Chapter 150: The highest state of left hand hitting right hand
Chapter 866 The highest level of left hand hitting right hand
The day before the envoys from the East Grifenni Kingdom and the Tianhan Empire arrived at Banshan Castle, Dumas and all cabinet members announced their resignation. Before the general election a month later, the shadow cabinet composed of the opposition parties temporarily served as the remaining cabinet.
.
At the same time, the Privy Council awarded General Bute the title of Field Marshal of the Kingdom in the name of Henry II, and also served as the temporary commander-in-chief of the kingdom's highest armed forces.
"Marshal", however, has long become a false title and an honorary title in the imperial military circles. For hundreds of years, no five-star general has had enough merit and prestige to receive such an honorable title.
The remaining cabinet subsequently approved Marshal Bit's report on the organizational reform and related authorities of the General Staff.
According to this proposal, there is no doubt that the General Staff will become the highest leadership organization of the Kingdom’s armed forces.
General Cheney, the Army Chief, and Douglas, the Air Force Commander, both serve as deputy chiefs of the General Staff.
The next day, the huge East Grifenni delegation and the Tianhan Empire delegation arrived at Banshan Fort.
The standards of both delegations are extremely high. The delegation of the Kingdom of East Grifenni is headed by the Deputy Prime Minister Lord Helson.
Lord Helson is a close friend of Waterman, the current Prime Minister of East Greyfinni. He is also a highly prestigious politician and is considered to be the new Prime Minister who will be elected in two years.
The East Grifenni delegation, headed by him, can be regarded as the embodiment of the will of the highest level to common people in the East Grifenni region.
Waterman, the current prime minister of the East Grifenni Kingdom, is an old acquaintance of Lu Ming.
When fighting against the Sonia invasion more than ten years ago, Waterman was the commander of the Fourth Army and fought hand in hand with Lu Ming.
Because of his fruitful results in the fight against Sonia's invasion, Waterman's reputation was extremely high. After retiring, he ran for prime minister and was elected with an absolute advantage.
Now, there are still two years until the end of his second term.
Deputy Prime Minister Herson is his close ally and can also be regarded as his chosen successor.
From a political perspective, Herson, as the leader of the delegation, is obviously a sign of confidence and believes that this trip will achieve extremely fruitful results.
The leader of the Northern Empire delegation is the chief secretary of the Imperial Privy Council Secretariat. His name is Zhao Junyu. He is a handsome middle-aged man in his forties with a graceful manner.
Before leaving, he was appointed as the Imperial Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs. Of course, it was obviously just a name.
The legendary emperor of the Northern Empire usually did not interfere in political affairs, but there was no doubt that his personal will was involved in this negotiation.
Although Zhao Junyu is not yet fifty years old, he is already one of the leading benchmark figures in the northern judicial circle.
Fifteen years ago, when he was the judge of Anxi District, he presided over the "Wang Jingmo v. Anxi City Hall Case". It was the first so-called "people sued an official" case after the founding of the Northern Kingdom. At that time, it caused a sensation in the entire northern region and many people in the north.
The beginning of the shattering of traditional concepts.
Lu Ming was in Anxi at that time and attended the lawsuit. From that time on, he remembered the name Zhao Junyu.
However, Lu Ming did not exert any influence on Zhao Junyu's development over the years. He was able to enter the Privy Council Secretariat and serve as chief. He was also recommended by a respected veteran of the Privy Council.
This time, it was Lu Ming who came to Banshan Fort as the leader of the delegation.
As for the United Kingdom, the Security Committee unanimously agreed that Medellin, Prime Minister of the Mid-Levels Region, should serve as its chief representative.
On the first day of the negotiations, Army Chief Dick Cheney resigned from all military positions, and his family seemed to have left for the East China Sea that night.
…
On the night Cheney left the capital, the Security Committee held another video and telephone conference.
The military giants on the TV screen have complicated emotions.
Including the Security Committee, the current situation seems to have become clear. Bit has taken charge of the entire army and has become the number one person in the military circles of the United Kingdom.
Speaking of which, the royal family and Dumas were forced to make this choice. Everyone here was Bit's accomplice at that time.
But no one could have imagined that the situation would develop like this.
Even General Dickens, the commander of the Second Military Region who clearly expressed his full support for Lu Ming, probably felt uncomfortable at this time.
What he hoped at the time was that the situation in the kingdom would be so chaotic that military leaders like them would be required to take charge of the local political situation, and thus become the kind of warlords that had appeared in the north.
But unexpectedly, Dumas's statement before stepping down and the resolution of the Royal Privy Council maintained the stability of the kingdom.
However, all military power has been temporarily handed over to Bit, which is of course in the best interest of the United Kingdom for now.
However, it is not good news for Dickens, or for all the giants here.
However, if we do not recognize Dumas's statement and the Privy Council's resolution now, not only will we fall out with Bit, but we will also easily be accused of "coup" and "rebellion" by Bit.
"Everyone, although the interim cabinet has granted great power to the General Staff, this is only a temporary measure. Now, especially all our armed forces, must unite, otherwise we will lose completely at the negotiation table."
Lu Ming shrugged, "Don't worry, if a peace agreement can be reached in the end, everything will return to normal after the election."
"The commander-in-chief is worrying too much!" The speaker was General Brown, the commander of the First Military Region. He smiled, "The first military region will definitely support the work of the General Staff. I personally also look forward to what the commander-in-chief will give us after he takes charge of the military affairs of the United Kingdom.
A welcome change.”
Seeing Admiral Brown's statement, the others also expressed compliments.
Dickens sighed deeply in his heart, but there was a look of joy on his old face, "Dumas did a good job in the end, and he took the overall situation into consideration. Commander, you are in charge of the military affairs of the entire army. From officers to soldiers, you finally have peace of mind."
pill!"
Lu Ming looked at everyone expressing their intention of surrender and felt strange in his heart. He had seen this kind of scene too many times. In the continent of the empire, it was normal for the most powerful people to surrender to themselves.
But he often became the leader of the highest armed force of the Sonia Kingdom for no apparent reason.
When I transformed into Bit and joined the Kingdom of Sonia, I really didn't have such ambitions.
How should I put it, even if I just stand up and support the republic, it is not impossible to depose the Sonia royal family.
Let's just say that these military leaders on the TV screen have already raised their ambitions because of the chaos of the situation. If they make the Kingdom of Sonia even more chaotic, most of them will support it.
But inexplicably, he has reached the highest position that can determine the fate of the Sonia Kingdom.
Like many times in the past, it seemed that the left hand was fighting the right hand again. In the past, it was mostly small local disputes, including reforms in the imperial areas. I usually watched with a cold eye the fights between my own subordinates but with different lines.
But now, the left hand fighting the right hand has risen to the world situation.
I gradually became familiar with this absurd situation.
