Chapter 45: Winter has arrived

Winter has arrived.

Winters in Kareni are less sunny and snowier.

There are only a handful of sunny days in this half month, and the temperature has dropped to about minus eight degrees, and Vega has also taken advantage of this half month to reintegrate into the army and start a backwater life at three o'clock and one line.

β€œ121212......”

On the school field, the 232nd Company, led by Adjutant Char, was doing weight-bearing training around the school field, while Vega stood on the command platform and watched his team, and did not participate in the weight-bearing training.

Training for ordinary people is no longer of much use to professionals.

Vega now just wants to slowly save gold coins to buy a suitable combat skill for himself, and this goal can be achieved in about half a year, because as a second lieutenant officer, his salary has increased from one gold coin to two hundred gold coins for non-commissioned officers.

There is a world of difference between the treatment of a lieutenant and the treatment of a non-commissioned officer.

If you are promoted to a colonel-level officer, then the salary is about 1,000 gold coins per month, and the empire has always been stingy with military spending, which is of course also considering that there are a large number of professionals in the army, and the demand for gold coins is relatively large.

However, it is still somewhat difficult to be promoted to the rank of colonel.

Although war is coming, who knows when the people of the United Kingdom will attack, and with the arrogant posture of the entire empire now, it is still two to say whether the kingdom army can win the last battle.

"Sir. ”

A regimental messenger came over and interrupted Vega's thoughts: "The regimental headquarters has informed you to attend this week's regular meeting, please be there on time in 30 minutes, and the location is in the regimental staff office. ”

"Roger. ”

Vega nodded: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"For the Empire. The messenger saluted Vega and headed for the 3rd Battalion.

Vega glanced at the 232nd Company, instructed the adjutant to continue to lead the team in training, and began to walk towards the regimental staff.

It stands to reason that he is not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting as a small company commander, but because of the Order of the Wings of the Empire, he can participate in the decision-making of the regiment headquarters as a company commander, and even has a certain right to speak.

This is the preciousness of the Order of the Wings of the Empire.

Obtaining this medal as a living means that the group army will vigorously train you, not to mention the regular meeting at the regimental level, even if it is an ordinary meeting of the divisional army, Vega also has the qualification to observe.

However, the superiors did not inform him, and Vega did not dare to join in the fun.

Knock knock.

After knocking three times on the door that had been opened, Vega walked into the regimental staff: "Second Lieutenant Vega of the 232nd Company reports to the commanders. ”

"It's just an ordinary meeting, no need to be polite. ”

Regiment Commander Ganser smiled kindly at Vega: "You can sit next to your commander, the commanders of the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st battalions have not yet arrived, and they will start this week's regular meeting when they arrive." ”

"Yes. Vega sat next to the commander of the 4th battalion.

The commander of the 4th battalion is a good-looking man, and his personality is as sincere as his appearance, and he belongs to the type that does not have much scheming.

Da-da-da-da.

The distinctive sound of military boots trampling on the ground echoed through the corridors.

The commanders of the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st battalions entered the conference room, and after saluting the regimental commander and chief of staff, they also smiled at Vega in a friendly way. Compared with the-for-tat confrontation of the military headquarters, the decision-making level of the regiment-level troops is much more harmonious, and every battalion commander gets along quite well in private.

"You may be seated. ”

The regiment commander saw that everyone had arrived, so he started the meeting: "This regular meeting is mainly to convey to you the latest orders of the military department. ”

"Isn't it another cut in military spending?"

The commander of the 1st battalion smiled and said: "It's not me who said, the military spending has been decreasing year by year in the past few years, and the courage of the nobles in the Imperial Ministry of Finance is getting fatter and fatter. ”

The commander of the 3rd battalion laughed: "I said Ma Ke, I see that your courage is fat, a captain battalion commander with a sesame mung bean size actually dares to talk about the generals of the military department in private, be careful that I go to the military headquarters to join you." ”

"Wick, the premise is that you enter the gate to the military headquarters. The commander of the 2nd battalion quipped.

The commander of the 4th battalion patted his chest and said: "Have you forgotten the second lieutenant of our department, as long as he wears the wings of the empire, the entire group army will not be able to go." ”

Knock knock.

The head of the regiment knocked on the table: "It's regular meeting time, give me a serious face, I see that the four of you are idle and panicked, and when the meeting is over, go to the school field to run 100 laps for me, and you don't have to sleep at night if you don't finish running." ”

"Yesβ€”"

The four battalion commanders glared at each other, then laughed again.

Seeing that the time was about the same, the regiment commander also stood up and said: "Okay, that's all for the joke, now I want to convey the latest orders of the military headquarters, the 7th Division, the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Regiment, the 4th Brigade, the 13th Regiment, and the 137th Brigade and the 297th Regiment...... He will be stationed at the border for three months. ”

Crash.

The commander of the first battalion stood up excitedly: "Isn't that what the 4th Cannon Fodder Regiment did to garrison? Why do you want our 3rd Regiment to go to the border line to do such drudgery in this winter?"

"That's right. ”

The commander of the 3rd Battalion was also quite excited: "Although the overall strength of our 3rd Regiment has declined, it has not yet fallen to the point of the cannon fodder regiment, how can this kind of errand be our turn." ”

β€œ......”

The crowd was excited, but Vega frowned, he also couldn't understand the intentions of the military department.

"Be quiet. ”

The regiment commander patted the table again and said: "Don't get me wrong, although our 3rd Regiment is no longer strong, it is also one of the backbone troops, so naturally it will not be reduced to the level of cannon fodder troops, haven't you noticed something strange in the list of the military department?"

List?

Vega was the first to discover the mystery: "Commander, each unit in this list seems to be the backbone of the group army, and there are several elite units of the 1st Division, why would they send these troops to garrison the border line?"

"That's what I'm weird about, too. ”

The chief of staff of the regiment, who had not spoken, stood up and said: "According to the instructions of the military department, this year we are going to replace all the cannon fodder troops stationed on the border with the elite units of the Third Army, and require each unit to raise the alert level, I can't guess the specific intentions of the military department, but as a regimental unit, we only need to act according to the order." ”

"That's right. ”

The head of the regiment also stood up and said: "What we need to do is to resolutely obey the orders of the superiors, this meeting is over, the specific departure time is in a week, you use this week to prepare well, and the meeting is dismissed." ”

The meeting is over.

Vega was the last to walk out of the room.

Perhaps others did not understand the intentions of the military headquarters, but it was impossible for Vega not to understand that the reason why the military headquarters issued this order was probably because the report he handed over to the military headquarters took effect, all in order to prevent the winter raid of the kingdom army.
