Chapter 13: The New Army of Dongying

DR 1830, late summer Edo

When the Edo Treaty upset the political situation in Toei, Lorraine and his Eastern Expeditionary Force were not idle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After notifying the country of the diplomatic conclusion through an ultra-long-range magic communicator, the expeditionary force was entrusted by Nobunaga to start a new life in Edo.

That is military training and arms procurement!

Seeing the strong performance of the Brittan soldiers, Nobunaga realized that his vision could not be limited to the country.

At this moment, the world is entering high-speed industrialization because of the rapid development of magic technology.

People of insight have realized that without keeping up with the pace of industrialization, there is no way for an agricultural country to confront an industrial country alone.

Especially from Lorraine, when he got a rough summary of the Northern Expedition in the New World, Nobunaga felt that he didn't have enough time.

The Brittan soldiers who came to Dongying turned out to have elite magic armored units, rotorcraft and fixed-wing brigades soaring in the air.

The mighty and majestic Grand Naval Fleet, especially the carrier-based aircraft in it, carried a large number of warplanes for surprise attacks, which was very much to Nobunaga's appetite.

Don't say it, the terrifying floating battlefleet, the cannon of the giant ships and the air superiority, it should be said that it is unimaginable, right?

It is precisely because of this that it is not enough to have the Eastern Expeditionary Force join, there must be a force of the same type that can be controlled by oneself.

"So, Nobunaga wants us to train a new army, and the standard must be at least the strength of the expeditionary force."

"Sir, if you just train infantry, there are not many difficulties, but logistics is the key!"

Faced with the doubts of the subordinate officers, Lorraine was also helpless.

Nobunaga's requirements are difficult to meet, you must know that there are not many magic guide factories in the entire Toei, and a few workshops are also oriental.

Having had little exposure to Eastern techniques, Lorraine was not at all sure that she would be able to build a factory with the same effect.

"I'll solve the logistical problem, and I hope you can seize the time to train the Dongying soldiers."

"Lord Lorraine, it's so difficult to train the Dongying soldiers, we need support!"

"For example?"

The officer who took the lead had a bitter face, and counted them one by one, "First of all, there is a language problem, there must be enough translators, but now there are fewer communication channels, and it is impossible to continue without solving this problem." ”

"I'll find a way to do this, I think that guy Miura is sure to solve it." Language is indeed a problem, but with the presence of dogleg Miura, there is no need to worry too much...... Probably.

"Well, then it's the soldier's brain!"

"Brains?"

"That's right! They're so stupid! ”

"yes, you can get even a simple count and direction wrong, how can this be trained!"

"I'm often lazy, and I'll collapse and run away if I'm scared casually, we need a black dog!"

The complaints of the officers made Lorraine helpless, and the quality of the soldiers themselves could not be solved overnight.

Lorraine had also talked to Nobunaga about this before, but the other party didn't have much to do.

"The recruited soldiers have never left a radius of fifty miles from birth to death, and they have no knowledge and no one to impart knowledge, and it is too difficult to meet your standards."

"Isn't there a little bit of high-quality grassroots soldiers?"

"Absolutely!" Nobunaga took Lorraine to the school grounds, where he saw a group of elite Toei samurai, cavalry, and sword drawing teams training there.

"See? These are the elite of the Oda family, the quality is absolutely up to standard, and they are the best choice in the country in all aspects. ”

"But you can't give them to me......" Lorraine knew after listening to Nobunaga's explanation that it was impossible for these people to become the new army.

"That's true, even if the salary of the new army is increased to twice that of ordinary soldiers, it is impossible to let them join, you must know that their Yulu is already the top in the Oda family's army."

Therefore, there is no way to solve the problem of the quality of soldiers, and we can only use it.

"I can only help you with the problems of the soldiers themselves...... By the way, what do you think of that ghost girl military art team? ”

And the answer Lorraine got - of course it was a good one!

As a ghost girl team with Dongying characteristics, she can sing and dance and care about soldiers, and she can also make a cameo appearance as a medical soldier in an emergency.

The most critical point is that there is no need for a salary, as long as there are soldiers to provide energy every day, simply put, to accompany them.

Of course, this kind of good thing is good to see, mercenaries don't make money for consumption, since there are such top beauties in the army, it doesn't matter if it's a person.

"In that case, the quality of the ghost girl should be guaranteed...... Then let them teach the new army and improve the cultural quality of the new army, otherwise there is no way to teach artillery or anything. ”

That's how it looks, the ghost girls agree with the arrangement of the great onmyoji (actually the mage) Lorraine, but the teaching scene is really enviable......

"Classmate...... Guys...... This knowledge point ...... To be the main ...... Ah, tap! ”

"Teacher, I'm sorry I was being rude!"

"Hey, hey, you've been three times, can you hurry up, there are still a lot of people waiting!"

"That's right, you bastard! I'm going to beat you up if I'm not going to hurry up! ”

Lorraine had completed the task of cultural education in less than a week, and the enthusiasm of the entire new army had been mobilized, although it was not a good direction.

The ghost girl needs the spirit to maintain herself, and the new army is more eager for the beautiful master and craftsman big sister, naturally the sky is thunderous, and the scene can get out of control.

This news was also known to Nobunaga, and he came over to tease Lorraine, "I didn't expect the general of Brittania to come up with such a popular teaching method, I am a little envious." ”

Speechless, especially because the teaching time was too long, which led to an emergency assembly, the new army was generally listless, and the body was simply hollowed out!

"Bastard! How can such a new army be pulled down on the battlefield!? ”

"Sir, it's useless! have all been hollowed out by the military art team! ”

"In that case, it can only be supervised by the original disciplinary committee......"

So, when the new army thought that there were still good days, there were a few more officers in black clothes and big caps around the instructors.

This is the famous Brittan specialty: the employee of the Internal Security Committee, nicknamed the Black Dog, and in the army he is called - political commissar!

Of course, the expeditionary force did not bring many political commissars internally, and Lorraine could only train the local war supervisors in Dongying, manage discipline and training in the army, and enforce military law by the way.

I have to say that with the internal manual and Nobunaga's unconditional support, these Dongying black-skinned dogs have done a really good job.

The unhealthy tendencies within the Forces nouvelles soon died down, and everyone obeyed the command of the expeditionary force instructors, albeit at the cost of more than 300 heads hanging at the camp gates......
