Chapter 1234: Purge?
Rufit? Keringles only felt a loud "boom" in his head. www.biquge.info For more than half a minute, he could hardly perceive anything, as if he had been deprived of all his senses in an instant, even his mind was completely capable of thinking and cognizing.
He knows very well that, in the final analysis, the Federation is a country that "can't punish doctors" after all. Officers who have the status of a spellcaster have the privilege of insulting and beating soldiers, contradicting (not born by the caster) superiors, drinking and smoking prostitutes, and even beating each other in the barracks to find personal vendettas, as for whether and what kind of punishment will be received, it purely depends on the courage, ability, and determination of the superior, and of course, more importantly, your own family background, not military law.
However, he also knew very well that the army was a disciplined force after all, and no matter how unreliable it was, it would never tolerate "rebellion" and "mutiny." In fact, this is also the political bottom line that any country's military must abide by, unless the country has completely entered the stage of turmoil and the end of the world without the central government's decree.
Is the Federation now in the last days? Well, it's true that there are a lot of people who have been complaining about broken pot pills and the like...... But the problem is that most people, including the moths who have been digging the corners of the country day and night, feel that this broken pot can actually be rescued again.
β¦β¦ If his nephew was really convicted of this crime, he was really killed on the spot by little Belencaster, and there would be no reason to reason.
His Excellency the Chief of Staff is still in a daze, His Excellency Deputy Commander Eamon? Lieutenant General Wilambat had already hurried towards Lu Xi. At this time, it was the chief of staff who had always been full of a delicate smile, and it seemed that he was far less calm than before, his steps were very urgent, but when he was about to approach Lu Xi, he realized that this seemed to be a bit of a gaffe, and slowed down, and said in a voice that was not fast or slow, but very solemn and sincere: "Your Excellency, this ...... Captain Beran was still a child...... Ah no, it's still a young man, and it's easy to get hot-headed! However, he is also a sincere young man, loyal to the Alliance, to the country, to our Sky Rose Battle Banner, and to you! There will be absolutely no thought of rebellion! I can definitely prove it, even if it's swearing to the goddess of the sky in the name of magic! β
"Don't say that! I am a very dedicated civil servant and have never intended to be a warlord! Captain Beran is a national officer, and loyalty, of course, can only exist for the Union and the State! "Lu Xi thought to himself, you, the old fox of the laver family, want to dig a pit for me again, but I won't be fooled.
"Your Excellency, this is slander!" His Excellency the Chief of Staff finally reacted and strode to Lu Xi's side. Compared with Lieutenant General Aemon, who is very deep in the city, the young Rufit's words are naturally much more intense...... What's more, it was his nephew who was tied to the pillar.
Well, then again, look at this anxious and tearful look, is it really just a nephew? It won't be the kind of gossip setting of the Ouyang family, right? Although it is true that the age is a little younger...... However, it is normal for a noble family to be precocious. At the age of twelve, thirteen years old, it is more normal to mature, and then play some shameful games with my sister-in-law who is like a wolf.
No, it shouldn't be a game, it should be a very important practical education for the young brother-in-law by the sister-in-law. Some of the ** textbooks I have read before that are very artistic and culturally accomplished, all say so.
Lu Xi felt that his thoughts seemed to be a little too dirty, even if he treated the enemy like this, it seemed to be too much, so he shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression: "Rufit, my friend, I really don't want to make trouble in this field, but, again, military discipline is military discipline!" β
"He's just...... Ah no, Your Excellency, he contradicted and insulted the superiors, this is indeed a mistake! should be punished...... As for spilling food and beating the clerks...... "Is this a problem?" Even if you want to play on the topic, it's too much, right? Isn't it a normal reaction of a nobleman to punish an officer who was born into a nobleman who was not satisfied with the service of a flint battalion of civilians or even slaves?
In addition, it would be angry to provide the same rations as soldiers to officers born into the nobility, and to change it to any country, right? It doesn't matter if you want to show the virtue of "loving soldiers like children", and it doesn't matter if you provide soldiers with super luxurious meals with meat every day, three meals a day...... However, the standards between soldiers and officers cannot be the same, the standards of generals and ordinary officers cannot be the same, and the standards of spellcasters cannot be the same, otherwise how can the authority of superiors and subordinates be established? Such a simple thing, why don't you, a "prestigious" federal youth hero, understand?
"His reaction was indeed excessive, and it caused a lot of trouble to the Sui battalion and the division troops. I think Captain Beran should be willing to give three months' allowance and salary to the Legion, as well as ...... Well, these are the compensation for the soldiers who were injured because of a misunderstanding. "The chief of staff felt that this should be a very low profile.
"As for the rebellion, Your Excellency, this is definitely a misunderstanding! You can't treat a promising and capable young officer like this unfairly! β
The future is certain, after all, he is a "wealthy nobleman", as long as he does not die, he can at least be a general, and after retiring, he will become a congressman or something. As for the outstanding ability...... Well, the level of magic is quite average, and even Freda may not be able to deal with it, but it does have a certain cavalry combat and command ability, and it should be taught by someone at home.
β¦β¦ But so what?
"Kalia." Lu Xi casually called out a name.
Then, a drow elf dressed in a gray-black cloak and soft armor appeared silently beside everyone. How she showed up, how long she waited there, no one noticed at all.
The Drow Elf paid no attention to the gazes and frightened gazes of the people around him, and calmly took out a report and began to read it in an emotionless rod pronunciation: "On November 13, His Excellency the Commander's intention to appoint Major Valerius as Warden is still being discussed at the headquarters. Beran? Captain Keringles met with the cavalry commanders, Major Salad and Major Berigall, and asked them to lead their men to sign a joint letter protesting against the order. It has been determined that the riot in the cavalry wing that occurred on November 14 was the culprit! β
As soon as these two names came out, there was finally an uncontrollable commotion in the ranks of the soldiers. The expressions on the faces of the two officers were particularly wonderful, but before they could express any more fierce opinions, they were already stepped on the leg and fell limply on the spot. They were then dragged straight out of the ranks by the gendarmerie's big men.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Aemon was startled and wanted to say something, but he only heard two sounds of "brush" and "brush", the sword flashed, and the two major officers and the captain of the cavalry wing were beheaded on the spot.
"Hang my head on the flagpole of the main camp." Lu Xi's voice was flat and undulating.
"On 15 November, when Major Emin came for training as an instructor, Captain Keringles secretly instructed Lieutenant Baramo, the leader of the 1st Cavalry Wing, to provoke Major Emin for a fair duel, and to pay 500 gold milla as compensation."
"This is slander!" A big man of almost two meters began to shout loudly, jumped out of the ranks, and even directly drew his saber and prepared to resist the gendarme: "Moreover, and I ......"
And you just proposed to duel with Brother Aiming, and you were beaten by Lim on the side with a small fist so that you couldn't get out of bed for three days? Lu Xi sneered and winked.
So, the minotaur giant Humble smiled evilly, strode up to Lieutenant Baramo, who was a head shorter than him, and raised his tomahawk and swung it directly. It's as if it can cut through the mountains, and it directly splits the opponent's sword and upper body into a ball of minced flesh. Fragments of blood, bones, and blades splattered in all directions, directly into the queue, causing an almost boiling noise.
"I told you not to be so violent, cut into this kind of scum, how can you show the public?" Lu Xi looked at the puddle of flesh and blood expressionlessly, and complained expressionlessly.
"That, hehe, there's actually half of the head left. You can hang it up, probably ......" Bull showed a sincere expression, and lifted the half-pulled "piece of meat" from the flesh and blood, which was still relatively intact.
Some of the soldiers vomited, but the Drow continued as if nothing had happened around them: "On the 4th of December, Keringers hosted a banquet for all the officers of the cavalry wing, preparing to provoke a mutiny in the troops when Major Valerius officially came to take office. The list of these officers is as follows......"
Well, except for the three unlucky ones who have already been killed, the people on the list are now being whipped tied to the flagpole.
It was only by this time that everyone really realized that their commander had actually been premeditated for a long time.
"Is there anything else you're going to say? Your Excellency My Chief of Staff? Lu Xi looked at Rufit, whose face was like ashes? Keringles, smiled. Looking at the other party's appearance as if he was mourning, Lu Xi really had more and more Mr. Ouyang's sense of sight.
ββ¦β¦ I, I am no longer fit to continue to serve as Chief of Staff of the Fourth Army. He was like a completely deflated ball, and the whole person was completely defeated, and he said dejectedly: "...... I, I will submit my resignation to you, and to the military department. But, but, my nephew...... Captain Beran, he, he's still ......"
The other party was silent, his face full of pleading. Lu Xi thought to himself, it's good that you didn't say the line "he's still a child" for the second time, otherwise I would definitely slap it over.
"Resignation accepted." Lu Xi was not ready to talk to the other party anymore: "...... As for Belan? Captain Kringles, although I have the authority of the War Department and the Senate to execute any officer below the rank of general on the spot, I can spare him his life as a first-time offender and a member of the Kringles family. They were escorted back to China and handed over to the Supreme Military Judge Advocate General's Office. β
The chief of staff sighed faintly and looked at Lu Xi with a grateful face, but unfortunately, there was not even the slightest hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"Also, magistrate, why did you stop? I only said that he was temporarily exempted from the death penalty, but a hundred lashes and three months of service in the Sui battalion did not say that he was spared! β
The soldier in charge of the execution rounded his long whip and swung it hard, pulling down a bloody wound on the opponent's back, and the ferocity was even more ferocious than that of the ordinary officers before him. They were all gendarmes under the command of Colonel Grimmar, who was the judge of the general army, and they were actually angry with these cavalry officers during this time. Now, with Lu Xi's endorsement, he is naturally more energetic.
ββ¦β¦ Okay, is there anything else going on here? Lu Xi ignored the senior officers' silent appearance when they saw the Great Demon King, and greeted the deputy commander who was smiling quite awkwardly: "Then, Lieutenant General Wilambart, I'll leave it to you here, okay?" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, I understand, Your Excellency the Commander. He looked at Lu Xi deeply, and he didn't know how many thoughts had passed in his heart, but then, in less than a second, he once again regained his graceful and delicate smile, not like a soldier but more like a diplomat, and said lightly: "This is my duty." β
"Also, you can stay for the time being. Major Valerius, you are the Warden and the new Wing Captain, and it is your duty to speak. Lu Xi commanded again.
Well, this time, Lu Xi let his servant serve as the head of the legion, and there should be no more objections.
"But is it worth it?" When Lu Xi returned to his big tent, Sai Xiliu, who had already helped him sort out his desk and all the documents, and had made tea, asked like this: "Lu Xi, you are a power plotter!" β
"Well, Sehireu, you don't really think that I've done all this just for the position of a little warden, do you?" Lu Xi sat back in his chair, and then opened his two hands at the other party.
"It's a bit weird indeed...... Don't make a fuss! Sai Xiliu wanted to slap the other party's hand angrily, but he didn't succeed, and was hugged by Lu Xi and sat on his lap. She blushed and struggled as she looked out of the tent, for fear that an uninvited guest would come in and break in, but after resisting for half a minute, she finally sighed helplessly and stopped moving.
Even if she breaks through that layer of window paper, Miss Student Council President has always been the most reserved of the girls, and she will be teased from time to time, and she is still often arrogant. Lu Xi said that his favorite reaction is such a reaction, and only a good girl who can react like this will make office play interesting.
"If it were the usual you, should you be in Beran? When Kellingers wanted to move, he took him down with thunder, right? Why delay for more than a month, until nearly half of the officers of the cavalry wing have been involved, and then do it? So many officers have been purged, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry wing will not be restored for a while. Even if it is to frighten all the discordant voices within the legion, or to frighten the soldiers, is the price too heavy? β
"Because I never expected the combat effectiveness of the cavalry wing!" Lu Xi said in a natural tone: "Yes, I know, according to the federal military system, these cavalrymen who can ride flying beasts are all professional soldiers, and the legion infantry are all conscripts, cannon fodder and rabble. However, times have changed, and Sesilul, and the infantry will soon become the combat force of this legion. Shouldn't you have expected that? β
"I can't really turn a rabble into a fearless iron army in three months, but I must make them fear their officers and me before they fear the enemy. This urgently requires a leather whip, and it also needs the head of a superior person. What could be more intimidating than the head of a group of big men in a cavalry wing, who were peasants and burghers two months ago? β
"So, if possible, you'd rather borrow the caster's head for this item, right?" Sai Xiliu sighed, "Don't play with it, Lu Xi." It would be embarrassing to want a group of soldiers with high discipline and obedience, but to harvest a group of lambs who are submissive. β
"Even if it is a lamb, if it comes to a few victories, if it has drunk enough blood and eaten enough meat, it will become a lion. I never doubted that. β
"It's more than that, is it? You still want to take the opportunity to get Major General Rufit away, do you? β
Seeing that Lu Xi didn't answer, Sai Xiliu continued: "He...... Well, Lu Xi, I know you don't like people from the Gate Valve Sect, but Chief of Staff Rufite is actually quite a capable person, and his work during this period can be regarded as conscientious. You have just restored the establishment of the Sky Rose Legion, and you have used such means to drive out a chief of staff appointed by the central government, are you preparing to completely tear your face with the Gate Valve faction? β
"Oh, Sehiru, everything I do is within the scope of official business, where can it be regarded as tearing my face...... Ouch! Lu Xi's eyes widened and he began to pretend to be stupid, and then the student union president reached out angrily and twisted the soft flesh on his waist. Well, there are always many ways for girls to show their dissatisfaction. Blasts usually slap their hands on the head, Lim slashes the top of her head with a knife, Nicole kicks her calves with her little fists, Artoria stomps her feet and complains, and Karin goes straight to her fists...... And Seyleliu's approach turned out to be the most feminine.
"The Sawi and Baltato families have been completely purged, most of their core members have been imprisoned, and their property has been swallowed up and auctioned. I checked, and the bill of exchange for 2 million gold milla you gave me seems to have been sent by Dandelion's family, so this should be the result of the raid, right? Sehireu asked.
ββ¦β¦ The best way to make a windfall is, of course, robbery and raiding. Lu Xi spread his hands and said: "Without this money, where did I get the money to hand over to North Industries to expand production capacity, and there is no capital to supply meat to the soldiers of the legion every day." β
"However, this should be the biggest concession from the Gate Valve faction, right? If you continue to hold on, they won't be able to back down unconditionally. β
"I know! That's why I have to collect enough evidence that even if the sectarians are angry, they can't find any legal reason for the attack. Lu Xi said with a smile: "In addition, the deputy commander is still seaweed, no, people from the Wilambat family, there are several people in my officer corps who were born into families." I didn't tear my face, even if they wanted to get angry, it would take time to brew and tangle it. β
"Especially, at this critical juncture......" Lu Xi smiled and took out an envelope from the drawer of his desk and took out the letters inside. Of course, it was not so much a letter as a note, on which only one sentence was written: "On December 15, Master Rassell won and was about to be inaugurated as FΓΌhrer." β
