The Far Eastern military camp along the coast of Trincomalee has become extraordinarily quiet. The entire camp of the Far Eastern Army was filled with a tense atmosphere before the war, which made people feel extremely oppressive.

Hikten and his comrades sat in the tents in the camp in full armor, silently waiting for the rallying cry to sound. Orders were received from the battalion headquarters last night, and by seven o'clock today, all troops were ready to go. But it was almost eight o'clock, and the rallying cry was still not heard.

Everyone waited a little anxiously in the tent, but they didn't show much of it, just sat on their backpacks with expressionless faces and waited quietly. Hikten glanced at the platoon leader, who sensed something, turned his head to look at Hikten, and then grinned at him.

Hikten smiled and nodded, then began to check his gear one last time. A new "pot lid helmet" before the troops came to India, a grimace mask, a cold-rolled half-body armor made of stamped steel plates, a sundries bag containing three days' field rations and three sets of first aid kits, an aluminum kettle with lunch box cutlery, a horse and a knife, a double-barreled musket, forty rounds of ammunition, and four grenades with wooden handles. There is also a Type 28 cavalry revolver & gun as standard for the deputy platoon commander.

There was also a marching rucksack that contained a tropical sleeping bag, a raincoat, two sets of underwear and pants for washing, four pairs of cotton socks, a set of toothbrushes and toothbrushes, an aluminum dental jar, a pair of high-waisted galoshes, and other belongings.

"Didi...... Da ...... Tick ......"

The platoon commander sitting at the door of the tent stood up at once, and he shouted with a solemn face: "All stand up, pack your bags, check your equipment, and assemble outside the barracks in the order of the squad......

Everyone rushed out of the tent and lined up outside the tent. Then they ran to the military horse farm next to the camp as a company. The originally quiet camp became noisy in an instant, but there was no trace of chaos, except for the shouts of passwords, that is, the sound of running in unison, which was particularly solemn and solemn.

Columns of neat columns ran out of the camp in an orderly manner, and the soldiers' military boots were neatly stepped on the ground. There was a dull sound, a mighty momentum, which spread in an instant, and the suppressed breath was breathless.

Hikten's company ran into the horse farm, he quickly ran to the side of his horse, hung his backpack on the back of the horse, and then gently stroked the horse with his hand, soothing its emotions.

Last night, Hickten had already put on the harness for his horses, and he had fed them with concentrate in the middle of the night. The war horse saw Hikten. Affectionately arched his face with his head, snorted, and the hot air blowing on his cheeks, feeling itchy.

A hurried whistle sounded, and Hickten hurriedly turned on his horse and trotted to keep up with the troops. The warriors controlled their horses while running, formed a three-row column, and rushed towards the military port dock in the distance.

The cavalry ranks rushed out of the horse farm. Then they slowly gathered together to form a spectacular cavalry column. Ten thousand horses galloped, like a torrent of steel rolling forward.

Suddenly, Hickten heard a loud buzzing sound, and he turned his head to look, and was immediately stunned. I saw huge airships slowly rising into the air at the take-off and landing fields in the distance. Then he turned around the huge hull and slowly flew towards the coast.

Huge airships were one after the other, merging in the air, densely covering the sky. Slowly buzzing over their heads.

"Woohoo...... Woohoo......"

I don't know which soldier shouted excitedly, which provoked all the officers and soldiers in the queue to start pulling their throats. He shouted loudly and waved his hands at the airship in the air. In the end, tens of thousands of cavalry joined in the constant shouting, and the huge shouts shook the four fields and resounded throughout the sky.

Hikten also stared at his red eyes, the green tendons on his neck were tightly tensed, and he shouted like crazy with his throat, and the whirring sea breeze blew him, and Hikten felt that the blood on his body seemed to be boiling.

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen finally came to the seashore, and Hikten looked at the endless sails on the sea in the distance, and the huge warships were almost covered with the sea.

In the face of such a spectacular scene, Hickten's mood was extremely heroic, and he really wanted to continue to shout loudly a few times to vent his excitement.

At this moment, countless officers and soldiers in the Far East are slowly advancing towards the military port by the sea, as if a torrent is slowly converging into the sea, and the scene is incomparably spectacular.

Last year, the company began a large-scale expansion of the Tingkemali military port, lengthening the embankment wharf, one of which can berth two 10,000-ton ships for simultaneous loading, and more large warships can be berthed in other places.

A series of piers extending to the sea have also been built, which can allow a large number of small sailboats to be moored on both sides of the pier, and directly carry out the loading and unloading of goods and personnel.

Several large steam units were also built on the quay, which were used to power dozens of large cranes on the quay. After the expansion, the Tingkemali military port has not only greatly strengthened its berthing capacity, but also increased its cargo throughput capacity by more than ten times.

This time, the combined fleet sailed from Liaodong, and it was not empty all the way, but loaded with more than 100,000 Ming refugees. The displaced people were all resettled by the company in Jeju Island, Taiwan Island and Tuntian in the Ryukyu Islands last year, but these displaced people are not divided into farms and managed in the form of farms.

They have undergone rigorous winter training and have already acquired basic organizational discipline. After the Far Eastern Army launched the Indian campaign, they would also land on the coast of India one after another, implement the policy of guaranteeing production to households, and carry out large-scale farming.

Starting this year, the Far Eastern Company will send displaced people from all over the northern Ming Dynasty to India on a large scale to relieve the pressure on receiving displaced people in eastern Liaodong. The company's civil affairs committee will also dispatch civil staff to the Indian region, establish civil institutions at all levels in the Indian region, and manage the Daming displaced people in Tuntian throughout India.

A large number of port workers, led by the gendarmerie, made contact with the commanders of the various units, and then led the troops to the ships at the port wharf, although the wharf was full of people and the neighing of war horses, but there was not the slightest confusion.

The officers and men of various units lined up in a neat queue outside the military port, and then put down the backpacks behind them, sat on the backpacks in unison, and waited quietly to board the ship. The port staff walked out of the military port one after another, and the troops began to board their respective warships in an orderly manner. (To be continued.) )
