Chapter 66: Quarterly Military Exercise (7)
This time, without waiting for Situ Jin to step forward to take Peggy's initiative to hand over the signal canister, Murray, who was standing next to Peggy, had already taken the lead in taking the signal canister in Peggy's hand.
Looking at the signal tube in his hand, Murray's eyes flashed with excitement, speaking of which, although this is not the first time Murray has participated in the quarterly military exercise, this is the first time he has snatched the signal tube from another battalion.
Of course, it wasn't just Murray, it was a new experience for most of the people at Camp 13.
In the past two years, the [13th Battalion] has participated in at least seven or eight quarterly military exercises, but there has never been a time when the [13th Battalion] has snatched the signal canister from other battalions, not because the [13th Battalion] is really that bad, but because everyone doesn't want to cause trouble.
In normal times, people in the army take the [13th Battalion] as an outlier, and when it comes to military exercises, of course, everyone will not give up the opportunity to humiliate this outlier.
Therefore, every time the quarterly military exercise, the other battalions will unite to kick the [13th Battalion] out of the exercise first, which is already a tacit understanding formed by everyone invisibly. In the face of this tacit understanding formed by other battalions on their side, the [13th Battalion] naturally hides if it can, how can it take the initiative to attack other battalions?
However, even so, the [13th Battalion] did not escape the fate of the top three being kicked out of the exercise in every quarterly military exercise.
If there is anything that Situ Jin's appearance has brought to [13 Battalion], it must be said that it will not be enough to say in one day, but among all the things he brought, there is one thing that is extremely important, and that is courage.
It's like Murray, if it was before, when he heard what Fox said to Abbott, he would definitely not say that it was a big deal to not be a soldier, but now he can say such things without care, not because he is really fearless, but because he has regained the courage that existed in his heart.
Of course, a large part of courage comes from self-confidence. Although I knew that I had become different from before, I quickly eliminated the strength of the two battalions of [1st Battalion] and [2nd Battalion] with the strength of one battalion, which made everyone in [13th Battalion] have a new understanding of their own strength, and correspondingly, everyone slowly regained the confidence they had lost.
"Battalion commander?" Murray, who had got the signal canister, turned his gaze to Situ Jin, obviously asking for instructions on what to do next.
Situ Jin threw the signal canister of the 1st Battalion that he had just taken out from Fox to Murray, and said, "Let's ring it together!"
Murray caught the signal canister thrown by Situ Jin with one hand, nodded, and then opened the lids of the two canisters twice.
As Murray pulled the canister apart, two red colored light bullets erupted from the canister and then rushed straight into the sky above the jungle.
"Bang!
Two signal light bombs exploded in mid-air, and then, a very large red number "1" and a large red number "2" appeared in mid-air, which means that from this moment on, the 1st and 2nd battalions have lost their qualifications for the exercise.
On the high platform in the center of the North Camp, because Ferdinand and Theresia did not leave, the others still sat on it and did not move.
In fact, even in the first few years of the quarterly military exercises, although the royal family would basically attend the opening ceremony of the military exercises, it was only a formality. After all, the entire military exercise will be carried out for three days, and the exercise will be conducted in the jungle, and people outside will not see anything, so not long after the start of the exercise, the big names will leave one after another, and when they appear again, it is usually at the end of the exercise.
Today, however, Ferdinand and Theresia didn't seem to have any plans to leave early.
"It's only been less than two hours since this exercise started, and two battalions have been kicked out?" On the high platform, the commander of the [2nd Brigade] Marz looked surprised.
"And the [1st Battalion] and [2nd Battalion] who were kicked out were actually kicked out?!These two battalions are among the best elite battalions in our entire North Battalion, how can they be so fast?"
This time it was a short, big-eyed middle-aged man who spoke, this person was Picole, the commander of the North Battalion [1st Brigade], and before he finished his words, he saw Charles standing under the high platform, he subconsciously glanced at Chaplin who was sitting not far away, and saw that Chaplin had no expression on his face, and Picol did not speak again.
At this moment, if you want to say who is in the worst mood on the central field, it really has to be Charles, less than two hours after the exercise began, and two of the five battalions under his jurisdiction were killed at once.
The main thing is that at this time, the two most important people in his entire life, Chaplin and Theresia, are still present, which makes Charles feel that he has lost face. Although he was well cultivated, Charles's face still darkened significantly, he subconsciously glanced at Theresia on the high platform, and his hands unconsciously began to clench into fists.
"Imperial sister, do you believe that these two battalions must have been killed by the [13th battalion]?" Contrary to Charles's displeasure, the second prince Ferdinand was in a pretty good mood after seeing the two signal light bombs in the air.
Theresia looked ahead and said, "You have a lot of confidence in [Camp 13]. ”
Ferdinand smiled: "Of course, after all, it is the battalion led by Situ Jin, and that guy Charles is completely incomparable to Situ Jin!" Thinking of the other people in the venue, especially General Chaplin, Ferdinand's voice was already extremely low.
Ferdinand's intention in saying this was obvious, that is, to try to elevate Situ Jin and at the same time suppress Charles.
Ferdinand also knew a little about Theresia and Charles, but because he didn't know much about Charles's personality before, he never intervened in the affairs between Charles and Theresia.
But since the last time he had seen Charles in Stuart's tent, Charles's hypocritical appearance had left a deep impression on Ferdinand's mind.
In addition, Situ Jin and Theresia were engaged soon after, and Ferdinand decided in his heart that only Situ Jin could be worthy of his royal sister Theresia, so he didn't want any more things to happen between Theresia and Charles.
Hearing Ferdinand's words, Theresia did not speak.
At the same time, on a low slope in the jungle, a young man leaned against the only big tree on the slope, the man was tall and straight, with golden blonde hair on his head, and a pair of beautiful blue eyes, which made him look handsome and noble.
Looking at the two signal light bombs that were launched into the air, a playful smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth: "Interesting! Not long after the exercise began, the [1st Battalion] and [2nd Battalion] were kicked out of the field, who did it?"
Not long after the man finished talking to himself, a soldier ran up from under the slope, gave a military salute to the man, and then said: "Battalion commander, the people of the [3rd Battalion] shouted in front, saying that their battalion commander wants to talk to you. ”
