Extraordinary: Start with owning the system

Chapter 404 Powell's Compromise

The atmosphere in the entire conference room was full of gunpowder. The tit-for-tat confrontation between Army Secretary Nick Carr and Defense Secretary Powell made other generals in the military feel an unusual feeling.

Especially at such a sensitive moment, logically speaking, although Nick Carr would not be responsible for the entire attack, he would at least make some gestures, such as taking the blame and resigning. kind of guarantee.

Powell tapped on the table lightly, and said expressionlessly: "Whether it is an internal traitor or a foreign invader, I have ordered the Silver Hand and MI[-] to investigate, and we laymen should not point fingers."

These words were simply accusing Sang Huai of saying that Nick Karl was a layman, but before Nick Karl could refute, Powell suddenly threw out another shocking news.

"It is reported that the shadow of the activities of the Freedom Army has been found in Sugar Gray County of our country, and its leader is Wallace who has disappeared for ten years."

"Hiss! It turned out to be Wallace. Isn't he already dead? How could he be resurrected again?"

"I'm afraid there will be trouble now. It won't be Wallace who attacked the First Legion. He also has good reasons."

"It's hard to say. The three Jelov airships haven't been found yet. I'm afraid those barbarians in Sugar County don't have such IQ at all. Their heads are full of muscles."

Everyone talked a lot, and many people's eyes showed inexplicable emotions such as doubt, worry, and anger.

Sugar County was not part of Ingray 200 years ago. It was an independent kingdom of Sugar Gray, which was later unified by King Arthur and renamed Sugar County.

The people of Sugar Gray County are full of rebellion. When King Arthur disappeared, he rebelled immediately. Although he was suppressed many times in the past 200 years, every few years, a new generation of young people will grow up and rebel immediately.

The most serious rebellion was the Sugar Gray County militia led by Wallace ten years ago. It once hit the outskirts of the capital of Ingray, and was finally defeated by the First Army and its whereabouts are unknown.

At that time, the commander of the First Legion was Lance, the son of Isabella of the Lance family, and the current chief of staff was the current crown prince Richard. The two showed amazing military talents, not only Suppressed the rebellion and expanded the territory of the mainland by a fifth.

If it weren't for the French Empire and some other countries who were worried about directly bordering the Ingrey Empire and triggering a world war, and forcibly intervened in mediation, I am afraid that with the terrorist attack power of the First Legion at that time, it would be hard to say what the current situation of the Ingrey Empire would be.

Nick Karl's eyes were as cold as icebergs, and he clasped his hands together, and said slowly: "The Freedom Army is just a group of clowns. They were able to defeat them back then, and they can still do it now."

"Hehe... It was this group of clowns that split the Farland Empire. Back then we had the First Legion and General Lanster, but now we have nothing." Powell unabashedly lifted the bloody scar , let everyone recognize the reality.

After hearing the name Lancet, Nick Karl's hands trembled involuntarily, and said in a deep voice, "How did Lanster die? I think you should know it!"

His emotions are like a volcano about to erupt, and almost everyone can feel this suppressed anger.

Powell said coldly: "I also regret the death of General Lancet. There is no evidence that the death was caused by a conspiracy. Please General Nick Carr not to create tension in the current situation. The situation in the empire is still very difficult to control. .

What I want to say is that although the First Army was destroyed by the attack and General Langster is gone, the most urgent task is to reorganize a local army as soon as possible. "

"Hehe, your fox tail is finally showing, the local army? Without Lanster, the local army is no different from a group of ducks. Expect these people to counter the rebellion? They wouldn't have been sent to the suburbs in the first place." Nick Carr said sarcastically.

This made many generals turn red. After all, they were among the people who lost the battle. However, as the Minister of War, Nick Karl was their immediate boss, and no one dared to stand up and refute.

Powell smiled slightly and said: "Although General Lanster is gone, Crown Prince Richard, the chief of staff, is still there. Besides, I think that as long as there is a good strategic plan, another general can still replicate the victory ten years ago." .”

"Richard was not the crown prince back then. As the heir to the royal family, he could only serve in the royal army. Crown Prince Richard is currently the head of the Royal Dragoons. How can he serve in the military? This is against the system and the sacred Acts of the law!" Nick Karl said coldly, staring at Powell, as if he wanted to see through it completely.

Ingrey's military headquarters is the base camp of the noble conservative forces. The most taboo is that the royal family will extend its tentacles to the military headquarters, especially directly commanding troops.

History has proved countless times that once the royal family controls an army that can change the situation, it will become extremely powerful. The unlucky ones are always the aristocratic groups with vested interests.

These words also made the people present vigilant, looking at Powell with suspicion.

Powell smiled mockingly, and said: "You are still worrying about these issues, don't forget, the royal family is the nominal commander of the three armies! Besides, this time, Crown Prince Richard is still the chief of staff, the first army Commanders are still selected from the military headquarters.”

Everyone relaxed, and then their eyes began to glow, and they began to think in their hearts.

The power of the First Legion stationed in Rennerton, the capital of Ingray, is too great. This piece of fat is there, and anyone who sees it will be envious.

Nick Carl sneered, "I want to know, who is qualified to command the First Army?"

The generals present calmed down in an instant. Commanding an army often requires not only ability, but one's own background and backing to balance all forces.

Powell rubbed his chin and said, "I recommend Colonel Owen to serve as the general of the First Army. Just an hour ago, the parliament had passed the proposal submitted by the military department to grant him the rank of major general. With his qualifications and ability, he can definitely competent."

Nick Carle glanced at Owen dismissively, and said, "Do you think you can do it? Major Owen!"

He emphasized the word major, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction, and at the same time putting pressure on Owen.
