Blackhot City was now the territory of the Norman Empire, and Zhang Tie was already a citizen of the Norman Empire. Additionally, he was already 15 years old. According to the laws and traditions of the Norman Empire, Colonel Leibniz had the right to enlist him into the army. Additionally, across the Norman Empire, once a person cultivated Iron-Blood hidden strength, he would at least be a second lieutenant. Therefore, Zhang Tie, the first recruit recruited by No. 39 Division in Blackhot City, had become the youngest second lieutenant in the entire No. 39 Division.
This event became a hot topic among the military officers of No. 39 Division during lunch. The fact that Zhang Tie had saved a soldier of the Norman Empire had already been known by everyone. Based on this event, many people had a good impression of Zhang Tie.
Additionally, those who knew Colonel Leibniz's temperament and personality had guessed that Zhang Tie had already become the most interesting "toy" of Colonel Leibniz. This "toy" could bring Colonel Leibniz some interesting short stories and topics, which would make Colonel Leibniz an interesting and interesting person in the eyes of those lonely noblewomen in the cocktail parties and salons of Nordinburg. Perhaps, Zhang Tie could bring Colonel Leibniz some interesting nights. That was all.
After going through some formalities in the Headquarters, Second Lieutenant Vessie, the adviser of Colonel Leibniz, drove a car to the gate of the Headquarters and let Zhang Tie sit in it.
"Where are we going now?" Zhang Tie asked.
"To the Logistics Department first. After that, I will take you to the Iron-Blood Camp to report... "adviser Vessie answered.
Thus, Zhang Tie sat in the open military SUV once again. The SUV then drove out of the Headquarters of No. 39 Division.
The moment he exited the gate of the headquarters, Zhang Tie had caught sight of some familiar faces at the gate.
"Stop!" Zhang Tie hurriedly shouted.
With a sound of "Zhi...", adviser Vessie stepped on the brake.
"I'm sorry, I just saw some friends and my elder brother. They might be worried about me, so they are still waiting outside the Headquarters. I will go greet them and then come back!" During this period of time, Zhang Tie had already known that Salvey, whom he had saved, was a soldier of the Norman Empire and a scout. After knowing that Zhang Tie had been captured, Salvey had been running around for him.
Saying this, Zhang Tie had already run over. At this moment, Salvey, Zhang Yang and the others were squatting under a tree on a flower terrace beside the gate of the Headquarters. They seemed to be waiting for Zhang Tie to be released. In a place like the headquarters. Of course, it was not a place where a few soldiers and commoners could enter as they pleased. Even though they knew that Zhang Tie was inside, they could only wait outside. As for them, they only needed to know that Zhang Tie was fine.
They were chatting under the tree. It seemed that they had not imagined that Zhang Tie would suddenly come here.
"Elder brother …" Zhang Tie ran over and shouted.
Zhang Yang turned around and found Zhang Tie running towards him. Therefore, Zhang Yang hurriedly sprung up as he pulled Zhang Tie's hand with an excited and concerned look, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. What could happen to me? "Zhang Tie smiled as he patted his elder brother's hand to comfort him.
At this moment, Zhang Yang's heart finally calmed down. At this moment, Salvey was limping towards them, followed by Miller, Harley and two other guys whom he had met before.
After letting go of his elder brother's hand, Zhang Tie rushed up and gave Salvey a hug. After that, Zhang Tie punched Salvey's chest. "I was cheated by you."
Salvey smirked. "If I had worn this uniform, would you still have saved me?"
"Of course, I would have saved you. After knocking you out and sending you to the Wild Wolf Castle, I would have made a great contribution... "Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he greeted Miller, Harley, and the other guys whom he had met before. At the beginning, Zhang Tie had already felt that these guys were weird. He had not imagined that they were scouts of the Norman Empire who were here to pave the way for the army.
In only one month, Blackhot City had been turned upside down. Everybody had become citizens of the Norman Empire. Therefore, the previous grudges between them no longer existed, not to mention that Zhang Tie and Salvey had been through life and death together.
Seeing Zhang Tie being so cheerful, the surrounding people all burst out into laughter. They all felt that their efforts in the morning had not been in vain.
"Let's go home first. Dad and mom must be very happy to know that you're fine..." Zhang Tie's elder brother said excitedly. "Let's go back together. I will go buy two bottles of good liquor. Let's drink to our heart's content tonight!"
"Elder brother, you guys go back first. Tell dad and mom that I'm fine. Don't let them worry about me. I might go back a bit later!"
"What? Anything else?" Zhang Yang became stunned.
"You will know when I come back..."
Adviser Vessie had already pressed the horn twice, so Zhang Tie didn't say anything else. After bidding farewell to the others, he ran over and jumped onto the SUV, which then sped away.
Seeing his younger brother being caught by the Norman Empire yesterday, and today sitting in the military vehicle of the Norman Empire, Zhang Yang felt like he didn't know Zhang Tie at all. He stood still for quite a while...
"Your younger brother is going to have good luck!" Miller smirked...
...
Zhang Tie was indeed going to have good luck.
Adviser Vessie drove Zhang Tie to the logistics base of No. 39 Division. This base used to be a camp of the City Defense Army of Blackhot City, but now it had been requisitioned.
This logistics base was filled with people in the military uniforms of the Norman Empire. Compared to the headquarters, there were more people here and it was noisier. The open space of the camp was covered with dark green boxes marked with the symbol of the Iron-Horn Army. The boxes were piled up into mountains according to different sizes. Many materials were covered with tarpaulins.
Adviser Vessie directly led Zhang Tie to an office with a plate of Equipment Administration. He handed something from his briefcase to a military officer wearing glasses. At the sight of it, the military officer immediately stood up from behind the desk.
"Follow me, please..."
After that, the military officer led Zhang Tie and adviser Vessie to a warehouse on the other side of the camp. The materials and boxes in the warehouse were also piled up like mountains.
"Calvin..." the military officer called out. At the same time, a short, fat guy with an oily face ran out from behind a pile of boxes.
The military officer pointed at Zhang Tie. "Second Lieutenant of the Iron-Blood Camp. He was ordered by Colonel Leibniz himself. Give him a set of equipment..."
The short, fat guy with an oily face only glanced at Zhang Tie. Slightly amazed, he then reported a series of numbers, "178cm tall, 71-73kg weight, well-proportioned body shape. Head circumference is a bit bigger, 61. Shoe size is 40. Wait a second... "
Zhang Tie was dumbfounded. "What kind of eyes are these? Only by glancing at a person, they could tell all the data. That's too awesome!"
Two minutes later, the guy called Calvin came back with two heavy military backpacks and a few boxes. He placed these things on a table. After putting them on a table, Calvin disappeared for another two minutes. After that, he brought back several boxes and boxes of different sizes and started to introduce them to Zhang Tie.
"Now, we can only get summer clothes, regular clothes, and training clothes for you. Together with leather belts and gloves, there will be three sets of each. Other socks, underwear, and shirts, there will be five sets of each. Second Lieutenant has a pair of boots, a pair of leather boots, and three pairs of high-top training shoes. All the other daily necessities are standard. Here's a list. This year's winter clothes will be distributed in October. Second Lieutenant's ceremonial dress is currently out of stock, so you have to wait for a few days. Once it's in stock, it will be distributed together with the next month's daily necessities. This pack contains the second lieutenant's epaulette, collar flower, cap badge, and the name tag of the Iron-Blood Camp. This box contains the newly equipped lieutenant-level Vanguard Type B light defensive armor... "Calvin reported the items in the backpacks and boxes like a menu.
'Is this the configuration of the Norman Empire's lieutenant-level? 'Zhang Tie became dumbfounded. He finally understood why it was so expensive to raise an army. How much would it cost to buy all these items? Additionally, Zhang Tie found that the treatment of second lieutenant of the Norman Empire was much better than that of second lieutenant of the City Guard Army of Blackhot City in terms of daily necessities. There were more than three sets of regular clothes, ceremonial dress, and training clothes. Additionally, there were even boots. It could be seen that the status of soldiers in the Norman Empire was very high, which could not be matched by the soldiers of the Andaman Alliance. Compared to the soldiers of the Norman Empire, the soldiers of the Andaman Alliance were more like a group of bodyguards and housekeepers of rich people.
"After a while, we will arrive at the Iron-Blood Camp. You can try changing into a set of regular clothes..." adviser Vessie suggested.
"Right here?"
"Right here!"
"Can I take a bath now? You know, I just came out of the prison yesterday. That place was not clean at all!" Zhang Tie smirked bashfully.
Captain Vessie didn't say anything, instead, he just glanced at the officer of the Logistics Department with an inquiring look.
"Calvin, take him to take a bath..."
The guy called Calvin then took Zhang Tie to the bathhouse of the camp. Zhang Tie then took a bath in the bathhouse. Zhang Tie's previous clothes had been worn during the survival training for three days. Additionally, he had spent the night in the "club" on the third floor of the Dark Prison. Besides being dirty, his clothes were also covered with fleas. Not only did they feel uncomfortable, but they also carried the bad luck of the Dark Prison. Zhang Tie didn't want to bring them back home.
Therefore, Zhang Tie directly threw all his clothes from head to toe, including his socks with two holes and the pair of worn-out shoes, into the garbage bin of the bathhouse, leaving nothing behind. After that, he put on a 100% brand-new outfit of the Norman Empire, including socks, underpants, vests, shirts, casual clothes, and boots. Everything was new.
