After breakfast, senior officers who received orders came to the palace one after another to participate in the preparatory meeting for the general meeting of the military department. The officers who had not seen each other for a long time gathered together. The entrance to the front palace was bustling, with war horses neighing and people shouting.
Since the beginning of the war, the commanders of each of the three legions have rushed to their respective battlefields. Now, as the victors of the war, they meet again in front of the palace. The scene is so lively that it can be used to light a fire.
Although these officers all wear powerful military uniforms, they still like to have fun. They can control themselves during the war because they are fighting. Now... their behavior is no different from ordinary soldiers.
"Haha - you stinky piece of shit!" Several officers yelled and hugged each other.
"Holy shit, you pervert, you're not dead yet!" Two officers, you punched me, I kicked you and they started to make a fuss.
"Come on, come on, I just saw Brother Chatai, come with me... stop picking your nose!" Several more people were scurrying around in the crowd.
"We are glorious warriors, we are passionate men, we fight bloody battles...ah...the men of the thirty-six tribes are so strong..." There were also officers who huddled together and sang with tone-deaf voices.
, looking at them, they seem to want to turn the palace into a sea of joy.
It's no wonder that in His Majesty Cohen's army, a large number of officers were directly transferred from soldiers and slaves, and the war has never stopped. Naturally, His Majesty Cohen has no time to arrange for them to learn etiquette. In fact, they can
Complying with military law is already very good - this is because the military judge is particularly capable.
As for what other people think of them, how can they have time to think about it? Isn’t it better to just be happy?
But another group of officers not far away from them were different from them. These officers had extraordinary bearing and paid great attention to their own image. They were even more meticulous in their clothing. Not even a wrinkle could be found on their uniforms, and their high riding boots were polished.
It can be used as a mirror, and the sword is maintained like a handicraft... They first handed the war horse to their guards to take away, then softly said hello to their colleagues, and then stayed quietly at the side of the palace gate, waiting for the order to enter.
These officers are the officers of the original imperial system who were retained by His Majesty Cohen's father, Prince Visu Keda. They are all officers with aristocratic backgrounds. In addition to the three major legions, most of His Majesty Cohen's troops have such officers.
It is a force as important as the officer system cultivated by His Majesty Cohen himself.
As nobles, they must not allow anyone to behave rudely in front of them. As for the various behaviors of those "lively and rough" civilian officers, the noble officers can only pretend not to see it at the moment. Of course, they will be very dissatisfied, but they are
He has outstanding military exploits. Besides, even the great His Majesty Cohen doesn't care about it. It's not a big deal to stand out on his own...
Speaking of His Majesty Cohen! He seems to particularly like this tune.
Fortunately, not long after, the officer on duty from the palace arrived.
"All attention - stand at attention!" The tall brigadier opened his mouth and gave an order loudly with a strong voice: "Officers from each department will first store their weapons and then enter according to their establishment. Because a military meeting is being held in the front palace, today's meeting
The meeting location is the meeting building of the Liaison Department of the Main Palace!"
"Yes!" All the officers replied in a loud voice, and then divided into two distinct groups and moved towards the palace gate.
The aristocratic officers quickly completed the registration and weapons storage procedures, and entered the palace in an orderly manner. However, the civilian officers had much more trouble. It was not that anyone was making things difficult for them, it was just that they had more weapons, and each person only had a long sword.
Not to mention, there are also daggers, daggers, hand crossbows, slings, nooses... God knows where they just hid these things, anyway, everyone can take out a bunch of things for you.
The officer on duty walked over and stood next to a lieutenant colonel who was taking out weapons. This guy had already taken out six weapons and was taking out the seventh.
"Why do you bring so many weapons?" The brigadier general was angry and funny: "This is the palace, the home of His Majesty the Emperor, not a battlefield."
"Sir, Chief Cohen - His Majesty Cohen said before that we never know what will happen at the next moment, so we must always make the necessary preparations." The young lieutenant colonel took out a handful from his trouser pocket.
Putting the dagger on the registrar's desk, he breathed out a sigh of relief: "Finally everything is done!"
"Where did you put the things just now?" The brigadier general looked at the officer in front of him. He was thin and small, and there was nothing unusual about him on the surface: "Which unit does it belong to?"
"Sir, I am the deputy commander of the 17th Regiment of the Third Regiment of the Guards." The little officer smiled and said, "The method of concealing weapons was taught by His Majesty Cohen and cannot be passed on to others."
"Then let's go in!" The brigadier general sighed. He knew that he had something to do with His Majesty, but he couldn't ask why. When the little officer walked into the palace door, the brigadier suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked: "Mr.
School, do you also have any medicinal powder on you?"
"Yes... yes." The lieutenant colonel blinked and replied sincerely: "Sir, which category do you mean?"
"No matter what category, keep them all for me!" Upon hearing this answer, the brigadier general was furious! But thinking that he was on duty, he still calmed down his emotions: "Those who passed by in front of me, please hand over all the powder to me.
Come out, this is an order!"
The officers obeyed orders very well. All the civilian officers who passed by hurriedly ran back and handed over the powder they had on them... Everyone actually had it.
Seeing the pile of medicine packets on the table, the officer on duty felt scared for letting this thing enter the palace. Thinking about the responsibility he had shouldered, he wanted to cry.
This situation was also seen by the noble officers. Most of them just shook their heads and walked towards the main palace in twos and threes. It was not because they didn't want to care, but because they were worried about more important things in their hearts, and this matter was the allocation of new positions in the future!
According to well-informed sources, this time there are three provincial governors, six deputy ministerial positions, nearly ten military academies, seventeen provincial garrison commanders, and more than thirty candidates for corps commanders in the army.
The most important thing about choosing from the system is that there are dozens of general ranks waiting for you!
Even for aristocratic officers, these positions and titles are very attractive, especially provincial governors and garrison commanders, who are simply the little overlords of the party. Even the dean of the academy is not bad! The position is leisurely, and in the future there will be disciples all over the world.
, speaking by yourself can be regarded as a response to a hundred calls.
But looking at the situation in front of us, it seems that more civilian officers are attending the meeting. If they are distributed according to the number of people, there are obviously fewer aristocratic officers. Wouldn't that be a disadvantage?
This job promotion is not simple. The result will be directly related to the future power distribution of the empire. Because of the rebellion, the power of the aristocracy has been greatly harmed. It is urgent to expand the number of nobles during this job promotion and regain its footing.
position.
Judging from His Majesty Cohen's consistent performance, he seems to be more willing to mix with civilian officers. Although he is from a noble family, there is no policy that favors the aristocracy... In addition, the attitudes of the three princes have always been ambiguous.
This makes people even more worried.
Based on the above reasons, the nobles inside and outside the Holy Capital have already taken action. They exchange news and are determined to regain their glory in this job adjustment and restore the glory of the entire imperial nobility.
Even if the promotion of this group of civilian officers is unstoppable, they must do their best to curb the spread of this momentum. The aristocratic officers are not worried about what His Majesty the Emperor thinks - this is not inconsistent with the emperor's wishes, because the royal family is considered a noble after all.
A member! Under the current circumstances, of course it will be inconvenient for His Majesty to come forward.
One side was worried, the other side was laughing and joking, the officers from the two camps walked into the liaison office conference building.
In the imperial garden, His Majesty Cohen and several imperial concubines were playing with Princess Qinlun. Judging from the emperor's relaxed expression, there was nothing to worry about at the moment. Qinlun's identity as the princess has also been planned, and Prince Weisu will come over again.
One day, a formal statement will be submitted to the Royal General Secretary, recognizing Qin Lun as his daughter - that is, the sister of His Majesty the Emperor. Qin Lun will be given the surname of Keda and become a member of the royal family.
Apart from her brothers and sisters, Qin Lun likes to stay with cute animals the most. Now, His Majesty Cohen took her to the Royal Zoo early in the morning and picked out a lot of cute rare animals. He also called Bai Ying
Communicate with the animals. If you don’t have fun with Princess Qinlun, you will kill them and eat them...
Abu is happy. He is pampered by Princess Dier, and now he is also pampered by Princess Qinlun. The only bad thing is that Princess Qinlun keeps feeding him food, and as a fantasy beast, Abu does not need to eat anything.
Usually I just drink a little juice when I eat with everyone.
"Good morning, His Majesty the Emperor." The secretary-general found an opening and walked up behind Cohen and said softly: "Your Majesty, the officers participating in the meeting have already arrived. Is there anything else you would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Go tell the General Staff Officer and ask him to send someone to chair the meeting." His Majesty Cohen was feeding Princess Qinlun: "After winning the battle, the officers will inevitably be a little excited. Don't mind it. After announcing the promotion list, try to collect opinions - simply
Let the General Staff Officer and several people from the military department come to my place."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Secretary-General was about to leave when he thought of something else: "Your Majesty, are Brigadier Generals Helter and Moya coming too?"
"And Mafa and Jack, call them all." His Majesty the Emperor nodded: "I have something to ask them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the secretary-general left, Princess Feilin walked up to the emperor: "Cohen, what are you thinking about? Why did you call them all to the harem? Something happened?"
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong now." Cohen turned his head and showed a sincere smile to Feilin: "Let me tell you, let's take a break this morning, okay? Heltmoya and I haven't gotten together for a long time.
"
Before Feilin could say anything, Kelly on the side shouted: "Okay! My husband will have a holiday every day when he comes back!"
"Kelly, please don't be happy. How can the royal family have a real holiday? My husband is probably asking the general staff officer and others to avoid something." Dill said to his maid: "Go and bring here the official documents that need to be processed today."
"Cohen, is this true?" Wen Sili, who was holding Princess Qinlun, looked over worriedly: "Is the matter serious?"
"It's not serious at all, it's just that I let this happen in advance and I can't delay it any longer." Cohen stood up: "Oh my god, my wives are so amazing, they can guess my intentions in just a few seconds."
...Don’t you know? If a woman is too smart, she will have a very hard life.”
"What? Don't you think we are having a hard time now?" Dill came over with a wicked smile on his face and rolled up his sleeves: "You brat - you owe me a lot!"
"It's hard work, isn't it enough?" Cohen laughed. When Dill let down his guard, he hugged her and gave her a long kiss. Then he ran away quickly and shouted from a distance: "I'll pick up Geert."
them……"
"Bad boy!" Dill was embarrassed and angry, and couldn't catch up. He could only stamp his feet and said, "You become an emperor and you still look like a gangster!"
Her words made several other imperial concubines bend over with laughter on the spot.
In the conference building of the Liaison Department, the people participating in the meeting have already taken their seats. Although there are many people, they only occupy a small half of the large conference hall - this conference building was the former Imperial Elders Conference Building, and the scale is a bit too large.
The official presiding over the meeting came to the front desk, and the officers sitting on both sides had quieted down, three-fifths of the civilian officers and two-fifths of the noble officers.
A soldier wearing a straight military uniform and the rank of major general took off his cloak and stood on the podium: "Everyone, because the military officials have more important things to do today, I will preside over this meeting."
"Yes, sir!" the officers replied in unison, but they all wondered in their hearts, why didn't they see a familiar commander presiding over it? This major general should have just been promoted, and he was still a colonel when I saw him a few days ago... But
This major general was considered a pleasing figure in the eyes of both nobles and civilian officers, because he came to His Majesty Cohen along with the General Staff Officer.
In the eyes of the noble officers, he has a noble status and is one of his own. In the eyes of the civilian officers, he has fought side by side with everyone since the early days of the creation of the Dark Province. He has eaten in one pot and drank water in one cup. He is a worthy person.
trustworthy guy.
"Then, now I announce the beginning of the meeting." The major general nodded: "The first item on the agenda of today's meeting is to discuss the newly created thirty legions. We know that the current establishment of the three legions is already super large. One
The formation of the regiment is even larger than that of a legion, and for an empire, such an organization is obviously very inflexible..."
The noble officers all lowered their heads and picked up the documents in front of them to read, while the civilian officers focused their eyes on the major general presiding over the meeting, and listened to every word he said - they were illiterate.
, can’t understand the file at all.
"The establishment of thirty legions will be distributed all over the country." The major general asked someone to hang up a huge map and took out the map to explain: "Among them, strategic strategic points, transportation arteries and resource-rich provinces will be important locations.
,Border defense is also part of the responsibility..."
"I'm sorry, sir." A noble officer raised his hand: "I want to ask a question."
"Permission, ask!" Adhering to the tradition of His Majesty Cohen, questions are allowed at any time in any meeting.
"Approximately how many people are there in these legions? What is the situation of the soldiers?" The noble officer asked: "The command system? Are they directly under the command of His Majesty the Emperor or are they under the command of the military department?"
"Hey, that's weird." Before the major general could answer, a civilian officer said, "If the army doesn't obey the emperor's orders, who's orders should it obey?"
Before he finished speaking, a second voice immediately spoke in the corner: "Listen to the second Luhmann."
In the eyes of civilian officers, this is a joke, or not intentional, but in the eyes of noble officers, this is a naked provocation, especially the second sentence, which is a humiliation to all nobles!
All the aristocratic officers made a "wow" sound and stood up immediately, glaring at the civilian officers. Most of the civilian officers did not quite understand their behavior... What are you doing? Are you having a convulsion? But the other party stood up with ill intentions.
, they stood up lazily and pretended to be good.
"What are you doing? Did I give you the order to stand up?" Everyone who has been around His Majesty Cohen has a special charm, and his attitude changes quickly. The major general's gentle eyes swept across the venue and immediately became majestic.
Incomparable: "Sit down for me!"
With the major general's stern reprimand, the officers slowly sat down, but an uneasy atmosphere had already spread in the venue.
"Don't forget your identities. You are loyal to the Al-Qaeda family and the empire. You fought bloody battles for the above reasons. I don't want to hear what you just said again." The major general knocked on the podium in front of him: "Back to the topic...
...The establishment of each of our legions will depend on the specific situation. Each service is different, with a number of between 10,000 and 20,000. The command system is integrated with the three parties, and in peacetime, the deployment of personnel and the location of the garrison are subject to the military headquarters.
The arrangements, training and defense are subject to the arrangements of the commander of the theater. In wartime, multiple legions will form a group, and His Majesty the Emperor will send a commander...His Majesty the Emperor can override the command at any time."
Because the major general's words contained too much important information, the tension in the scene eased. Another noble officer asked: "Excuse me, sir, what is the relationship between the garrison and the local area? What obligations and responsibilities do we bear to the local area?"
"You don't need to interfere with local security. They have a garrison." The major general replied: "In connection with local affairs, His Majesty the Emperor will set up a theater command organization. At that time, the theater commander will issue orders for you - if there is a large-scale encounter in the local area,
For violent incidents and natural disasters, at the request of local internal affairs officials, you can promptly handle them within the scope of your authority."
"What about troop movements?"
"There is one thing you must pay special attention to. This is the most important. Without the order of His Majesty the Emperor, you must not take the troops out of the war zone." The major general said in a very solemn tone: "If you take them out, they will be judged by the military judge.
If it is regarded as treason, no one can save you, not even His Majesty the Emperor - even the capital pardon order cannot pardon the rebels."
"Hey, I heard it's troublesome for nobles to go out." The voice that stirred up all the troubles sounded faintly in the corner again: "Don't bring more guards just to show off your power, and end up losing your head."
"Who is it..." The aristocratic officer who asked the question finally couldn't stand it any longer, stood up and shouted angrily: "As a man, if you have something to say, you should stand up and say it, sneaking like a bed bug!"
Maybe he was just talking about the civilian officer who answered the call, but he used the wrong word. Bedbug has always been a collective term for untouchables or slaves by nobles. This is what civilian officers can't stand the most... Now it was lively.
A civilian officer jumped up.
"Noble bastards, what are you talking about?" This was a short officer. He stood directly on the chair: "Don't scold me if you dare, come and fight with grandpa, and the loser crawls out naked!"
"A bunch of ignorant fools." Because the matter of promotion was stuck in their throats, most noble officers could not restrain their emotions: "Come on! Today I will let you see what a true noble is!"
“Quiet—quiet!” the major general slapped the podium: “Quiet!”
Unfortunately, the angry officer did not listen to him.
"You stinky bitches - if we hadn't fought, you would have finished it by now!"
"His Majesty the Emperor allows you to become officers, which is already a great honor in itself - you don't know how to repay, and you have no shame!"
"Fuck you x——I'm so impatient!"
"The honor of the nobility cannot be tarnished, we must protect our reputation!"
When the two sides were gearing up to rush in and start a fight, the door to the conference room was kicked open with a loud noise! (To be continued)
