Chapter 1235: The Last Event of the Year
The history of the Federation is not without the appearance of "civilian" born heads of state. However, we must also know that if the rulers of a country really have formed a very complete class character, it is no longer too important who the head of state isβthe right and left are just a butler who will dance to his baton at any time.www.biquge.info The ruling class of the Federation, the Alpha Lords, has always thought so. In fact, it is indeed impossible for those "civilian" born heads of state to really shake the control of the various resources of the federation by the gate lord families, so they choose to cooperate very happily. At the end of their tenure, they were also well rewarded.
Of course, the history of the Federation is not unique to a person who came from a civilian background, but had a dazzling magical talent, and a tenacious and tenacious will, and finally became a transcendent spellcaster and climbed to a high position. In this case, the Arcane giants will choose to win over and cooperate very smartly, such as marriage, marriage, or marriage. In short, in order to maintain the dominance of the class, the family gate valve does not mind having another family on their equal footing, and anyway, the group of spellcasters is also very realistic. Generations of magical talents have not been produced, or the pillars and successors have all died, and there are many aristocratic families that have declined and disappeared because of this.
Because of this, the class of the Federation is not solidified at all, really!
But, like Russell? Clement, who finally climbed up with talent, hard work and strength, already has the strength and status that the gate valve aristocracy can't directly suppress, but he just refuses to betray his class, and has to ask for the people's life, and the guy who resists the gate valve is really the first since the founding of the Federation.
Really, a spellcaster is a spellcaster, a nobleman is a nobleman, and a commoner is a commoner! If spellcasters and nobles don't have privileges, then what is the purpose of studying magic...... Yes! No, we didn't say that! Do we mean that if the state is not handed over to us, the powerful and wise occult seekers who seek the only truth in the world, is it really to be handed over to the weak and fickle peasants and petty burghers?
It is not that we have usurped the privileges of the state, but that the country and the people need us! Why don't you just understand such a simple thing? Since you don't choose to do it with us, you're the enemy! And the enemy must be destroyed!
The above is probably what the Gate Valve Sect wants to say to Master Rassell the most, right?
However, after decades of power play, Master Russell, who had endured the wind and rain, not only did not fall, but grew strongly, until now, it has finally become a towering tree that competes with the nobles of the gate.
β¦β¦ Of course, he couldn't have grown this far. Born as a civilian, after all, his foundation is unstable, and the resources he can use are far less than the gate valve system.
However, during his tenure as Minister of War, the Federation (no matter how much it was lost), did completely wipe out the undead power on the Henas Peninsula, eliminated the plague king Kazan, and obtained the "borderlands" of Black Man City and Black Earth Hills, while also maintaining its presence in Tatsuhai, and further taking the island of Tatuga.
In the election campaign, he should have been overwhelmed by the overwhelming propaganda offensive of his opponents, and by the way, bombarded by the media. However, after an initial period of embarrassing response, he seemed to have mastered a special skill in manipulating the media, and soon staged a Jedi counteroffensive...... What the Gate Valve faction has never understood is that media organizations and literati who write advertorials have always been the existence with the softest bones and the lowest discipline in the world. A little more fleshy bones, or a little bit of threat, can make them turn against each other. When you use them against others, your opponents can also use them to counter.
Naturally, in addition to a large sum of campaign funds, Lu Xi asked Bull and Grant to bring to Master Russell, and indeed included the handles of the major media organizations in the Federation, which were also collected through the Faceless Association. However, coercion and temptation of this kind of wet work seems to be a little inconsistent with Master Russell's upright and orderly painting style, so Lu Xi gave the evidence provided to him by the association and handed it over to the secret imperial history. As for what will happen next, he said that he is still a conscientious federal citizen plus a law-abiding public servant, and he does not know anything else.
All in all, the nearly year-long election period is over, and Russell? Master Clement has officially assumed the position of Chairman of the Federal Ruling Council in the Azure Palace. Of course, this is just the beginning. Since he is the "chairman," he still has to finalize the list of committee members as soon as possible.
Master Russell's running rival, former Federal Home Secretary Turner? Wielanbart also officially stepped down from his important post as Home Secretary, but instead sought the position of Speaker...... However, considering that the speaker of the House of Representatives is decided by the members of parliament and the senators, and that the parliament has always been the private domain of the gatekeepers, this should not be a problem. However, if this really happens, the confrontation between Master Russell and Daddy Seaweed will continue.
However, what happened in the Confederation had little to do with the Fourth Army Corps, which was undergoing active and arduous training. The Federation soldiers stationed near Fort Furnace naturally didn't feel any changes in the atmosphere of the environment. In comparison, what happened in the cavalry wing, uh, the "discipline rectification work", made everyone more concerned.
In short, the biggest event since the re-establishment of the regiment this time was finally over, after the heads of the two wing commanders and one stormtrooper leader were hung on the flagpole of the main battalion, and more than ten officers of all ranks were whipped, half of them were dismissed and escorted back to China, and the other half were demoted, and finally came to an end.
However, the image of the commander changed from "an amiable goddess with unparalleled appearance" to "a ruthless rakshasa who does not recognize the six relatives", and it was probably during this time. Leaving aside the regiment of battle mages composed of pure spellcasters, the cavalry wing that had been purged of many officers was pickled for the time being, however, the infantry unit composed of all kinds of soldiers and ruffians plus peasant and small citizen militias naturally became much more honest in the following days. Although the training plan of the instructors is still heavy, and some people still complain about it, at least the people who cheat and cheat are reduced to the extreme.
The commander has even made meritorious deeds, and the "second-class" cavalry officers who were born in famous families are all killed when they say they say, and their heads can be hung on the flagpole for public display - yes, these two dead cavalry captains, one is the son-in-law of the senator of the Senate, and the other is a side of the second-class Offa family - why do you, the "third-class people" of the infantry, think that you will not die even more miserably?
Sure enough, although the game of killing chickens and monkeys is a bit classical, it is really because it is easy to use, so it has been used badly. Lu Xi smiled at Sai Xiliu.
However, this is certainly not your true purpose...... At least not the whole purpose! β
yes, in fact, my real purpose is to scare the snake. But I'm sure I won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing.
"Lu Xi, I said it...... No matter what happens, we're there for you, and you really don't have to take it all on your own. β
"I understand, my dear, I understand. Don't worry, I'm not trying to hide anything, and I'm not trying to pretend to be cool because I have too much self-awareness, and I think I can take on anything directly. It's just that there are many things that are still just speculation, and it will take time to verify. Lu Xi pondered for a moment, and then said: "To be honest, the truth may be more cruel than imagined. I'm always going to give you, and myself, some time to get your mood straight. When the time comes...... If you don't hate me, I'll be very grateful to the Goddess. β
What kind of truth would that be? What did Lu Xi guess again? Sai Xiliu really cares very much, but since Lu Xi is reluctant to say it, of course she is not prepared to put any pressure on the other party. Lu Xi has always felt that he is lucky, not because the girls did not tear (in fact, they tore where he couldn't see), but because they were too understanding and never forced themselves.
In short, the training of the Fourth Army was still going on, and at this juncture, the first batch of weapons ordered by Lu Xi from NORINCO, a total of 2,000 array rifles, 100 shotguns and 100 rifled guns, plus matching ammunition, finally arrived at the barracks. Along with them were the Dwarven Emissaries from Hearth, and the official invitations they had brought.
Yes, the decennial Hearthburger Beer Festival, which is actually the biggest festival of the Dwarves, is about to begin.
Dwarves are a race that focuses on the present and looks to the future. Not only is their life very difficult, but they have never felt that there is any conflict between distance and poetry. The loss of friends and loved ones is sad, but the past is the past, you can mourn them, but you must not let this affect your life when you were alive, and even more so that you should live more than twice as wonderful, this is the highest level of mourning. And this Oktoberfest is not so much a seasonal or religious festival as a big carnival for dwarves to open their cities to visitors from all over the world.
At this time, the city of Hearthcastle, which is almost never open to foreigners, the capital of the United Kingdom of the Dwarven Clans, the city of rock walls and sandridges on the shores of the Steam Lake, will also open its doors to welcome all guests from all over the world with an unprecedented openness.
To put it bluntly, there is only this time period for the dwarven granite heads to show the virtue of hospitality.
"In short, please pass on to Your Highnesses and thank them for their kind invitation! I'll definitely be on time. Facing the envoy from the furnace castle, Lu Xi's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. However, for the senior officers of the Fourth Army Corps present, there was really no way to maintain the same calm as their commander. These people who were born into various federal families and have received a complete education can certainly see that these envoys who came to invite little Belencaster should be the dwarven rune guards from the Temple of Thunder and Flame, and the invitation envelope they brought with them is also completely engraved with the coat of arms of the meeting of the dwarven kings.
The rest of the people went to Hearthcastle, which was the usual tourists who went to the carnival, but Lu Xi was clearly the VIP of the dwarven lords. Little Berencaster's connections and popularity among the world's major forces in the dwarven community can be seen from this.
β¦β¦ We knew he was very popular, but we didn't expect it to be so good. Sometimes, rumors really have the greatest effect only when they are intuitively displayed in front of people, right?
Lu Xi didn't know that such a small welcome and send-off made the people below think wildly-even if he knew, he would only scoff at it. These people have such a delicate grasp of such meaningless details, so what kind of senior military officer are they going to be? It wouldn't be better to be a tabloid reporter and rummage through the trash cans - after sending off the dwarves who had brought the invitations, he felt it was time to pack up and "relax" a little bit at the carnival.
However, as a corps commander, if you don't care about anything and run to play, it will definitely affect the loyalty of the soldiers, right?
"That's why I asked for a little physical and skill test, plus a real combat test." Lu Xi said to everyone: "The first 100 soldiers who have won the victory will be rewarded with 100 golden milas, as well as a three-day vacation to go to the furnace castle to drink beer and participate in the carnival. This is also our last major event this year, so please be sure to tell the soldiers when you go back, and no matter what, please don't let the last day of the year happen. Of course, more importantly, don't disappoint my expectations for everyone! β
Yes, it's not a big deal to fail in life, but it's very serious to fail Your Excellency the Commander. On this point, the three heads hanging on the flagpole of the big camp must be able to explain a lot of problems.
As a result, in the subsequent "year-end final exam", the soldiers of the Fourth Army did show a rare fighting and enterprising spirit, and they did indeed have the positive and enterprising characteristics of a strong army, even if it was just a seed, but there was also the possibility of growing into a towering tree.
Of course, this may also be understood as some degree of malicious brainwashing, right? As for the bonus of 100 gold coins and the three-day holiday, how much role it played, it is also a secret for everyone.
Of course, with the arrival of the Oktoberfest, the food and drinks that Lu Xi specially ordered from the caravan were also delivered to the camp, although it could not make everyone drink happily, but the effect of everyone's joy was actually achieved. In addition, before going to the furnace castle, Lu Xi also gave a big banquet to all the officers again, although this time everyone's smiles seemed to be a little stiff and did not get high.
In any case, the overall atmosphere of the Sky Rose Legion is actually developing in a good direction, and it is a collective that can fight, probably ......
