The hot and humid weather is not friendly to everyone who lives here, especially those who have only recently arrived.

Holdane Kosenz walked out of his room, and the early morning sun made him feel a burst of heat, saying that the temperature in the tropics would be much cooler from November to February, but still not as comfortable as in the mainland.

During this period of high-intensity training, people still fainted from heat stroke from time to time. Not only did this frustrate Kosenz, but it also caused some other voices in the unit to think that the Dutch were already negotiating why they needed to maintain a high level of training.

Of course, all of them were a small group of soldiers from the lower ranks, and they were mainly soldiers who expanded in Borneo.

That's right, the 1st Guards Division is now fully manned, and the shelf regiment that was lacking before has now been filled with local garrisons, and Lieutenant Colonel Cosenz is the commander of this shelf regiment.

In terms of Kosenz's qualifications and military exploits, becoming the commander of the 1st Guards Division is already a huge progress. After all, he was transferred back to the Guards from the Marine Corps, and there were many seniors in the Guards who were more senior than him, if it weren't for the fact that many of them were unwilling to become the commander of the shelf regiment, how could he be on his turn.

So, Kosenz can be regarded as picking up a bargain.

Cosenz, who got cheap, is also very aware of his position among his colleagues, so he also cherishes this opportunity very much. It's time to give it all and impress the big guys.

Therefore, for these personnel drawn from the local garrison, it is even more strict training, trying to bring them to the same level as the Guards.

As for such a trivial matter as complaining, Kosenz did not take it to heart. It is strange that these garrisons, who were accustomed to being masters in the colonies, were put into the high-intensity training of the Guards at once, and there were no complaints.

As soon as Kosenz arrived at the regimental headquarters, he immediately saw his new deputy regiment commander waiting here.

"Major Liu, you came very early today, how is the training of the second battalion now?"

Major Liu in Cosenz's mouth, whose full name is Liu Chaoxian, was born in the Liu family of Lanfang, is the grandson of Liu Achang, and the future helm of the Liu family.

Although the Liu family is no longer as powerful as in the Lanfang era, as a representative figure who quickly moved closer to Italy, the colonial government still has to give some benefits. Although Liu Asheng has returned home to enjoy his old age, the Liu family has not been suppressed by the colonial government, but has become a representative figure of the local Chinese.

And the Liu family also knows how to see and hug the government's thighs, this is not the 1st Guards Division to transfer local garrisons to expand the troops, Liu Chaoxian, the future head of the Liu family, volunteered to become a member of the 1st Guards Division.

Of course, in addition to the Liu family, the local families of Lanfang have more or less sent their children to serve in the First Guards Division.

"How is the second battalion doing?"

Faced with the question of the chief officer Cosentz, Major Liu understood the look of the eyes very well, and immediately replied respectfully. "Commander, everything is fine with the second battalion at the moment, and all companies are training hard so that they can serve the kingdom in the future."

Hearing Liu Chaoxian's answer, Kosenz nodded in approval.

Although the combat effectiveness of the second battalion is at the bottom of the fourth regiment, this is because the battalion is basically mainly recruited. Children from major families in Borneo, as well as young people from other Chinese families, occupy 90% of the places in the second camp, which can be described as a veritable Chinese camp.

In fact, at first, Cosenz didn't understand this, why did he set up a Chinese battalion, did he really want the fourth regiment to really become the existence of a division at the bottom. It's just that he was impressed by the enthusiasm of these Chinese for training, and although they have only been training for a month, these Chinese have not complained about the same hardships as the officers and soldiers recruited from the garrison.

Moreover, the training is also very fruitful, although it has not yet met the requirements of the Guards, but the results are very good, and I believe that it will be less than half a year to reach the general level of the Guards.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Chinese were admonished before being recruited, and it is a good opportunity for the local Chinese to integrate into the Kingdom of Italy by being accepted by the 1st Guards Division this time. The local Chinese cherish this opportunity very much, so the Chinese recruited this time are the result of careful selection.

Cosenz's interrogation of the 2nd Battalion was just a routine inquiry, and the situation of the whole regiment was the focus of attention.

As soon as he arrived at the regimental headquarters, Kosenz issued orders one after another.

"Give an order to the fourth battalion, their armed marching speed is too poor, they are about to be caught up by the second battalion, let the Calgar battalion commander practice more armed marching, if he does not improve next month, I have reason to doubt his ability."

"Tell the 1st Battalion that the artillery regiment has accepted the request of our 4th Regiment, and they will send a company of artillery to conduct infantry artillery tactical drills with us to prepare the 1st Battalion."

"I asked the machine gun company to train last month, and I learned from the logistics officer that they had fired 7,000 rounds of ammunition, and asked them how they were doing, and I was going to check the results in two days, and if I was sorry for the 7,000 rounds of ammunition, I wanted them to be unable to eat and walk around."

Cosenz was constantly issuing orders at the regimental headquarters, and the five heralds in the regiment were almost not enough.

After finishing all this, Cosenz looked at the map in front of him and turned to Major Liu. "How about I want to organize a regimental exercise, and the location is not far from Wangye Mountain?"

Without waiting for Major Liu to answer, Kosenz spoke to himself. "The time is set for a month later, and we will comprehensively test the results of our training."

What can Liu Chaoxian, who is treated as air, do, can only choose to answer. "The head of the regiment is right, it can indeed be tested."

For Liu Chaoxian, he also knew that he could not convince the public to rush to the position of major and become the deputy head of the Fourth Regiment. The regimental commander, Lieutenant Colonel Kosentz, had already been calculated, and the middle-level officers of the other units spoke even more unpleasantly.

But he can't help it, who let his own family use too much force, and pushed him, who has only been out of military school for a few years, to such a high position. He could not refuse the family's intentions, and could only work hard to win the hearts of his colleagues and junior officers.

However, this is easier said than done, and in the army, they all speak with strength, and there is no opportunity to perform, so how can there be any reason to be impressive.

For this reason, he has thought more than once, you said that the Dutch ancestors have also been wide, why can't you be tough and let yourself earn some performance. Such a soft egg, how can it be worthy of occupying such a large piece of land in Nanyang, it is simply difficult to support the wall.

Well, Major Liu's resentment unfortunately could not affect the Dutch, so he could only reluctantly accept the reality.

Just as he was about to continue to deal with the chores of the regiment headquarters, there was a sudden commotion.

Someone shouted. "The Netherlands signed, and they agreed to transfer Borneo to the kingdom."

Although this news is not too shocking, it is definitely the most positive news for Italian Borneo.

didn't wait for Liu Chaoxian to ask, only to hear the sound of crackling firecrackers in the city, and some people in the city were setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

What else can be said about this, I can only be happy for the kingdom, and Liu Chaoxian, who is holding on to a smiling face, is annihilated in the crowd of joy.
