In the conference room, the aroma of hot tea filled the air, but the voices of disputes never stopped.
"No, 3000 people is too many, up to 500 people, this is the biggest concession that can be handed over! They didn't demand too much!" a northern administrator shouted.
The military ranks inside the wall are a bit special, Erwin is the commander of the Survey Corps, Nile is the commander of the gendarmerie division and Pixis is the commander of the garrison troops. Although they are called leaders of the three main corps, their official positions are not the same.
Considering the prestige, before the Survey Corps was not well received anywhere, now it was the most respected and loved within all the walls.
"1000 people, at least of this number. Besides, this is for the queen's safety, there should be no such restrictions to maintain her safety. What kind of rule are you talking to me about, do you wish to be above the queen like the previous corruption?" Said the nobleman named Derek with a smile.
Of course, his smile and performance now is shallow, at this moment he can't contain his urge to punch that bastard shouting in his face and at the same time he deeply feels that he is winning and taking the lead in his fight to maintain his status.
Everyone's face changed slightly when they heard the words. Although they wanted to have some control over the queen in their hearts, no one dared to say that on the surface. After all, the rule of the royal family was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and this would be considered treason.
"It's good, only a thousand people, but the queen's guard..." Said the supreme commander of the three legions Dairus Zackly, thinking for a moment about the situation.
He knew that the authority and jurisdiction of the central gendarmerie should be reduced, and consequently linked with the three main bodies, all this so that they would no longer act as arrogantly as they did before.
"It is not impossible to be next to the three main bodies, but it cannot be under the jurisdiction of the military and the government, and must be led directly by the queen."
When they heard Dairus Zackly's words everyone gave in. Some people said it should be under the direct jurisdiction of the gendarmerie, but if this was proposed, Derek was anything but stupid and would not agree.
After two full days of wrangling and posturing, this morning, the matter finally came to a good conclusion.
Negotiating authority, numbers and security everyone came to a satisfactory agreement. In the end, everyone agreed and committed to:
The new Central Gendarmerie will consist of 1,000 people, 500 of whom will form the Queen's guard, led directly by Ymir, and the other 500 will be the remaining members of the central gendarmerie and their authority will be external, led by another leader with the same authority as Ymir.
At present, the recorded number of the reorganized Central Gendarmerie is only 500 people, and the part that is not compiled will be selected from a series of gendarmerie recruitments.
In other words, the Central Gendarmerie will be led by two captains, an inner one who will always be with the Queen and an outer one who will deal with problems outside the palace walls, with the same authority as any regiment, but is not affiliated with the army and these cannot impose military orders, but must also comply with the human charter and the law, their actions require the order and permission of the Queen, and the joint supervision of the three main bodies so that no Royal guard will act in an authoritarian manner.
After a series of games, the two sides, who were on edge, barely came to an agreement and the atmosphere finally calmed down.
Everyone was to consider the participation of the nobles because it was not a good idea considering the external enemies, so the nobles alone were ensuring their safety in this sudden problem.
"Now, being the captain of the queen's guard of the central gendarmerie, you can prepare all the information you know about the world and civilization outside our walls." Nile Dok said coolly, head of the Gendarmerie.
Ymir, who left the Survey Corps and wears the uniform of the Central Gendarmerie, officially became the captain of the Queen's Guard, shook his head directly, "No, we must wait until Historia is officially crowned and the authority of the central gendarmerie established, after all it is difficult to recover the Mary Wall in a short time."
In order to stabilize people's hearts, the army and the government have officially announced Historia as queen through the newspapers, but the queen has not yet been officially crowned, Dairus Zackly will perform the ceremony.
Noble Derek, who is quite wealthy, also added: "This is a necessary vigilance, I hope you understand, and let me inform you that the captain of the Ymir Guard will officially receive the title after this meeting."
"About the captain of the outer corps of the Royal Guard, the candidate has been selected and will be nominated. Although according to the rules, his consent should not be considered, let me tell you that this position will be instantly filled by the member of the fourth squadron of the Survey Corps, Takashi Ackerman."
"Mmm, I think you must have heard of his name, he is the one who defeated Kenny the Ripper and rescued the Queen from her father's clutches."
There was a sudden silence on the scene, and the chiefs thought of a scandal that had been widely circulated recently, Derek was a little surprised, he thought someone would criticize him, after all, Takashi is also a recruit.
However, nothing like he expected happened.
"Haha, I think it's okay, it's very interesting and with his current service merits, it's somewhat not forced." Commander Pixis said with a smile, Takashi's current service merit this time was not small, he not only solved the doubts of the walls but also found out who the enemies outside the walls were, he also captured Kenny the ripper and captured all the central police soldiers with minimal casualties, the supreme commander himself personally honored him yesterday.
Commander Erwin smiled. Unlike Ymir, Takashi did not separate from the Survey Corps. In fact, Ymir forced him into the Queen's Guard. And of course he would not object to such a thing.
Nile Dok was equally impressed with Takashi. He thought about all that this young Takashi had accomplished so far and he must admit that his path is not a short one.
And now it seems that his status will be much higher, after all, if the queen agrees, he will have no right to intervene, now Queen Historia will be no one's puppet, although she will not be as good as the previous Kings, the forces under her hand and the power of a titan will be enough even to persuade the supreme commander Dairus Zackly.
In addition, the elderly artist Darius also admired Takashi, because Takashi understood "art", which was different from ordinary people who had no vision.
For some reason, Takashi was really famous this time, almost everyone knew and admired him as the sword demon.
Recently, the propaganda machine began to frantically generate momentum for the new queen. In fact, the military has no other way. At present, there is an urgent need to stabilize people's hearts, so it must do so.
This time, Rod Reiss was killed directly by Ymir, so History naturally did not have to become an "enemy of his father."
Regarding History's experience, after the embellishment and modification, as newspapers spread all over the world inside the wall, discussions were everywhere on the ramparts.
She trained hard and was willing to help others from her time in the army training corps, and graduated with excellent evaluations ranking eleventh in the entire southern group. In the war of reconquest at Trost, she was not afraid of danger and ran bravely to the front line.
The battle to capture the female titan was responsible for intercepting a large number of titans from entering the forest. A titan that appeared on Rose's wall and quickly evacuated the crowd regardless of safety. In the battle of Utgard City, without weapons, he persisted in the fight to the end....
The above situation is really true, he just embellished a little and praised some more words, it is not a lie, it is an artistic process to give fame and love to Historia.
There is another gossip circulating widely, that is, young and promising, handsome and rampant, the strongest soldier of the new generation with the title of the sword demon, bravely attacked more than fifty titans and beheaded them, cruelly tore them apart to save the queen, who was now a captain of the Royal guard.
It is said that he has an unclear relationship with the queen.... As to why it is an unclear, ambiguous relationship.
"Boom!"
In a room, Ymir slammed the newspaper on her desk in a building where she was parking the central gendarmerie corps inside the capital and angrily shouted, "Who the fuck wrote this? Article full of shit! Is that idiot a hero? What a princess and knight, nonsense..."
In the office, Duran, who had been released from prison by Ymir, lowered his head slightly and said, "Captain, this is all for publicity, after all, tomorrow the queen will be officially crowned, and there is an urgent need to boost her acceptance."
"This was written by a young man with the pseudonym 'Sweet' from the Propaganda Department, and the effect is unexpectedly good. It was passed to many fake newspapers created by the nobles, and the public responded with enthusiasm and attention."
At present, there is no doubt about Dauren's loyalty, Takashi had no problem with him before. All the former members who were loyal to Kenny were relocated under Takashi, they all decided to cut short as they did not want to stay in prison.
And although Ymir rejects this kind of propaganda, Historia is the only one with the blood of the Royal family. Although her status is not very glorious, the propaganda department has been very responsible in their work.
With the full help of these Central Gendarmerie veterans, Ymir was able to control the entire Central Gendarmerie in a short period of time. Of course, it was also related to the Queen's deep trust in Ymir and the Survey Corps' full support.
Ymir snorted coldly and looked at Takashi, who was quietly drinking black tea and admiring the scenery outside the window lying in an armchair.
"Come on Ymir, there was a section that said you could be a forbidden love in my story, a love trio is what gets them attention these days."
"You can rot." Ymir said with a grimace and pointed out, "By the way, why are you in my office?"
"I was just looking at how you're doing with this job, you were so irresponsible I thought you might get in trouble..."
