Chapter 5: Leopold's Excitement

Thinking so in his heart, the corners of the young general's mouth turned up, revealing a pleasant smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yes, this is the guy who was defeated by William before, a long, long time ago, even William can't remember - of course, it wasn't too important to William. Or to put it more cruelly, the Visigoth, named Leopold, was not an important character in William's eyes at all.

Although the Cheka agents were professional, they presented close to all the information about this guy in detail. But William wasn't interested at all, just looked at it casually, and then left it alone.

For William, it doesn't matter who the enemy is or who he is, a small role is a small role, and a small role should have the consciousness of a small role and the attitude of a small role, as if it were the current situation, a small role like Leopold should play a poor supporting role and a harlequin who will immediately turn into powder as soon as the heavenly soldier arrives.

Of course, Leopold himself didn't think so—and perhaps neither did the Visigothic Expeditionary Force, which he commanded three legions. They think they're doing something really great, and they even feel like the whole world is watching them, that they're about to make history, that they're about to be the greatest person in the world -- or at least one of the greatest.

If William had thought a little, a little and recalled, perhaps he would have been able to find some stale information from the corners of his memory that his brain cells thought was "useless, so it should be cleaned up". That was the war that had been fought ten years earlier - the war to suppress the uprising in the New World. He was hired to lead an army of the White Legion, fighting alongside the Britons and eventually defeating them.

In that war, though nominally, it was the Bretons against the rebels of the New World. But in the universally recognized war, the protagonists of this war are the allies of these two armies.

The allies of the rebels in the New World are the poor characters who hoped to fight the Britons and then achieve hegemony, and now their bones are rotten. That pathetic tyrant Louis XVI.

This guy smashed the pot and sold iron to form an expeditionary force. He also pulled up the guy who was in the same dynasty as him, although it was somewhat inconspicuous, but barely an ally, that is, the Kingdom of Asturias.

They formed expeditionary forces of several legions.

On the other side, the main force of the other army was naturally the White Army led by Wilhelm von Hereford.

Both sides are in full swing in a war that does not actually belong to them. In the end, Wilhelm was victorious, and the war provided William with enough fame and a new and first colony, which is now the Empire's most important overseas cotton production base, Neugoth.

As William continued to become famous, William's position in world politics became more and more important, and the war became more widely spread with William.

For this war, the commanders who commanded these armies - of course, the most important one was Wilhelm von Hereford. People study, and then study, and then study, and then study--

However, even if it is studied in this way, the object of people's research is still only on the upper-level figures, that is, commanders like William, or bigwigs like Victoria, small people and small characters like Leopold will be brushed aside many times, and even have no chance to pass them off, and they will be ignored directly.

However.

For himself, things were completely different.

For Leopold, that war, that battle. At the same time, it is also a new war, a war in which I participated for the first time, a defeat and a lesson, all of which are unforgettable.

In the **** night and night in the prisoner of war camp of the White Army, the unfair treatment encountered after being released and returned to China, the cold eyes and all kinds of messy difficulties, and even despair for a while......

For William, it was just a trivial matter. But for Leopold, it was an unforgettable, important experience that could be remembered for a lifetime, even in death.

It was that kind of experience that shaped me now, and taught me a lesson that I was just a young man at the time, and I didn't have enough amazing stupid guys. That's how I am today. In a sense, I should even thank my enemy, the one who seems to be in the ascendancy of the day, the best, the most feared, and the most famous ruler in the world.

It was this guy who shaped me now and gave me a lot of lessons and experiences. It was only after the fall that I was able to achieve what I am today by studying, by constantly learning from the best generals and commanders in the world. ”

Having set foot on the land of Silosis, the guy named Leopold thought so in his heart, and his heart was full of excitement and emotion at the same time. It feels like this guy is even a little bit of a villain.

"That emperor must not have imagined that before this, a small person he didn't care about at all would eventually bring about his death!!!

He thought so in his heart. Very pleasant, very, very pleasant—as if William had thought, planned, judged and thought before this, and so did this Mr. Leopold.

Seeing this as the weakness of the Russian Gothic Empire, after the capture of Silosis, the situation of the entire Russian Gothic Empire will change in an instant. Wars and rebellions will greatly weaken the Empire's national power. And the end result must have been the collapse of a powerful empire called the Russian Gothic Empire.

"I am the one who caused all this, and I will destroy that man's empire! And at the same time as the destruction of this ugly empire, a new empire will rise from his ruins!

His heart was surging: "It's like Alexander the Great!"

It's like a great hero who looks weak, not an opponent in terms of territorial area, number of troops, and economic strength, but with his own ability, he defeats the enemy!

Yes, that's it, the emperor of the Russian Gothic Empire, in his projections, was Darius III. It's also very great, it's just as powerful and it's very good, but it's destined that this guy can only be a foil to a greater, better person - and that person is himself!

Thinking of this, Leopold couldn't help but almost couldn't help but want to laugh out loud "ahahahaha". But he endured.

Such casual laughter was of no use except to degrade one's own style and taste, and to make the generals, officers, and soldiers under his command think that he was a strange psychopath. Well, yes, that's it.

It's different if it's a guy with enough fame like William, no matter what this guy does, because of his great prestige and unprecedented achievements, people will think that this guy is doing the right thing, and this guy is doing something very meaningful.

But for Leopold it was a different story.

In fact, the fact that this guy was able to get such an important post as commander-in-chief of the expeditionary forces is not very related to his own abilities.

The reason for this was first of all that the Revolution purged the vast majority of qualified officers - because the Visigoths were a typical feudal kingdom, and almost all the officials and officers were held by nobles, large and small. So, after the Revolution, the revolutionaries were surprised to find that they could hardly find any suitable generals.

Of course, in a sense, they are not without a solution to this matter. Heroes are born in troubled times, so to speak, in continuous and fiery wars, a large number of officers will be promoted to high positions.

These guys are a little illiterate, vulgar and unliterate, although they have rich experience in warfare, but because of their background, they are usually just a low-level officer, a weak chicken at the level of a petty officer.

Guys like this, thanks to the Great Revolution, have soared to prominence.

In the campaign against the aristocracy, against the high-ranking generals, in the cleansing of the *** elements from the revolutionaries, there were a large number of vacancies in the army, and a large number of junior officers had to be activated.

Those guys who couldn't see any expectations at all, and one day counted as a day, suddenly became bullish. The official was promoted to three levels or something, which is quite light, it seems that Leopold has risen from a small major to a general in one breath, and it is actually not nothing.

These guys, with their ability to command with two knives, combined with the high morale of the revolutionary army and the strength of many times more than the enemy's army, have also won some wars. And with these large-scale, group-commanding combat experience, these guys have become even more difficult to entangle.

It can be said that the guys who started by brushing people, although in the long run, did weaken the competitiveness of the Visigothic Kingdom, but at least for now, they have a fairly good group of officers, at least with enough practical experience.

Although these guys are more or less congenitally deficient. However, the result of an eclectic reduction is in any case much better than a promotion within the small circle of the nobility, which follows a strict hierarchy.

"However, I just don't know if this guy named Leopold, who got up because of this, has real talent to learn. ”

On the train to Nesia, William thought to himself. (To be continued.) )
