Military barracks on the outskirts of Moro, Tana island.
Two battalions of the national defense force are stationed here.
Tonight, the barracks did not seem much different from usual. The soldiers were in the barracks and had already fallen asleep.
However, it was an unusual night for officers.
All officers at and above the company level were notified at 12:00. As the succession ceremony was approaching, Colonel Marcus, the commander in charge of military defense in the capital Moro, sent an instruction to the officers to immediately return to the camp for a meeting to study the deployment work in two days.
Comolo has not had a war in this country for many years. Coupled with the simplicity of the people in the whole islands, the army has long lost a lot of vigorous spirit in the peaceful peace.
Even after receiving the order, at one o'clock, the officers arrived at the barracks one after another.
Due to the recent internal personnel transfer, Colonel Marcus was appointed as the battalion commander of the first battalion and temporarily as the battalion commander of the second battalion.
The appointment of such wonderful people has naturally aroused some behind the scenes discussions among officers.
But everyone seemed to smell something unusual.
That is, in the past, the two battalions around the capital city of Moro were controlled by former defense minister Lausanne's confidant lock. After Prince Gary's inheritance was deposed, Lausanne was also removed from the important post of deputy commander-in-chief of the national defense force. As an uncle, Lausanne was also removed from the post of defense minister, changed to an idle post and remained idle.
It is said through the grapevine that the reason why the old king Enoch IX did so was that he was afraid that Prince Gary would be angry and would be unfavorable to the new king Hassan after his death, so he started to put Gary on the air first.
Of course, many people also know that it is not easy to talk about Gary and Lausanne?
Not to mention anything else, Prince Lausanne's family has great influence in comolo, just below one person and above ten thousand people. In that year, eno IX was in power, and the Lausanne family also made great contributions. It is precisely because of this that Lausanne can be awarded the title of Prince.
The position of secretary of defense has always been controlled by the Lausanne family and has never been neglected.
The energy and contacts he has accumulated in the military for many years, as well as those old friends who have been promoted, can he be elevated by abolishing his post as secretary of defense?
Of course, not everyone in the army obeyed Lausanne's command.
For example, a group of new non aristocratic young officers led by Marcus have always despised Lausanne's acts of promoting only his own people and suppressing officers in his own circle.
Although Marcus is a serious child in the Comoro military, he has been trained by the military academy and once studied at the saint sear Military Academy in France. He is a rare Coban born in the Comoro military.
However, because he did not fit in with Prince Lausanne and others, he was still excluded from the power core of the army. Before Prince Hassan did not use Marcus, he was just a major and was assigned to the warehouse to manage logistics, which was not much different from a warehouse keeper.
After deposing Prince Gary's successor, Enoch IX promoted Prince Hassan to the position of deputy commander in chief of national defense and Minister of national defense, and Hassan also began to promote people belonging to his own circle.
This includes the depressed Lieutenant Colonel Marcus, who was directly promoted to colonel and in charge of the soldiers of the two battalions. He was also transferred to Moro city to be responsible for the security of the capital.
In addition to the Royal Guard, a soldier who closely protects members of the royal family, Marcus's position is equivalent to the royal guards.
Several officers walked into the conference room bleary eyed, yawning and rubbing their eyes.
Marcus sat behind the chair in the front of the conference room and watched his subordinates as if they were depressed as if they had smoked a lot of smoke. He couldn't help sighing in his heart.
For a soldier who has studied at a European military academy, Marcus has long been very dissatisfied with the current situation of the national defense force.
Corruption, low combat effectiveness and other phenomena breed. Marcus blames Lausanne for all these reasons.
He is ambitious to carry out reform in the army, at least using what he learned in Europe to rectify the whole comolo army.
Marcus, who was originally on the bench in the army, was already frustrated and almost didn't submit his retirement application. It was Hassan's position that gave him hope. He saw the dawn of reform in this new crown prince.
He firmly believed that as long as Hassan came to power, his dream could be achieved.
"Cheer up! It's going to be a meeting!" he hit the table with his fist.
The briefing room finally quieted down.
Nearly 20 company level officers and battalion level Deputy officers returned to their desks and sat down according to their ranks and positions.
"Where's MOSAR?" Marcus scanned the room and found that there was a man missing.
MOSAR, this is Prince Lausanne's confidant, the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion.
Marcus doesn't like this man very much. He has long wanted to transfer him. He just took office and the army has just been transferred to Moro city. If he makes a drastic adjustment, I'm afraid it will cause some unnecessary suspicion.
Prince Hassan and himself have a consensus. The exchange of blood must be low-key and show no trace.
Everyone craned their necks and looked around.
"It seems that he hasn't arrived yet." someone spoke for MOSAR. "He lives far away. Maybe it will take some time on the road."
"The notice was issued at 12 o'clock. Now it's 1:10, an hour and ten minutes. If you don't know, you think our territory of comolo is bigger than France."
There was a low chuckle in the briefing room.
It used to be a colony of France. Up to now, a nearby island originally owned by comolo is still under the control of France. Locals like to quote France as a joke.
"Well, since he's late, we won't wait for him." Marcus thought that MOSAR is Lausanne's confidant anyway. Maybe it's better for him not to come tonight. Let him go.
"Before the meeting, please hand in your mobile phone and all contact tools. I'll take care of them for the time being. After the work is completed, you can take them back."
Then he waved to the door.
Two armed soldiers appeared in the briefing room, one with a plastic basket in his hand.
"Please put all the communication tools and mobile phones in."
Everyone was surprised by this situation.
At the same time, keen people have noticed that tonight is definitely not as simple as arranging the security work of the succession ceremony.
Of course, although lazy, these people still know that they are soldiers, and obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers. Moreover, Marcus is a strict guy. The two soldiers with guns have obviously been arranged long ago. Who knows how many such soldiers are outside the door?
The first person put his cell phone in the basket.
Although many are Lausanne's confidants, under the herd effect, everyone still took out their mobile phones and put them in the basket.
Marcus was delighted.
He was also worried when he received the task tonight.
After all, among the officers of the two battalions, Lausanne's old headquarters are still relatively large. Now let them hand over their mobile phones, and then let people control all of Lausanne's confidants. The other neutrals and officers of their own faction must obey.
When the time comes to imprison all the people in Lausanne, he can take the rest of the officers and launch an emergency rally to mobilize the army to Marlowe island to round up Gary.
Once Gary is arrested, the overall situation is basically settled. It will be easy to clean up Lausanne at that time.
"Why don't you wait for me at the meeting?"
Outside the door, suddenly came MOSAR's voice.
A chubby, dark skinned officer appeared at the door. His small snake like eyes narrowed and stared at Colonel Marcus on the stage.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
