For the governments of the alliance countries and even the military forces of each country, it is almost impossible to deprive an officer of his military status.

Things have to start with the alliance's creation.

At that time, the nobles of all major and small in the republics were unwilling to be banned and they all raised flags to fight for separatist rule.

For a moment, the beacon was everywhere in the bay, and the newborn alliance was like a candle in the wind.

It seems that the Republican regime is about to usher in her doomsday just now.

But the Senas League also had an army, an army led by Ned Smith. At that time, the Senas only called that army the "United Army".

The regime was found in the barrel of a gun, and at that time the nobles and rebels from all over the country had not realized this: the Alliance Army itself was the hardest rebels on this land.

Faced with the Alliance Army formed in blood and fire, even the "butcher" Duke Allyn had to end up losing his troops. Who else was the opponent of the Alliance Army on the bay?

The cannons flattened the towers, the tunnels shattered the castles, and all the armed nobles were easily suppressed and wiped out by the Alliance Army.

As the openly rebellious counts were hung onto the city by the Alliance Army one by one, the remaining old ruling classes realized that fighting by force was seeking death.

So they rely on the forces that are intricately integrated in the local areas and took the initiative to enter local parliaments and began to play party politics.

In those years, the political ecology of the republics was very ridiculous.

The aristocratic forces gradually occupied local councils, and the large city where the new republic regime was located was like an isolated island in the vast ocean.

The so-called elected parliamentarians were nothing more than old nobles changing clothes, and the army became the backbone of the democratic republic.

Calls like "Liquidate the crimes of the Alliance Army during the sovereign war!", "Judge Ned Smith!" were one after another.

On the banks of the Bay of Senas, there is a smell of a country surrounding the city, a regime that evolves peacefully, and welcomes the emperor's return.

Based on the consideration of protecting the army and also worrying about the counterattack of the old noble forces after seizing power, the governments of the republic gave their troops to a considerable degree of power.

The Alliance Army of that period was indeed the last barrier of the birth of the Republic.

The old aristocratic forces tried to reverse history repeatedly, but were eventually crushed by the military of the Republic.

The Supreme Council of United Province alone has been forcibly banned by the army three times, and the story of "bombing the State Palace" is still passed down by the citizens of Guitu.

But this powerful drug also has many sequelae, one of which is that the United Provincial Army finally formed its own system, so it was so big that it was too big today.

The constitutional amendment to "except for treason and espionage crimes, no officers shall be deprived of military qualifications" was also adopted at the same time.

As long as an officer does not treason or become a spy, no matter what he does, even if his miscommand command destroys thousands of soldiers, he cannot be kicked out of the army.

This is the ultimate protection for Union officers.

But this amendment also indirectly led to a result: no matter how fierce an officer offends a big man, the other party cannot expel him from military origin.

So those lower-level officers who are not liked by the top leaders only have two places to go:

Either they were thrown into the overseas military region and became a glorious overseas dispatcher; or they were transferred to the War History Office, sat on the bench, and reviewed War History.

These two are unwritten customs of the military forces of the republic.

The overseas dispatched troops are military organs directly under the alliance government and are not under the jurisdiction of any franchise state. Going there means losing the identity of soldiers of the republics, and they have always gone but never returned.

Later historians who do not understand the unspoken rules will always find it very strange when reading the history of the Alliance Army during this period.

Compared with the praises and boasting about the history of the imperial war, the words of the war history written by the Alliance Army are sarcastic, sarcastic tone, and the sour gas between the lines is almost liquefied into a physical body.

And our Lieutenant Colonel John Jeska is also a particularly hated type among the officers hated by the top leaders.

So twelve years ago he was transferred from the Palatu army to the overseas military headquarters, where he was responsible for the revision of war history.

...

When we first met, the three lieutenants certainly did not know about Lieutenant Colonel Jeska's legendary life "going back and returning".

But when he heard from the lieutenant colonel that he had just returned home from overseas, Bud immediately figured out what was going on.

Bad whispered: "Sir, this Lieutenant Montane and this Lieutenant Cellini are from Venetta. And I am from the United Provinces."

"The Venettas ran to Palathu to serve?" Lieutenant Colonel Jeska asked in confusion: "Is it not that the Land Court is now 'from where to go', but that the distribution is broken?"

Well, it seems that this person really doesn't know the inside story. Bard explained the lieutenant colonel to the lieutenant colonel in a concise way.

"I have heard of the conflict between the United Provinces and Veneta overseas." After hearing the story, the lieutenant colonel also sighed: "You are really unlucky and are caught in the crack."

...

After the disbanding of the queue, the lieutenant colonel was working tirelessly to check the arsenal again.

Because he did not need to be responsible for the battle, after coming to Shuangqiao Camp, Winters and his men discussed and collected the weapons and equipment of the three hundred-man teams for unified storage.

The temporary arsenal is located in a prefabricated house, led by an experienced treacherous chief Malcolm, who is in charge of the supervision.

As early as when we gathered, Malcolm realized that the new captain was not a good commander.

After disbanding, he hurried to the arsenal with the militia in this tent with cleaning tools and prepared to clean up the warehouse.

Lieutenant Colonel Jeska walked to the arsenal with three lieutenants and happened to encounter a militia in the warehouse cleaning.

Seeing his subordinates sharpening their guns in the face of battle, Winters and others couldn't help but blush.

The lieutenant colonel waved his hand unconsciously: "No need to be busy, the arsenal is not a banquet hall."

Winters asked the tenth men of Guanku to get a list: "The three hundred-man spears, halberds, swords, shields, muskets, and ammunition are all here."

"Mixed?" Jeska raised his eyebrows.

"It's a mixed-up." Winters nodded.

Under normal circumstances, each 100-man team in the legion will be equipped with the same weapons and equipment. The Long-Salute Team has only the Long-Salute Team, and the Musket Team has only the Muskets, and they will only be mixed when they reach the brigade level.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! This design is for legion-level battles, and soldiers using different weapons are formed separately, making it more convenient for commanders to arrange troops.

However, the auxiliary 100-man team, such as the Wolf Town militia, mainly engaged in some miscellaneous escorts and road construction work, can only be mixed at the level of the 100-man team.

"Long spear, musket, heavy halberd and sword shield, four to three to two to one." Winters took the list and handed it to the lieutenant colonel: "Only the ten-men were given half-body armor, the others were wearing a helmet. There were also sixty kilograms of lead, twelve barrels of gunpowder and some scattered miscellaneous items here."

Super long spearman, musketeer and halberd are equipped with one-handed swords. In addition to the one-handed sword, the sword shield hands have one more small iron shield.

The musketeers also had molds for pouring lead bullets. Winters was afraid that the militia would not be able to keep them well, so he also collected them.

After taking the list, Lieutenant Colonel Jeska didn't look at it and asked directly: "Did the musketeer give only one kilogram of lead, or do you use only one kilogram of each person?"

"Each musketeer sends only one kilogram."

"Have you done training?"

"The militia has not been trained." Winters thought for a while and replied, "But we have done our own training several times, using gunpowder and lead brought from the source of the troops."

"Okay." Lieutenant Colonel Jeska's expression was normal, without much emotion: "Look at something."

Open a wooden box, and the smell of oil was smelly. The box was full of one-handed swords. Each handle was covered with oil and wrapped in cloth.

"It's good." Lieutenant Colonel nodded: "Look at something else."

The other boxes of weapons were also inspected in turn, and the things were kept very carefully, with iron tools oiled, camphor placed on the edges of the long poles, and the weapons were well wrapped.

John Jeska looked satisfied until the box containing the musket was opened.

The one-eyed Lieutenant Colonel's expression seemed to be a smile: "Hook gun?"

"Yes, sir. All we sent was a hook gun." Winters replied awkwardly.

The lieutenant colonel took out the top hook gun and couldn't help laughing a few times: "I'm afraid this thing is older than me, right?"

"I don't know." Andre replied in a muffled voice: "But it is definitely older than us."

...

The hook gun is actually a fire door gun, an improved fire door gun.

In the early days, the musket had no stock. Until a gunsmith had an inspiration to add the wooden stent of the crossbow to the gun, the musket could only hold it in his hands and shoot.

But he couldn't hold the shooting with his hands, so in order to disperse the recoil, the gunsmith began to add a small iron hook to the barrel.

In this way, the user can hook the musket on objects such as city walls, carriages, shields, etc.

Therefore, this musket is named hook gun.

At least in the early days of the sovereign war, both sides were still using hook guns.

But war gave birth to more advanced designs, and more advanced designs spread rapidly in wars.

With the popularity of butt stocks, long gun barrels and serpentine firing rods, muskets gradually evolved from the "wooden stick and iron pipe" of early fire door guns to their current shape.

In the late stage of the sovereign war, both sides had fully equipped more advanced mesh guns and cannons to kill each other.

No one has used it again to make hook guns. In other words, this weapon has been out of the stage of history for at least thirty years.

That's why the lieutenant colonel asked this question.

The swords and shields equipped by Winters' three-person 100-man team are all equipped with the uniform specifications of the Legion, but the muskets fired are all eliminated models.

There is nothing to complain about. Most militias are operating inside and can deal with at most a few roadblocks.

It is enough to have two guns that can be fired, and it is enough to scare people. In real terms, it is better to fire two crossbows than to use.

...

Shaking his head gently, Lieutenant Colonel put the hook gun back into the wooden box, pointed to the powder barrel and said, "Open and take a look."
