Bruno pondered for a moment and finally made a decision:
"I am planning to form a cavalry regiment by recruiting elite riders from the Idar Territory among the army and reserve soldiers. The number is tentatively set at five hundred. As for the name... it will be called the Skeleton Cavalry Regiment."
Anyway, this is a different world, and no one calls out for plagiarism, so...
Bruno hoped that the cavalry led by Idar could become like the Prussian 5th Skeleton Hussars, moving quickly, outflanking and attacking, and becoming a quick-reaction force capable of harvesting and pursuing on the battlefield.
That's right,
After some consideration, Bruno finally shelved the idea of forming a pure heavy cavalry for the time being.
After all, on the battlefield, the army of the Principality of Idar has an extremely obvious disadvantage - mobility.
The disadvantages of heavy cavalry are also reflected in mobility and flexibility.
Although the magic cannon is powerful, it moves slowly.
Although Idar soldiers trained hard and were able to follow orders and prohibitions, they could only rely on their own two legs to move.
In the previous wars, the martial virtues of the Idar people were indeed abundant, but in a head-to-head confrontation with Odin's cavalry, they were still at a disadvantage most of the time.
Now Bruno hopes to make up for the mobility shortcomings of Idar's soldiers by forming a cavalry regiment.
At least before the emergence of tanks, armored vehicles and the like, the Idar Territory had to rely on cavalry to achieve rapid maneuvers on the battlefield for a long time.
As the name suggests, the main battle force that the original Prussian 5th Hussars Regiment relied on was hussars.
But the skeleton cavalry regiment that Bruno wanted to form was, in a sense, more similar to the combination of the late cuirassiers and hussars, and closer to the category of light cavalry.
In Bruno's vision, this cavalry will be relieved of all unnecessary burdens.
The helmets will be replaced by wide-brimmed hats, and the cavalry's weapons will be Idar sabers and magic rifles specially prepared for cavalry. As for the shiny breastplates...
If there is a military parade or a guard of honor, it will definitely be used!
"cavalry?"
Sam Layton was stunned.
"Sarah Colen's family is a family of knights. I plan to hand over the Skeleton Cavalry to him. You must cooperate with his work when the time comes." Bruno said solemnly.
"I understand!"
Sam Layton paused, and then said hesitantly: "It's just... there is one more thing... I don't know if I should..."
"Say." Bruno said bluntly.
"...it's about Dean Doug Bataloff and Counselor Patsy."
"ha?"
Bruno looked a little confused.
Who are these two guys?
No impression!
"Dean Doug Batalov is the head of Idar Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and the dean of Idar Medical College who you personally appointed. As for the mage named Patsy... he was a student of Doctor Doug, who was still a student at that time.
You personally approved it." Sam Layton prompted.
"Oh! There are two of them!" Bruno suddenly realized.
"What? I remember when we were fighting the Odin people a few days ago... they seemed to have volunteered to go to the front line to treat the wounded?"
"That's right!" Sam Layton nodded quickly: "That's it!"
"Any questions?"
"After the war, some soldiers discovered that they... they always sneaked into the camp where Odin's prisoners were held in the middle of the night, and then... not only dug graves, but also disemboweled some of the dead Odin soldiers...
…”
Hearing the words,
Bruno suddenly understood.
In fact, Bruno had doubts as early as when Doug Batalov volunteered to go to the front line.
Because there are actually military doctors accompanying Idar's army.
With the opening of Idar Medical College, a large number of grassroots civil servants and logistics soldiers in Idar were required to learn the Idar version of the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual". Doctors also began to try to abandon the commonly used bloodletting therapy and choose Idar Medical College instead.
Teach methods to treat injuries and illnesses.
The Idar Army has already established a simple wartime medical system under Bruno's instruction.
Therefore, when faced with the wounded that may appear in the war, whether Dr. Doug Bataloff goes or not does not actually have much effect.
And now,
Dr. Doug Bataloff's true purpose can already be guessed.
He was clearly taking advantage of the war to conduct human anatomy experiments!
Bruno once mentioned to him that if you want to improve the success rate of surgery, you must understand the various structures of the human body and the role of each organ in maintaining human body functions.
Obviously, Dr. Doug remembered what Bruno said before.
Too,
In peaceful times,
Even Dr. Doug Bataloff, who is a friend of women, would still find it unacceptable in this era if he rashly used civilian corpses for anatomy experiments.
This will undoubtedly cause the newly developed medical industry to encounter resistance from the public.
so……
For Dr. Doug Bataloff, the forefront of war is undoubtedly the perfect place to experiment.
Odin's soldiers, who suffered a large number of casualties, can definitely let Dr. Doug do whatever he wants.
"How many people know about this?" Bruno said calmly.
"Well... not many people know about this. When the soldiers on guard duty reported to me, I gave them a hush order on the grounds of the secret mission of the Idar CIA."
"Well done. If something like this happens again in the future, it will all be blamed on the Idar CIA." Hearing this, Bruno couldn't help but nodded.
"You mean..." Sam Layton tried.
"Where are people now?"
"Still in the north, they are probably still digging up the bodies of Odin people." The corner of Sam Layton's mouth twitched slightly.
"Remember, you never knew about this, and you never met Dr. Doug Bataloff in the North."
Sam Layton was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.
"I understand."
Of course Bruno also felt that Doug Batalov's approach was inappropriate. Although according to Samuel Layton, the people buried there were all Odin barbarians, but... this guy was digging graves after all!
Bruno couldn't help but feel moved when he thought that Dr. Doug Batalov, who could even castrate piglets and trembled all over, now dared to dig graves.
really,
The exploration of medicine and truth is enough to eliminate the fear in one's heart.
"Come here, ask Krell to send people to keep an eye on the north side. Don't let Dr. Doug make too much noise!"
