It took several hours for Charles to finish the official documents on his desk. There is no way, since he decided to hand over to himself all the official documents that were originally reviewed by His Excellency the Minister himself, he has to face such a bitter struggle with the documents every day.

These official documents, Charles has already left annotations of different lengths according to the important procedures, just waiting for people to take them for processing. Just writing these annotations made him feel like his hands were slightly sore.

That's not going to work.

It's good to have more power, but it's too much to put the cart before the horse if you get stuck in this mountain of official documents and can't extricate yourself every day.

The place where he won the battle was still in the political circles.

Ah, I really hope to quickly establish the institution I want, otherwise just reviewing the text jiàn, I will have to make myself have no energy to do anything else...... Already tired, he sighed in his heart.

Not only at the War Department, but elsewhere as well.

At this time, he felt more and more that he needed a private team to help him deal with a qiē matter. Because, whether it is the political or business world, he has been involved in too many aspects, and it is impossible for him to deal with it alone.

What kind of people do I need to do this kind of work? Charles frowned slightly.

This person must be completely consistent with his own interests, and have a clear and calm mind, know how to deal with many shady things, and know how to keep secrets; This man has to be not famous and does not seek to be prominent, he is willing to serve himself in obscurity, and. More importantly, be completely faithful. Be willing to do everything you can to help yourself.

Is there such a person in the world? The thought of having to meet so many conditions made Charles himself feel a little funny.

Albert?

No. Although reliable enough, he is too ostentatious, and he is not the type to act meticulously, no.

Kong Ze?

No, this person has the ability, but the ambition is too strong, and he can only control the use of zhì, and he must not give complete trust, no.

Come and think about it. He still couldn't think of a suitable candidate, and at this time, he felt how weak his team was.

Hey, although he has already obtained a high position, after all, the time is too short, and it does take a lot of effort to cultivate his own power.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his heart.

Wait, if girls can do it too......

Mathilda?

No. A moment later he rejected the idea - though she was excellent in mind and experience, and had always kept a low profile, she ...... After all, she is a child of the Diliion family, and she will not think completely about herself. He didn't want to embarrass Mathil's time.

So...... Mary?

She has brains, she acts decisively, and judging by her previous collaborations. She is indeed loyal, and she does not seek to be in the limelight, to be exact. He is well aware of the fact that his position is tied to Shire.

When she left home in the morning, Mary's smile resurfaced in front of Charles's eyes. Although the atmosphere was slightly ruined by the bloodstains, it still lost its charm.

If it were her, she would be a good candidate...... He thought to himself.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally made up his mind that he could try.

Of course, he will not put it into practice right away, and it will be interesting to see.

After a short rest, Charles carefully collected his tiredness, then shook the bell on his desk and let his secretary walk into the office.

The secretary first bowed respectfully, then walked to his desk, carefully picked up the official documents, and put them in the briefcase he had brought with him, intending to take them out and distribute them to various departments later.

Then, Charles looked at his pocket watch, and it was already noon.

He suddenly remembered something.

It's time for today......

"After lunch, go and help me get Monsieur de Trevo over, I have something to talk to him."

The secretary was stunned for a moment because Charles suddenly spoke, but he quickly reacted.

"Yes, sir." He hurriedly nodded and agreed, "I'll pass it on for you." ”

Seeing that Charles had no other orders, he quietly took the official document and retreated.

……………………

As Charles had expected, just after dinner time, Mr. de Trevo, the director in charge of weapons and equipment, came straight to him.

"Oh, Monsieur de Trivo? Long time no see. After seeing the other person gently enter his room, Charles greeted him cordially and friendly, and then beckoned him to sit down, "How are you doing?" ”

"Thanks to you...... It's been okay lately. In front of Charles, the wrinkled face was now covered with a smile, and there was no longer the arrogance of the past, "Mr. Treville, is there anything you called me over?" ”

His eyes wandered, and his tone was very humble, and he looked a little uneasy.

Looking at his nervous appearance, Charles couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"Oh, it's okay, you sit first." In order to calm him down, Charles deliberately made his tone more relaxed.

"Yes, sir." Mr. de Trivo nodded hurriedly, and then sat down hesitantly.

Although it looks like it's relaxed, it's still a little nervous that can't be hidden, and it looks like it's sitting on pins and needles.

Charles knew why, of course, and decided to continue to let him relax a little more.

"I didn't come to you today to talk about that kind of strict business." Charles had that kind smile on his face, "I just have something I want to ask you, and I hope it doesn't make you feel unpleasant." ”

"Oh, of course not, sir, and I'd be glad to talk to you about anything other than business." Mr. de Trivo hurriedly waved his hand, "After all, we need your guidance in many aspects. ”

"Ah, how can we talk about mentoring? I'm so young, and I've never had the qualifications to serve before, how can I be qualified to say to mentor you? Charles was still smiling. You should have instructed me, actually. I have great respect for you and would like to continue to ask for your help in many matters. ”

After hearing Charles's first words. A flash of panic flashed across Mr. de Trevo's face—for this was exactly what he had used to attack Charles at the departmental meeting, but after hearing the latter, he finally regained his composure.

He stole a glance at Charles, looked closely, and found that there was no displeasure on Charles' face.

"No, don't say that, you are a rare young talent in my country, how can I be qualified to guide you?" Not daring to have any delay, he hurriedly expressed his attitude. "We all admire your courage and reasonableness."

"Yes, I'm a reasonable person." Charles gave the other another some relief.

Then, seeing that the other party had basically relaxed, Charles raised his head again, "I called you over today, I mainly want to commend you." ”

"Huh?" Charles's sudden remarks surprised Mr. de Trevo.

"Recently, I have been very satisfied with the efficiency of your department." Charles smiled and nodded, "The report is being delivered quickly. And it's a lot easier, there's nothing to hide, which makes my job a lot easier, thank you. Mr. ”

After receiving Charles' encouragement, Mr. de Trivo was immediately overjoyed, "It's great that you can say that. Mr. But you don't have to give me any special honor. I am your subordinate, and of course I will carry out your will. Since it is a matter of your account, we will naturally do it with the fastest efficiency, which is not something worth talking about. ”

"Oh, that's certainly something to encourage." Charles waved his hand, "I hope that your department can continue to work like this in the future, so that my things can be much easier." ”

As long as you continue to work together like this, you will have a future.

Mr. de Trivo immediately understood what Charles was suggesting.

"That's natural!" Mr. de Trivo quickly lifted his spirits, "Sir, we will carry out your will as we have always done in the future. ”

Then, he looked at Charles cautiously and smiled flatteringly, "The kind of gun you specially recommended to you earlier has been accepted by us, and we will soon be able to make it the official equipment of the army." ”

"Really? So fast? Charles looked a little surprised.

"Since it's your business, of course we'll do it with the highest priority, sir." Mr. de Trivo replied at once, and it was evident that he was trying to please Charles and make up for his previous mistakes, "I have already ordered my men to go down, and it will not be long before a formal order can be placed, so you can wait for the good news!" ”

In this pretended cheerful tone, Charles lowered his gaze slightly, and his heart was full of thoughts.

After several months of hard work, he finally achieved his goal, and the new firearms he obtained were finally able to enter the army's equipment sequence.

In other words, the battle he had not intended to have had with the entire vast War Department bureaucracy was finally won a hard-fought victory.

How much energy did I expend in order to do something that was obviously good for the country, for myself, and for everyone!

Charles couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Sir?" Seeing that Charles was still pondering, Monsieur de Trivo asked cautiously.

"Is it already done? Will it not be long before it is officially adopted? There won't be any more trouble, right? Charles's tone became a little muffled.

"Yes, sir." The other party didn't hear this change in tone, but just nodded earnestly. "Although it will take some time, this is only the final formalities, and it is already a foregone conclusion."

"It seems that it took a lot of effort to accomplish so much in such a short time......" Charles sighed softly, "Thank you, sir, and thank you very much for your efforts." ”

"Where are you talking about that? This is what we should do. Monsieur de Trivo hurriedly waved his hand. We're just doing our job. ”

"Because of your efforts, my ideas have a chance to come true, sir, and I will commend you." Charles still held on to his word.

“…… If you wish......" Seeing Charles say this, the other party finally relaxed completely and responded to Charles with a smile. "But. I have to say that you are the one who has contributed the most among us...... I have no right to dilute the credit I deserve. ”

Look at the way he relaxes. Charles sneered inwardly.

The most ferocious blow should have been stabbed at the time when the enemy was most relaxed.

"I'll tell the minister. You will receive a medal and a double pension. He said seemingly nonchalantly, "I hope you have a happy retirement." ”

Monsieur de Trivo, who was relaxed, did not react at first, and only after a moment did he look up at Charles in shock.

"Retire......?" He half-opened his mouth and struggled to spit out the word. "You mean ......"

It was the nightmare he feared the most in recent times.

Ever since Charles said that the president had changed the secretary of the Army. He felt that something was wrong, so he changed his previous uncooperative attitude and greeted Charles in every possible way, hoping to dissipate the anger of this young but up-and-coming upstart.

I didn't expect ...... Unexpectedly, this blow was stabbed at the moment when he thought he had dodged it.

This young man is really vicious! His performances just now were just to let himself relax, and then look at his lost soul, right?

As soon as I thought of this, in order not to let this hateful young man see the joke. He tried to contain his feelings, but he still inevitably trembled with shock and frustration and anger.

"Well, you heard it right, that's it." While admiring each other's appearances. Charles nodded with a sneer, "Your Excellency thinks you're overworked and need to enjoy a ...... A more relaxed and peaceful life. Of course, taking into account your years of loyal service to the country. We will give you adequate compensation, please rest assured. ”

This kind of personnel transfer is logically out of his control. There is no need for him to notify the other party, but out of an evil mentality, he specially ordered others to keep it secret from the other party first, and let him personally inform him.

And he got the results he wanted.

Looking at the other man's wrinkled face, instantly distorted by shock, loss, and pain, Charles's heart suddenly filled with an indescribable pleasure.

"Sir, sir...... You can't do that! Monsieur de Trivo took a hard breath, and with great difficulty regained control of his body, "I have done what you say, why?" And, didn't you promise not to pursue it again? Why...... Why do you want to do ......? ”

"Really? Did I promise you anything? Charles frowned slightly, as if he was embarrassed.

Then, in the other party's expectant eyes, he grinned slightly, "Well, then, now this promise is null and void." ”

What a shameless person!

There was a wave of anger that Mr. de Trivo could hardly help but explode.

I don't know how much work it took him to reluctantly compose.

It seems that he was just delaying the army before, and wanted to let himself finish things first. Now that the matter is done, he is no longer of use to him. Amusing...... I still have a fluke mentality, thinking that he will spare ...... The Treviles, as expected......

He looked up at the face with a leisurely smile, and wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I think you're going to understand it by now, I've made it clear - you've done what the country needs you to do, and you're going to get what you deserve, and then you're leaving." Charles continued to smile, but his tone became more stern, "I understand your mood at the moment, so I don't want to say anything serious to you, but, I warn you, it's best not to try to play tricks and cause trouble for things that are already a foregone conclusion, or you will have to bear the consequences!" Okay, when you go back, honestly arrange those tasks with your subordinates, and then finish everything I want you to do, otherwise...... Otherwise, I think you know the consequences! ”

“…… Go tell them for yourself! I'm not available! Maybe it's out of the way, and the other party yells back at Charles.

Is it already a broken jar? Hehe. What a show.

"Really? Do you really want me to do that? Do you want your subordinates to suffer with you? Charles replied with a sneer, "If I come and tell them, it won't be so good for them!" ”

His reply left Monsieur de Trivo speechless for a moment.

"You...... You ......," he muttered, but couldn't get the sentence out of the way.

Many of his subordinates were personally promoted by him, not to mention any friendship, even if it was for the convenience of the future, he should not affect their future.

"In order not to harm others, I think you should say it yourself, remember, the things I explain must be done well, otherwise ...... I'm going to show no mercy. Charles said coldly, "Well, if there's nothing else to do, you can leave." ”

In fact, he is still lying to the other party, since he has decided to do it, then he will move directly to the end, and if he wants to extinguish all the threats in one go, how can he give up halfway with his subordinates?

Monsieur de Trivo had no time to tell whether Charles' words were true or false, and he staggered to his feet, then looked at Charles with hatred.

"You...... You're such a shameless person! I wait for the day when you fall! He threw away the words in hatred, and turned to leave.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly came from behind him.

"Judging by your age, I don't think you can wait for this day, sir." Charles's tone was full of malice, "You better plan your retirement life well, I really envy you, you will soon have so much time at your disposal!" ”

Mr. de Trivo bit his lip heavily and left his office without looking back. (To be continued......) R1292
