Chapter 1684 Corruption

At night, the barracks of the new recruits were still empty. Occasionally, two or three soldiers appeared, and they were shaking their arms around with wine bottles. This actually seriously violated military discipline, but no officer came out to take charge, because the officers were not in the military camp.

Lula walked into the barracks in high leather boots, and didn't even see a guard along the way. The sound of footsteps was walking around, completely unimpeded. He was laughing at this moment like a tourist coming to visit, and not at all like a mad dog from the Punishment and Inventory Committee.

After walking around, Lula said nothing. Instead, he happened to meet Jon and Xie Guozhong who were staring in a daze in the military camp. Two missionaries from the Mormon Church were serious in suits, looking very energetic, but actually very depressed.

"Hi..." Lula took the initiative to come forward and greet him, "Are you... from the Mormon Church?"

Jon and Xie Guozhong, who had just been hit, could only force a smile. Lula was very famous, but not everyone knew him. Jon said in a formalized greeting: "Hello, I am Jon, Mormon's priest."

Lula made a name casually, shook hands and said with a groaning, "I heard that your missionary progress has been good recently, but today it seems a bit unexpected."

It was more than unexpected, it was extremely miserable. Not only did it take any time to work hard for several days, but the blood-lost pockets were not treated. In the end of the world, the money in the bank was gone. Jon's money was accumulated by himself, but who can understand the pain of losing money now?

Lula would not say that he was actually here to investigate the preaching situation of the Mormon Church today. However, his sneer made Jon feel very ashamed. The latter smiled awkwardly and bitterly: "We are indeed in some trouble, but we will not give up easily. The soldiers here still need us."

"That's right, the new recruits of the government army do need you, it depends on whether you can help them." Lula continued to smile.

Jon immediately said: "We have been trying our best to help them. I know they are about to go to the battlefield and they will have great casualties. But the Lord's glory will encourage them...."

Before Jon finished speaking, Lula shook her head and interrupted, "No, no, your help is too shallow. Your little hypocritical and ridiculous encouragement is useless at all, and it is not as good as a charity performance by the Catholic Church of Loyalty and Patriotism."

Jon was stunned. He turned his head to look at Xie Guozhong, as if he wanted to make sure he heard it wrong. Lula continued: "The soldiers are indeed very active in running towards your church, but do you know why? They just want the food you provide for free."

Jon and Xie Guozhong were even more puzzled.

"Because the Mexican officers in the recruits battalion withdrew the food, the soldiers were not full." Lula revealed the answer. But the two missionaries were even more confused.

Jon realized the seriousness of the problem and asked in a low voice: "The officers here are also promoted from the bottom. They are corrupt so quickly? Do they regard the recruits as exploitable assets? Are they not afraid of the punishment of the Legion?"

"Hahaha..., this is Mexico. Although I am also a Mexican, I know that the idea of ​​corruption is engraved in the minds of every Mexican. The key is that the army will not care about the Mexican government forces, and some people think they can do whatever they want."

Lula used to be a member of the Diago regime and a member of the gang. He knew his compatriots too well, and everyone was a victim of corruption and bad politics. But as long as he had the opportunity, the victim would become perpetrators.

"The deducted not only have food, but also salary. I bet that the officers of the recruits will share some of your interests in exchange for your shut-up. As for the recruits here, who cares about them? Will you stand up to protect their interests?" Lula said in a humming voice and left with a laugh.

If you were just depressed just now, then Jon and Xie Guozhong were shocked now. The two didn't know what the stranger who told them about this was, but they understood that they were trapped in a vortex.

"Jon..., are you going to report it?" Xie Guozhong asked nervously. When Lula told the truth, he had already believed it. Because he had long suspected that the soldiers in the barracks had their food deducted, otherwise the soldiers would have no reason to eat every time they came to the church.

"I need to do some investigation among the soldiers." Jon looked serious, "If this is true, I'll report it."

"Damn, are you looking for death?" Xie Guozhong cursed, "It's not your turn to investigate this kind of thing. You should go to other companies to find other missionaries, and they should also find out."

Jon was not stupid and immediately understood the awesome relationship. He left the camp where his company was located to find other missionaries, and did not come back quietly until the early morning of the next day. Xie Guozhong did not sleep all night and quickly asked about the situation.

"It's really damn, the situation is even worse than we thought." Jon seemed to be frightened when he came back. He was afraid of meeting the Mexicans in the military camp. When he returned to the tent church, he spoke when he saw Xie Guozhong: "This is not just a matter of deducting food expenses and salary."

Jon ran to more than a dozen companies overnight and even gathered many missionaries to summarize information. As a result, he found that some people in the government army were corrupt in the system, and almost all officers were making money. Some soldiers tried to report to the government, but they were lynched and executed after reporting.

This is the army that has just been formed for three months and has been handed over to the Nieto government for only two months. Such a big problem occurred in two months, and it has become corrupt too quickly.

As the soldiers who caused trouble were quickly suppressed, the confrontation between the officers and soldiers became extremely serious in an instant. The Mormon Church chose to cooperate with the current Mexican government, and the soldiers were rushed to brainwashed by the officers. The result was that the soldiers did not trust the Mormon Church at all, and at most they would eat and drink and fill their stomachs.

"Mexicans naturally have no confidence in the government. When Nieto came to power, everyone thought it was a different government. But now everyone finds that the new government is no different from the past government.

Many soldiers were fleeing, and a company fled one-quarter of the people. The officers simply captured another group of people to fill the gap. This kind of thing was even more concealed and the senior officers pretended not to know. But I think the legion might know about it, but I don’t know why I didn’t intervene.”

The more Jon said, the more angry he became, and the more he became more confused he became. But Xie Guozhong had worked in the Legion Foreign Ministry. He had seen many conspiracies and tricks, and he knew too well that his boss's style of doing things was ignored. This was clearly indulging.

"Let's report the situation and don't interfere with the rest of the matter." Xie Guozhong knew that he was just a minion and had no say in such a big thing.

"But..." Jon hesitated. Now the Mormon Church has cooperated with the Mexican government, and the Mexican government forces are their only basic base. He is not sure what consequences will be caused if this situation is reported.

Xie Guozhong was much more calm, "Report it, the church has no say in this matter. I bet that no matter what happens, our Majesty will have a solution. If you can't beat him at all, you'd better be honest."
