Chapter 126: Asking for help
Head Cao really didn't expect that the development of things would be so dramatic, and the problem that seemed to be quite thorny ended so simply. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Catherine even generously said that during the time she came to the mud snail secluded land, it is estimated that those diplomatic envoys of Rex have already returned to China with a belly full of anger, and His Majesty Pedro will not give an inch on this issue, and it is absolutely impossible to hand over Captain Cao, nor can he ask for guilt. His Majesty may have shown more of the time to be gentle and wise, but he was more courageous than anyone else at critical moments.
"Lord Catherine, why are you so sure that not only will I not be transferred to another place, but will also get more support? I don't think this is too whimsical?" In the end, there was only one question left, to tell the truth from the heart, Captain Cao felt that it was already a great thing for the ancestral grave to be able to get rid of such a big black cauldron without, in such a situation, how could he ask for more? This is unreasonable!
"Captain Cao, have you forgotten something?" Catherine smiled rarely, this expression appeared on her face not at all abrupt, but made her look a different style. Seeing that Commander Cao was still confused, Catherine reminded with a smile: "Didn't I tell you that I brought good news? You shouldn't have forgotten such a big thing as your participation in the Southern Expedition? The Southern Expedition has achieved a decisive victory, and it has also met the expectations of the empire to launch the Southern Expedition, and the Southern Expeditionary Army has already triumphed, and Commander Cao, as a participant in the Southern Expedition, has also made many meritorious contributions in the Southern Expedition. His Majesty Pedro has decided to feast his ministers at the Bernabeu Palace, and then reward all those who participated in the southern expedition. As one of the people who played a decisive role in the Southern Expedition, how could this banquet of meritorious deeds be without you?"
"Oh, I see!" Captain Cao's face suddenly realized, he really almost forgot about this stubble. During the Southern Expedition, Commander Cao always felt that he was thankless, and he didn't get a single fart. In comparison, the military operations at other times made Commander Cao very satisfied, and he made a lot of money every time. In terms of interests, Head Cao feels that it is more meaningful. After a pause, Head Cao also expressed his concerns: "But it shouldn't be that simple, right? On this kind of occasion, there will never be a lack of the participation of Stern's old dog, will the old dog look at me so easily?"
During the southern expedition, Commander Cao had already been excluded, and he was not even able to participate in the spoils distribution conference, all of which were inseparable from Stern. The grudge between Captain Cao and Stern has been going on for a long time, but whenever Stern can intervene to stir up the water, he will never miss it, and Captain Cao certainly doesn't think that he will become easy to talk this time, and he will come out to stir up one million percent. Therefore, Head Cao had not thought about this aspect at all before.
"Stern's Crown......" Catherine coughed dryly, a little uncomfortable with the straightforward title of Captain Cao, and said: "He has his considerations, but Captain Cao, you are not participating in the meritorious deeds as a clergyman this time, so you don't need to worry too much." In principle, His Majesty Stern has the right to make suggestions, but the key depends on the will of the Ministry of War and His Majesty Pedro. As long as His Majesty Pedro wants to give it to you, you don't have to worry about it at all, he has ten thousand ways to get there. ”
Catherine's words have also become more subjective, as long as anyone with a brain can hear it, even Catherine is more inclined to His Majesty Pedro. And this kind of thing should really be handled this way, it is no secret that Stern has always liked to work within the empire, but this kind of thing, as the Pope of the Temple, he is not qualified to question it.
"Great! I can't wait to see that old dog's disgusting look when he eats. There is such an opportunity, do you think I should disgust him to death, or disgust him to death?" Captain Cao rubbed his hands excitedly, and even wished that he would fly to Sri Lanka now to show off, in front of Stern.
"When the time comes, I think you don't have to do anything, you'll be able to get what you deserve. Catherine was noncommittal and had something to say. Catherine, a half-breed of the Lion and Tiger family, has always stood her ground. As a key member of the Ministry of War, her more important position was to put the interests of the empire first.
The Beamon Imperial War Department is the most important and complex of the six Imperial Ministries, and Catherine has served in the Military Department for more than ten years, and has never incurred any criticism for herself. Many matters in the Ministry of Military Affairs are gradually moving towards this woman who looks weak. Whether it is personnel transfer or other aspects, her principles are so firm, and she always insists on being guided by the interests of the empire, and some people even say that the entire Beamon Empire cannot find a more iron-faced and selfless person than Catherine. At the imperial level, there is the support of His Majesty Pedro, and Catherine's statement also shows that the Ministry of War has her full support, even if Stern is unhappy, it will not help, it seems that this time Commander Cao can't say whether he wants to make some benefits.
The time to return to Sri Lanka was set for a few days later, and Head Cao was already ready. So Captain Cao found Monica privately and said frankly that Captain Cao was not willing to have anything to do with the first Yan of the empire. First of all, the other person is a widow, and there is also a golden chastity archway known to the whole country. Secondly, His Majesty Pedro's advice is still echoing in the ears of Commander Cao, this empire is not simple, if you don't have enough skills, don't try to have anything to do with her. In the end, this woman is still Leonardo's dream of a beautiful woman, and Captain Cao also wants to stay away. The relationship between him and Leonardo has come to the present inexplicably, Leonardo has given face to Captain Cao like this, and Captain Cao doesn't want to give him face.
"Head Cao, I want to apologize for my rudeness to you before. When Captain Cao was speculating about what the first Yan of the empire wanted to communicate with him privately, Monica opened the conversation box first and smiled apologetically at Captain Cao. This is a bit of a superfluous move, because it is impossible for any man to remember such a woman's hatred, and Captain Cao is no exception.
"See. I don't like to beat around the bush, and since you have come to discuss with me, it doesn't hurt to say it directly. As long as I can do it, I will definitely try to close the deal between us. "Head Cao is very calm, since he has agreed, he will definitely not make excuses. Captain Cao has always kept a lot of secrets, that is because he knows that he can't get too much attention from others now, and blocking Monica's mouth naturally has a lot of significance.
"No, no, no, Captain Cao, it's not a deal. In any case, since you want to keep your secret, it is in your consideration, and I will definitely respect your privacy, there is no doubt about that, I just want to ask you for a favor. "Monica doesn't look like she usually doesn't face anything, she looks like I feel sorry for me now, but when I see her like this, I only think she's just a weak woman who needs help.
"Ahem...... It's nothing, as long as you're willing to say it, I can help, it's absolutely nothing. Captain Cao coughed dryly, he really couldn't stop Monica's unique style, and his heart beat faster unconsciously.
"You've probably heard of it, I'm a member of the Bellucci family now. Monica was as gentle as water, and unconsciously took off her usual mask, and said: "Since my husband passed away, the Bellucci family has been in decline. I've always wanted to do something for my family, but unfortunately, I'm only a daughter after all, and my strength is limited. No matter how hard you try, you can't reverse this momentum. Especially now, it's even more difficult to move forward......"
Captain Cao didn't say anything, these things had been said by Captain Cao a long time ago, and Captain Cao respected such a strange woman as Monica from the bottom of his heart. is still perfect, but he is willing to keep the empty boudoir alone for his lover, and he also bears the rise and fall of a big family on his shoulders. Even at the expense of getting involved in the dust, this perseverance and firmness are absolutely rare in the world. As long as she is willing, even if it is a person like Leonardo, Long Junjie is willing to be her minister, what kind of man can't be found? But she never thought about it like this, and Captain Cao doubted that such a woman could find a second one.
"The Bellucci family's previous business was mainly concentrated in southern Xinjiang, and there was a simple trade with the southern barbarians, but it was not so lucrative. After the start of the southern expedition, this barely subsistence trade route no longer existed. And the other lifeblood of the Bellucci family is trade with the human world. This lifeline has always been in the hands of human merchants, and the Bellucci family is just the weaker party. With the outbreak of tensions between you in the Exiled Realm and the human caravanserais, they also have a certain countermeasure within the Beamon Empire, which is to suppress some families in the Empire, including the Bellucci family. After the creation of these two lifelines, the current Bellucci family is already worse and crumbling. Monica frowned lightly, and a pair of phoenix eyes also became worried, and she became more and more helpless.
"If you can, I would like to ask Captain Cao to raise your noble hand so that a few of these human caravans who have trade with the Belluqi family can cross the border safely, so that the life of the Bellucci family will be somewhat better. Monica hesitated for a moment, but finally pleaded in a low voice. Monica almost never begged, but now she had to bow her head.
When Captain Cao heard this, his heart sank, and he suddenly felt that he was really a little inhuman. He's always been here to do what he wants, and he only thinks about what is good for him, and he never thinks deeply about how much his actions affect others. Even if he thought about it occasionally, Captain Cao would not delve into it, after all, he was a Great Beamon chauvinist. But what happened to the Bellucci family made Chief Cao have to pay attention. Monica came here to ask for help, which already shows that the situation is very unsatisfactory, if she becomes the last straw that crushes the Bellucci family, Captain Cao himself will not forgive himself, it is the family of martyrs!
Captain Cao was even thinking that it was very likely that those damn guys deliberately targeted the Bellucci family, who relied more on their partners, and then used some means. Thinking of this, Head Cao was not in a good mood. And Captain Cao also thought of the current bad situation of the Bellucci family, they were originally a big family located in the southern provinces, although Monica said it simply, as long as she had a brain, she could understand how much impact they were suffering now. The beginning of the southern expedition is not only affecting their industry, but cutting off their lifeline!
"No, Miss Monica, I'm going to stick to my ways. Now that I've embarked on this path, I'm going to stay the course. Even if there will be new changes when I return to Sri Lanka this time, I can make up my mind now, as long as I am here for a day, the restrictions on them will only become more and more intensified, and I will definitely not relax even a little. Head Cao pondered for a moment, and then gave a categorical reply of his own.
"Sure enough, is this request still too unreasonable?" Monica has been anxiously waiting for an answer, when Captain Cao's words came out, Monica's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of disappointment, she seemed to have guessed this result a long time ago, but after it was really confirmed, she was still a little difficult to accept, and Captain Cao could even clearly see her shoulders fluttering.
"But I'm not done yet, Miss Monica. Head Cao also smiled apologetically, and continued: "I'm not saying that I have to sit idly by, as you said, the current unfavorable situation of the Bellucci family is inseparable from my misdeeds here. A real man never shirks his responsibilities, and if I do evil, I will bear the bad consequences caused by me. Don't say more, you ask someone from the Bellucci family to sort out a foreign trade bill from the past few years and bring it here, and communicate with my bookkeeper, Pat Riley. From now on, I will contract all the goods to be sold by the Bellucci family, no matter how many, and purchase them at twice the market price, and I will never break my promise, and I will sort out the contract as soon as possible. I hope this will make the Beast God Boss lighten my sins a little bit......" (To be continued.) )
