Chapter 491: Operation Codename: Enduring Justice
,
Zhou Lin looked at the legionnaires sitting on either side of the long table, his eyes sweeping over him.
The legionnaires of these empires have always been poisonous and domineering in their localities, and even walking is the master of the nostrils.
But now, everyone who was seen by Lorraine's gaze unconsciously straightened his waist and looked straight ahead with an expressionless face, looking like a regular soldier, striving to leave a good impression on the world-shattering governor. As their superiors, don't look at Luo as a young man, but these legion commanders don't dare to have the slightest contempt in their hearts.
Needless to say, the snakes of the Naian land.
Over the past year, they had all seen the methods used by Lord Lorraine. picked the heads of several big officials, copied a hereditary nobleman, and his tricks were sophisticated and ruthless, not at all like a young man who had just come of age could use it, to the point of being an old fox who was mixed up in officialdom.
Knowing this, the young governor could not be blinded, and the locals were respectful to Lorraine, and some were even very afraid of Lorraine.
The legionnaires of the Eastern provinces, because of the relationship between Lorraine and Catherine, have long regarded Lorraine as the uncle of the Eastern provinces, and they are in front of Lorraine as Archduke Julian and Catherine.
Julian was strict with the army, and these army commanders were not smiling, and sat on their chairs with straight faces.
And the commanders of the provinces who recruited them to work, for these people, in addition to Lorraine's exploits, more importantly, Lorraine's wife is a princess of the royal family, and his father-in-law may be the future emperor "The brother-in-law must be the future emperor, no matter from that level of relationship, they are all unattainable figures of the regimental commanders who have worked hard.
Before they came, the governors of the provinces had solemnly explained to them that the old thing in Lasseji had been pressed hard last year, and all the taxes had been collected.
We really don't have any money in our hands this year, so we can finally send you out to work and earn some extra money, don't mess up with me, and I've only received half of the labor fee.
The governors, who were like rabbits, who were blushing with money, gave them a death order to them, but if they went wrong, they would sell you for money when they returned.
Knowing that his southern expedition would bring with them the governors' ardent hopes for gold coins, the commanders of the provincial army did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with Lorraine's youth, and some even trembled.
What's more, they are facing Lord Lorraine.
Even if it is not to mention the great feats made by Lorraine, the world-famous "Flying Eagle God of War". No one knows, no one knows.
Not to mention that this governor is unanimously favored and is the mainstay of the future of the empire
Just because this uncle relied on that white face, he didn't allow anyone to be despised in any way.
You must know that Lord Luo is the adulterer of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the empire. Although the name is indeed a little ugly, it is an absolute fact that cannot be changed.
With this alone, no one dares to mess with it. In case he blows the wind on his pillow, His Royal Highness Long Yan will be furious, and maybe one day he will be transferred to the place where birds don't on Inga Island and gnaw potatoes.
Lorraine didn't know what these puppies were thinking, he saw that all the generals were sitting with stern expressions, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that these guys still regard their boss as the same thing in their hearts.
Seeing Lorraine nodding with a satisfied expression, the following legion commanders were all relieved, they had been worried that this young lord would find out an unlucky guy and fight two boards.
Lorraine cleared his throat and said, "Colleagues, for the sake of the great cause of the empire and the safety of Naian Province, you can come to support from afar without fear of danger, and I am here to represent the three million people of Nai'an. Thank you. ”
These words were addressed to those in the provincial army. In any case, after all, they sent troops here, and although they paid for it, what they could do was to put their heads on their belts, and it was a business that sold their lives, and this alone could not be ignored.
It's just that the ruffians in the provincial army are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they know that this lord is not good at serving, if he pokes his lung tubes, he will raid the house, and if he says that he will destroy the door, he will destroy the door, and he is quite sophisticated, and he can't even leave a grass.
Therefore, in the face of this prestigious lord, they all put themselves in the right position.
The commanders of the legions all stood up with a bang, and then neatly stamped their riding boots and replied, "Serve the Empire"
Lorraine raised her hand and saluted, and said lightly, "Take a break." Sit down, everyone, and you're welcome. ”
The officers immediately raised their hands and thumped them heavily on their chests before sitting back.
Lorraine pointed at Leo and said, "Everyone, let me introduce first, His Highness Leo is the military observer of this southern expedition. ”
The term military observer is interesting. To put it bluntly, it is to increase the experience points with the experience.
Under normal circumstances, it depends on who is in charge, and if there are different people, the rights will be different.
It's like a nobleman of a certain family, relying on the relationship between his brother-in-law and getting mixed into the army to boil his qualifications. At this time, even a soldier would not treat him as a dish.
Not to mention that there is a seat in the headquarters, even if it is a tent or something, you have to pay for it yourself.
And Niu Fork is a little bit like the ruffians in the Military Branch of Maple Leaf Danlin Academy. They rely on their own trainees all over the world, and every year they have to set up a military observation mission. With public funds, he followed the butt of the legion who was about to fight, and traveled everywhere.
When it's time to go back, just hand in a report casually, and you're done.
What's even more bullish is the kind that relies on his backstage relationship and runs to the coach to point fingers. He has a share of credit for winning the battle, and if he is defeated, he can walk without his responsibility.
Therefore, they rely on the fact that there is no pressure on their bodies, they always come up with nonsense, and the commanders who hate them have itchy teeth, and they will slash them with knives.
And like Grandpa Leo's, that is the most bullish one. Although his age does not interfere with everyone's business. But he can rely on his identity as an observer to spread wild all over the world and run around.
When the time comes, if you rob a folk girl, or find a worker who is in constant contact with bedding, and want to talk to her about life, philosophy, or something in the tent, this master ran in.
When he turned around, he didn't keep his mouth shut again, and said casually to Lord Luo about this matter, "Boss, that person doesn't sleep at night, and does very strange things with a beautiful woman." ”
It's a must, and the next day you have to fall on your head
The legion commander below was muttering in his heart. But they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
This lord is the future emperor of the Ruman Empire.
Although he is still just a child who feels good about himself, at most it has only been more than ten years, and the crown that represents the supreme power of the empire is about to be worn on his head.
Of course, these legion commanders should take advantage of the good opportunity to quickly pat yourself on the back and leave one for Leo. Impressed.
Maybe how many years later, this master suddenly remembered that he had been photographed very comfortably by anyone, so he gave it to a big official.
With this mentality, of course, everyone is desperately patting the horse's whiskers.
What kind of grandfather is a genius, wise and wise, bird raw fish soup or something, rolling in.
Everyone expressed their warm welcome to the imperial elite who possessed the wisdom of a thousand miles of discernment, broad and profound knowledge, mystical and mysterious judgment and incomparable courage, extraordinary military talent and ideas, versatile strength, benevolent elegance and infinite mind to inspect his work.
Having a grandfather do a day's work, uh, no, a minute's work is equivalent to half a year's work.
As long as he says a word, he has been bothering himself for so many years, and the problems of life that he can't figure out will be solved.
Grandpa is like a bright hit in everyone's life,,
It's like a rising star for humanity."
It's like the Big Dipper, the North Star."
For a time, sycophants flew wildly, and eulogies were flooding.
Leo was very happy now, his chubby face was so happy that the pink on his cheeks was puffing, and the tender flesh with baby fat was bulging.
Those big eyes were even more happy to narrow into a slit.
Leo was finally no longer the tail and heel that always followed Catherine's ass, and was full of annoying tails and heels, or just an errand runner like the Battle of Almohads.
"Now I'm also a member of the command, although the official is still a little bit" Leo's heart was happy, this ruffian finally felt that he was also a person who did great things.
And what made Leo even happier was that Catherine was only in the army as Lorraine's family this time, and she was a real military observer.
Although I can't go out with my brothers, I can go to fight in groups with myself. But in the name of military observers, at least they can shout everywhere, and they are no longer the same as before, except for the cook at home, they don't care what they are doing.
Enjoying the sound of the crowd below, Leo can be said to be happy. My heart is secretly cool: Nicole, the eighth woman has suppressed this young master for so many years, and has endured so many years of hard life, and now she has finally turned over, and she has been able to see the fog disperse, greatly overshadowing her
However, Leo is also the son of the Grand Duke and has seen a lot of the market.
Although his eyes were almost out of sight with a smile on his face, he still tried to make a very reserved appearance, learned Lorraine nodded, waved his hand modestly, and said with a big grin: "You don't need to say that, it's all for work, haha, hahaha,"
It's just that the nose is already radiant and almost up to the sky.
Lorraine watched it, and then understood Catherine's mood when she fined him, this rascal really gave a little bit of yang pool to be brilliant, and it was really hateful to be arrogant to this point, and even he couldn't help but want to beat him twice and hit this ruffian.
He pouted and reminded Leo, "Nicole listens to that later." ”
Leo suddenly remembered that the two Nicole and Adele were listening to the government in the back, don't look at yourself as an observer now, if you get carried away, it will be a good fight if you can't run.
Leo hurriedly straightened his face, sat upright in his seat, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, just mean it, and besides, I'm angry, I'm really angry." People are really going to get angry."
The more Leo spoke, the louder the sycophants of the people below became.
Leo's face began to be bitter, and he secretly said in his heart: It's over, it's over, this Catherine can hear it clearly, and I, the observer, will come to an end.
Lorraine was secretly amused in his heart, but he didn't say anything to stop it in the process. Just watching the play on the side.
After all, most of these legion commanders are newcomers, and they also need to get in touch with the officials here.
If they can really pat Leo on the back. With him as a backer, of course, he will be more loyal in the future, no matter what he does. All of them will do their best. And Lorraine also kept watching the commanders stationed here during the journey, to see if their temperament was strong.
According to Grandpa Wei Baowei's officialdom experience, anyone who can make a sycophant and can make a sycophant must not have much real ability.
When the time comes, when there is a war, it must not be sent out to fight a tough battle.
He watched for a long time, and he observed for most of the day. Seeing that Leo was slapped by everyone's sycophants, he was a little anxious, so he waved his hand to the people below, stopped them, and then raised his voice and said, "Gentlemen, let's get down to business." ”
The officers immediately shut down, and all sat back in place.
Some guys even peeked at Lorraine's expression, muttering in their hearts, was it because they were too excited just now that they slapped the words that should have been used to shoot Lord Luo on Grandpa's body. In the future, you must pay attention when you pat on the back, and you can't use those words on Lord Luo again, otherwise he will hear the same words and feel that he has no intention of patting the sycophants, which will be miserable.
Lorraine knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "The division must be famous, so I have decided that the name of this southern expedition will be,"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled on the wall behind him, and suddenly a few big characters appeared.
"Lasting justice!" The legion commanders were surprised at first, and then they were impressed, look at the ability of others, everyone knows that this time they went deep into the grassland, they were going to grab money, things, and territory, but the name of this operation is codenamed, and if we hang it here, who dares to say that we are unjust?
Which ruffian dares to be so fat, jump out and shout, let's do justice to him first!
Seeing that everyone below looked like they were understanding, Lorraine smiled slightly and said, "As the name suggests, the purpose of our southern expedition this time is to bring the light of justice to the oppressed orcs on the grassland.
They have been squeezed by the evil patriarchs for too long, and we must liberate them with a glorious sense of mission and bathe them in the advanced civilization of the Ruman Empire.
Whoever dares to stop us from bringing justice to the orcs is the enemy of civilization, and we will take justice to him
Before the legion commanders could wake up from Lorraine's righteous and stern words, a faint laughter came from the room behind Lorraine.
Naturally, Catherine and Adele were eavesdropping in the back.
Lorraine pursed her lips and said in her heart: Just laugh. I didn't name it the Free Prairie, which is enough to be face-saving.
Lorraine ignored Leo and the legion commanders and looked at him with reverence, and said, "Let me tell you the most important points of this enduring justice operation. First of all, if it is not necessary, it is strictly forbidden to kill half-orcs indiscriminately, and one qiē action should be based on the principle of preserving the lives of half-orcs
The legion commanders were all stunned, looked at Lorraine in surprise, and wondered if this master was wrong.
Lorraine continued, "I would like to remind you here that this southern expedition is mainly a diplomatic and psychological offensive, and you must first take action to persuade the orc tribe to surrender, and you must cooperate with military deterrence at this time.
If persuasion doesn't work, then you will officially go into battle, but in battle, on the premise of ensuring victory, try to capture the orcs, not annihilate them. ”
Tica scratched his ears and cheeks and said urgently: "My lord, you let us defeat the orcs, we can do this, but we must try to capture them as much as possible, I'm afraid it will not be easy."
Lorraine said: "As long as we don't run into the coalition of half-orcs, our forces will have an advantage, whether it is encirclement or ambush, you can just think of it." Let me remind you here first, our southern expedition is not to cut a stubble of half-orcs and come back, but to turn the grassland into the territory of the empire, and these lands still have to be opened, you kill one more half-orc, and there will be one less farmer in Naian in the future. ”
Lorraine finally said: "Most of the nobles of the empire are waiting for these laborers to open up the wasteland. ”
The legion commanders realized that it was a plundering of the population, and it would have been better to make it clear soon.
General Ferdolis of the Tenth Eastern Legion smiled confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, we Eastern Legion know what to do. ”
Seeing that the generals of the Eastern Army were all smiling and silent, Lorraine suddenly felt in his heart, it seemed that his cheap old man had done this kind of thing, and the provincial troops who were bought by Lorraine looked embarrassed.
"To motivate the soldiers to work hard to capture prisoners," Lorraine said. I will give a reward here, and whoever captures a half-orc captive will not only be counted as a military merit, but will also have a bounty of five gold coins. Killing a half-orc is only counted as military merit and no bonus
The legion commanders smiled bitterly in their hearts, didn't this force the soldiers to go crazy, five gold coins, the salary of the most ordinary soldier for two or three months, to ensure that those soldiers went to the battlefield. None of the orcs I saw were orcs, but golden humanoid wallets.
Leo stabbed Lorraine under the table and said, "Hey, hey, boss, you're crazy, how much do we have to spend to get out."
Lorraine said: "At the station in the river valley, we joined forces with 50,000 and a half orcs, and in the end we only captured more than 10,000 people, and those soldiers and ruffians were stunned to slaughter nearly 40,000 and a half orcs, what a pity." ”
Leo also smashed his mouth, those thousands of prisoners of war, to feed the hard work, the Flying Eagle Group is very comfortable to use, fantasizing about if he has another 40,000 prisoners of war, what the industry can expand into, Leo said regretfully: "It's a pity." ”
Lorraine said: "Living orcs are good orcs for us, dead are worthless, in order to prevent the tragedy from repeating, turn good labor into corpses, even if it costs a million, I will admit it."
