The Scottish Legion was the latest legion established by the North Sea Kingdom, and its main body was the Scottish Highlanders infantry prisoners. Frankly speaking, these people may not be very loyal to the North Sea Kingdom. Therefore, in this newly established Sixth Legion, Marin specially transferred 3,000 elite veterans, combined 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 Heinx with the help of three thousand German veterans.
Fortunately, when Marin was selecting the Scottish Highland Infantry, he kicked out all officers and Scotland with leadership. Therefore, no one left these Scottish Highland Infantry who had no opinion had the ability to "climb the high and call". The few small riots at the beginning of its establishment were easily suppressed because no one responded.
Now, two years later, Heinx has better control of the 7,000 Scottish Highland Infantry of the Sixth Legion.
Of course, the outside world did not know that Heinx had completely controlled the Sixth Army. Because Heinx was too young, only in his twenties. At this age, in the traditional German army, he had just become a squad leader or a heavy armored knight.
Germany has always had a tradition of trusting the elderly, and it is difficult for young people to emerge. Because the Germans are more pragmatic and will not let you take on great responsibilities without years of experience. Just like the Chinese tradition says, "You are hairless and you don't do things in a solid manner", the stereotyped Germans also trust older people more.
Therefore, the princes of various countries were not optimistic about the young Heinx, and they had been waiting to see Heinx's jokes for a long time. After all, the situation of the Sixth Legion was special, and most of the soldiers were Scottish surrendered soldiers, which was difficult to control.
If there are problems with several legions of the North Sea Kingdom, the one that should be most problematic is the Sixth Legion, which is mainly Scottish surrendered troops. Therefore, if Marin wants to show weakness, he must first let the Sixth Legion "have problems"...
And how to make the Sixth Legion "had a problem"? Of course, it was pretending to be a mutiny...
However, Marin was worried that if the "mustache" was not controlled well, it might become a real mutiny. So he called several legion commanders to discuss how to act.
Stad thought about Marin's concern and suggested:
"Or why do I draw 5,000 elite veterans from the First Legion to go south and secretly support and protect. If there is a mutiny, I will suppress it decisively?"
Schwartz nodded repeatedly:
"Well, this idea is good, safe, and safe. So, how do you make the Sixth Legion look mutiny?"
"We can conduct internal exercises and pretend to be bombing camps. Then, chase and escape to the north. The theme of the Sixth Legion is the Scottish people. According to common sense, if the Scottish infantry really mutiny, they should return to their hometown. Therefore, their "escape" route should be to go north, and then seize ships at Emden Port and cross the sea to Scotland..." Heinx said.
"But the problem is that it seems that an officer in the Sixth Army was bribed. If you 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.
"Or what, I will order the arrest of people directly? Anyway, my subordinates have found out which ones are wrong. Just control them directly to avoid leaking the news." Shaoer suggested.
"It's inappropriate. If there is no news, it will be abnormal and will make those princes suspicious." Schwartz retorted.
"Or what if I deliberately let those traitors take a leave and then take action?" Heinx suggested.
"No, if those traitors take a vacation together, the enemy might guess that those people were exposed." Kohler immediately objected.
Looking at the arguments, Marin thought about it, recalled the plot of the TV series in his previous life, and suddenly said:
"Let's do this, before the action, we control the traitors and use their lives and their families to threaten them to pass false news to the princes who have won them."
Several people thought about it and all agreed. But Kohler raised objections:
"What if those princes send people to verify in person? Generally speaking, the ones who come to verify the news are often their fathers and brothers."
"This is simple, so those people shirk their disbelief and say, 'Because of the mutiny in the army, all officers are not allowed to leave the barracks half a step'. In this way, people can avoid contact with them."
When everyone thinks, the army has mutinyed, can the officers leave the barracks at will? This excuse has no flaws...
So, everyone agreed to this plan, allowing Heinx to conduct internal confrontation exercises, chase and escape, and then "take" the ship to sea at Port Emden. But the destination of the sea was actually a secret camp on the East Frisia Peninsula. In this way, when the war began, they could quickly return to their homeland to fight without being too far away.
...
"But it is not enough to have problems with the Sixth Legion. After all, there are three main legions in the local area, and those princes are not opponents. Moreover, the Sixth Legion is dominated by Scots, and there is still a reason for mutiny. The other three legions are German legions, so there is no reason for mutiny..." Schwartz said worriedly.
"Also, England also has two of our legions. If it is transferred back to the land, even if the coalition of princes comes, it is not enough. Just one new legion has problems, it is probably not enough..." Stade said.
"What do you mean is to let two more legions have problems?" Marin asked.
"It is probably not enough for two legions to have problems. At least more than three legions have problems, so those princes dare to take action." Schwartz and Stad said together.
The other people also nodded one after another. The Beihai Kingdom Legion belongs to a modern army and has strong combat power. Even if there are only two corpses of 20,000, those princes are no match. After all, those princes generally have only a few thousand permanent troops in the country, and they will force thousands of civilians to recruit soldiers during wartime. Even so, they will raise up to 30,000 to 40,000. But in terms of combat effectiveness, they may not be as good as the two 10,000 corps of the Beihai Kingdom.
"That means, we have to let the four legions have problems?" Marinsi said.
Several people nodded...
Marin suddenly had a bright eye and said:
"A while ago, King Edward of the British secretly grabbed Sakala and Siwag and led the Fourth and Fifth Legions to England. Just so happened that I asked Sakala and Siwag to pretend to surrender to England. In this way, these two legions do not seem to be from the North Sea Kingdom."
"This is a good idea..." Several people nodded in agreement.
"But, don't backfire. It's really a matter of letting the two legions belong to Edward!" Saul said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Sakala and Sivag know that I'm not dead and will not really go to England. After all, they don't mention their loyalty, and they are afraid that I will lead my troops to settle the score with them." Marin has four legions in his hands, so it's no problem to deal with the Fourth and Fifth legions. Moreover, Sakala is Marin's iron-core, and the rebellion may be very small. Even Sakala's family is in Orich City.
"What about the remaining first, second and third legions? These are all old legions of the Beihai Kingdom, so there is no reason to mutiny..." Schwartz said.
