Romanian Eagle

With the advent of the war, Romania's economy prospered, and the city government's fiscal revenue increased significantly, and more people felt the benefits of industrialization. The fastest update In addition to the benefits of expanding the army to 6 divisions, education, medical care, public security and infrastructure construction have all improved to varying degrees, which is the result of financial prosperity. These are not only enjoyed by the people of the country, but also seen by another special group of people.

In the northern Romanian border city of Le Dúci, the border policeman Bruno is making preparations. In 15 minutes, he will take his men to patrol the border. The reason for him to do this is that there are too many people smuggling in Romania now, and yes, they are smuggling into Romania.

These people are basically the people of Russia and Austria in Galicia. Galicia is in the southeastern border of present-day Poland and belongs to the upper valley of the Vistula River. During the third partition of Poland in 1795, Western Galicia was occupied by Austria, and in 1867 the east was also occupied by Russia. Now that the war broke out, millions of soldiers from the two countries are fighting to the death here, making the local people miserable. Many people are homeless because of the war, and the nearby neutral Romania has become a safe haven for these refugees.

Romania also understands the difficulties of these people. Unfortunately, the Romanian economy has just improved, and there is nothing that can be done about it. Only after taking in 110,000 refugees, Romania

The government closed the border to prevent subsequent refugees from entering, so this also led to frequent smuggling. In order to survive, these refugees often try to cross the border into Romania frequently, which also doubles the pressure on Bruno as a border policeman.

After he checked his weapons, ammunition and equipment, he looked at his subordinates who were going to lead the inspection. Pollock, who was still single at the age of 30, had the best marksmanship and eyesight in his team, so he took a hair Ser 98 rifle. His second-in-command, Camille, was shoving a revolver into the holster of his stout waist. The others are also preparing themselves. The most timid Basque among their subordinates is praying before leaving. They don't need to think about it and know that this is because they hope not to encounter deserters. This is why they need to be fully armed.

In fact, in the largest port city to Galicia, all police officers know that deserters are the people they dislike the most now. These armed men who have fled the battlefield will carry guns and sneak into Romania. Most of them have no other means of making a living. They can only do some illegal activities and even kill people. This has also made the public security environment in Le Deuzi worse recently. Commissioner Burt had a great headache.

However, I heard that the above is going to let the police and the garrison to carry out a big operation on the law and order of Le Deuqi, but this is not what he can understand in detail as a small police chief. Now he just wants to do a good job in this patrol, so that he can confidently get 3 days of vacation for everyone, after all, they have not taken vacation for more than a month.

After seeing that everyone was ready, Bruno looked at the pocket watch he bought for 120 lei and said loudly to his subordinates. We're about to set off in five minutes. Everyone makes the final preparations. We are still patrolling the border for two days.

Hearing the words of their captain, the police officers who were ready responded to their bosses in a variety of ways.

Everything is ready, Captain.

Got it, Captain.

Just waiting to go, Captain.

...

Looking at the different answers of his 14 subordinates, Bruno was not angry. The police are like this, they are not like the army to have this performance.

Five minutes later, Bruno took his subordinates and walked out of the police station. After placing the tents and other supplies on the three pack horses,

They started a two-day inspection.

Along the fence on the Romanian side of the border, they walked across snow-covered wasteland in a sparsely populated open field.

Be careful, the snow here is too deep to cover the pit, don't step in it.

Bruno spoke to the patrol behind him as he passed the pit dug by the hunter they had encountered before.

A team of border police responded. I know Captain.

Watching the sun shine on the snow-covered wild woodlands, Bruenor felt that they shouldn't encounter the stowaways this time. Because people are too conspicuous on the snow-white ground now, it is easy to be discovered, so Bruno feels that the results of this patrol will not be too big, that is, it will act as a deterrent.

Bruno felt right until four in the afternoon. However, after they climbed over a low hill, two people appeared in the wilderness, and after seeing the border fence that had been destroyed by them in the distance, a patrol of border police did not know the identities of these two people. .

Bruno, ignoring his premonition of being slapped in the face, told Pollock, who had the best marksmanship and was the only one with a long gun. I'll tell them to stop later. If these two run away, you are shooting the snow warning in front of them. Go and don't hit anyone, otherwise the police station will pay another medical bill.

Pollack retorted to his captain's words. That time it was because the wind blew the sand into my eyes, and I slipped my hand wrong. I also lost a month's salary for this. You can rest assured that I will pay attention this time.

Bruno ignored his rebuttal and turned to his deputy Camille. You take five people, go over on the left side, I'll take the other five over on the right side, you can't let them run away.

Camille nodded to him in agreement, and then he nodded to five people to go around through the woods. Bruno also selected five people and ordered them, and we slowly touched them from the right. As for the remaining two people, of course, they are responsible for looking after horses and supplies.

In fact, it is very difficult to hide in the snow, let alone Bruno and the others wearing black police winter uniforms. When they sneaked to 300 meters, the two smugglers found the police slowly approaching.

Quick, let's go separately.

An older and more experienced stowaways shouted to the other stowaways beside him and ran in a different direction. And of course the young stowaways wouldn't sit still and started running forward at all costs.

Bruno has been a border police officer for many years, especially because there have been too many people smuggling recently, which makes him and the police officers under him very experienced. He and his deputy, Camille, took their respective teams and chased their nearest targets. At this time, Pollock's gun rang out and hit the young stowaways in front of him, letting the stowaways who had never experienced this situation. The player was stunned for a moment, and at this time Bruno immediately loudly frightened him from behind. I'll hit you when you're running. If we catch you, you'll be locked up for a few months at most, and then you'll be put back. Don't do stupid things.

I don't know if Bruno's words played a role, or if he knew that someone in the distance was staring at him and made him not dare to move, so he was quickly knocked down and handcuffed by the police officers brought by Bruno. At this time, Bruno came over and saw the young stowaways who had been tested, just a boy with a face of only 16 or 7 years old. Through his dirty clothes and panicked expression, coupled with his thin body, Bruno sighed secretly, another war refugee.

After a brief interrogation by the police, it was exactly as he expected. This young man named Podolski's home was in a small town called Veltlina in Austrian Galicia. When Russia attacked Austria-Hungary, his home and family were destroyed by artillery fire. He is alone. And the other young man who was with him just now was from his town, Bebrowski.

After a while, he saw his deputy, Camille, and his group, leading a young man in his twenties from the direction of the woods.

However, he saw a still dissatisfied expression from the young man named Benovsky. I saw that he kept trying to look back at a policeman behind him, but he was stopped by the two policemen left and right and could not move, so he could only walk forward.

When I got closer, I saw that the corner of the mouth of this young man named Benovsky was a little bloody, and it seemed that he had been taught a lesson. Bruno didn't respond to this. It's not a big deal for the police to beat people these days, let alone they are stowaways. Now the city is getting worse and worse because of the stowaways, so everyone doesn't like them. Including the church, because when people are hungry, they don't care if you serve the messenger of God, so the church has also been harmed by them.

Looking at the two arrested, Bruno turned his head and shouted to two of his subordinates. Luke, Borf, you two will escort them back tomorrow morning.

The two constables named Luke and Borf replied. Good captain.

The four of you, Willis, Bol, Catri, and Billy, will simply mend the broken fence so that no one is allowed in again.

After instructing his subordinates to work, Bruno looked at the sky. Feeling that the delay made it impossible for them to get to the scheduled campsite before the sun went down, he told his deputy Camille. Let's camp in the front col, just enough to keep out the wind.

No problem, Captain.

Then a group of police officers walked towards Bruno's finger with two trophies. They did not patrol the border for a day or two. They knew the terrain of the mountains and forests on the way, and they all knew where to rest on this road. good location.

It didn't take long before the Col that Bruno pointed to appeared. This is actually not a very good campsite. The east side is not covered, but it is unlikely that the east wind will blow this day, so I chose this place. .

Of course, after arriving here, the group began to gather firewood to make a fire, set up tents, and feed the horses, all of which were very enjoyable. They even arrested two stowaways, and they were arranged to fight next to them. Of course, there were police officers working on the side and monitoring them.

After they did all this, the four police officers who repaired the border fence also returned, and this was the most relaxing moment for these hard-working Border Patrol officers. They sat around watching the bonfire cooking the food in the pot, and sipping hot coffee with cups in their hands. The whole person felt very relaxed, and they talked about light topics by the way. , and Podolsky and Benovsky, who were arrested by them, were also sitting two or three meters away from them.

At this time, Captain Bruno took the coffee pot and walked to them with three cups. When they saw him coming, they both stared at the steaming coffee pot. Seeing the eyes of the two, Bruno handed them the cups in his hands, and then he poured the coffee from the pot into the cups they were holding.

After all this, Bruno raised his coffee and spoke to the two young refugees. Respect this damn war and keep it away from us.

Podolsky and Benovsky also raised their cups and replied. Respect this damn war.

After the tax, the two picked up the coffee and drank it. It seemed that they were starving and freezing.

cough cough

Podolsky couldn't help coughing because he drank too quickly.

Looking at Podolsky who was coughing, Bruno persuaded him. Drink slowly, no one will touch your coffee.

Then Bruno gave them a portion of the food, and on these refugees, Bruno could only do so much. Bruno knew all about their ending. They will be detained in Romania for a short time and then sent back, and after being sent back, they will be sentenced to three years of hard labor by Russia and Austria. Considering that this is a time of war, the location of their service can basically be determined to be more dangerous, and the two have a half chance of not being able to survive during the hard labor.

However, Bruno has nothing to do about it. Now a large number of refugees have entered Romania through various methods, which makes the police force, which is not much, very nervous. This approach can only be avoided unless the government can allow refugees to enter, depending on how government policy makers think about it.

After the meal, Bruno and his party left one person to watch the night, the others hid in the tent early to sleep, and even Podolsky and Benovsky were assigned a small tent. Soon everyone fell asleep in exhaustion, even these two young people who smuggled in, but it wasn't that Bruno was completely relieved about the two, how could he be so ignorant as a policeman, but that an iron was attached to their feet. The chain, with a few bells on it, was the reason Bruno was bold and reassured.

It was a very quiet night, nothing happened except for the shift of the night watchman. In the early morning, after collecting their belongings, Bruno and his party continued to set off, and the captured Podolsky and Bebunovsky would be sent to the bureau for temporary detention.

Just after the separation at this col, Bruno continued to set off with his team members. They needed to go all the way to a small river called Naluja and then return to Le Deuce. This will meet with another border city, Botoshani, and if they are lucky, they can sit by the river and drink coffee with their colleagues in Botoshani.

It's coming soon. It's better to see the patrol of Botoshani, so you can taste their coffee. It's much better than our police station.

When crossing a white hill, the deputy Camille told Bruno who was at the forefront of his desire to reach the finish line. It's just that the deputy's words didn't arouse his interest at all, and he was stunned when he stood on the top of the mountain. Seeing that the captain was motionless, Camille also stepped forward curiously, but he was also stunned. Then the officers on the patrol were stunned.
