The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
302. An unexpected position
I find it hard to remember what I read! Even the vows I remember were few, that I was sworn to be loyal to Indonesia and would never go against any orders given by the superior.
As well as one more, I was also given something as long as a stick that had a round end, what does it do, what is it to hit people? I don't know, but I feel like this cane was once held by great men...
I stood in front of Andhika, and she seemed to hold back her laughter...
"What are you laughing at? You're laughing at your boss." I tapped the slow stick I was holding on to the floor, "If I hadn't been impatient, I would have driven you out of this room."
"So, very arrogant..." Andhika cleared her throat, "Your branch has three if not mistaken..."
"There was me, Vina, and another one called Budi Antara. I don't know the reason why Rei and Dusk weren't chosen, but I can't fight back either because this is the result of Mr. Yudha's direct decision." he raised his shoulders.
Oh yes, three army generals, namely the army, sea, and air forces have been inaugurated along with the inauguration of the great general and all three are in the same room.
Vina was picking up a cake that looked delicious in my eyes, while Dusk was standing in the corner with Rei and his wife.
In addition to the generals, there were also the inauguration of several other officers, but not many that I know... Well, I counted new and I still haven't memorized the names of the officers in the military.
Most officers were scattered to many areas, which is why I rarely saw them. Moreover, I rarely went out of the house, so it became worse for me to know the names of the officers and their facial features.
From what I have noticed so far, the conditions are still safe and the closer the international military conference begins, the terror movement begins to disappear bit by bit.
How would I know? Of course through the Emperor I spread all over the world and they are directly connected to me.
"Don't take the cake? Yummy..." Rei appeared and thrust out a plate full of small pastries, "It feels good, but unfortunately it's small."
Yaaa, the name is also an official event, different from private events whose portions can be arranged by yourself. Official events mostly provide small dishes and are easily accepted by many people.
Why could that be? From my observation, small dishes were provided so that people could easily pick them up and easily eat them, so the room would not be full of chairs and tables for guests to eat.
In addition, small dishes are also easy to make in large quantities, so it is reasonable for guests who are many and difficult to predict.
"Then can it be used as an excuse to take two full plates? It's like you're being disrespectful in front of a crowd..." Andhika patted her forehead.
"The five-year-old effect doesn't eat anything sweet." Rei replied while putting in two cookies, "Especially this is free, who does not want free food?"
He put down his plate and put some wrapped cookies into his clothes bags, and I with Andhika could only sigh...

"So, how's it going?" I stared at the half-finished building in front of me.
Only a few pillars and some ready-made walls, and according to the contractor who takes care of it, remaining details and stages tidying up around that have not been done.
The conference will be held in two months, in August, and I will have to make sure all preparations are completed on time.
My first task as a major TNI general was to oversee the preparation of the conference, and so far, I've managed to do it.
Bali is strictly guarded...
Strong people are on this island of the Gods and they are mostly people I know...
There was Yuuki who helped, Al who provided some weaponry assistance, and Marie who was still diligently watching the waters.
"There's a few things missing, but I've dealt with it." the person I asked replied, "And you can take care of everything else, leave me the infrastructure issues."
Budi Antara, in addition to army generals, he is also a soldier who knows about buildings and everything that smells of building. So I assigned him to take care of it, and I heard he brought in a lot of contractors to help him.
Well, handing over the business to Budi is not a bad thing either...
It is time to visit Andhika...
DRRH!
I reached into my pants pocket and pulled out my new vibrating phone.
"Vina again.." I sighed and lifted her up, "Hello..."
"President Yudha wants to say something. Come as soon as possible." he said and the call was closed.
Vina never spoke at length again by phone, but she would talk a lot if she had spoken face to face. Yep, that's what's changed over the past five years...
"I came back first." I patted Budi on the shoulder, and he waved his hand then he left, and so did I.

"Emm, I just want to say one thing." Mr. Yudha cleared his throat before continuing, "Take the post of defense minister that I offer."
"Once no ya no." I closed my eyes while folding both my hands, "I'm not ready-..."
"But this is a task you must also take on."
"From my point of view, you're able to mobilize a lot of people to defend the country, even the amount of terror we've received has been drastically reduced since you returned to the military. That's why I appointed you secretary of defense."
The ministerial post is not a trivial one, will many jobs come to me and the results? I would lose my fighting ability little by little until I finally forgot how to fight.
In addition, the ministerial post also allows me to be escorted wherever I go. It also adds to the reason I don't want to accept it, because I'm the type of person who prefers to fight directly rather than be protected first.
"You can choose Rei or Vina, I recommend them because of their good performance so far which I think is also as good as my performance." I said, "And so, too, the defense minister's post doesn't flow from the military, does it?"
"Can I trust one of the two?" he asked, and I could feel it...
Mr. Yudha's trust in other officers was very low, and it seems that he only trusted me one...
How else, I think there's only one way...
"I will accept it." I replied, "On one condition, I do not want the great general's office to be removed from my hands."
"Why?"
"Because I need that position to take care of the military, there is a possibility of a military coup" I said, "For the time being I will assign one of my best officers to guard you against threats, I'll make sure he won't let you get a centimeter hurt..."
Enough bases, it's time to get into conflict again...
