People in Terra, governing a weird little country

His Edwiss family was also involved in the murder of Ernst and Enthiotis's parents. There is still no public opinion on this matter due to insufficient evidence. Therefore, when Enthiotis promoted Nosis to Kalan Trading as CTO, there was quite a stir within Kalan Trading.

But Ernst overlooked one point.

No matter how much people inside cursed, it was ultimately just an internal issue of Kalan Trade. And after Nohis had made achievements in his position, such quarrels had lessened a lot.

At this time, Ernst parachuted in Latatos and kicked Nosis out of the board of directors, which made Nosis the "disadvantaged party".

People always have a full consciousness of being generous to others, so public opinion will naturally stand on the side of Nosis, who lost the bet.

Latatos's work during this period must have been difficult.

After a moment's silence, Ernst asked solemnly:

"Did he arrange for someone to make things difficult for you? Do you need my help to solve it?"

One thing is one thing. Ernst can find a way to compensate Nosis for his contribution to the Kalan trade. If that doesn't work, he can ask Ensiodis to find a way to compensate him. But Latatos is his own person.

The decision to parachute has been made, and the people have already gone down. They represent Ernst's Kjerag government and Ernst's face.

Ernst had no reason to withdraw, and the employees naturally had no reason not to listen to Latatos.

A company, a state-owned enterprise at that, has started to form factions and exclude the disciplinary inspector appointed by the prime minister himself. Ernst dared not even think about what they will do next!

This kind of evil trend must be eliminated immediately! Anyone who participates in it will either have their salary deducted or be demoted. If Nosis himself is even fanning the flames and wants to use this method to undermine Latatos or even drive her away, then I'm sorry.

Ernst could only ask him to retire gracefully.

It seemed that she had not expected Ernst to be so concerned about her situation and to want to help her. Latatos was slightly stunned, her cheeks slightly red, and she turned her head to the side in embarrassment:

"No, as far as I know, Nosis Edwards himself was not involved in this matter. Because the factory workshop is small, but the orders have increased dramatically, he has been working on improving various production technologies during this period."

"As for the problem of difficulty in work, that was in the past. Now, I have dealt with it. Thank you for your concern, Ernst."

Latatos said seriously.

After all, she was the head of the Kjerag Brantau family. What she lacked was the vision of the overall situation and the knowledge to understand things, but she never had the means to do things.

Not to mention the small Kalan trade, even the Brown Tao family, with her spending almost half of her time in the territory and half of her time in the Kalan trade, isn't it firmly in her hands?

Of course, this is also due to the fact that there is really nothing to be expected from the other heir.

After looking at Latatos for a few seconds and confirming that she was not lying or trying to avoid the question, Ernst turned around and nodded slightly:

"Well, then. This time I came to see you, in addition to asking about the latest developments in Kalan Trade, I also have something very important to tell you."

Stopping in front of the door at the end of the corridor, Ernst made a "please" gesture to Latatos and then helped push the door open.

Two people were sitting opposite each other in the spacious room. Even if one was not very good at reading the atmosphere, one could tell that there was a bad relationship and even a tense situation between them from the way they were unwilling to even look at each other.

"Sorry for the wait, Actor."

Ernst greeted one of the people in the room.

Seeing Ernst return, Actoros almost immediately jumped up and complained to Ernst:

"Ernst, are you planning to let this guy be your security guard? Haha, I would say he is not as good as my subordinate Gu Luo in fighting! If you really want to form your security team, I will send Gu Luo to you! Just get rid of this guy!"

After being called "this guy" and "this guy" several times, even Jeston couldn't help it.

Fortunately, Ernst was there, so he didn't lose his temper on the spot. He just stood up with a lot of anger and cursed back:

"Sir Actor, please stop talking nonsense. Although I am not very talented, I also hold a Colombian free-fighting certificate, a Black Steel International Mercenary Qualification Review Certificate, and a Dark Web Professional Executioner Qualification Certificate! Does your subordinate Gu Luo have any quantitative standards that can prove his strength?"

Jeston's words were tricky, but if Actor was a normal person, he would know that there was no way to respond to them.

How could Gu Luo, who had never even left Kjerag, have obtained so many certificates?

But as everyone knows, the head of the Perlochi family, Actoros, has never been normal.

When he heard what Jeston said, he was not annoyed or at a loss, but said arrogantly:

"So what if he doesn't have any? Guro is recognized by me. I, Actor Perlochi, recognize him as a warrior. Isn't this more valuable than your certificates?"

This is really crazy.

In Jeston's eyes, this is like an old man on the street saying that he thinks Ma Baoguo is more valuable than Bruce Lee, just because he likes Ma Baoguo.

But this old man has a powerful background, so Jeston has no way to directly refute this nonsense.

Seeing that the two were about to engage in intimate physical contact again, Ernst quickly stopped them:

"That's enough, Jeston, please sit down first. And Chief Actor, I must have my reasons for choosing Jeston, it's not too late for you to listen to me. Why bother to quarrel with him first?"

He came back to his senses and noticed the smile on Latatos's lips. He sighed helplessly and rolled his eyes at her:

"Still laughing, go sit down."

After watching Latatos sit down on the third chair at the square table with a smile on her face and her tail wagging, Ernst coughed softly and officially started the conversation:

"I asked you all to come here today to discuss the defense of Kjerag."

Chapter 143 You are a minister, but you have a secretary

"Kjerag Defense Meeting?"

"Then can we go home now?"

Actor spread his hands.

The corner of Ernst's mouth twitched.

"What do you think, Patriarch Actor?"

Actor stood up, with a matter-of-fact look on his face:

"It's very simple. Kjerag's defense has always been handled by our Perlochi family, and we have done a good job so far. I don't think there is any need to hold a special meeting."

Ernst breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

You scared me. Why didn't you say that earlier? I thought you were going to expose the fact that Kjerag has no defense at all!

It’s a good thing that you are so confident. I’m just afraid that you are not confident enough!

After calming his heart that was about to jump out of his chest, Ernst looked at Actor with a smile and explained:

"Patriarch Actor, you are right. In fact, I completely agree with you. The existence of the Perlochi family has indeed made an indelible contribution to the national defense of Shelag. But..."

There is always a but in everything. Ernst paused deliberately, whetting Actor's appetite, and then slowly said:

"As everyone knows, Kjerag is now managed by me, the Prime Minister, on behalf of the great god Yelagund. This is also a joint decision of the three major families. As the government that manages Kjerag, it is somewhat unreasonable that there is no department within it that manages Kjerag's defense affairs. If outsiders see this, I will be ridiculed."

"Can you bear to see that I, the Prime Minister and the Holy Son, cannot even obtain a complete title?"

Now it was Actor's turn to be embarrassed.

Ernst's words did sound reasonable. Since the Three Clan Conference had already acknowledged that the Kjerag government was the government that managed all of Kjerag's affairs, didn't Kjerag's affairs include its national defense?

If it was included, then it would be reasonable for Kjerag to convene this national defense meeting. If it was not included, then the decision of the three-family meeting was a joke, and he, the patriarch of the Perrochi family, would take the lead in opposing the three-family meeting?

But having said that, Kjerag's defense was the foundation of the Perlochi family's superior status. As a vested interest, Actor could use this power to organize and train a larger army than the other two families, and could send troops to other territories without their consent when unrest occurred in the territories of the two families, and could even launch armed attacks. These were all privileges he had.

How could he give up this power so easily?

Therefore, Actor, who has always been known for his specious arguments, chose to remain silent at this moment.

He neither agreed nor disagreed.

Ernst had anticipated his reaction. He also knew that without resorting to force, the maximum resistance that Actor could offer was limited to this.

Latatos, who was watching the confrontation from the side, also looked at Ernst with interest.

Using the resolution of the Three Clans Conference as an argument to win national defense rights for the Kjerag government, this method of using the opponent's strength to defeat him and leaving Actor speechless can indeed be called a brilliant move.

But not enough.

Because Latatos knew, like Actor, that without resorting to force, the maximum attack Ernst could make was limited to this.

As long as Actor keeps holding on and neither agrees nor disagrees, no one can do anything to him.

After all, he was the head of the Perlochi family, one of the most powerful people in Kjerag, controlling the most fertile valleys and lakes in Kjerag, supporting the grain production of the entire Kjerag, and had a sizeable army.

Even Enchiodis, at the height of his power, did not dare to confront him head-on.

Otherwise, he would not have been forced by himself and Actor to give up the benefits at his fingertips and agree to establish the Kjerag government at the three-tribe meeting.

And if Ernst wants to use coercion or even force, then there is no doubt that Latatos will not be optimistic about him... Well, considering personal emotional factors, at least 80% of her will not be optimistic, right?

Actor Perlochi is not Noxis Edelweiss. His subjects who have been fulfilling their duties of "guarding Kjerag" for many years are not as easy to deal with as the employees of Kalan Trade. Asking them to accept an airborne "Ministry of Defense leader" is almost a pipe dream!

At that time, Ernst would not only offend Actor, but his Ministry of Defense would also be boycotted. If the situation could not be controlled, it might even cause riots in the Perrochi territory, or even more serious civil unrest.

There was a gleam of anticipation in Latatos's eyes.

At some point, appreciating and learning from Ernst had become a major hobby in her life.

Those problems that seemed to her to be almost unsolvable and that had no other solution except to fight him were all solved naturally in Ernst's hands. This made her even more excited.

What method will Ernst use this time?

"Chief Actor, there is no need to be so resistant. Just like I said when I entered the room just now, you can listen to my proposal first."

Noticing Actor's stern expression, Ernst pursed his lips helplessly.

"I never meant to target the Perlochi family. I have deep respect for the three major families and their contributions to Kjerag's history. That is why I am eager to work with the three major families to complete Kjerag's transition to modernization."

"This is not some empty talk. You can take a look at Miss Latatos. Does her current dress make you feel a little unfamiliar? I'm sure you have guessed that she is now serving as the representative of the Kjerag government and my representative. She holds a decision-making position in Kalan Trade and has a seat on the board of directors. Even my brother Enthiotis must ask for her opinion before making a decision."

Ernst looked at Latatos, who nodded.

This was a fact, and even if she denied it, Actor could still find out. Moreover, there was no need for her to deny it.

She was very grateful to Ernst for giving her this opportunity. Although the job was very difficult at one time, as Ernst had said to her, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform the Brontao family.

Latatos already had many ideas in her mind. As long as the time was right, she could establish Shelag's second "Kalan Trade", no, the first "Brantao Trade"!

Ernst turned around and looked at Actor, whose expression had somewhat eased, and continued:

"So please believe me, I have no intention of shaking the Perrochi family's important position in national defense affairs. Not only that, I held this meeting just to give you a surprise!"

Ernst clapped his hands, and the door was opened again. Holhaiya, who had been waiting at the door for some time, walked into the meeting room with an appointment letter that looked like a certificate in his hand.

She bowed slightly to the people in the room, and then, according to Ernst's arrangement, handed the appointment letter to the dazed Actos.

Actor took the appointment letter and cast his eyes on the beautiful handwriting in black on a gold background (written by Vina), and Ernst's voice rang out:

"As the Prime Minister of Kjerag, I have decided to formally appoint you, Mr. Actoros Perlochi, as the Minister of Defense of Kjerag!"

"Minister of Defense!" Actos, holding the appointment letter, stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

It is incredible that Ernst actually appointed himself to this position that sounds very impressive and modern. It is incredible that Ernst actually did what he said, and did not shake his position or take back his rights. It is incredible that Ernst's handwriting is so beautiful, and this appointment letter is so beautiful!

I could take it home and frame it, hang it on the wall, and introduce it to everyone I meet. This is the appointment letter of the Minister of Defense. Kjerag has so many ministers, do other ministers have such appointment letters? Only I have such a handsome golden appointment letter!

"From now on, Patriarch Aktos, no, Lord Aktos, you are the official Minister of Defense of the Ministry of Defense under the Kjerag government! The defense construction of Kjerag will be handed over to you and your secretary Mr. Jeston."

Ernst clapped his hands and congratulated.

Before he finished speaking, Actor's questioning voice sounded again:

"Wait wait wait, why is there this guy?"

He pointed at Jeston.

"What is a secretary?"

"Secretaries are nothing." Holhaiya retorted with a smile.

Ernst suddenly understood and explained: "Oh, Sir Actor, a secretary is someone who helps you do things."

"Can I do without a secretary?" Actor frowned.

Ernst nodded bluntly: "Of course, Lord Actor, but I must remind you in advance that the reason I set up the secretary position is for your consideration. Secretary is very important. Government affairs are different from family affairs. Many of them involve areas that you may not be familiar with or understand. For example, the writing of national defense documents, the construction of national defense plans, exchanges with the outside world in the military field, and the writing of the annual national defense white paper, etc."

Ernst pointed at Latatos again:

"Ms. Latatos often told me that when she first joined Kalan Trade, she was unfamiliar with the various industries, indicators, and rules, which made her work particularly difficult in the early stages. And having to report to Kalan Trade on time every day also made her feel physically and mentally exhausted."

"The secretary position is established to help you solve these problems. If you insist on canceling it, you may have to deal with these troubles yourself."

Actor stood there in a daze.

He thought the Minister of Defense was no different from before. Now that he heard it, it seemed a bit difficult.

And let alone the work content, just having to come to Tukarim every day is enough for him to bear. He is the chief of Perlochi, how can he go to Shivaash's territory every day? Not to mention that he has to clock in early in the morning. Does he care about his family affairs?
