Lin He, who returned to the mercenary group's station, locked himself in the regiment commander's office alone.

At the moment, in his hand is the most recent week's "Imperial Daily". On the desk in front of me, there were a few older dates.

"Large-scale mass demonstrations broke out in the southwestern provinces of the glorious empire! 》

"The Brilliant Empire lodges a serious protest to the Trade Federation over the Trade Federation's alleged funding of FL forces in the southwest of the empire!" 》

The Foreign Secretary of the Brilliant Empire and the Special Envoy of the Trade Federation met in the Cold Ice City, and neither side said anything about the content of the meeting. 》

The Southwest Front of the Brilliant Empire sent the 19th and 25th Army Corps to the Southwest Provinces to help fight the FL forces in the region! 》

Underneath these front-page news, there was also an inconspicuous report that also caught Lin He's attention.

"The Brilliant Empire's Leaving Ai Chang Princess successfully graduated from the Imperial Royal Academy and received the Purple Gold Medal of Honor for this academic year. From now on, he will be appointed as Assistant Minister of War of the Reich. 》

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Lin He slowly closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair tiredly.

My mind went back to four years ago.

I remember vividly that it was on July 15 of that year. Jafar, the speaker of the Imperial Parliament, initiated the impeachment of Marshal Lin Tian of the Imperial Southwestern Front at the triennial National Assembly. A total of nine counts were listed, including embezzlement and bribery, self-respect for the army, and conspiracy to commit treason.

When the news came out, the whole country was shocked!

Marshal Lin Tian, who was born as a civilian, has always been a military idol in the hearts of the people. In thirty years of service, he started as an ordinary soldier. After the captain, the captain, the division commander, and then the corps commander, and finally the imperial marshal who defended one side. Throughout the marshal's personal service career, it can be called an inspirational and legendary history of imperial soldiers.

In particular, in the past five years as the supreme military commander of the Empire's Southwestern Front, the Empire's side and the Trade Federation have maintained peace for five years along the long border of thousands of kilometers to the southwest.

You must know that the struggle between the Empire and the Trade Federation over the sovereignty of the Southwest Bluewater River Plain has been going on for hundreds of years, during which several frictions have broken out almost every year.

And now, the military god of the empire, the idol of the people. Such a shocking crime broke out, and the whole country was shocked for a while. It soon became the biggest hot event in the empire that year.

With the development of events, domestic public opinion has also been divided into two factions with clear-cut banners.

The side represented by the "Southwest United Daily News" in the southwest region listed a large number of facts about the impeachment case of Speaker Jafar and refuted it point by point.

The side, represented by the "Imperial Capital Daily", cited a large amount of so-called incriminating evidence to support the impeachment case of Speaker Jafar.

As for the dark experience in the future, Lin He didn't dare to think about it anymore. I just remember the news on August 6, when almost all the major newspapers of the empire reported it on the front page.

"Lin Tian, the former imperial marshal and the supreme military commander of the Southwest Front, committed suicide on the way back to the military headquarters to report on his work! 》

On the same day, Lin He, the best graduate of the Imperial Royal Academy and winner of the Order of the Purple Star. After receiving the appointment as the midshipman of the 3rd Division of the 7th Army Corps of the Imperial Northeast Front, he chose to retire in the afternoon of the same day.

...........

There was a knock at the door.

"Captain, the afternoon meeting is about to begin, and the deputy captains are already waiting for you in the conference room!" At the door, the voice of Gray, the captain of his own guard, was urged.

"Got it, I'll go now!"

"Okay, Captain!"

Ten minutes later, Jin Jinhua mercenary group conference room.

With the appearance of Lin He, the top leaders of the entire mercenary group have all arrived. Contains the three deputy commanders in charge of military affairs, namely the dwarf Rose, the elf Legrath, and the human Staff. As well as Deputy Chief Cohen for Intelligence, and Deputy Chief of Mission Love for Logistics.

"Captain!" The five deputy heads stood up together and greeted Lin He, who walked in.

"Well, let's sit down and talk." Lin He walked to the exclusive chair in the conference room, and did not forget to signal everyone to sit down and talk on the way.

"Today's meeting is more important, and I think everyone knows a little bit about the situation, but I still hope that Deputy Head Cohen can give us a systematic summary."

Lin He, who sat down, nodded to Deputy Head Cohen in the crowd.

Cohen is a middle-aged man with a beautiful face. As a high-level thief, he has been responsible for the intelligence work of the mercenary group since its creation.

As a competent spy chief, at least Deputy Commander Cohen himself thinks so. On weekdays, he has relatively little contact with everyone.,Except for the head of the regiment.,The most mysterious person in the mercenary group.。

It took less than ten minutes for Deputy Head Cohen, who stood up, to completely present the situation in the entire southwest region in front of everyone. It can be said that Deputy Commander Cohen can be regarded as a competent spy leader, and there is a lot of information in it that outsiders have never grasped, even from the imperial military.

"Therefore, the impact on our regiment is mainly in the following aspects: First, our new food procurement channels may be cut off again. In addition, after the withdrawal of the trade federation, we need to fill this trade gap as soon as possible! ”

As for the current problems encountered by the mercenary group, the three senior veterans in charge of military affairs have no concept at all. As for Cohen himself, well, it's a bit of a strongman for you to make him a professional who plays intrigue and now switch his career to research the future of the mercenary group.

Then now there is only Deputy Commander Love, who is in charge of logistics, and as a professional, he should have his own unique opinions.

It's a pity that the tacit understanding over the years has made everyone know that this old guy is purely a follower of the regiment leader. You ask him to count how much toilet paper is left in the thatched house, and how many chairs in the office are broken, but it's okay. To solve this kind of problem, then this old guy will always have only one solution, and it is a very effective kind. That is: Commander, what do you think about this issue?

"What are the main lines of our current grain procurement?" Rubbing his temples, Lin He painfully realized that he had been able to survive with these guys and had not broken up until now, and his luck was not ordinarily good.

"The Goon family in the southwestern province, the Winston family in the Haerland province, and of course the main thing is the trade federation. Now only Winston can continue to supply us. "As the business he is responsible for, Deputy Head of Love is still very familiar.

"In addition to food, is there also a problem with the procurement of other materials?"

"Yes, Commander, with the withdrawal of the Trade Federation, we will also have difficulties in purchasing cloth and equipment, but these should be solved in the short term."

"It is estimated that it will be difficult to meet our next procurement needs!" Deputy Head Cohen took out a document from his arms and handed it to Lin He.
