The "Eight Divisions" of the Empire were established as institutions of real power, and for later generations of players, this was only a means for the council to choose to take power from the six clans.

Whether it is the military department and the military department that are relatively close to the player, or the dark department and star department that rarely appear on the historical stage, at least the administrative level is the same.

Of course, even the Empire itself understands that the Eight Ministries are only a division of duties, and that what really matters is those who hold the key powers, not the departments themselves.

Lu Haiyi had already arrived on the planet Golo about ten days ago.

According to the agreement with Xu Jia, he did not contact the Source Clan again, and at the same time, he did not have the obvious intention of getting close to the Shadow Clan, but chose to live alone.

Of course, Lu Haiyi is still very concerned about the action of running for deputy military minister.

Not everyone in this world is an official fan, and they are full of power desires, but there are also very few people who avoid power like snakes and scorpions.

Lu Haiyi is not the kind of person who is bent on seeking officials, but the opportunity is in front of him, and there are people who are willing to help him, so he has no reason to pretend to be a posture.

What's more, Lu Haiyi himself did intend to enter the military department to lay out the future strategy of the empire in advance.

In many cases, the real factor that determines the outcome of a war is not on the battlefield, but before the war begins.

For example, both sides of the war foresee a war in a year's time, but one side thinks it will be a small fight, and the other side believes that there will be a full-scale war.

Then on the day when the real fight starts, if it is really a small fight, it is better to say, once a full-scale war starts, the former will undoubtedly suffer a big loss due to lack of preparation.

To put it bluntly, what the top brass of the military department does is not to fight head-on, that is what a general like Ah Yue should do, and what the military department does is something outside the battlefield.

Of course, the actual strategic layout is far from being so simple, and it is not just the expectation of war, but also depends on the layout of the two sides in various details.

Lu Haiyi believes that if he is in the military department, he dare not say that he can do everything, at least better than his opponent in this election.

At this stage, it is mostly clear who is running for which position.

Lu Haiyi's opponent was an elder of the Bai clan, who was originally one of the elders of the real power within the Bai clan, and this time the eight departments were established, and the Bai clan was forced to hand over a lot of power.

Pushing this clan elder to the position of deputy minister of the military department was originally a tacit matter for everyone, and it could be regarded as an exchange and compensation, so no one competed with him.

But in fact, everyone knows that although this clan elder also has some combat experience, he himself is not a martial artist, and he is not familiar with the combat of the warrior legion, and it is actually incompetent to enter the military department.

However, politics is the art of mutual compromise, and many things are not unaware of problems, but there is no better solution, and that is the only way to go.

Until Lu Haiyi was "born"...... Well, he was originally considered a celebrity of Ace Hall, and it can't be said that he was born out of nowhere, and it is more appropriate to say that he has returned.

But Lu Haiyi was originally just an idler of the Yuan Clan, and he also held some positions in the subordinate bodies of the parliament, but he soon stepped down, in the final analysis, because there was no backstage.

The Yuan clan is the more conservative of the six clans, and they prefer Lu Haiyi to stay in the clan rather than enter the council.

This time, knowing that the Eight Divisions were about to be established, everyone was trying to grab the position, but the Source Clan ran to Stannei Star in advance, which was also based on this idea.

Rather than competing for power with everyone, the Yuan Clan would prefer to have their own one-third of an acre of land.

Lu Haiyi couldn't get the help of the Yuan clan, he didn't have any backstage, he couldn't be qualified to participate in the election, and the ability to take the position was just talking.

In fact, the system of selecting officials has always been to select as many capable people as possible among those who are qualified to be candidates.

But when he came back this time, it was different, the Wasteland Star Golden Tower and Xu Jia became his backing, and the Shadow Clan became his help, and he was immediately promoted to the position of candidate.

In the Shadow Clan's residence, Xu Jia was sitting leisurely in a small bar, and in front of him was a young girl twisting the foot of a wine glass with two fingers, and a flame was rising in the palm of her hand.

The flame slowly ascended the glass glass, and finally submerged into the glass, forming a dark red liquid that danced slowly in the glass, as if it were alive.

The girl then gently put the wine glass in front of Xu Jia and chuckled, "Taste it." ”

Xu Jia was not polite, he reached out and took the wine glass, if an outsider saw this scene, he would definitely be surprised, because this girl was His Royal Highness Filia of the Shadow Clan.

In Xu Jia's previous life in the game, he didn't have much contact with Filia, and he didn't know much about her life, so he was just an ordinary NPC.

In this life, because of the cooperation, the two have a lot of intersections, and I know that the eldest princess also has a peculiar hobby - she likes to mix wine.

Probably having a hobby of drinking since childhood, Her Royal Highness Filia has always had a soft spot for all kinds of alcoholic beverages, but as she gets older, her hobby becomes less expressive.

Later, she simply took control of her hobby, gradually shifted her interest to bartending, and opened a small bar in private, which had just moved from Eschoor to Golo.

Of course, this bar is not open to the public, and Filia has no interest in "micro-service private interviews", pretending to be a bartender girl to experience life.

Her purpose in opening this bar, in addition to satisfying her hobby, is to occasionally bring a few friends to chat.

It's just that as Filia's status in the Shadow Clan is getting higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer friends around her who are qualified to come here, and after coming to Golo, this small bar is "open" for the first time.

Filia looked at Xu Jia with a smile, but most of her eyes remained on the wine glass in his hand, and her eyes were a little confused.

It can be seen that she doesn't really care much about Xu Jia's evaluation, but cares about her own craftsmanship itself.

Xu Jia looked at the wine glass in his hand for a long time, and finally put it in front of him and took a sip, and the flame in the cup jumped into his mouth like a living thing.

The warm sensation slid down Xu Jia's throat, and before it could reach his stomach, it was completely washed away by the internal breath circuit that automatically circulated.

This means that the magic contained in the flames is not as high as the quality of his own inner breath.

So Xu Jia thought for a while and said, "At most, it's six orders, when you can compress the external magic power to a high level, you can probably have a little taste." ”

Filia couldn't help but roll her eyes, sat down to the side and said, "You warriors are so boring...... The Bai clan should probably be unbearable in the past two days, aren't you going to stare at them?"

"Can they still kill Lu Haiyi?" Xu Jia said with a smile, "I'll wait for them to strike first." ”
