Chapter 1392 Embarrassment
The car drove out from the Enclave embassy in Mexico, and Marshall sat in the car rather awkwardly. He was ordered to go to the State Guest House to talk to Governor Alfonso. This was an easy job that didn't require any agreement, just showed up and chatted, and had a preliminary understanding.
This job was not easy to get, and Marshall was recommended because of his good relationship with his colleagues. The most important thing is that only the Diego family has a relatively sufficient supply of supplies in Mexico City. Going to the State Guest House to have a big meal is a good job that many people dream of.
It is said that the staff of the Enclave in Mexico City would not be so miserable, but in fact this is the reason for the war. The Enclave itself has a huge population to feed. It can only export industrial products, and it needs to import a large amount of agricultural products.
Not to mention the Diego regime in Mexico, which exported a large amount of mineral products and imported industrial and agricultural products. Industrial products can still rely on the Enclave, but who can rely on agricultural products?
These days, the only ones that export agricultural products to the outside world are those with a relatively small population. Behind the scenes, there are legion commanders with their own bugs who bring a large amount of ultra-low-value food to raise pigs and chickens. Legion.
Now that the Yucatan Strait is blocked, the food of the Aurora Legion cannot be exported, and the citizens of their own have a good meal instead. The Enclave's territory is large and can support it. Only Mexico, which is full of rotten shit, is starving everywhere, and even the Enclave personnel staying in Mexico are unlucky.
The war in the Yucatan peninsula required a lot of supplies, including food. The war caused the price of food in Mexico City to rise all the way, and the dignitaries of the Diego family hoarded their fortunes to make money for the country, which made people like Marshall hungry with their families.
When the colleague who came to report said that he could have a meal in the State Guesthouse, he specifically mentioned the scene of himself eating barbecue, noodles, and cakes in the State Guesthouse. As a result, the vivid description made Marshall's family hungry.
The reason why Marshall was embarrassed was that not only did he go to eat by himself, but now he was traveling with his wife, children, and even a maid. Before leaving, the maid knelt down and begged that she only needed to eat a small bite, and said that she had been hungry for several days.
The whole family ran to grab a meal, which made Marshall, who had always been self-confident, blush. But the reality can't allow him to lose face, so the whole family can only get in the car and go together.
When he arrived at the State Guest House, Marshall approached the hotel staff and said that he had made an appointment to meet with Governor Alfonso who lived here. The service staff of the hotel glanced at the big family he brought with a professional smile, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth.
The other party's smile made Marshall's face burn. Not only did he bring a secretary with him, but he also had a whole family of men and women, big and small, big and small. This is clearly to eat the big family.
"Please wait for a while, I will report to you. You can take your entourage to sit in the side hall for a while, we have some pastries to serve." The person from the State Guesthouse said formulaically, when the word 'pastry' was uttered , Marshall clearly heard his child's stomach growl.
The Marshall family went to the side hall of the hotel, and the staff reported the news to Governor Alfonso all the way. His Excellency the Governor is playing hide-and-seek with two beautiful maids in the bedroom, and he was a little upset when the old housekeeper informed him.
After waving the maid to leave, Governor Alfonso took off the hide-and-seek blindfold on his head and asked, "The Enclave sent someone so soon? I thought they would have a response tomorrow."
"Yes." The old butler nodded, "The person here is Alfred Marshall, the Enclave's commercial counselor in Mexico."
Pfft... Governor 'Alfonso' was drinking water. Hearing the name, he immediately asked anxiously: "Who... Alfred Marshall? Is he a guy in his fifties or sixties? White hair, old handsome guy Kind of."
Zhou Qingfeng retrieved Marshall's ID photo from the armband computer. The old butler took a closer look and went to verify it himself. He came back after a while and replied, "Yes, this is the person."
Fuck, why did my military intelligence chief come here?
"This Mr. Marshall doesn't look like he's here to investigate or something,
He seems to be... He brought his family here for a meal. The old butler observed carefully, "The hotel provides some free food for foreign visitors. "
'Alfonso' scratched his head and said, "I can hide it from others, but I can't hide it from Marshall."
The reason why Alfred Marshall was appointed as the chief of military intelligence at the beginning was that there was no one else under the command of the regiment commander, and Marshall was calm and careful. This veteran artillery officer is rational, has rules, is extremely organized, and is good at finding problems by peeling cocoons.
Facts have proved that the head of the legion did not choose the wrong person, and the intelligence system built by Marshall guaranteed the normal development of the legion. After he left, the work efficiency of the Military Intelligence Bureau has been greatly reduced, and no one has been found to replace him yet.
"Marshall is very shrewd. He used to be my intelligence chief. He is too familiar with me. I don't see him. You can find any reason to dismiss him." 'Alfonso' waved to the old housekeeper, " Replace the Enclave with someone dumber."
The old housekeeper nodded, and the news spread all the way back to the side hall of the hotel. At this time, the Marshall family had just wiped out a few dishes of dessert at FTL, and the whole family had just eaten their appetizers and were waiting for more food. But what they waited for was the eviction order from the hotel.
"Governor Alfonso said he didn't want to meet with the Enclave staff who lacked diplomatic etiquette. He asked you and your entourage to leave immediately. Please change to a more formal diplomatic staff to talk to him tomorrow." The person from the hotel walked to the table , gave the Marshall family a blow.
Marshall's expression instantly became astonished, his face turned red at once, and then turned pale again. He was ashamed to death by the harsh words, his head drooped, and it took him a while to stand up weakly, his hands and feet were shaking.
"I'm sorry, I..., really did too much." Marshall was not too young, and was being ruthlessly ridiculed at the moment, and there was nowhere to put his old face. And his family members were too embarrassed to die, they could only stand up silently, depressed.
"Let's go." Marshall reached out to his wife and children. "I'm sorry, honey. I let you down."
Marshall's wife gently gave her husband a hug, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Don't worry, we will get through it. It's a bit embarrassing, but we know you tried your best."
The family walked out hand in hand, all with smiles on their faces, trying not to let tears fall, let alone let people see their inner sorrow.
And when the big family walked out of the gate of the State Guest House, someone suddenly approached from the side and said in a low voice, "Director Marshall, my master has changed his mind. He wants to see you."
It has been a long time since the position of director has been called. Marshall turned his head and stared at the person who came in for a while. His wife hurriedly stepped forward to hold hands, and asked vigilantly, "Honey, what happened?"
Marshall's body trembled a little, he broke free from his wife's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "I might be going to meet a big man, I can't miss this opportunity."
