Chapter 458: Excessive Greed
Chapter 458:
The 82-barrel car was stopped by a sentry standing guard in front of the quartermaster warehouse of the logistics department, and the driver had to stop and turn off the engine, Xiao Mubai jumped down from the car and walked directly to the nearest sentry.
"Private of the Ranks, this is my ID, please open the rejection, I want to see Colonel Steve of the Logistics Department." Xiao Mubai said to the high-ranking private, noticing the MP40 submachine gun in the sentry's hand, and he was a little sure of this trip.
"Yes, sir!"
The ranks of the German army in World War II were divided into six classes and twenty ranks, and this sentry was only one level higher than the lowest private, and he was ten levels behind Heinrich.
The 82-barrel car was restarted, and it was not until it drove into the courtyard of the logistics department that Xiao Mubai noticed that there were many cars parked here and many people were outside.
"Hey, Lieutenant, are you also here to get supplies from the stingy colonel?" Just after going upstairs to fill out the visitor registration, standing on the floor and lining up behind the people waiting to be interviewed, a colleague turned his head and smiled at Xiao Mubai.
"Of course, you too?" Xiao Mubai asked the captain rhetorically.
Seeing that there were so many people, Xiao Mubai suddenly had no confidence in this trip, so many people came to get military supplies, obviously the supply was very tight, and it was impossible to satisfy everyone, and the stingy colonel in the captain's words made Xiao Mubai have a bad impression of Steve, who had never met.
"Yes, get acquainted, Kirk, the New Kirn Supplementary Battalion. My Mr. Major was seriously wounded at the front and had difficulty moving, so I had to come. Captain Kirk shrugged.
"Oh, it turned out to be Neukeln, and I'm Heinrich, in Zelendorf, right next to you."
"We are all outcasts in the 14th suburban district, and pity my wounded brothers." After Captain Kirk finished speaking, he heard Colonel Steve's adjutant talking about the next person, and immediately stopped talking, squeezed his eyebrows at Xiao Mubai, and said in a low voice: "I'm sure that this trip will definitely be empty-handed, and I will go first." ”
Xiao Mubai watched Captain Kirk walk into Colonel Steve's office, silently waiting for the meeting, he stood behind Captain Kirk, and the next person was him.
The administrative district of the city of Berlin is divided into 23 districts, of which 14 districts, such as Neukeln, Zelendorf, and Spandau, belong to the suburbs because they are far away from the urban area of Berlin.
The barracks of the reserve army supplementary battalion are all in the suburbs of Berlin, one of which has few buildings in the suburbs, a wide field of training, and does not disturb the people, and the other is that the urban area is the station of the SS and secret police barracks, where there is a lot of oil and water, and the uncle of the reserve army does not love his grandmother and does not love it, how can he be stationed there.
Most importantly, the SS was the Führer's henchman, and Berlin, as the capital, of course, had to be under the direct control of the Führer, and the Wehrmacht had no advantage in comparison.
No wonder Captain Kirk would say something like that, each of the fourteen suburbs had a supplementary battalion, which was a reserve military force belonging to the Berlin garrison of the Berlin Military District, and those individuals in the logistics department, who were first of all satisfied with the supply of the SS munitions.
And the logistics department is also subordinate to the domestic garrison, how can this not make the people of the supplementary battalion feel dissatisfied, this is tantamount to eating inside and out.
However, in Germany at the moment, this is all normal, and everyone knows that the SS is the Führer's henchmen.
Sure enough, it was less than three minutes, and when Captain Kirk came out and saw him depressed and a little indignant, Xiao Mubai knew that the trip was fruitless, and the people in the logistics department did not give him any face.
"These bastards!" When passing by Captain Kirk, Xiao Mubai heard him curse like this.
"Next." Colonel Steve's adjutant, after Captain Kirk walked out, immediately shouted to the next one, Xiao Mubai walked over, and when he passed by Captain Kirk, he whispered to him: "Wait for me, I'll come out immediately, I have something to look for you." ”
Xiao Mubai walked in under the direct gaze of the adjutant, and then the door of the office slammed shut, and then he saw a colonel in his forties, buried in a desk full of papers.
"Colonel, Zelendorf Replenishment Battalion, Lieutenant Ewald Heinrich von Kleist salutes you." Xiao Mubai snapped upright, then raised his hand to salute the colonel, and shouted loudly.
The voice echoed in the office, and Colonel Steve was awakened by a loud voice, so he looked up at Xiao Mubai and said thoughtfully: "Lieutenant, it's useless to be loud, you tell me your surname, do you want to say that you are from the Kleist family?" ”
"Sir, no."
"It's fine if you don't have a reason to convince me, you can go out, don't waste my time." With that, Colonel Steve continued to bury his head in his work.
"Sir, in this air raid, there are fifty-six casualties in the Zelendorf Supplementary Battalion, including eighteen wounded, the hospital has a limited supply of penicillin, I need to treat each of my brothers, please help."
Saying that, Xiao Mubai took a step forward, put the wooden box he was holding in his hand, and gently put it on Colonel Steve's desk, and then retreated, and said with a smile: "I think that a good person will be rewarded, a person with high morals, God or meet all his needs." ”
When Colonel Steve heard this, he looked up and saw the contents of the wooden box, a thick stack of dollars, a few gold bars, a Patek Philippe watch, an M1911 pistol with a wedge in gold, and an antique Habsburg diamond ring.
"Heinrich, this is far beyond your small requirements, what else do you want to do, I will do my best to satisfy you." A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and Steve gasped to suppress the excitement in his heart and said to Xiao Mubai.
"Colonel, I just want my brother to survive." Xiao Mubai said, then changed the topic and continued: "Of course, if there are other things, I think Mr. Colonel should be willing to help. ”
"Of course. What do you need? I'll write a comment right away. As he spoke, Colonel Steve placed the wooden box under his desk.
"100 doses of penicillin, it shouldn't embarrass the colonel." Xiao Mubai didn't open his mouth widely.
"Of course." Seeing Xiao Mubai so contented, Colonel Steve was even happier, and immediately wrote down the approval note and handed it to him.
"Colonel, goodbye."
"Your soldiers are lucky to have a commander like you, you will be rewarded, goodbye."
Sure enough, as Xiao Mubai expected, this Colonel Steve is really a greedy guy as rumored, no wonder he has followed the Nazi Party all the way, and he will always rise to prominence, such a person is really not a pity to die.
After getting the approval slip from Colonel Steve, when he went to the warehouse to get the medicine, he went all the way unimpeded, and successfully got a hundred doses of penicillin, and when Xiao Mubai came out, Captain Kirk was already very impatient.
However, when several soldiers followed Xiao Mubai out of the warehouse, and the soldiers carried the box to the back compartment of the 82-barrel car, and saw Xiao Mubai open the box and reveal the tight penicillin hidden inside, Captain Kirk was immediately excited.
"Heinrich, what is this?"
"As you wish, penicillin."
"Heinrich, can you give a little to the Neukern Replenishment Battalion? Not a lot, sixteen doses are enough. Please save the soldiers who are still alive, and the whole battalion of the New Kern Replenishment Battalion will remember your kindness. ”
"Of course, we are all noble Wehrmacht soldiers, and our goals are the same."
