Chapter 133 The Sicilian Family at the Celebration Banquet
"You mean, the military not only completes revenge but also gives the surrounding armed forces a warning?"
"Yes, your majesty, and these only take a few hours."
Looking at the battle report handed over, the battle ended in just a few minutes after the death of thousands of people. This is the modern war? Joseph never felt that he was a good person, but at this time he realized the insignificance of life for the first time.
"Masce, do you recommend such acts of force?"
With a hint of confusion in the question, killing is certainly the fastest way, but now it is the new century. There is obviously no executioner who loves peace and is more popular with the people, although this is not what Joseph wants. In fact, this is also the main reason why Joseph does not want to participate. He is afraid that he will let the desert be contaminated with too much blood. He resents everything that dares to disobey and provokes any existence that he means.
"Not recommended, but I have no right to refuse, my Majesty!"
Marceau naturally disapproves of using force, but she has no right to stop it when facing the previous situation. Of course, she would not care about the life and death of those militants, but what he cared about was the civilians who died unjustly.
"It seems that Marceau will be more in our interests to become the manager here in the future, right? Smith."
"The Western Sahara region already has a tough military, and what it lacks now is a governor with a gentle character. If possible, I agree with the statement that Masso is the most suitable manager."
There are many things happening in the Ministry of the Interior. Smith has been delaying too long in the Western Sahara, so he is very happy to see Joseph making Marceau take charge of this place, but his words are all true.
"So, this is also a small agreement between us."
The two of them chuckled and decided on this matter, not caring about Marceau's opinion at all. Of course, it is impossible to make Marceau the governor of the Western Sahara region now. They can only be responsible for the entire place as the assistant to the cabinet prime minister.
On the afternoon of that day, the Nord army wandering in the central and southern parts of the Western Sahara Desert finally returned, and the tragedy in the middle and southern parts also stopped happening, but they left behind countless broken limbs and orphans and widows.
The celebration banquet must be held. Joseph does not want to be ignored. Even if the group of executioners he invited, who can know that the biggest executioner is this young man under fifteen years old?
"Col. First celebrate your return!"
Of course, it is not possible to entertain all officers and soldiers, including some officers and the rest of them outside. This is a tradition.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The colonel in charge of the combat command had a smile on his face and just finished speaking, Joseph reached out to stop what he wanted to continue, and leaned into his ear and said quietly: "I don't want the future days to be full of assassination and dissatisfaction. There are some things you should know how to do."
You should know how to do it! The Colonel of course knew it, but this sentence made the Colonel feel a little scared because behind this sentence were the thousands of lives, most of which were old, weak, women and children... After saying this, Joseph still kept his smile just now, as if the words were not what the Colonel imagined.
"Latu, 1970?"
"Your Majesty has great eyesight. It is indeed Latour from 1970. This was given to me by a friend in France. Today, your Majesty holds a banquet and I think the best red wine should be given."
The person who spoke was the owner of a five-star hotel in Ayuen. The Governor's Mansion was still being renovated, so it is not suitable for banqueting this group of officers. Then the hotel is undoubtedly the best choice. Smith recommended this one. Now it seems that the reason for the recommendation should be the boss.
He looks like he is nearly fifty years old, and he looks like an Italian immigrant. Although he speaks French, he has a western flavor, which makes Joseph guess his other identities.
"Thank you..."
At this time, Joseph remembered that he didn't know the other party's name and hesitated to look at the hotel owner. The boss who saw this scene did not feel that he was disrespected. After all, his identity was not at the same level as Joseph, and it was natural for him not to know that he should.
"Antonio, Antonio Denicora."
The Denikola family is unrestrained! When Joseph heard the name, he felt a sudden realization. He finally understood the meaning of Smith's recommendation of this hotel. Denikola is a local family in Sicily, because after the last time of Earl of Singera, Joseph had never dealt with the mafia again. Perhaps they were inevitably a little nervous and panicked.
If we can understand Joseph's attitude towards Sicily or the attitude towards their Denikola family through this meeting, then they can prescribe the right medicine.
"Mr. Antonio, I would like to thank you for your concessions for your last cousin."
"We did not know the identity of Earl Singra in time. We should thank us for our forgiveness."
Antonio is very polite. If you only look at your performance and posture, it is probably hard for people to imagine that this person is the legendary leader of the Sicilian mafia.
There is a saying that too much is too little, especially now it is the celebration banquet for Officer Nord. Antonio respectfully retreated after talking casually for a few words. His approach obviously once again gained some of Joseph's favor.
"Actually, our local red wine in Nord tastes good, at least not inferior to the Latu in 1970."
Looking at Antonio leaving, Joseph casually joked and changed the topic, and Smith also helped to transfer the topic to red wine.
"I remember in a note that the Ragna family and the Xigang family had a very close friendship. Maybe Mr. Antonio gave these bottles of Latu just because he knew about this."
The Xigang family? Fortunately, Joseph remembers most of the British and French noble families in his studies recently, otherwise Smith's words would only embarrass and embarrass Joseph.
The Xigang family was once the largest wine estate owner in France. Latour Winery or Latour Winery was controlled by the Xigang family for nearly 300 years.
Although the Xigang family later became unfamiliar because of the division of property, even now their family still has extraordinary influence in France. In fact, the winery itself has extraordinary influence, but it is a bit involved now, and Joseph is not easy to take action, otherwise these wineries would not be able to escape Joseph's control.
"His Majesty?"
Thinking of this, Joseph couldn't help but feel distracted. He didn't come back to his senses until Smith reminded him. Looking at the hotel lobby that was about to end, Joseph also talked casually and said goodbye and left.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to put Marceau in charge of the entire Western Sahara?"
Smith also lives in the Governor's Mansion for the time being, so the two of them are in the same car. Although Marceau also lives there, her identity naturally cannot be the same as Smith.
"I need you to stay for a while until Marceau can handle it independently."
"I understand what to do, Your Majesty!"
