Chapter 147: Two-Week Plan
After arranging and dealing with the things that had accumulated during this period of time in the research institute, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, but Xia Lin immediately took advantage of the night to go to the new army barracks, preparing to advance the training progress of the recruits.
Emperor Plit's physical condition and the faintly revealed intention to establish a prince really did not allow Xia Lin to continue to prepare leisurely and slowly in such a major matter of life and death.
In the event of Emperor Prit's death, it can be inferred from his previous remarks that Charin was very suspicious that his deathbed edict would pass the throne to Prince Fairmode.
Under such circumstances, mastering a reliable military force as soon as possible to deal with all possible situations is the most important thing for him, the deputy commander of the new army, at present.
Originally, Xia Lin was going to conduct a month-long queue of military posture, physical training, and cultural knowledge learning, and then start military skills training after laying a solid foundation of physical fitness and cultural knowledge for these recruits.
But now it seems that the training program, especially in military skills, must be accelerated.
To this end, Xia Lin used the training plan in the original "New Army Infantry Drill Code" as a template, and simplified a "two-week training plan", in which there were a total of four items in the military skills training plan.
The first is the most critical rifle shooting event, the second is the grenade throwing event, the fourth is tactical training, and the fifth is artillery operation training set up only for the 1st Artillery Company.
There is nothing to say about the first two items, and in the fourth tactical training, Xia Lin will conduct street combat tactical training for recruits according to the terrain conditions of Helgana and Longmian Palace.
These include items such as wall climbing, the option to set up a concealed fire point, cover in tight spaces, the grenade sweep app, explosive pack blasting, and close quarters against knights and mages.
Street fighting is completely different from the field environment, and the two sides shuttle forward in shelter, and it is easy for a sudden encounter to occur, which is a relatively unfavorable environment for the soldiers of the new army who rely on range to fight.
In such encounters, knights in armor armed with cold weapons could easily break into formation and inflict great damage on rifle-wielding New Army soldiers.
On the other hand, the Novaya soldiers, armed with rifles and grenades, also had some unique advantages, as knights were unable to mount their mounts to launch threatening group charges in street fighting environments, and they were unable to wear large fully enclosed helmets for visibility, making their protection weak.
Moreover, at close range within 30 meters, the power of the Type 2 rifle is enough to penetrate 4 thick fine knight plate armor, and the power of the black powder grenade can be maximized in a small indoor or street environment, even low-level enchanted armor cannot stop the grenade explosion at very close range.
In this case, the gap between the two sides is not as big as imagined. The only people who pose a great threat to the new army are the Grand Knights or even the Silver Knights in Mithril or Adamantite armor.
They are equivalent to a humanoid tank with comparable defense and lethality in street fighting, but the flexibility and speed are several times higher than that of the tank, although the power of the 80 breech guns is enough to kill them, but the first artillery company only has nine guns, and it cannot even do covered shelling, so the threat to them is really limited.
The machine gun, which is an extremely useful weapon to block the roadway, due to the shortage of manpower and the supply of ammunition, the research and development force of the gun factory headed by Master Faun has not been successfully lit up for the time being.
In this regard, Xia Lin's solution is to call the knights of the palace guard and the mages of the royal magic guard to compete with them, the palace guards are supported by the royal family, well-equipped, and outstanding, the average is the big knight, and the few captains are at the level of silver knights.
The strength of the mages of the Royal Magic Guard is even more than the average of the three rings, and with them, the new army will not be able to compete with the enemy in terms of high-end combat power.
However, the premise of all this is that the new army can control the important nodes in and around the Longmian Palace in time when something happens, providing an opportunity for the enlightened faction.
When he came to the New Army garrison, because Viscount Hart was a multi-tasker and was not in the garrison all the year round, Xia Lin called a few sentries who were in charge of standing guard to inform Laiyin, Kishuan, Fatlan and Daliou
Si, to the logistics building of the Forces nouvelles garrison for a meeting.
It is said that it is a logistics building, due to limited time, it is just a two-story low building quickly built with a brick and wood structure, and the second floor is the office of these senior officers.
In the back row of equally humble houses were the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Treasury of the New Army, which stored all kinds of military supplies, which were usually managed by Darius and his thirty quartermasters, and at night, this was also the most heavily patrolled place in the New Army garrison.
"Report to the Deputy Head of Mission! The Commanders have arrived!"
Although it was the middle of the night, most of the senior officers of the New Army had not yet slept, and soon a sentry who was temporarily serving as an orderly knocked on the door, opened the door and reported to Xia Lin.
"Well, please let them in!"
When several people walked into Xia Lin's office and his dormitory in the military camp one after another, Xia Lin was busy manipulating the mage's hand to hang a large blackboard on the wall behind him, and when he looked back and saw them, Xia Lin greeted first:
"Sit down first! The meeting will begin immediately!"
The four of them looked at each other for a while, and then sat down on the chair in a good manner.
When Xia Lin hung up the big blackboard, he turned back to the four of them and said:
"I know you're curious about why I'm calling you over so late today, and now I can tell you why.
This morning I went to the Longmian Palace and was summoned by His Majesty Pulit.
Although it was an honour for me to be summoned to this meeting, it was unfortunate that in this meeting with His Majesty Pullett I found that his health may have deteriorated to a considerable extent.
And judging from some indications, His Majesty Pulit is indeed intent on appointing Prince Fairmode as the crown prince, as the previous Viscount Hart said.
Therefore, Commanders of the New Army, there is a good chance that our time is running out!"
"Deputy Head Xia Lin, what do you mean?"
Seeing Xia Lin's heavy and serious expression, Ji Xiu'an's eyes widened in shock.
"That's right, I mean, we need to speed up the training of the Forces nouvelles and try to have our own strength when chaos comes.
To this end, I have come up with a plan for two weeks of intense training, which is simply called the "two-week plan"!
The expected goal of this plan is to allow the recruits to master the use of two new weapons within a week, initially form combat effectiveness, conduct street combat tactical training in the second week, and hold another exercise to check the relevant results!
Oh, by the way, it's seven days a week, so you can take a look at the plan!"
As he spoke, Xia Lin handed out the plan in his hand to the four of them, and they immediately began to look through them. The more they looked, the more solemn their expressions became.
