Chapter 32: Soldiers, Robbers, and Scumbags
"He is an outstanding soldier, an inventor, a scumbag, and a robber...... Well, wanted by very many countries in Europe, if possible you still managed to send him to the division headquarters. ”
It turned out that the guy was such a origin, and Xie Jinyuan was relieved.
Intuitively, as long as you tell him that you know who he is, then it shouldn't be difficult to control.
However, no matter what he thought, Lieutenant Colonel Marcus on the other side added,
"It's best not to let General Falkenhain know about him, or he'll be invited to join the advisory group...... Those old ...... Well, the old-school officer corps, too fond of superior military men. ”
Listening to a series of definitions, Xie Jinyuan really couldn't think of how a person could have so many "titles".
In the end, he asked with the last line of luck,
"Is he Chinese or ......?"
There was an incomprehensible laugh on the other end of the phone, and then Lieutenant Colonel Marcus said,
"German, it's a little interesting to talk about this, it is rumored that when he became a German citizen, he said that he wanted to do something in China, so he needed a foreign national, hehe...... I believe that Your Excellency will not like to hear such words. ”
"Thank you, in the future...... There is a chance to invite you to drink. ”
Hung up the phone and sat back in his seat, his trembling hands clenched into fists, his eyes almost cracked the corners of his mouth.
It didn't feel like someone else hit him in the face, but directly poked him in the heart with a knife.
Raising his fist, he wanted to smash the table and scold his mother......
But he wouldn't do that, he wasn't a company commander Tao, an ordinary officer who would be angry and make trouble, but had to give in in the end.
When it comes to nationality, Chinese people with a slight sense of dignity and shame are all angry when they hear it.
However, it is true.
Even a small sergeant in the advisory corps can knock over one of his own company commanders, but he has to talk carefully to Lieutenant Colonel Marcus on the phone.
This kind of thing will continue to be the same in the future, and the bullshit of the "state of etiquette" without asking questions about reasons and principles is simply a scourge for thousands of years.
Slowly, the clenched fist slowly loosened, and the fingers moved again.
So what does he want to do, what can he do, and why does he do it? ”
For the name?
What does a German want to do in China's name.
For money?
That guy robbed so much money, did he play with women.
No, if he is willing to spend money on women, then there should be no woman who calls him "scumbag".
So why did he risk his life to go to war?
Patriotic heart?
At this moment, Yang Ruifu, the commander of the first battalion, shouted a report outside the office,
"Come in."
Let go of the doubts in your heart, now is not the time to think about these things, in vain.
When I looked up, I saw that Yang Ruifu still had a worried look on his face, and he had a look of victory on his face.
"Don't worry, it's just a misunderstanding, there won't be a big problem, I've already contacted the lieutenant colonel of the advisory group."
Speaking of this, he considered it and instructed Yang Ruifu,
"That...... He's a good fighter, although over there...... Forget it's none of our business, bring me when he returns. ”
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, and Zhang Sixing's voice sounded,
"No, my dear Excellency, I would like to ask, do you have a chance to meet a former German second lieutenant?"
As he spoke, without waiting for the guard at the door to report or Xie Jinyuan's order, Zhang Sixing entered his office without permission.
In fact, buying himself an office on the battlefield seemed to him to be a ridiculous thing.
Seeing Zhang Sixing was just a coming, without taking Hansen. Raul, Xie Jinyuan and Yang Ruifu made a look.
The latter glanced at Zhang Sixing, as if to warn him not to make trouble, and then left.
"You may be seated."
Wearing his cloth suit, Zhang Sixing lit a cigarette, and then looked at the following table before saying,
"I can't sit longer, I think we have something to talk about, I'm busy and I need to go out."
looked at Xie Jinyuan, who was sitting precariously, and shook his head even more at the chairman's subordinates.
seems to be seeing that he is denying this practice, and for some reason Xie Jinyuan feels that he should explain,
"A good officer, even to be loved by the soldiers, also needs to keep a certain distance, this is ......"
Zhang Sixing shook his head at this,
"What the battlefield needs is discipline and morale, not this kind of 'humility' that separates officers from soldiers."
Such an argument with a certain academic connotation is meaningless, Zhang Sixing continued,
"The miscellaneous barracks and the other defeated soldiers you have collected are mine, the first and second floors are mine, and the third floor and above are yours."
I was thinking back to the "dignity and humility" issue that I just said, and then I heard such a strange request.
The first floor was obviously more dangerous and also had to face direct attacks from the Japanese. Commanders with a little bit of heart will put the army with poor combat effectiveness at the top.
Seeing that the other party is so casual, it is really a little funny to sit in a precarious position, Xie Jinyuan relaxed and asked,
"Don't you want to ask me what I think about the lower level of armament?"
Shaking his head, the look that flashed between Zhang Sixing's eyebrows,
"In this world, no one knows better than me."
Listening to his bragging that he doesn't pay taxes, Xie Jinyuan really wants to scold him, and if he can, he wants to beat him. But he was an officer in the state of etiquette, and he endured and waited for him to show off, trying to find a flaw to take him into the army.
"The work on the first floor is not to let the enemy have a chance to go upstairs, and secondly, to eliminate the enemy troops who come in, about these two things, you will know when you have time to go and see the deployment of the miscellaneous barracks."
Raised his wrist to look at his watch again, it was already 4:35, and Zhang Sixing felt that his time was probably not enough.
Standing up and throwing the cigarette butt on the ground to extinguish it, Zhang Sixing asked again:
"If you are not satisfied, we will follow your orders, and you see what happens. Also, don't worry about what I was doing in Western Europe, which happened to be a bit short of money at the time. ”
Xie Jinyuan's eyes widened, and he didn't understand how Zhang Sixing knew about his phone call with Lieutenant Colonel Marcus.
As for the defense on the first floor, seeing that he was so confident, Xie Jinyuan couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the so-called "arming" of this goods, and he nodded seriously,
"If Your Excellency can really lead that group of miscellaneous soldiers to defend the lower floors, then we will be very grateful."
Zhang Sixing was quite satisfied with Xie Jinyuan's answer, a soldier who did not follow the rules was worthy of victory on the battlefield.
He gave a disgraceful military salute and left.
After about half an hour, Yang Ruifu came to the office,
Reports
"Come in"
When answering, Xie Jinyuan suddenly felt that with this "report" and "coming in", he was afraid that everything was finished.
Looking up at Yang Ruifu who came in, his eyebrows were full of dissatisfaction, and even a little angry.
"Tuanza, you hurry up and take a look, those bastards in the miscellaneous barracks, where is the defense, it's just a child's house."
As soon as he heard Xie Jinyuan, he became interested, picked up his military hat and put it on his head,
"Let's go and see, I'd like to know what kind of building defense trick that guy from Germany can do. To be honest, Battalion Commander, this is the first time I've even heard the name Building Defense Technique. ”
While speaking, he took Yang Ruifu out of the office, and when he got there, he found that it was really as Yang Ruifu said, quite a bit of a children's house.
