I Will Be The Crowned King

Text Chapter 25 The Armed Forces of the Order

After a day and a half of investigation, Anson, who promised Lisa "just take her out" as promised, returned to the garrison with the satisfied girl.

At this time, the reconstruction work of the station has just entered the right track, and the scene is full of enthusiasm inside and out. Looking around, there are storm division soldiers sweating like rain everywhere, densely packed like an ant colony in an orderly manner, and the division of labor is orderly in the renovation. Peripheral retaining walls, dig trenches, and build simple artillery forts.

For every Clovis soldier, what they did most in their military career was not actually pulling the trigger, but marching under load and digging trenches; so over the years of war, both of these accumulated a great deal many standards.

Whether it is a temporary emergency shallow trench foxhole or artillery base, as long as it continues to be strengthened, more solid semi-permanent or even permanent fortifications can be built on its basis.

With the strength of the Storm Division, not to mention the Beluga Harbor, even the entire Ice Dragon Fjord cannot have a force that can resist it; but out of absolute caution, Anson and the entire Storm Division officers unanimously agreed to transform the station. Literally impregnable.

This is not only because of the sense of crisis caused by being far away from the mainland, which makes the storm division eager to have an absolutely safe base camp; it is also because the location of the station is really excellent, which is very suitable for building a fortress that radiates the sea and land space of Beluga Harbor at the same time.

Perhaps even the Beluga Harbor Council did not realize that the wasteland outside the city that they handily allocated to the Storm Division was so good; as long as three forts were built, the city, the port, and land traffic could be completely blocked, allowing the entire city and even the entire city to be blocked. The surrounding roads are all within the range of artillery attacks.

Of course, it is more likely that they did not expect that the mainland would really send an entire infantry division, and it was an infantry division that had just fought overseas and was rich enough to have two artillery companies and a cavalry battalion.

As the supervisor of the entire project, the former Guards officers had no experience in large-scale projects at all, but the captain of the artillery company, Captain Jeroshenko, was born in engineering and has a talent for visual distance measurement, so Fabian really only needs to Just a supervisor.

In addition to the refurbishment and reconstruction of the camp, various supporting facilities are also being constructed simultaneously; although it is far from the start of the August Arms Factory, Fabian still built a gun repair workshop, a lead bullet and gunpowder workshop in the camp. , a military uniform workshop and a shoe-making workshop... At the same time, the road dredging work has also been started simultaneously.

According to the expectations of the officer corps, the entire station will be put into use within two weeks at the earliest, and the heating facilities (fireplace and coal stove) and the most basic sanitary facilities will be completed in three days.

The only regret is that Anson's sewers and heating are really going to be postponed indefinitely - there is no way, whether it is a water supply pipe or a heating pipe, things that can be easily done in Clovis City will be done immediately when they arrive in the colony. become as difficult as the sky.

This is one of the reasons why Anson insists on setting up a steel plant in Beluga Port as soon as possible. It not only brings stable work and basic logistical support, but also has a huge impact on the local area, ranging from quality of life to productivity. There will be a qualitative leap in production capacity growth.

And as long as the steel mill is mastered, even if Anson and Talia do nothing next, the influence of the Rune family in Moby Dick and the entire colony will continue to grow day by day.

Of course, the premise is that Emperor Sejong is really willing to cooperate - without the army to ensure security, he would not dare to build such an important factory in Beluga Harbor.

"Bishop Ripper has agreed."

In the living room of the headquarters, Carl Bain, who had just returned from Beluga Harbor, said to Anson with a look of resentment: "The original words of the bishop are: If the garrison commander is really willing to serve all the devout believers living in the colony To provide security, he and all the cultists will do everything in their power to contribute to the Stormmaster's propaganda work."

"In addition, if necessary, the church in Beluga Harbor City can be used as a military station and outpost, all of which are leased to the Storm Division - I have a general understanding, there are about a dozen, all of which are located in the more important gathering areas and transportation hubs in the city. ."

Anson nodded slightly, the church should be built in the center of the gathering area and in a convenient location; especially for a place like the colony, it is likely that the entire community is built around the church.

"Then does he have any additional conditions?"

"Yes, just one." Carl raised his right index finger:

"The Storm Division is going to train a 'paramilitary' militia for the Ice Dragonfjord colony... er, to be precise, the followers of Bishop Ripper himself, and give them some weapons to enable them to protect yourself."

"Protect yourself?" An Sen was stunned.

In his memory, the Ecumenical Church is the most disgusting sect that interferes with the secular world, and it is not one of them. If it is possible that they do not even want to build a church, how can they think of establishing a private army belonging to the church like the Church of Order?

………………

"Because this is a colony."

Facing Carl Bain's confusion, Bishop Ripper's answer was only a complicated sigh.

"Although there have been more and more new immigrants in recent years, not all believers are as pious as you, Chief of Staff, and the garrison commander; for more people, believing in heretical gods is still a ring of order, the difference... Really Not much."

Bishop Ripper frowned: "What's more important is that even if we are both followers of the Ring of Order, there is not no disagreement with each other, and many contradictions even surpass the hatred of infidels... This is too sad. It's gone!"

That's right, who made you Universal Emperor jump out against the Holy See first, and you still refuse to stop until now. If you didn't go to the colony, you would have been expelled and killed... Carl Bain forced a smile:

"But what does this have to do with forming your own militia... I mean, the Storm Division can definitely provide for your personal safety."

"But even you can only aim at the infidels, right?" Bishop Ripper asked suddenly.

Um? !

Karl was immediately alert: "What do you mean?"

"Please don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not talking about pointing guns at those who share the same beliefs but have a few differences with us - even though they have done this to us in the past." Bishop Ripper explained:

"I just think that if there is such an army, it can greatly enhance the cohesion of believers in the Ring of Colonial Order; let everyone put aside disputes and unite under the same banner to fight for the future of the ordered world."

The chief of staff frowned: "Then who are you going to declare war on?"

No matter what kind of army, there must be an enemy, and even if there is no enemy, one must be created - this is all too clear to Carl Bane, who has been the culprit for many years.

"Of course it's a heretic!"

Bishop Ripper thought without hesitation, but after noticing Carl's expression, he smiled and changed the subject: "Of course, I am referring to those pagans who are hostile to the colonies; We will try to lead them in the right direction without resorting to violence."

Carl Bain said nothing, just nodded slightly in agreement.

What kind of nonsense promises not to take the initiative to use violence, he will believe it.

Once the local Church of the Ring of Order has its own armed forces, it is conceivable that the contradictions will be intensified; the suppressed infidels will definitely not give up, even if the entire Beluga Harbor and the entire Ice Dragon Fjord are plunged into civil war, it is nothing So weird.

But Carl didn't care about the life and death of the heretics, just as he didn't really care much about the life and death of the heretics in the colony; what he really hesitated to do was whether the chain reaction that followed would affect the Storm Division.

Once the church armed forces are organized, it is almost impossible to disband them; the last time the entire world of order united to reduce the power of the church, they fought a war of sectarian division that lasted for hundreds of years.

If this army expands uncontrollably, the Storm Division may well be forced into a meaningless war—not without precedent.

"It's just a slogan, a banner to unite all believers in the Ring of Colonial Order."

Bishop Ripper's eyes were extremely sincere, he smiled, and his eyes swept across the bare church with only the walls and the Ring of Order sculpture, and not even a few decent pews:

"In a new world full of primitives and crises, with traces of pagans everywhere, only this way can the believers of the Ring of Order put aside their disputes over the creed and teachings, and avoid the tragedy of cannibalism."

"That's my only request."

Carl's brows furrowed even more.

He glanced at the clear water in the glass that was about to freeze into ice cubes, and the creaking bench under him made his body feel uncomfortable from head to toe—at the end of December, when the snow was flying, it was leaking from all sides, and even a Being a guest in a church without a fireplace is no different than going to jail.

In contrast, the bishop, who was wearing a thick linen robe and had patches on his trousers, couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, as if he was really happy with this impoverished life.

"I... can agree to your request, but there is a precondition." Karl pressed his throat and deliberately said in a hoarse and low voice:

"The Storm Division can train you an armed force belonging to the believers of the Ring of Order, but the wartime command of this armed force must belong to the Storm Division; at the same time, without the permission of the Storm Division, no private actions are allowed, let alone the establishment of Church court or something!"

"If you can promise to do this, I can now replace the garrison commander and grant your request; but if there is difficulty, I can only..."

"No, nothing difficult."

Before the chief of staff could finish speaking, Bishop Ripper interrupted with a smile: "I can promise you now that without the permission of the garrison commander, I will never use this army, which belongs only to devout believers."

"Even so, I still suggest that you seek the opinion of the commander himself, what do you think?"

………………

"I think it's fine."

Anson said without hesitation: "As long as we ensure that the training and command of this armed force are all in our hands, we can promise him."

"you are serious?"

Karl was shocked: "This... This is a religious army. Once formed, don't expect to disband them! What's more, the bishop definitely wants more than..."

"Then do you think that if we don't agree, this army can't be formed?" Anson asked rhetorically.

"Uh……"

"Impossible, right?" Anson sighed softly:

"Since he dares to make this request, it shows that the bishop and the believers of Beluga Harbor have made up their minds; even if we refuse, we will only let them postpone for a few years at most, or find other forces to cooperate."

"The reason why I came to us is that apart from the fact that we outsiders urgently need his cooperation and it is better to negotiate, the Beluga Harbor Council may have rejected their request in this regard once."

"But refusing once doesn't mean refusing forever, not to mention that even if Beluga Port never agrees, wouldn't they really not do it?" Anson asked rhetorically.

Carl was stunned, and shook his head silently.

Of course not.

They will still form their own army, and because of the obstruction of external forces, their attitude will only be more radical than now.

"Since it's just a matter of time sooner or later, it's better to agree when they are just starting to prepare, so that they can have a little bit of initiative~www.readwn.com~ This also verifies his previous guess, that is the local church. The power of the White Whale Harbor Council may overlap, but the interests of the two parties are not completely aligned; otherwise, the Council would have no reason to prevent Bishop Ripper from forming an armed force composed of believers of the Ring of Order.

And Anson also has a bold idea, which is to use this army to infiltrate the power of the Rune family into the group of believers of the Ring of Order.

Since the other party has handed over the training and command to himself, as long as he can properly promote the Rune family, find a way to arrange some people, or directly develop some "more flexible thinking" young people...

After that, a lot of things will fall into place.

"Then how many people is this bishop going to train a church army?"

"Not very clear, but I think he seems to be somewhat contradictory." Carl speculated:

"On the one hand, he probably wants to form an elite army of two or three hundred people, but on the other hand, he also wants to form that kind of irregular militia. can participate."

Well, that is the difference between the Knights and the army of mad believers; Anson nodded: "If that's the case, then prepare for both - there should be a large-scale organization, and at the same time, elite troops can also act as grass-roots officers, so..."

Before An Sen could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door from outside the living room; a smiling young man who followed the little clerk walked into the room, took off his hat before opening his mouth, and gave An Sen a salute :

"Respected garrison commander, my master, Speaker Harold, has ordered me to come and invite you to the New Year's party at Beluga Harbor..."
