Chapter 135: Changing Guards

"One-two-one, one-two-one, take a break, and now all of them salute like the national flag."

Xiao Baitu, who had just finished the commendation, and the two squads of soldiers sent by the War Department to Christmas Island to change the guard returned to Christmas Island on the Mermaid together, and the newly appointed garrison commander Zhao Kuo pulled Xiao Baitu to the barracks eagerly.

Due to the increasingly special geographical location and economic status of Christmas Island, the Executive Committee's attention to this has also been raised to a higher level, from the original dispatch of a squad of soldiers to upgrade; Two squads, and the garrison brigade was also upgraded to the command of the major.

This made He Yu, who had not yet sat hot on Christmas Island, depressed, where all the armament and barracks construction had just been completed, and it was when he realized the theory he had learned in school that he sent a telegram from the War Office, and because of his outstanding performance on Christmas Island, the War Office decided to promote himself to the rank of captain and transfer to the Manchester City Garrison Command.

Although it is an enviable existence to be placed anywhere in terms of rank or work station, this does not make He Yu happy, because his military rank promotion is not through the military industry, in his subconscious, in this era, the promotion of military ranks must be based on the military industry.

Other than that, he doesn't want to leave right now. It's not that he is nostalgic for the fireworks here, but he was a top student of the National Defense University before the crossing, and he figured out a set of theories in army building and training, and originally wrote a report and handed it in, but he never got a response, so he came out depressed to relax, but he didn't expect to cross like this.

Christmas Island is far away from the mainland, and the War Department cannot interfere with his implementation of his own theory, he can boldly apply it, and now he wants to transfer back to the mainland or the capital Manchester City, it is certain that the officials of the War Department and the bigwigs within the army will not agree, which is one of the reasons for his depression.

In addition to this, there is also the affection for Christmas Island, where the barracks and every facility are sprinkled with his sweat.

For Zhao Kuo's impatient performance, He Yu was disgusted, and Zhao Kuo was not a soldier at all in his eyes, a soldier, this guy is not worthy, a guy who relies on his whiskers to shoot horses, and where there is ready-made fruit, he can also be regarded as a soldier.

In fact, it is not that He Yu is prejudiced against Zhao Kuo, but that Zhao Kuo himself can be said to be an officer with no combat experience at all, and in his homeland, he is in charge of the military's internal literary and artistic work, and he doesn't know which of the bigwigs in the War Department is wrong, and he actually agreed to the transfer of such a civilian cadre to serve as the supreme commander of the overseas garrison.

It may be that in their eyes, the environment of Christmas Island is not too bad, and there is nothing to threaten at all, so this is a good place to stay up.

Zhao Kuo, this guy has no actual combat experience before or after the crossing, he is a real theorist, and his mouth is full of fancies, as if he is like a general who can command a big battle. In the local area, because there are other powerful factions and military ranks higher than him, he still doesn't dare to be too ostentatious, but here is different, his military rank and position are the highest.

So as soon as he arrived at the barracks, he let people blow the rank number, let all the soldiers stationed in the garrison and the soldiers who changed the local guard line up on the playground, and then learn some movie scenes, standing under the flag-raising platform, wearing a pair of sunglasses and looking at the soldiers below.

waved his hand, and then introduced himself, the action of waving his hand made Xiao Baitu, who was standing on the sidelines watching the ceremony, stunned, as if he had a sense of déjà vu.

"Soldiers, it's a pleasure to stand here and talk to you, I think you may have heard, I'm the new garrison commander, Major Zhao Kuo, from today I will accept the command of the Christmas Island garrison, on behalf of the War Department, I would like to express my condolences to you for your contributions in the early development of Christmas Island, in the next two months, you will be transferred back to China one after another, I hope you can cooperate well with my work in the coming days."

Looking at Zhao Kuo, who was extremely pretended, He Yu pursed his lips and said to Xiao Baitu with some disdain: A mouth cannon, you didn't even participate in the battle of fighting slaves, so you dared to come out and serve as the commander of the garrison, Brother Xiao, you will be in big trouble in the future.

For He Yu's reminder, Xiao Baitu had already heard of Zhao Kuo's deeds in his homeland, but in his mind, it was not too bad, as long as this person could maintain the law and order of Christmas Island well, it would be good, if it really didn't work, then he could only rely on his own militia troops.

"It's okay, as long as this guy doesn't mess around, I won't care about the rest." Xiao Bai's image is a person who is fine, and generally smiled.

"Perhaps, hehe, he'll get you into a lot of trouble, just see," He said halfway, revealing a mysterious smile. Zhao Kuo's deeds are known to a lot in the army, but everyone covered it up in order not to publicize the ugliness of the family, and left the mainland to go to Christmas Island, which is far away from the emperor of the mountain, He Yu can be sure that Zhao Kuo will definitely do something surprising.

"Captain He Yu, congratulations, this time you are not only promoted, but also transferred to the Manchester City Garrison Command, and your future is limitless."

After giving a speech, Zhao Kuo didn't know when he had stepped off the stage, came to He Yu's side, and stretched out a hand in a friendly manner.

"Thank you, Major Zhao is not bad, this time it is also promoted, although Christmas Island is far away from the mainland, but it has become an economic center in Australia, and the bigwigs are paying more and more attention to this place, and your future is naturally bright."

He Yu smiled and complimented the other party, and shook hands with him, which was regarded as a formal acceptance of the other party's arrival.

Originally, Xiao Baitu proposed that in order to welcome Commander Zhao Kuo at the Christmas Island Hotel for him, he invited He Yu to attend together, but he refused on the grounds that he still had something to clean up, so he had to be accompanied by Xiao Baitu and others to welcome him.

Back in his room, He Yu was a little reluctant to put some things into his marching backpack, and suddenly there was a knock on the door. A few convex, convex sounds.

A dark-skinned, flat-headed sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy walked in touching his head.

"Sir, I heard that you will be transferred back to the mainland tomorrow, we don't like the new Chief Zhao today, at first glance, he hasn't even done the usual basic training, how can he be a commander."

The boy is a Ming immigrant, he was an orphan when he came, and there was no Ming at sixteen or seventeen, and there was only a small name called Silly Niu.

"Desheng, you also go back and pack your things, you go with me tomorrow, and ah, tell the other people who stay, give me a good listen to Commander Zhao for these two months, and they will be transferred back to the mainland in two months, and we will still be in the same unit at that time."

"Really, Brother He Yu," Desheng was excited, and even the commander was directly changed to Brother He Yu, for He Yu, a squad of soldiers stationed on Christmas Island was still very respectful: "I'll go and tell them the good news." ”
