C1683 collapse of morale (1/2)
The soldiers did not dare to be disrespectful to the officer, so they only watched Andreev from the sidelines and did not dare to lay their hands on him. However, all the high ranking officers stayed in the A * re Treasury, so it was not enough for the Battalion Commander to be here.
The rum in the silver wine jug had been snatched away, and a piece of compressed biscuit that was randomly put in it had been washed away. At that moment, he truly regretted not bringing any more food over.
This kind of special Chinese military rations were made with all kinds of stir-fried rice flour, flour, Wu Gu flour, bean flour, and heavy oil mixed with salt and sugar.
The heavy taste and high heat was a characteristic of this kind of food. It could be said that the taste was truly unsatisfactory, but at this moment, what the people of Tangwan Mountain needed was not heat, but merely the taste within the compressed biscuits.
They had not eaten salt for a long time, and their mouths were so light that they almost lost their sense of taste. Several officers crowded around them and cut the compressed biscuits into pieces with their daggers, crushing them into powder. One by one, they greedily rubbed them with their thumbs and forefingers, scattering them on the tip of their tongues.
”How can this be? ”Have all of you gone mad …” Andreev subconsciously asked.
”We're not crazy, we haven't been late for salt in a long time. You should really bring some salt this time …” Following the voice was a red-haired young man. When Andreev saw that the person holding the title of commander was a colonel, he immediately thought of the information the Chinese CIA had given him and knew that it was Akson.
Akson's rank might not be high, but everyone knew that he was the special envoy of the Far East that the Tsar had secretly set up. Of course, he could not hold this position anymore, but what was undeniable was that his rank was still extremely high.
”Close the door of the treasury and light up a few more mines …” With Akson's order, the loyal guards struggled to close the thick and heavy metal door, isolating the soldiers who were sizing them up.
The treasury was sealed, more than ten lamps were lit, the treasury was illuminated, and only then did Andreev clearly see the astonishing scene in front of him. ”Oh my god, why is there so much gold …”
In front of him was a container piled with gold. It was neat and square, with rectangular gold ingots placed on top of it.
The room was filled with gold coins and gold ingots that fell to the ground and were kicked everywhere by the leather boots. There were also many boxes in the corner that were not opened to form the beds for the military officers. A blanket was enough for them to sleep on.
What was even more unfathomable was that there was a complicated Domino Circle Formation placed beside Akson. It looked like this was the Major's usual game.
Playing Domino's Block with gold ingots was really extravagant.
Akson laughed bitterly and said, ”Are you very surprised? We were surprised, too, but it was because of these things, our fleet, our soldiers, that we were lured here... It was a complete wipeout! ”
”If I could start all over again, I'd rather give up and have some salt in exchange than this …” Saying that, Akson suddenly lost control of her emotions, he grabbed a gold ingot and smashed it onto the wall crazily.
”What do I want with all this gold? ”These aren't gold, they're all poisonous snakes …” With a muffled bang, the gold ingot fell to the ground and became distorted.
