Chapter 35: One Ear Rum

"You're mistaken."

Vito's reaction was quite quick, he showed a hint of surprise just right, and then said a little bewildered, "I just did what Mr. Heiko ordered, and I never deliberately acted like ......"

"I don't need to hear that."

Major Benjamin interrupted Vito's words, "Just think about it yourself, Branch 78 is the branch of Earl City, and some of the rules have been in place for many years, and it is not your turn to change them arbitrarily from outsiders, understand?" ”

His face was full of impatience, and he made it clear that he was disgusted by the recent reform of the base, and even a few nice words were missing.

Obviously, in the eyes of Major Benjamin, Vito does not yet have the right to talk to him on an equal footing, and these words are ostensibly addressed to Vito, but rather to Colonel Heiko, who is "behind the back".

Vito didn't turn his face to refute, just silently returned to the team.

He probably understood in his heart that Lieutenant Colonel Luffy, who wanted to give Heiko a dismount and directly find an excuse to avoid him, although he was not in the base, he must have arranged his henchmen before leaving, keeping an eye on the movements in the base, and might even arrange for someone to come out at any time to provoke trouble.

Otherwise, Benjamin, who has been fooling around all day and has not seen anyone for several days, would not have been so clear about what had happened in the base in the past two days, and would dare to release such faceless cruel words to Heiko in the air.

This scene also fell in the eyes of the assembled naval soldiers, and after two days of getting along, many soldiers who had a good impression of Vito were suddenly a little indignant and whispered in private.

"Hey, Benjamin, I don't usually see him once or twice in a few months, but I know I'm a major at this time."

"I only dare to bully Captain Vito, who is easy to talk to, I really have the opinion and ability to go to Colonel Heike."

"I'm full of alcohol, I guess I went to the bar last night to mix it all night, and I don't know if I'm ...... when I'm drunk now."

……

Obviously, although Benjamin was a major and was almost the base's second-in-command before Heiko's arrival, his popularity and prestige were quite limited, and he was a bit annoying.

Whether it is those recruits who still have naïve and pure beliefs, or old fritters who are used to being lazy, they don't treat this chief very well.

Vito was keenly aware of this, and at the same time he noticed that there were a few people in the crowd, with gloating expressions on their faces, as if they were happy to see their hot faces on their cold butts and being reprimanded by Benjamin.

This is probably the henchmen of Lieutenant Colonel Luffy's family, and the small report that Benjamin heard was beaten by these people, Vito retracted his gaze, and silently wrote down all the looks of these people in his heart.

He wasn't a grudge-holder, but he just felt that maybe in the next training, it was time for Seti to open a small stove for them and add some extra ingredients.

"Alright, all silent!"

Benjamin also faintly heard some discussions, but he didn't care, obviously he had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, so he directly turned back to the topic and gave an order in a cold voice:

"You have probably heard about what happened at the port, and now the specific situation is not clear, don't panic, everything will be implemented according to the base's emergency response plan!"

"The first and second teams stayed at the base to strengthen their defenses, the fourth and fifth teams followed me to the port to check the situation, and the sixth team divided into two routes, respectively, to inform the city hall and the city guards, move quickly, understand no!"

"Yes, Major!"

There was a sparse echo from below.

The combat team, which is the basic establishment of the navy, is generally led by a second lieutenant, the number of people is generally less than 100, and it is also divided into several squads, and the corresponding military rank of the squad leader is Cao Chang.

The 78 branch bases were incomplete, with a total of about 400 people, and according to the number of ensigns, they were divided into six combat teams.

At the moment, all five teams have been assigned their own tasks, and the only fourth team that is not mentioned is the same group of navies who accompanied Luffy to escort the pirates to the G-2 branch in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Now it seems that I am afraid that the unlucky fourth combat team is all more than lucky.

……

The four troop carriers pulled by snow lions have stopped at the gate of the base.

Unlike the kind of carriages sent by the Hansen family to pick up Heiko before, the carriages of these cars did not pay attention to comfort at all, everything was mainly based on capacity, and they were still open-air and unroofed, and one car could fit thirty or forty people enough.

This is clearly a local feature of Earle, allowing the base's soldiers to remain mobile on the snow-covered island and move quickly in case of an emergency.

It's just that the snow lions are suffering, Vito sits a few meters apart, and can hear them humming and panting along the road, fortunately, the base is only a dozen kilometers away from the port, if the distance is doubled several times, maybe you will have to die of exhaustion halfway.

Captain Ibuprofen followed him to the port, but instead of getting into the troop carrier, the guy was riding a very sassy white snowmobile and hoisting tightly behind the snow lion.

The exaggerated shape of steampunk and the billowing black smoke that puffed out of the exhaust pipe gave Vito a rather subtle sense of disobedience.

He looked at the old-fashioned rifles in the hands of the soldiers, and the surrounding buildings similar to the European Middle Ages, silently, the technology tree of this world is indeed outrageously crooked, and every time it can refresh his inherent cognition just right.

"My father bought this motorcycle for me, and it cost tens of millions of Baileys, and I can't afford it myself."

Seemingly afraid that people would think that he was a lonely, this young captain with a somewhat honest personality explained to Vito before getting into the car, "Actually, I would rather ride the snow lion, but my father insisted that even if these guys were tamed, they would still be beasts from the mountains, and they were not very safe......"

This statement is quite in line with the stubborn notions of the older generation, and Vito is not surprised that the supposedly famous doctor father of ibuprofen has undoubtedly experienced the time when he was harassed and attacked by wild beasts in the mountains when the walls were not built.

He is more interested in the old doctor's family background, and he can buy tens of millions of Baileys to buy a transportation tool for his son, let alone a doctor, I am afraid that in addition to the two major families, there are few rich people in the entire Earle Island who can have such a generous hand.

There was light snow in the sky along the way, which slightly affected the speed of the snow lion, but after twenty minutes, the snow lion cart pulling more than 100 people finally arrived at the port unimpeded.

Several naval soldiers stationed at the port had been waiting for a long time with anxious faces, and when they saw the people from the base coming, they hurriedly greeted Vito and the others without waiting for Vito and others to get out of the car.

It was at this time, after seeing Luffy, who was temporarily placed in the sentry, that everyone realized that the matter seemed to be much more serious than they imagined.

The lieutenant colonel, who was accidentally found and rescued by coastal fishermen, was lying on the bed at the moment, still unconscious, his uniform was tattered, and blood stains could be seen everywhere.

And the right ear was uprooted, leaving only a bloody blur, which was simply miserable.
