While George Blake was busy recruiting soldiers, two of his Soviet classmates were doing the same thing.
But compared to George Blake who only needed to register his name, and all qualification tests and other training and education could be handled by No. 14, Seryosha and Tonya would undoubtedly have to do everything themselves.
Fortunately, the top Soviet officials attached great importance to this matter and provided them with enough manpower to help.
Not only ordinary civil servants, but also other Soviet students who had been eliminated from the magic academy in previous years.
They returned to China before Tonya and Seryosha, and had established a magic department in the Soviet Union, and began to train relevant magic talents as early as two years ago.
A considerable number of students sent to the magic academy by the Soviet Union in the past two years had already received basic magic education before going to Egypt, and this also helped them gain a foothold in the academy faster.
In fact, not only the Soviets did this, but all countries that could send students to magic colleges have adopted similar methods.
This also provided a certain basis for Seryosha and Tonya to form their own mage group in the Soviet Union. At least they did not have to worry about selecting candidates.
These magic talents who can be selected as students of the magic academy are selected according to the standards given by Egypt. After being selected, they are gathered together to receive the teachings of those eliminated students, and at the same time receive patriotic education and military training.
.
Therefore, these trained talents basically have good discipline and absolute loyalty to the Soviet Union, and they also have a certain foundation in magic.
As a reserve force for the mages, they are far better candidates than those recruited by George Blake.
After all, the candidates that George Blake could recruit may not be bad in other aspects, but they had no basic training in magic and no military training, which was undoubtedly a disadvantage.
The only stronger point may be the help of the silver-faced mage No. 14, who has an absolute advantage in cultivating mages.
Of course Seryosha and Tonya didn't know this. After they received the news that the Soviet Union wanted them to return to China, they gave up the opportunity to become Chen Mo's apprentices and returned to the Soviet Union from Egypt.
After being personally received by Comrade Joseph Steel, the two of them were appointed as the chief and deputy leaders of the first mage regiment in the Soviet Union, and were fully responsible for the formation of the mage regiment, creating a Soviet mage regiment for the Soviet Union.
.
In order to achieve this goal, the Soviet Union invested a lot of resources, not only giving them the best talents, but also transferred a Guards Division to the two of them to be responsible for security work and other combat needs.
With such a foundation, Seryosha and Tonya naturally hope to be able to work hard and make some achievements.
But in the final analysis, they are just two mage apprentices who have received four years of magic education. They are not official mage themselves, so how can they train mage who meets the requirements of the mage group?
After all, the mage group is not just a group of mage apprentices who can cast a few spells to become a mage group.
Collective spellcasting, coordinated spellcasting, legion magic, strategic magic... there are quite a lot of things that a real mage group needs to master.
Especially since they are still necromancers. According to the standards of necromancers, a necromancers group must have a large number of necromancers summoned to form a servant army, but they do not have these.
Rice cake
Even if George Blake had the help of No. 14, these things could not be accomplished in a short time. He just knew what he needed to have.
The two of them did not need to do the registration of candidates, daily training and the allocation of various supplies and equipment. The staff assigned to them by the Soviet Union took on this part of the work very well. The two of them only needed to do it.
Just coordinate.
This has undoubtedly reduced the difficulty of Seryosha and Tonya's work, but they still have a lot of work to complete every day.
Especially regarding how to configure the undead summons, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two.
Obviously, necromancers need to use corpses to create undead summons. When they were in the academy, Egypt had a complete corpse management act, so as students of the academy, they did not worry about not having corpses to use.
But back in the Soviet Union, whether there was no relevant corpse management act in the Soviet Union itself, or the influence of social acceptance and religious factors, they greatly restricted their acquisition and use of corpses.
There is no way to obtain corpses, and the use of corpses will attract protests and opposition from religious figures, which undoubtedly brings great obstacles to them.
Seryosha had a stubborn attitude, and his idea was to use the corpses of prisoners.
Due to some internal problems in the Soviet Union, a large number of prisoners are produced every year. They are either sent to Siberia or directly purged. In Seryosha's view, these are undoubtedly excellent sources of corpses.
But Tonya was opposed to this, perhaps because of women's kindness, she preferred to use animal corpses.
Although most of the knowledge they learned in the academy was based on human corpses, Tonya determined through some research and experiments that the same effect could be achieved with animal corpses, and even in some aspects animals
corpses are more useful than human corpses.
There was no consensus between the two on this issue. After several quarrels to no avail, they had no choice but to report the issue.
The Soviet Union was obviously in a dilemma when faced with this problem.
The Soviet Union had no psychological pressure on using the bodies of those prisoners, but they also had to consider domestic religious issues.
However, the magic talents and technologies mastered after spending a lot of resources and costs obviously cannot be wasted like this. Using animals to temporarily top them is an acceptable solution, but the Soviet Union still hopes to obtain something like the German Undead Legion.
of great power.
As a result, a secret order was issued to the Mage Group. They will work with domestic magic institutions to conduct research on human body enhancement, aiming to create the Soviet Union's own super legion. The code name for this plan is the Red Guard.
In addition, the mage group also obtained a batch of Siberian hamsters and war horses. They plan to try these two animals first and accumulate some experience.
Faced with the two orders issued by the Soviet Union, both Seryosha and Tonya breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the orders issued by the higher-ups were not satisfactory to either of them, at least they did not have to continue arguing about this issue and could just obey the orders.
This also allowed them to start their work smoothly and gradually build up the framework of the mage group.
This also caused the war that took place in the Egyptian world to gradually deviate from its original trajectory, and the style of painting began to gradually become strange.
