After a five-kilometer run, the feelings between the soldiers immediately rise to a new level, and something called trust grows.

In the Cossacks of the Imperial Russian era, there was basically no such thing as "trust", and trust was basically non-existent between troops and troops, and between soldiers and soldiers.

Napoleon's famous quote fixed the image of the Cossacks, in fact, the Cossacks were responsible for the Russian army in the imperial Russian era, the Russian troops in the imperial Russian era, not only the Cossacks, all the troops were the same, the individual ability was extremely strong, and the group operation was scattered, coupled with chaotic command and poor logistics, the stomach was not full, and the weapons could not even be shot by man, how powerful can it be?

After the reorganization of the umbrella, the Cossacks immediately radiated amazing combat effectiveness.

Compared with the days of Imperial Russia, the logistical supply of the umbrella was a luxury, and the officers and soldiers were served with meat for every meal, sometimes beef, sometimes chicken, and more importantly, anchovies abundant in the Sea of Marmara.

These anchovies are not easy to preserve, the meat is not delicious enough, and the taste is not good, but for the Cossacks, the well-cooked anchovies are still a rare delicacy, and compared with the Chinese chefs hired by the umbrella, the Russian aunts who can only stew potatoes are really unbearable.

In addition to meat, the umbrella also offers an abundance of eggs and after-dinner fruits, and the coffee supply is unlimited and available anytime, anywhere.

The most popular among Cossacks is vodka, which has become the most popular prize, whether it is training or playing, as long as you take out vodka, even the thinnest Cossacks will immediately turn into Homo erectus bears.

After each day's training, the instructors organize a variety of sports activities to strengthen the team spirit of the soldiers, and tug-of-war and rugby are the most popular.

Tug-of-war is one of the activities that best embodies teamwork, this sport not only requires good physical strength, but also requires close cooperation between members, the key is that tug-of-war does not have high requirements for the venue, only a rope can be lifted anytime and anywhere, which is very important for the Cossacks who download Nai.

In fact, the Cossacks prefer rugby, compared with tug-of-war, rugby is a collision of strength and body, the kind of muffled hum and heavy impact sound made when the body collides, can form the most direct stimulation to the Cossacks watching the game on the sidelines, whenever a rugby game is held, the stadium will be crowded with spectators, officers often organize squadron-level confrontations, and every game is like a major holiday.

In fact, the chance of injuries caused by rugby is still relatively high, so the hospital was overcrowded for a short time, Alexander and Angel had to restrict the rugby game, and these Cossacks were really desperate, and they didn't want to go down the field if they broke their ribs in the game.

"Rugby is born for brave Cossacks, it's a sport made for Cossacks, we shouldn't limit that, even if they get injured in the game, they don't complain." On this issue, there is a disagreement between Alexander and Angel.

"Alexander, our goal is not to develop rugby stars, but to strengthen the sense of teamwork among the soldiers, and sports are just auxiliaries." Angel was influenced by Roque and did not like sports very much.

Southern Africa has not been very keen on sports for a long time.

It's not that sports are bad, but almost all sports that focus on the body will inevitably become physical confrontation in the end, and the yellow race does not have an advantage in the physical confrontation, and even the white people do not have an advantage, and in the end, the arena dominated by physical confrontation will become a show of a certain race.

In Southern Africa, the role of sport is only to strengthen the body, not to get a place in the competition, and there is no need for sport to improve international standing, and sport does not actually contribute to international standing.

In the 21st century, a few African countries have a monopoly on all the world's running medals, but almost no one remembers the names of those countries, and even the running events are gradually neglected.

The most popular event in southern Africa is the marathon, but the marathon in southern Africa only accepts local registrations, and people from other countries are not eligible to participate at all.

To put it mildly, it is wishful thinking to make the marathon a city card, and I have never heard of a city that is famous for its marathon.

"Also, this month four soldiers have broken their ribs, two have broken their arms, and one has broken their legs because of rugby, and this is still our strict demand, if we let it go—" Alexander was also afraid, and the Cossacks were indeed fanatical.

The Cossack fanaticism was not only for sports, but also for loyalty, the Cossacks of the Imperial Russian era, who fought for the Tsar without fear of death, went forward and followed, and now the object of their loyalty has been changed to a protective umbrella, so they will also go forward for the umbrella.

In other words, for the sake of southern Africa.

"Some soldiers want to take their families out and send them to Cyprus or southern Africa, is there any way?" The longing in Alexander's eyes melted the ice.

"It's difficult, now that Russia is at war, if we send people to Russia, it could be seen as hostile by the new Russian government." Angel is not optimistic, the Russians have always been extremely cruel to their enemies, just look at how they treated Nicholas II.

Nicholas II was still the Tsar father of the Russians.

"Merchant, we can do it through Merchant." Alexander considered that although the new Russian government was at war with the Allies, trade had not been completely terminated, as evidenced by the merchant ships that sailed through the Bosphorus.

"What about the cost?" Angel is thinking more and more comprehensively, and it is not enough to rely on enthusiasm to get people out of Russia, and businessmen are driven by profits.

Alexander opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

The umbrella of this money will certainly not bear, and in the promise of the umbrella, there is no clause in this regard.

The Cossacks could not afford the cost, and the vast majority of the Cossacks were destitute, serving in the Imperial Russian army for a meager salary, and were often deducted by their superiors, and even if they died in battle, they received only a meager pension, or nothing.

Alexander could not afford to pay for it, and in order to sustain the army, Alexander had lost all his wealth and was now destitute.

"Wait, there may be a chance when the situation calms down." Angel first reassured Alexander, the soldiers' needs in this regard were not urgent.

In troubled times, when life is like a mustard, and communication is not developed, it is not easy to get in touch with your family, let alone pick them up from the territory of Russia.

What's more, the Cossacks are willing to take it, and it depends on whether the Cossacks' families are willing to leave Russia, and the Cossacks are not gypsies who wander around the world for their families.

Not to mention Russia proper, even the Bosphorus is not safe, and one day in April, a unit stationed on the eastern shore of the Bosphorus was attacked by unidentified forces, killing two soldiers and wounding four.

"We were on patrol when we suddenly remembered the fierce gunfire in the woods next to us, the captain was killed on the spot, the deputy captain was seriously wounded, we fought and retreated under the cover of armored vehicles, and then the camp was attacked by mortars—" The wounded Sergeant Maxim was sent to Dingyuan Fort for treatment, his injuries were relatively minor, and the other three were all more serious.

"Who did that?" Angel will definitely retaliate, whether it is the Entente forces or the remnants of the Ottoman army, as long as they dare to launch an attack on the umbrella, then they will have to bear the consequences.

"It's not clear yet, but it's mostly Kimar's troops." Xue Tai, the commander of the 6th Wing stationed on the east bank of the Bosphorus, had a solemn expression, and after accepting the reorganization of the umbrella company, the 2nd Mountain Brigade resumed its garrison on the east bank of the Bosphorus.

"Send a telegram to Kimar, I want to get a result, if Kimar does not admit it, then send troops to the east and drive all the troops near the Bosphorus away." Angel was decisive, the east coast of the Bosphorus was originally controlled by France, but France suffered heavy losses during the world war and could not complete the occupation of the east shore of the Bosphorus, and now the east coast of the Bosphorus is under the control of the remnants of the Ottoman Empire.

The remnants of the Ottoman Empire that rebelled against the rule of the Entente were not only Kimar, but Kimal was relatively strong, with more than 10,000 men under his command.

"In that case, we need more troops to complete the clearance of the Bosphorus." Xue Tai's strength was insufficient, and the entire army of the Sixth Wing was less than 3,000 people.

The basic establishment of the mountain brigade consists of 12 people, including the captain and deputy captain, the detachment has a total of 40 people in three squads, the squadron is about 130 people and the company, the detachment is 400 people, and the brigade is about 1,300 people.

"It doesn't matter, I will send the second and fourth wings to support you at that time, 10,000 people are enough to complete the clearance of the eastern shore of the Bosphorus." Angel was not worried about troops, and if necessary, Angel could bring more troops from the valley of the two rivers to Constantinople at any time.

However, in that case, it will arouse the suspicion of the "Straits Management Committee", and it will feel really bad to be constrained by others.

Angel's fears eventually came true, and Kimar denied it, denying that it had anything to do with Kimal's troops.

Angel and Alexander did not hesitate and gave the order to attack on April 20.
