Counterfeit Hero

The change review ended without any controversy, and the Paladin Company became the biggest winner, especially Christina. Not only did she receive Reinhard's approval, she even had the opportunity to directly join the Mythical Legion.

Although he is only a civilian researcher, it is enough! Reinhardt's respect and care for scientific and technological talents is well known, let alone the scientific and technological talents who directly belong to the Mythical Legion. Moreover, it is easy for Reinhardt to protect a general who has resigned and spends all day reading and reading newspapers in his study. He has a transcendent status. Although he and Gordon are not friends, they are definitely not political enemies!

The purges initiated were not driven by James' bloodlust; it was the best way to keep the military pure. Russell had run the military for too long, and a purge was necessary to eliminate his influence. Of course, James would never give the order personally. As long as he gave a hint, many people would naturally rush to do this bloody work.

Gordon is not Russell's person, and James knows this very well. If he personally performs the purge, Gordon will definitely not be included in the purge. However, this matter can only be left to others. This person will usually be the successor of the military department. If the successor wants to control the military department, of course it will inevitably lead to a bit of bloodshed. Including your ex, it is best to get rid of everything you can. This is the easiest way.

Moreover, Gordon lost the Newton Galaxy after all. James may not agree with his elimination, but this does not mean that James will stop it. After all, in war, a military department only needs one voice.

The current situation is very delicate. There is already a deep gap between the military and the royal family. Russell defected, Gordon was dismissed, Heilig was sidelined, and the military almost lost its soul overnight. However, the new leader Stephen did not fully control the military department because he had not yet produced a record that was enough to convince the public. No matter what Stephen's record is, whether James hands over the military department to him or simply takes charge of it himself, the work of cleaning will not be undertaken by these two royal members.

Therefore, the only one who is most likely to be ordered to carry out the purge is Reinhardt. Because he has the highest status and is the most able to convince the public, and he also has the most trust from the royal family. He will make the military headquarters completely spotless according to the royal family's requirements. Clear the way for Stephen to take over the military headquarters or for James to lead the expedition in person.

Even if Stephen takes charge of the military and even carries out the purge himself regardless of the future impact, Reinhardt will still be able to convince James to keep Gordon, and Stephen will inevitably consider the emotions of Reinhardt, who is short-lived in Nago. After Russell's defection, Reinhardt became the number one person in the Gacharin Empire's military. No one could compare with him, not even Stephen, who took over the military department.

Christina got the best result she had imagined, and the ordinary mechanics in the Paladin Company's technical department finally understood that this elegant and fairy-like receptionist who had been talked to by countless new and old employees had The beauty is not just a simple person. She is a talented student at Tanweer Military University, and even a nobleman whom Reinhard is familiar with. Some mechanics who once boasted about how proud they were in the company and how skilled they were were looking for cracks in the world to get into.

Only the fat man sneered in his heart. On the surface, this woman looked mature and intellectual, calm and gentle, but in fact, she was worse than some adolescent girls in her prime. She was as stupid as she could be.

"As long as I fly over with a glance, the guardian will immediately be under my work pants." The fat man thought shamelessly.

*************************

Stephen left the meeting room. Although he had restrained himself strongly, his anger was still getting stronger and stronger! He and Liebgot waited for a full hour before being notified by the Myth Legion that Reinhardt was not coming. He was testing a modified mecha.

"Ridiculous!" Stephen returned to his office and finally broke out, furious, "A prince and a general waited for him for a whole hour and stopped coming if he couldn't tell. Reinhardt, who does he think he is? ?This George’s lackey!”

Rhett stood aside quietly without any expression. No one knows better than Rhett what kind of temper this calm and gentle cousin actually has. He never adds fuel to the fire when Stephen is angry. Only after letting him vent can he truly calm down. .

Stephen was a little angry. In fact, he knew very well that Reinhardt was only loyal to King James of Canada. He did not take a fancy to himself or George. Under this very delicate situation, Reinhardt obviously had no hope that Stephen would be able to gain entry into the military. Stephen was young and energetic, so he couldn't swallow this breath.

After venting, he sat slumped on the sofa. Now, the initiative was not in his own hands. The situation in Galileo is getting more and more serious, but Liebgot still advocates retreat, retreat. Although he knew that such a retreat was a requirement of the overall strategy, James' inquiry had already put too much pressure on Stephen. Liebgott's layout had a fatal flaw for himself, and that was that it took too long.

The royal family's doubts about Liebgot have already begun to bud. If they continue to retreat like this, Stephen doesn't know if James will give him and Liebgot a chance to complete their strategic layout. Moreover, such a strategic layout is based on the loss of a large amount of control area and expendable tug-of-war. Perhaps, when the strategic deployment is completed, there will be nothing to worry about. But now Stephen can only bite the bullet and carry on as planned. He and Liebgot are tied together, and this boat can no longer be disembarked.

After pondering, Stephen decided to go to Liebgot. He wanted to discuss with his mentor. Maybe gaining a partial victory would be helpful to him. If you want to die of thirst, you have to drink even a glass of dirty water. At least, you have to have this glass of water within reach. He got up and walked to Liebgot's office, but he didn't know that there was a saying in ancient China, which was called drinking doves to quench thirst.

Dove is not dirty water, but poison.

*********************

In the technical department of Paladin Company, everyone stared dumbly at a fat man who was white and fat and shook his head desperately.

The fat man said resolutely: "I won't go, even if you kill me, you won't have freedom. If you join the Mythical Legion, you will be restricted in everything you do! I won't do it. I am an eagle from the Tianshan Mountains. I am destined to soar in the blue sky. Freedom is my life!"

Christina wanted to fly up and kick this fat eagle to death. I don't know if this guy is stupid or too shameless. The effect of saying such words from his mouth is to make people hate him. .

She said with both laughter and laughter: "The Mythical Legion is the best army in the empire. Every soldier is one of a thousand. Only those who have passed various assessments and reviews can be admitted to the Mythical Legion..."

The fat man said blankly: "What do you think this has to do with me? Those guys in the prison have not only passed the various reviews, they have even passed the various trials. They all have good skills in murder and arson. They are all chosen one out of ten thousand. Character, do you want to go there too?”

The fat man was so messy that Christina was speechless. I was secretly anxious, but I didn’t expect that this fool would dismiss this opportunity that ordinary people yearned for so much. He shouted that he was an eagle in the sky, and he looked like he was about to fly freely, but he was exactly like this. The most important one on the team.

After all, the Paladin Company is a private enterprise. If it wants to stand firm and gain respect in the Mecha Research Laboratory of the Mythical Legion, it must show technical performance, and this guy with outstanding technology and rich experience is definitely the team's anchor. In those military mechanical technologies In front of professionals, Christina herself felt a little frightened. The only one who can shock these people is Zhang Yuan who proposed the [King Kong] modification plan.

Seeing the fat man raising his face as if he was not going, Christina couldn't laugh or cry. Suddenly, an idea came to her, and she said seductively: "If you really don't go, Bonnie's suitor will be happy. One of the toughest competitors.”

"Bonnie? Who is Bonnie?" The fat man looked confused. Christina made a curved line and said, "The one with the red hair."

The fat man suddenly understood, hesitated painfully for a long time, and finally said: "A lonely soaring eagle... Damn it, I'd better go!"

Christina walked out of the technical department with a blushing face. She felt deeply ashamed that she had used other people to seduce the fat man. If she didn't leave, she was afraid that she would chop this sanctimonious lecher to death with a knife. disciples.

The fat man made a full gesture and thought innocently: "Myth Legion, you can investigate. I didn't come in intentionally. It was really someone who forced me and tempted me. I just have a weak will. Fat people have this problem."

*********************

Reinhardt looked at Zhang Yuan's information carefully. This information was not like a detailed investigation by the Imperial Intelligence Department, but more like a form that a company needs to fill out when recruiting cleaners.

In the photo in the profile, the fat man had a silly smile on his face, looking half-silly and half-dumb, but also a bit indescribably honest. There are only a few sentences describing him in the document, and the rest are the words "confirmed" and the signature of the intelligence department investigator. For an orphan who has been living on the streets since he was ten years old and who has studied abroad, this information is too simple, so simple that it feels a little unusual.

Reinhardt smiled slightly. This information has been reviewed at all levels. Everything that needs to be investigated has been investigated. There should be no problems.

Although Zhang Yuan has been wandering the streets since he was ten years old, this guy has never been in contact with others and only knows how to beg. His biggest hobby is collecting mechanical and electronic parts in garbage dumps. When he was twenty years old, he smuggled to Tatania and used I used the money I saved for tuition and learned systematic mechanical maintenance. The Intelligence Department investigated him very carefully, and even retrieved photos of him when he was a child. Although he was very thin, he could vaguely see what he looked like now.

Reinhard chose to believe in this mechanical genius. This man's character destined his experience to be so simple. Looking at Fatty's information and thinking of his appearance in the testing ground, Reinhardt smiled and shook his head. There was really nothing to doubt about such a slow, timid and fearful guy who was crazy about machinery. Moreover, Reinhardt is confident that no one in the Mythical Legion can hide their identity under his nose.

Reinhardt raised his head, looked at Bonnie who was sitting on the sofa opposite the desk and was flipping through a magazine, and said seriously: "Bonnie, I heard a very interesting thing."

"Oh?" Bonnie didn't take her eyes away from the magazine.

"You have another fanatical suitor." A mischievous smile appeared on Reinhard's lips: "A very good man, perhaps the best of the same type of people I have ever seen. "

"Who?" Bonnie raised her head at the right time. When the two of them were alone together, Bonnie always made Reinhardt feel relaxed. She knew when Reinhardt was a close friend and when he was a close friend. General of the Empire.

Reinhardt looked at Bonnie with admiration without saying a word. This woman had wisdom that could astonish him. Her temperament and beauty were impeccable. The only flaw was that she was a little stronger.

Seeing Reinhardt not speaking for a long time, Bonnie raised her eyebrows and made a threatening expression. She was curious about who this person could be praised by Reinhardt.

Reinhardt laughed out loud when he saw Bonnie's cute expression: "He is a new researcher recruited by the legion. His name is Zhang Yuan. You have met him."

"Zhang Yuan? Have I seen it?" Bonnie's puzzled expression made Reinhardt even happier. Only when communicating with this woman who has grown up together can it be so easy. Both of them know what each other likes, what their hobbies are, how to make each other happy, how to tease each other, and how to work together seamlessly.

"Yes! You have seen it." Reinhardt continued, "That machinist from Paladin Company."

Bonnie's expression became a little strange. She squinted at Reinhardt with distrust: "You mean that..."

"Hahahaha, that's the white and fat guy!" As Reinhardt laughed loudly, a magazine flew over unceremoniously. He hurriedly lowered his head and hid, and said with a smile to the angry Bonnie, "What are you doing? You have to admit, that guy is indeed a genius, and he is definitely the best fat man I have ever seen." He shrugged hatefully. Shrugging, "Look, I was right."

Bonnie bit her lip and turned away from him, looking very angry. Reinhardt said leisurely: "As far as I know, he doesn't want to join the Mecha Research Laboratory of the Mythical Legion at all." He clicked his tongue twice and continued, "If it weren't for your charm that is so irresistible, this folk genius The mechanic will probably miss us from now on, our Bonnie is so beautiful..."

Reinhardt secretly looked at Bonnie who couldn't help but laugh, and said seriously: "So, I must give you a credit and tell you what reward you need."

Bonnie tried hard to bite her lip, but she couldn't keep her face straight anymore and burst into laughter. He gave Reinhard a stern look, spread his palms and said, "Then... General, please personally deliver that magazine and put it in my hand. Also, warn that fat man for me, if he makes me unhappy. , be careful I beat him into a fatter than he is now.".

Reinhardt smiled and picked up the magazine and walked over, shaking his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, Bonnie, I will not say such things to him, my fair lady, a gentleman is so jealous. I can't say such disgraceful words. Maybe. , you will slowly discover his advantages.”

Bonnie grabbed the magazine, flipped through it, and said without raising her head: "I hate fat people."

*********************

The palace in Gacharin was bright and bright, but in Emperor James's study, only one antique wall lamp was turned on, making the whole room look very dim. James sat on a heavy ebony royal chair, leaning against Tristrada's velvet cushions. He is of medium height and has a thin build. His face is as strong as a chiseled axe. Under his thick black eyebrows, he has a pair of sharp and focused eyes. Having been in power for nearly thirty years, James has developed an aura of arrogance and arrogance. Everyone who sees him will involuntarily feel awe. This kind of awe is not only for his identity, but more for him as a person.

Everyone who has met James will have a feeling that the man in front of him, even if he is not the emperor of the empire, will always be high and overlooking all living beings. There's no reason, that's just who he is.

Now, the imperial emperor was looking attentively at the schematic diagram of the Galileo battle displayed on the virtual screen. After a long time, he finally sighed softly and asked an old man who looked like a scholar standing next to him: "Mr. Philip ,I would like to hear your views."

Philip bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, I don't understand this game of chess."

James raised his thick eyebrows, turned his head and asked curiously: "Oh?" After a moment of silence, he stood up and took a few steps with his hands behind his back, and sighed, "Even you can't understand, Russell, what does this bastard want to do? ?”

Philip said deeply: "Russell is good at using surprise troops and has various attack methods. This time, he has always fought steadily on the ground battlefield in Lucerne. The external oppression of the Western Hemisphere and the internal expansion of Xiangshan have been combined. The continuous succession of troops and equipment, in the powerful transportation With the support of all the forces, he will forcefully compress the area controlled by our army step by step, which is very different from his strategic thinking. I doubt that he will have a killer."

James nodded and said: "This is what I am most worried about. Russell will never be that simple. He has too much combat experience and also knows the Gacharin Empire too well." He turned his head and stared at Philip He said, "This person is the one who makes me sleepy and sleepless the most."

Philip was one of the few people in the entire empire who could remain calm under James's powerful eyes. He was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty. From a strategic and tactical point of view, it is better to find someone in the Gacharin Empire." There are no opponents for him, including everyone in the military, me, and Reinhardt." He paused and continued, "Perhaps Liebgott is not his opponent either."

"Oh?" James' eyes sparkled: "Do you think so?"

Philip lowered his hands and nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

James said coldly: "Tell me your reasons."

Philip looked up and stared into James' eyes: "Liebgot is definitely a great military strategist, and at the same time, he is also a superb chess player. If he is commanding the Naga Federation army in this war, Russell will not It will take advantage, but now..."

James waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say it, I'll say it for you!" He walked to the map of the Gacharin Empire star field on the wall and said coldly: "Liebgot is a good coach. However, he was in charge of a team that he was not familiar with. He was unable to know himself and the enemy, and was at a disadvantage from the beginning. If Russell did not make mistakes, with Gacharin's current military strength, even the famous general Liebgot would not be able to defeat him. It is also very difficult to win this war. In this game, what he needs is an assistant who can fully control the team, which is obviously not what Stephen can do!"

James turned his head and stared at the silent Philip, and said coldly: "Your analysis makes sense, but do you think it will be enough to push George into the military department?" Seeing that Philip did not speak, he He snorted coldly and continued, "You are George's mentor, so how can Liebgot not be Stephen's teacher? If it were Stephen who cooperated with you and asked you to make his wedding dress, would you be happy?"

Phillip lowered his head in fear. From the first moment he spoke, he knew that his thoughts could not be hidden from James, and he himself had never thought of hiding it. It is a very safe approach to let the emperor know everything about him. From time to time, making small calculations in front of James, making the emperor a little angry or smiling, is the only way to finally stand in this study. If one day James finds that he can no longer see through him, then his life will come to an end. This tiger-like emperor would never allow a second Russell to appear before his eyes.

James looked at the flustered Phillip and smiled slightly: "I don't mean to blame you. After all, you are doing it for George's good, and your analysis is also very reasonable." He walked around to the desk and sat down, tapping with his finger. The desktop said slowly, "Perhaps, give them a little more time. Liebgot is not someone who will be easily suppressed by Russell. All he needs is time."

Philip stood with his hands down and thought to himself: "Time? With a character like yours, after watching that videotape, how much time will you give Liebgot in such a situation?"

Thinking of the videotape that didn't mention Liebgot at all, and thinking of Russell's calm face, Philip shuddered.

"Russell, when did you learn to use such insidious tricks?".
