Chapter XIV Meetings
The Heroic Wind and Eagle Legions took the two provincial capitals of Ellis and Entre City, while the Ace Legion of the Lion Legion went straight to Otis City, the royal city of Charlotte. The city of Odis is located in the center of the two provinces, and the lion army also encounters the most resistance, so the two armies of Heroic Wind and Eagle must immediately rush to the aid after taking the two provinces, and break the royal city of Charlotte, so as to truly destroy the kingdom.
"This attack on the city of France was only a springboard, and the other battalions of the 2nd Corps had almost cleared and occupied the surrounding towns, and the corps headquarters had received a message asking us to go to the city of Bimore to join us as soon as possible. The baron continued.
"Beemore City... Whispers suddenly came from the tent, and it seemed that everyone present was familiar with this city, which was the central city of a county and the last obstacle for the Second Legion to join forces with the other legions of the Eagle Legion.
"Are you already in such a hurry? Isn't there still two months left... First Squadron Leader Monte puzzled. At this time, their brigade was still far away from Moore City, and there were at least three or four towns on the way, and as a central city in the county, if the earl's brain was not broken, he must have gathered a large number of weapons, and Monte did not want to fight a tough battle so soon. I believe that the baron does not want to either.
The baron glanced at him, then looked around at the rest of the tent, tapped lightly on the table, and the whispers stopped, and everyone looked at the baron. The baron was silent for a long time, frowned, and finally said in a deep voice, "The country is almost unable to hold on, and the war must be ended as soon as possible." Everyone immediately froze and thought about it.
Baron Kaidozi has people in the royal capital, and naturally knows that although the drought has ended for more than a year, there is a serious shortage of domestic labor, especially young and middle-aged people, the ratio of men and women is about to reach 1:3, and the fields are cultivated by old and weak women and children, although they can barely be self-sufficient, but the army consumption is almost unsustainable, this is only one aspect, population loss, war loss, huge foreign debt, the kingdom of Faustin is only a small kingdom, can not support such a long period of consumption.
Since the baron has told the truth, Monte, as the baron's brainchild, also chimed in, "In that case, we must take the city of France as soon as possible." ”
"The city of Frans is also a baron's territory, so I'm afraid it's not easy to take it without all preparations. Now that it has been decided to take the city of France, the people present are no longer restrained, and begin to deliberate. "Besides, our battalion is still not complete, isn't it... ”
The main content of this meeting was to decide on the candidates for the two squadron leaders in the battalion, and after discussing it for so long, we finally got down to business. But this involved the replacement of official positions, they were only squadron leaders, and they were not qualified to decide, so they had to obey the baron's assignment.
"Yes, there are still two squadron leaders in the battalion, do you have any recommendations?" asked the baron, bowing his head slightly, calmly. This issue has been discussed many times before, but each time it has not been decided, and this time it is necessary to decide on the candidate.
"I think Roma is a good lad and can do it. "The one who spoke was the squadron leader of the third squadron, and he recommended a small squadron leader of his squadron, his squadron was disabled last time, and the deputy squadron leader died.
"How about Jaelsen, a five-year veteran, and his leadership is good. "This time it was the deputy squadron leader of the fourth squadron who spoke, their squadron was even worse, less than a third of them survived the battle of the Fairmer Grand Canyon, the squadron leader died directly, and he is currently acting squadron leader. Now most of their squadron are new recruits, and he urgently needs a veteran to help him lead him, and he recommends people from the first squadron instead of his own team. He also wanted to remove the word "acting", if someone from another squadron came to his squadron as a deputy squadron leader, he was not afraid of being decentralized, and the current squad leader of their squadron was a brother who survived with him, and they all listened to him.
"How about Virginie, a strong boy ... ”
"Gibb, this guy is a veteran, and he has a responsibility... ”
。。。。。。
The six squad leaders in the camp all put forward their favorite candidates, and Joshak of course still mentioned Locke, and his evaluation of Locke is that he is calm and motivated.
"It's all quiet. The first Baron Kaidozi rubbed his eyebrows and tapped the table with his index finger, and sure enough, this kind of scene was the same again, and the previous few times it was also like this, and there was no decision. "This time it's a vote. ”
Sure enough, several people present looked at each other tacitly, and whenever there was a disagreement or a major event in the barracks, if the Baron did not decide personally, and the rest of the people did not agree on it, the Baron would choose to vote. It is said that this is the parliamentary voting system that the baron learned when he was a young student in the Omoor Empire.
A group of big bosses didn't read the fairness and justice of this system, but they thought that the baron was very humane in doing this, and there was no big shelf like other nobles, and the reason why everyone in this camp was very convinced of the baron can be seen.
Voting began with the Will Knight, who was on the left hand side of the baron, and the six squadron leaders proposed a total of six candidates for squadron captain, two of whom were lucky enough to be promoted. The popular candidates are Na Roma and Jerson, after all, they are the people chosen by the captains of the third and fourth squadrons themselves, and everyone here who is familiar with them has to give face, and others are not without opportunities, and Gibb and Rock also have a lot of support.
Will knight abstained as always, in this right change vote, Will knight almost always gave up voting in order to avoid suspicion, the reason is that Will knight is also a nobleman, he is a noble knight canonized by the baron, it is said that the Will knight family has been a retainer of the Baron Kaidozi family for generations, the ancestor of Will Knight was the personal soldier of the ancestor of Baron Kaidozi, and came to Del Province with the ancestor of Baron Kaidozi to work hard.
The family of Baron Kaidozi also lived up to the Will family, making him a hereditary noble knight. I already knew that in order to prevent the division of the great nobles, the Kingdom of Faustin stipulated that the upper nobles could only divide the nobles of the two classes below them, and there was only one quota. That is, only barons are eligible to divide the nobility, although they are the lowest knights. And so on, a viscount can be divided into a lord, an earl can be divided into a baron, and a marquis can be divided into a viscount. Moreover, the aristocratic territories divided by the big nobles need to be paid by the big nobles themselves. Therefore, it can be seen that the Will Knight family has won the trust of the Baron Kaidozi family.
As for the duke, there is no duke in the kingdom of Faustin, hundreds of years ago the kingdom of Faustin was still a small duchy, and the ancestors of the current king were only dukes, so the royal family knew the ability and influence of the duke, and at the beginning of the kingdom of Faustin, the first king of the kingdom of Faustin warned future generations not to divide the dukes.
And the Will Knight family also lives up to the support of the Baron Kaidozi family, almost every generation has a middle-level knight squire-level powerhouse, so that this generation of Will knights has been promoted to a high-level knight squire, and the combat power is amazing.
After Will Knight, it was the Captain of the Monte Squadron who voted in turn until the Vice-Captain of the Fourth Squadron on the right. As for Young Master Sauron, most of the people present habitually ignored him, because Sauron, like the Baron, hardly participated in this type of voting.
Because Locke was proposed by the second squadron leader Joshak, he was the third voter, right in the middle of the six.
