Chapter 369: Training, Troops, and Finances
When Feng Longde and the others rode to the training ground, it was just in time for the final training of the Boghall soldiers: these Boghall soldiers were engaged in combat training in the form of pikemen, riflemen and two-handed swordsmen, and only the Boghall pikemen and Boghall riflemen in the four phalanxes always maintained a complete queue, while the Boghall two-handed swordsmen armed with Teutonic two-handed swords were scattered into fifteen ten-man squads for dispatch.
"Old He, what are those Teutonic soldiers with two-handed swords doing?" Weisk asked the Bon Longde on the side, looking at the Boghall two-handed swordsmen who had barely been in the same place for more than half a minute.
"Train how to get to the position designated by the leader of the ten-man squad or company leader as quickly as possible, because they are used to maintain the gaps in the Boghall pikemen's line and the gaps between the phalanxes, and the Boghall riflemen also need them as the backbone when they are caught in hand-to-hand combat. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the Boghall two-handed swordsmen who were running around with a fan-shaped shield and a Teutonic two-handed sword not far away, and explained to his friends: "Their role in the Boghhall district team is to support other Boghall soldiers as strong infantry or to plug holes in the defensive line, and if necessary, they can also charge the enemy as an offensive force to tear their defensive line apart, so that the other main forces can enter the enemy line more quickly." ”
"How do you feel that your two-handed swordsmen are more defensive" Lilia felt a little dizzy when she looked at the Boghall two-handed swordsmen, mainly because these people rumbled on the ground as soon as they ran, which was not much smaller than the movement of the Boghall pikemen and Boghall riflemen who walked neatly, "By the way, Lao He, why do all the soldiers carry shields on their backs? It seems that whether they are pikemen, riflemen, or two-handed swordsmen, they don't seem to need shields, right?"
"It can be used when encountering the enemy's rain of arrows and hand-to-hand combat. In addition to the weapons they have in their hands now, they also carry a lot of other weapons on their bodies, and they are the ones who can use the most competent ones at any time in different situations. Feng Longde patiently explained to Lilia that Weisk and Richard didn't have any doubts, after all, the two of them had been exposed to games and historical materials in this area, and they could basically guess the reason for seeing the situation. And Lilia, who has a limited understanding of this aspect, needs a special explanation, "When fighting, if you have a shield in your hand, you have a far higher chance of survival than others who don't have this extra layer of cover, and the shield is also an offensive weapon - Lao Xie, do you see that the bottom of the fan-shaped shield they are carrying is very sharp?" That is deliberately made like this, and the bottom of the fan-shaped shield is all made of steel, which is convenient for the hand-held person to use it to smash in battle, with an armor-piercing effect, even if the armor can't be broken, it can break the phase, even if it can't break the phase, at least it can directly smash out the internal injuries. Renders the opponent incapacitated. ”
As soon as Feng Longde explained to Lilia and made her suddenly realize, Richard asked a new question: "Lao He, how did I find that these Teutonic soldiers of yours always have something that does not match the main painting style, such as German-style wooden-handled grenades, Mauser 98K rifles, Luger pistols and barge guns? How did you come up with the idea of equipping these soldiers with World War II weapons in an obvious medieval style?"
"I didn't think about equipping the Boghall soldiers and the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers with these, but at the beginning it was purely 100% original Teutonic Empire troops. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders at this, to be honest, he himself was sometimes deeply impressed by his own brain, "Didn't I tell you the situation very clearly? And the Führer is still a Penglai immortal, and I have already told you why. Yakumo Zi's good deeds did by the youkai who pretended to be tender for 10,000 years, causing Adolf and the last troops of the German Third Reich of nearly 300,000 to slip out of Gensokyo instead of South America or Antarctica seventy years ago, and as a result, there was an earth-shattering war with the monsters, and it seems that there is no time today, and tomorrow I will take you to the world, and you will find that the main ethnic groups of the human inhabitants in the world are Germanic and Japanese. There are all kinds of other nationalities, and there are even FFF regiments."
"Lao He, I don't know if it's our delusion, we always think that you have witnessed too many strange or strange things in the year you have been in Gensokyo?" Lilia asked as she looked at Feng Longde, who had a slightly crying and laughing expression. Although Feng Longde explained to everyone almost all of his experiences in the past year in those days, he really didn't hear how Feng Longde talked about the slightly more specific things, he said that it was too much and too miscellaneous, and he could only say some when the time was right.
"That's for sure, if you fall into Gensokyo in a daze, and see FFF Troupe, Abe Takazu, Billy Helrington, and Hatsune Miku all the way on the streets of the world, I guess it's okay if your brain doesn't crash on the spot. Feng Longde snorted, and at the same time he saw Zhu Henghong, who was commanding one of the Boghall pikemen companies to quickly change from a tight ordinary phalanx to a hollow ultra-long spear hollow phalanx, the latter had completely recovered from yesterday's appearance to the current state of a rigorous and competent company leader, that is, it is estimated that this body size will not be able to recover after a month of intensive training
As an iron-skinned corpse witch, Zhu Henghong was able to eat himself fat during the Spring Festival, Feng Longde deeply realized that if Zhu Henghong couldn't control his own mouth, God knows when he would turn into an abomination
"Uh, Lao He, I don't think it's easy for you to mix like this in Gensokyo, sincerely. Weisk patted Feng Longde on the shoulder sympathetically, and then began to frantically shake his hands, "Wow!!!Lao He!! why do you still have nails on your shoulder armor!!!"
"It's for hitting people, Lao Wei, you still dare to pat my shoulder with your hand, it's okay, it's not bleeding, it's just that the dermis is a little broken, and it hurts for a while at most." Feng Longde heard Weisk's throat and quickly looked back. I was relieved to find out that this kid was fine.
"I'll you, Lao He, you're armed to the teeth, are you going to hit people like a rugby player in a fight?" Weisk gasped, fortunately the skin on his right hand was broken and didn't even bleed, otherwise he would definitely have to clean the wound and let Feng Longde find a way to get a tetanus vaccine. If you get a wound from metal, if you get tetanus, it's a lot of fun.
"Possibly, if the weapon can't be pulled out of the corpse or is knocked down, I guess I'll have to fight hand-to-hand with my bare hands. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, the nails on his shoulder armor flashed with a chilling cold light, "Actually, it is Yarman who is really armed to the teeth, my captain of the guard: in addition to the fact that his shoulder armor is also densely covered with nails like mine, the black goat horn barrel helmet he wears can be used to make a hole with a pair of horn toppers on it, and the most exaggerated thing is that the steel boots he wears are very sharp." Just like the steel boots of the Gothic plate armor, the old men with steel thorns, you just think of how sour the person who was kicked in the crotch of the crotch if he raised his foot and kicked the crotch of the man in battle."
Weiske > Richard & Lilia: ""
I have to say that Feng Longde and his subordinates are all in a sense the same: although they are used to having a front and an anus when fighting, they are also used to mixing all kinds of tricks with yin damage, and once they are hit, it hurts enough to even imagine it
☆
For the rest of the afternoon. Von Rond and his friends visited almost the entire Teutonic camp, such as the various military factories, the various military facilities that had been completed and put into use, the barracks where the soldiers lived, and all the current residential areas of the Teutonic people. Of course, the latter two involved the privacy of the Teutonic soldiers and the Teutons, so they only rode around the camp and lodging area for a while, so as not to actually get into other people's rooms.
Incidentally, Feng Longde continued to learn about other aspects of the progress of affairs from the relevant person in charge and Caroline, either through soul contact or through face-to-face reports, such as the army's training issues and financial situation.
In terms of the army, the Boghall unit has only maintained a full district formation. But half of them are bloody veterans who have experienced the Volley of Nameless Hill, and there are more than a dozen veterans of corpse witches who have lived and died, so under their leadership, the recruits who were recruited for the second time among the Burghall soldiers were able to do it without any negative impact if they participated in the battle for the first time, even if they had not seen blood. As for the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, none of them have real swords and guns to fight with the enemy, so they can only say that they are well trained, but they will not make mistakes or other accidents when they go to the battlefield, they need to cooperate with the Guard Knights for the first time, and the latter is convenient to supervise their situation on the bloody battlefield at any time, once someone bombs the camp or other moths occur, they can be controlled as soon as possible, so as to have a chain reaction affecting other Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers and even other troopsThis is a problem that any army composed of pure recruit eggs needs to worry about.
In addition, the number of Teutonic artillerymen is enough to equip all the heavy weapons in the current Teutonic camp, and the operation is barely decent, but the problems to worry about are similar, who knows if these guys who are quite good at training will pee their pants if they really go to the battlefield, and then they will need to supervise the battle or let Caroline and the Lich Mage use psychic magic to stabilize morale and mood, at least don't let them shake and tilt the fire on their heads when they are nervous, then the fun will not be; and the military strength that the Teutonic camp now has is still an old problem, and it is impossible to recruit more soldiers from the human worldFor the time being, due to the frenzy of mass production and construction in the Teutonic camps, the employment problem that was originally stimulated by the overpopulation in the world in recent years has been greatly alleviated, so there are not too many idle people for them to recruit, and basically they all go to the Teutonic camps to apply for jobs as workers and mechanics or various other jobs that are now required in the Teutonic camps, that is, some fledgling young men can also be used as potential reservists, but it would be good to be able to piece together a Boghall company, at most when it is necessary to replenish the battle damage。
Military strength is currently one of Feng Longde's most worrying problems: in Gensokyo, individual and collective strength is the first priority for survival, judging from the overall strength of the current Teutonic camp, some monsters and goblins who are not particularly strong and perverted are barely rich internally, and externally they can also be crushed or won by the external human army that is not at the modern level, but once faced with those powerful big monsters or a large number of modern human armies, Feng Longde does not dare to imagine what will happen at that time
Therefore, the Teutonic camp has been investing most of its manpower and funds in technology development and equipment production until now, basically belonging to the state of semi-poor soldiers, if it were not for the current financial situation continues to improve steadily, it is estimated that the Teutonic camp would have gone bankrupt long ago, and there may be a large number of Teutonic soldiers to loot the world
Speaking of finances, the Teutonic camp's main source of income now is the sale of its own wool and magic crystals, especially the latter, which earns a lot of money from Marisa, Pacouli, Alice, and other rarely seen magicians, as well as a lot of additional magic materials and alchemy recipes, further enriching the technical knowledge of Caroline and the Lich Mage.
Mao Yurou can only be said to break even, and the income in this area is just enough to offset the cost and trade to the current food, meat and other materials needed for the construction of the Teutonic camp, and the sale of magic crystals is a veritable windfall profit: almost none of the magic envoys who study magic and alchemy all day long are poor ghosts who are short of money, and it is the same reason that they are poor and rich, so Marisa and other magic envoys are generous every time they go to the Teutonic camp to buy magic crystals, which is also the courage of the Teutonic camp to produce weapons and equipment on a large scale. The foundation for building camps and technical breakthroughs, otherwise, with the previous construction speed, it will take at least another four years to reach the current level
After completing the handling of various affairs through soul contact and meeting with the relevant person in charge, Feng Longde took his friends back to the King's Stables and dismounted, and then walked back to the headquarters fort to prepare for dinner. (To be continued.) )
