"Chapter 47: New Requirements"
1. Believe in love, even if it brings you sorrow.
– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)
"I've warned you not to tell your brother too much of the above, you're challenging my patience. As soon as she walked into her temporary room, a handsome man in a white robe appeared in front of Charlotte's eyes.
"Aren't you a messenger of God?" Charlotte, who was not afraid of this, said sarcastically directly: "Could it be that the high-minded and omniscient God of Light can't even control the fate of a little mortal? ”
"Hmph, you're looking for death!!" The handsome man, who couldn't stand the stimulation of words, pinched Charlotte's neck with his right hand and lifted her up violently, with only the murderous intent spreading out of his eyes, without the slightest trace of pity and pity.
"Ahem...... Then you're going to kill me...... Ahem......" Charlotte, who coughed violently due to poor breathing, still did not show any intention of giving in, and even the eyes in her eyes when she looked at the handsome man were full of hatred and stubbornness.
"Hmph, if I kill you like that, it will be too cheap for you. The handsome man with a cruel smile casually put Charlotte on the ground and said, "I will let you live well in this world and witness your relatives die one after another in front of you!"
"You demon!" Charlotte, who had a painful look on her face, got up from the ground with difficulty, and changed the subject: "You said that the people above need me to recruit Bai Feng for the Holy See, but I don't have enough chips in my hands, what can I use to recruit him who is in a high position?"
"The high power of the secular world is only a passing moment. The handsome man said disdainfully, "After seeing him, you just need to take out the Divine Light Ball and tell him the value of the Divine Light Ball, I am sure that he will definitely make a wise choice." ”
"Even if he chooses to join our Holy See, it is impossible for him to let go of his power and status in the Celestial Dragon Empire. Charlotte, who regained her composure, said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid it's not easy to get him to go to the holy mountain of our Holy See. ”
"The people above do want to see Bai Feng on the Holy Mountain, but not now. The handsome man who frowned said in a slightly stiff tone: "You are only responsible for coming forward to recruit Bai Feng, and the people above other things have their own arrangements, so you don't need to worry about it." ”
"If a big battle breaks out between Bai Feng's army and the Jurchen tribe's army, will we help him, or will we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Charlotte continued to ask: "If he succeeds in defeating the Jurchen army, can Bai Feng, whose power is growing and stable, really be recruited by us?"
"Can the battle between two secular armies change anything?" After an arrogant rhetorical question, the handsome man said casually: "Such a trivial matter can be decided by yourself according to the situation, and there is no need to ask anyone specifically." ”
"Someone came in the yard, and I went first. Suddenly noticing movement in the courtyard where the room was located, the handsome man warned Charlotte again: "Next time you dare to talk nonsense in front of your brother, I will kill him with my own hands!"
After finishing speaking, the handsome man in the white ** robe disappeared in an instant; Charlotte, who had exchanged words with the handsome man for several rounds before, disappeared without a trace of the indifferent expression on his face after the handsome man disappeared, replaced by deep fear and powerlessness.
The four standing legions that Duke Cullen promised to provide to Bai Feng were the 74th Legion and the 77th Legion that were being trained, and the 82nd Legion and the 84th Legion, which had just been formed, were all newly established standing legions with extremely poor combat effectiveness.
As for the 30,000 military recruits outside the four standing legions, they were even more imperial youths who had just put on their military uniforms for less than a month, and even if Bai Feng accepted them, he would not be able to replenish them into the army in a short period of time, or form a new legion based on them.
In fact, the purpose of the Imperial Military Department to hand over 30,000 new soldiers to Bai Feng was not to provide Bai Feng with reserves who could replenish the battle losses of the standing army at any time, but to deliberately let Bai Feng form another cavalry corps specifically for the grassland tribe.
Otherwise, how could Duke Kulun hand over 10,000 extremely valuable war horses to Bai Feng; these 10,000 war horses of acceptable quality were the necessary resources for Duke Kulen to let Bai Feng form a cavalry legion, and the other 30,000 recruits were secondary resources.
Everyone knows that the inland, eastern, southwestern, western, and southern provinces of the empire are all regions with almost no war horse production areas, and there are no war horses, so naturally there is no potential source of cavalry soldiers who can ride horses, and it is even less likely that recruits recruited from these regions will become cavalry.
Before the war between the three steppe tribes invaded the north of the empire, the empire could buy a large number of high-quality war horses from the steppe tribes every year to form cavalry and haul goods.
The four northwestern provinces and the six northern provinces, which are closest to the grasslands, will inevitably gradually become more and more abundant in their own horse resources, and as the number of horses increases, the number of people who can ride horses will naturally increase, and these people are the best source of cavalry.
Therefore, on the surface, it seems that the Imperial Military Department provided Bai Feng with soldiers, war horses, weapons and equipment, and asked Bai Feng to form a cavalry corps; in fact, it was Bai Feng himself who had to find a way to recruit soldiers, forge weapons, buy war horses, and form a cavalry corps subordinate to the Imperial Military Department.
Otherwise, relying only on the shoddy weapons and equipment provided by the military department, the war horses with insufficient quantity and poor quality, and the recruits who can't stand in the basic queue, the cavalry corps formed will probably be enough to even march on horseback, and fight a fart battle!
Bai Feng, who was far away in the province of Besançon, received an order from the Imperial Military Department to prepare for the formation of a cavalry corps before the four standing regiments and 30,000 recruits arrived in Besançon.
In an empire that lacks cavalry strength, there are no outstanding cavalry generals, but there are exceptions to everything, and when Duke Kleist led his army to the north of the empire more than twenty years ago, he cultivated some good cavalry generals, and Donald was one of them.
Cavalry monster Jie Donald, that is a famous cavalry general in the Imperial Army, the cavalry unit he commanded at the beginning, even the steppe cavalry who lived on horseback since childhood is ashamed of himself; such a powerful cavalry general is simply a rare treasure in the Imperial Army!
What makes people helpless is that General Donald, who is extremely good at commanding cavalry operations, is the commander of the 37th Army Corps at this time, and the 20,000 soldiers under his command are outright pure infantry;
As long as the military department agrees to transfer General Donald to his command as the commander of the cavalry corps, Bai Feng is willing to find a way to solve the problems of soldiers, weapons and equipment, and war horses that must be solved in the process of forming the cavalry corps; otherwise, he will not accept this order from the military department.
In the face of Bai Feng's new request, Duke Cullen, who had just been restored to his original title, agreed without even thinking about it; anyway, Donald was not his confidant general, so if he was transferred to Bai Feng, he would be transferred to Bai Feng, maybe he could use this to provoke the contradiction between Bai Feng and Duke Kleist!
Of course, the self-comforting Duke Cullen also knows that the relationship between Bai Feng and Duke Kleist is very close;
