The roundtable meeting in Bana City is over, and the cakes for the local forces, the Chinese trade union, the Lao-Li team, and the Chinese region have all been distributed.
June 25, 1966.
Bruna's team held a press conference at the Administrative Building in Bana City, officially announcing that the political faction headed by Bruna would take over the administrative power here.
The next day, at around nine o'clock in the morning on June 26, the reorganized Blackwater Legion held a grand swearing-in ceremony and would also welcome their new swordsman-Boang Bernardo.
Regarding the decision of whether to let a young man who has just turned 15 years old serve as the supreme commander of the Blackwater Legion, several factions also had a certain dispute.
Some people believe that Boang is too young and has no ability to hold this position. By doing so, he is covering his ears and will also cause dissatisfaction among the administrative factions and people of Bana City.
But some people believe that the Blackwater Legion is originally the private armed force of the Bernardo family, and the grassroots soldiers also care about the purity of the commander's blood, so the candidate for the top officer can only be chosen between Bruna and Boang.
Both groups of people insisted on their opinions, but in the end it was Bruna who made the decision herself. She insisted on letting her younger brother take over the position, and claimed that if the ability is not enough, it can be cultivated slowly, and the young age is not a problem.
The current acting corps commander will assist him in completing his work.
The top executive of the administrative faction has spoken, so naturally it will be hard for others to say anything.
However, what outsiders don't know is that Bruna's decision was actually influenced by Su Tianyu. It was him who insisted that Boang give it a try, so the former went with the flow and stopped worrying.
Why must Bo Ang be promoted? Because he and Su Tianyu had secretly talked several times. The latter also felt that although this young man was young and not in good health, his brain was not empty and he could focus on training.
.
Moreover, in troubled times, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who has experienced various changes and been raised by a big family cannot be considered young. Huo Qubing was a wolf when he was less than 20 years old. Xiao Zhang was in his twenties during the Republic of China.
He also became the commander of the army.
In addition, Su Tianyu is very coveted by the Blackwater Army, so by letting Bo Ang take over, he can better control the development of the army and personnel adjustments, and it is also easier to gather leading cadres.
Based on the above reasons, Boang was pushed up by a huge force.
…
9:58 minutes.
The central square of Bana City has been put under martial law. The elite troops of the Blackwater Legion are arranged in four military official formations, holding steel guns, waiting for their new leader to appear under the scorching sun.
In the corridor behind the scenes.
Bruna pushed her brother in a wheelchair towards the exit of the curtain: "Don't be nervous! Trust me, there is nothing that can scare you! I will stand behind you."
"Squeak!"
The wheelchair came to a halt, and the soldiers on both sides of the curtain exit all saluted military salutes.
Behind Bruna, more than thirty men in suits all looked at the weak Boang in front.
"I'll push you out later!" Bruna said as she glanced at her watch.
"No, sister!" Boang flatly refused. He held the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands and pulled it up with a slight trembling of his body.
"I can help you...!" Bruna bent down and wanted to help.
"No, I can do it myself!" Boang stood up with sweat on his forehead, and bent down to look at his shoe uppers. They were clean and tidy, and the shoelaces were not untied.
Bruna stepped aside and said nothing.
Boang looked at the grooming mirror behind the scenes, carefully adjusted his suit, and turned around tremblingly: "...I order you not to help me for a while, and don't give me that damn crutch!"
"Yes, legion commander!" The people next to him saluted.
Boang stood behind the scenes with difficulty. After waiting for dozens of seconds, he heard the acting commander's call: "Welcome the new leader of the Blackwater Corps, Boang Bernardo, to give a speech to everyone!!"
"yes!!"
Neat shouts resounded outside. Boang's face turned pale, and he struggled to lift the curtain and walked out with his thin legs.
Although he is doing rehabilitation training every day, his naturally disabled body will never reach the level of a normal person. Every step he takes is very difficult, but he still relies on willpower to persevere.
His walking posture is very ugly, like a duck, he keeps shaking his arms, and his legs shake from time to time...
The audience was quiet. None of the soldiers laughed at Boang. They all looked at him solemnly. Boang also ignored the strange eyes outside the closed area. When he was tired from walking, he paused for a moment.
Less than fifty meters away, Boang walked for nearly a minute.
Finally, he came to the back of the podium.
"Snapped!"
The officers in the audience stood at attention and saluted.
Boang laboriously made a salute gesture, lowered his head and said into the headset: "From today on, I will succeed as the supreme commander of the Blackwater Corps! I am a polio patient, but I firmly believe that in the future,
One day, I will train and eat with you together, just like the closest comrades, working tirelessly to protect our beautiful Bana River!!"
The audience was quiet, and the soldiers stood astride.
In a separate passage backstage, Su Tianyu looked at Boang in front of the stage through a gap in the curtain, with a cigarette in his mouth and a calm expression.
Before Boang came to power, many of the sergeants below felt that this was a puppet army commander. He might still be wearing diapers so far. Such a person cannot lead the Blackwater Army.
But from the perspective of the Bernardo family, everyone needs to give him corresponding respect. After all, he is Tagu's younger brother and Nick's son.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Boang's speech was very passionate, logically clear, and had a strong attitude. It seemed different from what they imagined.
…
Half an hour later.
At the end of the speech, Bohan stepped down amidst a round of farewell applause, but he did not go to Bruna and only entered the separate behind-the-scenes corridor.
"That's very good." Su Tianyu said with a smile.
Bo Ang looked at Su Tianyu respectfully and said softly: "Dear Sir Su, it is you who brought peace to Bana City. My Blackwater Legion and I will always fight for you!"
Su Tianyu looked at him helplessly: "Haha, why do you say that?"
"Oh, Commander Su, I am not showing my loyalty to you." Boang said softly: "It was the soldiers you brought that ended the war here and brought peace to Bana City. Everyone here is you
Believers, including me, so I am willing to call you godfather for life...!"
"grass!"
Su Tianyu collapsed and replied: "Pull him down, this is a trick I used before I was twenty years old!"
"Please believe in my honesty!"
"Bana City will always be your Bana City, and we will always be guests. Don't guard me, and I don't want to push you too far. Only in this way can our cooperation last long!" Su Tianyu extended his palm.
"Yes, my dear godfather!"
"Pull him down, pull him down!"
The two shook hands with smiles on their faces!?
At this point, the battle for Bana City is over, and the rise of the Lao-Li team has become unstoppable.
