The Genoese Civil Guard, a total of two regiments.

It consists of 16 infantry companies, 2 artillery companies, 2 baggage companies, and a small number of reconnaissance units and auxiliary personnel. Now they are all infantrymen and are undergoing the same basic cohort training, and some will stand out as non-commissioned officers and junior officers.

However, it is a great test of the instructors' patience to let these young people, who were peasants not long ago, distinguish between left and right and listen to orders clearly, not to mention that there will be more complicated line tactical training in the future, not to mention the artillery company with higher requirements for soldiers.

Of the twenty instructors, each was in charge of a company, with Herbert Wells being the most senior, who had been a company commander for seven years, and whom Sean appointed as chief instructor.

Wells did a pretty good job, and when at least 2,300 people stood in front of Sean, they could finally see a little bit of troops.

There needs to be a sense of ritual in life, and even more so in the military.

The solemn ceremony can make the participants imperceptibly infected, educated and motivated, and is also conducive to the cultivation of honor and team concept.

Today was a gun ceremony, and Sean personally handed each rifle that was still stained with gun oil into the hands of each soldier.

Although it was a tedious and time-consuming process, Sean always stood tall and his face was serious and sacred.

Sean's serious attitude seemed to infect everyone on the scene.

Everything seemed to be going well, and although the Genoa Civil Defense had only just been formed, there was too little time for Sean, who had done everything he could.

This is evidenced by the high level of satisfaction shown by Viscount Brandon when he came to inspect "his" army a few days apart.

Viscount Brandon's only contribution during this time was to personally design a military flag - a battle flag embroidered with a golden shield and crossed straight swords in red texture, trimmed with gold tassels.

However, to Sean's surprise, Viscount Brandon, who was too addicted to generals after the parade, vaguely expressed the intention of persuading Sean to put down his work as a border guard and rest for a while.

Sean thought that the viscount was afraid that he would have too much influence on this civil defense army and threaten his authority, but when he really left his job in the civil defense army and was busy with the tea business that he had not been caring about recently, no one on the part of the civil defense came to him.

It wasn't until Chief Instructor Wells sent someone to ask if Sean had resigned from the Civil Defense Army that Sean suddenly woke up.

At this time, Governor Byrne invited Sean to the Governor's Palace, which was attended by Siyes, the permanent member of the Estates-General and chairman of the Military Materiel Review Committee, Posey Robinson, the vice chairman, and Viscount Bieber Lincoln, as well as the other members of the council, as well as Daley, the chief of the secret police.

Viscount Brandon had written a letter of protest to the Holy City in an attempt to get Daley away, citing Daly's failure to capture the True God Party, which had led to the rampant rebellion.

However, the head of the secret police was not punished except for a reprimand. It is also a reflection of the increasing concentration of power on the Quds side.

Viscount Brandon once told Sean that it was a disgrace to the Southern aristocracy, and he attributed it to the bullying of the Northerners.

But today's meeting made Sean feel like he was being fooled. Sean has been accused of several things:

First, it seems inappropriate to place private individuals in the Civil Defence Force;

Second, taking advantage of one's authority to directly purchase arms from arms dealers without public bidding is suspected of giving and receiving arms from each other privately.

The above are just trumped-up accusations, and Sean can refute them one by one.

But what shocked Sean the most was that when Daley was arresting a rebel, he found twenty rifles in his house, traced down the Civil Defense Ordnance Depot according to the number on the barrel of the rifle, and arrested three soldiers.

Sean, however, had no idea about the loss of the rifle. The Civil Defense Force is only in its infancy, internal control is not in place, and Sean's energy is also limited, so it is impossible to do everything.

It is not impossible for a soldier who cannot resist the temptation to resell arms.

But there was such a serious leak, and Sean couldn't defend himself, because the evidence was conclusive, and the three soldiers were also members of the True God Party.

Sean, in an instant, thought a lot.

It is no coincidence that at the last Estates-General, Sean was hired as a military adviser to the Civil Defence Force during the day and was attacked at night.

Only the rebel party did not want Genoa to establish its own armed forces, and the assassination of Sean was also a logical thing, including the assassination of Viscount Brandon, but the rebel party failed to succeed, but it was counterproductive.

When the rebel party is unable to prevent the establishment of the Civil Defense Force, they regard themselves as a thorn in their side, and it is also a kind of revenge for them to lose their right to speak to the Civil Defense Force.

Daly stared at the ceiling, expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he had nothing to do with it.

"Viscount Connally, given that you are no longer fit for a position in the Civil Defence Force, and for the sake of your decency, we would like you to withdraw voluntarily. ”

Byrne said cautiously.

"Decent, I have been expelled by you, what more decency is there, in the last two months, I have devoted more energy and time to the Civil Defence Force than to my property. Sean said angrily, "Yes, I admit that I don't manage the Civil Defense Forces properly, but what have you been doing in the last two months? I have to ask myself what size shoes the soldiers are wearing!"

was angrily reprimanded by Sean in person, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

"You're accusing me of planting private individuals, who are my private individuals? Are the disaster victims? Or the instructors, they're just hired people on a one-year contract. As for the purchase of arms, I swear, at the same price, can you buy a rifle that is better than the Bess's 1830 rifled gun?" Sean continued.

Sean's tone was extremely unhappy, and Siyes said:

"Lord Viscount, this is not our accusation against you. The first two are just some of the anonymous letters we received, and although there is no substantial evidence, it is better to avoid suspicion. As for the case of the lost arms, the evidence is conclusive, and I really can't imagine how much trouble it would have been if these rifles had fallen into the hands of the rebels and actually been used? You can't deny this, right?"

"it, I'll quit!" Sean didn't want to dwell on it and slammed the door.

This kind of splashing dirty water is extremely annoying, and in the end, even if it can be proved wrong, it will cause a fuss for no reason, and it may never be cleaned.

Percy Robinson was behind.

"Sean, wait for me!"

"Percy, are you here to see me laughing, to see me cry, or to see me repent? Stop dreaming, next life!" Sean said angrily.

"Sean, you take your breath. I'm not in the mood to see your jokes. Percy grabbed the reins of Sean's mount.

"Is that to show sympathy? put away your cheap sympathy. Sean was furious.

Percy said helplessly: "Sean, you have been so smooth sailing lately, once you have suffered a little setback, you start complaining, thinking that all the Genoese are your enemies. ”

"Isn't it?" asked Sean.

"No, at least I'm willing to be your friend. Percy shook his head, "Sean, you've succeeded in inspiring jealousy in others. ”

"What do you mean?" Sean calmed down slightly.

"You are too showy, when the disaster strikes, others only care about their own family property, only you stand up to help the victims, instead of taking the opportunity to occupy the land of the victims, so it seems that they are incompetent and greedy.

And in fact, you ruled Sipuwatu, and you had the interests of Sipuwatu for the next twenty years or more, and by the way, there is also the tea that has recently become popular throughout the empire, and I heard that these originally inconspicuous leaves have been sold by you for sky-high prices, and countless gold coins flow into your cash cabinet every day. Oh my God, that's jealous. ”

Posey's teasing, even with a tone of schadenfreude, quickly calmed Sean down.

Percy is sometimes unlikable, cynical, and mean-spoken, but he often sees human nature very clearly and hits the nail on the head.

"So who's jealous of me, Daley?" asked Sean.

"Everyone, but not just one person. "You can call him or them 'the Diehard.'" Sean, you are an outlier among the aristocracy, especially in our south, who stubbornly believe that the world will always be the way it is, but whenever they find someone who wants to change the status quo, they instinctively block it. ”

"Who will take my place in the CDF?" asked Sean.

"That dude. Percy replied disdainfully.

"Viscount Lincoln?" Sean wondered.

Viscount Bieber-Lincoln was by no means a playboy, on the contrary, he had a good reputation and popularity among the Poitou people. But Percy was born to disagree with him, and privately always called Viscount Lincoln a playboy.

Posizzi said:

"You don't suspect he's jealous of you, do you? I don't like him, but he's a very measured person. ”

"Not really, it's just a little weird. Bieber and I have a good personal relationship, so it stands to reason that he should avoid suspicion, did he take the initiative?" Sean shook his head.

"No, it was Daley who proposed it, and only this playboy is qualified to take your place at the moment. The others, who were nothing more than merchants and landlords, would do everything possible to make money out of their own pockets if they were to run the Civil Guard, so Governor Byrne would not look down on them. "I heard that Daley had a holiday with you, because you were attacked during the last Estates-General, right?" Viscount Brandon threatened to get him away, and you were behind it?"

Sean didn't deny that if he could get Daley away, he was honestly optimistic. And the beam was concluded.

But Sean didn't think Daley was going to have trouble with him because of this, and he didn't have the energy to turn the majority of the committee against him.

On the contrary, the "stubborn" mentioned by Posey is more suspicious.

Sean's existence does hinder the interests of many people.

For example, the people of Sipwatu, who lost their lives in the disaster, have a total of millions of acres of land, which they originally considered to be in their pockets.

It's like a vulture standing aside, indifferently watching the dying man struggle at the end, waiting for a feast to begin, but unexpectedly, Sean, an outlier, appeared, making the feast come to naught.

This stubbornness refers not only to conceptual stubbornness, but also to the stubborn hierarchy of the jungle.

Sean obviously broke the rules, and those stubborn people endured it for a long time, and finally gave Sean a small lesson through the loss of the firearm.

It's just that it's hard to say who will benefit in the end.
