Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 20: Lieutenant Colonel Cross

"So, you want to recruit troops in the academy to defend the thugs in the city?"

In the vice president's room, Junio ​​Hendry, who was over seventy years old, looked at Charlie who was standing opposite the desk and said.

"Charlie, I want to remind you that your request is illegal and cannot be passed without an order from the king or the War Department."

"Mr. Huño, I understand this, but now that the Sona Palace is under siege, the life and death of Brigadier Berlan is unknown, and how many artillery pieces have fallen into the hands of the thugs. If we don't actively prepare for the war, we will have to wait for the thugs. Will the troops surrender to them when they come?"

Charlie said sincerely.

Junio ​​Hendry was the former staff officer of Charlie's grandfather Marshal Debra Clos. They were close and worked together to defeat countless enemies. He also watched Charlie grow from a newborn baby to a young officer today.

Charlie is also relying on this relationship to dare to put his destination in the military academy. He is going to rely on his friendship with Junio ​​and his own persuasion to persuade the old man to agree to open the small armory in the academy and allow Charlie to recruit. Soldier.

Facing Charlie's request, the old man sighed and stood up slowly. Seeing this, Charlie was about to step forward to help him, but Huño stopped him.

"Charlie, you're just a lieutenant, and it's not very convincing to let you go." He said, "Also, it's against the rules to let a lieutenant command too many people."

Charlie didn't speak, he looked at Junio ​​eagerly, waiting for what he would say next.

Junio ​​walked in front of Charlie, his expression suddenly became serious, he raised his head, and said sharply, "Charlie Close!"

Snapped!

Charlie stood up abruptly, raised his head high, and looked straight ahead, waiting for Junio's order.

"The appointment of Lieutenant Charles Cross of the 28th Infantry Regiment as the commander of the 1st Garrison Regiment of the Royal Military Academy, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. This appointment will take effect immediately from the date of issuance of the order - the Ministry of War of the Rumont Kingdom!"

As soon as Junio ​​finished speaking, he saw Charlie looking at him in astonishment. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he reminded, "Charlie, have you forgotten that I am also an officer of the Ministry of War?"

"Uh..." Charlie nodded sluggishly, he blinked his eyes, quickly reacted, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Junio, although you are an officer of the Ministry of War, it is not illegal to issue an appointment order without approval. Is it?"

Hearing the words, the corners of Junio's mouth twitched, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, saying: "Special treatment for special circumstances, Lieutenant Colonel Cross, I will order someone to open the small armory in the academy, yours The task is to organize a combat-ready infantry regiment in a short period of time, understand?"

"Understood!" Charlie said sternly, and he gave a military salute at the same time: "The students retire."

"Well, let's go."

Junio ​​waved his hand casually, turned and sat back in the chair behind the desk. After taking his seat, he looked at the door that had just closed and smiled with a complicated expression.

"Debra, it seems that your grandson is not as bad as you think."

he murmured in a low voice.

An hour later, Charlie, who had put on a brand-new military uniform, stood on the high platform of the academy in good spirits. Behind him, two second lieutenants who had been converted into system infantry also put on military uniforms and stood upright on the left and the right. .

In the past hour, under Charlie's instruction, the guards of the college publicized the conscription, which soon caused an uproar among the students. As Charlie expected, most of the students took the initiative to gather on the school grounds, hoping to join. This temporary recruited team.

However, what surprised Charlie was that the trainees chanted heroes after seeing themselves, making him look dazed. Fortunately, the captain of the guard, Goodwin, stepped onto the high platform in time and explained it to Charlie.

It turned out that after Charlie ordered the guards to publicize the conscription, Goodwin, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the students to respond, made them add fuel to the story of Charlie's bringing out the two remnants of the besieged army. I don't know the details of this, but it doesn't hinder the use of the human brain with full imagination - thus, Charlie's heroic deeds have been passed down.

After listening to Goodwin's explanation, Charlie could only laugh and cry. He also knew that this was Goodwin's good intentions. Maybe so many students came here, and they also deserved credit.

After explaining, Goodwin left the high platform with interest and returned to the stage to maintain order. After a while, Charlie raised his hand to signal people to be quiet.

He coughed lightly, and under the gazes of thousands of people, he said in his heart that it was impossible not to be nervous at all, but he quickly suppressed the tension in his heart and said calmly:

"I think everyone should be very clear about the reason for gathering here today. I won't talk about the nonsense of UU reading www.uukanshu.com. Let me introduce myself first. I am Charlie who graduated from here two years ago. Lieutenant Colonel Cross, I am also your senior to a certain extent."

"Just this morning, the citizens of Ankerton gathered in the Heroes' Square and were shelled by the Janissaries of the Sona Palace, which was the cause of this riot. From the beginning of the riot to the present, the whole city has been thrown into chaos. In the midst of the siege, the Sona Palace was under siege, the garrison of the capital betrayed the king, and the various parts of the Second Brigade were attacked by armed thugs, who even put their artillery into battle and bombarded us with grape bombs."

When they heard that the thugs used grape bombs to shoot at the officers and soldiers, the students in the audience suddenly burst into an uproar.

Charlie ignored the reaction of the students, he continued: "I am afraid that there is no army maintaining order in Ankerton now, so we can't pin our hopes on the distant reinforcements, we must arm ourselves! Wang Li As the cradle of the Kingdom’s army, how could the Military Academy be afraid of the rabble of armed thugs who would sit and watch the armed thugs storm this sacred campus?”

"can not!"

"Defend our academy!"

The hot-blooded youth raised their arms and shouted in response to Charlie's speech.

Charlie nodded, he took a step forward, and continued: "Our vice president, Earl Junio ​​Hendry, who is also an officer of the Ministry of War, instructed me to form an infantry regiment that can be put into battle in a short period of time. The infantry regiment will To maintain two full combat battalions with a total of 1440 soldiers, I hope everyone can actively sign up and fight for the defense of the academy!"

Charlie cleverly did not use the usual fight for the king. In his opinion, this newly formed infantry regiment would only be his personal property, that is, fighting for him alone.
