Chapter 715: Your Highness
Someone wins and someone loses, and Hubble is the big winner.
After advancing all the way, he was finally rotated to the rear.
Of course, this rear is only relative.
The place where he rested was not far from Songshan.
This was the place where he fought his first battle in the regular army, and it was also a lucky place.
But now, this is already the real rear.
The front-line troops are almost reaching the New Holy City. As a group of troops participating in the counterattack, Hubble has naturally reached his limit.
But he still felt regretful. Seeing the greatest credit in front of him, he had to retreat. It was a pity.
Fortunately, he had already made enough credit. If he continued to grab credit, he was even afraid that his colleagues would shoot him from behind.
After all, compared with other officers, he was a real outsider.
So, it was better to retreat to the rear honestly.
Hubble had time to go out during the rest time.
After several months of military career, he had already gotten used to the new living habits.
He may not feel it himself, but when Olike saw him, he could feel the military temperament coming towards him.
Especially Hubble deliberately wore a military uniform, and the two bars and two stars on his shoulders made him unable to look away for a long time.
Even if he followed his brother on the right path, he still envied Hubble.
After all, although this road is more difficult, it is also more dazzling!
These two friends have not seen each other for a long time.
This time it was Good who received the news and asked Olike to contact Hubble on his own initiative.
The latter is no longer the weak slave hunter who asked for help from Good Trading Company that year. He can even be on par with Good now.
It can only be said that young people should not be despised for being poor. No one knows what kind of encounters they will have in the future. They can soar to the sky in a short time.
Olike's mood is complicated, but he is no longer a simple boy, and he will not show it on his face.
The matter that Good calculated Hubble in the past will not be mentioned.
At least looking back on the past, Good Trading Company has given Hubble a lot of care, otherwise he would not have accumulated a rich fortune.
Therefore, Hubble has some true feelings for the Good brothers.
After all, they helped him when he was down and out, so how could he ignore them when he became rich?
"Hubble, congratulations, you finally fulfilled your dream." Orlik took the initiative to hug Hubble and congratulated him with some sadness.
This was also his dream, but unfortunately... his good friend was already ahead.
Hubble could understand Orlik's mood. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "I'm just lucky. I believe you will seize your opportunity soon."
"I hope so!" Orlik put his mood in order and pulled Hubble's arm: "Long time no see, we must get together today, and tell me about the battlefield by the way."
Hubble naturally went there happily, he also wanted to relax.
This time, Good stood outside the door to greet him in person.
In a trance, it seemed to be back to six or seven years ago, but that time it was Orlik who came out to greet him.
At that time, Good, a big businessman of the time, also became Sir Good, a well-known silver gentleman.
Of course, Hubble has changed more. He is already a regular legion commander and a knight of the Empire. He is a potential new star.
Good didn't feel embarrassed at all. The status of both sides was equal, and the past was never a problem.
"Sir Good, why did you come out in person!"
Hubble was a little surprised, and then he really greeted the other party first.
"Of course I came out to welcome the hero of our empire, Hubble... I didn't embarrass the men of our New World." Good narrowed the slightly awkward atmosphere with a few words.
The three walked into the house together and sat down separately.
Good asked some details on the battlefield and talked about some things he was doing recently.
These are things that don't need to be kept secret, and speaking out can also increase everyone's relationship.
Then, he talked about the dry goods: "I heard that His Highness is about to arrive in the new occupied area. Hubble, have you heard about it?"
Hubble was surprised. He really hadn't heard of this news.
Franz would not tell him these things on purpose. More often, Franz would take the initiative to arrange them instead of explaining them bit by bit.
"Is this news accurate? Entering the new occupied area at this time is really not very safe." Hubble tried to express his opinion with a neutral description.
In fact, people of insight know that the Great Xia Empire does not need to take risks, and safety is the top priority.
Hubble has also been affected in the army these days.
Good is completely the opposite. He will not look at this matter from a purely military perspective.
"Perhaps Your Highness wants to appease the people. The war is never over. How to rule the new territory requires more energy.
At this time, Your Highness's move to the new occupied area can not only give confidence to the wait-and-see factions at home, but also reassure the civilians in the occupied areas."
Therefore, big businessmen and officials are more supportive of Qin's behavior.
They think there is no risk. The New Holy United Kingdom has not died suddenly, but it is impossible for any unexpected power to erupt.
Even if the war on the front line is unfavorable, there is still time to react.
But from a political point of view, Qin's going to the new occupied area is of great significance, which can be equivalent to a large amount of manpower and material resources.
This is also Qin's choice that everyone understands.
Hubble pondered for a while and admitted that what Goode said made sense. If he entered the administrative system in the future, his thinking would not be so simple.
"I understand. We will protect His Highness's safety and will never let these black slaves affect His Highness's mood." Hubble didn't expect an accident at all.
He felt that the biggest risk might be black slave rebellion.
After all, the New Holy United Kingdom implemented a more relaxed racial policy. For the black slaves, the Great Xia Empire was obviously even more unpopular.
Therefore, it is very likely that there will be some small-scale riots. The danger is not that dangerous, but it will affect the mood of His Highness, which is also a disgraceful thing for them.
On this issue, Goode also gave some suggestions.
Although Hubble was just resting on the spot, and security was a matter of the Sheriff's Department, if there was an accident, he would be dispatched.
Therefore, some preparations can be made in advance and the army can conduct some public exercises to deter restless black slaves.
In addition, do some anticipatory drills so that you can respond quickly if an unexpected event occurs.
Hubble listened to these suggestions. These preparations may never be used, but it is better than not being prepared when they are used.
While we were chatting happily, someone was sent from the military camp to look for Hubble.
"Commander, we have the latest military orders."
Hubble stood up and said goodbye hastily: "Sir Goode, Orric, we will talk next time."
"Go and do your work! We have nothing to do here."
Goode and Orlick saw Hubble out the door. Looking at his figure leaving in a hurry, Orlick was a little worried: "What happened?"
"Maybe... it's a good thing." Goode thought thoughtfully.
