Claude was on the verge of crying. He didn't even know how he walked out of General Felidos' office. He was holding the conscription order in his hand, and all he heard was General Felidos encouraging him to work hard in the army.
He came out of the Bailu City Administrative Center with words of earnest expectation and a confused mind. He looked up at the sky and slapped himself on the thigh again. After confirming in pain that he was not dreaming, Claude sat down in the administrative center.
On the steps at the entrance of the center.
This is a scene that Claude would never have dreamed of. Who would have thought that General Felidos, whom he had only met once, would be so concerned about his enlistment in the army. Not only did he write a letter of recommendation to himself, but he was also called for recruitment.
The order was handed over to him personally. What kind of boring person could do this? After calming down, Claude realized that he had been implicated by the result of graduating first in the physical education department of the junior high school.
Already...
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have had to fight so hard to compete with Verricro for the first place when I graduated. Even though Madam Maria had already mentioned in the letter that the kingdom would not recruit troops this year and would conduct a large-scale recruitment campaign next year.
, in order to prepare for the war against the five anti-Austrian alliance in the east, but at least it would be a year late to enlist in the army. Maybe Mrs. Maria can get herself a pardon exempt from military service...
But now it's too late. The conscription order has been issued to me. If he is not drafted at this time, he will be treated as a deserter, and at least he will have to serve for more than twenty or thirty years. Although he does not have to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield, his situation is similar.
Slaves, without freedom, without enough food and clothing, without warmth, and being supervised and working exhaustingly day and night, would be better off going to the battlefield and dying more happily.
Maybe she shouldn't have met with Butler Felidos that day when he came to inspect the company. If he had known that the result would be like this, he would rather lie in bed and pretend to be sick than go to the company. It was all his fault that Butler Ludian pulled him over and introduced him to Felidos.
The manager, in the end, he was eyeing me and had to send me to the army...
But this is no wonder Butler Lutheran. Claude knew in his heart that Butler Lutheran introduced himself to Butler Felidos. On the one hand, it was to show off the extensive friendship between the Normanry family and on the other hand, it was also to allow Claude to get paid.
Under the care of Chief Felidos, it will be easier to do anything in White Deer City in the future. At least with the good connections, Chief Felidos will be able to come forward and say some fair words if there is a problem.
It’s just that Butler Lutheran forgot that General Felidos was a soldier. He understood Butler Lutheran’s intention and wanted to take care of Claude. But his care was to send Claude to serve as a soldier, especially Crood.
Lord also graduated first in the physical education department of junior high school. In the opinion of Chief Felidos, there is no more appropriate way to take care of Claude than sending him to the military...
After thinking about this, Claude was dumbfounded. Madam Maria's kindness was to repay the debt of 500 gold crowns for Claude's younger brother Booker on her own initiative, regardless of whether Claude needed it or not.
The good intention of Chief Lidos was also to send Claude directly to serve as a soldier without asking him for his opinion.
Perhaps in their view, Claude has just reached adulthood at the age of eighteen and is immature. As elders, they made life choices for Claude according to their own wishes, regardless of what Claude thought.
Especially General Manager Felidos. It seemed to be Claude's honor to send Claude to serve as a soldier. He also expected Claude to be grateful, but he didn't know that Claude wanted to show his face to that chrysanthemum-like face at that time.
Smiley Face punched me hard...
It's more of a surprise than a shock... I really want to beat him up and not ask if I am willing to be a soldier... Claude muttered and picked up the conscription order in his hand. Yes, it was written in black and white.
It is clear that it is indeed his name. The only distinctive thing is that there is a blue feather printed on the page. This is the unique symbol of the Blue Feather Legion, the four major field ace legions of the Kingdom.
The so-called four famous field legions of the Kingdom of Overas are basically the legions with the highest casualty rate of officers and soldiers in every war. Behind their outstanding military achievements are countless accumulated bones. Whether they are the enemy or their own soldiers, there are corpses on the battlefield.
Benye finally achieved the reputation of Ace Legion.
The conscription order stated that Claude must report to the military camp in Cafilezte County, Conigada City, and Fukebi Hill before September 1st. Cafilezte County, does the Kingdom have this county?
Claude thought about it for a long time but didn't remember that his grades in geography were pretty good. What was going on?
He stood up and returned to the administrative center. There was a map of the kingdom posted on the wall of the hall. After searching for a long time, Claude discovered that Cafilezte County was one of the three counties ceded by the Nasseri Kingdom more than 20 years ago.
In geography textbooks, they have always been collectively referred to as the three border counties. Because they are not the focus of the exam, the names of these three counties are easily ignored. In addition, because it is the territory ceded by the Kingdom of Nasseri, the Kingdom of Ovilas has been
A military control system was implemented in the three counties to suppress sporadic rebels, so news and news from the three counties rarely appeared in local newspapers.
Isn't that the front line? Claude smiled bitterly, these soldiers are just cannon fodder. Once the war breaks out, there is no need to think about it. The Blue Feather Legion will definitely be the first batch to go to the battlefield. How much does Chief Felidos think highly of himself?
He was directly sent to the front line to serve as a soldier. He also asked himself to perform well, work hard, don't let him down, and bring glory to him as a recommender. I really don't understand where he got such confidence, and he is not a superman.
Invulnerable to bullets, even a small gun can take away one's own life.
If a war breaks out and the kingdom implements a large-scale conscription, then even if Claude enlists in the army, he will join the second-line army formed by the three southwest counties. After a short training camp, they will go to the front line. If the war situation is good, they may still stay in the rear.
, and after the main legions on the front line, which suffered heavy casualties, retreated, they would select additional troops from their second-line legions.
If the war situation is more severe, then these second-line legions may receive orders directly and move to the front line to join the flames of war or stick to a certain line of defense. In any case, Claude will not be the first-line legion like the Blue Feather Legion.
A batch of people set foot on the battlefield. You must know that the first batch of people to go into war are often faced with the most difficult battles. Needless to say, the casualties are obvious to everyone...
After reading the recruitment order again, Claude finally understood why General Felidos wanted to express his gratitude to him. Because the recruitment order clearly stated that Claude was not attending the training camp for new recruits when he went to the Blue Feather Legion.
, but to receive non-commissioned officer training.
This means that Claude will become a noncommissioned officer as soon as he completes the training, rather than an ordinary recruit. Although noncommissioned officers also have to go to the battlefield with the recruits, the enemy's guns will not be deflected because of your status as a noncommissioned officer.
.But for Claude, he has skipped the long recruitment period and directly became a member of the army as a non-commissioned officer.
In peacetime, generally speaking, a recruit has to serve for five years before being promoted to become a non-commissioned officer, and then after three years of inspection, if he performs well, he can be approved to become a warrant officer or second lieutenant. The second lieutenant is the official officer of the kingdom.
Identity, whether he retires due to injury or continues to stay in the army, he has national identity.
No wonder General Felidos said that if Claude performs well, he can become a second lieutenant in only three years. This is before a war breaks out. From this point of view, Claude really owes General Felidos
A big favor. Perhaps it was Claude's first place in physical education when he graduated from junior high school, and Mrs. Maria's regard for him that prompted Manager Felidos to take such care of Claude. From his own
An old acquaintance in the army sold face to Claude and got him a place in the Blue Feather Legion sergeant training.
Claude doesn't know whether he should be sad or happy now, but no matter what, with the conscription order in hand, he can't escape from joining the army. Even if Lady Maria sends a pardon order exempting him from military service, it will be useless. When he is not drafted, pardon
The conscription order can work. As long as you register at the administrative center, you will be exempted from military service in the future. But now the conscription order arrives first and the military department has already registered it. At this time, I don’t know if there is a pardon order. Even if it comes in a few days
It has to be invalidated. In terms of first-come, first-served, even the face of His Majesty King Stirling X cannot be compared with the military department. Otherwise, when the pardon order reaches the military department and the soldiers who have already put on military uniforms are retired, the military department will be in chaos.
Today is already July 30th. Claude calculated and estimated that it would take five to six days to reach Cafilezte County. If he took a carriage all the way, he might arrive one day earlier. If he took the sea from Bailu Town
It would take two days for the ship to arrive at Nielu Port first, and then another three days from Nielu Port to Cafilezte County. It would be better to just hire a carriage to go there. Anyway, I wouldn't be short of money...
In other words, Claude only has more than twenty days left at home. He has to leave on August 24th at the latest. Of course, it would be good to arrive two days earlier so that he can get familiar with the unfamiliar environment.
Secondly, you will have enough time to avoid delaying the check-in time due to any unexpected circumstances on the road. You must know that military law is ruthless. Even if you have sufficient reasons to prove that you are late because of yourself, the penalty for delay will still fall on you.
On you. Claude doesn't want to be tied to the law enforcement platform and whipped on the first day of reporting.
Perhaps, it’s time to settle some things and become a soldier. Even if you become a non-commissioned officer, your life or death will be uncertain on the battlefield. No one can guarantee whether you will be among the people standing after a big battle. So, while you’re at it,
Before leaving, deal with the affairs at home as you want, and never let the peaceful lives of your mother, sister, and brother be affected.
It's just that Claude was disappointed. His eldest brother, Albert, disappeared and was not in White Deer Town. It was said that he left White Deer Town on the day his father jumped from the building, saying that he was going to the county town of Barromise to find a job. But he didn't
People have seen him in the county town of Barromise, but no one has heard anything about him.
Claude had to hide this news from his mother, otherwise she would not know how to worry about Albert when she got the news. No matter how selfish and unfilial Albert was, in his mother's eyes, he
He is still his eldest son, a relative of flesh and blood...
Every day after junior high school, Claude would pick up his sister Angelina back to the forest farm, and then take her to the open space in his family's forest to learn how to use a matchlock gun. After he joined the army, the only person in the family who could help him was his mother.
My younger sister Anna. Although she is a girl and a little timid, she has a fairly tough character, and she is already fifteen years old and can become the main supporter of the family. Especially after learning magic from Claude, her intelligence and ability to draw inferences from one example to another
Claude was greatly surprised by her abilities, and her life in the forest farm also made her cheerful and brave.
His younger brother, Little Booker, is still young, only eight years old, and is at the age of a naughty child. However, the great changes in the family and the suicide of his father have made him a lot more sensible. Especially during the time he lived in the log cabin on the forest farm, he and
Claude slept in the same room, and under Claude's supervision, he also corrected many problems. He was naughty, but he also knew how to help his mother with some housework within his ability, which made Claude very happy.
At least it looks like Booker won't become a spendthrift in the future.
Butler Lutheran expressed great dissatisfaction with General Felidos for issuing a conscription order to Claude on his own initiative, and wanted to discuss it with General Felidos. He firmly believed that the construction project of the Norman Real Estate Company was
At the busiest time, Claude couldn't leave to serve as a soldier. He even designed several ways for Claude to avoid military service, such as asking someone to break one of Claude's legs, or having Claude reluctantly cut off a few of his legs.
A finger and so on...
However, Claude refused these requests because he would not make himself semi-disabled in order to evade military service. In order for the Normandy Real Estate Company to continue to operate smoothly after he left, he had to spend a lot of time on the company's management.
Adjust and improve the business policies and management regulations, striving to ensure that the company can still develop and operate without him. Therefore, Claude often works overtime in the company, and sometimes you can still see the candlelight in his office very late.
