Chapter Thirty-Seven: One Step Away
The rank of Major General.
The glittering epaulettes on Raglan's shoulders made it clear to everyone present that he was an Imperial general.
In Kareni City, where the Third Army was stationed, the people who could hold the rank of major general were undoubtedly the core management of the military department, and they at least held the fate of more than 10,000 people in their hands.
Vega was indeed taken aback.
It's not just the oppression brought by the ranks, but also the mountain-like magic on the other side.
"Report to the general. ”
Wei Jia stood upright: "The acting company commander of the 232nd Company of the 232nd Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 7th Division, Xiaguan, is acting under the secret order of the regimental headquarters at the city level, and the specific order is not disclosed by the military department, and I also ask the commander to forgive me." ”
"What?"
Raglan's face changed: "When did that guy Alcott receive the city-level top secret mission from the military department, why is there no rumor about this matter at all, is His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief ready to promote Alcott?"
"Not true. ”
Raglan looked at Vega: "What kind of international joke is this an international joke when you say that you are under a city-level top-secret order from the regimental headquarters?"
"The lower official is just acting on orders. Vega replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Raglan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, according to the regulations, I won't just ask about your task, anyway, tomorrow everything will be revealed, if it is really your regimental headquarters acting without authorization, I'm afraid that Alcott will not be able to protect you, and even you will be implicated, I will not care about this matter for the time being, let's go down first." ”
Raglan was a little irritable.
As the commander of the 5th Division, he didn't know that there was an army carrying out city-level tasks, and now he was eager to know whether the headquarters of the 3rd Regiment issued the order without authorization or whether the commander of the 7th Division, Orcott, received the order from the military headquarters.
If it is an order from the military department......
Either he's been pushed out of decision-making, or Alcott is about to rise to the top. Either way, there was enough headache for him, because he and Alcott were already in a competitive relationship.
Rubbed his temples.
As soon as Raglan put down his thoughts, he realized that Vega had not left with anyone: "Warrant Officer, why haven't you left yet?"
"Xia Guan did not complete the task. Vega replied firmly.
"Mission?"
Raglan frowned, and then his face became a little iron-clad again, "Could it be that you have been tasked with killing these children?"
Vega honestly replied, "It's just one of them. ”
"Bastard!"
Raglan grabbed Vega's collar directly, lifted him up and said, "Warrant Officer, please tell me, when did killing a group of ten-year-old children rise to the level of a city-level mission, I've never heard of such a ridiculous city-level mission, are you fooling me?"
"The lower officials don't dare. ”
"Get out of here!"
Raglan threw Vega straight towards the door.
Even though Vega was disgraced, he still stood up and said firmly: "Your Excellency General, the subordinate officer is under the secret order of the regimental headquarters at the city level to carry out the corresponding tasks, the military order is like a mountain, and the mission will be achieved." ”
Raglan laughed angrily: "Okay, good, good military order is like a mountain, and the mission will be achieved." ”
He came out of his body with his long sword and landed on Vega's neck: "Now either you get out of here, or I will kill you with a sword." ”
"The lower officials are willing to sacrifice their hearts for the glory of the empire. Vega's immature voice was unwavering.
As Vega's voice fell, the soldiers of the 232nd Company did not hesitate to aim their spears at Raglan, who was a major general: "We are willing to sacrifice our hearts for the glory of the Empire." “
The Imperial Army was loyal to the Empire and loyal to the commands.
As long as it is not treason and disobeys the orders of the commander-in-chief, then all the soldiers will resolutely obey the orders of their immediate commander, even if the other party is a general, even if the trip will definitely die, they will not hesitate for a moment.
This time, Raglan was stunned.
If an adult officer made such a move, he could certainly understand it, and as the general of the Third Army, he naturally could not really kill an Imperial officer, and if there was such a loyal officer, he would appreciate rather than blame.
But it's too weird to put on a child.
It's not just weird.
It is quite strange for a child of about ten years old to be an Imperial officer, he does not know when the Empire has fallen to the point where it is necessary to send a child to battle, and this child is not afraid of death in the face of his threat?
Look at the street child who pees his pants, that's what a child should behave.
But the young officer in front of him didn't.
This is not a child, this is simply a war machine cultivated by the Empire.
"Presumptuous. ”
A shout of rage suddenly broke the atmosphere, and Raglan's guard arrived.
Seeing that Raglan was surrounded, the guards quickly dropped their bags of clothes and blocked Raglan in front of him.
They pointed their spears at Vega and the others, and the captain of the guard shouted angrily, "Call your commander, I want to see which bastard gave you the order to aim your weapons at the Imperial generals." ”
"The lower officials don't dare. ”
Vega immediately made his position clear: "The subordinate officer is acting under the secret order of the regimental headquarters at the city level, and he is definitely not an enemy of His Excellency the General, and I also ask His Excellency the General to understand the righteousness and not be embarrassed anymore." ”
The captain of the guard did not overstep, and he looked at Raglan.
Raglan's face was cloudy, he didn't want to violate the regulations of the Imperial Army, and on the other hand, he didn't want Vega to kill the more than ninety children, and the scene was at a stalemate.
"Call the highest commander of your regimental headquarters. ”
Raglan put away his sword, no longer embarrassed Vega, the officer who had been ordered to do so.
"Yes. ”
Vega immediately instructed the adjutant to go to the regimental headquarters to report the situation.
At the same time, Vega was also secretly relieved to see the long sword being put away, and what he was waiting for was the other party's words.
If he retreats without authorization, it will be a violation of the order of the regimental headquarters, and if he continues to stay, he is afraid that this general who does not know where he came from will deliberately block it, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to be able to kick the ball to the regimental headquarters at this time.
That's when it happened.
Bray, who was still trembling in fear before, suddenly got up and rushed towards the back door on the first floor, because this position was originally close to the back door, he was about to escape from the house in the blink of an eye.
"Stop, stop. ”
Vega pointed at Bray and rushed in the direction of Bray, this task was to take the spy organization by surprise, if a bug escaped, then it was definitely possible to cause a butterfly effect.
Due to the fact that he had to cross Raglan through the back door, Vega moved, and so did Raglan's guards.
They don't care what the task is, Vega dares to approach their commander, as a guard, they naturally need to replace the commander to block all possible threats.
"It's too late. ”
When Vega saw that Bray was about to walk out of the room, he put down one of the guards, snatched his spear from their hands and threw it at Bray.
Wow.
The spear was picked up by Raglan halfway through, who always believed that the children were innocent, and Bray ran away out of fear, so he naturally did not allow Vega to kill a frightened child in front of him.
"You guys go and bring the kids back. ”
Raglan stopped the guards who were preparing to teach Vega a lesson, and gave the order to bring Bray back.
"Yes, Master. ”
The captain of the guard glared at Vega, then led the men towards the back door.
Bang.
Halfway through, an explosion rang out outside the back door.
With this explosion, a brilliant firework rose into the night sky.
This one firework has not yet been extinguished, and another firework has risen from a different place, less than 5 seconds apart.
Bang bang bang......
The butterfly effect takes effect.
Led by the first fireworks, various fireworks of various colors have risen in various dark corners of Jeonbuk District, and these fireworks are spreading one after another to the whole of Kareni with the momentum of beacon fire.
