German Eagle: Steel and Magic

Chapter 108
"I am very lucky to be able to command such an elite unit. Unfortunately, it would be great if I could fight the Franks."

Major General Pogheim said angrily, as if he was not satisfied with his arrangement.

Karl was very puzzled, where to fight a war is not a war, but after chatting for a while, it was probably clear.

This major general, who will be no less than 50 years old next year, has stayed at home for almost ten years. Good guy, this "leisure" is almost the same as retirement.

And because of a drunken disturbance, he said something that shouldn't be said, which almost ended his military career as a major general.

After deliberation, the military management committee finally decided to transfer him from the army and arranged a nominal "staff officer" position in the Ministry of Defense in Berlin, but this soldier also loved the empire from the bottom of his heart and only wanted to go to battle to kill the enemy.

So I didn't go there at all on the day of the report, and just stayed at home for ten years without a job.

If it weren't for the tense situation this time, and the extreme lack of an experienced commander, Pogheim would never have the opportunity to lead a division to support operations in Norway.

And at the beginning, this guy was not happy, saying that he wanted to go to the western front to fight the Franks, but the Ministry of Defense didn't want to accommodate him. He had to either go to Norway or stay at home and grow grass.

This made him reluctantly accept this task, but he was still upset from the bottom of his heart.

But it wasn't that he was "angry" about everything. When he heard that the 1033 squadron led by Karl was going to be under his command, the old guy was really excited for a while.

Karl is a big celebrity today, and the 1033 Squadron he leads is even more elite. It has made countless achievements since its establishment, and now it is a well-known existence among all the aviation mages in the empire.

All military commanders have a new goal, which is to be able to command such a force.

It was also the excellence of this troop that made the old guy willing to wait at the door of the hotel. He wanted to see what kind of troop this legendary squadron was.

After chatting for a while, Clayton dragged Poggyheim away. After all, Karl is the commander of the aviation mage trained by the Central Army, and Poggyheim has a "criminal record".

If he inadvertently said some bad words, it was likely to cause Karl's psychological changes.

After seeing off the two superiors, Karl finally let out a sigh of relief.

The tasks to be picked up are clear, and all that remains is to prepare and go to Norway to fight.

"Norway, a Nordic country, this is the first time I've been there. Finally, I can appreciate the depth of the snow."

Speaking of Snow White, Karl thought of that strange dream and the frank body again.

……

"This military uniform is ugly enough, who designed it?"

After a bumpy journey, the only thing that the 1033 Squadron can relieve their boredom is the military uniform. As a result, the national defense uniform of the Kingdom of Denmark is ugly, ingenious, and unconventional.

Karl has always cherished his custom-made styles. Except for today's suit, the original German military uniforms are not very good-looking, but after comparison, it is really... I don't know if I am blessed.

Because Germany is at war with Frank, the three hastily formed divisions have not yet been completed. Karl's unit is called the First Division of the German Volunteer Army of the Kingdom of Denmark, referred to as the First Division of Germany.

The name is very simple, but the first division has not yet been fully formed. At present, there are only two infantry regiments and one artillery battalion.As for the other troops, they can only wait to send them over later.

Although the troops have not yet been fully formed, and although this so-called "division" has less than 6000 people, Major General Pogheim is still full of vigor, and the blood that has been silent on the battlefield for a long time is boiling again, and this veteran is eager to try.

Karl could see the old man in his 50s yelling from a long distance. Although he couldn't hear clearly, he was very confident and heroic.Karl didn't intervene too much, after all, he still had a lot of troublesome things to deal with.

Hanitz and his mechanics are ready. This time the vehicle is still the Falcon 15, and the weapon is the Mauser 1 special gun for aviation wizards that is too familiar.

However, accessories and ammunition are a problem. After all, their logistics is provided by the Kingdom of Denmark. The weapons of the two countries are very different, especially the vehicles.

Regarding this issue, Karl has called the Central Army Staff in Berlin, but there has been no response yet.Karl has done everything he should do, and the coordination ability of the staff department will depend on it later.

I glanced at my watch, it was almost time, and now I needed to go to the pier to board the boat.

Glancing at the team members, they were all still buying souvenirs nearby, and yelled loudly to come back and catch up with the big team.

Everyone boarded a merchant ship again, and there were less than 1033 members of the 40 Squadron plus Hanitz and others who were in charge of logistics.Compared with a group of armies crowded on a ship, the treatment of the navy is simply heaven.

After taking a brief look at this group of troops, I am afraid that there will be serious problems with the combat effectiveness of this army.

Germany's conscription has been going on for a long time, and most of the men of the right age have long been conscripted to fight against the Franks on the Western Front.Therefore, most of the people sent to Norway are too old or too young, referred to as "old, weak, sick and disabled".

The most important thing is that the quality of their grassroots officers is very low, and they are generally "troublesome" who are not wanted by other troops, or veterans who have retired from the army.Such a command system will have many problems. On the battlefield, it is likely to be a free experience package.

"It seems that the performance of infantry in battle cannot be counted on."

Karl had a headache. If they were to cover such an army, the task would be very heavy.

From Sassnitz to Oslo, they had to circle the Baltic Sea, follow the Danish coastline, pass through many fjords, and finally sail into the Oslofjord.

The journey was long, taking nearly a week.

During the raid on Le Havre not long ago, Karl and his squadron had been adrift on the ship for more than a month. It was also a difficult time, but fortunately they were alone on a merchant ship.

But this time, I was with a large group of low-quality infantry, and there would inevitably be some friction between the two sides, especially a few drunkards. up.

This group of drunkards seemed like they had never seen a woman before, but Carl wasn't too worried. He could beat ten with one just by using the body strengthening technique, and this group of people was really not enough to beat them.

In the end, the result of the siege was as expected. The six members of the 1033 Squadron were unharmed, while the more than 30 members on the opposite side were all bruised and bruised.

There was no military police on board, and the highest rank was a major battalion commander. This guy wanted to confine the six members of the 1033 squadron, and Karl stepped forward to stop him on the spot.

This is not to protect the calf, it is because the opponent made a mistake first, and if they can't fight, they curl up into a ball and cry by themselves.

The incident became a big mess for a time, and those policemen incited the infantry to petition collectively, and they didn't know where they borrowed the courage to demand that General Pogheim severely punish the 1033 Squadron.

However, this was according to Karl's wish. When they docked to replenish fresh water, General Bogheim directly called Karl to give a lecture.
