However, when it came to the specific arrangement, Marin found a very serious problem - these officers and students seemed to be brainwashed enough......

It is no wonder that when Marin founded the crash course for junior officers, he did not fully cooperate with Bishop Taylor, a brainwashing expert, and asked him to help him train brainwashed priests similar to political commissars. Therefore, in the military academy on the island of Texel, there are no brainwashed priests who are specifically responsible for political propaganda. And because Marin had almost forgotten about the military academy in this remote area, they were not equipped with propaganda priests. Therefore, the "ideological education" of these cadets was very insufficient, and there was no fanatical worship of Marin. Unlike those elementary school graduates, because of their brainwashing every day, they were excited when they saw Marin, and even burst into tears.

Looking at the 200 calm officers and students in front of him, Ma Lin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Therefore, he selected two political work propaganda priests from the army who had the strongest ability to fool and were personally taught by Bishop Taylor, and joined the cadet teaching group, responsible for "reasoning" these cadets and propagating the greatness of Marin every day......

If there are impatient officers among these officers, then I'm sorry, even if this person has talent, don't think about it in the future. Because, unreliable......

However, these young people are only about 22 years old, which is still very young, and they belong to the age of good fooling. Therefore, Marin felt that most of them should be "saved". If it doesn't work, then it can't be used......

Even, their instructor, Gustavo, had to participate in this "political propaganda" every day in order to "straighten out his thinking." If you don't think right, the greater your ability, the more evil it will be......

It is because of this problem of "correct thinking" that many heroes and famous generals have made big mistakes throughout the ages - Han Xin was killed by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, because of his arrogance, although he was extremely capable; The famous general Zhou Yafu was also arrogant and deliberately killed on the grounds that he was worried that the prince "couldn't stop him"; Zhu Yuanzhang was even more desperate, in order to worry that Emperor Jianwen would not be able to convince those heroes, he directly opened a killing ring and slaughtered all the heroes......

Although Ma Lin is not as ruthless as Zhu Yuanzhang, he also does not like his subordinates who are "not upright enough". Although it will not be killed, it will never be reused. Why were Schwartz, Kahn, Kohler, and Sauer reused by Marin? Except for the fact that they followed Marin the earliest, they have always regarded themselves as Marlin's servants. Although he was promoted to the rank of general minister, these people still did not change their original intentions and regarded Marin as their master. Therefore, they can continue to be reused by Marin.

And Marin later recruited many officers from knightly families, such as Frentzberg, the "father of the mercenary of virtue and will" in the original history. Some people are even more talented than Schwarz, like Frentzberg. However, Frenzberg was not loyal enough, and Maximilian I beckoned, and immediately leaned over and shook off Marin.

It was precisely because of the heartbreak of Frenzberg that Marin paid so much attention to the question of loyalty in the future. There are some generals in the army, they are more talented than Schwartz, but because they are from aristocratic families, they attach great importance to the family, and they give priority to the interests of the family in everything, not the interests of Marin, just like those families in China. Therefore, Marin could not fully trust them either. It has even been planned for a long time to use those students who are still in school to replace them in the future. In this way, Marin can be regarded as truly in control of the army. Unlike now, Marin was always worried about losing the battle. Because, when you fight a tailwind, there will be a lot of people who will come to vote. But when you lose the battle, those who are not faithful will also leave. Only those who are brainwashed enough and loyal to the point of fanaticism will continue to follow Marin without regret regardless of victory or defeat.

……

Of course, it's too early to say that. Because, whether you can think correctly or not, even if you let those excellent students of Taylor fool you, it will take a while to see the effect.

For now, Marin still has to further investigate the talents of these officers. Whether it can be used or not, it will take a while to see. And before he saw it, Marin didn't mind examining the basic skills of these people.

So, on his way south to Rome, Marin decided to take these 200 officers with him. In addition, Marlin will bring 100 guards and 200 scouts to keep them safe along the way.

In this way, Marin took 200 of his soldiers, including 500 officers and students, and embarked on the road south to Rome.

Whether it is Marin's guards or Sauer's scouts, they are no strangers to horseback riding. And the 200 military cadets are also no strangers. Because, the officers of this era were all on horseback. As a reserve officer, although they are born as civilians, they also have to practice riding. Although it is not up to the level of cavalry fighting on horseback, it is no problem to ride a horse.

In order to further investigate the level of these 200 officers, Marin ordered the 500 men and horses to be divided into two parts and camped separately - 100 guards and 200 scouts were grouped with Marin, while the 200 officers and cadets were camped independently, not with Marin and them. Moreover, the captain of the 8 veterans was not allowed to instruct them.

The reason for this is that Marin is to cultivate the ability of these officers and students to camp and deploy on the march. In the future, they may lead their troops into battle independently. And camping and defending against enemy attacks are the most basic abilities. And this trip south to Rome was a good opportunity to exercise.

Therefore, Marin let these 200 officers and students camp independently and gather 500 meters from Marin's main camp. Not only that, but Marlin would send scouts to harass them in the middle of the night. If a Scout can be spotted, praise him. If there is no response, let the 8 veteran captains scold......

……

Sure enough, these young officers were still too tender. In the middle of the night on the first day, the scouts sent by Marin easily covered the mouths of their night guards, who were responsible for guarding the camp gates...... Of course, I didn't wipe my neck, after all, I was my own person......

Then, because of the loopholes in the camp, the scouts infiltrated the camp...... If it's a real war, it will be miserable, maybe there will be a "decapitation operation" or something......

Along the way, this group of young officers and students were so tricked by the group of experienced scouts under Sauer that they almost didn't cry. At this time, they realized that the things they learned in school were only the most basic, and many things had to be accumulated by themselves......

Fortunately, it doesn't hurt to be hit by this group of scout veterans. At the very least, it allows them to put away their pride and complacency. In future wars, we can also be more cautious.

In fact, these officers and students who were hit hard did not know that the 200 old scouts brought by Marin would suffer from most of the armies in Europe at this time if they were able to deal with them...... There's no shame in losing to them......

However, Marin will definitely not tell the truth to these officers. Otherwise, it will not have the effect of striking them.

In this way, Marin's group marched while letting those old scouts fight those immature officers and students. Along the way, Marin actually made fun of it, and he didn't feel the boredom of the journey at all, and even participated in the night raid test himself......

And as they walked, those immature officers and cadets also grew up more and more. By the late stage, they were able to resist the infiltration of most of the old scouts. Moreover, they are also accustomed to the use of dark whistles, which greatly improves the ability to give early warning in the middle of the night.

After these officers and students basically got used to the harassment methods of the old scouts, everyone suddenly found out - oops, the city of Rome has arrived......
