"Sure enough, the civil servants of the mixed organs are not simple. After Lorraine walked out of the door of the Prime Minister's Office, she was still secretly sighing.

Look at the level of Viscount Friedrich's speech, polite and thoughtful, not leaking, without saying anything substantial, he still has to understand, but he has a big favor.

It's no wonder that when I was in the place, every time I heard my subordinates talk about the department officials in Ruman City, they all gritted their teeth with hatred.

Cow people, cattle people~!

Since they are cattle people, when you see them in the future, you must stay away.

Such people are like the legendary civil servants of the British Empire.

Whether it's doing good or bad things, they can eventually do what is good for them.

I think that back then, the world was dominant, only I was undefeated, and the 1193rd chapter of the cow fork was more undefeated than the east, and finally understood (ask for a monthly ticket) what a bull fork was for the undefeated navy of the British Empire.

As a result, thanks to their efforts, the aircraft carrier did not even have a carrier-based aircraft.

But those guys can decorate office buildings with 40 billion yuan, hang 200,000 famous paintings, and use 50,000 rolls of hand paper, which is really too powerful.

Although the lord now has a lot of halos on his head, these puppies are by no means something that the lord can provoke.

Lorraine sighed as she walked out of the Prime Minister's Office.

As soon as he stepped out of the Prime Minister's Office, he suddenly found that the eyes of the people around him were all focused on him, although the lord had long been accustomed to being watched.

But the gazes of these onlookers in front of them were quite strange. A few people in front of the gate quickly stepped back a few steps. It seems that he is afraid that he will get too close to Lord Lorraine and contract some kind of disease.

Lord Lorraine couldn't help frowning, but he didn't care, he just pursed his lips and scolded in his heart: How do these Ruman people usually arrange their bad words?

However, being able to become a street tiger and go out every day to bully men and women was also one of the '40 dreams that must be realized before the age of 60' written by the lord when he was in high spirits.

Therefore, in chapter 1193 (asking for a monthly ticket), he just cursed a few words in his heart, and then walked through the crowd with a big grin. Step into the carriage waiting in front of the door.

The royal coachman was also arrogant, lost a roll of the crowd, and waved his whip and shouted.

As soon as the carriage turned around, it drove straight to the building of the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War and the Prime Minister's Office are on the same street. In fact, on both sides of this street are the main departments of the empire, which is known as Wangzheng Street.

It took less than a quarter of an hour for the carriage to carry Lorraine to the gate of the Ministry of Military Affairs, which was much more deserted than the Prime Minister's Office, and all the soldiers who came in and out were uniformed.

Lorraine found that nothing had changed from a few years ago, not even the gendarmes guarding the door.

After reporting his name at the guard's office, the gendarme, who was recording with his head down, shook his hand in fright, and drew a long line on his notebook. blurted out: "You...... You're Lorraine...... The Count of Lorraine?"

The surrounding gendarmes shrank their necks at the same time and hid backwards in unison.

The registered soldier seemed to be frightened silly, and looked at Lord Lorraine for a long time.

Until Lord Luo felt a little impatient, he couldn't help but clench his fists, ready to remind the dog cub how to be polite to his superiors. The gendarmes came to their senses.

He hurriedly got up, snapped a salute, and then said respectfully, "My lord, you can go in." ”

Lorraine snorted dissatisfied, shook his hand and walked through the door of the Ministry of War.

He was then greeted by a colonel-level officer.

But looking at his expression, it was as if he was going to go to the court. Tremblingly greeting Lord Lorraine, his toes kept rubbing against the floor, as if he was ready to run away at any time when the momentum was not right.

This is not surprising, just because Lord Lorraine is too infamous in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and he smashed the Ministry of Military Affairs to make a big fuss back then. As a result, it was smashed in vain, and those officers were reprimanded by the chief of military affairs.

To know. In normal times, they didn't even have the opportunity to see the chief of military affairs, but thanks to that big trouble from the lord, they were fortunate to be scolded by the chief of military affairs.

As a result, all the civil servants of the Ministry of Military Affairs were disgraced and were ...... by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Administration And so on and so on and so

Therefore, when I heard that Lord Lorraine came to the door, I was qualified to sit in a separate office, and there was a female secretary with big breasts and a big butt outside, and the guy with a "long" on my head all borrowed urine and escaped.

He was the only one left in charge of the bottom line, and he really couldn't run, so he was pushed out to death by everyone.

Seeing that guy's trembling appearance, although he was very dissatisfied with his attitude, Lord Luo didn't want to be embarrassed as a petty official.

After all, the current lord is also a high authority, and he has also been rated by the "Imperial Times Weekly" as a super idol who has swept thousands of girls, improved the social atmosphere, and improved the connotation of teenagers, and can no longer beat people and smash things at every turn. That's going to hurt the kids. And even if you can't take a bad child, it's not good to smash something.

Therefore, he could only hold back his breath and said directly: "I want to ask to see the chief man." ”

"The chief is not here now. The man said as he glanced cautiously at the lord.

Lorraine sneered and said, "Did you also go down to the grassroots level?"

"This, the chief is not in good health, and he usually doesn't come to the headquarters when it's not important. ”

"Oh" Lorraine nodded clearly, the chief of military affairs, Padres, is already in his eighties, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find a suitable successor, he would have retired a long time ago, and it was normal not to be at the headquarters.

Now I can't really pick out who is qualified to be the chief of military affairs, either because of an inappropriate identity, such as the Grand Duke Julius, or because of the lack of qualifications to suppress those arrogant generals.

Lorraine retreated and said, "Your Excellency, Second Minister?"

The deputy chief said he wasn't there either. The little officer immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face turned pale with fright, as if he was about to faint.

Lorraine raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: This wind is not in the right direction, and he has hid from anyone. There must be something wrong inside~!

Come to think of it. Lorraine was interested, waved his hand in annoyance, and said, "Okay, okay, the deputy chief said that he was not there." You stand up for me, I don't know if I think I'm bullying you, it's really unlucky~!"

After running away in vain, Lorraine returned to the Grand Duke's mansion with a belly full of anger.

As soon as he entered the house, he threw down his coat, fell on the sofa, and said sullenly: "I ran for a long time, and nothing was done." ”

Catherine and Adele. There was also Princess Lulu, who was leisurely drinking afternoon tea, when she raised her head when she heard this, she asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Lorraine recounted today's encounter. Catherine's beautiful brow furrowed, and she concluded, "Something must have happened when we weren't in Joman. ”

Lorraine nodded, it must be like this, and it won't be a good thing for herself.

"I said how strange it is for Uncle to speak," Catherine thought with her chin propped up, her brows slightly frowned, her eyes were attentive, and she had the taste of a goddess of wisdom.

Catherine suddenly slapped the table and said, "I'll go out with you in the afternoon." ”

"What are you going to do?" asked Lorraine curiously.

"Pay a visit to Chief Padres. ”

Adele was stunned for a moment. Somewhat surprised by Catherine's decision, she said, "Isn't that old man already semi-retired?"

Catherine nodded and said, "But in Ruman City, his influence is still very high, and if Chief Padres says something, Russell also has to weigh it."

Lorraine scratched her head and refused, this kind of messy things involving politics really didn't need Catherine to worry about anymore, she hadn't been idle this month, busy cleaning up the mess left by Archduke Julian.

But think of the goblin Silver Light who is still eating ice in the north. Lorraine finally nodded in agreement.

Anyway, that's also his little brother, and he can't help but cover it when he is the boss. No matter what, you can't watch that guy die in the north.

Now that it was decided, Catherine immediately sent the butler to deliver the business card, and then after lunch. Changing into formal attire, Lorraine was also forced to wear the uniform of his deputy commander-in-chief. Grab a bunch of gifts and head out to visit Chief Padres.

However, in order to avoid swagger and attract the attention of others, Catherine did not bring any escorts. It's light and simple, extremely low-key.

The carriage twisted and turned through the bustling streets of the city of Ruman, and finally came to a quiet and beautiful area of villas, where it stopped in front of a medium-sized courtyard.

Knowing that the eldest princess was coming, Padres's butler led the servants to wait at the gate early, and opened the gate as soon as the carriage appeared.

The carriage went straight through the gate, circled half a circle around the huā altar in the middle of the city, and stopped in front of the gate.

Greeted at the door was a middle-aged noblewoman, with a graceful temperament and a gentle and polite speech, who was the eldest daughter-in-law of Chief Padres, who was responsible for taking care of the elderly chief of our family.

Catherine nodded solemnly to her and smiled, "Hello Aunt Wendini." ”

Lady Wendini stepped forward and hugged Catherine and Lorraine warmly, put a touch on their faces, took Lorraine and Catherine's hands, and said, "Please come in, father has been waiting for the eldest princess and the earl, and he is so anxious that he has to ask every five minutes." ”

As he spoke, he led Lorraine and Catherine into the living room.

Padres is the chief of the three dynasties, and when Emperor Rudren's grandfather was in power, he was already a general, and his seniority in the Ruman Empire was extremely high, and no one could match.

He was also the military mentor of Rudlun and Julius, and when Julius came to him, he had to be polite as a junior.

When Lorraine walked into the room, Padres was sitting on the couch in the middle, with several newspapers in his hand, with a pair of tortoiseshell eyes, and was bothering to read the news in the newspaper.

Seeing Lorraine and Catherine, Padres beckoned to them happily and said, "Come here, boy." ”

Catherine quietly pulled Lorraine, with a sweet smile like a little girl on her face, sat next to Padres, hugged Padres's arm, and said, "Grandpa, you are in good spirits." ”

Lorraine sat honestly on the other side.

Padres was relieved, laughed and patted Catherine's head, and said, "Old, now I doze off after noon, maybe I will go to see the God of Light when I fall asleep that day." ”

Catherine smiled and said, "You're not old at all, I still have to wait for your hundredth birthday." ”

Padres waved his hand, and with the characteristic ease of a wise old man, he laughed at himself: "Living so long is a scourge, and now there are people who are anxious for me to die." ”

Catherine slapped the table. Raised eyebrows and said, "Who is so vicious." Get him~!"

Padres laughed heartily and patted his legs, and said, "Sure enough, it's the daughter of the Julian family." Say, what's the matter?

Normally, you're fine, but you don't come. What's the trouble this kid is in?"

"How can there be~!" Catherine said coquettishly: "Every time I come to Ruman, I want to see you." ”

Padres smiled and said, "Yes, but you don't come the next day." ”

Catherine grinned and said, "Lorraine has some professional questions I want to ask you, after all, you have the highest qualifications in the whole continent." ”

Lorraine also smiled, Chief Padres has a lot of help to his master, and can be called an amiable elder.

Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "What if." I mean, if there's such a plan......"

Military secrets in the northern mountains could not be revealed directly, although Chief Padres must have been aware that the plans for the summer offensive were drawn up by his men. It was to be reported to him, the chief minister, for the final decision.

But for the sake of consideration, Lorraine also had to turn around and speak.

Padres listened to Lorraine's account with a smile and closed his eyes in deep thought.

Lorraine and Catherine didn't dare to come out, and looked at the experienced old man with concern.

After a while, Padress suddenly laughed out loud, then shook his head with a smile.

Catherine asked, "Grandpa?"

Padres waved his hand to stop Catherine from speaking, looked at Lorraine with a pair of old eyes, and said, "Don't talk about this yet, you kid." It's been three years since you smashed my military department, right?"

Lorraine smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's been almost three years." ”

"Hmm" Padres nodded slowly, and said: "If you smashed it well last time, you should teach the office a lesson, those guys don't have any fart skills except for intrigue, look at the summer offensive plan they did, what bullshit."

If you want me to say it's not enough. I'll have to smash them again when I come back~!"

Lorraine smiled bitterly, and spread her hands helplessly, she was really stunned back then.

In other words, Lord Lorraine would not have chosen such a direct approach, and there was a way to clean up their.

"Time flies so fast~!" Chief Padres sighed and said, "Three years ago. You're in the Maple Leaf Danlin, with that little rascal Leo. There are also hundreds of students who have not grown up completely, withstanding the 70,000 Almohads elite.

Amazing~!"

Padres clapped his hands and said, "When the old man knew this, he happily opened a bottle of the royal salute for the second year. ”

"What is ......?"

Lorraine just wanted to speak, but Padres waved his hand to stop him, touched the sparse silver-white hair on the top of his head, and said: "After so many years, the empire has finally produced another person who can use his brain to fight, good, good."

Then let's counterattack with Maple Leaf Danlin, don't you know, the soldiers of our generation, who fought with Haddou, dreamed of attacking the Almohad land, and you took people with you.

In less than a month, the Almohad capital was captured, the rabbit king and the prime minister of the other side were captured alive, and they drank gruel for a whole year, which was also very good. ”

Catherine smiled unconsciously proudly, she also suffered a lot of pressure when she found a boyfriend like Lorraine, after all, the two were too far apart, and Lorraine was just a young aristocrat in the countryside at that time. This kind of person grabs a handful of them in the salon of the noble lady.

However, after these two battles, no one said anything about her choice, and the only thing left was envy and jealousy, the eldest princess had a good eye for picking clothes, and even better for picking men.

Padres pointed his fingers and said, "Then you went to Ney'an, didn't you? Russell's little bastard, such a good person was put to be a magistrate, it's just blind." ”

Lorraine nodded heavily in agreement. This is the only one in the empire who dares to call the sixty-year-old Russell a little bastard.

"But he didn't expect that you would cure the orcs when you took office. Chief Padres said with a smile: "With the strength of a province, I hired reinforcements with my own money, led the troops to defend and counterattack, conquered three million and a half orcs, and opened up two new territories the size of Naian."

This kind of feat is unique in 400 years.

Then, Ruman is not enough for you kid to toss, and he jumped to the demon clan, tossing them chickens and dogs, breaking their alliance, not to mention, capturing the war fortress, and resisting the undead high priest.

When the news came back from Hong Kong, my old man was startled, and said that this kid was so powerful. ”

Lorraine smiled modestly.

Padres continued: "Come back, before you have a firm ass, follow Julius to beat Haddou, you know, this is the old man's long-cherished wish for twenty years, you helped me to complete it, and drove Haddou to death all the way."

Now I, an old man, can finally die with peace of mind, not to mention the epoch-making weapon of artillery.

Now you're busy tossing the barbarians again, and you're going to fight again.

Do you know that I heard a sentence from the Ministry of War, and they said, "Why do you want to keep the Ministry of War?" I left it all to you, the Earl of Lorraine.

Compared to you, we, the generals of the Ruman Empire, are simply a bunch of rice buckets. ”

Chief Padres looked at Lorraine with a smile and said, "Now, you understand~!"

Lorraine's heart flashed like a flash of lightning, and she slapped her head hard, and suddenly realized.

I'm in the way of others~!

No wonder Russell insisted on squeezing himself out, and the Marquis of Marleton was not willing to help himself, and the people in the Ministry of War did not like him so much.

I have done all the work myself, so how can others earn military merits, be promoted and make a fortune.

That's why Emperor Rudren is helpless and regretful, and he can't say it clearly, so he can only let Lorraine understand it himself.

Although Lorraine is good, the emperor has more than one general under Lorraine, and the ruling empire does not rely on Lord Lorraine's soldiers.

Relying on nearly a million legions and thousands of generals.

As emperor, he also needs to balance and appease others.

Padres leaned over and patted Lorraine on the shoulder, and said, "Sometimes, it's not good to be too good. ”

Lorraine nodded like a good student and said, "Understood~!"

"Got it," Padres said leisurely, "Now you know what to do, right?" (To be continued!!
