A general's rank is something that many generals can't even get until their hair turns gray. But this young Du Wei was awarded the rank of general at the age of seventeen... even though he did not hold any actual position.
The commander-in-chief does not directly lead the army of the empire like other generals, but this military rank is a real 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!! It has never happened before!!
If this military rank only made people's jaws drop, then the second order that followed almost made people think that the regent was crazy!
Second order:
"In view of the situation in the northwest region, the designation of the Empire's Northwest Army Corps has been cancelled, and a new 'Northwest Independent Division' has been established in its place. The Northwest Independent Division has a strength of 40,000 people, and the division commander enjoys all the same treatment as the Imperial Army Commander. At the same time, the original Northwest Army
The theater was preserved and adjusted, and the Desa province was divided into the Northwest Theater. The original Northwest Theater provisional decree was abolished. The Northwest Independent Division was stationed at Watt Fortress, the former Northwest Army garrison, and was responsible for the defense of the northwest region..."
The order up to this point is considered normal. It rejects the reconstruction of the Northwest Army. The northwest region does not need to station a 200,000-strong army. Instead, it is stationed with a 40,000-strong super-staffed division. It is also barely reasonable. As for the abolition of more than 200,000 troops,
The "War Zone Act" issued two years ago is also expected. After all, that law once turned the northwest into a separatist base for the Northwest Army. In order to prevent the emergence of new warlords in the future, it should be abolished. The original northwest theater had efforts
The two provinces of Lin and Desa are now separated from the province of Nulin, leaving only one province of Desa as the war zone. The situation is also stable in the northwest, and the war zone does not require much consideration.
But...did the regent forget that the province of Desa is the territory of the Tulip Dukedom? Where is the empire's precedent of classifying a noble's private territory as an imperial war zone??!!
And the last few sentences of this command 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 pay, arms and supplies are provided locally by the Northwest Theater. General Andre was transferred from the Storm Army and became the commander of the Northwest Independent Division. The military rank was promoted from major general to major general.
He is a lieutenant general and enjoys the treatment of the commander of the Imperial Corps. At the same time, the military affairs of the Northwest Independent Division are under the control of Duwei Rudolph, the chief of the Northwest Military Affairs."
What does this mean?
Did the regent really decide to hand over the northwest to Du Wei?
Then you might as well call him the "King of the Northwest"!!
What kind of division of the northwest theater, what kind of northwest independent division... do they make sense?
Although the Northwest Independent Division maintains the designation of the imperial army, all military pay, arms and supplies are provided by the "Northwest Theater"? Damn it! This so-called Northwest Theater is Du Wei's territory!
It's like Du Wei is paying to support this army! As time goes by, won't this army become Du Wei's private army? What a joke! The soldiers' salaries are all paid by Du Wei, and of course they will be human beings by then
People are loyal to Du Wei!! Everyone regards Du Wei as their basic necessities!!
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's not a private army?!
Even if the regent continues to favor Du Wei, is it too much to favor him so much? Is he really going to break the soil and become the king? In this case, what kind of division commander does General Andre still have? His military rank is Zhong.
General. But Du Wei is a general! Didn’t he tell everyone clearly that they must obey Du Wei’s orders?
As a result, those who originally worked hard to rebuild the Northwest Army and get a good job in the new Northwest Army had to be disappointed.
Regarding these, the regent's reaction was very indifferent. He did not listen to anyone's opinions at all. He even skipped the formal process of soliciting opinions and issued the order directly. What was even more outrageous was that in front of all those who had quarreled.
The young regent said to them coldly:
"Anyone who wants to object, shut up! I didn't ask for your opinion. I just informed you that this is what happened."
The first two orders had already surprised everyone, so when the third order was issued, everyone simply omitted to stare...
The third order: "Appointment, General Alpai, commander of the fourth division of the Imperial City Jinwei Army, is transferred to the commander of the newly-established 'Thunder God's Whip' Legion and promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. In view of General Alpai's role in the war to annihilate the northwest rebellion.
For his outstanding performance, he was awarded the title of earl (hereditary). Major General Camisillo of the Imperial High Command. He made contributions in logistics planning and planning during the Northwest War. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and appointed deputy minister of the Imperial High Command."
Although this command is surprising, it is not as big as the first two.
Alpa's sister married the regent and was promoted from division commander to commander of the newly formed Thunder God's Whip Corps. After all, everyone knew that this guy was going to become famous. And Kamisi
Luo, as an old subordinate of the regent and an old direct lineage, has a background in the military, and has already followed Robschel into the headquarters before. He is a pawn for the regent to strengthen his control over the headquarters. He is married to Robschel.
After that, his net worth naturally increased, and his appointment as Deputy Minister of Military Affairs was expected, but it was just a few years earlier than expected.
But... all of this, in the end, gave the regent a new nickname.
"The generous Prince Chen" and "the generous regent".
Isn't it?
In the empire, monarchs have always rewarded meritorious officials. How can the regent be so generous? Especially hereditary titles, monarchs are very reluctant to reward them easily! Because what a hereditary title brings is generations.
Inherited titles and land! It is easy to seal these things off, but difficult to take them back!
For example, the Luolin family, a famous martial arts family in the empire, was the descendant of the Augustinian dynasty from the ancestors of the Luolin family. It only created a hereditary earl.
But look at this regent, Prince Chen. He just came to power and was granted the title of Grand Duke of Tulip!
Good now. The military rank of general, lieutenant general, was given away as if wholesale, and the title of earl was also thrown away casually...
Isn’t this considered “generous” and “generous”?
Some people even sighed secretly... This is an era that belongs to young people!
Isn't that right? His Royal Highness Prince Chen, the regent, is only in his twenties.
The Tulip Duke, Imperial General Duwei Rudolf, has a lot of plans, but he is only seventeen years old.
Arpai was only in his early thirties and became the commander of the army.
As for Camisillo, he was only in his early thirties when he became the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs! Think about it, Count Raymond of the Luo Lin family, the previous Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, was already forty years old when he became the second-largest boss in the military!
And General Andre, who is only in his thirties and not even forty, has been promoted to lieutenant general! A soldier at his age is only a major general division commander at most. But he has already served as an independent division.
Commander, enjoy the treatment of the commander of the regiment.
For a time, a joke spread among the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital. Often when people teased each other, they would say: "Ah, Baron xx! What a pity, it's a pity that you were born a few years earlier! If you were born a few years later, it would be better if you were born a few years later."
In this era, I'm afraid you would have been an earl or even a marquis! Ah? Are you a commander now? Alas, if you had joined the army a few years later, you would have become a lieutenant general by now!"
When everyone is talking about the four "new kings" of the empire, be it Du Wei, Alpay, Camisillo, or even Andre...someone has already looked at the four of them.
He became the four pillars of the future "Augustine VII" (Although Prince Chen was not crowned, most people already secretly called him His Majesty the Emperor Augustine VII) dynasty. Especially Du Wei. Many people bet that he will not
You can be named a prince at the age of twenty-five! Although historically only direct relatives of the royal family have been able to be named a prince, but Du Wei became a duke and a general at the age of seventeen, what else is impossible?
And at this moment, a public letter of accusation and accusation was sent to the Imperial High Command!
Duke Tulip, Imperial General, Chief of Military Affairs of the Northwest Theater Duwei Rudolph, and Commander of the Northwest Independent Division, Imperial Lieutenant General Andre. The two jointly sued General Alpay, Imperial Lieutenant General, Imperial Earl, and Commander of the Thunder God’s Whip Corps.
, accusing Alpay of disrespecting military law, massacring prisoners of war, taking military merit, delaying fighter planes, and all other crimes during the just-ended Northwest War!
This heavyweight accusation immediately caused an uproar in the imperial capital!
Immediately afterwards, General Alpay showed no sign of weakness, and openly wrote an official document to the headquarters to defend himself, and counter-sued Duwei and Andre for false accusations!
The four pillars of the future empire are actually at odds with each other and are seriously at odds with each other??!!
The old Prime Minister Robschel was still the Minister of Military Affairs in name only. He held two stern documents accusing each other in his hands. He couldn't laugh or cry...
Sigh... I said, this game of balance has gone too far.
It's really terrible. From the Northwest War at the beginning of the year, to the subsequent quarrel over whether to rebuild the Northwest Army, and now there is such a quarrel. Can't let people stop? I am already over 70 years old, so tossing me like this
I can't stand this old bone.
After all, Robschel was an old fox. He immediately invited the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs Camisillo, one of the new kings who was about to become his family's grandson-in-law.
"Kami, look, what should we do about this matter?" Old Robschel knocked his head and sighed.
Camisillo secretly smiled in his heart, but put on a solemn look on his face, and said calmly: "Business matters, although I have a relationship with Du Wei, but this kind of thing must be investigated carefully! Send someone to take photos of military affairs
The commissioner went down to investigate and sent two teams. One team went to Duke Tulip in the northwest, and the other team went to Thunder God’s Whip to question General Alpay! We must get to the bottom of this matter!"
Robschel chuckled inwardly.
Investigate? Send military commissioners to the northwest? With the temperament of that guy Duwei, he won't bother with these military commissioners! As for Alpai... hum, Thunder God's Whip has already begun preparations to enter the Kaspersky Defense Line! He is busy now
His legs are in the air. If we send military commissioners now, there is no way we can get involved!
One word... drag! Drag this matter on, drag it on indefinitely! Reduce big things into small things, and small things into nothing.
Sure enough, Camisillo looked righteous and solemn, and said sternly: "These three adults are all responsible for the empire, so this is a big deal! We must not let a bad person go, but we must not wrongly accuse a good person! Slowly investigate
, check carefully! You must check every detail! If you can’t check it all in one month, check it for a year! If you can’t check it all in one year, check it for three years!!”
Humph, if the investigation cannot be completed in three years, then it will be investigated in ten years or a hundred years! It would be best to continue the investigation until we are all in the coffin! Robschel quietly added this to his heart.
The two military leaders reached an agreement, and the matter was 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 poor people who are marginalized by their colleagues. Because everyone knows that this is a
Naturally, everyone can't dodge this thankless job. Only these poor guys who are not liked by everyone and have no backing have to bear this hard job to complete this "investigation work" that is far away.
Sure enough, when a team of ten military investigators came to the Duke's Palace, the capital of the northwest Desa province, and asked to see the Duke of Tulip, these poor guys were told that the Duke was not in Loulan City.
Where have you gone?
Military secrets!
When will you come back?
Military secrets!!
Finally, Philip, the administrative director of Dessa Province with a smile on his face, told these poor guys: "You can go to the Tulip Family Army to investigate on your own, and I can write you a warrant. But I remind you that the people involved in the Northwest
The war armies have been reorganized and dispersed after the war, and the soldiers who participated in the war are now stationed in various areas in the northwest. If we want to investigate them one by one, some of them may have escaped."
The commissioners lamented: Do we still have the chance to finish this matter and return to the imperial capital in our lifetime?
