I don't know since when, Suldak, the captain of the second squadron of the 4th Battalion of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment, has become Baron Sidney's most capable subordinate.
Whenever the regiment headquarters issues some important tasks, Baron Sidney will first think of letting the second team carry out the tasks. The main reason is that Captain Surdak can complete the tasks beautifully every time.
The secret post on the west side of the camp was destroyed by evil spirits. This flaw should have been discovered after the attack on the camp, but it was the negligence of the young noble officers in the war room that caused the second batch of infantry soldiers who went to change the guard to be destroyed by evil spirits.
Ghost Massacre, if the second squad of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment hadn't acted smartly, avoided the ambush of the evil ghost squad, and sent the information back to the camp in time, I am afraid that another squad on duty would have made the same mistake again.
This expeditionary force not only suffered some losses, but also made the officers in the military war room lose face.
Although one of the infantry squads who died in the battle was from the 57th Regiment, this did not prevent Count Mondgos from praising Baron Sidney.
Baron Sidney was in a good mood. Count Mondgos promised that after this plane war, he would help him upgrade his title from third-class baron to first-class baron. For Baron Sidney, upgrading two levels in a row was considered a success.
After successfully preserving the family's honor, even if a son is born and does nothing in the future, he will at least have to wait for his grandson to inherit the title and become a third-class baron.
There was steaming stew and wine as thick as blood on the square table in the military tent. Baron Sidney was sitting on a chair with a pair of knives and forks in his hands, eating with gusto, a stream of grease dripping from the corner of his mouth.
He tore a piece of white bread from the basket and stuffed it into his mouth, then drank the last bit of wine in the glass.
Suldak sat opposite him with some restraint, holding a silver cup in his hand. He didn't know whether he should drink the last sip of wine in time or save it until the end.
Baron Sidney motioned to the servants around him to fill up Suldak's glass with wine, then took a piece of ice from the ice bucket and threw it into his cup. With a noble arrogance on his face, he said to Suldak
Ke said: "This is red wine shipped from Meswindo, the city of Helensa. Only by adding ice cubes can you taste the sweetness of the bitter black grapes there. You can have another glass!"
Baron Sidney asked the servant to add some stew to Suldak's plate, then put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said with a smile to Suldak:
"Your team has performed well recently..."
Suldak knew this very well, otherwise Baron Sidney would not have invited him to dinner. It was rare for an ordinary squad leader to have such an honor.
"As for your future plans, I mean you can't be a heavy armored infantry all your life!" Baron Sidney took a glass of water handed over by the servant, took a sip and said.
Suldak thought for a while and felt that there was nothing bad to say about retirement. Moreover, his application for retirement also needed the signature of Baron Sidney, so he said:
"Sir Sidney, I have two more months. After my military service is over, I want to return to Hiranza!"
Baron Sidney's eyes showed some surprise. He did not expect that Suldak was already a veteran with four years of military service and was about to retire at this time.
If it was two months ago, Sidney might not have even thought about this kind of thing. Since his military service has expired, he has nothing to say. He will stamp his seal on the retirement application and wait for the logistics department to make unified arrangements to return to Bayi.
Na Province.
But now, Sidney discovered that Suldak was actually a pretty good squad leader, and he was in need of such a young and capable leader, so Baron Sidney said to Suldak:
"So... do you have any idea of continuing to serve in the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment? The regiment lacks young warriors with both strength and wisdom like you. If you are willing to stay, you will be the deputy squadron leader of the 6th Squadron.
I will adapt to the position for two months. When Old York retires at the end of his term, I will recommend you to Count Mond Goss for the position of captain of the Sixth Squadron."
Surdak never thought that more than a month after being promoted to squad leader, Baron Sidney would actually want to promote him again.
In the heavy armored infantry regiment, the treatment and status of the squadron leader and the squad leader are very different.
The first is the issue of identity. The squad leader only selects some relatively capable soldiers from the ordinary soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment to serve. In other words, the squad leader is still just an ordinary soldier, but his salary has been improved. But the squadron leader is not
Anyone who can be promoted at will and can become a squadron leader basically has the status of a knight.
It is not easy to become a knight. First, a nobleman needs to write a letter of recommendation to the local consul. Of course, this nobleman only has the right to recommend. After receiving the recommendation letter, if the consul thinks it is necessary, he must make a recommendation.
This reserve knight undergoes various assessments, and is considered a reserve knight only if he passes all assessments.
Becoming a knight requires a quota. Only nobles above earl have the power to ennoble knights.
Generally speaking, a count can only lead a squad of knights, while a marquis can lead an order of knights.
If Surdak wants to become a real knight, in addition to passing the necessary examinations, he must also obtain a limited number of places from Count Mond Goss, and also have a fief of his own.
Count Mond Goss wanted to make Surdak a knight, so he had to pay not only a limited number of places, but also a fief.
The 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment has a total of five brigades, and each brigades have five squadrons. Each squadron leader is actually a knight, but the only knights in the infantry regiment who actually belong to Count Mond Goss are
Twelve.
These twelve knights are distributed in the first squad, the second squad and the fourth squad. The knight squadron captains in the other squads are from the other two noble counts of Helensa City. These twelve knights are considered Mondstadt.
.A confidant of Count Goss.
Baron Sidney certainly had no right to promote Suldak to squadron leader.
If he wanted to promote Surdak to squadron leader, he would need to obtain a knighthood from Count Mond Goss.
Baron Sidney's promise to Suldak should have at least been approved by Mond Goss.
This sudden news completely disrupted Suldak's plan.
Suldak stood up at a loss and said earnestly to Baron Sidney:
"Sir Sidney, can you let me think about it?"
Seeing that Surdak was not knocked unconscious by such a great thing, Baron Sidney was a little surprised. He looked at Suldak seriously and said:
"Of course, you can come to me anytime if you think about it!"
…
He Boqiang never expected that the second team had done so many things recently that Baron Sidney would be appreciated.
Therefore, the second team was involved. There was no doubt that Surdak was the biggest beneficiary. This time, no one thought that Surdak would be recommended to become the squadron leader. This kind of thing did not happen in the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment.
But it’s rare.
Do all the soldiers in the heavy armored infantry regiment know that the squadron commanders in the fifty-seventh heavy armored infantry regiment were personally appointed by Count Mond Goss?
When the soldiers of the second team heard that Baron Sidney actually wanted to promote Suldak, they felt a little weird.
Augustus, Big Beard, Red Stocking and Billy and others gathered around asking questions. Augustus said to Suldak:
"Squadron leader? I heard that soldiers who can become squadron leaders have the opportunity to study at the Knight Academy. So, Surdak, you may be about to become a knight?"
Although he didn't know how credible Baron Sidney's words were, Suldak still nodded.
It seems that the identity of knight is very attractive to Surdak, at least it is a change of identity for him.
The bearded Kagel said: "Although knights are not considered nobles, at least Count Mondgos will give you a fief. A piece of land that belongs to you. You don't need to pay taxes to others. All output
It's all yours."
Red Socks also said: "And I heard that knights also have inheritance rights..."
