Chapter 9 is very bad
readx;? It was this radical difference in the philosophy of governance that caused the Russian Gothic Empire and the Ottoman Empire to treat the region of Nirosia in a completely different way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This is also one of the reasons for the alienation of the Nirosians, the central government of the Russian Gothic Empire.
Because anyone with a little bit of a brain can understand.
If the government of the Russian Gothic Empire were allowed to do so, then things would be bad, because then the basis for the revival of the Nirosian Empire would disappear without a trace. The Russian Gothic Empire would really control the territory. And not like in the Ottoman Empire. If something goes wrong with the Ottoman Empire, the national power declines, and the rule of Nirosia is not strong enough, Nirosia will be able to gain independence.
It's as if before that, what happened after the expeditionary forces of the Russian Gothic Empire defeated the main forces of the Ottoman Empire. It was at that time that the Nirosians took the opportunity to become independent.
If it weren't for the fact that the evil rulers of the Gothic Empire in Russia sent more equipment and troops to strangle the rule and independence of Nirosia without hesitation, then Nirosia would have become a de facto independent state.
It's just a pity. In view of the strength of the Russian Gothic Empire, it seemed that this day would never come—until the day came, when the Visigothic army, aboard a huge warship, looked imposing and claimed to have come to their rescue......
Although there is a little difference in faith between the two sides. But for the Nirosians, it's not too important, too big.
After all, there will be no other place for the infidels to end up than Hellfire. So if these guys want to maintain their stupid, idiotic beliefs or something, let them keep going. Anyway, for yourself, as long as you can use these guys to achieve your own goals, it's fine.
This is also what the vast majority of the Nerosian nobles are thinking at present.
It was in this situation that the Leopold General was very surprised, very strange, and of course very happy to find that his army had some of the best allies.
The local Nirosians, to be more precise, the nobles of Silosis, had an unimaginably good attitude towards the Visigothic Righteous Division. These guys joined General Leopold's army as if they had brought their own dry rations.
Although the vast majority of the guys are old-fashioned, they do not have the most normal and desirable weapons and equipment of the current era, that is, a flintlock pistol with a bayonet. But the combat effectiveness of these Mamluks is still very guaranteed. Using these guys as heavy cavalry is a very good addition to one's own army.
Having understood this, General Leopold began to assemble his own Mamluk cavalry regiment.
He even had the ambition to turn this army into his own private army - in fact, this was a very normal situation for the Mamluks. They themselves were the fighting slaves of a certain master. So they understand very well what loyalty is and what a master-slave relationship is. As long as they are given enough money and enough hospitality, these guys can abandon all morals and prejudices and concentrate on doing things for their masters.
This is simply the best choice for a careerist like Leopold - no, not to be called a careerist, but to be called an aspiring youth.
As Leopold said before, if William can do it, then he should be able to do it too. That is, to be the greatest person in the world or something.
It was during this time that this fellow, who might become great in the future, spent the happiest period of his life in Silosis. The local nobles of Nirosia, under the flattery of the local nobles, promised them various positions in the Republic of Nirosia, which might be established in the future, and then accepted their small souvenir gifts very happily. At the same time, play some games with these delightful, cute little girls from the region of Nirosia that are good for your physical and mental health.
Come to think of it, such a life is simply heavenly.
Well, it's actually heaven. Paradise, heaven, heaven.
Of course, while indulging in the paradise-like life of drunken money, General Leopold did not forget to get down to business, that is, to command his army to conquer the city.
Again, this was not too difficult for him, and for the expeditionary forces of the Visigothic Republic.
As long as they don't touch the Canal Zone, then they won't be subjected to too fierce resistance and struggle by the garrison troops of the Russian Gothic Empire.
As long as there was no fight against the regular army of the Russian Gothic Empire, then in fact, they were unimpeded in the region of Nirosia.
As I said before, the natives of Nirosia are very welcoming for these guys to "save" themselves. Wherever the Visigothic expeditionary forces arrived, the Nirosians would open the gates of the city with gongs and drums and let the soldiers in.
This model is not so much about conquering the city as it is about receiving.
In this way, General Leopold quickly occupied a large area of territory west of the Canal Zone in a short time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it "liberated" most of Nigeria.
Perhaps, after this, people can add the honorific title of "Liberator of Nia" when they call him?
Thinking of this, this general Leopold felt beautiful.
As he conquered the city, his army more than doubled. The Nirosians brought their own rations and formed three legions of troops. Although it is said that their weapons are outdated, their tactics are backward and cannot be put on the table. But look at their morale is not bad. Perhaps hand-to-hand combat would be useful.
General Leopold thought so to himself.
In addition to these "local forces" of the Nilesians, General Leopold also formed something even more exciting—the Mamluk Independent Brigade of Nigeria.
This is a cavalry brigade with considerable combat effectiveness, at least in the eyes of General Leopold.
Although there is a lack of adequate weaponry - not only the most advanced and modern cavalry equipment of today, that is, revolvers and carbines. Even if it is a little backward weapons and equipment, that is, cuirass armor, and steel knives that are good enough, there are no helmets of the kind.
The Mamluk cavalry, which dominated the Middle Ages, still maintained the level of medieval weaponry at this time.
Although it is said that in the Middle Ages, the era of cold weapons, the weapons and equipment of the Mamluk heavy cavalry were enough to deal with the vast majority of wars, and even said that they could dominate one side, which was enviable.
But for now, the crescent-style scimitar, coupled with heavy scale armor, spears and shields, is too much to ...... It's broken.
Well, yes, that's right, it's just a remnant.
On top of that, the level of training of these guys, as well as the tactical philosophy, are also very problematic. Still stuck in the Middle Ages, the ideas of these guys have not kept pace with the times. After a little conversation with a few Mamluk heavy cavalry, as well as a Mamluk officer, General Leopold understood the arrogance of these guys.
These guys still seem to think of themselves as the Mamluks they were back then, and they still think that they are the number one in the world, the strongest and best heavy cavalry unit in the world, as if as long as there are enough Mamluk heavy cavalry, then any enemy in this world is not a problem. With a little serious effort, you can get all those enemies to go to the streets, all of them to see their true gods or something.
If that's the case, General Leopold had a few options.
In order to "help the Nirosians and leave the clutches of the Empire", Leopold not only brought two legions here, but he also brought enough officers with him.
On the one hand, these officer corps were used as reserve officers to signal the auxiliary troops, and on the other hand, they were used to merrily form training regiments and teach these poor ignorant Nerosians what modern warfare was.
In this case, General Leopold did have enough cavalry officers and cavalry instructors to use. As long as these Mamluk cavalry were well trained and worked hard, then with their kung fu foundation, General Leopold believed that he could train a fairly good heavy cavalry force.
However, these guys are very blindly optimistic and very stubborn. The result of these guys believing that they are number one in the world is that these guys don't want to learn some modern, advanced cavalry tactics from the so-called cavalry instructors.
These guys only believed in their ancient tactics - of course, these tactics were somewhat exaggerated, and more importantly, these Mamluks won the war by virtue of their superiority in weapons and equipment, and their superb martial arts.
In a sense, the significance of these Mamluk cavalry was actually no different from that of the knights of the human nations of the Old World.
This is also the point that General Leopold finds the most headache.
There is no way, in order to have a group of teams that can be trusted as soon as possible, he can only pinch his nose and recognize the unruliness and stubbornness of these Mamluk cavalrymen, and hope that these guys can come back to their senses as soon as possible after being hit by a certain amount of reality, recognize the facts, and work hard for him.
Although, in reality, it's quite difficult.
