September 1st is the theoretical spring season, but the Oriental Port is still shrouded in the bitter cold wind. Leonid Feodorovic slowly walked out of the national cemetery, and many of his comrades, 58 Cossacks from Zaporoz, were buried here. With these Cossacks, there were 79 soldiers from various countries, including three travelers, who fought for this country in previous wars to the last moment.

The wind was a little windy outside. Leonid held the seal-skin hat on his head and was about to step forward, but suddenly stopped because he found someone waiting for him at the cemetery door.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Ukrainian." Navy Lieutenant John Ston, wearing a dark wool coat and a beaver-haired top hat, stood by a small pine tree waiting for Leonid.

Leonid recognized this British man. When St. Christopher's company came to attack Oriental Harbor, it seemed that the British was the captain of one of the ships. Leonid brought people to capture him at that time. Leonid had no interest in knowing this defeated man, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop! Ukrainians! I think there are some things between us that need to be resolved." John Ston raised his voice, and he took his right hand out of his coat pocket, his right hand wearing gloves and a purse in his hand.

"You'd better make me angry, British." Leonid said threateningly as he looked at John Ston with a dangerous look.

John Ston walked to Leonid directly, looked face to face at the tall Cossack's unruly eyes, and said slowly: "This is 100 yuan, almost all of my property. As long as you hand me one thing, the money will belong to you. That thing is very important to me."

Leonid vaguely guessed what John Ston wanted, but this made him even more angry. "Get out! British man! You have successfully made me angry. You better leave quickly, or I will beat you up even if I am arrested and arrested by the picket! I will say again, I don't have what you want."

"It was a ruby ​​necklace produced by the London Gold Jewelry Merchants Guild." John Ston stared at Leonid's fierce eyes without any retreat and said, "You snatch this property from me on the battlefield, and you dedicate it to a noble Chinese lady, but as far as I know, the lady did not accept your gift. Return it to me, young man, this is the wedding anniversary gift given to me by my wife Catherine, which is very important to me. Give it to me, and then you take this bag of money, we don't owe each other, it's that simple!"

Leonid's face suddenly turned red, and he took his hands out of his pockets of military uniforms and trousers, and grabbed the one in front of him, which made him feel very annoyed by the middle-aged Englishman.

Captain John Ston turned sideways, then grabbed it with his backhand, and then twisted Leonid's hand and pressed him down. "Hey, Ukrainian big man, don't try to fight me. I've been a captain for six years and have dealt with countless unruly sailors or crew members. No one has ever caused me trouble. Now, promise me to return the things to me, and I'll let you go, how about it? Maybe you're very good right away, but you're not my opponent now."

"Ao..." Leonid roared, and struggled hard with his left hand and broke free from John Ston's control. Then he swung his right fist with red eyes and hit John Ston.

Two muffled sounds, both sides fled almost at the same time. Leonid and John Ston hugged each other and wrestled together.

"Shh! Shh!" Two sharp copper whistles sounded, and several policemen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wearing black police uniforms rushed over with short wooden sticks. After seeing the situation, the two still punched each other for the last punch, and then stopped with the loud scolding of the police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The two were taken back to the headquarters of the limestone mine by the Ministry of Internal Affairs police. The police officer on duty made a simple record of them. When they learned that they were second lieutenants, they couldn't help but look at them with a strange look. John Ston was a little embarrassed, but Leonid did not take it seriously, but glared at the little policeman fiercely.

The little Charoa policeman ignored the two officers who had been openly fighting. He turned around and handed the transcript to his superiors, and then left. Before leaving, he walked to Leonid and whispered in a voice that only two could hear: "Hey, you Ukrainian idiot, if you have time, you can come to me to compete with me. I will definitely beat you up all over the floor. My name is Aivani, and everyone in the police station knows me, don't dare to come over, idiot."

Leonid was furious, but suddenly he thought that this was the police station, so he suppressed his anger. He simply turned around and ignored the boy, but unexpectedly he encountered the mocking look of John Ston sitting by the wall.

...

Xu Yu, who was on vacation, hurriedly changed into his military uniform and rushed to the headquarters of the police station in the mine outside the city. He knew the whole story, cursed Leonid, an idiot who was ignorant, while having to comfort his new girlfriend - Wu Xiaoli, a female high school student born in the 1990s who worked in the Ministry of Agriculture. Xu Yu is average-looking and only 1.68 meters tall. Before crossing, he was just a small nightclub security guard. He could say that he had nothing to do, but his only advantage might be that he could ride a horse. Originally, he was also a ** silk-like existence among the time travelers. Not to mention getting married, it would be difficult to find a girlfriend. He had given up and was going to spend money to buy a European Ocean Horse.

But I didn't expect that this time, this guy shined in the war. He was extremely brave in the battle, led the team to charge three times, suffered two injuries, and killed a Spanish cavalry. After the war, he was awarded the Army Department. Not only did he remove the word "former agent in the acting battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, but his military rank was also promoted to captain. He was glorious and had a bright future, attracting the attention of many people. At this time, there were naturally no obstacles to finding a girlfriend.

Xu Yu quickly rushed to the police station. When he entered the door, he saw that the old acquaintance Navy Captain Lu Ming was also there. Lu Ming was the captain of the "East Coast Eagle". He had just returned to China with Yunsheng No. 1 a few days ago. After meeting, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then began to sign the transcript and prepare to take the people.

"Old Xu, I heard that your army system will be changed again this time?" While waiting for the arrival of the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the two simply started chatting.

"I just heard some rumors. According to the most popular saying now, there are currently six infantry posts, two field artillery posts to cut off half and form a mixed battalion. In addition, the cavalry battalion must be appropriately streamlined, and I estimate it will be reduced to two posts." Xu Yu said, "Now the infantry battalion has been preliminarily organized into three infantry posts, 246 infantry posts, 51 artillery posts, 16 engineer platoons, 4 drummers, 2 flag bearers, 2 military doctors, 1 veterinarians, 2 gun repairmen, 1 messenger, battalion commander, 1 battalion deputy, and 1 training officer, and 328 battalions; the cavalry retained two posts, and the entire battalion was 72; the total army's total strength was above 400 people, which was cut off nearly half compared to now. The executive committee was really ruthless."

"Haha. Isn't it all that?" Lu Ming said with a smile, "Who makes us short of people now? We are about to go to the north to explore and develop minerals, and we need people everywhere. In a word, the population is still small. It's hard for your army, and our navy is not easy. More than 300 turret gunners were cut to 120. Yunsheng No. 1 has now retired. The navy only retains three warships, and the organization has been blocked. The total crew is only 256. After this calculation, the entire navy is organized to 376 people, which is half a pound of your army."

"I'm really short of people now." The two sighed together.

Just as the two were sighing, Jiao Tang, the Internal Affairs Commissioner, walked out of the inside office, smiled after seeing the two, and said, "Okay, you can't go there again, come and sign this document."

"What document?" Lu Ming asked casually while picking up the document: "Hey, the transfer order? Coal working group? This name is obtained, the soil is so slag. Go to dig coal in the north? Why are you transferring me to do?"

"Not only you, Lao Xu, too." Jiao Tang explained, "This time we are going to the Patus Lake Basin to develop coal mines. You all know the importance of coal mines to our country. It is said that some coals there are basically buried in the open air, and they can be mined with a little digging, and even some Indians can pick up some coal from the mountains to burn fire. This time, the Executive Committee made a great determination. In the case of extreme shortage of personnel and materials, it is ready to draw a group of elite soldiers from various departments and units to develop. The coal working group has been officially established today, and this time, the material committee member Shao Shude personally served as the team leader. The team members come from various systems of industry, agriculture, construction, army, and police. Now, the first
