This is the first time Lu Xi has stayed in the Azure Palace for more than half a day.
Of course, in a strict sense, his current official status is actually "Admiral of the Federation Navy, Admiral of the Guards Fleet", etc., but now he lives in the office of Master Russell in a grand manner. Although no one thought there was anything wrong with it, or even thought it was natural, he always had a sense of deja vu as if the military government was standing tall.
Since it has become a military government, let¡¯s be more direct. Lu Xi thought.
Is it because I have become the dictator of the military government that you are under so much pressure? Secret police leaders like Lieutenant General Makarov were a little restless from the moment they entered. Is it because of me or the secretary next to me?
While Lu Xi looked at Makarov, who had his head lowered, with evil eyes, he took a report from the expressionless secretary next to him: "This is the report about Black Man City proposed by Governor Anlos. I have already agreed to the road expansion plan connecting the Green Port of the Principality of Milan. The first project funds will be allocated to the Governor's Palace in Heiman within a week at the latest. Of course, I think, Mr. Anlos, you can take a step closer , for example, the avenue can be directly extended to the south to Huoan Port at the southernmost tip of the Dragon Claw Peninsula, and to the north it can directly pass through the Iron Rock Canyon and connect to the Triumph Dominion. Of course, such a huge project cannot be started in a year or two. Yes, but preliminary exploration work can be done.¡±
Governor Anlos nodded. He didn't ask where the money came from. Anyway, Lu Xi's direct descendants of the Fourth Army were busy ransacking homes every day, and the central finance department was really not short of money for a while.
"Of course, you don't need to deal with these personally. The first thing is to recommend a capable person who can accept your current job." Lu Xi added.
Governor Anlos was startled for a moment, then fell into thinking. He didn't show too much surprise, and said with a smile: "It seems that I won't be able to stay in the position of Governor of Black Man for too long."
"Yes, Mr. Anlos, we have already studied and decided that you will serve as the chief executive of Orso District and the federal minister of the interior."
When Lu Xi said this to Mr. Anlos, the previous federal minister of interior had just been hanged on the highest gallows in Elichar. The head of the Veerambhat family was like a frog whose knees were reacting. His legs were twitching continuously. He struggled for three minutes in front of tens of thousands of people, and then slowly broke off. Out of breath.
Then there was another burst of cheers and applause. Most people don't know why they cheer and applaud. They just know that others are doing it, so they just follow suit.
But everyone in the Azure Palace can¡¯t see all this, and Governor Anlos, who is just an ordinary person, can¡¯t hear it either.
The governor of Black Man City, an administrative boss who has a reputation as a capable official in various countries, is about fifty years old. He has a medium build, a plain appearance, and a simple temperament. He is more like the mayor of a rural town, but that kind of person. The kind who often work in summer. Even the eyes don't have any adjectives such as wise or sharp, they are at best calm and firm.
Of course, Mr. Anlos is an ordinary person. He doesn¡¯t understand magic and doesn¡¯t have any divine connections. His strength can only carry a hoe to plow the fields. But facing Lu Xi, who has already passed through the gate of legend, destroyed the demon, and killed the abyss lord and his colleagues. The old devil's level must be calculated according to the level of extraordinary people, but he had no intention of dodge. He pondered for a while and said: "Then, in what name is this order issued?"
Lu Xi nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"I am a person who decides directly. Your Excellency, I am indeed the most suitable candidate for this position at the moment. As for the Governor of Black Comics, my deputy Mr. Longbo can take over. He was formerly the chief elf engineer of the Eighth Legion, and also An auxiliary soldier who has managed farming. He should be able to do a better job than me when it comes to agricultural reclamation, maintaining public security, and presiding over subsequent trade road expansion projects."
"Well, I've also heard of this guy's reputation and he's trustworthy. Let's just decide." Lu Xi nodded.
¡°And this Mr. Longbo seems to be the cousin of Father Kamcha, the old housekeeper of Rose Island, which makes him even more trustworthy.
This is not nepotism, it¡¯s a matter of internal promotion and not avoiding relatives, really!
??And very soon, the first weird provincial frontier official will appear in the history of the federation and even the countries. This is civilized, beacon and politically correct enough.
Killing three birds with one stone!
Lu Xi values ??Governor Anlos more and more. Without waiting for the official order, he has already prepared various almost perfect follow-up plans. This is the absolute talent of the prime minister!
Then, I heard Anlos say again: "It's just that the Federal Minister of the Interior needs to vote through the Senate and the House of Commons, and the Chief Executive of Orsotian District needs to voteRequires formal appointment by the Federal Governing Council. So, Your Majesty, General, in what capacity are you going to give orders to Owen? "
Yes, strictly speaking, Lu Xi is just an admiral. He is not even the Minister of Military Affairs or the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Command, nor is he even a veteran. In theory, he does not even have the status of a civilian official.
"It may seem a bit hypocritical to say this now, but what the late Master Russell has always pursued is the rationalization of the system. This is the foundation of governing the country. Master Lu Xi, of course you are now qualified to use the power of the sky to I gave the order as a king. You have strength, fame, and support from all countries. All you need is a coronation ceremony. However, a new kingdom is not the goal that I and Master Russell are pursuing."
Before Lu Xi could say anything, Admiral Agrol who was present had already shown a helpless expression of "I knew you were like this", while Lieutenant General Makarov on the other side kept winking at him. However, Governor Anlos seemed not to notice, and continued in a calm tone: "If you have made up your mind to be crowned king, I have no right to objectbut, please allow me to retire. Go home and retire.¡±
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, and everyone was silent, but Lu Xi knew that everyone was waiting for his answer again.
In fact, there are too many people who need this answer, but it was Anlos, a powerless civil servant, who first put it forward.
He really has the style of a national scholar. Lu Xi thought, paused, and motioned to the person behind him to speak.
General Lu Xi Berencaster's chief military secretary has now begun to serve as his political secretary
"Although a considerable number of senators are under review, the Grand Magisters are all lifelong veterans of the Federation. Master Pallon has promised to call for a parliament tomorrow. First, Lu Xi will be awarded the rank of Federal Marshal, and the Learning Alliance will also officially award him The title of Grand Magister. In this capacity, he serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Command and takes over all military command. Then, some members will propose that he reorganize the cabinet and organize a new ruling committee. During the voting process, the country will temporarily enter a state of military control. As for you If so, I will act as Mayor of Elishal."
"To put it bluntly, it's just a formality. Doesn't it sound a bit hypocritical." Lu Xi laughed.
"No, even if it is just a formality, it has gone through reasonable and legal procedures. This is very important. How can it be hypocritical?" Governor Anlos said seriously. He pondered for a moment and seemed to be thinking seriously. After a while, he said: "Then, let's take a step closer and ask you to officially take office as the supreme governor of the federation."
Even Lu Xi was slightly startled. He guessed that someone would definitely make this suggestion - even the admission form was probably written by someone - but he didn't expect that it would be Mr. Anlos who made it.
You, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, hide it so well!
If this word spreads, it is estimated that quite a few politicians will think so.
However, Governor Anlos said calmly: "The last supreme governor of the Federation was Merlo Green, which shows that the Federation has its own rules. Because of the Merlo Rebellion, this true federal supreme head of state was no longer established. , I personally think it is just a hypocritical avoidance. There are too many hypocritical compromises and too many irresponsible avoidances in federal politics. These are naturally caused by the checks and balances of power, but the governance of a country cannot be compromised by this. Abandoned. The current federation needs a stable situation and strong execution capabilities, so that it can carry out all the reforms made by Master Russell during his lifetime. Therefore, it is time to have an upright head of state."
He probably felt that his attitude was a bit too serious, so he forced out a smile and said: "As you know, the ruling committee is not the legal head of state. Legally, it is only the representatives of the elders who discuss matters. In diplomatic situations, according to etiquette, you must ask Auckland The emperor salutes you. I have been unhappy with this for a long time."
The current emperor of Auckland, I put her on the boat, and she can pose in any pose she wants. Lu Xi thought.
??The next Emperor of Auckland, I can spank him casually and no one will dare to say anything. Lu Xi thought again.
"Then, let's do it." Lu Xi agreed directly and decisively. There were no three requests or three resignations, no push and pull, and the top state affairs of the federation for the next five years were decided in such a careless manner.
The reason why it is five years is because Lu Xi has decided to stay in this position for only five years at most. He is not prepared to turn the Federation into a kingdom, nor is he prepared to turn this "Supreme Consul" into a "Dictator for Life" or something like that.
How can the supreme head of state under a republican system be as comfortable as the transnational capitalists who control everything behind the scenes?
While thinking about the happy life in the future, Lu Xi said to Agrol: "The Blue Palace has received the resignation of Marshal Kilins. Although I have persuaded him several times, the old man??It means that the intention to leave has been decided. Then, you can only take over as Minister of War. "
Admiral Agrol, who had just been rescued from imprisonment, did not look particularly weak. He should not have been mistreated, but he looked a little depressed. Hearing this, he just smiled bitterly and said: "The national thieves launched such a rebellion, and I, the military commander, He is also the training director of the Forbidden Army but knows nothing about it. He can only sit back and watch such a catastrophe happen. Even Master Russell Hey, I am already such a stupid and slow old man, so what qualifications do I have to sit in this position? "
"The fearless lion occasionally cannot see the haze around him and is injured by the dirty hyena. You must understand that in the entire federation, you are the only one with the qualifications and popularity to take over this critical task. . You are now in your prime. Even if Master Russell is alive, I don¡¯t want you to waste the next few decades of promising time!"
Agrol showed an excited expression, but hesitated a little. At this time, Lu Xi said again: "In addition, I have asked Marshal Kilins to do one more job before officially retiring and appoint Lai of the First Army. Lieutenant General Walter is the deputy commander of the Military Command and is acting in charge of the work of the Military Command Department."
Lieutenant General Laert is the commander of the First Army, an old subordinate and old friend of Agrol, and a rare civilian veteran of the Federation. Unfortunately, like his old friend, he was imprisoned during the coup, so he fought The soy sauce that caused a whole civil war.
Of course, unlike Lieutenant General Mann, who finally led the Second Army to surrender, this one never surrendered. He even scolded a certain nobleman who came to persuade him to surrender until he couldn't take care of himself. Therefore, he was discounted by the angry young master. A right leg. Doesn't this kind of tough guy who has never wavered in his stance have to be vigorously promoted?
Lu Xi¡¯s meaning is very clear. Laert has already taken charge of all military affairs as the deputy commander of the military order. After his old friend Agrol officially becomes the highest military and political officer of the federation, he will be able to take a step further.
Agrol nodded heavily. Lu Xi has made it to this point. If he doesn't agree, it will be a bit disrespectful.
"In addition, I have some personnel recommendations here. You can take them and study them first, and then deal with them as appropriate after you officially take office." Lu Xi waved his hand, and Andriel next to him heard the words and stepped forward to hand them to Agger. Admiral Rolle's list.
He will definitely agree to everything. To put it bluntly, personnel affairs are about dividing the cake. He has divided the cake as important as the Commander-in-Chief of Military Affairs. If Admiral Agrol was still stupid and didn't understand, it would be impossible for him to have the status he has today.
"Don't think that the nickname "Ghoul King" is just some foolhardy fool. In fact, he is rough and fine. Before he went to the front line to lead troops, he was the personnel director of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Of course, Lu Xi also pays attention to people and will not embarrass his colleagues. There will definitely be no unreasonable personnel recommendations. They are all taken for granted. For example, "Speaking of Grima taking over the Fourth Army, Valerio Si took over the Sixth Corps, and Ofresa became the Gendarmerie Director" and so on.
Of course, these three fierce uncles are all colonels, so they will be promoted immediately for their great achievements in counterinsurgency, and then be promoted again half a year later. This is very appropriate.
It is said that it is definitely not the only relatives, but that they do not avoid relatives!
In addition, Red Thunder, the former commander of the Sixth Army, will serve as the chief of staff of the Elishaer Central Fleet, and the former chief of staff, Lieutenant General Rivers, will naturally be promoted to admiral. Although the latter is an old man with no great abilities or backbone, he at least gave the powerful faction a soft nail in the civil war and managed to retain some capable civilian officers in the fleet, which can be regarded as meritorious. Yu Guo.
Lu Xi said that he is a person who must reward meritorious deeds, even if it is just to buy bones for a thousand gold, he must maintain this attitude. Of course, this kind of old eel commander who only knows how to camp but not fight should be accompanied by a chief of staff who has low emotional intelligence but is really capable. "Red Lightning" is the perfect candidate.
Look, what a perfect personnel arrangement this is! It is definitely not the military power of overt promotion and covert reduction of people, absolutely not!
"Is the procedure legal?" Lu Xi asked Governor Anlos half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"At least for now, it is completely in compliance with federal law." Governor Anlos was not joking at all. Instead, he solemnly thanked Lu Xi: "Thank you, Your Excellency."
"Oh, you shouldn't be thanking me for making you the first non-magician Minister of the Interior in the history of the Federation, right?"
"No, thank you for respecting the willfulness of a republican believer so much."
Lu Xi took another look at this ordinary-looking capable official and said with a smile: "As long as you don't immediately blame me for engaging in mysticism and spy politics Then, please leave first, as well as Mr. Agrol For a while, Lieutenant General Makarov and I have some unpleasant encounters.Light matters to discuss.
This is the real topic. Makarov looked at Miss Andrel behind Lu Xi. She had an expressionless face and stiff movements from beginning to end. She just completed all the tasks assigned by Lu Xi meticulously, like a tool with no emotion.
If it weren¡¯t for Makarov, who is an extraordinary spell caster, he could still feel the secretary¡¯s breath of life, and he would have almost suspected that she had been killed and turned into a zombie.
What cannot be avoided cannot be avoided after all! The leader of the secret censor watched pitifully as the governor and the admiral left, and watched Andril close the door again in a helpless manner. He suddenly felt as if he was isolated from the whole world.
