Chapter 706 The Road Ahead
Franz is more sober than Hubble, and he has access to more information than Hubble because of his position.
The latter doesn't know what opportunities he will have, but he knows that he will definitely gain something.
But Franz knows that his cousin has decided to make him one of the typical propaganda models.
For his cousin, this decision may not be very important, but for Hubble, it is a turning point in his fate.
As long as he doesn't commit suicide, his future will definitely be bright.
This merit is not enough to make him an important official of the empire, but it is definitely no problem for him to get a stable middle-level official position all the way.
If there is further development, perhaps we can expect a higher level.
Hubble was also excited at this time. He certainly knew the identity of Baron Franz. Even the other party said that his future was bright, so there was really unlimited hope.
Of course, he was not overwhelmed by the momentary joy, and still said respectfully: "I also want to thank His Excellency the Baron for his support, otherwise I would not be here today."
Franz laughed loudly. Regardless of whether this was flattery or not, at least he showed his attitude.
Hubble was his man, and this could not be changed.
But if the other party doesn't know what's good for him, he can ruin his good deeds.
Apart from other things, there are differences between middle-level and middle-level.
Find a reason to kick you to guard the pond and make you a pond general, so what?
But if you find a position of the same level in a big city, your future will be different.
Fortunately, Hubble did not do anything stupid and always remembered his identity.
In fact, even if he broke the ceiling, his status would not be as good as Franz's.
Although Franz seems to be unpopular with the royal family, he is still one of them. As long as he doesn't rebel, he won't really fall out of favor.
Elvis still has to call him cousin, at least his status is enough to keep him going through three dynasties.
After the two exchanged a few words, Franz asked the reporters accompanying the army to come forward and start taking pictures.
As the reporters took pictures, Hubble was still a little embarrassed.
"My look is a bit shabby, how about I change clothes and take pictures again?"
It's not that Hubble has never experienced a more shabby time, but since he was conferred the title, he has paid special attention to his image.
Franz patted his shoulder, not at all disgusted: "Come with me to take a picture, keep it as a souvenir.
Don't be nagging, you will never look better than this outfit in another outfit, and it will add points when His Highness sees you dressed like this."
When Hubble heard that he could add points in front of His Highness, he didn't feel shabby anymore.
He looked so majestic!
Then, the reporter asked in person, and some details were disclosed.
In the next few days, Hubble took the reporter to several places and roughly repeated the general situation of the entire war.
These are all materials for follow-up propaganda, which will be released as needed.
Then, the things he specially asked someone to bring were delivered.
The war is still going on, but the Emerald Militia has already begun to rest on the spot.
The military supplies were gradually replenished, and everyone was able to relax.
On this day, Hubble suddenly gathered the remaining people.
These days, he was really busy.
Now that he was free, he just made up for his previous promise.
In front of everyone, he opened the suitcases one by one.
Inside were all golden banknotes.
The Royal Bank of the Great Xia Empire continued the style of the previous gold coupons, and all the banknotes looked golden.
"I promised my brothers before that everyone would get money. This is not a reward for you as the leader of the Emerald Militia, but just a reward for you as a noble."
Hubble was very clear-headed. Buying the hearts of the army in private was definitely a death sentence.
Fortunately, this was a militia, not so sensitive.
But he didn't dare to give money openly, so he could only find an excuse.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary things. Anyway, he was about to leave, so he was not afraid of being accused of buying the hearts of the army.
There was a cheer below. The lower-level militia didn't care about any taboos. They were very happy to get money.
Moreover, after this battle, their future is bright. At least with this resume, it will not be difficult to get a formal position when they return home.
Hubble did not spoil everyone's fun and waved his hand: "Give money!!!"
The money for the living is given on the spot, and the money for the dead is sent back.
This cannot be faked. Many people in the militia come from the same place.
The morale of the Emerald Militia was high after the money was distributed.
But the price is that all the money Hubble has saved for half his life is gone.
He is not a big businessman like Goode. The family assets he has saved over the years are all hard-earned money - his own sweat and the blood of his tools.
Originally, this was the foundation of the Armstrong family. Even if there was no income at all, it could maintain a decent life for a long time.
But Hubble spent almost all of it at once.
But if he were to do it again, he would definitely not regret it, and it would still be the same choice.
Money... can be earned again if it is gone.
If the opportunity is gone, it may really be gone.
After waiting for a few more days, Hubble waited for a new appointment.
The Emerald Militia entered reconstruction, but he was transferred away.
The Great Xia Empire had no new divisions that had not been formed, so it continued to speed up the formation.
This time, he was officially transferred to the position of the head of the regular army.
As the only head of the army who was not a professional among all the middle and senior officers in this group, he was very conspicuous.
Franz had put a lot of effort into this position and said a lot of good things.
If he had not acted sober before, he should have led the Emerald Militia to tour in the rear, and then after the promotion period was over, he would be kicked to the corner to watch the pond.
Don't be unconvinced, I have already done you a good job by not asking you to go to the bathhouse to give people a bath.
Now, his fate has ushered in a turning point.
Before taking office, Franz came to meet him again.
"This transfer is the best opportunity for you to change your fate.
But with your background, it is difficult to have a chance to go further in the imperial military.
Unless you have a record of fighting against the sky, such as single-handedly pushing down the New Holy United Kingdom, or capturing Fernandez I alive." Franz directly poured a basin of cold water on him and let him face the reality.
Yes, you are a hero, but heroes are not worth money.
If you really think that you can cheat all the way after one standout, you are thinking too much.
Hubble was indeed forced to calm down, but he didn't expect that the seemingly bright future had no way to go.
Fortunately, he was still sober, looking at Franz, humbly asking for advice: "Baron, please teach me something."
"It's simple, just do your own thing, and if you don't understand something, ask the staff for advice. The imperial army has its own system, you just need to make a good decision, you don't need to make great contributions, just keep it stable.
Wait until the war is over, then seek a local position and jump out of the military, so that there will be a future."
