After waking up

The soldiers of the third battalion had been prepared for a long time. As long as they were not really unable to move, they had already arrived spontaneously when Mulan was being interrogated. The court was still discussing Mulan's request, and nearly seventy soldiers came to the scene. Already arrived outside the court.

Obviously, the spirit of these soldiers was completely different from the military police outside the court and some security guards who had never seen blood. Dozens of them appeared outside the court at the same time. Even if they were not carrying guns, the aura under their angry eyes still made the court stunned. The security guards outside were very nervous, but fortunately they just stood outside and did not act excessively.

Soon, after discussion with some members of the trial committee, the judge in the court was ready to accept Mulan's request.

As the wounded soldiers of the 3rd Battalion appeared in court one after another, showing their wounds with the help of doctors and nurses, and also telling their experiences in the way of soldiers, the "death" experienced by the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Corps "Battle" also gradually appeared in the minds of everyone in the court.

It was not a battle purely for victory, but a battle for survival. In the end, only 77 soldiers of the third battalion survived.

When the last soldier was sent out of the court, Mulan was the only defendant left in the court. He was always paying attention to the situation in the court. Many people were talking, many remained silent, and many people began to feel uneasy.

"Second Lieutenant Jonest, although the injuries you and your men suffered and your descriptions are very moving, it is a bit exaggerated to say that you were able to withstand several times the enemy's attack and retreat with your incomplete battalion."

When the prosecution officer spoke like this, Mulan looked at him with an expressionless face. Having explained so much before, he could not refute this question forcefully and could only ignore it. But at this time, another voice sounded from the audience.

"I heard from those soldiers that Lieutenant Jonest has excellent marksmanship. I wonder if I can show it to you."

Mulan turned to look at the source of the sound. It was a tall man sitting on the front edge. He was wearing a straight black dress, a top hat, leather shoes, a white shirt, a black tie, white gloves, and a cane. His facial features were straight and his face was calm.

For such a person who stood out from the environment, Mulan seemed to have just discovered him. After he came to his senses, he responded.

"I'm on trial."

"Your Honor, I would like to see this second lieutenant's marksmanship to confirm the extent of his bravery."

The man made this request directly to the judge and continued speaking without waiting for a reply.

"Lieutenant Jonest, if you don't have a gun, you can borrow one on site."

Mulan was slightly shocked.

"You mean, shoot here?"

The man smiled.

"It seems that you have a gun with you. It should be in the leather bag of the nurse."

Mulan glanced at his bag subconsciously, and then suddenly realized why the court had become so quiet. He looked at the judge and other people, some looked at the gentleman, some were whispering, and some were sorting out information. , but the sounds seemed far away.

Mulan just didn't want to think too much. As soon as the man finished speaking, he suddenly reached into his pocket and raised it up to the sky the next moment. Three shining silver coins were thrown into the sky.

"shot!"

At the same time as the man's majestic voice came, Mulan's thoughts were spinning, and his intuition overcame his reason. Almost in an instant, he reached for the nurse's waist and pulled out the revolver from the bag like lightning.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

The gunfire compressed in the room was deafening, and mixed with the gunfire was the crisp collision sound of bullets and three silver coins.

The gunshot was so sudden that the judge huddled in front of the stage with his head in his hands. Many people were still huddled in their chairs. Many soldiers had just touched their guns. On the ground in front of the trial stage, a Some twisted coins are spinning and then slowly tipping over.

The sound of gunshots was still lingering. Mulan had already put the gun back in his bag. At least three military policemen around him pointed their guns nervously at him. The hall was still silent for the time being.

"Papa pa pa"

"I thought you hit one at most, good marksmanship!"

The man clapped and then looked forward.

"Your Honor, let the trial continue."

The man's words were an understatement, but the officer on trial actually brought a gun into the court and even opened fire in the court, which immediately caused a commotion.

"Your Honor, Lieutenant Jonster entered the court with a gun and fired in front of the court. He is in contempt of court!"

"What do military police do? Why don't they surrender their weapons and put the officers on trial?"

"Lieutenant Jonest, who gave you the right to shoot in court?"

The noisy questions made the serious court noisy. Mulan looked at the man, but the man just sat there and didn't care. The people around him seemed to ignore him. This made Mulan feel strange, but also made him I couldn't help but twitch my mouth, are you kidding me?

"Dong dong dong"

The judge slammed his gavel several times and used extremely harsh words.

"Second Lieutenant Jonest, you entered the court wearing a firearm and openly fired a gun in the court. This is a serious contempt for the military court. Please put on handcuffs and then enter the court hearing."

Play off

Mulan looked at the man again depressedly, knowing in his heart that this man must be very special, and hoped it was not a simple prank.

The commotion finally passed, and Mulan's wounds had been bandaged again by nurses and doctors. At this moment, he was sitting on a chair with handcuffs.

Of course, after those three stunning shots, no one in the hall would underestimate him now.

The restlessness in the court was like the restlessness in Mulan's heart. Mulan's personal purse was also temporarily confiscated. After a long wait,

"Dong dong."

The judge hit the anvil with a small wooden hammer and quickly silenced the court. There was a note on his desk, which should be the verdict after the discussion.

The old judge looked at the defendant in front of him seriously for a while. At least in his heart, he had respect for this heroic second lieutenant. However, reality is not black and white, nor is it horizontal or vertical.

After a moment of silence, the old judge began to read out the results.

"The Third Battalion of the Second Corps has an unshirkable responsibility for its defensive failure."

When hearing this, many officers in the courtroom stood up, and some people relaxed slightly. Mulan's heart tightened but he was not panicked. He was waiting for the judge's words later.

The judge glanced at the seriously injured second lieutenant who was sitting there. His face was still solemn and unmoved.

"However, after review of the Third Battalion, it was found that the Third Battalion did fight tenaciously. Due to the overall misjudgment of the battle situation at that time and the huge difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves, the guilt of the Third Battalion and its commander, Second Lieutenant Jonster, can be appropriately "mitigate"

With that said, the judge paused again and said the final result.

"This court pronounced in court that the 3rd Battalion was exempted from the honor of participating in this battle. The 3rd Battalion was demobilized and incorporated into other units. Jonest was relieved of the rank of second lieutenant and his military rank was reduced to a private soldier."

After the judge finished reading, Mulan remained motionless, and there was a lot of discussion in the court.

At this time, Mulan slowly stood up and covered the noise in the court with a slightly hoarse voice.

"Your Honor, I accept this trial and will not appeal. My military service has expired and my physical condition is not optimistic. I will use this opportunity to apply for retirement in court."

Applying for retirement is certainly against the rules in a court hearing, but the Dilga Military Court can order the defendant to retire. Now Mulan directly applies directly, and the military chiefs are all present. If the court accepts it, the process will be more efficient.

The court was quiet for a while but then became noisy. Some people were relaxed and some were in complicated moods. Mulan was also the one with a relatively relaxed mentality. The court would most likely agree to the application at this moment, and those "plaintiffs" would definitely Will give the green light.

Sure enough, the judge nodded after a moment of silence.

"Accept Lieutenant Jonster's application."

The military trial was over. Mulan held an envelope issued by the court in his hand and was carefully helped onto a stretcher. There was no need for him to suffer at this moment. His eyes glanced at the side of the auditorium. The gentleman in black stood up. , taking off his hat and saluting Mulan.

"Mr. Ensign, you can call me Sir Walton to salute you!"

The sound was far away, somewhat vague. When Mulan's stretcher was carried out of the court, the people in the court gradually dispersed.

The result of this military trial did not cause any big waves, and even it only occupied a small space in the local newspaper, but for Mulan, it was a big hurdle.

Although his application for retirement was quickly approved, after all, his injuries were serious and Mulan still needed to recuperate for a while before he could take a boat home. However, during this period, he also discovered another special thing about himself.

Twenty days after the trial, Mulan's injuries had recovered at a speed beyond the normal range to the point where he could move. Although he was still wrapped in gauze, he found that his injured left arm seemed to be stronger than his right arm, and his memory Mullan-Jonest does not appear to be a left-hander.

Every aspect of this world reveals a sense of familiarity. Sometimes Mulan can't help but wonder if it is a parallel time and space on Earth, but there are more differences than similarities.

Originally, the memory of his body was messy. Mulan hoped to live on and understand the world. If possible, he hoped to return to a home with internet and games.

The trial was held at the beginning of October, which in ancient times was called the Moon of Falling Gold or the Moon of Silence. At the end of the month, Mulan finally set off.

In the tent, Mulan packed up his personal belongings, a suitcase and the yellow leather bag. A boat ticket was placed on the bag with "Princess Nice Helier" written on it. The sailing time was one o'clock in the afternoon.

There was the sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels outside the tent, and then a voice came.

"Mu Lan, how are you cleaning up?"

"It's packed."

Mulan responded, and an officer came in from outside. It was the military police warrant officer. He was the person who visited Mulan the most times except for the soldiers of the third battalion. After the soldiers of the third battalion were incorporated into other units, he was the only one who came to see Mulan. The most diligent one.

Without saying a word, the warrant officer took the initiative to pick up Mulan's suitcase, and the latter followed him out with his own purse.

At this moment, Mulan is wearing a shirt, his left hand is still held up by gauze, and he is wearing a black coat and a black hat on his head. His slightly curly brown hair has been arranged, and his beard has been cleaned up, and his face is bright. He has very bright black eyes and a tall figure. Although he looks a little thin due to injuries, he is very handsome.

The carriage outside was the same as the one that took him to trial a month ago, but this time, Mulan felt much more relaxed. After saying goodbye to the doctors and nurses who came to see him off, he got into the carriage with the warrant officer.

Port Dia is a large deep-water port about an hour's horse-drawn carriage ride from this military camp.

As the carriages continued to approach Dia Port, the surrounding roads began to become busy, and there were more and more horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws. On the other side, a train with steam rising above its head could be seen loading goods.

Seeing the train, Mulan thought of the bustling and bustling area in the 21st century, but also couldn't help but think of the terrifying steam tanks on the battlefield.

"Mulan, we're here."

Mulan's eyes turned from the carriage window to the military police warrant officer sitting opposite him, and then looked at the window on the other side. The carriage was already near the port, and outside, a tall ship was docked at the deep-water dock. There were three huge ships on the hull. The chimney is steaming.

After opening the door, Mulan and the warrant officer got out of the carriage together and gave him a sincere smile.

"Thank you Brooke, and I'm sorry."

"You're welcome and there's no need to apologize. I believe you are a hero and I feel honored to be your friend!"

Mulan didn't say anything. He stepped forward to give him a hug and patted him on the shoulder. This young warrant officer had his own heroic dream, but Mulan didn't want him to truly see the cruelty of war. He himself didn't want him to see the cruelty of war. I don't want to see him a second time.

When Brooke wanted to help Mulan carry the suitcase, Mulan refused and took the lead in carrying the suitcase by himself.

"I'm not that weak anymore, don't worry Brooke, I will go home safely!"

The warrant officer smiled and gave a military salute. The physical fitness of this Mullan Jonst was really amazing.

"Then I wish you a smooth return trip and see you again when you have the chance!"

"goodbye!"

After the warrant officer's carriage left, Mulan picked up his suitcase and turned towards the boarding area.

There are not only cruise ships but also warships in the port. Some of these warships are covered with iron sheets, some are made of wood, but there are also steaming steel warships. The thick muzzles on them leave no doubt about their power.

After showing the ticket, Mulan successfully boarded the Nice Helier Princess. This is not a very luxurious cruise ship. The ship is huge and the ticket is affordable. It can accommodate a large number of passengers of all kinds and also has a cargo function.

Relatively speaking, Mulan's dress was relatively decent, so the crew members he met were more polite to him. He also had an independent guest room, which was small but private.

But Mulan did not rush to the cabin. Instead, after boarding the ship, he put the suitcase beside him and stood on the side of the deck looking at the port below and the ocean in the distance.

All kinds of people are walking through the busy dock, loading and unloading goods, boarding and disembarking,

"Du~~~~"

The loud ship's whistle sounded, and the Princess Ness Helier was about to leave.

Mulan lowered his head and looked at the leather bag beside him. The gun was quietly inside the bag, waiting for its owner to pull it out. The owner was also worried and looking forward to his new life.
