"Why do you have a short musket here?" After Diavid called a few soldiers to take Lieutenant Jiprek down, and then rolled the body of the unlucky Second Lieutenant Becky Milo in a blanket and dragged it away, Ke Lord then asked Captain Durrioro, who was still a little stunned.
"Oh, this short gun..." Captain Durrioro realized that he was still holding the fired short gun, and hurriedly let go and put the short gun back into the drawer: "This is what I used before I went on the expedition. A gift from my father. Although I came to the front line as the battalion commander of a local security battalion, I was only responsible for local security and maintaining public order, just like I am stationed in Squirrel Village now. There is no need to go to the front line to risk my life. But my father still gave me this blunderbuss for my protection. I usually keep it in the drawer. When Lieutenant Becky Milo pointed his blunderbuss at you just now, I lit the match... "
Captain Durrioro's eyes were still a little dazed and confused: "I swear I really only aimed at his hand, trying to knock off the short blunderbuss he was holding... But, I didn't expect that he would shoot. Hit him in the face..."
Claude could only secretly be grateful that he was not standing opposite Captain Durrioro when he fired. The distance was less than five meters. You aimed at the hand, but hit the face. This accuracy was really touching. Fortunately, I was standing opposite Lieutenant Becky Milo with Muriel. If If you stand nearby, you might be the unlucky one...
"Okay, let's put aside the issue about the accuracy of your musket shooting for now. The person has been killed anyway. What we need to consider now is how to end this matter. Are you sure that what you just said can be fooled? Claude asked, and then motioned to Muriel to pour Captain Durrioro a glass of wine to calm down his shock.
"What did I just say?" Captain Durrioro asked.
Claude understood that Captain Durrioro was still in a trance after shooting someone to death. He had almost forgotten what he said just now, and could only remind him by himself: "You said that the story of the Falcon Eagle The letter was sent to the Ministry of War, saying that Lieutenant Jiprek and Second Lieutenant Becky Milo came to us under the guise of military disciplinary inspection to extract the four prisoners who were pretending to be official officers of the Kingdom. After being rejected by us, they attempted to hold us hostage. Forcing us to release prisoners..."
Muriel put a large glass of fruit wine on the table. Captain Durrioro picked up the wine glass and drank it in a few sips. After drinking, he put the glass on the table and said to Muriel : "Thanks, please pour me another glass."
After drinking a large glass of wine, Captain Durrioro's eyes finally revealed a sparkle. He thought for a moment and said to Claude: "We have to sort this out from beginning to end. Don't let anyone Find loopholes. It mainly emphasizes that the four criminals who pretended to be official officers of the kingdom were originally on duty at the frontline headquarters, and Lieutenant Jiprek and Second Lieutenant Becky Milo had to forcibly join the army without any orders or formal procedures. We took prisoners here, so we refused because we suspected that they had connections with these four prisoners.
What we need to note here is that we require them to provide authorization documents from the Kingdom’s Ministry of War and an order to transfer prisoners. As long as the procedures are complete, we will hand over the prisoners to them. However, they could not produce any formal documents. Instead, they made excuses, thinking that they were staff officers and executive officers of the Military Law Department of the frontline headquarters and did not need these documents and orders. But we believe that the armistice peace agreement has been signed and the war has ended. The current frontline command does not have all the wartime powers and should obey the instructions of the Kingdom’s Ministry of War, so we rejected their request... "
Claude slapped his thigh and understood. Captain Durrioro was diverting the blame for today's incident from the shocking news of killing an executive officer of the Military Justice Department to the frontline command and the Royal Army. The power struggle in the Ministry of War made the senior officials of the Army Ministry feel that they had done the right thing. The war was over. Why is it that your frontline command headquarters still controls nearly one million troops? Do you still want to start another war? I don’t know whether it is external or internal? This will arouse the sensitive nerves of the kingdom's senior officials, especially when the eldest prince has a willful attack and stays behind closed doors and the frontline headquarters is leaderless...
Sometimes Claude has to admire the scheming of these nobles. Whether they are established nobles or these business nobles, intrigues and cunning have become their instinct in life. To be honest, after Captain Durioro shot and killed Second Lieutenant Becky Milo, Claude was also thinking about it. After all, he was the executive officer of the frontline military law department. He was killed with just one shot. How big of a fuss would this cause? turmoil.
After drinking a glass of wine, Captain Durrioro calmed down and began to think of ways to sort out the whole incident. According to his statement, not only did he have no fault, but he also had merit. Because he disregarded his personal safety and prevented some people in the frontline command from plotting to rob four prisoners, and maintained the highest rights and prestige of the Kingdom's Army Department over all the Kingdom's army forces...
"Yes," Captain Durrioro picked up the second glass of wine that Murray Ed poured for him: "Just because we refused their request, they became angry and drew their guns with the intention of holding us hostage and forcing us to release the man. Four prisoners. Unwilling to be coerced by them, we fought back. During the fight, Second Lieutenant Becky Milo fired his weapon. Because we were fighting with each other at the time, we grabbed his hand holding the musket and raised it, and he shot him. He hit himself in the face and fell to the ground and died on the spot..."
Well, this time he even completely shied away the responsibility for shooting and killing Second Lieutenant Becky Milo. Poor Second Lieutenant Becky Milo committed suicide like this. It is not uncommon for a short gun to go off during a fight, but who told him to take out the short gun and light it on fire to threaten others? Therefore, his death should be caused by himself and cannot be blamed on others.
Captain Durrioro's adjutant, Sergeant Siegfried, came in with a bucket of water and a mop, and wiped the blood stains left on the floor after the death of Second Lieutenant Becky Milo.
Claude watched the blood stains on the floor being wiped away. He reached out and picked up the bottle with only half a bottle of wine left. He poured it all into his mouth, put down the bottle and gasped. : "This is a very good statement, very appropriate, but don't forget that there is Lieutenant Jiprek. He also has a mouth and hands. How should we deal with him as a living person?"
Murray Ed volunteered next to him: "Sir, it's okay. Let Dede and I take care of this matter. I'll take care that he will leave us a suitable confession..."
Claude was a little hesitant, but Captain Durrioro nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. You are also a party involved. If Brother Claude and I are unlucky, you won't be able to escape. .Besides, you have already punched Lieutenant Jiprek. If he is freed, you will definitely suffer his revenge. I believe this. Sergeant Siegfried, please notify the signal corps to come over. I need to upload a message immediately. Seal letter to War Department.”
Murield and Diavid have always been interested in dealing with noble officers like Lieutenant Jiprek. This is due to the experience the four of them had when they were gangsters in the royal capital before joining the army. Although they are all children of aristocrats, they who are not valued by their families basically live like common people. Sometimes they will inevitably be pressed to the ground and rubbed by those noble children of noble status. At that time, they can only endure the humiliation, and even Dare you tell your family...
Claude could only gather the two of them together in private, and temporarily taught them tricks such as covering their faces with wet wipes, hammering them through books, and applying honey to their soles for goats to lick. This was because he was worried that the two of them would be clumsy in that Jeep. The obvious trauma left on Lieutenant Ke's body aroused doubts. Murield and Diavid were astonished by Claude for a moment, and excitedly ran to Lieutenant Jiprek to experiment with the tricks Claude had taught him.
The falcon Captain Durrioro sent to the Army Department of the Royal Capital was not issued by the Army Department, but a private messenger eagle cultivated by his family. Even his signal soldier came from the family to serve him on both ends. Falcon, this is also to strengthen the connection and communication between their business nobles. Otherwise, the harriers obtained by the first ranger battalion will all fly to the frontline headquarters.
From Squirrel Village to the Royal Capital, Captain Durrioro said it would take about a day and a night. If it is the messenger eagle sent from above, it will only take three hours to reach the frontline headquarters. So Captain Durrioro decided to wait a day before notifying the frontline command of what happened here, preferably after getting Lieutenant Jiprek's confession. This would not only appear to be magnanimous and selfless on one's side, but also buy time to get a formal reply from the Kingdom's Ministry of War.
Claude calculated that according to the normal travel itinerary, it would take two or three days for Mike and Big Germi to arrive at the royal capital. They would give the letter he wrote to Lady Marya and then ask her to hand it over to the eldest prince. I don’t know if any unexpected situation will happen, delaying the trip or something. Therefore, neither Captain Durrioro nor Claude pinned their hopes on the reappearance of the eldest prince for the resolution of this incident. They did not even know whether the letter written by Claude could make the eldest prince realize the reality. , came out to clean up the bad situation on the front line...
It only took Murray Ed and Diavid one night to get Lieutenant Jiprek to confess and write a satisfactory confession. The facts were almost as expected by Claude. He and Second Lieutenant Becky Milo brought a small team of military police over, just to take away the four captured unlucky guys and release them secretly, so that this matter would no longer become a problem. The handle of those noble officers. But what they didn't expect was that what they thought was a simple thing to accomplish would turn out to have such a big change. Second Lieutenant Becky Milo was shot to death and he became a prisoner.
However, after Captain Durioro read the confession, he asked Murieled and Diavide to work hard again and write another one for Lieutenant Jiprek to sign. He needs to admit in this confession that he and Second Lieutenant Becky Milo are in the same group with the four criminals who pretend to be official officers of the kingdom. This time they come here to rescue the four people. There is no need to identify the names of the noble officers who conspired at the frontline headquarters...
Soon, the new confession was completed, and Lieutenant Jiprek confessed the facts and experiences of how he and Lieutenant Becky Milo came to rescue the four unfortunate ghosts. When they were asked whether they had any other accomplices at the frontline headquarters, Lieutenant Jiprek suddenly bit his tongue and committed suicide, making it impossible to let everyone know whether they had any other accomplices at the frontline headquarters. This was a very regrettable thing...
Captain Durrioro said that he would send this confession to the Army Department of the Royal Capital using the same method of falcon transmission. He only hoped to get a secret letter from the Army Department as soon as possible so that they could refuse to obey the frontline command. Reasonable orders…
At this time, a day and a night had passed since the death of Lieutenant Becky Milo, and Lieutenant Jiprek, who had bitten his tongue and committed suicide, had just breathed his last. Sergeant Siegfried washed the two bare feet of Lieutenant Jiprek, who had been laughing pitifully all night, with clean water, put socks and military boots on him again, and then held the other end and licked honey all night The goat left the basement where the body was kept.
Captain Durrioro then reported the deaths of Lieutenant Giprik and Second Lieutenant Becky Milo to the frontline headquarters in the name of himself and Claude using a hawk eagle message, and at the same time asked the signal corps to copy several copies. The announcement was sent to several nearby garrisoned legions and troops by carrier pigeon communication, telling his associates of the business aristocracy to spread the word among civilian officers. The more people who know about it, the better...
Sure enough, the deaths of Lieutenant Jiprek and Second Lieutenant Becky Milo caused a wave of publicity among the frontline headquarters and local garrisons. When the aristocratic officers at the frontline headquarters heard about the report, they thought someone was drunk and making a joke. When they confirmed that the incident was true, they became furious. After a chaotic discussion, it was announced that Captain Durrioro's local security battalion and Claude's 1st Ranger Battalion 1st Battalion stationed in Squirrel Village were rebels and that they would send troops to attack them.
It was only at this moment that the noble officers at the frontline headquarters discovered that they had no power to dispatch troops. Whether it is a garrison, a local security battalion or a garrison, they cannot mobilize it unless there is a personal order from the supreme commander or an authorization document from the Kingdom's Ministry of War instructing a combat unit to perform a task. They had neither. Even the top brass of the legion who belonged to their aristocratic officer group did not dare to order a certain unit to attack Squirrel Village without authorization.
This is not an issue decided by the aristocratic officers at the frontline headquarters, but a major matter involving who is rebellious and has a bearing on wealth and life. Using weapons to attack fellow troops without permission can easily be considered an act of rebellion. What's more, without obtaining the warrant from the Grand Prince and the authorization document from the Ministry of War, the civilian officers in the army could refuse to carry out the order of the army's top brass to attack Squirrel Village, and they could even criticize the army's top brass for having evil intentions. intention…
