In the next ten minutes, the staff officer left by Colonel Leibniz took Zhang Tie in a small circle among several offices of 39th Division's headquarters and asked Zhang Tie to fill in the With just a few forms, everyone in the entire headquarters knew that Colonel Leibniz had recruited a recruit today, a recruit who was born and raised in Black Flame City, a lucky man who suffered from acquired lightning strike syndrome after being struck by lightning at the age of 15.

Black Flame City is now the territory of the Norman Empire, Zhang Tie is already a citizen of the Norman Empire, and has reached the age of fifteen. According to the laws and traditions of the Norman Empire, Colonel Leibniz certainly has the right to recruit him into the army, and throughout the Norman Empire, once a person who has cultivated Iron-Blood Dark Force joins the army, the minimum salary is a second lieutenant. Therefore, the first recruit 39th Division recruited in Black Flame City, the fifteen-year-old Zhang Tie, suddenly became the youngest second lieutenant in the entire 39th Division.

This incident became a hot topic when the officers of the entire 39th Division headquarters were having lunch. Zhang Tie had previously rescued a Norman Empire soldier and it was already known to everyone. Based on this incident, many people had a favorable impression of Zhang Tie.

And everyone who knows the temper and character of Colonel Leibniz has guessed that the little guy Zhang Tie is now the most interesting "toy" in Colonel Leibniz's hands. This "toy" can bring some interesting little things to Colonel Leibniz. Stories and topics, such interesting little stories and topics will make Colonel Leibniz an interesting and topical person in the hearts of lonely ladies at Nottingham's cocktail parties and salons. Maybe they can bring a few interesting nights to Colonel Leibniz. It's as simple as that.

After going through some procedures at the headquarters, the staff officer next to Leibniz, Second Lieutenant Visi, drove a car and parked at the entrance of the headquarters, and asked Zhang Tie to get in.

"Where are we going now?" Zhang Tie asked.

"Go to the logistics department first. Then I will take you to Iron-Blood Battalion to report..." Staff officer Visi replied.

So Zhang Tie got on the open-top military off-road vehicle again, and the off-road vehicle immediately drove out of the division headquarters.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the headquarters, the sharp-eyed Zhang Tie discovered that he saw several familiar faces at the gate of the headquarters.

"Stop!" Zhang Tie shouted quickly.

With a sound of "squeak...", Staff Officer Visi stepped on the brakes.

"Sorry, I just saw a few friends and my elder brother. They may be worried about me. They are still waiting outside the headquarters. I will go and say hello to them and then come back!" During this time at the headquarters. Zhang Tie already knows that Salwei, whom he once rescued, is a soldier of the Norman Empire and a scout. After knowing that he was captured, Salwei has been running for him.

Saying that, Zhang Tie had already ran over. Salwei and Zhang Yang were squatting under a tree on a flower stand next to the entrance of the headquarters. They seemed to be waiting for Zhang Tie to be released. Of course, it is not a place where a few Big Head soldiers and ordinary people can enter at will. Even if they know that Zhang Tie is inside now, a few people can only wait outside. For a few people, as long as they know that Zhang Tie is okay.

Several people were chatting under the tree, and it seemed that they didn't expect Zhang Tie to run over so suddenly.

"Brother..." Zhang Tie called out as he ran over.

Zhang Yang turned around and found Zhang Tie running over. So Zhang Yang quickly stood up, went over and took Zhang Tie's hand, with excitement and concern on his face, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay. What can happen to me!" Zhang Tie smiled and patted his elder brother's hand as a comfort.

Zhang Yang's heart finally fell back into his stomach at this moment. Salwei had already limped over. Following Salwei were Miller, Harley and two other guys they had met.

Letting go of his brother's hand, Zhang Tie rushed up and gave Salwei a hug. The two of them let go, and Zhang Tie beat Salwei's chest, "I was deceived by you back then."

Salwei chuckled, "If I were wearing this uniform at that time, would you have saved me?"

"Save, of course I'll save you. I've done a great job by knocking you out and sending you to Wild Wolf Castle..." Zhang Tie laughed, then joined Miller and Harley said hello to a few people who had met each other once. Zhang Tie thought these guys were weird at first, but he didn't expect that these guys turned out to be Norman Empire's scouts, coming to clear the way for the army.

In just one month, Black Flame City has been turned upside down, and everyone has become a citizen of the Norman Empire. The little grudge they had before no longer exists now, not to mention that Zhang Tie and Salwei still have a fateful friendship.

Seeing Zhang Tie so cheerful, everyone around them laughed, and everyone felt that their efforts this morning were not in vain.

"Let's go home first. Your parents will be very happy to know that you are fine..." Zhang Tie's brother said excitedly. "Everyone go back together. I'll buy two bottles of good wine. Let's have a good drink tonight!"

"Brother, you go back first and tell your parents that I'm fine. Don't let them worry. I may have to wait a little longer before I can go back!"

"What, is there anything else?" Zhang Yang was stunned.

"You will know when I come back..."

Staff officer Visi over there had already honked the horn twice, and Zhang Tie stopped talking, said hello to the people here, ran over and jumped on the off-road vehicle, and the car drove away.

Seeing that my brother was kidnapped by the Norman Empire's people yesterday, and today he was riding Norman Empire's military vehicle in Black Flame City's streets, Zhang Yang felt as if he didn't recognize Zhang Tie, and he froze in place for a long time...

"You, brother, are probably going to be lucky!" Miller laughed...

Zhang Tie is indeed in luck.

Staff officer Visi drove Zhang Tie directly to 39th Division's logistics base. This base was originally a camp for the Black Flame City defense army, and has now been requisitioned.

In this logistics base, people wearing Norman uniforms were coming and going everywhere. Compared with the headquarters, there were more people here and it was more noisy. And the open space of the camp was full of dark green boxes with the logo of the Iron Horn Legion. The boxes were piled up in different categories. Many supplies were covered with tarpaulins.

Staff officer Visi directly led Zhang Tie to an office in the camp with a sign for the equipment department. He handed something from his briefcase to an officer wearing glasses in the office. When the officer saw what staff officer Visi handed over, he stood up from behind the desk.

"Please follow me..."

Then the officer led staff officers Zhang Tie and Visi to a warehouse on the other side of the camp. The materials and boxes in the warehouse were also piled up.

"Calvin..." the officer called out, and a short, fat guy with a greasy face ran out from behind a pile of boxes.

The officer who brought Zhang Tie and the others pointed at Zhang Tie, "Iron-Blood Battalion, second lieutenant, is a person personally assigned by Colonel Leibniz. Give him a complete outfit..."

The short, fat guy with a smooth face only glanced at Zhang Tie. He was slightly surprised, and then reported a series of numbers, "Height 178cm, weight 71 to 73 kilograms, well-proportioned body. Head circumference is slightly larger, 61. Shoe size 40. Wait..."

Zhang Tie is a little stunned. What kind of eyes are these? All the data comes out just by looking at people. It's so amazing.

Only two minutes later, the guy named Calvin came over with two very heavy military backpacks and several boxes. After putting these things on a table, Calvin disappeared for another two minutes, and then brought in several large and small packaging boxes and boxes, and then began to introduce them.

"Now we can only get a complete set of summer clothes, regular clothes and training combat uniforms. There are three sets of belts and gloves, and five sets of socks, underwear and shirts. The second lieutenant has a pair of boots, a pair of leather boots, and three pairs of high-top training combat shoes. Other daily necessities are standard. Here is a list. This year's winter clothes will be issued in October. The second lieutenant's lieutenant's uniform is now out of stock. It will take a few days to wait until it is available. It will be distributed together with next month's daily necessities. This package contains the second lieutenant's epaulettes, collar flowers, cap badges and Iron-Blood Battalion's breastplate. This box contains the lieutenant-level Arrowhead Type-B Light Defensive Armor that the empire has just equipped with troops..." Calvin here reported the contents of several backpacks and large and small boxes like a menu.

Is this Norman Empire's lieutenant configuration? Zhang Tie was a little stunned after hearing this. He finally understood why it costs money to raise an army. How much does it cost to buy just these things? Moreover, Zhang Tie found that Norman Empire's second lieutenant's treatment, at least in terms of these daily necessities, was better than Black Flame City's. The second lieutenant of City Guard is much taller. He has all kinds of uniforms, uniforms, and training uniforms. There are more than three sets of them, and he even has boots. It can be seen that the status of the soldiers in the Norman Empire seems to be very high. High, it is not comparable to the soldiers of the Andaman Alliance. Compared with these soldiers of the Norman Empire, the soldiers of the Andaman Alliance are more like bodyguards and guardians of a group of rich people.

"We will be arriving at Iron-Blood Battalion in a while. You should try changing into a set of regular clothes from the inside out..." the staff officer at Visi suggested.

"Right here?"

"Right here!"

"Can I take a shower now? You know I just came out of prison yesterday, and that place was not very clean!" Zhang Tie smiled sheepishly.

Visi Captain did not speak, but just glanced at the officer in the logistics department with a questioning look.

"Calvin, take him to take a bath..."

The guy named Calvin took Zhang Tie to the bathhouse in this camp, so Zhang Tie took a quick bath in the bathhouse. The clothes Zhang Tie originally wore were from the trial, and they were already three times old. I haven't washed it yet, and I spent the night in the "club" on the third floor of Black Dungeon last night. In addition to being dirty, the clothes seemed to have a lot of fleas. Not only did they feel uncomfortable to wear, but they also carried the bad luck from Black Dungeon. Zhang Tie didn't want to take this thing home again.

So Zhang Tie just didn't stop and threw all the clothes he was wearing, from head to toe, including the socks with two holes in them and the shoes that were worn out, into the trash can in the bathhouse. Then he put on a 100% brand new outfit of a Norman emperor - from socks, to underwear, to vests, shirts, uniforms, and boots, everything was put on new.
