Like the Cossack regiments, Marin did not intend to put the Hungarians in charge of the four Hungarian cavalry divisions, but to appoint all Germans. Even the Hungarian Zhuzak, whom Marin was very optimistic about, was only the deputy commander of the 1st Cavalry Division. As for the main officers of the cavalry divisions, Marin intended to draw cavalry officers of German Cossack origin from the Cossack regiments.

Although the officers of German Cossack origin did not know how to use war hammers and shields, this did not prevent them from fighting only with Hungarian hussars. After all, officers don't necessarily need to rush to the front line, and it's okay to stand on the side and give orders.

Of course, a mere German officer could not control the Hungarian cavalry very well. Therefore, Marin would select a group of Hungarian defectors who were sincere in their submission to him like Zhuzak as his lieutenants to assist the German officers in the management of the army. Moreover, Marin definitely did not choose those Hungarian cavalrymen with high prestige as adjutants, but chose those with low prestige and sincere submission. In this way, it was not easy for the Hungarian cavalry to hold together. After all, the chief official was a German, and the adjutant was still a defector with little prestige, and it was difficult to gather those Hungarian cavalry. As for the question of whether the command is active or not, it is not a problem, there is strict military discipline there......

Therefore, after these Hungarian cavalry were gradually in place, the first step was not to train cavalry, but to train infantry platoons. At the very least, they had to be confirmed to be obedient before they were officially cavalrymen.

Moreover, Marin does not have so many war horses for them at the moment, and they still need to go to the Crimean Khanate to buy them. It is certainly not possible to use native German horses, and besides, buying 10,000 war horses and replacing them with pack horses is too much of a movement. Even if you go to Hungary to buy it, it is Vladislas II's territory, and it will leak secrets. It was kept secret only by buying from the Crimean Khanate, a pagan power that had little to do with the rest of Europe.

And to transport back the war horses bought from the Crimean Khanate, it was only necessary to go through their own in-law allies, the Kingdom of Poland. Then, 10,000 horses will be transported back to China via ports on Poland's Baltic coast. On the contrary, the 10,000 pack horses for transfer will swagger back to China by land. The external explanation is that in order to promote horse farming in Beihai Country, a lot of horses are needed......

But as long as it is not a large number of war horses, other countries will not care. Poland, the only one who knows, is still an ally, and will not talk nonsense.

Moreover, in normal years, Marin actually introduced a lot of Eastern European Mongolian horses, thousands of horses per year. As long as Marin is not stupid enough to introduce all the horses at once, but several times, it is not very noticeable. After all, that's what he usually does.

It just so happened that a number of oxen and horses were built in the Americas to transport cattle and horses, which were originally intended to be sent to Persia. But now the local side is in urgent need, so Marin sent clippers to the New York shipyard to send an order, asking them to transfer the first batch of cattle and horses back to China first, and go to the coast of Poland to transport the 10,000 war horses.

The Long Island Shipyard in New York has built 10 cattle and horse boats, each of which can hold 160 horses or 160 cows at a time. If you have 10 boats together, you can transport 1,600 horses at a time, and you can transport 10,000 horses in a few times. Moreover, it is relatively close from the coast of Poland to the coast of the North Sea State, and it does not take long to go back and forth several times. At least, without delaying the start of a war with France.

As for the present, when the Hungarian cavalry was not yet in place, Marin planned to train with the imported Eastern European Mongolian horses of the Crimean Khanate. These ponies are not explosive, but they are honest and obedient. It's a big deal, I don't practice charging now, but it's still okay to contact the transfer march. After all, under normal circumstances, the march of the army is indeed mainly based on riding pack horses, and war horses are very precious, and they should rest more in peacetime.

In this way, because the Hungarian cavalry basically has no horses, even training has to go to nearby villages to borrow horses. Therefore, even the 1st and 2nd Army Corps, which were stationed in East Friesland Province, the core area of the North Sea State, were not discovered by foreign spies to have increased their cavalry by 2,500 cavalry. After all, it's cavalry, and the horses aren't in place yet.

Moreover, Marin deliberately did not let these Hungarian cavalrymen wear the black cross and white vests representing the regular army of the North Sea State, but let them wear the gray linen vests representing the soldiers and civilians, which made them even more inconspicuous. Those foreign spies found out that the First and Second Legions were training a group of "peoplemen", and they thought that these "people" were mainly used for food protection teams.

The so-called food protection team actually means that when the people are transporting military rations, they will select the strongest group of people with weapons to protect them from the enemy to avoid being taken away by the enemy.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of these food protection teams is very average, and it is easy to break and escape. It is okay to use it to deal with small groups of enemy troops or bandits along the road who covet the grain transport team, but there is no way to really encounter the enemy's large army. Even if the food guards trained a little more, they would be able to delay the defeat for a while longer, so that they could wait for reinforcements. This is because most of the members of the grain protection team are farmers, not soldiers who are out of work, and they usually have to go back to farming. In particular, in the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, it is necessary to go back to participate in labor. Therefore, the training time of the soldiers of the grain protection team is not guaranteed. Moreover, they are not qualified to live inside the camp, and can only camp in a corner outside the camp. Only in wartime is it allowed to settle within the promise, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy first and causing chaos.

Marin had these Hungarian cavalrymen put on gray linen vests and set up a small camp on the edge of the main camp, so that the foreign spies could mistakenly think that they were the grain guards among the people.

But Marin knew that sooner or later it was going to be a goof. As soon as the horses arrived, the Third and Sixth Legions would be fine, and the First and Second Legions would definitely be focused on by foreign agents. So, you still have to find good excuses and excuses......

Just when Marin was worried about how to disguise these Hungarian cavalry and find some excuses, he sent them to the door under the pretext......

……

"Your Majesty, Headmaster Alsace begs to see you!"

"Arthas?" Marin was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered the great dutiful son who held the frost sorrow in his hand, but soon remembered that this was not the Lich King, but the former commander of the Cossack cavalry regiment......

However, due to his poor performance in the war, Marin had already removed him and replaced him with Jurgen as the commander of the new Cossack cavalry corps.

But for this first corps commander, Marin did not let him stay under Jurgen and be humiliated, but transferred him to manage the cavalry school. Although the headmaster of the cavalry school did not have military power in his hands, he was also a general, and he was the same rank as the commander of the regiment Jurgen.

The so-called cavalry school refers to a school established by Marin to train young cavalry after defeating the coalition of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms and annexing the Duchy of Lüneburg, which covers an area of more than 7,000 square kilometers.

Marin even said that 5,000 Cossack cavalrymen and their families moved to the Lüneburg steppe in the name of "tribal migration". Then, Marin selects school-age teenagers with riding skills from all over the country and enters this school for training. They were trained in a different direction from the knights of this era, they did not learn the cavalry charge of the plate knights, but instead learned the martial arts of the light cavalry, but also learned the tactics of the lancer charge. In short, they were trained according to the requirements of the lancers, and similar to the Polish hussars, they belonged to the kind of cuirassiers that were intermediate between the deterioration of the plate knights and the light cavalry.

Now, four or five years have passed, and it is estimated that the first batch of teenagers has almost learned and is about to graduate. Marin figured out that Arthas, the headmaster of the cavalry school, had come to him for this......
