Chapter 1684 Corruption

At night, the barracks in the new barracks were still empty. Occasionally, two or three soldiers would appear, shaking with wine bottles on their shoulders. This is actually a serious violation of military discipline, but no officer came out to take care of it, because the officers were not in the barracks.

Lula walked into the barracks in high leather boots, without even seeing a sentry post along the way, and the sound of trampling footsteps moved around completely unimpeded. He was laughing like a tourist at the moment, not like a mad dog of the Anti-revolutionary and Clearance Committee at all.

After walking around, Lula said nothing. He happened to meet Qiao En and Xie Guozhong who were in a daze in the barracks. The two Mormon missionaries, dressed in serious suits, looked very energetic, but they were actually very depressed.

"Hi..." Lula took the initiative to greet her, "Are you... from the Mormon Church?"

Jon and Xie Guozhong, who had just been hit, could only force a smile. Lula is famous, but not everyone knows him. Jon greeted formulaically: "Hi, I'm Jon, the Mormon chaplain."

Lula casually made up a name, and after shaking hands, he grinned and said, "I heard that you have made good progress in missionary work recently, but today it seems a bit unexpected."

More than unexpected, it was extremely tragic. The hard work of the past few days was all in vain, and the bloodletting pocket could not be treated. In the last days, all the money stored in the bank will be wiped out. Jon's money is all accumulated by himself, but who can understand the pain of losing everything now?

Lula will not say that he is actually here today to investigate the missionary situation of the Mormon Church. But his sneer made Jon feel very ashamed. The latter smiled awkwardly and said, "We did encounter some troubles, but we will not give up easily. The soldiers here still need us."

"That's right, the recruits of the government army really need you, it depends on whether you can help them." Lula continued with a smile.

Jon immediately said: "We have been trying our best to help them. I know that they are about to go to the battlefield, and I know that their casualties will be heavy. But the glory of the Lord will encourage them..."

Before Jon could finish speaking, Lula shook his head and interrupted: "No, no, your help is too superficial. Your hypocritical and ridiculous encouragement is useless at all, and it is not as good as a piece of loyalty and patriotism from the Catholic Church. Charity show."

Jon was stunned, he turned his head to look at Xie Guozhong, as if he wanted to make sure if he heard it wrong. Lula continued: "The soldiers are really actively running towards your church, but do you know why? They just want the food you provide for free."

Jon and Xie Guozhong were even more puzzled.

"Because the Mexican officers in the new barracks deducted food, the soldiers couldn't get enough to eat." Lula revealed the answer. But the doubts of the two missionaries were even greater.

Realizing the seriousness of this problem, Jon lowered his voice and asked, "The officers here are also promoted from the bottom, and they are so quick? Do they regard recruits as assets that can be exploited? They are not afraid of the legion. punish?"

"Hahaha..., this is Mexico. Although I am also a Mexican, I know very well that the idea of ​​corruption is engraved in the minds of every Mexican. The key is that the Legion will not control the Mexican government army. Some people think that they You can do whatever you want.”

Lula used to be a member of the Diego regime and a member of the gang. He knows all too well that his fellow countrymen are victims of corruption and bad governance. But given the chance, victims can turn into perpetrators.

"It's not just the food that's been deducted, but also the salary. I bet the officers in the boot camp will share some of your benefits in exchange for you to shut up. As for the recruits here, who cares about them? Will you stand up for their interests? " Lula finished humming, laughed and left.

If it was just frustration just now, then Jon and Xie Guozhong were shocked now. The two of them didn't know the identity of the stranger who told them about it, but they knew that they were trapped in the whirlpool.

"Jon...,

Are you going to report it? Xie Guozhong asked with some trepidation. When Lula told the truth, he already believed it. Because he had long suspected that the soldiers in the barracks were being deprived of food, otherwise it would be unreasonable for the soldiers to just focus on eating every time they came to church.

"I need to do some investigation among the soldiers." Jon said seriously, "If it's true, I'll report it."

"Damn, do you want to court death?" Xie Guozhong scolded, "It's not your turn to investigate this kind of thing, you should go to other companies to ask other missionaries, they should also find something."

Jon was not stupid, and immediately understood the powerful relationship. He left the camp where his company was located to find other missionaries, and did not return quietly until the early hours of the next day. Xie Guozhong also stayed up all night, so he hurriedly asked about the situation.

"Damn it, the situation is more serious than we thought." Jon seemed to be greatly frightened when he came back. He was so evasive that he was afraid of encountering the Mexicans in the barracks. When he returned to the tent church and saw Xie Guozhong, he said, "This is not just about deducting food and salary."

Jon ran more than a dozen companies overnight, and even gathered many missionaries to collect information. As a result, he discovered that some people in the government army were systematically corrupt, and almost all officers were making money. Some soldiers tried to report to the government, but they were lynched to death after reporting.

This is a government army that has just been formed for three months and has only been handed over to the Nieto government for two months. Such a big problem occurred in two months, and the corruption is too fast.

As the rioting soldiers were quickly suppressed, the confrontation between officers and soldiers became extremely serious in an instant. The Mormon Church chose to cooperate with the current Mexican government, and the soldiers were sent to be brainwashed by military officers. The result was that the soldiers didn't trust the Mormon Church at all, and at most they just desperately ate and drank to fill their stomachs.

"Mexicans naturally have no confidence in the government. When Peña Nieto came to power, everyone thought it was a different government. But now everyone finds that the new government is no different from the previous one.

Many soldiers were fleeing, and one company lost a quarter of its men, so the officers simply arrested another group to fill the gap. This kind of thing is even more concealed and not reported, and the senior military officers pretend not to know. But I think the Legion may know about this, but I don't know why they didn't intervene. "

The more Jon talked, the more angry he became, and the more he talked, the more confused he became. But Xie Guozhong worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Legion. He has seen many conspiracies and tricks, and he is too aware of his boss's style of doing things-he doesn't care about this or that, this is clearly connivance.

"Let's report the situation, and don't meddle in the rest of the matter." Xie Guozhong knew that he was just a small guy, and had no say in such a big matter.

"But..." Jon hesitated. Now the Mormon Church cooperates with the Mexican government, and the Mexican government army is their only basic base. He didn't know what the consequences would be if the situation were reported.

But Xie Guozhong was more calm, "Report it, the church has no say in this matter. I bet, no matter what happens, our majesty has already had a way to deal with it. You can't beat him at all, so be honest .”
