Before dawn, Father Julio got up and washed himself. A veteran with outstanding merits had his own pride. He shaved his chin into a livid face in the mirror, neatly styled his hair, put on his military cap, and put on his ironed clothes.
He put on his military uniform, hung up all his medals and walked out of his room.
Julio considers it a great honor to be able to attend the wedding of the Legion Commander, or His Majesty the Emperor. Only the most elite and loyal members of the entire Aurora Legion are eligible to receive invitations. When he showed the invitations to others in Cuba
Look, it attracts countless envious and admiring looks.
After walking out of the room, Julio decided to have a meal. He was tall and energetic. Today was a day that was destined to go down in history. He did not allow himself to have any flaws. He hoped that his life would lead to the most glorious moment today.
.
At the legion's temporary guest house in Salt Lake City, people from all the units were leaving the room early. Father Julio met a young man in the restaurant, and after asking, he learned that the man was a company member from the 7th Infantry Division of Mexico.
long.
"Aha..., Rafael, you, a company commander, can come to the army commander's wedding? You are not qualified enough." Father Julio joked. He is already old.
No one in the entire legion is as qualified as him.
These words made the young Captain Rafael quite unhappy, but facing Julio, a veteran in the army, he could only apologize with a wry smile: "Dad, no one here can match your qualifications. But.
I also followed the commander of the regiment from Yucatan to Texas, and fought many bloody battles."
Hahaha... Father Julio also smiled bitterly. In fact, he was very reluctant to leave the army. He knew nothing but fighting. What can he do when he returns to Cuba? Will he spend the rest of his life cutting sugar cane? Wait until one day.
Lying in a hospital bed and being summoned by God? It's too boring for a soldier.
More and more soldiers came to the cafeteria, and everyone ate their breakfast quickly. The habits formed in the military cannot be changed. Father Julio ate more slowly, and after teasing Rafael a few words, he looked around
Surround said: "There are so many military cadres coming to the wedding this time."
"Yes." Raphael also looked up and looked around. The people at other tables were all backbones of the Aurora Legion, all officers. If you ask, you will find that almost all of them are experienced and fierce guys, even ordinary ones.
Soldiers are also often elite soldiers.
"That's Sergeant Major Richard, the chief marksmanship instructor of the Legion's sniper school."
"That's Rubin, who was once the legion commander's attendant. He endured the bloody battle in Zelaya for half a year and climbed out of the dead."
"That's old Harris. He used to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is now an instructor at the Corps' Special Operations Command. These people have all been personally commended by the Corps Commander. I have met them before."
A group of proud soldiers gathered in the restaurant. After dinner, they had nothing else to do. They told each other their names and found that everyone was at least the number one person who had been famous in the newspaper. In this inconspicuous temporary guest house, the battle of the legion
Almost all the elites came, hundreds of them.
"As long as we are given more soldiers and equipment, our combat effectiveness will not be less than that of a strengthened regiment." Raphael said happily with a smile.
When Raphael said this, there happened to be a gap in the chat, and everyone heard what he said. Everyone looked at each other blankly, feeling strange in their hearts - why are all the people coming to the Legion Commander's wedding this time?
Not a single one from the military, government, business, or peasant class was seen.
"Uh-huh..." The restaurant was quiet for a few seconds before twin sisters in military uniforms strode into the restaurant. The sister coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention and then said loudly: "Order from the Legion Commander."
With a swooshing sound, all the hundreds of people in the restaurant stood up. No matter their military rank, just looking at the faces of the twin sisters, they all knew that the 'order' had a lot of background.
The twin sisters looked very serious, and after scanning the crowd of elites present, they said: "Everyone, in order to ensure that this wedding goes smoothly, or that this wedding may not go smoothly, you have been specially selected.
In order to be fully prepared to deal with any possibility, you will not be able to attend the wedding of the regiment commander normally. You will be the backbone of the team, supplemented with a small number of soldiers and equipment, and temporarily formed into a special reinforcement regiment, ready to fight at any time."
Everyone in the restaurant looked solemn, as if everything had been expected. This wedding had surprised everyone from the beginning, and now something went wrong... Isn't this normal?
Commander Riven of the Special Operations Command was the regiment leader, with hundreds of elite officers as the backbone, and soldiers disguised as various service and handymen as the flesh and blood, and they were immediately organized into a force of about 1,500 people.
According to the agreement, the troops of both sides deployed in Salt Lake City only have one division. They can have more equipment, but the number of people is limited. But now the Aurora Legion has found a way to add a synthetic reinforcement group composed entirely of elites, which is still very powerful.
.
All the members of the reinforcement group were arranged in advance, and the formation was very smooth. The only one who was a little flustered was the older Julio. Rafael, who had just had dinner with him, was soon demoted to become a
Platoon leader, he was the only one not assigned.
"Sir, sir, what about me? Give me a crew and an old '59'. I am the best commander." Father Julio took the initiative to find the officers in the formation and asked for a fight.
As a result, the officer who formed the temporary reinforcement regiment said in an awkward manner: "Dad Julio, we don't have any old '59s' here, and you don't have to participate in this battle. Your being transferred here this time is completely a part of our preparations."
Mistake, we didn’t want you to be so old..."
"So what if I'm older? I'm still the best commander in the legion, and my experience is much better than those idiots. I have participated in all the important battles of the legion. If there is a firefight this time, then there will be no exception."
Father Julio's attitude was very tough. It was an insult to him not to let him participate in the battle. He could not accept that he could only watch on the battlefield. The marshaling officer had no choice but to put the oldest commander of the legion in one place.
On a VT-5 tank.
Just a short while after getting into the tank turret, Father Julio got out of the turret again and said to the gunner: "I don't know how to play with the advanced equipment in the turret, so I will directly command from outside. Don't worry, even if we really want to fight, I will."
In urban warfare, it is much more convenient outside the turret than inside the turret."
That's true. The biggest trouble with tanks is poor visibility, and poor visibility can be fatal in urban battles. However, the gunner said worriedly: "Father Julio, there is no armor to protect you outside."
Yes. If there is a stray bullet or something..."
Father Julio waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "I'm not afraid of dying in battle, I'm just afraid of dying of old age."
In just one hour, the special reinforcement regiment was organized and quickly entered the first level of combat readiness. On the balance of military power in Salt Lake City, the Aurora Legion had an extra weight.
