When Major Franca framed him, it was because of the deep-seated contradiction between the North Border Military Region of the Empire and the Order Review Committee of the Empire. The secret police wanted him, while the military wanted Major Franca. The two parties didn't give in to each other. When the contradiction broke out, Zhang Tie and Major Franca became the pawns in the fight between the two giants. As a result, nobody cared about the truth behind the conflict between Zhang Tie and Major Franca.
However, later on, as Huaiyuan Palace appeared on Zhang Tie's back, the secret police gave up. Now, although the order for arrest of Zhang Tie had not been revoked due to the reason of saving face and procedures, as long as Zhang Tie didn't run to the gate of the headquarters of the secret police and shout, "I'm Zhang Tie, come and catch me," he would be transparent in the eyes of the secret police of the empire.
As for the North Border Military Region of the Empire, it was not a problem at all. If the Iron-Horn Army admitted that Zhang Tie had a problem, it would mean that the North Border Military Region of the Empire was slapping its own face and admitting that it was in a disadvantageous position in the competition with the Order Committee. On this issue that was related to the face of the entire military, it was impossible for them to give in.
Therefore, Zhang Tie only needed to be low-key. He just needed to keep a low profile. There was no need to hide his face and hide his identity, because no one would come to find trouble with him at this time.
At the sight of Zhang Tie's Military Officer Certificate, the soldier's face turned solemn. He hurriedly took it by two hands and started to flip it over. After glancing at it for a short while, the soldier swallowed his saliva forcefully. On the Military Officer Certificate, Zhang Tie's service experience and awards were recorded — —
Second lieutenant of the Iron-Blood Camp of No. 39 Division...
Winner of the Norman Empire's Iron-Blood Medal...
Later on, he was promoted to first lieutenant. At the same time, he was transferred to the No. 9 Equipment Section of the Comprehensive Logistics Support Office of the Logistics Department of the Iron-Horn Army due to severe wounds.
He had made outstanding military exploits in the Kalur Theater of Operations. Finally, he retired to the second line due to wounds.
For the soldiers, Zhang Tie's military officer certificate was too important; however, Zhang Tie's age seemed to be a bit suspicious. Ever since he joined the army, he hadn't had the chance to touch his military officer ID twice, so he couldn't tell if this military officer ID was real or fake. In the end, he could only look at a second lieutenant officer at the side of the sentry post with a pleading gaze and secretly made a hand gesture.
The Second Lieutenant also noticed the situation here and walked over with two soldiers. After the second lieutenant came over. That soldier immediately gave Zhang Tie's military officer certificate to that second lieutenant.
The second lieutenant took it and checked it carefully. Only after a few seconds, he had confirmed the authenticity of the certificate. After that, he stood at attention outside the door and gave a military salute towards Zhang Tie.
"Welcome back, sir. Do you want to go back to Blapei? Do you need our vehicle to escort you back?" the second lieutenant said. At the same time, he passed Zhang Tie's military officer certificate into the carriage through the window respectfully. In the army of the Norman Empire, Anyone who had won an Iron-Blood Medal on the battlefield would enjoy some special treatment wherever he went. Zhang Tie's identity as a first lieutenant was not enough to make the second lieutenant so respectful; however, with an Iron-Blood Medal, it would be different.
"No need, I can just take a taxi back!"
"Alright, then I wish you a pleasant journey!"
Seeing the military officer saluting Zhang Tie, the other soldiers hurriedly lifted the pole of the sentry post to let Zhang Tie pass.
...
The second lieutenant officer on duty at the sentry post had just graduated from the North Border Military Command Academy of the Norman Empire at the beginning of this year. After that, he was assigned to the Iron-Horn Army. When he arrived here, the war between the Iron-Horn Army and the Brilliant Feathers Army had just ended. Therefore, he didn't know Zhang Tie. Seeing the taxi disappearing in the distance, the second lieutenant officer frowned slightly.
Zhang Tie felt that he had heard someone mention this name before. However, he couldn't remember it. He was such a young first lieutenant who had won the Iron-Blood Medal. There were not too many people like him even in the entire Heavenly Iron Horn Corps. How could he not remember it?
The young second lieutenant officer felt a bit restless. Twenty minutes after Zhang Tie left, the second lieutenant officer accidentally caught sight of the wanted posters on the sentry post. His body quivered as he instantly remembered that he had heard this name before.
The most famous young military officer of the Iron-Horn Army who was said to have killed dozens of secret policemen who had come to Blapei to find trouble with the Iron-Horn Army and caused a great disturbance?
'He's back? '
The second lieutenant forcefully patted his head. Without saying anything, he casually left some words to his deputy before running to a heated car beside the sentry post. He then drove the car towards Blapei.
...
Although the temperature in the car was not high, the taxi driver couldn't help but drip cold sweat down his forehead. After knowing Zhang Tie's identity, the taxi driver carefully recalled what he had said to Zhang Tie. When he remembered that he had also said that the Norman Empire was a bastard and that he had called the Norman Empire's army "red-skin dogs" and "Japanese soldiers" for more than one time, the taxi driver's face turned green.
'This is bad. 'Thinking of the legendary ferocity of the Norman Empire's army, the Blapei had completely become a hell for the taxi driver.
The atmosphere in the car became gloomy once again. Seeing that the taxi driver was so scared and kept his mouth shut, Zhang Tie didn't say anything. Instead, he leaned against the back seat and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Because of the heavy snow, the speed of the car was a bit slow. Although some roads had been cleared, the traffic capacity was greatly affected. It took the taxi driver more than two hours to arrive at the more than 100 km distance from Kalur to Blapei. When they arrived at Blapei, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. The sky was already dark.
The taxi parked on a street in Blapei. Before Zhang Tie opened the door, the taxi driver in the front hurriedly got off the car and opened the door for Zhang Tie from outside.
"Sir, it's my... my honor to serve you... this trip is free. I will... return the money to you!"
Don't worry, it's 15 silver coins. Take the rest as your tip. It's too late, your family members are waiting for you. The beer and sausages in Blapei are not bad, you can buy some back. Drive slowly on the way back. Bye... "Seeing the taxi driver stuttering out that gold coin, Zhang Tie smiled," I don't have good hearing, so I couldn't hear clearly what you said in the car. Don't worry, it's 15 silver coins. Take the rest as your tip.
Zhang Tie waved his hand and walked away with his canvas bag.
Seeing Zhang Tie's back, the taxi driver stood still for a while with complex feelings. Finally, he confirmed that he had met a good person and would not cause any trouble. He then drilled into the car and bought some beer and sausages before returning to Kalur...
...
The streets of Blapei were also covered with snow and slippery. At this moment, due to the cold weather, many roadside stores were closed. There were not many pedestrians on the streets. Occasionally, Zhang Tie would meet some people, who were all wrapped in thick clothes. Walking on the streets of Blapei, Zhang Tie decided to find a place to settle down.
Unconsciously, Zhang Tie came to a street in Blapei. When he saw that familiar female clothing store on the roadside, Zhang Tie became stunned, "How did I come here?"
Compared to what Zhang Tie saw last time, the clothes in the showcases facing the street had become thick women's winter clothes. There were some furry scarves around the necks of models, high-heeled shoes, beautiful long boots and shiny ornaments which were favored by women.
Under the illumination of the fluorite lamps, the whole display window was exquisitely decorated, full of a strong feminine flavor, and also very emotional. There was a pile of thick snow that had been shoveled up on the road beside the door, but the lights in the store gave people a warm and romantic feeling.
Rubbing his face, Zhang Tie smiled before pushing open the door and entering the store.
"Ding..."
The doorbell gave off a clear and melodious sound. Hearing it, the man who was talking beside the cashier turned around. At the sight of Zhang Tie, the three people became stunned once again. Zhang Tie had not imagined that it would be so coincidental. The same place, the same time and the same person. Everything was so dramatic.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Beise!" Zhang Tie grinned.
Beise's face turned pale as he started to quiver all over. In Mr. Beise's eyes, Zhang Tie's teeth were like those of a ferocious dragon who was going to eat people. "This... this... I'm just passing by... to buy something for my wife... this is my first time... really... I promise..."
"Have you finished buying the things you need?"
"I've bought it... I've bought it... you talk, you talk..." Mr. Beise said as he took a paper bag. He dared not even throw a glance at Zhang Tie as he hurriedly wanted to leave. When he passed by Zhang Tie, he leaned to one side and held his breath as he moved away inch by inch against the wall. The moment Mr. Beise rushed out of the store, he had fallen onto the ground heavily, causing his face to hit the ground. After picking himself up, he didn't even have the courage to look back at Zhang Tie as he hurriedly rolled and crawled away.
In a split second, only two people were left in the store.
