Chapter 32: The Pride of Gold

Hearing Charles's words, Fowler couldn't help but show a hint of pride: "Don't say that! I'm just using good steel on the blade." ”

Charles stood up from his chair: "Anyway, thank you, I'll arrange for someone to come and bring this batch of munitions back as soon as it dawns tomorrow morning." ”

Fowler also stood up and smiled at Charles, "No problem. ”

This was the end of the brief conversation between the two, and from beginning to end, they did not know that the content of their conversation had fallen into the ears of the others word for word.

"NND, I'll just say why we didn't have our share of the munitions these few times, it turned out that this kid was doing it in the middle!" On the roof of the stone house, two young men were lying on it, just now Fowler and Charles's every move was seen by them through a small stone crack in the roof, after Charles walked out of the stone house, one of the bald young men immediately scolded in a very small voice.

"Shhhhh ”

After speaking, the short-haired young man arched his waist, jumped lightly towards the ground, and returned to the ground without a sound, and the bald young man saw this, and immediately jumped from the roof to the ground, also quietly.

Of the two, the young man with thick eyebrows and short hair was Albert, and the bald young man was the leader of one of the five scout teams led by Albert.

After falling to the ground, Albert and the bald young man glanced at each other, and then quickly ran in one direction in small steps, and soon disappeared into the dark night.

Just six hours after they left here, that is, just after dawn the next morning, the Quartermaster Department of the North Camp found that a large number of military supplies were missing, and it was a mess in an instant.

In the office of the Quartermaster Department, Fowler had a gloomy face, and in front of him stood a strong man who was not tall.

"Huck, I want you to give me an explanation, why did such a large batch of munitions disappear?" Fowler shouted at the strong man in front of him.

The strong man's face was also ugly: "Sir, I don't know, I saw that there were still a lot of munitions in the warehouse during my inspection last night, but when I looked at it again this morning, it was all gone, what a ghost!"

"Hmph!" Fowler snorted coldly, "What the hell is it? Let me ask you, what do all those people under your command eat? Why can't you even look at what is under your nose? What do I want you to do?"

"Sir" Huck blushed, and then Nono said: "We belong to the internal camp, and we are all our own people, who would have thought that someone would come and steal our things?"

"Shut up!" Fowler said angrily at Huck's words, "I don't want to hear your useless explanations, I just want to"

Wait, suddenly, thinking of what Huck just said was his own people, combined with the 13th Battalion coming over to him to ask for munitions yesterday, Fowler's mind moved, and said to Huck: "You go and investigate the 13th Battalion immediately to see if this batch of munitions has been stolen by them." ”

"Battalion 13?" Huck didn't know why Fowler would let him investigate Battalion 13, just wanted to ask carefully, but when he met Fowler's cold gaze, he wisely chose to shut up: "Yes, sir, I'll arrange someone to investigate immediately!"

Not long after Huck left Fowler's office, another person walked in, with a slender figure, handsome looks, and elegant temperament, and this person was Charles.

"Fowler, didn't you say that the munitions were given to me this morning, and why did my men go back empty-handed after they first came to you?"

Seeing Charles, Fowler's still gloomy face immediately turned into a smile: "Charles, you're here, I'm still thinking about going over to find you!"

Charles went straight to a chair and sat down, looked at Fowler and said, "What the hell is going on?"

Fowler sighed and said, "No, I was just trying to ask your people to move this batch of munitions, but when I opened the storeroom, I saw that this batch of munitions was gone." ”

"Gone?" Charles' brow furrowed, "You mean these things are gone?"

Seeing Charles's ugly expression, Fowler hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I already have a clue about where this batch of things went, and I have just sent someone to check, I believe I will know the result soon." ”

"Oh?" Charles, looking at Fowler, was deep in thought.

At the same time, within the camp of the 13 battalion.

Unlike the depression and slump of the previous two days, the mood of the entire 13th Battalion was quite high today, and just this morning, they finally received their military supplies, which was also the first and only time that everyone received military supplies in more than a year.

This morning, everyone finally stopped wearing faded and patched military uniforms, but changed into new military uniforms, and those tattered boots were replaced by brand new leather boots.

In the training ground, everyone is doing stretching exercises, according to the regulations given by Situ to the 13th camp, every day after doing half an hour of stretching exercises before starting formal training, so this half an hour is relatively free, this morning's stretching time, the training ground is much more lively than usual.

"Albert, wasn't last night's action exciting?" Several team leaders gathered around Albert, asking all kinds of questions and exclamations.

"Hey, the battalion commander is so eccentric, why don't you let us go for such a good thing!"

"That's it, our team is not bad! Why don't you let us go?"

Albert was stretching his legs, and after everyone said a lot, he finally replied: "Don't complain to me here, you have the ability to go to the battalion commander to theorize!"

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Albert spoke again: "Don't be dissatisfied, last night when you were still dreaming, my people worked hard to help you get things back, and you have to thank me for this!"

"Okay, Albert, you're still selling if you're cheap!"

"Stinky boy, don't be poor with us, all the good things will be taken by you, and you will be sold!" everyone booed.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Albert wisely chose to shut up, and after a while, the team leader spoke: "I have to say, although our battalion commander is young, he is really temperamental about Lao Tzu. ”

"Really. Another squad leader immediately chimed in: "Ruthless and decisive, it's hard to imagine that our battalion commander is still underage." ”

"Don't talk to Lao Tzu about adults and minors, Lao Tzu doesn't recognize those, only strength!" said another captain.

"That's right. A rough voice sounded at this time: "I believe that our battalion commander, he is completely different from the hypocritical aristocratic commanders we knew before, he treats us with sincerity. ”

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and they were all stunned, because it was Murray who had been cut off by Situ Jin before.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Murray was a little unnatural: "What are you all looking at me for? I'm telling the truth." ”

After the incident with Sandy, even the last trace of resentment towards Situ Jin in Murray's heart dissipated without a trace, not only that, but since that incident, he has regarded Situ Jin as the unique battalion commander of the 13th Battalion, and unconsciously began to defend the authority of this battalion commander.

Everyone withdrew their gaze from Murray, and they all felt a little incredulous when they thought of what had happened since Situ Jin's arrival.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, they are still a big moth in the entire barracks, and everyone will still call them "old soldiers", but they know in their hearts that they are definitely not old soldiers, and not only that, they believe that even the most elite troops in the entire empire do not have their hard training and strict military discipline.

They are gold, a piece of gold that Situ Jin has forged little by little in his own way!

Although this piece of gold is still buried in the ground, and may always be buried in the ground, everyone has no regrets, because even if it is buried in the ground, even if it will never see the sun, gold is always gold, and gold has its own pride, and this pride is the most precious thing that Situ Jin left for them when he built them.
