My Italy

Although it has been promised to add two armored cruisers to the navy, it is impossible to negotiate the specific construction now.

Apart from anything else, the construction cost of two armored cruisers is at least 20 million lire, and we need to wait for Carlo to raise part of it. In addition, he also has some ideas about building the armored cruiser Carlo, but he has to wait until he communicates with the designers before he can let them know his ideas.

Of course, some preliminary preparations still need to be made, but Admiral Gorek will take over these. But don't forget that these two ships were built for the Italian Navy. He will definitely be more anxious than Carlo.

In fact, Carlo has already had preliminary ideas about these two Italian first armored cruisers, because there is no other choice. The Garibaldi-class armored cruiser is very good, equipped with thousands of pieces of equipment on a ship of more than 8,000 tons. It is equipped with tons of equipment for patrolling, and the speed is not slow. It can be said to be a classic.

Of course, Italy cannot build the Garibaldi class now. Not only the power system is different, but also there are no rapid-fire cannons. This is a bit of a headache, but I believe there is a way to solve it. We can't build a complete version. , a shrunken version is also fine, wait until Carlo has a chat with the navy designer.

General Saraguet, who was the Minister of War, was unaware of Carlo's desire to sponsor the navy. After he hurriedly returned to the War Ministry, he immediately gathered people to prepare to give the red shirt troops who arrived in Rome a show of power.

So when the excited former Red Shirt Army members arrived in Rome, they were immediately pulled to the military camp before they had a chance to see the capital.

Ciampino Military Camp is located 20 kilometers south of Rome. This military camp is stationed with a regiment of Italian troops. However, today, a team different from Italian blue military uniforms appeared in the military camp. Its bright red color made many officers and soldiers in the military camp feel a little dazzling.

Yes, these are the future officers and soldiers of the Third Guards Regiment, but they are not in good condition. Everyone was sweating and panting.

No way, anyone who runs from the port to Ciampino without being out of breath will be given a thumbs up and said, "Good man."

The distance between the two was 40 kilometers, and it took them a long time to reach it. ,

"Now prepare to assemble and count the number of people."

The leading officer immediately began to prepare the team after they rested for a while.

"Cosenz, these officers really don't give people a chance to rest."

"Chowdhury, stop talking and get ready to assemble."

The full name of the man called Cosenz is Haldan Cosenz. Yes, he is the son of the old Cosenz, and the other man named Chaudhry is his good friend. The two joined the team when Garibaldi was redshirting in Palermo. Relying on their respective strengths, the two served as temporary squad leaders.

After being recruited by Carlo, their duties were still not relieved. Before the two of them could think about their future in Rome, after getting off the ship, they were asked to lead the team and run to Ciampino. According to these nostril-reading officers, they, rookies, don't know how to fight, so they don't need to be taught how to run away.

So after they got off the boat and had a meal, they immediately started running away. And Cosentz had to admit that these officers who looked at people with their nostrils were really outstanding. These officers had been running with them. When they were still running and didn't even want to say anything, these officers could still treat them. Ridicule and enthusiasm.

And it's all like: You guys can also be called red shirts. I think Lord Garibaldi can't find anyone. At your speed, my grandma can run faster than you. If you were my soldiers, I would die of shame.

These sarcastic words made many people angry. In order not to be looked down upon by these officers, they gritted their teeth and ran all the way to Ciampino.

When the officers shouted to assemble, these former Red Shirt Army personnel immediately gathered into a queue quickly. In Palermo, they trained a lot so they were able to cope with this situation.

However, after they were assembled, the officers did not give them any instructions, but instead asked them to continue waiting. But soon they knew why. They saw stragglers from the original red shirt army running towards them one after another. It was obvious that these officers were asking them to wait for the stragglers.

The sun in June made people feel very uncomfortable, but these officers stood with them, so no one wanted to complain and they just gritted their teeth and persisted.

As for those who were left behind, they also let them go and let them automatically join the queue. Only the officer looked at his watch from time to time, as if waiting for something.

About half an hour later, the leading officer spoke. "No need to wait, count now."

"one"

"two"

"three"

"..."

The number of people counted stayed at 1,417.

And at this time someone ran in again.

"Stop, you're eliminated."

The sweaty former redshirt member looked helplessly at the officer's merciless words.

"I said you were eliminated, can't you hear what I said?"

The officer loudly announced that he had been eliminated, causing a commotion in the team. Many people know this person. He is the son of a cook in Palermo. His name is Ada Barry. He is a kind-hearted little fat man. Many people are very angry when faced with this situation and want to ask why.

But someone moved faster than them.

"Report, I have a question."

Someone in the team spoke loudly, it was Haldane Cosentz, and this little fat guy named Ada Barry was a member of his team.

An officer immediately came to him, stared at him and asked. "Tell me, what's the problem?"

"Why he was eliminated."

"Because he timed out."

"As far as I know, the army has clear time regulations for long-distance emergency marches. But this time has not reached this time at all."

Cosentz's words caused a commotion in the team. If the officers could not give a reason, then maybe a storm of resistance was coming.

The officer leading the team obviously knew this, and he shouted an order. "Stand still, don't move."

When the line died down, he walked up to Cosentz. "tell me your name."

The officer's words caused a flash of worry in the eyes of many people.

But Cosentz was not afraid at all, and he answered loudly. "My name is Haldane Cosentz, sir."

The leading officer immediately spoke loudly in his ear. "Very good, I remember you. Don't you want to know why? I will tell you now. Because what I implement is not the uniform standard in the military, but the standard of our Guards. The whole journey is 43 kilometers, and we are close to Even the new recruits of the Guards should be able to finish the run within 5 hours, and we also need to carry weapons and ammunition. It takes more than five hours for you to run empty-handed. Such soldiers should not appear in our Guards. Now you understand, answer me."

"Understood, sir."

The words of the leading officer calmed down all the dissatisfaction of the team. And Cosentz could only say sorry to the little fat man in his heart, I can't help you.

"Do you still have any questions now?"

"No more, sir."

The leading officer immediately walked in front of everyone, looked at them and continued. "My name is Stefan Cesar, and all new recruits of the Guards will be trained by me. In addition, I have a nickname called Hell Instructor. I hope you like my nickname."

After he finished speaking, he smiled like a rookie, which made many people shudder inwardly. It seems that some of them will suffer.
