Chapter 164: Is This Blackmail
Early the next morning, Muyang's communication soldiers whistled and all assembled.
"Captain Claire, leave a platoon to stay in the position, everyone else will go with me to the regimental headquarters, we are going to pick up supplies today." Mu Yang said loudly.
"It's Sir, the fourth platoon is left behind, Bolton. Second Lieutenant Rayvest was in charge of the security of the position, and the others were regrouped and went to the trenches. Claire gave the order.
The soldiers began to move, and they all moved out of the ladder and climbed up, and they were able to stay on the ground for a while, even if they were to move things, it was a hundred times better than in the dark mouse hole, and the selected soldiers were very happy, and they were able to go outside to have a look, maybe at the regiment headquarters, and see one or two women.
Claire came to Muyang's side and whispered: "Company commander, you bring so many people, you don't want to rob it directly, then you will be punished." ”
Mu Yang puffed out a puff of cigar smoke, looked at the soldiers who were scrambling to climb up, and said, "With Aite's letter, I think Major Eugene will be interested." ”
Claire gave a look of surprise.
Muyang also climbed out of the trench, to be honest, the trench is really not a fucking good place, not to mention the poor living conditions, it is the kind of aggrieved feeling, which makes people unbearable.
"Assemble the team, let's go."
At the sound of the order, nearly 100 soldiers lined up neatly and began to march towards the regimental headquarters a few miles away, even if their feet stepped on the mud on the road and dirty their shoes and trouser legs, the soldiers were still elated and high-spirited.
I don't know who first sang the song "The British Grenadiers" (March of the British Grenadiers). The song is the most famous and longest-running infantry march in Britain, dating back to the 17th century.
“SometalkofAlexander,andsomeofHercules.”
“OfHectorandLysander,andsuchgreatnamesasthese.”
“Butofalltheworldsgreatheroes,theresnonethatcancompare.”
“Withatow,row,row,row,row,row,totheBritishGrenadiers.”
People respect Alexander. Worship Hercules,
Hector Lishanda. The same is true for the name of the hero.
Among the heroes of the world, there is no one who can compare with him.
Only I am in a row and in a row. Britannia grenadiers.
The soldiers were arranged to wait outside the quartermaster department, and the platoon commanders were responsible for managing it, and Muyang and Claire walked into the door of the quartermaster department with their legs raised.
"Major Eugene, we're meeting again." With a smile on his face, Muyang greeted Major Eugene behind his desk.
"Major Williams, I already said yesterday, the military supplies have been distributed, and there are no extra supplies for you, what are you going to do today." Eugene was a little annoyed by this pestering Williams. Said in an unkind tone.
Mu Yang's face remained unchanged, "I'm sending you a letter today." Muyang took out a letter from his arms and raised it in his hand.
"Whose letter is it to me, and why is it in your hands?" Eugene asked with an unkind face, thinking that Muyang had taken his letter to threaten him.
"No, no, it's not your letter, it's a letter sent to me by my friend."
"Major Williams. Did you come here today to tease me, and if so, I think you did, okay. I have work to do, please leave my office. Eugene said, pointing to the door.
Eugene had already listed Muyang as the least popular person, and he had already made up his mind in his heart. The next time supplies are distributed, he will take Williams's company. They were deducted from their rations, although they were not worth much. But who let this uninteresting Major Williams mess with himself?
"I think you'd better read this letter and say these things again, knowing that this letter is Alan. Colonel Swift's letter, in which you are specifically mentioned, Major Eugene. Mu Yang said in a calm tone.
Eugene heard Alan. Swift's name immediately stood up, and just wanted to snatch the letter from Mu Yang's hand, when he suddenly stopped, changed to a flattering tone, and said cautiously: "Joseph, is it Colonel Allen's letter, you just said that you are friends?" ”
"See for yourself." Muyang didn't want to be bored with this guy, so he threw the letter directly on the desk.
The letter is indeed Alan. Swift's reply, Eugene has seen Allen countless times. Colonel Swift's signature, knowing his notes, and besides, there is Allen's private seal on it, which can't be wrong.
The beginning of the letter is a greeting to Muyang, the tone is very close, like an old friend for many years, and it is also a very close relationship, inviting Muyang to take time to find him at the division headquarters, and he will prepare wine and gifts for Muyang.
Then he talked about the matter of the army, and persuaded Mu Yang again, the danger on the front line If Mu Yang wants to, he hopes that he will serve in the quartermaster department of the division headquarters, and Allen will arrange everything, and only hope that Mu Yang will stay away from danger.
At the end of the letter, Major Eugene was indeed mentioned, but the tone was not so good, Aite told Muyang to let him go to Eugene again, and told Eugene that Muyang was his friend, the closest friend, and if Eugene dared to withhold Muyang's supplies, Allen would not mind changing the West Yorkshire Regiment to a quartermaster.
Eugene finished reading the letter in his hand, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead, he put it into the envelope again, and then took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and laughed at himself in his mouth: "This damn weather in France is really hot." ”
"Major Eugene, I'm not here to discuss the weather with you, I want to receive a company's supplies today, I don't know if the Quartermaster Department has it." Muyang looked at Eugene and asked.
"Yes, of course there is, I'll go and prepare, you even have 124 people now, and I will give you the full amount according to the standard of 124 people." Eugene didn't dare to slack off, and quickly replied.
"No, we have 152 people now, and you have to pay according to this standard." Muyang said.
"When did your company become full, why don't I know, did your company go to recruit again yesterday?" Eugene asked curiously.
"No, we still have 28 laborers, and now that they have been shot, they have to be treated like soldiers, so they also have a piece of supplies." Mu Yang said with certainty.
Eugene's eyes widened, is this blackmail, Chiguoguo's blackmail.
In Eugene's thoughts, he never believed that Muyang would really give them supplies to those laborers, but he was just looking for a reason to ask for more. But this excuse is too bad, Eugene has never heard of the army will distribute supplies to those laborers according to the standards of soldiers.
But what can I do now, with Alan. Swift pressed on it, and he could only admit it.
You must know that although the quartermaster is under dual management, it is mainly under the management of the logistics department of the General Staff. Swift wants to remove him, it's just a matter of words.
The quartermaster is a good errand, if you don't fight, you have oil and water, and the troops below have to look at their faces, Eugene doesn't want to lose the position of quartermaster, if he is allowed to go to the battlefield, he estimates that he will be the first to die in a battle.
