Chapter 4 Captain (Part 2)

On these days when there was no war, Cons lived a regular day of practicing martial arts, eating, and sleeping, one day after another.

A few days later, a large number of new recruits and supplies suddenly poured into the huge camp in the primeval forest. Cons, who was familiar with the situation, immediately learned that there would be a war.

When Cons saw the usual unintentional team leader, he was busy in and out of the camp. Although he was very curious, he was too lazy to inquire with Cons' personality. But he still knew why the team leader was so busy.

"Cons, do you know? The corps captain has been promoted. When the appointment is issued, he will be the leader of the lieutenant colonel! He must have climbed the thigh of the division commander, and I don't know how he must have passed the approval of the lieutenant colonel, so he was promoted to lieutenant colonel. Maybe our division commander has become the confidant of the lieutenant commander?

"It seems unlikely. You must know that their conflicts are very deep. The last time the Legion Commander slowed down the rescue speed, almost completely destroyed our division."

This was what a veteran told Cons when he was in the martial arts training ground.

After Kons knew about it, he just said, while practicing martial arts, he listened to the veteran's nagging. The veteran's words were nothing more than trying to make a team leader.

The Qihong Kingdom army had a strange system: except for the king, any officer could only appoint positions two levels lower than himself, and the power to issue official ranks belonged to the king, the power to issue school ranks belonged to the commander of the army, and the power to issue lieutenant ranks belonged to the commander of the division.

Under this system, there are irreconcilable contradictions between superiors and subordinates, because the objects they serve are completely different.

Although some people have proposed to abolish this system before, it happened that because this system failed a major rebellion, kings of all generations have disagreed with abolishing this system.

The day after Cons received the news, the appointment letters from the Legion and Division were conveyed. The corps leader of Cons not only successfully hung the team leader's position logo on his arms, but also the rank logo of the lieutenant colonel on his shoulders. Of course, there was still a blank on his collar.

You should know that the entire Ninth Legion, except for the chief and deputy commander of the army, chief of staff, chief of staff, and several commander of the commander of the Ninth Legion, there are no other noble officers.

This newly released team leader gathered the camps of the two subordinate corps together as soon as he took office and summoned all the team members to gather.

The square that has expanded a lot is full of people, including more than 100 veterans and more than 800 new recruits.

Cons still stood silently at the back, watching the energetic team leader, with twenty soldiers in sharp armor, climbing to the wooden platform.

The team leader fiddled with the badge representing the position of the team leader and the rank of lieutenant colonel. Of course, he did not touch the collar.

He glanced at everyone proudly, cleared his throat and shouted: "Captain of the team, with the power granted by His Majesty the supreme King, is now appointing the captain of the fifth team of the Second Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Ninth Legion!" He stopped here and looked at the veterans in the front row.

Seeing that they all had an anxious light, and the two newly appointed team captains showed disgust, Cons couldn't help but smile proudly.

Cons learned from the well-informed veteran that the two new corps captains were appointed by the brigade captains. The brigade captains of his troops were about to pull the division commander off so that he could become the division commander who was intimate with the corps commander. The team commander was appointed by the division commander, so of course he had to arrange his own people to the grassroots level to pull the leg of the brigade captain and then the leg of the brigade captain.

Thinking of this, Cons couldn't help but shake his head secretly. How to fight for power and profit in the war?

Cons shook his head and sighed silently. He just had to do his duty as a soldier.

The team leader began to read the name of the captain. The first few were the remaining team leaders, and the ones behind were veterans. Among them, the fierce man who was angry with Cons was appointed as the captain of the fifth team of the First Regiment.

Cons didn't care about listening, just wondering which team he would join? So Cons didn't even hear the team leader pronounced the last team leader. When he saw everyone looking back at him, he looked confused.

"Appoint Cons as the captain of the fifth team, the second brigade of the fifth division of the 9th legion!"

Seeing that Cons was stunned and did not respond, the team leader shouted loudly again, and it was difficult for him to say such a long number in one breath. In fact, the number of Cons brigade can be simplified to the 952525 Team, but few people use this type of unimpressive number.

Seeing Cons' stupid look, the team leader couldn't help but frown.

He didn't like this taciturn guy very much, although he was able to become the team leader, it had a lot to do with taking Cons' credit.

Although I don't want to appoint a guy I'm not familiar with as an officer, I really have no one to control the army. All the confidants promoted before died. I hope that those small team leaders can be loyal to themselves because of their promotion. This is still easy. After all, the captain they've been loyal to has long died.

However, it is still not as useful as your own confidants. As for the personal soldiers behind you, they only owned them after the promotion. It will take some time to make these personal soldiers become their own people.

However, when you are promoted next time, your personal soldiers can be assigned to take charge of the army, and there is no need to choose someone to become an official like now.

Cons heard this time, although he was a little shocked, he understood that the military order was like a mountain and could not be violated, so he had to maintain a calm expression, crossed the crowd, and stood with nine captains with smug faces, looking at the nearly a thousand soldiers under the audience with envious and jealous expressions.

After reading the appointment of the captain, the team leader hangs the captain's position badge on the arms of the ten people of Cons. Of course, they inevitably say something that implies "I appointed you, I must be loyal to me."

Finally, the team leader turned around and said a few words of loyalty to the king to all the soldiers, and asked the clerk to assign the soldiers from each brigade. He directly brought twenty personal soldiers into his tent.

The team leader is not planning to ask these team leaders to apply for the rank of lieutenant. It will take him a while to check who is truly loyal to him and then decide who to apply.

Although the team leader can be stationed in one of the corps under his command, all the senior officers in the Qihong Kingdom army are not in line with each other with officers below their own level. Therefore, the main business of senior officers is stationed in the center of subordinate troops. If the logistics of subordinates is not enough, the subordinate officers will ignore the superior officers.

Although the wing is a strategic unit, if there is no camp alone, all the supplies can only be allocated by the upper-level troops.

It is also because of this rationing system that the army of Qihong Kingdom did not become loose, but because of this rationing system, the unreasonable aspects of the army of Qihong Kingdom did not become so obvious.

Under the busy command of the team secretary and the two corps captains watched coldly, the recruits and veterans were quickly assigned to the individual team captains.

Cons's veterans account for more than one-third, which is about ten more than the other brigades. You should know that there are only one hundred veterans in the regiment. Everyone knows that on the battlefield, the recruits will sometimes die all at once. It seems that the clerk's special care for Cons again.

The veteran who was dissatisfied with Cons and was lucky enough to survive for a year was also assigned to the Fifth Team of the Second United. Seeing him like that, he must be unwilling to do so, and he even peeked at Cons with a horrified expression.

After the number of people was allocated, the two corps captains immediately rushed back to their brigade and began to exercise their power to appoint squadron leaders for each brigade.

After the appointment of the corps captains, the brigades immediately took the troops away because they couldn't wait to exercise the power of becoming an official.

Cons looked at the at a loss in front of him, and the two squadron leaders who were hiding besides and peeking at him. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and looked up at the sky. He no longer had to take care of himself. The fate of these hundred people was in his own hands.

Cons lowered his head and glanced at the soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that he had to appoint a squad leader, he might have ordered the disbandment on the spot.

But who should be appointed as the team leader? Cons thought for a while and said, "You can choose ten team leaders by yourself." Then he turned around and left.

The soldiers and the two squadron leaders who were left behind all stared at Cons's back as they heard this. They had never heard of the appointment of officers by themselves. They had never experienced these things, so they had to stare at each other and stay still.

At this time, a captain and team clerk came over, and the soldiers knew him, and he was the team clerk assigned to the troops. All the soldiers immediately saluted him. Although these recruits had not been trained, they had already understood the regulations of saluting the officers before they joined the army.

The clerk who had returned a gift said to the two recruits with the badges of the squadron captain's position: "I am here to send the roster, where is your captain?"

"Sir, the captain of the brigade..." The two brigade captains didn't know how to answer, they didn't know where the captain was going.

And they were also secretly shocked. The team secretary actually gave the roster to the captain himself? The captain has a good relationship with the upper level.

A veteran who was familiar with the secretary said, "Sir, the captain of the brigade asked us to select the team leader by ourselves. We don't know how to choose, nor do we know who to choose. What method do you do?"

The clerk was stunned when he heard this unheard of things, but he quickly woke up.

He was familiar with Cons' personality and of course he understood that Cons had no choice but to do so. He smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? The team leader is a grassroots officer who is fighting to the front line. He relies on the ability to kill enemies. Whoever kills more enemies will be the team leader."

"Haha, so I have hope of becoming the squad leader? Since I joined the army, I have killed more than fifty enemies." A veteran laughed.

"Bah, what's more than fifty? I've cut more than a hundred, and the team leader should be me!" Another veteran shouted immediately.

In an instant, more than 30 veterans shouted, saying that they would kill more enemies and that the team leader should be the one he should be.

The recruits, including the two squadron leaders, dared not speak because the number of killing enemies was zero and they were not qualified to speak out.

The two squadron captains retreated aside even more. They understood that it was fair to rely on merit and promoted in this way. They also understood that in the eyes of veterans, including new recruits, they were worthless.

"What's the point of noting? We have all recorded our merits on the list. Take a look with the clerk and pick out ten of them that killed the most enemies." A veteran suggested.

"Yes, Lord Register, give us the roster, we will hand it over to Captain Cons." The veterans immediately stared at the notebook in the clerk's hand with their eyes shining.

"No problem, don't forget to hand over the roster to Cons. After the squad leader was selected, let Cons report the roster to the wing clerk, and let him send someone to the wing quarconian to collect equipment."

The clerk smiled and handed the notebook to a veteran, leaving without even looking at the two squadron leaders.
