Chapter 68: An Extra Friend
"Lord Duke!"
Rushing back to the big tent of the Chinese army, Lin He unexpectedly found that the Duke was the only one sitting there in the entire tent.
"Split the account in five!"
"What do you mean, Lord Duke?"
"Blatantly accepting bribes right under my nose, didn't my old man see it?"
"Four-six, if you don't promise me, I'll give it back, just say I just found out!
"Deal!"
Happily reaching an agreement on the distribution of the spoils, Lin He took out the pile of bills of exchange from his jacket pocket, and walked to the desk of the governor.
The last extra bill of exchange of 500 gold coins, after two wins in three games, three wins in five rounds, and four wins in seven rounds, was finally put into his pocket by the Duke with satisfaction.
"By the way, Avril Avril is escorting a batch of materials urgently requisitioned from Cote Province, and she is on her way over, I'm afraid that the next journey will not be smooth, so please trouble the logistics battalion to pick it up!" The old man carefully fastened the pocket full of money orders, and then turned around and gave the latest order to the logistics battalion.
Regarding the arrangement of the governor, Lin He was a little confused. What's the matter with your own precious daughter coming all the way over to me, besides, as far as the current situation in Limburg Province is concerned, not to mention that this girl is accompanied by a regular army, even if she comes over on horseback by herself, it is estimated that no one will dare to beat her, right?
Could it be that the old man Duke wanted to match himself and Avril, I have to say that Avril is really beautiful, but he has always treated her as a school girl, how can he be embarrassed to do it.
However, looking at the eyes of the Duke looking at him, Lin He felt that he was 99% sure that he had guessed correctly. This is going to give yourself as a gift to your own heart, baby, your old man pampered his daughter, no problem, but can you consider the feeling of the gift.
"Lord Duke, I will arrange for the cavalry troops in the battalion to go and meet Miss Avril and her party!"
"As for how to do it, I don't have to ask, but if Avril is missing a hair, Commander Lin and your logistics battalion will be fully responsible!"
Threat, this is a naked threat!
But he was still powerless to refute, and the proper official was crushed to death. What's more, the old man in front of him is still his biggest backer and business partner.
Forget it, let's sacrifice it myself!
Lin He, who received the order, rushed to the Dorne ferry four hundred miles away with the logistics battalion overnight, ready to pick up Avril and his party. According to the notice sent earlier, they will arrive at the ferry in three days with supplies.
Now the entire 45th Army Corps no longer worries about supplies, and even yesterday planned to support a group of nearest friendly troops. All this depends on the active efforts of the governor of Chasai, and now the materials allocated by the entire province, let alone feeding one 45 corps, even if there are three or five more like this, it will not be a problem.
"Captain! Why don't I rush over with a wolf cavalry first? "When Deputy Head Cohen heard that the mission this time was to protect the Duke Lord's precious daughter, the whole person was like being beaten with chicken blood. The more I look at the head of the group, the more pleasing it becomes, as if this time I was escorting the head of the group to go on a blind date.
"That's fine, the big army is too slow, you can bring all the cavalry!"
Seeing that the head of the regiment agreed to his proposal, Deputy Head Cohen hurriedly patted his chest and said that he would definitely protect Miss Avril well, even if he lost a single hair, he was willing to come to see him.
Looking at this neurotic guy, Lin He wanted to use a knife to cut people. Didn't I just fall out of love, one by one. Now that I think about it, the news of my singleness has spread a bit fast, and it is estimated that the rural farmers in Limburg Province now also know the news of their singleness.
Seeing the cavalry unit disappear into the dark night sky with Deputy Regiment Commander Cohen, Lin He immediately issued an order that the battalion directly under the logistics department should camp on the spot and set off again at dawn tomorrow.
The col in front of you is ideal for camping, surrounded by lush vegetation and abundant water. The most important thing is that it is only about twenty kilometers away from the 45 Corps, which is exactly outside the alert range of the Corps.
Lord Duke's arrangement this time made Lin He feel unprecedented pressure, if he didn't handle it well, he could completely imagine what his fate would be. Not to mention that the cooperation between the mercenary group and the Duke's Mansion has been affected, it is estimated that whether his life can be guaranteed is a big problem.
The current situation is very favorable to the mercenary group, the cooperation with the Duke has been in full swing, and the Governor of Chasai is also progressing very fast, as a reward for Lin He's standing up at the critical moment, the Limburgh Provincial side is still very concerned about the cooperation of the mercenary group.
Early the next morning.
The guide sent by the governor of Chasai rushed to the camp of the camp directly under the logistics department, and brought with him 10,000 gold coins personally sponsored by the governor.
Lin He looked around for a while, and after making sure that there was no eyeliner from the Duke, he put the bill of exchange into his jacket pocket. Recently, the Duke seems to be eyeing himself, which is really a headache.
After breakfast, the head of the group was still in a good mood. Seeing that the weather was not bad, accompanied by the guide, he took the logistics battalion along the provincial highway and headed towards the meeting point. According to the scout's report in the morning, the wolf cavalry unit led by Deputy Commander Staff, was expected to arrive near the ferry in the afternoon.
It is estimated that they didn't rest at all yesterday last night, and they should have been on the road all night. Compared to marching during the day, the wolf cavalry prefers the dark night, but the human cavalry who acts together suffers.
With the response of the cavalry units, the march of the battalion directly under the logistics was not fast. At the current speed, it is expected to arrive near the ferry port in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.
From time to time along the way, there are supply convoys coming over, and the people who come claim to be the butler of a certain aristocratic lord, I heard that the head of the regiment passed by here, out of admiration for the adults, specially prepared a small gift not to pay respect.
Less than 50 kilometers away, the materials received are enough to open a large supermarket. Looking at so many supplies, the regiment commander had a headache, and rushing with these supplies would definitely slow down the march.
The head of the regiment complained in front of the guide, and everyone couldn't understand why he did it for a while. It's just that further down, these butlers basically came empty-handed, and after talking about the friendship between the two sides in the grove where the army passed by, behind a certain rock, with admiration for the adults, the head of the regiment seemed to be much happier.
As for the materials received before, several housekeepers also thoughtfully suggested that the head of the regiment should be handed over to them for safekeeping, so as to ensure that there would be no mistakes. If the group leader wants to, they can sell it on their behalf.
Selling military supplies privately is a big crime, but these are all personal gifts from the head of the regiment, and how to deal with them is completely a private matter of the head of the regiment, so after a little consideration, I accepted the arrangement of the well-wishers.
In this way, the regiment commander made countless good friends along the way, and even deliberately slowed down the march in order to take care of the heroes in some remote areas. After all, it's hard for people to come all the way, so how can you not give people a chance.
