Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 294 Countermeasures

“How did you get a shortcut here?” When Diavid called several soldiers to take Lieutenant Giprick down and dragged the unfortunate body of Lieutenant Becky Milo away with a blanket, Claude questioned Captain Duriolo.

“Oh, this short...” Captain Duriolo found himself still holding the short that had already been fired, hurriedly releasing his hand and putting it back in the drawer: “This was a gift from my father before I left. Although I came to the front line as the commander of a local security battalion, I was responsible only for local policing and policing, as I am now stationed in Squirrel Village. I don't need to be on the front line, but my father gave me this shortcut to protect me. Usually I keep it in the drawer. When Ensign Becky Milo pointed his short at you, I lit the fire rope...”

Captain Duriolo's eyes were still a little confused and bewildered: “I swear I only aimed at his hand and tried to smash the short one he had... but I didn't expect to shoot him in the face...”

Claude can only glorify himself that Captain Duriolo did not stand opposite him when he opened fire. Less than five meters apart. You aim at your hand, but you hit your face. This shot is really touching. Luckily, you and Muriel were standing opposite Ensign Becky Milo at the time. If you were standing next to him, who might be the bad luck...

“Well, let's drop this question about your shooting accuracy. Anyway, people have been killed, and what we need to think about now is how to end this. Are you sure you can fool around with what you just said?” Claude asks, then tells Muriel to go pour Captain Duriolo a glass of wine.

“What did I just say?” Captain Duriolo asked.

Claude understood that Captain Duriolo was still in a mental trance after a single shot was fired. He had almost forgotten what he had just said. He had to remind him by himself: “You said to send a message to the Army Department from Hawk, saying that Lieutenant Giprick and Lieutenant Becky Milo had come to us under the guise of a military discipline patrol to extract the four criminals impersonating official officers of the Kingdom, who were rejected by us and then tried to hold us hostage, forcing us to release the prisoners...”

Muriel put a large glass of fruit wine on the table, Captain Duriolo picked up a glass of "grunt” and got bored. After drinking, he put the glass on the table and said to Muriel, "Thanks, pour me another glass, please. ”

This big glass of wine poured down, and Captain Duriolo finally revealed it in his eyes. He thought about it and said to Claude, "We need to sort this thing out from beginning to end, so no one can find a loophole. Primarily emphasizing that the four persons impersonating the Kingdom's official officers were originally on duty at the Front Line Command, Lieutenant Giprek and Lieutenant Becky Milo were denied access to us because we suspected that they had links to those four persons without any orders or formal formalities.

Here we need to note that we ask them to provide the authorization documents of the Royal Army Ministry and the order to hand over the prisoners, who we hand over to them as soon as the formalities are in place. Instead of producing any procedural documents, they argued that they were staff officers and enforcement officers of the Military Justice Division of the Front Line Command and did not need such documents and orders. We, on the other hand, believe that the Armistice Peace Agreement has been signed, that the war is over, that the Front Line Command now does not have all the powers in time of war and should obey the orders of the Royal Army Ministry, so we rejected their request… "

Claude slapped his thigh, understood, Captain Duriolo, and this is a disaster, shifting the spear of what happened today from the horrendous news of the killing of a law enforcement officer to the power of the Front Line Command and the Royal Army Department, making the top of the Army Department feel that they are doing the right thing, that the war is over, and that your Front Line Command still has jurisdiction over nearly a million armies. Do you want to start another war? Not sure if it's on the outside or inside? This will provoke the sensitive nerves of the kingdom's upper echelons, especially when the Grand Prince has a lethal seizure and cannot leave the front-line command dragon without a head...

Sometimes Claude had to admire the machinations of these aristocrats, old nobles and commercial nobles, who, by chance, had become instincts in their lives. To be honest, Claude was also drumming after Captain Duriolo shot Lieutenant Becky Milo. After all, this is the executive officer of the Front Line Military Justice Department. He was just shot to death. How big a storm could it be?

As a result, he drank a glass of wine, and Captain Duriolo began to find a way to clean up the end of the incident, saying that he was not only ungrateful, but also grateful. Because, despite his personal safety, he prevented the Front Line Command from conspiring to rob the four perpetrators and defended the supreme authority and prestige of the Royal Army Department over all Army forces in the Kingdom…

“Yes," Captain Duriolo lifted up the second glass of wine Muried had poured for him: "It was because we refused their request that they became angry and drew guns with the intention of holding us hostage and forcing us to release those four prisoners. We did not want to be coerced by them, to rise up against them, and in the fight Lieutenant Becky Milo shot and fired, because we were wrestling each other, grabbing him and lifting him up with a short hand, and then he shot himself in the face and died on the ground..."

Well, even his own responsibility for shooting Lieutenant Becky Milo was absolved this time, and the poor Lieutenant Becky Milo was just killed himself. It is not uncommon for a short fire to occur in a struggle, but who told him to threaten others with a short fire? So his death should be self-inflicted and no one else should be blamed.

Captain Duriolo's deputy, Sergeant Zigfi, brought in a bucket of water and a mop to wipe the blood from the death of Ensign Becky Milo on the floor.

Claude watched as the blood on the floor was erased, and he reached out and picked up the bottle of wine that was left half a bottle, and poured it all into his mouth, and put it down. Claude gasped and said, “That's a good, very good statement, but don't forget Lieutenant Geprick, he's got a hand, too. What are we going to do with him? ”

Muriel said to himself alongside him: “Sir, it's all right. I'll take care of this with Dietrichson. He'll leave us a proper statement...”

Claude was a little hesitant, but Captain Duriolo nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll leave this to you. You're a client too, and you can't get away with it with me and Brother Claude. Besides, you've punched that Lieutenant Gyprek, and if he's free, you'll be retaliated against, and I believe that. Sergeant Siegfried, please notify the comms. I need to upload a secret letter to the Army Department immediately. ”

Muried and Diaved have always been interested in cleaning up noble officers like Lieutenant Geprick, thanks to their experience when all four of them were mixed up as kings before joining the army. Although they are all of noble descent, they are basically mixed with civilians who are not valued by their families. Sometimes they inevitably get rubbed by noble noble descendants on the ground. At that time, they can only endure bullying and even dare not tell their families...

Claude could only recruit them together privately, temporarily teaching them some wet wipes to cover their faces, hammering them across the book, and honeying the soles of their feet to make the goats lick such forced confessions, which he feared would be questioned by the apparent trauma they had left on that Lieutenant Geprick. Muriel and Diavid were amazed at Claude for a while, and went to Lt. Jeeprek to experiment with what Claude had taught them.

Captain Duriolo's hawk to the Wangdu Army Department was not sent by the Army Department, but was raised by his family as a private hawk. Even his communautaire followed him from the family to serve him with two messengers, also in order to strengthen the ties and communication between their commercial nobles. Otherwise, the hawks obtained by the first Battalion of Rangers would be flown to the Front Line Command.

From Squirrel Village to Wangdu, Captain Duriolo said it would take about a day and a night. If it's a messenger hawk from above, it'll only take three hours to get to Front Line Command. So Captain Duriolo decided to inform Front Line Command of the incident after a day, preferably after he had obtained a confession from Lieutenant Giprek. This makes it seem selfless and buys time to get a formal response from the Royal Army Ministry.

Claude calculates that according to the normal journey, it will take two or three days for Maggie and Big Gemmy to arrive in the capital and hand over the letter they wrote to Lady Maria before she hands it over to the Grand Prince. It is unclear whether there will be any unexpected circumstances, delays in the journey or something. So Captain Duriolo and Claude didn't put their hopes on the big prince who came back out of the mountain. Even they didn't know if Claude's letter would make the big prince realize the reality and come out and clean up the mess on the front...

Muriel and Diaveed took only one night to get that Lieutenant Geprick to confess and write a satisfactory confession. As much as Claude had expected, he and Ensign Becky Milo had brought in a small unit of gendarmerie, all they wanted to do was take the four captured bastards and secretly release them, so that the matter would no longer be the business of the noble officers. It was just unexpected that the small things they thought could be accomplished were so simple that Ensign Becky Milo was shot dead and he became a prisoner.

After reading the confession, however, Captain Duriolo asked Muried and Diavid to go again and rewrite a copy for Lieutenant Giprick to sign for the painting. He needs to confess, on this confession, that he and Ensign Becky Milo are part of a group of four men posing as official officers of the kingdom, this time to save four people. Instead of admitting the names of the noble officers who conspired in the front command...

Soon, the new confession was completed, and Lieutenant Geprick confessed to the fact that he and Lieutenant Becky Milo had come to rescue those four wretched spirits. It is unfortunate that Lieutenant Geprick was suddenly bitten to death when he was forced to ask if they had another accomplice in Front Command, so that no one could know if they had another accomplice in Front Command...

Captain Duriolo said he would pass the confession to Wangdu Army Department in the same manner as the Eagle, hoping to get a secret letter order from the Army Department as soon as possible so that they could refuse to obey the unreasonable orders of the Front Line Command...

By that time, one day and one night had passed since Lieutenant Becky Milo's death, and Lieutenant Geprick, who had been bitten to death, had just broken his last breath. Sergeant Siegfried washed himself with clean water and the poor two barefoot girls laughed one night, put his socks back on, put on his military boots, and then took that goat who licked the honey one night and left this basement where the body was placed.

Captain Duriolo, in his name and that of Claude, communicated the deaths of Lieutenant Giprek and Lieutenant Becky Milo to Front Line Command by hawk, while at the same time allowing the correspondents to copy several announcements by pigeon communication to several nearby stationed regiments and forces, telling his fellow commercial noblemen that the more they knew about the matter among civilian officers, the better...

If not, the deaths of Lieutenant Geprick and Lieutenant Becky Milo sparked a wave of renderings in the Front Line Command and local garrisons. The noble officers of the Front Line Command were furious when they first learned who they thought was drunk and joked when they determined that the incident was true. After chaotic discussions, it was announced that the local guard battalion of Captain Duriolo stationed in Squirrel Village and the first battalion of Claude's guerrilla soldiers were rebels, to be sent to fight.

It was only then that the noble officers of the Front Line Command discovered that they had no authority to redeploy troops. Neither the stationed corps, nor the local guard battalion nor the guard force can move within their means, unless there is a personal warrant from the Supreme Commander or an authorization document from the Royal Army to instruct a combat unit to carry out its tasks. Neither of them dared to order a subordinate unit to attack Squirrel Village, even at the top of those regiments that belonged to the power of their noble officers.

It is not a matter of the aristocratic officers of the front-line command saying the math, but it is a matter of who is involved in the rebellion that has to do with the life of his family. It is easy to think of it as an act of treason by using swordmen to attack the troops of his colleagues. Moreover, in the absence of the Grand Prince's warrant and the authorization documents of the Ministry of the Army, the civilian officers in the army can refuse to carry out orders issued by the senior ranks of the regiment to attack Squirrel Village, and can even strike back and accuse the senior ranks of the regiment of malicious intent…
