For the rank of admiral, I don't know how many generals can't get it until their hair turns gray. But this young Du Wei, who was only seventeen years old, was awarded the rank of general... Although he did not serve as the actual commander-in-chief, nor did he directly lead the army of the empire like other generals, but this rank was A true general of the empire! Becoming a general at the age of seventeen is already an anecdote.
Becoming a general at the age of seventeen is an anecdote throughout the ages! ! Never before! !
If this military rank just made people's jaws drop, then the second order that followed almost made people think that the regent was crazy!
The second command:
"In view of the situation in the Northwest region, the designation of the Imperial Northwest Legion was revoked, and a new Northwest Independent Division was established to replace it. The Northwest Independent Division has a staff of 40,000, and the commander of the division enjoys all the treatment equivalent to the commander-level of the Imperial Army. At the same time, the original Northwest Theater is preserved. And make adjustments, Desa Province is divided into the Northwest Theater. The original Northwest Theater temporary decree is abolished. The Northwest Independent Division is stationed in the Watt Fortress where the Northwest Army was stationed, and is responsible for the defense of the Northwest... "
The order here is still normal, and the reconstruction of the Northwest Army is rejected. There is no need to station another 200,000 army in the Northwest, and it is barely reasonable to station a 40,000 super-manufactured division instead. As for the abolition of the "war zone decree" more than 20 years ago. It is also expected. After all, the decree once made the Northwest a separatist regime of the Northwest Army. In order to prevent new warlords from appearing in the future, it should be abolished. The original Northwest War Zone consisted of two provinces, Nulin and Desa. Now Nulin Province has been separated, leaving only one province, Desa Province, as the war zone. It is also in the northwest where the situation is stable, and the theater does not need to be considered too much.
But... Could it be that the regent has forgotten that the Desa Province is the territory of the Duke of Tulip! Is there any precedent for the empire to designate a noble's private territory as an imperial war zone? ? ! !
And the last few sentences of this order are enough to make everyone unable to even sigh.
"... The Northwest Independent Division is responsible for the defense of the Northwest and is not responsible to the Imperial High Command. All military supplies and supplies are provided locally by the Northwest Theater. General Andre was transferred from the Storm Legion and took up the Northwest Independent? Lieutenant general, special order to enjoy the treatment of the commander of the Imperial Army, the military affairs of the Northwest Independent Division J Qi Yang, the chief of the military affairs, Du Wei Rudolf, the chief of the military affairs.
What does it mean
Did the regent really decide to hand over the Northwest to Du Wei
Then you might as well make him a "King of the Northwest"! !
What is the division of the Northwest Theater, what is the Northwest Independent Division... Does it make sense
Although the Northwest Independent Division maintains the designation of the imperial army, all the military supplies, military supplies and supplies are provided by the "Northwest Theater"? hell! This so-called northwest theater is Du Wei's territory!
It is equivalent to Du Wei paying to support this army! It's been a long time. Didn't this army become Du Wei's private army? What a joke! The military pay of the officers and soldiers is from Du Weifa. At that time, of course they will be loyal to Du Wei! ! Everyone regards Du Wei as his parents! !
There is also "Military affairs are controlled by the Chief of Military Affairs of the Northwest Theater Command"... This is even more speechless.
This independent division received Du Wei's military salary, and then was controlled by Du Wei... What is it if it is not a private army? !
Even if the regent favors Du Wei again, it would be too much to trust him so much, right? Is it really going to crack the soil to become the king? In this way, what kind of division commander will General Andre still be? His military rank is lieutenant general, but Du Wei is general! Didn't you tell everyone clearly that you must obey Du Wei's orders
In this way, those who originally worked hard to gain camp. Trying to rebuild the Northwest Army. And those who got a good job in the New Northwest Army Corps had to be disappointed.
For these, the regent's reaction was very indifferent. He didn't listen to anyone's opinion at all, and he even skipped the pretentious process of soliciting opinions, and issued orders directly. What's more, in front of all the ministers who had been arguing endlessly, the young regent said to them coldly: "Shut up all those who want to object! I didn't ask your opinion, I just informed you, That’s all there is to it.”
The first two orders had surprised everyone enough, so when the third order was issued, everyone simply omitted to stare...
The third order: "Appointment, General Alpay, the commander of the 4th Division of the King's City Near-Wei Army, will be transferred to be the commander of the new Thor's Whip Legion, and he will be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. In view of the outstanding performance of General Alpay in the war of annihilating the rebellion in the Northwest Performance, awarded the title of Earl (hereditary). Major General Camisiro of the Imperial Command, who made great contributions to logistics scheduling and planning during the Northwest War, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General, and was appointed as the Deputy Minister of the Imperial Command."
Although this order is surprising, it is not as good as the previous two.
Alpay's younger sister married the Regent, and it was nothing to be promoted from the head of the division to the head of the newly formed Thor's Whip Army. After all, everyone knew that this guy was going to be very popular. And Camisiro, as an old subordinate of the Regent King, has a background in the army, and has joined the High Command with Robuschell before, and is a chess piece for the Regent to strengthen his control over the High Command. After marrying Robeschell, his social value naturally rose, and it was expected that he became the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, but it was a few years earlier than expected.
But... all of this, in the end, gave the Prince Regent a new nickname.
"The Generous Prince Chen" "The Generous Regent
is not that right
Throughout the history of the empire, how could the monarch's rewards for meritorious officials be as generous as the regent? Especially for things like hereditary titles, the monarch is very unwilling to award them easily! Because of a hereditary title. It is the title and land inherited from generation to generation! It's easy to seal these things out, but hard to get them back!
For example, the Luo Lin family, a well-known military family in the empire, was founded by the ancestors of the Luo Lin family in the Augustinian dynasty. It's just a hereditary earl.
But look at the Prince Regent, Prince Chen? As soon as he came to power, he sealed a tulip grand duke!
It's good now. The rank of admiral and lieutenant general was given away as if wholesale, and the title of earl was also thrown out casually...
Isn't this considered "generosity" and "generosity"
Some even sighed secretly... This is an era that belongs to young people!
is not that right? His Royal Highness Prince Chen, the regent, is only in his twenties.
Duke Tulip, Admiral Duvey Rudolph of the Empire, who is only seventeen years old, has done his best.
Alpay was only in his early thirties, and he became the commander of the legion.
And Camisiro became the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs. Only in his early thirties! Think about the former Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, Earl Raymond of the Luo Lin family, who was already forty years old when he became the number two leader of the military!
And that General Andre was only in his thirties. Less than forty. Also promoted to lieutenant general! At his age, a soldier is at best a major general and division commander. However, he has already served as the head of the independent division and enjoys the treatment of the head of the army.
For a while, a joke spread among the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital. Often when people teased each other, they would say: "Ah, Baron XX! It's a pity, it's a pity that you were born a few years earlier! If you were born a few years later. Hurry up In this era, I’m afraid you would have been an earl or even a marquis long ago! Huh? You are now a commander? Alas, if you joined the army a few years later, you might be a lieutenant general now!” The four “newcomer kings” of the empire "when. Whether it's Du Wei, Alpay, Camisiro, or even Andrea... Some people have already regarded the four of them as the future "Augustin VII" (although Prince Chen has not been crowned, but Most people have secretly called him His Majesty Emperor Augustine VII) the four pillars of the dynasty. Especially Du Wei, many people bet that he would be crowned prince before he was twenty-five! Although only the immediate family members of the royal family have always been able to be crowned princes, Du Wei became a duke and general at the age of seventeen. What else is impossible? And at this time, a public report and accusation letter was sent to the Imperial High Command!
Duke Tulip, Admiral of the Empire, Du Wei Rudolph, Chief of Military Affairs of the Northwest Theater, and Lieutenant General of the Empire, Andrea, the head of the Northwest Independent Division, jointly sued the Lieutenant General of the Empire, Earl of the Empire, and General Alpay, the head of the Whip of Thunder. , Accusing Alpay of disrespecting military law, massacring prisoners of war, impersonating military merits, delaying fighter planes, etc. in the just-concluded Northwest War!
This heavyweight accusation immediately caused an uproar in the imperial capital!
Afterwards, General Alpay immediately showed no sign of weakness, openly submitted an official document to the headquarters to defend, and countered Du Wei and Andre for false accusations!
The four pillars of the empire in the future are actually in the same situation and are seriously at odds? ? ! !
The old Prime Minister Robeschell is still the Minister of Military Affairs in name, holding two official documents in which he accused each other, with harsh words, he couldn't laugh or cry...
Alas... I said, this game of balance is too much.
It's terrible, from the Northwest War at the beginning of the year, to the quarrel later on whether to rebuild the Northwest Army, and now there is such a commotion again. Still let people stop? My old man is over seventy years old. I can't bear to toss my old bones like this.
After all, Rob Schell is an old fox. He immediately invited the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs Camisiro, the newcomer Wang Zhikan who will soon become his family's grandson-in-law. What should we do about this matter? "The old Robeschell knocked his head and sighed.
Camisiro secretly smiled inwardly, but with a stern look on his face, he said indifferently: "It's business, although I have friendship with Du Wei, but this kind of thing must be carefully investigated! Send someone to take pictures of military affairs The commissioner went down to investigate and sent two teams, one to the Northwest Tulip Duke, and the other to Thor's Whip to ask General Alpay! We must investigate this matter to the bottom of it!"
Robeschel secretly smiled.
investigation? Send a military commissioner to the northwest? With that guy Du Wei's temper, he wouldn't like these military commissioners! As for Alpay... Hmph, Thor's Whip is already preparing to enter Kaspersky's line of defense! Now he is busy with all four feet in the sky, and now he sends a military commissioner, and he can't get in at all!
One word... drag! Delay this matter, indefinitely! Turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing.
Sure enough, Camisiro had a righteous face, and said righteously: "These three adults are all important to the empire, so this is a big deal! We must not let a bad person go, but we must not wrong a good person! Check slowly , Check carefully! Be sure to check every minute and every detail! If you can’t check it out in a month, check it out for a year! If you can’t check it out in a year, check it out for three years!!”
Hmph, if you can't finish the investigation in three years, let's do it in ten years, a hundred years! It's best to check until we all go into the coffin! —Robschel quietly added this sentence in his heart.
The two leaders of the military have reached an agreement, and this matter has been decided. Subsequently, the military dispatched more than 20 military commissioners to the northwest and north. It has to be said that these more than twenty military commissioners are destined to have a tragic fate. Most of these people are very unsuccessful in the headquarters, and are even pitiful people who are squeezed out by their colleagues. Because everyone knows that this is a thankless job, and naturally no one can dodge it. Only these poor guys who are not liked by others and have no background have to take on this drudgery to complete this long-awaited "investigation" work" went. When a ten-member military investigator team came to the Duke's Mansion, the capital of the Desa province in the northwest, to see Duke Tulip, these poor fellows were told that the Duke was not in Loulan City.
Where did you go
Military secret!
When are you coming back
Military secret! !
In the end, Philip, the smiling Desa Provincial Chief of Administration, told these poor guys: "You can go to the Tulip Family Army to investigate by yourself, and I can write you a warrant. But to remind everyone, participating in the Northwest The army of the war has been dismantled and reorganized after the war, and the soldiers who participated in the war are now scattered and stationed in various areas in the northwest. If you want to investigate one by one, some of them will run away."
The commissioners lamented: Is there any chance in our lifetime to finish this matter and return to the imperial capital
The future is bleak
