Chapter 359 Dealing with Problem Officers
In the office of the Lord's Mansion, Purficott was discussing with senior military officers whether the military community needed to set up their own federation.

On this issue, Purficott himself was opposed.

It's not that she opposes soldiers fighting for their own legitimate rights and interests, she just doesn't want a so-called group and organization to be established within the military.

After all, what the military requires is absolute obedience to orders, and orders cannot be given too many times.

If the so-called military federation is established and has enough influence because it represents the interests of the military community, then when their ideas and interests conflict with the orders of Purficott or senior officers, the soldiers will listen As a superior officer or lord's order, or to obey the federation that represents their interests?

This is a very real problem, because sometimes, the order of the officer or lord is to let the soldiers die.

At this time, if the so-called federation objects and prevents soldiers from going to die, will the war still be fought?
Therefore, something like the Military Federation cannot be established. Once this thing develops, it will be of no benefit to the army.

But should the voice of the soldier be conveyed to the lord? The answer to this question is yes.

Although there are currently only a small number of soldiers in the north, only the size of a Guards Division and a part of the City Guards recruited by Perficott, they are still a group, and they are a very important group, and their opinions cannot be ignored. .

Because of this, Colonel Richard argued hard and hoped to establish military representatives.

At the same time, Colonel Richard also wanted to ensure that the regiment listened to him as much as possible, and naturally he did not want the Federation to interfere with his authority over the 17th Guards Division.

But other senior officers have different opinions on this matter. With various reasons and purposes, all senior officers are roughly divided into three groups. The first is naturally the officers who support the establishment of the Federation. They are eager to He can become a representative of the military federation and gain more benefits.

So no matter what, as the commander of the 17th Guards Division, he must strive for the interests of the 17th Guards Division as much as possible.

As the commander of the 17th Guards Division, Colonel Richard was very clear-headed and knew that the Military Federation would definitely not approve the establishment, but military representatives were necessary.

The second is the officers who support Colonel Richard. They clearly support Colonel Richard, but some of these people really think so, and some do it because Colonel Richard is their superior and they are supporting him. own boss.

Under the circumstances that Purficott basically did not care about military affairs, the 17th Guards Division was Colonel Richard's foundation. Naturally, he could not neglect the 17th Guards Division and needed to win over him as much as possible. them.

As for the third part, the minds of these senior officers were simpler. They decided to only support Purficott. No matter what the opinion was, as long as it was what Purficott meant, they would support her. They were considered her fans.

This result was somewhat beyond Purficott's expectations.

It is normal for someone to want to be a representative of the Military Federation. After all, people are all profit animals, and it is not a problem to pursue their own interests. But these people have probably forgotten that both strength and power are in the hands of Perficott. Only her nodding makes sense. Even if she doesn't nod, even if these people say hell, it will be useless.

Although Colonel Richard said that the views he put forward were based on his own interests and demands, in comparison, they were more in line with Perfectcott's interests and the current situation.

Not to mention anything else, now that the duplex union and the commercial-industrial union have been established one after another, if the soldiers' request to establish a union is directly rejected, it will undoubtedly be bad news for the soldiers.

It will have a very bad impact on morale and military morale.

Therefore, it is necessary to allow soldiers to elect representatives to speak for them, but the establishment of a federation is not allowed.
It was precisely because of this that Purficott was surprised that Colonel Richard's choice and the plan he proposed were actually what Purficott wanted to do most now.

After understanding the opinions of a number of senior officers, Purficott made a decision as a lord. With her expressing her support for Colonel Richard, the plan he proposed undoubtedly won the support of most senior officers.

This result irritated those military officers who supported the formation of the Federation, who saw it as a manifestation of Perficott's dictatorship.

These officers regard themselves as progressive young officers and believe that the establishment of the Military Federation is a reflection of the military's more advanced and progressive thinking. Purficott should actively support the establishment of the Military Federation to embody the spirit of democracy and freedom.

Then, these officers were all arrested under Purficott's order.

"Uncle Richard, I hope you will conduct a strict investigation on the 17th Guards Division. I don't want this kind of idea to spread in the army again." After ordering the arrest of those officers, Purficott said to Richard Colonel De said with a bad expression: "It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. I can understand and listen to their demands, but this is not the reason for the army to pursue so-called freedom and democracy!
An army all wants freedom, what do they want? Does it mean that if I, the lord, do not support them, they will oppose me? Do they still oppose the Empire if it hinders their so-called freedom?

Uncle Richard, I call you uncle just for grandpa's sake. This Guards Division was once grandpa's hard work. If you can't lead it, then I would rather destroy it than give it to grandpa. His reputation has been smeared! "

Purficott's words were very serious, and Richard did not dare to neglect them at all. He immediately assured Purficott that he would make every effort to eliminate the bad atmosphere and influence within the 17th Guards Division. , making the 17th Guards Division worthy of its name as a Guards.

"It's best that this is the case, I'll wait and see." Purficott's face remained serious.

Purficott's serious attitude made Richard leave quickly as if something was chasing him behind him. It seemed that he planned to deal with the officers who almost made him unable to step down.

After Colonel Richard and other officers left, Purficott said to the empty office: "Check carefully, where do these officers' ideas come from? I don't believe they are rootless." Wood! Its source must be cut off! The army must be under control."

"Yes, Lord Lord." The answer came in the air, but there was still no sign of anyone.
