The fort was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. All the officers, including Ganmelin, looked as though their souls had been scared out of them, staring at Shire with terrified eyes, with a hint of pleading, afraid that his next call would be directed at them.
If it were anyone else doing this, they wouldn't care at all. Nobody could take them away from here. In fact, those who tried couldn't even leave this fort.
But that person was Shire, the all-powerful Shire, who held military power, controlled the government, and influenced public opinion.
Even though the officers had support from lawmakers and capitalists, as soon as Shire published the names and evidence of those corrupt officers in the newspapers, or even just called them out,
these officers would immediately be sent to prison to face the harshest penalties.
Lawmakers and capitalists?
