"Oh my God... I'm so unlucky to have ended up in the hands of these Chinese, they're just a bunch of perverts......"

"Shh......h Be quiet, are you crazy? These Chinese can understand German, do you want to be punished too?"

"Shut up, you two shut up, the squad leader called the cannon battle is watching you......"

Three young soldiers from the city of Hamburg had just gotten together and complained a little when they were spotted by the Chinese squad leader Tian Cannon not far away.

"Steven, Daniel, Grant...... It's the three of you again, everyone else is training civil engineering operations with peace of mind, just the three of you talk a lot, what I hate the most is that the army is ganged up, and now immediately jump out of the trench and go to the river for a hundred push-ups...... Immediately... Right now..."

Tian Cannon is an ordinary soldier in Xiao Letian's officer corps, and he also mixed a squad leader in this reorganization, and now is the time when his heart is at his highest.

The three Stevens did not dare to slack off, jumped out of the trench, and ran to the edge of the river beach to be punished.

"God, we are soldiers, we have received the strictest army discipline in all of Europe, and although we have never been on the battlefield to kill anyone, we are not rookies...... Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven......"

"That's right, more than marksmanship, more than fighting, more than explosives bandaging skills...... When did the three of us not excel in all the items on the Army Drill Code, and how did we all become ground rats in the hands of these Chinese...... Forty-one, forty-two......"

Steven, Daniel...... You two don't say a word, look at the artillery squad leader, he is not idle, he is demonstrating ...... by himself."

The three of them looked up and saw that Tian was holding a sapper shovel at this time, teaching the soldiers in the class.

"You group of European young masters, at first glance, are not the material for doing crop work, the big fat butt is so high, waiting for the enemy's guns to hit?" The joke of the cannon squad leader made all the soldiers present laugh, and even the three Stevens who were punished couldn't help laughing, and their hatred of the squad leader at that moment was also reduced by three points.

"I am optimistic, the first element of civil engineering is to protect yourself, and the second is to be fast...... I'll show you again, if you still can't learn, I'll send you back to the boot camp and give you a big bad review in your files......"

The soldiers around me were afraid to speak, Prussia was at this time the era of all soldiers, all healthy men had to join the army, they had to undergo military training, if there was a bad military evaluation in the file, it would be a catastrophic blow to every Prussian man.

With such a black cauldron on their backs, they will not be respected by people for the rest of their lives, and all promotion opportunities have been denied to them, which is more cruel than sentencing them to death.

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and stared at the squad leader to demonstrate in person without blinking, even Steven forgot to do push-ups and stared at Tian squad leader for demonstration.

Don't look at them, they are a little resistant to civil engineering training, but I have to admit that the Chinese squad leader's sapper shovel is too skillful.

Large chunks of dirt were piled up into cover, and the sapper's shovel picked it up like a hot wheel, and the thick and hard soil was as easy as cutting soft cheese, and even the rocks hidden in the soil could be easily avoided.

After a while, a trench nearly a meter long with a height of one person appeared in front of everyone, and every cut of the trench was horizontal and vertical, as if some kind of large engineering equipment had been cut.

"See? This is the passing standard for civil engineering, and I don't have the speed of wartime yet, otherwise I can speed up by a third......

"Lao Tzu, I have been a farmer since I was a child, if it weren't for the war in my mother country and the defeat of our whole village and the killing of all our relatives, I would not have embarked on the road of eating and killing heads...... Well, you have to remember that the foreign guns in your hands are the best Mauser in the world today, you don't have to stand stupidly on the ground to load bullets, you can hide behind the bunker and load the gun......"

In his explanation, these Prussian new troops finally knew the importance of civil engineering, and in the future war, skirmishers and trench battles will become the mainstream, and the scene of queuing and shooting in the era of smoothbore guns will be gone.

However, it always takes a process for human beings to adapt to new things, and it takes time for old ideas to abdicate, and this time difference between speed and slowness is the so-called opportunity that countless military masters have to seize.

"I don't know if you can understand it, to be honest, I don't know anything about it, but there is no doubt about one thing, that is, we must unconditionally believe in my prime minister...... When adults say what the future will look like, I'm sure there is no doubt what the future will look like. ”

"Your Excellency has said that future naval battles will become pure ironclad battles, and I am sure of them. My lord also said that submarine warfare will become the mainstream in the future, and I am sure of it. I even believe that the adults say that there will be an air force in the future...... Uh, that is, people fly in the sky and shoot each other to fight......"

"You stinky boy don't laugh... Anyway, I believe it, because it was a miracle that my family took us all the way, and I never missed the judgment of the road ahead...... The lord also said that you Prussia will win this Prussian war, do you have to laugh at this judgment?"

"So, when adults say that civil engineering is important, it is very important, we are all big soldiers, obedience is our duty, and the responsibility for deciding the future direction is not on us, you must remember it......"

Speaking of this, Tian Cannon's battle shouted at the three punished people who were lying on the ground on the river and listened to the stupidity, "Steven, Daniel, Grant...... Come on, I understand, I can't put you three rookies together, damn, they all say that you Prussians are strict, why did you three live treasures come out......"

Jiang Lie...... Zhao Yidao...... Come here, and I'll exchange two thorns with you......"

Jiang Lie and Zhao Yidao are the most basic squad leaders like Tian Pao, and the three of them broke up the three of them who had been playing since they were children, not only that, but the three squad leaders also added a small stove to the three of them, and in the later training, these three people completely became dirty ground mice.

The same scene played out in different companies, and countless bitter Prussian soldiers secretly complained to Paul's intelligence officer and the translator Jonas. But every time they complained, they were severely punished, and the amount of training rolled up.

Xiao Lotian didn't care about their complaints, and in the daily routine meeting, Xiao Lotian explained his truth over and over again.

"War is imminent, and now that the Prussian army has begun to assemble on the southern border, and the states close to Austria are ready for war, if I am not mistaken, it will not take more than ten days for the war to break out......"

"Prime Minister Bismarck has given me a great problem, and I can even guess that the chief of the General Staff of the old Moltke and Prince Karl agreed that the six hundred Prussian troops were incorporated into my camp and that it was a conspiracy...... Yes, they just decided that we didn't have time to integrate these soldiers, so we wasted all our precious time on training and running-in......"

"This is a conspiracy, this is a difficult conspiracy to crack, there are always a group of people who want to freeze us, there are always some people who don't want us to be strong, and the conspiracy is always difficult to crack......"

Xiao Lotian took a few deep breaths and calmed down, "But they are wrong, we Chinese soldiers, all the way we have relied on miracles to launch one miracle after another, I will give you three more days, you only have three days to run in these soldiers, three days later, the special train arranged by the Prime Minister for us will go to the south, whether you can participate in the war depends on your table......

"I've checked the training results of these good guys, the Prime Minister didn't lie to us, although these are all recruits, everyone's training results are top-notch, shooting training, platoon training, use of explosives, hand-to-hand combat and bayonet fighting...... The variety of achievements is not inferior to ours. ”

"Now they are different from us, it may only be the civil work, I firmly believe that our training is not in vain, I believe that in the upcoming war, there will be a place for us, now everyone stop your complaints, let me go to the grassroots level to personally lead them......"

"Including Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, and Luo Huo, all the officers will sink for me, take the brothers to dig a pit, and get acquainted with every soldier in training, they will be your brothers in life and death on the battlefield in the future......"

Xiao Letian's order was the irreversible decree of the officer corps, and from that moment on, all the officers went down to the grassroots level and began more brutal training with this group of Hamburg new troops.

The individual pits were dug and filled in, and then a group of people stepped on the solid and dug them again, the trenches were repaired and then filled, and the headquarters of the defensive artillery were built and demolished.

The blood blisters on their hands had already been connected, and countless soldiers were so tired that they couldn't even straighten their waists, but no one dared to be lazy, and the rigor and patience peculiar to the Prussian nation played a role, and none of them were left behind.

Yes, even the battalion commander personally dug holes in each company, and even Xiao Letian, the prime minister of the East, took the time to sweat with everyone, including intelligence officer Paul and liaison officer Jonas were forced by Xiao Letian to grab the sapper shovel, what else is there to complain about, then let's do it.

The soldiers' minds are sometimes so simple, even if they are full of complaints, but as long as your officers do it with them, and do more than they do, then no one will rebel.

What's more, Xiao Lotian met the Prussian nation with the best military quality in the world at that time, which was really a great luck. A hundred years ago, in the first half of the 18th century, under the iron-fisted rule of Frederick Wilhelm I, the Prussian nation was finally militarized.

From that time on, Prussia had a universal military service, in which all healthy men were required to serve, and the term of service was a terrible 25 years, and he even turned six-sevenths of the wealth in the treasury into military expenses.

This horrific military service law has lasted for more than 100 years and has not been abolished until now, so you can imagine how terrifying a nation with 25 years of military training for all of its people must be.

The rigorous character in the blood of the Germans in later generations came from this, and without such strong endurance, they probably wouldn't have been able to survive Xiao Letian's hellish training at all.

Xiao Lotian stood on the high ground by the river, looked at the training ground with bright torches in the moonlight, and couldn't help but say, "It's good, it really deserves to be a nation that can provoke two world wars, I am completely convinced...... Good boys, tomorrow is the time for us to go to the battlefield, your sweat will not be in vain, and the battlefield will prove a qiē..."
