Chapter 273: end of astral calendar
The Imperial Eighth Army became hot.
This group army, which consists of 70% of the population is young soldiers, 10% is robots, and the remaining 20% is the reserve personnel of other army groups, was originally the weakest of the eight army groups. On the one hand, it is reflected in their overall strength - the soldiers are too young, and the leader is also too young. On the other hand, it is reflected in their relationship in the army. Since it is a temporary group army, their relationship with other army groups... Basically Could not create relation orz on .
Their outstanding performance in the war surprised people. However, just when people thought that "these young people are not bad", when the sphere of influence was re-divided after the war, their leader resolutely gave up the turf the best chance, but ran after the enemy everywhere. It is undeniable that this is indeed a splendid feat, but it is of no use. A stable force is always based on stable development. Compared with an army with a rich territory and an army with no military achievements but no strong rear, it is very obvious which one has a better future.
"Sure enough, still too young." - almost everyone thought so, but -
God knows that the young leader of this young army actually met a friendly visitor from an external higher civilization in that star field at that time!
Notice! Be a friendly visitor!
Since the successful establishment of a relationship with that civilization, the Eighth Army, the smallest army stationed in it, has actually become the most prosperous army stationed there. Seizing this opportunity, they even became the army most closely connected with the advanced civilization!
The Eighth Army was completely turned over.
But the army was still too young, and people still had reservations about the future of the army. No matter how fertile the land is and how fast it grows, if it cannot be preserved in the end, then the rapid growth today is nothing but fat in the eyes of others.
Until Olivia Augustus, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, had the identity of the King of Cantas exposed, in the public opinion polls, more than 60% of the people supported the blond lieutenant general's ascension to the throne!
That's a very, very scary approval rating.
All kinds of news from the people may still be chasing the wind, but there is actually a tacit understanding between the two high-level military officials:
The identity of this young Kantas has been proven correct, and only in this case would the highest levels of the Imperial Military and Political Department acquiesce to some kind of news spreading among the people.
This may be to build momentum for the next steps.
If the guess is true, then the Eighth Army at this time will be transformed into a reserve for the Crown Prince's private army.
The emperors of all dynasties had a private army. This army that grew up with the emperor was only loyal to the emperor and the empire. As long as they did not make mistakes, almost everyone would have a bright future just around the corner!
Under normal circumstances, the commanders of the first army to the seventh army of the future empire will all come from this private army.
No one dared to harass Lieutenant General Olivia, the central figure of the topic, and the remaining sergeants of the Eighth Army became hot in an instant: 70% of the young soldiers received various communications from relatives and friends, 100% Twenty other groups of armies picked the remaining crane tails and began to be contacted by their former colleagues. The 10% robots that were collected to fill the shortage of human soldiers have also become the focus of ordinary soldiers in the army. I wish they could retire immediately. So that you can make up for it!
This army, which is currently at the cusp of the storm, stayed in the port silently, staying quietly in the original warship. It seemed that they did not intend to stay here any longer. Only Olivia took a few subordinates to disembark and landed in the port.
He came to the dark red conference room before, several subordinates including Jopson were stopped at the gate, and Olivia was the only person who finally entered the conference room through the dark red corridor .
After staying inside for about two hours, Olivia left the conference room, but this time he did not leave alone, and Marshal Rothsay almost went out with him.
The footsteps paused for a while, and then slowed down so that Marshal Rothsay walked to a position almost parallel to and slightly ahead of him, Olivia turned her head slightly:
"Your Excellency Marshal, I would like to ask you for a leave of absence. I hope I can go home and have a look in the next time."
It was a reasonable request, he hadn't been home for almost two years, and he hadn't seen the rest of the family for two years, except for three times with Mugan on several missions.
"Oh of course." Smiling at the tall and straight young man beside him, Marshal Rothsay said, "Next time, you don't need to ask me for leave."
Olivia just smiled politely and turned her head away.
From this point of view, it is not difficult for Marshal Rothsay to find that the shoulders of the young man beside him are a little higher than him. Noticing this, his beard is upturned: "Yo! Lieutenant General Augustus is already taller than me. !"
In Cantas, Marshal Rothsay is tall, and he still remembers Olivia's slender and short appearance when he was a teenager. His expression is a bit incredible: "Your food is good!"
Olivia smiled again, but he didn't speak.
"Well, the food at Lieutenant General Augustus's house is really good. I ate pancakes made of fresh walnuts at his house yesterday morning. The taste is really sweet." Mr. Cisse's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
Olivia's expression didn't change, but she couldn't help thinking of Bai Luxing's backyard.
It's walnut season again...
In February 417 of the Starlight Calendar, in a season when walnuts were ripe, with the strong support of the people, with the approval of the House of Elders, and on the basis of the unanimous consent of both the military and government, the young Olivia Augustus He will officially become the Crown Prince of the Empire. He has been arranged with a series of study plans. In the next six months, he will carry out a series of intensive studies to learn all the necessary skills of a Majesty.
The enthronement ceremony was scheduled to take place on the 12th six months later, a day specially chosen by Olivia.
The weather was very bad that day.
It has been stormy and rainy these days, and all the previous arrangements have been made in vain. What is even more tragic is that the leaves of the street trees by the roadside have fallen off. It doesn't look like a good omen. Just when the Bureau of Meteorology decided to manually intervene in the weather, the rain suddenly stopped. The black clouds suddenly embedded in the golden edge, the sun star slowly emerged from behind, and the sky became clear.
The practice of the enthronement ceremony was held on the post-war rebuilt imperial capital Ifadia. Due to the heavy damage and the fact that all the dust in the universe has not been dispersed, the sky of this planet has been a little hazy recently. After days of heavy storms and rain, the pollutants that could not be cleaned up with high technology are gone. The sky is like a wash, and the water is a new blue.
An incredible scene suddenly happened: after the leaves fell off, the bare street tree in front of the palace suddenly bloomed!
It was a very beautiful blue flower, large and gorgeous, with a strong and distant fragrance.
After the leaves fell off, countless blue flowers bloomed quietly, and the blue drooping covered the branches of the two rows of street trees near the red carpet!
When they discovered this scene, the venue layout staff, who were still worried about how to remedy it, were stunned!
"It's a phoenix lotus! It's blue!" Someone called out the flower's name in surprise.
The phoenix lotus tree, the name of the road tree on both sides of the palace's main hall, this kind of flower is called the flower of the empire. Because of its preciousness and rarity, it has always been only planted in the palaces of the past dynasties. This tree has leaves all year round, but it is extremely difficult to bloom. When several emperors succeeded to the throne, the tree blossomed, so it was regarded as a symbol of good luck.
If the previous dark clouds, strong winds and heavy rain still made people a little worried, then these beautiful blue flowers have made people's uneasy hearts instantly settle down.
Almost everyone who was fortunate enough to watch the enthronement ceremony was attracted by the blue phoenix lotus.
When the hour hand reached 12 o'clock, Olivia stepped on the scarlet carpet on time.
Surrounded by heavily guarded guards and the bustling people behind, many people came to watch the ceremony, but due to proper control, the surroundings were quiet, and people could even hear the young man who was about to become the emperor in the center of the red carpet rubbing his military boots on the carpet. the sound of.
Yes, this young man who was a lieutenant general in the army came in a military uniform. All the medals he had won in his previous military career covered his chest, and the stars on his shoulders shone in the sunlight. Young people who were born in orphanages and raised by civilian families are simply representatives of inspirational life!
However, gold always shines, and his name will eventually become the treasure of this country, shining in all parts of this star field from now on.
Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the blond lieutenant general stepped up the stairs and finally reached the end of the red carpet, in front of the golden throne representing the highest power of the empire.
The emperor's uniform composed of two colors of platinum lay quietly on the throne, and on both sides of the uniform, a crown and a scepter were placed side by side.
The uniform is brand new, while the yellow light and the scepter are full of traces of history, and there is a new line of nicks on the scepter, which Olivia recognizes as her name.
"Please." Mr. Cisse rarely wore formal clothes today, and stood up from the side. He and another person held up the dress on the throne, and the other two were in charge of the crown and scepter.
A total of eleven people served Olivia dressing at the same time.
These were all people who had appeared in that dark red conference room.
The ceremony went on silently and solemnly.
Since there is no transfer of the throne, the final crown is worn by Olivia herself. After he put on the crown, held the scepter, and officially sat on the throne, he heard a "licheng".
Then came the deafening sound of gun salutes.
Even louder than the gun salute was the cheers of the people—
For a moment, Olivia's mind went blank.
Until he saw Mugan.
His jet-black hair stood out among the different colors of hair, and Olivia saw him at a glance.
Then he saw Alpha and other robots beside him.
As the family of the new emperor, they were also invited to attend the ceremony.
Morgan was smiling at him, the droid screens of the droids were a peaceful green, applauding him.
At this time, hundreds of millions of people in the entire empire were applauding at the same time, but Olivia felt that she heard the applause from them.
There was a somewhat mechanical, unusually regular applause.
Then Olivia's heart suddenly settled down.
Getting off the throne, he politely shook hands with everyone around him and hugged them, and then he finally embraced his own family.
"thanks."
"thank you all."
Hug Uncle... Hug Mengmeng... Hug Sigma, and finally he hugged Mugen.
The thick and wide imperial robe drowned the black-haired young man.
This time the hug was extra firm and long.
When His Majesty the Emperor finally thanked the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, the young and senior official lowered his head.
He wanted to leave like the others, but his left hand was tightly grasped by the right hand of His Majesty the Emperor. Being pulled by His Majesty, he had to accompany His Majesty's entire schedule in the next time.
***
Olivia I became the only monarch to ascend the throne in a peaceful manner after seven successive generations of emperors of the Cantas royal family were enthroned after beheading the previous emperor in troubled times.
As expected.
The ceremony was over, and the newly appointed emperor gave the blue phoenix lotus flowers blooming along the road as a gift to the people who came to watch the ceremony and the guards who were in charge of guarding. So, before leaving, everyone went to pick flowers excitedly.
Standing quietly in the same place, Sumege felt that everything in front of her was just a dream.
He didn't die, and has survived until now. Although he was injured in the war and had some sequelae, he will be fine in the future.
His fortunes have changed.
However, the young man named Olivia ended up sitting in the same position. He didn't lead the army to rebel, he didn't assassinate all the members of the Eleven Elders, he didn't take the throne after the head of King Pronguli II was cut off, and he didn't take **** measures to suppress the people...
He ascended the throne peacefully in the midst of all expectations.
This is not surprising. In the public opinion survey, Sumege also voted. Unlike others, he thought about it carefully, and then carefully filled in Olivia's name in his form.
In his heart, the shadow of the cold, paranoid and crazy Olivia I in the dream had faded, and he chose to believe in Olivia in his real life.
This country needs an emperor, and this young man named Olivia undoubtedly has all the ingredients to become an emperor. Compared to others, he seems to give the country a better future.
that's enough.
There was a bunch of beautiful blue flowers in the hands of the people, and the people spread out happily. Seeing that only Su Meige was empty-handed, the guard who was in charge of picking flowers for the people thought about it and then divided the flower in his hand into one. give him.
"Bless Your Majesty, and bless the future of the Empire." He handed the flower to Sumeg.
"Bless Your Majesty, and bless the future of the empire." After taking the flower, Su Meige smiled slightly.
On July 12, 417, Olivia I ascended the throne.
On the same day, the astral calendar ends.
The next day is the first day of the Eternal Calendar.
