Extraordinary: Start with owning the system

Ingray Empire, Military Office Building, Office of the Secretary of War.

The Minister of War should be among the top few in the Ingrey military, followed by the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff, usually held by lieutenant generals.

However, due to the particularity of Ingrey's country, the status of the Army is far inferior to that of the Navy, so the Secretary of the Army is not even as ranked as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy in the military, but even his status should not be underestimated.

Even if the army has a low status, it is the commander-in-chief who commands more than 30 local armies and nominally controls the colony's 200 million armies.

The army is the private territory of the conservative forces of the Ingray Empire, and firmly controlling the army is equivalent to controlling the mainland of the Ingray Empire.

At this time, Minister of War Nick Carr was sitting on his chair, his head was leaning back against the pillow of the high-back chair, his eyelids were tightly closed, and his swollen face full of age spots showed a trace of fatigue.

If it weren't for the faint sound of sound, I'm afraid the old man would have thought that the old man had died.

There was no one in this luxurious office. Even though the weather outside was very good, thick curtains were still drawn, as if to completely isolate the inside of the room from the outside world.

Nick Karl, who is over 80 years old, has long been unable to match the energy of young people. Other old people have been reading novels and tasting red wine at home, but Nick Karl can't do it.

Nick Carr likes power and the feeling that one sentence can determine a person's fate, so even if the documents that need to be processed pile up in front of him, he will not give up his rights easily.

Jingle Bell!The brass bell rang a few times, and Nick Karl didn't have the slightest intention of waking up. After a while, the heavy door was gently pushed open.

Owen, who was wearing a major's military uniform, walked in with a blank expression on his face. He couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Nick Karl who was snoring, his eyes were full of sarcasm, so he tapped his finger on the table lightly and said, "Your Excellency, the cabinet The meeting is about to begin!"

Nick Carl was taken aback, trembled suddenly, almost fell off the chair, he roared angrily: "Didn't I say don't disturb me when I'm sleeping? Now, get out of here immediately!" go out."

Owen said very respectfully: "Minister of Defense Powell is presiding over the interim meeting. Please go to the meeting room immediately to attend the meeting. The topic of the meeting is still the case of the attack on the First Army."

"Hmph, it's this case again! I, the Minister of War, am not in a hurry, but they are still in a hurry!" Nick Karl said with a sneer, struggling to stand up, but maybe the lying posture just now was not right, Coupled with osteoporosis, he almost fell directly to the ground.

Fortunately, Owen immediately supported Nick Karl, otherwise, I am afraid that the Minister of War would become the first general who died in the line of duty and was thrown to death in the office.

"Go away, I'm not old yet!" Nick Carle pushed Owen away, and said with a sneer: "Don't think about reading my jokes, I'm not too old to walk now!"

He took a deep breath, walked to the mirror, buttoned up the collar of his general uniform with trembling hands, put on his military cap, and tidied his beard carefully before he was satisfied.

Then he put on a pair of polished and shiny leather shoes, which were so bright that they could almost reflect people's shadows.

Owen lowered his head, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He had no respect for these old-fashioned old people who occupy high positions. If Ingray didn't have these people, he might have already unified the world and become a real big empire.

Owen was originally the eldest son of a large noble family, but he was targeted because he offended the Lance family, and eventually completely declined. He joined Crown Prince Richard's command not so much because of belief, but because of the psychology of revenge.

He has never hidden his thoughts, so after the attack on the First Army Corps happened, he became one of the subjects of investigation. Unfortunately, Owen had perfect alibi, and the result of the investigation was nothing.

When Nick Carr walked into the conference room, Secretary of Defense Powell had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He tapped on the table and said, "Why are you here at this time! Don't you know what time it is?"

Don't look at Nick Karl's old and weak appearance in private, but after he really recovered his status as a general, his eyes turned from cloudy to extremely sharp, and his whole person seemed to have become an iron-blooded warrior, full of majesty and dignity. serious.

Nick Carr waved his hand and said: "It's always too late, the only forces and people in this world who can provoke the Ingray Empire and conceal the Silver Hand's intelligence network to commit such heinous crimes are within Ingray! In other words , A traitor has emerged from within us.”

The words did not arouse other people's surprise. All the people present were high-ranking military officials. No matter what their position was, no one who could sit in this position was an idiot.

Nick Carr's words were the result of an analysis by the staff department, but they were deliberately concealed without evidence in order to avoid panic among the public.

"What we discussed in our meeting today is how to deal with the aftermath and how to track down the murderer behind the scenes!" Powell said in a deep voice.

Secretary of Defense Powell is also in his 70s, but he is different from Nick Carr in that he was born in an ordinary family. With his intelligence, he was admitted to the law department of Royal Ingle College, from a lawyer to an official residence staff, and then entered Parliament became a member, and eventually one of the highest powers in Ingrey's military.

Apart from his lack of great military achievements, he is very admirable in terms of ability and courage.

Queen Ingrey once said that Powell's talent and qualifications are more than enough to serve as prime minister, but he chose to enter the military, so his lack of military merit has become his biggest shortcoming.

As a result, many military leaders are not very obedient to Powell. If it were not for the support of the royal family, Powell would not be the Minister of Defense anyway.

Nick Carle sneered twice, and said: "Are there still some things that need to be investigated? Whoever has gained the most benefit in the whole thing is the suspect! I think everyone sitting here should be clear about such a simple matter, right?

As for how to deal with the aftermath, it is a matter for the military logistics department and the Minister of Finance, and it has nothing to do with me. Does my coming or not have any impact on the whole matter? "

These words were sharp like a sharp knife, and seemed to mean something else.
