"Colonel, how is Claude doing now?" asked a somewhat fat captain. He was Sergeant Chief Fitney's back-up, Captain Kantaya of the Logistics Department.
He also played a role in Lieutenant Sdri's deployment of Chief Fitney as the temporary team leader of Claude's recruit team. It's just that he didn't expect the consequences of this incident to be so serious. He had already scolded Lieutenant Sdri and Fitney half to death in his heart. Why are you killing chickens to scare monkeys? You didn’t check to see if the chickens you caught were chickens. They were clearly eagles. You didn’t even investigate clearly because the background was so thick. You were simply blind.
"After the incident, Claude was in a coma for two days and didn't wake up until the third day. Dr. Perrent said that he was seriously injured. That Fitney was cruel. If the injury was more serious, even if he was rescued, it would be difficult. He is a cripple. However, his physical condition is still very good, and the treatment after waking up is going well. Dr. Perrent estimates that it will take two or three months to fully recover. I visited him last night, and his body was bandaged like a mummy, but The spirit is pretty good”
Colonel Mentok became angry again as he spoke, and glared at Captain Kantaya fiercely: "Even if this Claude is an ordinary civilian soldier without the support of Madam Maria, then he was beaten by his little one during training. For the captain to be seriously injured like this is also a big scandal for our Blue Feathers.
Is this an accidental injury during combat training? This is clearly treating the opponent as a life and death enemy. You have not experienced a war for more than 20 years. Have you relaxed your military discipline and allowed these veterans to bully the new recruits? Are you not afraid? On the battlefield, were you shot in the back by your own people?"
Colonel Mentok said that he was thirsty for a long time, and when he went to look for a water glass, he realized that he had just used it to hit Lieutenant Sdri. But Captain Kantaya was smarter and could tell: "Please wait a moment, Colonel. I will get you a cup of tea right away."
After saying that, he turned around and ran out.
Another unfamiliar lieutenant asked: "Colonel, how is Fitney doing now?"
"Why, he has become a big joke to the legion. Here he is explaining to the recruits how to deal with the enemy's deadly counterattack on the battlefield. Over there, he received a fatal kick from Claude, but he gave the recruits a lesson. On the day of the vivid demonstration class, his screams shocked the entire military camp." Colonel Mentok had a sarcastic smile on his face: "When I went to the treatment center last night, Dr. Perrent told me that he had just given the treatment to Fitney in the afternoon. After the operation, the thing that men have is cut off.
There was no choice but to cut it. Claude kicked the thing almost into a pulp. Both eggs were broken and swollen like a round bun freshly baked in the kitchen. Unable to urinate for the past few days, Dr. Perrent had to insert a reed tube to drain out the blood, pus and urine. The pain was so painful that Fitney was dying and begging others to kill him. So Dr. Perrent had to give him anesthesia and pass him out, and cut off his lower body. If he didn't cut it, his life would be in danger."
Perhaps Colonel Mentok's words were too vivid. The lieutenant-level officers standing in the wooden house suddenly felt a bit chilly below and involuntarily tightened their legs.
Colonel Mentok hadn't noticed the change in the standing postures of these lieutenant-level officers: "Doctor Perrent told me that Fitney's life is not in danger after cutting off this thing, but he can't stand up anymore. Peed. He thought it was best to let this Fitney retire and go home, otherwise he would continue to stay in the military camp and be laughed at. In addition, losing that thing is likely to lead to mental illness. In addition, his fighting ability is very strong, maybe It will become a very unstable factor for our army.”
"I think it's better to let him retire and go home. Without that thing, can he still be considered a man? Even though he has strong hand-to-hand fighting ability, this is the age of firearms, not the medieval century where swords were used to fight. His personal fighting ability It will not improve the combat effectiveness of our entire legion. Instead, it will become a joke to the soldiers because of its lack of the following things.
Dr. Perrent is right. If he continues to stay in the military camp, he is likely to continue to take revenge on Claude and bring chaos and instability to our military camp. We can just punish him for retaliating and hurting someone in training this time and let him retire and go home. And I think this result can be used to appease that Claude. "
In this era, it is not a good thing to be discharged from the army and go home. Basically, people retire and go home because of injuries and disabilities. The queuing-to-shoot war model makes all countries care about every combat capability. Generally speaking, it is impossible for soldiers with sound hands and feet and good health to retire halfway before completing their service period. Now that you have become a soldier, if you want to violate military discipline and be expelled from the army to escape the fate of going to the battlefield and becoming cannon fodder, it can only be said that it is a beautiful thought, but it is simply impossible.
Like Fitney, who had his lower body cut off and was retired from the army. It can also be said that he was retired due to disability. What he lost was not only the symbol of manhood, but also meant that his six years in the military camp were completely wasted. He could only be a civilian for the rest of his life and could never become a citizen. Especially when he became a sergeant chief, he was only one step away from the rank of second lieutenant as a formal officer of the kingdom, and ended up being retired. For Master Chief Fitney, this was a very cruel ending.
"I think what Lieutenant Hokum said is right. Since Fitney has been cut off, he is no longer a real man. We will retire him and go home in the name of being disabled due to injury, and then Tell Claude this news to appease him. After he recovers from his injuries, we will grant him the position of chief sergeant vacated by Fitney. I believe he will be satisfied with this arrangement."
Captain Max couldn't wait to stand up and support Lieutenant Hokum's proposal. He felt that he had suffered an unreasonable disaster. I stayed well in the camp, but was assigned here to serve as the chief instructor for non-commissioned officer training. You can also serve as the chief instructor, and then return to the camp in three months. Then you can join the army as the chief officer. If you are lucky, you can become the commander of a battalion. If not, you will still have the position of deputy battalion commander. When the war breaks out and you achieve some military merit, the three green stars on your shoulder straps can be replaced by a silver crescent moon.
But who would have thought that there would be so many bad things going on in the Fulkby Hill military camp? That damn military judge, Lieutenant Sdri, actually took advantage of his unfamiliarity with this place and secretly maneuvered two soldiers with grievances together. Giving them a chance to retaliate is clearly an attempt to cause trouble without giving face to labor and management. In the end, he really had such an impactful incident. The recruit Claude had such a big background that the labor and management were also implicated by him. He was inexplicably dismissed by the superior. Just wait for me, Sdri
In any case, the Blue Feather Legion is also one of the four ace field legions of the Kingdom of Overas. No matter how tabooed Baroness Maria's influence is in front of Sterling X, they will not bow down to please her. disciple. Soldiers have their own arrogance. What they are struggling with is how to calm down this training retaliation incident, how to appease Claude, and prevent him from complaining to Baroness Maria and writing a letter to describe his experiences after joining the army.
After all, good things are hard and bad things are easy. At the critical moment when the Blue Feather Legion and other legions are fighting for control of the attack after the outbreak of the war, no one hopes that this training revenge incident will reach the ears of Baroness Maria and let her take it for herself. The disciples fought against the injustice and complained about the injustice of the Blue Feather Legion in front of His Majesty the King, which ended up ruining the good deeds of the Legion.
So comforting the injured Claude became the most important thing. Captain Max felt that what Lieutenant Hokum said was very reasonable, and he also wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible. It is not difficult to expel Fitney, who is no longer a man, from the military camp. Without the symbol of that man, he can be retired in the name of disability. Without Fitney, Claude won't have to worry about retaliation in the future. In addition, if Fitney's sergeant major rank is given to Claude, I believe he won't say anything nonsense, even if Maria After the Baroness found out about this, she could no longer accuse the Blue Feathers of being unfair.
"Yes, but this Claude is injured now. It will take two or three months to fully recover. He can no longer continue to receive sergeant training. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to serve as a sergeant? If he can't convince the crowd, that small group of soldiers They have absolutely no combat power and cannot cooperate with other teams in combat. Colonel Mentok also said just now that the war will break out in less than half a year, and their entry onto the battlefield may only cause chaos for us."
Everyone had no objection to letting Fitney retire, but some people raised questions about letting Claude serve as Master Chief. Now Claude has not even completed the non-commissioned officer training, and has only received three months of recruit training. To be precise, he is only a private, not even a corporal. Let him serve as a sergeant and become the official team leader of a small team of soldiers. The meaning of appeasement is too obvious. Which team of soldiers is willing to go to the battlefield under the leadership of such an unreliable team leader? Moreover, this team led by Claude It is really doubtful whether the team can cooperate with other teams on the battlefield, obey orders and face artillery fire.
"It's okay." Captain Max was confident: "We don't need to let Claude serve as the sergeant major of those soldier squads. Every time we recruit and expand, we will always find some newcomers who have no brains and are completely unsuitable to become soldiers. Although they have four limbs, They are in good health, but slow to react or have some mental problems. In the past, our approach was to gather them together and throw them to the logistics department or the baggage transport unit, let them do some hard work and let them fend for themselves.
This time we will pick out some of these guys who are a little bit normal. Anyway, after the war breaks out, the medical team will follow the troops to the front line to set up a battlefield treatment center. By then, we will also have to set up a security team and a stretcher team, both of which will have to be drawn from the combat troops. Transferred personnel. This time, we might as well use these guys to form a security team and a stretcher team as early as possible, and leave it to Claude. The sergeant chief he serves as is justified and will not affect our combat effectiveness. And for Baroness Maria, we have done our best to take care of his disciples."
Captain Kantaya came in from the door and respectfully brought a pot of freshly brewed black tea to Colonel Mentok. The tea was fragrant. This was obviously Captain Kantaya's private collection, and Colonel Mentok was pleased with it. As an officer in the Logistics Department, Captain Kantaya is quite good at being considerate of his superiors, appreciating his appearance and pleasing his superiors, and his service is very considerate.
Colonel Mentok took a sip of black tea, and then nodded to Captain Max standing in front of him: "The proposal you mentioned is very good, then I will leave this matter to you. At the same time, you have to Let Claude understand in a subtle way that we made such a solution to benefit him and take care of him for the sake of his pharmacy teacher, Baroness Maria.
But you forgot two key points in your proposal just now. First, four noble children who were friends with Claude were injured by that Fitney and sent to the treatment center. The onlookers are under investigation. Shi said that Claude angrily challenged Fitney because the lives of these four noble children who were close to him were threatened by Fitney.
According to our investigation, these four noble children were abandoned by their families and sent to our legion to receive non-commissioned officer training. Moreover, their families are not very famous or powerful. It can be said that they are on the verge of decline. Sending the four abandoned children here is also to gain a future for them. There are many noble children like this in various legions in the kingdom. This is not surprising.
However, this time they were injured by Fitney because of Claude's involvement. Dr. Perrent believed that it would take them a month or two to recover, so they would miss the next non-commissioned officer training. Since Claude is going to serve as a sergeant to form a security team and a stretcher team for the battlefield treatment center, then let these four nobles help him as sergeants after they recover from their injuries. I think this news will win Claude's gratitude.
One more thing, Lieutenant Hokum, go and investigate how many veterans in the military camp are friends with that Fitney, and then transfer them to other camps after you find out. I don't want to hear about any revenge related to this time in the future. "
"As you command, Colonel."
