As the war in Karur becomes increasingly tense, Burape, which is only more than a hundred kilometers away from Karur, is a huge frontline material transfer station. The logistics headquarters of the entire Iron Horn Army is located here.
On the ninth day after recovering from the illness, Zhang Tie left the hospital after staying in the hospital for more than a week. At this time, it had been a month and a half since he left Black Flame City. In just this month and a half, Zhang Tie has lived two lives.
When he left the hospital, Zhang Tie had nothing to wear. If Reinhardt and the others hadn't brought Zhang Tie's luggage bag with them when they came to visit Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie might have been completely naked after taking off his hospital gown. No clothes could be found.
Because he had not yet reported his duties, Zhang Tie was still wearing a dark red military uniform with the rank of second lieutenant when he left the hospital. Zhang Tie, who had just recovered from a serious injury, looked slightly pale and bloodless, and he seemed to be thin. A few days ago, Zhang Tie's hair was shaved for the convenience of treatment when he was hospitalized. In the past two days, a small green stubble has grown slightly. If he hadn't been wearing this military uniform, Zhang Tie would have looked like a A malnourished green boy.
Touching his bald head, Zhang Tie smiled bitterly, then thought of something, and his mood suddenly became gloomy again.
After Zhang Tie stood alone at the entrance of the hospital for a long time, he stopped a traffic carriage.
"Sir, where are you going?" The driver on the carriage looked at young Zhang Tie with some curiosity. Zhang Tie's age and the military uniform he was wearing really didn't match.
"Do you know the logistics headquarters of the Iron Horn Legion here?" Zhang Tie threw up the luggage in his hand. The luggage weighing more than ten kilograms used to be like a hair in his hand, but now Zhang Tie holds it in his hand. It was only a short walk from the hospital ward to the outside. I can already feel its heavy weight. Zhang Tie felt that his body at this moment was weaker than that of an ordinary fifteen-year-old boy.
"I know! It's at the former parliament building in Brape!" The coachman shook the reins, and the horses pulling the carriage were already trotting on the road.
Half of the entire carriage was open. Zhang Tie sat in the carriage and looked at the city curiously.
Although there is a war going on more than 100 kilometers away from Brape, this city does not seem tense at all. There is a sense of leisure everywhere in this city, except for those imperial soldiers in military uniforms. Except for soldiers, ordinary people on the streets of this city walk at a leisurely pace. What impressed Zhang Tie the most was the beerhouses on both sides of the street. When walking on the road, every few dozen meters, you can see the signboard of a beerhouse hanging on the roadside. Although the war has reduced the business of these beer halls, you can still see people sitting in them in broad daylight.
Because it is located in a plain, there are no powerful monsters around the city. Burape, which is sandwiched between several cities, is a city without walls. This city also has no army. When the Iron Horn Legion came to this city, , after Brape’s parliament raised the blue and green flag for the first time. Immediately, the dissolution was announced, and the city's only security team was also announced together with the city council. Then the members of the council and the members of the security team went back to their homes. Everyone is looking for their own mother, and they are still doing what they should do, so much so that after the Iron Horn Legion occupied this place, they couldn't even find a person in charge.
People living in this city seem to only do two things in their lives. Farming and drinking beer. Even if the Iron Horn Legion comes, their rhythm remains unchanged. The war between the Norman Empire and the Sun Dynasty. It felt like it had nothing to do with them, like it was happening on another planet.
When he was in Black Flame City before, Zhang Tie heard that there was such a strange franchise city in the Andaman League. This time he only walked around the streets of this city for a short time, and Zhang Tie knew that there was something about Bra in the past. Pei’s legend is not an exaggeration at all.
The driver pulling the cart took out a wine bottle and drank a lot of beer while driving the cart. Zhang Tie, who was sitting behind the cart, could smell the aroma of wheat in the beer.
"Sir, would you like to take a sip? This beer was brewed by my mother-in-law!" The coachman enthusiastically handed over the wine bottle.
Zhang Tie originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of Ferreo. Wine, cigars, and women were the favorites of the bald man like an iron tower in his life. Zhang Tie felt a faint pain in his heart...
Zhang Tie took the wine bottle and drank it without hesitation. A smile appeared on the coachman's face.
When the carriage arrived at the former parliament building in Brape, Zhang Tie already smelled of beer. The fare for the carriage was only twenty copper coins, but because Zhang Tie praised the delicious beer brewed by the coachman and his wife, the proud carriage driver did not accept Zhang Tie's fare at first. After Zhang Tie took out a silver coin and said it was the fare for the drink, Then he happily drove the carriage away.
In Brape, praising someone for the delicious beer brewed at home and being willing to pay for someone's home-brewed beer is the greatest compliment to a person.
Except for some wealthy people's castles scattered throughout the city, there seems to be no very tall buildings in Brape. All buildings are below ten floors. The so-called Parliament Building in Brape, that is, Standing in front of a six-story house, Zhang Tie looked at the building and felt that the unique dome in the middle of the top of the house looked like a huge beer barrel.
Compared with the laziness of pedestrians on the street, as the location of the Iron Horn Legion's logistics headquarters, at the door of the Parliament Building, the figures in dark red military uniforms and the military vehicles driving in and out seemed to be more relaxed. People felt a hint of the tension of war.
Zhang Tie carried a piece of luggage, took out his former military officer ID card, and entered the building through the guard. A small second lieutenant looked very inconspicuous in the logistics headquarters of the Iron Horn Corps. Few of the soldiers coming and going would take a second look at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie asked a soldier in the building to find out the location of the Personnel Department of the Logistics Headquarters, and then came to the Office of the Personnel Department on the third floor of the building.
The door of the Personnel Department Office of the Tiejiao Legion Logistics Headquarters was open and the people inside were working, so Zhang Tie walked in directly.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
As soon as Zhang Tie walked in, a female officer in her twenties with the rank of second lieutenant came over. Ask Zhang Tie.
"I'm here to report to the Logistics Department. This is my ID!" Zhang Tie handed over his military officer ID.
The female officer took the certificate and glanced at it with a slightly surprised look on her face, "Are you the officer who was transferred from the Iron Blood Battalion of the 39th Division?"
"If no one else wants to be transferred here, I guess I should be the one!"
"Well, you sit on the sofa and wait for a while. Your personnel file has been here a few days ago. I'll go and report it. Colonel Stuka has told you that if you come to report, he wants to see you!"
"OK!"
The second lieutenant female officer turned around and left. Zhang Tie's eyes couldn't help but fall on her buttocks, watching the female officer's tight and perky buttocks twisting rhythmically under the knee-length dark red officer skirt. The heartbeat accelerated slightly.
After tasting the taste of women, Zhang Tie has not tasted the taste of meat for more than a month. Now that his body has just recovered a little, the man's instinctive reaction made Zhang Tie start to pay attention to the women around him. But thinking about his current physical condition, Zhang Tie could only smile bitterly, Tang De said, as a man. Unless he is dead, conquering women is a man's life's work.
Zhang Tie also discovered changes in himself. Before becoming a man and after becoming a man, his focus on women was obviously different. Even if I'm facing the same woman, my feelings seem to be much bigger than before. Zhang Tie didn't know if every man would go through this process when he matured, but in the past two days, Zhang Tie would indeed often think of the chaotic days in Black Flame City and the madness with Pandora the night before leaving.
in the next half hour. Zhang Tie completed all the formalities for resigning here and met with Colonel Stuka, who is in charge of personnel at the Iron Horn Legion Logistics Headquarters. Colonel Stuka, who was almost sixty years old, had a very gentle attitude towards Zhang Tie. After chatting with Zhang Tie for a while, he said frankly that he already knew about Zhang Tie's deeds in the Iron Blood Camp and he was very impressed by Zhang Tie's bravery and achievements. No matter what Zhang Tie's health is now, the entire Iron Horn Legion and the Norman Empire will not allow an imperial officer who has won the Iron Blood Medal to suffer the slightest injustice in the legion.
At the end of the conversation, Colonel Stuka even told Zhang Tie that the General Logistics Department of the Legion did have several positions suitable for Zhang Tie's identity, and he could let Zhang Tie choose the one he liked.
Zhang Tie knew that this must be a special treatment given to him by Colonel Stuka for the sake of General Schwartz, the commander of the 7th Corps and the Iron Blood Battalion of the entire legion. Faced with such preferential treatment, he had better know his own worth. Don't get carried away.
"Colonel, I don't have any opinions or requirements regarding the specific work arrangements. I know that General Schwartz transferred me to the Legion Logistics Department to take care of me, but my current physical condition and my ability really cannot take on too much responsibility. It's an important position. If possible, I would like to ask you to arrange a position for me that is a bit more relaxed, where I don't have much to do, and where I am less likely to make mistakes. No matter what I do or what the treatment is, I have no objection!"
Zhang Tie's indifference and humility made Colonel Stuka's favor for him increase a lot. Generally speaking, people who retired from the Iron Blood Battalion due to battle injuries would not have a very good temper. The Iron Blood who killed many people on the battlefield The officers of the battalion are even more unruly. It is not the first time for Colonel Stuka to deal with the officers of the Iron Blood Battalion of the Legion. However, there are not many young officers like Zhang Tie who can make people feel comfortable when communicating. The Logistics Department is the most lucrative department, and many retired officers are trying their best to dig into the places with the most oil, water, and power. Zhang Tie's non-competitive mentality is very appreciated by Colonel Stuka.
Don’t let honest people suffer! Colonel Stuka said to himself in his mind.
So, after thinking for a few seconds, Colonel Stuka arranged a position for Zhang Tie. The specific name of this position is - Chief of the Ninth Equipment Section of the Comprehensive Logistics Support Division of the Iron Horn Legion Logistics Department...
