after waking up.

Chapter 4 Gunshots in the Courtroom
The soldiers of the [-]rd Battalion had already made preparations. As long as they were not really unable to move, they would have arrived spontaneously as early as when Mulan was being arraigned. The court was still deliberating on Mulan's request. out of court.

Obviously, the spirit of these soldiers is completely different from the military police outside the court and some security soldiers who have never seen blood. Dozens of people appeared outside the court at the same time, even if they did not carry guns, the momentum in the angry eyes still made the court. The foreign security guards were nervous, but fortunately they just stood outside and did not act aggressively.

Soon, the judge in the court and some judges were ready to accept Mulan's request after deliberation.

With the wounded soldiers of the [-]rd Battalion appearing in the courtroom, showing their wounds with the help of doctors and nurses, and also telling their experiences in the way of soldiers, the [-]rd Battalion of the [-]nd Corps experienced the "absolute death" The battle" also gradually unfolded in the minds of the court.

It was not a battle purely for victory, but a battle for survival, and in the end only 77 soldiers of the [-]rd Battalion survived.

When the last soldier was sent out of the courtroom, there was only one defendant left in the courtroom, Mulan. He was always paying attention to the situation in the courtroom. Many people were discussing, many people remained silent, and many people began to feel uneasy.

"Second Lieutenant Jonest, although you and your subordinates' injuries and your descriptions are very moving, it is a bit exaggerated to be able to withdraw with the strength of a crippled battalion that has resisted several times the enemy's attack."

When the prosecution officer said this, Mulan looked at him with no expression on his face. He had explained so much before, and he could not refute this question forcefully, so he could only ignore it, but at this time, another voice sounded from the audience.

"I heard from those soldiers that Lieutenant Jonest, your marksmanship is outstanding, I wonder if you can show it."

Mulan turned to look at the source of the sound. It was a tall man sitting on the front edge. He was wearing a straight black dress, a top hat, leather shoes, a white shirt, a black bow tie, white gloves, and a walking stick. The facial features are straight and the face is calm.

Such a person who is outstanding in the environment, Mulan seems to have only discovered the other party. He recovered and said something in response.

"I'm on trial."

"My lord, I would like to see the marksmanship of this second lieutenant in order to confirm how much water his valour is."

The man made the request directly to the judge and continued to speak without waiting for an answer.

"Lieutenant Jonest, if you don't have a gun, you can borrow one on the spot."

Mulan was slightly startled.

"You mean, shoot here?"

The man smiled.

"It seems that you are carrying a gun. It should be in the purse on the nurse's body."

Mulan glanced at the purse subconsciously, and then suddenly realized why the courtroom became so quiet. He looked at the judge, looked at other people, some looked at the gentleman, some was whispering, some was sorting out information , the sound seems to be more distant.

It's just that Muran was not allowed to think about it. The man's voice just fell, and he suddenly reached into his pocket, and the next moment it was raised to the sky, and three silver coins with reflective lights were thrown into the sky.

"shot!"

At the same moment when the man's majestic voice came, Mulan's thoughts turned, his intuition overwhelmed his reason, and he stretched his hand to the nurse's waist almost instantly, and pulled out the revolver from the bag like lightning.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

The gunshots compressed in the room were deafening, and the gunshots were mixed with the crisp collision of bullets and three silver coins.

The sound of the gunshot was too sudden. The judge held his head and shrank in front of the stage. Many people's bodies were still huddled in the chairs. Many soldiers had just touched their guns. On the ground in front of the trial table, a Some twisted coins are spinning and then dumping slowly.

The lingering sound of the gunshots was still there, and Mulan had put the gun back in his purse. At least three military police beside him pointed their guns at him nervously, and the hall was still silent for the time being.

"clap clap"

"I thought you hit one at most, good marksmanship!"

The man applauded and looked forward.

"Your Majesty, let's continue the trial."

The man's words were an understatement, but the officer on trial actually brought a gun into the courtroom, and even shot in the courtroom, which directly caused a riot.

"Your Honor, Lieutenant Jonest entered court with a gun and shot in court, contempt of court!"

"What do the gendarmerie do, and why don't they disarm the officers on trial?"

"Lieutenant Jonest, who gave you the right to shoot in court?"

The noisy questioning made the serious courtroom noisy. Mulan looked at the man, but the other party just sat there and didn't care about anything. The people around seemed to ignore the other party. This made Mulan feel strange, but also made him feel strange. I couldn't help but twitched my mouth, are you kidding me?
"dong dong dong"

The judge smashed the gavel several times, and the wording was extremely harsh.

"Second Lieutenant Jonest, you entered the court with a firearm, and you openly shot in the court, in serious contempt of the military court, please put your handcuffs on, and then enter the court stage."

play off
Mulan looked at the man again depressedly, knowing that this person must be very special, I hope it is not a simple prank.

The commotion finally passed, Mulan's wounds had been re-bandaged by nurses and doctors, and he was now sitting in a chair in handcuffs.

Of course, after the amazing three shots, no one in the hall would look down on him now.

The restlessness in the courtroom was like the restlessness in Mulan's heart. Mulan's personal purse was also temporarily confiscated. After a long wait
"Dong dong."

The judge hit the wooden anvil with a small wooden hammer to make the court quiet quickly. There was a note on his table, which should be the result of the verdict after the discussion.

The old judge looked at the defendant in front of him seriously for a while, at least in his heart, he had respect for this heroic second lieutenant, but the reality was not black and white, nor horizontal and vertical.

After a moment of silence, the old judge began to read out the results.

"The [-]rd Battalion of the [-]nd Corps failed in defense and bears unshirkable responsibility"

When hearing this, many officers in the court stood up, and some people were slightly relieved. Mulan's heart tightened but he was not panicked, he was waiting for the judge's words.

The judge glanced at the seriously injured second lieutenant sitting there, and the other's face was still solemn and unmoved.

"However, after review of the [-]rd Battalion, the [-]rd Battalion did engage in a tenacious battle. Given the overall misjudgment of the war situation at that time and the huge difference in strength between the enemy and the enemy, the culpability of the [-]rd Battalion and its commander, Second Lieutenant Jonest, could be appropriate. lighten"

After speaking, the judge paused again and said the final result.

"This court pronounced the verdict in court, exempting the third battalion from the honor of this campaign, the third battalion was revoked and incorporated into other units, the rank of second lieutenant Jones was removed, and the rank was reduced to private."

After the judge finished reading, Mulan remained motionless, and there was a lot of discussion in the courtroom.

At this time, Mulan stood up slowly, covering the noise in the court with a slightly hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty, I accept this trial and will not appeal. My military service period has expired and my physical condition is not optimistic, so I will apply for retirement in court."

Applying for retirement is of course unethical in the court environment, but the Dilga Military Court can order the defendant to retire. Now Mulan has applied directly, and the military chief is there. If the court accepts it, the process will be more efficient.

The court was quiet for a while and became noisy. Some people were relaxed, others were complicated, and Mulan was also the one with a relatively relaxed state of mind. Most of the applications at this moment would be approved by the court, and those "plaintiffs" would definitely There will be a green light.

Sure enough, the judge nodded after a moment of silence.

"Accept the application of Lieutenant Jonest."

The military trial was over. Mulan held an envelope issued by the court in his hand and was carefully helped on the stretcher. He didn't need to suffer at this time. His eyes swept to the side of the audience, and the gentleman in black stood up. , took off his hat to Mulan.

When Mulan's stretcher was carried out of the courtroom, the people in the courtroom gradually dispersed.

The result of this military trial did not stir up any big waves. Even in the local newspaper, it only occupied a small space, but for Mulan, it was a big hurdle.

Although the application for retirement was approved quickly, after all, he was seriously injured, and Mulan still needed a period of recuperation before he could go home by boat, but during this period, he also discovered another special feature of himself.

Twenty days after the trial ended, Mulan's injury had recovered to the point where he could move at a speed beyond the normal range. Although he was still wrapped in gauze, he found that his injured left arm seemed to be stronger than his right arm. Mullan Jones doesn't appear to be a lefty.

Every aspect of this world reveals a sense of familiarity, and sometimes Mulan can't help but wonder if it is a parallel time and space of the earth, but there are more differences than similarities.

Originally, the memory of the body was messy. Mulan hoped to live on, to understand the world, and if possible, he hoped to return to the home where there was an internet and games.

The trial was at the beginning of October, known in ancient times as the Moon of Golden Fall or the Moon of Silentness. Now, at the end of the month, Mulan finally set off.

Inside the tent, Mulan packed up his personal belongings, a suitcase and the yellow leather bag, and put a boat ticket on the leather bag, with the words "Princess Nisherier" written on it, and the sailing time is [-] o'clock in the afternoon.

There was the sound of hooves and wheels rolling outside the tent, followed by a sound.

"Mulan, how's it going?"

"Packed up."

Mulan responded. An officer came in from outside. It was the military police warrant officer. He was the person who visited Mulan the most besides the soldiers of the third battalion. The most diligent.

Without saying a word, the warrant officer took the initiative to pick up Mulan's suitcase, and the latter followed him with his purse.

At this moment, Mulan was lined with a shirt, his left hand was still held up by gauze, and he was wearing a black coat and a black top hat on his head. The black eyes are very energetic, and the figure is relatively tall. Although he looks a little thin due to the injury, he is very handsome.

The carriage outside was the same as the one that picked him up for trial a month ago, but this time, Mulan felt much more relaxed. After saying goodbye to the doctors and nurses who came to see him off, he boarded the carriage with the warrant officer.

The port of Dia, a deep-water port, is about an hour's carriage ride from the barracks.

As the carriage continued to approach the port of Dia, the surrounding roads became busy, and various carriages and rickshaws became more numerous. On the other side, a steam train with steam overhead was loaded with goods.

Seeing the train, while thinking of the bustling 21st century area, Mulan couldn't help but think of the terrifying steam tanks on the battlefield.

"Mulan, here we are."

Mulan's eyes turned from the carriage window to the warrant officer of the military police who was sitting opposite, and then to the window on the other side. The carriage was already next to the port, and outside, a tall ship was docked at the deep water dock. The chimney is steaming.

After Mulan and the warrant officer opened the door, they got out of the carriage together and gave him a sincere smile.

"Thank you Brooke, and, sorry."

"You're welcome, and you don't need to apologize. I believe you are a hero, and I am very honored to be your friend!"

Mulan didn't say much, went up to hug him and patted him on the shoulder. This young warrant officer has his own heroic dream, but Mulan didn't want him to really see the cruelty of war, and he himself I don't want to see you a second time.

When Brook wanted to help Mulan carry the suitcase, Mulan refused, but took the lead in picking up the suitcase by himself.

"I'm not so weak anymore, don't worry Brooke, I'll go home safely!"

The warrant officer smiled and gave a military salute. This Mulan Jonest's physical fitness is really amazing.

"Then I wish you a smooth return journey, and see you when you have a chance!"

"goodbye!"

After the warrant officer's carriage left, Mu Lan picked up the suitcase and turned to the boarding point.

There are not only cruise ships, but also warships in the port. Some of these warships are covered with iron sheets, some are made of wood, but there are also steel warships that are steaming.

After showing the ticket, Mulan successfully boarded the Princess Nesselir. This is not a luxury cruise ship. The huge ship has a very affordable ticket, which allows it to accommodate a large number of passengers of all kinds and also takes into account the cargo function.

Relatively speaking, Mulan's attire is relatively decent, so the crew members he encounters are more polite to him. He also has a separate guest room, which is small but private.

But Mulan did not rush to the cabin, but after boarding the ship, put the suitcase on his side, and stood on the side of the deck ship looking at the port below and the ocean in the distance.

All kinds of people walk through the busy wharf, loading and unloading, boarding and disembarking,
"duo~~~"

The loud ship whistle sounded, and the Princess Neshuriel was about to sail.

Mulan lowered her head and looked at the leather bag beside her. The gun wheel was quietly inside the bag, waiting for the owner to pull it out, and its owner was also anxious and looking forward to his new life.
