On the third day of Lawrence's recuperation at home, Grosso sent a letter saying that the patrol had basically gained a foothold in Xicheng.

Although the other gangs were deeply hostile to the sudden intervention of the patrol, the Sea Serpents' one-eyed corpse was still alive, and the gangs had to lie dormant and observe for a while.

The letter also made a point of mentioning the Jaan that Lawrence had placed on his side, in Grosso's words:

"I really don't know where you kid picked up such a good seedling."

Grosso was not aware of Ya'an's second purpose for the time being, and was full of praise for this young man full of potential and determined intentions.

Lawrence, who saw the letter, was also a little more relieved, if the two of them could work together happily, the process of rectifying Xicheng District would be much faster.

After pondering for a moment, Lawrence still wrote a reply letter, reminding Grosso to maintain order in Xicheng District and win the support of the people as his first priority, and also to strictly restrain the behavior of his subordinates, and to tell him what he wanted.

After all, Lawrence is very clear about the reason why the poor mountains and bad waters are out of trouble, and these subordinates of Grosso will inevitably rely on their new identities to do some bullying and bullying of the people, just like the previous patrols.

In order to maintain the patrol's positive image in the hearts of the people, Lawrence rarely used a commanding tone towards Grosso, demanding that he must control his subordinates according to Yaan's requirements, and everyone should be treated equally.

And just as Lawrence was writing in his study, there was a strong knock on the door, which was heavy but regular.

Anna happened to be out of the house, and Lawrence got up and opened the door himself.

The knocker stood outside the door, his posture was very tall, his facial features were as sharp as if they had been cut out of a knife, he did not speak, but he just stood in place and made people feel not angry and arrogant.

He was wearing a conspicuous dark green military uniform and carrying a neatly folded package in his hand.

Since the Corsican uniform was modeled after the old-fashioned French uniform, the rank of a soldier was not reflected in the epaulettes, but in the webbing of the cuffs of the uniform.

Lawrence glanced at his cuff, which was embroidered with a silver five-pointed star, indicating that the man was a major officer.

"Monsieur Bonaparte."

The officer gave a military salute cleanly and said succinctly:

"By order of General Pauli, you are given the rank of Major of the Wehrmacht of Corsica, directly under the Doge's Palace of Corsica. In addition, you will be specially sent to the Northern Corps to command the 4th Infantry Battalion, temporarily under the command of the Northern Corps. ”

With that, the officer stretched out his right hand, and Lawrence stretched out his right hand wrapped in gauze and held it together.

Lawrence only thought that the man's hands were unusually strong, and they were covered in calluses, and that he was probably a blacksmith before.

After shaking hands, even if the official handover process was over, the officer was much more relaxed, smiling and saying:

"Also, I'm Major Trevary, your adjutant, and I'm sending you to the Northern Legion."

Lawrence nodded, it seems that this is the lieutenant sent by Poly to supervise him, no matter what, let's have a good relationship with him first:

"Very well, Major Trefali, come in and have a cup of tea?"

Triphali shook his head solemnly and said in a low voice, "General Poly has an order, we must set off immediately." ”

"Immediately?"

Lawrence frowned slightly, he didn't expect Paulie to act so quickly after making up his mind to bypass the council, and it seemed that he was really worried about what happened to the plan.

Now that it is almost mid-February, and the day is getting closer to reach a deal between the French and the Genoese, it is no wonder that Pauli is so urgent.

"Understood, wait a minute."

Lawrence nodded and took the package from Trafali's hand, which contained his personal belongings, before turning back into the house.

Simply ended the letter to Grosso, and then left a note for Anna saying that she needed to go out.

Lawrence thought for a moment, then left his patrol seal on the table, reminding Anna to take the seal to the patrol if she was in trouble.

The package was opened, revealing a major uniform identical to that of Trevary, along with a silver badge with Lawrence's name, age, and brief job description, which was also proof of identity.

Putting on his military uniform, Lawrence looked at the silver star on his cuffs and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Although he was a colonel-level officer, the number of the Corsican Wehrmacht was only about 3,000. Although this is a large number for Corsica, with a population of less than 40,000, Lawrence is still a small figure in Europe.

"Major Bonaparte, are you ready to go?" Trafali asked aloud when he saw Lawrence finish cleaning up.

Lawrence locked the door and nodded at Trevary.

Since it was estimated that it would take twenty days to leave Ajaccio this time, Lawrence and Trefali went to the patrol station to explain some business to the elder Sean.

"Huh? Someone from the military? ”

As soon as the two of them entered the hall of the station, they attracted the attention of the patrolmen, who wondered what the military was doing on the patrolmen's territory.

And when everyone saw Lawrence's face clearly, they exclaimed again and again:

"Oh my God, it's Lord Bonaparte!"

"He's dressed... It's the uniform of a Wehrmacht major! ”

"What's going on?! Is Master Bonaparte leaving? ”

......

Lawrence looked at his subordinates with tears and laughter, and was about to explain, when old Sean walked down from the second floor and reprimanded everyone:

"What's wrong, what's the noise?!"

And before he could finish speaking, he saw Lawrence standing in front of him in a military uniform, and immediately shouted out in a panic:

"O my God! Monsieur Bonaparte, are you going to be transferred? Whose order was it from Governor Pauly? Oh my God, he didn't even ask us fellow patrol men what they thought! ”

Listening to old Sean hurriedly throwing out this series of questions, Lawrence couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand to interrupt:

"Okay, okay, you all stop, I haven't left my post yet, but I'm also serving in the army."

"Concurrently?"

Old Sean was stunned, he had never heard of an outsider who could concurrently serve in the army, after all, it was a field absolutely controlled by Poly.

In particular, the conspicuous silver star on the Lawrence cuff, which is a symbol of a colonel-level officer, can also enter the top ranks of the entire Wehrmacht. Such a position is not something that anyone can "concurrently" hold.

The patrolmen, including Shaun Sr., looked at Lawrence with a little more fiery eyes, this is the man they followed, and as Lawrence's authority continued to expand, they believed that they would also rise with Lawrence's promotion.

Lawrence then waved for the group to stand down and speak to Shaun Sr. alone, handing over the management of the patrol to Shaun Sr. during the days he had been away.

At the same time, he specifically instructed that if something happened in Xicheng District, Grosso or Ya'an came to ask for help, they must do their best.

Lawrence believes that Ciro will not be honest during his absence.

In addition, Lawrence estimated that the eighty muskets that Paulie had promised last time would soon be delivered, and he also instructed Shaun Sr. to assign these muskets to his subordinates and practice them diligently.

After all this was ordered, Lawrence and Trifali walked out of the station, Major Trifali couldn't help but glance back at the patrol station, and said with a strange expression:

"Major Bonaparte, I have never seen such a cohesive subordinate in the army."

Lawrence laughed and joked, "What? Do you mean I'm fit to lead? ”

Major Trefali nodded solemnly and said:

"From a military point of view, I think so."

However, the second half of Major Trefali's sentence will only be silently recited in his heart:

"From General Paulie's point of view, I don't think so."
