Tanna Island, a military camp on the outskirts of Morro.Two battalions of the Wehrmacht are stationed here.Tonight, the barracks didn't seem much different from usual, and the soldiers were already asleep in the barracks.However, it was an unusual night for the officers.All the officers above the company level were notified at twelve o'clock, and as the succession ceremony was approaching, Colonel Marcus, the commander in charge of the military defense of the capital city of Morro, sent a directive to the officers to immediately return to the camp and convene a meeting to study the deployment of the defense in two days.The country of Comoro has not been at war for many years, and the people of the entire archipelago are simple, and the army has already lost a lot of vigor and vigor in the peaceful peace.Even after receiving the order, at one o'clock, the officers rushed to the barracks one after another.As a result of recent personnel transfers within the army, Colonel Marcus was appointed commander of the 1st Battalion and temporarily assumed the position of Commander of the 2nd Battalion.Naturally, the appointment of such a strange person will inevitably cause some behind-the-scenes discussion among the officers.But everyone seems to be smelling something unusual.That is, the two battalions around the city of Morrow, the capital, were controlled by the henchmen of the former Minister of Defense Lausanne, and after Prince Gary's succession was deposed, he was also removed from the important post of deputy commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht.There is a grapevine that the reason why the old king Eno IX did this was because he was afraid that Prince Gary would be angry and would be unfavorable to the new king Hassan after his death, so he first took action to put Gary in the air.Of course, many people also know that it is not easy to overturn Gary and Lausanne?
Not to mention anything else, the Prince of Lausanne's clan is so powerful in Comoro that it is simply above 10,000 people under one person, when Eno IX ascended the throne, the Lausanne family also made great contributions, and it is because of this that Lausanne can be awarded the title of prince.The post of Minister of Defence has always been held by the Lausanne family, and has never been left behind.The energy and connections accumulated over the years in military circles, as well as the old protégés who have been promoted, can be abolished from the post of defense minister?
Of course, not everyone in the military obeyed Lausanne's command.For example, a group of newly appointed non-aristocratic young Zhuang officers led by Marcus have always despised Lausanne's various behaviors of promoting only its own people and suppressing officers who are not in its own circle.Although Marcus was a full-fledged child in the Comoro military, he was trained in a military academy and studied at the Saint-Cyr Military College in France, which is a rare birth in the Cormorro army.However, because of his disagreement with Prince Lausanne and others, he was still excluded from the core of power in the army, and before Crown Prince Hassan did not use Marcus, he was only a major, and he was sent to the warehouse to manage logistics, not much different from a warehouseman.After deposing Prince Gary as heir, Eno IX promoted Prince Hassan to the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Defense and Minister of Defense, and Hassan began to promote people from his circle.Among them was the depressed Lieutenant Colonel Marcus, who was directly promoted to colonel and was in charge of two battalions of soldiers, and was transferred to the city of Morrow, responsible for the security of the capital.With the exception of the Royal Guard, a soldier who closely protects members of the royal family, Marcus's position is the equivalent of the Imperial Guard.Several officers walked into the conference room sleepily, yawning and rubbing their eyes.Marcus sat behind the chair at the front of the conference room, watching his subordinates languishing as if they had smoked a big cigarette, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.For a soldier who had studied at a European military academy, Marcus was already very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Wehrmacht.Corruption, low combat effectiveness, and so on, and Marcus blames Lausanne for all this.He was ambitious to carry out reforms within the army, at least to rectify the entire Komorro army with what he had learned in Europe.Marcus, who was originally sitting on the cold bench in the army, was already heartbroken, and he almost submitted an application for retirement, but it was Hassan's ascension that gave him hope, and he saw the dawn of reform in this new crown prince.He firmly believes that as long as Hassan comes to power, his dream can be achieved."
Cheer up!
It's time for a meeting!
”He slammed the table with his fist a few times.There was silence in the briefing room.Nearly 20 company-level officers and battalion-level deputies returned to their desks and sat down in positions according to their ranks and positions."
What about Mossar?"
Marcus scanned the room and noticed that there was no one missing.Mossar, this is the confidant of the Prince of Lausanne, the deputy commander of the 1st battalion.Marcus didn't like this person very much, and wanted to transfer him a long time ago, but he had just taken office, and the troops had just been transferred to Morro City, and if he made a drastic adjustment of his position, I am afraid it would cause some unnecessary suspicion.Crown Prince Hassan and himself have a consensus that the matter of exchanging blood must be low-key and not show traces.Everyone craned their necks and looked around."
He doesn't seem to have arrived yet."
Someone spoke for Mossal, "He lives far away, maybe it will take a little time on the road." ”"The notice was sent at 12 o'clock, and now it's 10 o'clock, an hour and 10 minutes, if you don't know, you think that our territory in Comoro is bigger than France."
There was a low chuckle in the briefing room.It was once a French colony, and a nearby island that was originally owned by Comolo is still under French control, and locals jokingly refer to France."
Okay, since he's late, we won't wait for him."
Marcus thought to himself, Mosal is Lausanne's henchman anyway, maybe it would be better if he didn't come tonight, so let him go."
Before the meeting, please hand over your mobile phone and all communication tools, and I will take care of them for the time being, and you can take them back after the work is completed."
With that, he beckoned to the door.Two heavily armed soldiers appeared in the briefing room, one holding a plastic basket."
Please put all your communication tools and mobile phones in there."
This situation was a surprise to all.At the same time, keen people have sensed that tonight is definitely not as simple as arranging the security work of the succession ceremony.Of course, although lazy, these people still know that they are soldiers, and it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and Marcus is a stern guy, and those two soldiers with loaded guns have obviously been arranged a long time ago, who knows how many such soldiers are outside the door?
The first person puts the phone in the basket.Although many of them are Lausanne's henchmen, under the herd effect, everyone still took out their mobile phones and put them in the basket.Marcus was secretly happy.When he received tonight's task, he was also a little worried.After all, among the officers of the two battalions, there are still more old units in Lausanne, and now let them hand over their mobile phones, and then let people control several of Lausanne's henchmen, and the rest of the neutral faction and the officers who were originally from their own faction will definitely obey their words.When the time comes, all the people of Lausanne will be imprisoned, and he can take the rest of the officers and launch an emergency assembly to mobilize the army to Marlow Island and round up Gary.Once Gary is caught, the overall situation is basically decided, and it will be easy to clean up Lausanne when the time comes."
Why don't you wait for me for a meeting!?"
Outside the door, Mossar's voice suddenly came.A chubby, dark-skinned officer appeared in the doorway, his small snake-like eyes narrowed into slits, staring at Colonel Marcus on the stage.
