Chapter 109: Confrontation

At this time, no matter how bold Marven was, he couldn't help but get nervous. If he was just pointed at a gun, it would be fine, on the train behind him, there were also two thousand soldiers of the imperial capital garrison, and he would not be weak at all if there was a conflict.

But the problem is that it was Hekarim Novitin.

Marvin is a veteran, in other words, a ruffian with a high rank. Marven participated in the Silesian War ten years ago, when he was only a big soldier, but, just like that war created the glory of the Marquis of Metternich and others, Marven also reached the pinnacle of his life through his exploits on the battlefield. Originally, with his background and no background background, it was difficult to become a school officer at this age, but even if he had a good fate and got the opportunity to be transferred to the Ministry of the Interior, he was able to replace his epaulettes.

For people like Marven, there are two kinds of people who are most afraid, one is the type like Viscount Ernest who is intimidating at a glance, and the other is the person whose official position is so big that he can crush him.

Wei Ting just belongs to the latter kind of people, although his two repeated military career is basically invalid, and there will never be a chance to be promoted again, but he is a general after all, and he still commands the Southern Army of tens of thousands of people, even if Viscount Ernest stands here, he will be overwhelmed by Wei Ting's military rank.

"Your Excellency General," Marven raised his hand and saluted to Weiting in the face of the fierce Viting, "We have received a joint order from His Royal Highness Alexander and the War Department that we must arrive in Deweide before noon the day after tomorrow, so we ......"

"So what?" Wei Ting coldly interrupted Marven's words, his eyes were devoid of any emotion, as if he was looking at the enemy on the battlefield, "I received orders from Marshal Rudolph, before His Highness Alexander ascended the throne, Marshal Rudolph was still the supreme commander of the whole army, and his orders were the highest priority. ”

"But ......"

"Lizheng!" Wei Ting suddenly shouted.

Marven subconsciously stepped and kicked his legs and stood up straight.

"Major, perhaps you have been in the Ministry of the Interior for so long that you have forgotten the rules of the army. Wei Ting stepped forward and pulled up Henry, who had just fallen, "You just have to listen while the chief speaks. ”

Wei Ting's words made Marven very embarrassed, so he had to stand in place, neither daring to continue to move forward, nor retreating. And Wei Ting seems to be intent on maintaining this situation, and he didn't make a sound, just let Marven stand like that, being laughed at by a group of soldiers of the Southern Legion.

"I'm going to see Marshal Rudolph's order. ”

The voice from behind him made Marven breathe a sigh of relief, no matter what, with Viscount Ernest coming out, he at least didn't have to stand so awkwardly.

Wei Ting's gaze went beyond Marven to Ernest who was walking slowly. He couldn't help frowning, when they were in Landstown, they were enemies and later comrades-in-arms, but this relationship never gave the two a chance to meet, and it was only now that Weiting saw Ernest's true face for the first time.

The face is not very prominent, and the appearance is decent. Like most men of his age, Ernest had a whisker on his lips that added a little bit of majesty to him. Although his appearance is not outstanding, Wei Ting can still feel the unique temperament of Ernest, indifference, which brings majesty, because he cannot be approached, so the imagination of this person will always be completely based on his surface, guessing whether he is made of ice cubes from the inside out.

"Your Excellency Marshal is in Nanterre, so it is naturally impossible for him to send a written order, and if you question it, ask Marshal Rudolph yourself. ”

Vitting's answer was almost identical to Henry's, which made Ernest even more suspicious. Marshal Rudolph's dislike for Vitting was seen by Ernest himself, and it stands to reason that he had just come from Marshal Rudolph's side, and if Marshal really had such an order, why didn't he just explain himself before he set out, but conveyed it from an untrusted Vitting?

Ernest's white silk fingers rubbed against each other, and he remembered the tone of Vittin just now, especially the sentence "Before His Highness Alexander ascended the throne", which always made people feel that Viting, who should be worried about his future now, seemed to have some backing, and his confidence was much stronger.

Is it Beria? Ernest thought, since Vittin was originally rebelled by the third lesson of the third lesson, it would not be surprising if he had any connection with Beria.

Retracting his thoughts, Ernest raised his eyes and looked at Wei Ting, the age difference between the two was not too much, but the situation at this time was indeed two extremes. Ernest has received a clear commendation order for his exploits in the First Battle of Landstown, and after the war, the royal family will consider awarding him a real knighthood, so it can be said that Ernest is now the time to rise to the top. In contrast, although the status of Weiting is higher than that of Ernest, because of his two defections, the future is basically hopeless.

However, Weiting did not see any smug look on Ernest's face, not even the slightest expression, which made people wonder what this rising star was thinking.

After being silent for a long time, Ernest decisively turned around and walked back to get into the car, but Marven saw the chief's actions and immediately followed.

"Have the conductor prepare to start the train. Ernest didn't look back, and he couldn't lower his voice, and at the same time that Marven heard the command, the Weiting behind also heard Ernest's words.

"Colonel Jerichault," cried out Vitin, "will you disobey the orders of His Excellency the Marshal?"

"If they stop it, don't worry about it, just crash into it. Ernest spoke in a calm tone as if he hadn't heard Vitin's shouts.

"Bastard. Ernest's ignorance of himself still aroused the anger that had been nesting in Weiting's heart, and he didn't have to worry too much about it now anyway, so he simply acted, "Stop me!"

Vitin quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist, almost as fast as he had killed Raymond. However, when he shouted that sentence, Ernest also quickly turned around, and when Vitin pointed his gun at Ernest, Ernest also aimed at Vitin.

The confrontation between the two commanders also startled the soldiers of the Southern Legion, and their reaction was far less than Ernest's, and after being stunned for a while, they raised their guns in hindsight and swayed at Ernest and Marven. This is simply to help Weiting, these ordinary soldiers do not have the courage to shoot and kill a colonel, especially since the rank of this colonel is still within the system of the Ministry of the Interior.

Seeing that the other party put on a posture, Marven was not to be outdone, and pulled out his pistol to face the soldiers behind. He knows very well that he must not show weakness now, and he must stand up to his boss, otherwise there will be absolutely no good fruit for him to eat in the future.

Unfortunately, Henry was caught in the middle of his way of raising his gun. Seeing that the guy who was pushing himself to the ground just now suddenly pointed a gun at him, the young officer immediately panicked, and subconsciously pulled out a gun and pointed it at Marven.

Both sides pointed guns at each other, as if a conflict was on the verge of breaking out.

"You should put your gun down," Vittin said, staring at Ernest, "and don't forget, I'm a general, and you're only a colonel." ”

"We are not a system. Ernest also looked at Wei Ting, there was no trace of cowardice in his flat expression, even if there were more people on the other side, "You don't have the qualifications to order me." ”

Wei Ting frowned, he knew that Beria now wanted Ernest to die here, so that he, as Minister of the Interior, could justifiably take the Imperial Capital Guard back in his hands. But at the same time, Wei Ting also knew that if he really did this, then not only would Belial not give him the corresponding reward after the incident, but he would happily dispose of himself and let Wei Ting carry the black cauldron. So although the Viting seems to have a great advantage now, there are nearly 10,000 72nd Divisions in Port Leon, but he does not dare to act rashly, Konuet has Baron O'Brien's Munster army, Lanz Town has the Yanwan Army, and there is also the Philip family in Port Leon, if it really fights, the Viting who is being targeted by Marshal Rudolph will only be wiped out in an instant.

At present, Weiting is in a dilemma, on the one hand, he needs to complete Beria's request to intercept Ernest and the Imperial Capital garrison, and on the other hand, Ernest's tough attitude makes it difficult for him to attack.

Glancing at the train behind Ernest, it was a little strange that Ernest came over alone without a single soldier. Where did he get his confidence, or did he already see something?, Wei Ting thought to himself, but he remained silent on the surface.

"Viscount Jericho," called out to Ernest at Vitting, "if this stalemate continues, it will only delay your journey, and even on foot, you can be there before noon the day after tomorrow - as long as you set out now." So don't insist on it like this, it's not good for us. ”

"We've got heavy weapons to transport by train," Marvin shouted in place of Ernest, "and we're not going to be able to do our job with these bulky things." Since His Excellency General wants an ending that is beneficial to both parties, please take a step back. ”

Wei Ting's gaze only lingered on Marven for a few seconds before moving his gaze to Ernest again. He heard something special in Marven's voice, as he said, taking a step back is a solution that is beneficial to both sides.

"I can give your troops five hundred horses," Wei Ting glanced at Henry, and the young officer reacted after a slight doubt, and raised his hand to signal his men to lower their guns as well, "but you must also give up the train, so that we can make a difference." ”

Ernest thought for a moment, then put away his pistol. "Yes, but I want the Philip family to bear witness to this, and they will send a formal report to Dew. ”

Werting breathed a sigh of relief from Ernest's relenting, and he put the gun back in the magazine, and the tension between the two sides quickly dissipated.

"There is no problem at all, and I will immediately send someone to find someone from the Philip family. Until then, please get off the bus. ”

Ernest glanced at Marven, and Major Marvin, who had been following Ernest for several years, immediately understood, trotted back to the carriage, and asked the soldiers to come down with weapons and equipment.

Only the two commanders stared at each other in the cool night breeze, and although the two sides eventually compromised with each other, Ernest and Weiting knew that the other did not trust them at all, just as they did not trust the other.

"While in Landstown," Vittin began, "I was taken care of by your fire. ”

Ernest heard the pun in Vitin's words, but he didn't let up because of it.

"I hope I don't want to see it on the battlefield anymore. ”

"Me too. ”

Although they said that, both of them actually knew in their hearts that a reunion on the battlefield was inevitable.
