Chapter 917: The reverse operation of choosing a Cossack
After the plan is formulated, personnel are needed to implement it. These implementers are naturally Cossack cavalry. Of course, they will never be pure Eastern European Cossacks.
After all, the native Cossacks in Eastern Europe were a group of scumbags who were uncontrollable. Therefore, Marin believed that Germans must be the main focus to effectively control them.
Of course, for those scumbags, Marin had some weapons against them - spirits...
Like the first batch of Cossacks, the two thousand new Cossack tycoons immediately lost all their integrity under the spicy offensive of whiskey (Rye Erguotou).
For several days, Marin asked these Cossacks to drink Erguotou and eat braised pork every day. Such a corrupt life quickly corroded the thieves. Although they were prisoners, they did not have the consciousness to be prisoners at all. As long as Marin gave them drinks and meat, they would be willing to work hard for Marin.
At the same time, in the past few days, Marin took the opportunity to send people to the Cossack village on the Jutland Peninsula and called over the leaders of the 10 German Cossack villages.
According to Marin's idea, each Cossack village is actually a collection of a 100-man team of Cossack cavalry. These Cossacks usually serve the people and send troops during wartime, while the village chief is the centurion during wartime.
In order to build his own Cossack village, Marin specially selected 1,000 German youths who were proficient in riding and divided them into 10 Cossack villages to grazing and practice horse wars on the Jutland Peninsula.
However, the cavalry trained in these 10 Cossack villages did not look like Cossacks at all, but were like ordinary German light cavalry. Therefore, Marin decided to introduce real Cossacks to bring passion and passion to these dull German boys.
However, compared with those real Cossacks, these silent and obedient German Cossacks are the people Marin truly trusts.
Therefore, even if Cossacks were sent to America, Marin would never allow those real Cossacks to storm on the Pampas grasslands. Otherwise, those Cossacks would be independent from control.
...
This time, when Marin sent troops to the Pampas grassland, he planned to dispatch 1,000 troops. Among them, 500 were infantrymen. These infantrymen were mainly responsible for defending the safety of the people in the agricultural reclamation areas and residential areas near Buenos Aires. The other 500 were Cossack cavalry. Their mission was to sweep away the Indian indigenous people near Buenos Aires. No indigenous people could escape in front of the cavalry's sabers.
For the 500 Cossack cavalry personnel, Marin originally planned to have half of the German Cossacks and the original Cossacks. However, considering that this was a killing conquest, the genuine Cossacks might be easier to do. So Marin modified the personnel ratio - 500 Cossack cavalry, only 100 of them were German Cossacks, and the remaining 400 were all genuine Cossacks.
Of course, the commander of this cavalry team must be the German Cossack. Otherwise, Marin would not be able to control it.
So, Marin called the leaders of the 10 Cossack villages to come over, but they were actually the generals. After investigation, Marin selected a Cossack village chief named Markenson as the commander of the 500 cavalry. In fact, Marin chose this because his surname was the same as that of the German cavalry marshal Markens during World War I. He was a civilian descendant of the knight family, so he had a surname. His full name was John Markensen. Marin thought that the name was very "Caval Marshal", so he chose him as the main general. The deputy general was another Cossack village chief named Agamand. The two would each move to the Pampas grassland with 50 subordinates and their families.
After arriving at the Pampas grassland, the 500 Cossack cavalry will be divided into two parts, led by two people, and divided their troops to sweep away the indigenous tribes near Buenos Aires. The 50 subordinates they each brought will become the backbone of their control over the entire Cossack team.
In order to make it easier for them to control the cavalry, Marin specially spent several days selecting the right genuine Cossack subordinates for them.
Of course, what Marin chose for them was not the bravest Cossack, but the most obedient Cossack. After all, the combat effectiveness of the South American Indian natives was too poor. Marin did not need the Cossacks to be too brave, but needed them to continue to be under their control.
Therefore, during the next period, Marin continued to feast the Cossacks every day, and then allowed the Anche Cossack youth to communicate with each other.
As a result, the Cossack young people were automatically divided into more than a dozen social circles and there were invisible leaders. Each social circle had several leading figures. These people seemed to be born leaders...
However, none of these natural leaders were considered by Marin. Because among Marin's Cossack cavalry, the leader could only be the Germans...
Therefore, these dozens of naturally-leader-like Cossacks were all on Marin's blacklist. In the future, these people will be under key surveillance and will not have any chance to lead troops alone. However, those ordinary Cossacks who have no opinions and only follow the crowd have become Marin's choice targets.
In just a few days, Marin sent his spies to observe the Cossacks carefully, selected 400 less-than-doubted Cossacks, and joined the team of Markenson and Agamander.
Of course, after joining the team, their first thing was to learn German, and then to receive queue training, and learn a lot of rules. Fortunately, the thorns were secretly eliminated, and the queue training of Markens and Agamander went smoothly, and no one exploded the thorns. After all, these people themselves are not thorns.
...
Marin was very proud of this result. This method of selecting soldiers is actually a reverse operation. Generally speaking, if you want to select talents, you should choose those born with leadership, such as those leading figures in more than a dozen circles.
But the problem is that they are aliens and are not trusted by Marin. Therefore, Marin made a reverse operation and eliminated all aliens with leadership temperament, leaving only those who follow the crowd. In this way, it is not easy for alien officers to lead troops to rebel.
In view of the successful trial, Marin decided that every time he recruited Cossacks, he would use this method to secretly eliminate the Cossack leaders, retain only the unintentional Cossacks, and integrate into the cavalry team of German officers. In this way, the Cossack cavalry will be used by Marin.
