Chapter 10: Rivalry
Because Colonel Adolf and the others were already getting dark when they arrived, and after a round in the 197th branch, it was completely dark. Lieutenant www.biquge.info Colonel Laquin said that he had prepared a banquet to entertain Colonel Adolf, who had traveled all the way.
Colonel Adolf still liked this kind of pomp, after all, he was only a major in the naval headquarters, but he had never received this kind of treatment.
And entering Lieutenant Colonel Laquin's house, even Colonel Adolf, who had seen the world in his headquarters, could not hide his surprise. The extravagance of Lieutenant Colonel Raquinn's house was beyond his imagination, and on the wooden shelves on one side were a dazzling array of rare treasures, and all kinds of extravagant planks, chandeliers, furniture, and even carpets could easily see how fine the texture was.
Laquin enjoyed Adolf's surprise and thought he was doing a pretty good job of it.
"Please, Colonel Adolf, let's go inside for dinner. Laquin led Adolf into the dining room.
Rhodes, who had been following Colonel Adolf since disembarking, also planned to follow. But Raquin stopped him, smiled at Adolf, and said, "Colonel, this is a private banquet for you and me, and I hope no one else will enter." ”
Colonel Adolf was quite appreciative of Raquin's series of measures, and he nodded, "Yes." ”
Rhodes nodded noncommittally, then stood outside the door.
As soon as Colonel Adolf entered the dining room, he froze again. A large table was filled with fragrant delicacies, and there was even a Impbit wine from one of the countries of the Great Passage.
Adolf couldn't walk as soon as he saw the Rimbit, and he didn't care how a small lieutenant colonel in a remote area of the East China Sea got his hands on the Rimbit, but he rushed up like a hungry wolf, picked up the glass and quickly filled it, and when it came to his mouth, he tasted it slowly and earnestly.
When Laquin saw Adolf's appearance, he was overjoyed, and felt that he had probably found Adolf's itch. So he sat down beside Adolf, saw Adolf's intoxicated look and said, "Colonel, what do you think of today?"
Adolf replied to Laquin's words, "Very well, this is a treatment that can only be enjoyed by lieutenant generals every day in the headquarters." ”
"Would you like to do it every day?" asked Raquinn again.
Adolf turned his head and said, "Who wouldn't want to?"
"Good, good!" said Raquin three good words in a row, "Then I will send someone to wait for you like this every day from now on." ”
Raquin's little ninety-nine was still seen by Adolf, and he just wanted to take advantage of the good days to gradually override Adolf.
When Laquin learned that Colonel Adolphus had not only come to support them, but had also come to replace him as the supreme officer of the 197th Branch, he refused in his heart. However, when he accompanied Colonel Adolf for a walk later, he freed up his mind to come up with a solution. Let him still control the 197th Branch, and also be in charge of the Navy that came with Colonel Adolf, which is considered an elite in his eyes.
He said he would do it, sent good people to make the best food early, and even brought in the Embit wine that a certain pirate group had robbed of the caravan from the Great Voyage not long ago.
He felt that although this level of consumption would not last long, in this short period of time, it was more than enough to use money, beauty, and power to poach Adolf's soldiers and set him up.
Originally, he was still a little nervous, after all, Colonel Adolf was from the Navy Headquarters, and he must have seen more of the world than him. But after he invited Colonel Adolf into his luxurious villa, his heart finally relaxed.
Adolf was silent, thinking to himself what to do with the feast.
In fact, he was choosing wealth and power.
"I ...... Think about it. "Colonel Adolf decided to take care of it again.
Laquin didn't force it, and for him, getting Colonel Adolph to start moving was a good start.
So, Raquin still talked to Adolf enthusiastically, and finished the meal happily anyway.
After waiting for an hour in Rhodes, Raquin and Adolf came out. Both of them were full of red light, which made Rhodes can't help but reverie......
After a slight repair, Raquet arranged accommodation for Adolf and the rest of the navy.
By the time this was done, it was about ten o'clock in the evening.
Although Adolf was only a major in the Navy headquarters, he did not forget that he had a habit of going to bed early and waking up early. After Raquin placed him down, he packed up his things in the house and went to bed.
"Colonel. ”
"Huh?" Adolf was startled at first, and his hand that was about to undress stopped, "Rhodes?"
"Yes. Rhodes responded.
Colonel Adolf breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that some pirates would sneak into the branch and attack him on the first day he arrived.
"What's wrong? ”
Rhodes said, "I'm going to take my troops tomorrow to encircle and suppress that pirate group called 'Resistance'. ”
Adolf frowned and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Then I'll give you your consent. Rhodes turned and walked away.
"Huh...... Wait a minute. Although Adolf was keen on Rhodes' strength, he didn't like his temper very much, "Why do you want to attack so early? We don't even know where our opponents are, how many troops we have, and so on. ”
"Because of their names, Colonel, I'm sure you've seen quite a few pirates on the Great Passage, right? But have you ever seen something like 'Resistance'? I'm curious. And I can't wait to take part in a battle to improve my strength. Rhodes said blandly, "As for the questions you mentioned, I think we can get some information from Lieutenant Colonel Raquin. ”
"Okay. Adolf agreed to Rhodes, but Rhodes' remark, 'I can't wait to fight to improve my strength,' was still quite reluctant.
……
Day 2
Adolf got up early, and Rhodes, for some reason, had already begun to inspect the entire branch base.
As for the two hundred naval soldiers brought by Adolf, their daily training also began.
What made these soldiers a little uncomfortable was that they were surrounded by circles of branch naval soldiers.
"Look, this is the soldier of the naval headquarters Marin Vantow in the Great Passage!"
"They still have to train every day, huh?"
"No wonder it's so powerful......"
Colonel Adolf faintly heard a few words coming from the onlookers.
He found Lieutenant Colonel Raquin and asked with a straight face, "Why doesn't the branch navy train?"
Raquin was silent for a while before he said: "At present, our strength can completely defeat Donghai Haze, I think...... There is no need to ......"
"The sea pirates can't be defeated even if they are trained, and the little pirates are more than enough to deal with without training, right?" Adolf asked.
Raquinn nodded.
"Hmph. "Adolf knows why a naval branch can't even solve the unknown little pirate of the East China Sea, who is known as the weakest in the four seas.
At this time, Rhodes walked from the side and said to Adolf, "The movement of the resistance to the pirates has been grasped, and we can set off at any time." ”
Raquin, whose face was originally red to the root of his ears, suddenly looked up and said, "What...... What? You're going to encircle and suppress the rebel pirates?"
"Yes, it was decided last night. Colonel Adolf nodded solemnly.
"You ...... I just came here yesterday. Where is the time to keep track of their movements?" asked Laquin.
"Oh, yesterday the new head of the 197th Branch, Colonel Adolf, authorized me to call up all the information you have accumulated during this time. Rhodes said with a blank face.
Raquin's face turned red, and he said angrily, "How can you ...... without my consent"
The feeling of being taken away from her power really upset Laquin.
"Don't forget, Colonel Adolf is now the top officer of the 197th Branch. Rhodes said coldly.
Raquinn looked at the boy in front of him who was slightly lower than him and said, "You're not qualified to talk to me. He turned to look at Adolf and said, "Then why don't you ask me." ”
"I want to ...... Colonel Adolf's report is enough, isn't it?" Rhodes was very upset with this guy.
"You...... You ......" Raquin's chest rose and fell violently.
"Alright, we're ready to go. Colonel Adolf strode away with Rhodes.
Laquin looked at the distant backs of the two and said to himself, "You forced me!"
