Chapter 454 - The Cape Of Good Hope Meeting
"Your Highness, if you have been waiting for this letter of mine, then I would like to apologize first. Out of caution, I used a large amount of magic power to make sure that your magic communication beacon was not being monitored before I dared to send you this letter that I had written a long time ago. To be honest, before I wrote this letter, I was quite hesitant. Because I wasn"t sure whether your role in the mutiny was that of the mastermind or the innocent person who had been deceived from the beginning to the end. Although my personal intuition was inclined to believe that you belonged to the latter, I couldn"t be sure. The fact of the blood had proved to me that my intuition could be wrong at times, and that it could be so terribly wrong. So I think you should understand that writing this letter to you is very risky. But I decided to do it in the end. My reason is simple. I need allies now more than when I last saw you. And if my instincts are right this time, then you and I need allies, too. I grew up in a closed environment for the first eighteen years of my life, where I learned a lot, but I didn"t learn what life was all about. When I first came to this world, I didn"t make up my mind because I wasn"t sure what I wanted. All I had were crazy teenage thoughts, wishful thinking, and unrealistic fantasies about the future. In fact, until a few weeks ago, I was completely living the dream and the stupor that I had built. I thought I was mature and serious enough, but it wasn"t until now that I realized how naive and ignorant I had been.
But now I have to say, it"s all behind me.
I have a brother who has washed my eyes with his blood. I"ve finally figured out what kind of place I"m living in. It"s not a simulation, it"s a clear and brutal reality. I finally figured out what I wanted to do. I was destined to crush countless dreams and ambitions to get what I wanted. I was going to take power. Power that would allow me to be completely free. I had naively thought that I would be able to take a piece of the world for myself in a very short time. Then I would be completely free. Now, I know that from the moment I took the first step, I was destined to use my entire life to accomplish all of this. Although the situation has changed greatly, I still believe that I have great value to you. In order to prove my value, I want to make two things clear to you. First, the promise of unifying the third province within three years will still not change, but the situation may change slightly. Second, I will completely destroy Karman"s forces within three to four months. Your Highness, I look forward to your friendship. If you give me your friendship, I will return it tenfold, and if you give me anything else, I will return it tenfold."
After reading the letter very carefully in his mind several times, Ulysses felt like a prisoner who had been under a huge rock and finally set free. He raised his head, let out a long sigh, and then slowly closed his eyes.
While Ulysses was feeling relieved in Ulysses, at the Cape of Good Hope, Lei Luo finally met the Katz that he had been looking forward to for a long time.
Unlike what Lei Luo had imagined, Katz was not a strong man like Zha Mu. Instead, he was a little thin and wore a pair of gla.s.ses.
He looked more like a researcher than a pirate.
Although it was the first time they met, Lei Luo and Katz weren"t unfamiliar when they met at the Empire Harbor.
"Sorry, I"m late."
This was the first thing Katz said when he saw Lei Luo.
"No, you"re just in time." Lei Luo shook his head.
In the Cape of Good Hope, there were five people gathering.
They were the five founders of the Black Angel Army. They were Lei Luo, Allie, Morton, Zacken, and Katz from the Free Sea.
Although everyone sat casually, especially Lei Luo, who was leaning on the bed, it was a formal meeting.
This meeting was later called the Cape of Good Hope Meeting.
Ever since the Alfa Empire was unified, due to culture, bloodline, tradition, and various differences, it was difficult for any kind of strength or ideology to dominate.
When Emperor Victor unified the entire empire, due to the limitations of technology and other conditions, he was unable to use violent military means.
After completing the initial military acc.u.mulation and forming an absolute advantage over any single force in the empire, Emperor Victor actually used diplomatic means, to force the other military leaders to recognize his authority to complete the unification.
This resulted in the creation of the basic unit of the human military system, which was the lord.
The lord had absolute control over all the commanders, soldiers, and ships under his command.
In reality, the alliance leader was just an even bigger lord. Due to his great strength and reputation, he became the chief mediator of the alliance.
They only had nominal authority over the Lord, but in reality, they had no way to go beyond the lord and manage the army under his command.
It was even more so for the feudal lords. Even if they were the feudal lords or alliances that they personally nurtured, after forming their own factions, the feudal lords could only command them through affection and the temptation of benefits. They could not forcefully control them directly.
The historic significance of this Cape of Good Hope Meeting, which was attended by five people, was that this group of people decided to create a military group that was completely different from all the other groups.
When Lei Luo raised this question, everyone present was a little confused. What was a completely different military group?
As for their questions, Lei Luo divided them into three paragraphs and explained it in detail.
His first paragraph said so.
"First, the management model is different. This military group has and only has one authority, and that is me. The appointment, transfer, and promotion of any fleet commander, as well as the recruitment of more than 100 soldiers, can only be carried out with my approval. In addition, a military justice department must be established, with a military judge for every 500 people. Military judges are not under the control of any military commander, and are directly under the control of the military justice director. The Chief Military Advocate General is directly responsible to me. When necessary, two or more military judges have the power to terminate the command of a military commander of the same rank, and three or more military judges have the power to suspend the command of a military commander of only one rank above them."
