We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Teresica's inconsistent words made Manfred a little confused, and he could only wait quietly for Teresica's next words.

And Teresica was also struggling at this time.

Ursus has not yet made any comment on the matter, so Kazdaele hastily sent a large force there, which is tantamount to directly engaging Victoria.

Rem Billiton is not worth the price.

Moreover, Victoria's weapons are really powerful, and there won't be much advantage in fighting Sarkaz directly.

In Teresica's mind, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses. It's not Kazdel's territory anyway. The main thing is not to have too many casualties, and to use Sakaz's life to fight for Carters' future.

He's crazy?

Teresica now needed a fighting force that was small enough to help the Carters resist the Victorians, at least within the city limits.

"Where's Hedley?"

"I am here, Your Majesty."

He was also called here because he had been fighting with Carters for many years at Rem Billiton.

"If I want to send combat forces to help Carters at this time, do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Majesty the King, please give me a few minutes..."

Hedley was in a bit of a dilemma. Carters didn't know how to fight, and now he was suddenly faced with Victoria's powerful combat troops. This kind of all-round crushing existence.If Kazdale directly enters Rem Billiton to join the war, can he really be saved?

"Your Majesty the King, I can't give you advice. But I can tell you what the situation is like with Carters' troops. None of them know what real military combat is, and no one knows how to manage tens of thousands of soldiers. Their soldiers also Without adequate training, when I fought with them, the only requirement for them was to rush out, and then when they were beaten back, run to both sides so as not to impact our troops."

After holding it in for a while, Hedley could only say this.

"It doesn't matter, what you said is not useless."

At this moment, Teresica was as if she had not done her homework but had to deal with the homework inspection, squeezing her brain hard. Rem Billiton's investment could save her, but she still had to save her.

"Manfred, what would you do if Victoria's ballistae fired at you?"

"I...I will avoid it, or follow it directly, as long as it is not a source stone bullet."

He didn’t understand what Teresica was thinking, but Manfred still said it clearly.

"Manfred, issue a voluntary recruitment order to the clansmen of the royal courts."

Teresica decided that since Carters didn't even have a qualified command system, she might as well rely on ancient brute force.

It's too scary to send a serious Wang Ting, so let's form a small Wang Ting.Currently, he does have the idea of ​​forming a special force with his pure Origin Stone skills as the main combat force, to deal with those strange mercenary groups in the desert.

'Before dealing with those mercenaries dancing on the tip of their swords, it would not be a bad idea to test the waters with Victoria's soldiers. '

For a time, the special races of Sarkaz, such as scavengers, banshees, and blood demons, all received special recruitment orders.When all races learned that they were looking for trouble with Victoria, they all showed strong willingness, especially the Blood Demon clan, which is famous for its bloodthirsty within Sarkaz. The whole clan enthusiastically signed up.

Within one day, a 200-member Rembito task force was formed, composed of outstanding members of the Origin Stone skills of the Blood Demon, Scavenger, Banshee and Sin Absolver races.

They do not need command, nor do they need the command and logistics of conventional combat forces. They only need to rely on themselves.

Chapter 210 Kazdale’s Second Military Reform

The establishment of the Rembiliton task force is simple, but before getting a response from Ursus, how to put them into battle without causing a negative impact on Kazdaele's politics, diplomacy, etc. is one thing. It's more troublesome.

Among this group of people, only one Blood Demon was a real soldier. The others came from all walks of life. The combat discipline of the entire team was almost negligible.

The patriarchs of the royal court felt that there was no problem with this matter, as long as the fighting power was sufficient, but Teresica disagreed.

To put it bluntly, these people are different from ordinary people in Terra. It is not groundless for all of Terra to call Sarkaz a demon.He is now organizing such a force to send to Rem Billiton in order to gain favor with the Carters!If these people accidentally mess it up, it will be a big loss.

To this end, Tresika specially talked to Sakaz veterans from the civil war period to find out what bad habits these people had, and then asked the heads of the major royal families one by one to find out if there was anything special about these races. Tradition.

After some sorting, Teresica came up with a few rules.

[-]. It is not allowed to collect corpses and body parts as symbols of trophies.

[-]. Food must be provided by logistics personnel.

[-]. Necessary assistance should be provided to friendly parties.

[-]. Enemies who have given up their will to fight and surrendered should be detained without compromising their personal safety.

While formulating rules for them, Teresica also discussed a combat plan with Manfred.

The task force went to Rem Billiton and couldn't push too hard for fear of provoking a violent reaction from Victoria.They Sakaz can run, but Carters can't.

Moreover, although these special races in Sakaz are stronger than ordinary people, not everyone is the leader of the royal family. The Origin Stone skills may be strong or weak, and their bodies are not made of steel and iron. It really makes the Victorians send them off at close range. The last shot of the crossbow will still hurt and bleed.

Therefore, the task force's combat goal is to assist Carters in fighting in the urban area and repel the Victorians.When fighting alone, you have to move in and out quickly, and it's not fun when the Victorians get stuck.

How long does it take for someone to produce a ballista?How many films are there with the same physical quality?Think about it.

When telling the members of the task force these doctrines and rules, Teresica was not sure how much they had heard, but in order to avoid making any mistakes, he could only give instructions.

"If you violate the rules, please rest assured that I will not impose any punishment. I will tell your respective clan leaders and let them handle it."

Although he said it very easily, Teresica could feel that the atmosphere at the scene had become much stiffer, which made him very satisfied.And just to be sure, he added an extra layer of insurance.

That is the administrator of the task force, who is the researcher of the Absolver, Salus.

She was originally in charge of scientific research tasks, but besides Shining, she was the only one around Teresica who seemed to be well-behaved and capable of controlling the task force.

Salus had no objections to the fact that his scientific research mission was suspended and he was turned to perform combat missions. Instead, he smiled with interest.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will take good care of these children."

The task force set off, but Teresica did not dare to relax and summoned Manfred at the Sakaz Palace.

"Victoria will eventually be the enemy we face, and we must build forces capable of taking on Victoria's legions."

He was ready to carry out the second military reform.

Teresica asked Manfred to get the military school files and the officer directory after the Letania War, and checked them carefully.

"Reactivate the establishment of combat experimenters and form the First Experimental Division. Order, Deputy Commander of the [-]th Infantry Division of Kazdare, Manteuffel, serve as the commander of the [-]st Experimental Division, and the commander of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Infantry Division, Walken, serve as the Experimental Division Commander of a division and a regiment.”

Manfred stood there and hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, along with the promotion of position, there is also the promotion of military rank. This has always been a matter of the Military Committee."

"Oh? Isn't this against the rules?"

Teresica asked curiously.

"No, of course you have this right, it's just a change in the process."

Manfred responded quickly: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to organize the new troops?"

"Refer to the Syracuse Battle Group and form a unit that uses all long-range weapons. After all, Victoria's soldiers only use ballistae. It's useless for us to use swords as our main weapons."

Teresica said: "The overall structure of the Experimenter remains unchanged, but the 13-man infantry squad originally only had 3 shooters. Now... all of them should be changed to shooters. The armor of the Experimenter soldiers has also been simplified, except for the helmet and torso. All other armors have been canceled and replaced with knee pads and elbow pads so that you can carry more arrows."

Manfred could actually accept the replacement of all soldier weapons with semi-automatic individual crossbows, because this had already been tested once in Syracuse, and the effect was actually pretty good.But reducing the soldiers' armor is a bit too risky.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have reduced their armor. It's okay if they are at a high place or with a bunker, but what should they do when they are fighting on the ground?"

"Then dig underground and dig a trench to stand in."

Looking at Manfred's dazed look, Teresica laughed, "The bunker at a high place can block people, but if we dig a deep trench down, can't we also block people? And the soil dug out It can also be stacked on the ground to create height.”

Manfred was really confused at this moment. He had never thought that people could hide underground!And this method doesn’t require a lot of effort to build walls!

"Victoria also has artillery. In the war with Letania, we used artillery to bombard the Letanians. Naturally, the Victorias would do the same to us. With deep enough trenches, we can let the soldiers retreat directly. Inside, and unless the Victoria shells hit the trench directly, they would explode on the ground."

Theresa made the most important point.

The wall stands alone on the ground. If it is impacted by one side, it will fall to the other side!And what can be done about the trenches on the ground?At the same time, it does not require complicated construction and maintenance, just give the soldiers an excavation tool!

The feasibility of the method is very high, but due to the rigor of a soldier, Manfred still said: "Your Majesty, can the method you mentioned be tested first? By the way, let the soldiers watch."

Chapter 211: We are fighting friendly forces!

After receiving the order to reorganize the Experimental Division [-] from Teresica, Manfred began the specific formation work.

He drew outstanding marksmen from all over the army. The junior non-commissioned officers were composed of people who had participated in the Syracuse battle. The senior officers were composed of officers from the [-]th Infantry Division and the Syracuse battle group. This way, there were sufficient long-range troops to operate. Experience also facilitated the management of Manteuffel, the original deputy commander of the Fifth Division, and the Fifth Division was the only unit in Kazdale that had ever fought against the Victorians.

I can’t say how much experience I have, but I have seen the scene.

The personnel transfer between the troops was very fast. Just as everyone was arriving one after another and getting together to get to know each other, the whistle for emergency assembly was blown.

Everyone was called out, and the soldiers followed their squad leaders to the training ground. They found that leaders at all levels of their platoon, company, battalion, regiment, and division were there, and there were bigger figures around them.

Theresica and Manfred.

After receiving Teresica's signal, Manteuffel ordered all officers from the squad leader and above to come out. Then under the curious eyes of the soldiers, their division commander took the lead and picked up a short-handled shovel from the side.

"dig!"

After Manteuffel gave the order and took action himself, the officers at all levels of the Experimental Division bent over and began to dig the soil desperately.The soldiers looked at them like this, their eyes changing from curiosity to confusion.

'Why are you digging here instead of training?Wouldn't it be better to practice strength running with weights? '

Without orders, the soldiers did not dare to move and could only watch.

Let the officers dig the trenches. This was a decision made by Teresica and Manfred after discussing it together.

Ordering soldiers to hide in trenches for defensive operations is a method of combat that has never been seen before in the continent of Terra. Even if it has practical effects, it must be allowed to be accepted by the soldiers and fully understood and used by the officers. challenging.

If the military officer takes the lead in demonstrating in person, both problems can be solved in one fell swoop.

The shovels were poured out with the dirt, while the officers were digging aside, while Teresica personally supervised them.After all, no one in Terra has done this before, so he can only watch and propose improvements.

"When digging a trench in the wild, first dig a shallow pit that you can lie down in, and then pile all the soil in front to make a bunker. Just enough to cover your chest, so you can deal with the enemy when you encounter it. Then dig down and dig out. A single-person pit where one can kneel is dug further until one can stand in the pit. After that, the single-person pit is used as a node and connected with each other to form a trench."

Teresica pointed to the trench dug between a company commander and a platoon commander and said: "Your digging is too straight. If the artillery shell falls directly into the trench, wouldn't the shock wave directly sweep across the entire trench? And the enemy If the archers and magicians jump in, one person can threaten the entire trench, so we can’t dig straight lines, we have to change them to curves.”

"Yes!"

The two of them responded and quickly began to revise.

"When encountering artillery fire, in addition to hiding directly in the trench, you can also dig a hole in the side wall of the trench, so that you can get better protection by hiding in it. And there is not necessarily only one trench. You can also dig a hole in the trench. Then dig a preliminary trench in the rear, and connect the two trenches with a longitudinal communication trench, so that soldiers can move backward safely without being exposed to the enemy, and it is also convenient for transporting the wounded and transporting supplies forward from the rear."

Teresica said, and a group of people were recording beside him.Not only did he come here by himself, he also called a large number of teachers from Kazdaele Military Academy and personnel from various military departments.The trench system has been tried and tested on Earth for a long time, and the effect will definitely not be bad.

Calling these people here not only prevents the disconnect between the upper and lower minds, but also allows them to think together and improve the design of the trench. After all, Terra is not the earth, and there may be something he has overlooked.

At this time, a teacher from the military school said: "Your Majesty, the weather is sunny now, but what if it rains? The soldiers will be soaked in the water."

"The cold water will cause soldiers to become hypothermic, and the humid environment will breed germs, which is very likely to cause large-scale epidemics."

A man on the side who looked like a military doctor also raised his concerns, "Especially for the feet, soaking in water may cause extremely serious skin problems."

"What we are looking at now is a temporary trench to respond to the enemy. If it is a long-term fixed defensive battlefield, the standards will naturally be different. An additional trench can be dug at the bottom of the trench, and then a baffle with leaks can be laid on it. , so that water can flow elsewhere along this ditch. However, the drainage capacity is indeed limited, and the feet..."

Teresica thought for a moment and looked at the people in the equipment department, "We need to improve the soldiers' military boots and provide them with waterproof foot bags. This can also alleviate the situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will complete this project as quickly as possible."

The people from the equipment department responded.In war, many problems cannot be cured or solved. It is enough to have some delaying effect.

It's just not very friendly to soldiers.

After working for several hours, a shooting trench, a preparation trench, a communication trench connecting the two, plus two anti-gun holes, a small model of a defensive position was finally completed.

100 meters away, the onlookers honestly didn't understand what their superiors were doing. They just watched them digging until now, and then inexplicably grabbed a bunch of tied animals and threw them in, and then they themselves He put a helmet on his head and lined up to go in.

【boom--】

【boom--】

The soldiers looked at each other. Where did the artillery fire?Is there artillery training today?

A low sound in the sky approached, and in the disbelief of the soldiers, the shells landed hard on the place where the soil had just been dug, and the dust they stirred up obscured all sight.

"what happened!"

"Was it an accidental shooting?"

"Contact the artillery quickly!"

The soldiers were in a mess, but there was nothing they could do. The sound firing position was at least 3 kilometers away, and it was too late to do anything.

Finally, after 24 rounds of shells, the sound of artillery stopped.When the soldiers ran over in a hurry, they were surprised to find that their superior was walking out with a smile.

"I thought we made some mistake and were punished by His Majesty. I didn't expect that these pits could actually hide cannonballs."

"I didn't expect that I didn't have any scratches from such a level of shelling!"

"The tumor beast cub next to me is fine at all!"

The officers excitedly discussed the novel experience they had just had, without any worries about being covered by artillery fire.Manteuffel shook the dust off his body, stood in front of Teresica and gave a military salute.
