Chapter 11 The Thief Fears
In the previous long wait, Captain Cao had already sensed what kind of dirty water would be under the loose organizational discipline of this department. Captain Cao wasn't even surprised to learn of these guys' dirty work ethic. For Captain Cao, he just needs the two relevant responsible persons to tell the actual situation in person.
In such an imperial state, unequal classes can never be equal. Captain Cao, who came from a highly civilized society, can fully imagine that even a civilized society may not be able to achieve complete equality, and the civilization of this imperial country will only appear more corrupt.
Whether it is chance or coincidence, since you have flowed into this pool of sewage, if you want not to be assimilated, the first thing you need to do is to find out the source of this sewage, and find a way to avoid or even block this source. That's exactly what Captain Cao did.
Loose organizational discipline has always been a tacit set of rules among the leaders of the public security brigade, and a consensus on the responsibilities of some departments has long been reached among the leaders of these major departments.
Anyway, everyone earns less, so it's better to do as much as you want. In times of peace, what kind of chaos can this Sri Lanka be at the feet of the Son of Heaven?
This opinion was put forward by the head of the department, Mr. Powell, and the four captains at that time said that such a statement was very incisive and unanimously agreed.
The unexpectedly death of the previous captain of the Nancheng Brigade in an attack by an unknown person has created a vacancy in this department. And this matter has no impact on this department at all. For the public security brigade that does not do practical things, even if there is one less high-level officer, it will not have any impact on their passive sabotage, at most it can only make the public security brigade more loose and negative.
It is also an undeniable fact that the department is not taken seriously, and it was almost more than a year after the death of Captain Nancheng that the current Captain Cao was replaced. The fact that a position can be vacant for such a long time can also show the attitude of the elites in the upper echelons of the empire towards the security brigade and let it go. The lack of a direct ban on this sector may only be a consideration for the employment of an additional group of low-level civil servants.
If it weren't for the people's petition, this location would have been forgotten for a long time. At that time, when Pedro convened a cabinet meeting, he discussed with his staff at least half an hour on how to place the protagonist of the petition. Many lower-level officials of the Ministry of the Interior were even temporarily summoned to thoroughly investigate whether there were any low-level and vacant positions in Sri Lanka that could give a place for the sensitive protagonists of the petition.
His Majesty Pedro was lucky, and in the end he really found such a sesame position. The Rhine magnates led by Lord Heinsoon the Lionheart also summed up their opposition and finally agreed, after their opposition was rejected. The fundamental reason is also because this official position is not even a fart for them, so they reached a unified opinion with His Majesty the King.
Not too many people know the inside story behind this, and under the strong control of Stern's crown, the craze of petitions came and died down just as quickly. For ordinary people, it is a farce, don't see this as a farce, and won't stand up to explain anything, everyone has their own thoughts and considerations.
The only one who has been affected by this strange arrangement is probably the current public security brigade that has been forgotten and ignored, and is worse than shit.
The only ones who suffered because of this arrangement, in the current view, are the two security captains Dalton and Carl.
After finding out the situation of the department, Captain Cao politely asked the two captains who had provided valuable information to sign and sign the pledge. And the meeting was not over, and under the drafting of Secretary Eliza, another meeting minutes began to be written. Its content is about the problem that has been plaguing Captain Cao and Eliza for a long time, the security officers of the hundred Nancheng Security Brigade who are like undead.
The dirtier inside story was revealed because of this very normal question.
"You dregs of the empire, spitting moths! You are simply lawless! You can even do such a thing!" Secretary Eliza also completely broke out after knowing the situation and couldn't bear it anymore.
Eliza stood up abruptly and slammed the conference table into the sky. The little secretary's full chest was also rising and falling sharply, and Captain Cao's eyes straightened for a while. Although Eliza is young, she also has Tiger blood in her body, and she also has the unique uprightness of a Tiger woman.
"I'm going to report this to the Imperial Court of Internal Affairs!Let you bastards who don't know what shame is all roll into the guillotine!" As soon as Secretary Qiao broke out, there was almost a tendency to be unable to control it.
This made the two captains who did not dare to hide it under the coercion of Captain Cao knelt in the conference room. It's not that they don't want to hide it, the key is that the captain of Nancheng in front of them is really too shrewd and violent, how can they hide it? Even if there is a problem with one word in the sentence of the two of them, they will be pulled out and interrogated several times by this big back, who has been listening carefully, and they are so delicate that they are so frantic that they are mad.
The fact that a hundred members of the security brigade are so mysterious that they are almost invisible is not a trivial matter, and it is impossible for the two captains to cover it up. All the names recorded in the roster in front of Captain Cao were left by the previous Captain Nancheng when he was in power. Every one of them is not in the security brigade now. There are a hundred living people, and where do these two captains come out again? It's like a piece of papyrus trying to wrap the magma of a volcanic eruption, an impossible task.
If it weren't for the fact that the newly appointed Captain Cao did not attract the attention of several other department executives, today's Yiqiē would definitely not have evolved into such an uncontrollable bad situation.
Ignoring Captain Cao, who had not even had contact with each other for such a long time, had already planted the seeds of contradiction between Captain Cao and the original senior management of the department.
In the words of Powell, the head of the department, Captain Cao is at best just a small role that has just arrived. This mention was unanimously approved by the other three captains.
It is worth mentioning that Ballmer is a hereditary nobleman of the Rhine, and the noble title is not high, but the identity of the Rhine is real. Why he was so indifferent to Captain Cao made Captain Cao feel intriguing.
Today's routine meeting of the regular monthly meeting suddenly became the fuse of this ugly truth because of Ballmer's indifference and Captain Cao's rampage!
Of course, these 100 members of the security brigade did not directly cut themselves off because of the unexpected death of the previous captain of the Nancheng Brigade, and followed the steps of their superiors to maintain order in the underworld. Even Captain Cao, who dissolved the curse of the Cursed Land, did not have such a huge personality charm, so what virtue did the former captain of Nancheng have?
Since this is not of much significance, why should it be so complicated? Powell, the head of the department, said that if it is operated a little, this place that is originally regarded as a clean water department may become a good place for fishing with a little oil and water.
Powell is a speculator with a shrewd mind and good guts, which even Captain Cao has to admit. After the unexpected death of the captain of the South City Brigade, without even receiving a single instruction or inquiry from his superiors for two consecutive months, Powell made a decision that had a very far-reaching impact on the department, large-scale layoffs!
Powell's excuse is very simple: since there is one less captain, then it is logical for the law enforcement officers at the lower levels of the department to come to a disruptive reorganization, in the name of convenience and coordination and cooperation with each other.
And in the process of this reorganization, these 100 members who originally belonged to the Nancheng Brigade were collectively defined as not suitable for the existing system of the department due to various strange reasons, so they were all laid off by the public security brigade!
Powell did not inform the higher authorities of such large-scale layoffs. The direct impact of this is that all the salaries of the Nancheng Brigade that are allocated by the Imperial Treasury on time every month have become empty salaries without actual recipients, and then they are divided among the four leaders of the Public Security Brigade according to the ratio of 4222.
This is such an ugly truth, just ask how such a situation can calm down a high-achieving student of the Sri Lankan Military Academy who has just graduated?
Secretary Eliza is a pure-blooded nobleman with a simple mind and integrity, and a hot-blooded young woman who is determined to make outstanding contributions to the empire. This kind of huge* corruption case is revealed in front of Eliza, and her impulsive reaction is as normal as if she was hungry and wants to eat.
These bastards are indeed thieves!
Based on the background of the vigilante brigade, Powell's speculation is undeniable. When will a new captain pick up the baton and recruit a hundred more people temporarily? If you don't even need to change the roster, will anyone come to check that the list matches the names of the team members?
The salary of two silver coins per team member a month is insignificant for a person like Captain Cao who values labor costs. But for ordinary orc civilians, it can be regarded as a very good treatment. Especially for the orc households in the slums, this salary can recruit as many people as you want, and you can make up a brigade in half a day. Get some cheap uniforms and give them them, and the new captain may not know about it.
Even if they knew, what would they do? Will anyone still oppose Powell in this forgotten department? Powell's means of equalizing interests are also extremely attractive to ordinary people, and it seems that it will be easy to assimilate the successor of the Nancheng Brigade.
And after tasting the sweetness of this kind of empty salary, the other three brigades then also found some excuses and more or less laid off some people from their command. It is true that they don't need so many people to maintain order on a daily basis, who made them a group of people who are negligent in their duties?
If the newly appointed captain of the Nancheng Brigade is an ordinary person, Powell may even gather a few old subordinates to have a meeting together, talk about it, and circle the new colleagues to be a dog.
But this new appointment is Captain Cao, so the situation is different. Powell was even approached by the Rhine elite to talk to him, asking him to clean up the new captain of the security brigade in the southern city. Even if Powell didn't know what kind of virtue this new subordinate could have, he would be dissatisfied with the Rhine elites, but there were people behind Powell's back, and he was willing to offer his courtesy.
Powell ignored Captain Cao from the beginning, and even avoided putting on a show. As for how to deal with the relationship between each other in the future, it can be felt from Carl and Dalton that they will definitely not treat Captain Cao as a family.
"Eliza, stay calm. Sit down first and hand the materials to the two adults to sign. "Although Captain Cao also has a gloomy face, he has not lost control yet.
Even such a garbage position has to try to tease Captain Cao, and those Rhine guys really can afford to look down on the small role of Captain Cao.
If you want to play, then everyone keeps playing. Captain Cao has no reason to be afraid.
The vacant quota of one hundred members of the Nancheng Public Security Brigade is a lot of benefits for these bastards, but it is also this huge vacancy that gives Captain Cao a very good idea.
"Why be calm? I don't know if you think this behavior is not enough to get them guillotined?" Eliza was uncharacteristically disagreeing with her boss at work for the first time.
"Of course it's enough!, but you don't need to be so excited, how bad is your body when you're angry?" Captain Cao stole a deep glance at the pretty secretary's violently undulating breasts, quite distressed. The size of the pretty secretary's uniform is completely snug, like a straitjacket, and it would be a pity if the amplitude was too large and it would be strangled.
"I'll pay them back for the money these guys embezzled. And I promise that it won't happen again, how about it, my dear Eliza, for you to keep the signed materials. If I fail to deliver on my promise today, you have the right to submit the materials to the Internal Court at any time. Captain Cao took Eliza's little hand and made her sit down.
"As a devout priest, the beast god once sued me. The prodigal son does not change his money, and those who know their mistakes and can change them often make unexpected contributions in the future, so I want to give them such an opportunity. Captain Cao grinned and looked at the two colleagues who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic.
