July 4, 834 Julian calendar.

The port of Hafs has been put under full martial law.

Dressed in armor and armed with sharp blades, black-clad gendarmes formed patrol detachments, which were constantly patrolling within a radius of 10 kilometers with the headquarters as the center. Vigilantly watching the movements around him.

At this time, the headquarters of the Lao He army was extremely tightly defended, and there was no leakage or needle.

Although the people in the city were not as sensitive as the people of the imperial city, when they saw this movement, they also smelled a strange smell in the air one by one, and knew that something big was about to happen. All honestly keep their mouths shut.

When walking down the street, you have to reduce the decibels as much as possible when you fart, so as not to attract the attention of the vicious gendarmes.

In the city, the 998th chapter summary meeting (asking for a monthly ticket) of the headquarters of the Lao He army was unusually lively at this time.

Outside the main conference room, a large group of soldiers in military uniforms gathered early.

Each of them carried the shining gold star representing the general on their shoulders, and the badges representing the different parts of the army were pinned to their chests.

If the little staff officer passing by next to him accidentally glanced at it, he would immediately be blinded by a large dazzling Venus.

The smarter officers in the headquarters were all hiding far away at this time.

Grandma's, not to mention anything else, just walking this way, at least you have to pay a few respects, although, at the same time, you can scold dozens of "bitches" in your heart.

However, even so, I can't stand it.

Not to mention, if there is a person who can't take care of it when saluting, and one less bastard, who knows if the grandson will hold a grudge and turn around to put on his own shoes.

Therefore, it is better for this kind of gathering of high-ranking officers not to mix, or not to mix.

These generals are in high positions, but they don't pay attention to the grievances of those junior officers. They are gathering in groups to talk and laugh with each other.

Some are polite and polite, and polite and thoughtful when talking to people.

Some are straightforward and refreshing, and their voices are rough and bold at the Chapter 998 Summary Conference (asking for a monthly ticket), pulling their throats, and laughing unscrupulously.

There are also sneaking aside, muttering small words, not knowing what to discuss.

These generals are the military commanders of all the legions under Lao He's troops.

Their arrival also marked the official end of the first phase of the all-hands exercise of the Lao Peace Army, which lasted two months.

After the two-month-long exercise, half a million peacekeepers are now scattered across the land north of Almohd like beans.

As soon as the exercise ended, all the corps commanders received orders from the headquarters to return to the headquarters of the peacekeeping force to attend the summary meeting of the Lao Peace troops held on 4 July.

Although the generals set out as soon as they received the order, they were too scattered. It's still not quite there yet.

Every now and then, a legion commander, sweating profusely, would walk in from outside and join the bustling crowd.

Moreover, as the number of people increases, every time someone arrives, there will be a burst of cheers and warm greetings from the crowd.

At this moment, another general strode in while patting the dust on his body.

Someone next to him immediately greeted him and laughed loudly: "Yo, General Yeke, you have finally arrived." Brother, I've been looking forward to you for a long time.

You've been assigned to a good group this time, and more than half of them are from the Holy See's team, so you must have earned a lot of points, right?"

General Yeke touched the back of his head, laughed heartily, and said: "There, there, don't just look at the legions of the Holy See, the other legions of my group are all garrisons near Ruman, and they are as hard as the dry bread in the cafeteria of the Maple Leaf Danlin Military Academy, each one is harder to chew." ”

Although his voice was rude, the words "Maple Leaf Danlin Military Academy" seemed to be pronounced extremely heavily intentionally or unintentionally.

The generals next to them couldn't help but have a trace of jealousy in their eyes: another shit lucky puppy cub.

The person who can tell the story of the "Maple Leaf Danlin Military Restaurant" so lightly must be the same as Lord Luo, who also graduated from the Maple Leaf Danlin.

Although everyone knows that Lord Luo has always been as clear as water, as clear as a mirror, and discerning everything, he has always been very shy about his classmates.

The general who spoke at the beginning knew General Yeke's show-off, and then saw the jealous eyes of others next to him, but he smiled proudly for a very simple reason, he was also a graduate of Maple Leaf Danlin.

He paused for a moment and beckoned the attendant next to him to hand over a glass of ice water. Then he continued: "I said Yerk, don't complain here.

In addition to Ruman's, isn't there also a legion of the Holy See to give you points?

My group is just two Holy See legions, rushing to be wheeled. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the ice water in his hand.

General Yeke was not polite, raised the ice water, and drank it all. Then he sighed comfortably: "Grandma's, it's still enjoyable to drink this ice water." Then he put the empty cup in his hand on the tray in the hand of the attendant next to him, and picked up another glass of ice water. Took another big sip.

He wiped the water from his beard, and then continued: "Hey, don't mention it, those guys in the Holy See are very ghostly. Although at first it was the same as a vegetable bun. But then I don't know where to fight the chicken blood, and I fought the open terrain of the plains.

If there is a real fight, although I am 100% sure that I can still win, many young men will not be able to come home with me alive. ”

Listen to him. The general also felt a little heavy in his heart.

There are no immortals in war. In conventional warfare, no matter how beautiful the victory is, "kill 3,000 enemies, and lose 800,"

Not to mention, there are not only priests among the papal troops, but many of them are fanatics. Under their leadership, it can greatly boost the morale of the army.

Head-to-head, it is indeed an extremely difficult bone to gnaw.

Moreover, after such a long period of exercises, they have also accumulated military experience in Dali, which has become more and more difficult to deal with.

The man paused for a moment, then changed the subject, and said, "By the way, then how many points do you have now?" General Yeke raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, slightly raised his head and said to himself: "Not much, only thirty-eight points." Haha, hahaha......"

The person next to him counted his fingers and exclaimed, "That doesn't mean you've won nine games." ”

General Yeke shook his head and sighed with a regretful expression: "No way, the Tenth Legion of the East is a strengthened legion, and there are three thousand more people than us."

Those guys are playing hooligans with a lot of people. At that time, I pulled all the cooks up, but I still couldn't fight. No way.

You, Lao An?

How many points did you get?" the general named Lao An lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Forty-four points." "I'm relying on a perfect score~!" everyone looked at him with wide eyes.

"Luck, luck, haha, hahaha," the full-score general said calmly, but everyone saw that the corners of his mouth were almost at the root of their ears.

Then he sighed again and said, "Alas, my group is the most tragic, brother, there is not a single Holy See legion, and I can't brush up my points if I want to. Everyone scolded in their hearts: Pretend, you can pretend, how can these people of the Eastern Legion have the same virtue as the Grand Duke.

Every time I speak, I have a physical urge to "give him a good beating?"

At this time, there was a commotion at the door, and everyone looked back curiously.

I saw a dignified young man striding in, and the generals nearby were pointing at him.

He was in his thirties, and among the corps commanders with an average age of more than forty, he was indeed just a junior young man.

A square face, a high nose and a wide mouth, his skin was sunburned wheat color, the military uniform on his body was neat and tidy, with shiny military ranks and logos, and even his hair was combed in a slight.

It can be seen that this person is a very heavy person, compared to him, the other legion commanders on the scene are like a group of people who have just gotten off work.

He has a kind smile on his face, and he greets anyone he sees thoughtfully.

"Who is this guy?" the gathered generals asked.

"Our star among us, Archbishop Sandos. "Oh" The person who didn't know suddenly realized and sighed: "He is the Xiaoqiang who can't be killed." "Walked the shit luck guy. "I can't help but admit that this guy still has some skills, at least in defeating battles.

"Hahahaha," everyone burst into an ominous laugh.

When Archbishop Sandos walked into the noisy chamber, he was also shocked by the scene before him.

Nearly 100 generals in charge of the legion gathered together, and in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that they were a group of lions and beasts gathered together, discussing how to divide the prey.

That aura is not ordinarily powerful, and even the timid don't dare to lean forward.

"I'm one of them. Archbishop Sandos said to himself, feeling that the experience of the past two months was like a dream.

But thinking about his negative scores, Archbishop Sandos felt a little weak, and wondered if these people would make a fool of him.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, pulled his clothes, straightened his cuffs, and walked into the crowd with his feet raised.

The Captain of the Ruman Legion beside him seemed to recognize him immediately, smiled kindly, and nodded slightly to Archbishop Sandos.

A legionnaire captain of the Holy See, who was chatting with someone, came over and took the initiative to shake the hand of Archbishop Dodos, exchanged a few words of greeting with the archbishop, and then patted him on the shoulder and said several words of encouragement.

Archbishop Sandos was nervous, and he didn't remember the other party's name for a while, but he could see that the legion leader was not a clergyman, but a veteran.

Archbishop Sandos breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was fine, it didn't seem to be that bad.

Not far away, several legion commanders who were gathering together beckoned to him and said, "Ram, this way."

Archbishop Sandos looked at those people a little familiar, but he couldn't remember what their names were, but from the badges on his chest, it could be seen that they were all captains of the Holy See Legion.

Seeing Archbishop Sandos coming, several people greeted the archbishop warmly.

One of them impressed Archbishop Sandos, with a large hooked nose on his face, deep-set eye sockets, a thin face, a tall and thin figure like a bamboo pole, an old-fashioned and stern expression, sharp eyes, and thin lips that were tight and cold.

After being introduced, Archbishop Sandos knew that this long, very conspicuous general, was the commander of the 25th Legion of the Holy See.

To the surprise of the Archbishop of Santos, the commander of the Twenty-Fifth Legion was actually also an archbishop.

Archbishop of Thessaly, Delphi, Archbishop of Kalambaka.

Archbishop Sandos was a little surprised, and looked Archbishop Kalambaka up and down carefully for a long time. I secretly said in my heart, it turns out that in addition to myself, there is also the archbishop who insists on the front line of the war, it seems that this is also a fierce man~!

Archbishop Sandos Enthusiastic and Kalambaka...... The bishop said hello, but Archbishop Kalambaka only nodded coldly, and after saying "hello", he said no more.

Archbishop Sandos said to himself: This guy seems to be difficult to deal with.

A handful of white-bearded veterans beside him patted Archbishop Sandos on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Kalambaka has such a temper, 1 Xiaosan, you don't have to care." He is one of the few people in our Holy See team who has a positive number of points. ”

Archbishop Sandos was shocked, and secretly said in his heart: This is a cow.

Then I remembered the story, the first phase of the march of the exercise began, and there were more than thirty legions of the Holy See, and only one legion arrived at the designated position on time, and it seemed that it was the one in front of him.

The veteran said with emotion: "Now the general who was born as an archbishop is the only one left with the two of you." The future is the pillar of the Holy See, how close you are. ”

Archbishop Sandos took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile: "Archbishop Kalambaka, your twenty-fifth legion is the best in our Holy See department, and you have admired it for a long time. ”

Archbishop Kalambaka stretched out his hand as thin as a bamboo pole, shook it tightly with Archbishop Sandos, and said dryly: "Me too, you are also very powerful." ”

Archbishop Kalambaka's hand was so strong that Sandos almost screamed, wondering in his heart: how did this guy become an archbishop?

First of all, the appearance is not good, the bishop of the Holy See, the archbishop, as the head of the first district of the Holy See, is to stand in front of the stage to preach, manage religious affairs, and cheat other people's money, especially those ignorant women's money.

First of all, the first rule is to be beautiful if you want to be long.

The long feathers are detrimental to the image of the Holy See. The cardinals of the Vatino, although not young

, but also the top handsome, generally at the level of Sean and Connery.

Of course, appearance is not the only one, but it is not easy to climb up ugly. And this seems to have a very strange personality, he has said two sentences in a long time, and the total is less than ten words.

This can also rise to the position of archbishop of the bishopry, either because of the real ability of the extraordinary, or the back is extremely hard.

Although Archbishop Sandos was very curious in his heart and wanted to know how this guy did it, but the attitude of the people was cold, and Archbishop Sandos asked three questions before answering, and they all said "ah", "um", "yes" and so on, which made Archbishop Sandos have no temper.

At this time, a staff officer walked into the conference hall, stood at the front desk and clapped his hands, and when everyone quieted down, the staff officer said in a loud voice: "Generals, the deputy commander-in-chief will be here soon, please take a seat." ”

Hearing this, the legionnaires poured into the conference hall, and Archbishop Sandos adhered to the aristocratic demeanor, and waited until everyone else had almost entered, and then Shi Shiran walked in.

As far as the eye could see, there were not many vacant seats around, and the generals who knew each other well gathered together to talk to each other.

Archbishop Kalambaka pulled out a position, waved his hand to Archbishop Santos, and said, "Your Excellency Santos, here. ”

Sandos smiled and said to himself: This guy is not so ruthless.

When Lorraine and Leo walked into the chamber, the first thing they saw was a black head.

The staff officer by the door said loudly: "The deputy commander-in-chief has arrived, everyone stands up~!"

The crowd cheered to their feet and raised their arms in salute to Lorraine.

In the hall, the sound of military boots clattering.

Lorraine glanced at the black head below, nodded, and then waved his hand and said, "Sit down." Today, we are convening this plenary meeting to sum up the experience of the first exercise.

Everyone sat down abruptly, and the hall was silent for a while.

Lorraine looked at the dense golden generals in front of him and said: "This exercise, in general, has achieved our goal, trained the team, and let those chicks who have never been on the battlefield know what the war is all about." There was a burst of laughter among the generals below, and everyone knew that Lorraine was talking about the Holy See's ranks.

Lorraine himself smiled and said, "According to the rules set before the exercise, the points will be retained by half a level for the ten legion commanders in the bottom. The 10 Clan Commanders with the most points will be promoted by half a rank. ”

Generals have people who lament, people who smile. What lamented was the several corps commanders of the Holy See, who inherited the mess left by their predecessors, and at that time it was already a negative score, plus the officers and soldiers under them were really enough, and they couldn't get it back.

"This exercise exposed a lot of problems, the most important of which is unprofessionalism. Each corps commander submits your report and formulates a special training plan to strengthen targeted training. ”

"Yes~!" replied the generals in unison.

Lorraine nodded, mumbled, and said, "Next, I will announce the plan for the second exercise." This time, we will practice the combined operation of the large corps. ”

The corps commanders looked at each other, and some of them sighed in their hearts: Why are you still exercising? If such an exercise continues, when will the war be postponed?

Others nodded appreciatively, believing that Lorraine had done a good job and that it was not appropriate to go to war with Haddou until the troops were fully ready.

Lorraine pointed to the large map behind him and said, "In this exercise, ten corps will be used as a group, and the theater of operations will be demarcated according to the current location of each corps. Two or three groups are formed into a front army, and the large corps is exercised to directly confront each other. The Legion Commanders sat up straight in their chairs and looked at Lorraine intently, knowing that this was the time to simulate a real war with Haddou. ！！！
