Chapter 121:-for-tat
However, it is not yet the time to set off for the new army barracks under construction near the R&D center and let them meet their subordinates, Xia Lin still has a guest to wait for this morning, that is, the inspector sent by the northern military.
Through the influence of the princess, the alliance ordered the Grand Duke of the North to contribute 2,000 gold lundes, and agreed to give them the name of establishing a new army, so it was naturally impossible for the northern military to just ignore the army under their name.
Whether it is to supervise the expenditure of 2,000 gold lund, or to check the training methods of the new army, the application prospects of new weapons, and whether the new army can be as effective as the princess said, the northern military must send someone to take a good look.
Xia Lin first let Viscount Hart and his party get on the river boat in the industrial park, and he was waiting for the visitors by the cold and windy dock.
Finally, after about half an hour, the tall ship with the wingless dragon logo of the Northern Military painted on the bow slowly approached the dock, and Xia Lin saw the sign and made people ready to greet it.
After the ship approached, he saw a figure standing on the bow of the boat, seeing the appearance of that figure, Xia Lin showed a somewhat surprised look on his face, the man also saw Xia Lin, but he didn't react much.
"Winter!" With a bang, the ships of the Northern Military lowered a gangway made of wooden planks, and the inspectors of the Northern Military immediately appeared at the mouth of the gangway.
He had a long, narrow shoehorn face with a gloomy hooked nose, a thick black burqa, a tall triangular military cap, and three retinues dressed similarly to him on crutches.
"Mainze Orenfar, the Viscount of Orenfar, these three are my retinue."
Seeing Xia Lin and his entourage who had come to greet them, Ma Ince introduced it succinctly.
"Welcome! Viscount Mainze! I'm Charin Carr, and you should have some impressions of me!"
Xia Lin smiled and said to Ma Yinze, this sentence made his face show a slightly surprised and thoughtful look.
"Charlem Carr...... It is indeed a very impressive name...... I see, are you the sergeant who broke the contract half a year ago?"
After thinking about it carefully, Viscount Maynzer finally remembered where he had seen Xia Lin, and said with some surprise.
Xia Lin's relationship with him was in the imperial capital of the northern military, and he was the person responsible for terminating the contract for Xia Lin at that time.
Unexpectedly, this time the northern military sent him over to serve as an inspector of the new army, and he was able to meet this little mage who had a relationship with each other, and it seems that the little mage at the beginning has grown to a considerable height.
"That's right, it was me that day, thanks to Viscount Mainze's help in breaking the contract for me, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here today."
Xia Lin said with sincere gratitude. At that time, he was still a little mage who was not worth mentioning, although this Viscount of Mainze did not give himself much help, but at that time, not making trouble was the greatest help to Xia Lin.
"No, I didn't help you anything, the sergeant pays fifteen gold lunt to be able to cancel the sergeant's contract It is a rule set by the military, since it is a rule, you need to abide by it, I didn't help you anything!"
Although Viscount Ma Yinze was a little surprised, he did not have the will to continue to talk with Xia Lin, a sergeant who had only one side of the relationship, and after coldly replying to Xia Lin, he continued:
"Please ask Master Xia Lin to take me to the New Army's barracks! I want to start my inspections as soon as possible to make sure that every one of our copper bis is in place."
"Then please get on this ship, our new army is still some distance from here, and the new army has only just begun to be established, so Viscount Mainze doesn't need to be in such a hurry."
Xia Lin only sighed at the wonder of fate, and by the way to see if he could have a good relationship with this inspector, and seeing that Viscount Ma Yin Ze looked like he was very important about his work, he put down these thoughts and took Viscount Ma Yin Ze and his entourage on the river boat in the industrial park.
Upon arriving at the station, which was under construction, Charin arranged for Viscount Maynzer and Darius Eugene
Logistics officers go to receive the logistics documents of the Forces nouvelles, check the relevant accounts and prepare for the recruitment of recruits in the slums.
He went to the spacious playground in the camp with Viscount Hart and the three newly appointed commanders of the New Army, and got to know each other with the twenty members he had selected from the industrial park security team for training.
It can be seen that despite receiving a period of training, there is still a huge gap between the members of the security team and the three big knights who have received military training since childhood, and there is not much change in their mental outlook, physique, and will.
Seeing the members of the security team who were barely standing in two columns, the three senior officers of the New Army frowned.
"Rest! Stand up!"
Xia Lin didn't look very well at this group of guys, the two orders were given, and the movements of the two rows of people were loose and untidy, and he frowned when he saw it.
Recently, he was too busy to pay attention to the training of these New Army cadres, so he gave a copy of the "New Army Infantry Drill Book" that he had compiled and handed it to the literacy teachers and Cook to train themselves.
Now it seems that it did not do much except to make them know a little more words, to write down some of the rules of the code, and to familiarize themselves with the use of muskets and artillery.
"Your Excellency Xia Lin, are you sure that our subordinates will be these people in the future? If I go into battle with this group, I'm going to worry about my back."
After a brief review of the future backbone of the new army, Fatlan Lawrence said with a nonchalant expression.
Hearing his words, Cook Darnell, who was in charge of training the security team members, suddenly showed a slightly unconvinced look on his face, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.
Cook Darnell was a man from the slums, who was selected for military service at the age of fifteen, and after five years in the army, he returned to the slums, only to find himself alone.
Then because of some coincidences, he became the captain of the security team of Xinglan Industrial Park.
During this time, Cook had been learning to write and training his men according to the requirements of the "New Army Infantry Drill Code", he thought that he had put in a lot of effort, but looking at these security guards who did not look like soldiers at all, he also knew that he had failed Xia Lin's expectations of him.
"Battalion Commander Fatlan, I don't think these guys are really qualified military commanders right now, but they have only received a few months of security training and less than half a month of military training.
To be able to reach this level, I think it's a testament to the amount of sweat and effort they put in."
Although he was not satisfied with the results of his training, Xia Lin also knew that time was limited after all, and he couldn't force too much, so he helped Cook and these security guards say some good things.
"But their opponents are all knights who have been trained since childhood, and each of them is highly skilled in martial arts, and can easily shave their heads in the charge, and their sweat and effort are not more than one-tenth of those knights.
I don't think they can meet the requirements of a new army against knights of the same size, no matter how much they train! They are not qualified officers at all! Not even a good soldier!"
Faltran shook his head in rejection, looking pessimistic about the future of the Forces nouvelles.
"Really? Although they are not qualified officers yet, I am confident that I will train them to become qualified officers in the next training, just like you are training."
Although there is some truth in what Fatlan said, Xia Lin is very unimpressed by Fatlan's chivalricism.
The purpose of the formation of the new army was to allow soldiers who had undergone short-term training to gain the strength to fight against the knights, and the results had not yet come out, so why did he deny these at this time? Don't look down on the new army?
There was a little disgust in his heart, and Xia Lin's words couldn't help but carry some sarcasm.
"Master Xia Lin, what do you mean by that?"
Fatlan naturally heard the irony in Xia Lin's words, and immediately asked with a cold face.
"My simple point is that these officers don't talk about it
but you, Your Excellency Fatlan, are the same, and you are far from being a qualified officer of the Forces nouvelles."
Xia Lin sneered in his heart, and explained his meaning bluntly.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder on the playground was getting stronger and stronger, Viscount Hart on the side only frowned and didn't say anything, Xia Lin knew in his heart that this Fatlan Lawrence was probably the touchstone for testing his own quality.
