"Taoguang Cultivates Obscurity"
Sun Qian and the others returned to the barracks the next day. Seeing the familiar barracks and unfamiliar new comrades-in-arms, Sun Qian and the others felt all happy, this is the common characteristic of being a soldier, and almost all soldiers yearn for this kind of barracks life.
The two who put down their luggage did not stay in the barracks for long, and when Pershing received the news of their return, he immediately asked the correspondent to call them to the military headquarters, promoted them to one level in front of all the generals, and handed over the entire assault battalion to Sun Gan. After that, he didn't give the two of them a chance to speak, and sent them back to the barracks.
Soon after returning to the camp, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis brought Sun Qian's promotion order, read out the order of the military headquarters in front of the whole battalion, and handed over the command to Sun Gan in public.
After the disbandment of the people, the Memphis people spoke to themselves.
"Sun Qian, good job. I can hand over the whole camp to you, I am relieved, I am afraid that someone sent from above who doesn't understand anything, I didn't expect it to be you in the end, congratulations. Lieutenant Colonel Memphis stretched out his hand to Sun Qian.
"Thank you, sir. Please believe that I will carry on your will and bring our assault battalion into the best possible force. Sun Qian assured Lieutenant Colonel Memphis.
Memphis said as he looked at the officers gathered around. "Okay, it's not that I can't see you, you can go to the military headquarters to find me at any time in the future, now let me say a few words to your commander."
After the officers left, Memphis lit a cigarette for the two, and after the smoke, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis looked at Sun Gan, looking like he didn't know how to talk about it, and saw that Sun Qian was very uncomfortable.
"Sir, say whatever you want to say, I can accept anything." , Sun Qian finally couldn't stand it and said to Lieutenant Colonel Memphis.
Lieutenant Colonel Memphis said with a little hesitation, "Sun Qian, I don't know how your body is, I remember that you lost a lot of blood at that time, and if you were later, your life would be lost, right?" ”
Sun Qian probably guessed what Lieutenant Colonel Memphis meant, and still followed Lieutenant Colonel Memphis's meaning and said, "Yes, sir." I did lose a lot of blood at the time, and I still feel dizzy sometimes. ”
Listening to Sun Gan's words, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Sun Qian, since you haven't fully recovered yet, it's better to cultivate for a while longer, I think Lieutenant Memphis can temporarily act as the chief officer for a while." During your absence, he's mostly busy. ”
Sun Qian didn't refute, just groaned for a while and said to Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, "I think it's okay, Memphis has this ability." “
Lieutenant Colonel Memphis didn't expect Sun Qian to agree so quickly, looked at Sun Qian and said, "Sun Qian, I don't mean to deprive you of your rights. “
After a slight pause, he continued: "Sun Qian, you have an old Chinese saying, "The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it", your performance is great, the whole army and even the entire coalition army know your name, although you are great from the perspective of a soldier, but you must know the dirtiness of politics @ governance, while you are recognized by the coalition soldiers, it also makes many coalition commanders feel very ashamed, a yellow-skinned young man under the age of 20 compares them all, of course, this does not include some honest officers. But anyway, I think you should be hidden for a while, it's good for you and everyone, and I don't think you want to see everyone being calculated by those bastards because of you, right? “
Sun Gan, who had been vaccinated in advance by Afli, didn't expect that he still felt angry, as a soldier who couldn't fight on the battlefield because of some guys with ulterior motives, Sun Gan felt extremely sad, but thinking about Everley's words, looking at Lieutenant Colonel Memphis with a caring expression on his face, Sun Qian still felt a trace of warmth. He knew that they all wanted to protect themselves, so he couldn't anger Lieutenant Colonel Memphis, and cleaned up his mood a little, Sun Qian smiled at Lieutenant Colonel Memphis and said, "Sir, thank you for your kindness, I will apply to go back to Paris tomorrow to recuperate for another two months, it just so happens that this time Uncle Avery brought me an old Chinese medicine doctor, he asked me to recuperate for a while, you know that compared to Western medicine, if you recuperate, it is better for us to recuperate." “
"Sun Gan, I'm relieved to hear you say this, I just hate that my position is too low, and I can't let an excellent soldier like you play your due role." , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis said with a look of resentment, this is a helpless cry of an upright soldier.
"No, sir, you've done enough for me." , Sun Qian comforted on the side.
"Okay, since you have already made arrangements, I won't say more, just stand out, two months will pass, I'll wait for you to come back and we'll fight side by side again." , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis also packed up his mood and said.
"Yes, sir, I look forward to continuing the fight under your leadership." , Sun Qian hurriedly said.
"Okay, then I'll go first, the military department still has a bunch of things waiting for me." , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis didn't stay too long after speaking, and left a little lonely.
As for Sun Gan, he concentrated all the officers of the battalion at the battalion headquarters, and he had to make some arrangements for the next period of time.
Looking at the officers looking at him, Sun Gan didn't talk too much, he wanted to wait for the affairs of the whole battalion to be arranged before catching up with everyone, and then he could also see which of these people was with him, and Sun Gan also learned some means through this matter. The right thing will always expire and be invalid, he wants to take advantage of the current situation to arrange the affairs of the whole battalion, he doesn't want the assault battalion to become a tool for others to be promoted.
"Well, since everyone is here, I won't say anything. Since my body has not yet recovered, I will go back to Paris tomorrow for some time to recuperate. Sun Qian dropped a bombshell directly between everyone.
Looking at the expressions of the people below, there are also those who are concerned and have a snickering joy. As long as the officers of Company A and the officers of the fire support company were concerned, as for the officers of Company B and Company D, as for the officers of Company C who showed snickering, the officers of Company C had noncommittal expressions, Sun Qian guessed that he didn't really care about these and was cunning, and he planned to take a look at it again.
"Okay, I'll arrange this time first, Captain Sun Xing will go to Paris with me, so there must be a temporary commander in the whole battalion." After Sun Qian finished speaking, he continued to observe everyone.
Looking at the group of people who were looking at him, Sun Qian also confirmed his previous observations, and then said, "Captain Memphett, I plan to let you preside over the affairs of the whole battalion for a period of time, and Captain Charlie of Company C, you cooperate with Captain Memphett, and the other people's positions remain unchanged." “
Not to mention Captain Memphett's appearance, Captain Charlie of Company C had a look of disbelief, he wanted to stay out of the matter, but he saw the hot eyes of the two commanders of Company B and Company D. His first thought was that Sun Gan wanted to put him on the fire to roast, but seeing Sun Gan's sincere eyes, he knew that he had no other choice, so he happily agreed, "Yes, sir, please rest assured, I will definitely cooperate with Captain Memphett." “
"Okay, for all other inconveniences, please do your part, and when I get back, I hope I can see the screaming assault battalion, not a collapsed team." , Sun Qian knocked the unconvinced officer lightly and heavily.
"Okay, I'll make one more request, that is, during my absence, you must take the assault battalion well, and I will apply to the military department that the whole battalion will not be on a mission during my absence." After Sun Qian finished speaking, he asked everyone to dismiss, just leaving Monfit and Charlie behind.
Holding the tea that Sun Xing brought over, Sun Qian gently explained to Memphis and Charlie what he had to do when he was away, and said that if he couldn't handle it, he could go to Lieutenant Colonel Memphis for help. In fact, the core is to control the troops, and don't let the troops become scattered when he returns.
After that, after a night of nothing, Sun Qian took Sun Xing back to Paris early the next morning, and he wanted to avoid this circle of right and wrong for the time being.
