Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 158: Iron-blooded Second Lieutenant

Views:

In the next ten minutes, the staff officer left behind by Colonel Leibniz took Zhang Tie in a small circle among several offices in the headquarters of the 39th Division, and asked Zhang Tie to fill out several forms. Everyone in the entire headquarters knew that Colonel Leibniz had recruited a recruit today, a recruit who was born and raised in Black Flame City, a lucky man who suffered from acquired lightning strike syndrome after being struck by lightning at the age of 15.

Black Flame City is now the territory of the Norman Empire. Zhang Tie is already a citizen of the Norman Empire and has reached the age of fifteen. According to the laws and traditions of the Norman Empire, Colonel Leibniz certainly has the right to recruit him into the army. Moreover, in the entire Norman Empire, once a person who has cultivated iron-blooded dark power joins the army, the minimum salary is that of a second lieutenant. Therefore, the first recruit recruited by the Thirty-ninth Division in Black Flame City, the fifteen-year-old Zhang Tie, suddenly Zi has become the youngest second lieutenant in the entire 39th Division.

This incident became a hot topic during lunch among the officers of the entire Thirty-ninth Division Headquarters. Zhang Tie's previous rescue of a Norman Empire soldier was already known to everyone. Based on this incident , many people have some favorable impressions of Zhang Tie.

And anyone who knows Colonel Leibniz’s temper and character has guessed that this little guy Zhang Tie is now the most interesting “toy” in Colonel Leibniz’s hands. This “toy” can give Leibniz The colonel brought some interesting stories and topics. Such interesting stories and topics would make Colonel Leibniz an interesting and topical person in the hearts of lonely ladies at cocktail parties and salons in Nottingburg. He said Maybe it will lead to a few interesting evenings for Colonel Leibniz, it's as simple as that.

After going through some formalities at the headquarters, Leibniz's staff officer, Second Lieutenant Vesey, drove a car and parked at the entrance of the headquarters. Let Zhang Tie sit on it.

"Where are we going now?" Zhang Tie asked.

"Go to the Logistics Department first, and then I will take you to the Iron Blood Camp to report..." Staff Officer Weixi replied.

So Zhang Tie got on the open-top military off-road vehicle again, and the off-road vehicle immediately drove out of the division headquarters.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the headquarters, the sharp-eyed Zhang Tie discovered that he saw several familiar faces at the gate of the headquarters.

"Stop!" Zhang Tie shouted quickly.

There was a "squeak..." sound. Staff Officer Vesey stepped on the brakes.

"Sorry, I just saw a few friends and my elder brother. They may be worried about me. They are still waiting outside the headquarters. I will go say hello to them and then come back!" This paragraph at the headquarters time. Zhang Tie already knew that Salvi, whom he once rescued, was a soldier of the Norman Empire and a scout. After knowing that he was captured, Salvi has been running for him.

As Zhang Tie said that, he had already run over. Salvi and Zhang Yang were squatting under a tree on a flower stand next to the headquarters gate, seemingly waiting for Zhang Tie to be released. Of course, a place like the headquarters is not something that a few big soldiers and ordinary people can enter at will. Even if they know that Zhang Tie is inside now, they can only wait outside. For a few people, as long as they know that Zhang Tie is inside, they can only wait outside. Just be fine.

Several people were chatting under the tree, and they seemed not to have expected Zhang Tie to run over so suddenly.

"Brother..." Zhang Tie shouted as he ran over.

Zhang Yang turned his head. Seeing Zhang Tie running over, Zhang Yang quickly stood up, went over and took Zhang Tie's hand, with excitement and concern on his face, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, what can happen to me!" Zhang Tie smiled and patted his elder brother's hand as a comfort.

Zhang Yang's heart finally fell back into his stomach at this moment. Salvi had already limped over, following Salvi. It was Miller, Harley, and two other guys who had met once before.

After letting go of his brother's hand, Zhang Tie rushed up and gave Salvi a hug. The two let go, and Zhang Tie punched Salvi on the chest. "I was deceived by you back then."

Salvi chuckled, "If I had been wearing this uniform at that time, would you have saved me?"

"Save, of course. I've done a great job by knocking you out and taking you to the Wild Wolf Castle..." Zhang Tie burst out laughing, and then met Miller and Harley with a few people who had a close relationship with each other. After saying hello, Zhang Tie thought these guys were weird at first, but he didn't expect that these guys turned out to be scouts from the Norman Empire, coming to clear the way for the army.

In just one month, Black Flame City was turned upside down, and everyone became citizens of the Norman Empire. The small grudge that existed before no longer existed at this time, not to mention that Zhang Tie and Salvi had a life-long friendship. .

Seeing Zhang Tie so cheerful, everyone around him laughed, and everyone felt that the morning's hard work was not in vain.

"Let's go home first. Your parents will be very happy to know that you are fine..." Zhang Tie's brother said excitedly. "Everyone go back together. I'll buy two bottles of good wine. Let's have a good drink tonight!"

"Brother, you go back first and tell your parents that I'm fine. Don't let them worry. I may have to wait a little longer before I can go back!"

"Why, is there anything else?" Zhang Yang was stunned.

"You will know when I come back..."

Staff Officer Weixi over there had already honked the horn twice, so Zhang Tie stopped talking, said hello to the people over there, ran over and jumped on the off-road vehicle, and the vehicle drove away.

Seeing that his brother was kidnapped by the Norman Empire yesterday, and was swaggering through the city of Black Flame in a Norman Empire military vehicle today, Zhang Yang felt as if he didn't recognize Zhang Tie, and he froze in place for a long time...

"You're probably going to be lucky, brother!" Miller laughed...

Zhang Tie is indeed going to have good luck.

Staff Officer Weixi drove Zhang Tie directly to the logistics base of the Thirty-ninth Division. This base was originally a camp for the Black Flame City defense army, but now it has also been requisitioned.

In this logistics base, people wearing Norman Empire military uniforms are coming and going everywhere. Compared with the headquarters, there are more people here and they are more noisy. In the open space of the camp, there are dark green boxes with the Iron Horn Legion's logo everywhere. Boxes of various sizes were piled up in different categories, and many supplies were covered with tarpaulins.

Staff Officer Weixi directly led Zhang Tie to an office in the camp with a sign of Equipment Department, and handed something from his briefcase to an officer wearing glasses in the office. The officer looked at Weixi The staff officer handed over something and he immediately stood up from behind the table.

"plz follow me… "

Then the officer led Zhang Tie and Staff Officer Weixi to a warehouse on the other side of the camp. Supplies and boxes are also piled up in the warehouse.

"Calvin..." the officer called. A short, fat guy with a greasy face ran out from behind a pile of boxes.

The officer who brought Zhang Tie and the others pointed at Zhang Tie, "Iron Blood Battalion, second lieutenant, a person assigned by Colonel Leibniz personally, give him a complete outfit..."

The short, fat guy with a greasy face only glanced at Zhang Tie. He was slightly surprised, and then he reported a series of numbers, "Height 178cm, weight 71 to 73 kilograms, well-proportioned body shape, slightly larger head circumference. Number 61, shoe size 40, wait a moment..."

Zhang Tie was a little stunned. What kind of eyes were these? It could produce all kinds of data just by looking at people. It was so powerful.

Only two minutes later, the guy named Calvin walked over with two very heavy military backpacks and several boxes. After putting these things on a table, Calvin disappeared for another two minutes, then moved in several large and small boxes and boxes, and then began to introduce them.

"Now we can only get all the summer clothes, regular clothes and training uniforms, including belts and gloves, the same three sets, and the other five sets of socks, underwear and shirts. The second lieutenant has a pair of boots. A pair of leather boots, and three more A pair of high-top training combat shoes and other daily necessities are standard. Here is a list. This year's winter clothes will be issued in October. The second lieutenant's lieutenant uniform is currently out of stock. It will take a few days to wait until it is available. It will be shipped next month. The daily necessities are distributed together. This package contains the second lieutenant's epaulettes, collar flowers, cap badges and Iron-Blooded Battalion breastplates. This box contains the lieutenant-level B-type light defensive armor that the empire has just equipped its troops with... "Calvin is here. The items in the backpacks and large and small boxes were announced like menus.

Is this the configuration of lieutenants in the Norman Empire? Zhang Tie was a little stunned after hearing this. He finally understood why it cost money to raise an army. How much would it cost to buy just these things? Moreover, Zhang Tie discovered that the treatment of second lieutenants in the Norman Empire, at least in terms of living materials, was much higher than that of second lieutenants in the Black Flame City Guards. They had all kinds of uniforms, formal clothes, and training uniforms. There are more than three sets, and there are actually boots. It can be seen that the status of soldiers in the Norman Empire seems to be very high. It is not comparable to the soldiers of the Andaman Alliance. Compared with these soldiers of the Norman Empire, the Andaman Empire Alliance soldiers are more like a group of bodyguards and guardians for wealthy people.

"We will arrive at the Iron-Blooded Camp in a while. You should try changing into a set of regular clothes from the inside out..." Staff Officer Weixi suggested.

"right here?"

"right here!"

"Can I take a shower now? You know I just came out of prison yesterday, and that place was not very clean!" Zhang Tie smiled sheepishly.

Captain Vesey said nothing, but only glanced at the officer in the logistics department with a questioning look.

"Calvin, take him to take a bath..."

The guy named Calvin took Zhang Tie to the bathhouse in this camp, so Zhang Tie took a quick bath in the bathhouse. The clothes Zhang Tie was wearing were from the trial. I haven't washed them for three days. I spent the night in the "club" on the third floor of the dark cell last night. In addition to being dirty, there seemed to be a bunch of fleas in the clothes. Not only was it uncomfortable to wear, but it also carried the stains from the dark cell. Unfortunately, Zhang Tie didn't want to bring this thing home again.

So Zhang Tie simply refused to do anything and threw all the clothes he wore, from head to toe, including the socks with two holes in them and the worn-out shoes, into the bathhouse. in the trash can. Then he put on a 100% brand-new outfit of a Norman Empire soldier—from socks, to underwear, to vest, shirt, uniform, and boots, everything was put on new.
