The aroma of hot black tea filled the conference room, but the voices of arguments never stopped.
"No, 3,000 people are too many, 500 at most, this is the biggest concession! Don't push your limits!" a division commander of the northern garrison said angrily.
The military ranks inside the wall are a bit special. Alvin is the regiment commander, Nair is the division commander, and Pixis is the southern commander. Although they are called the three major corps, their official positions are different in size.
Before, the Survey Corps was very unpopular.
"1,000 people, cannot be less than this number. Also, this is for the safety of the Queen. There are not even these people. Are you talking about the corps? Do you want to be superior to the Queen?" Marquis Derek said with a smile. Of course, this was only on the surface. At this moment, he wanted to punch that yelling bastard in the face. At the same time, he felt deeply that a phoenix with fallen feathers was worse than a chicken when the tea was cold.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they heard this. Although they wanted to evade the queen in their hearts, no one dared to say so on the surface. After all, the rule of the royal family was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Okay, just a thousand people, but the Queen's Guards..." President Daris started. He believed that the level and authority of the Central Gendarmerie should be lowered and placed alongside the three major corps. They could no longer do whatever they wanted as before.
"It is not impossible to be tied to the three major corps, but it cannot be placed under military and political jurisdiction and must be directly commanded by the Queen."
On this point, the debate was fierce, with arguments and disagreements. Some people said that the new Central Gendarmerie should be under the jurisdiction of the Gendarmerie, but Derek was not stupid and would not make concessions on this aspect.
After wrangling for two whole days, this morning, the matter finally came to an end.
The asking price is high, and the money is paid back on arrival. In the end, both parties compromised, and the final result was:
The new Central Military Police Regiment has a strength of 1,000 people, of which 500 people form the Queen's Guards, commanded by Ymir, and the other 500 people are divided into two teams, one of which is captained from the original surviving Central Military Police, and the other team is led by The nobles sent people to serve as captains.
The currently reorganized Central Gendarmerie has only about 500 members, and the remainder will be selected from aristocratic private armies and local corps.
In other words, the Central Military Police Regiment is managed by a guard captain and two captains, and is directly responsible to the Queen. Its specifications are the same as those of the three major corps, but it is not affiliated with the president's military system. However, it must also abide by the Intra-mural Human Charter and Laws and operations require the Queen's order and permission, and mutual supervision with the three major corps.
After a series of games, the red-faced two sides reluctantly reached an agreement, and the atmosphere finally relaxed.
"Now, the captain of the Queen's Guard of the Central Gendarmerie Regiment, can you tell us the information about the world outside the wall." Neil Decker, the commander of the Gendarmerie Regiment, said coldly.
Ymir, who had left the Survey Corps, wore the uniform of the Central Military Police Corps, and officially became the captain of the Queen's Guards, shook his head directly: "No, we must wait until Historia is officially crowned and the Central Military Police Corps is filled up.
Besides, you don’t have to worry at all. With the current situation, it is impossible to launch a battle to retake Wall Maria in a short time. "
At present, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the military and political affairs have officially announced Historia as the queen through newspapers, but they have not yet officially crowned her, and the ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow.
The well-known Marquis Derek also added: "This is a necessary vigilance, I hope you can understand it, and I want to inform you that Captain Ymir Guard has now been officially awarded the title of knight.
The candidate for deputy captain of the Queen's Guard has also been determined. Although your consent is not required according to the rules, I still want to say that this position will be held concurrently by Ryan Ackerman, the third detachment of the Survey Corps. I believe you must have heard of him. His name is that he defeated Kane the Cutthroat and rescued the queen. "
There was a sudden silence at the scene. The big guys thought of a certain scandal that had been widely circulated recently. Marquis Derek was a little surprised. He thought someone would criticize it. After all, Renn was also a new recruit.
"Haha, I think it's no problem. It's very interesting. Besides, with his current achievements, it's not too forced." Commander Pixis said with a smile. Ren's achievements this time were not small. He led people to attack Huanglong and killed him. Rhodes and Duiren suppressed the troops and solved all future troubles. President Daris personally honored him yesterday.
Captain Alvin smiled. Unlike Ymir, Ren did not leave the Survey Corps. He was actually just dragged into the Queen's Guard by Ymir. Of course he would not object to such a thing.
Neil Decker was equally impressed by Renn. He thought about the recent incident that had been talked about a lot in the neighborhood, and someone even asked him about it. His face twitched: "Although it is against the rules, it is your business."
No one objected. After all, the queen had already agreed and they had no right to interfere. Now Historia was not a puppet queen. Although it was not as good as previous kings, there were 1,000 armed men in the capital, coupled with Ymir's giant power. , even President Daris is very afraid.
Moreover, the elderly artist Daris also admires Renn, because Renn understands "art", unlike those ordinary people who have no vision.
For some reason, Renne is really famous this time, and almost everyone knows about it.
Recently, the propaganda machine has been activated to build momentum for the new queen. The military actually has no other choice. It is in urgent need of stabilizing people's hearts and has to do this.
This time Rhodes was killed directly by Ymir, so the goddess naturally did not have to become a "father's enemy".
The story about Historia was embellished and revised, and as newspapers spread throughout the world inside the wall, there was a lot of discussion in the city.
He trained hard since he was a training soldier, was willing to help others, and graduated with excellent results in the eleventh place. In the battle to recapture the Troost District, he was not afraid of danger and bravely rushed to the front line. The female giant capture battle is responsible for intercepting large numbers of giants from entering the forest. Giants appeared on the Wall of Rose, and they hurriedly evacuated the people regardless of safety. In the battle of Ertgar City, they persisted in fighting to the end without weapons. Opposing his father’s brutal rule…
The above situations are actually true. They are just beautified a little and given a few more compliments. This is not a lie. This is artistic processing.
There is another tidbit that is widely circulated, that is, young and promising, handsome, the strongest soldier of the new generation, the giant independently defeated 55 heads, cut off the head of the female giant, defeated the cutthroat head-on, and shattered the brutal The conspiracy of the unkind former King Rod, the famous "Beheader", the deputy captain of the Queen's Guards, Ren Ackerman, has an unclear relationship with the Queen...
As for what is unclear, the ambiguous relationship, etc., please see the next issue of City News - Exclusive Exploration section for details.
"Bang!"
In the third-floor office of the Central Military Police Regiment in the Royal Capital, a small building with beautiful scenery, Ymir slapped the newspaper on the desk and said angrily: "Who the hell wrote this article! What kind of hero?" Save the beauty, knight and princess, who allowed them to make this up!"
In the office, Mr. Ward, who had been led out of prison by Ymir, lowered his head slightly: "Captain of the Guard, this is all for publicity. After all, the Queen will be officially crowned tomorrow and there is an urgent need to build momentum.
This was written by a young man from the Propaganda Department who went by the pseudonym "Time Stream". The effect was unexpectedly good. The public responded enthusiastically and expressed great curiosity and attention. "
Mr. Ward's loyalty to the king is unquestionable, and he was forced to do so by Ren before.
Currently, Historia is the only royal bloodline. Although his status is not very honorable, Ward has been very serious and responsible in his work recently and never scratched his head. Of course, there is another point. If he doesn’t want to be in prison like Kenny, If he wears it, he must obey Ymir's orders, and it was Ymir and Ren who took him out of prison.
Ward has been promoted. He is now the captain of the Central Military Police Regiment. Many old Central Military Police have the same idea. If they don’t want to be liquidated or lose their jobs, they must hug the Queen’s lap. After all, their previous actions were too domineering, almost Offended all the military bosses.
With the full help of these senior Central Military Police, Ymir was able to take control of the entire Central Military Police Regiment in a short period of time. Of course, it was also related to the fact that Ymir won the trust of the Queen and the full support of the Survey Corps.
Ymir snorted coldly and looked at Ren, who was leisurely drinking black tea and admiring the rockery pool outside the window: "Why, young, promising, handsome deputy captain, stop talking, I asked you to help me. , I’m not here for you to sit around and drink tea.”
"Calm down, everyone has the desire to gossip, and you won't lose a piece of meat by saying a few gossips. As long as the wind direction does not change and no one is adding fuel to the flames, it will be fine.
Also, I’m not paddling, but I’ve been disgusted by an old pervert recently. He asks me to taste his art every day. I really want to punch him in the face! "
