Doolin drove out of the city early in the morning. On the roadside about 20 kilometers away from the city, in a lush bush, he met the person he needed to see, Colonel Gordon from the imperial guard area.


    Yesterday, he contacted the deputy commander of the alert area and promised to donate a sum of money in a private name to establish a "patriotic military foundation" to thank those brave soldiers who died bravely to defend the great empire in the patriotic war, and provide necessary humanitarian care to the "soldiers" in service. In this regard, his Excellency the deputy commander is very grateful to durin for his kindness and praised his virtue. The communication between the two sides was very pleasant. Through the communication with the deputy commander, Du Lin knew that the army was not as comfortable as people thought.


    After the Navy became one, the military department not only gave the Navy many restrictions, but also monitored the movement of the army. If even the army is corrupted by capital forces, the last weapons of the Empire will fall into the hands of those businessmen, so it is difficult to get a lot of money or other benefits. But Dooling skilfully crossed this line of defense. In fact, this little hand is not great at all.


    Anyone, especially those who once held power, will face an extremely unwilling thing in his old age, that is to lay down his power and hand over all the privileges he enjoys. This will almost kill these people. If there are partisans, it''s a little better. At least they can eat and drink with the party behind them. However, soldiers, who are ordered to be banned from joining any party, have a difficult life after retirement.


    Of course, capable people can continue to enjoy various allowances and benefits and subsidies from other places, but for those non top-level generals, in their later years, except sitting in front of the old house and basking in the sun, they just consider where to find some money.


    The idea put forward by Dooling fits well with the situation of the deputy commander. He is sixty-two years old. According to the imperial regulations, he must retire and leave the army at the age of 68. He saved a little money, which was really a lot of money compared with ordinary soldiers, but for a general of his level, the money was actually nothing.


    Fortunately, Du Lin appeared. After his retirement, his Excellency the deputy commander can not only serve as the honorary director of the "patriotic military foundation", but also continue to operate his own contacts, which is what his Excellency the deputy commander values most.


    So Colonel Gordon, with 2000 soldiers, stationed in the field 20 kilometers outside Otis City, ready to support Otis city and suppress the rioters.


    Before Gordon''s departure, his Excellency the deputy commander once told him that they must see with their own eyes that those "mobs" do things harmful to the country and the people before they can use force to suppress them. If that doesn''t happen, if the mobs that Dooling said didn''t do anything, they can''t do anything.


    It is not cost-effective to lose the military cap for several years for the sake of an honorary director of the foundation.


    As soon as he got close to the camp, Du Lin was found by two secret outposts and blocked on the road. After he explained his identity, one soldier went back to report to Colonel Gordon, and another soldier with a gun was vaguely aimed at the ground in front of Turin and looked at him with vigilance.


    Fortunately, the discordant atmosphere disintegrated when Colonel Gordon appeared. Colonel Gordon had brown hair and didn''t look like a pure blood ogding. The lines on his face were very strong, just like carved with a knife.


    "Hello, Mr. Mayor, I''m very sorry that you were treated unhappily, but I also hope you can understand that this is our rule!" Gordon shook hands with Dooling and invited him into the camp. As he walked, he explained what had just happened.


    Du Lin was not angry. He felt that this was not a humiliation to him. The army should have its own rules and rigid dogma, because the army is not a politician. It can lie with its eyes open, nor is it a capitalist. It can talk nonsense with its eyes open. He smiled and said he could understand, which made Colonel Gordon feel very good about Dooling.


    As a colonel in the imperial guard area, the rank of Colonel Gordon is actually far less popular than that of a remote and small army base. The senior leaders of the old and new parties living in the imperial capital, the heads of major consortia and various powerful capitalists are the objects they can not offend. It seems that everyone still has some fear of soldiers. In fact, it''s just to maintain each other''s face. In the eyes of the old and new parties and capitalists, the army is a knife. The knife does not need to have its own feelings, but only needs to be able to poke into the back of others.


    After entering the camp, Doolin looked around and asked himself, "didn''t you bring a car? So do you need to be close to Otis before tomorrow?"


    Gordon knew what Dooling meant. He waved his finger. Immediately, two soldiers ran to the distant bushes and opened a net for camouflage and dotted with countless leaves. Under the net is a somewhat old military vehicle, which looks like it has been for some years. These military vehicles have not been listed in the replacement sequence, mainly because they can still be used. In addition, military vehicles are not the main weapons of war, and it is difficult to break out war in the next 20 or 30 years, so military enterprises have not carried out new research and development for military vehicles.


    "Mr. Mayor, we are professional soldiers, so we don''t need to worry about our problems. At 9:05, we can definitely get to the downtown area of Otis on time!"


    Dooling was very satisfied. He liked to communicate with soldiers, especially those at the bottom. After being brainwashed by the army, these soldiers can awaken their sense of autonomy, which shows that they have enough wisdom. At the same time, the special closed environment of the army makes them disdain to lie, unlike staff officers and generals.


    "Is there anything I can help? Such as food?", Du Lin saw that the breakfast of the soldiers was very simple, that is, a can of fish, a can of meat, a piece of fruit and a palm sized cake. "I can collect some fresh cattle and sheep, or cigarettes."


    Gordon wanted to refuse, but when he heard about cigarettes, his Adam''s apple couldn''t help sliding. The salary of the army is not high. Compared with the living environment of the Navy, which has the ability to eat fish and meat without the ability, the army is much more pitiful. In recent years, the military headquarters has also been increasing military spending on the army, but the main military spending has been spent on changing clothes, and few really fall into the pockets of grass-roots soldiers.


    Seeing that Gordon didn''t refuse, Dooling immediately understood, "I''m much more relieved to see you here. After all, when I received a secret report that they planned to destroy the city, I was also very flustered. I hope it''s just a wrong rumor, so that we can all save something. In this way, I''ll ask someone to send some living materials back. Please add some food to everyone. After all, because I let you run so far."


    Gordon said thank you and then accompanied Dooling to say some words and send him away.


    After returning to Otis, durin immediately asked Natalie to get a truck of cigarettes and a truck of spirits to the place he agreed with colonel Gordon. Then he asked dove to pick up someone at the station. It was an acquaintance, Savi.


    This time, Dooling needs some new faces, brave and less attractive guys. These half-sized boys are obviously the most suitable people.


    Savi came not alone, but 50 people. When dove received him, he couldn''t help looking at him more. Savi has received strict military training in the naval base for more than three months. I don''t know whether the children should be tall at this time or because those training are really useful. He is not only much stronger than before, but also taller and tan, There is also a certain momentum.


    When he saw Turin, Savi''s military temperament suddenly disappeared. He cheered, ran to Turin and hugged him. Then he lay loosely on the sofa, fanning the wind with his hand and complaining, "boss, isn''t your place? Aren''t you hot?"


    "Hot?", Doolin sneered, "I live in the steamer every day, and I''ve been afraid of heat for a long time." he smiled and handed Savi a cigarette. When Savi was ready to take out his lighter, Doolin moved his lighter in front of him. "You have almost a hundred people under your hand now. If you don''t get a team leader, I''m afraid your boy will blame me."


    "No way! Thank you, boss!" he came up to the lighter and lit the cigarette on his mouth. There was no excitement from Haite or the giggle of Jose when they were promoted to team leader. He behaved very normally and leaned forward, "I knew I could be promoted to team leader for a long time, otherwise how could those people convince me? What work will they do this time?"


    Durin rubbed his head, pushed him aside, and his face became more and more serious. "Here''s a guy named bujo, he..."


    "Shall I kill him?" Savi robbed.


    Durin glared at him. When there were no outsiders, everyone was a family, so he wouldn''t blame Savi. "I''m talking about business, okay?" Savi''s smiling face, like Dove, also converged and became serious. "He planned to launch a strike to force me to bow my head, but I didn''t intend to do so, so the next task is yours." , Dooling went to the door and closed it gently, isolating the space.


    The white clouds in the sky stopped and went, but the sun never turned back and ran to the West. The sunset dotted the sky, and there were more people on the streets of OTIS.


    But some of these people are worried, but some people are excited in their eyes, because a big event is about to happen!
