The power level of each division in Fire Fighting Thieves is divided into three equal parts that are very simple and easy to understand.

The person with the highest status is undoubtedly the squad leader.

Below are 10 people with positions similar to those of mid-level cadres.

Further down, there are 50 colleagues who serve as grassroots officials.

Qingdeng arrived alone at the headquarters of the Third Division and met a group of support personnel who came to greet him outside the camp gate.

The leader of this group of responders is one of the members of the Third Division, named "Kuroba Seishi".

He has good facial features and is articulate, well-rounded and eloquent. It would be appropriate to send him as the receptionist to welcome Qingdeng.

"Lord Tachibana! I'm the official Kuroba Qingsi! Your Excellency is here, I'm welcome from afar..."

Kuroba Kiyoshi chirped and said a bunch of polite words full of honorifics.

"Gui'an." Qingdeng smiled, "You must have been waiting here for a long time to welcome me, right? I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Qingden didn't say much nonsense, and after a few brief greetings with Kuroba Seishi, he said:

"Kuroba-kun, please take me in. I can't wait to see how beautiful the interior of the camp is and how heroic the members of the third division are."

"Yes! Mr. Tachibana, please come with me! All the generals of the third division are waiting at the school grounds!"

Kuroba Shiro turned to one side, bent down and made a "please" gesture to Aoden.

Qingden passed through the camp gate and entered the camp at a speed half a body slower than Kuroyu.

"Master Tachibana, go straight in this direction. This is the archery range where we practice our bow skills. And the road we are walking on now leads directly to the school grounds."

Kuroyu enthusiastically introduced everything about the camp to Qingden.

Qingdeng also listened carefully and nodded slightly from time to time.

At this time, Kuroba Shiro, who was leading the way, suddenly tilted his head slightly and squinted at Qingden behind him.

——As rumored, our new captain is really young...

Looking at Qingden's excessively young face, a trace of contempt flashed in Kuroyu's eyes.

——You are so young that people feel so unreliable...

It's not that Kuroyu looks down on Qingden.

Rather, it's the opposite - Kuroba admires Aomori very much.

Since he was a child, Kuroba has been very fond of heroic stories about "one rider can defeat a thousand".

Whether it is "Zhao Zilong of Changshan rode alone to save the savior, seven in and seven out of Changbanpo", or "Sanada Yukimura made a desperate attack on the Tokugawa army's main formation, scaring Tokugawa Ieyasu and fled in panic", as long as this kind of protagonist is as strong as Superman,

Kuroyu likes the story of gods killing gods and Buddhas.

The various achievements Aomori has achieved so far perfectly fit Kuroba's preferences.

This young new captain has great swordsmanship and is very strong - there is no doubt about this.

But... just because a person is powerful with force does not mean that he knows how to manage and lead troops!

Looking back at the new captain's previous resume - he has never engaged in management-related work before! He has no experience in leading a team!

A general values ​​wisdom.

Throughout the ages, I have never heard of a reckless man who only knows how to fight being able to lead a team. …

Not to mention that the team Qingdeng will lead is an army with a very complicated organizational structure and human relations!

——Team 3 is not an easy team to manage... Can Tachibana-sama do it?

Kuroyu frowned slightly, and such questions couldn't help but arise in his mind.

He has served in the Third Division for three full years, so he knows how many fierce, stubborn, arrogant and dissolute generals there are in the Third Division.

Akabane, Midorikawa, Shirosaki...these guys are all thorny.

Qingdeng is really too young.

Prior to this, before Qingteng was appointed as the new captain of the Third Division, the youngest person in the Third Division was Tong Xin, who had just turned 20.

In other words - any current member of the Third Division is older than Qingden!

Japan is a country that pays great attention to seniority - this is also one of the bitter consequences of the extreme solidification of classes.

The promotion of officials basically depends on their family background and seniority.

There are very few officials who have risen through the ranks through hard work and talent.

Therefore, unless you have a very prominent family background, being "young" is a real disadvantage in the official circles of the Edo shogunate.

Qingdeng is so young that he can't control anyone at all.

With such a little guy riding on his head... Kuroyu couldn't even imagine how many people would disobey Qingden's discipline, obey Qingden's instructions, or even go against them.

Human psychology is very strange.

Everyone in the Third Division knows that Qingteng is a very powerful swordsman. They all know that Qingteng has great military exploits and has killed hundreds of souls with his sword.

so what?

When you see someone who is so much younger than you criticize yourself, you will inevitably feel awkward and uncomfortable.

What's more, this young man "airborne" here!

——Forget it, it's useless for me to think about it here. It doesn't matter to me whether Tachibana-sama can manage the third division well. He can just ask for his own blessings.

Black Feather shrugged.

Whether Aoto can sit securely as the captain of the third division... To be honest, Kuroba doesn't care at all.

As long as you don't touch his "cake" and don't affect his happy life, he doesn't care even if the sky falls!

At this time, Qingden and Kuroba had arrived at the school grounds while they were talking.

It was a dirt field that could accommodate hundreds of people circling and galloping.

From a long time ago, this area has been used as a military site for fire-fighting thieves.

The land that was originally loose and soft has become extremely hard under the trampling of countless human feet.

The compacted soil is full of large and small potholes.

There is literally not a blade of grass growing.

Looking around, except for a few scattered small insects, there is no life on the land at the school ground.

Because there is no space for them to grow, even the most tenacious weeds cannot survive in this empty field.

From a distance, Qingdeng saw a relatively neat square formation standing in the center of the school ground.

——Are these people the members of the Third Division...

Qing Denggang had this question in his mind, and Black Feather who was walking in front said quickly at the right time:

"Lord Tachibana, all the generals of the third division are here! Please review!"

Qingdeng nodded slightly and quickened his pace.

As Qingdeng gradually approached, everyone in the phalanx seemed to have rehearsed in advance. Regardless of the dust on the ground, they knelt down on one knee in uniform movements and saluted Qingdeng.

Qingdeng smiled and waved his hand, saying "no courtesy, please get up".

At this time, Qingdeng suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time in his life that so many people had bowed down to him, and it was also the first time that he had said "no courtesy" to so many people.

With one call and a hundred responses, a large group of people listened to his orders... It felt a bit strange.

In one fell swoop, he was upgraded from "the 'managed' who was controlled by others" to "the 'manager' who manages 60 soldiers" - Qingdeng was not yet fully accustomed to this drastic change in status.

Qingdeng wanted to get to know the middle-level cadres of the team first.

So, he asked Kuroyu in a low voice: "Who are Yuli?".

Black Feather said respectfully:

"Tachibana-sama, the people in the front row of the array are the members of our third division! Please allow me to introduce you one by one - this is Shirasaki Heijiro. He has been serving as a thief for 30 years.

Year! He is the oldest person in our third division!"

As soon as Kuroyu finished speaking, a middle-aged man with mostly white hair walked out of the queue slowly with an expressionless face.

"Tachibana-sama." The middle-aged man bent down to salute and introduced himself in a lukewarm tone, "Your Majesty, Shirasaki Heijiro."

Qingdeng smiled: "Gui'an. I'm here for the first time. Please give me your advice in the future."

"..." Shirasaki Heijiro nodded gently and remained silent.

"This is Midorikawa Gozaburo."

Kuroyu pointed to the next person - a young man with a tall figure and a fairly handsome face.

Midorikawa smiled slightly, and after briefly introducing himself, he nodded to Qingto.

"This is Akabane Koichiro."

Akabane: "..."
To be continued...
