Firepower is king

The party was very joyful.

Gao Guang did not dare to act recklessly, but now, he did not have to be as cautious as before.

He did not dare to get carried away, but after Lloyd went up, Gao Guang, as Lloyd's staunch ally and loyal comrade, would be hypocritical if he kept a low profile as before.

So the party called to celebrate the recovery of the leg injury was actually to celebrate Lloyd's promotion. This was a double happiness, and everyone related to Gao Guang could celebrate it.

The left leg muscles were a little weak, and Gao Guang habitually protected his left leg, so Gao Guang did not move much today, but when he accepted the congratulations of many relatives and friends today, he made an exception and drank a lot of wine.

When you are happy in life, you must enjoy it to the fullest. Even Mike, who never drank a drop of alcohol, made an exception and drank a few glasses. Gao Guang felt that today was a perfect day for three happinesses.

Lola looked particularly beautiful today. Although she was not very good at dressing up and putting on makeup, today was a special day. Sarah did not leave. She personally helped Lola choose a dress and put on makeup for Lola.

Before, I always felt a little psychological burden when I saw Lola, because Gao Guang always felt that Lola was forced upon him by Otto, so the relationship between them was established, but Gao Guang and Lola were limited to holding hands and kissing at most.

Wedding night, when one's name is on the list of successful candidates.

Lloyd's promotion is equivalent to being on the list of successful candidates, and by the way, a wedding night, isn't it a double beauty. Just today, Gao Guang decided that after everyone else left, it was time to make a breakthrough.

The anticipated moment finally arrived, Gao Guang raised his voice and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, time is up, let's watch the news."

It's evening, time is up, it's time to centrally appoint some generals.

Promotion to the level of admiral is very troublesome, but Lloyd's special thing is that he will get the position first, and after getting the position of commander of the European Command, he will be recommended by the ministers of the three armed forces, or the joint operations command, and then approved by the Senate, then both the position and the rank will be solved.

Another route is the special appointment by the president, and Lloyd has met all the hard indicators, so as long as the president gives him a special appointment tonight, temporarily acting as the commander of Europe, and his rank is promoted after the job is done, then everything will be done.

Although the appointment ceremony will not be broadcast live, the news will be released as soon as possible. At that time, several news channels will at least broadcast the news in the form of text scrolling as soon as possible.

According to the time, the appointment ceremony is about to begin.

There are many people, but everyone has quieted down. They watch a news station at random, but no one is interested in the news being broadcast. Everyone is watching the string of text messages at the bottom of the screen.

Hold your breath and wait for the arrival of good news.

Mike came to Gao Guang's side. He held a glass of wine and couldn't help but put his arm on Gao Guang's shoulder, whispering: "Boss! Really, I am so happy today. Congratulations, you finally... Finally"

Mike couldn't say anything finally. Gao Guang whispered: "Wait, don't say it yet, the news is coming out soon. "

It is impossible to keep such a big promotion secret in advance. Lloyd will definitely get the news in advance, and since he said it has been done, it is a done deal.

But it is not officially announced, so it does not count. There is still a trace of worry. Finally, the text message came out.

Lola couldn't help but said, "There is news." A line of words began to appear on the screen.

"The latest news is that the President has made new appointments to a group of generals, appointing Air Force General Ted Walsh as the commander of the European Command, and appointing Lieutenant General Lloyd as the president's special military adviser. "

When Falk Walsh's name came out, Gao Guang felt bad, and after a line of words was displayed, he suddenly felt dizzy.

It's not Lloyd, it's Falk Walsh, from the Air Force, who took over the post of commander in Europe.

Lloyd's position is not bad, special military adviser, but compared to the commander in Europe, this position seems too useless now.

My head is a little dizzy, and my ears are buzzing. Gao Guang shook his head. He shook his head and looked at the people around him. Could it be that he was drunk and his eyes were blurry?

Mike's expression had frozen. His arm was still on Gao Guang's shoulder, but it suddenly became much heavier.

Jane raised her head and gently moved her neck, but Sarah looked at Gao Guang with a frown after a brief shock.

John didn't sit in a wheelchair today. He used a prosthesis. After seeing the text on the news, his face was full of surprise.

Ricardo looked at Gao Guang with a worried look on his face. He was shocked and took a step towards Gao Guang, but he didn't say a word. Deathly silence.

Gao Guang swallowed hard, then he smiled and raised his glass, saying: "Well, let's continue drinking. "

Lola picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. Then Mike quietly took the arm that was on Gao Guang's shoulder. He held the wine glass and forced a smile with great difficulty on his dark face. He wanted to say something, but in the end he drank the wine in the glass.

It shouldn't be like this. How could something that was already set in stone suddenly change? Gao Guang was in a mess, but he didn't want to show it.

There is actually no point in pretending to be calm. Lloyd's appointment has changed, and he lost the commander he had obtained, which means that something went wrong. I don't know where the problem is, but it is obvious that the problem is very serious.

One situation is that Lloyd can't keep his cool and starts to show off anxiously after getting the wind. That is his own problem, but

this is okay, at most Lloyd didn't understand the situation.

Another situation is that Lloyd was successfully blocked by competitors.

Lloyd is definitely not the kind of person who can't keep his cool, so it can only be the second situation, Lloyd was played hard by others. If you don't advance, you will retreat. After Lloyd's duck flew away, Gao Guang's life will be difficult.

If the commander in Europe is snatched away by competitors, how can Gao Guang do business in the future? It's not even a question of whether the business can continue, but whether Gao Guang can survive.

When one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer.

But Gao Guang didn't want to show his disappointment and panic. If the boss panics first, what can the people below do, so Gao Guang must appear very calm.

When Gao Guang turned around, his face was full of smiles. He raised his glass and said, "Cheers to General Lloyd for his new appointment."

"Cheers!"

"Cheers."

The atmosphere did not cool down immediately. It was even more enthusiastic and cheerful than before. Everyone was talking happily, but if you listen carefully, you will find that the conversation has become meaningless nonsense.

Some people know what is going on, but some people are slow to react, or they don't know the difference between Lloyd being in office or not, such as Francisco. He really thinks that Lloyd being a special military adviser is also good news worth celebrating.

But there are still many people who understand that Gao Guang should have something important to say, so although the atmosphere seems very warm, it still cools down too quickly.

The party lasted only ten minutes. When Sarah left first, the crowd quickly dispersed. In the end, only Gao Guang and Laura, Jane and Ricardo were left.

Ricardo said to Gao Guang, "Is there anything I need to clean up?"

Ricardo was very careful, but Gao Guang smiled and said, "It's okay, you go back, um, no, you stay and wait for news."

Jane is a member of the shooting club, she must know what happened.

Lola, she really doesn't understand this kind of thing, but at least she knows that something big has happened, and she can guess that the situation is not very good. The four people sat there until Jane suddenly said, "This situation is obviously wrong, I judge."

Jane was rarely a little irritable, she took out a cigarette box, put a cigarette in her mouth, and then she said solemnly, "It depends on where the problem is, but we are in trouble."

If it was just a failure in the competition, there would be nothing to say, but if something that was almost set in stone suddenly had a big reversal, then the smell of conspiracy was too strong.

Now we can only wait for Lloyd's news, but he is now in the White House, and it is impossible for him to tell Gao Guang what happened too quickly. Finally, half an hour after seeing the news on the news, Gao Guang's phone rang

Gao Guang answered the phone immediately, and then he heard Lloyd whisper in a calm but slow tone: "Have you seen the news?"

"Yes, what happened?"

Lloyd sighed softly, and then he continued to whisper: "This morning, the president personally called me and told me that he would appoint me as the commander in Europe, but in the evening, he directly announced the appointment of Fock as the commander in Europe. I don't know what happened, but Fock is the one over there."

The worst happened.

The winner is not the competitor, but the enemy!

The executive was silent for a moment, then he whispered: "How to deal with it?"

"Don't worry, special military advisers are also very important. There is no specific position, but they can intervene in everything. I lost, but not completely. The situation is not too bad now."

Lloyd comforted Gao Guang a little, then he whispered: "I suspect that the president's attitude has changed, but I don't know what has been done over there, so I have to find out why the president's attitude suddenly changed."

Gao Guang whispered: "If Fok is from that side, then we have to make concessions, be mentally prepared, take the initiative to shrink, and give up what we can't keep directly to avoid immediate conflict. The first goal now should be to preserve strength, General, what do you think?"

Lloyd's tone sounded calm, but Gao Guang knew that he was extremely angry.

So although Gao Guang was extremely disappointed, he did not forget to remind Lloyd, because he was afraid that Lloyd would do something irrational in extreme anger.

Those who achieve great things must at least recognize the situation and at least have a basis for advance and retreat.

Lloyd was silent for a moment, then he whispered: "I am relieved that you have this idea. Let's have a meeting tonight to discuss it. Wait for my news."

"Okay, we'll wait for your news."

This is a crisis that the shooting club needs to face collectively. The incident has happened. Let's see how to deal with it next. Gao Guang hung up the phone and looked at Jane.

Jane exhaled lightly, she forced a smile and said: "I was worried that you would be furious, but your reaction was better than I thought. You are very calm, so I have nothing to advise you. Wait for the news."

Before Jane's cigarette was lit, Gao Guang reached out and took out the cigarette case from Jane's hand. He opened it and took out a cigarette. Riccardo immediately took out a lighter from his pocket, lit Jane's cigarette first, and then Added smoke to the highlights.

Riccardo also lost his composure. He couldn't even remember to light a cigarette unless Gao Guang was holding it.

Gao Guang took a sip, and then he whispered to Jane: "I think this is a bit outrageous. Although I don't know how they did it over there, they broke the rules. Well, it's a blessing in disguise. Until the final results come out, who knows whether this is a good thing or a bad thing?”
