Chapter 240: Southwest Fortress
What Lei Luo didn't know was that after Frank resigned, he retired directly because he was dissatisfied with the treatment of the grassroots troops, and then relied on his own connections to directly hire a group of people to come to Beta Star to explore the underground palace of Beta Beast. It is unknown whether he succeeded in becoming a billionaire or died directly under the claws of the betamons.
In short, the underground palace of Betamon did become a sacred place for many interstellar adventurers later, and the Betamon were no longer mysterious monsters, and whether they were extinct or protected later was not something that Lei Luo could know. He restrains his own greed, but he can't restrain the greed of others.
In the end, the destroyer came up not with Vice Admiral Branne, who was suggested by Lei Luo, but with one of his subordinates, Rear Admiral Situ Yan. The reason why Vice Admiral Brann did not come may be because he has a high military rank, and there is no need to be the captain of a destroyer with a battleship formation, or it may be that the empress has other ideas.
In short, at the end of the month, the matter of changing the generals was decided. Lei Luo led his troops to welcome Situ Yan's arrival, and then began to drive towards the southwest border at the urging of the empress.
Because considering that Situ Yan only came and needed a certain amount of adaptation, Lei Luo did not jump directly in space, but played tricks on the way there, delaying for a full week before arriving at the southwest fortress slowly.
The Southwest Fortress, which belongs to the Southwest Legion of the Empire, is now a military center under the command of Marshal Kuiba! The Imperial army was divided into two large armies under the command of two marshals, from the central area to the royal guards, and to the east, west, south, and north. In this way, it has been divided into a marshal in the star field to which the royal army belongs, eight marshals in the remaining four directions, and a marshal is actually a royal adviser who has no military power, and is supervised by the old marshal who is old and retired from his age, to put it bluntly, he is the emperor's messenger outside. Generally, the descendants of this old marshal will also become the headmaster, dean or something of a well-known university in the empire.
Expanding outwards are some local warlords, but most of these warlords are the noble remnants of the old aristocratic forces who opened up territory for the Titans, and their troops have no regular army configuration, but they have also become complete soil emperors because of the perennial guarding of the border fortress!
Although the land occupied by these earth emperors still nominally belonged to the Titans, it was more like their own independent kingdom, almost administratively and militarily. In the early years, in order to curb their development, the emperor severely exploited and restricted them, such as giving them limited financial support and material supplies. and secretly instigated these warlords to fight each other in order to weaken their strength, but later these warlords colluded with some interstellar evil forces and began their own development, so the managers of the central and border areas were more like gods.
In order to appease the people's hearts and stabilize their development, His Majesty did not suppress them again, but he did not control them, causing the nobles at the border gateway to begin to act more boldly and recklessly. Maybe without the Hemingway family colluding with the Three Kings, the new empress of this generation would not have the courage to do it against them so quickly, but we can't help but consider the possibility that even if the Hemingway family does not participate, other families may participate!
The empress's extremes and boldness were not expected by the parliament, but now that most of the army generals have been replaced, even the marshals have also changed their military districts with a bare commander, and the power effect has obviously greatly strengthened the imperial power, if the empress really wants to fight, I believe that the congressmen are powerless to stop it.
As an extremely aspiring emperor, Empress Claire immediately began her second journey of ambition with a monopoly on power, and the Hemingway family could not feel at ease for a day in the empress.
But even so, the empress must also consider the chain reaction, because once these border warlords join forces, their strength should not be underestimated, and the neighboring Arda people are likely to take advantage of the fire. Speaking of the Merchant Alliance, I heard that this alliance is building its own empire, although the Arda and the Titans have suppressed and limited their economic invasion under the tacit agreement, they can still buy a large number of planets outside the two empires to try to immigrate and build empires.
This is also a question that the Empress is faintly worried about.
Therefore, the empress came up with the idea of sending Lei Luo to the border, not to mention that Lei Luo is the empress's most favored minister, and it is also necessary to conduct an investigation in the name of fighting pirates and reviewing the border garrison.
Lei Luo's destroyer temporarily docked at the Southwest Fortress for the last replenishment and repair, and this time it will really go to the territory of Archduke Hemingway in the frontier land!
The destroyer docked perfectly with Battlestar, and the hallway began to fill with air, and after the alarm was lifted, Relo and several of his men walked up to Battlestar.
Laugh at~! As soon as the air pressure valve in the door opened, a purple light appeared in front of Lei Luo's eyes, and officially Kuiba stood at the door with his adjutant waiting for him.
Lei Luo looked at Kuiba with a little surprise, Kuiba's three-meter-tall figure was wearing a king-size marshal uniform, and the military hat on his head also looked a little nondescript, a little funny, he smiled: "I didn't expect the generalissimo to come to meet us in person!" ”
Kuiba laughed and said: "You don't look at who you are, the number one celebrity around the empress, who doesn't want to slap you, why don't I come over to say hello?" ”
Lei Luo smiled: "If I am the first celebrity, aren't you the second celebrity?" ”
Kuiba was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Who wants to be the second child!" He turned around and said, "I heard that you have been training hard lately, so let your soldiers take a day off here for a day off!" ”
Lei Luo nodded: "This order I ordered to go down early and rest for two days." ”
"Yo, you still have two days off, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be really angry!" Kuiba squeezed his eyes.
Lei Luo snorted and said, "Anyway, going there is also a sheep's mouth, and I can rely on it for a day!" ”
"You still don't trust our majesty!" Kuiba shook his head and said: "I'm here, what are you afraid of, brother, I am your backer, if you can't beat me, run away from me, I'll save you!" ”
"Rub, I'm talking about the same as picking up soap, so I don't feel so bad!" Lei Luo scolded, and then waved his hand: "Uncle, I've been working hard outside for a month, come and have some fun for you!" ”
"Fun? Are you sure you want to have fun? Kuiba looked at him seriously and said, "A stunned young man, and you still want to have fun, I don't dare to find it for you, otherwise Her Majesty the Empress will not clean me up severely!" ”
Lei Luo was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, Nima, who TM said that he must find a woman, he is not a casual person!
