Chapter 414: Preparation [2]
Durin drove out of the city early in the morning, and in a thick bush on the side of the road, about twenty kilometers from the city, he saw the man he needed to see, Colonel Gordon from the Imperial Capital Alert District.
Yesterday he contacted the deputy commander of the cordoned off and promised to personally donate a sum of money to set up a "Patriotic Military Foundation" to thank the brave soldiers who died heroically in the Great Patriotic War to defend the great empire, and to provide the necessary humanitarian care to the "soldiers" who are still serving. His Excellency the Deputy Commander thanked Durin for his kindness and praised his virtues. The communication between the two sides was very pleasant, and through the communication with His Excellency the Deputy Commander, Dührin realized that the army was not as comfortable as people imagined.
After the Navy became one, the military department not only gave the Navy a lot of targeted restrictions, but also monitored the movements of the Army. If even the army is corrupted by the power of capital, then the last weapons of the empire will fall into the hands of those merchants, so it will be difficult to get a lot of money, or other benefits. But Durin skillfully crossed this line of defense, and this little trick was not really a big deal at all.
Anyone, especially those who have ever held power, will be faced with an extremely unwilling thing to face in their later years, which is to lay down the power in their hands and hand over all the privileges they enjoy. If there is a party member, it is a little better, at least they can eat and drink behind the party, but the special profession of the soldier, who is ordered to be forbidden to join any party, will not have a good life after retirement.
Of course, those who have the ability can continue to enjoy various allowances and enjoy benefits and subsidies from other places, but for those generals who are not at the top, in their old age, in addition to sitting alone in front of the old house and basking in the sun, they are thinking about where to find some money.
The idea proposed by Dührin fits well with the situation of His Excellency the Deputy Commander, who is already sixty-two years old, and according to the rules of the Empire, he must retire and leave the army at the age of sixty-eight. He saved a little money, which was indeed a lot of money compared to an ordinary soldier, but for a general of his level, it was actually nothing.
Fortunately, Duhrin appeared, and after his retirement, His Excellency the Deputy Commander was not only able to serve as the honorary director of the "Patriotic Military Foundation", but also to continue to manage his own personal relationships, which was what His Excellency the Deputy Commander valued the most.
So Colonel Gordon, with 2,000 soldiers, was stationed in the field twenty kilometers outside the city of Otis, ready to support the city of Otis and suppress the rioting mob.
Before Gordon's departure, His Excellency the Deputy Commander had explained to him that he had to see with his own eyes that the "mob" did things that were harmful to the country and the people before they could use force to suppress them. If that doesn't happen, if those mobs that Doolin says don't do anything, then they can't do anything either.
It is not cost-effective to lose a military hat that has several years left for the sake of an honorary director of a foundation.
As he approached the camp, Doolin was spotted by two outposts and blocked in the road. After he explained his identity, one soldier went back to report to Colonel Gordon, while the other soldier pointed his gun at the ground in front of Durin, and watched him warily.
Fortunately, this unharmonious atmosphere dissolved when Colonel Gordon appeared, Colonel Gordon had brown hair and did not look like a pure-blooded Ogding, and the lines of his face were very hard, as if carved out of a knife.
"Hello, Mr. Mayor, I'm sorry for the unpleasant treatment you have been treated, but I hope you understand that this is our rule!", Gordon shook hands with Durin and invited him into the camp, explaining what had just happened as he went.
Durin was not angry, he felt that this was not a humiliation to him, the army should have its own rules and rigid dogmatic provisions, because the army is not a politician who can talk nonsense with his eyes open, nor is it a capitalist who can talk nonsense with his eyes open. He smiled and said he understood, which made Colonel Gordon feel very good about Durin.
As a colonel in the imperial capital alert area, Gordon's military rank as a colonel is actually far less popular than that of a remote and small army base. The top leaders of the old and new parties living in the imperial capital, the heads of major conglomerates, and all kinds of powerful capitalists are all objects that they cannot offend. It seems that everyone is still afraid of the military, but in fact, it is just to maintain each other's face. In the eyes of the old and new parties and capitalists, the army is a knife, and the knife does not need to have its own feelings, it only needs to be able to stab others in the back.
Once in the camp, Durin looked around and asked a question of his own, "Didn't you bring the car, do you need to get close to Otis before tomorrow's events?"
Gordon knew what Durin meant, and with a wave of his finger, two soldiers immediately ran into the bushes in the distance and opened a net used for camouflage and dotted with countless leaves. Under the net is an old military vehicle, which looks to be some years old. These military vehicles have not yet been included in the order of redressing, mainly because they can still be used, and military vehicles are not the main weapons of war, and it will be difficult for war to break out in the next two or three decades, so military enterprises have not carried out new research and development for military vehicles.
"Mr. Mayor, we are professional soldiers, so there is no need to worry about our side, at 9:05, we will definitely be able to arrive in the downtown area of Otis City on time!"
Durin was satisfied, he liked to communicate with the military, especially the slightly lower ones. The fact that these soldiers were able to reawaken their sense of autonomy after being brainwashed by the army shows that they have enough wisdom. At the same time, the special closed environment of the army makes them disdain to lie, unlike the staff officers and generals who have many fancy intestines.
"Is there anything I need help with, like food?" said Durin saw that the soldiers' breakfast was very simple, just a canned fish, a canned meat, and a piece of fruit and a palm-sized loaf, "I can gather some fresh cattle and sheep, or cigarettes or something." ”
Originally, Gordon wanted to refuse, but when he heard about the cigarette, he couldn't help but slide his Adam's apple. The salary of the army is not high, and compared with the living environment of the navy, which can mix food and clothing without ability, the army is much more pitiful. In recent years, the military department has also been increasing military spending on the army, but the main military expenditure has been spent on changing clothes, and not much has really fallen into the pockets of grassroots soldiers.
Seeing that Gordon did not refuse, Durin immediately understood, "I feel much more relieved to see you here, after all, I was also very flustered when I received a secret report that they planned to destroy the city." I hope it's just a false rumor, so that we can all save a little bit of things, so that I can go back and have some supplies brought over, and please add a little more food to everyone, after all, because I made you run so far. ”
Gordon said thank you, then accompanied Durin to say a few words and sent him off.
Upon returning to Otis, Durin immediately asked Natalie to get a cart of cigarettes and a cart of liquor to the location he had agreed with Colonel Gordon, and then he asked Dove to pick up someone at the station, an acquaintance, Savi.
Durin needed some new faces and daring, and at the same time not-so-noticeable guys, and these half-grown lads were clearly the right fit.
Savi didn't come with one, but fifty people, and Dove couldn't help but look at him a few more times when she received him. For more than three months, Savi has undergone rigorous militarized training in the naval base, and I don't know if it is because the children should be tall at this time, or because the training is really useful. Not only is he much stronger than before, but he has also become taller, his skin has tanned, and he has a certain momentum.
When he saw Doolin, Savi's military temperament suddenly disappeared, and he ran to Dorin's face with a cheer and hugged him, and then lay down on the sofa loosely, fanning the wind with his hands, and complaining, "Boss, don't you stay where you are? Aren't you hot?"
"Hot?", Durin sneered, "I live in a steamer every day, and I am not afraid of the heat for a long time. Saying that, he smiled and handed Savi a cigarette, when Savi was about to take out the lighter himself, but Durin moved his lighter in front of him, "You have almost a hundred people under your hand now, if you don't give you a promotion to team leader, I'm afraid you kid will complain about me." ”
"Thank you, boss!", he leaned over to the lighter and lit the cigarette on his mouth, without Haidt's excitement at all, nor Jose's smirk when they were promoted to team leader, he behaved very normally, and leaned forward, "I already knew that I could be promoted to team leader, otherwise how would those people obey me? What kind of work do you have to do this time?"
Durin rubbed his head and pushed him aside, his face gradually becoming serious, "There's a guy named Bucho here, he's ......"
"You want me to kill him?", Savi snapped.
Durin glared at him, everyone is a family when there are no outsiders, so he won't blame Savi for anything, "I'm talking about business, okay?", Savi's hippie smile on his face like Dover's also converged and became serious, "He plans to launch a strike to force me to bow my head, but I don't plan to do that, so the next step is your mission." Doolin walked over to the door and closed it softly, isolating the space.
The white clouds in the sky stopped and stopped, the sun went to the west without looking back, the sunset dotted the sky, and the streets of Otis City were crowded with more people.
It's just that these people are a little preoccupied, and some people are excited in their eyes, because there is a big event that is about to happen!
