Chapter 32 New Appointment
Seeing that the two were a little nervous, Ron waved his hand and comforted them:

"Don't be so reserved. I know everything about you. Let's make it short."

He walked down and handed the defense corps appointment letter and badge with the governor's seal to the two men.

"In view of your outstanding performance and outstanding contributions, I have decided to appoint you as the corps commander and staff officer of the Ers Planetary Defense Force!"

Yarui and Keith were stunned when they saw the appointment letters and badges in their hands.

The Governor actually appointed them as the two highest-ranking officers in the defense force!

It is equivalent to handing the defense force directly into the hands of these two lower-nest guys.

What a trust this is!
Both of them were stunned for a moment.

"How about it, are you willing to take on this responsibility?"

Ron looked at the two men expectantly.

Faced with the Governor's expectant eyes, Yarui was very excited.

"Damn it... Governor, you are such a good man. I will be the commander of the legion!"

Keith seemed much calmer. He thought a lot about it and didn't quite believe that the governor would trust them so much.

But faced with this gift, he still accepted it with pleasure.

In any case, if the two of them take over the positions of regiment commander and staff officer, the situation of the defense soldiers will be much better.

He performed a standard etiquette: "I accept the appointment!"

Ron nodded with satisfaction and threw out another heavy bombshell:
"The Defense Force has contributed too much to the Royal Court District. In the future, the administrative level of the Defense Force will be improved, and its status will be equal to other combat units in the Royal Court District."

This will be a major change.

After the rebellion, the original defense corps was almost completely destroyed.

The few remaining regiments were also trapped in the lower nest and the bottom nest, unable to return to the embrace of the royal court.

In order to cope with the new combat missions, Bayev reorganized the defense forces.

He selected suitable people from the Lower Nest refugees to form a new defense corps.

The new defense force is positioned as cannon fodder among cannon fodder and is a consumable.

The status has declined too much.

It was almost equivalent to being a slave, and they couldn't even fill their stomachs.

The combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the previous defense forces.

Ron decided to change this situation and give the defense force new honor and mission.

The warriors will no longer be slaves, but defenders of the planet Ers and heroes worthy of respect!
“In short, the defense forces will no longer be restricted by others.

Your lives are valuable and deserve due honor. No one dares to look down on you anymore!"

Yarui was so excited that he was shaking all over and his eyes were wet.

The electronic prosthetic eye suddenly shone brightly.

Yarui swore an oath:

"I, the Immortal Yarui, will never betray your trust even if I fall into hell!"

At this time, Keith was also somewhat moved. He lowered his head and said, "Governor, I will offer my loyalty!"

Ron nodded:
“The Royal Court needs a combat-ready and loyal defense force.

You are very capable, so I will give you full autonomy to recruit and train the defense forces in your own way."

He patted their shoulders and said, "The defense force is now in your hands. Don't let me down!"

Ron's unreserved trust touched Yarui even more, and he secretly vowed to repay this trust with his life.

Keith's impression of the young governor also changed, and his words and actions became more respectful.

This is also what Ron wanted.

To be honest, he had no idea how to train the defense forces or how to keep the soldiers loyal.

There is not even enough energy to manage the defense force.

All he can do is pick the right people and let them do the work.

Since Yarui and Keith are talented, I will give them enough autonomy.

Let them do their work without any worries!
Afterwards, Ron invited Ari and Keith to have lunch together.

After the gold and gems were stripped away, the spire mansion became less luxurious. But with Linda's efforts, the craftsmen redecorated it with other materials, and the overall look became more advanced.

Yari and Keith sat in the magnificent banquet hall, feeling somewhat uneasy.

They had never been in such a high-end place and were afraid of making a fool of themselves.

Under Ron's new rules, lunch at Spire Mansion became much simpler.

Today's lunch is Grox steak and Acorn pastry, accompanied by Manola wine.

These foods seemed ordinary to Ron.

But for those outside the Spire Mansion, it is an untouchable delicacy.

Yari took a bite of the Grox steak and his mechanical eye flashed.

Damn, this stuff is damn delicious!

He didn't know how to describe such deliciousness.

All I know is that the food in front of me is ten thousand times more delicious than corpse starch and the radiation mushrooms in the bottom nest!
He was cutting the steak in a hurry, wishing he could reach out and grab it.

But the Governor was right across the street, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

But he couldn't control the strength of his hands and the plate made a rattling sound when cut.

Keith next to him was in a similar situation. He was completely won over by the tender and juicy steak and the sweet and sour Akenberry cake.

His taste buds were about to explode.

He tried hard to control his demeanor and maintain his composure.

We can't embarrass ourselves in front of the Governor!

Ron ate his steak while secretly observing the two of them.

He knew clearly how rare such food was for people outside.

So he tried to remain silent and didn't pay too much attention.

Let them enjoy the food to their heart's content.

Ron decided to invite more important subordinates to lunch in the future.

While rewarding them, you can also bring them closer together.

While eating, Ron noticed that Ari was wiping away his tears. He looked up at him, hesitating to say something.

Yarui hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but speak:
"Your Majesty the Governor..."

"Captain Yarui, please tell me what you have to say."

Ron tried to keep his voice gentle so as not to put too much pressure on the other party.

"I thought of the soldiers in the Legion. They... they are still hungry!"

Yarui hesitated.

Case looked up and added:
"In recent months, the Defense Corps has been seriously short of supplies, sometimes even less than the workers in the factories.

Due to long-term hunger, the combat effectiveness of the defense forces was severely reduced, and some even starved to death.

If supplies are not replenished in time, there will be more serious consequences..."

Ron was silent after listening to Keith's words.

He knew about these situations.

In the face of insufficient food reserves in the Royal Court, the Logistics Department first cut the defense force's material rations.

According to the investigation of the Logistics Department, most of the new recruits of the Defense Forces do not survive more than three months.

They are all consumables anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether you are full or not.

As long as they have the strength to pick up the gun and shoot.

Therefore, the supplies of the defense forces were repeatedly reduced, to the point where they could not even keep up with the workers in the factories.

In fact, that is not an isolated case. Material rations are being reduced in all parts of the territory.

Including those administrative units.

"Yes, yes, yes, cunning... the staff officer is right!"

Yarui nodded and looked at Ron pleadingly: "Governor, the soldiers need food!"
