Chapter five hundred and forty-nine waste a company commander
"General...General, I didn't...kill anyone!"
"Then did you have sexual contact with an Italian girl in Quillini Park last night?"
"Yes, but then..."
"Captain Som, pull out all the inspection records and entry and exit records! Check! See if anyone besides him has been to Quillini Park, especially at night!"
The moment he heard Private Garner's affirmative reply, Major General Garde lost his patience.
With a wave of his hand, he drove Garner out of his office as if to shoo away a fly, and then issued an order directly to the head of the base's military police force.
As Captain Som took the order and left, the office once again fell into an awkward and strange silence...
Why can't we leave yet?!
A certain background board, so I thought.
Logically speaking, as the providers of clues, these three people from Company C, not to mention meritorious service, have nothing to blame. And in this obvious, not-so-beautiful environment, Carter did not expect any rewards...
Just kidding, it’s the power model of JTF. The Army, as the main branch of the Southern European Task Force, has such a big scandal and trouble. You know with your ass, the Navy and Air Force may, no, almost 99% will borrow it.
They use the opportunity to cause trouble, such as competing for seats in the main military services, or more precisely, competing for the position of commander...
Major General! A major general in the US military is not a worthless general from a small African country. With one more position, wouldn’t the power of his own military branch be greater...
The upper levels have the desire to compete for power; the lower levels have the hope of promotion. Such a combination... Hey! Some General Garde will have a headache with the following things!
At a time like this, do you still want to ask for rewards and take credit for such a trivial thing? Even if your brain is caught in the door, you know that this is not the right time!
The benefits are definitely gone, and Carter's patience will be running out...
"General, I just checked all the records. After eight o'clock in the evening, only Garner was the one who went to Quillini Park..."
Captain Som did not keep a few people waiting for a long time, but the news of this return...
"Colonel Carlson..."
He sighed quietly. From the Carter and others' perspective, Major General Gard's face showed no emotion or anger at all. But Carlson, who had more contact with the Major General, knew very well that Gard was already angry...
"You are making things very difficult for me, very difficult! As a general of the Army, I don't want to hand over my Army soldiers, but as the commander of the Southern European Task Force... what do you think I should do?"
"The 3rd Brigade obeys your orders, General!"
Carlson's answer was a bit official, and for a while Carter didn't even understand what it meant.
"Private Garner...Wait a minute for Captain Som, take him out and let the witnesses see it. If it is confirmed that it is him...including the subsequent DNA test, let's go through the dishonorable discharge procedure!"
"General, isn't this too heavy?!"
"Then how do you want me to explain to the people outside who are denouncing the murderer? How do I explain to the Department of the Army?"
Colonel Carlson subconsciously begged for mercy for his soldiers, which became the spark that completely ignited Major General Gard's anger. The general slapped the table hard, and his saliva almost sprayed on Carter's face...
"That damn guy, he alone, has tarnished the honor of our entire army! Especially when he knew that many eyes were staring at us, and under my repeated orders, he dared to act like this... In your
In his eyes, he is your soldier, but in his eyes, does he have you as a colonel and me as a general?!"
"Captain Winters!"
"yes, sir!"
"Be mentally prepared. If the accusations made by the Ghanaian private are true. You... a gomor, you probably won't be able to escape. Think about what you can do after leaving the army!"
"General...yes!"
Captain Winters' lips moved, but until the end, he couldn't say anything in defense...
...
...
"It's over, it's over, it's all over... One was dishonorably discharged, and one was reprimanded in writing by the general. Cruel, our general is still very determined to cut off a strong man's wrist... It's a pity for Winters."
"This is fate! They... Company B is indeed disciplined..."
After coming out of Major General Garde's office, McGuire and Hampton looked sad and said words that Carter couldn't understand.
Through the study of Army military law, Carter knew that dishonorable discharge was a very serious punishment for soldiers, and for officers it was dismissal...basically equivalent to the domestic punishment of expulsion from the military. Carter also knew about written reprimands for generals, but they
What is the specific impact, then...
"After being dishonorably discharged, Ghana will have a hard life. We will see if it will be handed over to the Italian police later. Even if it is not handed over, with this file record, he will basically have no chance of finding a job in a big company. Once he has a background
Investigation, it’s hard for him to flip patties at McDonald’s!”
As if seeing Carter's confused look, Lieutenant McGuire suddenly reached out and patted Carter on the shoulder and explained:
"Winters' punishment and written reprimand from the general...Although he can be discharged with 'honour', this record is also with the record. It may not have much impact after he is discharged, but his military career is definitely over. There is such a person
The record is that his promotion... This is not a war zone, and promotion is difficult. Therefore, after reaching the captain's service limit, he will probably not get a chance to be promoted. He can only prepare for a retreat. Think about what will happen after leaving the army.
Live..."
"The consequences are so serious?! We are not..."
Carter was a little speechless when he thought about it. Speaking of the US military stationed abroad, it was strange. In some areas, the US military stationed abroad enjoyed extraterritoriality, such as the US military stationed in Japan, but some did not, such as the US military stationed in South Korea...
Regarding the U.S. military stationed in Europe, or to be more precise, the issue of the security jurisdiction of the U.S. military stationed in Italy, Carter has not really checked the relevant laws in detail. I wanted to say, "Don't we have extraterritorial jurisdiction? That's it, let's judge it ourselves, and then give a small
"Explain something or something" I can't say anything...
Especially after thinking about the entanglement between the air force and the navy, chaos! It’s still chaos!
Thinking about what happened in Ghana, it was not his C Company's problem anyway, so Carter didn't bother to bother anymore. Speaking of which, he was just a temporary intern here, so there was no need to worry too much...
A mediocre weekend inspection can directly destroy a company commander...
In retrospect, Carter felt a little bit embarrassed about this overall dull processing process and even about things that had nothing to do with him.
Regarding the handling of Ghana, the base security squadron will be responsible later. The initial identification process went very quickly...
In the afternoon, when Carter saw Sergeant Whittaker who had returned to the company at the company headquarters, he was already basically certain that the instigator of the rape and murder was Garner. In addition to watching the show, he also had the beheaded soldier of Company B.
Chicken sets an example...
A new round of military discipline learning and rectification has also begun at the Vicenza base...
