I will be crowned king

Red Hand Bay City Council, Speaker's Office.

According to Anson Bach's assignment, Fabian, who was granted full authority, led the Storm Division Grenadier Regiment to Red Hand Bay to cleanse the local loyalists.

Inside the locked door, the former Guards officer was sitting behind the desk that had belonged to the Speaker a few minutes ago. He was methodically sorting out the lists left over from the past few days of work, using a red pen to write down names one by one. Cross.

On the corner of the table on the right side, there is also a copy of the latest issue of "The Good People of Beluga Harbor".

After contacting Peter Chatham, the representative of the Red Hand Bay Parliament, Fabian discovered that not only Clovis, but also the Imperial people were interested in the scientific and professional maintenance of rule and "faction cleansing". The job of social stability is fraught with misunderstandings.

In their minds, it seemed that all that was needed was to erect a gallows and a beheading platform in the square, and the soldiers kicked down the door with their guns and sent the people to the sky one by one, and the matter was done.

Things obviously can't be that simple.

Although there are many former colleagues who acted roughly, Fabian, as an "industry rookie", has a completely different view on this - at least in terms of "process justice", he and Secretary Alan Dawn The officials have a common language.

A good process can not only have a clear division of labor and ensure that everyone is responsible for the part and the handover of the previous work, so that the entire work will not be paralyzed due to sudden situations in a certain link or the need to replace people, but there is another benefit, that It’s about sharing the responsibility.

Work, especially work involving extremely high risks, usually also means taking on a considerable degree of responsibility; in addition to motivation and temporary power, as well as subsequent rewards, these responsibilities often also mean huge psychological pressure; At this time, it is particularly important to be able to clarify the work and share the responsibilities.

On the contrary, if your boss entrusts an important job to you alone and hints that you "have to take responsibility", then he probably wants more than just letting you complete the work...

In Fabian's view, if you want to deal with the loyalists in Red Hand Bay as quickly as possible, and at the same time set an example for other colonies, you must not scare them too much, and you must at least split the entire link into three step.

The first step is to confirm the goal.

[...At the active invitation of the city council, Lieutenant Colonel Fabian and some Clovis soldiers entered Red Hand Bay to cooperate with the locals in "civilized eradication" of some discordant voices in the council.

They did not immediately launch ruthless suppression and massacre of the city like some brutal armies; the first thing Clovis's army did when entering the Red Hand Bay was to count everyone's information and conduct detailed remarks. verification.

In order to prevent errors in written documents, he and the officers privately visited all the families designated as "loyalists" and had close contact and conversations with the parties involved.

The whole process was intimate and harmonious, without any violent incidents. Most of the people visited were very cooperative with the work of the Clovis army... The officers and soldiers who observed discipline and were full of gentlemanly demeanor left a deep impression on the people of Red Hand Bay.

After on-the-spot visits and document information, Lieutenant Colonel Fabian discovered that the local 'loyalists' are powerful, have a bad influence, and commit numerous crimes. The economy of Red Hand Bay is in decline, trade development is close to stagnant, industries cannot be developed, and the lives of the people at the bottom are difficult. There is an unshirkable responsibility...]

Investigation and verification of lists, large-scale public accusations, identity network connections...all means are not only to find out who the loyalists are, but also to incriminate these people by confirming their identities, and to kill the "incompatibility" between them and the empire. "Report on others" and "whitewash" the "liberals" who have a certain relationship with them.

In the New World colonies, the "superior people" who can join the autonomous assembly may have different opinions, but their styles and attitudes are basically the same; they squeeze the natives, exploit the new immigrants, evade taxes and exploit... Basically no one is truly Innocence in the sense of the word.

But now that we have the absolutely incorrect identity of "loyalists", we can accurately throw all the dirty water and the consequences on specific groups of people in one go, thereby eliminating those who are willing to cooperate with Beluga Port. Liberals picked it clean.

Of course, in this process, the details of the entire Red Hand Bay can also be thoroughly understood: population, taxation, resources, transportation, industry...even the entire situation and background of those liberals. All the information will fall into the hands of the storm master.

Regardless of whether they intend to rebel in the future or are unwilling to cooperate with the interests of the Luen family or Port Beluga, the Storm Division will have hundreds of ways to catch them all in an instant.

The second step after thoroughly understanding the situation is to arrest.

[...In order to save the crisis-ridden Red Hand Bay and save the people who were in dire straits, Lieutenant Colonel Fabian, who had a thorough grasp of the details, made a prompt decision and implemented a careful arrest plan at the most critical moment.

Without the violent use of force, the Storm Division captured all the loyalists in Red Hand Bay in just one night, without any harm to innocent people; the whole process was aboveboard and received the support of the people of Red Hand Bay. unanimous approval and cooperation.

Among them, the Red Hand Bay Council provided most of the help, and all processes were effectively and strictly supervised by specially appointed members, ensuring the friendship and trust of both parties, turning the entire event into an important proof of the close relationship between the two parties.

For the illegal properties of loyalist members, the Red Hand Bay Council has also carried out all accounting and cleanup work. All movable and immovable properties have been confiscated and will be auctioned to the public at absolutely legal prices. In this way, the eradication of loyalty is demonstrated. Pai’s outstanding achievements...]

For those rebellious imperial colonies, the thing they are most wary of or afraid of is whether Clovis will occupy the magpie's nest, intervene in their sphere of influence by purging loyalists, or even completely turn into a Clovis colony. a part of.

This kind of groundless speculation is obviously meaningless - no need to guess, Anson Bach and a group of Storm Division officers really want to do this, but the price they have to pay is too high due to their own size, regardless of However, the only way is to use a lower cost method.

So in order to make them let down their guard, Fabian adopted a gentler and more "transparent" method: let the whole city of Red Hand Bay Council intervene, lay out the whole process of the arrest in front of them, and eliminate their doubt.

As for the use of force... this kind of thing is of course impossible to avoid, but the liberals in Red Hand Bay don't care; it's not them who are unlucky anyway, as long as these "easily misunderstood" aspects are not reflected in the propaganda.

What the Stormtroopers are really concerned about is the "illegal asset auction" after the arrest.

In addition to showing the integrity of the Storm Division, another important reason for the public auction is because it is the only way for Beluga Port to obtain these assets as a matter of course.

If it is confiscated, then 100% will be divided among the liberal members of the city council. If it is auctioned privately, they can also get an absolute majority by relying on their relationship advantages.

Only by using public auctions and relying on the sufficient financial resources of Beluga Port (the seizure of Long Lake Town and the secret gold mine) can we gain an absolute advantage and capture the vast majority of the real estate owned by the Loyalists in Red Hand Bay, while leaving everyone speechless. It can be said.

According to the previous agreement, one-quarter of these real estate properties belonged to the Luen family, and three-quarters became the "public property" of the Storm Division, which was distributed proportionally to the entire officer corps.

This is also an important means for Anson to win over and bribe the Stormtroopers and continue to tie them to his tank; after all, it is impossible for his "colleagues" who have already obtained the establishment to continue taking risks without showing enough sincerity.

At the same time, controlling these important real estates can further tie the local economy to Beluga Port; even if the Empire raids these colonies, the Storm Division will still have time to transfer property and destroy the real estate, leaving the Empire with nothing and starting from scratch. colony.

In this war destined to be unequal in strength, who can obtain more adequate supplies at a lower cost is also the key to which side can win in the end.

When all those confirmed to be loyalists have been caught, the final trial can begin.

[...The righteous Storm Division army disclosed all their crimes to all members of the autonomous assembly and the onlookers, and fully handed over the right to judge the loyalists to the people of Red Hand Bay.

Amid rising calls, all the loyalists suspected of being the mastermind were sentenced to hanging, while the implicated family members were sentenced to exile and were never allowed to return to Red Hand Bay, but were free to travel elsewhere. anywhere.

Lieutenant Colonel Fabian and the Clovis soldiers, representing the commander-in-chief of the garrison, resolutely implemented the decision of all the people of Red Hand Bay and allowed the families of these loyalists to go to Beluga Port to start a new life...]

In the entire purge process, the most troublesome and responsible part is how to deal with the arrested loyalists; as long as the Storm Division intervenes a little more, the final fate of these people will become the responsibility of Clovis and Beluga Harbor , became a "crime" that could be exploited by the empire.

In order to avoid being taken advantage of by the empire, Fabian resolutely left this issue to the liberals of Red Hand Bay; the reason is also very good - this is Red Hand Bay's own internal affairs, as an ally and an outsider, White Whale Hong Kong can only assist, but has no right to intervene.

But if anyone dares to refuse, it proves that he is a "deeply hidden" loyalist, and the storm master can justifiably eradicate this person, confiscate his property, and exile his whole family.

Under this undisguised and explicit threat, the liberals in Red Hand Bay gave in decisively and sentenced all loyalists to hanging - thirty members were hung from the newly erected lights in the city center square. on the pole.

Their families, escorted by the Storm Division, boarded a merchant ship responsible for "exiling" them to Beluga Port.

There they will become "peripheral members" of the Rune family, just like the arms dealer Erich, who will become the visible force of the Rune family and be responsible for a certain aspect of special affairs.

Naturally, in addition to the important reason of Fabian and Anson's heartfelt kindness, they also wanted to expand and strengthen the Luen family's power in the new world in the shortest possible time.

Although it is already the 101st year of the Saints calendar, many things still do not seem to have changed much for the entire world of order; even if there is no feudalism in the substantial sense, but a new family wants to establish a stable rule, You also need to expand your own strength and establish a huge "vassal system" and "retainer group".

In addition, there is another reason that is not worth mentioning: these "exiled" loyalist remnants are also the "registration" of Beluga Port to deal with certain special situations.

It would be best if the liberals cooperated with Beluga Port with a correct attitude and unswervingly fought against the empire; but if they tried to negotiate with the empire, abandoned or even betrayed Beluga Port...these former loyalists who were exiled by their own hands would be the future The best person to replace them.

Anyway, Anson's ultimate goal is to ensure that the Rune family establishes a foothold in the new world, and even becomes the true ruler behind the scenes; as for who is in front of the colony except Beluga Port, he and Talia don't care.

"The situation is roughly like this now. The Red Hand Bay Council will be responsible for the next work."

Putting down the pen and documents in his hand, Fabian raised his head and looked across, with a hint of joking in his respect: "It's all done, Mr. Speaker Peter Chatham."

"Don't dare!"

The frightened Peter Chatham's cheeks twitched, and he humbly tried his best to please: "I...I will definitely, will resolutely implement all the instructions from Lord Anson Bach and the White Whale Port, and there will never be any negligence!"

"You don't have to force yourself to obey everything. If you have any difficulties, you might as well speak up boldly. The Commander-in-Chief is not an unreasonable person." Fabian chuckled and handed him the newspaper on the table:

"As for the Commander-in-Chief's instructions... From what I understand, he shouldn't deliberately ask for anything most of the time; so if you want to know what you should do next, just read the newspaper and talk to Lieutenant Jason Fruhauf at the same time. Let’s communicate more.”

"sure!"

Peter nodded repeatedly as if pounding garlic, and at the same time asked cautiously: "Then... is there anything else that you need us to cooperate with in your next work?"

Cooperate?

Fabian paused for a moment, then shook his head a little lonely: "That's not true, but I won't leave Red Hand Bay for the time being - don't get me wrong, the matter is over, but I don't want to go back for the time being. "

"Oh, why is that?"

"Because of a certain person - to be precise, a certain special novelist, I have some issues with him, but this person is currently Miss Thalia Luhn's guest." Fabian said to himself slightly absentmindedly Said to himself:

"In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it's better not to meet."
