This move can be said to be his most beautiful counterattack since the Civil War, and it has nothing to do with repeating it again, and it relies entirely on himself at the time.
You know, with Rean's current reputation - whether it was blown out or not, it would be impossible for him to become an instructor in a newly established branch. It would be more like being a principal or dean of teaching at Thorz Main School.
Although the original plan was actually to join the military or government, continue to contribute to the empire and build momentum at the same time.
However, since the end of the civil war and knowing Osborn's identity and some shady stories, Rean has been resisting working under him, so he finally used a lot of connections to quietly operate the second branch of Thorz.
Even if he had the chance to come back, Li En still felt that this choice was right. The abandoned sons in Osborne's eyes are actually the ones Rean can unite with. Unless we go back to the earlier civil war and give him more time and space to do more.
Of course, you can only think about this kind of thing in your heart, and remain calm on the surface.
"It's been a long time, Major Rector. The last time was at the end of last year."
"Ah, indeed." Rean pretended to be confused, but Lecter didn't care and turned to the others, "Miss Herschel hasn't been seen for a long time. You must feel very nervous about facing Mr. Gendarmerie Major, right?"
"Ah haha, it's not that restrictive anymore." Tova said with a smile knowing that he was referring to rejecting the invitation from the "Railway Gendarmerie".
"Can you stop talking in such a pretentious manner, Major Alandel?" Mihail was not so polite. It seemed that he was very rude to everyone.
Rector stopped talking and said nothing more, then looked at Randy: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Orlando. Our 'chief' seems to have said something that is difficult for others to do, right?"
The chief is the chief of the "Iron-Blooded Sons" and the current governor of Crossbell, Rufus Albarea, code-named "Emerald City General".
Whether he became the governor of a state or became the chief among the elite "Iron Sons", you can see his skill. It was he who threatened Randy to come to the second branch as an instructor at the expense of the safety of his colleagues in the support department.
Being spoken out by Rector at this time was like exposing someone's wounds in person. Fortunately, Randy didn't care, at least on the surface, he still had the intention to tease Rector:
"Haha, it really doesn't sound like what you would say, 'Scarecrow'. Although I owe you a favor, there is no need to care about that now. Let's treat each other as equals."
"It's nice to hear you say that, so-"
"Scarecrow" is Rector's code name, and he is also one of the "Iron-Blooded Sons". He is so named because of his skill in private operations and negotiation. This can be seen from the time he showed up and communicated with four people in four different attitudes.
Now that the subordinates have all asked questions, it’s time to go to the boss.
Alleria spoke first, showing her bossy demeanor:
"Haha, what's the matter, Iron-Blooded's confidant, don't worry about me, you can enjoy reminiscing about the past."
"No."
Having said that, it was impossible for Lecter to really leave the biggest boss alone and bow down.
"This is the first time we meet. I am Major Lecter Alandel, a special agent of the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency - please give me your advice."
Alleria still sat still, her energy was as overwhelming as the mountain: "Unlike the 'girl' and the 'city general', this is indeed the first time we met. Haha, as long as you think of the process of my appointment, you will not be able to breathe. It feels like we’re meeting for the first time.”
"Haha, that's too much of a compliment. I'm extremely ashamed." Lecter was indeed much thicker-skinned than the others. He just carried Alleria's momentum and kept bowing.
You must know that other people in the conference room were already holding their breath involuntarily. Even Miriam, a heartless person, felt terrible.
However, everyone understands that the duel between the two can only go so far. If they want to break up, they will not wait until now. After a round of mutual testing, the long-delayed combat briefing can finally get down to business.
But even Alleria didn't expect that the atmosphere after entering the main topic would be more solemn than before.
Randy sighed repeatedly, and Tova, who had always been good-tempered, even slapped the table. This was the first time she had made such a gaffe since she joined the company.
"The content of the plan is too messy!" Abnormal actions occurred on the west side of the empire. Many hunting regiments deliberately resisted, as well as the "Association·Body-Eating Snake". The newly established Thorz Second Division was ordered to Branch campuses go to various places to deal with it.' Let the newly admitted students engage in 'actual combat', so they are basically the 'scapegoats'!"
“But this is also one of the conditions for the approval of the establishment of the second branch.”
Facing Tova's question, Mihail explained calmly.
The empire's current situation is actually quite delicate. It has indeed become the strongest in the Western Continent through a series of changes, but it has also made enemies in many ways.
Because of the Crossbell issue, the relationship with the second largest country, the Kalvard Republic, has dropped to a freezing point. There have been constant conflicts on the border. Recently, a large-scale battle has occurred in the Norde Plateau, which is only one step away from a local war.
The country is also unstable, and various espionage activities occur frequently, especially in the eastern region adjacent to Crossbell. This greatly affects the strength of the Intelligence Agency and the Railway Gendarmerie, and Miriam will also be busy with this in the future.
In this case, it is indeed difficult to deal with the "Body-Eating Snake", the strongest underground organization in the mainland, so other inhibitory forces need to be introduced to fight against it.
No wonder Alleria made such a comment:
"This can be said to be the correct way to use 'abandoned son'. Who organized and planned this?"
"It's the Intelligence Bureau, but the TMP (Railway Gendarmerie) also provides assistance." Mihail answered.
"Anyway, to make it clear, His Excellency Prime Minister Gillias Osborne. And the opinions of His Excellency Rufus Albarea, Governor of Crossbell, have also been taken into consideration." Rector added.
This is an expected answer. No one else has the ability or courage to use the entire second branch.
"But it would be unavoidable to let the freshmen be the 'scapegoats'——"
Tova wanted to say more, but was forcibly interrupted by Rean.
"Senior sister, their target is not the new students, but us, all the instructors of Torz Second Branch."
"ah--"
Tova didn't react until he did this.
Although the number of instructors in the second branch is small, they are all elites. Simply comparing quality may not be better than the main school.
"Grey Knight" Rean Schwarzer is not only powerful in his own right, but also possesses the black technology to create a riding god that can overturn the situation of the battle.
Randy was once the young master and captain of the "Red Constellation", one of the strongest mercenary groups in the mainland, and had experienced countless wars.
Mihail is a senior cadre of the Railway Gendarmerie and his abilities are obvious to all.
Tova herself also made great contributions to commanding Thorz's students during the civil war, and her outstanding abilities shocked the entire empire.
Not to mention the fact that Alleria, who has the most powerful force in the empire and can command hundreds of thousands of troops, is here.
Such an elite gathering is the restraining force that can compete with an association of masters. The so-called students are just a bargaining chip to tie them to the chariot, although this is indeed good for the growth of students.
Tova and Rean's growth today is indeed due to the troubled "special internship".
However, it must be admitted that Osborne's method this time is indeed not glorious.
For a moment, Tova and Randy's expressions were extremely ugly, and even Rean, who had already understood Osborne's intention, could not take it lightly.
The only exception is Alleria. The boss's energy-raising skills are indeed extraordinary.
"I know everything you said. It's really meaningful. Shu Huaze, what's your opinion?"
"Eh?" Li En was slightly startled. He didn't seem to have such an impression.
Isn’t this your hall of expression?
