Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Chapter 286 Nanshan Army Rank Awarding Ceremony

Once your official military rank is promoted, it will be much easier to get promoted to a formal military rank.

For example, if one's official military rank reaches the general level but his formal military rank is still at the colonel level, he can be promoted every two years without having to abide by the three-year pause or the condition of making outstanding contributions.

For example, two people’s official military ranks are both majors, while one person’s official military rank is lieutenant general.

The one whose military rank is lieutenant general can be promoted to major general in eight years, while the other one can only be promoted to colonel at most, which is two ranks lower.

Of course, military ranks were only given to these people in the early stages of military construction.

Once the army is well-built, military positions are solidified, the promotion system is complete, and there are fewer vacant officer positions, military ranks will not be of much use.

At that time, the role of military rank will only apply to some officers who are promoted exceptionally, and most people will not be able to use it.

After all, without the continuous fission of the army from 100,000 to 200,000, 200,000 to 400,000, and 400,000 to 1 million, there would be a huge shortage of senior officers and the speed of officer promotion would not keep up.

When the size of the army is fixed, there are always limited positions at the top. If the people at the top don't move, how can the people below get promoted? There is no position for promotion at all.

On the other side, the Nanshan locust delegation conveyed the Nanshan government's intentions to Ito Mifumi.

"Baka." Ito Mifumi was so angry that he smashed a lot of porcelain.

Qingshui Qianyun just walked into the hall, preparing to report the situation in Qiyuan Province to Ito Mifumi.

Seeing Ito Mifumi's angry look, Qingshui Qianyun asked: "General, what happened to make you so angry?"

"Damn it." Seeing Qingshui Qianyun, Ito Mifumi took the opportunity to step forward and slapped him a few times.

Not only because he was unhappy with the idea he proposed, but also to warn him not to get carried away and to know the difference between respect and inferiority.

After being slapped, Qingshui Qianyun immediately stood at attention, gladly accepted it, and said, "Hi."

This is the case in the Little Locust Country. It is common for superiors to slap their subordinates. And when being slapped, it is ok to humbly admit your mistakes, but if you refuse to accept it, you will be in trouble.

After the slap, Ito Mifumi asked, "Shimizu-kun, how is the matter in Heyuan Province going?"

"General, Heyuan Provincial Chairman Kang Shengyan is ready to change the flag." Qingshui Qianyun immediately smiled.

"At the same time, Governor Kang also mobilized the militia in Heyuan to form an army of 3,000 people to protect the safety of Heyuan."

Ito Mifumi smiled and said, "Qingshui-kun has made an indelible contribution to this matter. By the way, Qingshui-kun should have known Governor Kang for a long time."

"Yes, this Kang Shengyan studied in the Small Locust Country and likes our country's culture very much. We already knew each other when he was in the Small Locust Country." Qingshui Qianyun admitted.

Ito Mifumi's face was gloomy and he really wanted to teach Shimizu Asakumo a lesson, but he held back.

It seems that Qingshui Qianyun has been in contact with Kang Shengyan for quite some time, but he has never reported himself to him, which shows that he totally ignores himself.

Of course, he couldn't use this incident to attack the other party, as that would make him seem jealous.

Ito Mifumi pretended to be hesitant and very embarrassed.

Qing Shui Qian Yun was very confused, not knowing what was going on, so he bravely asked, "General, what happened?"

"Alas, the Nanshan government threatened me with Shuichi's life, saying that if we dared to take any action, they would kill Shuichi the first time." Ito Mifumi said.

"What? How did Master Xiuyi's identity get exposed?"

Qingshui Qianyun was surprised, and then he thought that the new people should not have the courage to kill Ito Shuichi.

So Qingshui Qianyun said indifferently: "General, the people of Xin country have always been weak and can be bullied. They have no blood. Even if they knew the identity of the young master, they would definitely not dare to do anything else."

When Ito Mifumi heard Shimizu Asako call Ito Shuichi "Young Master", he became even more displeased.

Ito Hideichi holds a military position, but the other party calls him "Young Master". What does this mean? It means that they do not recognize Ito Hideichi's identity as a soldier and regard him as a second-generation rich man who relies on connections.

"Don't dare? How many imperial warriors were wiped out by the Nanshan Army, what are they afraid of?" Then Ito Mifumi said angrily.

Qingshui Qianyun was embarrassed. He still believed that the Nanshan government would not dare to do so. But think about it, they had already wiped out tens of thousands of warriors from the Dwarf Locust Country on the battlefield.

There is nothing they dare not do if they kill one more general's son.

After figuring out this point, Qing Shui Qian Yun immediately lowered his head and asked, "General, how should we deal with this matter?"

After all, he is Ito Mifumi's son, and he dare not make decisions for him.

"Let Heyuan continue to change the flag." Ito Mifumi said after thinking for a moment.

Qingshui Qianyun whispered, "What about the young master?"

At this time, Qingshui Qianyun wanted to pass the blame. If Ito Shuichi was really killed because of Heyuan's change of flag, he would not take the blame. After all, it was Ito Mifumi who made the decision.

"The new people changed their flag themselves. What does it have to do with us?" Ito Mifumi said coldly.

"If the Nanshan government kills Xiuyi because of this, it can only mean that Xiuyi has a bad fate. At the same time, I will report it to the country and request a battle with them."

"Hi Yi." Qingshui Qianyun immediately went down to make contact.

Changing the flag is not an easy matter. It requires the consent of all parties. After all, it is not a seizure by force. There are still other officials and other forces in the local area.

It doesn't mean that no matter what a governor says, the people below will support it. There will definitely be opposition.

After the change of flag was confirmed, the next thing to do was to win over these forces and join the Dwarf Locust Kingdom.

Now that the Northern Army has just been defeated and its elite troops have been lost, any discerning person can see that the Northern government has no future. If there are new opportunities, there will naturally be no shortage of people who will seize them.

Nanling City, Nanshan Province.

Over the past two days, heads of various departments have arrived one after another.

At this time, we are in the Nanshan Great Hall, which was built two years ago and is the place for government meetings or major military events.

Early this morning, the Intelligence Department and the Security Command took over the defense of the area, and numerous soldiers were stationed here to guard various parts of the hall.

The Security Command was upgraded from the Security Division. Similarly, Jiang Xuanqi's military rank was also upgraded to Lieutenant General.

At eight o'clock in the morning, officers began to enter the venue one after another. A rank-awarding ceremony would be held today, and the ceremony would officially begin at nine o'clock.

"Old Li, that's great, you are also a teacher."

"No, no, Lao Liu, you are also a commander."

The officers who entered the meeting place started chatting in twos and threes.

Today, there are more than 40 division commanders in the Nanshan and Nanchuan armies, most of whom were promoted from the local area. Many of them were probably farmers three or four years ago.

In just three or four years, earth-shaking changes have taken place. How can they not be excited and moved?

Senior military officers will arrive later.

Fang Guoxuan, Zhang Wei, Li Zhongwu, Cai Tingwu, Zhao Linyu, Wang Zhixian, Li Weiling, Jiang Xuanqi, Liu Maohang, and Xu Tingen, these lieutenant generals, came almost together.
