You call me a big treacherous evil?

After all, the officers of the [-]th Infantry Company of the Guards were basically lying in the hospital at that time, and the only way to restore the combat effectiveness of this company was to be promoted from non-commissioned officers.

After all, after fighting for such a long time, those noble-born officers were either promoted to school-level officers, or they simply hung up a logistics organization to fish in the rear. The front-line combat troops have had a large number of civilian-born soldiers promoted since three years ago. To the rank of captain.

Looking at the epaulets and collar badge in his hand, Victor thought of those old buddies whom he would never see again.

Holding the epaulettes in his hands, Victor stood up and walked out of the barracks.

In the open space in front of the barracks, those familiar and unfamiliar faces had already stood neatly.

It seems that during this period of time, the non-commissioned officers have done a good job, at least in terms of assembly speed and energy.

Victor walked to the front of the queue calmly.

"stand at attention!"

Seeing Victor approaching, he thought Master Chief Alix, who was standing in the front row, immediately gave an order loudly.

Then there was a neat sound of heels clinking.

"Take a break."

After Victor returned the salute, there was another sound of orderly footsteps in the queue.

"I know that many of you don't know me, because you have just joined this team, and I have been recovering from my injuries a while ago, so now we are meeting for the first time."

"But it doesn't matter, we still have a lot of time to spend together in the future, so you don't have to rush to remember my face now."

"However, if you untie these people, you'd better remember their faces, because they will be the ones who squatted in the trenches with you to bear the shelling and share the same piece of black bread with you."

"Alex! Come here!"

Victor waved to the Master Chief who had just ordered.

Let him come to himself.

After the two saluted each other, Victor began to change his epaulettes for Victor himself.

"In view of your performance all the time, I've promoted you, Ivan Alix, to lieutenant, responsible for managing a platoon. Work hard, Lieutenant Alix."

After changing the epaulettes for Alix, he patted his arm.



009 Before the Storm

Victor has done more than once to promote a group of non-commissioned officers to officers and rebuild the command system.

So soon he re-completed the reconstruction of the command system of the [-]th Guards Infantry Company, and announced that everyone would suspend their vacation and enter a state of combat readiness.

That is to say, everyone starts to maintain their weapons, check their equipment, pack all their luggage and equipment, and enter a state where they can go to the front line to fight at any time.

According to Victor's understanding of Emperor Lucia, after a defeat, he will soon organize another small-scale counterattack.

Use a tactical victory to wash away the shame brought about by the failure of the previous battle.

Why Victor knew the emperor's habits so well, it was because most of the time, Victor's was programmed into the counterattack sequence, serving as the spearhead of the counterattack force.

So even though Victor has just connected with Commy, he still plans to train their workers' picket team for Commy.

Teach them the art of explosion and enhance their combat capabilities.

But now I am afraid there is no such opportunity.

After all, judging from the current situation, he may soon be transferred back to the battlefield.

So Victor is going to overdraw his influence as an officer of the Imperial Guard and a hero of the Imperial War, and get a batch of grenades and explosives from the quartermaster here.

I kept part of it for myself, and the other part was handed over to Kang Mi, which was regarded as my party dues.

But what Victor didn't expect was that the loss in this Roy battle would be greater than he imagined.

On the vast wilderness of Lucia, countless trains are speeding backward from the battlefield that has long been turned into hell.

The carriages of these trains were filled with howling wounded soldiers.

And at the starting point of those trains, in the field center hospital of the Lucia army.

Countless tents were filled with dying and dead people.

The military doctors, who were so tired that they looked like walking corpses, were still fighting death with bone saws and bandages in this purgatory-like place.

Amputation of the arm for 45 seconds, amputation of the thigh for 1 minute, every second someone is dying, even if they survive, they will only live in pain for the rest of their lives.

These numb doctors don't know how many arms and legs they have to remove, and how many people they have saved. They only know that there are more people outside these crowded tents that look like canned fish. People are dying in despair.

Outside the hospital, the coffins ordered before the war have long been exhausted.

In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague caused by the accumulation of a large number of corpses, some logistics soldiers who were transferred to help could only dig a large pit and bury these corpses collectively.

In the beginning, for the sake of decency, they also used canvas as a body bag to wrap the corpse.

Later, when the canvas was not enough, some lime could only be sprinkled on each row of corpses.

Not even lime after that.

They can only throw the corpses into the pit, and then bury them hastily. Finally, after filling up the big pit, they set up wooden stakes engraved with numbers and letters one by one.

【L 1917.09.08 1115】

It means that 1917 soldiers who died in the Battle of Roy on September 110, [-] were buried here.

And dozens of such wooden stakes were erected near the field central hospital near the train station.

More such stakes have been erected near other field hospitals that have no names but numbers.

At noon on the day when Victor returned to the barracks to report, Wangorich also received news of Roy's defeat in the battle. At the same time, he also received the news of Lucia's loss in this battle.

That's a pretty staggering number.

In this battle, Lucia's frontline troops have so far counted more than 200 million casualties.

If the previous losses are counted, Lucia's current casualties have exceeded 800 million.

Seeing such a loss figure, Van Gorich knew what was going to happen next.

In order to make up for the loss on the front line, the emperor will conscript again, and further amend or abolish the labor law, so that more young children will enter the factory to replace their father's work.

Then let these fathers go to the front line to work for his stupid ambition and endless greed.

Of course, in addition to workers, more farmers will also leave their land, go to a place they have never heard of in their lives, and die with another Teutonic who may have just put down their hoe like them.

Without this war, they might become friends when they meet in the wilderness, share bread and beer with each other, and exchange farming experience.

And now they took arms and killed each other in the name of the emperor.

Can't go on like this.

The proletariat should not kill each other, it is time for this farce to stop.

Thinking so, Wangorich began to write a letter, planning to propose a nationwide strike to the Lucia Commi Central, forcing the emperor to stop this stupid war.

While Vangoridge was writing the letter, Victor also got someone he didn't think would come.

Konstantin returned to the camp half an hour later than the time set by Victor.

Although according to common sense, Constantine, who was late, should like to mention the small black room for a day as his punishment for being late.

However, when Victor had already started to mobilize, Constantine's eight-day tour of the small black house, like Reizetov's seven-day tour of the small black house, was postponed until the end of the battle.

As a good student who had never fired a gun in his life, Constantine was left in the company headquarters by Victor.

Originally, what Victor wanted was to let this kid get used to the environment in the company headquarters first, to understand what the army was like, and try not to let the only college student in the company be wasted for nothing.

Then Victor discovered that in an organization like the [-]th Guards Infantry Company, which was illiterate, even though he had himself suppressed Constantine, he would not be able to become a prophet.

But this young man is indeed a very talented person.

The firearms maintenance and mechanical modification can be seen at a glance. After a few tosses, playing with those firearms is no worse than myself, an illiterate old engineer.

And he's still a Commie.

If he is Kang Mi, doesn't that mean that he is Kang Mi?

After Dawalixi, the unraveling was very logical.

Without any excuse, Constantine began to teach the soldiers of the [-]th Infantry Company of the Guards how to read in the barracks every night.

As for the literacy textbooks...

Do you understand the Commie Declaration?

Although those big soldiers were somewhat ignorant, Victor quickly mastered Lucian's skills.

After all, Victor can speak Lucian, and this language is still phonetic, so after knowing the alphabet and mastering spelling skills, Victor, who doesn't even need to memorize words, successfully took off the hat of being illiterate.

However, what surprised Victor was that during this period of time, he had not waited for the order to transfer the [-]th Guards Infantry Company to the front line.



010 Emperor's Melancholy

Victor, as an officer of the Praetorian Guard, has never met Emperor Lucia.

But he knew the emperor as a hound knows a hunter.

As soon as the shot is heard, or even heard, the hunter raises his gun and a good hound knows it's show time.

However, this time Victor the Hound, or the despicable Victor, has not waited for the order to send the [-]th Guards Company to the battlefield.

Of course, it is also a good thing for Victor not to have to have some bumps and bumps with the Teutons, because this gives him more time to transform the [-]th company of the guards.

After all, no matter the officers or soldiers in the [-]th Company of the Guards, basically they all come from poor backgrounds. It can be said that everyone is from a poor family, has a rural household registration, basically has no education, and has been treated as a livestock since childhood.

If such a group of people face Constantine's evil alone, they will probably have some resistance because of the deep routine in your city.

But when Victor, who rolled in the trenches with them and also came from a bitter background, came out to endorse, the situation changed immediately.

As if enlightened, the soldiers of the [-]th Infantry Company of the Guards suddenly realized.

"Company commander! It turns out that Kang Mi is a good person!"

Of course, Victor and Constantine also had a little bit of conflict about Komi.

That is, compared with Victor, Constantine, who thinks the emperor should be hanged, is considered a rightist.

Because Victor wanted to hang the capitalists and nobles too.

In Constantine's view, this kind of view is a bit too much. After all, not all nobles are the kind of bad people with pus on the top of the head and sores on the soles of the feet.

As the most educated group of people in Lucia, there are not only communist supporters among them, but also many intellectuals.

It is undoubtedly a great waste to hang this group of people on street lights.

Regarding Constantine's opinion, Victor said that we should put aside the dispute and continue to work. In addition to turning the [-]th Guards Infantry Company into a reliable armed force for Communism, we can also go to the barracks to develop some new members.

Although Victor lost contact with Selena due to the influx of a large number of wounded soldiers, Victor reconnected with Van Gorich, Secretary of the Port Phelps Party Branch, through Constantine's relationship.

In addition to adding a new contact channel, Victor also provided a large number of grenades and explosives for the workers' pickets in Port Phelps.

Although Victor has been preparing for battle, the emperor's order has never been delivered to the [-]th Guards Infantry Company, as if the Emperor had forgotten the existence of the Guards.

In fact, not only did the emperor not forget the existence of the [-]th Infantry Company of the Guards, but he has been hesitating where this company should be transferred.

Because during this period, in addition to the defeat on the front line, the news sent back by the imperial spies also made the emperor uneasy.

With the news of the defeat on the front line, the country's tolerance for war has reached a critical point, and a cloud that is pregnant with a storm has appeared on the horizon.

Although the emperor tried his best to block the news of Roy's defeat in the battle, the Lucians were not fools.

The mouths of the wounded soldiers transported by train to the rear cannot be blocked. As for keeping the wounded soldiers at the front line and not sending them back to seal their mouths, the front line soldiers will mutiny in minutes.

So now the way to block the news of the failure of the battle is not feasible, so there is only another way, which is to forcefully suppress those who want to make trouble, and use forceful means to tide over this crisis.

But this road is not so easy, and the current domestic situation is already highly unstable.

Because of the economic recession and soaring prices brought about by the war, there are often teams on the street protesting against the increase in the price of bread.

Although the emperor was able to let the gendarme and the police disperse these protesting crowds again and again, these protesting teams are still the most harmless part.

According to the intelligence of the spies, whether it is Kangmi, Guoshe, Ahn'Qiraj, or even the Restorers of the Kingdom annexed by the Empire in the previous 200 years, they are all about to move now.

The best choice now is to stop the war and suppress the domestic opposition forces after making peace with Teutonic.

But on the western front, the Teutonic and Brandenian and Franche coalition forces have fought back and forth, and at the same time, the Teutonic ally in the south, the Dansk Empire, is retreating steadily under the attack of the Southern Army Group.
