Chapter 88 Arriving at the Barracks
"First, learn and practice with your heart, and learn the skills to make meritorious service;

The military uniform is your bodyguard, so it needs to be cleaned frequently.

Second, you must fight bravely, and you will live naturally without dying;
If you retreat and violate military orders, you will lose your reputation by floating on the wall.

The third is to treat the people with kindness, and rely on them to farm food and wages;
As long as the soldiers and the people form a family, the common people will help each other.

Four Mo rape people and women, which one is not born of parents?
Your family also has wives and daughters, how can you be humiliated? "

……

When Frederick came to the barracks early in the morning, the recruits in the barracks were shouting in unison in front of the cafeteria, "Song of Encouraging Soldiers" slightly adapted by him, preparing to have breakfast.

The people's army is out of line for this era, and Frederick felt that it would be enough for his army to "freeze to death without demolishing houses, starve to death without looting" like Yue's army.

To do this, first of all people have to be fed, get money, and have a sense of honor.

Frederick came to visit unexpectedly today, without saying hello in advance.

He saw from a distance that the recruits who had been recruited for two and a half months stood upright, lined up horizontally and vertically, and nodded with satisfaction.

Soldiers now have requirements for formation, and queue training is the foundation. Frederick just optimized the password with old Franz, some mercenaries and other professionals, and asked for enhanced training.

Ordinary troops train once every three days. The main reason is that they eat too little and cannot withstand training every day.

It's different here. After eating and drinking enough, I train three times a day, and I only have a full-day rest on Sundays at 10 and a half-day rest at 5 pm every ten days.

No wonder Frederick, who let the God of Light here dawdle, it took nine days to create the world, and he rested on the tenth day.

If He had been more diligent, everyone would have been able to rest for a few more days.

When the recruits lined up and entered the cafeteria, Frederick said to the old Franz next to him, "Come on, go in and see what's for dinner this morning."

Old Franz was originally going to retire this year to manage sports, but the army still needs veterans to sit in charge, so he continued to shine as a military officer while managing sports.

His first achievement after taking office was to defeat the conspiracy of Ogilvy and others, break the price of military equipment, and give Frederick the money to approve the new army refit plan.

Now responsible for the training of the new army are Franz Jr. and Richard Nall. The former is the leader of the younger generation of Wessen and will be the leader in the future; Frederick came to the barracks after that, and only showed his face to teach students at Wessenburg University every few days.

When the two approached the cafeteria, they asked about the smell of the food, and Frederick said, "Shall we guess what we had for breakfast today?"

Old Franz immediately replied, "Noodles and sausages and carrot soup this morning."

Frederick was surprised: "You can even smell carrots in the soup?!"

Old Franz pointed to the menu list for this week on the outer wall of the cafeteria.

The corners of Frederick's mouth twitched. He was just looking at the training uniforms, hats, and shoes and socks on the recruits, but he didn't notice this.

He didn't go into the cafeteria to disturb everyone's meal, but studied the content on the wall outside.

On the menu, today's lunch is stewed pork with steamed bread and sauerkraut, dinner is bread and pork blood sausage, and supper is a boiled egg per person.

Tomorrow's breakfast is marked with steamed bread from the previous day, sausage and onion soup, lunch is steamed bread and mushroom stewed chicken, evening is noodles with meat sauce and a boiled egg, supper is scallion pancakes.

There are various vegetable soups in the three meals a day, and each person has a certain amount of tea and Wesson hard candy every day.

For a ten-day period, there are no heavy meals every day. The combination of a few meat dishes and various seasonal vegetables is enough to combine dozens of meals.

Frederick was very satisfied, and then took two steps to the side, where the types and quantities of clothing, shoes and hats, bedding, daily necessities and other items received by each soldier were announced.

Next to it is the daily schedule, starting at 6:7 in the morning for exercise, housekeeping at 7:30, breakfast at 8:12, training from 14:18 to lunch at 18:30, training from 21:22 to dinner at [-]:[-], and culture at [-]:[-] Class study until [-] o'clock to eat supper and wash, and go to bed after [-] o'clock roll call.

This schedule was proposed by Frederick and then optimized by professionals. Everyone felt that the time should be used to prevent those young people from causing trouble as soon as they were free.

After reading it, Frederick brought old Franz to the back of the kitchen, where the cooks were preparing today's lunch and dinner.

The meat was delivered from a nearby slaughterhouse. There were slaughtered pigs hanging on the shelves. A cook was going to chop them up and put them in a pressure cooker with the sauerkraut that had already been chopped next to it. The pig bones and vegetables were cooked together in soup.

On the other side, the cook weighs the flour, water and flour and puts them into the dough mixer together, closes the lid and turns on the switch, the stirring stick driven by the magic reciprocating machine will mix them into dough, and then take out the dough Put it into a mold dipped in flour, press the strips, cut into the same size steamed bread embryos according to the scale on the table, and finally put them in a steamer for fermentation.

There are also many cooks boiling water, and there are dozens of wooden buckets like wine barrels in the open space outside. There are copper faucets at the bottom, and they are placed on shelves with wheels. There are numbers on them, and there is a bucket for every ten people.

Frederick looked at it for a while to make sure that there was no problem with the hygiene. The current tradition is to hire cooks to cook in military camps. On the battlefield, either soldiers cook by themselves or by civilians. There are no professional cooks.

The technical content of the cooking trailer is not low, and it will take some effort to get it out.

It was not long before little Franz arrived after receiving a tip-off from the cook.

He was wearing a navy blue double-breasted officer's uniform, a large-brimmed hat on his head, a pair of riding boots on his feet, and a saber hanging from his waist.

The chief's sudden visit made him a little nervous, and he hurried over and almost bumped into the noodle machine on the side of the road.

Old Franz gave his son a hard look, telling him to pay attention.

The corner of Frederick's mouth curled up, and he said with a smile: "They are all married, and they are still so reckless."

Little Franz smiled sheepishly.

Familiarity is familiarity, and the rules still have to be told.

At this time, there is no uniform standard for military salute. Generally, weapons are raised in salute.

Little Franz asked Frederick after saluting, "Why didn't you say something sooner when you came here?"

Frederick smiled and said, "Come and take a look when you think of it."

"Don't bother them anymore. We'll go in and have something to eat after they go to training. We haven't had breakfast yet."

As soon as little Franz heard that he was about to make arrangements, Frederick stopped him.

The people in the cafeteria left quickly, and Frederick went in and asked for a breakfast.

The breakfast of the officers is similar to that of the soldiers, but there are differences. There is an extra sausage and a piece of cheese.

In this era, no one talks to you about the equality of officers and soldiers. Officials are nobles, and soldiers are civilians. There is a gap between them.
