Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 193 The unexpected captain candidate

“Boss, today is really cool, very happy to play… but unfortunately, we have to start training tomorrow, otherwise we can spend the night in the pub…” Berklin lying on the single bunk bed next to Claude .

In the afternoon, the four nobility children were crazy. Almost everyone called the two maids until they had dinner, and the legs were soft like noodles, and the stairs were lifted down the stairs, while Claude was I sat in the lobby of the pub for an afternoon and turned over the current news newspapers I bought from the bookstore two or three times. I also had a certain understanding of the current situation in Kingdom and the situation in the eastern countries of Freia Continent.

After dinner in the pub, Claude settled and pulled four nobility children who didn’t want to go back so early and called the carriage back to the barracks. In the evening, the four younger brothers are still relishing the passion and debauchery of the afternoon. Claude is thinking about the information obtained from the news newspapers of current affairs.

It seems that the situation in the eastern part of the mainland has become more and more chaotic and unpredictable. After the organization of funds to develop Whitestag town to build the storm fleet, it took only three months to clear the pirate gangs along the way to the new route in Nubissia. Basically, the safety of the new route has been guaranteed.

On October 25, a fleet of more than 150 ocean-going merchant ships, under the escort of a naval sub-fleet, had already departed for overseas direct administration to the mainland of Nubissia. The size of the fleet has reached the previous year. Three times as many as the “Blood Way” fleet…

Only in this way, the joint fleet of the five anti-Austrian Union countries invested in huge capital has lost its use. In the past, the combined fleet could also block the Kingdom of Aueras’s route to Numissia, forcing the Kingdom of Aueras to pay a high price to maintain the sea lifeline and get a slice of it. The days were very good.

But now the Kingdom of Aueras gave up the old route and opened up new routes. The joint fleet formed by the anti-African alliance can only fish at sea. The hard time has come, without the toll paid by Kingdom of Aueras. For the Dukedom, Eskilin Dukedom and Rimondra Dukedom, the huge sea fleet has become a financial burden. In the mainland of Nubissia, the three Dukedoms had no colonies, and the three powerful Dukedoms had a fierce dispute over the future of the combined fleet.

If it wasn’t for the Kingdom of Nasri’s contribution to stabilize its alliance, maybe the joint fleet would have been disbanded. At sea, the United Fleet of the Kingdom of Nasri and the Eastern Four Dukedom is the only armed force that can outperform the Kingdom of Aueras. On land, the five anti-Austrian countries understand that they are weak chickens. What they can do is to establish defensive levels and fortresses in strategic locations and traffic routes to achieve the purpose of killing and delaying time.

In the past more than half a year, the anti-Aotong League has invaded the eastern waters of Kingdom for more than ten times in pursuit of pirates, winds and waves, lost directions, and even pretending to be pirates to rob the towns adjacent to the eastern seas, causing great losses. The Kingdom of Aueras has already presented the most rigorous warnings and protests to the Anti-Austrian League, which is almost on the verge of declaration of war.

Claude is very surprised why the five anti-Audiatic countries will provoke the Kingdom of Aueras at sea, but a newspaper that has expired in a month has posted a message that Claude understands what is fearless. The newspaper said that the northern powerhouse Hicks Kingdom and Kingdom of Nasri reached a military transport agreement, and Hicks Kingdom will send a field army of more than 50,000 troops to entrust the anti-African alliance’s joint fleet to escort them to the mainland of Nubissia as a suppression colony. Riot armed forces.

On the mainland of Nubissia, the Kingdom of Nasri occupies a small colony that is equivalent to an overseas direct jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Aueras, and many places are barren. If the war broke out, it was clear that the colony would soon be occupied by the Overseas Dispatching Force of the Kingdom of Aueras. Therefore, Kingdom of Nasri’s attitude towards this colony is love and hate. They need to obtain income from the colony. They are limited to the environment and conditions and cannot send heavy troops to defend. Only two battalions are deployed to maintain the order’s law and order.

However, the neighbourhood of the Kingdom of Nasri, the Hicks Kingdom, has a large colony on the mainland of Nubissia and is the second largest colony except the Kingdom of Aueras. It’s just that the colony of Hicks Kingdom is inland and the coastal area lacks a good port, so Hicks Kingdom has never paid much attention to this colony because its original purpose was to mine, thus ignoring the occupation of the coastal zone. The last mined minerals will be transported from colonial ports in other countries.

The news from this expired newspaper can conclude that Kingdom of Nasri is sure to have a secret military cooperation agreement with Hicks Kingdom. The northern powerhouse of the mainland, Hicks Kingdom, sent a field army to the mainland of Nubissia, which was sure to transport the logistics and supplies through the colony of the city of Vibator in Kingdom of Nasri. After all, their own colonies do not have such a good port as Vibatato. Several small coastal ports can only make small noises. It is no problem to get a few small fishing boats to fish, but there is no way to park those deep-water oceangoing vessels.

In addition, the dispatch of a field army to the mainland of Nubissia by Hicks Kingdom also poses a de facto security threat to the seven overseas colonies of the Kingdom of Aueras. Although the seven overseas governing bodies of the Kingdom of Aueras have more than 100,000 troops, but because of the large area of ​​overseas direct jurisdiction, the more than 100,000 troops have lost their military superiority, and most of these troops belong to the second line or It is the nature of the three-line garrison, and it is obviously not as good as the field army sent by Hicks Kingdom.

What worried the top of the Kingdom of Aueras was whether the Kingdom of Nasri would pack the colony on the mainland of Nubissia to Hicks Kingdom. For the Kingdom of Nasri, the colony was a chicken rib, mostly a barren land. The only production is a silver mine, known as the city of Montana in the silver city, and an excellent deep-water port city of Vibator. Nothing else is commendable. Even the cultivation of food is insufficient. Every year, it is necessary to transport food from the Kingdom of Nasri to the colonies, or to send caravans to purchase large quantities of ingredients from other colonies.

If Hicks Kingdom packaged the colony of Kingdom of Nasri, the seven overseas governors of Hicks Kingdom and Kingdom of Aueras were connected. When the war in the eastern part of the continent broke out, Hicks Kingdom would join the anti-Africa alliance. Although there is no need to worry about sending troops to the war on Freia Continent, on the continent of Nubissia, the field army of Hicks Kingdom can fully compete with the Kingdom of Aueras. Seven overseas direct jurisdictions launched an offensive.

At that time, Kingdom had to deal with the war in the eastern part of the continent and the war in the mainland of Numissia. It is likely that it would lose sight of one another and fall into a situation of insufficient strength and stamina. For the high-level people of Kingdom, this is a dilemma. Unless the enemy’s army and strength are not fully in place, the war will be waged first, and an enemy will be defeated as soon as possible, and the enemy on the other side will be spared.

Claude certainly can’t see these big changes and the changes in the situation. He only draws a conclusion from these newspapers, that is, the war is inevitable, and he will eventually go to the battlefield.

Claude, who came to this conclusion, was in a bad mood, and her hands were lying in bed behind her head in a daze. Abeev, who is also in the lower bunk, couldn’t sleep. He asked: “Boss, what do you want to train for the training of the non-commissioned officers at the beginning of the day? Just after the training of the new recruits, it is necessary to train the non-commissioned officers. It feels really troublesome to think of it, not as good as in the military camp. Ordinary soldiers can go out to play every 10 days…”

“Train what, train you how to manage the recruits. Didn’t you listen to Dr. Perent in the morning? The Blue Feather Legion has now officially started to recruit and expand. It is divided into four batches, and five or six thousand people are recruited every month. When we have finished training, we are just receiving the last batch of recruits. What we are going to train is how to teach the recruits who have just been enlisted like the instructors who are instructed to teach us when the recruits are training. If you don’t receive training, you will be taken now. A team of recruits, do you have confidence in managing them?” Claude said with no anger.

“This is the case, I have never thought that I can bring a new team of soldiers.” Aberev screamed, suddenly thinking of a question “but the boss, so we are going to be separated? I still want to stay with you all the time.” nearby……”

“Of course, we must be separated. Not only the boss, but even we and you will be separated. After that, you will become the boss of the recruits. We may be in a battalion if we are lucky. If we are bad, we may not be in the same military camp. “Bellklin said by the side: “Maybe in a few years, we are not in the Blue Feather Legion. From this day, each side will be treated as a stranger. When you meet again, you may have to salute me and call me the General of the General… …”

The words of Berklin caused a low laugh in the tent. Abeev was furious and snarled. He grabbed the pillow and threw it away: “Roll, you think you will become a general, do your big dreams! In this way, General of Kingdom can form a field army.”

Claude shook his head, the idea was beautiful, but it was very difficult to achieve. At the foot of each of King’s generals, there were thousands of bones. Before you go to the battlefield, you can expect to make a glory, but on the cruel battlefield, all you can do is pray that you can live peacefully, especially the new recruits like these cannons…

“Right, boss, I heard a message.” Berklin ended the fight with Aberev, returned the stolen pillow to him, and returned to the bed and said.

“What is the news?”

“The hunter’s non-commissioned officers training is not over? I heard that the instructors took out the top 50 outstanding hunters and prepared them to serve as the officers of our recruits. They set an example and let us know how they brought new recruits. ”

“What did you hear from this news?” Claude asked.

“The Mozor is talking to the people, I just passed by, and I heard it inadvertently.” Berklin answered.

“That should be true. We will know tomorrow morning. You should also learn from those hunters. After all, we have only been in the army for three months. If we don’t accept training, it will be troublesome to bring new recruits. If you live in the recruits, you will make a joke. If you do, don’t talk, sleep well, and get up early tomorrow!”

Nothing in the night.

After the breakfast the next day, the collection number blew and all the recruits went to the playground to gather. Sure enough, a team of about 50 people hunter is standing there neatly waiting for the arrival of the instructors.

The chief instructor of the non-commissioned officer training was not a Mousts lieutenant, but was replaced by a captain named Max. It is likely that Captain Max was coming from the camp of the Blue Feather Legion. Claude saw the Military Law Division. Lieutenant of Delhi will also be respectful behind him, and his cold face is filled with a reserved smile.

Captain Max has a feeling of lack of sleep and tiredness. He stood in front of the recruits for only a few minutes and announced that each team’s recruits would accept a hunter sergeant as the captain and encourage all The recruits must learn from their team leader and strive to become a qualified non-commissioned officer as soon as possible.

Claude was a little bored watching a hunter come to the ranks of the recruits and temporarily served as the captain of the team. Soon, a hunter came to Claude, who smiled and showed his white teeth: “I said, Claude, we will meet soon…”

It turned out that the captain of the recruit team of Claude turned out to be Sergeant Fitney, but his current epaulettes have been changed from the vertical three red straight sergeant ranks to two horizontal red wavy lines. This is the sergeant. symbols of……
