Chapter 327: Rebuke
Located in the office of the commander of the Middle East at the Pentagon in Western Abraham, Admiral Gawayne looked at the young man not far away who was playing with a model sailboat.
"Michael Wood, is that your answer, the reason for your disobedience to military orders and your assault on Nasava?"
"What else could I do in that situation? If the person Sayyid Abdul were to be arrested by the Republic of Southern Babylon, it would be an international scandal. At that time, not only me, but also you, Mr. General, would be blown to pieces by this bomb! Unlike you, a few people from the CIA praised me for their decisiveness. ”
"That's because they don't have to bear the pressure on the president's side. ”
Admiral Gawayne was already biting the end of his cigar into slag: "You can wait until twelve hours later, and we will complete the process of applying for an attack." And no, as is the case now, the Army Chief of Staff almost slapped the document in my face. ”
"Twelve hours later? Who knows what's going to happen?"
Michael Wood laughed and sat down in front of Admiral Gavein: "Mr. General, I am at fault in this matter now, but you also know that the situation was very urgent, right? That is not an unforgivable thing. ”
"But what about your looting in Nasava? Someone reported to the Inspector General's Office that at least 900,000,000,000 gold guilders in cash and gold were in your pockets with some of the officers of the 7th Brigade. ”
"Nothing. ”
There was no hint of shame on Michael Wood's legendary young face: "This is an insult to me!" Mr. Admiral, as far as I know, they have no evidence against it, and the CIA is also vouching for me from Mr. Inspector General. ”
"But we all know what's going on!"
Admiral Gawayne's face was cloudy, and finally he sneered: "Do you think that after such a mistake of principle has happened, you can still act as if nothing happened?"
He then handed a document to Michael Wood, who took it in his hand and only glanced at it, then raised his eyebrows: "The transfer order? ”
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ”
Admiral Gawayne threw the cigar he had bitten directly into the trash: "It is the civilian bureaucrats in this building who are responsible for the promotion of generals, and now, you have offended them severely. I suggest you better lie dormant for a while until they think you've been tamed. ”

Three minutes later, when Major General Michael Wood walked out of the Middle East commander's office, his adjutant, Captain Virginia, was the first to greet him. He remained silent and followed until the two of them walked out of the Pentagon, and then asked, "Mr. Major General, it doesn't seem to be going well, does it? I heard you arguing inside, and the whole floor was filled with the roar of Admiral Gawayne." ”
"Bluff, just do it for the above. ”
Although Michael said this, there was still a bit of helplessness on his face: "A month later, I had to be transferred to the Defense Logistics Agency as the deputy head of the audit department. Shit, I know what an audit is? I've got to find a new owner, Virginia. ”
"Major General, are you really leaving the army and leaving the Seventh Brigade?"
Captain Virginia had a sad and annoyed look in his eyes: "As I said before, Michael, you have done too recklessly, at least until the Joint Chiefs of Staff explicitly authorizes it. ”
"So I deserve it. ”
Michael Wood's reaction was flat: "Don't make this face that the sky is falling, OK? In those private companies, I can at least make money openly, many times more than now." You know? There is a saying in the East that it is called seeking benevolence and obtaining benevolence, and I am like this now. Do you think I'll have my place up there after that? So, Virginia, sooner or later, I'm not going to be able to stay in the army. ”
Captain Virginia looked helpless, and he was really helpless in the face of this kind of boss who had made up his mind to make money as his first priority.
And when he heard the words 'after that incident', his expression darkened slightly, indeed, as Michael said, this person in the army, there is indeed no future at all.
Despite the sudden incident three years ago, Michael saved the lives of 700 soldiers and gained high prestige among the Seventh Brigade, but he touched the backlash of many big names in the Pentagon. In comparison, the Seventh Brigade's unauthorized attack on the city of Nasawa did not seem to be a big deal.
So even if his boss has made a lot of achievements and stepped into the legendary realm at the age of forty-five, he is still standing still in the rank of major general.
"So Michael, you've found your next home now?"
He thought that if his boss really couldn't stay in the army, then he and many colleagues would choose to follow him without hesitation.
"There were a few big companies that offered me, but I didn't agree. Although the salary package they offer is very attractive, the location is not satisfactory to me. ”
Michael Wood shook his head and stepped into his car: "But I'm going to go to Atlanta, there's a Rising Sun retail company over there, and they still lack a chief security officer." ”
"Glorious Sun Retail?"
Captain Virginia's face was full of confusion: "It's a big company, I haven't heard of it at all?"
"Of course you haven't heard of it, it's just recently, and it is said that a few days ago it just got 900 million gold shield financing from the Michel Group. ”
Michael Wood raised his hand and took out some newspapers from his file bag and handed them to his adjutant: "This is the one I marked." ”
Virginia flipped through it, and since his boss had already laid out the focus, he quickly found the corresponding content.
"A company with only a few dozen stores, Michael, are you sure? This doesn't match who you are, how to put it, it's like a dragon has entered a rat's nest, and you'll be laughed at by your colleagues, Mr. Major General. Andre Lee Wildenstein: It would be fine if it was the Wildenstein family, but the newspapers said that he was not a Wildenstein, and that he was ostracized by all his people. ”
"It's a little bit worse now, but maybe the future is uncertain. ”
The corners of Michael Wood's lips were slightly raised: "They operate an electrical appliance chain, and they sell several electrical appliance brands together to make a profit, and only the seventeen stores that are now open have a net profit of more than six million gold per day." ”
"But I feel that this model will be very competitive, right?"
Captain Virginia clearly has a sharp eye: "Especially off-site expansion. EMM~ I feel that even if they are in Atlanta, if they don't have a strong strength, it will be difficult to stand still. ”
"That's why they need a strong security director, and I'm going to go to Atlanta first. ”
Michael Wood looked at the other newspaper in his hand, the photo of Li Mochen in the headline position, and there was a blazing meaning in his eyes: "Do you know? A friend told me that this little guy named Andre has the air of a king!"
"Huh?"
Captain Virginia looked dazed, completely unsure why.
