Chapter 42: Troop Training and No Negligence of Military Orders (Part 1)
The date of dispatching troops was set on October 21, 289, the imperial calendar of the Britannia Empire.
In other words, it took half a month to assemble the army and food, and half a month later to start the expedition to defeat the 80,000 army of Gabriel Kingdom and rescue the Lund Kingdom.
The Britannia Empire used to be a superpower far above other countries. Although its national power is not as good as before, a lean camel is always bigger than a horse. In the Britannia Empire When it was still a superpower, the most important thing was the transportation system. At that time, there was a proverb circulating in the Britannia Empire called-"Do you want to make the village rich? Then repair the road at the entrance of the village!" ".
From this proverb, we can see how much the Britannia Empire valued the transportation system at that time.
The reason why the transportation system is so important is that the Britannia Empire at that time was extremely concerned about the speed of transporting food, grass and troops.
Therefore, the Britannia Empire built dozens of avenues leading to various important places in the country with the imperial capital Pendragon as the center. People called these avenues "straight roads".
The Britannia Empire still has a very complete transportation system and transportation system, with straight roads all over the country, so although the Britannia Empire is not the most powerful of the four empires, it must be the speed of food transportation. , The one with the fastest deployment speed.
The Britannia Empire borders on three other empires, the Rolling Empire to the south, the Frankish Empire to the east, and the Holy Hieram Empire to the north. Apart from these three empires, there are also many small countries around them.
It is worth mentioning that the relationship between the Britannia Empire and the other three empires is not good, especially the relationship with the Rollin Empire in the south and the Frankish Empire in the east.
However, the national power of the Luo Lin Empire is the weakest of the four great empires in China. In the past few decades, many wars have broken out between the Britannia Empire and the Luo Lin Empire. The Tania Empire is about to break the Rollin Empire, and the Rollin Empire has only one breath left now, and the threat to the Britannia Empire is no longer great, so the Britannia Empire does not have to worry about it now. The focus is on the south.
The center of gravity of the Britannia Empire is now placed in the east, that is, the focus is placed on the Frank Empire, because the current national strength of the Frank Empire is very strong. In terms of national power, the Britannia Empire still occupies a slight downwind.
In order to be able to transport troops, food and grass to the eastern battlefield in the shortest possible time, the Britannia Empire has always given priority to repairing the eastern straight roads, so so far, the number of straight roads in the eastern part of the Britannia Empire is the largest and most perfect of.
Usually, the Britannia Empire has also stored a large amount of grain, grass and materials, and is ready to deploy a sufficient amount of grain, grass, and materials to the East at any time.
Both the Carolingian Kingdom and the Lund Kingdom are located in the east of the Britannia Empire, so it takes half a month to deploy enough food and supplies for an army of 100,000 to operate and transport them to the east. It is not difficult for the Tanya Empire.
Food, grass, and materials are being deployed intensively, and now we are slowly waiting for the time to pass, and the army will start to march in half a month.
...
In the evening of October 6, 289, the imperial calendar of the Britannia Empire.
Pendragon, in the mansion of Earl Hyde and Unity Knight Isel.
Iser invited Enli to his home for dinner tonight, so Enli and Alyssa were sitting around the dining table, waiting boredly for the dishes and Iser's arrival.
Issel has some business to attend to, so she won't be able to come to the table for dinner until a little later.
The dishes were not ready yet, so Enli and Alisa could only sit at the dining table and stare at each other boredly.
In order to pass this short period of boring time, Enli planned to find something to chat with Alisa.
"What a coincidence, Alisa." Enli smiled, "We can fight side by side again this time."
"Well, yes." Alisa also smiled.
Enli will also participate in the "Lund Kingdom Rescue Battle", and he will serve as the commander of the 7th Army.
After the two of them had such a conversation——
silence……
There was silence between the two of them again, and the silence enveloped them again.
Enli picked his nails a little anxiously.
Enli also understood that he was not very good at chatting, so he had always struggled with how to chat happily with people.
Enli searched his stomach and tried hard to find a topic.
Finally, I found a topic that seems to be able to be discussed in depth——
"Alyssa," Enli said, "That Su Cheng will also participate in this military operation, and he is also the deputy commander of the 10th Army. He will be the deputy commander of you, the commander of the 10th Army."
"Well, yes." Alisa nodded expressionlessly.
"This Su Cheng is really lucky." Enli said in a somewhat displeased tone, "Many knights have endured for several years or even more than ten years before they finally have the opportunity to serve as the commander or deputy commander of the first army." He, a knight of Xingui with only 2 months of 'knight age', was able to participate in such a large-scale military operation so quickly as the deputy commander of the first army."
"yes."
After hearing Enli's words, Alisa frowned slightly, and then continued: "It seems that the high-level people seem to be deliberately cultivating Su Cheng, so that he has more opportunities to obtain military merits."
"Speaking of which, Alisa, do you know?" Enli said with a disdainful smile, "It is said that Su Cheng was able to become a knight so quickly because Master Yada helped him secretly. He was able to participate in this military operation as the deputy commander of the First Army this time, perhaps because Lord Yada was helping him."
After finishing speaking, Enli added:
"Tch, this person who relies on connections to get to the top is really annoying."
As soon as Enli finished speaking, Alisa's expression changed instantly.
became unhappy.
"Enli." Alyssa's tone became serious, "What you said just now was 'it is said', that is to say, 'Su Cheng became a knight so quickly by relying on the great talents of Jacob' is a rumor you heard ,Is it right?"
"Huh? Yes, yes."
Although Enli didn't understand why Alisa's expression suddenly became so serious, he immediately answered Alisa's question obediently.
"Enli." Alisa continued to say in a serious tone, "I have always believed in my own eyes, and I have always sneered at rumors. I never judge a person by what others say Yes, so I hope you, Enli, will stop listening to and believing these rumors in the future."
Afterwards, Alyssa laughed at herself, and said, "It's just that sometimes I just miss it. A few months ago, I always thought that Su Cheng was just a talkative person, but I didn't expect... oh, my father was right...Su Cheng is indeed a master."
After all, Alisa shook her head with a wry smile.
After hearing Alisa praising Su Cheng in a disguised form, Enli instantly felt a strong sense of displeasure!
For some reason, after Enli saw Su Cheng for the first time, he felt very uncomfortable with Su Cheng.
After Su Cheng came back from a big victory and was awarded the title of Knight of New Gui, seeing Su Cheng was even more unpleasant.
At this moment, after hearing his favorite girl praise Su Cheng in a disguised form, the flame named "displeasure" in Enli's heart burned even more.
Cut... This Su Cheng... just defeated 30,000 peasant rebels with 5,000 regular troops. I can do it if it's me! What a big deal!
Enli thought to himself.
At this moment, the door of the dining room was pushed open.
"Hahahaha, I'm sorry, I just went to deal with some things, and I'm so sorry to keep you two waiting for so long... Huh? Isn't dinner ready yet?"
It was Issel who came.
"Father," Alisa said angrily, "you are so slow!"
"I'm sorry." Issel said with an apology on his face, "I just went to deal with some military affairs."
"Military affairs?" Enli asked puzzled, "Is it urgent military affairs?"
"It's not a very urgent military matter." Iser smiled, "It's just that our Gabriel Knights recruited 400 new recruits, and His Majesty plans to send these 400 recruits to participate in this rescue operation. Just busy with the 400 recruits."
After all, Iser sighed softly: "I am now looking for a suitable person to train these 400 recruits, so that these 400 recruits can form combat effectiveness within half a month, but I have not No suitable candidate has been found. It is really too difficult to let 400 recruits form combat effectiveness in just half a month, and there are not many instructors who can do this."
Hearing this, Enli raised his eyebrows, and a plan suddenly appeared in his mind!
A plan that can fix Su Cheng well!
"Mr. Iser!" Enli said suddenly, "Please hand over these 400 recruits to me!"
"Huh?" Iser wondered, "Enli, do you want to train these 400 recruits?"
"Yes! Yes!" Enli nodded vigorously, "Please hand over these 400 recruits to me! I will definitely try my best to train these 400 recruits, and after half a month, I will definitely return them to the Mr. Iser, you have 400 elite fighters!"
After hearing Enli's invitation, Iser nodded after thinking for a while, and said:
"Well then, Enli, I will hand over the 400 recruits to you. You have to train them well. After half a month, if you can't return me 400 elite fighters, I won't spare you." Yisai Er said half-jokingly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Issel."
Enli gave a strange smile.
"I will definitely train these 400 recruits well."
...
Su Cheng's residence.
It was already time for dinner, so Su Cheng, Alan, and Deng Jiaer were all sitting at the dining table, and there were sumptuous delicacies on the dining table, while Kai Luoer was also arranging the tableware before Su Cheng and others in front of.
"So, are you going to fight again in half a month?"
Kailor asked Su Cheng while setting the tableware.
"Yes." Su Cheng said while rubbing his left temple, "According to the establishment of the Britannia Empire, the 1st Army is equal to 20,000 people. I was appointed as the Deputy Commander of the 10th Army, but with It was different last time, I am not the supreme commander, this time I am the 'senior subordinate', the senior commander responsible for communicating and executing operational orders."
"Hmph." Deng Jiaer fiddled with her tiny biceps, "Sir! We also want to achieve great military achievements this time!"
Kai Luoer knocked on Deng Jiaer's forehead.
"First find a way to make yourself survive safely, and then think about getting military merits."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
"Really, why have so many people knocked on the door recently..." Su Cheng muttered as he walked towards the door.
"Here it is, who is it? Don't tell me that there is another meeting this late at night."
While complaining, Su Cheng opened the door.
A man in a cloak was standing at the door of his house. The man was wearing a hood, and the hat was worn very low, making it difficult to see his face.
Looking at the person in front of him, Su Cheng suddenly remembered a game called "Assassin's Creed" that he played when he was still on Earth. This person's current clothes are especially suitable for playing the role of an assassin in "Assassin's Creed".
"That... May I ask who are you?" Su Cheng asked politely.
"it's me."
The cloaked man opened his hood and said.
After the cloaked man in front of him pulled off his hood, Su Cheng could finally see this man's face clearly. After seeing this man's face, Su Cheng's expression changed, and he quickly saluted him, and said:
"Your Highness Gail! I didn't recognize you just now, so I didn't salute you in time, please forgive me!"
"fine."
Standing in front of Su Cheng was Gail Augustus, Ilsa's father whom he met for the first time this morning.
Although he didn't know why such a big man came to him at this time, Su Cheng still bowed to him politely first.
"Excuse me, are you Su Cheng?"
Su Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I am Su Cheng."
"I came this time to thank you." Gail said.
"Thank you?" Su Cheng was taken aback.
"Well, yes, last night, I chatted with Ilsa, and Ilsa told a lot about you."
After mentioning Ilsa, Gail's originally serious and stern face showed a rare tenderness.
"Ilsa said that among so many teachers, she likes your class the most, and she is very happy with you, so I would like to come here to thank you for making Ilsa happy, thank you."
After finishing speaking, Gail saluted Su Cheng.
Su Cheng hurriedly said: "Where is it? It is also my honor to be able to teach a cute and sensible little girl like Ilsa! I am also very happy in the process of teaching Ilsa."
"It's just," Gail's face suddenly stiffened, "Although it is very important to make Ilsa happy, the most important thing is to teach Ilsa well, so Mr. Cheng will teach Ilsa in the future. And don't slack off."
"That's natural." Su Cheng showed a helpless smile, "It's just that I have to participate in the rescue operation of the Lund Kingdom in half a month, and I won't be able to teach Ilsa for a while."
"fine."
Gail waved his hand.
"Anyway, it's not an important class that can't be missed. After you come back, Mr. Cheng, you can make up all the missed classes little by little."
Su Cheng said: "..."
Do you still have to make up lessons? ! !
Although Su Cheng was roaring in his heart, there was still a smile on his face.
Gail put his hands behind his back and continued: "I have also heard some rumors about you. A man who became a knight in only 24 days is really an amazing achievement. I may not see anyone who can break it in my lifetime. Your record, your record may be able to be maintained until the abolition of the knight system or the demise of our Britannia Empire."
Su Cheng smiled, and then said modestly: "It's just my luck."
"Mr. Jacob also told me about you." Gail continued to smile, "Mr. Jacob was very happy to tell me last night that he helped Britannia find a rare one in a thousand years." You are a military genius. Mr. Jacob also said that with you Su Cheng joining, it means that we have an extra elite knight order in Britannia."
"Mr. Jacob is really absurd..." Su Cheng said while scratching his hair in embarrassment, "I'm not as exaggerated as Mr. Jacob said."
"So, I am looking forward to your performance in half a month." Gail patted Su Cheng on the shoulder, "Come on, don't let Jacob live up to your expectations, and don't let me live up to your expectations. I also very much hope that the "Twin Generals" of our Britannia Empire will become "Three Sons Generals". I hope that our Britannia Empire will have one more powerful knight to protect Britannia in the future. "
"Please rest assured, Your Highness! I will do my best!" Su Cheng said firmly.
"I've said everything I need to say." Gail put on the hood again, "I still have a lot to do, so I'll be leaving first, goodbye, Mr. Cheng."
After all, Gail turned around and left without waiting for Su Cheng to answer.
