Chapter 804: A Sharp Turn for the Worse

The party was very merry.

Gao Guang didn't dare to be unscrupulous, but now, after all, he didn't have to be as cautious as before.

I don't dare to get carried away, but after Lloyd went up, if the glory of being Lloyd's staunch ally and loyal comrade-in-arms is as low-key as before, then it is not low-key but hypocritical.

So the party called to celebrate the recovery of the leg injury is actually a celebration of Lloyd's ascent. This is a double happiness, and everyone related to the highlight can take this opportunity to celebrate.

The muscles in his left leg were a little weak, and Gao Guang was used to protecting his left leg, so Gao Guang didn't move much today. However, when he accepted the congratulations of many relatives and friends today, he made an exception and drank a lot of wine.

When you are happy in life, you must have all the fun, and even Mike, who has always been a teetotaler, made an exception and had a few drinks. Gao Guang feels that he can definitely have three blessings today.

Laura is exceptionally good-looking today. Although she is not very good at dressing up or putting on makeup, today is a special day. Sara did not leave. She personally helped Laura choose a dress and put on makeup for Laura herself.

When I watched Laura before, I always felt that there was some psychological burden in my heart, because Gao Guang always felt that Otto had forced Laura on him, so the relationship was established, but Gao Guang and Laura were limited to holding hands and kissing at most.

It’s a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and it’s time to inscribe names on the gold medal list.

Lloyd's rise to the top is equivalent to being named on the gold list. Wouldn't it be nice to have a bridal night by the way? Today, Gao Guang decided that after everyone else had left, it was time to make a breakthrough.

The anticipated moment finally arrived. Gao Guang raised his voice and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet. Be quiet. The time is up. Let's watch the news."

It's evening, it's time, it's time to appoint some generals.

Promotion at the level of general is very troublesome, but the special thing about Lloyd is that he will get the position first. After getting the position of commander of European Command, he will be recommended by the ministers of the navy, army and air force, or joint operations. It is recommended by the headquarters and then approved by the Senate, which includes the position and military rank.

Another route is to get a special appointment from the president, and Lloyd has met all the hard targets, so as long as the president gives him a special appointment tonight, temporarily acting as commander of Europe, and then he gets a promotion in rank, then everything will be fine.

Although the appointment ceremony will not be broadcast live, the news will be released as soon as possible. At that time, several news channels will release the news in the form of at least one text scroll.

According to time, the appointment ceremony is about to begin.

There were a lot of people, but everyone was quiet and watching any news station, but no one was interested in the news screen being broadcast. Everyone was looking at the string of text messages at the bottom of the screen.

Hold your breath and wait for the good news to arrive.

When Mike arrived at Gao Guang's side, he was holding a wine glass and couldn't help but put his arm on Gao Guang's shoulders and whispered: "Boss! Really, I'm so happy today. Congratulations, you finally...

finally""

Finally, Mike couldn't say anything, and Gao Guang said softly: "Wait, don't say it yet, the news is coming out soon."

Such a major matter of promotion cannot be concealed in advance. Lloyd will definitely get the news in advance, and since he said it has been done, it is a certainty.

But without an official announcement, it doesn’t matter after all. After all, there is still a little bit of worry. Finally, the text message came out.

Laura couldn't help but said: "There is news." A line of words began to appear on the screen.

"The latest news is that Mr. President has made new appointments to a group of generals, appointing Air Force General Ted Walls as commander of the European Command, appointing Lieutenant General Lloyd as special military adviser to the president, and appointing..."

When the name Falk Walls came out, Highlight felt something bad, and after a line of words was displayed completely, his head suddenly felt dizzy.

It wasn't Lloyd, it was Fokker Walls, who came from the Air Force and took over as commander in Europe.

Lloyd's position is also good, special military adviser, but compared to the commander in Europe, this position seems too useless now.

His head was a little dizzy and his ears were ringing. Gao Guang shook his head and looked at the people around him. Could it be that your eyes were blurred after drinking too much?

Mike's expression had solidified, and his arm was still on Gao Guang's shoulders, but it suddenly became much heavier.

Jane raised her head and moved her neck slightly, but Sara, after a brief shock, looked at Gao Guang with a frown.

John was not in a wheelchair today, he was using a prosthetic leg. After seeing the words on the news, his face was filled with astonishment.

Riccardo looked at Gao Guang with a worried look. He was shocked and took a step towards Gao Guang, but he didn't make a sound. Deathly silence.

Gao Guang swallowed hard, then he raised his glass with a smile and said, "Well, let's continue drinking."

Laura picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. Then Mike quietly picked up the arm that was on Gao Guang's shoulder. He held the wine glass and forced out a smile with great difficulty on his dark face. He wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't. It is to drink all the wine in the cup.

It shouldn't be like this. How could something that was already a certainty change suddenly? Gao Guang was in a mess, but he didn't want to show it.

It’s actually meaningless to pretend to be calm. Lloyd’s appointment has changed, and he lost the commander he got, which means something went wrong. I don’t know where the problem is, but it’s obvious that the problem is serious.

One situation is that Lloyd can’t keep his cool and starts to show off when he gets the wind. That’s his own problem, but

this is okay, at most Lloyd didn’t understand the situation.

Another situation is that Lloyd was successfully blocked by his competitors.

Lloyd is definitely not the kind of person who can’t keep his cool, so it can only be the second situation, Lloyd was played hard by others. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. After Lloyd’s duck flew away, Gao Guang’s life will be difficult.

If the commander in Europe is snatched away by competitors, how can Gao Guang do business in the future? It’s not even a question of whether the business can continue, but whether Gao Guang can survive.

When one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer.

But Gao Guang didn’t want to show his disappointment and panic. If the boss panics first, what can the people below do, so Gao Guang must appear very calm.

When Gao Guang turned around, his face was full of smiles. He raised his glass and said, "Cheers to General Lloyd for his new appointment."

"Cheers!"

"Cheers."

The atmosphere did not cool down immediately. It was even more enthusiastic and cheerful than before. Everyone was talking happily, but if you listen carefully, you will find that the conversation has become meaningless nonsense.

Some people know what is going on, but some people are slow to react, or they don't know the difference between Lloyd being in office or not, such as Francisco. He really thinks that Lloyd being a special military adviser is also good news worth celebrating.

But there are still many people who understand that Gao Guang should have something important to say, so although the atmosphere seems very warm, it still cools down too quickly.

The party lasted only ten minutes. When Sarah left first, the crowd quickly dispersed. In the end, only Gao Guang and Laura, Jane and Ricardo were left.

Ricardo said to Gao Guang, "Is there anything I need to clean up?"

Ricardo was very careful, but Gao Guang smiled and said, "It's okay, you go back, um, no, you stay and wait for news."

Jane is a member of the shooting club, she must know what happened.

Lola, she really doesn't understand this kind of thing, but at least she knows that something big has happened, and she can guess that the situation is not very good. The four people sat there until Jane suddenly said, "This situation is obviously wrong, I judge."

Jane was rarely a little irritable, she took out a cigarette box, put a cigarette in her mouth, and then she said solemnly, "It depends on where the problem is, but we are in trouble."

If it was just a failure in the competition, there would be nothing to say, but if something that was almost set in stone suddenly had a big reversal, then the smell of conspiracy was too strong.

Now we can only wait for Lloyd's news, but he is now in the White House, and it is impossible for him to tell Gao Guang what happened too quickly. Finally, half an hour after seeing the news on the news, Gao Guang's phone rang

Gao Guang answered the phone immediately, and then he heard Lloyd whisper in a calm but slow tone: "Have you seen the news?"

"Yes, what happened?"

Lloyd sighed softly, and then he continued to whisper: "This morning, the president personally called me and told me that he would appoint me as the commander in Europe, but in the evening, he directly announced the appointment of Fock as the commander in Europe. I don't know what happened, but Fock is the one over there."

The worst happened.

The winner is not the competitor, but the enemy!

The executive was silent for a moment, then he whispered: "How to deal with it?"

"Don't worry, special military advisers are also very important. There is no specific position, but they can intervene in everything. I lost, but not completely. The situation is not too bad now."

Lloyd comforted Gao Guang a little, then he whispered: "I suspect that the president's attitude has changed, but I don't know what has been done over there, so I have to find out why the president's attitude suddenly changed."

Gao Guang whispered: "If Fok is from that side, then we have to make concessions, be mentally prepared, take the initiative to shrink, and give up what we can't keep directly to avoid immediate conflict. The first goal now should be to preserve strength, General, what do you think?"

Lloyd's tone sounded calm, but Gao Guang knew that he was extremely angry.

So although Gao Guang was extremely disappointed, he did not forget to remind Lloyd, because he was afraid that Lloyd would do something irrational in extreme anger.

Those who achieve great things must at least recognize the situation and at least have a basis for advance and retreat.

Lloyd was silent for a moment, then he whispered: "I am relieved that you have this idea. Let's have a meeting tonight to discuss it. Wait for my news."

"Okay, we'll wait for your news."

This is a crisis that the shooting club needs to face collectively. The incident has happened. Let's see how to deal with it next. Gao Guang hung up the phone and looked at Jane.

Jane exhaled lightly, she forced a smile and said: "I was worried that you would be furious, but your reaction was better than I thought. You are very calm, so I have nothing to advise you. Wait for the news."

Jane's cigarette hadn't been lit yet, Gao Guang reached out and took out the cigarette box from Jane's hand. He flipped it open and took out a cigarette, and Ricardo immediately took out a lighter from his pocket and lit up Jane's cigarette first, then lit up Gao Guang's cigarette.

Ricardo also lost his composure. If Gao Guang hadn't taken the cigarette, he wouldn't have remembered to light it.

Gao Guang took a puff, and then he whispered to Jane: "I think this matter is a bit too outrageous. Although I don't know how they did it, they broke the rules. Well, a blessing in disguise. Before the final result comes out, who knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing?"
