Uncle B of the pirate is invincible

Chapter 95 The Colonel's Call

A week passed quickly in the daily training, as well as the quarrel with Guy, and the promotion ceremony that Guy was looking forward to finally arrived.

On the day of the promotion ceremony, the weather was very cool, and the cool sea breeze was very comfortable. It was not as hot as it was when I met Colonel Byrne for the first time two months ago.Nearly a thousand officers and soldiers from the entire base gathered in the review field to witness the glory bought with blood.

"Next, Corporal Burt, please come on stage!" As Second Lieutenant Mill's crisp voice spread throughout the review field, Burt straightened his military uniform, and under the expectant gaze of Guy who had finished the ceremony, he raised his chest and raised his head. Step onto the reviewing desk.

"Corporal Burt, I hope you will continue to do your duty faithfully and uphold justice." Colonel Byrne smiled and handed the promotion certificate to Burt who stood solemnly and quietly.

"Yes, sir, I will definitely live up to expectations!" Bertrand replied, and then took the promotion certificate with both hands.

Colonel Byrne stretched out his hand and smiled, "Congratulations, Sergeant Burt."

"Thank you very much." Burt shook hands with the Colonel politely.At the same time, several naval photographers who were on standby all around immediately took pictures.

"Navy Corporal Ma Wenbert, because in the battle to completely wipe out the Blood Anchor Pirates, he defeated the captain's bounty of 550 million Berry Pirates "Sharp Knife" Jack led the espionage team, smashed the Blood Anchor Pirates and burned the port warehouse The evil attempt; annihilated the forward who landed and attacked Rogue Town led by the deputy captain of the Blood Anchor Pirates "Gentleman" Vinson; killed Hank the "Blood Anchor" with a bounty of 1300 million Berries, and made a great contribution, hereby Promote the rank of Corporal Burt to Sergeant!" Second Lieutenant Mill read aloud the achievements of each promoted officer.

Hearing that Burt had almost independently solved the great feat of the Bloodanchor Pirates' main combat power, all the navies in the review field focused their attention on Burt on the stage.

Feeling the proud, excited, uplifting, jealous, suspicious, or disdainful gazes, Bert suddenly understood why so many people are pursuing power and status, because no matter what you think, you have to look up to Lao Tzu. It feels so high.

After finishing his promotion, Bert, who returned to the queue, could still feel the gazes falling on him from time to time, and felt indescribably refreshed, watching the next ceremony happily.

In the process of being amused by Sergeant Carter, who was blushing, and 200% contempt for Warrant Officer Jason, who had a calm expression, time passed quickly, and the promotion ceremony that had been going on for 3 hours was finally gone. It's the end.

The last promoted officer came down from the reviewing stand, and Colonel Byrne walked to the center. When the officer returned to the team and stood up, he said solemnly and in a voice that could be clearly heard by the audience: "Now let us prepare for the The soldiers who died heroically in the battle observed a three-minute silence."

"Shua!" The navy in the audience, including the few photographers who kept taking pictures, immediately stood in silence and bowed their heads in silence.

"Everyone, we celebrate our victory here today, but we must never forget those comrades-in-arms who ascended to heaven. It is their sacrifice that brought us victory and glory!" The colonel's resounding voice sounded again when the silence was over, "Condolences Sacrifice, celebrate victory, and defend justice, this is the navy, the fate of the glorious navy that maintains the order of the four seas and the great sea routes. It is also me, and it is the fate of each of you. The Blood Anchor Pirates, who have ravaged the East China Sea for more than ten years The tumor was cut off overnight by you, and the Donghai people who were helplessly praying in this long night ushered in the long-lost light. It is undeniable that this is a great victory. But it is only a step towards the ultimate glory Xiaobu, because there are still countless pirates burning, killing and looting in the vast East China Sea, and looking at the whole world, the power of pirates is no longer a threat to the world government all the time, countless innocent people are under the influence of pirates. Howling and struggling, we are far from the time when we can rest in peace. Heroic soldiers, I ask you, at this very moment, let go of the glory you have just won, and turn your attention to the next difficulty. Because justice is calling us ahead !"

"Justice must prevail! The navy must prevail!" Second Lieutenant Mill was the first to raise his right arm and shouted.

"Justice must prevail! The navy must prevail!", "Justice must prevail! The navy must prevail!"... The entire review field instantly became a jungle of arms and a sea of ​​cheers.

Burt was also among the cheering navy. Although he had experienced various leadership speeches and had already understood to a certain extent that such words could not be easily believed, he was still moved by the colonel's speech.

"Although it is not the same as the real situation, but it is so correct in terms of reason, so people can't refuse it!" Bert knew in his heart that the reality of the world government is definitely not higher than that of pirates, but the colonel's words are true. He is impeccable in reason, and combined with his superb speech level, people want to agree and follow him from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Bert, who has been ignorant for 20 years, has been incited, and the navy, which mostly only knows the situation in the waters near Rogge Town, is of course already enthusiastic.Burt had no doubts that even if Whitebeard appeared here now, it would take an atmospheric shock to calm down these fanatical naval officers and soldiers.

The entire promotion ceremony ended in such a frenzied atmosphere. The disbanded navies walked together in groups of three or four and talked loudly, with the momentum that the whole army would go out to sea to sweep the East China Sea tomorrow.

And Burt was not spared, and was pulled by the flushed Guy and kept talking about various grand ideas, as if he was the admiral of the navy.

"Bert, what the Colonel said is great! Justice is calling us ahead, this sentence is so handsome!"

"Yes."

"Bert, you said that if one day we can stand on the stage like a colonel and say this to thousands of naval officers and soldiers, how awesome it would be!"

"Yes."

"In the future, we must command our own warships to catch all the pirates who are causing trouble to the world!"

"There must be a chance."

"Bert, why don't we set off for the great route today? I really can't wait to go to the headquarters to learn high-strength skills!"

"Be patient."

"Bert, do you think we should hold a collective petition and let the colonel lead us to the sea to clean up the East China Sea!"

"(□)"

Burt is the type of passion that comes and goes quickly.Although he was incited by the colonel's speech, he regained his composure as soon as he put his hand down, and now he even forgot the colonel's speech.At this moment, listening to what Guy said was outrageous, Bert was really annoyed, so he blinked his eyes and wanted to use physical means to calm Guy down.

Just as he quietly raised his right hand, ready to give Guy a chestnut of love, someone suddenly shouted from behind: "Sergeant Burt, please wait a moment."

Bert, who thought he had been spotted, put his raised hands behind his back like lightning, and whistled to the sky.

"Bert, he was the messenger that day." Guy was a little puzzled by his brother's sudden whistling, but he still told Bert what he saw when he heard the sound and turned around.

"Order?!" Bert was relieved when he heard Guy's words, and then he tightened again.

He turned his head and saw that it was really the messenger who had looked for him twice the day before four days ago.

I saw the orderly approaching with a smile on his face, and congratulated Burt first: "Sergeant Burt, congratulations on your promotion. I was so excited when I heard about your achievements just now." Then he said with a serious expression: "The colonel asked I'm here to send an order, please go to him, he has something to talk to you about."

"What should come is still coming!" Originally, Bert had spent a peaceful week in the barracks, and Burt had already thought that the incident of his big mouth had passed in such a vague way, but now the colonel suddenly talked to him, My first instinct is that the day's work is not over yet.

He knew in his heart whether it was a blessing or a curse, and that he couldn't avoid it, so he didn't do anything unwise and stupid. He smiled and said to the messenger: "I just did what I should do, brother, you are too polite. I will I'll go with you to see the Colonel."

After speaking, he said to Guy again, telling him to go back first.Then he followed the smiling messenger and left.

Although Guy was curious about what the Colonel wanted Bert to do, he knew that Bert would tell him if he asked afterward, so he was not in a hurry, but went to the other navy members of the same team to continue talking.

Burt didn't tell Guy what he was worried about, because it would have no other meaning except one more kid who couldn't sleep, and it was the safest thing for Guy to know nothing.

Burt was chatting with the orderly while looking for the colonel. Except for being nervous when he first heard the order, he was very calm now, because people are always very lonely when faced with force majeure.

However, Bert's heart was raised as he walked, and he asked the orderling seemingly unintentionally: "Brother, this doesn't seem to be the way to the colonel's office?" It turned out that Bert found that they were going the wrong way.

"Yes, the colonel asked you to meet him at the sentry tower." The orderly replied casually.

"Outpost? Is it to catch a tiger in the jar? There won't be a large number of generals waiting for me inside!" Bert began to feel a little guilty.

But no matter how guilty he is, turning around and fleeing now is the most stupid option. Bert can only bite the bullet and follow the orderly to the end.

The distance that was not far away was soon over. Seeing the sentry tower in front of him, which was no different from usual, Burt gritted his teeth secretly, and walked into the gate opened by the messenger.

Unexpectedly and as a matter of course, there was nothing unusual in the sentry tower except for the soldiers on routine duty. Burt, who had a false alarm, followed the messenger and quickly arrived at the top of the sentry tower.In front of the wooden door leading to the top floor, the orderly stopped and made a gesture of invitation to Bert and said, "The colonel asked the sergeant to go in alone."

Burt smiled and nodded at the messenger, walked to the door and took a deep breath, then firmly held the door handle, opened the door and walked in.
