A man in love loves only his ego, everything he desires to be, everything he ought to be, that is, his truest, deepest, and recognizable nature, which is free from all fetters and inevitable limitations, and from all the stains of the world. He projects his own ideal, an ideal of an existence of absolute value, an ideal that cannot be found in himself, onto another person.

– Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

Bai Feng, who felt that time was pressing, directly reorganized the 12,000 officers and men of the new army into eight urban defense army units after recalling the 12,000 eliminated new troops, and the officers at the command level and below were to be the quasi-barons and veterans who had been arranged long ago.

Before dispatching the various city defense troops to the garrison, Bai Feng specially held a grand bonfire party for them in the barracks outside the city of Brojansson, and in the middle of the party, Bai Feng solemnly announced that he would personally give each soldier a settling-in allowance of 100 gold coins!

This move caused the officers and men of the city defense army, who already respected Bai Feng, to immediately chant the slogan of 'Long live the general'; when the slogan of the earth-shattering resounded throughout the barracks, the faces of the generals of the Hurricane Legion who had come to attend the party showed a strong look of helplessness.

The official order for the reorganization of the Swift Wind Thieves Regiment into the Swift Wind Legion has been issued, and Bai Feng, who has received the order, is recruiting the required soldiers for the Swift Legion in the counties of Brojansson Province and Toulon Province, with an estimated number of about 15,000 recruits.

Using 15,000 recruits who have a good impression of him and 5,000 veterans who are loyal to Prince William to mix them is the first step for Bai Feng to slowly annex the Wind Legion, and the second step is to place a large number of officers at all levels of the Feather Forest Legion and enter the Wind Legion.

The reason why Bai Feng wantonly sent officers of all levels to the Hurricane Legion was that the Tempest Thieves Regiment was originally only a civilian bandit force and did not have the combat experience of the regular Legion, and in order to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Hurricane Legion, he sent veterans to help the Tempest Legion.

The 20,000-strong Hurricane Regiment was undoubtedly the commander of the Tempest, with Montgomery as the commander of the two divisions and Mountbatten and Casvol respectively, and the remaining 10 wing commanders and 40 captains were all the backbone elites transferred from various divisions of the Yulin Regiment.

It was obvious that Mountbatten would not be subdued by White Peak, and as for the fierce and furious Carswall, it seemed that a simple-minded man was always more worthy of trust in loyalty, and his loyalty to Prince William and trust in Montgomery was stronger than anyone else.

Auchinleck, Paresi, Slim, Cunningham, and other four people who have not been appointed for the time being, Cunningham is actually Bai Feng's personal staff, and there is no need to make any further arrangements; Auchinleck, Paresi, and Slim were called by Bai Feng to the governor's palace in the capital.

Bai Feng is the commander of the Fourth Route Army under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Eastern Army, and the three of Auchinleck are all his nominal subordinates; this seemingly weak relationship between superiors and subordinates is not worthless, at least Auchinleck and the others can't refuse Bai Feng's initiative to summon him.

After the three of them came to the conference room, Bai Feng put the appointment letter he had already written on the conference table and said: "General Auchinleck, I understand your ability, the stage of the Swift Wind Legion is too small for you to play, I have a new position here, you can take a look." ”

"The last general, thank you General Bai Feng for your kindness. In the face of Bai Feng's straightforward solicitation, Auchinleke refused without hesitation: "But the last general knows that he is embarrassed by the big responsibility, and he really doesn't want to waste the position that should belong to the capable, and he hopes that the general will choose another talent!"

Auchinleck's refusal did not exceed Bai Feng's expectations, if Auchinleke really accepted, then Bai Feng would really have to consider whether Auchinleck was worthy of his solicitation;

"General Auchinleck, I know that you are thinking of Prince William and Duke Cullen and are unwilling to betray them, but do you think they are really worthy of your allegiance?" Speaking of this, Bai Feng calmly slapped his palms a few times.

Subsequently, Cunningham, who had been hiding in the secret door of the conference room early, opened the secret door and walked out; Cunningham's appearance surprised the three Auchinleck, who had not seen him for several days, and they didn't know about Cunningham's defection to Bai Feng.

Cunningham, who was burdened with heavy responsibilities, ignored the doubts of the three Auchinleck, but took care of himself to tell the past of his hatred with the Phantom Demon Thieves, and after finishing speaking, he stood behind Bai Feng with an expressionless face to express his current position.

After listening to Cunningham's words, Auchinleck, who had been speechless for a long time, said bitterly: "His Royal Highness William is also forced to be helpless, if it weren't for the orcs who destroyed His Highness's foundation, why would His Highness form an alliance with Prince Philip, who is like a grass on the wall?"

With such a pale and weak explanation, Cunningham didn't even have the slightest interest in refuting it, and seeing that the conference room was about to be cold again, Bai Feng, who had made up his mind, spoke again: "General Auchinleck, you can read my appointment letter first, and then consider whether you are willing." ”

Auchinleck, who did not intend to accept Bai Feng's appointment, had to pick up the top of the three appointment letters on the table in order to relieve his embarrassment;

Bai Feng, who likes history, has always believed in such a wise saying: women don't care about decency, decency is because they are tempted too little, men don't care about loyalty, loyalty is because the bargaining chips for betrayal are too low.

Bai Feng believed that the price he had offered for Auchinleck was something he couldn't refuse, especially when there was a crack in the originally firm belief in his heart, and the power of logistics scheduling of the entire two provinces was probably not even available to a few princes in the imperial capital!

"White ...... General Bai Feng, are you really going to appoint me as the logistics chief of the two provinces?!"

Auchinleck's voice became trembling as he spoke, which showed how much this appointment had an impact on him, and this was the result that Bai Feng wanted.

"General Auchinleck, it's not that I'm going to appoint you as the logistics chief of the two provinces, but I have already appointed you as the logistics chief of the two provinces; as long as you are willing to accept this letter of appointment, from this moment on, you will be my logistics director of the two provinces!"

"This ......" on the one hand, he has been loyal to Prince William for more than ten years and Montgomery who has been following him for more than ten years, and on the other hand, he has always wanted to achieve his ambitions.

Paresi on the side didn't have so many concerns, he picked up the appointment letter that belonged to him on the conference table, and then frowned and said, "General Bai Feng, are you going to appoint me as your personal guard?"

"There are three of my personal guards, all of them are intermediate sword masters, if you are willing to be my fourth personal bodyguard, you can learn from them in the future, and when you are successful in your studies, I will give you more important positions. ”

"Three Intermediate Sword Masters?!" Paresi was not the only one who exclaimed, and Auchinleck and Slim's equally startled eyes were about to pop out.

Bai Feng, who smiled and didn't speak, looked at Paresi with expectant eyes, and Paresi, who was excited, immediately said: "General Bai Feng, I will be your fourth personal guard in the future!"

At this moment, his loyalty to Prince William and his feelings for the Windwind Legion were all forgotten by the obsessive Paresi, and with Paresi as an example, Auchinleck finally couldn't resist the temptation of the logistics chief of the two provinces and accepted Bai Feng's appointment.

Slim, who was appointed by Bai Feng as the chief general of the cavalry overseer, also decided to accept Bai Feng's appointment after receiving Bai Feng's promise to appoint him as the commander of the legion in the next three years;
