Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The nights in Moon City have begun to become quieter. Due to the recent reduction in the supply of goods, curfews have been implemented in all 10 districts in order to reduce the consumption of goods and materials.

Many people have begun to be dissatisfied, but the Star Force has begun to impose martial law everywhere. At first, only District 0 where the Queen is located has implemented a curfew, but now it has been implemented in the other 10 districts.

Because this is an order issued by the Queen, many people have become dissatisfied with the Queen. Over the years, many people have become more and more dissatisfied with the Queen, because every time the Queen issues an order, many people will feel uncomfortable.

Many people have long begun calling for the Queen to abdicate and pass the throne to her heir.

Although a curfew is imposed, it is meaningless for most wealthy people, who still hold some banquets at home.

A huge mansion located on the west side of Area 0 is still brightly lit and laughter is constantly heard. This is the home of Nikolai of the First Army.

Everyone in the family was reveling in the excitement, because Nicholas would soon be promoted from the First Army to the Minister of Food.

This important position made the entire family extremely happy, but only Nicholas was not happy.

"General, why are you so depressed? How about we go inside and I will accompany you to relieve your boredom."

A beautiful, slightly drunk woman came over and looked at Nicholas with her watery eyes. Her enchanting and sexy dress was irresistible, but Nicholas refused.

"Stay there."

After the woman left, Nicholas picked up a glass of wine irritably. Everyone in the family felt that this was the best job from top to bottom, because the food minister had always been held by another big family, but now he was replaced by If he becomes Nicholas, Nicholas can insert the entire family at will in the future.

If you control the food, you can control everything. This is the reason why the family holds such a grand banquet tonight. But at this moment, Nicholas is in a dull mood. He does not think so, because if he does not have a certain army in hand, speaking There is no power behind something.

"What's wrong, aren't you happy Nicholas?"

An old man came over. His name was Suss, and he was Nikolai's uncle.

"Uncle, I think it's better to decline this matter to the Queen."

After Nicholas finished speaking, Sus looked at the room, and then motioned for Nicholas to walk in.

Suss looked at his unhappy nephew, and of course he knew why Nicholas was unhappy. Suss was currently the eldest member of Nicholas's family. After Nicholas's father passed away, Suss basically supported Nicholas. Everything about the family has made the whole family glorious to this day.

The glory of Nicholas's family cannot be separated from the unity within the family. The uncle and nephew entered a small living room on the second floor.

"Nicholas, I know why you are upset, because if you feel that you do not have military power in your hands, you will not be able to speak in the future."

Nicholas nodded. As expected, only his uncle knew the importance of military power. Suss sighed and said.

"Prepare well and then take up the post."

After Sus finished speaking, Nicholas became even more unhappy, and he said.

"Uncle, we have been working for the Queen for so many years, why did the Queen want to do this to us in the end?"

Facing his nephew's question, Suss sighed. In Suss' view, his nephew had no talents. He relied on the overall power of the family and his father's influence to get promoted.

"I know you are angry because the two generals of the Second and Third Army have actually become the leaders of the First Army."

After Sus finished speaking, Nicholas could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and dropped the cup directly to the ground.

"I have been in the First Army for so many years. What did I do wrong? Why did I let these two people replace me?"

Nicholas was extremely angry, Suss patted him on the shoulder and said.

"It is difficult for people to admit their own incompetence."

As soon as these words came out, Nicholas became even more angry, and he glared at Suss, but Suss's expression became serious at this time, and he said.

"The future needs war to baptize everything, and you have no military talent. If you lose in the war, I'm afraid our entire family will be doomed."

Suss' words made Nicholas calm down. It was not that he had never thought about what to do if there was a war in the future, but as long as the weapons in his hands were powerful enough, there should be no big problem.

"Our First Army has the best weapons and equipment. Even if a war breaks out, we can win easily."

As Nikolai said, Sus sighed and then asked someone to come in and clean up the glass residue in the room first, and then closed the door. He looked at his nephew who had calmed down, and now Nikolai's expression showed some doubts.

Suss knew that his nephew should have realized some problems. He just subconsciously knew that if a war really started, weapons, equipment or tactics would basically not be of much use to him.

"You're still too young."

Soos said, Dracula said sadly.

"Uncle, I am not willing to give in!"

Nicholas was heartbroken. He had done his best for the queen for more than 20 years, but in the end the queen kicked him away. Nicholas also knew that his uncle was right and he did not have good military planning. ability.

Although Nikolai didn't want to admit it, in fact, in many simulation operations in the past, Nikolai's command results were very average. Many of them were accomplished with the advice and help of his subordinates. It seems that the results Yes, in fact Nicholas also knew that he had no ability to organize a battle.

The last time he chased Space Station 69, Nikolai was full of confidence, but in the end he didn't catch anything. At first, Nikolai thought that maybe it was because the last pursuit mission was not handled well, so the Queen wanted to transfer him. From the First Army.

"You should be very clear about why the Queen asked you to leave. You must have a clear understanding of this, Nicholas. It is not terrible when a person fails. What is terrible is that he is unwilling to admit his failure."

After Suss finished speaking, Nicholas nodded, his eyes a little moist, because he gradually realized that he had allowed his subordinates too much, and that he himself was also using this position to crazily make money for the family.

"I'm afraid the reason why you failed last time was because the people in the First Army were of great help. You should know the current situation better than I do, uncle."

After Sus finished speaking, Nicholas nodded.

"Indeed, uncle, members of the family have infiltrated our first army."

Now Nikolai thinks clearly, Suss said.

"So the Queen's idea is correct. She wants to rely on two capable generals to gradually replace the worms in the First Army and re-cast the First Army. War often does not rely on geniuses. They are ordinary tactics, but the executors of war. Although the current First Army has huge resources, the people with huge resources have long lost their fighting spirit."

Nicholas nodded. He had to admit what his uncle said. His subordinates had long lost their fighting spirit, which was different from when Nicholas first became a general.

So the Queen's concerns are justified, Nicholas said with a sigh.

"Uncle, maybe asking me to serve as Minister of Agriculture is also the queen's consideration for our entire family."

Suss nodded.

"Although the Queen is ruthless, she will not break her arm. We are the Queen's right-hand men. She has a deep meaning in doing this. Think carefully about the candidates for the position of Minister of Agriculture over the years."

Sus had already understood everything, Nicholas said after thinking about it for a while.

"It is true that the Minister of Agriculture has been constantly rotated in the hands of the family over the years, but now that I have become the Minister of Agriculture, won't it cause dissatisfaction from other families?"

After Nicholas finished speaking, Suss nodded.

"There will definitely be dissatisfaction from the family, but one thing you have to remember is that the current family is retreating in order to advance. They should not interfere in this matter, because they have already received benefits from the queen."

Nicholas asked, not quite understanding.

"What kind of benefits?"

Soos said with a smile.

"You become the Minister of Agriculture, and two generals want to reorganize the First Army. Who do you think is the biggest beneficiary?"

Nicholas looked at his uncle in confusion, he thought for a while and then shook his head.

"Is it a family?"

Suss nodded.

"You will understand the problem if you think about it for a moment. If these personnel come out of the First Army, based on some of their past achievements and their years of service, where do you think they will go?"

Nicholas stood up in shock and said.

"Of course they are important positions in some cities."

Suss nodded.

"The reason why the current curfew can be implemented is because the Queen has already deployed her own people in the 10 regions, but these people have annoyed people in the region this time, so it will be difficult for them to continue to use it in the future, but if they start from the first If this group of people who have retired from the army group come over, the families will definitely welcome them."

Nicholas figured it out, he said.

"It turns out that if these people cannot be properly resettled, they will definitely cause some problems. If you want to properly resettle them, you have to let them go to important positions in some areas, and they are already connected with the family, so The family members will naturally accept it happily and will not care about my appointment as Minister of Agriculture. And because these people are my subordinates, all aspects of food arrangements in the region will be the same as before in the First Army."

Nicholas figured out this relationship, Suss smiled.

"So there is absolutely no need for you to worry about these issues, because everything is the same as in the past. The queen still needs you to contain the family. You think this position may rise and fall secretly, but in fact it is a more important position. Of course it’s going to be hard if you can’t figure that out.”

Nikolai's face showed joy, he picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, Suss said.

"From the past to the present, our family has always stood firmly on the side of the royal power. We don't have much ambition, because we know very well that only by relying on the royal power can we get everything, so we have always relied on the royal power. , in every battle, our family is by Wang Quan’s side.”

Nicholas nodded, and Suss continued.

"That's why our family can always be prosperous, because those who stand in the royal power will consider our family first, so we are not squeezed out and keep getting everything, while some less determined families are eventually squeezed out. Go out and disappear in the constant squeeze, or be suppressed. That's why the families outside will unite and want to get more things through this method."

Nicholas laughed. At this time, a burst of contact came over. Nicholas stood up. It was the queen who asked to let him enter the palace.

Soos said.

"After you figure it out, you should know what to do when you get to the palace."

Nicholas nodded and stood up after quickly dressing up.

After a while, Nicholas entered the palace. In the empty hall, the queen was sitting on the throne. Nicholas stepped forward and knelt down, and then said.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

The Queen looked at Nicholas with a rosy face and said with a smile.

"Did you drink a lot?"

Nicholas nodded.

said the queen.

"Your transfer order will be announced early tomorrow morning, so you can start making preparations."

Nicholas nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will start preparations as soon as possible."

The Queen stood up and then asked.

"Nicholas, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Nicholas shook his head, and the queen looked a little confused, because she knew very well that Nicholas would be dissatisfied. News had just come from the First Army, and many non-commissioned officers who knew about Nicholas's order were beginning to be dissatisfied and planned to collectively Issue a protest.

This matter must have something to do with Nicholas, so the Queen found Nicholas now. She looked at Nicholas with a serious look on his face and asked.

"Nicholas, your subordinates have already protested."

As soon as the queen said this, Nicholas felt a chill running down his spine. He had indeed expressed his dissatisfaction to his subordinates and turned a blind eye to the issue of their drafting a protest letter. He took the initiative to say.

"Your Majesty, I am a subordinate who misunderstood your Majesty's meaning. Your Majesty wants me to become the Minister of Agriculture in order to continue to contain the family members."

After Nicholas finished speaking, the Queen was stunned at first, but then smiled.

"It seems that you understand what I mean, Nicholas. I don't want to hear any dissatisfaction tomorrow. Now you go to the First Army immediately and solve everything."

Nicholas nodded.

"Yes! Your Majesty, I will tell them to shut up. As for their subsequent arrangements, I think Your Majesty has already thought about it."

The Queen laughed and then she said.

"Your uncle Soos told you."

Nicholas admitted this time, he lowered his head again.

"Your Majesty, our family will always be your attendants."

The queen nodded with satisfaction.

"It's okay to be dissatisfied, Nicholas, but you have to think clearly about the relationship behind it. The reason why I didn't tell you clearly is that I hope you can figure it out yourself. After all, I have high expectations for you."
