Chapter 59: Training Accidents?
"Which team will come first? Well? ”
After Weiss threw out the "bidding rules", the commanders of the artillery team, who were still scrambling just now, were all cowardly, waiting one by one to see how others behaved.
"It seems that everyone's sincerity is still not enough!" Weiss crossed his hands over his chest, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the commanders. Except for those who have already gone on the road to carry the second batch of ammunition, the rest of the artillery teams have arrived, and those who serve as the commanders of the artillery teams are basically the best among the cadets of the same level. Some of them have bright eyes, and at first glance they are shrewd people; Some do not squint, and behave frankly and straightforwardly; Some are burly and rely on hard power to speak, while others are mediocre in appearance, but they are wise and foolish......
"Since you are humble, then let me come first!"
The commander of the 1st Artillery Team took a step, held his head high, and said in a loud tone: "Our artillery team carried 16 shells this time, consumed 15 rounds, and left 1 round, and had two hits before. In addition, after the training is over, I will personally invite all the 1st and 9th artillery teams to dinner! ”
Hearing the last sentence, all the members of the 9th Artillery Squadron who came to join in the fun immediately gave warm cheers.
Beyond the "absent" 2nd Artillery Brigade, the commander of the 3rd Artillery Corps came out without giving up: "Our artillery team carried 16 shells, consumed 16 rounds, had three hits before, three close misses, and four more shells, we can ensure the destruction of the target, and after this training, I personally invite everyone to dinner, enough wine and meat, not drunk and not home!" ”
The crowd cheered again.
The next few artillery commanders were nothing more than adding a little weight to the reasons of the previous one. During this period, Weiss noticed that the commander of the 8th Artillery Squadron, Maren Enge, who seemed to be honest but had a comprehensive score second only to the "strongest three students", was called aside by the baby-faced brother and whispered a few words.
The cadet number of the baby-faced brother Nicolas Lebold was 162, so he was assigned to the 8th Artillery Regiment. The student number at Maren-Eng is 164, and as long as it is a team subject grouped by student number, they are usually both in the same group. As far as Weiss knew, this old man had a steady and low-key personality, was thoughtful, and took good care of the baby-faced brother, and was one of his few friends at the Patton Military Academy.
A gentleman's friend, a friend who is as light as water.
When the commander of the artillery team in front of him finished speaking, Malen stood up calmly and said calmly: "Gentlemen, the facts are in front of you, with the exquisite calculation of Clumber-Haisen, no matter which team takes this box of shells, it can basically complete this training task. There is also a dinner, everyone has basically won the award of the military school, not to mention inviting the No. 40 person to dinner, even if you invite everyone to dinner, it is not a big deal. Let me say that the reason why our 8th Artillery Corps is qualified to take this box of shells is because we have the strongest relationship with the 9th Artillery Corps - it was, it is, and it will still be! I can assure you that from now on, we will not stand idly by as long as the 9th Artillery Brigade, both as a team or individually, gets into trouble! That's our reason, simple and sincere! ”
The audience fell silent for two seconds, followed by almost boiling applause and cheers. Even Weiss had to admit that the emotional card of the 8th Artillery Team was played really beautifully!
Maren Engel's speech was so brilliant that it not only gave an overwhelming advantage to the first few speakers, but also made the later speakers pale in comparison. Since the contrast is so stark, Weiss happily concluded: the 8th Artillery Brigade has the most sufficient reasons and is the most qualified to receive this "friendship gift package"!
Leaving the rest to Rune, Weiss left the crowd and walked over to the baby-faced little brother who was standing quietly watching not far away.
Weiss had never felt awkward with him until he knew his true identity, but now he found himself speaking unnaturally in front of him: "You...... Belch...... Got a great idea for Mullen! Yes, not a bad idea! ”
The baby-faced little brother grinned as usual: "Thanks to you for coming up with such a whimsical question, otherwise, our team really has no advantage in competing with other teams!" ”
Weiss blurted out, "Aren't you your greatest strength?" ”
The baby-faced brother pointed to his cheek: "But I'm thin-skinned!" Why are you embarrassed to rob in public? ”
Weiss laughed, "When you happily took away my models, didn't you feel thin-skinned at all?" Trengue can testify to this, you can't rely on it! ”
The baby-faced guy immediately flew up, but as always, it was just a bluff to scare him.
Weiss jumped back away, and then saw Malen carrying the box of shells, like an old bachelor who had successfully robbed his relatives, and happily returned to the gun position.
The baby-faced guy also saw Mullen, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to go back to help, but said to Weiss, "Okay, okay, I owe you again." Next time you take a vacation, I will take you to Aocheng for a special meal, which is guaranteed to be unforgettable for you! ”
How special can it be even more delicious than the dishes cooked by the president's royal chef? Weiss muttered to himself.
Seeing that Weiss didn't say anything, the little brother punched him lightly and heavily: "Hey, what's the daze?" ”
In order to hide his thoughts, Weiss deliberately diverted the topic: "I was thinking, even if I were on it myself, four shells would not ensure the destruction of the target, so ...... Good luck to you! ”
"Huh?" The baby-faced little brother glared and said, "What do you mean by this, are you not going to volunteer to help me with this?" ”
"What do you mean by that, you're going to give me a special consultant's salary?" Weiss teased with ease. After finishing speaking, I couldn't help muttering in my heart: What a spicy cow is the daddy, it's not a problem to really hire yourself as a special consultant in the government department!
The baby-faced brother pouted: "If you don't go, you won't go, what's the big deal!" But...... I didn't squeeze in to listen to the technical problems you just explained to them, you tell me again! Be careful! ”
Weiss rolled his eyes at him, and then, from beginning to end, he took the trouble to repeat it, not even missing the details.
"Got it?"
"yes, got it!"
As soon as the baby-faced brother's voice fell, there was a sudden loud bang.
Suddenly, it was as if the world had lit up a second sun, and it was so hard that people couldn't open their eyes at all!
Suddenly, the powerful impact was like a hurricane setting off a raging wave, slapping everyone fiercely!
Weiss subconsciously grabbed the baby-faced brother's arm and tried to protect him with his body, but he couldn't, and both of them fell hard. If it weren't for the fact that people's physique has been fully exercised in this harsh and cruel world, this time there would be enough choking!
Slightly conscious, Weiss struggled to get up and look at the baby-faced brother, only to see him lying motionless to the ground, with no obvious signs of trauma on his body. So while calling his name, he patted him on the shoulder, but he slammed his elbow and let out a sharp shout: "Get out!" ”
In the case of the complete absence of embankment, Weiss's cheeks were firmly hit by this blow, and he was already a little confused, and suddenly felt that the whole person was not good. Look at the baby-faced brother again, like a frightened hedgehog, sitting up and curling up, looking ahead with empty eyes......
Luan ran over quickly, and when he saw this, he put his hands on the baby-faced boy's shoulders: "Hey, Nikolai, it's me!" Lune Schmidt! ”
The baby-faced guy looked at Rune in a daze, and after a few seconds, his eyes returned to normal, nodding and shaking his head, burying his head in his lap.
Weiss sat on the ground, his mouth filled with the salty taste of blood. He quietly watched as Rune whispered to reassure the baby-faced brother, and thought quietly: Nikolai must have experienced a special event that left a deep, deep mental wound to behave so strangely when a similar situation suddenly appeared. In this way, it is likely that President Leibold and his family have been bombed before, and possibly when Nikolai was still relatively young......
There were no outsiders at the scene, so after a brief period of chaos, order was brought under control. It was quickly discovered that the explosion just now came from the firing position of the 8th Artillery Team, and the entire 8th Artillery Team, except for Nicolas Leibold, who was talking to Weiss, and a cadet who temporarily walked away for a small break, the remaining 18 people were either killed or wounded, and the Grumman M15 gun they used, the gun body and gun carriage were generally intact, and the tail part of the gun was unsightly, which seemed to be caused by the explosion of the shell, but what made people wonder was how a training bomb could have such great power?
Due to an accident, the live-fire course ended in vain, and the instructors, inspectors and trainees present focused on treating and transporting the wounded. It wasn't until that night, when a large number of armed gendarmes drove into the Bathton Military Academy, that people gradually discovered that this matter was far from simple!
