15. Prologue (9)

Lieutenant Colonel Paul Emile Leto-Forbeck suppressed his impulse, and the Lieutenant Colonel of the Wehrmacht's colonial garrison, who had always been known for his gentlemanly manners, stared out the window at a whole line of stupid Principality Forces nouvelles soldiers, with a cold expression and piercing eyes, wondering whether it was time to rip out the brains of these fools and wash them.

Prior to his transfer to the United Principality of Rus', Lieutenant Colonel Leto-Forbeck served as commander of the garrison in the southern colony of Dar es Salaam. The so-called garrison force is to recruit and train personnel of military age from among the aborigines, and assume the responsibility of security and security in the colony.

This was an expedient measure given the limited strength of the defense forces, but it worked out quite well. Many of the Hippo orcs were drafted and, after rigorous training, were able to perform their duties in general. Although it sometimes happens that 12 wagons equipped with the latest electric compasses are driven in 4 different directions, the radio dispatch will say the strange code phrase "Turnip, turnip, you have a big pancake on your left." "Potatoes, potatoes, you have a bundle of green onions behind you. ”...... And so on and so on for the joyful events that brought tears to the eyes of the commanders. But on the whole, these black orcs are quite obedient, able to endure hardships, and work hard. Combined with Leto-Forbeck's patience, perseverance, and skill, the colonial garrison in Dar es Salaam became a model force overseas.

Naturally, those who can achieve results will be rewarded, and the matter of his promotion has already been put on the agenda, and according to the grapevine, the lieutenant colonel may even receive a medal. In the context of the Council's deliberations on the Law on the Conferral of Military Merit, a Knight's Cross is a powerful guarantee of obtaining nobility in the future, and the lieutenant colonel seems to be one step closer to the small dream of "adding 'Von' to his surname".

At the right time. Leto-Forbeck received an order from the General Staff, and the ambitious lieutenant colonel, who had stood tall in the colony for many years, was transferred to the muddy United Principality of Rus'.

The General Staff looked at the experience of the lieutenant colonel's successful teaching of orc soldiers, and hoped that Leto Forbeck would use this advantage to quickly put the new army of the principality on the right track.

-- At the very least, let them learn how to shoot and maintain.

At first glance, this is not a high requirement and is practically feasible. However, as everyone knows, there are many novel ideas that are flawless in theory, but when applied in practice, they are utter disasters.

This is exactly what happened to Leto Forbeck.

Most of the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles came from the Ural Mountains and were known for their bravery and hard work. But many of the bear's bad problems are also reflected in them.

The first is alcoholism. Leto Forbeck has long known about the bears' insane penchant for vodka and other alcoholic beverages. But he could never have imagined that the woolly bears would go to hospitals and train stations to steal, using medical alcohol and antifreeze as a substitute for antifreeze.

God, those things don't have a purpose for "drinking" no matter how you think about them. But the woolly bears can drink it into their stomachs without changing their faces......

More problematic than alcoholism. It is the soldier's su zhì. These GIs are indeed hard-working. But most of them are illiterate, undisciplined and team-oriented. Not only can they not be expected to learn how to use and maintain their weapons, but they also have to deal with fights and desertions on a daily basis......

It is not impossible to train such a group of drunkards and ruffians into qualified soldiers. Relying on the "whip of love", "the fool who makes a mistake is tied to a tree, and a bottle of vodka hangs in front of his eyes, which he can see and drink", "eat 'burritos with black beans and rice' for three meals a week...... A series of methods that frightened the bears, the new army was finally trained to look like a modern army. In a little while, they will be able to complete the second stage of training, which is enough to compete with the new armies of the human race, but time is something that both the lieutenant colonel and the principality are extremely scarce.

In a week at most, this group of recruits will be about to open the Brest Fortress, but at the moment, not only is the training not completed, but the weapons are not fully in place. How to make these rookies with eggshells on their butts as effective as possible has become Leto Forbeck's most anxious thing, just before the lieutenant colonel suffered from insomnia and almost suffered from a nervous breakdown, his savior came.

"Please sign here, sir. ”

Parsifal pointed to the lower right corner of the delivery text, and was really relieved. After several days of amphibious trucks, armoured trains, and several days of braising on Besmos's back, he finally delivered 1,200 flintlock muskets, 200 flintlock rifles, 600,000 bullets, 5,000 chain-drop bombs, 20,000 canned luncheon meat, 20,000 M.R.E, and 500 boxes of medical supplies to the New Army. Now he just wanted to find a place to lie down and get a good night's sleep.

It was the last shipment he was responsible for overseeing the shipment, having already delivered at least 30,000 mines, 20,000 rifles, hundreds of thousands of field rations and hundreds of thousands of blankets to where they were supposed to go. For several weeks, the road conditions were surveyed daily, the load capacity of the railways and field roads was calculated, and a reasonable transport route was planned. Also beware of bandit attacks and bootlegging by soldiers of the Principality. Sleep was not enough, and several times she fell asleep leaning on Natalia's knees, only to wake up to find that she had heavy and plump breasts on her head......

Recalling the soft touch of the waves, the elven boy blushed for a moment, and soon he refilled his head with his work.

Although he was given a short day off, it did not mean that he could say goodbye to the United Principality of Rus and return to his office in the headquarters of the Alfheim Defense Forces, which was just the beginning.

News of Albion's undeclared war has spread throughout the principality, and the duchy's war machine is being activated, but the rotten and rusty machine is running slowly and full of noise. By the time the orcs have brought into play the strategic potential of this country, they are afraid that the Albians have already captured St. Petersburg, and the class will triumphantly. To make sure it didn't turn out to be like that, Alfheim decided to lube the duchy's warplanes.

Lubricants called "War Loans" and "Lend-Lease Act".

This is only a top secret that only a few people at the highest level and the relevant departments know, and a small lieutenant Parsifal naturally does not know so much, but from the list of logistics handled and the fact that the logistics department has entered a quasi-wartime operation state, he can conclude that the above may support the Duchy to fight this battle, and he does not need to expect to return in a short time.

Putting away the text, Parsifal continued to count the supplies with the receivers of the Duchy Army. At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Leto Forbeck received another of his saviors in his office.

"I was told that I would send reinforcements, but I didn't expect it to be someone like you, Major. ”

Leto Falbeck lowered his arm in return, his face unconcealed with surprise and joy on his face, and the man with the Edelweiss logo was smiling fearlessly.

Major Hans Konig, a veteran of the Consul's quest to bring back the Sword of Kingship, is now the headmaster of the Tsosen Sniper School and one of the top snipers in the Wehrmacht.

In addition to himself, there was also a hunting battalion with more than 800 excellent marksmen. In accordance with the secret instructions of the General Staff, secretly assisted the Principality Army in the defense.

For reasons of secrecy, they will enter the battlefield as principality troops, and if they are captured or killed, they will only have the identity of a "volunteer", and neither the defense forces nor the company will recognize their identity and will not take rescue measures. Every officer and soldier who participated in this operation was well aware of this, and wrote a suicide note before departure.

Although this is a limited number of "volunteers" with many constraints on combat, these snipers are enough to make some subtle changes in the balance of war when used in the right way and when when.

"Tell me, whatever you need, as long as it is within my ability, I will try to satisfy it. ”

The lieutenant colonel seemed very excited, which was a natural expression of the stress being relieved, and after being in a state of anxiety for a long time, it was inevitable that he would forget about it for a while after receiving good news one after another. Fortunately, Major Conig was not a military judge, and did not care about the lieutenant colonel's small gaffe, and only listened to his calm answer.

"The map also has a guide, sir, I want to familiarize myself with the battlefield environment in the frontier area with my subordinates before the war starts, and familiarize myself with the language and work of the principality army. ”

"That's all?"

"Rest assured, sir. ”

Major Koenig used a brief pause to emphasize the importance of the presentation.

"With that alone, we can make memories that will last a lifetime. ”

The faint smile is very handsome and cold, and it reminds people of the wild wolves in the mountains. (To be continued......)
