While the dinner was in progress, there was a sudden call from South Virginia. It was General Dönitz who had convened an emergency military meeting, scheduled for ten o'clock in the evening.
Lu Ming left immediately and left Suoloo at her parents' house, asking her to stay a little longer and that he would come back to pick her up.
There are more than 80 kilometers of asphalt road from Star City to Southern Fornia.
More than an hour later, Lu Ming entered the conference room of the First Control Branch.
General Dönitz was not there, saying he had gone to the airport to pick someone up.
Following him were three of his closest confidants: Ermeli, Director of the Military Police Division, Philippe, Director of the Operations Division, and Merkel, Director of the General Affairs Division.
In addition, the Intelligence Department is also extremely important. I heard that the director of the Intelligence Department is appointed by the higher authorities. Therefore, although Miss Candice is not considered a close associate of General Dönitz, she also went to the station to pick up people. It seems that she is not Dönitz.
The notification was sent to Miss Candice from the headquarters.
The rest of the officers who had arrived were sitting and waiting silently, no one was talking to each other, some closed their eyes to relax, and some drank coffee silently.
On the other side of the long conference table facing Lu Ming was Hendry. At this time, he said with a smile: "Bit, I heard that you went to Star City? That is Commander Irving's wife's house, right? The one who brought Irving.
Did you go with your wife?"
Some directors could not help but have ambiguous smiles on their faces.
Lu Ming knew that in the First Control local branch, his reputation was probably quite lecherous.
He picked up the cup and drank coffee, completely ignoring Hendry.
Hendry's face darkened slightly and he snorted coldly.
Sitting next to Lu Ming was Sidler, the director of the Eighth Department, the Training Department, a gray-haired old man.
He has a very greedy character, and he has become very close to Lu Ming recently. Lu Ming asked him to provide teaching materials to train the police force, and they also applied for special training funds together, and the two of them made a fortune from their cooperation.
Lu Ming also gradually felt that Sonia's finances were really rich, but if he kept going like this, he didn't know what would happen in the future.
At this time, Sidler pinched Lu Ming's shoulder and winked at Lu Ming, naturally meaning not to be like this young soldier.
Lu Ming didn't say anything. He drank all the coffee in his cup and leaned on his chair with his eyes closed to relax. In fact, he took the time to go to Montenegro to deal with some matters.
After the clock on the wall struck ten o'clock, nearly half an hour passed. There were chaotic footsteps outside. Ermeli, Philip, Candice and Merkel came in and sat down in their seats.
.
Lu Ming winked at Candice, but Candice just pretended not to notice.
The door suddenly opened again, and Dönitz's voice said: "Is everyone here?"
All the division chiefs immediately stood up.
Two people walked in from the outside, Dönitz in front. Walking behind Dönitz was a young man in his twenties or eighties. He was very handsome, but his face was very pale and his body was very weak, but he was clearly a major general.
The military uniform is one level higher than that of Brigadier General Dönitz.
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Major General Rommel from the headquarters! We welcome you!" Dönitz took the lead in applauding.
The ten division directors and the office director applauded enthusiastically.
Lu Ming observed everyone's expressions. Except for the four division chiefs who accompanied Dönitz to the airport to pick him up, the rest of the division chiefs had some confusion and surprise on their faces.
Obviously, no one knew there was such a young major general in the headquarters before.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" Rommel said with arrogance on his face and naturally took the main seat. Dönitz's expression remained normal, he moved his chair and sat slightly to the side.
"Everyone..." As soon as he spoke, Rommel started coughing, took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth, making gestures to Dönitz to tell Dönitz to speak, and he coughed as if his lungs were about to come out.
Everyone looked at each other, probably thinking, where did such a consumptive man come from?
Dönitz waited for him to stop coughing, and then said: "Everyone, General Rommel has been working very hard on the Reston Plan recently and has caught a cold. This time he flew to Southern Virginia to ensure that the Reston Plan can be implemented smoothly.
I came here to preside over the overall situation in this district!..."
Dönitz wanted to say more, but Rommel leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, and then coughed softly.
A hint of impatience flashed in Dönitz's eyes, but he still smiled and said: "Okay, everyone, take a break for now. In ten minutes, we will go to Conference Room 3 to have a private discussion with General Rommel. Now let's adjourn!"
All the directors felt strange in their hearts, but they all sat quietly.
After Dönitz and Rommel left, someone started talking quietly.
Lu Ming waved to Merkel, "Let's go, order some Huazi!" "Huazi" is pronounced in Chinese.
Merkel didn't know why Lu Ming called cigarettes "Huazi", but she thought it was funny and followed Lu Ming's call.
The two came to the back door of the conference room. Merkel took a cigarette and they lit it.
Bit was a smoker, and Lu Ming later decided to use Bit's identity to lurk before asking his own intelligence officers to investigate his living habits.
Moreover, Lu Ming found that sometimes smokers tend to have topics to talk about, and a lot of information can be obtained inadvertently.
"General Rommel doesn't look very old?" Lu Ming puffed and asked curiously.
Merkel showed a hint of disdain on her face and waved her hands, not wanting to talk about him.
Lu Ming stopped asking.
Merkel soon couldn't hold it any longer and laughed and scolded: "You kid, you are obviously not an agent, but you are an agent. I'm waiting for you to continue asking!"
Lu Ming spread his hands.
Merkel lowered her voice: "I can't help it. This guy has a great background. General Dönitz didn't even dare to talk about it casually. I heard General Dönitz chatting with him in the car. It seems that this guy's nickname is Silver Fox. He is very powerful.
.”
"Oh, Silver Fox?" Lu Ming was helpless, it was indeed a parallel world, very weird.
"However, General Dönitz doesn't say anything, but I despise them in my heart! Do you know? This guy is a man who sees the crystal ball and says he can see the future!" Merkel curled her lips, "
I really don’t know what went wrong with the higher-ups, so why would they trust a magician?”
Lu Ming was slightly shocked in his heart.
Merkel's voice was even lower. "Guess what? It turns out that the Reston Plan has always been a big deal. It has been said to be implemented, but it has been delayed. This guy looked at the crystal ball and said there will be problems."
"Oh? What's the problem?" Lu Ming didn't pretend to be pretentious, everyone would be very curious.
"I said I saw this guy more than a dozen times, and I was sick to death from seeing this guy. I couldn't see anything in the front, I just knew something would go wrong. The last time, I said I saw it, the train would explode in our southern Virginia!"
Merkel's face was full of disdain when she spoke, and she naturally did not believe in any crystal ball prophecies.
"Ah?" Lu Ming thought quickly in his mind. It turned out that the Risdon Project had something to do with trains.
"That's so awesome. How did it explode? Oh, the Risdon Project is an advanced train?" Lu Ming asked.
"How did it explode? Who knows!" Merkel sneered.
Lu Ming put out his cigarette butt and pondered: "Can His Majesty the King become the Great Emperor in the end? Can he see the future? Is the outcome already determined?"
Merkel pouted: "The theory of these magicians is that everything can change, so the picture you see this time may be different from the picture you see next time, and no one in the world can see that kind of general trend clearly, because
There are too many variables, haha. This theory is perfect, right? It’s completely nonsense! It’s not that I’m not sure, it’s that there are variables, haha!”
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.
Merkel also felt that her voice was a little too loud, so she took out her cigarette again, "Stop talking, let's smoke another one!" She glanced at Lu Ming: "He and Director Candice are old acquaintances. I heard that he and Kan
Chat with Director Dis. He has pursued Director Candice before and has never gotten married. It seems that he hasn’t given up yet. Be careful!"
Lu Ming was startled for a moment and nodded silently.
