Chapter 7: Integrity and Speculation
When Sean woke up, he was in his own room in the convent.
It is said that he disappeared for a day and a night, and last night someone found himself drunk at the door of the monastery. Gary and others believe that Sean deliberately put aside his robe that night and went out to fool around alone.
Sean couldn't explain that he had indeed met a female goblin.
Later, I seemed to be taken away by her, and nothing happened to Xiangyan, but the ghost door was closed, and I vaguely heard something very important, but I still couldn't remember what happened later, and why I let myself go again, Sean didn't know.
On the day Sean woke up, the bass boss sent two famous horses over.
He also kindly asked the servants who had come to take care of the two noble horses.
As a businessman, speculation is instinctive. Bess racked his brains, wanting to bribe but fearing unexpected negative consequences, the incoming commander of the 21st Infantry Division would not just accept bribes from businessmen.
As for how to get the horse out, that's Sean's business. Sean had no intention of staying in the army, but he was eager to help Lieutenant Colonel Horns. It was Sean's return for the lieutenant colonel's life-saving grace.
Sean then came to Lieutenant Colonel Horns. Horns attaches great importance to military etiquette, so Sean has always been a military appearance and behaving in front of him.
After performing the standard military salute, Sean handed out a stack of manuscript papers: "Sir, this is what I wrote yesterday, please review it." ”
"Oh!" Horns sat on his desk in his room, struggling with a pile of papers, and it seemed that he had pulled a lot of hair down, "Look at my memory, forget about it." ”
This is an article written by Lieutenant Colonel Sean for Horns to his friends in the Holy City press.
"Soldier Bill's Promotion?" Horns frowned, "Fiction, isn't that the genre appropriate?"
Sean didn't answer directly, but Horns read it carefully, his brows quickly relaxed, and he even smiled from time to time, but his fierce face didn't look good when he smiled.
"Very good, very good, I thought you would write a well-rounded news commentary, or a meaty praise article, in a novel narrative that even I want to know what you're going to write next. Lieutenant Colonel Horns commented, "Why do you write that? Although it is well written, I have never seen a serialized novel in a newspaper." But don't worry, I'll send it to my friends, and it's up to them. ”
"Because it's a novel, it's fiction. Sean said, "Sir, I don't want to be seen as if I'm accusing someone or a group of people. ”
After listening to this, Lieutenant Colonel Horns said thoughtfully:
"It's still thoughtful. To tell you the truth, I was a midshipman in the army, and although I think I know a lot about the army and soldiers, I can be regarded as an experienced soldier. But the army has never been seen from the point of view of an ordinary soldier. Thank you, Sean, that you will be a great soldier in the future. ”
Sean hesitated, "Sir, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I miss my hometown, even though it doesn't have much of my happy time. ”
Lieutenant Colonel Horns' face changed drastically, and he stood up and circled around the room:
"Do you know that our 21st Division is going to be rebuilt, and we need officers, a lot of officers. Believe me, as long as you stay, I guarantee that your military rank will soon be raised to another rank, you are only 19 years old, and your future is limitless!"
"You know, Count Hermann will be in office soon. Sean said.
Horns was surprised: "I only found out today, this is still a military secret, how do you know?"
"Actually, I found out the night before. Sean replied, and told him about his encounter with Boss Bass.
Horns was an upright soldier, and when he heard this, Sean said:
"Sir, do you want to be a general?"
This question hit Horns straight to the heart. He had been in the rank of captain for eight years, and if it weren't for the fact that he escaped death not long ago, which the bigwigs of the Holy City could not ignore, he would have continued to stumble in this rank, which he had exchanged for his life.
Can be promoted to general, when will it be? In the imperial army, there were not no generals of civilian origin, but they were undoubtedly the result of a combination of great military exploits, outstanding talents, and certain factors beyond the reach of individuals.
There were too many officers, in Horns' opinion, a disgrace to the army, otherwise there would not have been such a miserable loss this time.
But that's the reality.
"Maybe you're right, but what's the difference between your speculative mentality and that of a businessman? ”
Horns was in a bad mood and coldly ordered to evict the guests.
Shaun didn't know what kind of ideological struggle Horns had engaged in that day and night, and early the next morning, Lieutenant Colonel Horns called him out again.
"Sean, I need you to do me a favor before you leave the army. You know, I'm a bare-roded lieutenant colonel now, and I can only rely on you. ”
Horns said straight to the point, he is not the kind of person who likes to pestering and persuading his subordinates, and since Sean is out of mind, he acquiesces.
He pulls out a portrait of Benjamin Don?
"I've seen this bounty, sir, do you want a bounty?" asked Sean.
"This is the task that Marshal Lewis will give me, and Earl Howard, who has lost his beloved son, has approached His Excellency the Marshal and asked him to send an army to arrest this bandit, whether he lives or dies. Now is a critical time, the countless eyes of the Holy City are staring here, and the marshal does not want to make a fuss, so he gives me this task, except for the bounty, he hints that he will compensate me in other aspects. Horns said openly and honestly.
"What do you need me to do? You need to have a hunting team, and everyone should get a share of the bounty for their contributions. Sean said.
Horns high-fived and said, "Happy! I can take no penny of the bounty." If you need to have some money on hand, such as buying suitable weapons, horses, and equipment, the marshal can provide some of them, and I can pay for the rest out of my own pocket. I need your help to organize the people who can be used to me in this monastery, can I do that?"
"As you wish!" Shaun replied.
Sean saluted and left, walked out of the door, and shrank back: "Sir, you are speculating!"
"Get out!"
Horns yelled in annoyance.
