Chapter 60: Cannon Fodder Regiment
The next day.
After taking over the task of garrisoning the watchtower, Vega and his subordinates came to the station of the 4th regiment.
The 4th Regiment was subordinate to the 2nd Brigade and was the brother unit of the 3rd Regiment to which Vega was located.
However, the 4th Regiment is different from the 3rd Regiment, they are real cannon fodder troops, and their combat effectiveness is not at the same level as the 3rd Regiment at all, and even the number of people is less than half, after all, the 4th Regiment is just an ordinary regiment-level unit, while the 3rd Regiment is a reinforced regiment with a large establishment.
The 4 regiment was one of the small cannon fodder regiments that had not yet withdrawn to Karenny.
Their main tasks now are guerrilla, reconnaissance, patrolling, logistics...... As for the original fixed garrison task, it has been handed over to other backbone troops. Therefore, the 4th regiment had a fixed target for guerrilla tasks every month, and if the corresponding target was not met, the highest commander of the unit was punished accordingly.
Originally, this was a beautiful difference, because the guerrilla mission was not much different from the military exploits of the white gangsters.
But this is no longer the case.
The first is because the security level of the United Kingdom continues to increase, and the probability of having professionals in the enemy's guard tower has also increased significantly, and the second is because of the uproar of the Kingdom mage hunting the Imperial Profession a few days ago.
Unfortunately, their 4th regiment was the hardest-hit area.
Although the Kingdom Army also lost a large number of magicians, it was really a big loss for the Kingdom Army, after all, magicians are much more valuable than professionals, but their 4th regiment lost 55% of the professionals.
In terms of the degree of bad luck, the 4th Regiment can be said to be the most in the whole army.
The cannon fodder regiment has always been born by the stepmother, and the compensation above has been delayed, but now they are required to complete the fixed target every month, which is why Kiel borrows people everywhere.
Although it is not right to gloat, Vega sincerely thanks the mages of the Kingdom Army, if it were not for the loss of half of the professionals of the 4th Regiment, I am afraid that it would not be his turn to come to the 4th Regiment to participate in the guerrilla mission.
Especially at this stage.
There is a high chance that there will be a professional in the enemy's watchtower, which means that he has a good chance of taking advantage of this guerrilla mission to directly increase his mental power to the level of a level 1 mage, or even higher.
Dangerous?
In Vega's opinion, not becoming a mage is the real danger, he doesn't feel that it is a coincidence that the kingdom sends mages to hunt professionals, and that just because he can be lucky once doesn't mean he can be lucky a second time.
"Stop coming. ”
An abrupt voice interrupted Vega's thoughts.
Two uniformed, but non-ranked, soldiers with spears stopped Vega at the gate of the 4th regiment station.
One of the soldiers glanced at Vega's rank and medal, and there was not much respect in his eyes, let alone saluting Vega, but said with a disdainful attitude: "This is the station of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 7th Division of the Third Army, and non-4th Regiment troops cannot enter." ”
"We belong to the Third Regiment, and we are the troops seconded by the commander of your regiment to assist in the guerrilla mission, and this is a letter of secondment. Vega handed over a document that had been stamped by the regimental headquarters.
The two did not take the papers.
Another soldier snorted and said, "Sir, we are not regular soldiers who graduated from the boot camp, nor are we systematically trained backbone troops, are you trying to deliberately make it difficult for us to be illiterate?"
Vega frowned.
Although he had long heard that the cannon fodder troops had almost no organizational discipline to speak of, and he did not know a word about the military laws and regulations of the empire, he did not expect that they would be unorganized and undisciplined to such a point. If this is put in wartime, it will delay the military aircraft, even ten heads will not be enough.
Probably this is the fearlessness of the ignorant.
Vega didn't care, after all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog: "Then please help me report to the head of your regiment, just say that the 3rd regiment Vega came at the appointment, or find a literate person to come and confirm the documents." ”
"The head of the regiment is what we want to see?"
The first soldier was on his toes: "Besides, we are all 'cannon fodder' here, where to find literate people." ”
Another soldier chimed in: "I see that you are clearly occupying the identity of the backbone army and deliberately embarrassing our cannon fodder troops, I can tell you, don't think that the backbone troops are great, you are just lucky." ”
"Presumptuous!"
The adjutant roared angrily and pointed his spear directly at the two of them: "As a soldier, don't you have the most basic respect for your superiors? If you don't report it, if you delay the military plane, aren't you afraid of being sent to a military court?"
Crash.
With the adjutant's movements, Vega's company all raised their weapons and aimed them at the two.
When the lord humiliated his ministers to death, the loyalty of his subordinates to Vega made them can't help but raise their weapons.
"Y-what do you want. ”
The first soldier's face changed, and even his voice trembled a little.
The second soldier was even more unbearable, he was frightened by the fingers of more than a hundred people's weapons, and he retreated again and again, and one staggered to the ground, where was the previous aggressiveness.
"Hahaha. ”
Vega's subordinates burst into laughter, and the two soldiers of the 4th Regiment also had blue and white faces, looking quite embarrassed, but they didn't dare to confront Vega and the others again, obviously frightened.
"Stop. ”
Although Vega looked down on the two soldiers who bullied the weak and feared the hard, he still had to do the work on the face: "We are here to assist in the guerrilla mission, not to find fault with the 4th Regiment, to see what you all look like, bullying the two cannon fodder, cough cough...... Do you feel honored?"
"Yes. ”
Everyone said yes, but they still stared at the two soldiers who were frightened by the slightest fright.
Vega saw that the heat was about the same, so he handed over the secondment book again: "Can you help us confirm the secondment book now?"
"No, no problem. ”
The first soldier took the secondment letter tremblingly: "I suddenly remembered that I had a basic education when I was a child, and I still knew the words of the motherland. ”
"Thanks for the answer, soldier. ”
Vega took back the loan book, and then waved his hand: "All move on." ”
Da-da-da-da.
This time Vega's troops were unimpeded, and the two soldiers did not say anything more.
Bullying the weak and fearing the hard is the consistent style of cannon fodder troops, and most of the soldiers here do not pay attention to the so-called army regulations at all. And the higher-level departments are also lazy to investigate the responsibility of the cannon fodder troops, anyway, they don't dare to find the stubble of the backbone troops, at most they will be horizontal in the nest, and when the time comes, they will die when they go to the battlefield, and they will be left to fend for themselves.
That's why.
The cannon fodder units have become an aggregate of inferiority complexes, and they are crazy envy and jealousy of the soldiers from the backbone troops and the recruit training camp, but they only dare to talk and use fake tricks, and once they realize that the other party is stronger than themselves, they will be instantly beaten back to their original form.
