"Captain Noles Pakat, Lieutenant Lil Wolfgang Alkerstein," Cecilia's guards called out their names in the same manner as when their superiors summoned their subordinates in ancient times: "Your Excellency the General summons, please prepare as soon as possible." ”

Lear and Norles are now in an office in Granada, once the office of the commander of the Fifth Fleet, which has been grandly occupied by Cecilia and has become her new residence on the moon.

Lear and Nolles stood up and walked towards Gisilia's office, and when they reached the door of Cecilia's office, Nolles stepped forward and nodded to the Ministry of Internal Affairs guard at the door.

The guard bowed slightly in respect, then picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered a few words, and after a few minutes he said, "You can go in, the general is waiting for you." ”

"Thank you." With that, the two of them walked into Cecilia's office.

It was an office, but it actually took up most of the top floor of the building, and in addition to the winding road, there were a large number of small offices, including the offices of Cecilia's secretary, intelligence officer, and other staff.

At the end of the day, Lear and Nolles didn't go straight in, because one of Gisilia's secretaries stopped them, and he gestured to Lear and the two, and through the one-way glass of Cecilia's office, they could see that there were other people in the office.

Lear casually asked, "Is there anyone in General Cesilia's office?" ”

"Yes," Cecilia's secretary was clearly aware of Lear's identity, and although he was only a minor lieutenant, the other identity was enough for the little secretary to properly reveal some small information: "The commander of the second task force reports to His Excellency the Admiral. ”

"Task Force 2?" It's another name I've never heard of, and it should be said that the Zeon Wehrmacht didn't have such an organization as a task force, and a few months ago, the Zeon Army had only one space fleet.

Although it is acceptable to set up some temporary establishments according to needs, I feel that the establishment of various levels of the Assault Mobile Force is already somewhat chaotic.

It's no wonder, after all, Cecilia is not a powerful and qualified general like Dozru, although because of Kilian's interference, she snatched a large part of the army from Dozru, but being appointed as the head of the army and becoming the head of the army are two different concepts, she must promote a large number of middle and lower-level officers, and install cronies in the army to ensure her control of this army.

After all, the Zeon Army is not actually a regular army, but a warlord army composed of militia and private soldiers of the Zabi family, composed of various generals and leaders.

"It's a new detachment," the secretary added, "and I've gone on a mission to pursue the Fifth Fleet, having just returned to Granada from von Brown." ”

"Well, I see," Lear nodded, "Thank you." ”

"It's nothing, that's what I'm supposed to do, Master Alkestein," the secretary didn't call Lear's rank, but instead used another title, "If you don't dislike it, please take this." ”

Lear took it and looked at it, but it was the other party's business card.

"If you need anything, please feel free to contact me." He said with a smile, although it was a gesture of goodwill, but he was not overly flattering, but just right to show his value and enthusiasm.

"Okay, I'll take it," Lear nodded and said, "I'll remember you." ”

This is not to say that the other party wants to betray Cecilia or take refuge or anything like that, but in Zeon to take the path of politics, it is always right to have a good relationship with the major families, this secretary, as a confidant of Cecilia, can sometimes provide unexpected help within his authority, and he shows kindness at the moment just to make his own path better.

Of course, Lear didn't actually promise anything, and the extent to which the two sides can cooperate naturally depends on the specific situation, what the other side can provide, and what Alkerstein seeks.

It's just a transaction, even if Cecilia knows, she won't say anything, this is the unspoken rule of Zeon's high society, using power to provide convenience, and as a member of the Zabi family at the top of the pyramid, Cesilia has a certain detachment, as long as she doesn't cross the bottom line, Cecilia will pretend not to know.

At this moment, the door to Cecilia's office opened, and someone walked out of it, and Lear saw that it was an acquaintance, who was none other than the former chief instructor of the command department of the Zeon Higher Non-commissioned Officer Military Academy, and the representative of the Non-commissioned Officer Military Academy Study Group of the Philosophical Self-Study Society, Ryan Stein.

Lear frowned, but stood up and saluted with Noles: "Colonel! ”

Reinstein apparently saw Lear as well, and his face was expressionless, but Lear, who was more familiar with him, could spot the surprise in his eyes.

He nodded to the two of them, didn't return the salute, and walked straight away.

They can't show a close relationship, Ryan Stein's hometown is pro-Zabi, and now Jisilia is trying to make their family a little more subdivided, and become a pro-Zabi Jicilia line, so his relationship with Lear shouldn't be good, so it's easier to accept just the right amount of coldness.

"Come in, Captain Packat, Lieutenant Alkerstein." Cecilia in the room noticed the two of them and spoke.

After entering Cesilia's office, the two were about to salute, but were interrupted by Cesilia: "Okay, there is no need to say anything superfluous." ”

"Yes, General Cesilia."

After saying that, Norles took out the report, respectfully handed it to Cecilia, and then began to report.

During the debriefing, Nolles took a step forward, and Lear stood behind him.

In general, the content is to report on the special fleet's previous pursuit of the Fourth Mobile Fleet, and later the cooperation with the Space Attack Force to participate in the L5 clearance operation, in fact, these situations have already been compiled into a briefing and transmitted to the direction of the moon in real time, and now it is just a formality.

Losses, battle results, some scene clichés, Noles's report was quickly over, Cecilia nodded, and said with satisfaction: "You have done a good job, and you have not lost the face of our assault mobile army." ”

"I won't say much more than any superfluous compliment," said Cecilia, "and I agree to the addition of the Einsatzgruppen Fleet, and I will give you the best soldiers, and I hope they will perform well under your command." ”

"Thank you very much, General, we are indeed in dire need of reinforcements."

"It's nothing, it's my job to assign soldiers to the right people," said Cecilia, "Captain Pakkat, your performance has perfectly responded to the expectations of your country. ”

"Therefore, the Military Command Department has entrusted me to convey to you," Cecilia said with a smile, "You have been promoted once, Major Pakat . ”

"Thank you for your trust, General." Nolles said respectfully, although Lear couldn't see his expression, he didn't seem surprised, and Lear understood the reason when he thought about it.

Nolles's promotion may have been at the same time as Lear's, but they were still in L5 at the time, and Lear was okay to say that he was only a deputy after all, and his rank was only a lieutenant, so he just had to register and change his rank.

But Nolles is going to be promoted to the rank of colonel, and he is the commander of the Einsatzgruppen fleet, considering that the Einsatzgruppen fleet belongs to the Assault Mobile Army, Nolles' promotion can't be done with a simple notice, which would be too disrespectful, but it can't be promoted by Dozru, which will cause 。。。。。。 Affiliation, loyalty, trust, and betrayal were inconvenienced, so they postponed it for a few days, and waited until they arrived on the moon before being officially informed by Cesilia.

"It's not just mine, but His Majesty's expectations." Cecilia nodded.

But there is no mention of the de facto leader of the Zeon Defence Forces, Kilian Zabi.

"And you, Lieutenant Alkstein, your command is also excellent," said Cecilia, "the report submitted to me especially mentions your outstanding performance, and indeed it is worthy of the Alxstein family, I have asked you to personally write a letter of thanks to your father, thank him for training such an outstanding soldier, and I have the media produce a special program about your deeds, I hope you don't mind." ”

"Where, this is what I can't ask for, Your Excellency," Lear said, standing up straight, "and I am sorry for my mislove, and I will certainly live up to your expectations in the future." ”

"That's good," said Cecilia, nodding her head in satisfaction, "There's another thing I'd like to ask you for." ”

"The MoveFleet will be disbanded after this war, and I want to know your respective intentions."

"Do you want to join the Space Assault Force, or stay in the Mobile Assault Force?"

Lear and Norles froze, they didn't expect Cecilia to ask the question on this occasion, so they were a little caught off guard for a short time.

The disbandment of the Einsatzgruppen Fleet was actually expected, and although it was part of the Assault Mobile Force, Cecilia really did not have a particularly strong binding force on this force.

Because of the need to pursue the task of the Fourth Fleet, it had a relatively high degree of independence when it was formed, and now that this task has been completed, the need for the existence of the special fleet naturally does not exist.

And later, the Eingruppen fleet had a common mission with Dozru's Space Attack Army, out of appreciation for the fact that this combat experience is one of the best elites in the current Zeon Army, Dozru also revealed his intention to eat this army, but the number of Gisilia's troops was originally at a disadvantage, and the number of the Eingruppen Fleet was not large, but as previously said, this unit is currently one of the best elites in the Zeon Army, and Gesilia will not sit idly by and watch it be annexed by Dozru.

For various reasons, it is impossible for the special fleet to continue to exist, and it is a matter of course to disband after this battle, but in this way, a question arises, that is, what happens to the personnel of this unit after the disbandment.

Ordinary soldiers don't mention it, they can only obey orders, and there is no room to question the allocation, but people with special identities like Lear, Nolles, and Matsunaga are very important.

To put it simply, this is a line, and the few people involved in it do not only represent themselves, but also represent the family behind them.

Alkerstein's only sister-in-law.

Chief retainer of Sakhalin.

Matsunaga's eldest son.

Ironically, the most important decisive factor in arranging their positions in the military has nothing to do with their military status.

No matter what Matsunaga really thinks, he is a member of the Matsunaga family, and the Matsunaga family is subdivided into the Kilian line in the pro-Zabi faction, and his family's position determines that it is impossible for him to go to the command of Jessilea, and there may be this reason why Dozru ordered him to be transferred to the Cosmic Attack Army, not only because Dozru himself admires Matsunaga very much, but also because Dozru cannot let Matsunaga enter the Assault Mobile Army.

No, I'm afraid Dozru doesn't care too much about this, he doesn't understand it at all, but deliberately keeps himself from understanding so much, which is probably what Kilian meant.

On the other hand, Cecilia should be able to get Jonny Lydon as an add-on.

That's right, it's better than nothing, this has nothing to do with Jonny's own talent, he is the son of the councilor's family, although compared to the identities of several other people, the identity of this councillor is simply insignificant, but no matter how small the fly is, it is also meat, and Jisilia, who urgently needs to expand her strength territory, will probably be happy to receive this gift, because of Jonny's transfer, his father may also become the Jicilia faction, which is the sweetness that Gilian gave to Jicilia.

Of the two, Jonny's opinion doesn't matter, because his family doesn't matter, and Matsunaga is naturally on the side of Dozru and Kilian, so Matsunaga's camp is certain from the beginning, but Lear and Nolles are different from them.

Alkstein and Sakhalin do not have obvious camp tendencies, needless to say, Alkstein is not even pro-Zabi, and although Sakhalin is pro-Zabi, he has no intention of being particularly close to a certain member of the Zabi family - this may have something to do with the current head of the Sakhalin family, Ginhas, who has a strange personality and is full of desire to prove Sakhalin with his talent and prove that his own guy above Alkstein is in charge, Sakhalin's external reaction is obviously much slower.

And these two are very important, although Zeon is now engaged in the nationalization of the military industry, but they still need the support of two such military industrial families, especially in the war, and at some point in the future, military power is always the last trump card, so that the sum is enough to occupy six percent of the Zeon military industry two (the ratio of the two is about 2:1), although it is only a military industry, the overall strength of the family is not as comprehensive as Matsunaga's family, but its importance can be called pivotal.

At this moment, Cecilia is asking them to take sides, whether to stand on the side of Gilian, or on the side of Cecilia - to be precise, the importance of Cecilia is not enough now, it should be on the side of the Duke of Deggin behind her?

Lear, Alkerstein's sister-in-law, not to mention, Nores's weight is also very important, although he is a retainer, but as the chief retainer Noles can largely represent Sakhalin's attitude, the Sakhalin family is now in an unprecedented period of decline, the family is left with two siblings, Gignas and Aina, Genyas is still a person who is not suitable to be the head of the family at all, and now Sakhalin's actual power, including the operation and management of the family business, and even the command of the private army, All in the hands of the Sakhalin retainers, headed by Noles.

Frankly speaking, if it weren't for the loyalty of the chief retainer Nores, the retainers would have eaten the lord completely.

Lear's heart couldn't help beating a few beats faster, but he didn't speak, he knew that he couldn't take his position lightly at this time.

"You are all the best officers of Zeon, and if you are willing to stay in the Assault Mobile Force, I promise that I will never treat you badly," Cecilia said with a smirk, "Colonel, this is the highest rank that can be given to you within my authority, and my detachment can also be placed under your command, as long as you follow my own orders." ”

"Of course, Lieutenant Alkerstein, you may have to wait a bit, after all, you have just been promoted, and it is not good to skip a grade all of a sudden, but I promise you that in a year I will make you a colonel, and you may even become the youngest general in the history of Zeon, who knows."

She threw her chips at the two of them.

I should have thought of it, and Lear couldn't help but regret a little, this is the same bargaining chip for the Reinstein family!

This is not a simple courtship and overture, the Ryan Stein family has completely fallen to Cecilia!

He couldn't help but feel ashamed of his negligence, and realized the importance of Maggie again, he really had a lot to do, and someone had to be by his side to remind him, if Margie had known about Reinstein's affairs, she might have noticed something wrong at a glance, because she was originally specially prepared by her father for Lear, and she was more closely connected than his wife's 'heart', and she had learned this aspect of the content.

For the children of wealthy families, his wife is just a pillow person, most of them are married to other families, even rival families, and the heart is the person that Lear can fully trust, in a sense, not even his shadow, but half of his body.

Maggie should have been raised to be obedient to Lear, instead of being able to think independently and even question their master, and of course they can't fall in love with their master, because love can blind people, and may even make them hostile to the main room, or even want to replace it.

The reason why it has become the way it is now can only be said that Lear doesn't care about the identity of the master at all, and the way he and Maggie get along with each other is more like a brother and sister than a master and servant, and at the same time, Alxstein is just a family of a generation, and he has no experience in cultivating this kind of henchman, and old Hans is not too demanding of both reasons.

Straight to the point.

This is exactly the bargaining chip that Cecilia has proposed, and by joining her side, she can get the power that all of Zeon's family can only dream of.

Military power, independent military power.

With military power, the private troops of these families can become the Wehrmacht in the open, and the benefits contained in it are exciting, not only can they expand their own force, but also can participate in the smuggling trade in the name of the Wehrmacht (previously it was also roughly explained that as the largest industrial production area in the earth's sphere, Zeon's smuggling trade is coveted, and a part of the share of household appliances alone can support the existence of the Zeonnic and Bist consortiums), and they may even get land!

ON THOSE CONQUERED SIDES, AS LONG AS THE WEHRMACHT USES THEM AS A BASE FOR A DETACHMENT, IT IS DE FACTO FAMILY TERRITORY!

In the past, when the Zabi family held military power, the various families never had such a good opportunity to meddle in the army, let alone such favorable conditions.

"I believe that no one else can give better treatment than this." Cecilia smiled confidently.
