Rebirth: Romania Rising

"Victor is here." When Victor walked to the camp, he happened to hear two officers whispering, and the person they were talking about was himself...

Seeing Victor approaching, the two princes and generals wearing plate crowns immediately stopped talking, but their eyes were still communicating, and their glances at Victor were full of banter.

Victor ignored the two of them and sat cross-legged beside them.A few days ago, with his neat housekeeping and outstanding performance during training exercises, Victor successfully attracted Mihai's attention, and later ordered him to be transferred to the directly affiliated "Guard Flag Team".

The so-called guard flag corps is not the vanguard that charges into battle, but the personal guards directly under the officer.After all, it is impossible for senior officers to stand in the front row and take risks personally. They are more likely to command the officers and soldiers under them to charge into battle. At this time, officers must also have people around them to protect them, so there is a flag guard.

The standard guard is generally one-tenth of the total number of soldiers under the command of an officer.The higher the position, the more guards around you.As a colonel, Victor's current position is equivalent to the commander of a guard company in later generations. His duty is no longer to train the army, but to protect the safety of Mihai, the "prince".

After getting this position, Victor was of course very happy. Although the chance of beheading the enemy and meritorious deeds for the Guards Flag Team were reduced, they also avoided heavy casualties.

And where is the safest place in the military?There is no doubt that it is by the side of the general and noble.Unless Victor violated a principled issue, Mihai would kick him out of the standard guard unit.

After getting this position, Victor was of course very happy. Although the chance of killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds for the Guards Flag Team were reduced, they also avoided heavy casualties.

After the war, where is the safest place on the battlefield?There is no doubt that it is by the side of the generals and nobles.Unless the battle reaches an extremely anxious level, they will be sent out to be the main force, otherwise there are few opportunities for direct combat.

But there are exceptions, and that is Mihai's unfortunate death in battle.Military law stipulates that if a general is killed in battle, all of them, the flag guard, will be exiled and executed.At this moment, Victor's fate and future are already tied to Mihai.

"After all, he is the king's grandnephew and a senior general in the army, so it is not that difficult for accidents to happen." Victor felt a stone fall in his heart. In this way, he was closer to his minimum requirement of "avoiding death" in the world war. One step forward.But Mihai also had his own plans when he transferred Victor to his own flag guard unit.

The day after Victor reported for duty, Mihai praised him in front of everyone for his "housekeeping" training, and then asked his officers to use this method in accordance with Victor's experience. Promoted throughout the Third Legion...

Mihai is a person who likes uniformity and believes that details are enough to determine success or failure. However, he also knows that it is unrealistic to implement quilt quilts in the entire army, so he first tried it with the guards from the capital.

Unexpectedly, this caused Victor to get a lot of complaints. Not everyone could understand why he had to go to such unnecessary lengths in the morning, and even several captains criticized Victor slightly for this.

They whispered in Guanzhong dialect that these hundred captains were all from the capital without exception.Either they are children of nobles who have held titles for generations, or they are descendants of nobles with a long history that can be traced back hundreds of years. Two of them have rotated in the palace and served as royal guards.

The means of transportation for these people are horses and cars.They were much more noble than the Yinlun troops that Victor once commanded. Their clothes were also made of excellent quality fabrics. They were both Dacians, but their skin color was even better than that of Victor who had grown up in the land. There are many civilians who work there and are exposed to the sun.

When Victor, a man from a northern county without any family background or aristocratic status, squeezed into this circle, he was immediately isolated and excluded.They looked polite, with slight smiles on their lips, but the eyes they looked at Victor were filled with disdain and contempt.

Victor didn't get angry because of this. He just sat on the side where he was not gregarious with the others. As a newcomer, he should be cautious about his words and actions.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the camp again, and a sweaty young man walked in. Instead of joining the chat of the four people next to him, he sat down next to Victor.

"Almost late again."

Among the captains of the Guard Flag Team, not everyone rejected Victor. There was one exception, and that was Yuga next to him.Yuga is not young, only in his 20s, but his beard has already climbed up his cheeks. Compared with his slightly immature face, the huge contrast has become his trademark.

After he sat down, he was still taking care of his clothes and complained: "When you get up, you not only have to wash up and keep up your appearance, but you also have to fold the quilt. Victor, this is all your fault."

This was a joke without any malice. Victor smiled and wanted to say a few words. At this time, the commander in charge of them also came in.Everyone stood up immediately.

"Today, General Mihay's account will be on duty... let Yuga and the newly arrived Ion Antonescu take charge."

When he read the words "newcomer", the four people on the side looked at each other again and smiled meaningfully...

Victor knew what they were laughing at.

They laughed at him as "a person with a surname but no real identity."

"Lon" is like the German "von", which means "from...somewhere", and is also equivalent to "of" or "from" in English.Such prepositions were first used only among the privileged class, who used surnames to represent their prominent families, while the lower class people only had first names but no surnames, so they were certainly not looked down upon.

Victor's family does not have a long history and can only be regarded as local landowners, which can be regarded as "surname but no reality".

……

"Yuga, you hang out with me all day, aren't you afraid of being isolated by the other captains?" Victor said calmly after Victor and Yuga took the order and went out.

"Isolated?" Yuga touched his beard and said with a smile: "Victor, then you don't know something. Although I come from the capital, unlike those noble families, I also come from a poor country. And my ancestors are from Yes, you are often ostracized by those people. Victor, you were selected by Chief Mihai to join the guard flag corps. At least I have a companion."

After speaking, he boldly comforted Victor: "The army is a place where each person speaks based on his own ability. Those dandy boys rely on their own origins to look down on Victor, a civilian, and me, a descendant of a sideline.

But in my opinion, Victor, you come from an ordinary background, but you have relied on your own ability to achieve meritorious service and get promoted, and have worked hard to become a school officer. You are the most qualified to look down on those who only have one or two official positions because of the merits of their fathers, but you are the one! "

"Thank you for the compliment." But Yuga hesitated, Victor noticed, stopped and smiled at him. "Don't worry, Yuga. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Now you are also in the standard guard with us. Although it is difficult to change your status as a noble, in fact, as long as you have a good relationship with this group of people, you will call them by their first names in the future and you will not be laughed at.

It is not easy to climb up from the bottom. Perhaps in the eyes of those people, the results of your hard work over the past 20 years, Victor, are not enough to touch their starting point. "

Victor sighed secretly and said: "I understand. I will definitely remember what I said from the bottom of my heart today. Let me go back and think about it."

……

Victor looked back and forgot about it, not even taking half a minute to think hard, in order to prevent himself from being laughed at.Just force yourself into the circle. Does this mean you will be respected by others?Can you really blend into a small circle?joke!

Rather than wasting time on false fame, it is better to think about how to make Mihai trust him more, how to continue to climb up the ladder, and become a bigger official position. These are the real things.

After arranging everyone to set up defenses in the military camp, Victor stood outside the tent, thoughtfully listening to the voices of Mihai and the officers discussing the military situation.

Compared with ordinary officers, the advantages of the Guards are huge. Not only are they safer on the battlefield, but they also have easier access to some military information. For example, what Mihai discussed with the officers is exactly the problem that has troubled the Third Army for several months: morale.

The morale of the Third Army was still low, although under the threat of military punishment, no one was stupid enough to desert.But most of them had no morale. After working hard outside for more than three months, the soldiers of the Third Army only wanted to go home, so they all seemed weak, and the military camp was filled with a negative atmosphere.

After a discussion in which everyone expressed their own opinions, there was still no result. Although the officers all proposed solutions, they were all like a stick and a carrot.But this is no longer a problem that ordinary rewards and punishments can solve.Victor stood straight outside the tent and waited until all the officers present had left before entering the room and stepping forward.

"Sir, thank you for your hard work today."

"It's Victor, it's your turn today..." Mihai seemed a little troubled, holding his eyebrows with his left hand. When he saw it was Victor, he asked him to get up and leave.

Victor did not leave. He said firmly: "The general was just discussing with a group of officers how to boost morale. Everyone was talking loudly, but there was still no conclusion. I happened to be outside and accidentally overheard military secrets. .”

"It's not a secret either."

Mihai sneered: "Almost everyone in the third legion wants to return home. Everyone in the army has known it for a long time. I'm afraid even the king knows it and is staring at me to see how I will deal with it."

Facing the legion in this state, Mihai, who had only experienced downwind battles, was inevitably a little uneasy.At this time, he had an idea, pointed at Victor and said: "You are quite an officer, and you have risen from the grassroots level. You are well aware of the sufferings of soldiers. Do you have any solutions?"

As an airborne general, the generals don't know the soldiers, and the soldiers don't know the generals. Mihai is very worried.He transferred Victor to his side as a guard flag. In addition to appreciating Victor's extraordinary military management ability that day, why didn't he want a grassroots military official who understood the military's mentality to provide him with advice?

This was what Victor was waiting for, and he immediately said:

"My subordinates have an idea. I can't say it can restore morale, but at least it can make the officers and soldiers feel at ease!"
