Chapter 52 Migration
Two days later, on the 30th, Renas finally met the captain of the ship, Colonel Brex Ferger.
I saw Colonel Brex, a middle-aged man with blonde hair, although he had a beard that stretched from his temples to his jaw, did not make him look very old.
The place where Colonel Brex met was on the bridge of the ship, which made Lenas feel that the officer was not the kind of person who only pursued class and ignored the essence of the military. Even when she saw Colonel Brex for the first time, she felt a vigorous youthful spirit, just like she had felt on the white fortress before, giving people a feeling of youth rather than old age.
Renas and Metatron stood side by side on the side of Colonel Brex and saluted him together. Colonel Brex, who was sitting on the captain's seat, turned left forty-five degrees and responded with a military salute.
"Sorry, because it was during the war, I can only receive you here." Colonel Brex said unexpected words in a kind tone.
Lenas couldn't help but admire and thought: "Although he is not a direct superior, his military rank is higher than ours, so he didn't need to apologize. He is the case with soldiers who are not his subordinates, let alone his direct subordinates."
Colonel Brex continued: "Our ship and some other warships were ordered to stand by here. The so-called support fleet is to support the situation of a new force when the main fleet is in bad shape. However, there are far more federal troops to attack the fortress of Abawaku than the defending Genes. I believe that if there is no accident, our ship does not need to go to the front line. Similarly, you two who are temporarily affiliated with our ship do not need to go to the battlefield again."
The meaning of Colonel Brex's words revealed optimism about the war, but his tone was still full of the cautiousness of the soldiers.
Brex smiled and thanked: "Thank you all the time, your battle is over." This time he spoke not like the superior, but like the elder, which made Lenas and Metatron feel warm.
"Thank you very much, Colonel." Renas thanked with emotion. Metatron, who was standing beside him, his eyes were filled with tears, his fists were clenched, and his lips were bitten by his teeth, but he could still see the irregular trembling of his facial muscles. Metatron did not expect that he, who had been fighting on the front line for a long time, was so expecting not to fight anymore.
Brex put away his smile and said in a serious tone: "Actually, you could have been sent back to the White Fortress or the front line, but General Raybill, who has been elected as commander-in-chief, signed a temporary transfer order to keep you here for the time being. I think the general did this to protect you, after all, you two have a relationship with the general."
Lenas was secretly surprised and glanced at Metatron with his own eyes. Her first battle for becoming the MS pilot was to protect General Rabier, so she understood her relationship with General Rabier. She thought in confusion: "Does Metatron also know General Rabier?"
Like Lenas, Metatron has more to appreciate now because of General Raybeer.
That was after the Battle of Odessa, General Rebier came to Europe for inspection. When he met Metatron, he met Metatron, who had fought for the first time in the Battle of Odessa. When he learned that the young Metatron had destroyed Wutaizagu alone, General Rebier associated him with Amro Lei and therefore had high hopes for him. It was precisely for this reason that Metatron, who was originally going to be tried in military law, had another choice - to join the army.
At this time, Colonel Brex took two documents with the Federal Army badges from his adjutant, handed them to Lenas and Metatron.
Lenas took the document and was surprised to find that this was actually a transfer order. There are many orders on personnel in the army, such as promotion, demotion, transfer of subordinates, retirement, etc. The above are common and commonly used, but there is also a personnel order, which is extremely rare, that is, transfer of households. The so-called transfer of households is not to transfer troops or fortresses or bases to which they belong, but to transfer status, that is, transferring from active-duty soldiers to reserves, or from reserves to active-duty. In peacetime, once soldiers have expired, they will be restored to civilian status and will automatically join the reserve. However, during wartime, due to the large loss of manpower, the army has no time to replenish their troops, and it is impossible to allow active-duty to be transferred to reserves. Therefore, whether in peace or wartime, "relocation of households" rarely appears.
On the white paper, a few short sentences were written in a black pen: "The current officer, Warrant Officer Renas Jessica Phoenix, was confirmed during the war, and was promoted to lieutenant, and was transferred from active duty to reserve. This order will take effect--Earth Federation Army."
The text of the "Earth Federation Army" signed at the end was also stamped with a special seal, which means the authenticity and legality of this order. However, Lenas noticed that there were some problems with the date of the next line of the "Earth Federation Army". It was not now, but on February 1, UC0080.
Lenas looked at Metatron beside him and found that the content of his document was not a transfer, but a transfer. The place where he could transfer was not a troops, but a "Federal Military Academy", and the date it marked was still February 1, UC0080.
Colonel Brex said, "This is what General Raybill wants me to hand it over to you. Do you have any opinions?"
Renas and Metatron were confused about the date at this time. They looked at each other, and finally Metatron asked, "What's the date above?"
"Or routine!" Colonel Brex said without hesitation.
"Hey!" Renas and Metatron were stunned and confused.
Colonel Brex joked, "Have you ever heard of criticisms such as the decay, incompetence of the Earth Federation Army and the slow operation of the organization?"
"Oh!" Renas and Metatron had a little idea.
Colonel Blex continued: "The reason why these two documents were approved so quickly was that Warrant Officer Renas was because von Brown put pressure on the federal army, Sergeant Metatron was because he had been appointed as the next president of the Federal Military Academy, the former commander-in-chief of the European Front General Gurion von McCross, and General Raybier took advantage of the situation and pushed it so quickly. However, if the "Federal Army was forced to order due to pressure from all parties" spread, wouldn't your Federal Army be discredited? Therefore, in order to cover up the truth of this matter, the date was deliberately written as a month later."
Renas couldn't help but smile bitterly. She had a new understanding of the corruption and incompetence of the Federal Army. At the same time, she admired Von Brown's efficiency in service. It was less than a month since they met with Von Brown's officials, and their efficiency was amazing.
