Hidden Yao Era

However, Casto was not on the list for this award.

At the end of the meeting, Deputy Speaker Lehman, who was attending the meeting, found General Li Qiaowu and said to him: "There is something wrong with the list of honors this time. "

Li Miaowu was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"There are too many people from Mars who have been promoted to generals this time, which is unbalanced. "

"This award is actually a recognition of the outstanding performance of officers since the Battle of Mars after the Battle of Mars. In the Battle of Mars, there were a lot of losses among Martian-born officers, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the list. "

"There are too few officers from Mercury and Venus in our army now, and there are too many people from civilian origin that you have selected this time, which is not conducive to the unity of the army. "

Hearing this, Admiral Li Miaowu's face became a little ugly, and he retorted: "There is no difference between commoners and nobles in the army, and your words themselves are creating divisions. "

"Heh, I'm not giving my opinion in a public speech, I'm talking to you realistically. What's more, don't you really think that the imbalance of power between the nobility and the commoners will cause problems?".

Li Miaowu replied: "What's the problem? All the officers who have been awarded this medal are capable of fighting, and they are much better than those embroidered pillows. "

"Then why hasn't Brigadier General Castor Cavendish been promoted for so long?, he has the highest number of destroys in the Martian campaign, and he is also an embroidered pillow for many miracles in the subsequent battles?" asked Lehman.

Of course he wasn't, but he himself declined the award. He believes that opportunities should be reserved for more talented officers. "

"What?".

"Well, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity for promotion. And he was born on Mars, didn't you just say that there are too many officers from Mars this time?".

Deputy Speaker Lehman added: "You must know that politics is not only a superficial system, but also a hidden exchange of interests. The Arbitration Committee is not only responsible for the military, but also for coordinating the relationship between the forces of the planets. As a senior executive, it is necessary for you to assist us. "

"I'll only look at things from a military point of view, Deputy Speaker Lehman. In my eyes, with the exception of the reformed officers, most of the officers from the nobility of Venus and Mercury have no fighting spirit, are lazy, and have a low level of combat. This has been proven in decades of war. Why do we have to stuff them into our troops again?".

Lehman shook his head and said, "Of course I know what you mean, but we have special needs right now, and we need to appease the nobles before we can move forward with our plans." "

"Civilian officers have been suppressed for a long time, and they desperately need to export. Moreover, we need to give the officers of the Pluto Revival Army a hint that they can feel the possibility of their advancement in the firefighters. "

"Hehehe, Admiral Li, you really think a lot. But you may still be underestimating the complexity of the situation. I have a list here, a list of Mercury and Venus nobles who need special promotion this time. Oh, and there's an extra roster in a moment, and that's a group of Martian officers who need to be assigned to some important positions. "

"Extra roster, didn't you just say that there are too many people from Mars?" General Lee scoffed.

"Well, do you understand what you mean to highlight the preferential treatment given to these Martian nobles?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand at all. General Lee replied.

"You're pretending to be confused, hahahahahaha. Lehman laughed.

"I don't understand why you're laughing, but I'll carry it out. Li took Lehman's roster and left.

In the afternoon, Li Miaowu met with Cuthbert and Casto's uncle and nephew in the office. Li asked Castor, "What did Wendini say to you?"

Castor replied, "She told me that she wanted me to arrange for a few Martian nobles to enter the Martian Fleet General Staff. "

Li Miaowu asked, "Which ones?" Casto handed the list to Li Miaowu. Cuthbert also came over, and as soon as he glanced twice, he scolded, "Tomman, Pinker, Rivers?

"It's really not suitable, but just now, Vice Chairman Lehman also arranged for me a few officers of the Martian nobles and asked me to promote them. Look at it. After saying that, Li took the list to Casto and Cuthbert.

"These people don't have much actual combat experience. After Castor finished speaking, Cuthbert said impatiently: "Five years ago, the high-level meeting of the army deliberately emphasized that the main reference should be actual combat rather than qualifications and origins. How can this waste be in the position of the Mars Defense Fleet? If something happens, will they be able to withstand it?".

Li Miaowu shook his head and said: "Judging from the resumes of these people, don't say that something really happened, just the daily military affairs in ordinary times can turn them around." The military school grades of these people are all crane tails, and when they are in the army, the annual performance appraisal level is not very good. The previous work was also mixed and waiting for death. "

"But there are quite a lot of such people in the army, as long as there are capable people in the main force to support them. Cuthbert said.

Hearing Cuthbert's words, Admiral Li Miaowu's expression became serious, and he said in a tone that was almost reprimanding: "Lieutenant General Cavendish, how have we turned the tide of the war in the past few years? Isn't it only by promoting a large number of civilian officers that the combat effectiveness of the army has been restored? Let the commoners bribe the nobles, so that the nobles can stay in a safe but well-paid idle position, this stable situation cannot be destroyed. Otherwise, once this group of noble wastes occupies an important position, they will ruin the situation that we have changed so hard in battle!"

"I think Borodin and Lehman are still measured, and I don't think these arrangements are simple. By the way, Casto, why did Wendini ask you to do this, with her rank, she should be able to find a higher-ranking acquaintance, right?" asked Cuthbert, puzzled.

At this time, Li Miaowu suddenly slammed his fist on the table: "She is looking for a higher-level person, she has found me!
