Directly appointed as commander-in-chief! ?

“Gudong——”

In the conference hall, swallowing sounds were heard one after another.

in,

Officials at the Ministry of Finance were the most excited.

Because they know very well that the power to distribute money is second only to the power of personnel appointment and dismissal!

10,000 trillion North African CFA francs is almost equivalent to the government’s fiscal revenue for ten years. If they can become the commander-in-chief of the “Five-Year Infrastructure Plan”, their power ranking within the government will immediately rank among the top twenty!

Under Sankara’s iron-fist policy and bloody purges.

The remaining officials,

They are not necessarily greedy for money, but they are definitely greedy for power!

because,

Even if you are an idealist,

We also need to hold power in order to implement our ideals and beliefs, otherwise everything will be a castle in the air.

After a brief moment of silence and shock.

In the conference hall,

There was an endless stream of speeches.

“President, I am honored to be the first to stand up and speak. I have some thoughts of my own regarding the Five-Year Infrastructure Plan…”

“President, colleagues, good morning. My idea is, when we are constructing urban power grids, sewers, etc., can our Ministry of Construction first issue a new urban layout plan…”

“President… we need to consider that when building railways and roads, what should we do if it involves occupying farmland or houses? It is to give…”

“I don’t agree with the previous colleague’s view. My idea is to build the railway first, and the highway can be temporarily slowed down, because the railway is the main transportation artery of a country and has greater strategic value!”

“…I see that the concept of highways has emerged abroad, so I wonder if we can use part of the funds for building roads and railways to build…”

“…”

Everyone was raising their hands, wanting to stand up and speak.

Even Minister of Construction Eric and Minister of Transportation Fernand want to compete for the position of commander-in-chief.

More than two hours later.

When the clock on the wall read 1:32 pm.

The bustling conference hall gradually became quiet.

Seeing that no one raised their hands, Sankara put down the pen in his hand and closed the notebook in front of him.

Then, he nodded with satisfaction and said:

“It’s past lunch time. If no one wants to continue speaking, then today’s meeting will end here. Let’s go eat first, so as not to get sick from hunger.

As for the commander-in-chief of the “Five-Year Infrastructure Plan”, after what I said just now, I probably have a few candidates in mind. You will know who they are when the documents are released in a few days.

Okay, that’s it for today, end of the meeting! ”

actually,

In Sankara’s mind, he had no idea who to appoint as the commander-in-chief of the “Five-Year Infrastructure Plan”.

Even the so-called candidates do not exist.

The reason why Sankara said this was mainly not to dampen the enthusiasm of everyone, but also to let this piece of pie continue to be here to see if there is a more suitable person to eat it.

“Yes, President!”

The officials who were still unfinished stood up one after another and opened their mouths to respond.

It can be seen from the expressions on their faces that after the fierce speech just now, they refuted and were refuted.

At this moment,

They were still a little excited and had not completely calmed down.

“??”

As soon as Sankara stepped out of the conference hall, he saw Defense Minister Carteret standing outside the door. From the look of him, it seemed that he had been standing here for a long time.

“Ouch! My dear President, you have finally come out!”

The moment he saw Sankara, Catele immediately came up to him and spoke, even with a little temper in his words.

“As the Minister of National Defense, wouldn’t you let your secretary wait here? Do you have to stand here to blow the cold wind?”

Sankara did not argue with him.

When he saw Catlay shivering from the cold, he just shook his head in confusion, and then asked directly:

“Did something happen on the front line again? There are many people here, let’s talk about it in my office!”

Cartel either doesn’t show up, and when he does show up, it’s basically related to the front line.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Sankara to guess why he came to find him.

Office of the President.

“Come, have a cup of hot tea and warm yourself up.”

Sankara handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to Catele and said.

Then, I saw CarterLai picked up the cup, blew on it a few times, and drank it in large gulps, as if he didn’t feel the heat at all.

“Gudu, Gudu…ah, I feel like my whole body has come alive!”

Carteret, who finished the drink in one breath, didn’t even put down the cup. He leaned back, leaned on the backrest of the sofa, and said happily.

“…”

Sankara shook his head speechlessly, and then asked:

“Tell me, what happened on the front line? It shouldn’t be an emergency, right? Otherwise, would you still have the time to play tricks on me here?”

“hey-hey……”

Carteret smiled stupidly.

Then, he quickly put down the tea cup, sat up straight, put his hands on his knees, and spoke like a good student, and reported:

“More than three hours ago, the Ministry of National Defense received news from the front line in Niger that the FLO suddenly retreated across the board, and all the land occupied by them has now been recovered by our army.”

“Full retreat?”

Sankara was stunned for a moment, then asked:

“Do you know why they retreated? The French probably won’t allow them to retreat!”

“Not sure yet!”

Carteret shook his head and replied:

“However, based on the intelligence coming back from the front line, our Ministry of National Defense’s analysis is that it may be that the top leaders of the FNL simply couldn’t bear the casualties anymore, so they chose to retreat.

As for France, we don’t know the specific situation. We need further information before we can conduct analysis and speculation. ”

“What about the situation in Bugani? How is it now? The anti-government coalition forces that attacked Bugani have also retreated?”

Sankara continued to ask.

Ten days after the FNL launched its attack on Nigeria.

That was December 15th, six days ago.

With the coordination and support of the French North African Strategic Intelligence Service.

Five or six anti-government armed forces, much smaller than the FNL, formed a coalition of anti-government armed forces and launched an attack on Bugani.

Because Sankara was prepared in advance.

The government forces successfully blocked their attack more than 20 kilometers east of Bugani.

Due to various reasons, the anti-government armed coalition with a strength of 20,000 has not even been able to see the urban area of ​​Bugani until now.

Even the battle line has only advanced less than 200 meters!
