2163 Blood Double Cross (22)
"Bang Bang"
Cowhide riding boots stepped on a scattered pool of blood, Gredalt followed by several guards, walked into the new barracks whose gates were overturned, the homeless people stormed the barracks is not terrible, in front of the real army, even if the number of homeless people doubles tenfold, it will definitely not be able to compete with the army, but if in this impact, let those noble people be damaged, their good days will be over, and the speed of Gledat's mobilization of the army this time is definitely the fastest in the past
"Any officer who hesitates to give orders will be dismissed at the first opportunity, and any soldier who does not carry out the order will be seized on the spot" The orders conveyed to the units showed the resolute will of the commanders, and the Corps, which was originally a new regiment composed of garrisons and border guards, had different levels of strength in carrying out orders.
But this time, the officers were at a very first-class level, and the commander's anger was secondary, but the outcasts stormed the barracks
No matter how it is dealt with in the end, it is inevitable that the 17th Corps will be affected from top to bottom, "how can a front-line corps that even the displaced people cannot control make the enemy fearful on the battlefield? The 17th Corps is a combination of incompetent people." Thinking about this kind of assessment, which is enough to determine the fate of all soldiers, it will appear in front of the upper echelons of the military headquarters as quickly as possible, everyone's eyes are dizzy, and the future is gray.
This is a matter related to everyone's future, who would not care,
"Quick, assemble!" the officers rallied as fast as they could, even before the personnel could be assembled. I didn't dare to stop for a moment and drove towards the new military camp, and I was gritting my teeth and praying in my heart, ten million. Don't let it happen, you should have driven away those displaced people who came from the Eastern Province a long time ago,
Isn't it just a few women who have died? In these years, as long as it is on the border, where there are no people who have not died, endure it for a few months, maybe those young masters will be happy. The blockade of the border can also be lifted, what a fuss! Moreover, this incident has also impacted so many people and things that cannot see the light.
For example, the officers are paid empty salaries, such as those young master soldiers who are stuffed in, is this the end of the 17th Corps? The whole kingdom is preparing for war with all its might, but the wealthy families in Kyoto have sent a large number of their children to the 17th Corps, which seems dangerous. In fact, it is an extremely safe place, once this matter spreads, it will be a heavy scandal that will shake the kingdom, and it may even lead to the turmoil of the entire army of Fei Shan.
In order to cover the lid, the bigwigs of the military department may send all the officers of the entire corps to the front-line death squad!
There is no need to question this possibility, compared to a mere border army, the nineteenth army, the combined strength of the Kyoto bigwigs is terrifying, and it is a dense empire. The 19th Corps is just a weed under this tree, as long as the top is willing. There are definitely a thousand ways to vaporize the 19th Corps from top to bottom,
Failure to take into account the safety of the new barracks is already a fault, and it is still hesitant to deal with it, that is, to seek death by oneself! The subtext of the order from the Corps Headquarters is basically like this, if you want to live, everyone should hurry up!
Enough of a mess! I hope nothing goes wrong! His eyes swept over the scene in front of him, frowning slightly. It was messy everywhere, but fortunately, the army arrived in time, the mob that stormed the barracks was suppressed by force, nearly a thousand people were arrested, and more than a hundred people died in the conflict.
Gledat walked up to an officer who was directing the cleanup and asked, "How's it going?
"Big ...... My lord!"
The officer was startled, hurriedly saluted, and said, "No one was injured, and they arrived in a very timely manner, but it is inevitable to be frightened, otherwise I really don't know what is going on!" The officer knew very well that the people in the corps commander's mouth were referring to that kind of people, and these homeless people were not considered people in the eyes of the corps commander.
"Yes, that's fine!" Gredalt secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the report, looked around, and suddenly asked with a slight cold face
"What about the Harlem squadron leader in charge, as the guard officer of the new barracks, the main person responsible for this storm, did he not even show his face when such a situation occurred? Or did he really think that he could hide like this, and immediately find him, and if there was no reasonable explanation, I would break his dog's legs!"
"Lord Harlem didn't return from the night's night......" replied the officer, who was Harlem's adjutant, with an ugly face
"What are you talking about! Harlem has not returned from the night!" Gledat's face was as cold as winter, he felt strange just now, in order to ensure the safety of those young masters, he had put a lot of effort into the new military camp, chose a good location, and transferred a full squadron of troops, a full three hundred fully armed soldiers, the person in charge was Harlin, his brother-in-law, on the one hand, to protect, on the other hand, it was also to deter those displaced people,
The terrain chosen for the new military camp is relatively high, the residential area of the displaced people is low, and the advantage of condescending is self-evident, in the case of complete troops, not to mention being stormed by the barracks, it is difficult to get close to fifty meters, and the archers on the watchtower are enough to block most of the impact fifty meters away,
"Even if it is attacked by a real enemy, it can hold out for a while, how can a group of outcasts rush through the gate?" Gredat thought at the time, but after listening to the officer's report, he realized that the new barracks sentry that was supposed to have 300 people stationed was only about 100 in the morning, and the other 100 or so were taken out by Harlem to fight last night
It is precisely because of the lack of troops, coupled with the absence of the commander, that in the face of such a large number of displaced people, just an adjutant is completely useless, at that time, at least the adjutant did not dare to categorically order a suppression, fortunately, this adjutant is smarter, the first time to ask for help from the base camp, in addition to the remaining hundred people are all concentrated in the back of the barracks, to protect the critical personnel, so that there was no major accident after the displaced people rushed in!
"You've done a good job, from now on, you're taking Haring's place!" Gredart said to the officer.
The officer of "this ......" was somewhat overwhelmed
"This is an order! Harlem will be arrested immediately when he returns!" Gledat said in an accentuated tone, waving his hand, and his heart was also extremely angry. Nima, Harlem, you bastard, drop the chain for me at the critical moment, it doesn't matter if you want to die, don't pull me! Thinking that he almost has a great future from the present, the future important minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs is likely to become a big soldier who will be pushed to the front line of daring to die. The hatred in Gledat's heart, this Harlem usually defaults on gambling debts everywhere in the name of Gledat. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was still loyal to him, Gledat would have sent him back to his hometown a long time ago.
If such a big incident happened today, you can't blame yourself for being ruthless. All the blame is on Haring's head, and it can be regarded as a little interest charged by that guy for the care he gives on weekdays, if that guy dares to stab himself, he will be arrested and executed directly! Gledat's eyes were bloodshot, and the fingers holding the horsewhip clenched violently, making a gurgling sound, and now his mind was full of how to try his best to clear up the misunderstandings of those big people, and he had even decided to sacrifice some of them. Otherwise, how can it be possible to show sincerity?
Let's go and see what the big guys are doing! Gledat waved his hand and asked the officer to lead the way.
"Your Excellency, please!" the officer's face was excited. This is Lord Gledat really regards himself as the person in charge, and the two of them walked into the back of the new barracks, in order to take care of these young master soldiers, it has long been an independent courtyard, just in terms of environment, I don't know how much better than the ordinary soldiers' room in front. In front are rows of simple wooden houses, while here are rows of solemn villas. The environment is also excellent, with cobbled pavement, separated by long-leaved needle pine forests on the roadside, and the wind blows through it, which is refreshing. Definitely a quiet environment, comfortable to stay, not so much a military camp, more like a resort under the guise of a military camp,
Isn't it just a vacation? Do you still expect that the young master soldiers to really go to the front line to fight, Gredat looked at the front, here is filled in one-third of the recruitment funds of the new corps, so the more than 20,000 vacant soldiers are guided, and now they are only scattered to recruit three or four thousand people, but Gredalt definitely thinks it is worth it, isn't it just to recruit a few less big-headed soldiers, anyway, there is no fight here for the time being, the chaos in Istanbul itself, it is impossible to settle down without three or four years, not to mention that there is a strong fortress of Helena in front of it, and the recruitment of troops can be slowed down, as long as those young master soldiers can say a few good words about themselves to Kyoto, it will be worth everything!
At the entrance of the steps against the mountain, where was a middle-aged nobleman in a formal dress, talking to a few idle young masters and soldiers, and the flattery on his face was about to flow to the ground
"When did this bastard Johnny come here?"
Gledat's footsteps paused, his face suddenly looked gloomy, Johnny is Newlen's political officer, and Gledat belongs to the same military and political head, I heard that he is a relative of the Minister of Finance, and I don't know where to get the news this time, knowing that the children of wealthy families in Kyoto are collectively serving in the 17th Corps, they are extremely diligent,
As an administrative officer, it is his duty to resettle the displaced people, and this guy is this guy who pretends to be public and private to place the displaced people near the new military camp, nominally to facilitate the supervision of the army, but in fact it is to please the hobby of those children of wealthy families, which has increased a lot of pressure on the army out of thin air! If it weren't for this sycophant's idea, how could there be such a mess?
Wanderers shouldn't let go of the border at all, Gredalt felt disgusted in his heart, Johnny also saw Gredal, and after saying a few words to the two wealthy children, he laughed a few times before turning around and walking over to Gredal, "Master Johnny!" Gredal bowed
"Gredal Commander!" Johnny's flattering face just now suddenly turned cold and arrogant, and his tone was full of aggressiveness, "What the hell is going on? It's good that I'm just patrolling the neighborhood, otherwise how would you let me explain this to the adults above!I know that the army has made a mistake, I don't know, I think I'm Johnny has lost control of the region!" "I'm sorry, this happened." Gledat bowed his head and saluted, took a deep breath, and held back the anger in his heart, the other party not only stood on the righteousness, but also placed there beside him, Johnny was a regional guard officer appointed by the kingdom himself, but not a corps commander formed during a special period like him Gledat, although the two were in the same rank, but their essence was completely different.
In order to expand the army, it is very common for the kingdom to reorganize its troops to form corps, but this kind of temporary corps. Once the war is over, most of them will return to their original identities, but the local magistrate Ze will not shrink at all, so the meeting between the two, Johnny has been overwhelming the military Gredat from the beginning, and the arrogance on his face does not need to be concealed at all, don't look at you as the corps commander. After the war, who knows who you will be?
Johnny looked at Gledat for a few seconds. Thinking that this guy's attitude was okay, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Forget it, I won't say more nonsense." At this time, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, if you can't suppress this matter, you Gledat go to the front, I will also be pushed to the end, even if the decades of hard work are over, I have been appeased by the children of the wealthy family, and it is generally stable, but there are still people injured. This must be punished severely, the murderer must be punished severely, you know what to do!" "Of course! I understand," said Gledat, nodding his head. Severe punishment of the murderers...... Who is the murderer?
It was simply the riot caused by those young master soldiers, of course Gledat couldn't say that, he said, "It seems that the incident is very bad, the army has captured about a thousand people, how can it kill a hundred or ten, if it doesn't work." Just kill three hundred, anyway, those homeless people are like weeds. From time to time, I need to fix it, "That's fine, and I'll send a detailed report on this matter tomorrow!" When Johnny heard his answer, he felt quite satisfied, but he gave the other party a guarantee, how could he use a hundred or ten heads to suppress the shock, today is already the first to get a bargain, he is the first to rush over to condole, you Gledat is only here now, how can it be a bad attitude, and this matter is also caused by the lack of protection by the military, Gledat, the head of the corps, can already add a preface, with such a person, why do you need to spend more saliva! Johnny sneered at the corner of his mouth" Do it yourself!" Turning to leave, "Old fox!"
Gledat scolded in a low voice in his heart, the green tendons on his temples bulged, and the old fox appeared really quickly! There is Johnny's eyeliner in the barracks, Gledat knows that it is himself who quells the chaos, and it is Johnny who gets the praise, if someone really dies, I am afraid that this old fox is how far away to hide, what grasshoppers on a string, liars, if there is a chance to get rid of the other party, he will definitely choose Johnny, and Johnny will also choose himself, this once-in-a-lifetime promotion opportunity, one person is enough, and the two are too little!
At this moment, a herald cavalry rushed in from outside the barracks,
A flaxen-haired officer jumped off his horse, his brand-new cowhide riding boots stained with a lot of mud, and the armor on his body was crooked, and he looked like he had obviously rushed a lot.
'My lord, urgent military report!'
The officer who rushed out of Helena desperately rushed out of the road, because he was too eager, and he fell on the road, and the muddy water on his body was even more wolfy, and several soldiers next to him hurriedly ran over to help him up
"Oh, is this Lord Gledat's officer? It's really a rare elite, it's an eye-opener!haha" Johnny saw this scene, and stopped, his tone mocking, and he looked like he was watching the excitement,
"Anita, what's the matter with you? As a king's official, don't you even have the most basic military demeanor!" Gledat snorted in annoyance, this time it was really a shame to be thrown home! In front of it, the homeless people stormed the barracks, and now there is such a scene, what kind of day is today! Can't you let Johnny, the old fox, see enough of the jokes!
"Your Excellency, urgent military report, the Iranian army is attacking Helena, with tens of thousands of troops, Lord Mohaviro asks for support!" the officer gasped for breath, his voice staccato and staccato said
"Are you sure you didn't wake up?How could the Iraqi army storm Helena Fortress, where did the Iraqi people get such strength and guts!" Gredat was furious, his face did not believe, Johnny's face changed, he is a regional magistrate, if the Iraqi people are really attacking Helena Fortress, then the next target is Nuren,
"The subordinates led eleven people to break through the siege, and bumped into the other party's scouts along the way, but I was the only one who ran out, how could I be mistaken!" A trace of hideousness flashed on the officer's face, thinking of his dead subordinates, and his expression was gloomy and said, "Just this morning, the Iranian army suddenly entered the border defense line, and then advanced to the Helena Fortress in the posture of a large army, as far as we know, the opponent's strength is 10,000 forwards, and the follow-up army is not clear, but there are only 5,000 people in the Helena Fortress, and I ask the Lord to send reinforcements immediately"
"Come, immediately order the nearest 5th and 6th squadrons to rush to Helena Fortress, and the other squadrons immediately assemble!" Gredalt took a deep breath and ordered behind him. The officer's expression showed that this was not a lie, the Iraqi army really pressed the border, and he was also an old man who had been in the border guard for more than ten years, and he was very skilled in the stationing and deployment of the border defense, Helena Fortress as a Nuren outpost, the gate on Fesan's eastern defense line, once it was broken through by the Iraqi army, the Nuren side would have to face the Iranian soldiers, anyway, you must want to keep the Helena Fortress, so you have time to wait for backup
"Slow down, Lord Gledat, what are you doing!Draw Nulen's troops to support Helena, what do you want Nulon to do?And what about those honorable young masters?" I don't know when, Johnny has already come to the side, and when he heard Gledat's order, he said loudly with an ugly face, "You have to think clearly, whether it is important to keep a Helena fortress, or it is more important to protect those noble people from Nuren!"
"This ......" Gledat hesitated, Helena is not hot, but those noble people are not less protected
"My lord, the enemy is strong, and if there are no reinforcements, Helena will be finished!" the officer shouted heartbreakingly,
"Alright!" Gledat nodded, and was about to give the order, when suddenly the officer let out a terrible scream, his hand slammed his chest, and his eyes looked at the tip of the sword that came out of his chest in disbelief, and the bright red blood beads dripped down the tip of the sword to the ground, and the officer turned his head with difficulty, looked at Johnny who was holding the hilt of the sword behind him, and reached out to grab Johnny's hand, and the bloody hand grabbed Johnny's hand holding the sword
"Why ......" the officer's voice was muffled, and his body fell to the ground, never moving again
"You!" Gledat's eyes were glazed over, blinded by the situation before him
"That's it, Your Excellency didn't receive Helena's request for help, and Helena's responsibility has nothing to do with Your Excellen!It's more important for your Excellen to consider evacuating Nuren immediately!" Johnny pulled his sword from the officer's corpse with a grim face, handed it to the servant beside him, and wiped the blood from his hands with a white handkerchief (to be continued)
