Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter VIII Registration

The Fukeby Hill Camp, as its name suggests, is a military camp located on a hill. Only Claude found that the size of the military camp did not seem to be large at the foot of the mountain.

Coming down from the carriage and waving goodbye to Uncle Oske, Crowder walked to the front post. This sentry is somewhat similar to the toll booths of previous life. A simple wooden bungalow with a crossbar on the road. Only the vehicles that have been inspected and allowed can be lifted into the mountain road after the crossbar is lifted.

Three or four soldiers are standing on duty, and they have been staring at Crowder from the carriage. This is not a place where people come to the bustle. There is nothing new and beautiful. It is rare for someone to be sent by a carriage, so they become the object of attention.

Claude walked over and identified it. He came to an epaulette and the other three soldiers in front of the different soldiers. He took out the conscription from the backpack: "Hello, I received the conscription order. Where should I report? ?"

Only the soldier with two red lines in the epaulettes than the rest of the soldiers did not pick up the recruitment order from Claude. Instead, he shouted at another soldier: "Charlene, look at it, it is a conscription order to us. If you report it, you take him to the mountain and look for Lieutenant Hawkem."

"Sorry, this gentleman, I can't read." After the soldier shouted, the soldier said sorry to Claude.

"Oh..." Claude didn't expect others to be illiterate: "I was too rash, I am sorry, I am Claude Field, from White Lucheng."

"Nothing." The soldier smiled. "When I was a child, I went to play. I saw a headache when I saw these words. I couldn’t learn how to go in. The result is now blind. My name is Wallerick Ames Lang. Call me Walker."

"It’s great to know you, Master Walker, we will be colleagues in the future.” Claude said.

At this time, the soldier named Charino had already read the conscription order. He nodded to Walker: "Sergeant, he came to receive the training of the noncommissioned officer, and came to us to report."

"Then you will wait here for a while, there will be a transport carriage coming over, you will sit up and go up the mountain together, so you can also save energy. Come, you should sit down to the house first, here the wind is cool." Confirmed Crow After the Germans came to receive the training of the noncommissioned officers, this sergeant named Walker was obviously more enthusiastic.

"Thank you." Claude was also polite, sitting down on a row of wooden stools against the wall outside the wooden bungalow, and chatting with the soldiers without a ride. Very much, he learned that this sergeant named Walker is also one of the candidates for the training of non-commissioned officers. He has served in the Blue Feathers for three and a half years and was nominated for this non-commissioned officer training because of his outstanding performance.

"It seems that I have to ask you a lot of advice in the future. Master Walker, you are already a veteran, but I have just joined the army and I don’t know anything. This kind of non-commissioned officer training seems to have to carry you more, so that I will make mistakes." Lord was just a guest, but I didn’t expect Sergeant Walker to shake his head.

"I can't help you, Claude." Sergeant Walker said: "In fact, this non-commissioned officer training I and you are training separately, it is impossible to be together."

"Why?" Claude was amazed.

After some explanations by Sergeant Walker, Crowder realized that the original training of the officers of the Lan Yu Army was originally intended to select personnel from the veterans. After the training of the non-commissioned officers, they were promoted to the ranks of the officers and officers to prepare for the expansion of the next year. . However, I did not expect this news to spread. All the related households, the old friends of the higher authorities, have written letters asking for one or several training places, so that the talents they recommend can skip the soldiers stage and directly obtain the qualification of the lowest level officers.

Generally speaking, in the military system of the kingdom, a new recruit is enlisted, first through a three-month recruit training, and then become a soldier. If you perform well, you can become a corporal in a year. If you perform well, you can become a corporal in two years. If you become a corporal, you can be promoted to a sergeant in a year. Performance usually requires qualifications. It takes two years to get to the sergeant. The same is true from Sergeant to Sergeant.

In other words, even if the enlistment is very good, it takes at least three and a half years for a civilian recruit to become a sergeant. Whether it is a corporal or a sergeant, they are still soldiers and do not belong to the ranks of officers.

Only after becoming a sergeant, the outstanding performance of the superior is appreciated by the superior, then it is possible to be nominated to become a non-commissioned officer after one to two years. The non-commissioned officer is the lowest-ranking officer class. From this moment on, he has crossed the lowest level of the soldiers and entered the ranks of the quasi-officers or the grass-roots officers. However, there is another layer above it, which is the chief of the sergeant, also known as the reserve of the Shaolin. The chief of the sergeant is a second lieutenant. This is the official military officer's establishment of the kingdom. Regardless of whether he is in service or retired, the military positions above the ensign can be accompanied by honorary titles.

In peacetime, most of the kingdom's major field corps and local troops stationed only retained the legion structure and a small number of full-armed units to reduce military expenses. Once the kingdom faces the war, it will quickly recruit and expand the various field corps. In a sense, the kingdom does not lack senior officers and generals, but it lacks grassroots officers and junior officers. Because it is these grassroots officers and junior officers who train and command new recruits to go to the battlefield.

The training of the officers of the Blue Feather Legion has become a fragrant scent in the eyes of all parties. Not to mention becoming a sergeant or a sergeant. It is equivalent to skipping the stage of soldiers and directly becoming a grassroots officer. Saved five years. Although he became a non-commissioned officer or a sergeant, he still had to lead the soldiers to the battlefield, and the casualties were great. It can be life and death, wealth is in the sky, and the survival rate of the grassroots officers is higher than that of becoming a soldier. If you don't say anything else, even if you are wounded on the battlefield, you will save the officer and save the soldiers.

Because the relationship is too much for the people, the Blue Feather Legion has to decide to divide the officers who are training the non-commissioned officers into two batches. One is the outstanding veterans selected from the military. They will be promoted directly to the officers in the training. The other batches are those who are related to the households and people who recommend them. The training of the non-commissioned officers will be stricter and longer than the veterans. Considering that many of the recommended personnel did not experience the military, they were given a three-month recruit training and then a non-commissioned officer training.

Well, Claude finally understands his next encounter. According to Sergeant Walker, he will receive another three months of non-commissioned officer training after receiving a three-month recruit training. I know how hard it will be in the next half year...

Sitting for a while, a long-distance transport team arrived, which was to send food to the military camp on the hill. Claude and the soldier named Charino climbed into the carriage, and said goodbye to Sergeant Walker and the other two soldiers, sitting on the flour sack from the high base and swaying up the mountain.

The Fukby hill is not high, and it is estimated to be fifty or sixty meters from the flat. However, the mountain road is very long, all turning and turning. Charino said that this is actually a logistics base of the Blue Feather Legion. The Legion is not here. In the west of the city of Konigada, there are more than 30,000 people in the camp and nearly 4,000 tents. The past is boundless and spectacular.

The transport carriage went on the mountain road for nearly half an hour and finally arrived at the military camp. This is actually the reason why the speed is too slow. Claude thinks that it is only ten minutes from the foot of the mountain to the barracks. The reason for the slow carriage is that the flour is too heavy and too heavy. The two horses pulling the car are old. Although the walk is very stable, the speed is not fast. In addition, the team should keep the distance, and the speed of the front should not be able to surpass it.

The Fukby Hill Camp seems to be a logistics base, as Charlene said. Because the houses here are all large warehouses with stone and wood structures. Claude thought that the reason for coming here to report is that there is a big playground here. The playground is very big, nearly four or five times larger than the playground in the country of White Deer Town. Moreover, a row of gray-white tents has been set up on the edge of the playground. It seems that the Blue Feather Legion is likely to use this logistics base as a training ground for non-commissioned officers.

Soldier Charino walked with Claude to a row of logs, and Claude noticed that the large number of logs on the outer wall of the row of log houses were written in white paint with three words. In front of the second closed wooden door, Charinol knocked on the door, and soon there was a big door saying: "Come in."

Pushing the door in, Sharino is standing upright: "Report, the soldier Xialino, and the sergeant of Warwick, brought a recruiter to report."

The inside of the wooden house is not big, it is about 14 square meters. There are three desks inside. There is only one desk with a beard and a beard, and what is being written. He looked up at Charino: "Soldier, take a break, Lieutenant Hawkem is not there, but you can hand me the conscription, and you can go back."

"Yes, sir." Charino saluted, turned and blinked at Crowd, and then went out without saying a word.

Claude stepped forward: "Hello, Mr. Shaohao, I received a conscription order and came to report."

The man with a beard with a square face slightly looked at Crowder's eyes and rubbed his forehead with his fingers: "Put your recruitment order, pass and identification documents on the table, I will check it first."

"Okay, Mr. Shaohao." Claude was very obedient.

I just swept the conscription of the conscription, and I was no longer concerned about this with a beard and a beard. He wants to see the stamp and identification documents on the pass.

“Why did you stay in Baimucheng for a day?” The ensign was very careful. From the stamp on the pass, you can see the journey of Claude.

"No way, Baimucheng wants to catch the fugitives and seal the city one day. I can only sleep in the pub's room for a day." Claude replied.

"Oh, that's it." The Shaohao didn't have much to say. After checking the stamp on the pass, he put it aside and picked up the identity document.

"Yes, the first graduate of the Department of Physical Education, the Viscount of Felidos recommended, no wonder you can come to the training of the non-commissioned officers. Finally, I saw a decent person who chose to go, than those who have a lot of money. It’s much better to get in. You called Claude Field?”

It seems that this ensign of the beard of a square face is a soldier with a very straightforward personality. It is not uncommon for those who pull the relationship to receive the qualifications for this non-commissioned officer training. Claude quickly replied: "Yes, Mr. Lieutenant, I am Claude Field."

"In the future, you have to call the sergeant in the army, or add a military rank, you can't call it a gentleman." The square-faced bearded young man said, and then pulled the bell rope hanging on the wall. I took a form from the drawer and handed it to Claude: "Register it."

This is an application form for voluntary enlistment. The above is about gender, age, name, family address and family members, and immediate family relationships.

Soon the door knocked and a corporal came in.

"Guru Corporal, what do you bring with this, what is it?" The face was bearded and looked at the name on the identity document: "Claude Field went to the army to apply for the recruit registration, this identity document You take the past, you have to enter the file, and you have to make a camping tent arrangement. Wait a second, he finished this form and I can print it and leave."

"Yes, Lieutenant Gilpo." Corporal Grosley said.

Claude has already finished the form. This is called Gilpo's face and a beard. He checked and found that there were no errors and omissions. He took the seal on the table and put a stamp on the form, and then handed it along with the identification document. Give that sergeant.

"Go with Corporal Gros, Claude, you have to remember that from today on, you are a soldier of the Blue Feather Legion." said Lieutenant Gilpo.
