Chapter 715: Dividing the Spoils...... Uh, Dividend Meeting (Asking for Votes)

The crowd smashed ...... Well, in the jargon of the heroes of Liangshan, it should be said that after opening this inspection bureau, all those patrol greyhounds were beaten, and then this can be regarded as returning home.

As the oldest proverb of the pirates goes: 'If you want to be favored, give him a cake, and if you want to be respected, punch him in the nose.'" ’

Lorraine disposed of those patrols with this thunderous method, not only for revenge, but also to deter those enemies lurking in the shadows, and let those puppies know that they are definitely not easy to bully.

While those guys don't cause much trouble, they can be a hassle to deal with once they pounce.

It's better to deter them like this, let them weigh their own weight, and know what kind of fate will happen if they get into trouble with themselves.

It's a very rogue tactic, but it works very well. Every time the inspectors saw the Praetorian guards appear, they all ran away with their tails between their legs. And the forces of all sides have also been dormant for the time being.

The only downside is that when Leo found out about it, he beat his chest angrily because he didn't show up at the time, and he had to drag the brothers to go again, and he planned to set fire to the kennel in the end.

Everyone was frightened and scattered, beating up a few patrols, but it was just a hooligan incident, and if it was set on fire, it would be a criminal case.

They immediately tried to persuade them, but Leo ignored them, turned his head, and went with Shiro.

In the end, it was Lorraine who made him honest: "If you burn someone's kennel, you will be fined"

Leo immediately didn't say a word, and turned back with Shiro. The only requirement is: if you fight again, you must bring me with you

At the same time, the beating and inspection of the inspection bureau by a large group of ruffians and hooligans also stabbed the high-level of the imperial city.

The bigwigs were extremely angry, attached great importance to this evil case, and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

The chief man goes back and forth between the military department and the inspection department every day, and his busy feet do not touch the ground. If it weren't for his new carriage, maybe this old guy would be tired. Sometimes I even wonder if it's worth wiping the butts of the dead soldiers and ruffians for the sake of this new carriage.

However, in comparison, the leader of the investigation team was even more miserable, because he slapped the table at the meeting every day, and he was so tired that his voice was a little hoarse, and he used the golden throat as a meal every day.

"I said that there was no such thing, but no one the fuck said yes, let the girl come. I invited him to tea. Captain Lei Luo, the leader of the investigation team, said angrily.

Because all the doors and windows are tightly closed, the indoor air is very stuffy, and it must not be too comfortable to sit in this kind of room in this kind of weather that is not too cool.

But the room was already full of people, and they didn't seem to care about the environment.

There was only one lamp in the middle of the table, and the lampshade depressed the light, illuminating only the range of the table.

In the dim light, shadows can be seen around the table, but no one speaks, and everyone is silent in the shadows, as if they are all waiting for something.

From time to time, someone would knock softly on the door, whisper a prescribed codeword, and the person inside the door would quickly open the door with a wide slit that could only allow people to squeeze in, pull the person outside the door in, and then quickly close the door.

Everyone in the room was looking at the person sitting in the middle of the table, who raised his head and looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone is almost here, let's start." ”

The man paused, and then said sternly: "The members of this organization have been summoned here today to deal with one of the most important incidents of the year in our organization. ”

Hearing that what was said so formally, everyone moved slightly, some people twisted their bodies uneasily, and some people had a vocal conversation.

The man in the middle said: "Quiet, quiet, the meeting of the committee is strict, now ......"

As soon as the man said this, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the people inside were startled. Someone almost screamed out of his voice.

The visitor looked around and wondered, "Hey, what are you doing? Playing a game of ghost storytelling? Really, you don't even ask me to play with you, it's really uninteresting." ”

The voice was as soft and tactful as a hollow valley lark, and it was none other than Adeling, the first beauty of the Semitic race.

Fiona, who was sitting in the middle of the table, patted her chest, sighed, and said, "Adling, you hooves scared me." Didn't you hear that it was for you to come quietly?"

"Huh?

"Forget it, forget it," Fiona beckoned to Adling, "Come here." ”。

Adeling pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked strangely, "What are you mysterious and secretive, what are you going to do?"

Doresie on the side smiled: "What a bad thing, it's a good thing." ”

Fiona tapped the table with her fingers and said, "The Pink Panther Branch of the Flying Eagle Lightning Company's shareholders' meeting, the first shareholder dividend meeting is official. ”

Seeing Fiona's formal remarks, the girls in the room laughed and fell into laughter.

Fiona glared at them, slapped the table, and said angrily, "You bastards, give me a little serious." ”

The girls laughed even more merrily.

"Fiona, you look so handsome."

"That's it, that's it, come on, ask for a bag*. ”

"Niu, do you want uncle, I'll give you a smile. ”

“......”

Fiona knew that as long as there were no outsiders, these big sisters couldn't get serious.

Fiona raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, ignoring them, then leaned back in her chair, stretched her waist, and said slowly: "This is 240,000 gold coins, if you don't want to share it, then I'll take it first." ”

The room fell silent for a moment, and the girls all stared blankly at Fiona.

"How much?" someone asked wistfully.

Fiona took out a handful of nails and trimmed them with her head down, pretending not to see the stunned expressions of the group of women.

Several girls rushed over and grabbed Fiona's arm, and said in a shaky voice, "Sister Fiona, how much is it?"

Fiona was almost scattered by those men.

She hurriedly broke free from the clutches of those people and said, "Okay, okay, give me obedient and sit down." ”

"Oh"

The girls obediently agreed, and immediately did a good job in their seats like a student.

Fiona stood up with a smile, took out a stack of papers and shook it at the girls, and said, "First of all, this auction was a great success, and all the members of the Pink Panther branch here have made outstanding contributions to it......

There was a xìng Zizi said anxiously: "Fiona, it's not a state council, let's talk about how much money you earn." ”

"Hmm" Fiona snorted, closing her mouth and giving the speaker a blank look.

When everyone saw her take a warp, they couldn't help but be furious, and turned their condemning eyes on the person who had just offended the god of wealth by speaking.

The girl was also extremely well-behaved, and immediately changed her attitude, shaking Fiona's arm with both hands, and said in a greasy voice: "Sister Fiona, I was wrong, you say, do you say it......"

Fiona was secretly happy at the moment, and secretly said: No wonder that ruffian likes to be the president the most, it turns out that this is really fun

Fiona opened the stack of papers and said, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, our auction will earn a total of two million and one thousand gold coins." After deducting costs, operating expenses and reserved payments, the remaining distributable profit is 600,000 gold coins. ”

There was a sound of inhaling in the room, and stars were popping up in the girls' eyes.

Fiona continued: "According to the equity of our Pink Panther in the Lightning Company, it will be divided into 240,000 gold coins. ”

"These two ...... Two...... Two...... Phew" A girl plucked up her courage, but felt that her tongue had somehow kept knotting, and she spat lightly.

Originally, the girls who loved to laugh and make trouble should have laughed at this time, but at this time, none of them laughed out loud.

The girl took a deep breath, and then asked wistfully, "What are the 240,000 gold coins...... It's all ours?"

Fiona nodded heavily and said, "Well, it's all ours." Pure profit. ”

"Yes...... Whatever you want?"

"You can UA casually"

The girls couldn't help but look at each other.

There was silence for a moment, and suddenly a loud scream came from inside the room.

The noise was so loud that the servants in the courtyard had already given birth to something terrible, but they had been ordered not to approach the meeting room, so they could only stop, craned their necks, and guessed what had happened.

Doresie took out a stack of written checks, waved them high, and said loudly, "Sisters, what are you waiting for, let's go and grab them all, ah...... No, it's the buying up of all the designer stores in Arcaderin. ”

"My Chanel Five. ”

"I looked at the bag for four months. ”

"Silk, silk, I'm going to buy silk. ”

"You gang of Jian businessmen wait, this sister will not bargain again this time. ”

"Out of all the flagship stores of the turn of the light to buy all the bags and fashion UA light all the money"

The girls rushed out of the house, jumped into the carriage in a crowd, and rushed as fast as they could towards the business district of Arkadeline.

The servants who were next to them watched the group of eldest sisters rush out as if they were going to war, and it was not until the dust raised by the wheels dissipated that they came to their senses, and they all guessed which blind guy had annoyed the group of aunts and grandmothers.

Because the last time they went out collectively, it was to punish a son who stepped on two boats. drove that poor ruffian out of the circle of nobles in the imperial city alive, and could only run to the countryside.

The girls' carriages ran down the streets, and as they passed through a financial street, they staggered past a group of heavily armed knights.

The knights, all neatly draped in armor and armed with spears and swords, surrounded the carriages in the middle.

Although I couldn't see the expressions under their helmets, the shiny tips of their spears and the unsheathed swords knew that this group of knights was on full alert, escorting something important.

In Arcaderin, it is rare to see an army that is fully armed and looks like it is going to fight, and the girls in the carriage take a few curious glances, only to see that the knights' armor has the emblem of the Praetorian Guard.

A girl pointed to the Praetorian Guard knight, curiously pulled Adling and asked, "Adling, do you know what's going on?"

Adeling looked at the familiar figure passing by outside the window stupidly, was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and said with a gentle smile: "I know there, probably ...... Something good. ”

The cavalry of the Praetorian Guard, assuming a no-go attitude, swaggered through the streets of Arcaderin. As soon as someone approached, he immediately brandished his sword, looking murderous.

In the battle of the Janissaries who made a big fuss about the inspection bureau a few days ago, they have already become famous in a battle, and no one dares to stop them.

Coupled with the bright swords in their hands, everyone was afraid to avoid them, and they all got out of the way, and then stood on both sides, looking at this group of mighty Praetorian Guard knights with strange eyes.

The people of the Imperial City are the most sensitive to smell, and everyone has speculated that something is going on, what is the terrible thing on the transport car, and it is worthy of the Praetorian Guards to face the enemy?

Some people say it's a secret weapon, some people guess it's the secret envoy from Spiritfoil, and some people guess it's a spy from the Terrans......

Amid everyone's speculation, the horse team had already gone away.

The mysterious convoy went unhindered all the way, and soon came to the guard post of the 1st Division of the Praetorian Guard.

The soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly opened the camp gate and watched with eager eyes as the carriage drove into the camp.

On the playground of the guardhouse, although there is no drill assembly at the moment, it is also dark and oppressive, and it is full of people. They all craned their necks and looked out at the gate.

Seeing the carriage drive in and agree, the playground instantly moved.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

"Look, it's back. ”

"It's finally here. ”

“......”

The knights walked around the carriage into the middle of the crowd. Everywhere they went, the crowd automatically moved out of the way. They all stared intently at the carriages, their eyes full of eagerness.

The carriage came to a stop when it came to the high platform of the playground for inspection.

The knights jumped from their horses, then split into two columns and were on guard, and then the crates on the flatbed carriage were lifted up the platform with great difficulty.

Nearly 10,000 Praetorian Guard soldiers gathered in front of the high platform, their eyes wide open, looking at the boxes on the platform.

"Behold, such a big box. ”

"Over there, there are a few more over there. ”

"How many things do you have to have......

“......”

Just as everyone was talking in a low voice, they saw a military boot, a heavy military boot stepping heavily on the wooden box. There was a 'tom' sound.

The chatter of the crowd disappeared like magic. They looked up and followed the boot and looked up.

Although against the sun, they could only see a dark shadow.

But they recognized it in an instant, and that man was the Captain Relo whom they admired and trusted the most.

They immediately reflexed, and they all stood up straight.

Lorraine couldn't help but smile slightly, glanced around the black head in front of her, and then kicked forward with the foot that stepped on the wooden box.

With a bang, the wooden box flipped over.

With a brushing sound, a stream of golden water sloed down from the box.

Under the sunlight, the officers and soldiers gathered in front of the high platform felt their Kryptonian dog's eyes stinged by the light of Jin Sè at the same time.

When they opened their eyes wider, they saw gold coins covering the ground in front of Lorraine.

Lorraine threw up her hands and shouted, "Rejoice, brethren, this money is ours." ”

"Hooray"

"Hooray"

“......”

For a moment, the Praetorian Guards on the playground all raised their fists and waved their arms, shouting happily.

The excited soldiers laughed and hugged each other, screaming and jumping, and some danced on the spot.

Some people even cried happily, and said while crying: "It's been nine years since I was a soldier, and it's the first time I've seen the bonus." ”

Not far away, in the Praetorian Guard Commander's Command Hall, Admiral Hawkes and Commander Thors stood in front of the window, silently listening to the earth-shattering cheers coming from the playground.

Through the window, the Praetorian Guards on the playground could be seen raising their arms and shouting as if they were victorious.

Tors looked at the vague figure on the high platform in the distance, although he knew that five percent of the shiny gold coins in the distance were his own, but Tors still felt uncomfortable, and said a little sourly: "It would be nice if they could train with such care." ”

Admiral Hawkes glanced back, then turned his head and said slowly, "Thor, how is our Praetorian Guard compared to the Praetorian Guard at the time of the Holy War a thousand years ago?"

Commander Thors was stunned for a moment, and said heartily: "Probably...... Some gaps......"

Tors quickly added: "Under the wise leadership of your Admiral, it will not be too bad. ”

Admiral Hawkes snorted coldly and said: "You don't need to pat yourself on the back, that generation of Praetorian Guard soldiers are single-minded, they regard death as home, they are determined, even in the face of more than ten times the enemy, they are fearless, no matter which aspect, we are far worse than the heroes." ”

Thors had a sneering look on his face.

Admiral Hawkes said, "How are we compared to the Praetorian Guards of the Caribbean War hundreds of years ago?"

Tors thought for a moment and said, "This...... We...... I want to ......"

Admiral Hawkes himself said: "In order to resist the human expeditionary force, the Praetorian Guard fought in the most difficult conditions, and did not return home for seven years, and never took a step back unless they died in battle, and the honor of the Praetorian Guard was never stained in any way. We can't compare. ”

Thors looked at the Praetorian Guard on the playground, speechless, he was the commander of the Praetorian Guard who climbed up from the grassroots, he has fought for decades, the Praetorian Guard is still the strongest army in the world, but compared with the Praetorian Guard that left a famous name in the past, there are many things worse.

Admiral Hawkes said, "I have been wondering why our Praetorian Guard has lost the fearlessness and hard work of the past, why have we been stuck in the city of Acadherine all day with nothing to do, why do a bunch of dog* bureaucrats dare to point fingers at us?"

If it was a thousand years ago, no, even three hundred years ago, who would dare to say that the Praetorian Guard's salary was deducted from a copper plate. ”

Commander Thor sighed helplessly, the Praetorian Guards of that year were not so much proud as arrogant, and from today's point of view, the Praetorian Guards of that year were brave and tenacious, which is undoubtedly admirable.

Admiral Hawkes said in a deep voice: "I thought about it for a long time before I realized that it was a soldier's battle. The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were eager to fight, so their morale was high. Whether it is a thief from outside or from within, they are afraid of us. And our current soldiers, there is no fighting **. ”

Toles said: "As long as we train more ......"

Admiral Hawkes interrupted him and said, "It's not a soldier's problem, it's our problem. It's the problem of all these old guys in the military department.

Soldiers are human beings first, sons, husbands, fathers, each of them supports a family, if I can't solve their worries, even their lives can't be stable, how can I hope they can fight bravely to kill the enemy?

To put it bluntly, we have been conceding to the bureaucracy for too long. We thought that concessions would solve the problem, but we didn't expect that every concession would be followed by a new concession. In this way, step by step, we are in today's situation.

We are like dragons with severed wings, bound by them.

Now, it's time for a change. ”

Thors scratched his head and said in his heart: Change?

Admiral Hawkes said: "The order is to go down, today the Praetorian Guard will rest for a day and have dinner in the evening." ”

Thors said "yes" loudly and turned to walk outside.

When he reached the door, Admiral Hawkes remembered something again, stopped him, and said, "Oh, yes. Judge Advocate Advocate General's Office also takes a day off. ”

After the high platform was scattered with gold coins, under the gaze of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, Flying Eagle Lightning Company began its first shareholder dividend.

These big-headed soldiers are extremely financially unaware, preferring drowning gold coins to the thin paper of checks. I feel that these things in my hands are truly my own.

Leo hated their short-sightedness, but he couldn't help it, because when he checked the accounts later, he saw that the ruffians were so scattered that they had to sign the checks. Therefore, in the end, I can only bet this large amount of gold coins.

The people on the stage read the list aloud, and the shareholders ran up to the high platform happily to receive their dividends.

At this time, the Praetorian Guard soldiers below would burst into cheers, not only for the brethren who had received the money, but also because it also meant that they would soon get their share.

Although compared with the major shareholders, the shareholders who bought the shares with trepidation at the beginning, the dividends they received were pitiful, and they could only get seven or eight gold coins, and the most could only get a dozen.

For ordinary Praetorian Guard soldiers, this is also very remarkable, their monthly salary is only three or five gold coins, and they can get as many dividends as a few months' salary at a time, which is enough for these poor soldiers who lead their families to live in Acadera happy fart.

The soldier who got the money in his hand began to calculate, how many gold coins per month, once a month, how much a year, according to this degree, how many years to marry a daughter-in-law, how many years to have a baby, how many years to buy a house......

Although there is not much money after arriving, but all in all, it is very exciting.

Now the family is crowded in dozens of square meters of old houses handed down from their ancestors, even if they become guards, they have to gnaw at the old. And now with this money, if you think carefully, you can still buy a house outside the Fifth Ring Road, although it is far away, and then buy a horse, it will not be solved if you get up a little earlier.

Men, what is there when you are a little tired and tired, so that your family can live well, this is the right reason.

Just as everyone was happily sharing the spoils, these poor ghosts were almost about to explode with joy with those yellow gold coins.

This is money, and you can raise your eyebrows when you go home now. I don't have to be scolded by my wife anymore. I won't beat the child just because he wants a piece of candy. My father's and mother's illness has been delayed for a long time, and now it can be cured, and the leaky roof can also be repaired slightly......

Subsequently, the news of a one-day holiday immediately detonated the enthusiasm in the Praetorian Guard.
