It seems that you are doing well and your muscles are strong, instead of the way the fat was trembling when I first saw you. Claude reached out his hand to poke Bockar's big belly with satisfaction. He has lost about eighty pounds.
It has indeed changed a lot for Bockaar. At least the military uniform does not feel like it is tight and pinched into the flesh. Although he still looks fat, at least he does not look like his body fat is trembling around when he moves.
Bockar ignored Claude's teasing. He looked up at the ceiling, as if there was something worthy of his study. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with Claude forcing him to lose weight, thinking that he was eating in the Thunder Division.
Enough suffering. So he was a little arrogant at the moment. He probably got the news from Muriel that Claude was going to ask him to do something important, and decided to adopt a non-cooperative attitude to express his protest against Claude.
.
Claude has never doubted the personal ability of his teenage playmate. This fat man has a natural affinity. As long as he gets to know him well, he can easily win the favor of others and unconsciously provide him with the help he can.
This is the reason why Bock Aar is so good at doing business. He knows how to share benefits, and he has a harmless, honest face that makes people feel friendly and unwary. Coupled with his shrewd business vision, if this guy
If you can’t make money, who can make money?
So when Claude heard Murield complain that his young companion in the Thunder Division could eat three or four people's meals alone, he knew that his attempt to help Bock Al lose weight was completely shattered.
.No matter how harshly you treat Bok'ar, it will be of no use. This guy has already turned the Thunder Division's cafeteria into his own territory.
For a very simple reason, even though Bokhar can enjoy the treatment of a school-level officer in the Thunder Division by virtue of his rank of major, the general situation is that he can only add one more person at most. But Murield complained that Bokhar alone can
When he eats enough food for three or four people, it means that he has received extra help and trust from the canteen, and he can eat freely in the canteen...
Claude was not angry when he saw that Bockard ignored him. He turned around and sat down behind the desk without making a sound, just looking at Bockard. The office fell into silence for a while, and the time passed by.
In the past, no one spoke.
Bock'ar finally lost his composure. He began to peek at Claude, only to see Claude lazily leaning on the table and staring at him with interest. Then Bock'ar began to feel that something was wrong all over his body.
After all, he was standing, but Claude was sitting and looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze. He felt that no matter what position he was in, he was very uncomfortable...
You, you asked me to come, what's the matter? Bockaar spoke first, losing most of his momentum. He was under the eaves and had to butt his head, so he decided to go through this hurdle first.
Major, you have to report to me first. Claude put his hands behind his head calmly.
Bockar was half-dead with anger, but he had no choice. Claude was his superior now, and he was right. Although it was Claude who summoned him, he was only a major, and he had to salute and say hello to Claude first.
Reporting to the general, the commander of the local security battalion in Bangilia City, Simirok County, Major Boker Bodman reports to you and follows your instructions. Boker had no choice but to stand at attention, salute Claude, and shout loudly.
own position and military rank.
After a while, Claude responded casually and informed in a businesslike tone: Major Bockal, I regret to tell you that there is no longer a local security camp in Bongilia City, Similok County. Because they
You have been reorganized into the Thunder Division and several Panshi Divisions, so your original position has been revoked. You are now just a major waiting for appointment and assignment in our overseas direct-administered territorial theater...
In addition, there is a lot of controversy in the theater headquarters about your appointment. Many people think that you are not a qualified officer. Just based on your body shape, it can be concluded that you are not suitable to be a soldier. Therefore, some people have proposed that you be
What do you think of you disarming and returning home with the rank of captain? Major Bokhar?
Not so good! Boquear glared at Claude, with veins popping out on his forehead. If he retired with the rank of captain and went home, it would be a shame to their family. Everyone knows that he was originally a major, but ended up going to Nubi
The West Asian Continent was demoted one level, and he was forced to retire and go home, which meant that their family's business would no longer be able to benefit from him, and his military rank would become a joke to others, and he would never be able to hold his head high for the rest of his life.
Claude, do you treat your teenage friend like this? Boker's face turned red: Don't be vain, I know you have something important for me to do, so you used such words to coerce me into doing it willingly.
To work for you. Just tell me, what do you want me to do for you?
But Bockar didn't expect Claude's reaction to be more intense than his. With a loud bang, Claude slammed the table and stood up angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that you are my teenage friend!"
I asked you to lose weight, but you are so happy eating and drinking in the Thunder Division! One person eats the portion of three or four people at each meal. Are you a pig? You just know how to eat and keep gaining weight. Look
Looking at your figure, do you look a bit like a soldier?
At 1.76 meters tall, I have lost about 80 pounds and 194 pounds, and my whole body is full of fat. Do you think I am humiliating you by asking someone to force you to retire and go home?
Save your little life! Idiot! This is a war zone, not your peaceful broken city where you can just eat and drink every day. Every soldier here is always ready to go to the battlefield to fight for his life! You have so much fat on your body.
After entering the battlefield, do you think you will have any good results?
Do you think I'm humiliating you by letting you retire with the rank of captain? Idiot, don't forget that this is a war zone. You can only retire from the war zone by downgrading. You are not a soldier. You can go home if you fail one test.
You are a major, the commander of a local security battalion. From the moment you received the order to our war zone, your fate was tied to our war zone. We will not be able to pass the approval of the Kingdom's Army Department without lowering the rank. Understand
?
Bockaal scratched his neck: I don’t want to retire...
Don’t want to retire? Claude laughed angrily: Then what can you do? With your body, or because you can eat? Or wait until you are captured by the enemy and use your huge appetite to eat up the enemy’s logistics? I am here for
Hello, Fatty, I want to save your little life. Don’t forget that your parents only have a son. By the way, I heard that you already have three sons. If you don’t want your children to lose their father since they were young, you’d better
It's better to be obedient and retire and go home. Although you have been demoted one rank, you can stay at home safely after all. The reunion of the whole family means happiness...
It's not like I haven't experienced combat, Claude, don't say anything about taking care of me for my own good. You know clearly that if I were to be demoted and retired and go home, I would never be able to raise my head in front of my children in my life.
I can't even go to a joint gathering of veterans. They will regard me as a disgrace to the military...
Boker looked into Claude's eyes: I know you have other plans, just tell me what you want me to do...
Claude spread his hands to express his helplessness: Very good, your brain is still very sharp, and you know that I will not force you to retire. To be honest, Boa, you should also understand your own physical fitness, as fat as you
You won't be able to go to the battlefield if you're not in good shape, because the enemy will treat you as a senior frontline commander and eliminate you as soon as possible.
As for you can't find a good position in the theater headquarters, the skill you master is business, and you are an expert in how to do business. As for military skills, you yourself understand that you are not as good as a recruit who has been in the army for half a year. I originally wanted you to
You are assigned to the logistics department, but Major General Skerry, who is in charge of theater logistics, is a stern person. When he sees your figure, he will immediately suspect that you are embezzling and lining your own pockets. Otherwise, how could you be so fat?
What I want is for you to take off your military uniform. Of course, I don’t want you to retire, but I want you to join the secret intelligence front. Because with your figure, no enemy will suspect that you are a spy. Here is a document, you can read it
, after reading the document, you have only two choices, either to act according to the plan of the document, or to downgrade, retire and go home. You can make your choice.
Bokoal glanced at Claude with hatred. This bastard was setting a trap for him again. He knew Claude's temper after having known each other for many years. But Bokoaar was also helpless. Who would have thought that two teenage friends would be together after so many years of separation?
The gap will be so big when they meet again. Claude has become the kingdom's major general, the supreme commander of the theater, and the division commander of the Thunder Division. But he is still just the major battalion commander of a local security battalion, and he falls into Claude's position.
In his hands, he allowed him to round and flatten it, and he couldn't help it. This feeling made Bockar very uncomfortable.
Opening the folder and scanning it briefly, Bock'al's eyes lit up. The document stated simply that Bock'al became a smuggler in the name of a shareholder of the Bison Trading Company and went to the Port of Vibato to look for business opportunities, inquire about and collect information about the enemy.
intelligence.
The Bison Trading Company was originally a well-known company specializing in the production and sale of bison products in the Beringana Territory. However, after the outbreak of the colonial war, Marshal Michelci ordered the walls to be cleared, and the Bison Trading Company was forced to relocate to the Amphiston Territory.
.Because there was no opportunity to hunt bison, the business suddenly collapsed and it was unable to make ends meet. Claude instructed McJack to acquire the ownership of the Buffalo Trading Company at a very low price and become a front store that cooperated with the war zone intelligence department.
The plan in the document is to have Bockar, in the name of a shareholder of the Buffalo Trading Company, carry four shallow-sea flat-bottomed transport ships loaded with grain and grass to the port of Vibato in the Kingdom of Hicks to find a chance for the Buffalo Trading Company, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Claude is very generous.
, giving Bock Aar 20% of the shares, which means that every time a business is done, Bock Aar can put 20% of the profit into his own pocket.
Are you using grain and grass to do the enemy's business? Aren't you afraid that some people will say that you are subsidizing the enemy? Boker asked Claude with a sneer, because according to the analysis of the documents, the colonial food problem of the Kingdom of Hicks has not been alleviated, mainly relying on
Local transportation costs and losses are very high. Taking grain and grass to Vibato Port should be very profitable.
Claude laughed loudly: Don't worry, no matter how much food and grass you sell, I can get double the amount from the enemy on the battlefield!
Bok'ar could only curse him as a bastard in his heart. After half a year in the Thunder Division, he had heard countless legends about Claude. In the eyes of the division's officers and soldiers, Claude was indeed invincible.
The heroic figures, especially his younger brothers, praised Claude as if he were the God of War descending to earth, which made Bockar feel unbelievable.
Am I responsible for all transactions? Boker asked.
Yes, as a shareholder of the Buffalo Trading Company that is on the verge of bankruptcy, you can make the final decision on whether to buy or sell. Claude nodded: But I suggest you vigorously purchase packhorses, because in war zones, due to the immigration of 100,000 households, packhorses
There is a very tight shortage now, and the prices on the market have more than tripled. I believe that if there were spies in the Hicks Kingdom lurking in the war zone, they would have reported this information to them a long time ago. So you can sell grain and grass from Vibato Port to buy pack horses.
Normal business behavior, otherwise leaving the lucrative packhorse business to purchase other supplies will arouse the enemy's suspicion and attention...
I heard this mentioned by the supervisor of the canteen of the Thunder Division. They said that when they go out to buy vegetables, they often encounter people stopping their carriages and asking them if the packhorses pulling the carriages are willing to sell them at a high price. This makes them have to pay a high price every time they go out.
The soldiers with the guard squad watched the carriages to prevent the pack horses from being stolen... Bockar said.
Claude could only smile helplessly: There is currently no way to solve this problem. There have been many disputes about pack horses among the people some time ago. That’s why I hope you can buy more pack horses from Vibato Port.
Alleviating the problem of lack of packhorse transportation capacity in the war zone. However, doing business is not your main task. The most important thing is to find out what happened to the spies we deployed in Vibato Port before, so that we can’t do anything for three months.
Know the information about Vibato Port...
I also need the account books of the Bison Trading Company for the past year, as well as the old trading company personnel. As a shareholder of the Bison Trading Company, I must understand all the business dealings and transaction channels of the Bison Trading Company, as well as its personal relationships in various places. Bockar said
.
This is what it should be. I have prepared everything for you. Claude pulled the bell rope behind him, and the adjutant Major Anders opened the door and came in: General, please give instructions.
Claude pointed at Bockaar: You take Major Bockaar to see Colonel Coffist of the Intelligence Department and tell him that the plan code-named Buffalo can be implemented.
Yes, General. Although he didn't know what the plan of Codename Buffalo was, Major Anders still politely asked Bock Al to follow him.
Bockaar glanced at Claude, stood at attention, saluted, and then retreated with Major Anders.
Claude, who went home for lunch at noon, finally got good news from his sister. The actual hot air balloon machine had come out. But his sister disliked it. This thing was big, thick and heavy, and it was not as good as what Claude had used before.
The items she wanted to make were exquisite and powerful. Her younger sister Anna thought it was an insult to her to use an alchemical magic talisman to make such a clumsy thing, and she would never make such a thing again.
Claude laughed heartily and told his sister Anna that this thing was worth as much as an alchemical magic talisman. After eating, he impatiently ran to his sister's laboratory and saw and touched it with his own eyes.
, confirmed that this thing was similar to the one he had seen when he was a child, and ordered the accompanying big man Gemie to lead a few people to load the thing into a carriage and send it to the iron ore mine. He also sent someone to notify Mr. Veblen and go to the iron ore mine.
A trip to the workshop.
There are many shortcomings of the hot air balloon machine. For example, the first start is very slow. After burning a lot of firewood, it took about ten minutes for the piston connecting rod on the circular cylinder to finally push up, and then the iron pipe chimney next to it was discharged.
Black hot air, piston connecting rod fell, then pushed up, then fell again, the sound of "dangdangdangdang" was very harsh...
Claude looked at the stunned Mr. Veblen and laughed: My friend, what do you think of this thing as more powerful than water?
It’s incredible! Mr. Veblen exclaimed: General, how did you design such a machine that uses the heat of fire as power?
It's actually very simple, my friend, if you notice that when boiling water, the water vapor can lift the heavy lid open, then you can think that the hot air also has the same expansion effect...
