Chapter 1306： 3rd Army Regiment

Since the coalition forces of all eight princes are acting according to the script, then Marin cannot be delayed. Because, time has entered September. In half a month, the four provinces that used phosphate fertilizer in East Friesland, Oldenburg, West Friesland, and North Münster will have rye ripening ahead of schedule. If you do not counterattack in time, it will affect the autumn harvest.

Therefore, Marin called Kohler to order:

"Notify Steindorff that you can close the net!"

Steindorff is the head of the Third Army, and the Third Army is also the most infiltrated army in the North Sea. Before Marin made Steindorff act, he was afraid that the noble officers in the Third Army would leak the secrets. Therefore, he asked Steindorff to take the horseback and confront some of the Second Army's horsemen.

At the same time, both Kohler and Sauer sent a large number of civilian and military spies to investigate which officers of the Third Army were eating out.

In addition to investigating these people, Marin also arranged a group of graduates of the Junior Officer Class, secretly traveled to Schleswig Province, ready to replace those betrayed officers at any time. After all, if they were removed, they would have to be replaced by officers.

As for why not promote locally, it is not that Marin does not want it, but the lack of so many literate officers ...

Why did Marin solicit those noble knights from the nobility as officers? It's not because the literacy rate in Germany was too low in this era. Most of the literate people are nobles, priests and wealthy businessmen.

But if Marin could not recruit the priest as an officer, the businessmen's children were too careful and belonged to Qi Jiguang's "rejection" group. Therefore, Marin can only choose to recruit wandering knights who are literate and have military theoretical foundations.

But Marin did not expect that the wandering knights of these nobles thought so much that they wanted to betray themselves. But Marin had no choice at the time, because he really had no suitable candidates.

As for ordinary soldiers of civilian origin? Even if Marin arranged literacy classes in the army, the results would be limited. After all, the problem of illiteracy and military theory cannot be changed overnight.

Fortunately, Marin had started a junior military officer crash course, and now there are many graduates available.

The graduates of these young junior officer crash courses are still very young and immature, but they also have a solid theoretical foundation. What they lack is actual combat experience. But this is not a problem, because the coalition of eight princes is a good opponent who sharpens the war experience, and is not afraid of overturning.

After all, in this war, the Third Army was not the protagonist. Even if dozens of officers were exchanged, it affected the combat effectiveness for a while.

After receiving Marin's secret order, Steindorff remained silent. Then, that night, he held a few banquets and specially sent people to invite the people on the list ...

In the evening, dozens of people on the list arrived. Steindorff first looked at the list, then counted, and found that the target characters had arrived. So he didn't say anything and let people eat directly.

After eating, Steindorff wiped his mouth, saying:

"This meal is the last meal I have with you ..."

As soon as the words fell, a large number of soldiers suddenly poured out around the restaurant, and dozens of officers who betrayed Beihai were still subdued.

Before taking the seat, the weapons of these officers were dropped by the guards. At this time, they were all fisted with bare hands, and they were unable to resist in the face of the sharp swords and guns of the guards. Unless, they want to be sifted by a musket.

At this moment, an officer who had heard Marin tell a historical story suddenly changed his face:

"Hong ...... door banquet ......"

Steindorff smiled and said:

"Yes, it's" Hongmen Banquet "! It seems that you have a good knowledge, but since you have this knowledge, why should you betray the North Sea Country?" At the end, Steindorff was already full of face.

"You ... you don't betray ..." The officer stuttered.

"No, you are wrong. I have always been a loyal minister of the North Sea Kingdom! You do not want to think about the leader of the Wharton formation. I was promoted from a mountain hunter by Steindorff to a high official like the head of the army. Sealed hereditary nobility, will I betray Beihai so easily? "

"Then ... why do you pretend to betrayal ..." The leader of the square called Wharton asked puzzled.

"Because I want to confuse you assholes!" Steindorff took it for granted.

"Master Steindorff, even if you catch us, it may not be useful. Except for myself, my company is loyal to me. If I find something wrong, my company will make trouble." One called Nowitz's company captain shrugged.

Steindorff was not in a hurry, but smiled and said:

"I know, you manage your company like a railway. But it doesn't matter, my people, at this moment have almost surrounded your company station. If you are willing to continue to obey the order, you will naturally be safe. If you keep ordering ... Ha ha……"

……

While Steindorff was "chatting" with the group of betrayed officers, Steindorff's men's close friends mobilized 5,000 soldiers and horses, and surrounded the barracks of the betrayed officers.

In addition, the two thousand Cossacks that Arthas sent to support the Third Army also appeared on the side of the camp to help plunder ...

"All the fighters of the 8th Phalanx B Company listened to the order, and from now on, Mr. Herz will take over as the company captain of your company!" The subpoena had just finished speaking, and a young man of about 20 years old stood Before the eighth Phalanx B company's camp, waiting for the report. And this eighth phalanx B company is precisely the company of Nowitz.

"Why? Our Captain Nowitzki has done a good job, why should we change this doll to replace him?" Nowitzki is right, he still has a lot of loyalty in this company.

The official said with no expression:

"I am here to announce the order, not to solicit your opinions. Either obey or accept the sanctions!"

"Do you think I dare not make trouble?" Hamil, Nowitz's loyal adjutant, exasperated.

The herald ’s face remained unchanged, but he repeated:

"Either obey or accept sanctions!"

Then, a team suddenly poured in, and hundreds of muskets were aimed at Hamir ’s adjutant ...

"This ... you are too arrogant, actually aiming the gun at your comrades?" Hamill was also dumbfounded. He knew the military regulations, and one of them was that he would never allow his guns to be directed at his comrades.

After a few moments of silence, the herald explained:

"Nowitz company captain is suspected of betrayal and has been controlled. You, as his subordinates for many years, also have the suspicion of following betrayal. So, we just prevent you from following the rebellion, and there is no intention of cruel comrades. Also, replace Nowitz The order is the order directly issued by the military department of the Beihai State. You must execute it. Otherwise, it will be regarded as treason! Once you treason, you will no longer be our comrades, understand? "

Hamil opened his mouth and then refused to say:

"But he, Lord of the Legion, also betrayed the Beihai Kingdom? Why accept the order of the military department?"

The Herald said impatiently:

"Admiral's" Betrayal "is also carried out according to the instructions of the Ministry of Military Affairs. I have no time to grind with you. Hurry up and decide whether to accept the order. If you accept, then put down all your weapons and accept the new company captain. No, we Just fire! "

Because it is not wartime, at this time, although the soldiers of the eighth phalanx B company also have weapons, they are all cold weapons. And the preparation is insufficient, there is no general. Hamill's face struggled for a long time, but still chose to cooperate, obediently surrendered his weapons, and accepted the new company captain. After all, he is not stupid. The company that surrounds B company outside has three times the strength. Company B not only lost the general, but also had no chance to line up to face the battle. If it is stubborn, there must be no place for burial.

However, not everyone knows current affairs like Hamill. Some companies, even the phalanx, have shown disobedience ...

"Do you really not accept orders?" Tie Qing, a herald, asked with a face ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I will never accept it! I only loyal to our company captain! "A second cargo deputy stubbornly said.

"Well, kill him!"

The herald waved his hand, and then this stubborn adjutant was shot like a sieve like Xu Wenqiang ...

……

This night, the Third Army Corps was extremely lively. After hundreds of deaths and injuries, the situation finally settled down. Fortunately, most people are aware of the current affairs and are accustomed to obey the orders of their superiors. Therefore, only a few hundred heads and two tendons insist on being with the betrayed boss. Then, it was directly washed away by blood ...

As for the betrayed military officer detained at the "Hongmen Banquet", he was not executed, but was temporarily imprisoned and awaiting trial afterwards.

On the next day, all the troops belonging to the betrayed officers were disbanded and reorganized to avoid the previous small groups from continuing to engage in groups. Although most of them were kept up to date and obey orders, Steindorff was not willing to take risks. Therefore, it is necessary to break up and reorganize them.

And after Steindorff completed the large-scale cleaning of the Third Army, he immediately sent someone to speed up the horse, and hurried back to Aurich to send the letter ...

"Finally, the cleaning was completed! Now, I don't worry about being stabbed by someone behind me!" Marin saw the information and knew that everything went well, and he was relieved.
