"Stand at attention!" A long command rang out on the campus, which smelled faintly of gunpowder and blood.
In a neat formation, all the soldiers closed their legs in an instant and raised their chins, waiting for the next precise order.
The leading commander did not keep his men waiting for long, and immediately issued a skillful order: "Turn right!"
"Wow!" In the long queue, all the soldiers turned their bodies uniformly. The expressionless soldiers stared intently, waiting for their commander's new order.
"Raise the gun!" The officer standing at the end of the queue continued to shout coldly and at the top of his lungs with his hands behind his back.
Following his shout, all the soldiers picked up the M4 assault rifles in their hands and put the butts on their shoulders.
Their cheeks were pressed against the jaws on the butt of the rifles, and their eyes looked through the holographic sights on the guns to see a group of panicked people who had just stood in front of the thick wall in the distance.
There were loops of rope tied around those people, and there were a row of bodies with body temperature lying at their feet.
Behind these people, the wall was covered with bullet holes, as well as some dried blood that had turned into brown-black stains.
"Aim! Bullets...load!" The officer at one end of the queue raised his arm and shouted loudly in a long tone.
Following his order, the long row of soldiers stretched out their hands and pulled the bolts on their guns. With the sound of the bolts sliding, the entire school grounds fell silent again.
"Execution!" The officer who raised his arm suddenly swung his arm forward, and a dense burst of gunfire rang out.
The white smoke from the bullets on the wall gradually dissipated, and several shackled criminals began to step forward nervously and move the corpses in front of the wall one by one onto a flatbed truck specially designed to drag corpses.
"I... I committed murder... I still have three months to appeal... What crime did they... execute? Immediate execution?" A middle-aged man who was carrying the corpse pulled the corpse's legs while
He lowered his voice and asked his companion.
His companion pulled the prison clothes on the body with blood stains on it, and while swinging it to throw the body into the car, he answered one after another: "What other crime...can you commit...corruption?"
…I collected the money…”
As soon as his hands were loosened, the corpse was thrown onto the pile of corpses by inertia. As a result, it did not settle down and rolled down again, like a worn-out sack.
Waiting aside, a fat man who was tied with hemp rope like a rice dumpling finally couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and wanted to escape, but he couldn't pull the other prisoners tied to the same rope, so he could only hold on.
Rotate in a small area.
So the fat man cried in despair and howled: "I was wronged! I...I was wrong! I haven't gotten the money yet! Spare my life! Spare my life!"
While he was crying, he saw the middle-aged man and old man not far behind him who were also tied up and executed. So he surged with his fat body and rushed towards the two acquaintances who were usually brothers.
While pulling the rope and rushing towards the two of them, he cursed loudly: "You have killed me! You have killed me! I will fuck you! I will kill you! I will kill you!"
The guard escorting them to the execution ground frowned, walked up to the fat man, hit his fleshy face with a beard that had not been shaved for several days with the butt of a rifle, and yelled: "What are you calling the devil? Get back!"
"
Not far behind them, the flatbed truck piled with corpses had been pushed away, and the executioner's long shout rang out again: "Stand at attention! Turn right!"
…
Rubbing his eyebrows with his fingers, Alves felt that his mood was slightly better.
He raised his head and looked at Karl, the important minister of the inner court, who was standing in front of him. He sighed and said, "Has it only been a few years that the empire's officialdom has begun to collapse?"
"There is no way, we are expanding too fast, so there are problems everywhere." Karl, who has always been Chris's personal minister, had a bad expression on his face, and said to Alves: "Deputy Prime Minister
My lord, you need some thunder this time."
"It's not that the sword of the supervision department is not sharp. Deans has always been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it's not like you don't know his methods." Alves said tiredly: "It's a pity, those bastards always think that
, they will be the lucky one."
The Ailanhir Empire has expanded too fast. Now in the entire Ailanhiris, only the Eternal Empire and the hometown of the Dragon Clan are left outside the jurisdiction of the Ailanthil Empire.
As for the Eternal Empire, it is only nominally independent. In fact, the decrees of the Elanhill Empire are not only unimpeded here, but are even enforced more strictly.
However, after unifying the entire planet in less than ten years, the most critical issue for the Airanhill Empire was the shortage of talents.
Although there are magic balls of knowledge to help officials master administrative skills, professional ethics cannot be trained in a short time.
The empire could only immaturely and rigidly instill the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism into these officials over and over again, but the effect could only be considered average.
The final result is that the top officials who rule this empire are very complex. Among them are old ministers of the Elanthir Empire, old nobles from other occupied areas, and a large number of neutral factions with complex composition.
The new nobles, royal families, and new officials cultivated by the Airanhir Empire themselves, plus the nobles and new officials of other races, as well as countless surrenders and generals from the occupied areas, nobles and indigenous people in the region, old-school
Minister...
In order to quickly restore stability to the region, the empire also hired some old officials. It is difficult to say whether the governance of these people is good or bad.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the empire's officialdom began to gradually collapse.
Almost at the same time, the empire's supervisory department, legal department, and even the special mission department of the Royal Guards... these departments were investigating corruption and corruption.
Every day, corrupt officials are arrested and sent to prison, or directly to the execution ground and executed.
But even so, there are still people who are not afraid of death and are willing to embezzle and risk their lives.
There is no way. As the scale of economic construction continues to expand, there are too many projects that can make money. There are more rich people, more people who want to become richer, and more lunatics who are unwilling to take the normal path.
.
Capital is so ruthless and so stupid. Those life-hungry bastards are willing to sell the rope that hangs them as long as they see the right price.
