Chapter 328: Independently strengthen the combat camp
"Eh? Why are you coming down today? Didn't Veleconi go home for vacation today?" Claude watched strangely as Doris slipped down the stairs skillfully and swiftly along the hanging sheets.
Xin said you are not afraid of your husband finding out.
Doris got into the quilt and said, "I wrote the letter asking him to come home."
"Huh? What do you mean? Why did you let him go home? The scene where you caught us two?" Claude was shocked. Didn't Doris resent Veleconi for being useless? In the past, even Veleconi
I don't want him to come back during the holidays, lest I see him upset and angry. How can I take the initiative to let him go home now? I have seen Velekoni go home three times this New Year alone.
"What the heck, I'll let him go home and serve as a shield for us." Doris had already sat on it: "I want to have a child. I can't get pregnant if he doesn't come home..."
Well, Claude had nothing to say and could only do his best to meet Doris's needs. Since Doris knew that Claude had become a father, she began a new round of oppression of Claude.
, she also wanted to become a mother and asked Claude to give him a child. For this reason, she also specially wrote a letter to recruit Veleconi, her nominal husband, back home, so that no one would suspect her even if she was pregnant in the future.
Time passed slowly and quickly like this. By the beginning of April after the rainy season in March, Doris finally got pregnant as she wished. When Claude learned the news, he had just returned from the military academy and got off his horse as soon as he entered the courtyard.
I saw Aunt Natalie coming up to Claude happily and bringing a plate of white rice cakes with black sesame seeds scattered on top.
This is a folk custom in the royal capital, which means that if a girl in the family is happy, she will bring flowers and leaves to the family, and many children will bring good fortune.
"This is..." Claude didn't know much about this folk custom, and he didn't know what this black sesame and white rice cake was. He just wondered how Aunt Natalie, who had always been frugal and stingy with money, would be willing to make such a snack for nothing.
to give away.
"Take it and eat it." Aunt Natalie said generously: "There is a happy event in our family today. I steamed a lot and sent it to every household in the village. Tomorrow I will send a basket to Silver Moon in Murdo Town.
Go to the Temple of the Goddess..."
"What happy event is it?" Claude was curious.
"It's Doris, she is finally happy." Aunt Natalie grinned and said with joy: "I have told Veleconi to go home more often, and let the couple work harder. This
No, Veleconi has been coming back often in the past few months, and Doris will be here soon..."
Uh... Claude could only take the plate of white rice cakes and said to himself, I am the one who worked hard. My waist has almost collapsed in the past two or three months. Your precious son is useless, you and your damn
The old man is so dim-sighted that he doesn't notice at all that your precious son doesn't behave like a man. Even though he's wearing a military uniform, he walks and talks a little charmingly?
"Congratulations...have you confirmed it? How many months has it been?" Claude asked.
"Confirmed. I went to the military academy today to invite a pharmacist. He checked Doris and said she is about two months pregnant." Aunt Natalie answered with a smile.
"This is really a happy event!" Claude reached out and took out a silver thaler from his pocket and handed it over: "Come on, Aunt Natalie, I have lived in your house for more than a year. According to the custom there, like
Such a happy event should be given as a favor. This silver thaler is considered as a wedding gift from me. You can use it to buy some delicious food for Doris to replenish her health..."
"How can that be done? It costs you so much..." Aunt Natalie declined very politely, but she held the silver coin tightly in her hand.
"It's okay, just take it. It's because of us that we can stay at your house, so you don't have to be polite. Okay, I'm going back to the room first." Claude returned to the room carrying the white rice cakes.
Sitting on the chair, listening to the noise coming from upstairs. Now that Doris is pregnant, she has suddenly become the protected animal of the family. Halbena has almost become her full-time maid, busy carrying water and meals.
stop……
Claude sighed deeply. Doris got her wish, but Claude didn't know what to do. This child was his, but he couldn't say it. Aunt Natalie and her family were worried about Doris's wish.
The child in Liz's belly regarded her as her biological grandson, but if the matter was exposed, Claude would immediately be regarded as an enemy by their family.
Claude climbed upstairs in the dead of night. Doris was still waiting for Claude. She told Claude not to think too much. In fact, Veleconi promised that he would
She and Claude's children were treated as their own biological children, so as not to make Aunt Natalie and Mr. Zahirak sad.
Doris said that Veleconi was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Claude's help in getting Doris pregnant. This sounded really absurd and funny, but to Veleconi, it was sincere.
Thank you. Because this can better conceal the truth that he is gay. No one will suspect that the husband of his pregnant wife is gay. This will make him feel more comfortable at home and outside...
Then, what will happen when the child grows up? Claude asked.
Let's talk about it... Doris doesn't want to think about it in the long term. She just wants to enjoy the happiness of being a mother now. But she promised Claude that if the child grows up in the future, or if there is a big change in the family, she will tell the child
Who is his biological father? Let the child find Claude...
Claude silently crawled back to his room...
At the end of April, Claude was summoned by General Michelchi in the military academy. Claude followed the general's major adjutant to the outside of the Academic Affairs Office. After waiting for half an hour, Claude was notified that he could go in to see Michelchi.
General Sherkey.
General Michelich wore a pair of crystal glasses and looked down at a document. Claude came to his desk, raised his hands and stood at attention.
"Take a break," General Michelich responded casually, pointing to a chair next to Claude: "Sit down, Claude, I came here to discuss with you this time.
The problem of job allocation."
Claude sat upright: "Back to General, I will obey the assignment, no matter where I go."
General Michelich laughed: "No matter where you go? No, no, no, I hope you can go to a position that is suitable for you to use your talents. Otherwise, it will be a waste of talents."
"Let's put it this way, Claude, the military academy training will end at the end of May, which will only last a month. Your training performance and assessment results are very excellent, and you are ranked among the top students in the advanced seminar class. Of course your
The strengths and weaknesses are also obvious, and I believe you know it very well." General Michelic stood up and walked slowly around the desk.
"After this military academy training, you have been determined to be promoted to another level and become a lieutenant colonel officer in the Kingdom. This is a reward for your excellent performance in the assessment." General Michelich told Claude good news.
Claude immediately stood up and clenched his fists in his heart: "I am willing to serve the kingdom! Be loyal to His Majesty! Thank you General for your cultivation!"
"Okay, don't say these clichés in front of me. This is actually an honor you have obtained with your own hard work and talent." General Michelic waved his hand: "Sit down, don't be so restrained. I asked you to come just because I want to be with you."
You discuss your position in the Rangers, you now have two choices."
General Michelich quickly explained the whole story to Claude. According to the establishment of the Ranger Division, it has four regular mobile field regiments, plus a light cavalry regiment, an independent reinforced combat battalion and an enhanced artillery regiment.
The battalion has a total strength of about 32,000 people.
After Claude completed his military school training and was promoted to lieutenant colonel, he should work at the regiment headquarters according to his military rank. In the regular army of the Kingdom of Ovilas, the officer in charge of the battalion establishment is the rank of major, and the officer in charge of the regiment establishment is the colonel.
Military rank. The rank of lieutenant colonel basically serves as deputy or chief of operations staff at the regiment headquarters, as well as the officer in charge of a certain department. It is preferred for civilian officers, such as the director of the Military Law Office, or the officer in charge of the logistics department, etc.
In fact, in peacetime, serving as the deputy and chief of operations staff of the regiment is a leisurely job. The regiment commander makes the decision above, and the officers in charge of each department are responsible for the trivial matters below. If something goes wrong, the deputy will usually not be affected.
The chief of staff, the regimental commander, and the officers in charge of the departments took the blame. To put it bluntly, in fact, they had nothing to do and were unable to control. They had no power and no one cared about them.
Therefore, those aristocratic children who enter the army who are well-connected and capable will seek this deputy position or the position of chief of combat staff, as well as the position of regimental staff. In peacetime, being in the army can be regarded as gold-plated and seniority, and usually they are free and unconstrained. It is simply
It is a military position tailor-made for those powerful and wealthy children who spend money and have connections to serve in the military.
Although it is impossible for the Ranger Regiment to allow those children from noble, powerful, and wealthy families to join in the service after the establishment of the Ranger Regiment, in peacetime, as the deputy of the regiment or chief of combat staff, in addition to making plans during field combat exercises, it is a bit busy.
In fact, there is nothing to do.
General Michelich did not want Claude to be a salary thief in the division and live a comfortable life. In his opinion, it would be a huge waste of talent for Claude to serve in the regiment, so he decided to put pressure on Claude.
Give him some responsibility and let him work alone to serve as the battalion commander of the independent reinforced combat battalion of the Ranger Regiment.
After Claude completed his training and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, taking up the position of battalion commander of the independent reinforced combat battalion seemed to be a high-ranking and low-qualified one. However, in fact, the battalion organization of this independent reinforced combat battalion was different from other mobile field operations.
The battalions are very different. The mobile field battalion of the Ranger Division is composed of four brigades with a total of 920 people, plus a security squadron, an artillery squadron, a military police squadron, a logistics squadron and a light cavalry reconnaissance squadron.
, as well as personnel directly under the battalion headquarters, a total of more than 1,360 people, which is almost one brigade more than the battalion establishment in other legions of the kingdom.
And this independent reinforced combat battalion is even more overstaffed, with four directly affiliated combat brigades with a full strength of 1,000 people, a light cavalry battalion of 280 people, an artillery battalion of 240 people, a guard squadron, and a military police squadron.
Still the same, but the logistics squadron has become a brigade, plus the personnel directly under the battalion headquarters and a guard squadron, as well as a support squadron, the total strength has reached more than 1,800 people, which is equivalent to the total strength of two combat battalions of a second-line army.
There are too many people.
Claude was curious about that support squadron. General Michelich explained that this independent reinforced combat battalion will be equipped with two thousand war horses, as well as 600 healthy horses and 120 four-wheeled freight vehicles.
Carriages. The combat brigade directly under the battle brigade and the light cavalry brigade have their own grooms, and the remaining horses are directly under the jurisdiction of the battalion headquarters. It can be said that everyone has a horse. The support squadron does not belong to combat personnel, but to various craftsmen, veterinarians, carpenters,
Logistical support combination of blacksmiths, cobblers and tailors.
Generally speaking, only combat units in the division establishment are equipped with such logistics support combination units. Most of them are in the establishment of a squadron. They often become free labor for senior officers at the division level, providing them with various conveniences in life.
Just like the senior officers of some legions, they also hire senior chefs to enter such logistics support units to facilitate their own banquets and enjoyment of delicious food.
The reason why this independent reinforced combat battalion has a guaranteed squadron configuration is mainly because this battalion is responsible for independent combat tasks. It can be said to be the sharp knife force of the Ranger Corps. It must not only be able to attack, but also be good at defending. For example, if there is a riot in a certain place,
Irrepressible, the Ranger Division received an order to quell the chaos, so the first to set off must be this independent reinforced combat battalion. They need to rush to the location of the riot as soon as possible, select key points to capture and hold firmly, and wait for the follow-up large forces.
advent……
Claude understood that it turned out that this independent reinforced combat battalion was equipped with so many war horses, strong horses and four-wheeled freight carriages in order to enhance the battalion's maneuverability and reaction speed. As for this support squadron, it was to use local materials during combat.
Replenish the loss of military supplies during battles to maintain combat effectiveness.
General Michelich hoped that Claude could serve as the commander in charge of this independent reinforced combat battalion. He told Claude that the battalion commander position of this independent reinforced combat battalion was originally decided to be held by an officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Ranger Division
There are many discerning and well-informed people in the regiment who have taken a fancy to the position of battalion commander. Many lieutenant colonel officers have expressed their willingness to serve in this combat unit. In their opinion, the position of battalion commander of this independent reinforced combat battalion will be
The most solid ladder for them to climb up in their military careers...
However, General Michelich rejected the requests of these lieutenant colonel officers who volunteered. In his opinion, the only person suitable for the position of battalion commander was Claude. The reason is very simple. During the nearly one year of military school training, he
In drills and sand table simulations, Claude was invincible in battles with troops below the command battalion, and no one was his opponent. The tactics he received were evaluated as being weird and flexible. In field drills, he often won unexpected victories with very few troop losses.
Good at sneak attacks and ambushes, etc.
"The more than 800 grassroots officers trained in the military academy are about to complete their training." General Michelich said: "If you are willing to serve as the battalion commander of this independent reinforced combat battalion, you can give priority to among these more than 800 grassroots officers.
Select twenty trainees who have performed well during the training and have excellent grades to form the grassroots officer framework of the combat camp. The insufficient officers will be assigned to you by the military school. Then go to Christo Castle in early June, where you will select outstanding soldiers to form
This independent reinforced combat battalion..."
Claude stood up, stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, General, I am willing to serve in this independent reinforced combat battalion."
