Chapter 336: A Big Pie for the Puppet Army

In the middle of January of the 39th year of the Han Dynasty, when the Japanese rebels were still trying to consume Paprov's artillery shells with human lives, the white puppet army successfully took two port cities with great economic value, and pointed directly at Rio de Janeiro, the colonial capital of Brazil!

It's just that the rapid advance of the white puppet army has also come to an end, and the developed navigation industry of the anti-Han alliance does not need to slowly transfer troops from the interior to assist in defense, and after urgently deploying a large number of shipping resources, tens of thousands of main forces of the Kingdom of Spain to support South America were transported to Rio de Janeiro!

These armies accumulated by the Spanish kingdom at a loss are not here to defend the city, but to destroy this group of white traitors and regain the lost city of the Brazilian colony!

Zhao Dutian obviously realized the difference in strength between the two sides!

The morale of the white puppet army, which is enveloped by empty titles and the hope of returning to the Kingdom of Spain in the future, is still a little worse than that of the European army, and it is naturally no problem to use them to fight the black armed forces that will only swarm and charge, but let them have a similar number of white European troops, even if the Spanish army has been reduced to a third-rate country, the victory rate is not large......

Although many of the tens of thousands of reinforcements from the Kingdom of Spain are recruits who have never been on the battlefield, there are at least the backbone of officers who have really experienced the fire of war in Europe.

There are even times when the competence of the officer corps is more important than that of the generals!

After all, the officer is the one who directly controls the soldiers and gives orders temporarily, and a unit on the battlefield is in danger and on the verge of collapse, but it is not something that the generals can save with a few words, it depends on the motivation and ability of the officers!

Of course, like Napoleon's revolutionary army, the morale of the soldiers who were brainwashed by primary democracy was much stronger than that of the soldiers of the European armies, who were still in the monarchy......

As for why the later Napoleonic army was not as good as the year after year, the reason is very simple, at first the French soldiers fought for democracy and themselves, and later for glory and aggression......

The most demoralizing moment of the French army was the most intense moment of the Revolution!

It was by taking advantage of this tide of morale that Napoleon completed a gorgeous reversal, and only then did he have the capital to build and expand his army, and take the road of the King of God!

What does the white puppet army look like, Zhao Dutian and Angela know very well that the honor of the nobles and the hope of returning to the Kingdom of Spain are good, but after all, that's just the case. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Therefore, in order to be able to pass through the troops from Spain, Zhao Dutian must further raise the morale of the white puppet army!

Yes, it's morale!

In the era of queuing to be shot, what is the most shocking and terrifying?

It's not the general's art of command, it's not the cannonball whose fate depends on whether God rewards his face, it's morale!

Why can the line infantry be the main force of the army, and why can the more lethal and accurate skirmish hunters only be used as a support?

It's because of morale!

The line infantry lined up and walked together, and the big guys went together to be shot and shelled, just to improve morale, people have a herd mentality, and when there are many people, this courage will naturally be raised!

Although in the era of queuing to shoot, the volley of flintlock pistols could cause a lot of battle damage to the enemy and their own people, but the final decision of every battle was to rely on bayonet hand-to-hand combat!

What is the hand-to-hand fight with the bayonet?

It's not personal martial arts, it's morale!

So many people get together to stab each other, even if it is a martial arts master, he can't show much combat power!

The bayonet charge of this period was not a skirmish line of the First World War, but a dense crowd of people rushing up!

Whoever can win depends on who can survive to the end, as long as the morale is enough and can hold on, standing longer is victory!

And what about cavalry charges? The infantry with high morale can stand up to it with bayonets even if they don't have a complete battle line!

What about the grenadiers' grenades, as long as the morale is enough, the grenades actually kill people, compared to the whole, nothing!

In this era, except for the dense accumulation of grapeshot shells from large-caliber artillery at close range, any battlefield environment can rely on morale reversal!

In the American Revolutionary War that year, the scum Continental Army had taught the invincible British a lesson in morale......

A small high ground, more than a dozen battalions of British elite grenadiers, charging in turn, stunned but not defeated!

In fact, in the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Army could only rely on two things, one was quantity and the other was morale......

The Continental Army is not good at stabbing hard, the guns are not good, the artillery is not as large as the British, and the composition of the army is even more ruthless, as long as you have a patriotic heart, you can join the Continental Army......

But it was this kind of combat power that belonged to the bottom of the Continental Army in Europe, but it won the old world power - the English Empire!

It's just that the morale of Americans is too unstable, sometimes they can sacrifice their lives for the country fearlessly, and sometimes they can be chased like dogs......

And if you want to give an army a strong morale, it is simply from two aspects, one is on the spiritual level and the other is on the material level!

Monarchs have always done it on the material level, but there is an upper limit to the morale improvement on the material level, because everyone knows that no matter how good the things are given, Lao Tzu is a dead bird, and he will fight for an egg!

Although the spiritual level is difficult to grasp, it may become a double-edged sword, but there is no upper limit to spiritual improvement and morale!

The Soviet Red Army at that time had already told everyone that shouting empty slogans could also turn a group of men who did not have enough to eat into soldiers who were not afraid of death!

Of course, the person who can shout such a slogan is also a talent, and ordinary people can't think of it, and those who can think of it dare not shout......

Zhao Dutian naturally belongs to the type of people who dare not shout, so at the spiritual level, he has already given the white puppet army to the top!

The glory of the nobility and the hope of returning to the Kingdom of Spain are already the limit, and Zhao Dutian, as the biggest reactionary dictator, must not put forward half a sentence of many ideas!

The spiritual level has reached its peak, and if you want to improve morale, you naturally have to start from the material aspect, and there is still a lot of room to play here!

Because the stingy Zhao Dutian didn't give the white people any real benefits at all before!

Zhao Dutian was willing to win for the sake of victory, so he asked Angela, the nominal white boss, to come forward in person and give the white puppet army a big material pie!
