I agree, I don’t think it’s particularly noteworthy except for the fact it was all regional recruitment chiefs at once.
This suggests either a high level of corruption (I don’t think it would be more than other places in the conditions) or a power play between elites in the military.
Alternatively their allies have told them to do so.
Yes, that bit is a little noteworthy. I kind of glossed over it, mostly because there aren’t that many heads of regions so it doesn’t take much for all of them to be corrupt. But it does stand out.
