You call me a big treacherous evil?

Even noble officers lost hope in the war.

Franche's mutiny this time was because the morale of the troops collapsed directly because of the large number of casualties caused by that reckless attack.

Soldiers no longer believed the officers who sent them to die on the battlefield, and even some officers who came to persuade them to obey orders were stabbed to death in the trenches by eight daggers thrown from 500 meters away by Teutonic precision shooters.

Expecting to find an officer to start a revolution at this time is somewhat Pavlov's ecstasy.

And unlike Lucia, as the main battlefield of this war, in addition to his own troops, Franche also stationed many troops from Brandenia and other colonies.

Therefore, when Franche's commis were still in frequent contact with officers, the quick-responsive Franche government immediately replaced the commander-in-chief of the army.

The army was taken over by the well-received General Henry, who first appeased the mutinous troops by stopping the offensive immediately after taking office.

At the same time, by increasing troop rations and providing soldiers with extra rations such as red wine and sausages to boost morale.

And by executing the mutinous leaders, or even randomly selecting unlucky ones from the troops and shooting them when no specific leaders can be found, this method of carrying carrots and sticks in one hand began to stabilize the troops.

Of course, more importantly, most of the soldiers joined the mutiny just to protest that the officers forced them to die.

They don't actually refuse to defend their country in the trenches, as they have done for the past few years.

So by the time the Franche Commi found out that their way was not quite right, the large-scale mutiny had basically subsided.

The Commies of Franche lost an excellent opportunity to start a revolution, but from some perspectives this is not a bad thing.

Because at the same time that the Franche army mutinied, the Brandenians who were squatting in the same trench as the Franche this winter were not idle.

After all, Brandenia has always been not a human being in terms of not being a human being.

Out of Brandenia's global strategy, the Teutons on the Old Continent wanted to fight, but dismembering the Bryansk Empire in the East was also in the empire's interests.

Therefore, many local troops were not sent to Franche to fight the Teutons, but were sent to the land in the east to watch the big camels bark their teeth.

The manpower of the empire is limited, but the desires of the gentlemen are unlimited.

Therefore, if more troops are sent to Bryansk, fewer troops will be sent to fight in Franche.

Coupled with the mutiny, Franche had to redefine the defense zone with Brandenia due to the unstable morale of the army.

The increase in the area of ​​the defense zone exacerbated Brandonia's inability to effectively replenish troops.

So the gentlemen of the Ministry of War in Lund City, far away from the battlefield, slapped their heads and made a decision that was the same as Emperor Lucia's call for the escort of the [-]th Guards Infantry Company not long ago.

The gentlemen of Lund City feel that the troops have been attrition after fighting for so long, so you should just reorganize them.

Then the troops were combined in a way that one plus one equals two. This reorganization method directly reduced the original division and brigade organization by a quarter.

The result of this brutal merger is that some ancient and glorious numbers in the army's combat order are directly cancelled.

After the operation of the masters of the Ministry of War, the morale of the frontline soldiers can't be said to be rising, it can only be said to be falling.

In the same winter, the morale of the two troops squatting in the same trench fell like a free fall due to the mysterious operation of the big man above. People have to sigh that this is the excellent matching mechanism of the Old Continent.

Of course, as part of the excellent matching mechanism in the Old Continent, the Teutons who were still studying the use of mecha clusters this winter received news of the large-scale mutiny in Franche.

But it didn't launch an attack.

Although part of the reason is that they don't believe that the army that claims to be the number one in the Old Continent will actually have such a large-scale mutiny.

Even the news that at the time of the mutiny there were only two divisions with which Franz was able to hold back the Teutonic occupation of the Tower City, was dismissed by the Teutons as nonsense.

Franche mutiny?Just kidding, our food is so scarce that we can eat cabbage. The army is very stable. Those Franche people who can still eat canned meat will mutiny?

Another reason why the Teutons did not launch an attack was that they miscalculated how mutiny would weaken the combat capabilities of the troops.

After all, not long ago, they fought against the Kanglian troops who had also mutinied.

Regardless of winning or losing, the process is quite unforgettable anyway.

In addition, in the eyes of the Teutons, the combat effectiveness of the Lucians is lower than that of the Brandenians, and the combat effectiveness of the Brandenians is lower than that of the Franche.

So rounding it up, it is better to think about tactics and train the troops first, and it is safer to launch an attack after the winter has passed and the troops have adapted to the new tactics.

Anyway, there is only the last week of winter left.

Those American troops don't know where they are still floating, and they can wait until they are fully prepared before launching this battle.

But this winter, outside of the excellent matching mechanism of the Old Continent.

Still a little surprise.

Because when Victor reviewed the first version of the design drawings, he found some small problems that he hadn't noticed all along.

Then it made Viktor almost dance in ecstasy, and went to Ilyich to ask for funding for a space race.

Because when reviewing the first version of the design drawings, Victor discovered that the design team of the second plan actually added a vertical stabilization system and an auxiliary aiming device to the tank now code-named T-1.

According to Victor's understanding, this small design should not appear on the T-1, the first generation tank.

The problem of tank shooting on the move can only be solved after the rapid development of electronic technology. Now the reliable way is to train the crew to be able to perform skilled short-stop burst shooting.

Then reality jumped up and gave Victor, who had made an empiricist error, a big mouth.

In order to allow the mecha to walk stably, engineers in this world not only created things like gyroscopes, but the related vertical stabilization technology has been used on mechas in various countries for a long time.

It's just that Victor, who is a big soldier and always subjectively thinks that the mecha is his stinky brother, hasn't carefully understood how much black technology is stuffed in the mecha.

Of course, if it's just a small technological advancement like a gyroscope, it's not enough to make Victor dance ecstatically.

As a walking machine, a rare crystal called a magic crystal is stuffed into the mecha.

This kind of crystal can react to the energy of the outside world, so in ancient times, this kind of crystal was used by magicians, prophets and sages to show some spells such as big fireball and palm thunder.

It wasn't until the famous modern philosopher, engineer, and artist Beast Kimede wrote a set of programs into the magic crystal, and used this program to drive the action of the mecha, that the correct usage of this crystal was unlocked.

After all, if it's just a wheeled tank, you only need to throttle and brake the steering wheel.

But multi-legged mechs basically can't move without a driver.

Seeing such a natural computer, Victor almost burst into tears.

How much would it save me to be able to dig a computer out of the ground!

Then Victor made up his mind to go to the university for further study after cleaning up General Anton and his King Qin army.

After all, my own knowledge system is a little bit incompatible with the technology tree of this world, so I have to go back and rebuild it.

However, as a member of the Politburo, Victor still has a little bit of privilege.

For example, when you can't spare time to go to university for advanced studies, you can invite professors from the Engineering Department of Kremlin University to take time to teach yourself the engineering technology of this world by correspondence.

Of course Victor will pay.

Although Ilyich stipulates that the wages of cadres cannot exceed the highest standard for workers.

But for Victor, who lives in the army, the only thing he needs to spend money on is remittances to the families of his old subordinates.

Facing Victor's request, the professors at Kremlinburg University did not refuse, and even said that as long as Victor can pass the exam in the future, they can also give Victor a degree from Kremlinburg University.

So before spring came, in addition to various documents, there was a bunch of engineering textbooks in the handbag that Victor had been carrying around.

With the arrival of spring.

Victor, who spent half the winter slapping tables in the Politburo, finally started slapping tables at the Flame Army Command.

Let the troops that have been in the cold trenches all winter start to move, and prepare to start the spring offensive when the follow-up troops arrive.

In this winter, Victor has not only cultivated a pair of ruthless iron hands.

The volume of the voice has also been further upgraded in the oral gymnastics of the Politburo.

Anyway, regarding his own image, Victor has already broken the jar.

Me, the barbarian too!

As long as you can get funding for the project, let alone slapping the table and roaring.

Even Victor has done the thing of shattering glass with his voice.

But just when Victor began to mobilize his troops to make it difficult for Anton to survive the summer, the Teutons were one step ahead of Victor this time.

Due to the failure of the last large-scale attack of the Franche, coupled with the reorganization of their troops by the Brandenians.

The Teutons were able to spend the winter relatively peacefully, and used this winter to sum up a new set of tactics they called the armored commando.

So on March 1918, 3.

Following the Teutonic General Staff sent a telegram codenamed [Emperor].

The full-scale attack has begun.

At the beginning of the offensive, the Teutons used a technique called the artillery waltz.

It does not require accuracy, but requires that as many shells as possible be poured into the positions of the Franche and Brandonians in the shortest possible time.

In less than an hour, the Teutons poured millions of shells on the front line, almost emptying the shell reserves accumulated by the Teutons throughout the winter.

On the front line, those soldiers who survived the devastating artillery fire came out of the anti-aircraft holes.

What appeared in front of them were the Teutonic mechas all over the mountains and plains, and the Teutonic commandos with automatic weapons rushing in front of the mechas.

With the assistance of the mech swarm, the Teutons successfully used the commando tactics they had conceived in 1915.

The short-term artillery attack by small-scale elite infantry destroyed the enemy's firepower points, observation posts, and command posts.Then attack quickly, rush into the enemy's trench, and then hit the enemy in the trench with a grenade, immediately break into the next trench, and then repeat the previous process to continue breaking through until the destination.

Although after the bombardment, both the Franche and Brandenia command sent additional troops to the front line, trying to resist the large-scale attack of the Teutonic people.

Especially in the river defense line that had been a sad place for the Teutonic people, the Brandenians urgently dispatched heavy troops, trying to hold on to this line of defense that they had strengthened for half a year.

But in the face of this cross-age tactic, neither the Franche nor the Brandonians were able to hold their ground.

On the first day of the battle alone, the Teutons successfully advanced 160 kilometers on the 16 kilometers of land that was almost completely trenched and built a large number of permanent fortifications.

And on the second day after the start of the battle, they broke through the defense of the river, washing away the shame they once sighed over the river.

At this time, the Franche people were screaming, because the loss of part of the defense line of the river meant that on the way to the city of the iron tower, the coalition forces had no natural dangers to support their defense.

They could only use the corpses of soldiers to stop the progress of the Teutonic people.

In the Teutonic General Staff, the generals, who did not expect the attack to be so smooth, are doing everything possible to deliver ammunition supplies to the front line.

Because the troops were rushing so fast, and these ten kilometers of land were full of trenches and bomb craters, the logistics soldiers were crying when they heard it, and the mules and horses were heartbroken when they saw it.

The high command must use all means to get supplies to the soldiers who are rushing through the storm, so that they can maintain the offensive.

Just as the Teutons were rushing forward, ships carrying the Southern Cross flag sailed into the port of Franche.

The steel of the New World has now officially entered the melting pot of the Old World.



060 Oh, the Power of My Armored Train!

Unlike the soldiers on the Old Continent who had fallen into war weariness.

These knights from the New World are preparing to save Franche with great enthusiasm.

Most of these knights were from manor owners, and their leisure life gave them more time to do what Gentlemen should do.

For example, learning the Franche language used by the high society in the old continent, studying history, manipulating mechs, etc...

So these manor owners remembered that it was with Franche's help that the New World became independent.

I even remember that when the terrifying tyrant was about to violate their freedom, only Franche sold them the mecha.

So when the Confederacy declared war on Teutonic, these knights of the New World shouted "Lafayette, here we come!", brought their attendants and servants, and drove their own mechs, preparing to use their hard work to repay Franche twice helped them defend the grace of liberty.

It is not the same as the professional army of the old continent.

Because the martial arts in the New World are generally not sufficient.

On the premise that they only need to beat the surrounding neighbors such as the centaur tribe or the country of cacti and eagles, the American knights are overflowing with martial arts, and only a team of knights with retinues and infantry with temporary signs can kill them. Neighbors pressed the hammer.

Especially after the Civil War, both the American Confederation in the north and the American Confederation in the south felt that centralized big government was a bad thing.

Therefore, the number of government troops owned by both the Federation and the Confederacy in America is pitifully small.

In contrast, there are a large number of militia organizations with abundant military virtues.

There are respectable gentlemen in the north who organize factory guards, and elegant gentry in the south who form militias.

The armed force of this bulk army has always been regarded by the professional officers of the Old Continent as a small army that can be defeated by firing three shots into the sky and launching a charge.

It's just that all of Franche's expectations are now pinned on these big-bodied troops.

The Virginia Legion, which had just arrived in Havila, was sent on a train and pulled down the city of iron towers before it could be repaired.
