As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The royal capital has never been so efficient in giving a reply to the overseas war zone. On January 8, the war zone headquarters sent a hawk eagle message about the secret order of the eldest prince to Tiersim.
Then the communication department of Bailu City used a falcon to send the message to the royal capital and handed it over to the Kingdom's Army Department.
Now I received a reply from the Kingdom's Ministry of War on March 2nd. This is already very fast. It takes less than two months. After all, they are two continents separated by a vast ocean of silence. It's just that.
What the generals in the war zone didn't expect was that in reply to the above-mentioned secret order from the eldest prince, they only gave one sentence of approval and that was it...
There was no intention to appease, but there were some words of reprimand. It seemed that the generals in charge of the theater headquarters were told to stay calm and not to have any thoughts that they shouldn't have. The civil war in the kingdom's mainland will be settled soon, and in Sri Lanka
Under the wise leadership of Prince Trin XI, Prince Wedelek, the Kingdom's Army Ministry was confident and sure of wiping out the rebels.
It doesn't matter if the reply to the order is just these words. It seems that Claude and the others are asking for trouble by reporting the secret order of the eldest prince. Perhaps in the eyes of the big guys in the royal capital, a few people in the overseas direct-administered war zone
The general in charge must have been unwilling to be left alone and wanted to come out to make some headlines during the civil war in the kingdom, so he fabricated such a ridiculous lie as the secret order from the eldest prince.
The big guys in the royal capital simply don’t believe that Prince Hansback wants to cooperate with the Kingdom of Hicks. Why should the prince return the Port of Vibato and cede the two direct jurisdictions of Cromwell and Beringana?
?Just to allow the Hicks Kingdom’s Sea King Fleet and Combined Fleet to transport the Thunder Legion and Rock Legion back to the Kingdom’s homeland?
That is really a big joke. You must know that Prince Hansback now has the Blue Feather Legion and three standing legions, with a strength of more than 200,000. What he wants to do is to break through the defense line of the Odin Mountains, not to go to the distant place.
To transport two local second-line legions from the Nubisia continent, he had to pay high freight costs for the territory of three direct-administered territories. He was not a Kaizi...
Therefore, the prince's secret order that Claude and his gang reported to the Kingdom's Army Department was seen as a fabricated lie by the big guys in the royal capital. Their purpose was to get the royal capital to allocate funds to them for local development and construction.
Spending money to appease them is a disguised way of asking for money and is not worth advocating.
The reply sent from the royal capital not only scolded you for causing trouble, but also said that the kingdom is currently in financial difficulty and has no money to allocate. The next step is the key question. Even if you are far away in the overseas war zone directly under the jurisdiction of the country, you should still contact us.
The Kingdom is in trouble. Now that the colonial war has ended, the Kingdom's Ministry of War believes that it is not necessary to maintain the strength of more than 130,000 troops in two legions in overseas directly controlled theaters, and requires disarmament to reduce the burden of military expenditures...
At this moment, the generals in the war zone all felt as if they had been fed a sip. Instead of being loyal to the royal capital, they received instructions to disarmament. As generals, no one is willing to lay off their own troops. The royal capital's meaning is very simple. You
Don't we need funds for local development and construction? Let's disarmament. If we save military expenditures, wouldn't we have development funds...
Fortunately, the Kingdom's Ministry of War also knew that the Overseas Directly Administered Territory War Zone was far away on the mainland of Nubisia, and that the Kingdom of Hicks was still evil-minded, so they did not plan to reduce the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion into real local second-line empty-frame legions, but gave
A figure to the effect of disarmament. Each legion maintains a strength of 40,000 people. In this way, the two legions can reduce their number by 50,000 troops and save military expenditures of 150,000 to 60,000 gold crowns per year.
It was self-defeating. Claude swore that he would never do these tricks again. You can never guess what the big man is thinking. What you show is often the opposite of what he thinks. Just like this time with the big prince.
As for the secret order, Claude and the others reported it to the Royal Capital to show their loyalty, but in the eyes of the big bosses in the Royal Capital, it became a threat, so they slapped them conveniently and let the overseas direct-administered authorities
Don’t mess with the safety of the war zone...
General Bolognik was really frowning now. Unexpectedly, the reply from the royal capital gave an order to disarm. To put it bluntly, more than two million people were transferred from the two direct jurisdictions of Cromwell and Beringana.
Immigrants, among whom there are more than 100,000 young men suitable for conscription. This is still the young men in their twenties who have applied for military service. If you add the young men in their twenties to thirties, there will be even more. They are now looking forward to it eagerly.
With the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion recruiting troops vigorously, they must sign up to join the army to obtain a piece of land and property for their families.
If the war zone recruits 100,000 new soldiers now, then 500,000 or 600,000 immigrants will be resettled. Because as the direct family members of these new soldiers, they can take care of the 30 acres of farmland or 300 acres of pasture under the name of the new soldiers. At the same time,
It also greatly reduces the burden of the war zone on the daily life work of these legion officers and soldiers and their relatives. Of course, it is impossible for the war zone to recruit 100,000 new soldiers. It only plans to retire more than 10,000 veterans who have expired in the second half of the year, and at the same time recruit more than 10,000 new recruits to fill the gap.
vacancy.
Well now, not to mention more than 10,000 veterans have retired, another 40,000 troops have to be laid off. You must know that many immigrants are eyeing the quota of 10,000 retired veterans, waiting for an adult child in their family to become a recruit.
A member of the Communist Party of China, who contributes to obtaining a personal property for their family. If they knew that the quota for enlistment in the army was gone, they don’t know how much trouble these immigrants, who have no livelihood and can only work in public fields to earn a living, would cause.
Troubles...
"Let's talk about it, how should we disarm..." General Bolognik asked weakly. The royal capital has sent disarmament instructions, so you have to obey the order. It is not the overseas direct jurisdiction of Nubisia continent.
You can ignore it, otherwise it would be tantamount to rebellion.
General Albert touched his chin and said: "With the establishment of 40,000 troops, the royal capital's intention is very clear, that is, each of our legions will retain a fully-staffed division, and the other division will maintain an empty structure. When there is one in the future,
The war will continue to expand."
Needless to say, this is clearly understood by several generals present. The local second-line armies in the Kingdom are basically empty armies in peacetime. For example, there are four regiments in a division, and each regiment only retains one full field battalion.
, the remaining three regiments did not have a single soldier except officers. In case of local emergencies, it was the full field battalion that was dispatched. The other three battalions were just soy sauce characters and could only watch the excitement and shout "666".
.....
The problem is that it would be easier to handle if both the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion were empty armies. Now there are two divisions in one legion, and one division is fully staffed and the other is empty. Then the grassroots officers and officers in charge who are assigned to the empty arm divisions will feel uncomfortable.
The feeling of being abandoned. It seems that once you reach the empty-frame division, you will never get ahead again, and it is easy to give up on yourself. And the legion commander's attention will basically be on the fully-staffed division, and will not pay attention to the empty-frame division. In this way
It will have a very negative impact on the unity within the legion.
When he was in the advanced seminar of the military academy, Marshal Michelich commented on this empty-frame model. He believed that the most unfavorable situation is that one unit is fully staffed and the other is empty-framed. Because as the commander of the army, he often puts the most important things into consideration.
The elite soldiers and the best officers are assigned to the fully-staffed troops, while the lower-level soldiers and officers are assigned to the empty troops, artificially creating a class difference between the two troops.
As time goes by, fully-staffed troops will receive more and more attention from their commanders, and resources and attention will be tilted towards them. Empty troops will be increasingly ignored, and even the officers left behind will be discouraged and have no ambition to make progress.
.Even if the empty troops are expanded after a war breaks out, their combat effectiveness will be very different from that of the fully-staffed troops. They will often become a hindrance and even cause more serious harm...
"Forget it, let's not talk about how to adapt it. Think about what to do with the 50,000 people who were laid off. Are you going to let them retire and go home?" General Bolognik began to have a headache about the problem of the laid off soldiers. To put it harshly,
The soldiers were all members of the 100,000 immigrant families of retired soldiers. When they moved to the war zone, Amphiston Territory, one was to covet the property worth ten acres of land, and the other was to continue serving in order to obtain national status and improve their social status.
.
If disarmament begins now, these soldiers who have returned to service will become the first batch of targets to be laid off. Although they are laid off, they can still get thirty acres of farmland or 30 acres of land in the two direct territories of Cromwell and Beringana.
It is a personal property of 300 acres of pasture, but they will no longer be able to obtain national status, which will easily lead to trouble.
General Beachlin didn't care about the 50,000 soldiers who were about to be laid off. He believed that these laid-off soldiers could continue to serve. It's simple. Anyway, the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion belong to the kingdom's local second-line troops, so between the two legions
There is no difference between serving in the local garrison and being a soldier in the local garrison. The war zone can completely transfer the reduced soldiers to the local garrison. For example, five fortress-type castles such as Vibato Port, Patrese Port, and Wickham Castle are all
There is no local defense force, and the Silver City of Monkenad, which is about to start construction, also needs to deploy at least one local defense group.
General Beachlin believes that, in addition to the local garrison forces formed by General Chazolac in the Amphiston Direct Territory, the theater also has areas such as Robistoe, Beringana, Cromwell and Vibato Port.
None of the four directly-governed territories has deployed local garrison forces. The strategic locations of these four directly-governed territories are currently guarded by the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion. To a certain extent, this has also greatly dispersed the two legions.
The troops cannot be assembled into a powerful counterattack force.
Now that the royal capital has ordered the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion to disarm in order to reduce military expenditures, then these reduced soldiers can be transferred to local garrison forces. The two legions can also assign the tasks of garrisoning strategic locations in the four directly-administered territories to these local garrison forces.
.Assembling the legion's troops will be better able to cope with future wars launched by the Kingdom of Hicks in overseas territorial theaters.
This is a very good method. The downsized soldiers also have a place to go, and it is more comfortable to serve in local garrison armed forces. This is very attractive to the older soldiers in their thirties. Just now Bi Chiklin
If a local garrison regiment is deployed in each of the strategic locations reported by the general, the reduction quota of 50,000 people may not be enough...
However, this brings another problem. Even local garrison forces need military expenditures and weapons and equipment. The question is whether the war zone can come up with the military expenditures, firearms and ammunition to form local garrison forces. According to General Skerry’s calculations, several military expenditures and weapons and equipment in the war zone
The general suddenly discovered that if the local garrison forces of these four directly-administered territories were deployed first, then the war zone would not be reducing troops but expanding them.
The four directly governed territories need to form nine local garrison regiments. If the forces of these nine local garrison regiments are all converted from veterans of the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion, plus the more than 10,000 veterans who will retire in the second half of the year after serving, two
The legion still needs to recruit more than 20,000 new soldiers to fill the vacancies. This makes General Bolognik relieved. The young immigrants finally have hope.
In the next more than a month, the war zone was busy with disarmament matters. Which soldiers should be transferred to local garrison troops, and which officers should become the chief officers of local garrison regiments, all required the consideration of several generals in the war zone, and neither could the legions
The combat effectiveness of the two legions is affected, and the local garrison cannot be allowed to become a mob. In the plan of General Bolognik, Claude and others, the local garrison needs to become the reserve force of the two legions and can assist and supplement in future wars.
The role of...
In May, when the war zone was preparing to form nine local garrison regiments, a shocking news came from the Kingdom itself, and everyone who heard the news was shocked.
In late February of the 592nd year of the Holy Light Calendar, Prince Hansback united with the Sea King Fleet and the United Fleet of the Kingdom of Hicks to blockade the Dreadnought Fleet of the Kingdom of Overas at the two seaports of the former Kingdom of Sidings.
In the city. This was a sudden disaster for the Dreadnought Fleet. When Prince Hansback rebelled, he led his army along the land route to the Odin Mountains and ignored the coastal cities. The Dreadnought Fleet also relaxed its vigilance.
, they never expected that the eldest prince would suddenly come up with their idea.
Under attack from two sides, the Dreadnought Fleet was completely wiped out, and not even a small sampan escaped to report the news. The following March was the rainy season in the Farea continent. Under normal circumstances, the Dreadnought Fleet stayed at the base and did not go out to cruise.
, and the land and sea were tightly blockaded, so the navy in the royal capital was not alert.
As a result, after the rainy season in March, Prince Hansback led the Blue Feather Army and a standing army to board the transport ships of the Sea King Fleet and the United Fleet, and penetrated into the eastern waters of the kingdom. On April 5, it was less than 200 meters away from the Ibiniste Plain.
On a shallow beach in the sea, Prince Hansback ordered a landing. The leading soldiers of the two legions rowed ashore in small sampans, and then blocked off the large seaside area.
The supporters of Prince Hansbach, who had long been plotting, placed hundreds of large sealed empty wooden boxes near the beach. When the fleet arrived, they pushed the empty wooden boxes to the sea and connected them with iron rings.
Several pontoons floating on the sea surface and extending into the sea were quickly built. Once these long empty wooden box pontoons were connected to the transport ships, the large-scale landing began.
From April 5th to April 11th, for six full days, the Blue Feather Corps and the standing army landed ashore with almost no damage. The entire landing operation only lost three light infantry artillery pieces and six soldiers.
Anyone discovered that Prince Hansback led two legions from the sea to bypass the Odin Mountains and appeared in the hinterland of the kingdom.
On April 16, when Prince Hansback's troops entered the Ibiniste Plain in two groups, less than two days' journey from the royal capital, the royal capital, which had confirmed the news of the enemy attack, was like boiling water.
It became an uncontrollable mess.
No one would have thought that Prince Hansback would be so unexpectedly sent from the sky. In order to block him on the other side of the Odin Mountains, the royal capital sent all the guards there. Now the only ones left in the capital to garrison are the guards.
With less than one division of troops, they were powerless to fight back against two legions of enemies.
Prince Widrick, also known as Sterling XI, once again took advantage of his long legs and quick reaction. Before the big guys in the royal capital made a decision to hold on or evacuate, he had already taken his cronies with him overnight.
He fled to Bethalnia County with more than a dozen carriages and treasures. That is where the King's ace field army, the Red Dragon Army, is stationed. His father-in-law, Marshal Siegfried, is the current commander of the Red Dragon Army. There he
Safety can be guaranteed...
On April 17, the 592nd year of the Holy Light Calendar, the vanguard of the Blue Feather Army arrived at the royal capital. On April 18, Prince Hansback arrived at the royal capital. On April 21, the Great Prince Hansback arrived at the royal capital.
The prince entered the royal capital, and the Blue Feather Legion held a military parade in the royal capital triumphantly...
