"Instruct all ministries to step up their guard! The chief officers above the command regiment and the heads of all administrative departments will report to my camp immediately! You leave five people and guard here. No one is allowed to enter without my permission!" Cook ordered calmly. road.
When several soldiers saw Cook's body covered in blood, they couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts, but they didn't dare to disobey the order and went immediately after hearing the order.
The fat man and others who followed him secretly raised their fingers when they saw that Cook was calm and calm and had the demeanor of a general.
"Master Mai, why is there going to be a war over at the Holy Castle? Didn't you say that it has been arranged?" Ai Min approached the fat man and asked in a low voice.
Fatty also felt strange about this.
"Serov should have arrived at the Holy Castle early. Could it be that things have changed?" he thought in his mind, but an enigmatic smile appeared on his face.
"General Cook, we have just arrived at Zudai and are not very familiar with the situation here! When were the troops of the Holy Fort assembled? What were their movements in the past few days? Have you detected accurate information?" The fat man asked calmly.
"Sir, the troops of the Holy Castle should have been assembled three days ago. We originally thought they would launch an attack soon, but there was no movement from the other side. Such large-scale military mobilization has never happened before. Yes." Cook replied respectfully.
He obviously already knew the identity of fat Su Lier, the military and political adviser, so he started calling him "sir."
And this "Sir" also shows Cook's recognition of Templeton's identity.
Mr. Mai has never held such a high-ranking official position. Hearing the majestic general call him this way, he was already happy.
"Hahaha..." Fatty laughed happily, only to realize that his laughter was a bit abrupt.
He quickly straightened his face and asked: "There is a big river between the Holy Castle and the ancestors. If the other side launches an attack, will they first build a pontoon bridge? They can't force the crossing by boat, right?!"
Anyone who is familiar with Mr. Mai knows this guy's virtues, and they all smile when they see his ecstatic look.
Cook, however, was a little dizzy because of the fat man's serious and playful behavior, and became more and more cautious.
Hearing this, he hurriedly replied: "We in the Eastern Region have never fought against the Rus, but I think if they really plan to take action, they will attack with long-distance weapons first and take this opportunity to build a pontoon bridge. If they Crossing the river by boat will cause a lot of casualties. Moreover, we have not detected any signs that they have prepared a boat."
"Indeed, I just took a look and the troops they are sending out now are equipped with long-range attack weapons." Dempla interjected.
Fatty suddenly found that he was taking the spotlight.
He deliberately took half a step back, let "Admiral Golden Tiger" in front of him, and asked respectfully: "General Templeton, according to the current situation, what do you think of the next step?"
Seeing this, Cook also focused his attention on Templeton, wanting to see how the new Lord of the East would perform.
Of course, Templeton understood the fat man's intentions. Now that he had been put in this position, no matter whether he wanted to or not, he had no choice but to follow the trend.
"Our real enemy is in Masak. It is best to avoid this battle with the Holy Castle. But if the other party provokes them first, it might as well teach them a lesson. However, my identity here has not been made public. In order to avoid changing the situation on the spot, It will arouse everyone's doubts, and it is not convenient to directly lead the army in the Eastern Region for the time being. Therefore, for the specific operation, it is better for you, General Cook, to come forward!" Dempla pondered briefly and said solemnly.
Seeing that Templeton had set the tone for operations in the Eastern Region and showed full respect for himself, Cook was deeply moved.
He is not a sloppy person, and he fully feels the difficulties that the Eastern Region will face. Hearing this, he immediately said: "My identity has not been disclosed yet. Since you are the eldest brother of the prince, you will be the boss of our brothers in the Eastern Region from now on. Here, Everyone is very united and there are not so many tricks! Come on, let’s go meet them now!”
After Cook finished speaking, he stopped listening to Templer's explanation and invited everyone to his camp.
Both Fatty and Ai Min felt that it was a bit hasty to meet with the officials from the Eastern Region at this moment, but they thought that this hurdle would be passed sooner or later, so they no longer stopped them.
Although Deng PuLa was a military commander, he grew up in the palace and had been with Capricorn Tong for a long time. He was accustomed to intrigues and tricks, and he was not just a straightforward warrior with a passionate heart.
He knew that it would not be that simple to take over the Eastern Region with just an unfounded last word.
But since Cook insists again and again, if he continues to shirk, he may be looked down upon by the other party.
How can you convince everyone if you don't even dare to meet him in person?
If you want to be the lord of the Eastern Region, how can you retreat despite the difficulties?
In the face of the ruthless truth, Temple's mentality has undergone tremendous changes. He has his own plan. He will use this opportunity to wash away the shame and regain the honor of the family.
Spurred by this idea, Templeton agreed to Cook's suggestion.
At this moment, senior officials from both the military and political parties of Suriel have arrived, waiting for Cook and Jeans to take charge of the overall situation.
These people obviously already knew the news that the Holy Castle was preparing to launch an attack, and the atmosphere seemed depressing and tense.
When they discovered that Cook was the only one who came, but Genes was not there, and instead there were a few new faces, their uneasiness and doubts became even greater, and whispers suddenly sounded in the big tent.
"Everyone, let me announce three things. The person behind the murder of Prince Scott has been identified and it was the McCann people. Chief of Staff Jeans, in order to find out the truth, was unfortunately killed by McCann's assassin just now. According to According to the last wish of Prince Scott, from now on, Admiral Templeton next to me will take charge of the Eastern Region!" As soon as Cook opened his mouth, he dropped three bombshell news.
This was great, the big tent, which was not quiet at first, suddenly exploded.
All the officials in the Eastern Territory were shocked and had different reactions.
Some people cry bitterly, stamp their feet and beat their chests; some people have tears in their eyes and keep silent; some people are panicked and confused; some people avoid looking and have evil intentions...
"General! These brothers in the Eastern Region don't seem to be on the same page! Moreover, they seem to have a lot of tricks up their sleeves! However, if you want to establish your authority, this is also an opportunity!" Ai Min said to the man standing in front of him. Temple whispered.
The fat man was standing very close to Emin and happened to hear what he said.
"Well! Emin is starting to get into her own role!" Fatty thought to himself.
"Quiet! How unbecoming is it to make such noise!" Cook saw this and shouted loudly.
There was a fever on his face, but he didn't expect that these guys would come to him just after boasting that people were united.
"General! You said that the Prince was murdered by the McCanns. Do you have any conclusive evidence? The Prince has always had a harmonious relationship with the McCanns, so how could he be harmed by them? Was there any misunderstanding during this period?" A man dressed as a civilian official The middle-aged man stood out from the crowd and asked in a deep voice.
As soon as this person spoke, the scene became quiet. It was obvious that this guy was quite prestigious in the Eastern Region.
Cook has always been in charge of the military, and Jeans is responsible for most of the communication with the administration.
He also realized something was wrong at this time. There was a commotion just now, with intense emotions, and those who vowed revenge were basically military personnel. Most of the people with dissatisfied faces and suspicious eyes were administrative officials.
The one who stood up to ask questions now was none other than Lu Man, the highest administrative official in the Eastern Region under Jeans.
This person has been at odds with the military for a long time, and it is only through Jeans' mediation that everything can be settled.
However, this Luman has a very close relationship with the Eastern Region Chamber of Commerce headed by McCann.
"Hey! It's a pity that Philip ran away! If we could catch him, all these problems could be solved!" the fat man thought depressingly.
He thought, rolled his eyes, and then bit the ears of Xuan Xing and Miao Chun beside him for a while.
The two men nodded frequently, quietly turned around, and exited the tent.
