Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 228 Young people dare to think and act!
Staff Officer Maker's face didn't show any strange expression at Roman's words. He nodded slightly and replied with a smile:

"If this is General Roman's request, I believe the president would be happy to discuss it with you in person."

A strange look appeared on Roman's face. He was a little surprised by the other party's straightforward attitude.

It seems that Commander Jose's previous analysis was correct. The big boss behind the Dawn Society is also starting to get anxious. If he doesn't take any action, he will sooner or later be caught by Viscount Claude for revenge and liquidation.

General Roman, who is at the heart of Silver Frost, commands one of the few "conventional" armies in the country, is of civilian origin, has the backing of the top tycoons of the Kingdom of Ceylon, and has a huge network of power relations in the military, is a very suitable object for unity.

Roman calmed down and replied in a deep voice:
"I hope it will be as soon as possible, time waits for no one!"

Staff Officer Mek gestured to Roman to wait, then quickly returned to one of the tents, as if he wanted to contact someone.

Roman didn't have to wait too long. Staff Officer Maker strode out with an excited expression and said loudly:

"General Roman, the president has agreed to meet with you immediately."

Roman's heart moved and he asked:

"When?"

Staff Officer Meck replied directly:

"If General, you don't have anything else to do today, why not now?"

Roman narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of solemnity appearing deep in his eyes.

Now?

This means that the big boss behind the Dawn Society is very close to the capital, and is even working in Frost Star City!

Then Commander Jose's guess about this person's identity was wrong.

The person behind the scenes is not the commander of a military region, but a big shot in the capital's military circle.

It was really beyond General Roman's expectation that a person of this level would take the lead in opposing Claude.

Because the military pay and supplies that Viscount Claude embezzled all came from the field armies in major war zones, and he was still very wary of the armies of the Chief Police Department and the Special Warfare Department, so he had no intention of attacking them.

Logically speaking, the military leaders in the capital area should not have any deep hatred towards Claude.

Roman couldn't help but have a guess in his mind. Could it be that this was just a simple political struggle, and the motive of the person behind the scenes was to use this as an excuse to get rid of Claude?
This is also what Roman is most worried about. He still has simple class feelings towards the officers of civilian origin. What Chief of Staff Meck said about his actions over the years is not entirely to win people's hearts.

He also hopes that soldiers with similar backgrounds as himself can get relatively fairer opportunities and their talents will not be buried.

If the president of the Dawn Society really just wanted to unite these grassroots officers as tools for political struggle, then Roman would be very disappointed.

Luo Man suppressed the useless thoughts in his mind and asked in a deep voice:
"Where shall we meet?"

Staff Officer Meck smiled and replied:

"To show our sincerity, our president has decided to meet with the general at the Frost Star Veterans Club."

The Frost Star Veterans Club is basically Roman's territory. The other party chose to meet here, which shows his sincerity. However, this also indirectly confirms that the other party is indeed a big shot in the capital's military circle.

After all, not everyone can enter the Frost Star Veterans Club.

Roman's face turned amiable and he asked:
"now?"

Staff Officer Meck nodded and replied:

"Right now, to be honest, the president is in Froststar City. He can get to the club faster than us. Please come in."

Such swift and decisive action can also cut off the possibility of an ambush being arranged in advance. The president of the Dawn Society has considered everything very carefully.

Roman no longer had any objections and followed Mek to secretly go to the Frost Star Legion Club.

……

Both of them were extraordinary people of a high level. In less than half an hour, they had arrived at the Frost Star Veterans Club.

Staff Officer Maker led Roman directly to the top-floor box.

Roman felt even more solemn in his heart. There were not many people in the entire capital's military circle who could have a long private room in the top floor box.

That means he must know the president of the Dawn Society, and maybe they have even met and greeted each other.

who can that be?

Roman quickly ran through the names of the people he could think of in his mind.

He couldn't help but feel confused. It seemed that these people had no reason to go against the Chief of the Army General Staff, Viscount Claude. To be more precise, those who could hold such a high position in the capital's military circle had extremely close relationships with the Chief of the Army General Staff.

He is now looking forward to the true identity of the person behind the scenes!
Stopping in front of a box door, Roman shook his head slightly. For the sake of absolute confidentiality, many of the boxes on the top floor were owned by the Army Headquarters.

Even as one of the shareholders of the Invalides Club, Roman was not very clear about the real owners of many boxes.

Mek gestured to Roman to wait, then knocked on the door gently and whispered:

"Sir, General Roman has arrived."

A calm and gentle voice came from the box:

"Let the General in."

Roman's eyes moved slightly. The voice in the box was very familiar. He must have heard it more than once!
Before Roman could recall where he had heard this voice, Staff Officer Maker took a step back and whispered to Roman:

"General, please go in by yourself. The president wants to speak to you alone."

Roman suppressed his complicated thoughts, stretched out his hand and forcefully pushed open the door of the box. What came into his sight was a middle-aged man in an old green military uniform.

The middle-aged man was tall and straight, his posture as resolute as a pine tree. With his hands behind his back and his back to Roman, he was looking at the scenery of the entire Frost Star City through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the middle-aged man turned around and revealed his true face.

The man had a well-defined face, and his bronze skin exuded the texture of years of military service. His eyes were deep and bright, flashing with a sharp light.

The leather belt around his waist highlighted his strong waist, with a sword hanging on the belt. He held a baton in his right hand and his eyes fell on Roman, who immediately felt the cold pressure coming towards him.

Seeing this man's true appearance, Roman couldn't help but widen his eyes, with deep shock and horror condensing in the depths of his eyes.

Then he reacted and stood proudly, quickly and forcefully bringing his right heel together next to his left heel, making a crisp clacking sound. He gave a standard military salute, his eyes firm and focused, and his voice extremely powerful, and said:
"Roman Blade, Colonel Commander of the Special Operations Division of the Army Headquarters, please give your instructions, Your Excellency the Director!"

The middle-aged officer smiled gently, his voice indescribably kind:

"General Roman, don't be nervous. This is not the military base, and there is no Army Military Police Director.

I am from the fourth term of the Army Academy, so I can be considered as your senior. Please sit down. It is time for us seniors and juniors to sit together and have a good chat.

I've been watching you for a long time!"

The Director of Military Police of the Silver Frost Principality’s Army Headquarters, Redinoz Hammer, holds the rank of General and is in charge of all military police forces within the Silver Frost Principality.

The military police is responsible for maintaining military discipline, ensuring the execution of military orders, and organizing military courts. It is a special military force with the nature of judicial police and has enormous power.

There is no soldier who is not afraid of the military police, and as the head of the military police, Redinoz is a person that all officers are afraid of!

Legend has it that this military police chief had personally executed several military commanders above the rank of major general, so he had a terrifying nickname in the army - the general butcher!
Roman naturally had a deep fear and dread of this military police inspector.

But he never expected that the Army Military Police Chief was actually the president of the Dawn Society!

This fact had a huge impact on Roman, because Redinolz had another identity. He was related to the family of Viscount Claude, the Chief of the Army General Staff, by marriage.

His youngest son married Viscount Claude's daughter, and the two families had a very close relationship. Redinoz had always been regarded as the sharpest and most vicious knife in Viscount Claude's hand.

Even the recent execution of the core officers of the Dawn Society who led the riot by Claude was an action arranged by Redinoz himself.

Roman racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Redynolz was the boss behind the Dawn Society!
What is he planning?
In terms of status, he is second only to the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the Army General Staff in the entire military system. Even the Chief Police Inspector and the Commander of the Special Warfare Department have to give face to this Military Police Inspector.

In terms of development prospects, Redinolz is almost the designated successor to Viscount Claude as the next Chief of the Army General Staff.

There seemed to be no reason for such a person to risk breaking with Viscount Claude and develop such a secret organization in the army.

Redinolz made a cup of tea for Roman, who accepted it with trepidation, feeling a sense of unreality.

If a butcher pours tea for himself, no one would believe it if the news got out.

Redinolz's voice sounded gently:
"I'm very happy to see you here. You're the one who's made the most progress and has the most potential since the tenth term of Lu Shi.

Of course, it is supported by your background, but it is also inseparable from your own personal abilities and qualities."

Roman immediately said seriously:
"It's mainly due to the care and cultivation of the Director and the other leaders!"

Redinolz waved his hand slightly:

"You must be surprised to see me here."

Roman hesitated, then nodded slowly:
"Sir, I really didn't expect that you would be the president of the Dawn Society."

Redinolz stared at Roman for a long moment before slowly speaking, revealing a secret that shocked Roman to the core:

"Sir Lyon... He is my best friend!" Sir Lyon!

Perhaps outsiders would not be moved by this name, but as soldiers of the Silver Frost Army, especially officers of civilian origin like General Roman, after hearing this name, a trace of respect would emerge from the bottom of their hearts.

Sir Lyon was born into the prestigious Silver Frost noble family. His ancestors had served as the Silver Frost Marshal and the Minister of Defense. He was a veritable military family and a powerful class.

He has lived a wealthy life since childhood, enjoying wealth and splendor. However, unlike most of the pampered and arrogant children of the rich and powerful, Sir Lyon witnessed the difficulties and hardships faced by lower-level officers and soldiers during his military training, and was deeply shocked.

After graduating from the military academy, he gave up the position of deputy captain of the Grand Duke's Guard arranged for him by his family, and took the initiative to request to be sent to the field army as a grassroots company commander, to work hard with the soldiers.

During his tenure in the field army, Sir Lyon often paid out of his own pocket to provide assistance to poor soldiers, and also spoke up for grassroots soldiers whose achievements were appropriated by their superiors. With his help and support, a large number of soldiers of civilian origin took up leadership positions.

Sir Lyon holds a very high prestige in the entire Silver Frost Army.

He also rose from the most basic company commander to the position of commander of the First Military Region, commanding the five largest field armies in the entire Silver Frost.

He had witnessed the extravagant lifestyle of the powerful and the serious imbalance in the distribution of military logistical resources. Therefore, after taking office, he ruthlessly took action against the powerful, used ruthless means to rectify the military atmosphere and redistribute resources.

That period can be said to be the most prosperous and thriving time in the entire Silver Frost Principality’s military.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Although Sir Lyon's actions brought benefits to a group of grassroots commanders and fighters, they stirred up a hornet's nest among the powerful.

Those nobles whose interests were affected began to unite to deal with him. At the beginning, Sir Lyon was able to deal with them by relying on his family's power and status.

But with Viscount Claude taking office as Chief of the Army General Staff, the situation gradually deteriorated.

With Viscount Claude's sister nagging Grand Duke Silver Frost day and night, the Grand Duke finally adopted the majority opinion and dismissed Sir Lyon.

Having lost his status and power, Sir Lyon was soon framed for treason and had to retire in disgrace, ending his military career prematurely. He died of illness shortly afterwards.

If Roman remembered correctly, the person who handled Sir Lyon's case at the time seemed to be Redinoz, who was then the Deputy Chief of Military Police of the Army Headquarters.

It was with this token of allegiance that Redinolz officially became the confidant of Viscount Claude, the Chief of the Army General Staff. Soon after, with Claude's help and support, he was promoted to the Chief of the Army Military Police.

Roman's memories came to an abrupt end when Redinolz's voice rang out:

“Leon is the founder and president of the Dawn Society. I just took over his business and continued it.

Leon already knew his fate at the time. He told me that what he regretted most was not learning to lie low and wait, and that he had offended too many people.

He hopes that I will inherit his business, use him as a bargaining chip, show my goodwill to Claude, and lurk beside Claude, waiting to collect evidence of his crimes and launch a decisive attack.

Having said this, Redinolz's face showed a look of dejection and sadness, and he shook his head and said:

"I thought I had collected enough detailed and strong evidence to bring down Claude.

That’s why we secretly sent a few core members of the Dawn Society to expose Claude’s crimes to His Highness, but we didn’t expect…”

Grand Duke Silver Frost's attitude of protecting Viscount Claude made Redinolz feel endless despair. His action also increased the risk of being exposed. Claude could find out at any time that he was the mastermind behind everything.

A fierce look appeared on Redinolz's face, and his razor-sharp gaze pierced Roman. His voice was low and deep:

"You should already understand my attitude. What does General Roman think?"

Without even a second's hesitation, Roman replied in a deep voice:
"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke has been completely bewitched by Claude.

As Silver Frost soldiers, we have the obligation and responsibility to show His Highness who is truly a loyal subject of Silver Frost!"

Roman's clear statement surprised and delighted Redinolz.

Roman's position is very important. Not only does he control the few "conventional" armies in the entire country, but he also has the support of the big capitalists from the Kingdom of Ceylon.

If he could get Roman's help, the probability of his success would be greater, and at worst he would have a way to retreat from the Kingdom of Ceylon.

Redinolz calmed down and quickly expressed his thoughts to Roman - a military remonstration.

He gathered most of the senior military men and made suggestions to His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, requesting His Royal Highness to depose Viscount Claude. Redinoz was ready to contact Prime Minister Faria secretly, who also deeply detested Claude's actions.

However, all this still requires detailed planning, and His Royal Highness the Grand Duke must first feel the pressure, and this pressure is to take over the entire Grand Duke's Palace and the defense of the capital.

Facing Redinolz's proposal, Roman was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke:
"General, do you still harbor illusions about our Grand Duke?"

Roman's words stunned Redinozzi for a moment, and there was a deep and mysterious emotion in the depths of his eyes. The atmosphere in the box suddenly became tense.

Redinozz suddenly felt that he had always underestimated the young leader.

Roman pretended not to notice Redinolz's eyes and expression, and his tone became much sterner and colder:
"General, I have a better plan...get rid of the bugs and shoot the sun!"

Redinolz's expression froze. After a brief silence, he spoke in a complicated tone:
"You young people are the ones who dare to think and act!"

At this moment, Roman exuded an aura that even the one nicknamed "General Butcher" was a little fearful and frightened.

Following a lord who could talk to the gods on an equal footing and suppress the two empires, his vision and mentality had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Roman's voice was filled with a chilling coldness, and his words were truly outrageous:
"General, five hundred years ago, Grand Duke Yinshuang was just a small military officer!

General, history is now in your hands!"

There was a look of confusion in Redinolz's eyes. He had shown up today on his own initiative, originally intending to persuade Roman to join his camp and make a protest to Grand Duke Silver Frost.

How come in the end, it turned out that the other party was persuading me to launch a military coup directly?
The atmosphere in the box became extremely complicated.

After a long time, Redinolz finally asked:
"Is this what the Kingdom of Ceylon means?"

Roman had the courage and confidence to launch a military coup. Redinoz could only think that he had the support and endorsement of the Kingdom of Ceylon.

Roman shook his head and replied in a deep voice:
"It has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Ceylon, but I do have someone supporting me. This person is countless times more powerful than the Kingdom of Ceylon!"

Redinolz was shocked. If he had not carefully investigated Roman's character, he would have thought that the other party was talking nonsense. He was countless times more powerful than a kingdom. Could it be that the other party's backers were the five great empires?
How can it be?

How could the five great empires, high and mighty, domineering over the clouds, care about the regime change of a small principality!

Redinolz was wrong. In the past, the five empires and similar powerful organizations would not have any interest in a small country like the Silver Frost Principality.

Silver Frost does have rare energy minerals, but in the eyes of the five empires, there is no need to destroy their image for these things.

However, all this will change in a few years.

When the struggle for hegemony among nations begins, all energy minerals will immediately become scarce and hot resources, and the small countries that possess these resources will undoubtedly become fat meat in the eyes of those big countries.

In fact, in the previous life's game process, the Silver Frost Principality was destroyed by the Western Region Empire next to it shortly after the start of the War of Nations.

This is also Cohen's real purpose of taking over the Silver Frost Principality without attracting the attention of most people.

Looking at General Roman's determined expression, Redinolz also fell into hesitation.

In his opinion, as long as Viscount Claude was dealt with, there was no need to plunge the Silver Frost Duchy into war.

But Roman's intention was obviously to bring down even Grand Duke Yinshuang, which was treason in other words, and it was too difficult to make this decision.

Facing the hesitant Redynols, Roman narrowed his eyes and whispered:
"General, do you know the specific details of the Prime Minister's visit to the Western Region Empire?

Is the Western Region Empire willing to mediate the relationship between us and Effiin?"

Redinolz looked slightly startled and said:

"According to Prime Minister Faria, it seems that the Western Region Empire has agreed."

Roman chuckled:
"General, I have some news that may disappoint you."

Redinolz's expression tightened. Roman's brother-in-law was a top tycoon in the Kingdom of Ceylon and had deep ties with the royal family of the Kingdom of Ceylon. His information would indeed be better than that of the Yinshuang officials.

Roman whispered:

"General, as far as I know, not only will the Western Region Empire not mediate the relationship between us and Eifin, they will even submit a motion to the Northwest Alliance and the Charter Agreement to force Eifin to send troops legally!"

Roman's news was like a thunderclap in Redinoz's ears, making him pale with horror.

As a big shot in the Silver Frost military, he knew more about what happened in Florence not long ago than most officers, and he had a deep understanding of Eifin's true military strength.

He was 100% sure that if the two countries went to war, the Silver Frost Principality would not be able to hold out for even a day!
Despair was evident in Redinoz's eyes. The country was on the verge of destruction. What was the point in worrying about whether to launch a military remonstration or a coup?

No, Redinolz suddenly woke up and frowned.

If Roman's news is true, then his best choice at this moment is to lead his entire family back to the Kingdom of Ceylon to seek refuge with his brother-in-law. Why should he stay here and plan a coup?

Unless he is confident that he can avoid bloody revenge from Effiin after the coup!
The one who could give Roman this confidence must be the person behind the scenes who he said was countless times more powerful than the Kingdom of Ceylon!

Redinolz's eyes suddenly gleamed with brilliance, and he said in a deep voice:

"I want to meet and talk to the person behind you!"

Hearing that Redinolz had finally given in, Roman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He saluted solemnly and his tone became much gentler:

"General, I'm glad to continue fighting alongside you!
I believe that in our hands, Silver Frost will become great again!"
