During the tour of the representatives of the Royal Norman Army Academy to the teaching, training and living quarters, the federal military and school personnel were particularly enthusiastic. This kind of enthusiasm even made Weiss, who was in the perspective of a bystander, feel a little ridiculous.

What kind of spirit is this? A bold, big-hearted, fearless internationalist spirit?

If it was true that the Norman Empire had come to de-escalate the situation and improve relations, then this enthusiasm was a fitting reflection of the sincerity of the Ulster Free Confederation, but what if it wasn't? If the Normans were determined to defeat the Confederation and even rule the world, and came to investigate the armaments of the Confederation for this purpose, wouldn't the magnanimity of the Confederation be the right one?

Obviously, this is not just someone else's idea, and I believe that many people in the military leadership are worried about it, but this is only a subjective speculation after all. The battle of Monamolin can be traced back to the conflict caused by Dr. K's "defection", the Federation's "response" and the Norman Empire's "pursuit", which is also the reason why both sides have always kept it a secret; Unknown armed men have infiltrated and sabotaged several times, and the investigation by all parties has never reached a conclusive conclusion. Therefore, when the Norman Empire made a historic olive branch, the positive reaction of the top brass of the Confederation was in line with the normal logic of those in power under a democratic system......

In the warm afternoon sun, at the shooting training ground of the Baseton Military Academy, 60 third-year students lined up in a horizontal line, holding brand-new M3.2S bolt rifles in their hands. Hearing the instructor's command, they calmly pulled the trigger.

The neat row of guns was fired, attracting a burst of courtesy applause from the temporary viewing platform.

When he was young, the team leader instructor loudly reported the shooting results from the target area: "1500 feet static shooting, the first round results, 57 shots on target, 21 shots hit the bull's-eye area!" ”

An even more enthusiastic round of applause rang out from the viewing platform.

For this achievement, the first- and second-year trainees who fought outside the shooting training ground were relieved. You must know that their team target rate in this training subject is usually only 60-70%, and a target heart rate of 15% is very good, and such a performance must not be used to show shame in front of the Normans. Of course, the basic skills of the third-year seniors should be more solid, and the 60 outstanding ones selected from more than 200 people, plus the M3.2S rifle, which is made by Seiko and has a slightly better shooting accuracy than the M3.2G and M3.2K, can be regarded as "normal performance".

Hearing the sound of rifles firing from the shooting training ground, Weiss, who was in the wargame deduction room, turned his eyes from the sand table to the window. Representatives of the Royal Army College of the Norman Empire arranged a four-day itinerary to the Batton Military Academy, which included campus visits and training observations, exchanges of basic military skills, exchanges of military tactical capabilities, and comprehensive exchanges of indefinite projects and forms. The wargame team led by Mustegan was tasked with the task of military and tactical exchanges, which was arranged for the afternoon of the second day of the trip. That is, after the arrival of the Normans, they had one more day to make final preparations.

At this moment, the chubby Dio pushed the door in, only to see him clasp the door behind him, and raised the paper in his hand proudly: "Look! Guys, what everyone was looking forward to - their list, finally arrived! ”

Not counting Weiss, there were 9 members of the wargame team, and 5 people, including Mustegen, were selected to participate in the demonstration of the training subjects. The remaining four people, one is Dio, who has just entered, and the other three are White, Nouri, and Robert, the former is responsible for contacting and finding out the news of all parties, and the latter continues to study wargame deduction strategies here.

Hearing Dio's words, the three of them stepped forward quickly, but Weiss stood beside the sand table and did not move, and said helplessly: The Norman Empire's visitors only got this information after they arrived, are they embarrassed?

White, a third-year student who had come to Dio's side first, muttered, "Their leader is Gones-Mslet-Gravel, the general affairs officer of the Royal Norman Army Academy. Belch...... What is the position of their General Affairs Officer? Is it the same thing as our Quartermaster? ”

"I don't know! It feels like a lower position than the principal, an official in charge of various affairs in the school, and the position should be relatively high in the school. But...... He doesn't seem to be very old, he is estimated to be in his forties, and this kind of person is either very capable, has a strong background, or both. Theo said.

White continued with the name on the list: "The associate leader is their chief technology officer, Loman Sag Ginter, who sounds like a senior faculty member or advisor or something. ”

"Wait!" Another third-grader, Nuri, chimed in, "That's a familiar name! Loman Sag Ginter...... Well, I think about it, this guy can't be the 'ghost Ginter', one of the three ace snipers of the Norman Empire in the last war, who shot more than 400 times! Hey, I'll go back to my dorm and flip through my Sniper's Manual! ”

Dio responded: "Judging by age and identity, this Ginter is most likely what you call 'ghost Ginter'. But it's not surprising that our number one sniper, Colonel Borgweyne, also regularly comes to Baston to teach sniping skills. ”

Nuri nodded in agreement.

"Their cadets are Osmano Duque, Franz Mario Leitner, Carl Mag Batra......" White read out all 12 cadet names in one breath.

All are completely unfamiliar names.

"Will there be a few Norman royals in this?" Robert, a third-grader, speculated curiously.

"It's hard to say about royalty, but the nobility certainly has, like this Frings-Zell-Lenz. The Zel-Lenz family was a hereditary nobility with a very long history in the Norman Empire, and in the last war, Admiral Wilhelm-Zell Lenz, commander of the Norman Left Wing Legion, came from this family. Dio was so convincing that he didn't know it or if he had heard it from the list provider.

Robert speculated, "So, the Norman commander of the First Battle of Austria in the last war was named Vassar Pressler, and there was a Pressler in this list...... Rett Andrés Pressler, is also a nobleman? ”

"It is said that Pressler is a very common surname in the Norman Empire, just like our Riddle, Raters, and Larson, and it is used by hundreds of thousands of people, and they are all over the place, and there is no blood relationship between the families. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's that we still don't know what they're good at, what they prefer, and what tactics they're used to...... We still don't know anything about that. ”

"Actually, I just met a senior who works in the military intelligence department, and they don't have more information than we do, but he gave me a very good suggestion - today's welcome dinner is a crucial opportunity for us to talk to them and try to understand their personalities and thinking, and then record them and analyze them." ”

"There are 12 of them, and if you want to know them all, you have to make the assignments in advance to make sure that nothing is missed," White asked. One more question...... Where are we going to find so many Norman speakers to come in and translate? ”

It's a real question, and Weiss can't help but prick up his ears.

Dio replied calmly: "The school has invited 10 instructors and cadets who are proficient in Norman from the First Higher Education School of Aocheng, and our military academy has 2 instructors who can speak Norman, and 2 translators sent by the military, so there are exactly 14 to 14." We don't have to deal with the 2 leading officers of the Normans, we have to be familiar with the 12 cadets. We have a team of 10 people, and I've thought about it, and if everyone has a good opinion, I'll go to De Nora and Ari for help, and that's it. ”

"I'm okay with that!" White replied, "Of course it's best if they can help!" ”

"I'm okay with that." Nuri Dao.

"No comment!" "It's up to them to say yes." After all, they really wanted to join our team, but they were turned down. Now, we've got another second-year student coming in, and they'll have some ideas! ”

When Dio looked at him with an inquiring look, Weiss shrugged his shoulders and replied very succinctly, "No comment." ”

"Well, since everyone has no opinion, I'll take care of this." When Mustegan and a few other big bulls were away, Dio looked like a talker. As it turned out, he had a problem with hesitation in dealing with big scenes, and he was able to deal with such transactional things, in other words, he was born to be a deputy.

Outside the window, the sound of platoon guns was fired one after another. Several students in the wargame deduction room, although they are concerned about the performance of their companions, but the responsibility lies in the fact that they still seize the last time to study the large and small examples in the history of modern warfare in the Norman Empire - according to the prior negotiation between the Royal Army Academy of the Norman Empire and the Badston Military Academy of the Free Federation of Ulster, the wargame deduction confrontation is a win-win three-game confrontation, and the two sides each select two tactical templates and make the corresponding tactical sand table, and then draw three tactical templates one by one by random selection, and each tactical template conducts a confrontation. Regardless of the results of the random selection, at least one of them was based on the Normans' tactical templates, and according to conventional logic, they should have made tactical templates based on a real battle example in their country's war history, and most likely in the last hundred years.

Therefore, after the plan of wargame deduction and confrontation was determined, the team members not only studied and deduced the battle examples related to the Norman Empire that can be found in tactical textbooks and military books, but also deliberately went to the library to find a large number of non-professional military history books, and found out the war cases that were not included in the scope of federal military research, not very well-known or not mentioned by federal military experts. Although the simple sand table is not enough to visually show the whole environment of a battle case, and one or two reviews are not enough to let the students understand the essence of the battle case and tactics, at least they can know it when the opponent chooses this battle case.
