Accompanying his superiors on official business and having a beautiful woman by his side is the dream treatment of many people who are eager to make progress - even if he is only responsible for carrying bags and running errands. Enjoying the envious and jealous eyes of others, Lafayette only feels physically and mentally exhausted.
tired.
If your superior is an excellent person in all aspects, then it is an honor to stay with him, not to mention accompanying him on business. But if he is a bastard, you are not his kind, nor are you keen on snitching and flattering.
Villain, every second spent by his side is torture.
Lafayette considered himself not a bastard and did not like snitching or flattering. But Captain Puscinelli was keen on these two things, just as he was keen on criticizing the military appearance of his men every day, so the accompanying work must be very difficult.
It was hard work. Just trying not to show boredom and displeasure almost made Lafayette's facial muscles spasm.
The girl next to me also has a problem.
It’s not that she was difficult to deal with, or that she was more sarcastic than Captain Puscinelli. From beginning to end, Captain Dahlke just listened, occasionally asked a few questions, and took notes in a small book. Superfluous words-such as nitpicking
, or a big principle or something, not a word. The questions asked are also on the line.
The condition of the soldiers, food supply, recent battle conditions, enemy movements and other practical issues. Compared with the generals who patrol the model positions, or the lieutenants who keep an eye on the soldiers' conduct and discipline all day long, this
This young girl is closer to those old non-commissioned officers and does not have the latter's bad temper.
Logically speaking, this kind of visitor is the most popular target of the soldiers. In order to show gentlemanly demeanor and strong protective desire, the soldiers are happy to chat with her. But when the bastard boss is nearby, the situation is completely different. Any well-intentioned
Anyone who behaves will be warned by stern eyes. Under those murderous eyes, who dares to get close and who dares to say more?
There is no doubt that Captain Puscinelli is a bastard, but he is also happy to behave in front of ladies. The main reason why today is unusual, as if his tail has been stepped on, is that this inspector belongs to the navy.
The discord between Charlemagne's military services was an open secret. After the collapse of the Titans, the conflicts between the army and navy not only did not ease, but intensified further.
The apparent reason is that both sides support different royal families, which leads to deepening confrontation. In fact, that is only one of the reasons. The deeper reason is "who leads the country" and "where is the strategic direction?"
The Army likes "continentalism", that is, expansion on land. The reason is that Charlemagne's foundation is still land. No matter how strong other countries' maritime power is, he can't send battleships to the Seine River to bombard Luders, right? At best, he can't.
, the navy is still unable to form an absolute advantage over the combined naval power of all countries. Landing in Albion, the fire
Burning Londinium is still far away. But if we can conquer all the countries on the land battlefield, we can blockade Albion. By then, will those lonely troublemakers overseas surrender obediently? At worst, even if the navy is completely
If it's over, the worst it can do is lose overseas interests, but it's okay to stick to the homeland. If the Army is over, the country will really be destroyed.
The Navy said in response: A red deer is a red deer. If you don’t get rid of the shit stick on the island first, he can always help other countries and slowly recover at the same time. If this continues, no matter how strong Charlemagne is, he will not be able to take care of both ends. In the end,
They will definitely be dragged to death. As long as Albion's aid to other countries is cut off, it is best to cut off the scourge at once. All countries will suffer heavy losses, both materially and spiritually. Isn't it easy to catch them by then?
The next step is the various tears of Ma Lu and ****, from the mouth to the fist, from the group to the duel.
On the surface, the contradiction between the two sides is the dispute over the order of strategic goals. The root cause is that both sides want to dominate the war and the country.
The navy is inclined to the navy, and the army is not interested in. The Navy opposes the expansion of the land battlefield. It is also because the mainland battlefield is led by the army. The Navy is not good.
At this time, Yaheheim jumped out and provided a foreign enemy. The two groups may start the civil war someday.
Even so, the hostile hearts of the two sides exist after all. The two sides encounter either ridicule or cold noodles. If anyone shows even a little close, he will be crowded and hit in his organization.
I was directly kicked to the reserve and sitting on a cold bench.
Prosy is full of ambitions for the career, and does not want to interfere with his life plan for some of the wonderful reasons.
Then, then
It can be imagined how distressed is Lafayte's accompaniment.
Fortunately, the captain did not put out his towering military cap to swing, otherwise the gunners and snipers on the opposite side would greet him enthusiastically, and by the way, even the people around him greeted him.
I do n’t know if this Dalke has noticed this. She just continued to shuttle in the puppet, towards the end of the maze -at the forefront movement.
"How? Captain Dark. In front of my army copper wall -like defense, no matter what kind of enemies, it is impossible to break through."
Captain Prosy repeatedly emphasized how strong his position is, how strong and brave soldiers are soldiers. It seems that he is a superman who can fight ten.
The heterose is not the native chicken tile dog, and when it is pushed, at the same time, the captain's footsteps are not rushing and slow, and your head is holding his chest, but the arc of the knee is slightly reduced. And the closer to the frontier
Then, then
"Indeed, the Army built these puppets is very careful."
The beautiful girl turned her head back, and the ship -shaped military cap was replaced by the civilian's peaked caps. The gorgeous navy uniforms were also covered by military coats, but their beauty was not damaged, but added a few sense of closeness.
I saw her quickly glance at Captain Prosy, and continued to talk about in a slightly regretful tone:
"But this is the task of His Royal Highness of Prince Wang. His Royal Highness and Joint Meeting explained the task, and the command book also explained very clearly." Be sure to report the frontline of the front line in detail.
. ""
"Where, it is my honor to walk with a lady."
The answer was still gentle, but Lafayat faintly heard the sound of the rear governor's teeth.
——If maybe hearing, maybe.
The second soldier explained to himself and continued to follow the two captains behind the two captains.
The closer to the forefront, the depth of the cricket is also decreased accordingly. At the front line, there is only one deep left, and there are often no bunkers.
This is not caused by laziness of the soldiers or poor trench digging skills. It is mainly due to the lack of tools and the fact that the artillery on the opposite side occasionally interferes with the trench construction work. By the way, the generals who are full of offensive spirit decided that the front trenches should not be too deep, otherwise it will be inconvenient to launch.
The result of the attack was that the trenches were not only shallow, but also lacked support. On this battlefield where the opponent could grasp the entire battlefield situation from the air and provide corrections for the artillery, the frontier facing the threat of enemy mortars and snipers was the most dangerous.
zone.
The company commander, wearing a standard military cap and full uniform, looked like he was walking around the shooting range with a target on his back.
"...Captain Darke, this is the forefront. If we go further...it will be difficult to ensure the safety of your noble officials."
The weather in the Flower Moon was a little hot, but Captain Puscinelli's back was already soaked through, and the sweat flowing from his chin and neck continued to fall to the ground with his steps, as if he was already in the middle of summer.
The feeling of embarrassment flashed past, and Lafayette continued to carry large and small bags and followed closely behind the officers.
"In this case, your Excellency, Army Captain, please go back to handle official duties first. With this soldier accompanying me, I will go back after inspecting a section of the trenches."
"But...the order is..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's orders, we as subordinates can only obey, right?"
"Uh... I'll take my leave now."
Captain Puscinelli, who was leaning forward, saluted, turned around quickly and left. Judging from the brisk pace and boldness of his actions, the company commander seemed to be busy with official duties.
Lafayette secretly cursed his embarrassing boss and his own bad luck, and quickened his pace to keep up with Captain Dahlke - compared with the pace of the army officer who was always leisurely and steady, the pace of the navy captain was a bit too fast.
"You are... Private Lafayette, right?"
"Yes, Captain."
"If possible, you can go back. I will explain to Captain Puscinelli."
"Well?"
Lafayette stopped in his tracks, bent over and looked at the girl in front of him with a confused expression.
"What's wrong? If you don't go back soon, you'll miss lunch time."
"No...it's just that this is a mission. I have to protect your safety, Captain. If the other side launches an artillery attack or a sniper..."
"There won't be anything like that."
Pulling down the brim of her hat, the girl untied the long black bag she had been carrying and took out black iron pipes.
"If it were the Brandenburg troops stationed opposite yesterday, they would not miss any opportunity. The troops opposite today are from Dresden. They are not as lazy as the Silesian troops, and they are not as lazy as the Bavarian troops.
So easy-going. They are the group of people who know how to enjoy life best in the defense force. As long as they complete the set tasks, they will maintain a calm posture. Relatively speaking, the Brandenburg troops are much tougher. This is their personality. "
The iron pipes have been assembled together, like two artillery mirrors with long tubes and big eyes slowly extending out of the trench.
As expected, what appeared in front of us was the desolate, charred land and craters one after another. On the other side of the horizon was a dense thicket of corrugated barbed wire like bushes. The Charlemagne soldiers who had previously rushed to the defense position were left there, and they remained
Maintain the charge formation, and hang the broken arms and limbs on the barbed wire fence to form a wall or a mound.
Although the defense trenches at the other end cannot be seen, the scatter of bomb craters and body injuries can reveal some clues.
"The projectile distribution in the crater... Well, there are at least 4 210㎜ heavy guns, 155㎜ howitzers... 1, no, 2 howitzer batteries... machine gun positions on both sides... general machine guns, and is there a 12.7㎜ heavy machine gun on the top?
?Anti-slope position...it’s impossible to estimate the number of mortars just from the craters.”
"Um, Captain...?"
"Huh? Why are you still here?"
Stopping her hand, the girl turned her face and looked at Lafayette who was hesitant to speak. She seemed to understand something and covered her forehead.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I forgot, your company commander is not an easy person to talk to, he is a typical army man... Just treat what I said before as if I didn't say it."
"Thank you very much, Captain."
Lafayette breathed a sigh of relief and returned the book to the girl's hand. Those mysterious lines and symbols aroused his curiosity. Perhaps because the navy captain in front of him was easy to talk to, Lafayette's mask was loose.
.
"Captain, how do you know where the troops on the opposite side are coming from?"
"Listen to the singing. If the troops from Königsberg and Brandenburg want to sing, they must sing military songs, otherwise it will be march songs such as "Watch the Rhine"; the troops in Silesia only sing "The Praetor's Hymn", Bavaria
Any song over there will do, but only the Dresden troops will sing country ditties during meal time, or play pop music on the gramophone... and probably have a cup of black tea after the meal."
The girl said nonchalantly, while Lafayette on the side listened with a confused look on her face.
Because they have been hacked for more than a thousand years, and Charlemagne's propaganda machine has been pouring dirty water at full capacity recently, many people regard the elves as abominable heretics. They do not believe in gods, are greedy, evil, mechanical, and dull - just like a
An army of locusts, following the orders of their archons, devoured the civilized world.
Enjoy life, personality, etc... just those bug-like guys?
When Captain Puscinelli heard these "politically incorrect" remarks, he would loudly denounce the naval captain as a "non-national", but Lafayette only found it interesting and useful.
The amount of information, experience, skills and knowledge you have on the battlefield can directly determine life or death. If you want to survive on the cruel battlefield, you can only master relevant information as soon as possible.
Information about the enemy is also one of them.
The battle situation has been unable to break through, and the arrogance of the soldiers on the front line has been greatly changed. Although they are still loyal and brave, they will be resistant to receiving orders to attack when the front line is relatively calm.
. If possible, they also hope that the enemy on the opposite side will maintain the same attitude as themselves, "live and let others live". However, the lack of intelligence on the opposite side makes this idea a luxury.
Now that he has the opportunity to learn about this information that is usually inaccessible, Lafayette is certainly willing to listen.
——The premise is that the information is true.
"Your Majesty Captain...how do you know...about the Pointy Ears?"
Lafayette asked cautiously, while he mustered up the courage in his heart, his body tensed up in preparation for the rebuke.
Charlemagne's popular "lower to overcome superior" is only for the officer class. Even if the soldiers are beaten and scolded until they can't bear it, they can only admit that they are unlucky. Sometimes if they can't bear it anymore, those with weak psychological quality will find a place where no one can see them and commit suicide.
, those with excellent psychological quality may find opportunities on the battlefield to shoot their superiors in the back.
Lafayette felt that the female captain was an easy talker, but the army was an organization that emphasized hierarchy after all, and he was ready to be reprimanded.
"...I have been in contact with those guys across the street."
"Well?"
The girl spoke without hesitation, the pen in her hand smoothly drew a sketch of the battle line, and her calm attitude seemed to be telling an insignificant matter.
Only the eyes staring closely at the artillery mirror showed a little confusion and nostalgia. (~^~)
