Chapter 214 The Security Squadron Worth Two Bottles Of Wine
Chapter 214: A Guard Squadron Worth Two Bottles of Fine Wine
The beginning of the matter was like this. Second Lieutenant Most, who was responsible for temporarily taking over the mountain pass defense task in the Odin Mountains, received a notice from the battalion headquarters, asking him to take the squadron of the Chania Lal Corps and nearly a hundred captured deserters.
Report from the legion camp in Gonigada, Cafilezte County. Strangely, the notice did not mention the security squadron led by Claude that was performing guard duties at the entrance of the mountain pass. In desperation, Claude had no choice but to do it himself
Go to Amys City and prepare to find the headquarters of the 11th Field Battalion to find out what happened.
As a result, the reply Claude got at the battalion headquarters was that everything was business as usual. What this meant was that although the 11th Field Battalion was about to pack up and evacuate the city of Ames, it would return to the legion camp in Cafilezte County to start reorganization.
, but the treatment center and the medical team will continue to stay in Ames City for a while. This is because there were too many wounded soldiers who broke through the siege and came back some time ago, and they will continue to receive treatment in Ames City. As for the treatment center security squadron,
There is nothing wrong with Amis City, so we should continue to be responsible for guarding the entrance to the mountain road...
So Claude returned to the entrance of the mountain pass and continued to watch the stars at night and take naps during the day. However, his life was not boring in the next two months, because the Kingdom of Ovelas continued to move toward
Amys City mobilizes troops and transports military supplies, and there is a constant flow of people and vehicles day and night. As a garrison squadron at the entrance to the mountain road, it has also obtained some additional benefits from these transportation troops.
For example, some transportation teams carried some excess supplies such as alcohol and the like, intending to send them to the front line to sell them at a high price. When they encountered inspections by the security team at the entrance of the mountain pass, they would always offer some benefits to pass the inspection. As a result, Claude discovered that he
The entrance to the mountain road guarded by this security squadron has turned into a rich gateway. It is roughly estimated that I can earn one gold crown a month. This is after excluding the income of other members of the entire security squadron.
However, two months later, Claude found Dr. Perrent at the entrance of the mountain pass, leading his team of medical soldiers and a large number of wounded people, preparing to return to Cafilezte County. He asked himself if he wanted to go back with them? Perente
The doctor looked a little embarrassed and replied: "You are not in the order, and I am only asked to take the medical team and wounded soldiers back... But there is a notice asking you to report to the newly formed security battalion in Amys City, and to collect supplies in the future.
Get it there..."
Claude didn't know that he had been abandoned by the Blue Feather Legion, and there was nothing he could do about it. The Blue Feather Legion was ordered to undergo reorganization and training, and his treatment center security squadron was not a unit in the official establishment, or it could be said that it was
A temporary combat organization. Now that the 11th Field Battalion is about to be reorganized, there is no need for this temporary combat organization to exist anymore. It must either be converted into a formal organization or disbanded and rearranged.
At that time, when the Blue Feather Army was recruiting and expanding their troops, they gave all the thorny and unqualified soldiers to Claude and asked him to form a guard team and a stretcher team for such a treatment center. As a result, the 11th Field Battalion where they were located
He went to protect the safety of Prince Wedelek, did not go to the front line, and stayed comfortably in Ames City until the end of the battle. No officer who knew the details of this security squadron was willing to take over this security squadron, and Claude had too many backers behind him.
No one could afford to offend him, so after discussion, he simply transferred this hot problem to the newly formed Amis City Security Battalion.
Claude was in a daze. What happened? My friend transferred from the Field Ace Legion to the local army? It doesn’t make sense. I only heard that people transferred from the local army to the Blue Feather Legion. When did they actually transfer from the Blue Feather Legion?
An example of transferring to local troops?
Dr. Perente, who told Claude this notice, was also embarrassed. He had quite a guess as to what was going on above him. However, he knew it well and could not explain it too clearly, so he could only persuade Claude from another angle.
: "Actually, this is not a bad thing. The Blue Feather Army will go back to reorganize this time. After the reconstruction is completed, they will still go to the battlefield. And when you transfer to the Amis City Security Camp, you only need to stay behind and guard the entrance to the mountain road. You don't need to consider the battlefield ahead.
problem, your own safety is quite guaranteed..."
Claude then thought about it and thought that it was true. He nodded to say goodbye to Dr. Perente, and then took Belklin and Muriel with him on a transport carriage to the city of Amys.
The headquarters of the Amis City Guard Battalion is in a small double-story building next to the former city lord's mansion. Claude went over and asked, only to find out that the current Guard Battalion only had one brigade because it had just been established, and four squadrons were assigned to it.
To guard the four city gates, and the other is his security squadron guarding the entrance to the mountain road.
The person in charge of the security team was a captain named Wardlov. He was not polite when he saw Claude and asked him to report the personnel list of the security squadron. At the same time, he was going to send someone to take over the security squadron. After all, Claude was
It is a bit low-level to serve as a squadron leader for a sergeant chief, and the number of people in this security squadron exceeds the normal establishment, so a squad needs to be mobilized.
It doesn't matter if Claude is not the acting squadron leader of this security squadron. The only thing he has to worry about is that this team that masters precise shooting will be scattered and wasted. During this time, he has heard many examples of the Blue Feather Legion's breakout battles.
Rows of soldiers walked neatly towards the enemy's position, braved artillery fire and flying bullets, walked to a distance of 100 meters and opened fire, and then charged directly to launch hand-to-hand combat to capture the enemy's defensive position. In this process, less than 100,000 soldiers survived.
One third...
But this is the most common scene in wars in this era of the world. Whether it is defense or offense, marching in line and firing, charging with bayonets to decide the outcome in hand-to-hand combat, is the main factor causing heavy casualties on both sides of the war. After a war is over
The soldiers would not boast about their bravery, but would only thank the gods for their protection because they were lucky enough to survive the battle.
Claude asked Belklin to take out the list of members of the guard force and personal files from the bag he was carrying. These were brought to him by Dr. Perente. After taking these, Claude understood that the Blue Feather Army had indeed given up.
This security squadron is led by myself.
Handing these to Captain Wardloff, the loud-voiced captain looked through his personal file, and his face grew darker as he looked at it. Finally, he threw the file down and asked Claude: "What on earth is going on with this security squadron of yours?"
Are these files genuine?"
The personal files contain comments from instructors during recruit training. Almost every personal comment in the files of these soldiers in the garrison squadron is stamped with the seal that they are not suitable for serving as soldiers. Only Claude, four noble children, and Most
The personal files of the three corporals and one sergeant who were later transferred to the security squadron by the second lieutenant were relatively normal.
Claude smiled bitterly. How could he have accepted such an unreliable training mission in the first place, and ended up going to the Principality of Sidings for such a long time? He, a security squadron composed of unqualified soldiers, had been staying in Amys City without a single scratch.
There were no injuries, but other normal combat troops suffered four-fifths casualties. It’s really ironic when I think about it...
"You have also seen that my squadron is composed of these unqualified soldiers. They only master the skills of loading ammunition, shooting, and standing guard and patrolling. They don't know anything else. They can't even march in a queue.
We couldn’t learn, let alone fire in unison. So the 11th Field Battalion of the Blue Feather Army asked us to defend the entrance to the mountain pass. But they were pretty good, and they also had a stretcher team, which was made up of idiots and psychopaths..."
"I know the stretcher team you're talking about." Captain Wardloff interrupted Claude: "Now they are working as coolies in the warehouse, and they made a big fuss yesterday. They robbed the food and piled it up.
The military supplies were destroyed and two of them were crushed to death."
"Uh..." Claude was speechless. No wonder there was no trace of the stretcher team when the medical team led by Dr. Perrent and a large number of wounded people returned to Cafilezte County. It turned out that the Blue Feather Army not only gave up
My own security team and even the stretcher team were left in Ames City.
Think about it, these idiots and mentally ill people are a burden to them, and they just took advantage of this opportunity to reorganize and rebuild. When the military recruitment was expanded, these idiots and mentally ill people were sent over by the recruiting places to collect quotas, because of their reputation.
We can't ignore relationships and favors. Now that the Blue Feather Legion has experienced such a big battle and suffered such heavy losses, just by swiping on the list, these people can be regarded as losses on the battlefield. Of course, we must seize this opportunity.
Anyway, they are all idiots and mentally ill, and will not complain to the superiors.
Claude doesn't have the kindness to care about those idiots and mentally ill people. He is not a stone-hearted person, nor is he a holy mother. Since Captain Wardloff said they were working as coolies in the warehouse, he shouldn't care about their life or death. Anyway, he is thinking now.
, if Captain Wardlov sends someone to take over the security squadron, can he return to the Blue Feather Army...
Captain Wardloff now yelled at the commander of the 11th Field Battalion, Major Gibson, in front of Claude and the other three, scolding him for taking two bottles of his own good wine, saying that he was sending a squadron with strong combat effectiveness to him.
He came to be the backbone of the security battalion, but he ended up with such a broken squadron. What the hell...
The more Claude, Belklin and Muriel heard this, the more their expressions became uglier. They dared to believe that their security squadron was only worth two bottles of good wine...
Captain Wardloff was tired of scolding for a long time. He looked at the embarrassed Claude and the three people in front of him and said bluntly: "Your name is Claude? Well, you are still acting as the captain of this security squadron."
, continue to lead this security squadron to guard the entrance to the mountain pass in the Odin Mountains. If there are other tasks or personnel changes in the future, I will send another person to inform you."
Claude stood at attention and said: "Sir, I still want you to send someone to take over the position of squadron leader. I want to return to the Blue Feather Corps..."
"No way." Captain Wardloff said decisively: "I bought you with two bottles of good wine. Don't just leave and leave that mess to me. Since the file says that you trained these unqualified recruits
If you have the skills, then you can take charge of this security squadron for me and don’t cause any trouble for me!"
"Sir, I protest what you said!" Claude was very annoyed. You paid for the devil with two bottles of wine. My brother checked at the entrance of the mountain road and got more than two bottles of good wine every day.
"The protest is invalid!" Captain Wardloff stared at Claude with a serious face: "Claude, tell me, what is the bounden duty of a soldier? Louder!"
"Reporting to the commander means obedience! Obey! Obey!"
"Very good, since you still know how to obey, then you have to obey my order and act as the squadron leader. You must know that your file is already with me and you are my subordinate. You want to return to Lanzhou without my consent.
Feather Corps, that's impossible." Captain Wardlov triumphantly hammered the pile of personal files on the table with his fist.
"Also, take off the blue feathers on your hats and the two blue ribbons on your body. You are not soldiers of the Blue Feather Legion now, but members of the Amis City Guard Battalion. We guard
The soldiers of the battalion don’t need these fancy costumes, and they are not women. Why are they dressed like a blue-tailed bird in heat..."
Claude and the other three were finally kicked out of Captain Wardlov's office in a daze. The blue feathers and blue ribbons on the three of them were gone, and their uniforms looked exactly like those of the soldiers of the second-line army.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Belklin and Muriel looked at Claude with bewildered expressions.
"What should I do? Cold salad!" Claude woke up a little. After thinking about it, he decided not to get into trouble with Captain Wardlov anymore. This captain is simply a hot-tempered man. I really don't understand how he became such a lover.
The person in charge of the Miss City Security Battalion.
"First go to the Logistics Department to collect this month's supplies and soldiers' allowances for our security squadron, and then let's go back to the entrance of the mountain road to continue our guard mission." Claude thought for a while and said.
"Okay, boss, can we go back later? Merde and I want to go to the tavern." Belklin pleaded.
"You go ahead." Claude shook his head: "Just go back before night. Don't spend the night in the pub, and don't cause trouble. Do you understand?"
"Understood, boss, we promise to go back on time."
