"Alas, Mr. Baron has overdone it, and the future of this empire still depends on you new generation elites to protect it!" The Count said politely.

Lei Luo's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at the soldiers around him, the uniforms they were wearing were wrinkled, and even the guns could be seen with the scars of wear and tear. Ouch I'm going, how poor is this?

The Earl of Birmingham took the opportunity to frown and said with a sad face: "The baron smiled, the frontier is not as poor as the interior of the empire, the mountains and rivers are poor!" ”

Lei Luo said with a smile: "That's right, I heard a good saying, 'Poor mountains and bad waters come out of Diao people', I believe that this southwest border must be because there are too many Diao people, which has caused chaos in public order and cannot be peaceful!" ”

The Earl of Birmingham immediately said: "Your Excellency, there are indeed countless people here, so Baron Lei Luo should be careful when traveling!" ”

Lei Luo suddenly put away his smile and said: "I said that the Grand Duke has been governing here for hundreds of years, if hundreds of years of time can't quell the rebellion and pirates here, then it means that it is necessary for Her Majesty the Empress to send me here!" ”

The Earl's expression froze instantly, and then he opened his mouth and said, "Is Mr. Baron here to demonstrate?" ”

Lei Luo shook his head, smiled even brighter, and pointed around and asked, "Mr. Earl, do you know what these are?" ”

The Earl of Birmingham looked at the things he was referring to, and he didn't know what he knew except for the barren hills and the warships of the military base. Lei Luo laughed and said: "There are talented people in the country, and they have led the way for hundreds of years!" Don't you see, Monsieur Earl, that these are all military feats for us young people! After he finished speaking, his sword eyebrows raised, and his momentum became extremely arrogant: "If you older generation can't solve it, let our younger generation solve it!" At this moment, he suddenly had a plan, and it was very suitable for a person to work here.

"Hmph, what an arrogant tone, but a major baron, just shouting here with us!" At this time, a three-star general suddenly said behind the Earl of Birmingham, looking at his beard, like an uncle in his sixties, but his expression was very disdainful of Lei Luo, which immediately aroused Lei Luo's interest.

"What kind of big guy is this?" Lei Luo asked slowly.

The Earl of Birmingham introduced: "This is the third son of the Grand Duke, Hemingway Robert Kane, our Admiral Kane!" ”

The military rank of the empire has a very strange setting, starting from the non-commissioned officer, the third class, and the third class, all the way to the lieutenant general; But when it came to the generals, it began to be divided into three-star generals, four-star generals, and five-star generals! For example, Lei Luo's military rank is major, above the major is a lieutenant colonel, then a colonel, and above the colonel there is no colonel, and he is directly promoted to major general.

However, the majors are divided into first-class majors, second-class majors, and third-class majors. It's not that there is much difference in rank, but that you are distinguished by rank. Just like Lei Luo commanding an independent regiment, that is, a third-class major, with absolute decision-making power. But the rank of major in the rest of the regiments is not as powerful as his, and he will be designated as a major of the second or first class.

In fact, this kind of division is also on the appointment letter, the imperial officers themselves are too lazy to care so clearly, the position has already determined the rank, there is no need to take it out so thorny, and the benefits enjoyed by everyone are the same, and the functions are different.

Over time, this kind of hierarchy is almost useless, but it has not been banned. After all, the empire is too large, and the base of officers and soldiers at the grassroots level is too large, and the division of ranks is to avoid conflicts in peacetime.

Lei Luo sighed and said, "I'm glad I will, but seeing you dressed so old, my heart is very sad!" Lei Luo then said to the guards behind him: "Come on, divide the military uniforms we supplied last month for Mr. Admiral and his soldiers, you see how miserable they are, they are dressed like Hanako!" After Lei Luo finished speaking, he also made a gesture to wipe his tears and said: "The officers and soldiers in the border areas are hard, you must learn more from the hard work and dedication of others!" ”

"Yes, sir!" A group of people immediately saluted and replied.

"You!" The Admiral couldn't help but point at Lei Luo.

Lei Luo seemed to understand something, and immediately said: "By the way, the orderly gave my military uniform to Mr. General, he is a dignified imperial general, and the son of Grand Duke Hemingway is too ugly to wear such shabby clothes!" ”

Trude and the others all lowered their heads and forced a smile, while Hemingway's troops were full of anger but could not get angry. You must know that you thought that you would meet a proud and vulgar baron who came to inspect, and when you saw the military uniforms of these people, why did you pretend to be sympathetic, and then moved to report to the empire about the suffering of the border soldiers, but now you have met a ruffian-like baron.

Lei Luo didn't play his cards at all, first of all, what he did was not to sympathize with the border officers and soldiers, but to show off his tallness, and then directly sent thousands of sets of his military uniforms to Hemingway's army with the face of charity and poverty alleviation, which had to make both sides look bad.

Who is Lei Luo, are you really that poor? Who are you tigers? How to say that Lao Tzu has also learned a hundred years of humiliation history, the Celestial Empire during the warlord melee, which warlord wears your hard work, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know that you are pretending, don't learn to cry poor in "Liu Luoguo", although the civilization of the Celestial Empire is not as long as yours, but when it comes to officialdom, it is more profound than you!

You must know who knows that the other party pretends to be B, and no one TM will be happy, plus Lei Luo has never disdained what kind of nobleman he is, Nima just gives money, it doesn't matter if you are a gentleman or not, gentlemen are reserved for people with moderation, not for people who pretend to be B.

So his rogue temper came again, and he immediately became stupid and stunned, if you want to pretend to be called Hanako, I will pretend to be a local tyrant, who is afraid of whom, can you still bite me?

Lei Luo directly ignored the righteous indignation of those people, turned to the Earl of Birmingham and said: "Lord Earl, we are here by order, please take me and others to visit His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Hemingway as soon as possible, so it is not rude!" ”

It's not rude, are you polite? Everyone on the border secretly thought, only the Earl of Birmingham frowned deeply, but he still said with a formulaic smile: "At this time, it is natural and natural, it is hard for you to come to my southwest border, let's go to the Blue Whale Palace to meet the Grand Duke!" ”

The predecessor of the Hemingway family is said to have been born as a pirate, so their family crest is a blue whale spraying water, and later they chose to support the founding emperor of the Titan dynasty and became a whitewashed pirate, not to mention, but also directly became a noble family.

The children of the Hemingway family have grown up in a rigorous education for generations, and there are some characteristics of the "wolf pack" culture, and each generation is not the most favored child who becomes the head of the family, but the most ruthless and insidious to become the head of the family. The Hemingway family has a long history, but each generation has a story of fratricide, but because of their remoteness and dictatorship over the southwestern frontier, this information has not been passed on too far.

The successive emperors of the Titan Empire gradually lost control of such nobles because of the uneven good and bad, and it would be good for them to stabilize their domestic rule, but they could still manage those border places? There were even emperors with appeasement policies, hoping that these border warlords would be self-contained as a barrier against foreign enemies, but they did not think that these warlords might defect on their own!

Empress Claire has changed her ruling policy greatly because of her various encounters before taking power. Initiatives such as not compromising with local warlords and weakening the power of the military in parliament have gradually revealed her ambition to change many patterns. Many of her policies and aspirations can be said to have the shadow of the Iron Empress, but the war has not yet broken out, and it has been hidden.

It should be said that she is a more courageous lord than the previous emperor, and for her, dragging out time to cover up those internal problems of the empire is the biggest problem, and the most efficient cure of those problems is what she has to do. So she didn't let appeasement become her early advocacy, but she wanted to completely stabilize her throne through a war!

Lei Luo and the other bureaucrats got into the car of the hotel and headed for the Blue Whale Palace. In fact, what is the Blue Whale Palace, Lei Luo has long known that although the Blue Whale Palace is the early palace of the Hemingway family, in fact, they built another magnificent palace hundreds of years ago, called the Giant Whale Palace!

Giant Whale Palace, I heard that the luxury inside is the same as describing the wine pond meat forest of the king of Shang. In fact, not only the king of Shang, I heard that the independent leader of India, the palace where a certain president lived, even the toilet was carved from white jade, and the gold Watanabe, there were countless beauties inside, and they were almost naked.

History openly only talks about his great achievements, but who knows about his extravagant life? The extravagance of the Giant Whale Palace is definitely more extravagant than the Emperor's bedroom. In fact, it is not that you are extravagant and that means that you are rich, but the royal family of the Titans does not have an "exhibitionist" hobby for those gold and silver jewelry, and the house is comfortable to live in, so why bother with jewels and gold and silver everywhere.

Before Lei Luo came here, he had already seen the information of the Giant Whale Palace, and the Blue Whale Palace can only be regarded as a palace, although it was once the birthplace of the Hemingway family, but after all, the temple is small and dilapidated.

No wonder he let himself land on this planet, obviously crying poverty! Lei Luo looked out the window at the scenery as if looking at the desolation of the western swath. From time to time, I also saw herdsmen riding on mounts on barren mountains grazing there, and the wind and sun were like black charcoal.

Lei Luo and the others walked on the front foot, and they heard Lieutenant General Kane sneer at the Earl of Birmingham: "Don't ask you to make a show, you just pretend to be poor for others, and now it's okay, you didn't pretend to be poor, but you were laughed at!" ”

"The Third Highness is angry, this plan was not thought of by me, it is obviously recommended by His Royal Highness the Ninth and the Grand Duke of Xiangguo!" The Earl of Birmingham then smiled again: "Actually, it's nothing, you must know that Xiao Jiu seems to be smart, and meeting this Lei Luo this time may be a good thing for you rather than a bad thing!" ”

"How?" Seeing that Lei Luo had already gotten into the car, Kane naturally began to walk towards the car with Birmingham.

"Do the wicked have their own wicked grinding?" Birmingham's old body is quite tough when he walks.
