Chapter 2004: Having a full belly
“Ah, damn, I haven’t been this happy for a long time.”
Like many friends and friends, the playboy Igli Madden was also abandoned by his family. When he arrived in the expeditionary force, he was in charge of the artillery unit, which was relatively farther away from the battlefield, but it did not make him feel more comfortable.
After a glass of wine, he grabbed a piece of skewers filled with vegetables and meat and took two big bites, then complained:
“My daily rations are good, but I feel like a bird in my mouth, and I’m even more of a jerk. It’s been several months and I haven’t even touched a woman. Is this how people live?”
"You still have time to think about women, what about us?"
A young man who led an engineering unit immediately complained.
“Last time in Kata, the big-headed soldier and I rolled in the mud for more than a month without even washing our faces. Who was worse off?”
“Come on, we’re still fucking with you Krieger's gang of dead people stayed in the ditch for a week and I didn't say a word."
In the blink of an eye, most of the food on the table was consumed, and soon new ones were served. These young officers. They were all obviously starving, but Arni ate very reservedly.
Even in the most difficult times of logistics, a mysterious supply would be sent to his regiment and processed by his chef. Arni himself had never been troubled by food.
At this time, a waiter brought a dish. There was a pile of crispy fried pancakes on the plate. When others looked at it in confusion, Arni wiped his mouth with a napkin. Then he pointed at the dish and said with a smile:
“This is a seasonal dish that is very popular in Sagan recently. It happened that a chef came there some time ago and made it for everyone to try. It also has A very special name.”
“Oh?”
“It’s called Bombing Badab”
Seeing Arni making an exaggerated explosion gesture, everyone laughed together, and saw another waiter pouring a large bowl of hot and juicy meat soup on top, and the crispy dough immediately splashed when it met the hot soup. There was a crackling "bombing" sound.
However, Hayes' standing for so long was not in vain. While the attendants were cleaning up the scene, he sneaked into the kitchen. After fighting wits with the guys from the regiment for half an hour, he finally found an opportunity to use a The cloth bag containing vegetarian dishes stuffed the leftovers of the officers into the bag, taking as much as they could, and finally took a whole cloth bag and fled back to the company before anyone else noticed.
The company's camp is built on a low slope, and most of the space can be seen at a glance. It was originally a livestock shed, so it was protected by a circle of wooden piles on the outside. These wooden piles were arranged closely together, with to prevent the livestock inside from escaping, but now the livestock have been taken away by people from the logistics department, leaving only a group of big-headed soldiers staying inside.
As a military garrison, behind the wooden piles, several heavy machine guns were placed on the position at a certain distance.
On the periphery of the camp, the farmland has been cleared into an open isolation zone, so that anyone who tries to approach sneakily has nowhere to hide - but don’t get me wrong, this is not aimed at the enemy, in fact it is There won't be any enemies. This is to prevent soldiers from deserting. When Hayes was following the path through the camp, happily chewing on the paw of an unknown bird, a temporary wooden roadblock crossed the path, blocking the way to the camp, but as Hayes made a With a gesture, the barricade was removed from its original position and moved aside to allow him entry.
Everyone knew that Hayes was the "celebrity" of the group, so few were rude to him.
Hayes marched forward. When he passed by the machine gun platoon, these soldiers were yelling at each other because of their gambling. The words in their mouths would make people in the most primitive world of the Empire blush. .
Some people were gathered around a data board, which was the only data board in their entire company. It was playing a plump woman in a nun's uniform dancing around an iron pipe. Hayes I don’t understand what is there to see, but everyone loves to watch it, and even dozens of people are willing to crowd together to watch it, and make very obscene laughter.
However, Hayes knew that if the political commissar found out about this, it would be a disaster for them. Previously, people from other companies were discovered by the political commissar during their sleep check at night, secretly gathering together to watch this "immoral" and "Total depravity" video footage, and then those people received ten lashes each. "Hey, I'm back!"
Seeing Hayes, the fish-headed Gofiz stood up from the campfire with a smile, which made his fish-like face even more funny. Hasek was stirring the boiling cauldron, which contained some cement-like material. With a light gray sticky substance, the stick insect was crushing some weeds or weeds that it found from nowhere and throwing them into the pot. The big man Kabri was working hard to bake the loyalty cake in the leaky pan. Flip over, but because the proportion of corpse starch is too low, it can only be mixed with a lot of plants that they don't know where they come from, so the whole cake takes on a very abnormal black-green color.
But it is better than cakes mixed with soil. During the most difficult time in the previous month, they could only eat "mud cakes" made of corpse starch mixed with some kind of fine soil.
At least it is much better now, although the cake is not only strange in color, but also filled with a strange smell in the air, as if a wizard is burning herbs before performing witchcraft.
And their company commander, Ouranios, was leaning on the sandbag, crossing his legs and looking carefree, which was a little annoying.
But he was the chief after all, so it was impossible for Hayes to really get angry with him.
More importantly, although this guy is always eating and drinking everywhere, I have to say that his leadership is very unique. He likes to say some magical words like a fortune teller on the roadside, but he can always lead the company. Avoiding the most dangerous places, and he almost always stayed with the soldiers, eating and living together, and did not care at all about their status as cannon fodder.
Moreover, this guy has a very sharp nose. As soon as Hayes entered the shack where livestock slept, he immediately opened his eyes and jumped off the sandbag.
"What delicious food has our little Hayes brought back?"
Hayes wrinkled his nose, but still put his bag on the clean straw, and everyone smelled it immediately Those smells shouldn't belong here.
“It smells so good!”
"Is this... the legendary sausage!"
"Fuck! Don't grab it!"
Before everyone went crazy, their company commander had already taken it away and half of it was eaten The others tore the bag into strips of cloth in the blink of an eye. Hayes had known this would happen. He picked up a baked loyalty cake and then took out two cheese slices from his pocket.
Suddenly, a piece of meat was handed to him, and then a rib. Hayes raised his head and found that everyone was looking at him with a smile. Then everyone put the food together and had fun around the campfire. Hehe enjoyed the food and even attracted other people in the company to come over, but they were all chased away by their company commander.
“Go and go, everyone points to getting something for nothing. Diligence is the virtue taught to us by the emperor’s grandfather, don’t you know? If you don’t know, ask the priest.”
When the company commander said this, Hayes couldn't help but despise this guy who was always gray-faced, nagging, and confused. He was the one in the company who liked to get something for nothing!
However, he despises him in his heart, but on the other hand, Hayes admires him very much.
