Chapter 133
In the 487th year of the imperial calendar, the western hemisphere of the planet Odin is now shrouded in soft night. The imperial palace of the Galaxy Empire, the Xinwuyou Palace, stands under the night sky, and looks magnificent.
This is a great building, surrounded by buildings of various sizes, surrounded by countless fountains, as well as natural and man-made forests, rose gardens, carvings, flower beds, pavilions, grasslands, etc., which are beautiful. The whole building is shrouded in a faint silver light, which looks quite comfortable.
This imperial palace is the political center that governs more than a thousand star systems. Although there are some palace buildings nearby, they are not high-rise buildings, and their main parts are underground. The main reason is that the subjects must not be higher than the palace of His Majesty the Emperor, nor can they overlook the imperial officials from high to low. These behaviors are very disrespectful. Satellites traveling in the sky must not pass directly above the palace.
There are more than 50,000 entourages and maids in the palace. They are responsible for cleaning, cleaning, hospitality, garden management, and raising deer herds every day. They are extremely luxurious, and they also represent the high status and great power of the emperor.
There is no elevator or automatic elevator in the palace, so you must walk the stairs up and downstairs. Because the great Rudolph believes that a strong body is one of the necessary conditions for being a ruler. Just imagine, how can a person who cannot even use his own feet to complete the up and downstairs shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country?
On that night, all the ministers gathered in the "Black Pearl Room" in the palace to hold a staff ceremony for the Imperial Marshal for Count Luo Yankram. Count Luo Yankram defeated the rebel army and demonstrated his authority in the Battle of Yasti, thus winning this honor.
Although the rank of the Imperial Marshal is only one level higher than that of the first-class general, his status is much more noble, with an annual salary of 2.5 million Empire Mark. In addition to committing the crime of great rebellion, all other crimes can be exempted from punishment. In addition, he can also set up a Marshal's Office to freely appoint and remove his needed staff.
Currently, there are four imperial marshals in the empire who enjoy this special honor, and now there are five Count Luo Yankram, who are also the deputy commander of the Empire's Space Fleet. About half of the 18 space fleets in the empire are under his command.
"The Count rises further and becomes the Marquis."
In the corner of this vast "Black Pearl Hall", some people are whispering. Since ancient times, rumors have always been with human beings, no matter what the situation and times are in, no matter where they are located, or on luxurious palaces or on poor streets.
Tonight in this black pearl room, all civil and military officials, royal relatives and powerful officials arrived. They were all arranged on both sides of the red velvet blanket, woven by two hundred workers for four and a half centuries, one was the Wen Palace and the other was the military officer.
Among the civil servants, the first place is Marquis Lidd. He was the acting prime minister of the empire and the highest leader of the cabinet. He had a sharp nose, a yin-eye eye, and a silver-white hair. He was now 75 years old. The ones who stood after the prime minister were Kyle Rah, the Secretary of Finance, Firgel, the Secretary of Internal Affairs, the Secretary of Justice, the Secretary of Science, the Secretary of Science, the Secretary of the Palace, Neugelen, the Secretary of the Cabinet, the Register of the Cabinet, and so on.
The military officers standing on the other side were Marshal Allen Bok, Marshal Stankhv, Chief of the Commander of the Emperor** Commander, Marshal Kraj, Chief of the Cosmic Fleet, Marshal Mükenberga, Chief of the Armored Grenadiers, General Orbresha, General Ramsdorf, General Krama, Chief of the Guards, General Krama, Chief of the Gendarmerie, and Commander of the Gendarmerie, and then Commander of the Eighteen Fleets... etc. Standing at the head of the fleet were General Melkatz and Lieutenant General Favnier. These two generals were scheduled to be promoted to the first level after today's marshal award ceremony.
After hearing the ancient horn sounded, everyone stood up right, everyone was silent, and listened to the archer's shocking voice shouting: "There is His Majesty Friedrich IV, who dominates all mankind, the ruler of the entire universe, the order of heaven and the protector of the laws, and the sacred and inviolable Galactic Empire Emperor, His Majesty Friedrich IV, arrived!"
After speaking, the melody of the imperial anthem started to be played, and the ministers bent down and bowed.
The emperor walked through the carpet, passed the countless people's heads, and sat on the golden luxury dragon chair in the front and center.
"Earl of Xuanluo Yankram, His Highness Reinhart!"
This time, the officials did not salute the most, and everyone's eyes were watching the arrival of this young military officer.
When the noble ladies saw this young man, they couldn't help but exclaim. Even those who were disgusted with Reinhardt - most of the people present had to privately admit that he was a handsome man.
His beautiful and beautiful appearance was like a doll created with the best white porcelain, but the doll's eyes were not so sharp, and his expression was not as strong as his. If the emperor had not favored his sister, Anne Roger, and if he had not given such expression, his relationship with the emperor would have turned into rumors of homosexual love.
Everyone had their own feelings and was inconsistent, and Reinhardt walked up calmly and vigorously.
With the mighty aura of a military officer, he walked to the front of the throne, and was careless inside, but he knelt on one knee respectfully and politely on the outside.
He sets out and waits for the emperor to give orders. According to formal occasions, his subordinates cannot speak before the emperor speaks.
"Earl Luo Yankram! This time's merits are really amazing!" A group of people spoke without any personality.
"I dare not take it! It was completely thanks to His Majesty's great blessing!" Reinhardt's answer was also very unindividual, but it was the result of his secret calculations and self-control. The other party could not understand this disobedient theory, and it would only make everyone around him feel disgusted. For Reinhardt, the importance of the emperor was as light as a feather, and what was really important was the piece of paper passed down by the host.
"The Yasti Star Field has made great contributions to the fight against the rebels. Ru, Earl Reinhart von Royenkram, was promoted to the Imperial Marshal and served as deputy commander of the Imperial Space Fleet. Half of the space fleet belong to your command. On March 19, 487, the Galactic Empire Emperor Friedrich IV."
Reinhardt stood up, stepped on the stairs, and respectfully received the order of office. Finally, he was given a stick to the marshal. From this moment on, Reinhardt von Royenkram officially became the marshal of the empire.
Reinhardt smiled brightly on the surface, but he didn't feel satisfied in his heart. Because, this was just a small first step on his way toward his goal! He finally gained power from the incompetent person who took away his sister!
"Oh! Twenty-year-old Marshal!"
The person who murmured in a low voice was the Armored Grenadier Director, the first-class general of the Armored Grenadier. He was nearly fifty years old and had a strong body. His left cheek bone was hit by the laser light shot from the Allied forces, and his scars were fresh and purple. He deliberately did not heal the wound in order to show others that he was a fierce general who had experienced many battles.
He deliberately incited half of the general under his command to be stolen by Reinhardt.
Marshal Mükenberga, the commander-in-chief of the space fleet, raised his eyebrows slightly. "You are good at speaking, but the military talent of that blonde boy is indeed undeniable! Now, he has defeated the rebels, and with such skills, Melkatz, who has experienced many battles, has nothing to say!"
"You can see his teeth are being pulled out."
Everyone looked at Merkats, who was standing quietly among the military officers, and Ovresha attacked him mercilessly.
"Although we won, it was only once, so it was just a coincidence! In my opinion, it was purely because the enemy was too incompetent! No matter what the outcome was, victory or defeat was the same!"
“It’s too loud!”
Although the Marshal rebuked him, he did not deny the content of the speech of the first-level general. For generals and officials who were from great nobles or very old, it was not easy to ask them to accept Reinhardt's merits with lenientness! But "people are in the world and cannot help themselves", the Marshal felt that it was necessary to change the topic.
At this time, the voice of the emcee sounded again: "General Villib, Yushim, von Melkatz, and Gong made contributions to the attack on the rebels in the Yasti Star Field. He was promoted to a first-class general. On March 19, 487, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, Friedrich IV."
Merkatz walked up to the front calmly and knelt down on one knee. The ceremonial took off his rank of general, picked up the rank of first-class general from the tray on one side and put it on for Merkatz. The veteran stood up and saluted the emperor, and then retreated to his own rank.
"Virgin Favnier, Lieutenant General Rudolf von Favnier, was a member of the Yasti Star Domain to attack the rebels. He was promoted to general. On March 19, 487, the imperial calendar." The master shouted out the last edict in his hand.
Favnier left the ranks of military officers, and his handsome appearance attracted many noble ladies. As for the rumors that he "has a prodigal son who has no lower limits" and "loves to visit low-level brothels" and other rumors do not seem to be anything to these noble ladies... but this guy has never teased any noble ladies before...
The tall figure knelt down on one knee, waiting for the emcee to take down his rank of lieutenant general. At this time, the emperor on the golden throne said, "You are a wonderful person, and you are looking forward to the struggle of the Qing family in the future."
"The subordinate is afraid!" Favnier was still saying such uncontrollable words in a slick voice, but the emperor laughed even more happily.
This time, the first-level general of Ovresha didn't say anything to Marshal Mükenberga, and the three marshals had almost the same toothache. The other great noble officers also had a look like a bug. They could clearly hear in their whispers: "This bastard is actually an admiral! The face of the empire is over!" and so on.
Seeing the general's rank hung on his shoulder, Fafnier couldn't help laughing after standing up and saluting. At the same time, he gestured to his old friend, Chief of Staff, Major General Gustav Von Sotkehaojian. Immediately, an official who was picking up the rules came out and said, "Vissue Rudolf Von Favnier was in disgrace in front of him! He should be punished!"
"Hahaha, forget it. Today is a happy day. I said, let it go today."
The music sounded again in the "Black Pearl Room". This is an ode played by the military officer who made great contributions - "Wang Ergule's applause for the warriors."
Colonel Ziegfei Gilfiece and other deputy palace-level soldiers were waiting in the "Amethyst Room" across a wide corridor.
Gilfieith, who is neither aristocrat nor a general, is not qualified to enter the "Black Pearl Room". However, in the past two days, he will skip the brigade general and become a major general, establishing his status as the title of "His Excellency". At that time, he will also have a foothold in this magnificent ceremony.
Whenever Reinhardt goes to the next level, he also goes up and advances... Gilfies's body trembles slightly. Although he does not deny that he has talent, the speed of his promotion is indeed too fast. He can't help but feel fear and fearful about whether his strength meets the requirements of this position!
"It's Colonel Ziegfei Gilfiece!"
Someone beside him shouted in a low voice.
A senior officer in his early thirties stood in front of Gilfiece. The badge class was the colonel. He was tall, his black hair mixed with a little white hair, his light brown eyes, and his skin was blue and white.
"Yes! Who are you?"
"Col. Barr von Obestein! Fortunately, I've met!"
While speaking, the man named Obestan shot a strange light in his eyes, which made Gilfiece gasp.
"I'm sorry!..." Obestan muttered. Because, he noticed Gilfiece's expression.
"The fake eye looks a bit malfunctioning, which scares you. Sorry! I'll replace it tomorrow!"
"It's a fake eye! No! I'm just rude..."
"Please don't take it to heart! The photosensitive computer is installed inside. Thanks to it, I can move freely, but the lifespan is too short..."
"Are you injured on the battlefield?"
"No, it's just like this! If I were born in the era of Emperor Rudolph, I might have been sentenced to death for the 'exclusion of inferior quality legacy factors'!"
His voice vibrated in the air and it took him a long time to settle down. Gilfiece took a deep breath.
He criticized Rudolf the Great and obviously committed the crime of disrespect!
"You have a good commander! Colonel Gilfiece!" said Oberstein, his voice slightly raised, but he still seemed to be muttering himself. "The so-called good commander is someone who can only be able to perform his subordinates. Looking at the current emperor, there are very few such bosses. However, Lord Luo Yankram is different. He is not as frivolous as a young man, but he seems very mature and steadfast. Those powerful nobles with only clan consciousness in their heads may be difficult to understand him..."
A warning signal of a "trap" flashed in Gilfiece's mind. This man who claimed to be Obestan was not sure that he was not a puppet manipulated by the guys who coveted Reinhardt's downfall.
"Which unit do you belong to?"
He changed the subject as if nothing had happened.
"So far, I am in the Intelligence Processing Department of the Commander Headquarters, but I will be ordered to serve as a staff member of the fleet of the Isherlen Fortress!" After answering, Obestan smiled slightly. "You seem to be wary!"
In an instant, Gilfiece, whose face turned pale, was speechless. At this time, Reinhardt walked in and the ceremony seemed to be over.
"Gilfiece! Tomorrow..."
He said loudly, observing the man next to his subordinates with a blue face.
Obestan saluted and signed up, and after a formal congratulations, he turned around and left.
At this time, two generals also walked out of the "Black Pearl Room". General Favnier and his chief of staff and old friend Major General Shuttkehaojian walked out of the room at the same time. While walking, they were still discussing fiercely about which brothel to go to to have a super unblocked celebration and other low-level topics. After coming out, they saw Reinhardt and Gilfieas. General Favnier took the lead and said: "Salute to the Marshal! Hehehe, do you want to go together..." He made a gesture of his index finger moving forward and back in the circle formed by the thumb and index finger of the other hand. Major General Shuttkehaojian laughed completely without any image and saluted at the same time.
Reinhardt's handsome face turned red with anger. He was surprised at the unscrupulous and unlimited person's limits, and deeply admired his courage. "He dared to make such an extremely obscene and evil joke with the marshal..."
"Please pay attention to your words! Your Excellency Favnier!" Gilfies said sternly. This shocked Reinhart. He was a friend who was very generous and friendly on weekdays and had almost never seen him get angry. It is rare to be angry by the two rogues in front of him.
Admiral Favnier was not a subordinate of Reinhardt. The nine imperial fleets under the command of Reinhardt did not include the 17th Fleet composed of 12,000 warships under the current jurisdiction of Admiral Favnier. Therefore, in the end, he had to punish Admiral Favnier for "disrespect to superior officers" and was almost set for lieutenants. He fined him a sum of money.
The most pleasant reward for Favnier, who was promoted to the Admiral, was that his personal flagship, the Rocky, was finally completed. The warship that was originally scheduled to be available last year, was not completed until he set out to carry out the Battle of Yasti. By the time he completed the acceptance and commission, it was already on his way back to victory.
When a lower-level noble officer from the Ministry of Affairs came to "give" the warship to General Favnier's flagship on behalf of the emperor, the guy completely tore off the evil of the imperial nobles' fear of face. Generally, in this case, the transferee usually buys a valuable work of art to give it to the officer as a thank-you gift. Favnier directly took out a suitcase and threw it to the officer, which made people laugh and cry.
He went to the military port with joy to appreciate his personal flagship: the William Minna-class large fleet flagship "Loki", which is 1161 meters long, 241 meters wide and 337 meters high. From the appearance, it is a giant version of a standard battleship. The head of the ship is equipped with 16 30 cm caliber neutron beam cannons and 4 30 cm caliber rail cannons, covered with heavy armor, and equipped with four large thrusters. Since it is the latest ship of the Wilhelm-class, it was specially strengthened under the requirements of Admiral Favneil on the armor and defense field, and some technologies developed from "Bern Hill" were adopted, so the ship's defense is better than the prototype ship - the cost is also higher. The nuclear fusion furnace, which uses some technologies on "Bern Hill", has been improved with stronger output, and the large thruster has also been improved, making the ship's defense stronger, making the ship's defense stronger, and the output is also improved.
The maneuver power did not decrease after increasing the defense and armor. Instead, it increased slightly due to the requirement of Admiral Favnier - removing half of the aircraft's carrying capacity. Admiral Favnier's other personal requirement was to modify the originally luxurious commander's cabin, reduce the area of the room, and only retain the bedroom, study, bathroom, living room and lounge. However, the kitchen and cold storage specially prepared for the commander's personal food were strengthened... Due to the above requirements, the defense and maneuver power of this Wilhelmina-class flagship were strengthened, and the carrying capacity was weakened half. The extra space strengthened the self-sustaining power of the warship, making the combat duration of this warship longer than the prototype ship, and the command power was also strengthened because the extra space could carry more communication equipment.
Favnier asked the staff to paint according to his requirements in the dock. Three days later, "Call Favnier, this bastard, immediately!" The roar of Marshal Mükenberga, commander-in-chief of the space fleet, almost collapsed the ceiling. At almost the same time, "Favnier, this bastard boy! Take him over immediately!" Marshal Allen Bock, secretary of military affairs, was also roaring.
Favnier was brought into the Marshal's office by Marshal Mukenberga's guards, and roared with anger: "Favnier! You maggot! It's simply the biggest shame of the Emperor* team! No! You are already the biggest joke and shame in the army!..."
The officers outside dared not listen anymore, and they asked each other what military rule General Favnier had violated made the marshal so furious.
"Oh, the Admiral drew a 'the largest naked woman in the universe' on his personal flagship. This is his own words, 'Who is the Emperor's team there is no woman!' And just now the Marshal inspected the fleet on standby in the dock, and just saw and heard the Admiral making a fuss to others. So he angered the Marshal..."
Marshal Mükenberga's roar lasted for half an hour, and then stopped roaring in front of Marshal Alan Boke's troops who were ordered to take him away, and asked someone to sneak Favnier to Marshal Alan Boke's military affairs office.
Marshal Allenbok also roared for more than 45 minutes, and in the end the two marshals unanimously decided: "General Favnier, be confined for one week! The patterns on the flagship must be washed away!" There is no rule in the Emperor's Rules that the fleet commander is not allowed to paint naked women on the flagship, but Favnier has committed such "non-existent military rules" over the years, so he became the first general in the Galaxy, and used no reason to lock up the confinement that only lieutenants and soldiers for a whole week.
Chapter completed!
