"You said 'we'," Winters asked keenly, "So, can I understand that--you have discussed it with Colonel Skur and Lieutenant Colonel Magash?"

"Discussed? What's there to discuss?" Gaisa narrowed her eyes and replied in a bold voice, "As long as you agree, I agree, it's okay? It's useless if anyone objected."

Winters understood that Colonel Geisa had neither obtained the consent of Colonel Skur and Lieutenant Colonel Magash nor intended to obtain the consent of the other two in advance.

He tactfully opposed this, "Important decisions should be fully discussed before making them."

Geisa made a contemptuous gesture, "The more you discuss, the less you can do it! Are you not a Venetta? You should know the principle of 'thing is accomplished by secret'!"

"Even the Venettas are just discussing secretly, not without discussion," Winters is immune to regional discrimination and fights back, "You probably haven't seen how the Aquarius elects the consul."

Colonel Geisa encountered a soft nail and was a little annoyed, but he also knew that it would be difficult to convince the stubborn horse in front of him if he didn't take out some truth today.

"This matter is not to be discussed at all," Gaisa frowned and said in a positive tone, "That little guy Magash must not agree. He disagrees, and that old guy Skur can only disagree.

"Anyway, they all disagree. Anyway, they have to vote in the end. What is the need for discussion? If you want to accomplish this, you have to attack suddenly and make the final decision. What's the use of discussing in advance will make them be prepared?"

"Why are you so sure that they must not agree?"

"Why?" Colonel Geisa smiled relievedly. He changed his seat to a more comfortable position, poured himself a glass of bitter beer, suddenly changed the topic, and asked without hesitation, "You should know that the boy Magash is planning to fight the Northern Footh Province, right?"

Winters honestly replied: "When I was not here, Lieutenant Colonel Magash revealed this intention to Captain Richard Mason."

"Look, he has never 'disclosed' with me. Didn't he also want to launch a surprise attack and force me to be suppressed?" Colonel Geisa smiled sly, "But even if he didn't say anything, I knew he wanted to attack the Northern Foothing Province. And I also knew... there was no need to attack the Northern Foothing Province at all."

"Um?"

Glanced Winters' puzzled expression, Colonel Geisa felt a little happy in his heart. He smacked his lips, "You, you still know nothing about the weight of the surname "Magash".

"That was a surname that had fought with Richard IV for the throne of Duke Paratus, the surname of the 'White Knight'.

"Now, Grove Magnus has made himself hateful, and the army in the Kings Castle is only the old, weak, sick and disabled..."

Colonel Geisa's eyes were bright and asserted: "It is not impossible to directly change the flag and flag of the Northern Footh Provincial Province with the prestige and management of the Northern Footh Provincial Province."

Winters nodded slightly.

"Boy, you might as well guess." Colonel Geisa asked meaningfully, "Since you can change the northern provinces without bloodshed, why did Magash Korwin still want to 'attack' the northern provinces?"

"Because the uprising is not considered a military merit, surrender is considered a." Winters replied calmly.

"Yes," Colonel Geisa snapped his fingers and shaved Winters with a smile, "Don't you quite understand?"

The next second, Colonel Geisa changed his face, put away his smile, and said seriously: "Magash Korwin, when we went to find the main force of the pseudo-Xinken Land Legion, he stayed in Bianjiang County and said he was guarding Bianshan Fort, but in fact he was hiding.

"He must have never thought that the result of the battle in the Hangu Village would be so great. He would not have thought that we could reach the point of establishing our own business and have the opportunity to become the new masters of the Racing Horse Country."

"So, he is very anxious now. His absence from the Battle of Kawakura Village means that he will automatically lose the qualification to compete for the "first saber".

"He must use another great achievement to carry himself back to the competition - conquering the northern provinces, I think it's good."

Winters frowned when he heard this.

A kind of fierceness that was unique to the Palatus appeared on Gaisa Adonis's face. His sword-brows stood up and he said indisputably: "This kid is too selfish! He is even heavier than me! You must not let him take the first sabre! Otherwise, the bad things that are bullshit in the Red Rose and Blue Blood Sect will definitely do it again!"

Captain Geisa stood up, put his waist on his back, paced back and forth in the lounge like a beast trapped in a cage, and said lyricically:

"I thought about it all the time. It's the best thing you can do to get this first saber!

"Although you have little experience, you have outstanding military achievements; although you are young, you have fair work; you are not from Paratu, but because of this, you will not be hindered by your relatives and friends; I can trust your character, too."

Winters listened attentively, but he didn't say anything.

Colonel Geisa stopped, looked at Winters, raised a finger, and said firmly: "The most important thing is that it is useless to have me support you!"

"I believe this." Winters finally broke his silence.

Colonel Geisa nodded with satisfaction, sat back on the chair next to Winters, and said with a heart-warming voice, "So, no matter how difficult it is, we have to fight the Kings Castle first. Take the Kings Castle and the overall situation will be decided. The remaining edges and corners are irrelevant."

"The Kings Castles are not that easy to fight." Winters' attitude was still very rational.

Colonel Geisa glared at Winters, "Where is a good war in the world?"

Winters was not here to debate with Colonel Geisa, so he didn't say anything more.

"As for the 'pets' you keep in the buffer zone, you can do whatever you want," Colonel Geisa picked up the wine glass, turned his eyes away, looked out the window, and talked to himself, "But there is one thing--don't want the Republic to formally accept them, at least not now. Everything else is up to you."

When Winters heard this, Colonel Geisa's price code was already clear.

Geis Adonis and his representative Baishan County faction were willing to support Winters Montane as the commander of the new army, on the condition that the Tiefeng County faction supported Colonel Geis's money-making plan, supported Colonel Geis's plan to attack the Kings Forts, and at the same time gave up the fight for legal status for the new land of the outer land.

To be honest, in Winters' view, this deal is not only not a loss, but it is even hard to be rated as "fair".

Because in order to prevent Lieutenant Colonel Magash from taking office and the Blue Blood Sect's return, Colonel Geisa made a great sacrifice.

As the officer who is most qualified to compete for the No. 1 figure in the New Republic military, Colonel Geisa chose to voluntarily withdraw from the competition and also brought Lieutenant Colonel Magash down.

In contrast, the financial compensation he sought was just a small profit.

However, since it is still in the negotiation stage, Winters wants to fight for it again.

After all, negotiations are about talking more to make a judgment.

"You said 'Not Now'," Winters asked with a critical scrutiny, "Are you suggesting 'It's OK Later?"

"Let's see again later," Gaisa replied ambiguously, drinking beer.

Winters laughed: "But the sea blue man has an old saying - 'There is no longer anything in the world than temporary tax'. It's not possible now, but it will only be even worse in the future."

"Boy, I'm thinking about your reputation," Colonel Geisa was furious, "Do you know, if you really accept those Heds, how will the old Palatus attack you? You will go from a hero who fights against Heds to a fool who leads wolves into the house overnight, an ambitious man!

"Our enemies, whether internal or external, will make a big fuss about this matter!

"The battle has not been finished yet! Can't you wait?"

Seeing that Colonel Geisa was determined, Winters temporarily put the matter of the new land reclamation aside to avoid backfire.

He changed direction and asked tentatively: "Have you ever considered not to elect the top military leaders? We can continue to make collective decisions in the form of a committee. In this way, many problems are not problems."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Colonel Geisa was really angry this time, "The army is not a messy peer guild! The army is the place that determines the life and death of thousands of people! There can only be one head in the army! Do I need to teach you this?!

"The reason why we are trapped in Fengshi City now, restraining each other and unable to move is because we have lost that 'head'!"

The more Colonel Geisa spoke, the louder the voice became, the more excited he was: "If Colonel Bode was still there, we would have made a big move into the castle! Is there any need to argue here?"

"But if Bod Gates is gone, no one can convince the public!" Colonel Ghasa's eyes surged with the ruthlessness and bruteness that was unique to the Paratus, "Since that's the case, then speak with strength! It is also a fairness to speak with strength! It is the most fairest to speak with strength!"

"But this fairness," Winters' voice was cold and plain, "it probably wouldn't lead to the results that Colonel Bode wants to see."

"What can I do?" Geisa's expression was tired and sad. "If you want to blame, you can only blame that old ghost Bode for dying too early."

[Blue Shicheng Suburbs]

[Magash Palace]

[noon]

Although Magash Korwin was also assigned to a school-official apartment in the Officer's Residence in Maple Rock City, he only lived there for a few days and soon moved to another manor located outside the city under his name.

Unlike the house of Ghasa, Lieutenant Colonel Magash's home is full of guests.

The visitor's carriage was parked half of the courtyard. If he didn't know, he thought that a dance party was being held in Magash's mansion.

The small waiting halls on both sides of the foyer were filled with well-dressed guests, all waiting for the host's invitation.

It has to be said that Magash Korwin is much more popular among the upper class citizens of Maple Stone than the literal "abhorrent" Geisa Adonis.

If we press the first and then arrive, Winters would probably not see Lieutenant Colonel Magash until dark.

Fortunately, he was not an ordinary guest - the dignified "Wolf Blood" arrived, and Lieutenant Colonel Magash went out to greet him immediately, which not only gave the blood wolf enough face, but also allowed the guests in the waiting room to take a closer look.

"I finally understand why you moved out of the officer's dormitory," Winters, who was welcomed into the inner room, carefully observed the portraits in the corridor. "So many guests are indeed a bigger place."

"Stay in the city, people come and go, afraid of disturbing the purity of others." Lieutenant Colonel Magash, who was walking in front, pushed open a door at the end of the corridor with a usual kind smile on his face, "Come here."

Inside the door is a very quiet study and living room, with the desk placed by the window, and the rest of the space is occupied by a fireplace and a pair of soft couches in front of the fireplace.

There is a portrait of military uniform hanging on the fireplace. The person in the painting is three-point similar to Lieutenant Colonel Magash, but from the shape of the armor, he should be a figure from the imperial era.

Compared to the magnificent decoration outside, this small reception room is simple - but compared with the outside, the soft couch, desk and cabinets in the small reception room are impeccable in the workmanship and materials.

"This study is simple," Winters half-truely complimented.

The magnificence in the eyes of the Paratu people is undoubtedly too much or too little in the eyes of the Sea Blue people.

Even if Winters has never eaten much, he has seen the sea blue man.

On the contrary, this small living room improved Winters' evaluation of Lieutenant Colonel Magash's taste more than a little.

"There is a place for people to see outside," said Lieutenant Colonel Magash with a smile. "This is the place for the serious matters-what do you want to drink? Captain Montane."

"Just water."

"I just don't have water here," Lieutenant Colonel Magash apologized to open the wine cabinet. "I forgot that you casters don't drink."

Winters smiled implicitly.

Lieutenant Colonel Magash pressed the bell on the table, and an old servant, not the orderly, pushed open the door.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Captain Montane wants to drink water," Lieutenant Colonel Magash whispered.

The old servant nodded and closed the door quietly.
