Chapter 1062


    James went to the Red me Army base.He got off a vehicle at the Red me Army military region’s


    gate.


    Before he got close to themand center, his path was suddenly blocked.Some fully-armed soldiers


    pointed the muzzles of their assault rifles at James who was slowly walking toward them.


    "What''re you doing?" James'' face darkened.


    "Do you know who you''re pointing your guns at?"


    "Yes, Sir."


    A one-star general walked over, stood before James, and saluted him.


    "You’re themander of the ck Dragon Army, the Dragon King of the Southern ins.However,


    this is the Red me Army''s Capital base.You’ve no right to enter, or else you''ll be overstepping your


    authority.We have the right to stop outsiders from trespassing into our base."


    James nced at the general and asked, "What’s your name?"


    "Sir, I’m the deputymander of the Red me Army, Nathaniel Carlson," Nathaniel replied


    courteously.


    He did not tell his subordinates to lower their guns despite his respectful conduct.


    "Sir, this is the Red me Army’s base.Even if you’re the Dragon King, you''ve only been given


    authority tomand the ck Dragon Army and have no right to involve yourself in the Red me


    Army’s affairs.With that, I would like to request that you please leave our premises immediately."


    "General Carlson, are you not aware that I’ve been appointed as themander of the Red me


    Army by the parliament?"


    "Yes, I’ve received word of it, but there isn’t an official appointment document yet.If you’d like to enter


    our military region, you would need to produce official proof of your appointment.I’m afraid I can’t let


    you pass if you don''t have it."


    James had merelye to inform the Red me Army that he would be having his session


    ceremony in their base.He knew that military regions were not supposed to interfere with each other or


    casually allow visitors, especially if they were members of another military force.

    Since the Red me Army’s deputymander refused to let him pass, he had no choice in the


    matter.


    James pointed his finger sternly at Nathaniel and said, "Alright, General Carlson.Just you wait."


    Then, he spun on his heel and left the military region.


    After James had left, the Red me Army soldiers lowered their weapons.


    A soldier cautiously voiced out his concern, "General Carlson, have we offended the newmander?


    Will he punish us after he takes office?"


    "What''re you afraid of? It’s the duty of a soldier to uphold military discipline.Head back to patrol."


    After reassuring the soldier, Nathaniel turned around and walked away briskly.


    Meanwhile, James headed straight for Peace Mansion.He sat on the living room sofa andined,


    "We really ought to do away with some of our sh*tty rules."


    The King was reading a newspaper when he heard James grumbling.He put down the newspaper and


    asked, "What''s the matter? Did someone cross you?"


    "I went to the Red my Army’s military base to get a better idea of the location since I haven''t been


    there in years, but the soldiers refused to allow me passage! They’ ve all got some nerve standing in


    the Dragon King’s way."


    James irritatedly picked up a cigarette on the table and took a long drag.


    The Kingughed and said, "That’s normal, James.It’s a rule that’s been established since the country''s


    founding that intended for military regions to stand independently.It’s so that themanders act as a


    check and bnce for each other and it also was intended as a measure against oligarchy."


    Running a hand through his hair in agitation, James turned to the king and asked, "When will the


    appointment documents be issued?"


    "Why? Are you in a hurry?"


    The King lifted an eyebrow at James.


    James chuckled and said, "It’s not that I’m in a hurry.It’s just that the news has already started


    spreading internally.Since the vote has been passed, I assumed the appointment document would be


    issued quickly so I can hold a session ceremony.I''d like to invite all the prominent figures in the


    Capital to witness my session as the new Emperor.It''d be also great if Mr.Gabriel shows up."


    The King was taken aback.


    A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he replied with a smile, "Alright.We''ll have a meeting


    tomorrow morning to draw up your letter of appointment.After all three parties have stamped it, the


    document will then be delivered to you."


    James knew that appointing a newmander was a troublesome process.


    First, they had to have meetings to discuss and vote for each party’s proposed candidates.


    After the candidates have enough votes, three parties need to stamp the official documents—the King,


    the government, and the army.


    Only after the approval of these three parties could he officially take office as the Red me Army


    commander.


    "Alright.Then, I’1l be waiting for your favorable response."


    James got up and left, not forgetting to filch the premium cigarettes on the King’s table.
