In addition to the garrison in Clarktown, each centurion in Sleeping Bear City was assigned a Golden Fist Red Flag, and of course, the roof of the Chief's Hall.

The flag in the Chief's Hall was installed by the horse sentry himself, who first nailed a wooden flag base to the roof, then inserted the flagpole into it and fastened it with rope.

As soon as the north wind blows, the golden-red flag flutters in the wind.

Looking at the fluttering flag, Ma Whistle couldn't help but smile, turned his head and said, "What do you think?" ”

"It's so pretty!" The little sparrow shouted happily, and most of the onlookers on the ground were smiling and discussing the new flag.

"This flag is so bright, I guess you can see it from afar."

"I don't think anyone will be mistaken for the Chief's Hall in the future."

"Can anyone else mistake the Hall of the Chiefs?"

"Why not, it's all wooden houses, and yesterday there was a Boni who used my house as a chief's hall......"

People were talking.

On a rainy day, he walked around the house and looked left and right: "I feel a little crooked." ”

"Is it crooked?" Ma Sentry was stunned, first looked at the red flag, then looked at the base, and did not see any skewed.

At least the flagpole is perpendicular to the roof, that's obvious.

He turned his head and asked, "You all see, is this flag crooked?" ”

Everyone looked left and right, and basically said that it was not crooked: "Not crooked!" ”

"That's just right, not biased at all."

"I think it's about the same."

"The big chief inserted it, how could it be crooked!"

The horse whistle jumped off the roof, clapped his hands, and then turned to look at the red flag.

As a result, looking at it now, he actually felt that the flag seemed to be really a little crooked, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Rainy day looked at his expression: "I'll just say, this flag is a little crooked." ”

Ma Whistle muttered, "It shouldn't be...... This pole is straight, and the base is also straight, why is it a little crooked when plugged in? ”

The two observed for a long time.

In the end, Ma Whistle nodded suddenly: "I understand, it's this house that is crooked!" ”

Although Sleeping Bear City is building a lot of buildings, the construction technology is not very good after all, and it is normal for the houses to deviate.

In fact, in Ma Sentinel's view, the current construction project is basically to let the people of the housing department brush up on experience, after all, the construction skills of the Indians are too meager.

It is almost impossible to say that there is no construction technology, after all, most Indian tribes in the Midwest, including the Apaches, live in tents.

The only people in the building department who had a lot of experience in construction were some people from outside the Apache, mainly Navajos, and a few white people hired from Clarktown.

Since the house is crooked, Ma Shen doesn't have to worry about it: "Let's do it first, wait two years, and we will rebuild a chief's hall with reinforced concrete." ”

"Reinforced concrete?" Didn't understand it on a rainy day.

Ma Whistle realized that there didn't seem to be reinforced concrete yet, and that he might need to invent it now: "I don't know if it's feasible to have a building material in mind. ”

He recalls the history of reinforced concrete.

He doesn't know exactly when reinforced concrete was invented, but it shouldn't be far from now, because Portland cement has now become popular in Europe.

However, he did know that the large-scale application of reinforced concrete in construction was a 20th century thing, especially after the invention of "prestressed reinforced concrete", which Ma Whistle was exposed to when he was studying mechanics.

There have been decades between invention and large-scale application, and I am afraid that there has been a lot of engineering and technical improvement.

Ma Whistle can naturally invent reinforced concrete, but whether he can apply reinforced concrete to construction in a short period of time, he is a little uncertain.

After all, he has only watched the construction process of reinforced concrete buildings a few times.

……

After attaching the Golden Fist Red Flag to the Chieftain's Hall, the Horse Sentry gathered the Sleeping Bear Army and distributed the flags to four in total.

Each of the three centurions has one side, and the one with the best results in the recent assessment will also have one.

"The fourth banner belongs to the best in the last assessment." The horse whistle looked at a man of outstanding stature, "Sleepy man." ”

"Here!" The sleepy man replied loudly.

Ma Sentry handed him the flag: "This golden fist red flag belongs to you, take it." ”

As he spoke, Ma Whistle was still thinking about a question in his mind - who was the sleepy man?

He was now almost certain that in the original history, the Sleepy Man should have been a person with a name and a surname.

After all, this kid's performance is indeed very unusual, he took the initiative to join the army when he stayed in Sleeping Bear City, and then became a chief in just a few months, and he also got the best results in the first assessment, which can be described as sharp.

The sleepy man is not only a talented warrior, but also a fast learner of written knowledge, and has a magical talent for chess and cards, and has been a game king.

As long as such a genius boy did not die early, it is unlikely that he will be unknown in history.

In fact, the Sleepy Man is clearly not unknown.

Ma Whistle was almost certain where he had seen the name in his previous life, but he couldn't remember anything.

Nine times out of ten, the name "Sleepy Man" is not really the name that Sleepy Man is really known for, he is famous all over the world by other names.

Moreover, Ma Sentinel knew almost nothing about the Indians in his previous life, and he couldn't sit down if he wanted to—his impression of the "Sleepy Man" seemed to be nothing more than a picture from a game.

Regardless, Sleepy Man is an undoubted teenage talent.

Therefore, Ma Whistle decided to cultivate him well.

After handing the red flag to the sleepy man, Ma Whistle patted him on the shoulder again: "I hope you have the ability to keep this red flag for another month." ”

"I'm going to keep it forever!" The sleepy man said confidently.

Ma Whistle smiled and looked at the other fighters: "The sleepy man said that he can always have this 'mobile red flag', are you convinced?" ”

"Not convinced!" The fighters shouted.

"If you are not convinced, you must train diligently!" The horse whistle paced a few steps and continued to shout, "Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime!" ”

After a pause, he continued: "Today, I will add some new training programs to you, in which you will use three people as the basic unit of action, and you will move forward in a scattered formation......"

As the power of guns continues to rise, the tactics of lining up to shoot or line up will be gradually eliminated, and the skirmish line will become the mainstream of warfare.

Naturally, the horse sentry should prepare in advance, so that the soldiers of the Sleeping Bear Army can understand the combat mode of the skirmisher era in advance.

By the time Apache's soldiers had mastered skirmisher tactics, he could dig graves for the line-up tactics when necessary, speeding up military history by twenty years or more.

He was perfectly capable of doing so, as long as he popularized the new rifle in the army and then went on a reckless rampage attacking the whites. Whites were bound to quickly imitate new weapons and abandon old tactics, and the era of skirmishers began.

Not only the skirmish line, but also trench warfare is about to appear on the stage of history, so the horse sentry will also train some trench warfare tactics in advance, and even the tactics of the strongest light infantry such as the three-three system and forcible penetration.
