"We won't be surprised to do this!"

A deputy battalion commander with a major in the Czech principality looked at his boss with some concern, how could the lieutenant colonel battalion commander answer this question?

"If there is no accident, we will take Klaipe to become the most dazzling hero of the Eastern Front, if there is an accident, we will be wiped out, it is as simple as that, it is better to have a good rest in the free time if you are worried, and it is estimated that there will be a hard battle at night."

If Ernst had been here, he would have recognized the lieutenant colonel who spoke as David Pussin, whom he had met, the second son-in-law of Ernst's uncle, Viscount Rossi. He is also a Moravian veteran, and he is very good in terms of ability and communication, but he suffers from the fact that his father-in-law is Viscount Rossi.

Ernst had always had great concerns about the Moravian and even Czech nobles, and although he had suppressed them, he had to compromise with them in some things, such as keeping their titles and some of his privileges, and he had to compromise and guarantee that there was no secret in name, and this was the main reason for being wary of them.

The army has always been something that Ernst valued, not to mention that these nobles and the cabinet government of their descendants have no power to touch, if it were not for this, there would be no Wehrmacht and the Royal Army, compared to the Wehrmacht, the Royal Army is undoubtedly the son of the Czech Duchy, the son of the Czech Principality.

In some private occasions in the Czech principality, officials once said that even if the entire Czech principality cut off the cost of living at the court, the salaries and equipment of the Royal Army would not be reduced in the slightest. Although these are rumors, it can be seen that the salaries of basic soldiers in the Royal Army are now almost twice as high as those of low-level government officials. Masséna had sought Ernst several times for this, but there was no doubt that there was no effect at all.

Although the Royal Army of the Czech Duchy is only 100,000, their combat effectiveness is completely equal to the most elite part of the German Army, and there is no doubt about loyalty!

The topic is a little remote, and let's talk about the experience of Lieutenant Colonel David Pussing in recent years: on the recommendation of Viscount Rossi, he came to the Moravian General Staff as a small second lieutenant staff officer, at that time Ernst was actually not wary of the nobles outside Moravia and there was no need, so David Pussing had more or less power, but with the increase of Ernst's influence, although he was promoted to lieutenant, but the power was completely absent.

Later, until the establishment of the Czech Duchy, David Puszin sat on the cold bench and had little promotion, but he did not have any resentment in his heart, and he could understand that Ernst had no regrets and many regrets and losses towards their relatives, who were inextricably related to the local aristocracy, and even wanted to leave the Moravian Army many times.

The formation of the Czech Principality was an opportunity, as the Royal Army had grown from 3 to 10 divisions, and he was a capable and backbone veteran, especially now that his father-in-law was being reused by Ernst to promote his old friend, whom he had known from the beginning, to the position of battalion commander with a stroke of a pen, for the 3rd Royal Army Division, which lacked a large number of junior corps.

A small battalion commander naturally treated David Pussimin a little badly, but after all, he still had something to be suspicious of, and being the commander of the first battalion from the beginning was already his greatest effort. David Puszin understands this as well, so he is grateful to his old friend, Commander, and he sees this attack on Klaipeda as his chance.

Must be successful, must be successful! He is not too powerful in Viscount Rossi's family, after all, he is not from a very good background and has not achieved fame for such a long time, if he can, he even wants to break away from Viscount Rossi, his wife's character is not too good, and Viscount Rossi's family also looks down on him, not to mention that his military position over the years has a considerable relationship with Viscount Rossi.

"Battalion commander? Battalion commander! ”

"What."

Awakened in a state of distraction, David Pussinding must have looked at his guard officer with some doubts, but the guard officer did not answer his words but gestured outside, the scenery outside the window had changed abruptly, and took a closer look at the outskirts of the original destination.

This time they arrived on a train that they had snatched halfway, and the driver and the soldiers on the train had already been killed by them, but they were not sure what was going on in Klaipedari, so they were ready to assemble the team on the outskirts and then make a surprise attack.

Since the advent of telephone and telegram, the importance of news has been much more convenient, and no one can be sure that things must not have leaked out, and it is okay if they do not, but once they leak out, they rush straight into Klaipeda, which is undoubtedly an act of seeking death. What is an advantage for these soldiers of the Czech principality? Naturally, advanced weapons and preparations, which were used in a wide area, and in the railway station they had only a share of slaughter.

As night fell, a train suddenly braked and stopped halfway, and just as citizens from a suburban town looked at it unexpectedly, the scene in front of them suddenly made them feel the urge to faint.

Stomp, stomp!

This is the typical sound of the boots of the soldiers of the army of the Czech principality, and the extravagant Grand Duke Ernst gave his private army not only sophisticated equipment but also luxurious military uniforms. If there is any country in the world whose military uniform is easy to identify at this time, it is undoubtedly the Czech Duchy, because their military uniform is too extravagant and too obvious.

Citizens saw countless soldiers in steel helmets, cotton coats, and leather boots coming out of the train, with the emblem of the Royal Army of the Czech Duchy evident on their shoulders and helmets. In the face of these stunned witnesses, the person in charge, David Pussin, did not brutally carry out the killing, but asked the soldiers to put them under house arrest, and of course, the few who were terrified and wanted to scream were directly shot.

The gunshots and screams caught the town's attention, but no one thought it was an enemy from 600 kilometers away, including the local police, who only thought that there had been a shooting outside the town. There have been a lot of such cases recently, after all, it is a time of war, and it is natural for society to be a little impetuous.

The policemen went out to the place where the gunshots were heard, and no one thought that they would never come back, but these were things for the future, and no one would worry about them, because soon a large number of soldiers would come to the town and cordon it off.

The citizens of the town were very frightened, they feared that they would be harmed, but to their surprise the soldiers of the Czech principality did not infringe on them, they only occupied their rooms and kitchens, and of course "borrowed" them some vegetables and pasta.

It was already a Russian-ruled region, so the Russian language was the subject here, and there was a clear barrier to communication between the soldiers of the Royal Czech Army who spoke German.

It was about 6:30 a.m. when the town was controlled, and then it was 8 o'clock when the soldiers came here to assemble, and the population of the town had broken through to the limit from more than 500 to more than 3,500, and a whole regiment of soldiers of the Royal Czech Army Regiment was gathered here, and of course most of the soldiers were resting in the fields.

It is only more than 10 kilometers away from the target city, and it can be reached on foot in 40 minutes of marching at a speed, but it is a pity that they did not carry too many tanks, otherwise it would be less difficult to attack the city.

This time, the army that finally chose to attack Klaipeda had only three army divisions, and most of the tanks they were inconvenient to carry were in the hands of the remaining two army divisions, and now most of them had siege mortars and a small number of large-caliber field cannons.

The mayor's office of the town has been turned into a temporary command meeting room of the 3rd Royal Czech Army Division, where a large number of high-ranking officers of the regiment have gathered, waiting for orders from the division headquarters while also carrying out the defense of the town, which needs to be used as a satellite city to hold the two wings of Klaipeda in the future.

There are 6 towns in the vicinity of Klaipeda, they are the main road to Klaipeda, so the task of stationing these 6 towns is very important, especially since this town is on the side of the main road.

"Which battalion remains?"

The regimental commander is also embarrassed to assign such a thing, although the credit is the greatest, but it is also a situation of nine deaths, no one expects to be able to really occupy Klaipeda, and now the main purpose of their attack is to distract the attention of the Russian troops in front of them and make them start to have concerns.

Several battalion commanders looked at each other with a little bit of excitement, and several battalion commanders were almost all graduates of the Army Academy, they were impulsive, eager for war, and wanted more merit. David Pussing was undoubtedly not a hot-blooded young officer, but he was equally hungry for success, and therefore ......

"Let's stay!"

David Pussin's words attracted a lot of attention, and everyone guessed with each other who would be the first to speak, but David Pussing was by no means in the speculation of these people, and even several staff officers thought that such a thing was that David Pussing would never stay, including several battalion headquarters staff officers of David Pussin.

Although surprised, the regiment commander still quickly agreed to David Pussin's request, there is also a saying in the army that respect the old and love the young, since David Pussing has spoken, then this matter has almost been decided, who makes the regiment commander's qualifications in the army is not as good as David Pussin.
