Macho Wars

We are busy here, and the director’s car finally arrived at the scene.Howard brought a full two hundred imperial soldiers, and as soon as he came over, he took over the close guard work of Sidney XIV.

Howard met the old emperor alone for the first time, and even Alicia and Enfia who came with him were stopped outside the tent.When Howard saw that Sidney XIV was safe and sound, he was relieved, but his brows became tighter.

"How are you going to deal with this matter?"

"What else? It's just a small accident."

"This is not small!"

"But it's an accident, you know what I mean."

The old emperor took a sip of the hot drink, and the old god was looking at Howard, and both sides fell silent for a while.

"Go back and talk about it."

The old emperor took a short rest in the temporary tent set up on the scene, and when his body warmed up, he drove back to the city directly.The two troops participating in the exercise also received orders, all exercises were cancelled, the troops returned to their garrison, and the airship crash site was handed over to a specialized engineering unit.

Before the First Marine Division was withdrawn, the commander of the 52nd Division, Soldier Snake, came to the door.Although the two sides had a fate on the director's side, they had not had a formal conversation before.

After the two people met, Sneek took the initiative to shook hands with Kane and Dragon, showing great enthusiasm.

"Hello, General Mountbatten and General Lee. I have always wanted to find a chance to have a good chat with the two heroes. Today I finally got what I wanted."

"You have a good reputation, General Snake."

The so-called not hitting the smiley people, Kane and Dragon originally thought that Snake was here to provoke. Just like the old people in the Central Military Region, they would reject them as "outsiders", but Snake is obviously not of this type. people.

When the one-eyed general came up, he did not hesitate to say something about his own beauty and praised them for being a model of the Imperial Army.

Especially for Dragon, Sneek said that he had been following him for two or three years.At first I heard that he led a group of defeated soldiers on the New World side to fight guerrillas behind the enemy, and then the tenacious defense of Longgong Island, and then to the Far East battlefield not long ago.

Sneek claims to be his "number one fan" and knows many of the tactics used against Dragon.

Unlike other troops in the Central Military Region, Sneek and his troops had actual combat experience in the Hipa War a few years ago.In the early days of that war, he witnessed the imperial army's rigid and rigid tactical thinking, which caused many troops to have an absolute advantage in number and equipment, but they were still passive and suffered one after another, and finally lost the game. A war that can obviously be won.

So after returning to China, Sneek began to reflect. He did not try to throw the pot to others like other officers. He attributed all the responsibility for the war failure to weapons and equipment or those grass-roots officers and soldiers who were only responsible for acting on orders, and accused them of not being brave enough.

Sneek did not go to the front line to inspect the battlefield. Indeed, he had seen many cowards who were greedy for life and fear of death, but he had also witnessed how warriors gave up their lives.

What really went wrong was the tactics they used!

So Sneek felt pained, and began to concentrate on studying strategy and tactics, and experimenting with his own troops. At this time, a series of Dragon’s deeds appeared in front of Sneek through the newspapers. He opened a door.

Chapter 377

At the current stage of the imperial military, there are not a few high-ranking officials and generals who hold the view of "weapon victory".

Most of these people are military aristocrats with a long family history, and they admire the chivalry spirit of being righteous and not gimmick. They believe that the glory of war is to use strength to defeat opponents from the front.

Under the influence of the descendants of these knights, many middle and lower-level officers also followed suit, not paying attention to or even despising tactics.

Especially those elites who were born in nobles and graduated from the Central Military Academy. They performed well in the school and were often able to memorize textbooks such as "Infantry Exercise Code" and "Major Affairs Order in the Formation".Then, holding these pamphlets in actual combat, the so-called "regular operations" were carried out dogmatically and rigidly.

These elites of the academy have awakened after suffering a few losses better. They are afraid that they will run into that kind of tendon. If they have to run to the dark one by one, it is really harmful to others!

In response to these problems, the empire’s military education system has indeed undergone corresponding reforms in recent years. The intermediate and advanced courses of the military academies have added new courses that keep pace with the times, such as battle analysis.But after all, the old ideas are deeply ingrained, and there are so many high-ranking fans that it is difficult to change overnight.

Snake, who was also born in the knight family, was once a firm supporter of "True Fight". He was widely praised for his brave and fearless combat style and was hailed as the "modern knight model."

However, it was his brave and fearless fighting style that caused his troops to suffer heavy losses in the early days of the Hippa War.

In one of the most tragic battles, his 52nd division was turned around by the enemy. Although he finally took the enemy's position, his own casualties exceeded a quarter. Sneek also lost an eye in this battle. The opponent's loss was minimal.

The irony was that the superior saw that Sneek had completed the task "beautifully", and sent someone to send him the award immediately.

Snake was on the bed in the field hospital and received the certificate and medal from Shangfeng. When he thought of such a gadget, he used the blood and lives of more than three thousand men in exchange for it. Miscellaneous, there is no joy of victory at all.

This battle was very touched by Sneek. After the war, he and his troops returned to the country. It took a few months to compile a summary report on the Hipa War, and then submit it to the Imperial Army. Attract the attention of Shangfeng.

Although Sneek's report didn't make much waves in the end, it attracted many like-minded people for him.They are generally first-line mid-level and senior commanders who are qualified to read Sneek's report and can resonate with them.

These officers from different military regions and units formed a small-scale pen pal club, and exchanged ideas about leading troops and new tactics through letters. From time to time, they also organized a wave of meetings.

Today's pen pal club has nearly a hundred people, and gradually formed a small influential new political group.Snake took the initiative to find Kane and Dragon, hoping to pull them both into the meeting.

In order to impress the two, Sneek listed some of the benefits that can be brought about by joining the association. In addition to communication and learning, the connections in the imperial military are undoubtedly their biggest selling point.

The Penpal Club not only has more than a dozen general members, three of whom are also princes of the empire.Especially the eldest prince Philavi, the vast majority of the nobles and people in the empire believed that he would be the man who became "Sidney XV".

However, Snake didn't mention this. It's okay. Dragoon, who was already a little excited, immediately became alert when he heard the name of the prince!

"Emmm... let me think about it!"

After sending away General Sneek who wanted to invite the two of Dragoon to "skirt", the First Marine Division, who had packed up, set off to return to its garrison.

On the way back, Dragon and Kane chatted about the results of the exercise.There was nothing to say about the 25th division. The brethren had a good fight, just a standard abuse game.

The real value is the battle against the 52nd Division, and it is rare to run into a well-matched opponent.But unfortunately, the two sides had not yet made a few moves, and the exercise was hurriedly stopped due to an accident.

After the troops returned to their garrison, they soon received a notice from their superiors that all officers and soldiers of the First Marine Division were canceled.

In the next few days, the official media successively reported news about the accident, but only said that an airship crashed due to fire during the exercise. Nothing else was mentioned. It was an understatement on the big thing. The pen is over.

of course!Those who can be fooled by these reports are the civilians and little nobles who are not interested in the current situation.In the imperial capital, anyone with a small identity can more or less get some "inside information".

From this incident, they smelled a conspiracy.

The great prince Felavi, who had returned to the Southeast Military Region, also received news from the empire's "friends". After reading the content of the letter, his brows became more frowning.

"It seems someone can't wait!"

"His Royal Highness, you mean, someone wants to..."

Filaville immediately stopped his staff, told him not to speak any more, and then silently nodded.

As the first prince, Filavi knew very well in his heart that the battle for the crown prince of the empire was far from the seeming harmony.Eighteen adult princes were all soldiers, forming four or five small groups, and the fights between each other can be said to be non-stop.

However, the old emperor has been reluctant to establish an heir, and used the throne to hang the appetite of all his sons, so that they dare not relax for a while.

In addition to legitimate competition, some unseen tricks are also commonplace.

Looking at this incident, Filavi believes that many nobles in the imperial capital have already thought of "assassination" for the first time.In line with the principle of who benefits the most and who is most suspected, Filavi, who has the status of "first heir", is undoubtedly the target of public criticism.

In addition, the old emperor was not very happy because of some "actions" in the past few years, and it is inevitable that people will take the opportunity to use it.

The several staff present at the scene obviously thought of this possibility, some suggested to prepare early, and some suggested to show concern to the emperor.

Firavi looked around, and finally fell on a handsome, elegant man with long hair. He was the only one who remained silent.
