German Eagle: Steel and Magic

Chapter 18 Headquarters and Mud

The day's exercise ended with the annihilation of the first-year rookies.

At this time, they couldn't go back. It was already dark and they had to camp in the wild. There were sleeping bags in the backpack, otherwise they would use the ground as their mat and the sky as their quilt.

If a girl is already sad because of failure, then the mosquitoes at night will double the sadness. As a little man, Carl doesn't care much about mosquito bites, but he still hates them.

Today's trip has already made his body very tired, and even a little beyond the limit of endurance.

I had no choice but to bless the gods in my mouth, and gradually fell asleep.

The next day, before dawn, the loud whistle blew, and the students hurriedly stood up to pack their sleeping bags. This was not because of the discipline engraved in their bones, but because many of them didn't close their eyes at all.

At the risk of sudden death, he waited for the instructor's order.

"All class, go to Heights No. [-]."

Captain Kamartov said with a blank face, and then the whole squad lined up to the No. [-] highland, which is a full five kilometers away.

Fortunately, it was completed on time this time. In fact, it was still half an hour late, but the time set was outrageous. The instructor did not expect them to be on time, so they were still considered qualified.

The next thing is to dig the soil, which is something that must be done on the battlefield, digging fortifications.

Height No. [-] is just a small slope, which can be covered by a wave of artillery fire. The students have to rely on their hardworking hands to change the terrain, otherwise this small slope is no different from being declared dead in battle.

There are a total of three squads stationed this time. They want to build trenches and foxholes, and each of them has set aside a piece of land.It's a pity that the turf here is ruined. It is obviously a beautiful piece of green, but it turns out to be bumpy.

The only good thing is that the soil here is very soft, because there was a heavy rain a few days ago, which gave Karl a little relief.

However, the trench is required to be dug down to 1.5 meters, the foxhole is required to be no less than 1.3 meters, and the height of Karl is only more than 1.2 meters...

"Carl, you go over there to guard."

Captain Kamartov, a good man, noticed Karl, and had no choice but to hold his forehead speechlessly at this age, and signaled Karl to go to a forest outside to serve as a guard.

Karl swaggered towards the woods. Several people in the other class saw this lazy behavior and thought it was a privilege, and everyone gathered around and chatted.

Gustaliv was furious when he saw it. He felt that he was quite clear about Karl's character. Those who stand and talk without back pain are speaking ill of their friends!
The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and I was about to go forward to fight with an engineering shovel in my hand. Fortunately, the people next to me found it in time and stopped it. At this time, we can't fight in the nest.

Karl also noticed those people, and looked at them with the eyes of fools.Because they are students of the infantry mage training class, they are essentially different from their own status as aviation mages. In addition, there are hundreds of people in this training class, and there are three classes.

"Tsk, little miscellaneous fish."

Carl snorted. Although he didn't take it seriously, he remembered the faces of these guys and went to the woods to do security work.

"Look at that kid, I think he's just a dwarf."

"Don't say that, after all, he is very talented, so he traded his legs for it."

"Hahahaha, forget it, don't talk about it, that big guy is here."

At last the gossip ended under the watchful eye of Gustaliv.

"It's so boring to be punished here. This exercise is hard-won. Maybe I should catch rabbits or something."

Walking to the edge of the woods, Carl smiled.If he were to command the attack on Highland No. [-], he would definitely launch a surprise attack from this forest rather than attacking from a flat frontal road.

Karl already had a plan in mind, and was going to give some gifts to these seniors.

……

"What are you doing? How can there be a trap here?"

At this time, the second graders had already come to attack the No. [-] highland, and as expected, they adopted the method of feint attacking from the front.Before they came, they had imagined the first grade rushing to the head-to-head confrontation, and then having a gun held to the head.

However, a little cutie was digging pits crazily. He dug nearly twenty traps in an hour, buried combustible materials such as dry grass and leaves in them, and then burned away the sweet dreams of the second grade.

Karl didn't set fire to the forest, but too many people stepped into the trap. They watched a six-meter-old six run past them, and then burned themselves!
They escaped from the forest in a funny pose, and the first-year students also noticed this.

It was tantamount to declaring them dead.

"What's going on? Who set this on fire?"

The observer appeared out of nowhere, he immediately announced the cessation of the exercise, and then arranged for everyone to fight the fire.

Again, Karl really didn't set fire to the forest, but this was all within his expectations.Some unlucky guy kicked the burning stuff out of the pit, causing a fire.

Karl, the mastermind behind the scenes, didn't report what he had done, and Captain Kamartov didn't think about Karl at all. How could a cute boy who couldn't fight hard with his classmates because of his height have any bad intentions?

But some unlucky second graders were very angry. They were messed up, and some people lost a lot of clothes, but they were male students.They all swore to find the troublemaker and fuck his ass.

"I actually did it, Mr. Observer."

Just when the fire was under control, Karl stood up, blinking his big eyes, and saluted the observers who were chasing him.

"you……"

The observer looked at the 1.2-meter-tall boy, and swallowed the words of blessing that he was about to say. He was brewing his emotions and thinking about what to say by the way.

"Why did you do this? I didn't give you an order." Captain Kamartov walked up to Karl and asked seriously.

"Because I thought the opponent would attack from here, but we didn't respond as we should, so we simply set up tactical traps and burned the woods to expose them." Carl Jr. answered confidently, expressing his respect for The seriousness of the exercise.

The people who just came to watch were silent after hearing it, they were very curious about this Carl's brain circuit.

By the way, this forest was originally a loophole, to suppress the arrogance of the recruits for the second time.The instructor didn't expect that Karl would break the plan, because when he found out, he had already been attacked, and the first grade directly declared failure.

But the current situation is... all the second graders were killed in battle, which was unexpected, and the second graders who were going to pretend to be there would also be embarrassed.

But I can't say anything after all, because Karl burned the forest?A little boy who made a trap to prevent a sneak attack, not an arsonist or something.

For a while, observers did not know how to announce the result.

Coincidentally, a question from the exercise headquarters came from the walkie-talkie, asking "what happened?"

The observer directly threw this difficult problem to the headquarters, and let the headquarters make trouble for whatever they choose.

After the questioning of the two parties, about an hour later, the headquarters announced the final result after going through the matter.

They believe that Carl took actions without consulting his superiors, which is not in compliance with the regulations.However, considering the "results" he had achieved, this offensive and defensive exercise was repeated, and the second graders organized another attack.

"Tsk, I won't let you die, you are a good player with the mud."

Carl smiled when he got the final result.

It seems that the solution to this kind of thing is the same in any world, which is not surprising.
