The strongest brain in the universe

"I still thought it was the group of guys in the central star area who did it, but I didn't know that the most absurd one was the one from the Phillips family. No, I can't bear it, I want to tell my father." Zhou Xiuwen was still listening carefully , this time he couldn't sit still.

It turned out that Jiang Hui told him about the accident in the exam and did not elaborate on the situation of Phillips. Zhou Xiuwen took the seat and thought that the incident was caused by a fight, and the reason why he chose Jiang Hui and the others was probably because Phillips' family background, I didn't expect that there would be "play" by Phillips himself.

Jiang Hui looked sideways at him, and it's normal for Zhou Xiuwen to feel angry. This friend of hers is a decent person, and she attaches great importance to her friends, but it is not enough to report to Marshal Zhou.

Phillips' trip was a little unkind, but he couldn't catch him much. Even if it was reported to the military department, it would be dereliction of duty at best. Given the other party's family background, some operations would only result in a moderate punishment. And that was also a matter directly related to him, why did Zhou Xiuwen speak so angrily, as if... this Phillips had something to do with them.

If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have heard Taylor say that Colonel Phillips was a member of the First Legion.

Wait...First Legion? ! Jiang Huimeng remembered something that was mentioned in an old newspaper she once read - she believed that her memory would never make a mistake.

Seeing Jiang Hui's expression, Zhou Xiuwen knew what she was thinking, and said calmly to the two friends: "Indeed, if he is from another family, I can't control anything, at worst, it will be far away in the future..." But this guy It happened to be related to their family.

Zhou Yuanjing used to be the commander and person in power of the imperial military. At his peak, the six marshals under him didn't even dare to compete with him. Of the nineteen elite legions of the empire, he alone controlled five of them.

Among them, the First Legion, the Eleventh Legion, and the Twenty-third Legion are the top of the nineteen elites.

The Thirteenth and Thirty-third Legions were supported step by step by Zhou Yuanjing after he came to power, and they were only small and medium legions that were relatively weak. In addition, the Zhou family also controlled several powerful expeditionary forces and dozens of small and medium-sized legions.

It can be said that Zhou Yuanjing monopolized more than half of the power in the military back then. Although the military department may not be his monopoly, it can be said to be unambiguous.

Compared with Zhou Yuanjing back then, those people above are really far behind, not only in ability, but also in control. Otherwise, how could the empire have fallen into such a mess in recent years?

It's just that once Zhou Yuanjing was poisoned, he was unable to take charge of the overall situation, and villains made trouble, and his power was left behind, and his power was gradually weakened.

Under the joint suppression of the six marshals, the 11th and 33rd regiments under them were seriously injured, and after the first regiment changed commanders, Zhou Yuanjing only had four elite regiments left in his hands, two of which were also affected by different forces. degree of repression.

In order to prevent the various forces from further consuming each other, and for the sake of those comrades who have been loyal to him for many years, as well as family and friends, Zhou Yuanjing had no choice but to withdraw from the position of power. on one's last legs.

Who would have thought that Zhou Yuanjing, who had been awe-inspiring inside and outside the battlefield for hundreds of years, would one day be controlled by others, and the people who stabbed him in the back were not enemies, but those compatriots who huddled in the rear and enjoyed his protection. I have to say that it is really a great irony.

So the First Legion used to be Zhou Yuanjing's legion, but now Yi has changed its commander, and another group of troops from the military department has moved in.

Of course, this kind of behavior of grabbing power cannot be made explicit, otherwise they will probably be scolded to death by the people of the empire who support Zhou Yuanjing before they seek benefits for their own forces. They had always claimed that Zhou Yuanjing's old injury had relapsed and he lacked energy, so he was unable to control the army commander who had only been replaced by such an army.

And Zhou Yuanjing also acquiesced to this point out of various considerations, or it should be said that he ignored it at all.

Although the head of the legion was replaced, and the Zhou family lost control of the legion, its influence has not been eradicated.

There are still a large number of people loyal to Zhou Yuanjing who remain in the First Army, and they stick to their original positions to this day. In terms of merit, qualifications and even ability, the people transferred in by the military cannot shake their status at all.

This large number of remaining forces is the guarantee for Zhou Yuanjing or Zhou Xiuwen to regain control of the First Army in the future, and it will only be realized in the future.

Ordinarily, now that Zhou Yuanjing's body could not recover, and Zhou Xiuwen was too young to take charge of major affairs, the forces that finally usurped the First Legion would definitely do their best to eat away at Zhou Yuanjing's old department in the Legion.

But I have to say that the vision of those above is also quite useless. The person in charge is actually a piece of mud that can't support the wall. Not only did he fail to gather much power in the ten years of his position, he almost went wrong.

The military was afraid that Zhou Yuanjing would use this as an excuse to regroup the First Army, so they considered re-selecting a new manager. There were three candidates, one of which was Phillips' father, Odysseus Phillips.

The other party came from a family with enough qualifications, and he was close to those in the military, which was quite suitable. Of course, the other two are also at a similar level——

So in the end who should choose depends on their own abilities.

In order to win more support, that Admiral Phillips showed himself to Zhou Yuanjing without fear of being feared.

It had to be said that the other party was quite wise, guessing that Zhou Yuanjing didn't want to take back the authority of the First Legion for the time being. In this case, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the other party, as long as you don't touch the roots of the Zhou family in the legion.

Although Zhou Yuanjing did not respond most of the time, he also took some of the opponent's achievements and achievements into his eyes. Compared with the other two, General Phillips is indeed better, so he also acquiesced to his small actions.

But according to what Jiang Hui said, Admiral Phillips is good, but his son is so self-indulgent and overjoyed... This is a big hidden danger.

Zhou Xiuwen wanted to reflect this to his father, because not only himself, but also his father hated such people, thinking that they were the beginning of chaos in the family.

For some reason, they temporarily let those people control the First Army, but that is not forever. If the decision-making mistakes were made and the Phillips and his sons were allowed to take over at will, they would regret it if something happened in the future.

The other party even made an appointment to have a meeting with Zhou Yuanjing the day after tomorrow, and said how to clean up the hidden piles implicated by the dark forces this time. It is said that he hopes to get the support of Zhou Xiuwen's father... Then you should really think about whether the other party really wants revenge They still want to use their banner to exclude dissidents.

Zhou Xiuwen felt that it was necessary for him to have a good talk with his father about this.
