Upper Maginot Line Center: 30 miles east of Ottoman City, the sun does not set on the base camp of the Maginot garrison

Compared with the Lower Maginot Line, which is thousands of miles southeast of the place, the Upper Maginot Line is not as large as the Lower Maginot Line, which has thousands of miles of coastal walls, either in the rear or on the front, but it is also the main battlefield of the Battle of Maginot where the sun never sets, and the number of soldiers killed on both sides in this theater has also reached nearly a million, although many of these "soldiers" are not real soldiers.

"Your Excellency, the last batch of commissions has been distributed, so can we evacuate here?" A middle-aged man in chain mail carrying a huge double-edged axe on his back slowly walked up to a young man surrounded by many officials on whose sun never sets, and asked with a slight bend of his face.

This middle-aged man can be described by the word tiger back and bear waist, his height is nearly 2.2 meters, and the muscles of his arms are even bulging like a human head, and the thick red hair on his face is under the rough trimming, not only does it look very bad, but makes people feel like they are being targeted by a beast, and the identity of this middle-aged man is even more talkative, because he is a man who has the title of the king of mercenaries in the southeast continent: Flame Lion Bart.

It is said that there are dozens of mercenary groups in the Southeast Continent that recognize Flame Lion Bart as the head of the regiment, and the total number of people even reaches half of the corps, and if you count those mercenaries who are attached to these dozen mercenary groups, Flame Lion Bart can even pull up a corps of mercenaries in an instant, maybe these mercenaries are all fighters who fight separately and have uneven quality, but if nearly 10,000 mercenaries are assembled. Even ordinary cities may not be able to withstand the impact of the other side.

is such a figure who can be regarded as a legend in the mercenary world in the Southeast Continent, but at this time, he has extremely lowered his status. He bent his back like a steel plate to the young man in front of him, who was at least twice as thin as him, and said in a respectful and even awe-inspiring tone. What kind of young man could make a mercenary king like this? Obviously, there are only two generals who are no more than 30 years old, and the name in front of them is George, who was once known as the Timberwolves and is now called Maginow's butcher.

Bart and the nearly 5,000 mercenaries he brought with him Although he had been fighting on the Upper Maginot Line since the beginning of the Battle of Maginot and the sun never set, this did not hinder his understanding of the intelligence of the Maginot battlefield, and the more he understood, coupled with what he saw and heard on this side of the battlefield, the more shocked Bart was.

Bart discovered. The reputation that he had made in the southeast continent, no, it should be said that the war of all the countries in the southeast continent was a child's fight in the face of the battle between the sun and the two empires, and the initially ambitious Bart and his men came to the Ottoman city, which was the most fiercely fought in Upper Maginot at that time, and he realized that what he had experienced before was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the officers who never set the sun in front of him.

On that day, he saw the streets full of corpse fragments and flesh left behind by the so-called volley of 100 cannons, he saw how crazy the group of red-clothed swordsmen on the opposite side was, using their bodies to kill the sea of fire to face the sunset phalanx behind the wall of fire, and he also saw those minotaur warriors who were several times larger than the two sides were torn to pieces without even having a chance to counterattack between the two squares.

That day. Bart found himself feeling fear, realizing that he was so humble, and those so-called skills and fighting moves that survived on the battlefield were of no use at all on the battlefield between the great empires. Because the soldiers on both sides are not afraid of each other's attacks at all, in the eyes of these predators, all they have to do is to kill the enemy in front of them. Even the shield in his hand is not for defense, but to stun the enemy so that he can fight a little longer before dying.

Precisely because of this. He couldn't imagine how the young man in front of him, who was at least 10 years younger than himself, could command thousands of troops against an enemy that was even more terrifying than he had imagined on that battlefield, which was said to be even more terrifying than here.

"Hmm. This time, I want to get rid of you Mr. Bart, after all, the last batch of mercenaries who accompanied him were basically either seriously injured or incapacitated, so I hope that Mr. Bart and your subordinates can safely send them back to Dick City, and the additional salary has been transferred to the treasury of Dick City, and Mr. Bart can go directly to the military department to collect it at that time. After pulling out an envelope from the table, George motioned to Bart not to continue saluting, and handed the envelope in his hand to Barth: "As for Mr. Barth's fleet returning home, due to the shortage of the navy, we may not be able to let Mr. Bart land in Lanster Harbor as previously agreed, of course, we will not fail to fulfill the agreement, but we just hope that Mr. Bart can first take a boat to the New Delhi Peninsula and return home through the military warships over there, as compensation Mr. Barth, we will be responsible for the food and lodging of you and your men along the way." ”

"Then I'll be respectful and obey."

"Okay, then now according to Sun Lin's intentions, the integration meeting now officially begins." After seeing Bart the Flame Lion leave, George motioned for the surrounding Sunset Officers to stand on both sides of the sand table behind him, and asked one of the Sunset officers to come out and place the wood carving on the sand table that had been agreed in advance.

"After the First Battle of Maginot War, due to the excessive losses of the troops, the establishment of each unit was incomplete in a certain way, so Sun Lin decided to carry out a comprehensive transfer and integration of all the troops that never set during the truce, including the rear troops and local troops, and by the way, take this opportunity to complete a new replacement of our army's equipment, officers, and materials. I think that after experiencing the Battle of Shangmaginot, you also understand how good the soldiers and equipment of the two empires of the Central Continent and the Central Regions are, so I hope that you will pay 12 points of attention to this integration. ”

"Obey the will of His Majesty Sun Lin." The sun never sets, and the officers said in unison.

"Well, then I will give a brief dictation of the current state of strength in the Upper Maginot here: first of all, the heavy infantry. At the time of the previous battle, we had placed 24 regiments of heavy infantry in the Haut-Maginot Line, of which 8 were the Mishal Corps. There are 10 heavy swordsmen and 2 orc heavy infantry regiments. The remaining 4 are temporary legions composed of the minotaurs of the underground dynasty that we hired, here I will talk about it first, the 4 mercenary regiments will be disbanded later, although these minotaurs have strong combat effectiveness but the army is too poor, there is a lot of information that the gap in our side in the previous battle is because these minotaurs attacked without authorization, so the heavy infantry regiment we currently have is 20 corps, but the number of people who can fight these 20 legions is only about 12 regiments less than the strength of the army; In addition to the heavy infantry regiment, we also have 8 sunset crossbow regiments and about 30 regiments of light combat regiments. ”

"Now, then, I declare that the standard of reform requested by His Majesty Sun Lin Mian is first and foremost in terms of the strength of the legion. Originally, the strength of each legion of the empire was 10,000, and now according to the draft reform of the new legion, the strength of each legion has been increased from the original 10,000 to 11,000, but this extra 1,000 people are not regular soldiers, but represent the logistics and officers of each legion. ”

Although the Sun Never Sets Empire has countless brave and skilled soldiers, it is an emerging country in terms of military system. There must be some flaws, in this battle of Maginot, Sun Lin saw that the opponent's legion could rely on a sound army system to fight independently even if it could not receive high-level command. Sun Lin decided to carry out a reform of each of his legion systems.

After discussions with the military department, Sun Lin believed that it was not enough for a regiment to have officers and soldiers alone, and that the separation of logistics troops from regimental units was a huge defect. In addition, it includes engineering troops and staff officers in the army, who are not registered in the army roster but are fighting in the army. It had a strict influence on post-war statistics, so the military department, Sun Lin and others believed that each army must have its own army system. Those who did not participate in the battle should also be recorded in the Legion roster, which is why the Legion has now expanded its strength by 1,000 men.

Of course, in fact, it is not required that each legion must reach 11,000 people, according to the content of the plan, in addition to the standard 10,000 regular soldiers, each army must also have the corresponding number of officers, the spy team composed of the field assassin regiment, and the logistics troops responsible for the internal logistics of the legion, such as grain and grass management, horse management, and food, but now these logistics soldiers are different, they are with the regiment logistics soldiers, that is to say, they will go wherever the regiment goes, and they have an official status, which may make the sun never set each regiment spend more on maintenance costs, but this can make those regiments after arriving in a certain area, the way to obtain food is more concise, and the efficiency of the regiment is improved.

"Due to the need to restore the structure of each legion, and we need a large number of basic officers and high-level officers and staff officers, we will reduce the legion, according to the instructions of the superiors, the Sunset Heavy Swordsman Regiment will be reduced from the original 10 legions to 6 legions, and the Mishaal Heavy Infantry Regiment will be divided into 4 heavy axe corps and 2 assault corps, the crossbow regiment will retain 6, and the light war corps will only retain 10 corps after this station, and the orc heavy infantry regiment will remain unchanged, waiting for the replenishment of soldiers on the spot."

George's words are like a depth charge thrown directly into the lake, the original so-called legion reform is simply a layoff, although everyone knows that after the end of the battle of Maginow, the original bloated troops will definitely carry out a large reduction, after all, many legions are actually improvised, but everyone did not expect that this layoff will actually include the regular troops that the sun never sets, you must know that since the rise of the empire that never sets to fight in all directions, no regular army will disappear so inexplicably, Even if a regular legion is crossed out from the legion roster of the military department, it is only because the legion has already died on the battlefield.

"I know that everyone is shocked by why Sun Lin Mian suddenly laid off troops, but I also ask all the legion commanders to fully cooperate after understanding the situation later, and I guarantee in the name of General Sun Never Sets. I will not let the retrenched brothers leave the battlefield in such an unknown way, so I ask for your cooperation. ”

"Yes"

And at this time. Far away in the council hall of Water Qilin City, he also looked flustered because of the military reform plan that had just been sent recently.

"Hey. Sure enough, you're still in a hurry? Sighing lightly, looking at the dozens of senior officers in front of him who were unwilling and panicked, imagining the hundreds of officers outside who were anxiously waiting for the results, Sun Lin could now be said to be extremely troubled, he knew that there was now news that Sun Lin's majesty was going to weaken the rights of the military personnel, although it was true, but in essence, it was completely contrary to those rumors. However, because this matter is related to the secrecy of the military reform on which the sun never sets, and it is not allowed to be declared to the outside world, these rumors are becoming more and more ferocious. Even the officers in front of them, who had experienced strong winds and waves on the battlefield, had just panicked, and even believed that they were really going to lose their heads when they were summoned this time.

"Okay, get up, look at you all like bears, my Sun Lin hasn't been careful to this point, do you really think that if I want to get rid of you or deprive you of your rights, I still need to call you in person? If you don't get up again, you won't know the answers you want. On the throne of being the king of the Outer Qilin Empire, Sun Lin said in a helpless voice, and gestured to all the high-level officers present with his hand.

"Yes. Under the crown. After the officers looked at each other and exchanged glances, they all stood up and respectfully stratified the two teams, standing in the hall twice in a line, and Sun Lin cast his doubtful and expectant glances. Sun Lin couldn't help but feel a chill when he was looked at by dozens of big men, and after swearing that he would definitely go back to the New Delhi Peninsula or Atlantis City for a year and a half after he had done this, he said to everyone.

"Really. I wouldn't be surprised if it were just Braun and Bissles, since you're all new Captains of the Sunset. Or maybe the troops you're leading are some new legions that have only recently been recruited from reserves, but Klaus and Hallmis. I said that you guys are going back more and more, aren't you? Were you stupid at the front with that rock or what? Shouldn't I just temporarily disband your legion and let you go back to the rear to rest for a year? I told you all about the deadline, and I told you that you must report back to the military department in advance when the time comes, what do you mean by this? Eat and drink with me? "Although these guys in front of me are all generals who have made great achievements on the Maginot battlefield this time, especially those who were pointed out by Sun Lin, and even had the record of relying on a regiment to repel more than a dozen attacks of the enemy's several legions, but now these guys with great achievements have been named by Sun Lin one by one.

"Are you illiterate? I have obviously written in my personal letter to you, this time because the new army is still training, and the army as a whole needs a major blood change, there are no extra troops for the time being, so let you go back to the rear to rest for a year, by the way, make up for your shortcomings in strategic command, instead of treating the big war as a battle in which both sides are more than others, I have already given you a long vacation in disguise, you don't say thank you, it's just a mess, do you want to go and see those guys who are still in the army now, They're all tired like dogs, do you understand? And I have stressed in my letter at least several times that this is a military reform, not a layoff, so why can't you? I'm really a dog, I'm really convinced of you! ”

At this moment, Morse, who was wearing a gray cloak, slowly walked to Sun Lin's side from the back door of the main hall, and then handed a letter in his hand to Sun Lin and said: "Your Majesty, the first batch of finished products has been delivered, thanks to those Mo Forging Masters who built it overnight, the battle armor you said can already meet the standards of the new military reform equipment and be able to carry out large-scale standard production, Majesty, you see if it is?"

"Hmph, it's better for them to be on time, otherwise I'm going to make a fuss here." Taking the list handed over by Morse, Sun Lin glanced at it a few times under the annotation of many officers present, and then muttered: "It's okay, you can continue to go to half of your business, and when this matter is done, you will leave for Atlantis City." ”

Morse nodded, and then slowly left the scene, while Sun Lin himself stood up and walked in front of the officers on which the sun never sets: "Okay, I also said what I should say, but since your reaction to this matter is so violent, then I will take you to see the root cause of this military reform, but everything you see next dares to reveal a single word during this time, I don't care how brilliant your previous combat achievements were, when the time comes, one person will reveal that all of them will peel potatoes for me, you know?" ”

"It's Your Majesty!" The sun never sets, and the commander of the army who came to "make trouble" hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully.

"What are you doing here? Let's go! However, Sun Lin didn't seem to care about this group of high-level officers who never set the sun, and had already strode away when they bent over, and at this time they had already come to the side door of the main hall leading to the back garden of the Qilin Palace, and before their figures disappeared, this sentence floated in, and when they heard what Sun Lin said, the high-level officers hurriedly followed up, this is a matter of their official position and even their heads, and they don't dare to go on a business trip again.

"陛xià." When Sun Lin led a group of high-level officers who never set on the sun to move to the current warehouse of the Qilin Palace, which was originally the treasury of the Water Qilin Empire, there were already several craftsmen who had been waiting here for a long time outside the gate, some of them were Mo forgers, some were Atlantans, and their occupations also included armor casters, forgers and even sunset cannon casters.

"Okay, don't ink anything, you all saw it, I was followed by a large number of people to force the palace this time, I have no other requirements, but I hope that what you bring this time can satisfy everyone, otherwise this group of people will tear down all my palace." Sun Lin waved his left hand and said to several military equipment forging masters in front of him.

"Please let me go, we promise that this time it will be in line with everyone's satisfaction, then please follow my steps, and then I will lead you to see the new equipment that our empire will be fully equipped in the past two years." One of the Mo Forging masters smiled heartily and slowly pushed open the door of the warehouse, while several military masters beside him also had extremely confident eyes.

As the door slowly pushed open, everyone, including Sun Lin, was attracted by the contents of the warehouse. (To be continued......)
