Chapter 476 The figure of the emperor(1/2)
Without anyone in this world, the sun will still rise.
Therefore, Kentweis believes that Ji Xinghe, an old man who can fight, is not irreplaceable. In fact, there is some truth.
Therefore, Ji Xinghe also has reason to believe that Kent Weiss, the spokesperson of the top organization who hindered his revenge, can be completely replaced.
The difference between the two, or the difference between the two federal generals, is that one is just a general, and the other is a general and a common man at the same time.
"You don't know anything, you only know how to fight and kill."
"I know everything, and I can also fight and kill."
No one knew that Kent Weiss and Ji Xinghe had a conversation through the air.
They don't know it themselves, but these two conversations are of great significance. They are very meaningful to the two of them, and they are also of great significance to the Federation and this war.
No one is irreplaceable, not for the Federation.
But some people have the ability to make others replaced.
No ape is irreplaceable, and the same goes for the Empire.
But some orangutans have the ability to replace other orangutans.
For example, Aidakan.
When the news that Yinan died in the battle zone of Base 5 reached the empire's jump base command center in the Battle Scar Canyon, there were no wailings or cries.
On the contrary, many orangutans became excited.
Every radish has a pit. If one radish is missing, there will be an extra pit. What’s more, there are a lot of radishes missing this time?
Including the general Yinan, the empire originally had five dukes in the Battle Scar Canyon.
This morning, three of them took 1,500 mechas to encircle and suppress the independent group, but they were killed by the independent group.
One of them was killed by Andre using the power of technology during the encirclement and suppression campaign.
The remaining two successfully escaped the independent group's counter-attack, but were taken to the No. 5 base battle area by Yinan, where Ji Xinghe and Han Li each committed suicide.
It can be said that they can escape in the morning but not in the afternoon.
At this point, the only duke left in the Empire in Battle Scar Canyon was Dong Guo Cilian, who was responsible for hunting down Kai Dilin at that time.
It didn't care that it couldn't attack for a long time. Even though the imperial mecha had the advantage at the time, it chose to escape first.
This made Yinan, who was still alive at the time, very angry, and in order to save more mechas, Aida Kang made a deal.
It was just because the accident happened so quickly that Dongguo Cilian's mecha, as well as its Marquis A and Earl A, had not been captured by Aida Kang on the grounds of delaying the military plane, being passive and slacking off in the war, etc.
Therefore, Duke Dongguo Cilian temporarily became the empire's general in the Battle Scar Canyon.
It itself has powers similar to those of a federal general, and this temporary taking over of important responsibilities is also in line with the relevant rules and regulations of the empire.
"I finally became a general, hahaha..."
Dongguo Cilian did not feel sad because of Yinan's death, nor did she feel any fear.
If Yinan died in the Battle Scar Canyon, it would definitely be scared now, but Yinan was taken to the No. 5 Base War Zone by Aida Kang, and it can be said that he died at the hands of Aida Kang.
What does that have to do with it?
If the emperor of the empire were to hold accountable, Aida Kang should be the first, and Yinan himself should be the second. It has no power to prevent Aida Kang and Yi Nan from going to the No. 5 base war zone, so it certainly does not have any responsibility.
Instead, there was an opportunity to save the building from collapse, and this opportunity represented the merit that allowed him to truly become a great general.
"Ji Xinghe is not here, call me."
After Dongguo Cilian issued the order, it was not actually implemented because Aida Kang also issued an order to suspend their attack.
In Dongguo Cilian's view, this was Aida Kang's attempt to prevent it from achieving greater success.
"Adakon has been defeated many times. The surprise attack on Federation Base No. 5 failed, and a jump gate, more than 500 mechas, and six Duke Armors were lost.
The second attack on Federation Base No. 5 resulted in the loss of more than 2,000 mechas, six space battleships, 500,000 troops, and five dukes.
The third surprise attack on Federation Base No. 5 also left Yinan dead, as well as two dukes and five marquis..."
Thinking back on Aida Kang's repeated defeats, they were all related to the No. 5 base war zone. To put it more directly, they were all related to Ji Xinghe.
Dongguo Cilian even wanted to take advantage of Ji Xinghe's absence to launch an advance operation in the western theater as before without Ji Xinghe and without an independent regiment.
"Aida Kang didn't let me fight because he must have taken advantage of Yinan's death to come and take away the command. He also took advantage of the jump gate to annihilate all the effective forces in the western theater before Ji Xinghe came back to support him and make up for the past.
loss and guilt.”
Thinking of this, Dongguo Cilian became very angry.
But it couldn't refuse to carry out Aidakan's order, so while preparing for a full-scale attack, it read Aidakan's book.
The Empire's military system is different from that of the Federation, and is slightly different from any period in the history of the Federation's continents.
In real comparison, it is somewhat like the military system of Longzhou's slavery period more than 2,000 years ago: in line with the political system centered on royal power, the king is the supreme military commander. Although the armies of Fang's princes have a certain degree of independence, they are not capable of fighting.
Always listen to the king’s call.
But now, nearly three hundred years after the empire was founded, the princes of the empire, including the princes, have lost the power to form an army in the true sense.
This is because as the Empire unified the Empire Star, technological developments including communications, transportation, and weapons made it easier for the Empire's imperial power to manage the entire planet.
The branch is strong and the trunk is weak, and the branch becomes strong and the trunk is weak.
The royal army continued to develop and became the most powerful standing army in the empire. The princes did not have the opportunity to fight against each other. Raising a private army would not only increase losses, but also lead to the emperor's dissatisfaction and all kinds of being put on the back foot.
Therefore, the nobles who nominally have the power to form an army can only disband a large number of private armies and form a quality-first Guards Army.
However, the nobles of the empire still had the power to recruit armies from their fiefdoms during wartime, and to take the armies they formed to fight based on the emperor's orders.
Recruitment rather than formation means that these recruited armies are also the emperor's army and must take the emperor's order first, rather than being the private army of the great nobles.
The Empire and the Federation have been fighting a time war on alien planets for more than twenty years, and most of the casualties in conventional troops were from private armies recruited by major nobles.
This makes the phenomenon of strong branches and strong branches in the empire even more serious, which is basically consistent with the internal contradictions in the empire analyzed by Liu Mian, Davis and many others.
Under these preconditions, it is very normal for the empire's military forces fighting on alien planets to have supervisors who bear the emperor's orders.
Including Aida Kang, the prince and general, there are also supervisors around him.
They have no noble status and no fighting ability because they are monkeys and not orangutans.
But their authority is very large. In the empire, it can be described as reaching the sky.
There are quite a few such monkeys in the empire. They form the empire's civil service system. Although almost none of them have the status of aristocrats, the authority brought by their official positions is greater than that of many orangutan aristocrats.
But generally speaking, in an empire that advocates force and engages in war, the power of the civil servant group is far lower than that of the general group.
Apart from anything else, the system of not being knighted without military merit is obviously restricting the monkeys.
The orangutans in the Empire will never forget that three hundred years ago, monkeys with relatively higher intelligence were the real masters of the Empire, and more than half of the orangutans were slaves of the monkeys.
No matter how strong your physical fitness is, what if you can fight?
Even if it is the age of cold weapons, it does not mean that war is just about killing each other with cold weapons. Swords and armors all require technology to make, and the same is true for bows and arrows, catapults, etc.
Smart monkeys can form an army with more powerful weapons, and through farming, primitive commerce, etc., they can control resources that can feed more armies.
This era in which monkeys were superior to orangutans ended with the emperor known as Emperor Wu I becoming an orangutan.
The power of the gift can not only make the orangutans more powerful in combat, but in the era of cold weapons, they are equivalent to turning into ape-shaped mechas, which can easily activate unparalleled killing mode on the battlefield.
It can also make them possess higher intelligence.
After the empire was founded, Emperor Wu I opened up the wisdom of the orangutans by running schools. Although the orangutans were still not as good as the monkeys in terms of high sophistication, it would not allow the monkeys to gain an absolute advantage in wisdom again.
It is precisely because of this that the orangutans have been restricting the monkeys.
Of course, there are no absolutes in everything. Monkeys like the President of the Imperial Academy of Sciences received a knighthood because of their contributions to scientific research.
But this one is extremely rare.
Therefore, the conflicts in the empire are not only between the royal family and the nobility, between the old and new nobility, but also between orangutans and monkeys.
Dongguo Cilian looked at the monkey standing in front of him and asked in a very contagious tone: "Do you want to be a general for a day, or do you want to be a staff member for a lifetime?"
This monkey not only has the identity of a supervisor, but also an aide.
The imperial staff is equivalent to the federal staff, but their powers are far lower than that of the federal staff. After all, the federal staff can have real command authority, even if they are not the chief of staff.
The monkey, who was only 1.5 meters tall, looked up at Dongguo Cilian, who was over 2 meters tall, and asked: "Do you want to join the war?"
"Yes." Dongguo Cilian didn't hide anything: "Not only do I want to participate in the war, but all the marquis and earls under me also want to participate in the war. There are also all the marquis and earls left by Yinan and the others. So, as long as Ai
If Dakang doesn't come, or it can't get the command, you'll have a chance to be a general for a day."
It has four marquises and twenty-three earls under its command, each of which controls a large number of troops.
The military positions in the Empire are actually similar to those in the Federation. There are eight levels from top to bottom. After translation, they can be represented by the military division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and squad plus a long character.
But the empire has no military ranks, only knighthoods.
In other words, the imperial military rank is the title.
Yinan's general is not a military rank, but a military position. Judging from the number of troops he previously controlled and the importance of the theater, he is equivalent to Kent Weiss, a three-star general in the federation.
But because of its title of duke, its apparent importance far exceeds that of Kentweis.
