my wife is a consul

Chapter 789 The King's Representative
The premium box of Cigar Club on the first floor of Gaston Building.

There were only Lu Ming and chief Babaxia.

Before Lu Ming was about to go to the capital to accept the parliamentary questioning, he passed by Jier City, because Babasia had contacted Danilova several times and wanted to meet with the Commander, saying that it was urgent.

"A large number of black sheep corpses..." Hearing Babasia's words, Lu Ming stopped shaking his wine glass, thinking.

"Yes..." Babasia sighed, "But, let alone appealing to the Great Council of the Empire, or asking for help from the United Kingdom, even our Chiefs Council, the great chiefs in the north, would not take our discovery back at all. I still think that we are alarmist, but it is a species that has not been found in the tropical rainforest before, washed down from the upper reaches of the Devil River..."

Lu Ming fell silent.

Further south of the Gade area, there are three states where Westerners gather.

Among them, the southernmost Western State is called Emlund State. In free translation, it is the Aboriginal Desert State.

And I default it to Indian state.

This state is extremely vast and harsh, with a popular cowboy culture and militia organizations.

It is the farthest place Westerners conquered to the south, and once massacred the local aborigines.

These aborigines, in terms of skin color and race, are indeed similar to the Indians in their previous lives.

Indians today mainly live in deserts, prairies and swamps in the southern part of the state.

And extending south from the Indian gathering area is the chief tribe in the southern border.

Among them, the chief tribes in the north are more influenced by the West.

Including the most powerful Emirate of Rahim, it is located in the northern center of the emirate, and the city of Rahim also has the southernmost railway station of the empire.

And the tribe that Babasha belonged to was the emirate in the south of the emirates complex, scattered in the tropical primeval jungle, and some chief tribes were actually no different from the primitive people.

Babasha said that in the Devil River across the rain forest, many black goat beast corpses were found, densely packed, very scary.

The Devil's River is a giant river that winds thousands of kilometers in the tropical rainforest. Various creeks in the eastern rainforest that the primitive tribes have not explored converge to form a river in the west, and finally flow south into the sea.

The widest part of the river is tens of kilometers long.

New World?
Lu Ming frowned slightly.

I withdrew from the New World a long time ago, because I feel that the two sides can be regarded as two races from thinking to social models.

It is okay to treat each other as aliens, but both parties originated from the same ancestor.

It's best to stay away from each other forever.

A large number of black goat beast corpses appeared in Devil's River, which may indicate that there is also a passage to the New World in the primitive jungle.

However, this passage is not as secret as the northern passage. The climate has changed dramatically over the years, making this passage gradually appear.

These black goat beasts are animals from severe cold regions and are not adapted to the tropical rainforest climate. After entering the rainforest, they may have contracted some kind of disease in the rainforest, and this is why they died in large numbers.

"Okay, I understand, our first control will investigate." Lu Ming patted Babaxia on the shoulder.

"Your Excellency, Commander, thank you, thank you!" Babasia said gratefully.

……

Lu Ming did not pass the hearing in the parliament, and his defense was rejected by the parliament.

Subsequently, Lu Ming filed a complaint with the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, the Queen's Bench Court.

Then at my own pace, I returned to the Gade area to continue my lecture tour.

After going back and forth like this, on August 8, Lu Ming came to Wangdu again to testify in court to be directly questioned by nine justices of the Supreme Court.

At this time, there is less than a month before the election for the prime minister of the Gede District on August 8.

Polls show that His Excellency the Commander has an overwhelming advantage over the second-ranked candidate, with a support rate of more than 70.00% in the Gade area. No.2 is the candidate of the Rose Party—former Governor Goring, with only a dozen percent support.

……

Having handed in his resignation, President Augustus is more energetic than before. He is in his 70s, and his waist is still sitting upright.

Lu Ming admires this very much. Augustus really wants to live a stable retirement life, not like many rich and powerful people who tend to be more greedy for power as they get older.

In a small country-style restaurant, Augustus invited Lu Ming to eat hot dogs and drink beer. He smiled and said, "My teeth are getting better and better. For a while, I don't dare to chew hard ham."

Lu Ming smiled without saying a word.

The small restaurant was very lively, many people knew the identity of Augustus and came over to say hello to him.

"Have you met Peter!" asked Augustus.

Peter is Denitz's name. If there is no accident, Denitz will become the new head of the first control.

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

"You've handled things well. Your powerful guard is still in the Western Regions?" Augustus asked.

Lu Ming nodded. What Augustus was talking about was Kunpeng. It seemed to outsiders that he let him hide to avoid conflicts with those mysterious organizations. In fact, he was coordinating the affairs of the Western Regions on his own behalf and became his representative stationed in the Western Regions. .

"You are much better than when I was young. If you should bear it, you will bear it. When you want to explode, you will be at a loss!" Augustus smiled. The old man looked very kind, and he probably really admired the young man in front of him. people.

The young man in front of him, as a cutting-edge commander who grew up in the first control system, Augustus believed that he had left his own legacy for the United Kingdom after all.

"From the southern barbarians, Candice sent a message, confirming that your information is correct. There is probably a new continent in the east." Augustus let out a long breath, "So, I met with the Prime Minister yesterday. Face to face, he will still think seriously about my words."

Lu Ming nodded slightly. Although the old man seemed to be a royalist, after the war, he repeatedly backed down from the constitutionalists who suppressed and split the first control.

He was able to develop the first control into a super behemoth during the war, and control the army down to the corner, which was the decisive move for the United Kingdom to defeat the Kingdom of Griffin. How could he be such a simple person.

It can only be said that probably in his heart, the expansion of royal power is not a good thing. He believes that after the war, it is time to restrict the royal power.

Therefore, Henry II and Prime Minister Dumas are in the same situation now. Prime Minister Dumas scoffed at Henry II's solution to the problem, but when President Augustus talked about it, the effect was completely different.

"I think you can go back to Jill, just wait for the good news!" Augustus smiled, "Of course, the Prime Minister will probably talk to you directly, as long as you don't mess up, he will probably endure and face your existence for the time being gone."

Lu Ming smiled: "Thank you, Chief!" Picking up the beer, he lightly clinked glasses with Augustus.

……

On the 58th floor of the Gaston Building, in the extremely luxurious living room.

Principal Medellin was worried.

Although Bridget seemed to be talking softly with Scarlett beside her, in fact, when she looked at Lu Ming, there was a hint of sarcasm in her blue eyes.

The Court of Queen's Bench has ruled against the Lord Commander's appeal, ruling that it was not unconstitutional for Parliament to disqualify the Lord Commander's candidate.

The principal of Medellin is the first deputy of Lu Ming's campaign team, and he is the principal of the most prestigious Royal Gill Business School in Gill.

The school was originally called the Gade Business School, but it was renamed after the Kingdom of Sonia conquered the local area, and it became one of the royal schools that the Sonia royal family would send members to serve as directors.

Medellin has a profound insight into the relationship between the political system and economic development, and Lu Ming admires him very much.

And now, there is no doubt that the commander's campaign team has come to choose a successor.

The principal of Medellin is not very confident about such a change, and the successor can still defeat Goering.

Because of the Supreme Court's merciless ruling, all the commander's campaign efforts have become illegal. If the Rose Party makes good use of this, they are afraid that the commander's campaign will become useless, and it will also become a negative asset.

The commander originally meant that although the Supreme Court has a high chance of overturning his complaint, it will not directly define the behavior of the parliament. Instead, it will use the reason that the Supreme Court has no right to intervene in the qualification review of candidates and will not overturn the resolution of the parliament. ruling.

But I didn't want to, the worst result was ushered in.

Danilova bowed slightly, listened to what Lu Ming said, and then turned on the TV.

On the screen, Goering is being interviewed by Kunlun TV, one of the three major TV stations in the empire, talking about how the election of the Commander-in-Chief has jeopardized the legal foundation of the United Kingdom.

Everything he said made sense.

After all, there are rulings of the Supreme Court as the basis.

Bridget watched the TV screen quietly, her green eyes were a little complicated, she wondered if she felt a little regretful.

Lu Ming smiled: "Mike, you come and take my stick."

Principal Medellin looked up in a daze.

Bridget stood up abruptly, and said in disbelief, "No way, General, I'm probably the only one who has a chance to win!" This was the first time she lost her composure in front of Lu Ming.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "After President Medellin wins the election, you will be appointed as the deputy prime minister and also my special affairs representative."

Bridget's pretty face turned green and pale, hesitated for a moment, and finally said coldly: "You don't count, and you don't really think that Medellin can win, do you? I hope you won't be too self-willed! "

Lu Ming looked at her, smiled without saying a word.

Danilova frowned and said, "Pay attention to your attitude, you are just the master's concubine!"

"What concubine? What master?!" Bridget seemed to have finally burst out of anger during this time, "You Oenian people are used to being slaves, do you think everyone is like you? You are all crazy! "Looking at Lu Ming: "You are surrounded by mental patients, and you, I heard that several senior generals of the legion have written a joint letter to you! If your Grand Duke Party loses this election, your military position will There is a high probability that you will not be able to keep it, and then, you call this softie to be your successor?!"

She pointed at Medellín, her pretty face was ashen, her chest was heaving and she was out of breath, but she was not charming and sexy.

Lu Ming was helpless: "It's a little early for you to turn the tables. The joint letter incident was not only exaggerated, but also resolved long ago. I deliberately leaked it to the outside world to gain the sympathy of the people and let them know, because I want to help them benefit. , in fact, I was under a lot of pressure.”

Bridget sneered: "But, looking at it now, it has the opposite effect, right? Besides, you can say whatever you want now!"

At this moment, the TV screen suddenly changed, but an extremely important piece of news was interrupted.

On the screen is a very elegant female reporter from Kunlun Taiwan. The background is in front of the United Kingdom Parliament Building. "According to the news just received by our station, the Privy Council of His Majesty the King submitted a secret proposal not long ago. This proposal proposes that in Gade The representative of the SAR to His Majesty the King, the governor of the military and political affairs of the Gade area. According to reliable sources, the proposal has been supported by the cabinet Prime Minister Dumas, and it is now submitted to the parliament. In a few minutes, the kingdom's parliament will discuss the proposal. vote."

"So, can this proposal that has been kept secret for a long time pass? Let us wait and see!"

Bridget froze, looking at the TV screen in astonishment.

The Kunlun TV reporter on the screen told the history of the governors stationed since the birth of the empire.

Generally speaking, as the representative of His Majesty the King, the governor's local military and political affairs mostly take place in remote colonies.

Such as the previous five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the mainland of the kingdom, there has never been an autonomous prefecture that His Majesty the King has sent as a governor.

Therefore, the current emergencies are likely to be due to some special reasons in the Gede area, where the geographical location has become particularly important, especially the need for military orders and government orders to be unified, so that they will not compete with each other.

Lu Ming smiled, and he still recognized the newsmen of Kunlun TV. Naturally, they did not get inside information from themselves, but the conclusions drawn from the top-level behavior analysis.

Indeed, Augustus also persuaded Prime Minister Dumas from the aspect of national security, asking him to agree to the proposal of the King's Privy Council to send a governor in the Ged region.

Because there is likely to be a passage to the New World in the southern border area. It is not clear whether there are intelligent life in the New World and its technological development level. important.

Moreover, Commander Bit received more than 70.00% support in the polls.

This matter must be settled decently, otherwise, His Majesty the King and the royalists are likely to use the public opinion as a weapon to do more radical things in the Ged region.

It was also a compromise when the Supreme Court ruled that parliament's resolution to disqualify itself from candidacy was entirely legal.

Otherwise, the authority of the cabinet and parliament will be severely damaged, and the constitutionalists will definitely not agree.

Of course, His Majesty the King himself can directly appoint the Governor of the Gedd District through the Privy Council.

But this will also cause a constitutional crisis, a fierce confrontation between constitutionalists and royalists, and even a civil war.

This is the result that neither side wants to see.

In fact, Henry II originally wanted to do this, and it was the result of his own hair blowing.

However, the incident in southern Xinjiang has temporarily calmed down the fierce competition between the two sides for the Gede area.

It also caused some of my plans to be delayed.

On the TV screen, a female reporter from Kunlun TV analyzed the upcoming political dynamics in the Gedd Special Zone.

Because the proposal has the support of Prime Minister Dumas, and if both conservatives and liberals agree, there is a high probability that it will be approved by the parliament.

The appointment of His Majesty's representative, that is, the Governor, will not affect the general election of the Gede District.

The SAR will still elect a prime minister.

The relationship between the Prime Minister, the District Council and the Governor.

It will be similar to the relationship between His Majesty the King, the Prime Minister and the Kingdom Council, where the three parties check and balance each other.

The Governor is the nominal supreme leader of the SAR, and the Prime Minister and the Consul exercise the executive power.

The female reporter believes that this is also a good thing.

"Bridget, what do you think will be the result of the vote in the United Kingdom Parliament?" Lu Ming asked Bridget with a smile.

Bridget's pretty face was green and pale, and even her elder brother had no information. Obviously, this was the result of the secret communication and meeting of those who stood at the pinnacle of power.

Lu Ming looked at Medellin again, and said with a smile, "Mike, are you confident as my successor now?"

Medellin smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, I have a new understanding of you now."

……

On August 8, the Kingdom Council approved a special proposal from the Privy Council.

On the 6th, Lu Ming went to the imperial capital to accept the appointment of His Majesty the King.

At the same time, a grand conferment ceremony was held, and Lu Ming was conferred the title of Air Force Admiral by Henry II.

Served as Deputy Commander of the United Kingdom Air Force and Commander of the Gade Garrison Regiment.

According to the first rank of the United Kingdom, it is general, three-star general and five-star general.

Marshal of the Empire is similar to an honorary rank, which is only awarded in wartime.

There is no doubt that Lu Ming has become one of the most important senior generals in the United Kingdom military.

The ranking in the army should be within the top ten, probably the position of the top ten goalkeepers.

In the air force in the southwestern part of the kingdom, the new deputy commander of the air force has been authorized by His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister, and can be dispatched as appropriate when launching some secret military operations.

Of course, this is top-secret information that only generals above the division level of the Southwest Defense Force know.

They were also notified of the possible existence of the New World.
