Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 349 General Algers

In the next few days, Claude was very busy. He took Master Bird and Mrs. Sonia to the iron ore workshop that he and Mr. Verberen co-organized, watched the production of the fire machine and the production of the throwing bomb. In addition to Claude's surprise, Master Bird had a very strong interest in the fire machine and the throwing bomb. He promised Claude's solicitation and prepared to study the fire machine and the next day. Throw a bomb.

Of course, he did not resign from the position of the head of the firearms repair workshop. Anyway, it doesn't matter if he goes there, there are supervisors who are supervising. Claude also agrees that Master Bird is also the head of the firearms repair workshop. After all, it is a public office, which can bring a lot of convenience in many cases.

Later, Master Bird can concentrate on doing research and experimentation in the laboratory of the ranch. Occasionally, when he goes to a firearms repair workshop, he should be distracted. He will show his face in front of the inspector, and he will be happy.

Since Master Bird and Mrs. Sonia have agreed to Claude's solicitation, Claude will also move the soil in the pasture, expand the laboratory and the supporting small production equipment workshop, and strive to make Master Bird both father and daughter. Satisfied with the hardware conditions of the laboratory, and at the same time, we must build a good living facility for Master and Master, and let them and Xiaomark have high-quality daily life.

So poor Mai Jack was caught by Claude, and Claude threw him a construction drawing, which led him to build a manor house and supporting laboratory in the ranch, and then let him return to the army after all construction work began. Serve. As for the cost, Claude asked him to take it from the privately-held Hicks Kingdom. Even the manor house with a laboratory, Claude is ready to invest 100,000 gold krona, the only requirement for Master Bird and Mrs. Sonia is to keep secret...

The busy time has passed quickly, and it has been nearly a month since the blink of an eye. On this day, Claude had just received a message from General Scrian’s dispatched serviceman, and the kingdom of the Royal Army sent him to succeed him as the chief commander of the highest commander of the theater. The hereditary count, General Algers Kay Osmolin, probably Arrive at Lanhu Town at about 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Claude wants to go in and wait for the meeting, and hand over the position...

Well, I can only say that the former corps of the former Guards Corps was in a hurry, and with his Guards Division arrived at the ship under the jurisdiction of Tilsim, he began to march all the way to the theater of Amphitheats. Come, even the invitations to the banquet of the Governor’s Admiral should not be there, for fear that his target, the port of Vibator, would be attacked. Because he has not yet taken over the position of chief of the theater commander, the head of the five divisions in the theater can ignore his orders. It is understandable to have such fears...

Claude first arrived in the mainland of Nubsia, and received the governor of Aphrodite from the direct jurisdiction of Tilsim. It took about ten days on the road. At that time, Claude led the 181st camp and was a light cavalry battalion. Strong machine power. The Guards Division led by General Algers Kay Osmolin was also a mixed-type division of half-infantry and half-cavalry, but it took only 12 days to reach the Amphitheatre territory. How eager his heart is.

However, tomorrow's welcoming ceremony does not require Claude to be responsible for the preparation. He has become accustomed to be the treasurer of the hand. These chores are naturally prepared by General Scrim and Sir Bennett. The heads of the five divisions, such as Claude, only need to present the salute to the newly-elected theater chief commander at the welcoming ceremony, and then return to the war zone command to hand over the post, and then attend the welcome banquet even if the task is completed.

The next morning, outside Lanhu Town, until 11 o'clock, the banner of the Guards Division appeared in front of everyone. Claude found that the soldiers of these Guards Divisions were neat and tidy, but their eyes still had red silk. The pace seemed neat and a little skewed. It was obvious that they had been exhausted and their spirits were very tired. Maybe I had a rest all night last night, but the fatigue of this road was not restored in one night, but now they are just holding on.

General Algers Kay Osmolin also appeared in front of Claude and others. Compared with the soldiers of the Guards Division, the spirit of the kingdom was obviously better. He was riding a white horse, and the purple saddle was decorated with golden thorns. The body was still wearing the generals of the Guards, and the carelessness was very neat and tidy.

The former garrison army chief is estimated to be fifty years old, with a square face, no expression, blond hair, and two gray-gold splayed characters. He sat high on the horse and looked coldly at the crowd who came to meet him.

"Playing music!" A major shouted loudly, and the band that was arranged behind him began to play the famous "Great Kingdom." Claude took a group of officers to the generals of General Algers Kay Osmolin, starting with Claude, and then self-reporting names and positions, to the kingdom sitting on the horse. Pay tribute to the salute.

General Algers Kay Osmolin also sat on the mount and returned to the ceremony. After all the leaders of the theater headquarters paid tribute to him, he came down from the horse and smiled. All the people shook hands and gave greetings one by one. In the face of Claude, he even extended his hands and smiled. He also said with a smile that he had long been the title of Claude. The third colonial war played the prestige of the kingdom army. It is worthy of being a rising star of the kingdom.... .

Then there was the welcome of the famous places of Sir Bennett. General Algers Kay Osmolin changed the initial indifference and saw everyone together. While chatting and laughing, they were surrounded by the theater command. go with.

General Claude and Bologna fell to the bottom and whispered.

"He was a bad person. When he arrived, he gave us a horse." General Bologna sighed: "When we signed up for him, he was sitting on the ground with a deliberately high head, showing his face from today. It’s the chief commander of the theater’s supreme commander. All of us military personnel have the final say. In the future, they must be subject to his orders. No way, whoever calls him a kingdom admiral.”

"Then he went down again?" Claude didn't think of General Algers Kay Osmolin very simply, but he didn't understand why General Algers later shook hands.

"Do you still want to understand this?" General Bologna had a really unseen expression: "The first time he sat, let us pay tribute to him. It is the reason for the upper and lower ranks of the military. There is no feeling to speak, you Didn't notice that although he was sitting right away, could everyone return to the ceremony? Then he got off the horse and shook hands with everyone. It was not a relationship in the military, but a relationship with everyone as a nobleman. After the second time, it was a friend relationship..."

"This is too particular about it..." Claude really didn't expect to have so many connections.

General Bologna smiled and said: "This is the tradition of the old aristocratic family. Don't worry about what they are thinking and what they want to do, but do you want to interact with them like a spring breeze? Of course, let them take such an attitude, This means that we have great value in their eyes. Otherwise you will only feel their pride and disdain for you, and you have to go faster, don't wait for them to advance the theater command, then you will rush over. Hand over..."

Claude felt that General Bologna was right. He quickly took a few steps and bypassed the crowds in front of him. He entered the theater command and piled all the documents he was preparing to hand over on his desk, waiting for Algers Kay. The arrival of General Osmolin.

Soon after, General Algers accompanied Cleveland and Sir Bennett into the office of Claude. Crowder hurried to get up and greeted him by the way, pointing out the documents on the table and preparing for the handover. General Algers was amazed. He did not expect Claude to be so simple. General Scrim said with a smile: "General Claude has long been waiting for you to take over his position, so he can take more time to go home. Accompany your wife and children..."

General Algers was very surprised. He did not expect Crowder to bring his family with him. However, he did not ask carefully, but smiled: "Since General Claude is so eager, then we will hand over it."

The documents on Claude's table are roughly the files of the official documents of the theater headquarters and the files of the review documents. The expenses also need to be checked by the auditors brought by General Algers himself, so as to avoid any accounts that are not right and Crow. Germany negotiated.

However, Claude's public account is very simple. All expenses are reviewed by the logistics department headed by General Scree. Claude does not have the habit of paying the bill with public funds. He prefers to use his own money. Trading, there is nothing to check in this regard.

After the handover, it was a banquet. The guests and the host were happy, and Claude was given enough by General Bolonick and others. At about the same time, everyone was informed that at 9 am tomorrow, General Algers will hold a high-level military officer assembly, asking Claude and others to attend.

At 8:30 the next morning, Claude rushed to the theater headquarters and found that many school-level officers had been seated in the conference room. All of them were able to arrive, like the Thunder Division stationed at Wickham Castle. Senior officers have no way to attend this meeting, and the road is too far. However, McJack also came. During this time, he followed the instructions of Claude to build a manor house and laboratory in the pasture. He did not follow the Thunder 231 camp to **** new recruits to Wickham Castle.

General Algers entered the conference room at nine o'clock and it seemed that he was very obedient. After the announcement of the meeting, he first read the kingdom's army department's reward for the victory of the third colonial war. This is actually what Claude already knows. It is nothing more than his promotion to the kingdom of the kingdom. . The main event was the merger of the Thunder Division and the Third Division of the Rocks into the Thunder Legion, and Claude became the head of the army.

After the reward and promotion of the war, General Algers began his first speech after taking office, and came to the forefront. The first priority of the theater was to capture the port of Viboto in the Hicks Kingdom and end the colony. The war requires all officers and men in the theater to work hard to achieve this goal, and to restore peace to the kingdom's overseas direct jurisdiction as soon as possible.

General Algers subsequently announced that he would inspect all the troops in the theater for the next half month to accurately assess the overall combat effectiveness of the theater. After the half-month inspection, he will integrate all the combat power of the theater and send troops to the port of Vibator.

When the conference opened here, it was almost the same. It was only after the announcement that General Claude and General Bolognik were left behind, and after a simple lunch, they opened a military conference. It seems that General Algers does not trust the combat strength of the various divisions in the theater. After all, these five divisions belong to the second-line troops in the kingdom, and the combat strength of the second-line army is not good in the five-year Eastern War. .....

This is why General Algers rushed to the war zone, but was prepared to spend half a month to inspect the troops. On the one hand, it is necessary to let the escorts who followed him get a rest. This long-distance marching day and night has already dragged the entire Guards Division, and the rest of the ten-and-a-half-month period can not recover.

On the other hand, it is necessary to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the five enhanced divisions in the overseas territorial jurisdiction. This is not only the requirements of the Royal Army Department, but also the needs of General Algers himself. Although the third colonial war was a great victory, the three main legions of the Hicks Kingdom were annihilated, but this does not mean that the combat strength of the five divisions in the theater is very strong.

At the beginning, the formation plan of the five enhanced divisions in the theater established by Marshal Michelle was based on defense. This can be seen from only one offensive Thunder Division. The other four divisions are Named after the meteorite, it means to be rock-solid, to keep the main, and the Thunder Division is the squad in the defensive war, playing the role of harassing guerrillas.

It’s just that no one thought that Claude would lead the Thunder Division to swept the three main legions of the Hicks Kingdom and played a big victory. Seriously speaking, the main force of the third colonial war was the Thunder Division, and the Third Division of the Rocks rushed to make a point. The Thunder Division has more than one-third of casualties. In the Legion of the Kingdom, this has been a serious blow to the battle, and it is impossible to return to the original combat power in a short time. Therefore, General Algers is not optimistic about the strength of the three undefended defensive divisions, because he is going to carry out a siege war...

But what unexpected General Algers was unexpected was General Claude and General Bolognik, General Sevict, General Beechklin was a very confident posture for the capture of the port of Vibator, and the command of the theater command. The information about the port of Vibator submitted by Colonel Kofisler was opened to General Algers. Regarding the setting of various defensive positions in the urban area, the location of the artillery on the wall, the distribution of the troops of the standing army and the scope of the movement are very detailed in front of him.

As for the city outside, it is the land of the Wrangler of the Thunder Division from 301 to the Zero Four. The guards of the port of Vibato have been blocked in the city for almost half a year. In fact, they have calculated that there is nowhere to go in the city, because the Nikkan people in the northern coastal areas have launched anti-Hicks riots. An army was formed and the inland colony of the Hicks Kingdom was being attacked. It took more than two months to capture one-fifth of the inland colonies.

General Algers was very surprised. He did not expect that the situation in the Viktor colonial county of the Hicks Kingdom had become so beneficial to the war zone. He could not help but wonder: "Why didn't you think of sending troops to capture the port of Vibator?"

Claude replied: "The Thunder Division has too many casualties and needs to take a break."

General Bolognik said: "Our appointment is to stick to the Dolly Bara River..."

General Sevict thought about it: "We, like the first division of the Rock, need to defend the Claude defense."

General Beechklin spread his hand: "Our Fourth Stone Corps has just completed its formation, and the recruit training has not yet been completed..."

General Algers felt very moved, because it was obviously to leave the battle for the capture of the port of Vibator to himself. In his view, the city of Vibator is like a mature fruit, no matter what it takes to touch it. Falling down, Claude four people do not go to capture is to give themselves face.

"I know the good intentions of all of you. This is what the Osmolian family wrote down. Then half a month later, send troops to the port of Vibator," said General Algers.

"Why did you send troops in a few days?" Claude asked. "General, you don't really need to bring a Guardian Division. In the past, several of our slate divisions have promised to win the city of Vibator."

General Algers thought about it and shook his head. "No, this battle is not me alone. The Guards Division must bring it. They also need this battle..."

Everyone understands.
