Around nine o'clock that evening, the Blackwater Legion was stationed in Bana City.
Several military vehicles stopped in the compound of the base. The adjutant held Boang, lifted him out of the vehicle, and gently placed him on a wheelchair.
At this time, Bagman, the chief of staff of the Blackwater Corps, walked over and whispered in his ear: "Sir Boan, Mr. Richard has been waiting for you for a long time."
Boang thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "I'll be gone for now. Let's notify everyone and have an internal meeting first."
"Okay." Bagman nodded and began to prepare for the internal meeting.
…
An hour later, in the Blackwater Corps' meeting room, more than a dozen officers lined up in their seats, waiting for Boang's arrival.
Those present were all officers above the rank of regimental commander, and were the backbone of the Blackwater Corps.
Because the Blackwater Corps has always been on the elite route, its organization is somewhat different from that of a regular army, with only three troop levels: battalion, regiment, and corps.
A regiment in the army has more than 5,000 people. A regiment commander here is equivalent to a brigade commander in a regular army and is an absolute high-level core.
Among them were Chief of Staff Bagman, Commander of the Black Bear Regiment Gilman, Commander of the Grizzly Regiment Copson, Commander of the White Bear Regiment Horus, Commander of the Brown Bear Regiment Pruss, and Commander of the Flying Bear Regiment of the Airborne Forces Og and others.
Most of the generals here were the former legion commanders, and were also left behind by Boang’s brother, Tagu Bernardo.
These generals had a profound influence in the Blackwater Legion. After Tagu's death, they needed a new leader to reorganize the Blackwater Legion.
Although Boang was physically weak, he had Bernardo's blood flowing in his body, so they were convinced. Similarly, although he was young, he was diligent, smart, and had Bruna's help, so he quickly took the top seat.
After Boang came to power, he also showed some of his skills. At the same time, he began to expand the army on a large scale, from less than 20,000 people at the beginning to about 35,000 people.
Of course, all this was established with the tacit approval of Bruna, the chief of Bana City, and the support of Su Tianyu. Therefore, the current Blackwater Army is still as united and full of fighting power as when Tagu was alive.
Five minutes later, the door of the conference room was pushed open and an adjutant pushed Boang in.
“Bang!”
All the officers present stood up, straightened their legs, and saluted Boang: "Your Excellency, Commander!"
"Yeah." Boang was pushed to the main seat. He glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Sit down."
"brush!"
Everyone then sat back down and waited for Boang to speak.
After a long silence, Boang finally spoke slowly: "You are all the people I trust the most. I want to hear your thoughts."
Everyone exchanged glances. After a while, Copson, the leader of the Grizzlies, spoke first and said clearly, "Dear Commander, I personally feel that our new alliance treaty has been accepted by Dragon City, and we have reached a consensus on the relationship between the two sides. I have to say that our original goal has been achieved. Moreover, Bai Hongbo's return can influence the attitude of General Bruna. In this case, we should stop..."
Copson said with a look of awe in his eyes, "In order to prevent Bana City from splitting again, I think the subsequent plans can be cancelled. At the same time, we should immediately cut off contact with other forces to avoid unnecessary conflicts."
When Boang heard this, he said nothing.
Then, Chief of General Staff Bagman stood up and said in a steady voice: "I have a different opinion on this matter! We have an old saying here that the river in Bana City never stops flowing. Please think about it. Our current situation is actually very dangerous. We have no choice but to keep going!"
Boang turned his head to look at Bagman and said softly, "Go on."
Bagman nodded and continued, "For now, every corner of Bana City is under a microscope. Any unusual movements of the Blackwater Army cannot be hidden from the intelligence agencies of Dragon City, not to mention other stronger external forces. Bai Hongbo's return this time is to send a signal—he wants to stabilize us! I think our original intention has been exposed during the fight under the table, which has made us lose all our retreat routes."
Copson opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Bagman immediately interrupted him and said loudly: "My colleagues, my brothers, give up your childish ideas! All our previous actions have threatened Bruna's rule! It has threatened the military security of the Dragon City team. The cracks have appeared, and this account will be settled sooner or later! Think about it carefully. If we choose to be quiet now, then sooner or later, the butcher's knife will fall on our heads!"
Hearing this, everyone was touched and started discussing in low voices.
Boang looked at everyone with a stern face, and his heart was extremely entangled. He knew very well that the speeches of the two factions just now were the situation he was facing now, which made him feel torn.
Boang put his hands in deep thought, and was a little undecided for a while. Bai Hongbo's early return disrupted all his plans.
An hour and a half later, the meeting ended and everyone dispersed.
Boang sat at the table and called out, "Gilman, please stay a moment."
"Yes!" Gilman, leader of the Black Bear Regiment, nodded and sat back in his chair.
The other officers left the meeting room one by one, and soon, they were the only two left in the room.
Boang stared at Gilman and said sincerely: "My Captain Gilman, the Black Bear Regiment you lead has always been the totem force of the Black Water Legion... Perhaps, I need your help."
Gilman knelt on one knee without hesitation, folded his arms across his chest, and said solemnly: "All the soldiers of the Black Bear Regiment have sworn an oath on the banks of the beautiful Banacheng River to be loyal to our nation, our hometown, and our leader until death! At any time, my Black Bear Regiment and I will always be the sharp blades in your hands!"
Boang was very pleased and asked, "If I want to attract external forces to enter Bana City... who do you think would be more suitable to be sent to handle this matter?"
Gilman was stunned for a moment, then he said loudly, "I am willing to carry out this mission."
Boang nodded slowly: "Okay, go ahead. Be prepared. I will give orders at the critical moment."
"Yes, my Lord, the Commander of the Legion!"
Gilman then left the meeting room.
Boang sat inside alone, with his hands folded, lost in thought.
…
Meanwhile, in Bernardo's castle.
Bai Hongbo held his two children in his arms, with Bruna sitting beside him, and spent the night with his family. Since he came back, the two children have been sticking to their father.
The children had no idea about the danger their father had encountered. They only knew that their father had gone out to work and had been away for a long time.
The family is happy and it’s very warm.
On the sofa, the eldest son sat on Bai Hongbo's lap and asked in a baby voice, "Dad, can we sleep together tonight?"
"I know you miss me, and I miss you too." Bai Hongbo reached out and scratched his baby son's nose: "But tonight, I want to sleep with your mother."
The younger daughter was still young and didn't understand anything. She bit her finger in a cute way. The older son pouted in dissatisfaction: "Well, after all, you are legal."
Both of them were amused. Bai Hongbo pinched his son's tender face and said, "Okay, little brat, go back to bed. It's already late."
"Okay, Daddy will hold you!"
"Let's go!"
Bai Hongbo held one in each hand and personally carried the two children back to the bedroom and handed them over to the care of the nanny.
Kneeling in front of the window, Bai Hongbo kissed each of the two children on the face: "Good night, my babies."
"Good night, Dad!"
"Good night!"
The two children, covered with quilts, said goodbye to their father.
After saying goodbye to the children, Bai Hongbo returned to his bedroom. As soon as he closed the bedroom door, Bruna rushed to Dabai with passion and kissed him crazily!
Smelling the familiar fragrance and hugging the soft body, Bai Hongbo was also a little intoxicated.
The two of them ate for a long time, and Bai Hongbo said breathlessly: "Oh, dear, stop for a moment, sorry... My injury is not healed yet, I may not be able to work tonight..."
