Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science
Chapter 669: Seventeen. Under the City (4)
Karl Johan Lorenz Habsburg pressed the middle of the bridge of his nose with a strong force, and the soreness of his eyes eased temporarily, and the best commander in Ostoria recognized a new order under the dim light. The content is about the rest time of hawkers, military servants, and prostitutes who are accompanying the army-all civilians who follow the army must not make a sound when the light is off, and the offender 30 whip; the **** carried by the women of the army must not be crowing before 9 a.m. In order to avoid exposing the troops to the station, the rooster who defies the military order kills without amnesty.
This command sounds a little unreasonable, but the Grand Duke is not kidding at all.
A burst of noise broke in through the tent curtains, lifted the corner of the curtains, an old-style crowned leather helmet, a stylish high-top military hat, a frilled big brim hat, and a sharp bear fur hat at the front like flies It's the same everywhere, men and women's lustful laughter and gasping, hawkers' hawking, and the noise of fighting and fighting...
The discipline and order that military barracks should have cannot be found here. It is not so much a barracks as a rural market and red light district or market. People with a little military knowledge will shake their heads when they see this situation, and then wonder how much combat power this army can have and whether they can shoulder the heavy task of the vanguard of the expeditionary force.
Dagong is naturally aware of the various malpractices of the army. According to his original intention, it is best to expel these non-combatants out of the army, because these people have a negative impact on marching discipline and combat. But Dagong finally gave up this tempting idea. You know, without the comfort of the ladies, the angry Qiu Ba will definitely break out. Defend their "sexual happiness" with bayonet and musket. What's more terrible is that there are two foreign field hunting battalions in the army, many of which are camel clan orc mercenaries. These mercenaries fought and fought to death. As long as the money was enough, no matter who the target was, they would rush. Go up and fight against it. But these soldiers also have a head scratching problem: they are highly consistent with the Castilian guys in sexual orientation, and prefer boys or teenagers to plump women. Commanders including Archduke Karl have nothing to do with it-"After all, it is a hobby passed down by their ancestors. They are proud of it. They firmly believe that the **** built by men's "naked true love" is a must on the battlefield. Things. There is nothing more reassuring than comrades +'comrades'. It is very difficult to change this custom. It is almost impossible."
If the young lovers of these guys are ordered not to be close to the barracks, then there must be a large-scale mutiny. Before the troops are driven to the city of Riga, there will be tens of thousands of human bodies on the Principality's land...
no way. All Dagong can do is compromise. He didn't have the strong troops of Titans. Enough to cope with the mutiny, and more importantly, the eldest granddaughter's sister before departure-hated the Charlemagne. Maria Theresa Habsburg, who was also hated by the Charlemagne, repeatedly told: "Be sure to preserve your strength, and don't let the blood of the Ostoria warriors drain Charlie Man's ambitions!"
Prince Wang's abacus is obvious, and he himself did not intend to explain more about it. Any qualified politician will not turn a blind eye to those internal threats. As long as there is a chance, they will begin to eliminate or weaken the potential threats. It is undoubtedly the specific manifestation of this idea to let the disobedient military power charge into a cannon fodder, and the followers pick up cheap and peach picks. The efficiency, safety, and high yield are so beautiful that they satisfy Charlemagne's politicians.
Maria Theresa and Grand Duke Karl are naturally impressed with these little tricks, but unfortunately they have no means and courage to refuse.
Crunch in jihad against pagans; collaborate with enemies; betrayal of believers... These crimes are so serious that the big people in Habsburg cannot ignore this, and have been cleaned up by the entire human camp for the Habsburg family "The portal" is terrified. In order to avoid the coming of the end, they only bow their heads to admit their fate.
A tragedy is not only led by the crowns of Ostoria and St. Eastman, but also a common tragedy of all small and medium-sized countries. Since ancient times, the survival and development of small and medium-sized countries has never been independent. Instead, it is easier to see the wind and steer. It is easier to develop the wind in a big country than in a headwind, and the result of fighting against a big country is often to ask for bitterness and weak power. Before finding a thicker thigh hug, the country only had to obey the will of the great power with a scalp. This is the law of nature, and it is the same reason that small mass objects rotate around large mass objects.
Although the last paragraph of heresy nonsense would disgust the Duke as a devout believer, the fact is that there has never been fairness, justice and justice, only law and truth.
Following the basic principles of international relations, Calta just led his troops to become the vanguard of the expeditionary army and marched on a strange land.
It is no exaggeration to use "difficult" to describe this march. Every step of their advance is full of hardship and helplessness. It can be said that troubles follow them all the time.
Originally according to the planned plan, the Charlieman Army, the main force of the Expeditionary Army, should take the train to the northern front to gather, then break through the public defense line, and advance towards the Riga fortress. However, the railway system was paralyzed because the ve company, which is proficient in the railway business, handed over the railway to the officials nominated by the crown prince in order to ensure the safety of the railway's wartime transportation. , To take the rare paid vacation.
For this purpose, the company also paid for organizing the whole family of employees to go to the beach for a holiday. As a result, the bureaucrats who accepted the railway found that they had only one empty shell, empty facilities, several tables, chairs, railway timetables, financial statements, railway route maps, train status tables...all that could be called documents Things were missing, the safe and the vault were empty, and no piece of paper was left. After protesting to ve company, the answer was that the company had cleaned up before the holiday, and the funds and documents related to the railway All gathered together, ready to sort and count. As for when the finishing is finished, it will be known after the staff of the relevant departments have finished their vacations. Before that, in order to avoid the loss and damage of the documents, the company has sealed all the documents and locked them with the cash into the vault of the consortium headquarters building. No one should be close to... …
This is obviously the consortium’s revenge on the Crown Prince’s hand reaching into his pocket. Since all the employees in the railway department were chartered by the company and sent to a foreign country or even a southern colony for a holiday, it was impossible for the Crown Prince to get them back to work with a bayonet. While cursing "the only profiteers are profiteers", they dared to let the cadres sent to take over the railway fumble and try to dispatch the train.
It is conceivable that with such a group of guys who know nothing about the operation of the railway to dispatch the railway, Charlemagne's transportation system will look like. It only took three days. Stations all over the country were jammed by locomotives and carriages. The empty trains were running on the railways. The army and ordinary passengers were all stranded. The angry crowd almost destroyed the station building, and finally had to Send Titans troops with bayonet and buttstock to persuade people to regain their reason...
In a short period of time, rail transport can not be expected, and only rely on traditional means-walking and mule transport to the north. Although it is a bit more troublesome, it is out of the confinement of the consortium, but the speed has fallen far behind. The Grand Duke took a step forward to join the Albion army. I never thought that after this vanguard entered Lapland, new problems would come up again.
The marching speed is too slow.
The road conditions in Lapland have always been bad. After the advent of the railway, people have paid less attention to the long-term unrepaired avenues. At this moment, this inattentive consequence began to punish mankind. With a sudden cold rain, the road became muddy. A large number of loads and artillery were jammed on the road. Due to the weak rear transportation, and fear of causing diplomatic problems, the expedition The army did not dare to "feed on the spot" like the male or Charlemagne forces. The army had to carry a stupid and large field bread oven to march, further increasing the burden. In addition, the forces led by the Ostolia and St. Eastman crowns received military reforms later than the Charlemagne Army. They were not familiar with the new military ranks, which led to chaos in the organization. Under the influence of various factors, they have to stop for a whole day every two days in order to rest the team and wait for the burden.
For these problems, Dagong has been too busy to deal with each other, and what worries him is that there is already a lot of information that the Principality has formed a group of light cavalry based on the wolf clan, which is specifically responsible for the detection of harassment. For this group of crooked and brutal cunning guys like hungry wolves, the bulky and slow heavy troops are the best prey. How to arrange hussars to guard the brigade, while ensuring that the marching speed will not become slower, has become a subject that the Duke has to face.
Compared with the problems that threaten the life and death of the army, the family members of the military are nothing more than trivial.
As if he couldn't bear the situation anymore, Dagong frowned and walked around in the tent~www.wuxiaspot.com~ constantly circled, and finally he stopped in front of the map and took out a half smoked cigar from his arms and stuffed it in Then, he stopped all activities, neither lit the cigar nor spit it out, or sat back in his place. Just stopped at the same place, motionless like a statue.
He was already in a terrible mood, but he didn't know how to solve it. If anyone ran into his muzzle at this time, he would become a vent for the Duke's anger.
"His Grand Duke."
An unfortunate man came in. He was the aide-in-chief of the Grand Duke—General John Hiller, an outstanding old-fashioned soldier with great abilities. In the entire expeditionary army, only he never looked at the face of the Grand Duke, only to see him With a face on his face and a piece of communication paper under his arm, regardless of manners and manners, he strode toward Duke Karl.
Standing upright, leaning on his legs, saluting, and after completing formal ceremonies, General Shearer reported with a bitter tone:
"The Duke of Wellington in Albion asked us again, when will it be possible to reach Riga."
Looking at the sharp face of the adjutant, Dagong's lips moved, and he took a long breath, reluctantly putting away his cigar. (To be continued...)
