In the tallest log house in the military camp on Foxby Hill, a colonel with three silver-white crescents on his epaulettes was slapping the table and yelling: "Did your head get caught in the door or kicked by a donkey? There was a grudge between them. This Fitney even said that he wanted to teach that Claude a lesson. You also put them in a small team. Are you deliberately causing trouble for the legion? Isn't such a big thing happening now? How are you going to give the legion a lesson? An explanation said"
The one who was scolded was Military Judge Lieutenant Sdri. It was him who made Master Chief Fitney serve as the temporary leader of Claude's recruit team. Of course, Chief Fitney's own efforts were also indispensable. But no one expected that things would turn out like this, making it known to everyone in the army.
"Bi.BiZhi didn't expect things to turn out like this. I just felt that Claude was too unruly and unruly and difficult to discipline. As soon as he entered the camp, he injured six veterans and sent them to the treatment center. So. .So I was worried that ordinary veterans would not be able to control him, so I wanted to send this Fitney over and teach him a lesson to prevent him from being arrogant and domineering in the military camp." Lieutenant Sdri defended himself with a pale face. .
"How on earth did you become a military judge? Don't you even read the files?" The angry colonel grabbed the water glass on the table and threw it at Lieutenant Sdri. The tea in the water glass splashed onto his uniform.
The colonel slapped the table: "This Claude was recommended by Viscount Felidos. He is our old regimental commander and a distinguished senior of the regiment. It is rare that he wrote us a letter of recommendation, recommending this Claude." , thinking that he was a promising talent. In addition, Second Lieutenant Most, who was in charge of recruit training, gave Claude a very high evaluation in the file. He only scored 17 excellent marks among more than 400 recruits, and Claude ranked No. one
There was also the fight in the cafeteria. Everyone knew the cause. It was the veterans who took the lead in provoking the fight, which led to them all entering the treatment center. For the sake of balance, the legion only played 30 big boards each, which does not mean that this Claude is difficult to discipline. During the investigation after the training retaliation incident, the team members who were camping in the same tent expressed their affection for Claude and considered him a trustworthy companion.
Lieutenant Sdri, I don't know why you are so prejudiced against this Claude that you have ignored his excellent performance in recruit training and non-commissioned officer training in the past few months. As a military judge, you should treat every soldier who enlists in the army from a fair and equitable standpoint, rather than deliberately making things difficult. You should suspend your duties first. As a military judge, you are not suitable for this position. We will wait for the notice from the army to see where you will be assigned."
"Yes, Colonel Mentok, I obey your orders." Lieutenant Sdri replied at attention.
"You go out first." Colonel Mentok did not give Lieutenant Sdri a good look.
"As ordered." Lieutenant Sdri tried his best to straighten his chest, saluted, turned around and walked out, but his steps staggered a bit, revealing his inner panic.
There was also a row of puppet-like lieutenant-level officers standing in the room. Captain Max, Second Lieutenant Most, and Second Lieutenant Gilp, whom Claude knew, were all among them. However, they had not appeared when Colonel Mentok was furious. He used his voice and movements to try to make himself a qualified background wall to prevent the colonel's anger from being diverted and vented on himself.
Colonel Mentok sat down on the chair tiredly, picked up the two letters on the table, looked at the labels on them, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Our old regiment leader has given us a big trouble, I really I don’t understand how he thought of recommending Baroness Maria’s disciples to join our army as soldiers. Since they are pharmacy students, wouldn’t it be better to wait two years to pass the junior pharmacist exam before joining the army? Even if they become Master Chief, he still has to go to the battlefield. What should he explain to Baroness Maria if the old commander is gone?"
There is also a stack of letters on the table, and the recipients of these letters all have the same name, Claude Field. The two letters picked out by Colonel Mentok were also addressed to Claude. Different from the stack of letters, the envelopes of these two letters had golden roses and thorns pattern badges, which indicated the ownership of the envelopes. The author has the status of a royal noble. If you look at the address below, Baron Normandy's Mansion, you will know who sent the letter.
If it hadn't been for the two letters sent by Mrs. Maria, a training injury incident during non-commissioned officer training might not have alarmed the entire regiment, and Colonel Mentok would not have been ordered to deal with the incident.
"Colonel, when Claude joined the army, it was not clearly written in the file that he was Baroness Maria's pharmacy disciple. We didn't know about it." Lieutenant Gilp took a step forward.
"It's just that we don't know, so it's difficult for us to deal with it." Colonel Mentok sighed: "If nothing happens, then after the non-commissioned officer training is over, we can pretend that we don't even know about it, and then we go to the battlefield. Whether he lives or dies depends on his own good luck, and it has nothing to do with us. But now such an accident occurs during training, and it becomes our responsibility. Damn it, Sdri, he has water in his head, right? , to actually do such a thing, this is setting us on fire."
Seeing the bewildered faces of the lieutenant-level officers in the room, Colonel Mentok stood up with a wry smile: "You should all know in your heart that the war will not break out for more than half a year, and it is very likely that our kingdom will be in June this year. Declaring war on the five countries of the Anti-Austria Alliance, we will launch an attack on the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Sidings. The first batch of legions to participate in the attack are our Blue Feather Legion, Red Dragon Legion and Griffin Legion. The problem is now The War Department has not yet made up its mind whether to attack in two directions or to concentrate its forces to sweep one direction first and defend the other first and then counterattack.
If two groups attack together, then whether our Blue Feather Legion attacks alone or joins with which legion, there is also a question of who is the leader and who is the deputy. If we attack all the way first, will our Blue Feather Legion be left behind to defend? Our legion commander is currently discussing with people from the Ministry of War in the capital, hoping that our legion will either attack alone or become the leader of a joint attack. We must not stay in defense or become the deputy of other legions. It is said that the commanders of the Red Dragon Legion and the Griffin Legion also went to the Ministry of War. Do you all understand what I mean?"
Of course, they all understood. The eyes of the lieutenant-level officers in the room were all shining. When war breaks out, as long as you are lucky, military glory and glory will be within your reach. There is no officer who does not like war. It is the ladder for them to rise. Especially in the past 20 years, the Blue Feather Legion has only had a few small-scale conflicts at the border, or suppressed the rioting people, and has not had a good opportunity to participate in the war. Now that the war is approaching, who doesn't want to gain military exploits and become famous in the future
As for what the legion commander went to the royal capital to discuss with the people from the Ministry of War, everyone already knew that the two countries connected to the border with the Kingdom of Ovilas, the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Sidings, had already been built at strategically important places on the border. It has various defense facilities, just like a crab, with a hard shell on the outside. You have to open the shell to eat the delicious and tender crab meat inside.
If they cannot become the leader of the attack along the way, then the Blue Feather Legion will definitely be sent to attack those defense facilities. It is not that they cannot attack them, but it will definitely cause heavy casualties. The most fearful thing is to pay a lot of casualties and sacrifices to open that hard shell, only to have no stamina and have to retreat and recuperate, leaving the fruits of victory to other legions.
"But, Colonel Mentok, what does this have to do with dealing with the Claude incident?" Captain Max asked.
"Of course it does matter," Colonel Mentok sighed: "His pharmacy teacher is Baroness Maria, and Baroness Maria is our Majesty's very confidant sister. She goes to and from the palace and works with the Queen and several princes. Like a family member, her words carry great weight in His Majesty's heart. If Claude can safely enlist in our legion and receive training to become a non-commissioned officer, then there will be no problem. Will he be able to make a decision on the battlefield in the future? Merit depends on his own performance. Even if he died in battle, Baroness Maria would have nothing to say.
But now he was injured twice just after joining the army for training. The first time we can claim that we were unaware of it. This was an emergency because the veteran provoked him to fight back. Both parties were injured and entered the treatment center. Our The punishment was that both sides were at fault, and both were given three days of confinement after recovering from their injuries. This can be said to be justified.
But now damn Sdri has messed up everything. He deliberately transferred Fitney to be Claude's squad leader, giving him a chance to take revenge on Claude. It's fine now. Claude will have to stay in bed for at least two or three months to recover. Baroness Maria knows what she will think about this.
Does she think that our legion is deliberately making things difficult for her disciples, especially after Claude received such excellent results and evaluations in the recruit training, he was retaliated during the training and was injured again and entered the treatment center. It becomes the responsibility of our army.”
"I heard that Baroness Maria never likes to get involved in these military affairs, nor does she like to help people find jobs. Many people want to make suggestions to His Majesty through her, but they are all turned away by her," Captain Max said.
Colonel Mentok sighed: "That's why we can't offend her. We don't expect her to speak for our Blue Feather Legion, we just hope she doesn't ruin our plan. Think about it, if she knows about her disciples, Lord was injured in retaliation during training, so as long as she says a few bad words about our Blue Feather Legion in front of His Majesty, I am sure that our Blue Feather Legion will not be able to take the lead in attacking along the way, and will even be arranged to stay behind and become a defense. force.
This is the reason why I was angry with Lieutenant Sdri just now. He has always been proud of his aristocratic background and looks down on those civilian soldiers. Dr. Parent told me that he had always held a grudge because Claude rejected his accusations and contradicted him during the investigation of the cafeteria brawl. That's why we did some tricks this time to transfer Fitney to Claude's team as captain, and now we are so passive and embarrassed.
The first time, that is, the fight in the cafeteria, Claude did not write a letter to tell Mrs. Maria. He just said in the letter that he had finished the recruit training, and the next step was the non-commissioned officer training. The rest were just some greetings. . But what we didn't expect was that Baroness Maria wrote two letters in succession. The first letter stated that she accepted Claude's sister, a fifteen-year-old girl named Angelina, as her disciple, and believed that Claude's sister had a higher talent than Claude. She also wanted to bring Claude's sister to the royal capital and put her under her care, but the little girl refused because she wanted to take care of her mother and younger brother.
The content of the second letter surprised us a little. According to our investigation, this Claude assisted Baroness Maria's housekeeper in White Deer City to set up a real estate development company and reached an agreement with Viscount Venisque, the director in charge of building the naval base. , a community developed and built by their company was packaged and sold to the Admiralty, earning Baroness Maria a huge fortune. Therefore, Baroness Maria valued him very much and even discussed the future development prospects of the company with him in her second letter.
If this Claude told Baroness Maria about his experience of being injured due to retaliation during training, I think Lady Maria would definitely stand up for him. If our legion commander knew that his plan failed here and that our blue feather legion was unable to stand alone and was even arranged to stay behind or become the deputy of another legion, I believe he would eat Lieutenant Sdri alive. Go down, it's still the kind without seasoning. So, gentlemen, please think about how to deal with this matter to appease this Claude."
