Chapter 90 Military Procuratorate
Imperial Military Procuratorate.

This is an institution in the imperial trial system, parallel to the military court and the Military Security Department. Their main functions are just as the name suggests - supervision and prosecution.

They not only supervise the working procedures of the entire trial system, including the military courts, but also have the power to supervise and prosecute the entire army. They even have independent powers of investigation and approval of arrests.

Of course, while having such great power.

They share the same fatal flaw as the Military Security Department - lack of judicial power.

Only the military court has the power of trial. After investigating and collecting evidence in a case, the Military Procuratorate and the Military Security Department cannot directly try the criminals. They need to bring public prosecution to the military court and attend the trial as the prosecution.

All three organs are part of the empire's judicial system.

They restrain each other, yet complement each other, controlling the operation of the entire army.

The Third Army Group has three procuratorates.

The first-level military procuratorate is responsible for the inspection and supervision of officials at the division level and above, the second-level military procuratorate is responsible for the inspection and supervision of officials at the deputy regiment level and above, and the third-level military procuratorate is responsible for the inspection and supervision of officials and soldiers below the battalion level.

In the evening, Andre arrived at the door of the Level 3 Procuratorate.

A few hundred meters next to the Third Army Level 3 Military Procuratorate is the location of the Third Army Level 3 Military Court.

He took a deep breath.

Andrei entered the gate of the Military Procuratorate with the video footage of the guerrilla mission that he had retrieved from the archives of the Third Army Group using his authority at the regimental level. He wanted the Military Procuratorate to intervene in this matter.

Since he can't get Vega as a chess piece.

Then Andre must not let his old enemy Gunther Burton get it.

This is why he was willing to risk ruining his own future and come to the Military Procuratorate with irrefutable evidence.

Need to know is.

The Level 7 Investigation Team of the 3th Division has been instructed by the division headquarters to intervene in the investigation. This is also a signal from the th Division to the outside world that they must protect Vega and no one is allowed to interfere in this matter.

At this time, Andrei brought evidence to the Military Procuratorate to report Vega, which meant that he did not give any face to the 7th Division at all.

Although the 6th Division where he served had an unfriendly relationship with the 7th Division, and the commander of the 7th Division had no control over him, but as a regimental-level officer, if he offended a general at the division level, his future would probably be over.

The anger in his eyes flashed again.

Andre does not regret the decision.

----

the next morning.

A group of uninvited guests came to Vega's door. They were prosecutors from the Imperial Military Procuratorate.

Vega really didn't expect that someone from the Military Procuratorate would come to his door.

Because the Level 3 investigation team under the division has already intervened, the three major organs of the trial system will generally not conduct a deeper investigation into this case, unless...

He thought of a possibility.

If someone raises an objection to the Military Procuratorate and submits evidence, then in order to maintain the external fairness and prestige of the trial system, the Imperial Procuratorate cannot turn a blind eye to Vega's violation of military law.

"Hello, Lieutenant Vega."

The cold voice came from the leading young man, who was one of the prosecutors of the Military Procuratorate. The snow-white epaulettes on his shoulders also had a staff embroidered on them, representing his identity as a wizard prosecutor.

"Good morning, Attorney General."

Although Vega had a bad feeling in his heart, he did not show any panic on his face. He looked at the prosecutor's office with neither arrogance nor servility, and did not bow down to the other party because of the other party's special rights.

The young wizard prosecutor frowned. He was obviously not satisfied with Vega's attitude. He had no respect for a prosecutor with special powers. Didn't the kid know his identity?

Obviously not.

Any soldier can tell his identity from the uniform he wears.

In other words, this young officer, knowing his identity, did not maintain the proper humble attitude towards him like the other officers under investigation.

He first suppressed his dissatisfaction.

Then he looked down at Vega and said, "Hello, Second Lieutenant Vega. I am here on the orders of the Senior Prosecutor of the Third Army Level 3 Military Procuratorate to learn some basic information about the guerrilla mission. Please do me a favor."

Although he said please, the tone was quite stiff.

After hearing what the other party said, Vega could only make a gesture of invitation.

After all, the situation is stronger than people. Once he refuses to cooperate with the other party, Vega doesn't think that the six mages behind him are vegetarians. It is said that the Imperial Judgment System has the most advanced military force. It seems that this is true. Just like this, a prosecutorial team is dispatched casually, which is the standard configuration of 6 mages.

The group entered a room which was not very spacious.

The leading young prosecutor sat opposite Vega, and the other six stood behind him.

The young prosecutor took out a stack of documents and asked, "Second Lieutenant Vega, during the previous guerrilla mission, your temporary superior, the commander of the 7th Battalion of the 2th Regiment of the 4nd Brigade of the 5th Division, ordered you to surrender, but you did not obey his order and killed him on the spot. Is this true?"

“There is no word called surrender in the dictionary of the Imperial soldiers.” Vega did not give a direct answer.

The young prosecutor said in a cold tone with anger: "I just need you to answer yes or no. Even if the order issued by your superior is wrong, as a subordinate you have no right to question the order of your superior. Moreover, the order to surrender may just be a delaying tactic of the battalion commander. Because of your disobedience, not only did the troops almost get wiped out, but also two professionals were lost."

puff.

Vega was not overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum. Instead, he laughed out loud: "A delaying tactic? Mr. Prosecutor, as a prosecutor in the trial system that relies on evidence for everything, don't you think this inference without any evidence is a bit ridiculous?"

“Lieutenant Vega, how can you admit your mistake?!”

The young prosecutor already had a slightly angry expression on his face: "To tell you the truth, your behavior of disobeying orders and killing your superior without authorization not only defied the military regulations of the empire, but also ignored the investigation and trial power of our judicial system!"

“I don’t think I did anything wrong.” Veigar stood firm.

If he hadn't killed Rhodes at that time, he might not even have the chance to be investigated here now.

"you!"

Swish swish.

The young prosecutor picked up the pen and wrote in the remarks column without hesitation: bad attitude, refusal to plead guilty, uncooperative... and other comments.

After finishing writing.

He stood up and pointed at Vega and said, "Second Lieutenant Vega, please correct your attitude from now on. We have all the key evidence in our possession, and we will bring a public prosecution to the military court soon. Since you are not cooperating with my investigation, I will now exercise the prosecutor's office's power of arrest against you."

“Please show me the arrest warrant.” Vega responded calmly.

The young prosecutor winked at the six people behind him and said, "We will prepare the arrest documents later. Lieutenant Vega, please come with us first."

The words fell.

The six mages stepped forward together. If Veigar did not cooperate, they would not rule out the use of force.

Veigar took a step back, realizing his situation.

He must not be arrested by the procuratorate at this time, otherwise he would completely lose the opportunity to seek help from the military, because people in the trial system never care about any personal feelings outside the law. Once the military court, which regards the law as a sacred book, makes a judgment, no one can do anything to change the situation.
