no use for fart. According to this kind of exaggeration, Commander Cao felt that the half-orc laborers under his command had to be called professional brick movers, and those rat people had to be called professional diggers.
The goddess of fate seems to have been poured ecstasy soup by Captain Cao, and has been silently supporting this big back. As soon as Head Cao's voice fell, there was a sound of footsteps in the back hall, and two figures also hurried to arrive. Seeing that everyone present was ready to get up to greet him, the burly man pressed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." ”
This burly man has long blond hair and a majestic and solemn face, and at first glance he is a decisive hero. The iconic garlic nose and bell-like volume were very much in line with his Rhine identity. The man beside him was even more burly, at first glance a member of the Pier tribe, and judging by his epaulettes, it was obvious that he was the lord of the main city of Memphis, Dave Jogle.
As soon as these two main masters arrived, their majestic aura also followed, and Captain Cao could feel it immediately, and the atmosphere in the entire conference hall was much more serious and solemn...... (To be continued......)
