Georges Ossman entered the room and straightforwardly asked.
Barroso placed the proposal on the table, nodded, and said to Georges Ossman, "Yes! Just recently, Colonel Bulbaski, the Emperor's adjutant, came by to deliver a notification from His Majesty."
Georges Ossman glanced at the proposal on the table, and bluntly remarked, "Minister, I suppose you are prepared to break with Minister Achille Fuld!"
"Break? Why would I break? Deputy Minister Georges Ossman, this isn't your concern!"
Despite Barroso's internal indecision, his expression still projected the assertiveness expected of a minister.
However, Barroso's assertiveness had no effect on someone like Georges Ossman, who held in his heart that only His Majesty the Emperor deserved true respect.
The rest, be it the Legislative Corps or ministers, were insufficient to elicit awe from Georges Ossman.
