As President Francis sat at his large desk correcting official papers, the door to his office opened, and the secretary walked in, followed by Hoffmann, the chief of staff.

"President. Hoffman stood respectfully at his desk.

At around 40 years old, President Rebes is the youngest of the world's leaders. However, his father and grandfather were both high-ranking people in Reps, so their political experience was not inferior to that of the older ones.

He put down the pen in his hand and looked at Hoffman carefully. The dutiful chief of staff looked calm, but his hands were clenched tightly, and it seemed that he had something more important.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Hoffmann was waiting for his question, President Nikolai asked, "Is it the business of the coalition?"

Hoffman nodded: "Two things, the first is the matter of the coalition forces. ”

"Say it. Nikolai got up and walked to the window. It's still sunny and sunny. The Bourne street scene outside the window is beautiful and bustling, but under this superficial calm, the Reps is now also surging.

"The coalition forces will be assembled before the end of the year, and the initial plan now is to enter after the onset of winter, when the monsters in the Demon Realm are relatively mild. Hoffman said.

"Wouldn't it be much more expensive to enter after the winter?" said Nikolai, frowning, "and the federal councillors are going to raise objections again, especially the conservatives." ”

"yes, I'll take my time to do the work for them. Hoffmann calmly said: "The Crafts Association and the United Chamber of Commerce will provide financial support, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

Nikolai nodded: "The conservatives still have to be appeased." What about the second thing?"

"The second thing is more urgent. Hoffman immediately said: "The deputy head of the White Eagle Economic Corps wants to talk to you, and he is already waiting outside. ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander?" said President Nikolai: "I remember his real identity as a staff officer of the special forces directly under the White Eagle, right?"

"That's right, it's him, Deputy Head Cole. Hoffman nodded.

"What is he doing here?" Nikolai turned, the sunlight behind him obscured by him, and his long shadow passed through the desk and landed on the guest couch.

"I said I need to talk to you in secret. I've been telling him that this is not in line with the basic etiquette of the meeting, and that he is not qualified enough to have a face-to-face confidential conversation with you. However, you also know that the White Eagle he represents will not be willing to comply with this. Hoffman's face was calm, but his hands were clenched tighter.

"I see, let him in. Nikolai casually glanced at Hoffmann: "I'd like to see what he wants to do." ”

"President, be careful, there are rumors that they and conservatives are in constant contact with each other. Hoffman reminded.

"I know, but Reps is not the Conservative Reps, let alone the White Eagle, let him in. Nikolai turned back to his desk and sat down majestically.

Hoffman nodded and said to the secretary at the door, "I would like to invite the deputy head of the White Eagle Economic Mission." ”

The secretary said yes and immediately walked out, and soon a tall, thin man with short white hair walked in.

He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said very kindly, "Mr. President, Cole feels a little uneasy to take the liberty of disturbing." ”

Nikolai looked at Cole, who seemed to be a weak scholar in front of him, and also smiled: "It's okay, no formality, please sit down." ”

The secretary walked out and quickly came in with three drinks. Cole glanced at the secretary, then at Hoffman, who was standing there motionless, and still smiled: "Mr. President, I hope to have a separate meeting with you." ”

Nikolai raised his eyebrows and said to the secretary, "You go." ”

The secretary walked out playfully, but Hoffman didn't move. Seeing this, Cole said, "Mr. Chief of Staff, please also recuse yourself for a while, right?"

"Huh?" Nikolai immediately waved his hand and said, "If Deputy Chief Cole has anything to say, just say it in front of the chief of staff, it doesn't matter." ”

Cole smiled when he heard this, knowing that today's president of Reps didn't plan to let Hoffman out.

"Okay. Cole pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "I have only one thing to do this time, and that is about the Gelug sect in your Dominion. ”

"What does the Dominion have to do with the White Eagle?" Nikolai smiled with a smile on his face, but he felt inexplicable in his heart.

He thought that the deputy commander of the White Eagle should have come to discuss with him about the sending of troops and money by the coalition at the end of the year, but he didn't expect to mention the Gelug sect that the eight poles can't beat.

"We've gotten word that the Gelug Sect is keeping monsters in captivity. Cole rambled to say something that shocked the other two in the room.

"The Gelug sect raises monsters, is this impossible?Mr. Cole, are you mistaken?" Hoffman immediately responded, "We Reps have always been in sync with the international community in dealing with monsters, and we will never allow this kind of thing to happen." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Hoffman, please take a look at this. Cole pulled out a stack of photographs and handed them to Hoffman.

The chief of staff took the photographs and examined them carefully, looking at them one by one, his brow furrowed.

"Show me. Nikolai tapped lightly on the table, and Hoffman immediately gave the photo to the president.

The photos include photos of the slime feedlot, as well as photos of the interior of the Dominion. The quality of the photos is very clear, and one of them is exactly the same as the one Lukka got at the slime feedlot.

Nikolai looked at the images on the photographs and asked quietly: "These are all pictures of the Dominion?"

"That's right, these slimes were artificially raised, and the priests ignored international conventions and kept slimes in captivity. Cole said, "President White Eagle hopes that this matter will be handled properly and properly. ”

"What is the best way to deal with it?" Nikolai asked, pushing the picture away, "According to the standards of the White Eagle, please tell me directly." ”

"According to the standards of the White Eagle, of course, even the monsters and the keepers are all destroyed, and they are disregarding the safety of all human beings, as it should be. Cole gestured at his neck.

Nikolai said: "I know, according to international law, it should be so, I will deal with it properly, you can go back." ”

The president issued an eviction order, but Cole had no intention of leaving: "The president hopes that this extermination operation can be led by the special forces directly under Ryan, supplemented by the special forces directly under Reps." ”

"Hehe, can you give you a reason?" Nikolai suppressed his anger and asked your allies to destroy our people, what the hell do you think.

"The special forces directly under Ryan have never had the opportunity to train, and this time they just let them participate in the operation. Cole said unashamedly, "It's kind of training them." ”
