When the verdict was delivered, President Brad was having an extremely important meeting.
He sits in his oval office, with his feet leaning on the wide walnut desk, lying halfway on a soft swivel chair.
Through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, you can gaze at the beautiful summer morning outside the window.
Next to him is the flag of the Semitic Republican government and the flag of the coalition forces. On the two couches on the left and right sides in front of him, the ministers of the Republican government and the staff of President Brad are seated.
With the whistling sound of the ceiling fan on the roof, a cool breeze flew past everyone. The ice radiated a bit of cool air, making the temperature in the room very pleasant.
The four walls are beige wallpaper, and the pattern on the carpet in the center of the room is the lightning-shaped national emblem of the Semitic Republic.
This room in the Akadrien Palace was decorated by President Brad, modeled after Lord Lorraine’s office, just a few days after he moved in. You can still smell the damp smell of furniture and walls.
After successfully conquering the imperial city of Akaderin, because of the limited conditions, everything was kept simple, especially the office and accommodation environment. Whatever was originally there was used.
Lord Lorraine requisitioned the best part of the palace to house the huge command and staff of the coalition forces.
President Brad’s office team, such as the Director of the President’s Office, the President’s National Security Affairs Assistant, the Press Secretary, the National Security Council, the Economic Advisory Council, the Administration and Budget Committee, the Domestic Affairs Committee, and so on.
These big figures of the new Semitic government can only squeeze in front of the palace, in the prime minister's mansion of the former prime minister Madolins.
This place is not bad. Adhering to the government’s consistent policy that no matter how poor you are, you can’t lead poorly. If you can’t work hard, you can only serve the people more efficiently if the working environment is good. The mansion is magnificent and the environment is elegant and comfortable.
But the problem is that if this place is the residence of a prime minister, it is appropriate, but as the presidential palace, it is obviously too small.
There is a huge difference between the system of the Republican government and the old government. The old government only had the prime minister and secretary, guards, and could not live in a spacious place...
But the new government, just the advisory team of President Brad, has more than 300 people, plus the office staff serving these people, the old prime minister's office is not enough.
And more importantly, President Brad has never told others that he thinks the prime minister's office is bad.
The death of two prime ministers who worked here in a row caused divergent opinions. Some even said that when the former prime minister Makarin was dying, he used his soul as a sacrifice and issued the most terrible curse. Anyone who dared to live here is not going to die.
President Brad would naturally want to stay away from here. Even at the time, even the temporary office of President Brad was far away from Madolins' original location.
Therefore, after the victory of the restoration of Akadrien, President Brad immediately ordered the renovation of the new presidential palace in the palace, and he did not hesitate to allocate funds.
After working overtime for a month and rushing for jobs around the clock, President Brad moved into the Oval Office as he wished, and managed the huge Semitic Republic in this place that truly belonged to him, the Semitic President.
Of course, in name.
Everyone knows that it is President Brad’s cheap son-in-law, Count Lorraine, who really manages this country.
And, that's why. President Brad was able to dominate the Semitic tribe, and all the arrogant soldiers and heroes were all bowing their heads to their ears-dare not to be obedient, believe it or not, his cheap son-in-law carried half a million Brother, did you beat you up? ~! ! !
Every time I think of this, all the generals and governors who claim to be "highly talented" feel a bit of old blood: Grandma's, what kind of world is this now, it is so amazing to have a beautiful daughter? ? ~! ! !
"...To sum up, we can draw the following conclusion that our army is seriously underpowered." The national security adviser who was announcing the report raised his head and glanced at the president secretly. He saw that the president was distracted again, but he still You have to read the entire report carefully.
Although everyone outside thinks that President Brad relies on the position of his son-in-law, he is actually a good old man with no abilities, but countless examples prove that all those who dare to despise this old guy are finally planted.
At the beginning, before the expedition, the Caribbean Fourth Division, which had been painstakingly managed by young soldiers and organized so easily, was swallowed by him silently.
When I look back, this division has become the most powerful unit of the Semi, deterring the Quartet. Even just a small team, it took one night to rush into the heavily guarded castle and take down Governor Etienne who was hiding in the heavily guarded.
There was silence in the office, and the staff were silent, waiting patiently for President Brad to speak.
President Brad was awakened by the silent atmosphere in the office. He reacted from his contemplation, glanced at everyone, and asked in surprise: "By the way, where did you just talk about it?"
The national security adviser could only sigh secretly in his heart. The boss didn't know if he was thinking about going to the club for dinner again at night, saying: "We are not strong enough."
"Huh?" President Brad tilted his head and looked at his national security adviser in confusion, as if he had heard him wrong, and asked: "You said, we are not strong enough?"
Then he laughed like he heard a joke, teasing: "My dear Dorennie, are you sure you are not wrong? Our coalition has 500,000 troops, which is a full 500,000 troops~!"
President Brad opened his palm to indicate, and then smiled slyly: "The 500,000 troops are fighting for us. What's more wonderful is that I don't have to hire them to pay for the military."
The staff in the office were amused by the president's humor and laughed in a low voice.
The human coalition defeated the old government. It was not them who came to power, and the human army would always leave. After they were gone, wouldn't the Semi belong to them?
This kind of good deeds of pie falling from the sky will wake up when you really dream.
Only Adviser Doreny didn't laugh with a serious face, and seemed out of place, as if he didn't give the president face.
Seeing Dorenny’s hard-hearted attitude, other people stopped smiling in embarrassment, and the expression on President Brad's face was also a bit ugly: Does this kid dare to give the dignified President?
The others gloated at the advisor to Dorreny. They had long been dissatisfied with this powerful and nasty guy.
But those who know the origins of Dorenny's consultant don't think so.
This adviser, who doesn't seem to know how to welcome his boss, was not selected by the president. He was found by Fioni, known as the "Princess of the Semi-patriarch". It is said that he has also worked in Feiying Company and obtained several MBA diplomas.
Even President Brad didn't use him—as everyone knows, this president is afraid of his wife and even more of his daughter.
Advisor Doreny saw President Brad looking at him, and then slowly said: "I'm not talking about the coalition forces, but the army that really belongs to our Semitic people. The officers are appointed by us and follow our command.
Your Majesty, everyone, after all, mankind is going to leave, we must plan ahead~! "
President Brad was shocked and his expression immediately became solemn: Now that Lorraine is watching the scene for him, no one dares to make trouble. In three years, at most five years, the coalition forces will still be withdrawn to the human continent.
At that time, the republican government does not have reliable armed forces, so what can it do to suppress people in the Quartet?
Advisor Doreny smiled triumphantly. What he was waiting for was this amazing blow and said loudly, "Everyone knows the governor who was just caught.
But apart from him, dozens of incidents of proclaiming emperor broke out in various places recently. Of course, most of them are grass troupes, and a group of mental illnesses from the troupe to a few acting clothes became emperors.
Some were resolved by local troops, and some were arrested by our own personnel. Many of these people are lunatics, fools.
However, it is certain that there are still careerists hiding among us. If these people are the original royal nobles and local officials, they are rich and powerful. Once something happens, people who are not willing to lose the rights and fiefdom of the nobility will surely respond in groups.
At that time, should we go to humans for help? "
The consultants looked at each other, then bowed their heads in thought.
President Brad pursed his mouth tightly, nodded, and said solemnly: "My dear Dorenny, you are right, what about your plan?"
"Expand the army~!" Doreny's consultant squeezed his fist and smashed his thigh, and said decisively: "A large-scale army expansion."
"This..." President Brad rubbed his frowning eyebrows, his expression showing hesitation.
Dorenny continued: "Our Republican government forces currently have less than 100,000 people. Among them, there are only two divisions and less than 30,000 people that can be called the main force. This strength is even a regional disturbance. Can't cope with it, and, just like this, this army is not completely controlled by the government.
The old armies under the governors of the localities have not been disbanded and reorganized. For me, there are still a large number of militant groups, bandits, pirates and other violent groups in the localities.
These are hidden dangers. "
President Brad shrugged helplessly, curled his lips, unable to speak.
The Fourth Division is led by his cousin Melun, currently under the command of Lorraine, and ranks among the top five in the Allied Forces in terms of equipment. It can be called the Guards of the Republican government.
But the two divisions that were changed from the original 5th and 6th Divisions of the Imperial Guard, President Brad did not command them, because they only listened to General Melo.
Then, Dorennie was energetic and waved his fist sonorously and said: "Therefore, we must form a well-equipped, fully staffed, and combative army to defend our republican system and our new world of equality and freedom. .
All in all, our Republic needs a strong Republican Guard. "
The consultants looked at Dorenny in shock, and then shouted in applause.
"that's right."
"This must be considered as soon as possible."
"..."
President Brad shook his body and hurriedly waved his hand, seriously warning: "The name of the Republican Guard is not allowed in the future, it is unlucky, do you know?"
Dorreny shrugged, it was just a name, he didn't care, but the "Republic Guard" was clearly called very loud, as domineering as Lord Lorraine's SS, why not use it?
Naturally, he didn't know that most people called this name would not end well. When the Free Army was established, someone mentioned it and was scolded by Lord Lorraine.
President Brad said: "Dorenny, how much do you plan to recruit?"
"Three hundred thousand ~EbookFREE.me~Doreny stretched out three fingers and said firmly: "The original army must be reorganized in an all-round way, and those who fail to pass must be disbanded.
In order to maintain security and order throughout the country, at least 400,000 troops are needed, of which two-thirds of local troops and one-third of mobile field troops. "
President Brad stagnated and said worriedly: "Isn't it, too much?"
"This is the minimum requirement. Below this number, the government's control over the locality will be weakened." There is no room for negotiation in Dorenney's tone.
Brad hesitated for a moment, and said, "This...it's not easy."
"We can proceed step by step and divide this plan into three to five years."
President Brad shook his head and said worriedly: "I'm not talking about plans, I'm talking about parliament and military spending."
The hearts of everyone present suddenly sank. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe (this site), give a reward, and your support is my biggest motivation.)
