German Eagle: Steel and Magic

Chapter 33 Civilian Requirements for the Army

"The school has an order that all students of the 73rd Magister Training Class will cancel their summer vacation. You are about to perform a seven-month military internship, and then return to school for graduation."

Kamartov's words were astonishing, and all the students began to complain again and again. After all, it was only a short time since the second grade, and they had to go directly to the army for internship.

"Okay, let me tell you the good news. You can take off the rank of trainee non-commissioned officer during the probation period, and you will wear the rank of corporal. When you graduate, you will report to the assigned unit with the rank of sergeant. This will be of great help to your future units. There are great benefits to life."

As Kamartov said, the advantage of non-commissioned officer schools is that they can have a higher starting point after graduation, rather than starting as a logistics or trainee soldier.

This is indeed great news for them. The purpose of their coming to Parisino Non-commissioned Officer Academy is to obtain a higher military rank and then start their military career.

Skip the internship and be directly promoted to a sergeant, which means that they have a higher salary and status than others just after graduation, and they will rise to the top in the future. Of course, the rise to the top is their own idea.

In the entire training class, only Carl has a serious face. Recently, there have been frequent frictions between countries, and wars may break out at any time. Going for an internship during this period of time... is most likely to participate in the war.

You know, war is unreasonable.

Whether you are a fresh graduate or not, whether you are ready or not, enemy bullets and magic will end a life without hesitation.

Moreover, the second grade is the key learning time for aviation mages, and now they go to the battlefield half-way, and they will die miserably...

"Okay, okay, before you always asked me to tell some stories about the war, I don't think it's time yet, but now, you are about to become real soldiers of the German Empire, so I will tell you something that actually happened."

Kamartov's tone suddenly became calm, which was in great contrast to his usual vigorous and vigorous personality, and the students also calmed down very wisely.

Kamartov told two impressive stories,

The first story was also a story he heard from a senior, because he didn’t do enough maintenance on the rifle before the battle, and it got stuck in a key battle. kill.

Kamartov told everyone that firearms are their second life, and they must be fully grasped.

The second story is his own experience. At that time, he was a squad leader. He was ambushed by the Franks during a patrol mission. He led the team members to break out of the encirclement quickly, but one of the team members’ air vehicles was hit. He is incapacitated and needs rescue.

Kamartov didn't even think about asking the whole team to rescue him. In the end, the team member who lost his mobility was rescued successfully, but at the cost of the sacrifice of the other two team members...

"On the battlefield, the only things you can trust are your guns, your magic bracelets, your air vehicles! And your luckiest team members."

Kamartov's second story did not make everyone give up saving their players, but told everyone that they need to think about countermeasures, not just let others take risks to make substitutions.

Karl also recognized the story of instructor Kamartov very much, and after returning to the dormitory, he began to re-establish the training plan.

You know, Karl and his party are all students of the aviation mage training class. As long as they enter the front line, they will be urgently called for conscription at the first moment of the war. After all, aviation mages are a good combat force.At this time, the German Empire should have a comprehensive war plan.

At this time, an urgent internal meeting was being held in the Central Army Staff Headquarters, and the atmosphere was a little tense, because just as Karl thought, the war plan was about to be deployed.

"Colonel Clayton, please explain the logistics deployment of the Ministry of Defense."

In the conference room, there was a tall, thin man with a mustache, and the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders showed his status, and it was Rikel von Kleinton who was being questioned.

He is the Chief of the General Staff of the Central Army of the German Empire and the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of the German Empire. He is a real big shot.

Clayton got up, and the adjutant next to him pasted a map on the blackboard. Clayton cleared his throat and began to speak.

The area shown on the map is the entire communication line of the German Empire, a densely packed area.

"The current western defense line is divided into the south and the north. The south is easy to defend and difficult to attack because it is separated by the Lin River, so the main goal of the empire is the Alsace region in the north.

There is a high probability that the Franks will invest heavily in the Alsace region, so future battles will definitely be very tense.

Then the main work becomes logistical support. According to the plan of the Ministry of Defense, we will optimize the railway line, especially the northern region, from Berlin to Brandenburg, then to Hamburg, then Lower Saxony, North Rhine state.

The Cologne-Mulheim railway line was then used to resupply the troops in Rhineland and Baden-Württemberg.

At the same time, the supply lines in Bavaria, Hesse, Saxony, and Thuringia are transported in reverse from east to west and from south to north to form a loop, which can improve the efficiency of transportation and is also in the battle. At this time, we can quickly achieve the complementarity of resources from east and west..."

Colonel Clayton planned the entire logistics support plan very completely, which was also nodded and approved by everyone in the conference room.

"So transportation is mainly based on the railway line. The main problem now is how to ensure the safety of the railway line. The Franks should have planned it in advance. It is impossible for us to spend a lot of energy to investigate the lurking Franks in all aspects."

Lieutenant General Hollinger lit a cigar and said lightly.

"If possible, I hope that the militia can be used to protect the road along the railway line, so as to avoid the destruction of some Franks." Colonel Clayton said with a serious expression.

"Now that the reserve divisions have been mobilized one after another, it is difficult for the militia to assemble a combat-capable team. Besides, after the war, human resources will be very tight. I am afraid that the safety along the railway line cannot be guaranteed." Lieutenant General Hollinger said lightly.

As the chief of staff, he knows the situation of the empire too well. War is a kind of consumption, not only materials, but also personnel.

"If that's the case, then we have to use aviation mages. They have enough mobility, and the patrol range of a small team can reach more than [-] kilometers." Clayton pushed his glasses.

"It should not be an aviation mage for combat." Lieutenant General Hollinger looked at Clayton, knowing that he hadn't finished speaking.

"Of course not, aviation mages are a scarce resource, we can change the curriculum of the non-commissioned officer academy and let students take on patrol tasks.

At the same time, some requirements are lowered, and infantry mages are allowed to use air vehicles to patrol. Although their combat ability will be poor, if they are just patrolling, there should be no problem. After all, the requirements of civilian air vehicles, the pilot only needs to have 60 Bel magic power The value is fine. "

Before Clayton could finish his idea, the entire meeting room immediately became noisy. It was not because the trainees were asked to take on patrol tasks, but because they were recruiting a team of military aviation mages at the request of civilian vehicle pilots.

This has no precedent in the use of mages in the German Empire.
