Chapter 051, Substitute of Honor
The whole class was stunned, not to mention that these officers, even Clark, the colonel, had never seen the prophet, but they didn't expect that they would see it today, and in this case, the atmosphere was very awkward for a while, and they even forgot what to do.
But at this moment, Su Su, who was standing beside Canglong, snorted coldly: "Lizheng!" β
Under the conditioned reflex, all the officers immediately stood solemnly, and saluted a standard military salute, and then said in unison: "Hello chief!" β
Everything in the Prophet Army is copied from the Russian and Chinese traditions, and in the eyes of all the soldiers of the Prophet Army, their supreme leader is the Prophet.
The same is true of Clarke, even Abdul-Jabbar has forgotten the pain, and everyone is solemn, as if waiting for the prophet's words, while Clark is pale, and they all know very well that the prophet has always been decisive in killing, especially to those who bully.
If it was the black general, they would not be so afraid, after all, the black general looks fierce, but the others are very good, but the prophet is different, they all remember the coup d'Γ©tat when the new Iraq was established and independent, and they all remember the hanged chief of the General Staff and the former field army commander Akram.
You must know that at that time, these two were the highest-ranking generals in the Prophet's army, but the Prophet hung them mercilessly in front of the Capitol, just like hanging those corrupt officials, and because of this, both the Prophet's army and the high-ranking officials of the administrative system were strict with themselves.
They were well aware of the severe punishment they would receive if they made a mistake under such high treatment, not to mention that he Clark was far lower than Akram and Badr.
If the prophet hangs him, it will be as simple as hanging an ant, although the black general is very protective of calves, but Clark knows that the black general is the most supportive of the prophet, and no one will doubt this, as soon as the prophet speaks, the black general will not only not intercede, but may even carry it out himself.
Seeing the prophet walking towards him, Clark began to tremble, there is no way, the prophet's name is too wide, not to mention Iraq, the whole world knows him.
In the Prophet's Army, everyone admired him to the extreme, even Clark himself, and even if he hanged himself, he had no complaints, because he made a mistake and bullied an instructor much weaker than himself at the Basra Military Academy, which was a shameful thing.
Although he only realized now that it was shameful, he was not afraid, but bravely showed his true colors of daring to take responsibility.
He took a step forward and said, "Prophet, I was wrong! β
"What's wrong?" Canglong asked coldly.
"Violating the first article of the Prophet's military law, do not bully the weak!" Clark said coldly.
"Oh, what should be done according to military law?" Canglong asked.
At this time, the faces of the officers present changed, the prophet really didn't care what rank Clark was, and if the first military law was serious, it could be hanged, and only the military regulations of the Prophet Army in the world were so strict, but this was also the reason why the Prophet Army was so strong in combat.
They vaguely remembered that General Black once said that if the army is military law, it is a group of bandits, and bandits cannot win any war, let alone let them defend the country.
"Detention at the lightest, hanging!" Clark's face was as dead as ashes.
Hearing this, no one dared to intercede, but Jabbar, who was on the side, said: "Prophet, I am also at fault! β
"What's wrong with you?" Canglong asked calmly.
"Allowing students to play cards in class and trying to stop them knowing they can't stop them." Abdul-Jabbar said with his head down.
But at this time, the faces of all the officers changed, if Jabbar didn't say this, the punishment might be just Clark, but as soon as this sentence came out, all of them would be severely punished by military law, what is the Basra Military Academy? Of course, they know that playing poker in class here, and flouting the instructors, it is light to hang them.
For a while, all the officers felt that Jabbar was very insidious, and this was to put them to death, but at this moment, Jabbar suddenly said: "So, I should bear ninety percent of the responsibility for this matter, according to military law, I bear ninety percent of the responsibility, and the remaining one percent will be borne by themselves, plus my own discipline is not good, crime on crime, please the prophet punished!" β
After saying that, except for Canglong, everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Jabbar to actually take ninety percent of the responsibility for them, and these words actually came from the mouth of a teenager who was more than ten years younger than them, at this time Clark looked at the boy and felt ashamed.
He asked himself that he would never be able to do this, knowing that ninety percent of the responsibility was definitely enough to hang him, but the young man stood up resolutely, and in the face of the prophet, he still had such a determined look.
Su Su smiled, the reason why they came to Basra Military Academy was to find a commander for the newly formed garrison armored division, although Canglong said that he was directly in command, but that was only one-sided, after all, he was a leader, he could hang a false title, but it was absolutely impossible to command the garrison armored division at all times.
Before coming, Canglong said that he wanted to surprise himself, but Su Su didn't expect Canglong's surprise to be the young man in front of him, and before, Su Su even thought that the commander should be Clark, this person he knows, he has experienced many wars, especially the bloody battle with the First Armored Division of the US Army, he is one of the few people in the armored force who survived, and he is very valued by the old black weapon.
And almost all of the people who survived were promoted, and they were at least battalion and regimental officers in the current Prophet Army.
"If you are an officer and his commander, I will add a crime to you, the crime of harboring, and you are his instructor, and your behavior also violates the crime of harboring military regulations, and this article alone is enough to put you on the gallows." Canglong said coldly.
Everyone was silent, they looked at Jabbar's thin body, but they did not dare to speak, not because they did not want to speak to Jabbar, but because the majesty of the Prophet in their hearts was so terrifying that they did not dare to refute it in front of the Prophet.
"If the Prophet can let them go, I am willing to bear all the charges, compared to them, I am just a child who has not been on the battlefield, and they are more useful to this country than I am, please Prophet!" Abdul-Jabbar suddenly fell to his knees.
This scene shook the officers in the entire class, they didn't expect Jabbar's backbone to be so hard, they didn't dare to speak in front of the prophet, but this young man dared to speak, and he also took the initiative to beg for death.
"The duty of a soldier is to defend the country and the people, you are just a minor student, what qualifications do you have to take responsibility for us!" At this moment, Clark spoke, "One person does one thing and one person is responsible, Clark is willing to take all the responsibility, if the prophet wants to punish, punish me, I remember that there is a clause in the military regulations that juvenile crimes cannot be applied to military law!" β
"We are also at fault, we are willing to bear it with all our might, and we hope that the prophet will carry it out in accordance with military regulations, and minors will not be subject to military law!" At this time, everyone in the class spoke, just because of Jabbar's toughness, this is the true nature of the Prophet Army, no matter who they face, it is the same.
Su Su walked up to Canglong and whispered, "Head, you are doing your own sin." β
Canglong glared at him angrily, in fact, he was happy in his heart, he didn't misunderstand this child, when he was only twelve years old, he dared to confront himself face to face, although he was a little timid at that time, but Canglong remembered his eyes and sent him to Basra Military Academy for further study, just for today.
At this time, Canglong couldn't see the timidity in Jabbar's eyes, there was only courage and determination, this was the talent he wanted, even if he was only seventeen years old, but he was somewhat mature, but he couldn't be talked about by age.
Of course, he also understands what Su Su meant, now these people have moved out of the military regulations to intercede with Abdul-Jabbar, and he is a person who uses the rule of law to rule the country, and no one who makes a mistake can not show favoritism, let alone bend the law, so he is now in an embarrassing situation.
It's just that this embarrassment is nothing to Canglong, he said coldly: "Get up!" β
Jabbar didn't hesitate, he stood up and looked at Canglong, still with that determined and determined look.
"You all remember to me that the achievements on the battlefield are not your capital to show off, nor is it a way for you to gain power, because you need to take on more responsibilities." Canglong walked up to Clark, pulled off the epaulettes of his rank of colonel, and continued, "You may be proud of the honor you have received, but I am ashamed of you. β
Clark didn't speak, but everyone was a little unconvinced, they were born and died for this country, didn't they even qualify for this honor?
"When you get this epaulettes, you should think of those comrades-in-arms who were born and died for this country, but lay in the garden of national heroes and martyrs." Canglong's expression was solemn, "In my heart, only they are qualified to receive the highest honor of this country, and you who are alive are burdened with responsibility, the responsibility they fought bloodily and sacrificed their lives in exchange!" β
The class was silent, Clark lowered his head in shame, at this moment he thought of his comrades-in-arms, thought of the people he knew best, those comrades-in-arms who had fought with him bloodily but fell at his feet and became a cold corpse, thinking of them, what could he be proud of?
And isn't it shameful that he actually used his comrades-in-arms to create a victory and show off in front of a teenager?
Su Su didn't expect Canglong's words to be so profound, and for a while he also thought of his comrades-in-arms, and thought of those comrades-in-arms who had fought bloodily for the republic and died on the battlefield, they had their share of any honor, and they were the ones who deserved to get this honor the most.
"Compared to them, we are just the agents of this honor!" This is the feeling of all the officers after hearing these words, and it is the heavy responsibility that they are doing
