"Sir, this is a training syllabus issued by the division staff. Our battalion must complete the training requirements and every soldier must pass the training assessment..." Major Schneck handed a folder to the newly entered battalion office.
of Claude.
Claude opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but shook his head. What does Gao Yuyuan mean? This so-called training outline is. Because the Ranger Division is equipped with 20,000 war horses, the division staff hopes to give soldiers equipped with war horses to
They are trained to be able to dismount and fight, and mount to attack. Unfortunately, the mounts equipped by the 131st Ranger Battalion are all war horses, so the soldiers are also required to master the basic skills of a cavalry.
"Continue with our original training plan. I will discuss this training outline with General Michelich for rectification. The intentions of the division staff are good, but they do not understand the purpose and nature of our battalion's operations. If it is on a large battlefield
As for us, one more cavalry battalion will not help much in the outcome of the victory. For us, the role of war horses is not only for raids, but a greater help is mobility and flexibility, and can quickly move to the next combat location.
, in order to achieve unexpected combat effects. Just like our battalion rushed in front of the enemy and set up an ambush during the last field battle exercise..." Claude threw the training outline on his desk.
"Yes, sir," Major Schneck answered.
Nearly two months have passed since the last military exercise against the Guards Corps. No one expected that Claude would lead the 131st Ranger Battalion to win four battles and four victories in the field battle exercise, and even the following three field battles.
There is no need to compete anymore in the drill. The officers of the Guards Corps were disgraced. Claude took the 131st Ranger Battalion back to the camp as if a hero had returned. Even General Michelich came to inspect in person.
Claude praised him like a flower and announced that all the officers and soldiers of the 131st Ranger Battalion would be remembered for first-class meritorious service...
No one dislikes a commander who can lead him to victory and minimize the casualties of his soldiers. Claude has now truly mastered the 131st Ranger Battalion, and everyone follows what he says. Even Major Schneck,
As the deputy battalion commander, he also took Claude's orders as his edict.
Opening the "King Capital News" on the table, the title on the first page is "The special envoy went to the Kingdom of Hicks again to try to find a way to reach a friendly and peaceful agreement." This was what the Kingdom had told the Kingdom of Hicks for more than half a year.
The third envoy sent, right? The problem is that the first two envoys did nothing. Not only did the Kingdom of Hicks refuse to acknowledge the invasion and harassment of the Overseas Direct Territory of the Kingdom of Ovilas by their garrison on the mainland of Nubisia, but they also
They believed that the local garrison troops of the overseas territories had invaded their colony first, and in turn demanded an apology and compensation from the Kingdom of Ovilas.
McJack put a cup of steaming black tea on the table, and Claude continued to read the second page. There is no longer any labor bill. The funny thing is not that the amendment to the labor bill failed to pass the approval of the National Assembly, but that the Labor Bill failed to pass the National Assembly.
After the plan proposed by Deputy Speaker Binite to immigrate one million young natives from the Nubisian continent to the newly occupied territory of the Kingdom was spread, not only the countries in the Falea continent sent envoys to protest, but also the royal capital.
Tens of thousands of residents gathered to protest. Their reasons were the same, refusing to let the blood of the demon descendants of Nubicia continent pollute the pure Farea continent...
It is said that the deputy speaker's residence in the royal capital was smashed to pieces by the angry demonstrators, while the patrol officers responsible for maintaining order stood by and watched. A well-informed source claimed that several major temples were behind this mass demonstration.
Support, because the natives of Nubisia have always believed in the evil god. Once they are allowed to immigrate to the Farea continent, the evil god's belief will spread in the Farea continent. The actions of several major temples are also precautions...
…
Okay, it involves a battle of beliefs again. Claude only knows one thing in general. The natives of Nubicia originally believed in primitive gods. In the eyes of the natives, all things are animistic, such as wind, trees, stones, rivers, and mountains.
Anything can become a god they worship. With the arrival of the colonists, the indigenous tribes were wiped out, and the so-called worship and sacrifice activities to the primitive gods were also banned. Several major temples in the Farea continent also sent people to preach in the colonies.
, recruiting indigenous believers, hoping to change the belief inheritance of these demon descendants.
But what these temples did not expect was that a new monotheistic religion soon emerged and spread among the indigenous mixed-race residents in the colonies. This monotheistic religion was called Sunidat, which preached that there is only one God in all things, and all other gods are
The incarnation of the God Lord, an illusory image, is not worthy of admiration. At the same time, he promoted the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth among the indigenous residents, drove the white people out of the Nubisian continent, and gained countless mixed-race indigenous believers.
Those sent by the temple to preach on the mainland of Nubisia were assassinated, and the temples they built were burned down. They were involved in a religious war that lasted for two to three hundred years with the Sunidat Cult, and they unanimously claimed that this Sunidat religion
The Dart Cult is a cult, and the Sunidat God is an evil god. Now the Deputy Speaker of Obinite is so stupid that he actually came up with the idea to immigrate millions of young mixed-race indigenous people from the Nubisian continent to the kingdom's new occupied territory. This
It immediately aroused the sensitive nerves of the major temples. Obviously, among these millions of young indigenous people, there are many followers of the evil god Sunidat. The major temples do not want that evil god to spread his faith to the continent of Farea.
Now the deputy speaker of Obinite has become a lost dog that everyone is shouting about. As a representative of the emerging business aristocracy, everything he does is for profit, but he has forgotten the civil customs and religious disputes in the mainland.
He only saw the golden benefits, but forgot the risks. He doesn't know where he is hiding now, but it can be expected that his career has come to an end.
The second page of "Royal Capital News" has become an entertainment anecdote. It tells the story of two children from aristocratic families who were jealous of a famous actress at the Grand Theater and got into a big fight. They also met to have an illegal life and death in the suburbs.
The duel resulted in both of them being seriously injured, but the actress became the mistress of another powerful man in the royal capital...
Well, this drama is bloody enough. Claude had to admit that there was more news in the royal capital. Such romantic anecdotes about dignitaries could easily be published in newspapers and become popular among ordinary people.
Daily anecdotes and important things. After all, both men and women have a gossipy heart and like to inquire about those powerful people who are above them.
There was no interesting news next. Claude drank the black tea, greeted Major Schneck, and then took Michael Jack and the big man Germi to inspect the training of each group. There were four direct combat groups,
Claude was reassured by the three captains of the 4th Brigade: Muired, Diaverde, and Belklin. There was also a new captain, Captain Kershmir, who served as the captain of the 4th Brigade. He also had a good personality.
He is studious and obedient. He is led by the three of them, and the training goes very smoothly.
Claude's main concern was the light cavalry group. He asked the light cavalry not to become a pure cavalry unit, but to become a scout cavalry that surpassed the light cavalry of the Principality of Karrnath. The training method set for them was to practice precision on horseback.
Aim and shoot, hit the enemy's scout cavalry within 100 meters, turn around and run away after firing the gun. When the enemy is chasing them, lead them into an ambush circle to eliminate them, instead of seeing the enemy's scout cavalry pat their horses and rush forward to chop them with swords. In Claude
In my eyes, anyone who does that is a fool...
It's a pity that the captain of this light cavalry brigade is a thorn. He still trains his men in the same way as the kingdom's light cavalry, thinking that is the correct way to train cavalry. Regarding Claude's request that he train cavalry to shoot on horseback,
Although he did not resist, the training effect was not very good. Michael once reported that the captain privately commented that Claude's training method of shooting and running away was actually the behavior of a coward. A real cavalry should not care about what is ahead.
Whether the enemy has thousands of troops, you must have the courage to draw your sword and charge forward...
Claude had already thought about deploying the light cavalry captain, but he couldn't think of a good successor for a while. He didn't want the division to send another cavalry officer with a head as traditional as granite to take up this position.
In fact, these so-called professional technical officers who have received the kingdom's traditional military education have one idea in their minds, as if the cavalry should fight to the death face to face with the enemy, and even dying on the battlefield is an honor...
In this era, the cavalry was not a threat at all due to its small size. A large group of light cavalry only had 280 people, and minus the two small groups of grooms, only about 250 people could fight. With this number of people and horses on the battlefield organized by the battalion,
It is impossible to make a frontal breakthrough at all, which is an act of death. In addition to sneak attacks on the enemy's artillery positions to prevent the enemy's light cavalry raids, the only remaining capable role is the role of the reconnaissance cavalry.
Therefore, Claude has no interest in the frontal breakthrough training and slashing training of the cavalry emphasized by the light cavalry captain in his battalion. Except for slashing and killing in the pursuit battle where the enemy is defeated, he will not let this light cavalry captain
The cavalry brigade went to carry out the task of attacking the position, so even if it won, it would be unknown how many light cavalry would be sacrificed...
What Claude wants is to let one of Murield, Diavid and Belklin take up the position of captain of the light cavalry, and then ask the division to send an infantry captain to replace the current one.
The captain of the light cavalry brigade was thrown back to his original cavalry unit. But he needed to know which of his three younger brothers was more suitable for the position of captain of the light cavalry brigade and who could train this light cavalry brigade into the model of the reconnaissance cavalry brigade he wanted.
.
Time passed very quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Claude decided to go to the division headquarters, meet with General Michelich, and eliminate the hidden danger of the light cavalry captain. At this moment, the communication
Lieutenant Mitchell, the staff officer, came in to report to him that he had received a message from the division headquarters, General Michelchi, to summon Claude.
What happened again? Isn't it that another legion is going to conduct some military exercise with the Ranger Division? Claude could only rush to the division headquarters in Fort Christo with his entourage, waiting for Michelchi.
The general's summons.
This time he didn't wait long outside the office. In less than five minutes, General Michelich let Claude into the office. He gave Claude a formal order that the 131st Ranger Battalion should break camp within three days and head to the Southwest 3rd Battalion.
County, the destination is Bailu City.
Claude was happy to be able to return to Bailu City to see his family again, but what was strange to Claude was that this time it was not a long-distance training, but that the 131st Ranger Battalion was going to be the pioneer of the entire division and go to Bailu City first.
Lucheng, and left garrison troops at important locations along the way.
"General, what happened?" An ominous premonition flashed through Claude's heart.
General Michelich sighed deeply and leaned on his chair. "Claude, I have some sad news for you. The war has broken out."
What are you talking about? The war broke out? Who was fighting against? The news was not even published in the newspapers! Claude looked at General Michelchi without knowing why.
"It's not here, it's on the mainland of Nubisia..." General Michelic smiled bitterly, "It was the colonial garrison of the Hicks Kingdom that declared war on the seven overseas territories of our kingdom. The Hicks Kingdom demanded our kingdom.
The jurisdiction of the three overseas territories of Cromwell, Beringana, and Robistos on the Nubisian continent was rejected by the kingdom, and the war broke out..."
"Then our division is going to the mainland of Nubisia?" Claude asked, thinking to himself, isn't our ranger division the guard force of the Sterling royal family? Why do wars in overseas colonies require us to fight? This is simply
It's so ridiculous...
"The Ministry of War said that the Eastern War has just ended three years ago, and the kingdom has no troops to dispatch. Our Ranger Division has no other tasks. It is a mobile armed force that can be immediately dispatched to the front lines of the Nubisian continent and has strong combat effectiveness.
, enough to resist the attack of the Hicks Kingdom's colonial garrison..." General Michelic looked at the ceiling seemingly helpless.
"There are no troops to dispatch? How is that possible! The kingdom does not have four ace field legions, but also three new standing legions..." Claude said angrily, he did not want to go to the continent of Nubicia.
"They can't be mobilized," General Michelich said calmly. "The newly occupied twenty-nine counties need three newly formed standing legions to suppress the place. The three ace field legions of Red Dragon, Blue Feather and Griffin are deployed.
At the border between the Kingdom of Nasseri and the Principality of Karnas, we must prevent the Kingdom of Hicks from invading our kingdom through these two countries..."
"But aren't the Imperial Guards still in the capital with nothing to do..."
"Haha, the Guards Corps..." General Michelic shook his head with a half-smile, "They used the excuse that they were defeated 0-4 by your Ranger 131st Battalion in the field battle drill last time, and they are conducting a large-scale military training.
A major rectification campaign. He also strongly recommended that our Ranger Division go to the Nubisia Continent to resist the attack of the colonial garrison of the Kingdom of Hicks. He declared that our Ranger Division could defeat ten against one and promoted the Royal Army in the Nubisia Continent.
"The great reputation"
"This, this is okay, it's too shameless..." Claude opened his mouth wide, but he didn't expect that his good performance in the military exercise would become a reason to go to the continent of Nubicia.
"Execute the order, Claude." General Michelich nodded at the official order on the table. "We have to go to the continent of Nubisia. The current situation is that the enemy has occupied most of Cromwell.
The territory directly under your jurisdiction is besieging the capital, Wickham Castle. The superiors decided to block the news and confine the war to the mainland of Nubisia to avoid causing panic among the people.
The purpose of our Ranger Group's combat is to teach the Kingdom of Hicks a harsh lesson on the Nubicia continent, so that the enemy will understand that an all-out war with the Kingdom will result in a lose-lose outcome, and in this way, we will force the enemy to sign a contract with us.
Armistice Peace Agreement. The Ministry of War promised to expand our Ranger Division into a corps after this war is over..."
