MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 503 Arrival and impersonation
Chapter 503 Arrives and Pretending
On January 25th, the year of the Holy Light, the first division of the Stone Corps and the 7th Division of the Second Division of the Overseas Autonomous Leadership Region arrived in Bailu City and were warmly welcomed by the temporary Wang Ting. However, although the atmosphere of the welcome was warm, the officers and men of the Meteorite Corps who came down from the ship were met by the senior officers of the Royal Army Department for the first time. The reason is very simple, because the new military uniform worn by the soldiers of the Rocks Corps is not the traditional red color of the Kingdom of Ovilas...
"This military uniform is really ugly, the same color..."
"Hey, look, they still have a wok on their heads, it’s like a tortoise shell..."
“Why do I think the style of this military uniform is very beautiful?”
"Although the military uniforms are quirky, these soldiers look very good..."
Watching the crowds staring at the soldiers gathered from the ocean shipping ship to gather their heads. Indeed, I used to see the color of the red military uniform, and the average person has a very rustic and inconspicuous feeling about the newly-changed brown-gray military uniform of the meteorite army. Several senior officers of the Army Department of the Kingdom directly questioned General Bolognik and General Beechklin, who had just disembarked.
"General, I am very surprised, why the color style of your overseas self-governing legions is different from that of our kingdom. Is this ready to stand out from the kingdom or want to be independent from the kingdom?"
General Bologna smiled mildly: "The overseas self-governing leader is the self-governing leader of the Kingdom of Ovilas. It is self-governing, not self-reliant. We still have to work for the kingdom, pay taxes, and fight against the enemy. The legions of the autonomous leading regions are only Belonging to the local garrison, you can decide the color style of the military uniform.
In fact, the real reason is very simple. The Kingdom has been unable to support overseas self-governing leaders for many years, and we have always lacked the red uniform fabric. The colonial war brought us countless casualties, forcing us to consider the substitutes of the red color military uniforms when rebuilding the army. Finally, we can only choose the cheapest and most popular fabric of brown gray to make military uniforms. ”
"Oh..." The senior officers immediately couldn’t speak. General Bologna admitted that the overseas self-governing body did not make fabrics for the red military uniforms, and there was no way to replace them with such unsightly brown-gray fabrics. This reason is very full. I can't let others go to the army without the red military uniform. Who told the kingdom that he has not supported the overseas self-governing support materials for so many years.
"Oh, nothing, the Rock Corps and the Thunder Legion are local garrisons of overseas self-governing bodies. They have the right to customize the color and style of their uniforms. There is no need to follow the rules and regulations of the regular army of the kingdom..." The high-ranking officials who attended the welcoming ceremony quickly came up to play the round field, and finally let the senior officers of the several army departments get off the stage.
The welcoming ceremony was very organized and measured, and the atmosphere was warm. Except for those who were very excited to express their welcome, the senior officers of the two sides who participated in the ceremony were tight-faced and did not talk to each other at most. Politely and slyly looked at each other. For the officers of the Stone Corps, they look down on the friendly forces who will only defeat the war and seek help. The senior officers of the Royal Army Department, but the officers of the Stone Corps, the arrogance of these soil buns, look at themselves with contemptuous eyes, it is just that.
The welcoming ceremony ended very quickly. It was nothing more than the generals of the two sides who came to the stage and inadvertently touted each other. They reiterated their confidence in the ultimate victory of this resistance war, strengthened the belief that our army will win, and encouraged morale. It’s almost over. The officers of the Meteorite Corps who disembarked the boat went to the campsite that had been prepared for a long time. They will take a short five or six days here to resume the hard work of the voyage in the second half of the month and set off for the front line.
General Bolognic and General Beechling went to the temporary station where Frederick I stayed the next morning to meet with His Majesty, and then quarreled with the Secretary of the Kingdom of the Kingdom at the military meeting hosted by His Majesty. The cause was that the Minister of the Kingdom’s Army recommended that the Rock Corps go to the second line of defense and strengthen the garrison force there.
However, Bologna refused this request. He requested to go to Ambalze County to deploy and re-establish a new defensive line to prevent the second defensive line from colliding with the enemy's superior forces and then crashing again, causing the enemy to drive straight into the enemy. At the same time, I wonder why I would not give up five countless local counties, insisting on using weak forces and enemies to die?
Therefore, General Bologna was attacked by the collective forces of Wang Tingli’s old aristocratic family. They believed that the land of the kingdom could not be easily abandoned, and the Stone Corps went to Anbrze County to be greedy and fearful of death, and wanted to hide behind the second line of defense to see the front line. The soldiers will fight to death, with ulterior motives...
General Beechklin joined the controversy. He only pointed out the fact that if all the current forces of the kingdom were ruined on the second line of defense for the land of these kingdoms, then the kingdom would no longer hope for a defeat. The Meteorite Corps was deployed in Anbrze County to give the kingdom of the second line of defense the opportunity to evacuate. After the deployment of the defense line is completed, the frontline kingdom army can retreat to the rear and re-edit, and the Rock Corps alone will face the attack of all the legions of the League of Nations in the Eastern Region...
Perhaps the big words of General Beechklin stunned the aristocratic senior officials on Wang Ting. Although they doubted the fighting power of the Stone Corps, they were reluctant to give up this opportunity for the Rocks Corps to suffer big losses. After private deliberation, he agreed to the proposal of General Bologna and General Beechling, let the Rock Corps go to the Anbrze County, and mobilize the people to help the Rock Corps set up and deploy various defensive positions. Only they let General Bologna and General Beechklin make a guarantee. If the Rock Corps can't hold on to Ambry County, then Wang Ting will deprive the independent self-governing region of its independent right to fight and command...
The overseas cruiser’s ocean-going cruise fleet was parked for five days in Bailu City, and finally all the supplies were unloaded, and immediately sailed back to the mainland of Nubbia. Next is the Thunder Army's three divisions, 120,000 Maden ships to the Floridian Seaport in the Principality of Rimondra, implementing the Crescent Moon Hook program, giving the Eastern Alliance a fatal blow. The time of the round trip, there is still one and a half months...
On February 16th, the year of the Holy Light, the officers of the three divisions of the Thunder Army boarded the ship at the port of Caubicus in Tilsim, and the members of the self-governing parliament and the military corps who came to see him off were packed. At the pier, waving a yellow handkerchief to see the soldiers who went out. The pier is crowded with people, and several bands are playing cheerful and melodious music, and the voices are full of enthusiasm.
"It's too noisy." Claude said that he was opposite the left-handed General Scree, next to his mother, Kaffini and two sons, and a maid with a one-year-old daughter.
"The morale of the soldiers is very high. You listen to what they are yelling, Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will bring you a daughter-in-law back..." General Scree smiled: "You go. The jokes that went to the blind date have been circulated in the army. Many officers and men are really holding the idea of finding a wife for themselves. You should pay attention to this, but you have to turn over the boat in the gully. Emphasize the discipline, don't overdo it."
Claude smiled: "I will pay attention to it, I will hand it over to you. Not much to say, I should go on board..."
Kissing the mother, wife, and three children, Claude was the last to get on the boat. More than two hundred ocean-going vessels stood with a trumpeter, and they blew together the horn. The horn of the "呜呜呜" echoed in the harbor, and a sea-going ship sailed and set sail. The more than 20 armored ships that were guarded by the fleet also started the steam engine. Black smoke appeared in the chimney, and the low "rumbling" sound began to sound and began to wave on the sea.
Claude's nature is the new flagship "Baitou Haidiao" cruiser of the Ironclad Fleet. This is the second improved armored cruiser produced by the overseas self-governing corps. After the sea test was successfully accepted, it was immediately taken over by the fleet. General De's is set to be his own ship and is the new flagship of the Ironclad Fleet. Compared with the first "Golden Claw Seahawk" armored cruiser, the "Baitou Haidiao" cruiser has better habitability. At the very least, the starting noise of the marine steam engine is not so large.
Fourteen days later, the stormy seas are only one and a half days away from Bailucheng.
"Would our fleet leave the White Hart for the soldiers to rest for a few days?" Murray asked Claude, who was watching the sea.
"Nothing is necessary." Claude shook his head. "If we are at Bailucheng, then when we set sail again, maybe our whereabouts will leak out. Go straight here and stick to it for ten days. We arrived at the destination of Floridian Harbour and then took a break. Now the soldiers on each sea boat are exercising, and they must not be soft-shrimp. When they land, they can’t stand soft. The action is a quick fix, and it will continue to fight after landing, only until the completion of the meniscus plan..."
Murray Ed sighed a long sigh: "I have begun to regret some of it now, shouldn't I be in charge of this ocean cruise fleet. As a soldier, it is a lifetime glory to destroy the enemy's king city. But I am now a navy. I couldn’t follow the boss’s battle on the land, and I felt a little regret in my heart. The two boys, Berklin and Diavid, always showed off in front of me. Sometimes I really want to slap them, what is it!”
Claude haha laughed: "The siege of the city, the destruction of the enemy is indeed the glory of the army, but the power of the sea, the invincible but the navy style. This month's hook plan, your burden is also very heavy, not only to **** When we arrived at our destination, we also destroyed the Neptune Fleet of the Hicks Kingdom, blocked the North Bay of the Cannes, and annihilated the Nasri Kingdom and the Kansas Kingdom's cruise fleet, capturing the ocean-going seagoing ships of the enemy. .....
To be honest, I have been worried that the number of warships in the armored fleet is too small. It is only twenty-two ships. It is still less than the number of enemy cruise units. Like the Navy fleet, there are more than one hundred sail ships. Although I believe that the Ironclad Fleet will win, I do not want to have too much damage, affecting the follow-up **** plan. You should be aware that the **** plan behind is the key to the whole operation. Once our Thunder Legion has no ammunition, it will be in trouble..."
"Do not worry, boss." Murray Ed confidently said: "When we escorted a transport fleet to the West Coast at the end of last year, did we not encounter pirates? As a result, the two armored destroyers we escorted attacked and sank. Pirates of seven warships captured 15 ocean-going seagoing vessels. The famous Boldo pirate gang in the Nubari Islands was destroyed, and the sinister pirate leaders were hanged on the docks of the port of Vibator. The remaining four or five hundred pirates were also sent to the Rocky Mountain State for mining.
The Neptune Fleet of the Hicks Kingdom has many warships, but it is an old sail ship. And we are now equipped with white phosphorus shells, as long as they hit a shot, they want to save the fire can not save, want to run is even more, can only watch the battleship burned into a torch. And we are all armored warships, just relying on the solid iron bullets fired by their old-fashioned guns, it is simply ticking us. Don't worry, boss, we will send the Neptune fleet of the Hicks Kingdom to the bottom of the sea. Even if we didn't hit it, we could completely hit their warships to the bottom of the sea..."
Murray Ed did not say anything wrong, just like the two armored destroyers of the Boldo Pirates at the end of last year. Among them, there were countless solid shells in the pirate ship, and there were only a few hundred pits on the ship's board. The seven pirate ships they sank were actually three by the artillery, and the other four were hit by the sharp corners of their bodies.
So Murray's confidence is very strong, and does not think that the Navy's fleet of more than 100 sail ships can pose a threat to the armored fleet. In the past two years, the overseas self-governing port of Patras has built four armored warships, four to six each, and already has fourteen armored destroyers, two armored cruisers and six armored armored ships. All have been improved, and the final batch of armored destroyers can be really finalized when they are produced.
On March 14th, the year of the Holy Light, the 248 oceangoing vessels escorted by the Ocean Cruise Fleet and the Ironclad Fleet arrived at the outer seas of the Floridian harbour in the Principality of Rimondra. The armored warships seized all the fishing boats and the passing cargo ships in the sea area, and then the disguised squadrons under the leadership of Major Blovik took the fishing boats and cargo ships into the seaport in the middle of the night, quietly controlling. The letter eagle communication office, the city government office, the local garrison camp, the patrol department, the city gate and the checkpoint outside the city.
With the torch waving at the dock, a massive landing begins. After the arrival of the dawn of the sky, the residents of the harbour town of Floric found that the entire city has been unknowingly occupied by the enemy, even if someone wants to send a letter to the city can not do.
"I will seal the city for three days, and the news that the Floridian harbour will be occupied by us will be circulated." Claude held an emergency meeting: "But I only give you a day off, and Berklin is the first attack. The main force, you lead the first division to the kingdom of Bolivia in the kingdom of Nasri, do not hit the banner of our kingdom, just hit the banner of the overseas dominion, all the way, in addition to the supply of supplies, do not tell others their own number and destination, everything They all say that they are secret actions, so that the enemy can’t figure it out..."
The reason why Claude said this is that after the occupation of the Floridian harbour, from time to time, the residents of the city mistaken the Thunder Army for the newly formed troops of the League of Nations in the Eastern Region. Because the Thunder Army soldiers wore brown-gray military uniforms and helmets worn, and no one ever believed that this was their own enemy of the army of the Kingdom of Ovilas.
Even if a soldier told the residents of the city that he was a soldier of the Kingdom of Ovilas, this time he came to recover the lost land. But those in the city still think that this is a joke. As everyone knows, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ovilas have always been wearing military uniforms with red blouses, red straight military caps, black long boots and black belts. It is clear at a glance that this brown-gray military uniform will never be. Therefore, the residents of these cities said happily, I understand, we all know, you are here for confidentiality...
When McCain told Crowder the reaction of the residents of these cities, Crowder was immersed in contemplation, and immediately ordered the collection and falsification of the official documents and certificates of the Eastern Alliance, pretending to be the newly formed army of the enemy to reinforce the front line. Then he handed over the forged documents to Berklin, and led him to lead the first division to quickly assault the kingdom of Bolivia in the Kingdom of Nasri. The forged documents allowed him to collect the supplies of grain and horses in the towns along the way.
"You don't have to worry about the towns that are thrown behind by you and the Ephesus, the capital of the Principality of the West Dings. These can be left to our follow-up troops. Your only purpose is to use the king of the city of Bolivia. Arrived at a fast speed, occupying the king city, holding the king city, waiting for us to come. Do you understand?" Crowder looked at Berklin and asked.
"Understood, general, I must not disgrace the mission." Berklin got up and saluted.
"Mc Jack, your mission is to lead the Third Division, sweeping the territory of the former Eskilin, and reclaiming the enclave occupied by the Hicks Kingdom. The focus is on maintaining the military industry in the three southern counties. And integrate it in the first place. Build a manufacturing workshop that can produce the shells and bullets we need. If the ammunition transportation at sea is interrupted, we need to rely on the ammunition produced here to fight... ”
McJack stood up: "General, guaranteed to complete the task."
"Colonel Anders." Claude looked at his former adjutant: "Your 134 regiment is stationed here, maintaining the order here, waiting for the ocean fleet to arrive again to deliver ammunition and supplies to us. Do you understand your duties?"
"Yes, the general, the city is in the people, I will never let the Floridian harbour be lost in my hands!" Colonel Anders raised his salute and shouted loudly.
"Well, everyone will go to the pre-war preparations, and we will leave immediately after three days," Claude said.
