Chapter 543 Rebellion 11 Area 51
“You said Chief of Staff Schroeder is not at home? What about other places? Have you looked for him?”
A feeling of panic rushed through him. Burgan's forehead.
The officer who reported to him spread his hands helplessly.
Burgan crossed his arms and continued to pace on the floor, but his steps were no longer as steady as before.
calm! Calm down! Burgan, you can think of a solution.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his brain.
Wait a minute, it seems that it would be more beneficial to me if Chief of Staff Schroeder is not in Lake Town. In any case, Schroeder is second only to Paul Graiman in the Arda army. If he does not cooperate with his actions here, no matter what solution he takes, it will cause certain trouble.
And it would be much better if he was not here.
And...
Thinking of this, he immediately took action, "Follow me!"
Burgan waved to the officer who came to report to him.
The two walked out of the office, and two subordinates who were guarding outside followed them. They quickly passed through the wide corridors of the staff building and then followed the stairs to the third floor.
The entire building was already under Bulgan's control, so they had an unimpeded journey.
He stopped in front of a door.
"Break open this door!"
Burgan gave the order, and the two men following him turned sideways and bumped into it with their shoulders.
After several consecutive banging sounds, the door to the room was knocked open and several people walked in immediately.
“This is the office of Chief of Staff Schroeder!”
Different from the panic he showed just now, Burgan was almost ecstatic now, and he discovered it immediately with his good eyesight. What you are looking for.
A round seal sits quietly in the ink pad box on the desk.
He walked over in a few steps, came to the desk, picked up the seal and looked at it carefully.
“You can’t be wrong, this is the official seal of the General Staff. With it, our various actions in the future will be much more convenient.”
……
Arda Army Chief of Staff Erwin Schroeder and two of his guards rode wildly all the way. Fortunately, they left before the militiamen blocked the town of Huxin, and then continued their strategy toward the southeast of Huxin Town. The horse traveled for more than three hours and did not stop until it encountered a forest.
Schroeder and his guards stopped and allowed the panting mount to rest for a few minutes.
The old knight took out a pistol with a thick and short barrel from his waist, then raised it to the sky and pulled the trigger. This pistol did not make a loud sound like an ordinary musket, but a muffled sound, and then a ball of light emerged from the muzzle, and with a whoosh, the ball of light shot straight up into the night sky. Rising into the air, the ball of light suddenly exploded when it hit the ground. Countless bright spots scattered around, like a flower that bloomed in an instant.
Schroeder put away his pistol and stared quietly at the dark forest ahead, with only the hiss of his mount breathing in the air.
In just a few minutes, a few lights suddenly appeared deep in the dark forest.
Soon, the light spots became clearer and clearer, and finally it could be seen that they were several lanterns getting closer and closer.
"Who is it?"
A few knights sprang out from the dense forest. Under the light of the lantern, it could be seen that they were all wearing the uniforms of the Arda army.
Schroeder replied: "It's me, Owen Schroeder."
"It turns out to be Mr. Schroeder, are you going to enter District 51?"
When the leader said the second half of the sentence, there was some uneasiness in his tone. After all, he came to this place in the middle of the night, and the dignified chief of staff came in person. It was obvious that something very urgent and important had happened.
"I want to see Herman and Claude immediately. I have very urgent matters to discuss with them."
As expected, several soldiers who came to greet Schroeder thought in their hearts Shocked, something big might have happened in Huxin Town.
"I understand, Master Schroeder, please follow us closely with your guards. You will see them both in half an hour."
District 51 , originally to fight against pirates, Paul picked out a secret place in the forest near Lake Town, where he trained new recruits and formed the first three infantry battalions. Later, as the size of the army expanded, it was no longer used for the training of new recruits, but instead was used for the research and development and manufacturing of weapons and equipment. Of course, the weapons and equipment here refer to the unique gunpowder weapons of the Arda army. From then on This area was officially named District 51 by Paul.
Gunpowder weapons are the most secret things in the Arda army. Paul feels that it is better to keep these things firmly in his own hands until he can gain enough security, so the production of gunpowder and gunpowder weapons is It was carried out in the extremely secret place of District 51. The people who knew about District 51 were limited to a few senior officials from the Government Affairs Council and the army. Those veterans and junior officers who had been trained here thought that this training camp had been abandoned long ago.
Since Area 51 is a secret base, it is of course very tightly protected. There are traps everywhere in the woodland connecting Area 51 and the outside area, and every once in a while There will be changes, which is why Schroeder needs to wait outside the forest for people inside to come out to greet him. Even he doesn't know how to take the latest safe route.
Of course, Schroeder did not run to District 51 just for refuge.
Few people know that in addition to the eight battalions on the surface, the Alda Army actually has a ninth battalion. This ninth infantry battalion exists specifically to guard District 51. Even when Paul was downsizing the army to save money, this infantry battalion remained intact for confidentiality reasons - Paul didn't want demobilized soldiers to leak even a little bit of information about Area 51.
The purpose of Schroeder coming to District 51 was to use this infantry battalion to deal with the rebels in Huxin Town.
As for keeping secrets... My house has been stolen, so obviously counterinsurgency is a higher priority.
Schroeder and his two guards followed the soldiers who led them around in the forest. After about half an hour, the scene ahead suddenly became clear. Under the bright moonlight, a group of buildings the size of a small town appeared in front of them.
District 51 is not only a production base for weapons and equipment, but also has a living function. All people working here, whether they are engineers responsible for research and development, workers responsible for production, or responsible for Management and logistics administrators, as well as the officers and soldiers stationed here, and their families were all brought into this secret area - also for the sake of confidentiality.
In order to accommodate these people, in addition to military factories, District 51 also has shops, farms, and a series of production units such as factories and workshops that produce various livelihood products. There are even schools and theaters.
As for whether the people inside have any need to communicate with the outside world... Come on, most people in this era have never left the village where they were born.
In short, this is a small town located deep in the forest with a certain degree of self-circulation ability, just like the legendary cities in the United States and the Soviet Union that could not be found on the map during the Cold War.
