I am Honkai!

"Hello, General Marcus." Seeing that someone took the initiative to speak to her, Najie Xitan replied to Marcus with a forced smile.

"You can just call me Marcus. Seeing General Najehitan's sad face... What's the matter? Are you not used to attending the military debriefing meeting for the first time?" Marcus asked.

"..."

"Alas..." Seeing that Najie Xitan didn't respond, Marcus sighed softly, and continued: "The recent events in the empire are indeed a bit ridiculous... But so what, wait until His Majesty becomes an adult and takes charge, I believe that the empire will be revived one day, just like the first emperor did at that time."

"But..."

"Look out..." Just like that, the two of you talked to each other, and the local veteran general named Marcus imparted a lot of official experience to Najie Xitan, who had just ascended the position of general.

And at this moment, the side door of the conference hall was pushed open, and an ice-blue figure walked in, carrying a slight chill, and the discussion in the conference room suddenly became quieter.

"Esdeath..."

Wearing a white military uniform, Esdeth ignored the strange eyes of others, and just walked to the seat at the front of the conference room and sat down in his own way.

It does not belong to the imperial guard system or the local army system. Judging from Esdesi's appearance, it seems that he wants to form a line of his own.

"Is she Esdesh? Isn't she from the Imperial Guard system? Why didn't she sit with those legion commanders?" Looking at the ice-blue figure in the front row, Najie Xitan wondered.

"She's out of the Janissaries," Marcus said.

"What? Why did she quit..."

And just when Najie Xitan asked the question again, outside the palace, there was a sound of neat armor clashing, as if countless soldiers stood at attention and saluted at the same time.

Najie Xitan and Marcus looked at each other, still guessing, and then heard the sound of mountains roaring and tsunami outside the hall: "Meet the general!"

The next moment, the door of the conference hall suddenly opened wide, and two guards entered first, stood with their hands tied, and said loudly:

"General, Supervise the Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, and Ninth Legions of the Imperial Guard, Commander of the Imperial Capital Garrison, Governor of the Northern Territory, and the Duke of Habsburg!!!"

Accompanied by the sound of crisp footsteps, a bright and gorgeous slender figure gradually entered Najie Xitan's eyes.

Her waist-length white hair was quietly draped behind her, and under the light of the golden crystal chandelier, the silver-haired and red-eyed Selene was like a goddess at this moment, so dazzling and so unreachable.

I saw Selene wearing a dark blue lining and a silver-white light armor, slowly walking towards the rostrum in the center of the conference hall.

"My name is Selene von Habsburg. As entrusted by General Budd, I will preside over this military debriefing meeting."

Although it was a little strange why General Bude did not preside over the meeting as in previous years, but considering that Selene is also a general, it seemed reasonable for her to preside over the meeting.

"Greetings to the general!" Hearing this, all the generals and legion commanders, including Esdes and Najie Hitan, bowed their heads and saluted.

"Excuse me. Then I announce the start of the meeting." Sitting on the central rostrum, Selene took out the handbook and began to announce today's topic slowly, "Today's first topic is about General Esdes's departure from the Praetorian Guards system, give a legion organization, a proposal for self-development."

"Due to the separation from the Imperial Guard system, the Imperial Guard has since canceled all military appropriations to it, and the appropriation has been transferred to Minister Hornest's direct responsibility."

"Is there any question?" Selene narrowed her scarlet eyes slightly as she said that, and turned to the civil servants dispatched by Ornest.

Those non-human diamond-shaped pupils and indifferent voice made these civil servants tremble in fright. They didn't dare to talk too much, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Reporting to the general, there is no problem with humble positions."

"What about you?" Selene continued to ask.

Hearing this, the commanders of the major armies of the Imperial Guard didn't even think about it: "Second."

"agree."

"agree."

...

"Then continue with the second topic, about the garrison quota after the completion of the reconstruction of Yueshan Pass, the fortress on the southwestern border of the empire..."

------

Chapter 160 Nine

"As for the garrison quota at Yueshan Pass, after my consultation with General Bude, it is set at 36000. What's your opinion on the southwestern garrison?"

"General, I don't think so many are needed for the time being... After the general's crusade, the foreign races in the Southwest are no longer a climate. The garrison at Yueshan Pass is 21000 people. Among them, I suggest that the line of defense can also be extended to the outside world. The human team gradually advances, compressing the living space of people of other races.”

Looking at the reputation, Selene found that the person speaking on behalf of the Southwest Defense Army was actually an acquaintance, that is, the garrison officer who had served as Selene's southern expedition guide. Judging by his rank, it seemed that he had also been promoted.

"Well, it does make sense... However, for the time being, we will still train according to the standard of 36000 people. As for your proposal, write a detailed plan within three days and send it to General Bude for a decision." Selene said.

"Yes!"

...

"Then the next third topic is about the encirclement and suppression planning of the rebel forces in the southern border... the garrison of your southern provinces is in charge, remember! Follow the policy formulated by General Budd and I—implement military suppression and material blockade , Change the policy of preferring to kill by mistake to disintegrate and disintegrate, and those who voluntarily surrender will be dealt with leniently."

"Yes!"

...

"The next fourth topic is about the overall refit plan of the Imperial Army's weapon preparation..."

...

"The eighth topic, the report on the signing of the above table..."

...

Without exception, all issues are basically passed by unanimous votes. Although the debriefing meeting talks about the participants making suggestions freely and freedom of speech, they actually understand everything.

Hold meetings for small matters, hold small meetings for major events, and not hold meetings for particularly important matters!

Usually, the more people attend a meeting, the less important the content of the meeting may be. On the contrary, there are not many people in an important meeting!The small meetings secretly held by the leadership office are what matter.

There are no meetings to solve key issues, and meetings are always held for unresolved issues. Small circles decide big things, and big meetings are ostentatious.

This principle is applicable both at all times and in all over the world.

The debriefing meeting was just a cutscene, used to inform the local garrison about the development priorities for the next two years, and by the way, generals from all over the empire were summoned to show their faces and act as a deterrent.

Time passed, and soon, today's debriefing meeting came to an end.

"The last topic, the main target of the empire's conquest in the next two years, my thoughts, the western border of the empire."

"Due to the complex geographical environment of the western mountains and forests, there are a large number of bandits roaming around. Among them...according to the intelligence of the Empire's assassination forces, an elite unit of the southern rebel army is fleeing in the Commodore Mountains in the west. It needs to be encircled and suppressed .”

"In addition to the participation of the local garrison troops in the western region, I decided to send some of the elite imperial capital to participate in the battle."

At first, I thought it was just a cutscene, but when I heard Selene said that I would send another part of the imperial elite to participate in the battle, at this moment, the legion commanders in the audience woke up instantly, this is a good place to earn military exploits!

Jin Sa, head of the Eighth Army Corps of the Imperial Guard, raised his hand first and said, "General, I apply. Our Eighth Army Corps is responsible for this encirclement and suppression mission."

Following Jin Sa's first application, everyone fell silent. The legion commanders looked at each other, and the air was instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"No, no, general, I think our Sixth Army, which is the strongest in mountain combat, is more suitable." The head of the Sixth Army objected.

"I think our No.12 Legion is more suitable."

"Bah! The west is a mountainous area. Why do you join in the fun with the [-]th Legion and a navy?!"

"What's wrong? The navy can't participate? Our navy is still better than you when we go ashore!"

"I see you are thinking of peaches."

"No, no, I think our Fourth Legion is more suitable. You juniors, stay behind for me!"

The smell of gunpowder became more and more intense. Except for the first legion that needed to defend the imperial city without making a sound, the other eleven legion chiefs immediately began to push and stare at each other. Although they were brothers, now it was about the glory of the legion and they must not back down!

The local generals who watched this fiery scene were really hooked. Even if Selene hadn't stopped it in time, this solemn and solemn parliament hall was about to stage a full-scale military parade.

In this regard, the annoyed Selene threw them all out, each of them watched the free fall for half an hour, and finally decided not to send the Guards to join the battle, and asked the civil servants who were watching to inform Ornest, The Imperial assassination unit he was in charge of entered the war.

"Then... the meeting is over, let's adjourn!" After saying that, Selene disappeared instantly.

Seeing Selene leave, the participating generals also began to leave one after another, chatting and laughing, and the only one frowning among them was Najie Xitan.

She was still a little unaccustomed to the atmosphere of the imperial guards being overjoyed at the news of the war. Could war be a shortcut to meritorious service in their eyes?

Moreover, she has objections to the encirclement and suppression of the western mountainous areas. Those bandits are just poor people who have fallen into bandits. They can be appeased, so why should they be brutally suppressed across the board?

......

Imperial Palace, Ernest's bedroom.

"So, Selene and Bud agreed to let you go? I thought Selene would hold on to you." He directly grabbed a large steak with his hands, and Minister Ernest babbled while eating. Clear the way.

"...But that's okay, I will definitely do what I promised you. As long as you train the new legion well, you can conquer the foreign nations in the north as you please, and the position of general is not impossible."

"..." Esdes was not interested in the position of general at all, but thought that he could use this matter to facilitate his own goals, so he nodded and said, "There will be such a day, but..."

"To train the new army, in addition to financial support, I also need a lot of helpers." Esdes took the opportunity and began to raise conditions.

With his big hand full of oil stains, Minister Ernest nodded and said: "Whoever you need, you can mention it at will."

"Hehe, it is enough to have the minister's words." The corners of Esdesi's mouth curled up slightly, showing a satisfied smile.

Imperial Prison, Death Row.

This is the place where death row prisoners are held. Like ordinary death row prisoners, imperial generals like Esdes have the right to propose it, and they can even try to find a way to pardon them.

But death row prisoners are not good, what are prisoners, they usually offend the high-level imperial nobles, without the nod of Minister Ornest, unless the two generals take action, otherwise they can only be tortured here and wait to die slowly.

"Where's the warden?" Walking in this deep, quiet passage full of rancid smell, Esdeth turned his head and asked the jailer beside him.

"The warden seems to have been ordered by some important person to go to the death row and pardon a certain death row prisoner. I don't know the specifics about the humble position." The jailer said.

"Some important person... pardoning the death row?"

Let the warden make a trip in person with one order?Unconsciously, Estes suddenly had an ominous premonition, "Don't cut me off!" His pace quickened instantly.

And meanwhile, deep in Death Row, outside a separate cell.

The warden held the amnesty decree signed by someone in his hand, and said, "Bong..."

------

Chapter 170 Xiao Ai, I Won’t Give You Liwa

"Under the orders of General Selene, General Liwa, you are pardoned!"

Creaking, the prison door was opened.

Inside the cell was a middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a shabby prison uniform. He had silver-white flowing bangs and two sexy moustaches on his lips. He was sitting cross-legged on a straw bed, meditating with his eyes closed. .

He is the former imperial general, Liwa. Because he was too upright and refused to bribe the prison army sent by Minister Ornest, he was framed and ended up being thrown into prison.

Hearing this, Liwa, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes instantly, "General Selene? Why did she save me... I should not belong to the Imperial Guard system."

Standing outside the cell door with hands tied, the warden said indifferently: "Who knows?"

"Maybe it's because of General Liwa that you are a useful talent." Then, the warden motioned the guards to untie the chains on Liwa.

"..." Liwa stood up slowly after untying his shackles, "I didn't expect that I, Liwa, could get out alive after entering the death row."

The warden shrugged, and then handed over the amnesty order, "Take it, congratulations, General Liva, you can go out now."

"Let's go, don't keep the general waiting."

And at this moment, da da, Esdesi walked over in white high-heeled boots, and stopped immediately after seeing the warden standing with his hands tied and Liwa walking out of the cell.

"Director, I need to mention someone..."

Is this cut off? !

"The warden, what is this?"

"According to the order of General Selene, General Liwa is pardoned and brought to the headquarters of the Imperial Guard to meet him." The warden said.

"I see." Instantly understood, Esdesi didn't ask much, then took out the screening list, crossed out Liwa at the top, and handed it over, "This is the person I need, let them all out. "

"General, do you have permission from above?"

"Here is Minister Hornest's pardon."

"Understood, please wait a moment for General Esdes." After receiving the pardon, the warden nodded and said, then turned and told the jailer, "Take General Liwa to see the general."

......

The imperial capital, Miyagi, and the headquarters of the Imperial Guard.

Above the resplendent hall, although Liwa was wearing a prison uniform, he was still upright and looked hale and hearty, "General, do you have any orders?"
