Custer, the man who just became the head of the Supreme Government's Intelligence Department yesterday, has not changed in any way, and he has not shown the so-called happy appearance of a happy event-he is still sitting in the wheelchair that has accompanied him for about ten years , and there was a hint of haggardness in his expression. Anyone with normal eyesight could see his bloodshot eyes and dark circles under his eyes that were so thick that they couldn't be concealed.
"Commander, Your Excellency Taft, good morning!"
After greeting the leaders of the two dark mercenary organizations who were closer to him, Custer looked at Mengmai in response, waved his hand, and said, "Nightmare, long time no see!"
Huh? !
Such a differentiated way of greeting stunned Taf and the commander. Neither of them was stupid. The two of them could not fail to see the obvious difference in treatment and attitudes of closeness and intimacy; rather, it was almost subconscious. , After the two looked at each other, bad thoughts rose from the bottom of their hearts.
Could it be that he has already contacted the highest government
Otherwise, it would be impossible to reject us over and over again!
it is as expected!
Both of them could clearly see the astonishment in the eyes of the alliance, and then, their gazes were all aimed at Mengmai, with an inexplicable incomprehensible meaning - Mengmai was too clear about the thoughts of these two people Now, it is clear that he looks at the two with disdain and sarcasm. If this matter is only related to him, Nightmare will definitely not mind letting these two guys speculate for a while, but it is about that. An adult, but he had to explain.
"The last time I saw it at Lord Shaker's Dragon, it was only less than half a month ago, right?"
Nightmare waved at Custer and said with a smile; upon hearing such an explanation, Taff and the commander couldn't help but subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief, and the sound of relief was obviously a bit loud, which attracted Custer He stared sideways, watching the expressions of the two of them. Custer asked knowingly, and said, "The two of you are very nervous about the relationship between me and Nightmare!"
When he said these words again, Custer leaned against his wheelchair and assumed a comfortable posture; although the posture without legs was a bit weird, but under Custer's gaze, Taf and The commander was not in the mood but appreciated such awkwardness, and the nightmare at the side even had nothing to do with raising his head and spitting out smoke rings one after another.
Obviously with a weird feeling. The slightly heavy atmosphere lasted for more than ten seconds before Taft said—
"Your Majesty Custer is here to find the nightmare, right? We won't bother you too much!"
After Taft winked at the commander, the two of them were about to stand up and leave—although a decision had already been made and they would definitely discuss it with the highest government, but now was not the time. Not only is the timing wrong, but more importantly, the candidate is wrong; to put it simply, in the minds of the two of them, Custer in front of him is undoubtedly not qualified; if it is the other party's superior, the chief of staff Moretti .
In fact, they are more willing to deal with Moretti because of the other party's experience in the Secret Service. The two sides are not too unfamiliar, in a sense, they are still familiar, they know Moretti's personality; and because of this familiarity, both Taft and the commander think that Moretti is a suitable candidate.
"You two, please don't worry!"
Just when Taf and the commander stood up, Custer spoke. He raised his arm to stop the two from leaving. Then, he looked at Mengyan again, and said: "I just wanted to explain to Mengyan today, but since the two of you are here, let's talk together; after all, this matter is also related to the two of you! "
Hear such words. There was a burst of nervousness in Taf's heart. After he gestured to the commander without a trace, he immediately said with a smile: "What happened again?"
"Yeah, if it's not something important. I think we'd better talk about it separately!"
With Taff's gesture, the commander immediately said cooperatively—after the nightmare made it clear that he would not form an alliance with the two of them, the commander didn't want to have more involvement with the nightmare; whether it was business or This is true in private matters; especially when the other party is the highest government, if possible, the commander would like the nightmare to disappear immediately.
After all, according to the character of the other party, he may do something that makes people feel extremely regretful-this is not a so-called guess, but real; in fact, in the past experience of the other party, such things have happened more than once Things; so, after the commander finished speaking, Taff nodded again.
"It's not a big deal, I don't think it's necessary to talk about it separately!"
Custer did not do what Taf and the commander wished, but waved his hands again, and said in denial; but he also turned a blind eye to the embarrassment that appeared on the faces of the two of them, and continued: "The highest The government is facing a dilemma, and all three of you here must know about it; or to be more serious, the entire Lorant is also facing a crisis, and we need to work together to tide over the difficulty!"
Regarding the danger of Lorant, the people present naturally knew what was going on. Even for Taft and the commander, it was because of this incident that they had such an idea; In normal times, opting out is the best option.
"So, the Supreme Government decided..."
Custer raised up two fingers, put down one of them first, and began to talk about the first one: "If you want to stay in Xialin District, then we don't have any objections, but we must For the highest government service, we will give you some fixed salaries; and if you don’t want to, you can leave at will, we will not stop; but... "
Having said that, another one was dropped.
"However, in this battle against the dark creatures, as human beings, all of you are naturally indifferent; on the battlefield, we need a team led by people like you who are good at small-scale combat!"
As soon as Custer's words fell, Taf and the commander frowned—obviously, the other party's proposal caught them by surprise; You have to pay for yourself.
What salary
Although the salary of the highest government is good for ordinary people, it is not enough for dark mercenaries like them. And it is not this meager salary that they are after.
"We are naturally happy to join the highest government; however, in terms of salary..."
Taft, a skinny old man, laughed and expressed his opinion: "As dark mercenaries, we live a precarious life, so..."
"Chief Taft, I'm talking about notifications, not discussions; please understand the difference!"
Before Taft finished speaking. Custer interrupted the other party. He looked at Taf with a serious expression and said word by word.
"Isn't there some..."
Under Custer's watchful eyes, Taft's words finally turned into a dry laugh; while the commander on the side had a hint of anger, and couldn't help saying in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Custer, what you said can represent The highest government? As far as I know, you are just the deputy chief of staff in a combat deduction room!"
"I am here this time under the orders of Your Excellency the Speaker!" Looking at the commander, Kasde said slowly: "Yes, I am the deputy chief of staff in the combat deduction room, but I am also the top government intelligence officer. Minister of the Ministry!"
What, what? !
After hearing this news, Taft and the commander couldn't help but be surprised—in the highest government, the most powerful person is undoubtedly the speaker. Then there are the remaining 11 members of parliament and the ministers of various ministries; however, most of the time, the ministers of each ministry are concurrently held by various members of parliament; Phenomenon.
"The official promotion is really fast!"
Nightmare, who had not spoken all the time, gave Cusde a thumbs up and congratulated him in his own way; moreover, he expressed his position: "I will not live on a salary. Even if I want to, the highest government will not It's not for me; so, if I go to the battlefield to deal with dark creatures, I will go; however, the salary will be waived; I don't want to live in such a restrained life!"
"It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to work with you; however, I can buy you a drink when I come to Tudor in the future!"
Custer nodded at Nightmare. Then, they looked at Taf and the commander once more; the two immediately frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Mengmai's way of expressing their position on the spot; however. With the presence of Cusd, the two couldn't say anything more. Immediately, after looking at each other again, Taf spoke as a representative.
"Our organization is not the only one of us, we need to go back and discuss seriously! Of course, we are obliged to fight against dark creatures!"
Using these words as a cover-up excuse, Taff and the commander temporarily left the room, and promised to give Cusd an answer as soon as possible.
"You did it on purpose, right?"
After Taff and the commander left, Nightmare looked at Custer and smiled.
"How is it possible!"
Custer spread his hands, looking innocent.
"Although the intelligence department of the highest government has always been rotten, it is rotten to the bone; but, it is still well aware of the things that have low eyelids; what Taf and the commander want to do, how could they hide it from you? This new Minister of Intelligence?"
While talking, Nightmare took out a cigar and threw it to Custer, watching him skillfully cut off the cigar, took out a match and lit it, and continued: "Besides, the timing of your appearance is too coincidental; Those two guys just came in, you came to visit, if there is no trick, I will not believe anything!"
"What if I say all of this is a coincidence?"
Faced with such words, Nightmare simply raised a middle finger as a response; while Custer indifferently smoked the cigar in his mouth vigorously, letting the strong smell of tobacco fill his mouth and nose. The end and lungs, and repeated circulation - although he knew that such smoking would not do any good to his body, but in some special cases, he could only rely on this to seek a little relief.
Was everything before that a coincidence
of course not!
There are not so many coincidences in the world. In fact, this was the first news he received after he became the Minister of Intelligence. It was a news that made him very angry-Caster was not a workaholic, but But he is a dedicated person. Since he has become the Minister of Intelligence, he will do his best to do his best.
Therefore, after sending away his friend Mo Liti. Custer plunged into the intelligence department, and began to summarize and analyze all the news in the past week-he lost his legs, and he was destined to be unable to go to the battlefield, but this does not mean that he cannot use other methods to complete your task.
Intelligence analysis is not very difficult for Kasde, who has been in the combat deduction room for quite a long time, especially after having an extra team of twenty experts around him. Some news was quickly placed in front of Cusde—some of these news were very inconspicuous, and some of them were doubtful, but they would not cause harm. Generally, the intelligence agencies would put such news in the On the other hand, look for more sensitive news.
but. That was before, after Custer took office, any small news required a complete and exact confirmation report, and in this report, Custer discovered the killing thoughts and the Taft Brotherhood. A slight change, as the person in charge of monitoring these dark mercenaries. Custer was instinctively wary of these dark mercenaries.
Therefore, the intelligence department with more than 500 people in Dude was immediately mobilized to find out what the Killing Thought and the Taft Brotherhood wanted to do for Custer.
As a result, Custer broke the teacup in his hand.
And, with the scene like this morning; if possible, Custer would definitely use more severe means to tell the killing mind and the Taft Brotherhood that the bottom line of the supreme government is there. And the consequences of being touched, but at this time, when any internal strife needs to be eliminated, Custer had to choose a safe way.
Of course, if Killing Thought and the Taft Brothers would do something bad under his reminder, Custer would definitely let people from these two organizations. He understands why the Supreme Government, the Demon Hunter, and the Holy See can be listed as the three major powers in Lorant, while the other party is just the top power in the dark mercenary organization.
"Is there a radio?"
Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Custer said suddenly.
"certainly!"
nodded. Nightmare immediately asked his subordinates to bring a radio; Facing Nightmare's curious eyes, Custer signaled him to wait for a while—
Zila... Zila...
The sound of electric current in the radio rang continuously, and then disappeared, leaving only a clear voice; the voice of an old man.
"Everyone, I'm Ayrin..."
The introduction at the beginning made Nightmare sit up straight and looked at Cassder with a look of surprise; in the entire Supreme Government, there are naturally many people named Ayrin, but they are too old, which can make Cass De noticed, and Ayrin who appeared on the radio, as far as Nightmare knew, was only one: the Speaker of the Supreme Government, Ayrin.
Custer didn't answer, just motioned, and Nightmare continued to listen.
"For what happened in Dude recently, I would like to apologize to everyone; it was because of my negligence that this happened; as the speaker of the highest government, my negligence is unforgivable..."
This speech of apology is not long, only about three minutes, but it is enough to make everyone remember - after the establishment of the supreme government, this is the first speaker to publicly apologize in front of the world; and the sincerity of the other party, everyone respects Being able to hear it is not perfunctory.
Therefore, countless civilians have respect for the sacrificed Deputy Minister of Trade, Trunk, and are full of resentment towards those congressmen who use their power for personal gain. Lin is also remembered in my heart.
"It's the first time I found out that this speaker is good!"
Nightmare blew out a smoke ring and said; but Custer didn't take the words, but staggered the topic: "You really don't want to work with me?"
"Hey man, please!"
Nightmare rolled his eyes, pointed at his own attire, touched his fat belly, and said, "Do you think I am suitable for wearing a suit, walking on the street with a blank face, and completing various crisis tasks? Or Do you think I can sit in the office with nothing to do, drink coffee, and read a newspaper for a whole day?"
"Now I am not at the age of retirement or habitually commanded by others at will!"
Speaking of this, Nightmare showed an unruly smile.
"So, you have decided to become a witcher?"
Custer asked—the other party's answer was not beyond his expectations. After all, when he saw the other party at the Dragon of Shaker that day, some subtleties shown by the other party were enough to explain the problem.
"Not always!"
After the ambiguous answer, Nightmare paused, and added: "Of course, if that lord needs it..."
…
At the same time, in front of Four Seasons Fort, a group of troops belonging to the Allied Forces of Qiulin District came to the front.
