The Rise of the European Emperor

The Scottish Regiment was the latest regiment established in the North Sea Kingdom, and its main body was the Scottish Highlander infantry prisoners of war. Frankly speaking, these people may not be very loyal to Beihai Kingdom. Therefore, in the newly established Sixth Army, Malin specially transferred 3,000 elite veterans, together with 7,000 Scottish prisoners of war, to suppress possible resistance at any time.

In fact, at the beginning of its establishment, the 7,000 Scottish Highland infantry in the Sixth Legion did have scattered riots, but they were all suppressed by Heynckes with the help of 3,000 German veterans.

Fortunately, when Marin was selecting the Scottish Highland infantry, he kicked out all the officers and Scotland with leadership ability. Therefore, none of the remaining Scottish Highland infantry who have no assertiveness has the ability to "climb up". Several small-scale riots at the beginning of its establishment were easily suppressed because no one responded.

Now, two years later, Heynckes has relatively good control over the 7,000 Scottish Highlanders of the Sixth Army.

Of course, the outside world did not know that Heynckes had complete control of the Sixth Army. Because, Heynckes is too young, only in his twenties. At this age, in the traditional German army, he has just become a captain or a knight in heavy armor.

Germany has always had a tradition of trusting the elderly, and it is difficult for young people to emerge. Because Germans are more pragmatic, you will not be allowed to take on big responsibilities without years of experience. Just like the saying in Chinese tradition that "there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm", the stereotyped Germans also trust older people more.

Therefore, for the young Heynckes, the princes of various countries are not optimistic, and have long been waiting to see Heynckes' jokes. After all, the Sixth Army was in a special situation. Most of the soldiers were Scottish soldiers, and it was difficult to control.

If there is a problem with the several legions of the North Sea Kingdom, the most likely problem is the sixth legion, which is mainly based on Scottish troops. Therefore, if Marin wants to show weakness, he must first let the Sixth Corps "problem"...

And how to make the Sixth Corps "problem"? Of course it was a mutiny...

However, Marin worries that if the mutiny is not well controlled, it may turn into a real mutiny. So, he called several legion commanders to discuss how to act together.

Regarding Marin's worries, Stade thought for a while and suggested:

"Why don't I send 5,000 elite veterans from the First Army to the south, and secretly support and protect them. If there is a mutiny, I will resolutely suppress it?"

Schwartz nodded again and again:

"Well, that's a good idea, safe, safe. So how do you make the Sixth Legion look mutinous?"

"We can do internal drills,

Pretend to be a bombing camp. Then, chase and flee, fleeing to the north. The theme of the Sixth Legion is the Scots. According to common sense, if the Scots infantry really mutiny, they should return to their hometowns. Therefore, their 'escape' route should be to go north, then seize the ship at Emden port and cross the sea back to Scotland..." Heynckes said.

"But the problem is that it seems that some officers of the Sixth Army have been bought off. If they just pretend to be infighting, the truth will definitely be passed on by those people. At that time, the princes who know the truth will definitely not be fooled." Wagner retorted road.

"Or, I order to arrest people directly? Anyway, the people under my command have also found out which ones have problems. Just control them directly, so as not to leak the news." Sauer suggested.

"No, if you can't get any news out, it's not normal, and it will make those princes suspicious." Schwartz retorted.

"Or, I deliberately put those traitors on vacation, and then act?" Heynckes suggested.

"No, if those traitors go on vacation together, the enemy may guess that those people are exposed." Kohler immediately objected.

Looking at the people arguing, Marin thought for a while, recalled the plot of the TV series in his previous life, and suddenly said:

"Well, before the action, we controlled those traitors and used the lives of them and their families to threaten them to spread false news to the princes who wooed them."

Several people thought about it, and they all agreed. But Kohler objected:

"What if the princes sent people to verify in person? Usually, it is their father and brother who come to verify the news."

"It's simple, let those few people shirk and say, 'Because of the mutiny in the army, all officers are not allowed to leave the barracks for half a step'. In this way, they can avoid coming in contact with them."

Everyone thinks about it, the army has mutinied, and the officers can leave the barracks at will? This excuse is flawless...

So, everyone agreed on the plan, and asked Heynckes to conduct internal confrontation exercises, chase and escape, and then "snatch" the ship to sea at Emden Port. But the destination of the sea is actually a secret camp on the East Frisian Peninsula. In this way, when the war begins, they can also quickly return to the homeland to fight without getting too far away.

...

"However, it's not enough that there is a problem with the Sixth Corps. After all, there are still three main legions in the mainland, and those princes are not opponents. Moreover, the Sixth Corps is dominated by Scots, so there are reasons for mutiny. The three legions are all German legions, there is no reason to mutiny..." Schwartz worried.

"Also, England also has two of our legions. If it is transferred back to the mainland, even if the princes join forces, they will not be afraid. If there is a problem with only one new legion, I am afraid that it is not enough..." Stade said.

"Then what do you mean, let the two legions have problems again?" Marin asked.

"I'm afraid it's not enough for two legions to have problems. At least three or more legions have problems before those princes dare to do it themselves." Schwartz and Stade said together.

Several other people also nodded their heads. The Beihai National Army is a modern army, and its combat effectiveness is strong. Even if there are only two legions of 20,000 people, those princes are not opponents. After all, those feudal lords usually have a standing army of several thousand people in the country, and in wartime they will force several thousand people to serve as conscripts. Even so, at most, they can make up 30,000 or 40,000 people. But in terms of combat power, it is probably not as good as the two 10,000-strong army of Beihai Kingdom.

"That means, we're going to have another problem with the four legions?" Malin thought.

Several people nodded...

Marin's eyes suddenly lit up and said:

"A while ago, King Edward of England secretly wooed Saqqara and Siwager to transfer to England with the Fourth and Fifth Corps. As it happened, I let Saqqara and Siwager pretend to join England. In this way, these two legions seem It's not a North Sea country."

"This idea is good..." Several people nodded in agreement.

"It's just, don't be self-defeating, really let the two legions belong to Edward!" Sauer worried.

"Don't worry, Saqqara and Siwag know that I'm not dead, and they won't really go to England. After all, they don't mention the degree of loyalty, and they're afraid that I will lead the troops to settle accounts with them." Marin has four in his hands. Legion, it's no problem to clean up the Fourth and Fifth Legions. Moreover, Saqqara is Marin's hardcore, and the possibility of mutiny is small. Even, Saqqara's family is in the city of Aurich.

"What about the remaining first, second, and third legions? These are all veteran legions of the North Sea Kingdom, and there is no reason to mutiny..." Schwartz said.

"This is indeed a question, let me think about it..." Marin was lost in thought...
