Macho Wars

According to his own ideas, Dragon listed the selection conditions of the new non-commissioned officer and the role he assumed.There is no need to wait until this war is over, they can start to engage in it now, and then test the effect in actual combat.

Brigadier Commander Kane felt very reasonable.

However, in this case, the number of middle and high-ranking non-commissioned officers in the Independence Regiment might not be rounded up by the workers and peasants alliance members hidden among the soldiers.

Chapter 290

Dragon's proposal was quickly handed over to the Expeditionary Force Command via Kane, and got a reply on the same day.

Henry was also troubled by the increasingly deteriorating military discipline of the troops, so he agreed to let Dragon conduct a small-scale pilot in the Independence Group.

So Dragon, who was allowed by his superiors, immediately made relevant adjustments to his troops.

With reference to the system of the US military on the other side of the earth, Dragon added 321 and three sergeant majors to the existing three non-commissioned ranks.While upgrading the corresponding benefits, it also significantly extended the service life, making the non-commissioned officer a true "professional soldier".

According to the military service system of the Imperial Army, the service life of officers and soldiers at all levels varies.There are two to three years for private soldiers, five years for non-commissioned officers, and eight years for lieutenants. There is no time limit for mid- to high-ranking officers and generals above major.

of course!There are exceptions, the most typical example is Chev Doron under Dragoon.

This old man is in his early fifties this year. Before he met Dragon, he had been a superior soldier for twenty-five years, and he should have retired and returned home.

However, the status of the colonial military region at that time was far worse than it is now, and the source of troops has never been abundant. Therefore, as long as many soldiers do not take the initiative to retire, they will not be forced to leave.

And his parents had been dead for many years, and he was unaccompanied in the colony, and the sense of homeless loneliness made him reluctant to leave the army.

After Qifu arrived under Dragon, he finally received the attention he deserved. With Dragon's promotion, he also rose to the rank of captain, and currently serves as company commander in the second battalion.

However, according to Dragon’s observations over the past few years, although Qifu is old, experienced, and decent, he is a rare and excellent veteran, but his commanding ability can only be said to be average. A company commander is almost his limit.

Therefore, this time the non-commissioned officer reform, Dragon took the initiative to find Chiff and talked to him about the new non-commissioned officer, hoping that someone would be a first-level sergeant and regiment non-commissioned officer in charge of managing all non-commissioned officers in the independent regiment.

Qifu didn't even think about it, so he readily agreed.

So the new reform system was quickly implemented in the independent regiment.Since there were almost no nobles in the old non-commissioned officers, and the personal-soldier system was not as popular as it was in the past, this small-scale pilot reform did not meet any resistance.

All unqualified non-commissioned officers who violated rules and disciplines were demoted or simply sent to private soldiers, and then promoted again in accordance with the new standards.

As expected by Dragon, the workers and peasants union accounted for nearly two-thirds of the new noncommissioned class.

The first task of the new noncommissioned officers after taking office was to assist the regiment in rectifying military discipline, and to contain the unraveling phenomenon that had begun to appear in the army in time, and the soldiers' mental outlook was also refreshed accordingly.

In a blink of an eye, October enters the second half of the month.

Since the Battle of the Fortress, there has been no large-scale battle between the coalition forces and the Principality Army, and the two sides have begun a confrontation across the river.

Taking advantage of this rare time, the Tarrance National Salvation Army quickly expanded its army with a large number of captured weapons and ammunition.They have retaken about 60% of the land, and more than five million Tarans have been liberated.

In order to protect this lost and restored country, the Tarans joined the army enthusiastically, and the total strength soon reached one hundred thousand.Although the combat effectiveness of these newly formed troops is still very weak, they have made their will very firm and would rather die than be the second subjugated slave!

Because he had seen the strong combat power of the Marine Corps, Levsto found Henry, the commander of the Expeditionary Force, hoping to hire some instructors from their Marine Brigade to help the National Salvation Army train new recruits.

Levsto knows the value of good instructors, so the price is very attractive.

So Henry agreed to the deal, but secretly told the Marine Brigade to "reserve one hand" when teaching.

On October 25th, Nass ushered in its first snowfall, and it was a big one at once. After a single day and night, the earth was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the temperature suddenly dropped from three degrees above zero. Down to minus fifteen degrees.

The empires from the warm south had never seen such a violent cooling, and were caught off guard.

Facing the coming of winter, Tarance was also very nervous. Due to the oppression and plunder of the Principality, the food reserves in the Guangfu District were only enough for the current population to last for two months, and other supplies were also very short.

But this year's winter came very early again, the first snow was big, and the complete melting of the ice and snow is initially expected to arrive in April next year.

This is bound to be a particularly difficult winter.

It is worth mentioning that after the first snowfall, Nas froze to death several hundred people that day, which undoubtedly refreshed the three views of many imperial soldiers.

Because before they came here, like many people living in the southern part of the mainland, they thought that people in the Far East must be particularly cold-resistant, and they might see locals wearing short shorts and shorts on snowy days.

But the fact is that they did see local people wearing shorts and shorts on a snowy day, but these were poor people, and they were still poor people who died of freezing.

No matter how high your cold-tolerant attributes are, you are hungry to the point that your face is yellow and thin and you don't have warm clothes to wear.

Fortunately, the expeditionary army has made preparations to spend the winter here, and shipped a large amount of cotton clothes in advance.In addition to these winter clothes for the soldiers of the Imperial Army themselves, some will also be distributed to relieve the Tarans.

After the heavy snowfall, in order to stabilize the military spirit and boost morale, Princess Karen visited and consoled various military camps, and even the imperial army camps did not fall.

When she came to the independent regiment of the Marine Brigade, Dragon could clearly see that her face was much more haggard compared to her previous recuperation in the New World, and her eyes seemed to have added a familiar sadness.

Karen's mother passed away due to illness in the New World. This is the news that Dragon only learned yesterday, and Fumi mentioned this in the family letter sent to him.

The hard-failed queen experienced the country’s destruction, the white-haired person gave away the black-haired person, the body and mind were tortured by endless grief, and finally left the world full of misery for her, leaving only Karen alone. one person.

At the thought of what the ruthless fate had done to this girl, Dragon couldn't help feeling pity.

At this time, Karen had come to Dragon, smiled and shook hands with him, then said.

"Colonel Li, thank you and your subordinates for everything you have done for our country. Every Tarrance person will remember this kindness forever."

"You praised, Your Royal Highness."

Under the guidance of Dragon, Kallen visited the station of the Independence Regiment and the field airport they built.The garrison at the airport has cleared the snow and poured a layer of anti-skid sand on the runway.

When the group came over, Yunlong was checking her landline with the ground crew.Haiyan has never conducted a winter cold resistance test, and they are collecting data.

Seeing Dragon coming over, Yunlong stood on the plane and waved to him, and Dragon responded with a smile.

Seeing the simple but warm and loving interaction between the couple, Karen suddenly felt a trace of envy that she had never had before.

Chapter 291

Once upon a time, Karen was also a girl who yearned for a beautiful love.

As a princess of a country, she has the birth and beauty that ordinary women dream of. She is deeply loved by her parents and three elder brothers, and her life is carefree.

At that time, she thought she was the happiest girl in the world. Just like many girls who were pregnant, she also secretly dreamed of a bright future when a handsome prince would come to marry herself.

But all this has now come to nothing. The cruel reality has just taken away the last of her beloved relatives, and she herself will soon marry an old man who is older than her late grandfather.

No matter how Karen hypnotizes herself and warns herself that this is a sacrifice that must be made for the country and the people, she cannot completely eliminate the pain and unwillingness in her heart. She can only try to hide it deep in her heart, and then One after another lonely and sleepless late at night, wept sadly.

This made Karen particularly envious of Alicia, envious that she didn't have to encounter all of what she had experienced, but also found a man who could make her love her.

Although Dragon is not a prince, he has married a wife and had children, but he is really a very good man with a very special temperament.

At first, I just wanted to examine this man for my friend, but the longer I contacted him, the more attracted to his temperament.

This made her more envious of Alicia and the female pilot named Yunlong not far away. Unconsciously, she was mixed with a trace of jealousy that she didn't even notice, and she couldn't help speaking in a faint tone.
