Chapter 561: Calm down
The positioning of the internal security forces in the military and political system of Arda is similar to the armed police in Paul's previous life. Currently, it retains a scale of one hundred people. When ordinary police encounter things that cannot be handled, they will be mobilized by internal security forces. In addition, they are also responsible for the security tasks of various confidential parts of the Government Affairs Council. The weapons of the Internal Guards are equipped with flintlock guns and light artillery, which are more suitable for handling extreme violent incidents than the police, who are usually equipped with cold weapons.
When Burgan started a rebellion, the State Council was deceived by him and gave him command of the internal defense forces. As a result, the internal guards suddenly became the most powerful force in Burgan's hands. They were much better trained than the militia.
But after Burgan learned that Schroeder's army was outside the city, he did not have the courage to take such an armed force out to fight. The reason was that the internal guards and Schroeder were too familiar with each other. After being taken out, there is a high probability that he will rebel before the battle. Therefore, he only led the militia out of the city to confront Schroeder, while the internal guard troops were split into several small teams and deployed in different areas of the city.
But a cannon blast from the Lord's Mansion attracted the attention of the internal guards. The team closest to the Lord's Mansion immediately sent people to the castle to inquire. Naturally, they soon learned the truth about the rebellion. Then he contacted other teams and gathered in front of the Lord's Mansion. At the same time, the people in the Lord's Mansion also knew that the town in the center of the lake was very empty at this time. Most of the militiamen had been taken outside by Bulgan. They immediately seized this Taking the opportunity, they collectively signed an order, which was announced to the entire city by the internal security forces.
Without Burgan as the commander, the few accomplices he left in the city had no backbone. Under the pressure of Schroeder outside and the Government Affairs Council inside, they were quickly arrested, and Huxin Town returned to the urban area. Under the control of loyalists.
The Internal Guards immediately sent people out of the city to learn about the latest situation, but unexpectedly found that Burgan, the initiator of the rebellion, had been killed, so they came to Schroeder.
After reading the letter handwritten by Old Ford, Chief of Staff Schroeder and 9th Infantry Battalion Commander Claude did not hesitate and immediately led the army into Lake Town. We are almost at the Lord's Mansion.
"Oh, Heavenly Father! Fortunately, you are okay."
Schroeder saw Ron, the director of the logistics department, and Kelly, the director of the equipment department, and immediately stepped forward to hug them.
"Master Schroeder, we thought we would never see you again."
Ron and Kelly had tears in their eyes.
After Schroeder realized that something was wrong and left Lake Town, the two men became the biggest obstacle to Burgan's usurpation of the leadership of the armed forces, so they were immediately raided and imprisoned.
After a while of greetings, the important officials from the military and political parties sat down to discuss the subsequent arrangements.
Schroeder brought good news to everyone. Count Grayman defeated the attackers and was still alive and well. This made Manager Ford and Butler Philip completely relieved.
After discussion, everyone agreed that the top priority was to bring the lord back to Lake Town to ensure his 100% safety, and at the same time, to bring Earl Garnard back to Lake Town.
In addition, martial law remains unchanged in Huxin Town until the aftermath of the rebellion is completely over.
Also, after recapturing the signal tower near Lake Town, the Lord's Mansion obtained information from Emden. The 6th Infantry Battalion forced back Baze who tried to enter Emden at the border. Earl's army. In the name of the staff, Schroeder wrote back to Lieutenant Colonel Walton, commander of the 6th Infantry Battalion, explaining the ins and outs of the matter, praising his choice, and ordering him to continue to alert the surrounding major forces.
Two days later, Paul and Myron returned to Lake Town one after another.
“Everyone!”
Paul summoned his subjects at the lord's palace, his voice choked with sobs.
"I have never felt that you are so kind as I do now. I...I..."
His shoulders actually shook slightly.
"Lord Graiman, please don't be too excited."
Bernard, the lord's secretary on the side, comforted him, "The people gathered here are your close friends and loyal staff. I will never harm you. "I know, Bernard. Thank you."
Paul took a few breaths slowly to calm down.
However, the lord's brows immediately frowned tightly, and everyone present could see that a sense of resentment lingered on his face.
"I will punish them severely! I will punish them severely!"
The lord repeated this sentence in a low voice, but everyone heard it clearly, it seemed that Grayman The count was to pronounce punishments on the rebels.
He suddenly stood up and said in a higher voice: "Now that I think about how procrastinating I was before, since such slow and gradual changes can arouse their rebellion, then I should have just started a storm. Just watch, I will no longer be merciful, all my ideas will be put into practice, all reforms will be launched immediately, no petitions, no public opinion, bullshit, I will never care about these anymore It’s something!”
What? Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this. Imagine? reform? Count Grayman is not thinking about how to deal with those involved in the rebellion at this time, but is thinking about his own policies. It is really baffling.
"Thomas!" Paul shouted to the chief judge of the Lord's Court.
"Yes! Mr. Grayman!" The chief judge, who had never seen Paul's attitude like this before, was smart and stood up immediately.
“Immediately begin to expand the scale of the lord’s court. Every town must have a court station, and it must be able to radiate to every surrounding village, even in remote places.”
"I understand, sir." Thomas responded hurriedly.
“The reason for this!” Paul explained: “I intend to transfer all judicial power to the lord’s court. From now on, no one is allowed to set private penalties and prisons, except for the judges of the lord’s court. , no one has the power to judge other people."
"In contrast, it is the expansion of law enforcement powers, Ruth!"
Paul named the director of the Department of Public Safety.
"Yes, sir." Ruth Hayden looked at his lord.
"I order you to expand the police force. In addition to major cities, you must also set up agencies in villages and towns. The management scope must also effectively radiate to every surrounding village."
"Follow your order, Grai Lord Man." Russ Hayden agreed.
"Wakley!"
Paul looked at Old Ford, the director of the Government Affairs Council.
“We must strengthen management at the grassroots level. The previous method of just sending an affairs officer to the village will never work.”
This is Chapter 557, the title is wrong.
