You call me a big treacherous evil?

However, in other directions in the Far East, the Teutonic governor who has not yet figured out the routine of the Dark Knights.

Hammered by the experienced Dark Knights, even on the Sainan Peninsula in the south of the Far East, the Dark Knights blew up a merchant ship full of cargo and blocked the port for nearly a month.

At the same time, the revanchism of the Dark Knights is also blooming everywhere in the global deployment.

Including the Far East, North and South America, and the Near East, the Dark Knights not only recruited locals to join their team, but also fought against the Teutons and Brandonians.

They even trained local religious and separatist forces, starting with how to make the Teutons and Brandonians a headache.

The only troublesome place is Kanglian.

Although such separatist forces and resistance organizations also exist in Kanglian.

But Kanglian's suppression is much higher than that of Dark Continent.

After all, the group of Teutonic veterans in the Dark Continent, at most, added steel plates to the steam truck, stuffed four heavy machine guns in one breath, and then swept until the scalp of the Dark Knights became numb.

But Kanglian is different.

Drill into the woods, right?Did the nearby people provide information?

The hostile elements are all going to build Kimberia!

Those who like to drill into the woods don't come out, the artillery battalion is here for live ammunition shooting training!

After this kind of strong suppression, the Dark Knights, which Franche managed to sneak in with great difficulty, were directly besieged and wiped out.

So I can't find Kanglian's troubles for the time being, and Kasha is now very troubled by the actions of the Dark Knights in the Dark Continent.

Although as the Teutonic people continued to behave indifferently, when the current Dark Knights attacked plantations and mines, there were already goblins who wanted to join them on their own initiative.

Even though some of them are spies of the Teutonic people, more of them are fighters who want to avenge the Teutonic people.

The kind that dares to rush into the crowd and blow itself up after sending out a bomb.

However, after fighting the Dark Knights for so long, Erich, who was sent to the Dark Continent by the Teutonic General Staff, also summed up a set of effective methods.

In the past, the governors invested in labor camp management and urban defense.

Even an active duty officer couldn't fault him.

But Erich knew that no matter how tight the defense was, there would be omissions.

So I can no longer put on a posture of being beaten at such a moment.

Erich selected a group of veterans with particularly excellent qualities from among the veterans who had served in the Storm Commando, and then equipped them with vehicles including submachine guns, heavy machine guns, and armed trucks.

Then he started fishing with these production facilities near the mines and plantations that the Dark Knights like to attack.

And it also uses the method of regular contact and dispatching immediately if there is no contact, and uses signal flares to report that it has been attacked in an emergency.

At the same time, there are uninterrupted patrols patrolling the wilderness, compressing the space for the activities of the Dark Knights as much as possible.

After all, the Dark Continent is a vast land, after the establishment of labor camps and the shrinking of the population back to the big cities.

Here the wilderness becomes even more open.

For the Dark Knights, while it was harder to get supplies, it was also safer and easier to evacuate.

But after Erich's operation, the scope of activities and time of action of the Dark Knights were greatly compressed.

Although the attacks of the Dark Knights can still cause some damage to the Dark Continent colonies of the Teutonic Empire, the period between attacks has increased a lot and the risks have also increased greatly.

Basically, most of the time, you can only use an electrocardiogram attack from a critically ill patient to prove that you have not given up.

Even they tried to ambush these patrol convoys while pretending to attack the stronghold.

In order to accomplish this goal, they even transported thousands of miles from Franche to the 37mm mech gun captured in the last war.

However, in this kind of battle, Erich personally saw how the armed truck took advantage of its speed and armor after being ambushed.

After reacting quickly, outflanking and finishing off that team of attackers.

Erich carefully examined the lines of defense constructed by the attackers and came to a conclusion.

That is, if a troop has a vehicle that is faster than a mecha, even if its firepower and cross-country capabilities are not as good as a mecha.

It's not as versatile as mechas, a mecha can wipe out a company's position, and they are more powerful than mechas when they launch an assault.

During this time in the Dark Continent, Erich wrote a book "On Offensive" based on his own experience of fighting wits and courage with the Dark Knights, and put forward the idea of ​​mechanizing infantry in combat.

And made a quite bold speculation, that is, if the Teutonic army could have one or two divisions in the early stage of the war, equipped with a large number of armored vehicles and trucks to serve as offensive spearheads to launch attacks.

Then it is very likely that in the first year of the war, the Teutonic army will be able to break through the defense line of the Brandenian Expeditionary Force and approach the city of iron towers, thus ending the war faster.

Let the war have no chance to enter the subsequent stage of trench warfare.

The book published by Erich did not attract the attention of the military in the Teutonic country.

After all, the Teutonic ace knights can defeat any enemy, and at the same time have excellent mobility that armored vehicles do not have.

That's why Erich's book didn't make those bigwigs in the headquarters notice him, a school officer who was idle in the Dark Continent and watched big crocodiles baring their teeth every day.

Instead, it attracted the attention of a female reader.

This female reader also has a little influence in the Teutonic army, so one day she was discussing with a company commander named Erwin what vehicle should be used to have better passability.

There was a telegram from High Command.

The content of the telegram is very simple.

Immediately throw away all the work in hand, and return to Germania, the empress wants to see you.

Although he was born in an aristocratic family, he has the right to add Feng's honorific title to his name.

But in terms of status, Erich is still a little bit worse than the queen.

So Erich immediately packed the simplest luggage, and then jumped on the earliest Clippers to the mainland and rushed back to the mainland.

As soon as he disembarked at the port, before he had time to rest, Erich bumped into a colonel of gendarmerie and his entourage.

"Mr. Erich?"

After getting Erich's affirmative answer, several gendarmes almost carried Erich and put him on a Mercedes with the royal logo.

Then a group of people rushed into the palace with a kick like a cavalry charge, and Erich, who was still dizzy, was taken into a small room.

The colonel, who was also dizzy from being shaken, pointed to the bathtub in the room and the brand new colonel's uniform hanging next to him and said to him.

"You have 10 minutes to take a shower before Her Majesty wants to see you."

Erich looked at the colonel's uniform hanging on the hanger, and said something in a daze.

"Did you take the wrong clothes? I'm not a colonel."

Colonel Gendarmerie patted Erich on the shoulder, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty has promoted you to be a colonel, and your promotion ceremony will be waitlisted later. Go take a shower now, and don't make Your Majesty wait for you."

So he took a shower as fast as he could in his life, and changed into a brand new colonel's uniform.

Erich, whose hair was still a little wet, met the current Empress Victoria of the Teutonic Empire in a garden under the leadership of the military police colonel.

It's just that today's queen didn't wear the coronation dress, but a cavalry uniform.

She put the black cylinder hat with the skull emblem on the white round table beside her.

Her long black hair was coiled behind her head, and a pair of pointed ears showed her one-eighth elven blood from the royal family of the Brandenian Empire.

Holding a cavalry saber in its sheath in both hands, he was looking towards the east.

"Your Majesty, this is Colonel Erich."

While reporting loudly to Victoria, the Colonel of the Gendarmerie stood at attention and saluted Victoria.

Erich also saluted Victoria at the same time.

"Don't be so restrained, Colonel Erich, please."

Victoria turned around, and after returning a salute to the military police colonel and Erich, she first asked Erich to sit down on the chair beside the white table in the garden.

Then he nodded to the Colonel of the Gendarmerie.

"Modwin, your mission is complete, you can go to rest first."

After another salute from the Colonel of the Gendarmerie, Victoria sat down in another chair opposite Erich.

"Colonel, you have worked hard all the way from the Dark Continent to Germania. What do you want to drink? Black tea? Coffee? Or beer?"

"It's not hard work, coffee is enough, Your Majesty."

Erich sat upright and sat opposite Victoria in the most serious posture.

Victoria first picked up a silver rattle from the table and rang it, then said to the maid who came over, "Have a pot of coffee."

Then he turned his head and looked at Erich who had a serious face as if he was interviewing a middle school student.

"Colonel, I order you to relax now, otherwise our conversation can only be conducted in this way."

Seeing that the Queen seemed a little unhappy, Erich immediately relaxed the tense muscles all over his body, and changed to a relatively comfortable sitting position on the chair.

After seeing that Erich was finally not stretched like a spring, Victory picked up the "On Offensive" that was on the table.

"Erich, I'm very interested in the idea of ​​mechanization and fast attack proposed in your book, can you tell me about it?"

Facing the Queen's inquiry, Erich immediately began to talk about the problems he encountered in the Dark Continent and how he used armed trucks to solve these problems.

And described in detail the situation when the army was ambushed.

Excited, Erich even used the sugar cubes that the maid brought along with the coffee to put a picture of the battlefield situation on the table.

Explain to the Empress why there were three times as many ambushers as there were convoys, and the convoy was able to in turn annihilate these attackers, who were definitely elite even by Teutonic standards.

After listening carefully to how Erich came into being in the Dark Continent, the Queen had the idea of ​​establishing a high-speed mobility regiment.

He asked Erich a question very seriously.

"If we form such an army as you expected, how sure are you that you can defeat Kanglian under the threat of Kanglian's airship and plant the Iron Cross flag in the Kremlin?"

097 Great changes in North America

When Erich came out of the palace, Erich felt like he was in a dream.

A day ago, he was a major, commanding a group of Freedom Legion, which was basically a militia, in the Dark Continent where the poor could only see the teeth of big crocodiles.

Now he is a colonel and director of armor, responsible for forming a Guards armored regiment as a model army.

For this army, the queen gave him almost unlimited rights and funds.

This means that he can draw the officers he wants from any army to serve as his deputy and subordinate, and at the same time, he can also use the resources of the empire at will.

Design and manufacture the equipment he wants, instead of using those old steam trucks to add metal plates to make some moving metal boxes.

The Queen's only request to him is that he must come up with a troop that can pierce through all lines of defense within two years of his plan.

Otherwise, as a waste of imperial resources.

Erich would be retired with dishonor with the rank of lieutenant.

Two years may sound like a short period of time, but it is actually quite enough.

Because the Teutonic Empire is a serious militaristic country with an army.

Since this country was still called Brandenburg, strict military professionalization and reserve army construction began.

The compulsory military system and almost endless military exercises constituted an important cornerstone of the army construction of the Second Teutonic Empire.

According to regulations, 60% of young people who have reached the age of 20 will be conscripted into the army, and they will be discharged after two years of rigorous training in technical arms such as cavalry and artillery, which will be extended to three years.

However, they must participate in reserve force training and military exercises every year until the age of 27.

After that, they will serve as reservists until they are 39 years old, during which time they still have to maintain this certain training.

Before the age of 45, they are called the Reserve National Army.

This is why, as a country in a strategic situation facing east and west, Teuton was able to persist for several years under the attacks of the Allied forces that were several times its own, and won the war.

After the victory of the war, the empress and the general staff decided to intensify the mobilization method that allowed Teutonic victory.

From the original recruitment of 60.00% of young people who have reached the age of 20 to join the army, all eligible people except the disabled must enter the army for two to three years.

Now the national power of the empire can support this level of high-intensity, high-strength combat readiness.

But the failure of the Battle of the Bulge was still in the minds of the generals of the High Command at midnight.
