First Union Northeast, one of Campbell's 7th Cavalry Stations, Carmen.
The news of the end of the "peacekeeping" mission reached Campbell's 7th Cavalry Regiment. In the cavalry regiment's meeting room, Colonel Pao took the information in his hand and pushed it in front of Lieutenant Colonel Dudding, who was in charge of administrative management, and said: " Duddin, the marshal has stepped down to serve as Minister of Military Reform in the newly formed cabinet."
After speaking, he glanced at Louis, who was in charge of logistics in Campbell's 7th Cavalry Regiment, and continued: "The new governor is Louis, Louis of the Bourbons.
According to the order of the Governor's Palace, all the 'peacekeeping' troops in the First Alliance returned to Campbell.
Of course, we have to know that the domestic economic situation in Campbell is not very good. They who have 'surrendered' to the Chinese do not need more troops.
The return of the Campbell 7th Cavalry to Campbell meant layoffs.
You and I may have no influence, but the brothers below are different.
Dudding, what do you think? "
Although Dudding didn't hear anything from Ba'ao's words, Louis did hear something.
Because of the first signing of the Governor's Office's order, the army responsible for the counter-insurgency in the First Alliance will be responsible for military salaries and other issues, so that the army has financial power.
The Campbell 7th Cavalry was very different from the other armies in the First League due to the presence of Duddin, the Corsican Arbiter who had flourished in Corsica.
They had a steady income, as well as plentiful loot, and the entire 7th Cavalry had a better life than other counterinsurgency units.
The order of the Governor's Palace sent the entire army back to Campbell, and these soldiers who were about to be eliminated naturally did not want to.
The same is true for Ba'ao. As the head of the cavalry regiment, although he does not care about the administration, he has also gained a lot of wealth from the towns occupied by the cavalry regiment.
Along with Datin, he was quickly promoted, especially Louis, who was in charge of the general logistics of the cavalry regiment.
The oil and water in his position is no less than that of the head of the regiment.
Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want to go back to the messy Campbell and be a local emperor in the Second League, right
Both of them turned their attention to the rising emerging, the deputy regiment of the cavalry regiment, Dating.
I saw Datin opened his mouth and said: "We are soldiers and cannot resist the request of the Governor's Office.
Your Excellency, please make a decision and return to China as soon as possible. "
Sure enough, this guy's plans were within the expectations of Bao and Louis. How can this guy say that he is quite loyal to Campbell and is quite selfless.
It's hard to hear, it's just too blunt.
Ba'ao and Dadin are in a subordinate relationship, a friendship, and a comrade-in-arms relationship.
Although Da Ding is the deputy head of the regiment, because Da Ding takes care of the government affairs in the area under his jurisdiction, in some cases, Da Ding's status will be slightly higher than that of the head of the regiment, Bao.
Ba'ao naturally couldn't harm Da Ding, and he respected Da Ding's decision. After all, the military council also had to discuss it.
Bao nodded, stood up, and said slowly: "Yes, Datin is right, we are soldiers and should obey the arrangements of the Governor's Palace.
Come on, let's go back to Campbell. "
As if nothing had happened, Baao and Louis who had stayed behind stood up from their seats, turned around and left the tent with Dudding.
However, when the three of them walked out of the camp, they saw that there were officers and soldiers of the cavalry regiment who were kneeling on one knee and praying to the three of them.
"Your Excellency the head and deputy head, please stay in the Second Alliance.
Back at Campbell, we have nothing left.
We may even be stripped of the armor of glory.
We are soldiers, and we should die for glory on the battlefield, instead of taking off our clothes, laying down our weapons, being a civilian, and dying of old age slowly.
Lord Arbiter, this is our home. "
Dudding didn't expect that these guys in the cavalry regiment actually remembered the Second Alliance very much. This...
However, the head of the regiment, Ba'ao, had a fierce look on his face: "Get out of the way, it's all up to the old paper, you are soldiers, and soldiers should obey orders!
Although the old paper also wants to stay here, the beautiful and comfortable life, we have established a stable order for the people here, we are loved like heroes, who would not want to stay here
But we are soldiers, soldiers, you know? "
In the face of Ba'ao's rebuke, the officers of the cavalry regiment suddenly weakened. The three Ba'ao climbed on their horses and walked towards the outside of the barracks. The officers in the camp made way for the three of them. Do not speak.
This makes Dudin relieved. If these soldiers don't want to go back, Dudin still thinks it is quite difficult to deal with
The officers and soldiers took pictures of this place. Although it was a little tricky, Dudding still had a way to handle it.
But when Dadin rode out of the barracks, he saw a patch of local people kneeling outside the barracks.
They were dressed plainly, but in their hands they were holding the small bunting of the cavalry regiments that many cavalry regiments had given them as a souvenir.
The children in the crowd even held flowers representing "hope" in their hands, and looked at the three of them with tears in their eyes.
And in the eyes of the people who were kneeling on the ground in darkness, what Datin saw was all retention.
Because of the effective tactics of the Corsican arbiters, they were rescued from the dire economic crisis, their wealth was no longer lost, and they were able to eat a meal.
Because of the excellent command skills of the deputy commander of the cavalry regiment, they were driven away from the rebels and the nobles who were riding on them to make a fortune, and the coverings on them were cleared.
For this young arbiter, for this young deputy head, the people are grateful.
"Stay here, soldiers of the 7th Cavalry Regiment, you are needed here."
"Stay here, without you, we will fall into the abyss of doom again."
"You brought us hope, please don't give us despair again."
"Lord Arbiter, I can't live without you here."
"Stay, soldiers of the cavalry regiment, stay, Lord Arbiter."
Da Ding was taken aback, what are these people in Carmen City doing
At this time, Louis on the side said: "Datin, I said, these guys are all people who have been blessed by the policies you issued and are grateful to you.
In a chaotic world, you brought hope to them.
They don't want you to leave them, and they don't want us to leave and the chaos sweeps over here again.
So, they want you and us to stay. "
Dudding pulled the reins and was a little shocked: "How is this possible, we are soldiers and we have to obey the arrangements of the Governor's Office, although these civilians are indeed... , but according to our policies, there should be no big problems. of."
"The Guard is Here"
Baao smiled beside him: "Datin, you kid.
They want a capable man like you to rule them, why don't you get it right? "
"crash..."
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the cavalry regiment behind them also knelt on one knee on the ground and greeted Dudding: "Lord Deputy Commander, please stay!"
"The people here need us!"
"We can play the residual heat here!"
"We don't want to go back, we don't want to be fired!"
Seeing that the officers and soldiers behind him suddenly joined the pleading ranks of the civilians, Dudding was taken aback: "You..."
Some of the civilians also shouted: "Lord Arbiter, you are not only the arbiter of Corsica, but also the arbiter of Carmen.
I am waiting for Yuan to follow you, please don't abandon us! "
Louis next to him hurriedly got off his horse, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said with a serious face: "I also ask Lord Arbiter to have mercy on our military and civilians, and don't let down the expectations of our military and civilians."
Saying that, he raised his head to look at Dudding and said, "Please, Dudding."
Bao also drove his horse to the side of Da Ding, patted Da Ding lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Look, child, this is the heart of the people and the military."
Saying that, he also got off his horse, knelt on one knee on the ground, and persuaded Jin, "Please, Lord Arbiter, don't let down the wishes of the soldiers and the people."
Dudding took a deep breath, looked at the civilians, looked at the army, and finally his eyes fell on Bao and Louis.
He understood, it turned out that all this had already been colluded.
The civilians didn't want them to leave, neither did the army, nor did Bao and Louis.
At the same time, the civilians also need him to lead.
Dudding squinted his eyes, stared at the soldiers and civilians who surrounded him, and hummed in his heart: "What is this? Is this an arbiter pushed up by public opinion and military will?"
Several military and civilian representatives who came from other towns also rushed to the city of Carmen, knelt on the ground and persuaded him to enter: "I'm waiting for the arbiter, please don't abandon me!
The hard-won happiness cannot be maintained without Lord Arbiter! "
Facing the retention of the civilians of Carmen, and the retention of military and civilian representatives from other jurisdictions, Dudding struggled for a while, thinking about Campbell, thinking about his family, thinking about Shakespeare, and thinking about quelling the rebellion in the First League. , promulgating policies to save civilians of all kinds.
Dudding sighed, rubbed his forehead and said, "Okay, I'll stay for the time being.
Once you are on the right track, I will leave and I will return to Campbell. "
Dudding's declaration immediately won the cheers of the military and civilians in the audience: "Long live, long live the arbiter!!"
Soon, with the former Campbell's 7th Cavalry Regiment, the occupied area, including Carmen and Corsica, declared the formation of a republic, a republic called Nalon.
And Dadin is also in a very high voice, was established as the life-long arbiter of the Republic.
