Chapter 6: Europe (XVII)

Ding Yi pointed to the two kitchen knives in the hands of the deputy of the cooking class, and asked with a smile: "Are these two kitchen knives the two that you put down the enemy team?" "yes, aren't there just these two? Could it be that the cooking class is still like the chef of the restaurant, bringing ten or eight knives for various purposes?

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ding Yi frowned: "Have you washed it?" ”

"Report sir, I didn't wash it. β‰₯ β‰₯ pointβ‰₯ little β‰₯ said, x." The deputy of the cooking squad put down the kitchen knife very helplessly, he put down the kitchen knife very helplessly, and raised his hand to salute Ding. He knew that it was over, Ding Yi was very strict about the hygiene requirements of the cooking class, and said more than once that "a good cooking class is equal to half a military doctor!" ”

This knife that had just slashed people and hacked people to death, in order to pretend to be forced, he thought about how to show his face in front of Ding Yi, and he was so excited that he forgot to wash it! Sure enough, he was reprimanded by Ding Yi: "Is it very capable of being a small group of enemy divers?" Do you know that these people don't have infectious diseases in their blood? What if they have hepatitis or something? After a while, everyone was infected, and the current level of medicine of this thing is incurable! Do you want to kill everyone? Brainless bastard! Speaking of excitement, Ding almost slapped his head as soon as he raised his hand.

Fortunately, Liu Ji stopped on the side: "Sir, sir, you can't, you can't corporal punishment of soldiers!" ”

Ding Yi was angry, and the halberd pointed at the deputy of the cooking squad and scolded: "I saw that this guy won the first place in the sniper major a few times in the Marine Brigade, and then he was named to come to the guard regiment, who knew that this guy would do such a thing!" Bastard! Ding Yi was so angry that he pointed directly at the deputy of the cooking class after scolding, "You can't stay in the cooking class!" ”

As a result, before interrogating the captives, the deputy of the cooking squad who made a meritorious service. was dismissed from his post first.

And the cooking squad leader was promoted to the secretary general, which was regarded as the auspicious words of the deputy of the class. Walked into the ranks of officers.

However, he looked at the deputy squad leader who followed Ding Yi, but he had a look of resentment.

"Sir. Shouldn't I be the secretary of the department, and should I go on the same duty as him? He couldn't help but ask Ding Yi this question.

Ding Yi rejected him without hesitation: "What nonsense? Do a good job as the secretary general, and the team will be expanded in the future, are you still afraid that your position will be missing? "This is the way to take care of the cooking squad leader, or maybe this guy can't figure it out and makes mistakes.

The personnel of the guard regiment are very strong, even if they are meritorious, except for being sent abroad, it is difficult to have a position to be promoted immediately.

I can mention the secretary to the cooking squad leader. Or because the original secretary was recuperating in Egypt due to illness and could not join the army, so the previous cooking squad leader was also in charge of this work, but now it is just a justifiable position.

And at the end of the day, at dawn, the seventh team sent by the Ottomans was finally found.

They didn't even touch the defensive line at all, and began to get lost more than 100 meters from the barbed wire defensive circle, and then night blindness kept them going around in circles all night until after dawn, when the bombardment balloon changed its guard and rose again. When the artillery sentry used a high-powered telescope to discover that the cavalry battalion had sent a platoon to capture them, the Ottomans were completely exhausted.

"You should leave." After breakfast, Ding Yi went to the field hospital in Smyrna. Speaking to Isabella, "War has broken out, and there is no need for you and your servants to remain in Smyrna for the sake of secrecy. Let's go back to Castile. Live well, war is definitely not as romantic as you imagined. ”

But Isabella is not that easily convincing. She rejected Ding Yi's suggestion: "Your Majesty, I'm learning how to be your knight." All the people here can attest to my diligence. And under Ding Yi's inquiring gaze, whether it was surgeon Zhao Di or other nurses, they all had to nod silently.

This made Ding Yi speechless, because some couldn't answer.

She is willing to obey Zhao Di's training in the hospital, including operating on prisoners and the like, and she does not avoid all kinds of bloody pus wounds, and she really wants to drive her away, which is quite unkind. And Isabella herself is a hardcore fan, who came across the ocean to come over, Ding Yi really can't bear to say anything hard about this little Lori.

"Sir, the disciple has something to tell you." Liu Ji whispered this from the side.

Ding glanced at him, but nodded, turned around and took a few steps back, and motioned for Liu Ji to speak.

"Western monarchs can canonize knights, but if you canonize him as a knight, Mr. should choose a name and teach him to run errands!" Playing with these power tricks, Liu Ji's heart has nothing to say.

So Ding Yi listened to it quite approvingly, nodded and said, "Good." ”

Then he turned back to Isabella and asked, "Will you keep my commandments?" Will you follow my faith? You can keep your faith, but you must be sure that it will not drive you to the interests of Rome and China. In other words, you will not be able to participate in the wars of religion that were waged against Rome and China. ”

"I do, Your Majesty!" Her goose egg face was flushed with pink and her nose twitched, a moment she had been waiting for.

She was given black officer's uniforms, camouflage, and gowns, including a complete set of three-layer chicken breastplates, and a cavalry officer's steel helmet designed by Ding Yi according to Napoleon's cuirassier helmet, which was different from the iron helmet of the infantry, and had ornate decorations.

Isabella, dressed in military dress, was brought to the position, where the Ottomans were assembling in the distance.

Ding Yi then drew his long knife and pressed it flat on Isabella's left shoulder, who obviously had been expecting this for a long time, and knelt down on one knee.

"You will follow the three disciplines and eight attentions."

"Yes, I follow it."

Ding put a long knife to the back of her neck: "You will make it your duty to obey the orders of the monarch and your superiors. ”

"Yes, I will make obedience my vocation."

Ding pressed a long knife flat on her right shoulder: "You will fight for the pursuit of human freedom and justice all your life." ”

"Yes, I will follow the battle banner of His Majesty and never flinch!"

This is a game for Ding Yi, including a whole set of rituals and vows, all of which are things that Ding Yi came on a whim under Liu Jiti. But with Isabella's excited expression and solemn face, at the back, this ceremony began to have a sense of sacredness that Ding Yi himself had not expected.

Isabella was awarded the rank of midship-ensign, and on her officer card, it was noted that the assessment of both common and specialized subjects was not conducted. If she can't achieve above the passing line by this time next year, Zhao Di said to her very seriously: "You will be expelled from the army, which is a more terrible shame for us than death." ”

"I'm sure I'll be able to pass the guΓ² assessment!" She replied with great confidence.

Ding Yi gave her a task: to go to Europe to recruit volunteers against the Ottomans.

Despite the formal mandates and orders, in reality, it was an impossible task.

Because in the authorization, it is specifically stated that the volunteers are not paid any remuneration, and all seizures must be returned to the public, and then waiting for distribution. That is, they can't even make war money, and they don't even have the conditions for mercenaries. And the volunteer army must obey the military discipline of the army under Ding Yi.

But Isabella had no objection to this, and even said excitedly: "That's right, you have to be a person who is really willing to follow Your Majesty, so that you don't have to worry about money, and you are eligible to join!" Ding Yi was really speechless when he heard this, this little Lori really hadn't grown up yet, all he could do was tell her servants and stewards to watch her a little so that she could return to Castile safely.

So little Lori, who had come from all over the ocean, left Smyrna in splendid armor and carrying a long knife, and boarded the voyage back to Casstill, where she bowed to Ding with the salute she had just learned from Zhao Di, and did not let go for a long time, until the ship gradually became a black spot in her vision.

"In the future, try to avoid dealing with this kind of little Lori." Ding Yi let out a long breath.

Liu Ji said with a smile on the side: "Mr. doesn't have to take it to heart, next year, she will not pass the assessment, and she will naturally be removed." At that time, she taught herself to return her armor, military uniforms and other things. ”

"No need, just return the rank, and the rest will be my personal gift to her, and then I will leave the account of my allowance."

Ding Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, for this kind of little Lori, he was really angry and couldn't get angry, he really felt a headache. Just now, she was deliberately dragged to the fortifications, but she was bold, but she was not afraid.

"Sir, the Ottomans are attacking from the east." The communications soldier looked at the signal on the cannon test balloon and reported to Ding Yi.

"Numbers, troop composition?" Ding Yi was not panicked about this.

"About 10,000 riders."

"Order a thousand regular troops, go out of position, and fight in array. On both sides, the 1st and 2nd Battalions were supported by flank machine-gun fire, and Cao Jixiang was ordered to provide a small amount of mortar fire if necessary for the unit to disengage. Ding Yi quickly gave the order.

He didn't plan to use the 1,000 regular army as a civilian man, so he fired a gun? A phalanx of thousands of people, a platoon of guns in turns, and then the guns are enough!

What's more, it is not a front-loading smoothbore gun, but a fixed ammunition with a cartridge case bolt and a rear-loading rifled starting gun!

"Sir." Liu Ji couldn't help but want to dissuade him, but Ding Yi immediately shook his head to signal that he didn't have to speak.

"You have to don't treat them as waste first, they are the regular army, they have been trained in Guangzhou Mansion, and they have the best infantry equipment in the world, except for the Ming New Army and the Roman Praetorian Guard."

"I heard that I fought well, and I have the opportunity to join the Praetorian Guard, and follow Your Majesty!" It was not possible for the regular army to be as silent as the guard regiment, but they were all excited, and when the officer's command was given, they diligently adjusted their ranks and consciously aligned themselves as they marched. So outside Smyrna, the first line of up in the Western world to shoot the party appeared without warning. (To be continued......)
