Chapter 146： The Battle of Appalus (3)

(9 of 3)

"He..." The tire rolled across the road, and a scratch was drawn on the hot asphalt.

In front of the city gate, a fully armed guard platoon of 24 men was patrolling back and forth. On the sandy ground on both sides of the highway, there were a bunkers with machine guns, and chess pieces were generally distributed around. Near the barrier is a rapid-fire turret, the dark muzzle facing the dawn, reflecting the shining halo of the debut.

"Stop." The black lieutenant in charge of the patrol waved his hand, and several soldiers with guns swarmed up, standing on both sides of the car door with a serious face.

The black lieutenant held the scanner in his hand: "Please get out of the car and check."

"What, check?" Aros poked his head out of the car window. "Have you not received the news?"

"Received." The black lieutenant nodded and repeated: "Please get out of the car and get checked!"

"Check if you receive it?" Aros sat motionless in the carriage.

"Sorry, please cooperate with our work." At first glance, this guy is a dead brain, facing Aros who has a higher rank than him, he still has an official look.

"Okay, I will cooperate." Aros pushed the car door, jumped out of the car, and raised his hands, letting the black lieutenant take the inspection equipment to shine all over his body.

The power armor number, crew information, appearance, and dna code have long been synchronized to the military database by the Star Orbit Command Center. No matter how you check it, Aros's identity is also an upright Captain of the Empire.

No abnormality could be detected on Aros. The black lieutenant walked to the other side of the armored vehicle, stretched out his hand to pull the door, and said stiffly: "Please get out of the car for inspection."

Tang Fang frowned. Was this guy blind or had an abnormal brain, and his work was so rigid. You must know that the bureaucracy of the government departments is up and down. It goes deep into the grassroots of the military and government. He doesn't know how to treat officers with a higher rank than his own. Speak in a serious tone.

No wonder this guy is in his 30s and he is still a small lieutenant. With his style of acting, he didn't get old enough for a second lieutenant rank, which is already considered as a superior care.

His **** hasn't moved yet, and Howson can't help it behind. Kicked the car door with a "boom", swiped his toes forward, and grabbed the front of the black lieutenant's helmet with his right hand. "Huh, grandson, Shaonima pretends to be an uncle in front of Lao Tzu. Look, look, Lao Tzu. Two levels higher than you, Captain, Captain understands. Fuck..."

Both Tang Fang and Aros' faces were dark, and this kind of thing could be done by Howson. Fighting fiercely with the next level was really dismissing the majesty of an officer. But well, don't do this. Then it's not him. What's more, his approach is quite depressing.

"Wow."

Just when Howson looked fierce and fierce compared to the black lieutenant, there was a sound of pulling the safety bolt around. Tang Fang turned his head to look, but three or five recruits pointed their guns at Howson. And those veterans and those who are full-hearted are indifferent, like petrified.

"Do you really want to check me?" At this time. Tang Fang opened the car door and jumped off the co-pilot, the golden shoulder of the rank of lieutenant colonel gleaming in the morning sun.

The black lieutenant was held down by Howson's helmet like a seven-inch black spotted viper, no matter how much he struggled his body, it was of no avail.

"Sarubama. What have you done! The time I went to pee, you poke me such a big man." A 27- or 8-year-old captain came angrily. Not far behind him was a major with a sullen face.

Tang Fang tilted his head and winked at Howson. Only then did a tendon snorted coldly, and reluctantly let go of the black lieutenant.

"Hello, sir, I'm Hood, the 2nd company commander of the 1st Battalion of the City Defense Army of the Brave Bulwark." Hood turned and walked to the black lieutenant in a salute to Tang Fang: "Sarubama, what you did to me! Yes! The telegram from the military department is correct, and there are still checks to be done. You are something that has not succeeded in success, and has more than failed."

When Hu De was angry at Sarubama, the major came to the front and looked at Tang Fang's face for a long time before he saluted with a strange face: "The battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the'Bulwark of the Brave' city defense army, Bentham? Duncan met the sir."

The principal officer in front of him was too young, he was five or six years younger than him, which made him a little dazed.

"Roy Dale." Tang Fang replied with a forged name.

"Lieutenant Colonel, I'm sorry, I was late and surprised you." Bensom said respectfully. He rushed here when he received the news from the liaison officer, but he didn't expect to be a step late. Damn Bensom, how did he explain to his men, he just got such an eye-opening guy to guard the city gate. You must know that the three special commissioners in front of you were sent by the military, and they were directly under the Governor's Mansion. Once they annoyed him, they might not be able to eat them.

"Don't gossip, open the city gate." Tang Fang glanced at him and said lightly.

"Quick, quick, open the city gate." Bensom turned on the communicator and whispered.

"Boom." The huge gate, which is several meters thick, made of titanium alloys, depleted uranium materials, inert zero source element crystals and other substances, is like a hibernating behemoth awake, moving its bloated and clumsy body, slowly moving towards two. Side open.

Tang Fang opened the door and sat back in the co-pilot, greeted Aros and Howson to get into the car, then turned to look at Bensum and Hood, and swept across with arrogant and indifferent eyes: "I will take one step first, as for the loading and unloading personnel. , Think of your own way."

"Yes, yes, yes." The two nodded again and again. Such a young lieutenant colonel, or the confidant of Lord Aldridge, is absolutely blessed, young and promising, and the future must be unlimited. Such a person, even if he is not descended from nobles, must be a peerless genius.

If Tang Fang treats each other softly and kindly, they will have doubts in their hearts. The more arrogant and insolent he is, the more Bentham and others feel normal, because this is the Crotan Defense Army. , And even the rules of the game between the imperial military and political circles.

This shows the difference in status between officers with aristocratic background and civilian officers. If you use Howson’s adjective, it would be “cheap”, so low that it blends into the blood, bone marrow, and even the depths of the soul. People like Bensum and Hood have long been soaked in the empire’s sewage pool to become rotten and moldy. The backbone has been bent and deformed.

"Hood, put him in confinement for half a month. Let him reflect on it." Tang Fang and the others disappeared, and Bentham showed a grumpy and surly expression on his back feet.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, the battalion commander. I must fix him well." Hood cast a "I want you to look good" look at Sarubama and winked at several soldiers next to him. Those people didn't allow Sarubama to say, and walked towards the confinement room while holding him.

"Go, go to Erlian, ask Jiang Deyi to find 20 people, and come here to gather right away."

"Yes." Hood took the order.

Bentham turned his head and glanced at the slowly closing city gate, and the armored vehicle could still be seen from the back in the gap.

About half an hour ago, the polar-orbiting military satellite over the Frey continent suddenly sent a high-level ciphertext telegram. The content was to the effect that the governor sent an **** commissioner to **** 40 "heavy warriors" to aid the eastern battlefield. .

After the combat command center received the message. An order of assistance was sent to him as soon as possible. That was the highest level of ciphertext, and the identity of the three of them was the personal follower of the governor. He couldn't afford to provoke ten of such characters, and it was against Tang Fang's identity. Don't talk about suspicion, he hasn't even moved any crooked thoughts.

At the same moment, the armored vehicle passed the so-called impenetrable steel line of defense.

Howson put his feet on the edge of the car window, and his wretched smile stretched from the corner of his mouth to the root of his ears: "Hey, let alone, Tang Fang, you just pretended to be an imperial officer. You really have a little noble child pretending to be calm. He suddenly remembered the little white-faced officer who always loved to gesticulate in front of the soldiers when he was serving in the military, but was scared to pee by a stray bullet at the critical moment, and the little white-faced officer who looked like a woman.

Tang Fang glanced at him from the rearview mirror, smiled slightly, and said nothing. "The Brave Barrier"? The Great Wall of Steel that is difficult for nuclear bombs to break? But so what? No shots were fired. Without moving a single soldier, he just swaggered in.

Perhaps Bensom would think that there are only three of them, even if they use the strength of feeding milk, they can't get much spray. However, Aros and Howson are like mirrors.

It wasn't three small fishes that Bensom put in. It’s the real dragon crossing the river, or the dragon that swallows the sky with a large ticket...Whoever wants to underestimate that the co-pilot sitting upright is like a newly married young wife. In the end, he will definitely Suffer a lot.

One hour later, the armored vehicle drove into the outer edge of the Apalus Military Industrial Base, where there are many raw material tanks, reaction furnaces, smelting kilns, training workshops, crushing machinery... etc., all of which can be smelled far away. A smell of coke and smoke.

It belongs to the outer ring of the military industrial base, and there are large and small mineral smelting enterprises. Eighty percent of the minerals produced by the Southwestern Mineral Resource Base are transported here, refined and smelted, and then sent to the heavy military factory in the central ring of the base for processing into various ships and vehicle accessories, and transported to Kane? The Marquis Rudolph administers fleets and naval ports. Or directly assemble into a finished product, UU read www.uukanshu. com is used to enhance the combat capability of the Crotan Defense Forces and export to other princes in and outside the imperial kingdom.

Under the guidance of Tang Fang, Aros leaned against a steel mill and stopped. The three jumped out of the car, Tang Fang looked up at the closed-circuit surveillance camera on the signal light pole across the road, and walked over.

At the same time, in the super large monitoring room of the "Warrior Bulwark" command center, nearly a hundred staff members fell crookedly on their seats, chatting and spanking, talking about essays and celebrity gossip, or closing their eyes, taking time to take a nap and sleep. , Or gather in one place, throw sieve cards to play gambling.

When Tang Fang approached the signal light pole, a loyal guard was yawning and gazed at the closed-circuit monitor array in front of him. The command center had notified the "escort" incident, and he was not surprised when he saw the armored vehicle. But... but why did they stop? pee? Or is it tired and want to rest in place?

In other words, the gaze that this kid looked at the surveillance camera just now feels creepy. Hey, he went this way, he... what does he mean? He... what is he going to do?

The guard's mouth grows bigger and bigger, and his eyes become brighter. The former is spontaneous, while the latter is caused by the flashing electric reflection in the monitor.
