Chapter 688: Rocket Promotion (Asking for Votes)

A delicate white, valuable piece of paper sits quietly in a drawer of the desk, made by the most skilled craftsmen, and of course of great value.

Then the drawer slowly opened. A blinding light shone in from outside.

Immediately afterwards, the white paper was taken out by a white and delicate hand, which was very well maintained, as crystal as beautiful jade, the skin was smooth and tight, the nails were neatly trimmed, and there was no hardened keratin on the hand.

The beautiful hand pinched the paper, shook it slightly in satisfaction, and then carefully spread it on the table.

After a while, an ink-stained quill pen landed on the white paper under the master's control, and danced nimbly.

With the dexterous dance steps of the quill pen, the handwriting of the silk show was revealed as if by magic—"The Captain of the Caribbean City Guard, Lei Luo, is hereby dispatched to report to the Military Office of the Imperial City of Arcaderin. ”

The owner of the hand picked up the paper and looked at it, hummed in satisfaction, and nodded.

Then, at the end, the date was written, and another drawer was opened, and a large seal made of gold lay quietly in the box of the drawer.

The hand laboriously pulled the gold seal out of the box, moved it to the top of the paper, and fell heavily.

Then there was a muffled thud, and when the gold seal was removed, there was a bright red seal with the crest of the Caribbean Port City on the white snow-white paper.

The owner of the hand sighed, muttered dissatisfiedly, and then slowly put the gold seal back in its place.

Immediately, the paper was carefully and neatly folded, stuffed into an envelope, sealed and pressed against the table and slapped twice.

Then a lit red wax was moved, and a large drop of red wax was dropped on the seal of the envelope, and finally, while the wax was still soft, a ring seal was pressed and stamped vigorously in the middle of the red wax.

To be on the safe side, I didn't pick up the ring when I pressed it, but stopped for a while until all the wax drops had cooled.

Immediately, I saw a spider's badge in the middle of the wax droplet.

After doing this, the man exhaled, looked at the sealed letter in his hand and smiled, and threw it into the box to be taken out by the secretary.

Then the man took care of the table and quietly left.

After a certain time, the secretary of the Caribbean City Lord would walk in and take the box full of letters and envelopes. Then, according to different contents, they are divided into secret, urgent, ordinary, etc., and they are wrapped separately and handed over to the messenger who is waiting for them.

Immediately, the secret letter was sent out, and a large stack of important documents were put on a green postal carriage, escorted by several samurai, and swayed all the way through most of the city to the postal office.

There, it was divided. They were crowded together with another stack of important texts that were also printed with insignia, and they were placed in the vault with great importance, and then escorted to the Semitic military headquarters early the next morning by a messenger who specialized in delivering official documents.

It came to the Secretariat first, and after a simple classification by the secretaries, it was once again divided.

In the end, he was sent to the hands of a civilian officer of no lower rank, along with some other literary jiàns.

The officer was already familiar with dealing with these things, and after getting the letter, he first checked the badge and seal of the letter, and then took the letter opener and opened it one by one, and took out the letter paper to be shoddy, and no matter how nice the writing was, he casually threw it into the box on the side.

If nothing else, this is the end of these trips. They would sit quietly in an underground archive somewhere and wait for the ashes to fall, and then one day, when the statute of limitations was up, they would be pulled out and burned.

After all, it is not wartime, and the army does not have so many real shortages to arrange these individual figures, although the above requires officers to be allocated to the grassroots level according to one or two times, but there are still more monks and less porridge.

Just looking for jobs for those nobles' relatives all day long is enough for them to have a headache. These figures, no matter how good they are, end up dying in the local area.

Unless they are on the laps of powerful people and can get their recognition and recommendation, otherwise, this road will not work.

This is Arcaderin's rule, because the government is always short of people who want to be officials, unless there is a war and cannon fodder is needed to send them to death, the bigwigs of the headquarters will not be stingy with their official positions.

In the outside world, many people have speculated about the final arrangement of the Ministry of Military Affairs for those low-level officers who have no background and no backstage.

The most reliable thing is that when the ruffians in charge of personnel are assigned according to the platoon officers, they all nail all the information and letters of those officers to the blackboard, and then blindfolded, throw darts, and choose whichever one is thrown.

It's lucky to be dart, and if you don't get dart, you don't even have this bit of luck, so it's better to stay honest.

This legend has also been passed down in Acaderim for hundreds of years, and although it is not known whether it is true or not, it should be pointed out that in the darts tournament held in the Imperial City of Acaderin, officials from the Ministry of War won all the prizes. Especially secretaries and clerical workers, relying on their dart skills to earn a lot of alcohol in the bar. Of course, people who know their identities will not compare with them, and those rookies who don't understand their identities are often planted in their hands.

The Personnel Department of the Privy Council, which is responsible for the transfer of administrative officers, wins every battle in all the lottery because they rely mainly on the lottery to determine the promotion of officials.

So much so that at the year-end banquet, everyone had to get drunk with the ruffians of the personnel department first, and then start the year-end lottery.

When the officer got Lorraine's copy, he wanted to throw it aside, but when he saw the name, he immediately thought of something, paused, and then looked at it carefully.

He directly crossed the contents of the letter, but carefully looked at the coat of arms stamped on the letter, and after confirming that it was indeed a letter from the Lord of the Caribbean City, he immediately couldn't help but smile bitterly, sighed helplessly, and muttered: "What a lucky guy." ”

After saying that, he threw the letter into the folder marked urgent next to it.

At the same time, he glanced up at the letter, and wondered whether his sister was really a friend of her friend, as she herself said. So I have to help? Or is my sister's own spring heart finally moving?

The yellow-haired girl finally opened her mind and knew that she was looking for a man?

But then he smiled and shook his head.

The young man was from Caribbean Harbor, thousands of miles away from the Imperial City of Akadrin. How could the two know each other?

Maybe it's really the boyfriend of one of her sisters.

But then she secretly thought: That girl has always been rude, and she used to always grab her own braids to blackmail herself.

Although this is just a gesture, but after all, I have helped her such a big favor, and after all, this favor is not the same as the girlfriend who was outside before, is she really no longer arguing indiscriminately, and is going to break out with her own tigress, well, for the stability of her own backyard, this favor still has to be helped......

In the afternoon, those texts marked with expedited processing were immediately moved, and then several people's hands were poured between different departments, and many of them fell in the middle, and many rejoined. There are also many more who have been haphazardly stuffed into their portfolios, temporarily or permanently ending the trip.

But this piece of paper marked with the badge of Caribbean Port traveled unhindered all the way, and in the eyes of those who care, they all smiled slightly and let it go casually.

After many layers of transmission, the letter finally came to the desk of the deputy chief of staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

After a day of official circulation, it was already evening.

Before they could deal with it, they were packed up and taken home by the secretary of the second elder's chamberlain.

The secretary had also been instructed a long time ago and knew what to do, so he immediately singled out Lorraine's Wen Jiàn and put it in the first place.

And there are also several copies of the certificate of meritorious service award, as well as a certificate of graduation from Claydon, Western Pacific, and Pheasant College, as well as letters of recommendation from several college deans.

to prove that this young man is very qualified, intelligent and steady......

From the outside, this set of procedures is very complete and seamless, and after layers of checks and screenings, it is not true, and it has already become true.

But in the eyes of the experienced husband's case, there are flaws everywhere.

You must know that those texts should have been separated by several years, and there should be new and old among them.

But now they were all written in a hurry, and the ink hadn't even dried, and some of them could still smell the faint smell of new paper.

As a result, it was handed over in a hurry.,Although there is nothing wrong with the content,Format and program of the text.,But this fake is still not like it.。

Clerks who were familiar with official business could even tell that the essays had been written within two days, and the slick old officials scoffed at the girl's methods, and if they were allowed to do it, they would find old paper that had been pressed at the bottom of the box for years. imitated the handwriting of the clerk at that time, and then baked it slightly after writing, to ensure that no one could see the old and the new. However, this unique skill will not be passed on lightly, and they will forge various official documents to fill the shortfall, but it is their most profitable means.

Although it is crude, it is enough for these texts to deceive an old man who is dizzy. Moreover, a deputy commander would not care about the appointment of a captain-level officer, he just signed under the string of names casually, and went through a set of procedures, and he didn't even look at the names on it.

Lorraine's wen jiàn easily passed the qualification review, stamped with a red stamp, and was placed in the wen jiàn folder on the side. It reads the list of candidates for the promotion of junior officers.

And the next morning, as the list was uploaded around the meeting, it came into effect.

On the same day, there were a few clerks who delivered the captain's uniform, epaulette and collar flowers, which were equivalent to the captains of the company, to the hotel where Lorraine lived.

Lorraine was amazed to see that in less than four days, he had now become a Semitic and the proudest captain-level officer.

This is simply more powerful than express delivery, and it took 12 days for me to express myself from a neighboring province in my last life.

You must know that yesterday, he was still a blind stream who didn't know anything, and even a security guard with red sleeves on the street could shout and scold indiscriminately. In the eyes of the Akadrine people, it is a dirt bun from the countryside, and it is not surprising that the vision of the residents of the imperial city is high, and outside the third ring road, all of them are countrymen.

And now, he is already a middle- and lower-level officer who eats Semitic money, although he only has an official and no position, but this degree can be called a rocket-level promotion.

Even Leo sighed that the efficiency of those eight women was high, and the managers of the Flying Eagle Group under him could not compare.

And that's not all.

That night, the chief of military staff went home with a large stack of papers, and after dinner, he returned to the office, and when he was working with the lamp, he heard a brisk footstep outside.

He couldn't help frowning, stopped writing, and said secretly in his heart: When he is working, it is strictly forbidden for others to disturb him, who is so bold?

But then the door opened, and a girl with a few freckles on her face walked in.

She held a steaming drink in her hand, and as she walked, she kept shouting, "Hot, hot, hot, hot......"

When the chief elder saw it, his old face changed instantly, and he immediately smiled. No one else is allowed to come in, but that person is absolutely okay. You know, that girl is his most precious granddaughter.

At this moment the girl came closer, put the bowl of drink on the table, and then jumped to her feet, and pinched her hands on her earlobes, and sighed.

The chief couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong with you? If you know that if it's hot, you should let the servant serve it." ”

The girl was furious at the moment and said, "How can this be done? I have prepared it for you." You know? This is an imported product from the Terrans, and it's called Earl Grey Black Tea.

It is said that after drinking, refresh the mind, prolong life, and ah, you will not be sleepy when you work, and you can sleep more peacefully at night, I have inquired for a long time, and then I heard about it, and I also learned the technique of making tea with others, which is very particular. Whoever is drinking that ...... all the time."

'The moon is especially round in foreign countries', and basically, this is also a universal truth.

Not to mention, this thing was carefully prepared by the girl, and the chief immediately felt relieved, laughed, and said, "Then I have to taste it well......

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup, and at the same time, his heart was worried about his work, and his eyes were still glancing at those words.

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but be furious, stretched out her hand to cover Wen Jiàn on the table, and said: "You are going home, even if it is for the country and the people, but you can't exhaust yourself, you have been working all day during the day, and you are not allowed to work at night, so you will accompany me for a day today." ”

"This ......" the chief couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

The girl was immediately furious, ran over in a few steps, and then stretched out her hand and took the old man's white beard, and said in a coquettish voice, "Do you want to go? If you don't go, I'll pull out your beard." ”

The chief was also a horse warrior back then, and his face did not change in the face of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, but the hero was short of breath and his children were long, but at this time, he raised his hands and begged for mercy again and again: "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, you just let me go with this white beard......"

The girl snorted and let go of her hand triumphantly.

The chief sat back in his place and counted with his heart, but now his beard was still torn off, and he couldn't help but feel heartache and was about to shed tears.

You know, as an old-fashioned Semitic man, this mighty beard is the most cherished, usually when he sleeps, he finds a silk belt, and covers his heart, so he sleeps, and when he wakes up during the day, he has to take care of it neatly.

He looked at those Wen Jiàn, and then looked at the side with his hands on his hips, staring at his granddaughter fiercely, and then sighed and said mockingly: "Anyway, there is no war now, and those dog cubs will not be able to die if they delay for a while." I've been busy for so long, and I really need a break. ”

As he spoke, he put those texts aside, then stood up, stretched his waist, and finally followed his granddaughter back to the living room, drank tea and chatted, let her granddaughter thump her back diligently, listen to her tell a few recent anecdotes, and relax for a night.

At this time, Lorraine's copy of the text had unknowingly entered the shortlist of the Praetorian Guard.

Immediately, Nawen Jiàn went out.

Because this article has the signature of the chief adult, and there is the care of someone who cares, it is naturally a green light all the way, and it is very fast. Soon it was hung on the list of new recruits of the Praetorian Guard.

On the morning of the fourth day, another man came to the hotel again in a carriage, and brought Lorraine two beautiful sets of the uniform of the captain of the Praetorian Guard, and the epaulettes were changed to the thunderclouds and lightning characteristic of the Janissaries.

Finally, there was a report letter requiring Lorraine to report to the Praetorian Guard within five days of receiving the notice.

Despite all the harsh tones in Nawen Jiàn, Lorraine knew that she was now a captain officer of the Royal Guard.

Although I don't know if this kind of promotion is unprecedented, at least it is unprecedented.

And this qiē is like a dream, he even stayed in the hotel and did not move, and the matter was done. When I was in Ruman City, I smashed the office of a department of the Ministry of Military Affairs in order to arrange work.

The owner of that luxury hotel, as a giant in the service industry of the imperial city, is also a long-standing man, and the backstage behind it is also extremely hard, but when he heard about Lorraine's promotion, he was also shocked at the moment, and after a little inquiry, he figured out Lorraine's backstage, and personally congratulated Lorraine in person.

You know, this is the Imperial City.

Even if a stray dog is eaten in the imperial city, it has much more identity than a native dog in the countryside.

Even more mention of the captain of the Praetorian Guard, if this is placed in the province, even if it is a change of legion commander, it may not be willing.

This shows how ambitious Lorraine's future is. And he is such a young man, he always speaks well, don't bully the poor young man.

The boss was also very speculative, and immediately patted his chest and exempted Lorraine from the accommodation fee for a few people, because there were Vera and Bai, which was not a sum, and he had to pull Lorraine and ask him to mention a few words on his wall.

He is a good calculation, with Lorraine's promotion, maybe in a while, this young white face may be a general, or even a marshal of the 6th Army. Even if you have qualifications, you can stay up to a high position

If you get an autograph in advance, you can also follow a lot of light. Anyway, the investment is not large, and the return is not good

The boss was too enthusiastic, Lorraine really couldn't shirk it, so he had to pick up the pen and write a few words randomly, but after the shopkeeper looked at it for a long time, he still said: "My lord, otherwise, it's better to keep this word first, what do you think?"

Lorraine looked at her dog-crawler-like font, and immediately blushed, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

A few days later, Lorraine took the report letter, put on her uniform, told Vera that she must take care of Leo and Shiro, and then went to report according to the address of the Praetorian Guard written on it.

He came to the vicinity of the guardhouse, even though he was still far away, he heard a loud slogan from inside, and then the neat footsteps, slogans, and roars continued to sound.

Apparently the soldiers inside were in drill.

Lorraine couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and glanced up at the guard in front of him, and became deeply interested in the toughest enemy in the Patriotic War a thousand years ago. During that period of history, the Semitic Janissaries also left their own prestige.

You must know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a detailed and thorough understanding of their combat training and even their mode of thinking in action.

At that moment, he quickened his pace and came to the gate, only to see that the swords at the door were strict, extremely neat and strict, and murderous.

Although the weather was still hot, the soldiers were all neatly draped, heavily armoured, and armed to the teeth.

They stood straight, just looking through the gaps in their helmets and armors, warily watching everyone who passed in front of them.

As a military powerhouse, the street was already sparsely populated. Coupled with their murderous behavior, the pedestrians who were immediately frightened all risked violating traffic rules and being fined a huge amount of money by the city guards, hid on the other side of the street, far away from the gate of the guard, and then fled quickly.

In this way, it is even more obvious that there is a cold in front of the door.

Lorraine saw it and couldn't help but sigh secretly: it really deserves to be the strongest army of the Semitic race, just by this meticulous posture, you already know how disciplined they are.
