Chapter 788 Friedrich Doing Things
The high-spirited Governor Frederick of the East African Governor's Palace: "You are all top graduates of the Austrian Army University, and some have even broken school records.
But this is not enough, excellent generals are played on the battlefield. The Empire is peace-loving, and there are not so many wars for you to practice.
Now there is an opportunity for you to experience the cruelty of war in advance. It's just a little dangerous, and participation is entirely voluntary.
If you are afraid, you can choose to quit now. "
To be able to appear here, it has been able to explain the problem. If you are afraid, you will not participate in the first place.
Seemingly satisfied with everyone's performance, Governor Frederick eased his tone: "Very well, since you have chosen to participate in this operation, then you will no longer be active Austrian soldiers when you get out of this door.
Any accident during the training has nothing to do with the Austrian government. Only those who come back alive can restore their military status.
As your predecessors, here is a warning to you: first learn how to survive on the battlefield, and then think about making achievements.
Protecting your own safety on the battlefield is also an essential ability for an excellent commander.
It is not easy for the empire to train you. It is not for use as a death squad. Bravery and reckless are never the same concept.
Now I'm starting the roll call. "
"Oscar von Huttier."
A young officer stepped forward and replied, "Here!"
Governor Frederick: "Lieutenant Colonel Hutier, you are the commander of this operation. I hope you can bring back all these young men intact."
"Yes!" replied Oskar von Huttier
Governor Frederick nodded: "Your mission this time is to use the Mach enemy rebels to cause chaos for the French."
Looking at the bewildered crowd, Frederick laughed: "Don't be surprised, even with the support of us and the British, it is impossible for the rebels to defeat the French.
The strength gap between the two sides is huge, and the war has been determined from the beginning to win or lose. Sending you to the past is for experience, not for you to die.
You don't need pressure in this war, any tactics can be used, winning or losing has nothing to do with us. What kind of record you make depends entirely on your own ability.
Of course, the premise is that you can fool the natives and let them listen to your opinions.
If anyone has the ability to pull up a rebel army and do it with the French, I have no problem.
Your results on the battlefield determine how much material aid you can get to increase your voice in the rebels.
In the early stage, each of you only had the equipment of one infantry regiment. It was up to you to decide whether to give it to the rebels and when to give it to the rebels. "
Training high-level officers is completely different from lower-level officers. Lower-level officers only need to execute orders and dare to fight.
Senior officers are different, they need to learn more, such as organizational management ability, tactical command ability, battlefield adaptability...
Not only is there a lot of learning, but it is also accompanied by the most brutal competition. There are assessments at each stage, and only the best talents can get the next stage of training.
Generals trained at such a high cost are naturally not used to charge into battle. How to save one's life on the battlefield has also become a compulsory course.
The war between the Sudanese rebels and the French was an actual test. No matter how powerful a soldier is on paper, it is not as good as a real sword on the battlefield.
The Austrian military obviously has high hopes for these people by directly practicing with the French, otherwise it will be fine to send officers with rich combat experience directly.
After finishing speaking, Friedrich continued to take the roll call.
"Erich von Falkingham, Potiorec, Stehausenburg..."
All the famous figures of later generations appeared here.
After decades of operation by Franz, the scope of the Austrian army's recruitment has long been not limited to Austria.
All citizens of the Shinra Empire are eligible to join the army, including North Germany.
Especially after the Russian-Prussian War, due to financial pressure, the Berlin government abandoned the original militaristic path. The army has compressed its establishment, and the investment in military schools has naturally been small.
In fact, the foresighted Junkers aristocrats started stepping on two boats a long time ago. The older generation served in the Prussian army, and the younger generation studied in Austria.
Now that Prussia is in decline, these military students do not need to go back, and there is no place at all. Entering the Austrian army has become the best choice.
For Franz, who is interested in unifying the German region, these officers from North Germany are naturally not a problem. Anyway, they are all rushing through the sand.
The high-spirited Friedrich, born in 1856, was not much older than these men.
It's just that I was lucky to catch up with the war in the Near East, and I brushed the Ottoman dungeon smoothly all the way, and then stood out.
Of course, the effect of reincarnation is actually greater. As the son of Archduke Karl Ferdinand of Austria, he was born with a golden key.
If you don't have the ability, you can mix well, let alone the ability. Originally, I just wanted to go to war in the Near East to gild, but I didn't expect to make real gold.
It is not easy to have a capable one in the royal family, and such an existence must be cultivated well. Friedrich, who should have enjoyed the banquet and wine, was kicked by Franz from Vienna to East Africa.
Young people are never alone, Fred
Rishi is not just waiting for the dead, but he is also ambitious.
The original time and space have lived in Vienna, which is intoxicated with money, for so many years, and can command the army to the battlefield, not to mention now.
Under the butterfly effect of Franz, the atmosphere of Vienna is obviously stronger than that of the same period in history.
If you run into an emperor who doesn't like to feast your eyes, the bureaucrats and nobles below will naturally be affected.
Changes in social atmosphere have the strongest impact on the next generation. The nobles born after the Great Revolution are generally stronger than the previous generation.
As the governor of the colony, Frederick's authority is still very large, as long as the government does not prohibit it, he can do it.
Adding chaos to the French is naturally not prohibited. As long as you don't get caught with evidence, you'll be fine.
Friedrich, who had just taken office and was eager to make a mark, planned the operation directly.
To this end, he visited several Austrian governors in Africa, and scavenged a bunch of junk from everyone.
Without the participation of the Vienna government, Friedrich's resources were limited, and these junk were used as bargaining chips to interfere with the uprising of the Mach enemy.
Of course, there is no need to increase investment, but it is not fooling people. As long as the results are seen, it will be easy for the government to pay.
"Fao friendly" is less reliable than "Ino friendly". If you open a history book, you will know that the history of Europe in the last few hundred years is a history of the struggle between the Habsburg dynasty and the French for hegemony.
Now it happens that there are French people who are hindering the unification of the German region. Most Austrians think that France is the biggest enemy, no one.
Pit the French, Friedrich without the slightest pressure. Not sending active-duty soldiers to participate, even if it is a face for the Paris government.
It was just a few students who had just graduated from the military academy, and even if they were discovered by the French, Friedrich would be able to hold on to it.
