Mage Veigar

Chapter 41 Voting
Raglan stood up excitedly and raised his objection.

The word "Vega" left such a deep impression on him that whenever he heard these two simple words, he couldn't help but recall the not-so-friendly scene last night.

When we first met.

He saw a child who was petite rather than short, and who was suitable for playing with mud in the sandpit, wielding an imperial standard spear as a toy. And this child, who was wearing an ill-fitting military uniform, seemed to be about to stab the spear into the heart of a child of the same age as him.

Although it was later proved that the child was a spy.

But if you think about it carefully, this in itself is a very terrifying thing.

The fact that a child, or rather a young boy, who was about ten years old and should have been playing in the mud, was brandishing a spear with an experienced attitude and had no idea that he was about to take a life made him shudder.

Although he didn't mean to accuse the Empire of sending children to war.

But I still want to ask those bastards in the boot camp whether they are training excellent soldiers or making killing dolls for use in war.

From an objective perspective.

Strong personal strength, resolute obedience to orders from superiors, great recognition from subordinates, and single-handed completion of the first phase of a city-level top-secret mission...all these things show that Vega is indeed an outstanding Imperial officer. Even awarding the Order of Imperial Wings to such an officer is only natural.

But subjectively he was firmly opposed.

The smile he saw before leaving was already engraved deep in his brain. The fact that a toddler who should have been playing with mud was actually enjoying and craving killing was like a demon from hell craving for blood no matter from which angle you looked at it.

It is understandable that a soldier who has been on the battlefield for a long time would have such an expression.

But a child around ten years old did such a thing...

Raglan has made up his mind not to let this young officer gain greater recognition and influence in the army, because once Vega gains greater influence, then in this non-war period, the entire Kareni will probably be in a bloody storm.

"Major General Raglan, please sit down and talk."

Commander-in-Chief Foster opened his narrowed eyes a little and said, "Major Ganser, I believe you also know that the Imperial Wings has a great reputation and influence in the military. I can't give you an answer for the time being, but since you asked, then our military will definitely discuss it. No matter what the result is, it will not affect your other rewards."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Gunther saluted quickly.

Commander-in-Chief Foster nodded and said, "Well, go down and wait for the news. The military will give a reply on the evaluation of the Empire Wings by tomorrow night at the latest. You can directly ask your division commander Olcott then."

"I'll take my leave." Captain Gunther walked out of the meeting room.

The commander-in-chief saw that the door of the conference room had been closed, and then said, "Okay, everyone is the core commander of the military. I think we should just vote by raising hands on the evaluation of the Imperial Wing Medal."

Everyone nodded and had no objection.

Several soldiers delivered Vega's information to each general, and they began to slowly look through Vega's military record. The only sound in the conference room was the rustling of pages turning.

Ten minutes later, the voting began.

Olcott Owen was the first to raise his hand to agree. After all, Vega was his subordinate. If his army could produce a holder of the Imperial Wing Medal, it would not only make him proud, but also indirectly demonstrate his leadership ability.

As Olcott raised his hand, several teachers who were on good terms with him naturally raised their hands as well.

The Third Army has a total of ten divisions, three of which have raised their hands, three neutrals chose to abstain, and the remaining four division commanders who are friendly with Raglan chose not to raise their hands. The only ones who still have the right to vote are the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the General Staff, as well as the commander-in-chief Foster Nolan, who has the highest command authority. The General Staff is generally neutral.

However, the Chief of General Staff and the Deputy Chief of Staff had an argument with the commander of the 3rd Division, Lucas. At this time, only the Chief of General Staff chose to abstain for the sake of the overall situation, and the Deputy Chief of Staff simply raised his hand.

As a result, an extremely embarrassing scene occurred in the conference room.

4 people agree and 4 people disagree.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the commander-in-chief, Foster Nolan.

The only one who still has the right to vote is the commander-in-chief. In this 4:4 situation, as a wise commander-in-chief, he absolutely cannot abstain. He must cast this most precious vote.

tick-tock-

A minute later, Foster's squinted eyes opened a little, and he said as if he had just woken up, "Well... since it's 4:4, then this matter will be left to me alone to decide. Let's end today's meeting here."

As he spoke, Foster waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief."

Raglan said excitedly: "Please give us a clear decision. I think Commander Olcott must also want to know your final decision."

Olcott also looked at the commander-in-chief.

Commander-in-Chief Foster opened his squinting eyes again and said, "Let's all adjourn. I will give you a reply together with your punishment decision, Raglan, by tomorrow night."

"Yes."

"All for the glory of the empire."

Everyone stood up and saluted, then left the meeting room.

When everyone was cleared, the Chief of Staff, who had not yet left, looked at the commander-in-chief, Officer Foster, and said, "Old fox, what are you planning? Are you really going to give the Imperial Wings to a child?"

"The child you are talking about is much better than other officers."

Foster said sleepily, "Although this child's achievements are still a little far from those of the 'Empire's Wings', overall they are not far behind."

The Chief of Staff blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Old fox, I advise you to think twice before you act. If the old guys in the Imperial Army knew that you awarded such an important medal to a child, aren't you afraid of being criticized for being old and blind?"

“I don’t care about other places.”

Foster suddenly opened his eyes. "In my Third Army, I will never use age to measure a person's talent. As long as he is useful to the Empire, I will award him any medal. Although people's words are scary, I, Foster, have never been afraid of any infamy."

"It seems that you have made up your mind." The Chief of General Staff shook his head.

The commander-in-chief narrowed his eyes again. "It's not like I've made up my mind. Since I'm the one awarding the medal, I have to take responsibility for it. I'll adjust my schedule a little tomorrow. I need to have a good meeting with this young officer."
