Chapter 325 05.0324: ‘The navy is ‘not good’ at riding horses’

These British soldiers wearing different shades of green military uniforms stepped off the transport plane. The lieutenant colonel himself disembarked from the plane on horseback from another, flatter exit.

Horatio could see that except for the dark green uniformed soldiers led by the lieutenant colonel who walked slightly more neatly, the other light green soldiers walked relatively loosely.

Horatio speculates that they are a scouting force.

Soon, their flag told him the answer.

They also belong to the British 79th Armored Reconnaissance Regiment.

The dark green soldiers are the "Rifle Company K" (Rifleman), and the rifle is the "rifled gun" of Gutera.

They also wore barrel hats, but the color was dark green, and they wore green jackets similar to those of the hussars. They had no hard armor and were very lightly dressed.

The rifle in hand is a single-shot concentrated high-power laser gun.

What Horatio found interesting was that they were also equipped with sword-shaped bayonets like the Imperial Navy's armed sailors.

Perhaps this is because their rifles are shorter than the 'Brown Bess' laser guns of the line infantry, and look like carbine-type Martini-Henry rifles.

Now their position is clear - elite reconnaissance skirmishers and precision shooters.

The soldiers wearing light green uniforms have gorgeous and elegant feathered helmets on their heads.

The company flag hanging high on the rear of the vehicle command vehicle is embroidered with 'Queen's Ranger Company A' (Queen's Ranger).

Horatio was no stranger to the word ranger.

This is an army with a long history on ancient Terra.

And it is not surprising at all that he appears in the British regiment, which is modeled after the late Age of Discovery.

The least known history of the Rangers is that they were not originally created by Americans at all.

The first regular ranger force in history was established in New Hampshire in 1756. A British major named Robert Rogers first organized nine companies of rangers to represent Britain against the French and American Continental armies.

After several great victories that beat the crap out of the Americans, the Americans, who were suffering from pain, took over the Rangers and created an identical army, which would show off their prowess in the future.

"Horatio, why do they have two companies that look similar but have one darker and one lighter uniform?" It was obvious that Louise was a little confused.

This is normal. The Cadians' military uniforms are all uniformly field green. There are not so many fancy uniforms, which is indeed confusing at first glance.

Horatio observed for a while, and gradually discovered something fishy from the two armored vehicles connected to the landing machine.

"Look at their armored vehicles, Louise. The heavy armored vehicles of their Ranger Company seem to have too thick frontal armor. They are almost catching up with Leman Russ."

Horatio said, pointing to a heavy wheeled armored vehicle that looked like an ancient Terran 'Pig Hound'.

However, the vehicle in front of me, equipped with laser cannons and heavy explosive bombs, is called a 'Bear Dog'.

In comparison, the wheeled armored vehicles of the rifle company are very thin and light. They look like the clanking vehicles of the British Army in World War II, but they have longer barrel laser cannons, which are obviously more maneuverable and have stronger penetration. Suitable for side attack and hit and run.

Relying on his rich military experience, Horatio deduced from a glimpse that the battlefield tactical positioning and battlefield division of labor of the two companies were different.

The configuration of the British Armored Reconnaissance Regiment also brought him some bright surprises.

As the founder of Hell's Vanguard and the proposer of the ripple theory, Commodore Peru sent him to the ground not only to coordinate and communicate as a fleet liaison officer, but also to take a vacation in disguise. This kind of thing can be done by any lieutenant or even alternate officer. He In fact, it also shoulders an important secret mission.

That is to observe the tactical coordination of the Astra Militarum troops and the mature organization that has been tested on the battlefield, and then make a written summary and report to Admiral George Anson, President of the Naval Academy, after the expedition.

Horatio paid close attention to the performance of these Astra Militarum, not leaving out any remarkable details, and used his brilliant brain with a photographic memory to remember them like recording them on a memory board.

[These are all important measures to continue to improve the ripple theory in the future and fight against the enemies of the 41st and even the 42nd millennium. ]

As a time traveler, he clearly knows what he should do now and what he is doing.

If everything really follows the Guilliman Code, then when Guilliman wakes up, everyone will be a clown together.

He was determined to push forward the military reforms that would change the current status quo of the divided Empire before the future regent, Robert Guilliman, the 13th Primarch, awakened.

He was convinced that he was doing the right thing, and was sure that the Prince Regent would also support his actions when he woke up.

After the entire 1st Battalion of the 79th Armored Reconnaissance Regiment landed, Sir Wellesley on horseback asked his servants to lead another black horse towards Horatio.

"It seems that our navy colleagues can fly quickly if they have a special plane." The lieutenant colonel smiled on the horse and said:

"Captain, I think this is a fine horse that suits you very well. It is majestic and majestic. It is the best stallion in the stable."

"It's really good." Horatio walked to the black stallion and stroked the smooth mane.

Although he preferred to take the mobile command post, since someone was kind enough to bring him a gift, he couldn't refuse.

[Okay, I hope this horse isn't too strong. ]

Holding the saddle with his hand, he stepped on the stirrup, but just as he stepped on it, before he was even on the saddle, the horse began to carry him forward.

Horatio quickly adjusted his center of gravity, and the leg on the ground did a few steps to keep his balance.

"Captain!" Louise quickly supported him, preventing him from getting stuck in the stirrup and being dragged down.

"Hold the reins! Can't you even lead a horse?" The lieutenant colonel shouted at the servants, raising the whip in his hand.

At this time, Horatio, who had adjusted his center of gravity, seized the opportunity and stepped onto the saddle sedan.

Not only did he not make a fool of himself as expected, but the whole process was unexpectedly clean and neat, heroic and heroic, which made the lieutenant colonel lord completely unable to find fault.

The navy of the 41st millennium had never ridden a horse, but it did not mean that Horatio had never ridden one in ancient Terra.

"Excuse me, the navy is not good at riding horses." After stabilizing his body, Horatio seemed to be unconcerned about the little accident just now, and teased.

He then asked: "But, can my deputy and secretary only follow on foot?"

"I don't see that you are not good at riding horses, sir." The knight chuckled:

"If necessary, we still have war horses for the messengers, but please forgive me, they are far inferior to the horse under your crotch."

"It's okay. Our navy doesn't like to assign tasks condescendingly. After all, there is only a difference between seniority and juniority among our lieutenants. My two colleagues should not be treated much differently from me."

"As you wish, Mr. Cochrane." The lieutenant colonel raised his eyebrows and signaled the attendant to lead another spotted horse and a brown horse from the stable of the battalion headquarters.

Archie's family was also a famous family when the major general's grandfather was alive, and he had been exposed to it when he was a child, so he still remembered how to ride a horse.

But Horatio knew that Louise had really never ridden a horse, in order to avoid her accidents.

He dismounted, and politely held Louise's thighs to help her, who had never ridden a horse before, to get on the horse's back.

Then, the first time was new, the second time was familiar.

The second time, Horatio got on the warhorse by himself without anyone holding the reins.

With the clatter of horses' hooves, the four of them rode quickly to a tent, where many Astra Militarum lieutenant colonels and majors in blue and red uniforms stood.

They were all frontline commanders.

The southern front was mainly composed of British, and there were also some light infantry battalions of Mordian.

At this time, there was a lot of debate inside about strategic planning.

Lieutenant Colonel Wellesley, the brigade commander, dismounted gracefully, with skillful and elegant movements. After landing, he adjusted his uniform, then took off his army bicorne hat and waved it.

"Greetings, officers." He opened his mouth with the iconic high-level greeting that was often used among nobles.

The people inside looked at the knight and temporarily stopped arguing.
