"I just wrote a resignation application, but I haven't received the approval yet..."
Private Garfield racked his brains and finally came up with such a reason. Since his resignation application has not been approved, he is still the commander of the Guards.
Little did he know that his opponent was a member of society who had lived three lifetimes.
"Oh, I'll approve it right away."
As Chen Xing spoke, he picked up the resignation application on the table. Without reading the content, he picked up the pen and prepared to sign.
"Wait!" Garfield couldn't help but stretched out his hands.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing looked up at the legion commander across the desk, his face full of confusion.
"Even if I don't have an official position now, as a law-abiding citizen of the kingdom, I still have the right to report issues to the kingdom's supreme governor."
Garfield said seriously, this was probably the most reasonable argument he could think of.
"What did you just say?" Chen Xing didn't seem to understand and looked at Garfield expressionlessly.
"I mean, even if I don't have an official position now..."
As soon as Garfield started to retell, he was mercilessly interrupted by Chen Xing, "Don't you think it's against common sense for you, a commoner, to come directly to the Supreme Consul to respond to your problem?"
"There are hundreds of millions of people in the kingdom. If everyone came to me to report problems like you, I would be drowned in saliva in less than five minutes."
"I am the Prime Minister of the Kingdom. I am busy with affairs and have many things to deal with every day. I have no time to listen to the trivial matters of ordinary people like you."
"If you really want to report a problem, please turn around and go out. First go to the local Civil Affairs Bureau to file a report, report the problem to them, and then report it to them step by step."
"If there are fewer things this year, I may see your report at this time next year, thank you!"
Chen Xing fired a series of cannonballs, which made the honest man Garfield stunned and speechless. However, his words were reasonable and reasonable, making it impossible for people to think of anything to refute.
"Why are you still hanging around? You can leave after I sign your resignation application." Chen Xing picked up the pen and pretended to sign it.
"Wait, please wait!"
Garfield repeatedly stopped him. Chen Xing frowned and glanced at the other person, looking a little impatient, "What do you mean?"
"I..." Garfield looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak. He had been in the military all his life and had been through fire and water, but this was the first time he encountered such a difficult matter, so that his mind went blank and he didn't know what to say.
"Should I approve your resignation application or not?" Chen Xing asked. He helps Garfield say what he wants to say, and the other person only needs to nod or shake his head. Simply put, it is a skill for communicating with kindergarten children.
"For now, wait for now..." Garfield said intermittently. Although he realized there was something wrong with his words, he couldn't figure it out in such a short time.
"Temporarily?" Chen Xing raised his voice, "You mean temporarily?"
"The commander of the Imperial Guard, an important minister of the country, is it temporary to resign?" Chen Xing looked across the desk at the commander of the regiment opposite, as if he was looking at a fool.
Perhaps Chen Xing's questions were too sharp and his gaze was too sharp, so that Garfield felt a dull pain on his face and even the corners of his mouth twitched.
This was definitely the most embarrassing scene he had ever encountered in his life. He would rather stay in the extremely dangerous Zero Zone for a month than spend half a second in the other party's office.
If there was a crack in the ground now, he would definitely get in without hesitation.
"So are you resigning now or not?" Chen Xing took the initiative to ask the question without letting the situation get colder.
"I..." After all, Garfield was an honest man, not thick-skinned enough, and could not say anything out loud.
So Chen Xing helped him.
"Then you are not ready to resign?" As he said, he slapped the resignation application form in front of the other party, "If you don't resign, take the application form back!"
Garfield was still in a daze and subconsciously picked up the application form in front of him.
"Lord Marquis, please sit down!"
Chen Xing's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and he invited Garfield to sit down in a friendly manner.
Garfield was stunned and didn't react. He was dumbfounded and felt like he was dreaming.
Since he has not resigned, he is the commander of the Imperial Guard, and his important ministers will naturally have to entertain him well.
"Aiyin, serve tea to the Marquis."
"Instructions received."
Aiyin quickly brought tea and cakes. Now that Chen Xing had no servants around him, he had to let her, the liaison officer, do the work.
After a long while, the honest man's brain circuit finally turned around.
Garfield took a deep breath, calmed down, cleared his thoughts, and asked seriously, "Prime Minister, I am here to ask you why you want to arrest our officers?"
He had to be convinced, at least when it came to talking heads, the other party completely crushed him.
Chen Xing did not continue to beat around the bush and asked, "Are you referring to Viscount Pacas?"
Garfield nodded, "Yes."
"Viscount Pacas is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, treason, and disturbing the morale of the military. He has been arrested and brought to justice by the trial court." Chen Xing said.
"Is there any evidence?" Garfield asked.
"Of course there is evidence." Chen Xing said.
"Then please ask the Prime Minister to make public the evidence of his collaboration with the enemy and treason, otherwise..." Garfield raised his voice, "I'm afraid the brothers below will not accept it!"
Looking at the serious-looking legion commander, Chen Xing smiled and asked, "What will happen if they disobey?"
Garfield did not expect Chen Xing to be so straightforward. He just wanted to warn the other party through hints not to treat the Guards as soft persimmons.
"You don't mean to say that they will rebel because of this, right?" Chen Xing said.
Garfield no longer knew how to answer, so he could only remain silent.
"The kingdom gives us so much money a year, and we are willing to live and die just because of a trivial matter. We are even willing to launch a rebellion. Why are we raising such troops? We should just withdraw them."
Chen Xing said blatantly, and the honest man Garfield clenched his fists, veins popping out.
Seeing that the conflict was imminent, Chen Xing suddenly changed the topic, "But..." He smiled, "As the commander of your Imperial Guard, it only takes one sentence to protect your officers."
After another village, Chen Xing closed the door of Garfield and opened a window for him.
The change was so fast that Garfield could not turn his head and said in a stiff tone, "Then please prime minister to release Viscount Pacas."
"It's okay to let people go, but there are some things I must remind you..." Chen Xing opened the black watch and projected the image on the big screen.
"As long as the prime minister appoints a subordinate as the commander of the army, the subordinate will be conscientious and devoted to his duties. He will be loyal to the prime minister and will never have second thoughts."
"As long as the Prime Minister says a word, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Viscount Pacas on the screen stood with his head held high and vowed to do so.
"The person you want to protect first suggested that I use the Ring of the Kingdom to take over the Guards, and then proposed to me to appoint him as the commander of the legion after you submitted your resignation application."
"Even if he is such a person, do you still want to protect him?" Chen Xing asked.
"Brothers of the Guards, we are like brothers." Garfield said solemnly, "He has made a huge mistake, but he is also a soldier under my command!"
"As long as they are my soldiers, there is no reason not to protect them!" Garfield said firmly and resolutely, looking upright and awe-inspiring.
A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.
Something is amiss.
Even if his subordinates tried to seek power and seize the throne, Garfield, as the commander, still protected them without hesitation.
Is this because Garfield is broad-minded, or is there another reason?
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
This is the Ice Blue City, and no matter how honest an official is, he cannot remain indifferent to the betrayal of his subordinates.
If you are so open-minded, why should you be an official? Wouldn't it be better to go home and farm the fields and enjoy the pastoral scenery?
Everyone who stands on this stage of power wants to be a high official and do great things.
Since he is such a person, there is no reason why he can tolerate the betrayal of his subordinates.
Chen Xing was keenly aware that there must be something fishy here.
Looking back carefully, Garfield's expression seemed calm when he saw the video, and he didn't show any surprise at all.
In other words, Garfield probably knew about it beforehand!
"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"
After figuring out the joints, Chen Xing clapped his hands, with a joking smile on his face, and sighed, "You Imperial Guards really have a deep brotherhood..."
Garfield didn't know what trick Chen Xing was trying to play, so he kept a serious poker face and said nothing.
"In the face of subordinates with evil intentions, you can still remain calm and calm. Let me guess, what is the reason?"
"The commander of the Guards Corps resigned, and the Prime Minister defied public opinion and promoted a mid-level officer..."
"And then he turned around and the officer resigned."
When Chen Xing said this, Garfield's expression became a little unnatural.
"The Prime Minister will be embarrassed now. Perhaps from now on, he will be embarrassed to ask about the affairs of the Imperial Guard..."
"Am I right in guessing, Lord Marquis?" Chen Xing asked with a smile.
"It's just speculation, there's nothing right or wrong." Garfield said stiffly, and then added, "Does that mean that Viscount Pacas's collaboration with the enemy and treason is false, and he can be acquitted now?"
"I think this matter should be judged by the public..." Chen Xing once again played the video of Viscount Pacas, "If I put this video on the Internet and let the people of this country vote, is this behavior guilty or innocent? Sin, I don’t know what the consequences will be?”
Garfield's face turned pale, and he lost control of his emotions. His eyes widened and he roared, "How dare you!"
"Garfield!" Chen Xing slammed the table and stood up, also furious, "Do you know who you are talking to!"
"I am the holder of the Ring of the Kingdom, your immediate superior!"
"Who gave you the right to yell here!"
Garfield's face turned red and white, and his fists clenched, but he dared not speak in anger.
As Chen Xing said, he is the immediate boss. In front of him, the dragon has to be coiled and the tiger has to lie down! No matter how unconvinced you are, you must abide by the basic rules of superiors and subordinates.
"I don't think I need to say more about who I am, Chen Xing. You already know it very clearly through newspaper news and many friends and colleagues."
"Don't ask me if I dare to do it. There is nothing that I, Chen Xing, dare not do!"
"I went from being a mercenary at the lowest level to where I am today step by step. The hardships and difficulties I have experienced will only be more than you, not less!"
"Don't think that just because you have some skills, you can show off your power and show off in front of me!"
"I tell you, there is no army in this ice blue city that I, Chen Xing, cannot command!"
Chen Xing slapped the Kingdom Ring in front of Garfield and said viciously, "If there is one, let it disappear!"
"Disappear, understand!"
Chen Xing sprayed the legion commander's face with saliva, but the latter's anger gradually subsided.
After a long silence, Garfield said in a calm voice, "Prime Minister, let's make a deal."
Seeing Garfield's change of attitude, Chen Xing stopped getting angry and sat down again, "Let's talk about it."
