Chapter 40 Military Rations and Garrisons

After the two armies converged, they marched together across the border between the Duchy of Luxon and the Kingdom of Gaul and entered a new theater of operations.

In terms of marching speed, Ouyang Yu's army, which is already motorized, is naturally stronger than the coalition army that still relies on walking on two feet, but for the sake of the harmonious relationship between the two armies, Ouyang Yu ordered all the soldiers to get out of the car and walk, and the right to practice the long-distance march, the empty truck was loaded with the supplies and ammunition pulled by the coalition army's horse-drawn carriage.

But even such an unexpected accident that Ouyang Yu could not have imagined still happened, when the coalition soldiers were resting and eating at night, the coalition soldiers were eating dry and hard black bread, drinking vegetable soup without much taste, watching the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army gulp down white bread, chicken and beef, drink fragrant coffee or thick soup, and then come a piece of sweet chocolate or sweet candy after the meal, and the atmosphere of dissatisfaction permeated the coalition soldiers.

They are all soldiers who will lose their lives at any time when they carry guns to fight, and the treatment of the regular army is not as good as that of the mercenary group, which makes the coalition soldiers who have always looked down on the mercenaries feel very faceless, this matter has caused trouble to Brigadier General Louis, Brigadier General Louis can't cry or laugh after inquiring, the millions of soldiers of the entire coalition army are like this, even if it is the Imperial Army, the food eaten by other mercenary groups is the same, only Ouyang Yu's soldiers eat super well, Brigadier General Louis He is just a little more sausage than ordinary soldiers in field conditions。

For this reason, Brigadier General Louis found Ouyang Yu to negotiate with her, Ouyang Yu couldn't cry or laugh after hearing it, it was impossible not to eat delicious food because of other people's jealousy, but to eat unpalatable things.

In fact, it is very simple to resolve the injustice of the coalition soldiers, everyone eats the same, and selling military rations is also a good deal compared to selling arms, so Ouyang Yu immediately changed from a soldier to a profiteer, and began to sell military rations.

A piece of US military ration system that can be eaten for a day is sold for 0.02 silver coins, and Ouyang Yu directly increased it to 0.05 silver coins, that is, five copper coins, and promised Brigadier General Louis a rebate of one military ration and one copper coin, Brigadier General Louis immediately took out a sum of money from the military funds and bought enough military rations for 20,000 soldiers to eat for a month.

When the soldiers of the coalition army also ate the same food as the soldiers of Ouyang Yu's army the next night, the dissatisfaction disappeared instantly, and the morale also rose a lot, Brigadier General Louis was also very happy to count the money, a soldier's monthly food expenses are one silver coin and fifty copper coins, and his rebate is fifteen copper coins, and the total number of rebates he can get for 20,000 soldiers is three thousand silver coins, which is six times higher than the monthly salary of Brigadier General Louis of five hundred silver coins.

Ouyang Yu is also very happy, because she has found a way to make a fortune, military food is a large-scale consumable, arms will not be consumed when there is no war, and military food will be consumed every day, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, not to mention the rest, even if she can contract the food supply of 200,000 coalition soldiers in the Principality of Luxon Theater, she will make a lot of money every month, more profitable than selling arms, and it is better than stability, and it is also double the profit after a little bit up and down, she has asked Brigadier General Louis to write a letter of recommendation to Lieutenant General Benjamin, recommending Ouyang Yu to contract the supply of military rations for the Duchy of Luxon in the future, which also sent samples and prices of military rations, I believe there will be a reply soon.

After several days of marching, the allied Lucerne army and Ouyang Yu's army, which were well fed and drunk and had high morale, finally reached the front line of the Garonne River.

The Garonne River is an ordinary river in the Gallic Kingdom, the Gallic coalition army of 600,000 people who have been defeated in successive battles, with the help of the Garonne River, finally temporarily blocked the attack of 400,000 wolf-like imperial troops, and got a chance to breathe, and the Gallic coalition army used the Garonne River to urgently build a defensive line to block several large-scale attacks of the imperial army.

Although the Imperial Army had won a series of battles some time ago, it was exhausted by the time it attacked the Garonne River, and had to stop to rest and replenish ammunition after several attacks.

The commander of the Fifth Front of the Imperial Army, the Grand Duke of the Phoenix Empire, and the Grand Duke Philip, who has royal blood, are chatting with the princess of the Imperial (9) Ronnie Moon Victor, under the protection of many guards, to the front line to chat about the latest battle situation. (Welcome to the group of friends Dragon (9) Lori debut)

"Roni, I heard that you are not going well in the Duchy of Lucerne, what is going on there?"

Grand Duke Philip is in his fifties this year, with the rank of general, gray hair, but his body is still very good, wearing a black imperial army uniform, with a straight waist, and he speaks and acts in a military style.

The ninth princess Roni has just turned twenty-one years old this year, with the rank of lieutenant general, unmarried but with countless suitors, she has had amazing military talent since she was a child, black wavy shawl curly hair, brown and black eyes, one meter six or eight tall, well-proportioned, Oupai tightens her straight military uniform, looks very quiet, she is still unmarried as a woman in the Phoenix Empire military circles is a legend, many soldiers admire this beautiful princess Her Royal Highness, the black military uniform is draped with a red gold-rimmed cape, it is like a beautiful girl who came out of the comics。 (At the request of the vast number of undisciplined book friends in the book friend group, the Nine Emperors became the Nine Princesses.) )

"Uncle Huang. "Grand Duke Philip is a generation higher than the ninth princess Roni, so I call him the imperial uncle," Uncle Huang, the coalition forces on the side of the Duchy of Lucerne have recently invented a new geotechnical tactic, which has greatly increased their defensive capabilities, even if a position is bombarded with cannons for half an hour, they can't completely kill the coalition soldiers, and every time the shelling stops, they are like unkillable rats out of the ground, and a new weapon that does not use magic crystals at all has also been used by the Lucerne coalition army in large quantities, the power of that new weapon is very powerful, and combined with the new geotechnical tactics, it has caused a lot of casualties to my Ninth Front。 ”

"Is there such a thing?" Grand Duke Philip looked at the ninth princess Roni in slight surprise, but from her beautiful face, Grand Duke Philip did not see any joke.

"It's true, I've already reported this matter to the High Command. ”

"Have you ever captured a sample of the enemy's new weapon?"

"It's a pity, because the enemy has been on the defensive, and they can't get that kind of weapon for the time being. ”

"It's a pity, okay, let's not talk about that, now that the enemy has laid a defensive line on the Garonne River, do you have any way to break through?"

The Ninth Princess Ronnie thought for a while, and then replied: "Maybe we can try the new weapons sent to us by the Command, I remember that there is such a paragraph in the tactical manual sent with the new weapons, which can be used to hit the morale of the enemy, cut off or harass the enemy's logistics supply lines, and can also be used to attack the enemy's material storage center located deep in the rear. Cities and factories, my suggestion is to use new weapons to harass the enemy's supply lines, destroy the storage center, and then strike at the enemy's city to create panic, force the enemy to retreat or fight a decisive battle with our army, even if the first two situations do not occur, it can greatly reduce the morale of the enemy soldiers, and it will be much easier for us to attack again, what do you think?"

Grand Duke Philip thought about it for a while, and felt that it was feasible, even if he failed, there would not be much loss, "Okay, just do what you think." ”

Ouyang Yu in the Gallic Allied Headquarters behind the Garonne River wore the blue military uniform of the Allied Army, and followed Brigadier General Louis to report to General Louis Jean Bonaparte, the commander-in-chief of the Gallic Allied Forces.

The Bonaparte family is a branch of the Bourbon royal family of the Gallic Kingdom, with noble blood, General Louis Jean Bonaparte is also the uncle of the current Bourbon Dynasty, the current King of the Gallic Kingdom, Bourbon II, the duke, in charge of the entire army of the entire Gaul Dynasty, Admiral Bonaparte, who is almost seventy years old, is not smiling, and is full of might.

Admiral Bonaparte put down Lieutenant General Benjamin's letter and threw it on the table casually, his face was very ugly, Lieutenant General Benjamin of the Principality of Luxon Coalition Army was theoretically a subordinate of his Gallic Kingdom Coalition Army, and the order sent to Lieutenant General Benjamin stated that as many reinforcements should be sent, but Lieutenant General Benjamin only sent Brigadier General Louis and Ouyang Yu over, the total number of soldiers was 22,200, which was too far from the 100,000 soldiers that Admiral Bonaparte wanted, and it was no wonder that he would have a good face now.

"I'll not talk about the 20,000 regular troops, what's the matter with these 2,200 mercenaries? Are all the soldiers of your Duchy of Lucerne dead?

Admiral Bonaparte banged on the table and said in a very excited tone, and after speaking, he glanced at Ouyang Yu with contemptuous eyes, Ouyang Yu, who was still dressed as a man and had a mustache, couldn't hide her beauty, in Admiral Bonaparte's opinion, she was Lieutenant General Benjamin's prostitute boy, and organized a group of garbage-like mercenaries to come to the front line to gild.

There are many aristocrats in the other world who like male style, and Ouyang Yu likes many people now, so it's no wonder that Bonaparte has such thoughts.

Admiral Bonaparte, who was unhappy, was also unhappy with the arrangement of Ouyang Yu and Brigadier General Louis, and said to the adjutant beside him: "Draft an order to order the coalition forces of the Duchy of Lucerne to garrison the town of Kodor." ”

The adjutant was about to say something, but was glared back by Admiral Bonaparte with stern eyes, and the adjutant wrote the order and handed it to Brigadier General Louis.

"From now on, you are stationed in the town of Kodor, and you are not allowed to retreat without an order from the headquarters!" Admiral Bonaparte said to Brigadier General Louis in a stern tone, as for Ouyang Yu, he didn't even want to look at it.

Leaving Admiral Bonaparte's office, Brigadier General Louis showed a wry smile to Ouyang Yu, "Miss Ouyang has troubled you." After speaking, he looked at the precautionary order in his hand, "It seems that this Kodor town is not a good place." ”

"No, it seems to me that this is a place where merit can be done, and we should be grateful to His Excellency the Admiral. ”

Ouyang Yu's tone was very relaxed, and the most dangerous place for her was often accompanied by a large number of merit points.

"Hehe, you're optimistic, let's go. ”

When night fell, the coalition forces of the Duchy of Lucerne and Ouyang Yu's army came to the forefront of the Gallic Kingdom and the Imperial Army together.
