Chapter 66 Siege (36)(1/2)
Van Sgo Aldame.
Some people say that he is a legend among the League Army Academy graduates.
As for those who do not hold this view, it has to be admitted that Van Sgoyle Aldame is indeed a special character.
As an outstanding member of the first-year graduates of the Alliance Army Officer Academy, he could have taken the smooth road that others would not seek, which is the smooth path that Jansen Connellis took, but instead took the initiative to choose a more rugged, bumpy and death-threatening path.
He chose to dispatch overseas.
And the overseas dispatch that year was called overseas, but actually an expedition.
The Empire and the Flemans fought again on the sea in the center of the earth, and the overseas territory of the new Senas Alliance was also affected.
If it does not belong to either party, it means that it will be attacked by both parties at the same time.
All trading ports, colonies, and naval fortresses are in a hurry.
On the deck, in the solitary fort, under the moonlight in a foreign land, accompanied by gunfire and artillery fire, Aldame spent one sleepless night after another.
Three years later, the life of the emperor, known as the "madman", was finally burned out in the war with the Flemans.
But the war is still not over.
The old emperor is dead, and the new emperor should be established.
The alliance decided to interfere with the family disputes of the northern neighbors. The passionate new generation of alliance soldiers went to foreign lands in the name of mercenaries, and Aldame once again devoted himself to the tragic war of succession for the royal family.
The result of that war is very familiar to people today.
In the end, Henry Lieyang took off the crown, wiped out all those who dared to covet the throne, and re-enthroned himself in the Holy Stone Cathedral, and officially ascended the throne as Henry III.
After ascending the throne, he suppressed the calls within the empire to retake the two narrow mountains and lands. For the next twenty years, the empire's military center was always in the north, east and overseas.
The fragile peace between the Alliance and the Empire has been maintained until today.
Many young people who set out with the lofty goal of defending the alliance have never returned to the embrace of the inland sea.
Van Sgoyle Aldame is lucky, not one of them.
But when he returned to the front of the mountain with medals and scars, the United Provincial Army had nowhere to be his place.
Here, we have to mention the accumulated shortcomings of the Republic's army.
As the saying goes, every family has a difficult sutra to recite.
The problem with Venetta is the conflict between land and sea.
It is important to know that before becoming the Veneta Republic, the most noble maritime blue republic was essentially without an army.
For the sea blue people, the navy is the army. Fighting on a ship and fighting on a shore is just a different technical difficulty, and there is no distinction between nature.
When needed, Hailan will also hire the army from outside. However, mercenaries are never regarded as part of Hailan, and the Hailan people do not trust them.
It is not uncommon for Hailan people. In history, it is not uncommon for mercenaries employed by Hailan to violate contracts, engage in foreign enemies, and even conspire for rebellion.
For example, during the Third Genova War, several Falkland mercenaries were so angry that they were clamoring for gambling that they would yell in the tavern beside Molo Pier to slaughter the Governor's Mansion and loot the vault. The mercenaries around were really motivated by these drunkards, and the people in the tavern gathered more and more. Fortunately, two galleon captains received the news and arrived with their own paddlers, suppressing the mercenaries who were already preparing weapons, so that they did not cause any major disaster.
From then on, unless the sea blue people had no choice, they would rather spend more gold than hire mercenaries to station in the city.
Only a very small number of mercenary leaders can be accepted by Hailan, such as Gatta Melata, the "Cunning Cat", whose statue is still erected in the Plaza de San Antony.
However, the reason why the Senate erected a statue for Gata Melata was not because he made any great contributions, but because he was loyal to Hailan until his death, which was really rare.
In short: the history of the Venetta Army began on the day the Union Army Officer Academy was founded; the history of the Venetta Army was the history of the graduates of the Union Army Officer Academy.
The old bones and sticks of the old aristocratic group continued to control the navy, but their influence was also limited to the navy.
Although both land and sea have the same power, water and fire, they have their own strife and no one cares about each other.
Because of this, the Venetta Army did not have any historical burden and could paint on a piece of white paper.
The situation of the United Provincial Army is exactly the opposite.
The history of the Union Army is far earlier than the history of the Union Army Officer Academy.
According to the official caliber of the United Provincial Army, Ned Smith had already established the United Provincial Army in Guitu City 16 years before the first class graduates of the Union Army Academy left the school gate.
Although, those who have experienced that era personally would probably find it difficult to call a group of mobs driven by rage and frenzy as an army.
However, "what standard of armed forces that can be called an army" is a philosophical question, and different people can have different views.
The time of the founding of the United Provincial Army is a political issue.
In the United Republic, the history of the Army's military establishment was traced back to the Shanzhou tax riots in the 519th year of the imperial calendar.
So when the students of the Alliance Army Officers Academy, who came from Shanqiandi, graduated, they were surprised to find that the pits of all sizes in the army organization of their beloved motherland had already been occupied.
Taking the 535th year of the imperial calendar as the dividing line, an invisible high wall classified officers from the Union Provincial Army into two distinct groups.
In terms of ability, literacy and vision, the graduates of the Army Academy believe that they are no worse than the older generations. Even if they still lack experience at the moment, they will definitely catch up with it in time.
However, if someone wins the battle to establish a country, this alone exceeds everything.
As for the "old qualifications" of the United Provincial Army, although they are mortal enemies of the civilian government, they have an amazing tacit understanding in suppressing the new generation in the army.
Intergenerational contradictions begin to accumulate.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! So when Van Sgo Aldame returned to his motherland after fighting the Imperial Elder War, he found that even if he was no longer the young boy who talked about the war on paper, he still had no place to live in the permanent army, and the direct agencies of the Army Headquarters could not even think about it.
In a rage, Aldame left the mountain again and went overseas, wasting another three years.
It was not until the fourth year that with the establishment of the "National Guard" as an opportunity, Van Sgoyle Ardame was able to return to the United Provinces and officially serve as the military commander of a local force.
In fact, the so-called "National Guard" is actually a stove set up by the young and strong troops of the United Provincial Army in order to get rid of the old qualifications.
...
By the way, the Palatu Army was originally likely to have taken the road of the Union Army, but since Palatu was always fighting, people would die in wars, and people would be vacant if they died, so the flow of blood was generally smooth.
However, even so, there were still disputes between the nobles and civilians within the Paratu Army.
In contrast, Venetta's land-sea conflicts seem less ugly.
As for the Vine Republic and the Monta Republic, their situation is closer to Venetta than to the UNO, so I will not repeat it again.
...
In the days that followed, Aldame was promoted step by step.
But he could only get to the commander of the National Guard and could no longer cross it.
Even his military rank was stuck in the colonel and he could not move a step for many years.
The batons of [Goddess of Victory] and [Roading River] are even more unthinkable. They are the territory of others. Even if they surrender like some cartilage, they have to queue up.
What's more, Van Sgoyle Ardame would never bow his head.
Then there is only one thing to do, at least before those old immortals die.
unless……
Unless there is any way to change the world of the Union Province.
That idiot, Jensen Connelis, thought that inciting a few young boys, launching a military coup, and destroying a secretary of state, would transform the United Provinces.
Extremely stupid.
The motherland is already terminally ill, and what she really needs is a great purge.
To achieve this, we must first rewrite the end of the battle of the siege of the Kings Castle.
Amber River, Emerald Ferry, Van Sgo Aldame is patiently waiting for a fighter that can completely rewrite the end of the siege, even rewrite the entire Paratu, and rewrite the fate of the entire alliance.
But he didn't know yet, so was his opponent.
...
[Time goes back two days ago]
Outside the Emerald Ferry, I heard Winters’ bold words “eat [steadfast]”.
The seniors of Baishan County and Leiqun County were stunned at first because they all felt that they had heard it wrong. When they really realized what Winters was saying, a feeling of being humiliated immediately surged into their hearts.
The atmosphere immediately became subtle and everyone's expressions became cold.
Luo Song had to speak to smooth things over, but even he didn't know how to take Winters' words. After a lot of effort, he said, "How to eat?"
On the surface, he was asking, "How to eat Jianzheng?"
In fact, he was asking, "There was no longer enough staff to take down the Kings Fort before, but now the soldiers and generals are lost. How can we eat the stronger [steadfast] with stronger combat power?"
"Follow me," Winters didn't say much nonsense, turned around and walked back.
The seniors looked at each other, but finally followed.
The officers first retrieved the horse, and then Winters led the others to the unknown hill where he had seen it twice before and took Mason to see it again.
"Suppose there is only one legion of [steadfast] in front of you," Winters first sets the premise rigorously. "Then the combat power of the infantry under his jurisdiction is roughly equivalent to that of our infantry. Our number of people is more, but their training level makes up for the disadvantage of the number of people."
Winters looked around the officers, "Sir, do you have any objections?"
The officers of Baishan County and Leiqun County did not comment. This judgment is already very considerate of the face of friendly troops. If you really have to fight to the point of being loyal, what's the use of so many more people?
"Article," Winters was a little regretful, "Although I don't know how many cannons Aldame has, according to the situation of the Kings Castle, it is definitely not less than ours. The only ones that can really come in handy are three and six-pound long cannons. As for those old siege cannons--really, it's better to melt them off as soon as possible and cast a few smaller ones."
