394 Elena's Centralization Policy
Admiral Farina, who had taken off his heavy armor and was tightly bandaged by the medical team, walked over. www.biquge.info He was wearing a red military coat wrapped in neatly patterned gauze, and red blood spots loomed under the white gauze.
Filia hurried over, shouted "Father", and took a closer look at the Admiral's arrow wound.
"It's okay, two penetrating wounds, missed the vital point. The admiral stroked Filia's long hair, smiled slightly, and then straightened his face and bent down to Elena: "The rebels have all been killed, and the three thousand guards who rebelled have all been disarmed and are waiting to be disposed of." ”
"Good. Gather the team, I want to reward you!" Elena was categorical. She had already instructed Lancelot to carve four Iron Cross medals, and it was almost time to send them.
"Yes. "The Admiral stepped back.
Elena borrowed the golden sword from Filia to wear, and then Frederick helped her, limped to the gate of the fallen upper palace, raised her head and looked down on the square of the corpses, restrained her nervousness in a stirring mood, and spoke angrily:
"My soldiers. Because of the defeat of the treaty signed by their fathers, these Silesians came to our kingdom to do whatever they wanted. They manipulate our kings, control our economy, desecrate our laws, and even imprison your emperor! But the Aryans cannot be defeated! Finally, the eagle's vision once again guides the eyes of the empire, and the banner of the Iron Cross flutters again on the top of the imperial city; our bodies have been baptized with blood and artillery fire, and we will be reborn from the ashes, and we will surely become an even more powerful nation!"
Ferdinand, who was reborn for the 586th time, knelt at his gun in embarrassment, raising his head in astonishment, he didn't expect Elena's speech to be so angry, so incendiary, so inspiring!
Elena held Frederick in her arms, her right arm held high, and her voice was full of power, like the singing of a queen, washing the soul of the legion: "Today's victory is a sign of the rise of the Empire, and tomorrow's work leads to a more magnificent journey! Therefore, I want to reward you! In addition to boring promotions, in addition to rich bounties, I will also give you the capital to shine on the lintel, and I will also give you the opportunity to live for a hundred years! If you are a soldier, I will escort you to the military academy, let you step into the battlefield that dominates the fate of the empire, and serve the empire under my grace! If you are an officer, I will give you the most perfect fairness, and the empress will personally ask you about your examination in every rank selection, because you are the strong force that the emperor remembers! In addition, your legion has been gilded with your courage and awarded the 'Iron Cross Medal', which inspires your descendants to sing the praises of your epic!"
"Long live the Emperor!" the surviving soldiers cheered and cheered.
Admiral Farina was a little dumbfounded. In this way, the morale of the army is fully tilted towards Elena, and if these four legions receive the continuous irradiation of the emperor's grace, they will gradually upgrade to the legions directly under the empress. Elena justifiably dug into the corner of the military headquarters, but the military headquarters had no position to protest.
"The fourth squadron of dragoons, out of the ranks!" Elena pulled out the golden sword, and when more than twenty dragoons rushed to her knees, Elena pressed the blade on the shoulder of the dragoons, and rewarded them on the spot: "Your fighting tradition is the eternal pride of the Aryans." In the name of the Emperor of the HRE Empire, I award the Order of the Iron Cross of the 4th Squadron of Dragoons, you are the noblest elite of the Empire, and this has been the case for all ages, and it will remain for all generations. ”
"Your will is our mission. Your Majesty. The dragoon bowed his head and raised his hand, taking the Iron Cross box from the Empress.
"The second squadron of dragoons, out of the ranks!"
Filia led the scarred 12 dragoons and knelt silently in front of Elena.
Elena's blade rested on Filia's shoulder, and tears glistened faintly in her eyes: "I am willing to open up the future of the empire with you as a reward for loyalty." In the name of the Emperor of the HRE Empire, I confer the Order of the Iron Cross of the Second Squadron of Dragoons, you are my closest companions, and they have been like this for generations. ”
Filia bowed her head and pressed the floor tiles, and swore earnestly: "Loyalty is life, my empress." She looked up to receive the Iron Cross medal and saw Elena looking at her with bright eyes, biting her lip as if she were crying. Filia looked at her gently, her red lips were more "don't cry" than her mouth, and then she stepped back in a regular manner.
Then the Empress rewarded the First Praetorian Legion, giving it the power to execute arrest warrants, and the command was directly vested in the Imperial Family. As a result, although the First Praetorian Guard was at the bottom of the four Iron Cross Legions, it had broad administrative powers.
Admiral Farina and Griffith were dumbfounded, but powerless to stop them.
"Silver Knights of Bafaria, out of line!" Elena put the main event last.
Thirty-three silver knights in disastrous armor formed a 6x5 phalanx, bowing their heads with their swords and kneeling on one knee. They were the regular army of the feudal town, so they knelt down on one knee to the emperor. It was only in the face of Frederick that they were willing to get down on their knees.
Lancelot knelt down in front of Elena's knees, his head bowed. Then the Empress's blade pressed against his shoulder.
"You did not hesitate to bear the name of treason, fought to the death for me, and cleared the cancer that parasitized the empire. In the name of the Emperor of the HRE Empire, I grant you the Order of the Iron Cross, and you have all the rights due to the elite cavalry units of the Empire. The HRE Empire will join forces with Bafaria to create an unprecedented era of martial arts!" Elena spat out the open air.
Griffith was seriously admiring the heart-wrenching canonization ceremony, when he suddenly heard Ferdinand kneeling at his feet and sneering: "Are you just going to watch that woman pull the army one by one......? Hehehe, constitutional monarchy is waste paper. ”
Griffith scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense! The Empress is intelligent and gentle, and is by no means a dictator. ”
"That woman is complicated...... The reason why she was able to play with me was because I accidentally took her as a smart and gentle little beauty. Do you still treat her like a little girl? Then you'll follow my old path. "Ferdinand insidiously provoked.
Griffith was so distraught that he gritted his teeth and killed Ferdinand for the 587th time with a sword.
Ferdinand's head fell to the ground, and the world fell silent.
Lancelot took the medal neatly, swore allegiance, and quickly stepped aside to save the Empress time. He knew that the Bill of Rights clearly stipulated that the emperor could not organize a standing army and not skip the legal process to arrest his subjects, and that Elena was secretly exploiting the loopholes in the constitution by enlisting the standing army to the royal family in the name of "canonizing the Iron Cross Legion" and cleverly granting the gendarmerie corps the right to arrest. It was rare that Admiral Farina did not speak against him, so Lancelot was very anxious, hoping that the emperor would seize the time and close the coffin as soon as possible when everyone's interest was high.
Elena also knows that her actions are taking advantage of the chaos and robbery, which is tantamount to shaking the foundation of democracy. Fortunately, the plan of the military department was originally to support the emperor to govern, so it would be full of forbearance to acquiesce to her centralized policy. So after she canonized the four Iron Crosses, she immediately entered the execution of the universal celebration: "Bring out the traitor Ferdinand!" (to be continued.) )
