The car drove out from the Enclave Embassy in Mexico. Marshall was sitting in the car and was quite embarrassed. He was ordered to go to the State Guesthouse to talk to Governor Alfonso. This was a policy that did not require reaching any agreement. He only needed to show up to chat and conduct preliminary discussions.
Easy to understand.
This job is not easy to get. Marshall was recommended because of his good relationship with his colleagues. The most important thing is that currently only the Diego family in Mexico City has a relatively sufficient supply of supplies. Going to the State Guesthouse for a big meal is not a good idea.
A beautiful job that many people dream about.
Normally, the Enclave staff in Mexico City would not be in such a miserable condition, but in fact this is all due to the war - the Enclave itself has a huge population to feed, and it can only export industrial products, while agricultural products also need to be imported in large quantities.
.
Not to mention the Diego regime in Mexico, which exports a large amount of mineral products and imports industrial and agricultural products. Industrial products can still rely on the Enclave, but who can agricultural products rely on?
The only ones exporting agricultural products these days are those with a relatively small population. Behind the scenes, there are army commanders with bugs who come out and bring a large amount of ultra-low-value food to raise pigs and chickens. There are also a large number of hard-working and willing agricultural people working hard to farm the Aurora.
Legion.
Now that the Yucatan Strait is blocked, the Aurora Legion's food cannot be exported, and its own citizens have a feast. The Enclave's territory is large and it can hold it. Only Mexico, a rotten bag of shit, is starving everywhere, and even
All Enclave personnel in Mexico suffered the same fate.
The war in the Yucatan Peninsula requisitioned a large amount of supplies, including food. The war caused food prices in Mexico City to rise all the way. The dignitaries of the Diego family also hoarded the money from it, making it hard for people like Marshall to support their families.
All are hungry.
When the colleague who came to report said that he could have a meal at the State Guesthouse, he specifically mentioned the scene where he had eaten barbecue, noodles, and cakes at the State Guesthouse. As a result, the vivid description made Marshall's whole family feel hungry.
The reason why Marshall was embarrassed was that not only did he go to eat by himself, but now his wife, children, and even a maid were traveling with him in the car. Before setting off, the maid knelt down and begged that she only needed a small bite, and said that she
I have been hungry for several days.
The whole family went to grab a meal, which made Marshall, who had always been proud of himself, feel red. But reality did not allow him to lose face, so he had no choice but to get in the car and go together.
When he arrived at the State Guesthouse, Marshall found the hotel staff and told him that he had an appointment with Governor Alfonso who lived here. The hotel staff glanced at the large family he had brought with him with a professional smile and a sarcastic look on his lips.
of arc.
The other party's smile made Marshall's face burn. He not only brought a secretary, but also a whole family of men and women, tall and short. It was obvious that he was here to feed a wealthy family.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and inform you. You can take your entourage to the side hall to sit for a while. We have some pastries to supply." The person from the State Guesthouse said in a formal way, when the word 'pastry' was said.
, Marshall clearly heard his child's stomach growling.
The Marshall family went to the side hall of the hotel, and the staff reported the news to Governor Alfonso. The Governor was playing hide-and-seek in the bedroom with two beautiful maids, and he was a little unhappy when he heard the old butler's report.
After waving the maid away, Governor Alfonso took off the hide-and-seek blindfold on his head and asked, "The Enclave sent someone here so soon? I thought they would have to respond tomorrow."
"Yes." The old butler nodded, "The person's name is Alfred Marshall, and he is the Enclave's Commercial Counselor in Mexico."
Phew..., Governor 'Alfonso' was drinking water. When he heard the name, he immediately asked: "Who..., Alfred Marshall? Is he a guy in his fifties or sixties? White hair, old handsome guy.
That kind of thing.”
Zhou Qingfeng retrieved Marshall's ID photo from the armband computer. The old housekeeper looked at it carefully and then went to verify it himself. He came back after a while and replied, "Yes, that's the person."
Damn it, why did my military intelligence director come here?
"This Mr. Marshall doesn't seem to be here for investigation or anything, it seems like... he has brought a family here to share the meal." The old housekeeper observed carefully, "The hotel provides some free food to outside visitors.
"
'Alfonso' scratched his head and said, "I can hide this from others, but I can't hide it from Marshall."
The reason why Alfred Marshall was appointed as the director of military intelligence was that there was no one else available under the regimental commander, and that Marshall was calm and careful. This veteran artillery officer was rational, well-organized, and good at
Peel away the cocoon and discover the problem.
Facts have proved that the commander of the Corps did not choose the wrong person. The intelligence system built by Marshall ensured the normal development of the Corps. After he left, the work efficiency of the Military Intelligence Bureau was greatly reduced, and no one has yet been found to replace him.
"Marshall is a very shrewd man. He used to be my intelligence chief and is too familiar with me. I won't see him. You can find any reason to send him away." 'Alfonso' waved to the old butler, "
Let the Enclave be replaced by someone stupider."
The old butler nodded, and the news spread all the way back to the side hall of the hotel. At this time, the Marshall family had just wiped out several plates of desserts at super-light speed. The whole family had just started appetizing and was not full. They were waiting for more food. But
What they were waiting for was an eviction order from the hotel.
"Governor Alfonso said that he did not want to meet with the Enclave personnel who have no diplomatic etiquette. He asked you and your entourage to leave immediately. Please change a more formal diplomat to talk to him tomorrow." Someone from the hotel came to the table.
, gave the Marshall family a heads-up.
Marshall's expression instantly became astonished, and his face turned red at first, and then turned pale again. He was so ashamed by these harsh words that his head drooped, and it took him a while to stand up weakly, his hands and feet were shaking.
"I'm sorry, I..., I did go too far." Marshall is not young anymore, and he is being ridiculed mercilessly at this moment, and his old face has nowhere to go. And his family members are also embarrassed to death, and they can only stand up silently.
,Depression.
"Let's go." Marshall reached out and pulled his wife and children, "I'm sorry, dear. I let you down."
Marshall's wife gently gave her husband a hug and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Don't worry, we will get through it. It's a bit embarrassing, but we know you tried your best."
The family walked out hand in hand, everyone with smiles on their faces, trying not to let tears fall, let alone let others see the sadness in their hearts.
And when the big family walked out of the door of the State Guesthouse, someone suddenly approached from the side and whispered: "Director Marshall, my master has changed his mind. He wants to see you."
No one has called for the position of director for a long time. Marshall turned his head and stared at the person for a long time. His wife quickly stepped forward to hold hands and asked warily: "Honey, what happened?"
Marshall's body was shaking a little. He broke away from his wife's arm and said with a trembling voice: "I may be going to meet a big shot. I can't miss this opportunity."
