The Rise of the European Emperor

Soon, Marin saw the students of these young officer classes. Of course, they were already young at this time, and each of them was tall and straight.

Because of the relationship between age and living standards, German civilians in this era are not tall, and there are not many people over 1.7 meters. This is mainly because the quality of life of ordinary people is too poor. It is rare to be able to eat enough rye bread, how can there be enough nutrition to grow taller? Only children from aristocratic families, or children from wealthy families, generally exceed 1.7 meters or even 1.8 meters because of adequate nutrition. Of course, there is no shortage of perverts like Kahn who are naturally tall and strong among the people, but there are relatively few.

The graduates of Marin's junior officer class all exceeded 1.7 meters in height, and many of them reached 1.8 meters, which made them look mighty and majestic when standing in the queue.

This is mainly because when Marin was building the juvenile officer class, he specially ordered people to build a dairy farm next to the military academy to provide milk for 200 teenagers every day. When they first entered school, these people were generally 16 years old, which is the prime time for growing tall. The military academy not only provides enough milk, but also provides enough meat and vegetables, so that these teenagers are very nutritious. Coupled with the heavy exercise of 5 kilometers of cross-country running every day, all these teenagers have grown into tall youths. Looking at their tall and straight figures and rosy faces, those who didn't know it thought they were young people from wealthy families. Because most of the children from poor families have vegetables on their faces, so it is impossible for them to be so healthy and strong.

Although Gustavo is old-fashioned, he has nothing to say about his military literacy. Originally, he was born in a declining noble family, similar to Schwartz. It's just that he was not as lucky as Schwartz, and it was too late to know Marin. Therefore, it was not reused by Marin. Sometimes, it's useless for you to have talent, and it's useless if you don't have someone who appreciates you. The so-called hard work will pay off, and it can only coax kindergarten children. People's chances and luck are sometimes as important as talent, or even more important.

Of course, Gustavo is not bad luck. When he brought 200 young reserve officers to Marin, his chance came...

Marin didn't know the level of these young reserve officers, so he sent several experienced officers to test the military qualities of these people. The next day, the officers reported that these young reserve officers had solid basic military skills and were fully qualified for the post of squad leader in the army. The only thing lacking is probably practical experience. After all, having never really fought a war, I don't know how brave they are. And, whether you can face it calmly when facing life and death.

These two qualities are very important. On the battlefield, courage is the most important thing. If you don't have courage, you can't fight at all on a battlefield where you may die at any time. Therefore, choose the arms and use it first. When Marin recruited troops, he also deliberately let the candidates compete with each other. However, the person they choose is often not the one who wins, but the one who is tenacious and not afraid of getting hurt. Marin will not accept anyone who hesitates and retreats, even if he is skilled in martial arts, it is useless.

Apart from courage, the most important thing is to keep calm when you have courage.

Marin believes that having courage can only show that you can go to the battlefield, but on the battlefield, a person with courage will have two performances-one is to fight the enemy bravely with blood. Such a person is a real warrior, a real fighter. However, they are not suitable to be commanders. Because, sometimes they are too impulsive and not rational enough.

The second manifestation of a courageous person is that while being brave, he also maintains a calm mind, is able to judge the situation, and make a good response. And such people are considered "courageous and resourceful" by people, and they are good seedlings for military officers. However, such people are rare. Otherwise, there would be no saying that "a thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find".

Therefore, when Marin formed the juvenile officer class, he told Gustavo that he must cultivate the quality of keeping calm in brave situations.

It's just that these two qualities are currently invisible. Only when they are actually on the battlefield can they see whether they are really brave and whether they are calm under the premise of being brave. Therefore, Marin had to take them to Siena, and in the war, these two qualities of them could be seen concretely.

To this end, Marin divided 200 officer students into 8 teams with 25 people in each team. Then, a veteran was assigned to each team as the captain. And in each team, the duty of the veteran captain is not to lead them to fight, but to secretly observe everyone's performance, such as whether they are brave, and whether they are calm while being brave.

After the war, Marin will make specific arrangements for these officers and students based on the report. Those who lack courage will not have the opportunity to lead troops in the future. However, because I have learned 6 years of military knowledge and 6 years of culture, I can't waste it, so I can be sent to school to be an instructor.

Those who have enough courage but lack calmness should be cultivated in the direction of vanguard generals. In the future, he will be responsible for leading the charge. Having a brave officer lead the way can also boost morale.

And those who have both courage and the ability to calm down and think are rare handsome talents. Marin will focus on training these people as important successors in the military in the future.

In order to better observe the performance of these military students, Marin selected 8 veterans with the strongest observation ability. Moreover, the instructors of the spy school trained them in observation skills, teaching them to judge whether a person is nervous or afraid, and whether he is really calm from the expression of a person. And these are exactly what they most need to observe.

...

In order to truly test the courage of these officers, Marin decided to arrange these 200 officers to serve as alternates for the Pioneer Battalion. That is to say, if the soldiers rushing to the front fall down, they have to make up for it at any time. This position has a certain degree of danger and is very challenging. However, it is not particularly dangerous.

Even, Marin planned to order his commanders to deliberately prevent these officers from being alternates. After all, there are not only 200 candidates for the vanguard battalion, but thousands of them. Let these 200 officers and students stand behind the vanguard battalion, just to make it easier for their veteran captain to observe them. After all, in front of them is the battlefield of fierce fighting. The most tragic fight happened right in front of their eyes.

Moreover, before the war, Marin would coax them, saying that they would make up at any time. In this case, their mood swings are best observed. Because they are the closest to the main battlefield.

Facing the battlefield that is close at hand, those who are brave will think of rushing forward and join the battle group; ...

...

As for Gustavo, the instructor of the 200 military cadets, Marin has already taken a fancy to him. Able to teach 200 students conscientiously for 6 years without complaining, he is a very stable and reliable person. As for courage and ability, Marin had already seen it in the initial war. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen as the instructor. After all, as an instructor of a military officer, his own quality and ability must first meet the standard...

From Gustavo, Marin clearly saw the characteristics of the later generations of Germans who were rigid, serious, and strong in execution. Such a person is the most suitable to serve as the general of the defender...
