"General, the local administrator of Rodex Bay City and the commander of the local garrison came to visit early in the morning. They have been waiting for nearly an hour." The adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Anders, was still sobbing just after getting up from the camp bed.
Reported by yawning Claude.
"Huh?" Claude was stunned: "What are they here for?"
Last night, Claude didn't close his eyes until after four o'clock. He randomly found an unoccupied tent in the camp, found a single camp bed that looked very clean, and fell down to sleep. Now he looked at the sky, it was almost nine o'clock.
I asked Lieutenant Colonel Anders and the answer he got was nine twenty-three. So the people from Rodex Bay City came at eight o'clock. Why are you in such a hurry?
Claude wiped his face casually, picked up the warm milk that Lieutenant Colonel Anders asked the orderly to bring and drank it in one gulp. After drinking it, he belatedly asked where the milk came from? Lieutenant Colonel Anders
Answer: There are three Hobic cows raised in the general logistics base camp of the Hicks. According to the prisoners, they are specially used by senior officers. They drink alcohol at night and have an upset stomach in the morning. They need some milk to nourish them.
Keep warm...
Claude was speechless, wondering whether these senior officers of the Hicks people were here to fight or travel. The military camp even raised cows for them. As the first kingdom lieutenant general in the direct-administered war zone, Claude led
The Thunder Legion has been eating dry marching rations for more than half a month since it set off from the northern coastal mountainous area, just like the soldiers. The only preferential treatment is unlimited black tea, as long as the troops make it for themselves during rest...
...
Perhaps this is the difference between him now standing in their general logistics base camp and those senior Hicks officers can only hide in Rodex Bay City. Claude no longer thinks about it and just said it in a few words.
He swept away the bread and dried meat that had been delivered to him. Then he rinsed his mouth, straightened his military uniform, and asked Lieutenant Colonel Anders to take him to meet the local chief executive from Rodex Bay City and the man who was very happy last night.
Akechi did not allow himself to find a reason to attack the garrison commander.
"By the way, have Colonel Murield's second regiment and Colonel Diaverde's third regiment set off?" Claude asked.
Lieutenant Colonel Anders replied: "We have already set off. We left at six o'clock in the morning without disturbing anyone in Rodex Bay City."
The three battalions of the 1302nd Thunder Regiment and the 1303rd Thunder Regiment, equipped with new rifles, left the general logistics base without a good rest, mainly to ambush enemies who were likely to come to rescue them. They captured it last night
After arriving at the camp, we discovered that all the harriers used for communications in the camp had been released by the communications soldiers who stayed behind.
Although he didn’t know whether the few signal soldiers who were killed had sent out a message asking for help, Claude still did not dare to be careless and decided to let Murield’s second regiment and Diavid’s third regiment set off early for the scheduled mission.
Set up an ambush at the right location. Because the falcon flies in the air, it takes most of a day to reach the camps on the northern and eastern borders. The enemy is likely to send reinforcements overnight.
Rodex Bay Colony is a plain area with fertile water and soil. If you want to ambush the enemy, you must need a good ambush location and good disguise. Otherwise, it will be easy to fail if the enemy detects it. So Claude can only let Murray Ed and Dee
The two of them, Yavid, worked harder and arrived at the predetermined location earlier to make preparations for the ambush so that they could annihilate another Hicks reinforcement.
Several visitors from the United Kingdom of Fox Islands in the big tent did not feel anxious because they had been waiting for nearly an hour. Instead, they sipped black tea and carefully looked at the soldiers of the Thunder Legion in the distance, secretly assessing these Kingdom of Ovilas.
The gap in combat effectiveness between soldiers in overseas territorial theaters and Hicks standing legionnaires...
"...Their behavior is very standardized. Look over there, two soldiers walking together are in a row, and the amplitude and pace of their arms are almost the same. Five soldiers over there are in a single queue.
The gap between each soldier is almost the same distance. Gentlemen, this is their own military camp. If it were those Hicks, we would see them quarreling, laughing and playing. This is almost all
The most common scene in military camps in mainland China.
But there is no such common sight here. Although this is the enemy camp they captured last night, the expressions on their faces are very relaxed and there is no feeling of tension or worry. It is obvious that this camp is fully controlled by them.
.So, under such circumstances, they can still maintain the behavioral norms of soldiers. It is obvious that long-term training has integrated discipline and restraint into their bodies. I have to admit that this is the most disciplined army I have ever seen.
, no wonder those Hicks veterans we thought were strong were not their opponents..."
A local administrative official in Rodex Bay City was somewhat dissatisfied with Lieutenant Colonel Lemando's praise of the Thunder Legion soldiers. He retorted: "They are just the army. Compared with the naval officers of our kingdom, their discipline and soldier quality are not
Worth mentioning."
In the United Kingdom of Fox Islands, the navy always overrides the army. The so-called army of the United Kingdom is actually the local garrison force. Lieutenant Colonel Le Mando shook his head: "That's different. The naval strength of our United Kingdom is that of the entire Farea."
The most powerful countries in the continent are partly due to our bloodline. We are the descendants of the sea. The other half is the inheritance of our ancestors.
Thousands of years ago, our ancestors drove small sea boats across the oceans. They left all their knowledge about sea navigation to us, so we established an invincible maritime fleet. The disciplines and doctrines on the warships of our United Kingdom Maritime Fleet are
The most complicated thing is that there are clear regulations on food, clothing, housing and transportation on board.
But there is no way. The risks on the sea are constantly changing and no one can predict it. Whether we are trainee sailors or captains, we must unite together and make every effort to deal with these disasters and dangers. The inheritance of knowledge from our ancestors has left us enough
Experience and lessons enable us to calmly deal with all dangers at sea.
The sea is boundless, and a sea-going ship is only so big and has so many people. We have to adapt to and abide by those cumbersome rules and regulations. Because we know in our hearts that these rules, regulations and regulations are all for
We can return home safely and see our families, which is why the discipline and quality of our naval officers are the best."
Everyone present knew the origin of Lieutenant Colonel Le Mando and the reason why he served as the commander of the local garrison battalion in Rodex Bay City, so no one could refute what he said. It was the truth.
Lieutenant Colonel Lemando shook his head and continued: "Compared with our navy, our army is a mess. Whether it is discipline or troop training, almost no one cares about it, and no one cares about it. The Army Department of the United Kingdom
The supervisor is a pension position, and he is not even as valued by the United Kingdom as a battleship captain.
In the eyes of other countries on the mainland, our army is just a local garrison, dealing with thieves, drunkards and criminals. When we saw those Hicks veterans, we thought this was the most elite army, but last night I saw
That night attack really overturned my impression of the elite.
I never thought that the Hicks Kingdom army, which we thought had the most capable veterans, could resist such an army for less than an hour before being captured by the entire logistics base camp. This is what we witnessed with our own eyes.
A real battle example, a real night attack battle that happened in front of me, made me understand what it means to be a real elite army.
Now that I have come here, I have discovered the real reason. The most respected naval marshal of the United Kingdom, Duke Schabotav, once said that strict military discipline means strong combat effectiveness. I think,
This sentence should be universal in both the navy and the army. Compared with these soldiers in the Overseas Territory War Zone directly under the Kingdom of Overas, those Hicks veterans who look tough actually behave like a rabble."
"But Lieutenant Colonel Lemando, haven't you noticed that there don't seem to be many soldiers from the Overseas Directly Administered Territory of the Overas Kingdom in this camp..." Another local administrative official reminded
.
Lieutenant Colonel Lemando smiled bitterly and said: "I have discovered it a long time ago. I estimate that they only have about two regiments of troops here. I don't know if there are troops in other places. We all know that the Hicks stay here.
There is a division of garrison troops in the camp. If the Overseas Territory War Zone of the Kingdom of Overas really uses only two regiments to launch a night attack and annihilate this division of Hicks, then I will only take their
The combat power will be doubled again..."
Claude soon arrived at the big tent, and the local administrative officials and garrison commanders of the Fox Islands United Kingdom in Rodex Bay City stopped their whispers and welcomed Claude with a warm and respectful attitude.
The arrival of Victory and loud tribute to Victor won an extraordinary victory, which can be remembered in the war history books of the Faslan world.
Claude waved his hand: "Gentlemen, I understand the neutral position of your United Kingdom, so I restrain the soldiers not to offend the dignity of the United Kingdom of Fox Islands. If you have anything to say, please speak directly. I want to know the purpose of your visit.
What it is, I'm very busy, it's true, I believe you can understand. After all, we have just captured this Hicks logistics base camp, and there are many things that I need to deal with..."
These local officials from Rodex Bay City came to visit mainly for three things. First, they hope to relax control on the roads outside Rodex Bay City. Many residents in the city make their livelihood outside the city. Now it is evening
Although they all live in the city, they still have to take care of the farms or orchards during the day, and go fishing on the bay and beach. The Thunder Legion set up an inspection checkpoint on the road a few hundred meters away from the city gate, which is equivalent to
The city residents were imprisoned in the city.
The second thing is that some residents in the city have accepted employment from the Hicks, such as cooks, servants, etc., and are usually busy in the camp. These local administrative officials want to know whether they were encountered in the night attack last night.
He was overly injured and asked Claude if he could release these city residents who were just working for the Hicks.
The last thing is that the general logistics base of the Hicks people used to be here. Some residents in the city would set up small stalls in the open space at the entrance of the camp, so that Hicks soldiers who could not enter the city could buy and sell at the entrance of the military camp.
Some people even set up Fengyue tents, and business was very good. For the residents in the city, no matter who occupied the camp, they would buy and sell when they needed it. So these local administrative officials hope that the new occupiers will not make it difficult
Those small city vendors who set up stalls at the gate of Daying...
For Claude, the first thing was easy to solve. He agreed to the request of these local administrative officials, relaxed the control of the roads, and allowed those residents in the city to go out of the city to do their own business. As for the second thing
, Claude explained that the soldiers of the Thunder Legion are all well-trained and qualified soldiers, and they will never kill innocent people indiscriminately. Even in night attacks, they target enemies wearing Hicks uniforms.
, instead of shooting when seeing someone.
As for the last thing, Claude said with a smile that the soldiers of the Thunder Legion were not soldiers of the Kingdom of Hicks. He advised the vendors and residents in the city not to set up stalls in the open space outside the camp. He promised that there would be no business. Of course.
, it is their own business to set up a stall, but the soldiers of the Thunder Legion are disciplined and it is impossible to conduct business outside the camp...
Although the local administrative officials of Rodex Bay City did not quite believe Claude's words, they still praised the Thunder Legion for its strict military discipline and that it was really a model for soldiers. So they presented a gift note to express their hard work along the way.
Send some wine and meat to express condolences. In addition to cattle, sheep, fruits, fine flour, fruits and fine wine, there are also gold coins worth more than 20,000 gold crowns. It is said to be labor, but in fact it is public relations that everyone knows
cost.
Claude's idea to visit Rodex Bay City last night was due to two reasons. One was that the senior officers of the Hicks were in the city, and the other was that the Hicks Kingdom had a sum of two million gold gram shields.
The military funds are stored in the Union Bank in the city. When I checked the financial office after occupying the camp yesterday, I found that there was only more than 400,000 gold crowns in cash stored there.
Colonel Belklin grabbed an adjutant on duty and interrogated him. As a result, the adjutant of the Finance Department immediately confessed that the Hicks Kingdom had stored a military expenditure of two million gold gram shields in the city's Union Bank account to pay for purchases.
The transfer of items and the salaries of officers and soldiers are safer than putting them in a military warehouse. At least they won't be placed in a warehouse, and 10% of the storage loss will be inexplicably reduced. In the end, one million can only be used as 900,000.
use......
So Colonel Belklin immediately came up with an idea, deliberately letting hundreds of captured Hicks soldiers escape, hoping that Rodex Bay City would accept them and let them enter the city. Then the Thunder Legion could legitimately launch an attack.
By occupying Rodex Bay City, in addition to hunting down the senior Hicks officers in the city, you can also get the Hicks Kingdom's military expenses from the United Bank into your own hands...
It's a pity that Lieutenant Colonel Le Mando of Rodex Bay City was very wise and refused to open the door forcefully, avoiding the fate of the city being destroyed. The public relations fee of 20,000 gold crowns is now sent, and the meaning is obvious, hoping that Cloro
Don't bother with Rodex Bay City anymore. Just turn a blind eye to some things.
Claude smiled, picked up a pen and changed the number of 20,000 gold crowns on the gift list to 100,000: "At least one soldier of our Thunder Legion should be rewarded with one gold crown, and the officers should also be rewarded according to their military rank.
Double the reward, so I think this number is a very reasonable reward. Of course, I am not forcing you Rodex Bay City to pay this bounty. I know that the senior officers of Hicks are staying in the city, and there is still money in the bank.
There is a huge military expenditure.
Maybe you can go back and discuss with them. If they are unwilling to pay for the reward, you can tell them that due to your declaration of neutrality by the United Kingdom, there cannot be soldiers from both sides in Rodex Bay City. Therefore, they will not
If you are willing to pay this money, you can send them out of the city, and we will wait for their arrival outside the city. As for how much money they will pay to keep them in the city, I have no control over that, I only want this number!"
All the local administrative officials of Rodex Bay City looked a little dumbfounded, staring at Claude stupidly, saying to themselves that you captured the Hicks camp and annihilated the Hicks troops, and now you are still
Want the Hicks to pay you to reward your soldiers?
However, local administrative officials soon realized what Claude meant. This was indeed a good opportunity for extortion. Those senior Hicks officers who stayed in the city had become big fat sheep. They were very
It’s suitable for everyone to go up and take a bite. After a while of whispering, the local administrative officials present unanimously stated that they would try their best to persuade Hicks’ senior officers to take out a bounty from the Union Bank to reward the soldiers of the Thunder Legion, and never let everyone run away in vain
One trip.
Now that the secret deal has been negotiated, the adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Anders, also came in to report that Colonel Belkerin also sorted out the city residents who were working in the camp from the prisoners. Look at the list.
That's right. It's just that two unlucky guys were hit by stray bullets in the night raid last night. After initial treatment, their lives were not in danger. They just had to suffer for two or three months and had to spend money to buy them at the pharmacy.
Healing Potions...
So these local administrative officials of Rodex Bay City were ready to leave, but Claude stopped Lieutenant Colonel Lemando and asked a question in front of everyone present, that is, he occupied the camp.
A lot of Hicks weapons and ammunition have been seized. I wonder if the Army of the United Kingdom of Fox Islands is interested in purchasing a batch of Hicks Kingdom arms and equipment from itself to replace their outdated weapons?
This is what Claude saw from the monocular last night. In fact, the United Kingdom of the Fox Islands does not pay much attention to the army. Claude discovered that the soldiers in the local garrison on the city wall were holding very backward match ropes.
The gun is equivalent to the Obash Type 1 standard matchlock gun equipped by the Kingdom of Overas twenty or thirty years ago. It is a very outdated weapon.
Although the matchlocks equipped by the Hicks Kingdom are not as good as the Obas III matchlocks, they are advanced precision aiming and shooting weapons after all, and are more advanced than the matchlocks held by the soldiers of the local garrison in Rodex Bay City.
One or two generations later. Anyway, the weapons of the Kingdom of Hicks are of little use in the war zone, and Claude cannot take them away, so he can only set them on fire.
In the spirit of fighting both with and without dates, Claude set his sights on the local garrison camp in Rodex Bay City...
