Located in the office of the Middle East Commander in the West Pentagon in Abraham, Admiral Gawaine looked through the flames at the young man not far away who was playing with a sailboat model with a carefree expression.
"Michael Wood! Is this your answer? Is this the reason why you disobeyed military orders and attacked Nasawa City without permission?"
"What else could I do in the situation at that time? Mr. General, if Said Abdul is arrested by the Republic of South Babylon, it will be an international scandal. At that time, it was not only me, but also Mr. General
You will all be blown to pieces by this bomb! Unlike you, several people from the CIA highly appreciate my decisiveness."
"That's because they don't have to bear the pressure on the president."
General Gawaine had almost chewed the end of his cigar into crumbs: "You can wait until twelve hours later for us to complete the application for attack. Instead of doing this like now, the Army Chief of Staff almost photographed the document.
On my face."
"Twelve hours from now? Who knows what will happen?"
Michael Wood laughed and walked to Admiral Gavin and sat down: "Mr. Admiral, I am wrong about this matter now, but you also know that the situation was very urgent, right? That is not an unforgivable thing.
."
"But what about your robbery in Nasawa City? Someone reported it to the Office of the Inspector General, proving that at least 900 million gold shields in cash and gold were pocketed by you and some officers of the 7th Brigade."
"Nothing."
There was no trace of shame on Michael Wood's face, which was too young for a legend: "This is a humiliation to me! Mr. General, as far as I know, they don't have any evidence against the CIA.
Mr. Inspector General also vouched for me."
"But we all know what's going on!"
Admiral Gawain's face was uncertain, and finally he sneered: "Do you think that after such a principled mistake occurs, you can still pretend that nothing happened?"
He then handed a document to Michael Wood. After the latter took it in his hand, he only glanced at it and raised his eyebrows: "Transfer order? He returned to the Pentagon a month later and was promoted and demoted again.
Set? This is not fair to me."
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."
General Gawain threw the chewed cigar directly into the trash can: "The people responsible for the promotion of generals are the civilian bureaucrats in this building, and now, you have offended them badly. I suggest
You'd better lie dormant for a while until they think you've been tamed."

Three minutes later, when Major General Michael Wood walked out of the Middle East Commander's office, his adjutant, Captain Virginia, came up to him immediately. He remained silent and followed step by step. He did not speak until the two of them walked out of the Pentagon.
Asked what happened: "Mr. Major General, it seems that the situation is not good, right? I heard you guys arguing inside, and the whole floor was filled with the roar of General Gawaine."
"It's just a bluff, just for show."
Although Michael said this, there was still a look of helplessness on his face: "In a month, I have to be transferred to the Defense Logistics Agency as the deputy director of the audit department. Shit, what do I know about audit? I have to find a new one.
The boss is here, Virginia."
"Major General? Do you really want to leave the army and leave the 7th Brigade?"
There was a look of sadness and annoyance in Captain Virginia's eyes: "As I said before, Michael, you are doing it too unscrupulously. At least you have to wait until the Joint Chiefs of Staff explicitly authorize it."
"So I deserve it."
Michael Wood's reaction was very bland: "Don't make this look like the sky is falling, okay? In those private companies, I can at least make money openly, many times more than I do now. Do you know? There is a saying in the East:
Seek kindness and be kind, that's how I am now. Do you think there will still be a place for me in the army after that incident? So Virginia, sooner or later I won't be able to stay in the army."
Captain Virginia was helpless. Faced with a boss who was determined to make money as his first priority, he really had no choice but to do anything.
And when he heard the words 'after that incident', his expression darkened slightly. Indeed, as Michael said, this man indeed had no future in the army.
Although Michael saved the lives of 700 soldiers during the emergency three years ago and had a high reputation among the 7th Brigade, he offended many big figures in the Pentagon. In comparison, this time the 7th Brigade attacked Nasdaq without permission.
What Sava City did seemed to be nothing.
Therefore, even though his superior had numerous military exploits and entered the legendary realm at the age of forty-five, he still held the rank of Major General.
"So Michael, have you found your next home now?"
He thought that if his boss really couldn't stay in the army, then he and many of his colleagues would choose to follow him without hesitation.
"A few big companies have invited me, but I didn't agree. Although the salary package they offered was very exciting, the position didn't satisfy me."
Michael Wood shook his head and stepped into his special car: "But I plan to go to Atlanta to have a look. There is a Rising Sun Retail Company over there. They still need a chief security officer."
"Rising Sun Retail Company?"
Captain Virginia's face was full of confusion: "It's such a big company, I've never heard of it?"
"Of course you haven't heard of it. It only started recently. It is said that it just received 900 million gold shields in financing from Michelle Group a few days ago."
Michael Wood raised his hand and took out some newspapers and periodicals from the document bag and handed them to his adjutant: "This is the company I marked."
Virginia flipped through it hastily, and since his boss had already mapped out the key points, he quickly found the corresponding content.
"A company with only dozens of stores, Michael, are you sure? This is inconsistent with your identity. How can I put it? It's like a dragon entering a mouse's nest. You will be laughed at by your colleagues, Major General Mr. Ander.
Lie.
"It's a little bit worse now, but it may not be so in the future."
The corners of Michael Wood's lips twitched slightly: "They operate an electrical appliance chain, bringing together several electrical appliance brands to sell and make a profit. With only the seventeen stores open now, the daily net profit has exceeded six million gold shields.
."
"But I feel like with this model, the competition will be fierce, right?"
Captain Virginia obviously has a sharp vision: "Especially when it comes to off-site expansion. EMM~ I feel that even in Atlanta, if they don't have strong strength, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold."
"That's why they need a strong security director. I plan to go to Atlanta to see it first."
Michael Wood looked at the other newspaper in his hand, the photo of Li Mochen on the headline, with a burning meaning in his eyes: "You know? A friend told me that this little guy named Andre, he has a
The appearance of a king!"
"Huh? Kingly atmosphere?"
Captain Virginia looked confused and completely confused.
