Revised Edition Volume 15 Flying in the Flames Chapter 1 Behind the Scenes
In mid-October '73, just before the election battle was about to begin, I opened an interstellar army training school called "Jiangwutang" in Huludao, at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, and selected 300 outstanding top-notch men from the army for intensive teaching and training. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ The senior cadres of the Nandu Military Region were very surprised when they heard that I had really done what I said at the meeting that day.
I have so few people to call up, and I pay transfer fees, and I have something to do, so I have a lot less chance of getting them in trouble. So they did this for me quickly and well, and it only took two weeks to select someone for me and send it to me, and finished repairing the original sealed barracks on Hulu Island, and sent my old man's home to the northeast almost three times and nine times. At this time, I suddenly had the same feeling as when Hongxiang left the north.
The reason why I only recruited such a small number of people is that I also have a last resort. After I set out, Shizuki continued to run her swordsman camp on the main planet. Although the battalion was successfully expanded into a regiment, in fact it did not reach that kind of structure, and only two and a half battalions were built. In the past three years, she only added one and a half battalions of about 1,000 people, and the biggest difficulty was that the specifications of the Demon Armor and the High Vibration Particle Knife were too high, the manufacturing process was particularly complicated, and the yield was extremely low. At the end of the day, there are two issues, one is the output and the other is the cost. These two issues are entangled, and although Jingwei has my handwritten warrant and is much more efficient than the average person, she still can't get the kind of financial support that can bankrupt any country to increase production and reduce costs.
It is difficult for anyone who has never run a military business to imagine such a scenario. In fact, anyone who is in charge of the finances of a large family of more than 10 people will feel that any income divided by 10 will become insignificant, and any expenditure multiplied by 10 will cause a headache for the housekeeper. There are many conditions for forming an army that is capable of fighting, but the most fundamental one is that there must be people. The number of people can be minimized by the advanced technical equipment, but in any case not less than necessary. When the GDI of Nandu was suppressed that year, the swordsman battalion swept the streets of Nandu at first, and it could be described as invincible. However, when cleaning the headquarters building, it reached a stalemate due to the lack of personnel, and in the end, it had to rely on the crowd tactics of heavily armed soldiers who were much worse equipped than them.
As for the forces required to attack a super-large planet like Nebuchu, it seems to me that millions should be considered in the basic unit. And now the Simba army that landed in Nebuchu is only 30,000 people, and the swordsman regiment that can confront Feria head-on is only as many as Jingwei has brought, at best 1,500 people. We can imagine fifteen hundred Juggernauts winning one, ten, or even hundreds of local battles or skirmishes, but it is absolutely impossible to expect that such a small number of people can conquer Nebuchu. In my opinion, if those people can hold a large area as large as my hometown of North Sichuan Prefecture for a long time, it can be regarded as a super-level performance. However, any sane person understands that it is impossible to expect anyone to consistently perform at a higher level in a war that spans so long in time, in such a wide range of space and scale.
In the past three years, there has been no breakthrough in the research of the Demon Armor and the Micro High Vibration Particle Knife. Although the performance has been slightly improved, the cost has also risen. On the night when I started planning the martial arts hall, when I saw the cost table left by Jing Wei, my heart was half cold: the Demon Armor Enhanced II version is more expensive than the first version, 1.87 million sets; The 1.2-meter-long Muramasa high-vibration particle knife plus version is 2.26 million sets. The purchase price of the whole batch can be slightly cheaper, four million sets.
Originally, I planned to set up the lecture hall on Hainan Island, recruit 5,000 people, and build a super-large interstellar army training base. But after calculating the account, it turned out to be 20 billion, which is worth half of the Naito version of the modern class, and no one can afford such a large sum of money at this moment.
"The three major generals are now serving as the main rulers of the three major countries of the main star, but they only need so much money to build such a small fishing village-level training base, don't you feel depressed?"
It was Basque Ice who said this. If anyone other than him had said this, even a petty thief, I would have suspected that it was a malicious instigation, but Basque Bing must have said this unintentionally. I gave him a blank look and said, "You think 600 million is less?" Ask your uncle Gui Dacai for one, try to see if you can get it? β
Gui Lao Traitor has developed over the years to rival the country, and the style of those who gave up a little money to set up relationships with Corporal Lixian has long been gone with the wind, and the reputation of recognizing money but not people has become known all over the world with the rapid expansion of his business scope. If he were to continue his fortune in the space fleet, even Feria would know his name. mentioned this pot of unopened tea, and the fat man's momentum suddenly became half a cut shorter, but he continued to gossip: "It's not that meaning, it's just that I don't think they are authentic." is in a suspicious place, but I still have to say: Han Han is good to you, he gave 300 million and is still engaged in the great publicity work of the space fleet achievements in Heguo. For this, she has been attacked by many old forces of the country. Look at Titus, he gave 100 million, and didn't say a word of good things about the rest. Tan Kang is not a good bird either. Talking nonsense and asking for money......"
I shook my head and said, "It's no wonder that their abilities are limited, Tan Kang's qualifications are too shallow, and he has never been able to fully control the southern capital, and there are shadows of powerful conservative forces behind Titus and Han Han." It's too difficult for them to find a gap and get some free space. So I don't have any faith in this so-called 'democratic reform'. β
"Hmph, in the past three years, I have been angry with Tan Kang a lot!" Basque Bing grumbled: "Even if you take me with ulterior motives, I still have to say - that guy is really in front of me and behind my back." The election is coming, and he doesn't even come to talk to you about it, where does he want to put your place? β
I smiled lightly and said, "He's nothing, don't think too much about him." Han Han is a capable person, but his brain is a little dead. Hojo Kamakura shook her up for a while with some concepts of righteousness, and she believed it. In fact, she is not so stupid, she just wants to take that opportunity to realize her ideals. Compared to her, Titus was much more terrifying. β
The fat man shook his head and sighed, "I don't know why Titus changed like that. β
"The cause is the same as the cold, and it has been favored by Hojo, Kamakura, and the old powers in Europe. But his idea is much more complicated. He's a guy who is my type. I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I think someone will come and make an offer to me soon, and they haven't had the guts to put me out completely." I think mostly about Titus and Hanhan, and old Adams is a lifelong enemy, so it goes without saying. Tan Kang, that guy doesn't have a deep-rooted foundation of old forces, the only powerful backstage is me, and there are dangers around him, what can he do? After a few years of classmates, I got to know him well. Pampered, ambitious and talented, just a waste of wood. β
"You're underestimating him, aren't you?"
"No matter how the world changes, waste wood will always be waste wood." I made up my mind about Tan Kang.
When I was making a big deal about Tan Kang in Huludao, he was submitting the "Normalization of Relations with the Other World" at the GDI Global Federation. According to the pre-agreed procedure, the GDI is about to completely withdraw from the political arena after the current "real democratic elections", and even hand over military power, completely powerless, and can be completely abandoned at any time. However, the problems left over from the past are still only solved by the GDI, and once such a solution is put into law, it is only natural that it will affect the world of "true full democracy" in a few months, perhaps for months, or almost forever, like the unreasonable "Samsung Native Law".
Therefore, at this meeting, which was a routine and of no importance, the proposal caused an uproar as soon as it was introduced, and the cold support caused chaos in the GDI Global Federation. Old Adams tried his best to assert his authority, but after seeing the sneer of Titus in the seat next to him, he resolutely decided to adjourn the meeting. Tan Kang did not object - according to the GDI tradition, any important decision should not be made at the meeting, but should be brewed behind the scenes. What's more, this matter is just my insistence and request, and it has nothing to do with his vital interests.
This move had the desired effect. Early the next morning, two uninvited guests came to Huludao. One is Adams' envoy Stuart, and the other is an old acquaintance, Kamei Shou. These two people come from different corners of the globe, but they arrive at the same place at the same time for the same goal.
To be honest, I was a little embarrassed to see Kamei Shou, so after sitting down, I greeted him first: "How are you doing?" β
Although Kamei Shou came to be a lobbyist, he obviously showed that he remembered his hatred back then, and replied coldly: "It's okay." β
Seeing that his face was like frost, I secretly sweated, and said with a haha: "The chief of Ming Hai Haozhi is not in good health, Shoushou, you have presided over the work of the country for many years, and it is really hard work." Finally, Chief Narumi drove west, but there were such details as 'democratic elections', and in the end, he was surpassed by Naito in the democratic election, which really makes me feel a little sorry for you. β
"Why are you laughing?" Kamei Shou snorted and said, "Everyone knows what the first two 'democratic elections' were, but how can Your Excellency not know the relationship between my loss of power and Your Excellency's rebellion?" β
I had to continue to play haha, saying, "Right and wrong, success or failure, we have to look forward, look forward, haha." β
"Both of them are people who know the general situation, so naturally they won't dwell on these old grievances. There is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and this time I came to this time, I really have a heavy responsibility. The relationship between good and evil, the living beings in the world, cannot be neglected. Stillt finally found an opportunity to interject, and intentionally or unintentionally opened his suit under the strong wind on the Huludao beach in October, revealing a corner of the Roman Order logo on the chest of his shirt. He did this deliberately, and deliberately held it for a few seconds, until he was sure that I could see the sign clearly, and then continued: "Forgive me for being rudeβSpeaking of which, His Excellency Adams and His Excellency the Pope share the same concern: I don't know why Your Excellency has the idea of colluding with the other world when he first returns to the old land? β
I rolled my eyes and said, "What is your intention to button my big hat as soon as you come?" β
"The villain is of a humble position, and he really dare not slander Your Excellency. However, you should also exercise self-respect and refrain from making suspicious moves. β
"What am I going to do, what should I do, why do you need a knight apologists of the Roman Order, Adams's errand runner to decide for me?" I stood up, "Then again, there was a bastard of the Roman Order on Leilondo who wanted to kill me. That account hasn't been counted yetβwhere was the hero of the protector back then? β
Basque Bing had been prepared as early as when the two of them came to the island, and as soon as he heard my call, he immediately shouted, "The last general!" Then he rushed into the reception room with five or six soldiers, three around one, all glaring at the two lobbyists menacingly, and pressing their hands on the hilt of their knives to make a gesture of preparation.
I waved my hand and shouted, "Close the door and let the dogs go!" Together, they reached out and pinned Stuart to the ground as easily as chickens, and placed three high-vibration particle knives around his neck. These guys of the Roman Order are not good things, and some of them are worse than the people in the heavenly and spiritual realms in terms of using evil methods, but they call themselves messengers of justice one by one. But most of their spells take time to prepare, and it's really impossible to cast them in a situation like mine where they do it without foreplay. In fact, most of their skills in hand-to-hand combat are not bad, but they are completely equivalent to zero after being reduced by the super defense power of the demon armor. When I met these invulnerable legendary soldiers in this cramped reception room, I could only stare at them and catch them.
Stuart was taken down and shouted, "Damn fellow, dare to treat the Holy Order knight like this, let me go!" The screams were arrogant and the struggle was fierce, but he immediately slapped Basque Bing on the head with a sky-breaking hammer, and suddenly he couldn't scream again.
"These guys have always been bullish, and they want to come and have their activities in the country. Shoushou, you don't have to hide it, I know you can't get used to him, so you don't need to speak, take the initiative to help you teach him a lesson, you don't have to thank me. I ignored the movement on Steult's side, and put the big hat of the boss behind the scenes who cleaned up Stelt on Kamei's head, and regardless of whether the two parties would agree, I asked myself: "I have only been recruited for a week of training, do you know why I can capture this person so easily?" β
Kamei Shou's face was already a little bad at this time, and he reluctantly said: "Your Excellency doesn't know, Xiaguan has always been a civil official who is engaged in administrative work, how can you know about this kind of thing." β
"You should understand, Shoushou." I laughed: "By strength!" It would take at least fifteen years for the Roman Order to train him, and the investment in him was about two million, excluding the necessary expenses for living and basic education. β
"It can't be that much, right?" Kamei Shou said in surprise: "The Roman Order is not a rich consortium, where is so much money? β
"There's a shady scene. It's vulgar to say this, and you're not new to politics -- even if you don't know it, I don't know much about it, but the shady scene does exist. I smiled slightly: "So this kind of high-grade finished dog leg is still rare, and it is no problem to meet an ordinary ace army soldier in a normal state, and it is no problem to be a hundred." But Shoushou, although these soldiers of mine have only been recruited for special training for a week, the equipment on each of them is worth four million. Three greet him to one, that is, 12 million to play him 2 million, do you think he has a chance to win? β
This statement is too hooliganistic and absolutistic, and Kamei Shou's unconvinced expression is written on his face. But he also has three soldiers and three unsheathed Muramasa swords behind him, and this kind of person, who has been immersed in the political arena for decades, will naturally understand the basic principle of judging the situation and sizing up the situation, and hurriedly said: "I see, what Your Excellency said. β
"Since you agree with me, we still have something to talk about. As for this little white mouse, drag it down, so as not to be an eyesore. "I instructed the Basque Ice men to drag Stuart down, but three more soldiers were summoned, and the number of people behind Kamei Shou increased instead of decreasing, and the total value of the deterrent equipment behind him skyrocketed, reaching 36 million.
With nine knives behind him, Kamei Shou broke free from the limitations of a politician and became a straightforward person. He said directly: "Your Excellency Huang, your opinion is too relevant and difficult for both GDI and beyond. Communicate with the other world! It's too big an impact on the future direction of the whole world, and this kind of thing should be actively discussed with the organization before it is raised, you know. β
I snorted, "Even if you don't give me the opportunity to be promoted to the Standing Committee of the Supreme Council of the GDI Global Federation, and only let me be a member of the Central Committee at the bottom of the position, I can still be regarded as one of the top leaders of the organization, right?" β
"That is, of course, no one dares to deny your great achievements and high status." Kamei Shou took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said, "I'll make it clear." This visit was at the behest of Hojo Kamakura. The old man was shocked by your thoughts, and said that he must find out your true motives, and gave advice to you, hoping that you must give up such ridiculous ideas. In terms of feelings......"
I interrupted him impatiently and said, "You have your reasons, and I have my morals." They all put out to chat, and they can't finish it for three days and four nights. It's simpler for everyone. Don't beat around the bush, offer, offer. β
"According to the provisions of this democratic election, His Excellency Huang He can only run in Huaxia District. It was not easy to conceive these provisions, and it took many consultations and compromises between the old and new forces. Since it's finally settled, it's better not to change it easily. Judging from the current situation, it is not difficult for you to run for parliament, but the prime minister is ...... To be honest, when we were to be a deputy, we all felt that we couldn't explain it, but there were real difficulties......"
"I'm not interested in that." I bared my teeth and smiled, "I'm not poor enough to grab porridge from Tan Kang. Besides, what if he becomes the prime minister of China? Am I lower than this? β
"This situation, the lower officials also understand." Kamei Shou dodged and said: "Your Excellency has any request, even if you put forward, I can be the best master, and if I can't be the master, try to win support from Hojo Kamakura......"
I nodded and said, "It's easy to say, the Space Army has been fighting abroad for many years, and I have also been on the battlefield in person, not avoiding arrows and stones, shedding blood, sweat and tears, and all that I can shed for the just cause of mankind is almost done." If it was still when he was a soldier, he would have taken a lot of the Nebuchu Medal or something---Hojo-sama can't not say anything about it, right? β
The conversation with Kamei Shou was fast and good under the protection of the nine knives. Before noon, he took a special plane back to Heguo to make an offer. I don't expect Hojo to say yes, or to be provoked to give me a chance. How can this kind of cultivation of a person who has secretly manipulated the world for decades be subverted by one or two lions' big mouths? However, my asking price is quite harsh:
First, the founding of the country
2. Opening
3. Collection of donations
The first condition is to give me the provincial-level administrative division of Samsung to form a country; The concept of the second conditional opening is very simple, it is stipulated in the general chapter of the GDI revised in the thirties, and I revered and dreamed of opening a curtain when I was still a teenager; The third condition is that in order to continue to develop large-scale operations, it is not enough to have the income of Samsung, and it is necessary to establish a system in which the finances of various countries will provide regular transfer payments to China.
Kamei Shou went back to report two days and came back, and the counteroffer was:
1. It is impossible to open the country, because I am an earthly person, and I am involved in all kinds of laws and disagreements set by Samsung in the first two years;
2. It is not possible to open the ceremony, because this rule was in fact repealed before the marshal, and although it was not expressly written, it was long ago tacitly denied the award of this honor. Although my merit is high, it is not as high as Overmars, so don't dream of a thousand years before it's too late;
Third, when it comes to collecting donations, the countries do not have so much surplus financial resources, and the people of the countries in the late 60s and early 70s were too hard to build a space army, and it is time to recuperate. A one-time sponsorship of hundreds of millions or billions can be considered, but a long-term mechanism is definitely not possible.
I opened three big mouths, and Hojo Masashi threw three bags of cement to block it, and he didn't agree to any of them! Fortunately, I was ready for a long fight with him, and I was not annoyed. When even wrote a reply letter to him, it means: Samsung must open the country, that is as a concrete measure to pay attention to the front line. I can avoid being the prime minister, but I guess you can't find a three-star person who dares to disobey my orders to be the prime minister; There is no room for bargaining for half a day for the opening, that is the ultimate pursuit of a warrior, and Hojo Kamakura, who has walked through the flames of war, should be able to understand; Money can be considered. Give me a hundred Hyundai-class ships at once, and I can not make trouble. Just cash, no cheques and credit cards - the bank will charge enough for me to build an army.
Hojo Kamakura has been in the background since the end of the Great Era, manipulating the world in the shadows, and everywhere he goes, he is always evaded and evaluated as the dark master of the fate of the main star. Although I don't have any political position now, relying on my personal qualifications and reputation, coupled with the power and achievements of the military circles, the actual political influence is enough to brazenly claim to be the first person on the ground of the main star in the bright world, commonly known as the Emperor of Light. The two giants, who represent light and shadow, use Kamei Shou as a medium to constantly bargain like a little woman in a vegetable market with a frequency close to that of a machine gun. The two of us claim to be identities, and they refuse to go to each other's land for an interview when there is such a big difference, and they are even more reluctant to communicate on the phone, but Kamei Shou, who is the middleman, suffers. Fortunately, he is no longer the main leader of the GDI and the government of Heguo, otherwise he would have delayed the national economy and people's livelihood of the people of Hezu because of this bird errand. We have been torn around these three issues, often negotiating or compromising in one place, and then popping up in another. Kamei Shou has been flying around Northeast Asia for the sake of the two of us, running back and forth 32 times in two months, and there are probably very few people in such a high position as him who can achieve such achievements in the switchback running event.
During this period, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the global democratic elections are hot. The result was not at all unexpected, almost exactly the same as what I heard from Guo Yingying in the sky above Nebuchu. However, for people as detached as me and Hojo Kamakura, those false names naturally don't matter, and we care more about the terms of the bullfight in front of us.
Kamei Shou ran short for us. Although he didn't complain, I gradually became a little embarrassed. But after thinking about it, Hojo Masanari is his own family hasn't pity his body bones, what am I worried about? So he continued to give birth to all kinds of incidents for him to run. Something finally happened -- on Christmas Eve in '73, Kamei's plane was attacked by strong air currents on the way, and it performed a very beautiful short-term plunge and tumbling on the radar screen, and lost one of its wings, almost scaring the ground controllers. Although he was finally able to change his stall and make a forced landing at Jinzhou Airport as a one-armed god, all the people on the plane were hung up, and the only passenger, Kamei Shou, was not a high-ranking person after all, and he bumped into many places in the process of free flight that he had rarely encountered in his life, each of which was enough for him to stay in the hospital for a week, and he was seriously injured in total.
The messengers have tossed us like this, and we really have no conscience to make any more trouble. Hojo Masanari and I finally gave in and came to an agreement. Many years later, the boring scholars who made a living by studying and commenting on my predecessors came to the conclusion that the agreement I made with Kamei Shou to betray China was a huge political adventure with a certain insaneness; And the agreement that Hojo Masanari secretly concluded with me is a kind of gambling that lures wolves into the house, and if it is not operated well, it will be ruined. He and I see this very clearly. As for the reason for signing in the end, it is naturally because personal emotional factors other than rational factors prevail. Hojo Kamakura has gone from the Great Era to this space age, accustomed to seeing people and political struggles in the world, and believes that he can still control it; And I firmly believe in one thing: no matter how good he is, there are times when he is old and confused. This kind of thing is too energy-consuming, he is old, how can he compare with me in the prime of life.
The final agreement was reached:
The opening, however, also bestows the same honor on Overmars, and summons him back to the main planet for the award;
Samsung retains its current political system, and its finances are transferred to the First Space Fleet. Each country on the main star adds a 2% space war tax point, which is paid directly to the First Space Fleet. At the same time, a normalized transfer payment mechanism for the Feria War will be established, and the specific amount and channels of transfer will be decided by the parliaments of various countries and the various units of the Space Force through consultation.
The name "shogunate" was common in China, Heguo, and even Europe in the Middle Ages. The names are different, and the content varies. The "shogunate" that is relevant to our time comes from the Great Era. It was a turbulent time. After a long and arduous struggle, humanity has gradually recovered the score from the invading alien race. At that time, the Earth Defense Force was a militia organization that started as the Lunar Guardians, and the army, staffing, and affiliation were very chaotic. At the same time, in order to unite all the forces that can be united, almost all the forces that can reach a consensus on the point of resisting the alien invasion must be fought for. After a long period of time, various forces in the army were numerous, and the organizational relations were chaotic. Any formalized, tangible, relationship-aligned idea seemed out of place in those war-torn times.
Therefore, the Earth Defense Force at that time could be said to be a dozen large armed groups and hundreds of small armed groups that were semi-independent of each other under a large outer skin and only roughly divided by lines of power. Fortunately, it was indeed an era of heroes, and this hodgepodge army finally succeeded and won the final victory.
Soon after the victory, there was a series of natural disasters that led to the founding of the GDI. After the establishment of the GDI, the first thorny issue was to solve the unresolved issue of treatment in the previous generation, and to thoroughly straighten out the relations between the military and the government in various places. After more than 10 years of arduous efforts and struggles, these problems have finally been gradually resolved. At that time, the system of the four great powers had been established, and the goal of nationalizing the army had been achieved. The leaders of the vast majority of independent armed groups were also given class and treatment based on seniority and dedication, as well as their power at the time. But in the end, there were still five or six surviving elders who could not be accommodated at all.
The fame and qualifications of these patriarchs are scary to death when they are mentioned one by one, and even King Situ and Hojo Masasan, who were hiding behind the scenes and manipulating the world at that time, have to smile when they see each other. In fact, King Situ and Hojo Masaki are in a similar situation to them, they belong to the kind of people whose merits and power are so great that they can't find the right words to embellish their great names. However, King Situ and Hojo Masanari still have a world of flowers to manipulate, so they can be detached. The consciousness of those elders is more than a step worse than theirs, and when the family gatherings, there are seven or eight marshals and a dozen generals, and it is very unsightly to have a higher title, so we have to find a way to solve it appropriately.
As a result of the inventions of the Establishment Committee, the "shogunate" was introduced in the general rules of the GDI and the specific provisions of the cadre specifications to establish the supremacy of the big men. Literally, the basic meaning of the "shogunate" is to have independent personnel appointments. Prior to this, the leaders of some important departments of the GDI had the power to appoint certain ranks and ranks according to the prescribed range, but they could not be compared with the shogunate recognized by the GDI. The shogunate meant a statutory, fully enclosed independent kingdom.
On the basis of independent personnel rights, GDI has developed a relatively complete shogunate system, the main contents of which are:
1. The supreme leader of the shogunate is the shogun. The general must be a senior GDI general.
2. The shogunate is an independent political and military institution, and its internal finances, personnel, and operations are not subject to the jurisdiction of any person or institution other than the shogun, and the shogun may recruit his own troops and confer military ranks corresponding to the rank of the shogunate, and give them corresponding treatment. With the consent of the person in question, a GDI preparer may be recruited.
3. The lowest rank of brigadier generals required to serve as shoguns. The size of the shogunate was determined by the rank at the time of the shogun's opening. If there is a great merit after the opening, it will be expanded after the approval of the GDI Global Federation.
4. The shogunate enjoyed the corresponding fiefdom (this article actually changed in the later period), and enjoyed the right to manage taxes, the legal system, and the political system within the fief.
5. The principle that life does not bring death and does not take away, and the shogun does not inherit. Under normal circumstances, when a shogun dies, the shogunate is automatically dissolved. However, in exceptional circumstances, the GDI Global Federation may designate an heir to the shogunate.
It was a pioneering move to resolve the situation at the time. The patriarchs were so big that the factories couldn't produce enough military ranks to wear on them. Now it's simple, the next opening order, give them a shogun, and give them the territory they actually control at the moment, and they won't hand over a single one anyway. They became shoguns, and the sons and sons-in-law of the marshals below also gained a rightful status, which would not cause family rebellion and was conducive to social stability and unity. In addition, it can also solve the dilemma of some very remote or traitor-occupied territory that is not cared for. GDI only needs to find a random general who wants to make meritorious contributions, give him that place, open a small shogunate for him, and issue a small opening sponsorship. After that, it's up to you to do it. Whether it is raising the salaries of subordinates or recruiting troops, as long as the number of troops and the scale of weapons of mass destruction are within the limit, it is none of the business of the GDI. Anyway, when the fight is down, when will your shogunate be worthy of the name. GDI only has to wait for a few decades, and wait for the general to take over the state-owned land after his ascension.
At the same time, this is, after all, a very enviable title and honor. After the great era, many new generals have a feeling that they were born at an untimely time, feeling that they were born one step late and did not catch up with the good times, and they are generally a little discouraged. With this transcendent title of starting point only for brigadier general, it is easy to mobilize the enthusiasm of these people.
With the progress of society, the gradual clarity of the internal relations of the GDI and the arrival of a long era of peace, it has become more and more unnecessary for generals with outstanding martial arts. The GDI first passed an unwritten cease-and-desist motion at an internal meeting, and then quietly abolished the marshal class at the end of the fifties. The bad is also bad in the word "quietly". The GDI tried to repeal these privileges without causing any waves, and for decades there was almost no fuss, almost successfully. But when I met this cosmic era, and met those of us who already had enough merit and confidence, we turned out this thing that should have been displayed in the museum as an antique, justifiably and legally.
The shogunate meant a military privilege that was above the local government, and even if the "democratic elections" were completed, it would have no effect on such a title, which was obviously contrary to the democratization ideas of the new forces. Although the fiefdom of Ovimas and I was set at Nebuchu was tantamount to giving us an empty general, it was of great significance and unusual after all. When Hanhan learned the news, she called me that night and asked me why I had not consulted her in advance to reach such an agreement with Hojo Kamakura that threatened the very foundation of democratization. She felt that she was being used by a game - the proposal to normalize relations with the Celestial Realm that I had been making a fuss about for a long time was just a bargaining chip, and she was just a pawn!
"What do you think my shogunate looks like?" I smiled and said, "No money and no one, do you know where the fief is?" Nebuchu! Okay, okay, I didn't talk to you, I apologize to you. But you can rest assured that I will never interfere with your democratic reforms, absolutely not. β
Han Han was still skeptical of me, and asked, "Really?" β
I patted my chest and promised, "I've always been very serious when I talk to you." You are in charge of the government, and I train my soldiers, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. Remember to transfer 100% of your transfer to me, and don't give a penny to Ovimas and them. β
I did it very sincerely, and I only set up a shogunate banner in the open space of the shogunate, announcing that those soldiers would be my private army from now on, but there was no need to have my surname Huang - nothing else. I don't care about the affairs of Nandu, and I don't care about Titus's side, and concentrate on training with Basque Bing.
When Overmars received the title of Shogun, his joy was palpable. Of course, he is not a fool, so he will not be deceived by such a hat. He only replied to Hojo Kamakura, "The war situation is changing rapidly, please allow me to observe it carefully", and at the same time wrote to ask me if I should come back.
The first thing I did when I returned to Leilondo was to change all the people in the information relay center in front of the vulture fortress, so I was not afraid that the information would be leaked or deliberately withheld again, and I wrote back: "It's better to wait if the time is not right." β
This is the truth, if he returns with his troops at this time, it is equivalent to showing the hole cards that are not very good. To him, it was the equivalent of self-destruction of the Great Wall. Overmars also understood this, and quickly fabricated an excuse for the tension at the front, asked for the shogun's coat and badge, issued an application form for voluntary membership in the shogunate, and then simply held the opening ceremony at the headquarters and never mentioned it again. Hojo Kamakura urged once but there was no response, and he seemed to forget about it.
Therefore, both of our openings are extremely low-key, so low-key that there is no even the slightest rumor in the distribution place of gossip such as the Internet. Just like the unknowingly untold business of the Fantasy World, this kind of unusually low-key thing can often bring subversive results to people. (To be continued.) )
