Chapter 38: Watch the Sunrise with Me
Early in the morning, Zhong Yi yawned and walked out of the command room, Hans and his adjutant, a young officer named Byron, had been waiting for a long time. Today, the room built next to the sub-base's command room has become the commander's reception room and conference room.
Zhong Yi was a little surprised, since the battle began, Hans has not appeared, only yesterday, when the indigenous elders gathered people to help the front line transport ammunition, the 101st regiment sent a company to help, without carrying any weapons. Now that I came to the conference room so early, it seems that I have been waiting for a long time, Zhong Yi pinched his nose, we Han people have an old saying: nothing to do and be attentive .......
"Good morning, Hans!" There is some drumming in my heart, but the smile on my face must be kind, this is a compulsory course for politicians, and Zhong Yi has considerable potential in this regard.
"Good morning, Commander, sorry to bother you so early. Oh, this is my adjutant, Byron? Lieberman. ”
"Good morning, Commander!" The young and handsome officer immediately saluted.
"Hello, Captain Byron." As soon as he woke up, his military uniform was crooked, and he didn't have a military hat, and this gift seemed very awkward, but Hans and Byron didn't see it, and their faces were still very serious.
"Have you had breakfast? Oh, sorry, I don't have anything to eat here, we can go to the cafeteria in a moment, and hopefully they'll leave us something! The conditions here are too simple, and when we get to Perth, we must improve our living conditions......" Ignoring the increasingly strange expressions of the two, Zhong Yi said to himself.
"Oh, Commander, I want to ...... We thought of it together, and I ......."
Zhong Yi smiled, "Hans, let me guess, this lieutenant of yours, Captain Byron, is from the Lieberman family in Perth, right?" The Lieberman family, who owned the Swan Valley Winery and owned the Swan Valley winery, came to Western Australia in the twenties of the 19th century, owned a large area of vineyards and farms, and settled in Perth for more than 100 years? Turning his head, Zhong Yi showed a harmless smile, "Captain Byron, am I right?" ”
"Commander......" Byron was already speechless, and Hans was also nervous.
"Hehe, nothing strange, two, since I plan to stay in Australia with my comrades, stay in Western Australia, then I must have some understanding of the situation here, and I have no ill will. You know, I'm not a racist, in our Han Chinese parlance...... Follow the local customs, as long as you don't deliberately make enemies of me, then you can be friends! ”
Perhaps Hans and Byron were not yet able to understand the meaning of following the local customs, but this did not prevent them from being extremely surprised in their hearts, and there was a hint of ...... Fear. Yes, it's fear, and before you know it, is the intelligence network of the Red Guard already so powerful? Isn't that ......, the two looked at each other, and they both saw the horror in both eyes.
Hans's rank of brigadier general does not seem to work very well here, needless to say Comrade Commander, even with his adjutant, who also seems to be dominated by young captains.
"Commander, it seems that you already know the meaning of me and the regimental commander coming here!"
"Oh, I'm not a god, oh, in your terms, I'm not a god, I'm not omniscient." The installation of X is successful, and the data of the bird of paradise is very accurate. The proud Zhong Yi made a joke, and the effect was good, this little joke made Hans and Byron, who had been in a tense state since the beginning of the conversation, relax.
Or is Hans more mature, he knows that Zhong Yi will not always go around in circles with them here, and the front line is still fighting, "Commander, as you said, Byron is indeed a descendant of the Lieberman family, and Luke, the head of the Lieberman family?" Lieberman is Byron's father, and it was Viscount Luke who asked to meet you! ”
"Oh? I'm curious, Hans, what is your relationship with the Liebermanns? Such a question would be rude in the West, but Hans was undoubtedly accustomed to the Eastern habits of the commanders and Red Guards.
Without any dissatisfaction, Hans replied seriously: "My father worked at the Swan Valley Winery, and the family's farm was a reward for his retirement, and my military journey was also helped by the Lieberman family!" ”
Zhong Yi suddenly realized, no wonder in the battle to capture Kalgoorlie, Hans surrendered so easily, it turned out that it was similar to Hebar, their army was all family-raised, private troops belonging to the family, and not really loyal to the Australian Federation.
"Byron, what does your father want to talk to me about?" With Hebar's example, Zhong Yi attaches great importance to these rich second generations, and their influence on the family is definitely not small.
The young captain looked ashamed, but his military experience still made him habitually answer the commander's question immediately, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm only the second son in the family, and my brother is the heir recognized by the family, and I have no right to participate in the family's decisions at present." ”
Oh, it's not the prince yet! Do you want to make a good show of ten dragons to win the heir? In the previous life, I didn't watch less of those Qing palace dog blood dramas in my spare time, and it was best to jump out of a princess for us to tune. Drama ha! pinched his nose, and a rather playful smile appeared under Zhong Yi's face, but the two "elder brothers and generals" next to him couldn't guess it.
"Hans, please tell Patriarch Luke for me, I am looking forward to the meeting with the Burliman family, but at the moment our army is fighting a tough defensive battle, and you should know the combat strength of the second division, so let's put the meeting in Perth! When we have captured Perth, I will invite Sir Luke to dinner. ”
Without waiting for Hans's answer, he grabbed the camouflage steel helmet on the conference table and strode out. Hans and Byron were full of disappointment, thinking that this attack of the second division would create a rift between the commander and the Smolgun family, but now it seems that the participation of Hebar and the cavalry battalion in the battle played a considerable role, and the commander still did not give up on the Smolgun family.
"Commander, the 101st regiment requests to participate in the battles at the front!" Seeing that Zhong Yi was about to walk out of the door, Hans hurriedly shouted.
"Going to war?" Zhong Yi stopped and turned around, the mild morning sun passed through the door that had been opened, and Zhong Yi was gently embraced in it, making it impossible to see his face clearly. "Hans, the 101st Regiment can keep order in Kalgoorlie, and today we have other troops in the battle. By the way, Byron, I remember that the first place in Australia to see the sun was called Byron Bay, and I hope you can accompany me to see it. ”
"Huh? Commander, it seems that we underestimated the ambitions of the commander! The captain muttered thoughtfully.
"Oh? Byron, you mean...... "Hans was a pure military man, and he was much less politically sensitive.
"Captain, do you know where Byron Bay is?"
"To the east, from Sydney...... Yes? You're saying the Commander isn't just about WA, he's going to want ......"
"Yes, he invited me to accompany him to Byron Bay to watch the sunrise, because he wanted ...... All of Australia. ”
