I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 168

March 26 this year is the eleventh birthday of Emperor Eiffel I. As the emperor's first birthday after he ascended the throne, cabinet officials agreed that it should be celebrated with great fanfare.The new emperor is still young, and it is not yet time to make achievements, so he can only rely on this method to increase his influence in the hearts of the people.At the same time, this is also one of the means to express that the empire is still prosperous.

"However, the country is not peaceful now. The ministers of state and the others are already overwhelmed. If you let them worry about my birthday..." After the prime minister, the Marquis of Chatterley, proposed to hold a birthday party for himself, Eiffel was obviously not very happy. Agree with this approach.

Although the emperor was young, he was not comparable to children of the same age.At this age, most boys in aristocratic families are still acting violently in order to get what they love, but Eiffel is worrying about reducing the workload of officials and reducing the expenditure of the national treasury.

"Your Majesty's birthday is not your personal matter. No, it's not just your birthday. Everything about you is no longer just about you. This is one of your obligations as the emperor." Although he was pleased with the emperor's maturity, But the Marquess of Chatterley still had to tell this fact.

"Does the emperor have to take on this obligation? Even he has to give up?" The words of the Marquis of Chatterley made Eiffel shrink back, but he had already learned to control his facial expressions.

"Unless you want to be a foolish king, then you can do whatever you want." The young imperial prime minister and the younger imperial emperor smiled at each other.

"I understand!" Eiffel nodded, "Then let Qing decide this matter."

The matter of His Majesty's birthday banquet had been notified to the entire Galactic Empire in early March, and the time was intentionally advanced nearly one month in order to allow those officials and nobles who came from distant galaxies to congratulate them to leave time for their voyage.

Therefore, during the period at the end of March, Aschet, the capital star of the Galactic Empire, gathered many nobles with territories in remote galaxies, and some were high-ranking officials stationed in galaxies.It is also this opportunity that some officials whose families are originally in the capital galaxy can return to their hometowns in the capital galaxy.

That was the case with the Ralph von Hyjal family.His father served as the highest military attache in the Vega galaxy for nearly 40 years, and because of this credit, Joseph VII awarded him the title of Earl.The Hyjal family thus became nobles of the empire, and the highest garrison military officer of the Vega system also became a hereditary official position of the Hyjal family.

However, the 26-year-old Ralph von Haijal has no interest in succeeding his father's position as the chief garrison of the Vega galaxy.He graduated from the most famous university in the Galactic Empire - Aschet University named after the capital star four years ago.All along, his major has been how to deal with money, which is also his interest.He has no interest in the seemingly high-ranking official position of garrison military officer, which is actually boring and poor.

Therefore, after graduating from university, he always wanted to stay in Capital Star.Because his father wanted him to return to Vega, his initial wish to enter the logistics department of the Imperial Army fell through.He was not from a military academy, nor did he have any senior military officials recommended for him. It was simply impossible for him to enter the military logistics department of Capital Star.

After having no hope of entering the Military Logistics Department, Ralph von Heigl, who did not want to return to the Vega Galaxy, had to work in a small import and export trading company.His father was so angry that he stopped supporting him financially immediately after graduation.The meager salary, high prices and rent in the imperial capital make Hyjal, who has always lived a carefree life, very embarrassed.Coupled with the fact that the small trading company quickly closed down due to poor management, Hyjal, who had failed to find a job again, had to return to the Vega Galaxy under the pressure of life.

After returning to the Vega galaxy, Hyjal entered the galaxy garrison system and became a junior clerk. The tedious and mostly meaningless work every day made him almost lose hope in life.Because he was too coping with work and was very negative about life, his father had no choice but to let it go after several tantrums.Lord Hyjal thought that one day, his unworthy son would change his mind and want to inherit his office.For the only boy in his family, Lord Hyjal felt powerless.

The reason why Ralph von Heigal was willing to be his father's entourage this time and followed the fleet to Capital Star, a place where he knew the cruel reality, was because his former classmate sent him an ultra-long-distance communication.And the main content of this long-distance communication is that the major fleets are now recruiting newcomers from various fields. Because of the suspension of classes in various military academies last year, there was only one class of graduates in the past two years, so the direction of this recruitment is different. It is no longer limited to military school graduates or low-level military officers who want to change positions, but is recruited from the entire empire.Of course, various audits including identity and family must be carried out.

Hyjal's grades were very good when he was in school, and his family was also an orthodox military family, and he also had work experience, so his former classmates thought that he had every chance to enter the regular fleet and become a logistics supply officer.

So, on March 26, after sending his father to the gate of the palace, Hyjal quickly drove the speeding car away from the palace and rushed towards the address sent to him by his classmates.Among the addresses sent to him by his classmates, there are four or five fleet stations that are recruiting logistics officers. Hyjal has studied it carefully for a while.Except for the Eighth Fleet, the other fleets have almost complete official systems, so they may be relatively strict in recruitment.As for the Eighth Fleet, the entire staff from the commander down is almost all young people, and many of them are even students who have just graduated from the military academy, and they also have the greatest demand for logistics personnel.So Hyjal decided to try his luck with the Eighth Fleet first.

As the highest military officer stationed in the Vega galaxy, his father would first be received by His Majesty the Emperor before going to the banquet, which took him almost a day, so Hyjal had enough time to go to the three fleets for trial training.

The Eighth Fleet's station was quite far from the imperial palace, and it arrived after nearly two hours driving the speeding vehicle.

After parking the flying car in the civilian parking lot, Hyjal told the guards what he wanted.Obviously, a lot of people have come to the Eighth Fleet for trial training these days.After Hyjal showed his identity certificate and education certificate, the guards let him in, and a few minutes later, the soldiers responsible for leading him took him into the office area of ​​the station.

Hyjal walked and observed. Compared with the stagnant garrison troops in the galaxy, this new Eighth Fleet seemed very vigorous. Of course, from another aspect, it can also be said that they appear very immature.

"Anyone who applies for a position in the logistics department must go to the garrison military port for trial training, but today you are the only one." The soldier who led the way said to Hyjal, "I will take you to the military port now, and I will leave when I get there. If you try The trainer is not here, just wait a moment."

Hyjal nodded, almost everyone here was walking around in big strides, looking very busy. "Can I ask why everyone seems so busy?"

"This is a military secret. You haven't become a member of the Eighth Fleet yet. This is not something you should ask." Hearing what Hyjal said, the soldier replied with a sullen face.

"Okay, I'm very sorry." Hyjal touched his nose and replied embarrassingly.

After arriving at the military port, he led the soldiers and left.As expected, the trial officer was not there, so Hyjal could only stay in the military port and wait boredly.

Just when he began to carefully observe the structure of the military port because he was bored, there was a burst of noise.It came from the entrance of the naval port. Obviously, a ship will enter the port in this channel.Hyjal felt a little excited, and unconsciously ran a few steps in the direction where the battleship was about to enter the port.

Immediately afterwards, amidst the louder noise, a huge dark blue warship slowly sailed into the naval port.

That majestic and powerful battleship made Hyjal feel his throat dry. Having seen standard battleships, he knew that this was definitely not an ordinary battleship, but a flagship!And it's a first-class flagship.But at this moment, he didn't know that this flagship was once the ship of the current Marshal of the Empire.

"Hey, over there, which department are you from!"

There was a shout not far away, Hyjal was stunned until a young lieutenant ran towards him, and then he realized that the other party was talking to him. "I, I'm the logistics department..."

"Oh, I see. Then you have to hurry up." The young lieutenant obviously misunderstood, he interrupted Hyjal, nodded and handed a large stack of reports to Hyjal , quickly began to explain: "This is the material that needs to be replenished. All the supplies in Parsifal need to be replaced. You have to carefully check the materials that will be sent up, and then complete the supply as soon as possible! Remember, this matter must Finish it before tomorrow morning! Your Excellency Commander will be inspecting it tomorrow morning! Really, why did the logistics department only come to you for such a big matter... Forget it, forget it, I have to meet the flagship of other commanders, hurry up Let's work!"

The young lieutenant quickly explained the mission clearly, without giving Hyjal a chance to intervene, he trotted towards where he came from, complaining as he walked, "Why are the people in the Eighth Fleet so unreliable? Why don't you even wear a military uniform!"

"Hey, hey! That..." Hyjal shouted helplessly, but he didn't call the lieutenant back. At this time, the soldiers of the logistics department of the military department who were transporting supplies had already brought in the transport ship.

At this moment, the old and new owners of the flagship were listening to His Majesty's orders in the palace.
