Chapter 198 Prejudice
Chapter 198: The Perspective
Who can spend money to work for others? Using the money from the empire to cultivate power is a privilege that only the upper nobles have. Chen Fang grew up in the powerful Chen family, so he is well aware of this. However, he is not rich and has no power yet. He can't find a place to accommodate the Red Devils. Then he thought of his father-in-law's Black Dragon Legion. Who knew that the Red Devil would not accept it and said angrily: "It's okay, like you, it's great to stay in Flemish as a pirate. The imperial capital is too dangerous and terrifying is not suitable for you."
The Red Devil could understand this kind of beauty, but he was unwilling to accept it. The Secretary of State's warning was still in his ears. This time, she must not follow the wrong person again.
If the team is pulled to the Black Dragon Legion, it will be controlled by Lu Beiyan. An army that does not belong to Lu Beiyan, isn’t it just a stepmother who stays under Lu Beiyan’s command? Even if it can still be cared for by Chen Fang, the relationship will be further apart. The Red Devils must be directly under Chen Fang’s command like Bruce.
People often say, why don’t you rob it? It can be seen that pirates are a very profitable industry, especially the Red Devil, who is entrenched in oil-rich Cadolan, who once monopolized transportation routes.
Just because of the income of the Red Devil as a pirate over the years, it would be no problem to squander several lifetimes with his subordinates. Moreover, this is an ancestral industry. The wealth plundered by more than ten generations is now in the name of the Red Devil. Of course, she doesn't have to worry about money. Like all the legendary ace pirates, the Red Devil also has a treasure, a treasure that is even more tempting than the legend, and the number is enough to make people crazy.
The ancestors kept the treasures to see the light of heaven again for Shatu. Now they are at the right time, why should they be stingy? How could the Red Devil discount the dream of more than a dozen generations of ancestors working hard for the sake of a few small money that they were not lacking? Unless she was determined to become an eternal sinner of the Shatu clan! Otherwise, the Red Devil could only appreciate this kindness. Besides, who knows whether this is a kindness? Maybe Chen Fang was worried about Shatu’s experience and took the opportunity to transfer her away. No matter what the situation was, it was not worth the Red Devil’s attempt.
From Chen Fang's troubles, the Red Demon heard very valuable information. It turned out that the famous Mr. Chen, the third son of Chen, did not have his own army. Otherwise, why should he be worried about the people who have placed her? Carefully tentatively: "The third son doesn't have to worry. The Shatu family can wait for more than ten generations. Don't care about waiting for more than ten or eight years. When you are in power, it is the time when the Shatu family really sees the light of day again. Why don't the third son form his own army?"
Chen Fang asked in confusion: "Build your own army?"
The Red Devil explained: "As far as I know, the laws of the Aoga Empire allow private guards to be formed."
Chen Fang was both angry and funny, and asked back, "Do you know why the Aojia Empire has such legal terms?"
The Red Devil shook his head.
Chen Fang laughed and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid. You are not stupid. Even if you haven't heard anyone say it, you can know that it is to deceive the suckers and help the empire raise the army. The so-called private guards have an obligation to go to wartime and do not occupy the financial budget in normal times. Why don't the empire do it? Why am I a sucker?"
The Red Devil couldn't help but chuckled. Who can't see such a simple truth? However, those who pay to recruit troops are suckers? No one who can afford this expense is stupid! Generally speaking, they are rich and unstable people, such as wealthy merchants and down-and-out nobles.
Although there is no explicit regulation, when this law is implemented, it is usually limited to colonial stars and a few second-tier administrative stars. If there is no real need, those who are willing to recruit large numbers of soldiers and recruit troops can usually find an official position in backward areas. The most attractive official position is the Governor of colonial stars.
The resources of colonial stars were plundered in a short time, and they were gone without any oil and water. In addition, political chaos and racial conflicts continued, which became a heart-wrenching problem for the empire. Of course, they did not want to garrison large numbers of troops, which increased the financial burden. They just wanted to throw them to those who were willing to take over, so they divided the planet into several equal parts and set up a governor's jurisdiction.
Oil and water cannot be squeezed out, and knowledgeable people will not let go of the leftovers that the nobles have eaten. As long as they are good at managing, their official positions can bring huge profits and can fully support their soldiers through business. What is even more tempting is that this is a shortcut for nouveau riche to join the aristocratic class. The governor himself has a low-level title, and with soldiers in his hands, he has the bargaining chips to win greater titles.
Of course, this meager interest is not enough to make the great nobles like the Chen family tempted. They were the first people to plunder resources. They always borrowed the power of the empire to make profits for themselves, only valued the huge profits and never took risks. Taking Chen Fang as an example, although it was not yet a weather, taking action against the dark group was all about the power of the Viper.
The Red Devil said without emotion: "The law is the law, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad. I ignore the motivation for the empire. I need it now, it is good, and you don't have to bother with the capital. Third young master, you may have the ability to call the imperial army, but the imperial army is not yours after all, and you may not get what you want every time. To achieve great things, your own strong team is indispensable."
Of course, you can see Marshal Lu’s coolness. However, there is no such cheap thing in the world? You can pick up an army without spending a penny? Or a super army. The Red Devil’s strength is not weak, and her troops are comparable to the most elite special forces in the empire.
After thinking about it, the motive of the Red Devil is questionable. Chen Fang said quietly: "You are a well-trained army, why bother to take the banner of the imperial private army? This banner only has obligations and no benefits."
The Red Devil said frankly: "There are two benefits to paying this money. First, my troops can see the light. Any army that is not recognized by the empire is essentially bandits. Even if you pay your funds, you will not get a training place. If you hide your head and tail, you may cause trouble in the future. Second, you can only recruit soldiers with a legitimate name with the banner of a private army. You also know that I have implemented the elite army strategy. The main reason is that in recent years, it is not a good thing to avoid encirclement and suppression. The large scale of the army is definitely not a good thing. No matter how elite troops are, the scale of the current one cannot help you. With the banner, it will be different. I can recruit soldiers legally."
Recruiting soldiers! Chen Fang was particularly keen on these two words. The scene where the Red Devil pulled him into the gang is still vivid in his mind. What is the purpose of a pirate gang recruiting so many talents? Now he wants to recruit soldiers blatantly and must not give this ambitious woman any chance.
"After having such a big circle, you can't even think about it if you want to recruit soldiers under my banner! What if you can't think about it one day and return to your old career? I will make a team of super pirates. I can't afford to take on this infamous reputation, so you can save it."
When the Red Devil was determined to rely on the Chen family, he vowed to swallow his anger at the boy she had been determined to take revenge before. Unfortunately, he was a proud person at heart. If Chen Fang doubted her ability, she could still prove herself with her strength. However, Chen Fang very much "recognized" her ability, and he never forgot about her experience as a pirate and was careful to be careful everywhere, which was really depressing.
After a while, the Red Devil tried hard to calm himself down and explained: "Three Young Master, I hope you can understand that the newly recruited soldiers, including my previous personnel, are all your forces, and I am also your subordinates. I decided to rely on you, so I put all the rise, decline, honor and disgrace of Shatu on you. This is a big bet for Shatu and me. Please do not question my loyalty and determination. The ancestors were born and died for the empire, but in the end they became wronged.
Bandits, this is not our fault. For two hundred years, the Shatu clan has never been willing to fall into depravity, and dare not expect the revelation of the injustice. He only hopes that the Shatu clan’s name will regain its light and continue to make efforts. After more than ten generations of efforts, he has got the opportunity today. Do you think I will lead the Shatu clan back to the past? If you question my ability, I am willing to prove to you that if you question my loyalty, I have two brothers, who are all happy to stay in the imperial capital as hostages."
As he said, the Red Devil lost his peace again.
Chen Fang shrugged indifferently: "Don't be excited, since you are full of confidence, just let it go. State in advance, I am poor, don't expect to get money from me."
The Red Devil said unyieldingly: "Since we talk about this, we might as well spread the word. We have misunderstandings in the past. However, I decided to rely on you and I will forget the unhappiness in the past. I hope you can also forget the past. Although Shatu has had a disgraceful history, our loyalty cannot be questioned. I heard that the former CIA Director is also your subordinate, and I dare not ask for the same treatment as him, but I think I can do more and better than him. By the way, will you question his loyalty?
Chen Fang stared at the Red Devil calmly and said nothing for a long time.
The Red Devil asked, "Why don't you speak? Shatu belongs to you. You should at least be honest with your subordinates."
Chen Fang nodded and said, "I have heard that subordinates should be absolutely loyal, and I have never heard of them. The superiors need to be honest with their subordinates. Since you mentioned Bruce, I will ask you, do you know why he is the former CIA director, not the current one?"
The Red Devil looked at each other stubbornly: "I hope to hear the details."
Chen Fang said coldly: "That's because I hope he is the former CIA director, so he voluntarily stepped down. Bruce never dared to question me like you, nor did he ask me for frankness. He knew very well what I was thinking and what he needed to do."
The Red Devil asked in confusion: "He voluntarily stepped down, why?"
Chen Fang said funny: "Why? Do I want you to do everything? Why do I need to tell you why? Now the position of the head of the Chen family is empty, and many descendants are eyeing him. Whoever is closest to this position will be the target of public criticism. Bruce's resignation can make others feel that I am far away from this position. As a subordinate, I will always consider the position of the superior first. I have won the position as the head of the family. Can the next CIA Director be someone else? If I fail, even if he doesn't voluntarily step down, how long can he stay in this position? But you can only hold the interests of the Shatu family in your heart, and do not consider my situation at all. Once I fail, the Shatu family will definitely repeat the same mistake, either become a pirate like your ancestors or be exterminated."
It is a bit exaggerated to say that the extermination of the clan is that Chen Bowei will never allow his children to kill each other, including destroying each other's forces. However, if Chen Fang has no chance of being the head of the family, his subordinates will naturally not be reused.
Before the Red Devil could speak, Chen Fang continued to add: "This is quality. Even if there is a vacant position, the superiors will select people with this quality from their subordinates to take charge, and then consider other abilities. In the imperial capital, you can't stand if you have the ability. You are still embarrassed to compare with Bruce, so be ashamed!"
The Red Devils argued: "What's so shameful about me? Bruce has been working for the Chen family for many years and naturally can see the situation clearly. I just came back from Flemish, and I don't know what's strange about the powerful relationship? Besides, you dare to say that your attitude towards me is not out of prejudice."
Chen Fang smiled indifferently, who said no? Bruce was a gift left to him by the Chen family. He could follow his ace subordinates who could follow him without any effort in training. There would be no such good things in the future. His subordinates could only train them themselves.
The Red Devil has great abilities, but unfortunately he is used to being a pirate. Now that he returns to the empire's power vortex, there will be a process of adaptation. Besides, Bruce is the director of the CIA and is at the core of power. Even if the Red Devil forms an army, he is still a general. He cannot expect her to have Bruce's wit and cunning.
Having said that, Shatu was also a gift from his grandfather, otherwise it would not have been possible to vote under his disciples with the ability of the Red Devil.
Cultivating wings is a compulsory course for those who are superiors. It is time to do it yourself. Please spend more time. Chen Jian comforted himself in his heart and looked at the Red Devil with a complicated expression.
"The recruitment of troops can be postponed." The Red Devil made up his mind in a blink of an eye.
"Didn't you say you can let go? You will change your mind after just a few words." Chen Fang asked dumbly.
