Chapter 792: 1. The changing smoke (16)

For the people of countries far away from the fighting, especially the soldiers confronting each other across the trenches, this year's bud month is synonymous with "calm" and "boring". ⊥top⊥point⊥small⊥said, w..
After settling in Castile, the Albion, Charlemagne, and Orc soldiers found that the living conditions here are completely different from the locals, and the living conditions in the battlefield are much worse than the domestic training camps.
The war has left the land barren and villages and towns deserted. There are not many men of adult age who can be seen in sight. There are only a handful of war disabled people. Women and older men do all the work in battlefield villages and towns, and these people are generally malnourished. This really disappointed the bear bear soldier who could not survive without the woman and vodka. He had originally expected to find the human "flower girl" to open the edible meat. A plump and healthy bear like a cow falls down on his appetite.
The problem of the lower body is still a trivial matter, and the more headache is still waiting for the days of mold and the enemy to attack in the trench, this is the same for both soldiers.
After the Battle of Guadalajara, both sides lost their ability and determination to break the deadlock and began to confront each other by building trenches along the actual line of control. Before the complete trench work, any large-scale infantry attack was a suicide, which has been proved by a large number of examples. Across the Castile land, before the continuous defense line connecting the east and west coast lines, sports warfare has become impossible, and the soldiers can only squat in the trenches to repeat the monotonous daily rest.
The life in the trench followed a fixed pattern: before dawn, the commander awakened everyone and began to prepare for the battle. The soldiers scolded and entered the position to prevent the dawn raid on the other side. This stage is often accompanied by "premature anger syndrome", both sides of the neurotic firing, tilting the ammunition towards the other side. During this period, both sides were careful to avoid looking up, with very few casualties.
The preparation time is over. Calm follows. Some soldiers used fire to cook, some shaved and washed, and the water for shaving and washing could only be carried into the trench by themselves. Water is always scarce, and the food is still sufficient, but most of them are pickled foods with appetite, and there are hundreds of years of heritage-grade cured meat. Everyone is hungry for fresh food. In individual locations, the two parties will reach a certain tacit agreement, such as not firing in the early morning, and everyone in the afternoon to come out to bask in the sun. Everyone did not abuse the artillery, because it would only provoke revenge from the other party’s artillery, and it made no sense.
In the rest of the time, soldiers usually relax, such as chatting or sleeping. However, it is often difficult to get what you want: other people walk around and step on their feet, and the officer checks the position. The tasks arranged above, can't prevent the shells or bullets flying over.
At dusk, battle preparations and "early rage" are staged again, and the next most enjoyable dinner time of the day. Some troops can even get hot meals, rum, and vodka from the rear. After dinner, if the relationship between the two ends of the trench is not bad, there will often be a sing under the night. The two sides took turns to sing high songs, singing through the no man's land between the trenches, echoed on both positions. The relationship is not very good. Basically it is silent and silently waiting for the dawn.
The most direct consequence of the trench warfare is not how many people have died. But the morale of both sides was wiped out by this boring life. The soldiers of both sides no longer had confidence in the prospects of the war, and they did not hate their counterparts in the trenches at the beginning of the war. It is against this background that they are resistant to receiving offensive orders when the front is relatively calm. As a result, the realism attitude of
live alive and let others live
became popular on the front to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. Soldiers on both sides of the New Year Festival even without official recognition. There was a one-week truce spontaneously. The soldiers came to the unmanned zone between the front lines of the two armies, exchanged cigarettes and cap badges, took a group photo together, held a ball game, and did not shoot each other for a whole week. Until the high-level leaders of both parties issued strict orders. Only then stopped the "spontaneous truce". However, in some areas, the two sides still share the same water source with great tacit understanding.
The generals hated the "bad atmosphere" of their subordinates, but they even hated the trenches themselves. This is a passive mode of warfare that violates all tactical creeds and tactical principles, and any commander eager to make achievements will not like it. Facing the piles of bayonet and artillery is enough, they have no good way, they can only wait for the superior command and form to change.
It may be that their piety and perseverance moved the mother god, and the international form like a pool of water can finally change.
The format is great, and it's not small.
Both Charlemagne and Yalfheim's internal reports have this view. According to common sense, this kind of thing cannot happen, and there must be a lie on one side. But this time both sides are right, the form has indeed changed.
What is good for Charlemagne is that the front commander of the team has been replaced. Grand Duke Nikolai resigned because of illness, and he was replaced by another relative-Yevgeny Ivanovic. Admiral Alexeyev. Another uncle of Nicholas II.
This personnel transfer seems to be no problem, but it is not a disaster for the team.
How bad is it? Just look at the dialogue between Lieutenant General Brusilov and Elder Witt before returning to St. Petersburg with the Archduke, and returning to the Riga fortress.
The elder elder said sadly:
"The fortifications are complete, the supplies are sufficient, and the morale of the army is high. It should not be difficult to hold the fortifications, but it is necessary to cooperate with the new allies to defeat the primary enemy."
"What conditions?"
The lieutenant general asked.
"When the general arrived at the fortress, he immediately arrested Admiral Alexeyev and escorted him into Beijing. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the army to act as planned."
"Thank you for your suggestion, but this is impossible. Your Majesty’s most trusted general is your Admiral, and he is my superior, and the elders have said that it’s unthinkable that the Grand Duke and the generals below are frontline commanders. of."
The big elder looked desperate, almost moaning and summarizing the meaning of this personnel transfer.
"The goddess is on top, how can such a ridiculous thing happen, so that such an idiot command hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the soldiers are too pitiful."
It is well known that Admiral Alexeyev was a complete idiot, and there was once a move to equip each battalion with a general. I don’t dare to do anything without the instructions of St. Petersburg. The hands reviewed each year are walking on foot. The reason is that as an admiral, I can’t ride a horse, but the admiral never boarded the ship. It is said that it was because of seasickness. ...He can climb to where he is today, simply because he is the late illegitimate son of Alexander I and the uncle of Nicholas II. If this stupid idiot can command the squadron to win the war. Then it must be the goddess, but in fact, the goddess is on the side of her agent.
Therefore, the trend of the situation is very obvious. According to the current situation, once the war suddenly broke out, the public could not act quickly to contain Charlie Man’s ground combat forces. Albion had to face Charlie Man’s pressure for a period of time. For Charlie Man soldiers who have been troubled with "anti-Charleman encirclement" and "two-line operations", this is a great gift from the sky. Now as long as they concentrate on destroying the Albion Royal Navy Fleet, the next thing will be much simpler.
The Charlemagne soldiers thought the form was good. "Determined God Blessing", "Wang Jun is able to bear much", is not far from "full victory".
Coincidentally, their counterparts in the defense also thought that the form was good based on this.
The so-called "victory" is for the goal, there is no definite goal, how to judge "victory"? Charlieman’s soldiers prepared to provoke a full-scale war, but what is the goal? Where does the call finish? I'm afraid they can't tell clearly.
When the head of Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union, they never thought of swallowing Mao’s territory. They planned to advance to the AA line connecting Alhan Greensk in the south to Astrakhan in the north. It is another matter to be knocked down before reaching the aa line. Where is Charlieman's a-a line? Where are you going to fight? In the face of Guadalajara's trench system, Titans can't do anything. Can you get a good deal if you change the army? Even after breaking through the line of defense, it captured Ursalia and even Castilla. And after that? Are you really going to fight until Lundinium and St. Petersburg? Are the Charlemagne princes even crazier than the Chinese heads of state?
"Once the war begins, the biggest issue is how to end it." The motto of the old Japanese imperial army general Yuraki Taro was not remembered by his apprentices and grandchildren. As a result, the fire was ignited everywhere in Japan and eventually lost to the pets of the ghosts and beasts of the United States. Also used to sell. Charlemagne’s soldiers did not know, and did not want to know this "failure" speech, and their doomsday was doomed.
In the final analysis, in addition to the militarism and the conspiracy of the consortium, the most important thing is that the officers want to be promoted and make money.
Soldiers want to climb up by fighting and bribing. Like the new officers and non-commissioned officers in the Titans and the Army, they do not have the means and the spare money like the nobility officers. Can only choose to fight. As for who to knock down is not a problem, as long as it can be beaten. As for the political form and the comprehensive national strength comparison, they simply do not care, or do not want to see it. Who dares to say "no", sorry, can only die.
"This group of guys dare to do everything in order to put on the general brief as soon as possible. There is no such thing as "impossible."
Closing the report, the q version of Li Lin looked sorry.
"It's not all from you."
The girl snorted softly and turned her face away.
"Don't always put on a stinky face, that beautiful face is all ruined."
"Whose fault do you think this is?!!!"
The girl who was stabbed in the pain broke out in one breath.
"A potion, bundling, and uncovered meeting for Minerva... First of all, regardless of these messes, what is the matter of pouring potion directly into the water supply system!!!"
"Well, it was just medicine for the girl's boudoir water supply pipe, and it was put on the edge of the pond after it was used. Unexpectedly, after Sister Diana fell into a storm, it affected the angel. The sable was running around. , Accidentally bumped the bottle of Chihan 2.0 into the pool, and the person who drank the water was naturally the same as Her Royal Highness."
"Don't say such a serious thing in that relaxed tone! Do you know how much trouble this has caused me?! Would you like to go out and try to add a variety of beast chase to a group of men and women?!!!"
The young girl... No, Roland, who turned into a virgin, trembling with his arms, regardless of race or age, the Governor’s House shouted his name up and down, threw his face hungrily-the pair was called awesome The sight of him made him afraid even now.
The approach of a large group of zombies is terrifying enough, but Roland's situation is still above this. All muscles are intertwined. A middle-aged uncle who can smell the smell of sweat from a long distance; aunt with full face and flesh, pushing too much fat and wrinkles on his face, chest, abdomen, and hips; beasts such as cats, dogs, horses, and griffins; and A female face like a flower praying mantis, but that transcends the "majestic" to the "huge" category... Although the male praying mantis can be eaten by the female during mating, it can continue to cop for an hour, mixed with Mantis ingredients medicine can significantly promote male organ enlargement. Regardless of whether Roland is a male or a female, the giant siege hammer is obviously unbearable...
"No way, just ingest a small amount of dementia 2.0. It will respond to your hormone odor and stimulate the brain to secrete endorphins. The fastest and easiest way to solve the current crisis is to cut off male hormones, in other words, it is Hang up or wear a bracelet to become a woman, and wait for the medicine to pass."
"It turns out that hang-up and transgendering are at the same level...no!! After all, if you don't do such obscene things, you don't have this problem?!"
Faced with the question, the culprit of the incident was not in a hurry.
"The word nasty is strange. Roland sauce."
"What sauce, you--"
In any case, today he must correct his twisted personality-the determined Roland took a deep breath, but Li Lin did not expect to get a serious opening, he could only close his mouth first.
"I think that all sex-related things are regarded as taboos that cannot be talked about and can't be done. This kind of thinking is wrong. After all, life extension is the basic and instinct of biology? If you don't do it, Roland , Or Minerva. No longer exists? In this sense, it should be said to be a very noble act."
"Uh. Or, maybe you are right..."
The next second, Roland recovered.
"No! I'm talking about the bad things you did! The next potion made even beasts and homosexuals get estrus to me. Which kind of loftiness is this?"
"...This is the crux of the problem."
Li Lin sighed softly.
"The two people who really love each other can't have children because of gender and race issues. Don't you think this is a very sad thing?"
"You are strange to be sad about this kind of thing..."
"There is always a contradiction between ideals and reality. In order to bring the world closer to ideals, it is necessary to work harder. Finally, there are ‘magic’ and ‘technological’, and it is not impossible to resolve this level of contradiction.

"Leave me a little nonsense, what is the point of solving this problem?"
"It's nothing, but I think that if we solve the problem of conspiracy between and lily, it should be able to cause a big change in medicine, biology, and ethics. The religious world no longer has to shout that'Kelo must burn to death'. Magicians can also find true love at ease."
"Don't bring this kind of moral change to the world."
"In this way, even if you don't touch a woman, I can ask Flower Mantis, Parsifal, Tristan, Casper to study true love with you."
"The purpose is really this..."
With a long sigh, Roland raised his head and asked:
"It's enough to make trouble, what do you say about the matter I raised?"
"Preparing a new military school...is it?"
Li Lin smiled slightly.
The Charlemagne army introduced the tradition of running schools from the consortium, and even introduced the concept of "childhood military school", starting from elementary school all the way to the non-commissioned officer school, specializing in the training of military personnel. This kind of soldiers trained from elementary school is considered as a soldier, at least at the level of tactical theory, their performance is quite competent. But this group of people do not understand politics or society, only war. Their test scores must be excellent, and a large part of those who pass are those. This kind of person who knows nothing about politics and society, once they have reached an important position and have not restricted their power, what they will do is conceivable.
What's more terrible is that in this military school, the consortium secretly moved a lot of hands and feet.
The most direct is the course arrangement.
Regardless of whether it is the army or the military school in Titans, infantry, artillery, cavalry, and engineers are all available, but there is no shortage of heavy soldiers. The regulations for the heavy soldiers are as follows: If you graduated from the Cavalry Division of the Sergeant School, you can apply for the exam, but return to the cavalry after graduation. That is to say, Charlieman's army did not even think of being a staff officer at the military station. A transport class has been set up in the army logistics system to carry out one-stop management.
Speaking of ancient soldiers and bandits, the local lords will spend a lot of money to recruit mercenaries. The mercenaries have to solve the problem of eating by themselves. How can these big soldiers honestly buy and sell? Most of them are buying and selling, or simply robbing with a knife. The Charlemagne army, which has continued this glorious tradition, will naturally not attach importance to the construction of military depots and logistics management. Anyway, the consortium has arranged this matter. If it is not possible, it will use the bayonet to engage in food, and whoever will take care of that.
There is a mantra circulating in Charlemagne's army: "If you can count the soldiers as dragons, dragonflies can also count as eagles." It means that the logistic soldiers are not soldiers, and the staff at the depot are not staff. It can be seen how much they despised logistics management.
The arrangement of other courses is also very evil. The courses set by the military academy are divided into "general studies" and "military studies". General studies include transportation, history, mathematics, statistics, public international law, law, and foreign languages. A total of 608 hours; military science is divided into disciplines and technical disciplines. Disciplines include equestrianism, health, accounting, weapons, architecture, staff training, war history, Tactics, UU reading www.uukanshu.com sea tactics, terrain, sand table, fortress tactics, a total of 1796 hours, technical courses including equestrian, visiting, field survey, actual combat tactics, staff exercise training, war history travel, grassroots service, autumn exercises, special Great exercises. Excluding equestrian, there are 304 days, equestrian is 806 hours.
I can't see any problem from the course setting alone, but the schedule is very problematic. If the tactical class time is 10, the war history related class is only 3, and the real staff business class is only 1.
Who is this military school training? This tactical first course arrangement is only suitable for training brigade-level chief officers and division-level adjutants, and it is impossible to train real staff at all, let alone sophisticated war machines like the General Staff of the Defense Forces. Commander-level and brigade-level troops are enough. When encountering the large depth of the army, all the arms of the armed forces cooperate and completely blind themselves. In a full-scale war, this group of people cannot be expected to make a good combat plan, let alone coordinated command.
Finally, what makes Roland feel most incredible is that Charlemagne’s military school teaches tactics and strategies, but does not teach war. The core dogma of war theory that the first-year students of the Alfheim Junior Military School will recite—war is the continuation of politics, and war is the escalation of politics—is not seen in the Charlemagne Military Academy.
This way of running a school is a pit. Big, deep, the kind that will make Charlemagne irrevocable. (To be continued...)
