Like the Cossacks, Marin did not intend to let the Hungarians take charge of the four Hungarian cavalry divisions, but appointed all Germans. Even the Hungarian Ruzak, who was very optimistic about Marin, was just the deputy commander of the First Cavalry Division. As for the main officers of the Cavalry Division, Marin planned to draw cavalry officers from the Cossacks to serve as the Cossacks.
Although those officers from the German Cossacks did not know how to use warhammers and shields, this did not prevent them from fighting with Hungarian light cavalry who only knew how to use warhammers. After all, officers may not necessarily rush to the front line, and it is okay to stand on the side to give orders.
Of course, simple German officers cannot control the Hungarian cavalry well. Therefore, Marin would choose a group of Hungarian surrenderers who sincerely surrendered to him like Ruzak, as deputys, to assist German officers in managing the army. Moreover, Marin would never choose those with high prestige Hungarian cavalry as adjutants, but choose those with low prestige and sincere surrender. In this way, the Hungarian cavalry would not easily join forces. After all, the official is a German, and the adjutant is still a surrender who has no prestige, so it is difficult to gather the Hungarian cavalry. As for the question of whether to command or not, this is not a problem. There are harsh military disciplines there...
Therefore, after these Hungarian cavalry gradually came into place, the first step was not to train cavalry warfare, but to train infantry ranks. At least, it was necessary to confirm that these people obeyed discipline before they could officially become cavalry.
Moreover, Marin doesn't have so many war horses for them at the moment, and he still needs to buy them in the Crimean Khanate. It is definitely not possible to use German local horses. Moreover, buying 10,000 war horses and a pack horse replaced with a very big noise. Even if you go to Hungary, it is not possible to buy them. There is Vladislas II's territory, which will still leak secrets. Only by purchasing them from the Crimean Khanate, a pagan force that basically does not interact with other European countries, can it be kept confidential.
To transport the war horses bought from the Crimean Khanate, you only need to go through your in-laws and ally to the Kingdom of Poland. Then, 10,000 war horses will be transported back to the country through the ports along the Baltic Sea. However, the 10,000 pack horses that were transferred to passengers will be swaying and returning to the country by land. The external explanation is that the Beihai Kingdom needs many slow horses to promote horse farming...
But as long as there is no large number of war horses introduced, other countries will not care. The only Poland that knows about it is an allies and will not talk nonsense.
Moreover, in normal years, Marin actually introduced many Eastern European Mongolian horses, thousands of horses a year. As long as Marin is not so stupid that he introduces all horses at once, but introduces them in several times, it is not very eye-catching. After all, he does this too.
Just so happened that a batch of cattle and horse ships were built in the Americas that specialize in transporting cattle and horses. They originally planned to send them to Persia. But now they are urgently used by the local area, so Marin sent a clutch to the New York Shipyard to send orders to transfer the first batch of cattle and horse ships back to the country and to go to the coast of Poland to transport the 10,000 war horses.
The Long Island Shipyard in New York has built 10 cattle and horse ships, each of which can be loaded with 160 horses or 160 cattle at a time. If 10 ships are together, 1,600 horses can be transported at a time, and 10,000 horses can be transported in a few times. Moreover, it is relatively close to the coast of Poland to the coast of the North Sea, and it is not long to go back and forth several times. At least, it will not delay the war with France.
As for the current Hungarian cavalry before the horses were in place, Marin planned to train the horses of the Eastern European Mongolian horses of the Crimean Khanate. Although these horses did not have explosive power, they were better at being honest and obedient. At worst, they did not practice rushing now, but they could still contact the marching of the transition. After all, under normal circumstances, the army marching is indeed mainly based on pack horses, and war horses are very expensive and need to rest more often in normal times.
In this way, because the Hungarian cavalry currently has basically no horses, and even trains to go to nearby villages to borrow horses to pick them up. Therefore, even the First and Second Corps stationed in the core area of ​​the North Sea Kingdom, the First and Second Corps, which were stationed in the East Friesland Province, were not discovered by foreign spies and added 2,500 cavalry. After all, the horses were not in place yet.
Moreover, Marin deliberately did not let these Hungarian cavalry wear black cross white vests representing the regular army of the North Sea Kingdom, but instead let them wear gray linen vests representing the military and civilians, which made them even more inconspicuous. The foreign spies found that the First Legion and the Second Legion were training a group of "civilians", and they thought that these "civilians" were mainly used for grain protection teams.
The so-called grain protection team actually refers to the fact that when civilians transport military rations, they will select the strongest group of people holding weapons and guarding them from the side to avoid the enemy's food being taken away.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of these grain protection teams is very average and easy to escape. It is okay to deal with small groups of enemy troops or bandits along the road that covets the grain transportation team. There is no way to encounter the enemy's large troops. Even if the grain protection team trains a little more, they can delay the failure time for a while, so they can just wait for reinforcements. Because most of the grain protection team members are farmers, not full-time soldiers, and they usually have to go back to farm. Especially for spring plowing and autumn harvest, they must go back to work. Therefore, the training time of the grain protection team's husbands is not guaranteed. Moreover, they are not qualified to live in the camp, and they can only camp in the corner outside the camp. Only in wartime are they allowed to stay in the promise to avoid being hit by the enemy first and causing chaos.
Marin made people put these Hungarian cavalry on gray linen vests and set up a small camp beside the camp, which made foreign spies mistakenly think that they were from the grain protection team among the civilians.
But Marin knew that this would be a mistake sooner or later. When the war horses arrived, the Third and Sixth Legions would be fine. The First and Second Legions would definitely be paid attention to by foreign spies. Therefore, we still have to find good excuses and remarks...
Just when Marin was worried about how to hide these Hungarian cavalry and find excuses, he delivered them to his door...

"Your Majesty, Principal Arthas is asking for a visit!"
"Arsace?" Marin was surprised for a moment, and suddenly recalled the filial son who held the sadness of Frost, but soon he recalled that this was not the Lich King, but the former commander of the Cossack Cavalry Legion...
However, because of poor performance in the war, Marin had replaced him with Jurgen as the commander of the new Cossack Cavalry Legion.
But for the first legion commander, Marin did not let him stay under Jurgen's command and was humiliated, but transferred him away to manage the cavalry school. Although the principal of the cavalry school had no military power, he was also at the same level as Jurgen, the legion commander.
The so-called cavalry school refers to a school that specializes in training young cavalry after defeating the coalition of the eight-nation princes and annexing the Duchy of Lüneburg, using the Lüneburg grassland with an area of ​​more than 7,000 square kilometers as a base.
Even Marin moved 5,000 Cossack cavalry and their families to live in the name of "tribal migration". Then, Marin selected suitable young men with a cavalry foundation from the whole country and entered this school to train them. The direction they trained was different from the knights of this era. They did not learn the sledge of the plate armored knights, but instead learned the martial arts of the light cavalry, but also learned the tactics of the lances. In short, they were trained according to the requirements of the lances, and similar to the Polish wing cavalry, belonging to the breastplate cavalry between the plate armored knights deteriorating the light cavalry.
