Chapter 718 The Beginning of the Military Exercise
The sound of the bugle was loud and long, and passed through the cool breeze of early autumn, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
After three long horn blasts, and a brief silence, the drums of war drums slowly began to sound.
When the soldiers heard the sound, they couldn't help but lamented in unison: "Grandma, this military exercise is finally about to begin~!"
The soldiers didn't even bother to celebrate that they had just punished those nasty gray dogs, and immediately started scurrying around like headless flies.
Although they were extremely reluctant, due to long-term training, they quickly cheered up and prepared for action.
There was a chaos in the playground immediately. The soldiers who were sitting or lying down quickly got up, rolled up their blankets, chairs, water bottles and other things in a hurry, not caring about the debris that had been knocked down on the ground, and quickly
They ran back to their respective barracks.
They hurriedly took out their armor, pulled out their weapons, and packed their backpacks.
The entire military camp became tense. There were fully armed soldiers running around, and the military flags of each team were raised. The guardhouse was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Lorraine was stunned when she heard the bugle sound, and then heard the drum sound.
Lorraine suddenly woke up and did not dare to neglect. As soon as he turned around, he hurried towards the commander's hall.
The sound of the drum is an order to summon all officers above the squadron and ask these military officers to report to the central army. If they are late, they will be dealt with according to military law.
This snare drum only sounds when the most important things happen.
If the drum beats less than three times, he will be beheaded on the spot.
This is a rigid rule that has been enforced in the Semitic army for thousands of years. Regardless of whether it is an officer of noble or civilian origin, any failure to respond is punishable by death~!
Even if the High Priest of the Undead comes, he cannot change this rule.
However, the interval between the three-way drum sounds is long enough for the officers in the military camp to rush to the headquarters.
Despite this, officers are very sensitive to the sound of drums, after all, it can be fatal.
And you can't be sure whether the superior officer doesn't like you. If he gives an order and shortens the time without authorization, there will be no place for you to cry.
In the history of the Semitic people, there was once a time when those bastards used this military law to beat the three-tone drum quickly, then happily waved the butcher knife, and carried out a thorough purge of those officers who were late.
.
Since then, everyone has developed a conditioned reflex to run here as fast as they can whenever the drum sounds.
When the first sound rang, the officers in the guardhouse had already begun to rush towards the command hall.
Lorraine ran quickly towards the direction of the Chinese Army Hall. During this short journey, he was surrounded by officers who were running as fast as him. Even the fat guy in the logistics department was gasping and holding back his breath.
Blushing and rushing forward.
At this time, Lorraine felt a hint of excitement in her heart.
This is a military exercise of the Semitic Praetorian Guards, which already represents the highest level of combat power of Semitic regular military forces. No other army has more combat effectiveness than the Praetorian Guards.
Not only do you have the opportunity to observe, but you can also participate in it, go deep into it, and understand the Semitic war thoughts, fighting methods, battle formation composition, military command, soldier quality... and so on, all aspects of the military system.
And we start from the core of the entire system.
These are all military secrets that cannot be exchanged for anything. Through these, you can understand their strengths and weaknesses so that you can deal with them calmly in the future.
It's like wearing perspective glasses when playing mahjong. Everything is covered in detail. At that time, if you want a hidden bar, there will be a hidden bar. If you want it to be clear, it will be clear.
A grand slam...
You can make a lot of money and kill everyone.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Lorraine has become a good friend. He understands the war strength of the Ruman people and the war capabilities of human beings.
Lorraine's observation of the Semitic people has just begun, and this is an excellent opportunity. Through this, he can fully understand each other~!
After a while, he arrived at the Chinese Army Hall.
At this time, the war drum had just sounded twice.
Before the third drum had sounded, all the officers had arrived, and the hall was packed with officers with shining lights on their shoulders.
Lorraine couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart. This guard was indeed the elite among the elite. After experiencing a thousand years of peace, at this moment, he still followed all the orders and prohibitions without any slack.
Lorraine knew that the Guards had not fought in several years. What they had in the past was only small-scale suppression of bandits and quelling rebellions. At most, the Grand Duke would send some people to the Eastern Front to fight and cajole and make money.
A little experience points or something. There have been no big battles involving the mobilization of the entire army in the past hundred years.
Not to mention the soldiers and gangsters he had under him when he was in Naian.
Those are all out-and-out bitches. They are lazy when they can, fish when they can, and they are always clamoring about rising prices, higher CPI, and higher wages. Even the most loyal and honest Orc soldiers are
Was led astray by them.
Not to mention that there has been no war for a thousand years, but if there is no war for three to five years, they will all relax, put their horses in Nanshan, and sleep with swords and guns on their pillows.
Lorraine had no choice but to engage in a round-robin battle and drive them into the prairie in turn to hunt down the robbers and bandits, otherwise these guys would be so lazy.
Moreover, all the fat and vacancies in the army are controlled by relatives such as brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
This kind of bad officialdom habit cannot be changed by Lorraine alone. In fact, it was Lorraine who led the way to this state of affairs.
He has arranged high positions for his girlfriends. Even Vera and Melina are working in several units and receiving several salaries.
The only thing Lorraine can do is to strengthen supervision and ensure that even if those guys don't have any outstanding talents, they will not just do nothing but embezzle and embezzle.
Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but secretly resented it, and swore in her heart: After returning, when there is nothing else, she will also conduct more military exercises and so on, and in the name of integrating combat effectiveness, all the guys in the logistics and office will be
Pull in.
Make those bastards vomit blood from exhaustion, so that they will become honest...
Hmm, hmm, that's a good idea.
If there is a brother-in-law or something, get him a special force, issue him a dagger, and then go out into the desert for a week of wilderness survival training to kill those bastards.
In this way, those guys couldn't bear the pain, so they just patted their butts and walked without offending others. Even if they suffered, it means that they are indeed superior and there is nothing wrong with them.
By the way, if there is a chance later, would you like to give that fat little Leo some wilderness survival training? That guy is my brother-in-law.
Who asked him to take his own telescope last time and never return it, and even shyly said that he lost it? When choosing things, he always picked the best ones. He didn't eat much, but took up the most... He had to give it to him
A lesson that will last a lifetime...
This is a good idea, but the risk is a bit high. I don’t know if Nicole will go crazy if she knows about it?
But that little ruffian Leo is very easy to fool, so he might be more enthusiastic than anyone else when he says it.
But if he gets too excited and sets a fire without hesitation, everyone will be in trouble...
Just when he was thinking wildly, he heard a loud "dong" sound from the heavy drum.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Immediately afterwards, Thors was seen striding up from one side wearing heavy armor, holding a long sword in his hand, and wearing a wide red cloak, followed by several fully armed guards. He looked very majestic.
The master of ceremonies nearby shouted loudly: "Everyone stand up~!"
The crowd did not dare to neglect, they all stamped their feet heavily, raised their hands in salute, and loudly said: "I have met you, sir."
As Lorraine saluted, he did not forget to add another sentence in his heart: "You son of a bitch~!"
Thors looked at everyone and didn't return the greeting at the moment. He just snorted coldly and said: "Brothers~!"
Everyone couldn't help but stamp their feet in unison.
Thors raised his chin, then spread his legs, stood in the middle, and said loudly: "Brothers, I think you all know that according to the old rules, in four days, we will be a hundred miles outside the city.
Military exercises were launched in Lei Ge Plains."
Lorraine nervously calculated in her mind that in four days, a hundred miles away, she would have to leave tomorrow. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to catch up. This time was a bit tight.
At the same time, he was also a little frightened by the thunderous marching speed of this Semitic tribe.
The Praetorian Guard is indeed worthy of being called the strongest army of the Semitic tribe. Their combat readiness is not slack at all, and they can set off as soon as they receive an order.
At this time, Thors coughed slightly, and then walked down. As he walked, he said: "Brothers, I think you also know that this military exercise is of great significance..."
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Someone shouted loudly: "Sir, don't worry. Isn't it just to overthrow the other three divisions and help you get the position of deputy admiral? Don't worry, our brothers are now well-equipped and have good morale. This will
We will definitely defeat those three gangs of soldiers in one go. The name of our First Division is not for nothing."
The rest of the people also shouted.
"Yes, sir, don't worry."
"Today is different from the past. They are so cowardly~!"
"Now they want to buy shares in our company, not to mention our people, even when they meet our dogs, they will talk down to us."
"That's right, they can't stand up anymore."
"Whether it's soft or hard, fists or brains, they are no match for us."
"When we catch them, it's not like catching chickens..."
"Hahaha……"
After saying that, this group of arrogant soldiers couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
When Thors heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Lorraine who was standing in the crowd. Seeing that he also had a calm smile on his face, he couldn't help but quickly turned his eyes away.
For some reason, he always felt a little lack of confidence in front of Lorraine. Although the ruffian was just a junior officer, simply standing there gave people the feeling of being upright and not angry.
The feeling of authority.
It seems that only because he is his subordinate can he be justified.
This kind of demeanor is really like that of senior officials in the Ministry of Military Affairs.
He composed himself, then coughed slightly, and continued: "Actually, it's not just that. The director-general and other leaders of this exercise should be present to observe the exercise.
The commander-in-chief issued an order, saying that after research by the Ministry of Military Affairs, the military commanders of the units that performed outstandingly in this military exercise can be promoted to one level.
Brothers, what I want to say is, it’s time to show your face~!”
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. Then an eager expression appeared on their faces. The leader of each team can be promoted to the next level, which is the quasi-leader level.
This is different from the staff officers who hang around in the staff department. When the time comes, everyone will have the power to directly command half a division. Even being promoted to commander and commanding a division is not a dream.
In the military, this level is the most difficult to overcome.
In a division, there are many officers at the level of captain, twenty of them in total, but there are only two commanders and deputy commanders in total, and they are nestled in the military headquarters, looking for vacancies and want to send out more officers.
many.
The vast majority of officers will only reach the level of captain in their lifetime. Unless they are very lucky or have a strong backing, they should not want to be a commander.
Thinking of this, the expressions in everyone's eyes changed, and they all revealed a faint green light.
Lorraine sighed in her heart: These bastards are really official fans. Although none of them have many backstage connections, it is not easy to climb up, but just a quasi-commander has become such a character, and it can indeed be seen that
They are not big-minded.
Just because they look like this, you can imagine what the other Guards divisions will look like. Those bastards must have lost their energy now. They may not even recognize their biological fathers and mothers, let alone what will happen.
The matter of investing money into shares.
They were all prepared to show their faces in front of the chief executive and compete for official positions.
When the time comes, if a fight breaks out, it is absolutely impossible to expect that the other party will hold back.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. The tradition in this army is the most conservative. It has always been a carrot and a pit. It tried its best to prevent multiple commanders and the soldiers were at a loss. So if you want to be promoted to an official in normal times, it's just like
It's not easy for Brother Ant to pick up Meimei, an elephant.
No matter how hard everyone tries, they may not be able to climb up.
Those ruffians in the Ministry of Military Affairs have always been unwilling to do anything without profit. How could they be so generous this time and get a quasi-commander position as soon as they were offered? Could it be that they had eaten too many brain-dead pieces? Or were they queuing up collectively and being beaten by donkeys?
Kicked in the head?
Just as he was thinking about it, Thors had already told the answer himself.
He scanned the crowd and said: "I think everyone knows that the most beautiful flower of our Lingshan tribe, the girl with eyes brighter than the bright moon and the heart purer than the snow on the snow-capped mountains, Her Royal Highness Adeling, is about to get married.
.And she married one of those gangsters like Lei Shan..."
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly showed a look of anger.
These ruffians all know that under the intervention of the High Priest of the Undead, the most beautiful flower of the Lingshan Tribe will be planted in the Thunder Flash Tribe's pile of shit.
Although girls will get married sooner or later, everyone once hid under the quilt and dreamed of turning into a handsome toad and chasing the beautiful swan. But when they woke up from the dream, the cruel reality told them,
This is absolutely impossible.
But this does not mean that they will allow or allow the most beautiful flower to be picked away by others.
In fact, it would be the best if that flower is not picked off by anyone for the rest of its life.
If you can’t get it, then no one can get it, so forget it~!
But now, she has to be involved in an ugly political marriage. And she is still being dealt with by those country bumpkins who only know how to eat potatoes. This makes these soldiers feel ashamed and angry.
This was like a slap in their face. If the army hadn't been too greedy, why would they have watched the most beautiful flower of the Lingshan tribe being married to those bumpkins from Leishan?
Although under the banner of Semitic unity, Lingshan and Leishan finally put aside their prejudices and worked together to create a better tomorrow for the Semitic people.
But everyone knows that this is written by the literati of the propaganda department to deceive people, and they themselves may not believe it.
Ling Shan and Lei Shan have stopped fighting a civil war in the past two hundred years. The hatred accumulated over thousands of years cannot be eliminated with a few words. The two sides have never stopped making small moves in private.
They are happy to make things difficult for each other.
This marriage caused great indignation among the Semitic people.
You know, after knowing this news, how many young people were filled with righteous indignation, and then prepared their weapons and horses, planning to run over when it was time to send off the bride, stand up with swords, block the road, rob, and snatch away the beautiful His Highness.
Think about it, on the road filled with yellow sand to send off the bride, His Highness was sitting in a Roll-Royce extended-length Phantom 500+ luxury carriage, crying so hard that it rained.
At this time, I am riding a white horse, holding a silver spear (or Qinglong Dao, Fang Tian Hua Ji, meteor hammer, overlord spear, cutting off descendants, killing three thousand people... etc., etc., depending on the characteristics of the individual weapons)
.), fought bravely, and drove all those shrimp soldiers and crab generals away.
Then he opened the curtain of His Highness's carriage and said, "My dear Your Highness, do you want to break free from the shackles of this world's evil, cannibalistic feudal ethics and travel with me to the ends of the world?"
Then, taking the most beautiful flowers, he rode away and had a splendid, tear-jerking, and extremely gorgeous elopement.
Leave a legend in the world and become an eternal song among the bards...
Let everyone be envious, jealous, and hateful~!
Although these soldiers had families and jobs and couldn't do this, when they heard the news, they all darkened their faces.
Thors looked at everyone's expressions and felt a little uncomfortable at the moment. He coughed lightly and continued: "This time we are going to select one person, who will be fully responsible for commanding the entire escorting regiment to protect His Highness.
Safety."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other and were silent for a while. Although they had not cleared the dungeon, they also knew that the ambassador who sent the bride off must be a main tank who was very capable of drawing hatred.
You probably don’t even need to spend money to buy groceries. You just need to stand on the street and shout, ‘I am the ambassador for Your Highness Adelin’s wedding.’
Those rotten vegetable leaves, rotten radishes, rotten tomatoes, and rotten eggs thrown away by the dead people are enough to bury people alive. You will definitely be rich after eating for the first half of the year.
Seeing the gloomy faces of everyone, Thors pretended not to know, and continued: "You must know that this is an honorable task. And among the people who send off the relatives, many of them are high-ranking officials in the court.
If you perform well, you will be able to rise to great heights and rise to great heights in time, and it will not be impossible even to take charge of military affairs."
When everyone heard this, the expressions on their faces kept changing. On one side, they were tempted by high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but on the other side, they risked being thrown rotten eggs. This was too difficult to choose.
Thors couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he saw the struggling and distressed expressions on everyone's faces. If he had known this, he shouldn't have told them this last news, but the thought passed by him in a flash.
This news will leak out sooner or later. If they don't tell them in advance, then, if some bastard's mind fluctuates, he really abducts Her Highness, or even lets her go while on guard.
, then there will be big trouble in the future.
After all, His Highness has a history of running away. Although he ran away several times, he seemed to have accepted his fate. He laughed and laughed all day long and had food and drink. But no one dared to take it lightly.
If she really ran away, many people would die under the rage of the High Priest of the Undead.
Thors thought of this and continued: "Everyone, I know this is a very difficult decision, but you also need to know...
Brothers, we must do something. We must select the most elite and dedicated warriors.
Only in this way, when the time comes, can we appear in front of those country bumpkins with the most powerful posture and let them know how powerful we are. In the future, we can make them dare not underestimate us or bully our Highness."
He spoke passionately, with a hint of tragedy.
All the officers present couldn't help but feel a little moved. Yes, those big guys are the losers, but we have to face the difficulties and fight for them.
The faces of many young and strong officers even showed excitement, and their cheeks turned red.
Lorraine looked at it and couldn't help but sigh to herself: These stupid soldiers are really easy to deceive. Just a few words boosted their morale.
At the same time, he also completed what Thors had not said, and murmured in his heart: "Behave more powerfully, and you can add more to those fat-minded big guys at the negotiating table.
The weight of your words and your bargaining chip.
When Thors saw everyone puffing up their chests, he couldn't help nodding secretly. He admired the staff officers of the Military Affairs Department and thought to himself: What on earth do those bastards think? They can actually grasp people's hearts so accurately. According to the
As soon as they spoke, the morale of these people naturally increased.
He flashed his eyes, looked at everyone sharply, and said: "Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, raise them now. Even if you don't want to do it, you won't force it. If you don't say it now and change your mind later, you won't be able to say it.
, all military laws will serve you."
Everyone looked at each other, and everyone was silent. No one made a sound.
Thors nodded and said: "Very good, since everyone agrees..."
He also puffed up his chest and shouted loudly: "Now, I order~!"
Everyone present stomped their feet heavily again, making a loud roar. Even the floor shook.
Thors said: "This afternoon, you can deal with your own affairs and go to bed early. Get up at one o'clock tomorrow, have dinner at two o'clock, and set off at three o'clock."
All units advance along the main road and maintain contact with each other. They are absolutely not allowed to fall behind. Any violation will be punished by military law.
Before eight o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, I want to see all my soldiers resting in their tents on Lei Ge Plains."
Everyone stamped their feet again and agreed with a bang, then turned around and strode out of the hall, getting ready to go.
Lorraine returned to his camp, immediately called his officers over, ordered them to collect military supplies, prepare tents, and directed the soldiers to get ready.
But he slipped out of the military camp and went to find Fiona and others.
But when he arrived at Fiona's residence, he saw that there was also a chaotic scene. Servants were carrying things and running back and forth. Fiona and the women's soldiers were all sitting there.
Commander, the tired servants' feet are not touching the ground, and their busy tongues are hanging out.
He couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked Fiona: "What's going on?"
Fiona also looked strange and said, "Are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know?"
