I Will Be The Crowned King

When the Saints' 100-year calendar crossed the midpoint and began to come to an end, the curtain of the second half of the Hantu War also slowly opened.

In early August, with the official coronation of Claude I at Iron Bell Castle, he accepted the allegiance of all the subjects of the vast land, and announced the alliance with the Kingdom of Clovis and the war against the empire. united by the flames of war under one banner.

And when thousands of lords and commoners of Hantu bowed their heads to the new king and swore their allegiance, they had not yet realized how many earth-shaking changes this new "Kingdom of Hutu" would bring. How terrifying the Lord Lord I" is about to have, far surpassing the strength of any previous ruler of the Dark Ages.

Relying on the mobilization of the Mist War, the former Grand Duchy of Thun, now the King of Thun, mobilized a total of 65,000 legions, and after the integration of Carindia, the Grand Duchy of Aiden also mobilized 38,000 Thousand Corps.

In addition to the Grand Duchy of Mist, which had recovered from the civil war, the Grand Duke's own trusted troops plus the surrendered captive troops amounted to about 25,000 legions... a total of 128,000 legions, known as "300,000 troops".

Of course, these 300,000 are "paper figures" in the true sense--after removing the 172,000 "yin soldiers", among the remaining 128,000, the baggage troops accounted for a quarter, The troops controlling forts, fortresses, strongholds and maintaining law and order accounted for half.

Therefore, there are only 42,000 troops that can actually be engaged in mobile operations anytime, anywhere... With the storm division of more than 5,000 people, it is less than 50,000, a full army.

Even so, it was almost driving me crazy.

The flags, passwords, and equipment, let alone unified, could not even be sorted out; a company probably had more than a dozen types of weapons, ranging from flare guns to the Leiden rifles exported by Clovis, and the types were comparable to the weapons history exhibition.

The organization is even more messy. Almost every "infantry company" is so large in size, close to an infantry regiment. The regular army is more like a wandering fishing and hunting tribe, or a "strong man" who was temporarily summoned to make up the numbers and captured by force.

This phenomenon is actually not uncommon in the Clovis army. Even the regular army is full of homeless, criminals, bankrupt farmers and unemployed soldiers. These "scumbags" are the best candidates for the army in the eyes of the army. .

But even doing the same thing, Hantu is extremely inefficient - recruiting soldiers often turns into sweeping villages, and looted villagers become "recruits".

As for the combat effectiveness of the soldiers recruited in this way, it is basically a well-known secret; moreover, the army of this composition still occupies a relatively high proportion in the "300,000 army".

Even these are not the most desperate... Years of peace have made Hantu's infrastructure very backward, let alone the so-called logistics and logistics system, and even the most basic self-sufficiency is extremely poor.

If an army is formed somewhere in the Kingdom of Clovis, the army will place an order directly to the military factory closest to the barracks area; the recruits will be assembled by officers and marched on foot along the road to the barracks.

This unit will receive logistical supplies for the seven-day march at the starting point, and will be resupplied at military warehouses along the road; their weapons will depart from the munitions factory, be dispatched by the railway committee to the nearest station, and then transported to the nearest station by a nearby coach. Barracks... Finally, recruits are sent to the barracks at least one day in advance to ensure that the army can immediately have combat effectiveness.

And all of the above do not exist in Hantu.

The backward infrastructure makes it a mystery for any army to reach its destination. There is basically no warehouse storage, and all supplies must be collected directly from towns and villages; weapons and ammunition are even more difficult to be self-sufficient. High-priced imports.

Therefore, from the first hour of its establishment, it was unanimously approved by all the lords of Hantu, and the "Highest General Staff of Hantu", which claimed to rule the entire army, was full of confusion and wrangling.

Some troops are well-equipped, but find that they do not have their own designation on the list; some troops have just been dispatched to carry out the order, and the supplies are cut off on the day of departure, and they almost collapse; Twelve pound bombs...

But even if there are 10,000 problems, compared with the fragmented Seven Cities Alliance in the past, the newly released "300,000 Hantu Army" is still a huge improvement, especially the control over the entire Hantu is unprecedented. the height of.

War is a test of a country's potential, and the army is the ultimate manifestation of strength. Whoever can form this army can hold the entire country in his hands.

Therefore, although Hantu is not sensitive to war because of the peace all year round, when Anson said that he would establish a "highest staff", everyone guessed what he wanted to do.

But to everyone's surprise, when Claude I, Aiden, and Mister, the two great princes, "nominated" Ansen Bach to be the "Chief of the General Staff", he... refused.

Not only did he refuse, Anson also tried his best to recommend Leon Francois as chief of staff, and Renaud Emmanuel, son of Archduke Aiden, as deputy chief of staff, including the three sons of Archduke Mist, who were also in the top staff. hold important positions.

As for the Storm Division, Anson himself refused to hold an important position in the General Staff, and only proposed to let his secretary, Alan Dawn, serve as the logistics director, and at the same time let the representative of the August Arms Factory, a worker from the Rune family. Mr. Erich served as his deputy and was in charge of the logistics of the entire Legion.

This proposal was passed calmly, without any surprises; after all, Han Tu has declared war on the empire, and no one can stably provide arms to support national wars except for the Kingdom of Clovis.

Such a generous concession made the lords of the vast land both surprised and happy—the happy thing was that they didn't have to listen to a Clovis commander, and the surprise was that some rumors about "the Clovis people want to run" seem to have been found again. evidence.

On the other hand, Little Leon, who was highly recommended by Anson, was caught in an unparalleled surprise and panic; in his opinion, there was no second candidate for this position except Anson, and even if there was, it should not be himself.

However, this decision was very popular with the lords of the lands... To have the "Prince" as the supreme commander of the corps of the lands is a strong signal to the outside world in their view - this marks the new "Kingdom of the lands" "It is not a simple military alliance, but a country that establishes a stable ruling group through blood inheritance.

Therefore, although Little Leon himself repeatedly shied away with fear and sincerity, saying, "I'm really not humble, I'd better ask someone else to be wise", but he was still surrounded by a group of nobles of the vast land and took the position of "Chief of the General Staff".

And Ansen Bach also accepted the position of "military adviser" to the praise and applause of the crowd - no title, only responsible for "give military advice" to the top staff.

…………

"After all, some things can't be done too much."

In the map room, Anson with an easy-going smile opened his mouth to Carl Bain, who came to meet him.

Although the "Supreme Staff Department" is still in the newly established stage, and the functions and powers of various departments are still in confusion and wrangling, but with the just coronation of Claude I, most of the nobility of the vast land and the army are gathered in Opportunities near Iron Bell Fort have begun to show its power.

According to the order of the chief of staff Leon François - or the agreement reached by Anson and Claude I - stationed in the Count of Arkad and immediately set off northward, through Eagle Point City to advance to the Elven Kingdom of Iser, Aid the main force of the Southern Corps.

In order to ensure that the Count of Arcade understands the seriousness of the situation, little Leon specially appointed Henares as the herald... Well, by the way, by the way, he will take a little revenge for the fact that he had driven back his own messenger.

The Storm Division's side immediately advanced westward, aiming at the next batch of reinforcements that the Empire was about to land in, and cooperated with the army besieging the port of Carindia to help.

Because it is not clear which port the Imperial fleet will land in, the Storm Division must start immediately, without the slightest delay, so that they have a chance to gain a firm foothold and cooperate with the port of Carindia and the enemy forces besieging the fortress of Aiden... Therefore, this It was also the last meeting between the two before they left.

"Let me be a dignified colonel of Clovis Kingdom, deputy commander of the Southern Legion, to serve as the chief of staff of Hantu Kingdom; is this okay? This is not good." Anson smiled:

"For a position with such a heavy responsibility, it should still be more suitable for a noble knight of the vast earth to take the position - such as Leon, I always feel that he has great potential in this regard and should take responsibility at such an important moment. Come."

"You are afraid of being too showy and being targeted by the imperial people."

Carl Bain snorted coldly and unceremoniously exposed Anson's dark thoughts.

Once he becomes the chief of the general staff of the Supreme Staff, it means that he is completely bound to the rise and fall of the Hantu Kingdom; what he gets is not only supreme power, but also a responsibility that is so heavy that people can't breathe.

Obviously, Anson doesn't intend to take any responsibility for Han soil. He just wants to get the power to remotely command the entire Han soil army, and he doesn't want to become a target of the enemy... So he tried his best to elect Little Leon to be the chief of staff.

In Carl's view, this candidate has at least three advantages:

First, no one dares to question, because Little Leon is the crown prince of the Hutu Kingdom, and he serves as the chief of staff, which is equivalent to an extension of the authority of Claude I to some extent, and opposing him is equal to opposing the king.

Second, the "Supreme Staff Department" that was created in the first place can only establish sufficient authority by relying on the power of the family behind him and Leno and others - after all, no matter how good the system is, it must be implemented by people, otherwise it is just a Being able to argue with each other is just an empty shell with a false name.

Last but not least, little Leon is, to a certain extent, close to obeying Anson's orders; with him serving as chief of staff, Anson will be able to respond to Anson's orders without taking any responsibility. The entire Hantu army is commanding like an arm.

Coupled with the junior secretary and the representatives of the Rune family, the arms dealer Erich joined hands to take charge of the logistics department, strangling the lifeline of the "Hantu army of 300,000".

Usually, this logistics department can maintain a fair attitude, provide and allocate supplies to all troops fairly, but if it really comes to a critical moment... No matter whether other troops can get supplies or not, the logistics of the Storm Division will definitely be sufficient.

Relying on such an arrangement, "Chief of the General Staff" is already an honorary title for Anson Bach, with or without a big difference; throw it to Leon Jr., and he doesn't even have to take on the minimum responsibility. .

"I think your heart is so dark, I really don't think about it that much." Anson blinked, his face full of simplicity and innocence:

"As long as Hantu can be united, everyone will be the same... I really think so, really."

"Yes, it's the same for everyone." Carl rolled his eyes: "Compared to you, I think I'm still too pure."

"Oh... no no."

An Sen waved his hands again and again, smiling all over his face: "You are too modest."

"You think I compliment you!" Carl sighed helplessly:

"And then again, you have seen the ghostly appearance of the Hantu Legion today - are you really sure that they will win the empire with them?"

"It's still the same as before, I never count on anyone."

Anson shrugged indifferently: "It would be great if they could have a fight, it doesn't matter if they don't... After all, there are '300,000 troops', just use it to scare the empire~www.readwn.com~ makes them dare not act rashly It should be enough."

"If we really want to defeat the empire, we still have to figure out a way by ourselves... Of course, this time the situation is special. Whether everything can go smoothly depends on the cooperation of the opposing commander to some extent."

"Cooperation?" Carl frowned:

"Expect him to be stupid enough?"

"No." Anson raised his right index finger and shook it:

"We'll have to count on him being smart enough."

"……I do not understand."

"The reason is very simple. If the opposite is Louis... I mean, if the opposite is an idiot, he will half-glance and execute the empire's original battle plan in an orderly manner." Anson explained:

"The good thing about the idiot is that his next steps are in our expectations; but the trouble is that the invasion of the Hantud Empire will be a group of hard bones that are extremely well-prepared and difficult to deal with... If we want to wipe them out, we The price to pay is too great.”

"Like the battle at Eagle Point City, if Louis Bernard did not misjudge the form and regarded the Thun Legion as a friendly force, it would be almost impossible for us to annihilate them, and it would be the best outcome to lose both."

"Well." Carl nodded slightly in agreement:

"If it wasn't Louis... I mean, a smart guy?"

"Then he will understand that according to the original plan, the empire will not have a second way to accomplish its strategic goals other than conquering the vast land; therefore, adjustments, or micro-manipulations, must be made."

"This kind of micro-manipulation will definitely disrupt the original deployment. From the logistics to the previous maneuvers, there will be a lot of problems, there will be a short period of confusion, and then..."

The corners of Anson's mouth began to rise at a forty-five-degree angle to the upper left: "Our chance is here."
