"I thought it was the guys in the Central Star District who were responsible, but I didn't know that the most ridiculous one was the one from the Phillips family. No, I can't bear it, I want to tell my father." Zhou Xiuwen was still listening carefully. , now he couldn't sit still.
It turned out that Jiang Hui told him about the accident in the exam before and did not elaborate on the situation of Phillips. Zhou Xiuwen immediately assumed that the incident was caused by a fight, and the reason why Jiang Hui and the others were chosen for this situation was probably Phillips’ family background, I didn’t expect that there was also the “performance” of Phillips himself.
Jiang Hui looked at him sideways, and it was normal for Zhou Xiuwen to feel angry. This friend of hers is a decent person, and he values his friends even more, but he won't report to Marshal Zhou.
Phillips' trip was a bit unkind, but there wasn't much that could be done to him. Even if he really reported it to the military department, it would be dereliction of duty at best. Considering the other party's family background, he would only receive a moderate punishment for this operation. And that was something directly related to him. Why did Zhou Xiuwen speak so angrily, as if...this Phillips had something to do with them.
If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have heard Taylor say that Colonel Phillips was from the First Regiment.
Wait...First Legion? ! Jiang Hui suddenly remembered something that seemed to be mentioned in an old newspaper she had read - she believed that her memory would never be wrong.
As soon as Zhou Xiuwen saw Jiang Hui's expression, he knew what she was thinking, and said calmly to his two friends: "Indeed, if he is from another family, I can't control anything. The worst is to stay away from him in the future..." But this guy It happened to be related to their family.
Zhou Yuanjing was once the commander and person in power of the imperial military. At his peak, the six marshals under him did not even dare to compete with him. Of the nineteen elite legions in the empire, he alone controls five.
Among them, the First Legion, the Eleventh Legion, and the Twenty-third Legion are all the top among the nineteen elites.
The 13th and 33rd legions were supported step by step after Zhou Yuanjing came to power. In the past, they were just small and medium-sized legions that were relatively weak. In addition, the Zhou family also controls several powerful expeditionary armies and more than a dozen small and medium-sized legions.
It can be said that Zhou Yuanjing had monopolized more than half of the power in the military at the beginning. Although the military department would not become his monopoly, it could be said that he had the absolute authority.
Nowadays, those people above are really far behind Zhou Yuanjing back then, not only in terms of ability, but also in terms of control. Otherwise, how could the empire have ended up in such a mess in recent years?
It's just that Zhou Yuanjing was poisoned and was unable to take charge of the overall situation. There were villains who made trouble, and his power was gradually weakened.
Under the joint suppression of the six marshals, the vitality of the 11th and 33rd legions under him was severely damaged. Later, after the first legion was replaced by commander-in-chief, Zhou Yuanjing was left with only four elite legions, two of which were severely damaged. level of suppression.
In order to prevent the various forces from further consuming each other, and for the sake of his comrades, family and friends who had been loyal to him for many years, Zhou Yuanjing had to choose to withdraw from the position of power, support his body, and return to the former Star No. 732 with his only son. on one's last legs.
Who would have thought that Zhou Yuanjing, who had shocked both the inside and outside for hundreds of years on the battlefield, would one day be controlled by others, and the people who stabbed him in the back were not his enemies, but his compatriots who were huddled in the rear and enjoyed his protection. I have to say it is really a great irony.
So the first legion was once Zhou Yuanjing's legion, but now Yi has changed his coach and another group of troops from the military department has been stationed.
Of course, such acts of seizing power cannot be made obvious, otherwise they will probably be scolded to death by the people of the empire who support Zhou Yuanjing before they can seek benefits for their own forces. They had always claimed that Zhou Yuanjing had relapsed from an old injury and lacked energy, so he was unable to control such a legion before replacing him.
And Zhou Yuanjing also acquiesced to this out of various considerations, or it should be said that he simply ignored it.
Although the commander of the legion was changed and the Zhou family lost control of the legion, its power was not eradicated.
There are still a large number of people loyal to Zhou Yuanjing who remain in the First Army Corps, and they still stick to their original posts. In terms of merit, qualifications and even ability, the people transferred in from the military department cannot shake their status at all.
This large number of remaining forces is the guarantee for Zhou Yuanjing, or should I say Zhou Xiuwen, to regain control of the First Army, which can only be realized in the future.
Ordinarily, Zhou Yuanjing's body cannot recover now, and Zhou Xiuwen is too young to take charge of major affairs. The forces that finally usurped the First Legion will definitely try their best to eat away at Zhou Yuanjing's old troops in the legion.
But I have to say that the vision of the people above is also quite useless. The person in charge who was sent was actually a piece of mud that could not hold up the wall. In the ten years since he was in charge, he not only failed to gather much power, but also almost caused trouble.
The military was afraid that Zhou Yuanjing would use this as an excuse to gather back the First Legion, so they considered re-selecting a new person in charge. There are three candidates, one of whom is Phillips' father, Odysseus Phillips.
The other party came from a well-off family and had sufficient qualifications. He was relatively close to those in the military, so he was considered suitable. Of course the other two are at similar levels——
So who to choose depends on their abilities.
In order to gain more support, Admiral Phillips was not afraid of being feared and showed up in front of Zhou Yuanjing.
I have to say that the other party is really smart, guessing that Zhou Yuanjing does not want to take back the authority of the First Legion for the time being. In this case, it doesn't matter who is in charge for the other party, as long as you don't disturb the Zhou family's roots in the legion.
Although Zhou Yuanjing did not respond most of the time, he also took note of some of the other party's political achievements and achievements. Compared with the other two, Admiral Phillips was indeed better, so he accepted his little actions by default.
But if you go by what Jiang Hui said, Admiral Phillips is good, but his son is so overestimating his abilities and seeking great achievements... This is a big hidden danger.
Zhou Xiuwen wanted to report this to his father, because not only himself, but his father also hated this kind of people, thinking that they were the beginning of chaos in the family.
For some reasons, they temporarily let those people control the First Legion, but that was not forever. If the decision is made incorrectly and the Phillips and his son are allowed to take over at will, they will regret it if something goes wrong in the future.
The other party even made an appointment to have a meeting with Zhou Yuanjing the day after tomorrow, and talked about how to clear up the backstage implicated by the dark forces. It is said that they hope to get the support of Zhou Xiuwen's father... Then you should really think carefully about whether the other party really wants revenge. Still want to exclude dissidents under their banner.
Zhou Xiuwen felt that he needed to have a good talk with his father about this.
