Chapter 51: Rising to Prominence (8)
"Young Marshal, please rest assured, no matter what, in a month's time, Golden Harbor Bay will definitely be solid!" Feng Dazu said loudly, and several other captains echoed one after another. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this moment, Feng Dazu was slightly stunned and said, "Young Marshal, the Fucheng received an encrypted message from the Martian region, which only your permission can decode. ”
Le Chen smiled and pointed to the light screen in the conference room, "Take it." ”
"Then, let's avoid it!" Feng Dazu, Dr. Zheng, Boss Gao and others got up one after another.
Le Chen smiled: "Let's take a look, since it's not a secret from the Huo family, I estimate that it is the news of our occupation of Jingang Bay, and there will be an echo after reporting it to the Star Domain Governor's Mansion." ”
When Le Chen had just occupied Golden Harbor Bay more than two months ago, he reported the news to the Huo family, and the Huo family reacted extremely coldly at that time, naturally feeling that Le Chen's behavior was difficult to control, but according to the laws of the empire, they naturally had to report such matters.
Le Chen shook his hand, Feng Dazu and the others had no choice but to sit down, and a zigzag arc of light appeared on the light screen. It jumps up and down like sound waves, and this is because the image has not yet been decrypted.
Le Chen made a gesture, and soon, the image of Huo Heng appeared on the light screen, a kind little old man, he is the younger brother of the head of the Huo family, the president of the financial guild of the Mars Business Alliance, and a pivotal figure in the Huo family, after Le Chen entered the New Zealand airspace, Huo Heng also became the contact between the Huo family and Le Chen.
"Virtuous nephew, haha! Congratulations!" Huo Heng smiled all over his face, looking happy for Le Chen.
This is not the 2481 star field, and it is extremely far away from the headquarters of the Mars Alliance, so this news should have been sent a day or two ago.
"Virtuous nephew, the envoy of Lord Payne, the Governor of the Star Field, has arrived at the Mars Headquarters and brought a letter of appointment to you, your deeds, and the Governor has reported to the Privy Council and awarded you the rank of Third Class Major General. ”
When Huo Heng said this in the light screen, Feng Dazu and the others immediately gasped, and immediately, Boss Gao and West cheered and high-fived in celebration, and Feng Dazu and the others also began to applaud.
The ranks of the Imperial Guard, in addition to several hereditary generalissimos of large families, are the highest generals, generals, lieutenant generals and major generals, each rank is divided into three ranks, and each imperial general is a dominant figure in many galaxies, such as the number one person who commands the imperial border guards in the 2481 star field of this galaxy, he is a first-class lieutenant general, and in this star field, it is a powerful figure.
However, Le Chen's third-class Major General Yunlu belongs to the empire's attraction and commendation of local warlords, which is more similar to an honorary title, called "Major General Yunlu", "Honorary Lieutenant General" and so on, the value is greatly reduced, but the political treatment in the empire, in theory, is the same as that of generals of the same rank, in fact, it is naturally not the same.
However, this title of honor can only be obtained by local warlords who have made special contributions to the empire, and the empire's review is also extremely strict, and from a certain point of view, although it is different from the rank of nobility, which can be passed down and represents a political status protected by the empire, the rank and order are limited to oneself and are only a false name. But this kind of honorary military title may be more difficult to obtain than the title of nobility.
For example, the 2481 star field, tens of thousands of colonial planets, hundreds of millions of star systems, millions of mining stars, thousands of space cities, how vast the territory is, in this star field, there are still a lot of local warlords and small nobles in the world, but the honorary rank, counting Le Chen, I am afraid that one hand can count it.
The third-class major general is also the highest honorary rank that the governor of the star field can confer, after all, the empire is too big, and it is inevitable to grant the governors of each star field a certain amount of power to act cheaply, theoretically, the imperial privy council can revoke the mandate after the governor is awarded and reported to the imperial privy council, but in fact, this situation has never happened, and even the imperial privy council will not discuss it at all but directly archive it, because the empire has hundreds of hundreds of galaxies, that is, there are hundreds of thousands of star fields, and the matter of a small star field is insignificant in the upper echelons of the empire。
But for each small star field, the honorary rank is so rare, mainly because the local warlords are all interests first, concentrating on managing their own sphere of influence, if it weren't for the fight for territory, no one would fight with the rebels or other alien civilizations, especially in the 2481 star field, the last time a large-scale conflict broke out between the imperial warlords and the rebels, it was a hundred years ago.
And now that Le Chen's lone army has gone deeper, he has actually captured a prestigious spaceport in the depths of the rebel star field, and the news reached the ears of Governor Payne, naturally there was a little surprise, as for whether he had been planning the battle against the rebels for a long time when he reported to the Privy Council, it is unknown.
Conferring the Legion of Honor on Le Chen, Governor Payne naturally considered more, and it was not enough for outsiders.
But in any case, when this news fell into the ears of Feng Dazu and the others, how could they not be excited?
Their noise made Le Chen have to pause the light screen image, and when they settled down a little, then with a flick of his hand, on the light screen, the frozen Huo Heng's smiling face came alive again.
Feng Dazu and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Le Chen's indifferent expression, but the excitement in their hearts couldn't be suppressed, from now on, the young marshal is the justifiable young marshal, that is, in the Imperial Privy Council, that is also a major general with archives to check.
And from now on, Feng Dazu and the others feel that their brigadier general rank seems to be higher than before, after all, the captain of a heavy destroyer, generally speaking, the local warlord will proclaim himself the rank of brigadier general, but it is not recognized by the Imperial Ministry of Defense, the warlord is armed for self-defense, in the chip information, its latest identity characteristics about the military rank of brigadier general, colonel, lieutenant colonel, etc., there will be a star mark, although there is no official explanation for this star mark, but everyone knows its meaning.
"Virtuous nephew, you have to do a good job, below, it is Lord Murich, the messenger of Governor Payne, to preach for you!" Huo Heng smiled, but in his eyes, there was a faint abnormality, but he covered it up very well, but naturally he couldn't escape Le Chen's eyes.
Le Chen understands that although this so-called third-class major general Yunlu is actually in the chaotic land of this Xinjiang, it can be said that he is worthless, here, everything depends on strength to speak, but after all, his name has entered the ears of Governor Payne, even if he hears it, he is also a small lotus with sharp corners, with this false title, it is always a little different from before, for the Huo family, it may be a little inconvenient to control himself, after all, it is impossible to cross the river and demolish the bridge Now Xinnia will find an excuse to get rid of himself smoothly and legally, maybe, the real power of the Huo family in the past, there are not a few people who think like this。
Huo Heng's smiling image slowly dissipated, and in the light screen, a cloud of light and shadow changed from blurred to clear, this is a middle-aged official with a very solemn face, thinking about it, it is the envoy of the Governor, Mu Liqi. (To be continued.) )
