My Endless Life

Dong, Dong, Dong——

Borent knocked on the door in front of him.

A deep voice soon came from the room:

"Come in."

Borent, holding the document, pushed the door open and saw a figure with his back to him.

The figure stood in front of the window, one hand behind his back and the other holding a cigarette, wondering what he was thinking.

Hearing the movement behind him, the figure turned around and saw Borent:

"It's you, sit down first."

The burly man with white stubble pointed to the seat next to Borent with the hand holding the cigarette.

Borent did not refuse. He first put the document in his hand on the desk next to the man, and then sat down on the sofa.

The man's eyes were attracted by the document, and he took a look at the seal on it and asked:

"Is this your...'Sharp Knife' plan?"

"Yes, Chief of Staff, the specific contents are all in it."

Borent nodded in response.

The man he called the Chief of Staff did not speak, he just opened the document and looked at it silently.

He smoked and read.

Borent was not in a hurry, so he waited on the side.

The man in front of Borent was a major general of the military staff headquarters and the chief of staff of the military.

His name was Eamon Haig, and he was one of the few legendary figures who sat in this position as a civilian.

His prestige in the military was only lower than that of Marshal Remus.

Borent was now his subordinate.

Chief of Staff Eamon took the document brought by Borent and read it for a while before putting it aside.

He did not talk about the content of the document, nor did he ask Borent about any questions about the document.

Instead, he suddenly asked:

"After dealing with that group of traditionalists, do you want to come to the General Staff? I can guarantee that you will at least have the title of brigadier general by then."

Borent smiled and said:

"Even if I'm not in the General Staff, am I not working for you?"

"It's different." Emon shook his head: "In the Intelligence Department, you have limited access to things and cannot really participate in the military's decision-making, but it's different in the General Staff."

Emon was right.

The Intelligence Department is a newly established department not long ago, and its predecessor was the shadow troops of the royal family. It used to be hidden in the dark, and only recently was it brought to the surface and called the Intelligence Department.

Its roots are actually on the traditional side.

If the marshal hadn't taken the Intelligence Department, it would not have been Borent's turn to be the Minister of the Intelligence Department.

But even so, limited by the struggle between the reformists and the traditionalists, the future of the Intelligence Department has been determined.

People here will never be able to enter the core layer of the country in the future.

If Borent continues to stay here, it will be bad for the future.

But Borent was very calm about this. He smiled and said:

"Let's talk about it after everything is over."

"Then I don't know when we have to wait."

Emon blew out a smoke ring and said slowly.

Originally, the struggle between the reformists and the traditionalists should have ended soon.

But who could have thought that the international situation changed so quickly, and Farol and England launched a war against Uno at the same time.

With external pressure, Uno naturally dared not have too serious disputes.

Unless...

They can resolve the "battle" with the traditionalists within a day.

"So, they still refuse to give in?"

Seeing Emon's melancholy look, Borent asked.

Emon shook his head: "That damn nobles, it's already this time, and they still hold the key position, huh... a bunch of garbage!"

Emon's words were disdainful and vaguely angry.

Borent knew where his anger came from.

Perhaps some people would wonder why they always feel that Uno's military system is so strange.

The intelligence minister is only a major.

The chief of staff, Emon, is a general, but he is the lowest rank, a major general.

To put it even lower, the captain of a battalion is only a second lieutenant.

The front-line medical minister, such an important position, Bailey was only a lieutenant during her tenure.

It gives people a very strange feeling.

But in fact, it is not that the military does not want to give them higher positions, but because these high positions are controlled by nobles.

The nobles of the Principality of Uno are very traditional. They attach great importance to honor and do not allow any civilians to sit on their heads.

Therefore, in some official positions, the incumbent members must be nobles!

Even if this official position is just an empty title and has no rights, they cannot let anyone sit on their heads.

Therefore, the military has a total of three generals, six lieutenant generals, eight major generals, and twelve brigadier generals. Most of those who hold important positions are hovering between major generals and brigadier generals.

The positions of three generals and six lieutenant generals are almost all occupied by nobles.

There is only one general who is loyal to the marshal, who is considered an ordinary noble.

This also leads to other generals in lower-level important positions, whose highest military rank is only colonel.

Even so, there are many who are also members of the nobility.

They don't work, and don't care that they don't have real power. They just want this honor, the "honor" that can be suppressed on others.

The so-called "honor of the nobility".

This is also one of the reasons why Aemon is secretly angry.

At this time, he still clings to his own interests.

Do they really have to wait until Falor comes to the capital before they know to give up?

Thinking of those nobles, Aemon's blood pressure was a little high. He took a deep breath and it took him a long time to calm down the blood rushing to his head. Then Aemon changed the subject and said:

"Forget it, let's not talk about them... By the way, I see that you have more than one document here. In addition to the 'soldiers' using magic orbs, there is also a 'lead' plan?"

"Yes, send spies to find ways to start civil strife within the enemy country and involve their energy... I am already doing this, but there are not many suitable personnel at the moment."

Bolent responded.

Aemon nodded and pointed at the file placed aside:

"Okay, I agree with both of your plans. Just go ahead and do it. If you need anything, just tell me."

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Bolent stood up and saluted.

Eamon waved his hand and said, "Don't do this to me. I support you, but I want to see the results in two years. If you don't produce corresponding results within two years, then these two plans will be useless." Let’s put it aside for now.”

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff." Bolent smiled, "In less than two years, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

…

"Aren't you going to the tea party today too?"

In the bedroom arranged for Li Qi, Claudia looked at Li Qi sitting by the window reading a book and asked helplessly.

Li Qi, who was only wearing simple home clothes at the moment, said without raising his head:

"No need, I don't want to see those nobles."

"But as a noble lady, socializing at the tea party is a must..."

"It doesn't matter once in a while, but you seem to be having dance parties every day?"

Li Qi put down the book and looked at Claudia expressionlessly.

It's not that he can't accept attending tea parties or dances. After all, he is now the young lady of the Angulo family.

On the second day after arriving, in order to better suit his status, Li Qi attended the noble's dance even though he was reluctant.

That day was quite pleasant. Although many male nobles came to chat with Li Qi like a peacock, Li Qi still chose to ignore these unpleasant things for the sake of the delicious food at the ball.

But then on the third night, there was still a dance to be held, and Li Qi's mentality changed slightly.

Especially after that, I received invitations to so-called ‘tea parties’, ‘outing’ invitations, and invitations to go to the theater to enjoy an opera together.

Li Qi couldn't hold himself any longer.

What are you doing!

Do you nobles have nothing to do every day?

Either have a dance or a tea party, or go out to play, or go to enjoy the opera?

Li Qi's mentality became a little unbalanced when he thought that he had risked his life on the front line to protect the country, but the nobles in the rear were eating, drinking and having fun every day like fools.

He even wished he could kill all these idiots who were just sitting there doing nothing every day!

So Li Qi was not pretending to be noble when he went to the dance. He was protecting those nobles and himself.

Otherwise, he is really afraid that he will not be able to bear it and kill them all!
