Chapter 17: Stealing the Cannon
Meng Qingxiao held back the fire and returned to the camp.
"Go and call Bao Tong to me."
"Army Commander, Chief of Staff Bao has returned to the 1st Division."
"Lao Tzu asked you to call Bao Tong, are you deaf or have a bad brain, can't you understand Lao Tzu's words?"
"Yes." Zhou Chao shouted loudly and ran towards his mount at high speed.
Halfway through, another guard stopped him, "Hey, Zhou Chao, what's going on, how did I hear the commander angry?" ”
"I don't know, he asked me to call Chief of Staff Bao of the First Division."
"Then it won't be so angry, will it?"
"I feel that Chief of Staff Bao has provoked him somewhere, don't talk about it, I'm going to hurry up to the first division to call someone, and the commander will have more snacks there."
"You can go with confidence."
Half an hour later, in a certain grassland grazing by the first division, Zhou Chao felt that his legs were numb, and finally found Bao Tong.
"Chief of Staff Bao, the army commander ordered me to call you."
"Did you say anything?"
"I didn't say it, but his face was very ugly, he should be angry with you, you should be mentally prepared."
"Angry with me? I didn't mess with him. Bao Tong wondered.
"Didn't he order you to continue collecting beast rations, could it be for this matter?"
"Damn, it's possible." Bao Tong slapped his head.
"Chief of Staff, you shouldn't have been lazy and found out by the military commander, right?"
"What do you say, how can Lao Tzu be lazy."
"And what you just did?"
"Hey, he asked me to be careful to avoid the people of the Snow Bear Country when hunting, because the Snow Bear Country minds this a lot, I don't think it's troublesome, so I thought of a little crooked idea, I think it may be known by the military commander."
"What's the idea?"
"It's the time I went to the military headquarters for a meeting, a colonel from the Snow Bear Country, what is the name of the ......?"
"Bogusky?"
"Yes, it's him, Colonel Bogusky, he saw that our mount was very windy, and he wanted to make a head, so I privately promised him that when we returned to the country of Qianghan, I would definitely help him get a horse, and then he only needed to wait at the junction of our two countries in the Anxing Mountains to receive it, and his blood had already been handed over to me."
"And then?"
"Then, in exchange of courtesies, he promised me that I could hunt as much as I wanted in the area he was responsible for."
"I'll go, you're not lazy, how many kilometers do you have to run?"
"Just catch the prey."
"Hehe, you can go and talk to the commander about this yourself."
"Eh, I said, Brother Zhou, you are the commander's guard, in case the commander really gets angry with me about this, you can't stand by and watch, you have to help me talk when the time comes."
"Boss, you also know that I am a guard, what can a little person like me help you, don't be kidding."
"You can't say that, we are all old subordinates of the military commander, we all have a letter of commitment from the head of state, and we will definitely become officials in the future, and you, the guard, are only temporarily sheltering, if I really die one day, do you think the military commander will not promote you?"
"Okay, okay, my Chief of Staff Bao, don't say such unlucky things, don't worry, if the army commander really wants to criticize, I will definitely help you, so it's okay, right?"
"Haha, this is my good brother."
The two of them ran all the way to the military headquarters, and when they arrived at the camp, it was already dusk, and it was soon getting dark.
Bao Tong tidied up his appearance and took a deep breath before shouting in front of Meng Qingxiao's tent: "Report!" ”
"Come in." Meng Qingxiao's voice came from the tent.
Bao Tong didn't have any nervousness along the way, and he joked with Zhou Chao all the way, and suddenly his heart was beating hard, he glanced back before he stepped forward, but saw that Zhou Chao's unrighteous guy didn't follow him at all, but desperately gestured at him from a distance, and kept pushing forward.
Bao Tong had no choice but to go in alone.
"Commander, are you looking for me?"
"Well, come and sit." At this moment, Meng Qingxiao was lying in front of the table and looking down at the map, without looking up at Bao Tong at all.
In this case, even if he gave Bao Tong 10,000 guts, he didn't dare to sit down, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to stand silently on the side.
It was getting dark quickly, and before he could read the map clearly, the engine outside the tent went off and the lights came on inside the tent.
At this time, Meng Qingxiao seemed to remember Bao Tong, looked up at him and said, "The prey I asked you to prepare, how did you prepare?" ”
Bao Tong's heart suddenly suddenly, and his heart, which had just calmed down, jumped wildly again, and said in his heart, my mother, it's really because of this, why are your old people's ears so smart, even our division commander doesn't know it, you actually knew it first.
Damn, be frank and lenient, I'll take the initiative to admit it first, take the initiative to admit my mistakes, don't wait for you to question me.
"Commander!" Bao Tong knelt on the ground all of a sudden, hugged Meng Qingxiao's thighs with both hands, and shouted with an aggrieved face, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have made a deal with Bogusky in private, please forgive me once, I won't dare to see you next time!" ”
Meng Qingxiao looked at this guy with a crying smile, he called him over to ask about something else, but he didn't expect to inadvertently cheat another trick.
Meng Qingxiao kicked him away, and couldn't help but scold: "You get up for me, look at you like a bear, how can you have a little bit of the appearance of the division chief of staff, tell me honestly, what's going on?" ”
Bao Tongxin said, hmph, compared to my image, it is more cost-effective to be scolded less, and he didn't dare to hide it at the moment, so he told him about his deal with Bogusky.
Meng Qingxiao was relieved when he heard this, it turned out that he had exchanged a blank check for the hunting right in the Snow Bear Country, he was quite satisfied, and felt that Bao Tong's kid had done a good job this time.
But in this case, he must not boast, otherwise Bao Tong's pigtails can reach the sky, and he may do something more outrageous next time.
"You kid just make trouble for me." Meng Qingxiao said, "Okay, get up, I have something else to do with you." ”
the Zhou Dynasty, Lao Tzu wants to kill you!
Meng Qingxiao beckoned to Bao Tong and said, "Come and take a look." ”
Meng Qingxiao pointed to the map and said to Bao Tong: "When we return to China this time, we need to break through at least three lines of defense of the enemy, this is the first, on the border line between the Snow Bear State and the Mongol Khanate, the second is here, the capital of the Mongol Khanate, Ulan City, and then the third, on the border line between our country and the Mongol Khanate." ”
"However, these are only the three lines of defense in theory, and once we break through the first line of defense, there will definitely be a steady stream of enemies who meet us in front."
"What do you mean, Commander?"
"We can't let this happen, we have to quietly cross the first line of defense." Meng Qingxiao said. "As long as the enemy doesn't let us find us, then the enemy's second line of defense is equivalent to non-existent, we can sneak all the way to the third line of defense, and then suddenly attack, and then we can easily return home."
Bao Tong scratched his head and said with a little surprise: "Then what should be done?" I'm sorry Commander, but you know I'm stupid, and I can't think of any good idea. ”
"We have to find a way to make the legions of the Snow Bear Country attract the enemy's attention and provide favorable conditions for our infiltration."
"They're not going to do this kind of thing, are they?" Bao Tong said in surprise, "They are still counting on us to give them a striker." ”
"Of course they won't do it, so we need to push them."
Bao Tong suddenly became excited, and shouted: "Commander, what do you need me to do?" ”
"Damn, be quiet!" Meng Qingxiao gave him a burst, "I'm afraid that others won't hear it, right?" ”
"Hey, hey, sorry, I'm so excited!"
Meng Qingxiao asked, "Is there an artillery brigade in Bogusky's corps?" ”
"Yes."
"Tonight, someone from the Snow Bear Military Department will invite me and Audrey to a dinner party, and there may be a ball."
"I have already made a rumor that I will give them our remaining 4 sets of second-generation Luohong as gifts at the dinner."
"That idiot commander of the Snow Bear Country is a guy who likes others to sing praises to him, so he will definitely let all the officers above the school level of the Far Eastern Corps be present."
"You have to take this opportunity to sneak into Bogusky's artillery brigade with your mount and steal all his artillery."
Bao Tong's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was shocked, but he quickly turned from shock to ecstasy, and let out an irrepressible hehe, but his mouth asked rhetorically: "Commander, they are our allies, alas, it's not appropriate to steal their guns, right?" ”
"How can this be called stealing?" Meng Qingxiao retorted dissatisfiedly, "Didn't I send four sets of second-generation Luohong to them, that's our last bit of inventory, this is called a gift exchange!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, courtesy, courtesy, courtesy, or the commander can speak." Bao Tong laughed, but soon his face became bitter again, "But commander, won't they doubt us?" ”
"Suspicion is suspicion, do they have evidence?" Meng Qingxiao asked rhetorically, "The people of the Otherworldly Legion, taking advantage of the dinner party held in the Snow Bear Country, stole all their cannons, or we stole all their cannons, which one do you think is more credible?" ”
Bao Tong finally got his senses, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it must be the people of the Otherworldly Legion who stole it to be more credible, but they are from the other world, and they must have the means to steal the cannons of the Snow Bear Country unknowingly." ”
"But—" Bao Tong wondered again, "if we steal their cannons, will they help us attract the attention of the Atlas Legion?" ”
Meng Qingxiao shook his head and said, "Not only will they not, they will probably force us to be a striker for them immediately." ”
"Ah, then I'm going to steal their cannons, won't I shoot myself in the foot?"
"Hehe, so we can't let them know we're going to steal the cannon." Meng Qingxiao sneered.
"Isn't there a miniature nuclear warhead in your dimensional space, and when you steal the cannon, you can completely destroy Bogusky's corps with a nuclear bomb."
"Ah, they're going to wipe their corps out of this world, so why steal artillery?"
"Damn, why are you stupid again, can I use those cannons to get away with it?"
"Hey, don't fight, commander, wouldn't it be even more stupid to fight again." Bao Tong hurriedly covered his head, "I know, you want to keep it for ourselves." ”
Meng Qingxiao ignored him anymore and sneered: "The Otherworldly Legion wants to create a ground war where neither side uses weapons of mass destruction, just like the ancient wars, and those idiots in the Snow Bear Country actually acquiesced. ”
"Now, let me teach them how to fight again, they don't need weapons, so why develop them?"
"Once you use a small nuclear bomb against Bogusky's corps, the Snow Bear State military headquarters will definitely be furious and order a counterattack."
"The Otherworldly Legion 50 kilometers away from us will definitely become his target."
"When the war between the two sides is about to break out, it will be time for us to set off, I will apply to the military of the Snow Bear Country to sneak attack the enemy camp, and they will definitely agree."
Bao Tong shouted with reverence: "Commander, you are too strong, you are my idol for life!" ”
"Don't be a sycophant." Meng Qingxiao solemnly reminded, "This matter can only be done by you, you must guarantee to complete the task for me, and the fate of our entire legion will be in your hands!" ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Bao Tong quickly stood up and saluted.
"Also, these words I said to you tonight, you will rot in your stomach, and you are not allowed to say them until we leave here, even from Master Min Keyong."
"Yes."
"Go get ready." Meng Qingxiao waved his hand to let Bao Tong leave, and then sat down on the chair with a long sigh, compared to his military command of wisdom and martial arts, his private life was simply a mess.
He was a very cheerful big boy, he thought that he would never have a secret in his life, he would enthusiastically share everything that happened at school with his family, and he would also be eager to share the so-called secret with his friends.
But now, he has friends by his side, but he doesn't dare to confide in him.
