Chapter 22: The Gereths from afar

Duke Duozan only stayed at the Lion King base for a day and night before returning to Silver Tower City, during which he and Cheng Lei had a detailed discussion on many things in the future and the prediction of the war. In the end, Cheng Lei decided to send a team of thirty instructors to Duke Duozan to help the Yinta City Guards train soldiers.

Duke Dozan was very happy, he knew how strong the Lion King's army was, if he could train his soldiers to the level of the Lion King's army, he would be able to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai in Yinta City with confidence.

After Duke Dozan left, Chongshan came to the office of Cheng Lei, the command headquarters. As soon as he entered the door, he found a seat and sat down by himself, looking at Cheng Lei, who was busy, Chongshan said: "Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you stop for two days, why are you so busy?" ”

Cheng Lei asked the orderly to pour tea and smoke for Chongshan, then he took a sip of tea himself, lit a flue-cured cigarette and said with a smile: "Uncle, the Lion King Army now has a total of 6,000 people, and there are countless affairs to deal with every day. Now I'm just going to deal with the big things, not the little things. You can go and see Zheng Bin and Qi Mi, the two of them are probably too busy to even have time to eat now! No way, who made us choose this life? ”

Chongshan looked at Cheng Lei's tired appearance, and couldn't help but shiver: "In the past, I always saw my father busy fighting every day and night, and he was busy with many things like you. As a leader, are you all like you, not enjoying it, but busy all day long like clockwork? ”

Cheng Lei said thoughtfully: "If you are the leader of tens of thousands of people just thinking about enjoyment, it won't be long before you have no qualifications to be a leader at all, because the first thing you have to be a leader is responsibility." And then the power in your hands! Be a leader, the easiest items. You can't let your men starve to death, you have to give them a place to live. Right? ”

Chongshan nodded in agreement, and Cheng Lei continued: "Then just these few items, the livelihood of thousands or even tens of thousands of people depends on you as the leader, what should you do?" And the six thousand people on my side are not just ordinary people, they also need all kinds of weapons and ammunition and others, all kinds of materials and various relationship deployments, you will feel a headache when you think about it! ”

Chongshan's expression at this time was already frightened: "Hearing you say this, the position of this leader is really not capable of ordinary people!" Oops, be careful. Careful! Chongshan shook his chubby head and went out while muttering, Cheng Lei couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at his back.

This eldest brother is definitely not the material to be the leader. Maybe as a friend, Chongshan is very suitable, because he is a hot-blooded person who has no intention of harming others. However, as the leader of the Tieji tribe, his temperament and personality are not suitable at all, and he is completely unable to become a qualified leader. His younger brother Temu was different, he was thoughtful and had a lot of brains. Cheng Lei felt that in the future, the leader of the Tieji tribe must also be ironwood.

However, this also requires Dun Leha to be impartial, and will not tilt the balance in Chongshan's heart on Chongshan's side because Chongshan is the eldest son. Although Cheng Lei and Chongshan are good friends, if Dun Leha asks for his opinion, Cheng Lei will definitely recommend Tiemu instead of Chongshan. This is because it is a question of the future survival and development of a tribe of 10,000 or 20,000 people. Without a good leader, I am afraid that nomadic tribes will have a particularly difficult time surviving, after all, they do not have their own real territory.

Chongshan held back for a long time before he said his thoughts: "Brother-in-law." You said you were going to give me a chariot, but you never asked for it again, maybe you forgot about it. Now I want a tank with that kind of armor. Can you give me one? That big guy is so majestic and domineering, I really like it! ”

Cheng Lei thought for a moment. said: "Okay, I'll give you one, but I'll have to wait until the next batch of tanks is produced." Because the current tanks are all fully equipped with armored regiments, and they are very skilled in coordinated operations, I can't dismantle the tank regiment of the Lion King Army and draw one for you! ”

Chongshan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, brother-in-law, where do you want to go, as long as you can give me one, I will be satisfied." Then I'll wait for the next batch to be produced, how can you equip me with tanks in the army? ”

Cheng Lei feels that Chongshan is still better at this point, and Chongshan will not embarrass others because of his own selfish desires. Especially for the people he values, Cheng Lei is of course his most valued friend and relative, so of course he can't let Cheng Lei be embarrassed because of him.

A week later, a combined army of 5,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry under the supervision of Mogoda himself marched to the front line of Silverstone. The name of this combined army is called the Fourth Army of the Liedong Federation. The commander of the Fourth Legion is Mo Geda's hardcore subordinate, whose name is Tadi Mountain, and the deputy legion commander is a person Cheng Lei is quite familiar with, Sikong.

Sikong has been unknown for a long time, and even Cheng Lei didn't find him when he went to Daheng City for a meeting, but he didn't expect him to appear again at this time. And he is still the deputy commander of the 8,000 soldiers, which makes people who are familiar with Sikong feel a little worried, especially Duke Dozan.

After all, Sikong was beaten out of Silver Tower City at the beginning, like a lost dog. Of course, Duke Dozan was afraid that the Sikong Society would declare a personal vendetta and take the opportunity to take revenge on him. So Duke Duozan sent someone to bring a letter to Cheng Lei, and Cheng Lei replied to him that if Sikong dared to make a move, half of the Lion King's army would immediately drive to Yinta City to protect it.

The other half of the centaurs drove directly to Daheng City to ask Mo Geda for the blame, if things were bad, Cheng Lei didn't mind directly occupying Daheng City and then letting Duke Duozan be the highest official of the Liedong Federation. At that time, no matter how powerful and bold Sikong is, he can't disobey the will of the federal government, otherwise he will be a mutiny.

No matter who the supreme leader of the federal government is, even if it is a dog, as the fourth legion directly under the federal government and even the General Military Department, he must unconditionally obey the order, otherwise he will rebel and become a traitor to the entire Liedong Federation, which is unbearable for everyone, and everyone wants to get rid of it quickly!

Moreover, Sikong is only the deputy commander of the Fourth Legion, and most of the decision-making power is in the hands of the chief officer Tadi Shan, and Sikong only has a small part of the decision-making power and suggestion power. Tadi Hill if he is a resolute and arbitrary man. Sikong doesn't have any influence and voice here at all, and he can make decisions about everything himself. If Tadi Hill is an indecisive person. Sikong may still have some power in the Fourth Legion, but not very much.

The news of the Fourth Legion's departure for Silver Tower City lifted the mood of everyone in the Liedong Federation. With these 8,000 troops, the hope of being able to resist the successful invasion of Balen'ou was a little greater. Countless people's eyes are on the battlefield of Silverstone City, because the battle on Silverstone's side has been too long, so many people think that it is time for the final battle.

Only Cheng Lei didn't think so, he felt that it was too early for a decisive battle, because if the decisive battle was so hasty and hasty, the Balonou army would not have confronted Silverstone City for so long. In the event of a decisive battle, the Balen'ou army also had to consider the subsequent deployment of troops if they captured Silverstone after the decisive battle. Reinforcements were also made available in various materiel, weapons and ammunition.

These problems require a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to solve, so the Baron's army does not dare to invest too many troops to fight a decisive battle with the Liedong Federation Army in Silverstone City. Moreover, the vast majority of the Balen'ou army is now on the southern battlefield, and the Balen'ou domestic general military department has no intention of increasing troops to the eastern battlefield, because in their eyes, the country of Yitos is the real big fat meat.

Li Changcheng has now fully entered the regular training of the recruit corps, and since the previous captives can be regarded as professional soldiers, they are in a state of flux. It's just that because of the mentality of these captives, the issue of their identity and position still needs to be reversed, so there needs to be a period of education, and it depends on what the instructors of those ideological classes teach them.

Now the four infantry regiments and the Lion King armored regiment in the base will conduct a real combat exercise every once in a while. It's all about enhancing the soldiers' understanding of the battlefield and their sense of real contact with the war. The usual training also increases the amount of training and the inculcation of various knowledge and information all the time, and every soldier is particularly tired every day, but they have faith in their hearts, and they do all this for the Lion King base. For their homeland! Fight, fight, keep fighting!

Li Changcheng looked at the new regiment that was growing every day. I was very satisfied in my heart, these elite soldiers of the former Balun European country really did not cover it. Their military literacy and abilities are not comparable to those refugee soldiers at first. It's just that we can quickly turn our mentality around and let them fully integrate into the Lion King Army. It also takes process and time.

Time, what the Lion King Army lacks most now is time! Although Li Changcheng has a unique talent for training recruits, he does not like training recruits very much. Although he watched the soldiers he trained enter the infantry regiments and armored regiments, Li Changcheng himself became the person who could win the hearts of the army the most besides Cheng Lei. But what Li Changcheng likes most is the battlefield atmosphere, and leading an army to make meritorious contributions is what he yearns for and hopes for.

The Lion King instructor team trained by Li Changcheng has become a benchmark, they are drawn out to train recruits when they have recruits, and they return to each regiment as the technical backbone of each regiment when there is no recruit training task. These people can't say that they will be candidates for various officers in the future, they are all people who have made great contributions to the Lion King Army, and Cheng Lei will definitely not forget them!

A team of twenty instructors was ordered to go to Silver Tower City a few days ago to help the Silver Tower City guards train soldiers. Duke Duozan also asked Cheng Lei to draw up a detailed armament list for the Yinta City Guard, which listed all the daily and wartime weapons and equipment of the Lion King Army's soldiers.

Duke Dozan wants to build a guard that imitates the infantry regiment of the Lion King's army, and by that time all the weapons and ammunition will be equipped, and Silver Tower City will have the ability to compete with any Balen'o army! In addition, Cheng Lei said that the new corps of the Lion King Army is now trained for Yinta City, so there will be two Lion King Army infantry regiments in Yinta City at that time.

No matter how strong the Balen'ou army is, even if they can break Silverstone City and Vientiane City, with an army of such strength as the two Lion King Army infantry regiments, Duke Dozan is confident that he will be able to compete with them for a while. Besides, now that the Fourth Legion of the Liedong Federation has gone to the front line of Silverstone City, there will be no crisis in the battle situation there for the time being, and Duke Dozan only needs to train his own soldiers!

In the vast grassland, a team of about 300 horseback riders was slowly advancing. Under the light of the setting sun, the whole body of these people was covered with a layer of golden-red glow.

These people were all dressed in fancy costumes, and they definitely didn't look like Sun Federationers, but they all had guns at their waists or on their horses. Almost every man had a rifle or a pistol, and in the middle of the line there were several pack carts with cannons on them.

A dusty middle-aged man with a dusty face lifted the dusty cloth covering his face and took out a lookout to take a closer look ahead. He muttered something in his mouth, and then shouted a few words to the riders around him, telling them to stop moving immediately.

The middle-aged man greeted him, and two people next to him rode over, and the middle-aged man said in a strange tone: "The great steppe mother is going to give us a gift again, you go to the big tent to report to Your Excellency the leader, there is a gathering place of our Jilie clan not far ahead, we are home!" ”

The two riders nodded yes with excitement on their faces, and then galloped quickly towards the rear. The middle-aged man looked at the figures of the two of them, stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, and muttered, "I don't know if these clansmen will entertain us warmly, or what!" ”

At the same time, Daheng City Mogoda also received a report from the sentry that there was a tribe of the Jilie tribe, numbering about 30,000 people, who was heading in the direction of the Tieji tribe. They are not the indigenous Kirets of the Burning Sun Federation, most likely the Kireth who migrated from the Itos Nation.

The Sabins also received a report from the sentinels that the tribe of the Keret might have fled the kingdom of Itos due to the invasion of the Baron's army. However, the Sabins did not interfere with the relocation of this tribe, because they were still worried about the destruction of the Serenf Legion and did not want to provoke these tribes again.

Mo Geda told Cheng Lei the news as soon as possible, and Cheng Lei immediately sent someone to the Tieji tribe to report the news. After hearing the news, Dun Leha felt a little tricky, the more than 30,000 people of the Kireh tribe, if they came for the Tieji tribe, I am afraid that they did not have any good intentions.

But Chongshan shouted that if they dared to do anything bad to the Tieji tribe, they would all be wiped out or eaten! Although they are all from the Kilie tribe, what qualifications do these outsiders have to be unfavorable to the Tieji tribe! It's just a joke, don't forget that there is Cheng Lei standing behind the Tieji tribe! (To be continued.) )
