There is a mountain forest more than 30 kilometers west of Nicolo City, which was originally the hunting ground of the Nicolo family.
It is now more or less unmanaged, and First Control is trying to transform it into a weapons testing ground.
Because General Dönitz had little interest in hunting, after the First Control took over the place, the hunting ground gradually lost control and became a paradise for many animals.
Today, many people came. Soldiers stood three steps, one post, and five steps outside the forest.
Unexpectedly, General Chandler liked hunting, so after dinner, the deputy commander of the 1st Controlled Military Police Division, the chief military prosecutor of the Western Region Army, Reagan, and several important officials accompanied General Chandler to this hunting ground.
Ming and Barber were among them.
Although the banquet to welcome Admiral Chandler was very simple and did not require many people to accompany Admiral Chandler, General Dönitz would naturally not be absent and originally wanted to accompany Admiral Chandler.
Chandler declined the hunt time and time again. In his heart, Dönitz definitely didn’t want to come, so he just went with the flow.
Accompanying General Chandler were Reagan, Barber, Lu Ming and others.
Brigadier General Reagan was the highest-ranking official accompanying Admiral Chandler on the hunt. As for Barbour and Lu Ming, Chandler implicitly meant his disciples and old friends.
Lu Ming didn't like hunting. Whether it was carnivores or herbivores, they had to live very hard in order to survive.
It doesn't matter if you hunt them just to fill your stomach, but you can treat them as a game to find the excitement of killing. Lu Ming is mentally opposed to this kind of behavior.
It was Shiva Slave who took the initiative to volunteer, put on the traditional hunting attire of the Western Regions, red skirt trousers and deer boots, rode a horse and hunted with a crossbow and arrows, and made a big splash for a while.
Lu Ming didn't expect that she still had this ability.
However, in fact, she couldn't load the crossbow and needed the help of the guards. However, her equestrian skills were quite good, but her shooting was not very accurate, which was better than the other kind of beautiful scenery.
At dusk, Admiral Chandler, who was in high spirits, lit several bonfires to grill today's prey, saying that it would taste more delicious this way.
Near the hunting ground is the manor of the Nicolo family, which is now the 27th Public Security Police Station. Admiral Chandler rests here at night.
Shivanu's face was red and she was a little excited, but she hugged her knees and sat next to Lu Ming without saying a word. She knew very clearly when to speak and when to keep quiet.
Chandler's accompanying military secretary sat next to Lu Ming. His name was John. He was a young officer. He was close to the commander. He had the rank of lieutenant colonel.
While chatting casually with Lu Ming, John suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that there are military companions in the Western Regions?"
Lu Ming smiled: "The old almanac is gone now."
John smiled and said: "Where's Miss Shivanu, do you have a similar relationship to you?"
Lu Ming nodded: "More or less, it's a matter left over from history."
John smiled: "The director is really lucky to have such an excellent confidante. The director has a very good impression of Miss Shivanu and always praises her."
Lu Ming glanced at John and nodded slightly.
John stood up with a smile, patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, and walked in the direction of Admiral Chandler.
As far as Lu Ming could see, he saw Chandler smiling at him.
Lu Ming turned around and took a bite of the barbecue in silence. Naturally, he understood that John came to ask for his "partner" on Chandler's behalf. Maybe he wanted to stay with him for a night, or maybe he needed to give it to him permanently. Unexpectedly, this sanctimonious chief military officer of the kingdom came to ask for his "partner".
The prosecutor is very womanizing.
Shivanu, I have never regarded her as my own woman. If it were not difficult to deal with outside speculation, I would have sent her away long ago.
However, he could not give her away like a commodity.
…
The next day, everyone had breakfast together in the manor restaurant. It seemed that Chandler looked as usual, but John stared at Lu Ming, which was not very friendly.
I didn’t believe that this guy didn’t understand his hint yesterday, so he didn’t expect it and pretended to be dumbfounded.
Chandler asked his student Barber to sit next to him and talk about military legal issues.
Mainly the boundary issue between non-judicial punishment and judicial punishment (military court).
Listening to Chandler's words, he advocates greatly reducing the space for non-judicial punishment and hopes that military courts can play the most important role in disciplinary issues in the military system.
As the kingdom's chief military prosecutor, there is naturally no problem with his position. Why should he serve his position? He must strive for more power for that position.
Barber was submissive and didn't dare to speak.
Chandler looked at Lu Ming, "Bit, as the head of the military police regiment, what do you think about this issue?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Of course the army must also enforce strict legal rules. Only in this way can there be strict discipline, and punishment cannot be dictated by the commander's personal emotions."
Of course, Lu Ming was not speaking from his heart, nor was he just trying to cater to Chandler, but was talking about Sonia's military system. Of course, the more chaotic the better.
In fact, from the perspective of the military system, except for real crimes, officers and soldiers who violate regulations should certainly not go through the cumbersome procedures of military courts and use non-judicial punishment, which is a form of military justice authorized by the "Uniform Code of Military Justice".
Allows commanders to manage troops through administrative means without court enforcement. Punishment can range from verbal reprimand to demotion, correctional custody, restrictions on rations, reduced pay, additional responsibilities or restrictions on movement, etc.
Commanders can quickly impose punishments, which not only ensures the commander's prestige, but also handles minor violations more efficiently.
Now is the period of improvement of the military legal system. Whether it is the Kingdom of Sonia or the Kingdom of Grifenni, it is true that military prosecutors hope to expand their authority and apply the civilian judicial system to the military.
Lu Ming naturally agreed with this trend in front of Chandler.
Chandler glanced at Lu Ming, "However, the military has its own special characteristics. If military courts dominate the disciplinary system, it will affect the operating model of the armed forces, damage the prestige of the commander, and even affect the operational efficiency of the armed forces.
, which is something often mentioned by those who oppose us.”
Lu Mingdao: "It is normal for many people not to understand the changes that affect the changing times. Only an army that operates a strict legal system and follows it will be a victorious army. Our social development model has proven this.
The Northern Territory used to be a desert of law, and the people were ignorant and barren. Now Black Mountain Castle has introduced the legal system into the Northern Territory, and the changes brought about are obvious." After a pause, "We can completely reduce the space for non-judicial punishment in the military system.
Set up a pilot project, for example in the Western Region, to show that our armed forces have caused great harm to the people here, and this move can also bridge the rift between us."
Admiral Chandler listened patiently and did not express his position, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was quite moved.
