Rebirth: Romania Rising

Chapter 19 Assessment Competition

The two of them were riding in the same carriage and seemed to have a harmonious relationship, but I am afraid that only they themselves knew that they actually despised each other and neither one admired the other.

Because Yan is a young officer with a cheerful and lively personality, and is of mixed race, he has been living in a border city. Of course, he tends to cultivate young people and outsiders, such as Andrew, or talents from all over Romania, who can be called "young men" ”, representing the interests of emerging young officers.

John is just the opposite. He is a master inherited from the family and a powerful local in Bucharest.He represents the interests of local forces and those old officers with outdated ideas. He can be described as a "veteran" and likes to get close to Pavel, Brad and other close relatives.

But no matter how big the differences are in their origins, personalities and ages, the conflicts they accumulate in their daily lives are huge.Of course they remembered the rules of the army, so they never had any disagreements. On the contrary, General Bin Bai, General Chen Bai and other close associates fought happily.

John and Arn entered the military camp playground and sat down on the high platform. Andrew and Brad followed them and started chatting on the high platform.

As senior military officers, apart from some anecdotes, they talked more, of course, about the recent military operations in the Balkans.

"Have you seen the report in the newspaper this morning?" Old John said with a smile.

"Of course I saw it." Ion also put on a humble attitude of a younger generation and said with a smile: "Montenegro also joined the war against the Ottomans. The Balkan coalition forces attacked the Ottoman army in the battle of Kirkchelis and achieved great results! Bulgaria It is estimated that it now controls the entire Thrace."

"It's natural."

John said slowly: "After all, the Ottoman preparations are hasty, and Bulgaria is full of morale and has a great momentum of national liberation.

The Ottomans wanted to resist the trend of the times, but they were just trying to block the trend. It was normal for them to be defeated by the Balkan coalition. "

Yann was very excited: "The battle reports changed hands several times and were sent to the newspaper office several days later. Then the newspaper office issued the newspaper and spread it. Now I am afraid that the Ottoman army is gone, and the Balkan coalition has probably conquered Istanbul and marched into Asia!"

"Hahaha, at most the Ottomans can only rely on the mountains and terrain to continue to defend passively. If they continue to fight, there will be only severe winter. I think in two or three months, when the critical moment of spring plowing comes, the Ottomans cannot afford to delay, and he will find another way. International mediation by Britain and France..."

Yann changed his words and said with a serious face: "Although it is a good thing that the Ottomans were driven away, it has little to do with our country. But Bulgaria is bound to want hegemony in the Balkans, which is very dangerous.

The superior also mentioned in the letter that in recent years Bulgaria has been eager to pursue the so-called Greater Bulgaria dream and has often sent ordnance to Macedonia to harass the borders of neighboring countries. If it were not for the common enemy of the Ottomans, I am afraid that Serbia, Greece and Bulgaria would have fallen out long ago. We in Romania don’t care about this, but we must be on guard against our neighbor Bulgaria. "

John lowered his voice and said: "According to the Army Department, after defeating the Ottomans, the Balkan Alliance will definitely split."

"I'm afraid yes. Bulgaria has always relied on its own strength and wants to monopolize the entire Macedonia region. Serbia and Greece will definitely be dissatisfied by then. If foreign powers add fuel to the fire, then we in Romania will have to..."

Yan pointed at the new recruits and said with a smile: "Don't forget, the Romanian Army still has a constant supply of fresh blood!"

Thinking of this, Old John also breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Romania still has a place in the future."

"Yes, yes, the Ottomans have been kicked out of the European continent. Their disintegration and destruction are just around the corner. The disintegration of the Balkan Alliance is a matter of time. We need to wait patiently and train our soldiers hard on weekdays. By then, everything will be fine when we lead our troops to the war."

"Hahaha, what you say makes sense, but I don't know if some people will dare to go to the front line to kill the enemy when the time comes."

John's expression suddenly froze. This was obviously a mockery of the veteran faction who had been on the battlefield for a long time. They continued to stay in that position only because of their background and connections. They had stale ideas and were greedy for money and power.

"Hahaha, I also hope that after going to the battlefield, some people will not be defeated and beheaded..." This is another mockery of the young men's warlikeness and recklessness.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but there was no smile in their eyes, and they were each making their own plans.

Old John showed everywhere that he, as a veteran in the military, had a wide network of connections and was well-informed.

Yann avoided his sharp point and only talked about the war with him. At the end, he said, "I don't know if the elders still dare to go to the battlefield."

As we all know, it is certainly not in the interest of the elders to go into battle to kill the enemy under a hail of bullets.Once a war breaks out, a group of new officers will be promoted, while another group of veterans with mediocre abilities will be left out in the cold.

Although the two have common interests and requirements, they also have their own interests. As long as they don't point out each other, they can maintain a delicate balance in this conflict and cooperation relationship.

While they were chatting, all the queues in the military camp had gathered on the playground. The playground was instantly filled with people and was completely dark.

The two brigadiers stopped talking, then nodded to Andrew and Brad: "Let's start the competition and assessment!"

"Yes!"

The two of them replied in unison.

With whistles and shouts, the final assessment competition officially began.

The assessment is proceeding as planned...

"Ion, look at these teams of new recruits. The formation and order are the worst I have ever seen." Old John shook his head and said.

But he always says this is the worst class every year, and Yan actually doesn't pay much attention.

Starting from Group 0, seven or eight groups have successively demonstrated the training results of the past two weeks, such as simple basic skills such as standing in military posture, sitting in military posture, turning left and right, and marching and running.

As for combat training, such as target shooting, trench digging, basic tactics, etc., all officers and soldiers will be trained together in the next few weeks, and some training bombs and old guns will also be distributed.

If you want to really use more advanced weapons, you have to wait until you are officially recruited into the First and Second Corps. Romania's management of military standard weapons is still very strict.

However, in the view of Arn from the young group, these new recruits were very poorly trained in even the simplest basic formation skills. I am afraid they are really the worst class I have ever seen.

Group 0, the team led by Fatty Pavel, is the most normal group he has ever seen so far.

Pavel was guided by the old guy Brad, and the recruits he brought out were barely in order when they marched.It was okay when turning left and right. Only people were slow, so at least no one made a mistake.

The best Group 0 is like this, let alone other groups, their order is even worse.

Some of them were scattered, some were disorderly, and some were moving inconsistently and crookedly.Some even have the same hands and feet, walking on crutches, which makes people laugh and cry.Just turning left and right was enough to stump a group of people, making the recruits in other groups burst out laughing.

Seeing this situation and hearing the noisy jeers, Andrew's face darkened. He was specifically responsible for the training and training of new recruits, and tried hard to urge each group to strengthen training to avoid embarrassing himself in front of his superiors, but he did not expect that he would still behave like this!

Old John was not surprised and said from the side: "Don't worry, young man. After all, he is a new recruit. Some rural children are still illiterate and are more skilled at wielding a hoe than wielding a knife and a gun. You still want to do it in just two weeks?" Can they be trained into elite soldiers one by one?"

"Veterans are rare treasures and must be given to the elite First and Second Legions. How can the soldiers of our Third Legion be compared with the elite Legions?"

"It makes sense."

Yann could only suppress his anger. Among the ten groups, the recruits in Group 1 were trained quite normally. As for the other groups...if it weren't for the fact that his subordinate Andrew was in charge of the grassroots recruits, otherwise he would have put him in charge. Get out of here, let’s see who dares not to take military training seriously in the future!

Andrew looked at the face of his number one boss, Yan, and couldn't help but feel guilty, so he turned his attention to Victor - I'm relying on you to support him!

So, Andrew came over and said: "Two sirs, there is still a group that has not been assessed."
