Chapter 93: Rewards for meritorious deeds, espionage operations
After finishing the 21st century and Lugu Town, Xiao Lin finally had time to reward the soldiers with merits. He was too busy before, and his three brothers, Yu Xiao, Zhao Menghai and Qu Jun, were all helping with the 21st century. Others with a little ability were also sent to Lugu Town to take charge of the overall situation, so Xiao Lin did not have enough staff to count the military merit statistics. After two weeks of busyness, he counted these things. It has been nearly two months since the previous war.
Even ordinary soldiers were a little anxious. They were still waiting to get the reward and went to the supermarket to shop wildly. As a result, the military merit statistics were not completed, and they were delayed until now. If they were not given rewards, the soldiers would have to complain. No wonder they were. Rewarding and punishing for their merits was the best way to manage the army. So, just after the statistics were completed, Xiao Lin started a commendation meeting in the military camp.
In addition to sending the bonus and appreciation letters of the 600 warriors in Deer Valley Town directly, the remaining 1,400 warriors attended the commendation meeting. Outside the barracks, a large group of civilians watching the fun were surrounded. The trading caravan led by Raul and James, had also heard of this and came to see the fun. Speaking of which, these two people now have the superficial attitude to stand with the Yanhuang Trading Company. The annihilation of the Adams family and the Pandey family coalition has shocked the British. They feel that the British are afraid that they will not be able to grow up here.
If the Yanhuang Trading Company had not shown any strength in the Navy, they would have had a little luck in their hearts for the Royal Fleet, and they would have joined the company directly.
In the spacious military camp training square, there were 1,400 soldiers standing in line, waiting for the exciting time to get promoted and make money. Several civilians were debugging the microphone on the podium, and Xiao Lin was also tidying up his clothes in a tent. After the microphone was debugged, someone trotted to inform Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin then walked out in a military uniform, wearing a straight green regular suit, which made Xiao Lin look more handsome. Yu Wei and Zhenzhu were beside him, and they were dazzling.
Xiao Lin walked up to the podium, took the microphone and started talking.
"Ahem, today should be a day that many people are looking forward to."
“Hahahahahaha…”
Xiao Lin's words ignited everyone's excitement, and there were laughter with a little embarrassing in his heart.
"In theory, I have to say a few words before the conference. However, seeing that everyone is anxious, then this commendation meeting will start directly."
"Okay! Smack..."
"First, let our fourth battalion commander Babu come up and announce the list of outstanding soldiers."
Xiao Lin handed the microphone to Babu who was waiting next to him, and he was considered a veteran of the company. Babu had done similar things before, but he had never been so nervous. In his opinion, this was a kind of honor and trust, and he almost read the wrong manuscript.
"Thanks to the Chairman for his trust in me, allowing me to give every outstanding soldier the rewards they deserve. Without further ado, now, we have invited fifty soldiers who have performed outstandingly in previous battles, Carl, Keor..."
With Babu's name, ordinary soldiers with private ranks left the team and trotted from the left to the rostrum. They performed well in the previous battles, not only killing more than fifteen enemies, but also had a good influence on their comrades around them. Babu and Xiao Lin encouraged these fifty soldiers, and then began to distribute military medals to them and wear new ranks. These fifty soldiers would leave the private ranks and officially become first-class non-commissioned officers, and would also serve as deputy squad leader in the army. In addition to these, there were also cash rewards of 200 Yanhuang coins.
Every soldier's eyes were red with excitement. This commendation meeting not only brought them honors, but also actual benefits. After being promoted to the non-commissioned officer, everyone's treatment was to a higher level, enough to support a family of five. After fifty people wore the ranks of non-commissioned officers, they saluted each other with Babu Xiaolin, and then left the rostrum from the right in turn. Xiaolin stepped forward, said some inspirational words, and then continued.
This time, the first battalion commander Jack was in charge. He was a little overwhelmed, but he still had to come forward in this situation. Jack announced a list of twenty outstanding non-commissioned officers. These non-commissioned officers commanded their squad well in the battle, causing hundreds of casualties to the enemy, because they would also become officers because of this credit. Of course, each person was just a second lieutenant. For the time being, there were not so many platoon-level officers to arrange them, so they could only serve as a squad leader with the treatment of an officer.
However, this situation will not last long. The recruitment and formation of the three new combat battalions are beginning, and they will soon serve in the new troops. Kent is one of these twenty outstanding non-commissioned officers. After thinking about the previous war, he still did not have waterproof. Although he couldn't bear to attack the white people, he could still deal with the Indians. In the last battle, he not only killed more than twenty Indian soldiers alone, but also commanded his own squad to cause a lot of damage to the enemy.
At this time, Kent was also very happy. After all, he worked hard and fought for his life, and got enough rewards, which also means that he was not working hard in vain. In the current British army, if you want to be promoted, you not only need military merit, but also interpersonal relationships, and even aristocratic blood or background. Because of this, the white people in the guards are unwilling to join the British army.
Kent is a powerful person. There was a platoon leader in the Sixth Battalion. Xiao Lin made the decision to let him take over. After receiving the inauguration letter and the award for the rank and merit medal, the non-commissioned officers also left the rostrum. Next, James appeared. Six well-performing platoon leaders stepped into the podium with his reputation. James and Xiao Lin also gave them experience. Finally, Apache came up and announced the list of three excellent company commanders. Three places, and the two brothers Sam and Dean occupied two.
However, the two of them rely on real materials and have no falsehood in their military achievements. Jack retired in half a year, and they were about to start receiving military training at the battalion commander level. No one expected that the two ordinary fishermen could become the top batch of officers in the powerful army.
The three company commanders left the rostrum and the commendation meeting ended. Xiao Lin had already given the reward from the battalion commander privately, all of whom were top officers in the guard team, so there was no need to be too ostentatious. Unless Xiao Lin and the battalion formed a regiment, they were not able to be promoted now, and of course there were both military ranks and financial rewards. The money rewards for ordinary soldiers were also directly distributed by the company platoon officers, and they were lined up in the playground. Xiao Lin pulled a few company commanders and took photos with those commended people.
The civilians who watched the fun outside also dispersed. To this day, the company has developed, and some self-employed businesses have appeared. They mainly processed some small decorations and operated some specialty foods, which has attracted many people to consume. Seeing the soldiers paying bonuses, the business will be much better in the past few days, and they have to go back to welcome these generous guests. However, among the crowd, a group of people seemed out of place and even turned pale.
The company has gained a reputation and the town has also welcomed many guests. In addition to Raul and James, there are also many caravans coming to the town. This group of people are the people who entered the town yesterday. Xiao Lin and the others are certainly not sure whether it is a real caravan, but the company also has to communicate with the outside world, otherwise it will not be able to squeeze out more profits. As long as these people do not bring weapons, do not cause trouble in the town, and do not enter confidential buildings that are strictly prohibited from approaching, there will be nothing wrong.
And this group of people was the last struggle of the two families Adams and Pandy. There were fifteen people in total, ten of them were from two families, and the other five were from the colony governor Charlie. The failure of the two families once again shocked the entire British and North American colonies. Charlie didn't plan to just forget it. He also wanted to be hostile to the Yanhuang Trading Company, but he also felt that he had to understand the situation of the company. Otherwise, he could only follow the footsteps of the two families. The strength of the two families was greatly damaged, and he could only defect to Charlie and be his loyal dog to ensure the existence of the family.
The reason they came to join in the fun was because a soldier who fled from the battlefield said that he had found Kent in the company's troops. Kent's parents died early and there were no relatives in the family who had close ties. After the war to destroy Pandy's town, Kent disappeared. They all thought Kent was dead, and no one went to investigate and verify it. But no one expected that Kent appeared on the enemy's side and even attacked them desperately.
In the eyes of the entire family, this is very unfilial. They originally wanted to send a killer to assassinate Kent. However, someone put forward a new suggestion, which was to bring Kent back and provide them with company information. Even so, everyone was still very angry when they saw Kent as an advanced representative of the enemy, who came to the stage to receive commendation, and was promoted and made a fortune. Here, they dare not act rashly, and they had to wait for Kent to leave the barracks before they could take action.
They were also lucky. Kent just took out a loan to buy his own house not long ago. Because he was in love, his partner was the daughter of a white family who first entered the company. With good living habits, sufficient cosmetics, and beautiful clothes, the women in the company were more beautiful than women from other colonies or Indian tribes. Kent is also fair-skinned, well-behaved and sensible, and he also has his own job while literate. He was fascinated by Kent. However, without a house, his parents were unwilling to hand over his daughter to him.
