"Since the doctor has chosen to trust you, I will also provide you with all the assistance I can."

Gertrude spoke calmly, as if she were discussing an ordinary business matter, but Golding's eyes could not remain calm.

"I won't disappoint you and the Doctor's trust."

"Um,"

Gertrude responded calmly, "I will immediately prepare the relevant documents and transfer orders. In addition to the matters mentioned above, I may ask the doctor to consider allocating one or two recruitment quotas for the Armored Knight Corps to the school.

If the doctor allows it, the current appeal of Steam Knight will surely have a good attraction effect.

Driving an armored knight has always required a high level of technical knowledge and literacy. If relevant courses can be specially offered in the form of military schools, it will also have a positive impact on the replenishment of our military personnel.

However, this matter has a huge impact, and only the doctor can decide."

However, Golding could no longer hear clearly what was said.

Train and select steam knights, or armored knights, pilots from their schools?

Just by saying this, she could imagine the scene of countless people scrambling to get into the school.

"Is this really possible?"

When he opened his mouth to speak, Golding realized that his voice was trembling.

"Military academies are essential facilities for every country. Although our current scale is not enough to be called a country, if we want to provide our troops with stable and high-quality personnel, the existence of academies is necessary."

"But... Victoria's Steam Knights have always been warriors with outstanding merits, and only they have the opportunity to be awarded..."

"So we're not Victoria."

Gertrude interrupted Golding, "Our armored knights do not need noble titles, nor do they need political approval from three generations of ancestors. Any warrior who is capable and willing to fight for our common goal can become our armored knight.

and,"

Gertrude glanced at Golding before her. "You have to understand, Victoria's Steam Knights are few and far between. Firstly, this is due to the high requirements of the steam armor for its users, and secondly, it's also due to the restrictions imposed by the Grand Duke and the nobles. These... don't exist for us."

"what do you mean……"

Golding's eyes widened slightly.

"Be careful what you say."

Gertrude did not continue the topic, and Golding wisely kept his mouth shut, but her expression was still dazed.

This is indeed a very sensitive topic, involving the configuration and development direction of the Rhodes Island Armored Knights, both of which are highly confidential information.

But what Gertrude probably knew was that Luo Hang had already clearly revealed to her the future direction of the grading of specifications of power armor and its popularization.

Currently, Rhodes Island is limited by production lines and resources, and the production of power armor can only be elite, producing only high-specification models. But in reality—

Power armor is actually the standard equipment of soldiers.

As long as some configurations are lowered, it would not be difficult to mass-produce these industrialized technological products. On the contrary, it may be that the quality of the soldiers cannot keep up.

Ordinary soldiers use standard armor, while the armor of elite troops and elite fighters is upgraded and specially configured. This is the real direction of the future.

Also because of this,

Learning to drive armored vehicles in a military academy shouldn't be strange at all, right?

Maybe we can even organize some armored driving competitions in the future!

Golding, who had not yet received enough information, was unaware of these distant assumptions, but looking at Gertrude sitting calmly behind her desk, she realized that there was indeed some gap between herself and the mayor.

Or it’s a big gap.

After all, she was originally just an ordinary teacher. Even though she had talents in some aspects that Luo Hang valued, she was obviously lacking experience in many things.

But Gertrude in front of him was obviously an experienced and excellent leader.

"Is there anything else Minister Golding would like to discuss?"

Golding understood what the mayor meant.

If everything is alright, she can leave.

A long-lost sense of unwillingness to admit defeat arose in his heart. As a follower of that man, Golding had never thought that one day he would have the idea of ​​competing with a man.

"Actually, there is one more thing."

"Oh?"

Gertrude looked at Golding with some surprise, as his temperament seemed to have changed slightly when he talked about another thing.

The other person smiled, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"In addition to the educational work the doctor has assigned me, I also plan to establish an organization privately... related to the doctor."

Gertrude frowned.

"Appreciate further details."

Hearing this answer, the corners of Golding's lips curled up slightly.

Next,

It is time to preach the doctrine.

"Our mission is to eliminate the Doctor's sins ourselves and shape him into a great figure untainted by his shadow. To achieve this long-term goal, we call on all aspiring women to join us."

Just the first sentence was enough to make Mayor Gertrude, who had always been calm, have her CPU crash.

What and what? ?

Chapter 279 Let us wash away the doctor’s sins!

"...I don't quite understand what you mean, Minister Golding."

After a brief moment of confusion, Gertrude still couldn't 'completely' understand what she had just heard, or rather, she didn't know whether she understood it or not.

Therefore, the best option is to ask the person in front of you.

Golding, who was sitting in his seat, also smiled with the tolerance and patience of a missionary:

“We believe that the Doctor is a man who has the potential to save countless lives and accomplish great things.

But everyone has sins and shadows that contradict the positive side.

While the Doctor possesses a positive side that far exceeds that of ordinary people, he also possesses a vast shadow that is difficult for ordinary people to compare with.

therefore--

In order to bring this world a great man who is unaffected by darkness and who always retains the greatest positive qualities, we want to use our own power to eliminate the vast and dark shadow side of the doctor's personality."

Gertrude looked at Golding, who looked pious and serious, and was speechless for a moment.

She felt like she should understand, but she didn't quite understand.

She seemed to understand what Golding meant, but what she couldn't understand was why someone could say such a thing seriously?

"If it were you, you would probably understand... the doctor's desires and dark side, which are different from those of ordinary people, especially when it comes to the opposite sex."

Gertrude's expression shifted slightly.

Although she thought rationally that she shouldn't waver, she still unconsciously agreed with what he said.

Her master is good in every way, and because he is so outstanding, more and more cats and dogs are attracted to him.

Throughout history, there are countless emperors and heroes who have many wives and concubines. In addition to the differences in ideas and systems, it is actually a reflection of status and ability.

The stronger the animals in the wild, the more mates they can occupy, and the earlier the human race is, the more they resemble the primitive wilderness.

However, for her, it is true that her master's excellence is worth being proud of, but if the number of people in her master's family continues to increase, she still has to consider whether she will be forgotten.

As the mayor of Rhode Island, she shouldn't have to worry about such problems. However, as a pet, she still wants to attract more attention and love from her owner.

Gertrude changed her posture while sitting on the chair and continued to look at Golding:

"What is Minister Golding going to do?"

This time, Golding raised the corners of his lips without much concealment.

"Our current initial plan and goal is to gather enough members so that we can send members to 'confess' and seek 'repentance' from the Doctor every day or whenever necessary.

We accept the sin and the vast darkness behind the great facade of the Doctor. This sin is the best punishment for our "confession" and is also the Doctor's "confession" to us.

We are doing a great thing, and we are also repenting and seeking our own faith, just like other religions in the secular world."

Gertrude couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

While she did have some interest in Golding's claims, she wasn't sure until now…

This person is serious.

The elegant woman in front of her, who was full of literary atmosphere, really wanted to establish a religion based on the doctorate as a belief. Believers confessed their sins in front of the faith and accepted punishment, and then comforted themselves that they were doing great things.

Regardless of the possible content of the punishment process, it is indeed a process that conforms to religious behavior, and it is entirely possible that those who participate in it will truly develop faith.

Gertrude also took a serious attitude a little.

"So, how many people are there now, Minister Golding?"

"Well, including me, until recently, there were three."

A light smile appeared on Golding's face.

A certain Miss Bagpipe, as soon as she heard that she would get along better with the Doctor, she enthusiastically agreed to join. However, it seemed that it was not the right time to invite Horn, the captain of the Storm Team.

However, Gertrude was speechless.

"It seems that Minister Golding's organization is just as nascent as our education."

Gertrude's words were very tactful, but Golding understood immediately, but her face still had that gentle smile.

"Ascalon has agreed to screen the reliability of our new members. If the mayor joins us, our organization will surely see rapid development.

In fact, I just recruited a new member today, which I think is a very good sign.”

"Ascalon?"

Gertrude found herself losing her usual composure over and over again on the matter Golding had mentioned.

She actually didn't have much contact with Ascalon, but in order to ensure smooth flow of authority, she had a record of Ascalon.

According to the description in the information, isn't he a ruthless assassin who specializes in dealing with traitors in Rhodes Island?

Why are you taking the lead in joining this kind of organization now?

Or does the Executioner intend to supervise all organizations in Rhodes Island?

While Gertrude was still lost in thought, Golding's voice continued.

“I am very clear that I still have many shortcomings in my management ability of the organization, so I urgently hope that the mayor can join us and manage the operation of the entire organization.

If necessary, I will do my best to help, but my main focus should be on spreading our teachings to those who may join us."

Gertrude met Golding's eyes.

The other party still responded to her with a smile.

"I have indeed witnessed the excellent level of eloquence of our education minister."

Perhaps Golding is indeed a novice as a manager, but in terms of language, Golding's words hit the weaknesses in people's hearts and are frightening.

Golding's statement undoubtedly put the power of the entire organization into her hands.

As Minister of Education, and with Golding's language proficiency, she believed the new minister had a high potential to grow her unique church.

Moreover, since it was the doctor who personally arranged for this young lady minister to take office, it means that the doctor is likely to know about this matter as well.

This means that—

This organization, this strange religion, is likely to have a very special status in the future Rhodes Island, or at least in the eyes of the Doctor.

As a pet who desires more attention from her owner, the management rights of this organization are obviously of self-evident significance to her.

Golding kept smiling and fell silent, and Gertrude did not think about it for long.

"You've convinced me, Minister Golding."

Gertrude had never thought that she would join a religion one day, but she didn't care if the person she believed in was her master. "As a small contribution to the new members, I can give you a message -

The doctor's schedule is very irregular. If I want to find the doctor at any time to "confess", it is far from enough for me to do it alone.
