Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 606 Recruitment

"I'm really hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

"I'll get it for you."

Phaethon felt much better after returning to daily communication. But watching the Doudou Troupe on the TV, she felt that her job in the kitchen was gradually being threatened.

"It seems that I have to practice as soon as possible. Also, can I add some ingredients to this steamed bun stuffing?"

The next morning, we went to the Wutai Mountain Training Center. After registering with the guard, Phaethon walked in during recess with his hat in hand.

"Wow, it's amazing here."

Far away, she could hear goose-stepping and other formation training on the playground over there. This is a compulsory course for military students. The lower the grade, the more time they have to spend on queue training.

Like Rome, goose-stepping and lining up to be shot were important parts of both sides' history of conquering the world. On "very few" occasions, the two sides even fought each other, and Phaethon had long heard of the historical tactics of the "Chinese Army". And queue training is part of history repeating itself.

She couldn't go too far inside and had to wait for Lu Liang to come out on his own, so she stood next to the playground and watched - the queue training was the same as what was said in history.

Although both sides "line up and shoot", the tactics of Rome and Cathay are different.

Roman tactics were derived from legionary tactics, using dense and solid lines of infantry to advance. From a distance it looks like a whole line.

In the drill before them, the Cathay Army showed a completely different look - first, in front of the infantry position, there were dense lines of skirmishers moving in front. These skirmishers are flexibly organized into squads and follow the squad leader's orders to carry out blocking fire or retreat into formation. They also demonstrated the unique tactics of Cathay skirmishers: shooting from a crouching position.

The shotguns equipped for skirmishers will be equipped with two forks, which can stabilize the wall to the greatest extent when shooting in a crouching position, and can launch intensive and accurate shooting beyond the range of most muskets. However, the effectiveness of this action goes beyond that: squatting so low has exceeded the effective range of the cavalry saber, and only horses can hit it.

However, animals like horses obviously cherish their hooves more than fighting. Unless forced to crowd together, horses will not actually actively trample large creatures like humans. And the cavalry in dense formation itself is a living target——

This is the next floor. Unlike the Roman army, which emphasized infantry lines and firearms firepower, the Cathay army known to Phaethon preferred to use

artillery.

Massive light artillery. Those artillery were carried directly by the infantry, and then fired terrible close combat firepower at the infantry's engagement distance. This tradition has been extended to the Cathay Army today.

According to public information, even the team tactics of the Sinian Army in Shaoping 4 years still centered on the "weapon squad" composed of mortars, heavy grenade rifles, and heavy rocket launchers. As for the light portable rocket launchers, they were completely Regardless of the establishment, everyone will basically carry an armor-piercing round or a cloud explosive round with them.

As always, the Cathayans have been keen to bring heavy weapons to the front line for hundreds of years, and they can't wait to bring the heavy howitzer to the front line and fire them straight.

Moreover, as modern artillery firepower gradually becomes more reliable and more powerful, the Sinian Army has emphasized in its military reform that the frontline infantry should make "prudent" decisions to avoid launching unnecessary impacts, and try to call in artillery clusters and aviation teams. Bombing to resolve the battle.

Generally speaking, from the Roman perspective, the Cathay Army's tactics since ancient times have had two elements: first, there can never be too much firepower. Second, the lives of "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" are not worth sacrificing in the attrition against barbarians, and any loss is unacceptable. In Cathay, bombs are as worthless as dirt. Rather than chanting sutras, the Cathayans prefer to use bombs to talk to the barbarians. Bombs are the currency of the emperor.

Rome is different. Because Rome regarded the barbarians themselves as the emperor's currency. Different barbarians had different currencies, but in the end they could all be used by the empire under the overall coordination of Constantinople.

"Ah, did we do something wrong?" Looking at the Cathay soldiers who were training, Phaethon felt lost. After all, Rome is now on the verge of failure. Although the problem is not the policy towards barbarians, Rome failed, and everything is worthy of rethinking.

"Yo~~" Lu Liang patted her shoulder from behind, "What are you thinking about?"    "It's okay, let's take a look at your training."

"What's so interesting about lining up for little brats? The teams can't even stand together. Please watch the military exercises at the Qiu Cao Parade later. That's worth watching. Just like a formula car, sometimes we can Play a brand new strategy that even the front line will appreciate.”

"This, Shangluo said it last time, it's your hat." Phaethon handed over the hat.

Lu Liang took it and his eyes were stunned for a moment. She put her hat in front of her nose.

"What's the matter?" Phaethon asked.

"It smells so good. Did you scent it before delivering it?"

"No, it was Shangluo who wore it. This is the fragrance on his body - the fragrance of heavenly beings. Heavenly beings have wonderful and different bodies, and their fragrance is clean and natural."

"The scent on his body? Is it still there after taking a shower?"

"He actually doesn't need to take a bath at all. Heavenly beings' bodies can clean themselves. He takes a bath now just out of habit. In fact, it's the same if he doesn't take a bath."

"Hey" Lu Liang leaned into her ear and whispered, "What about him?"

Lu Liang continued to lower his voice: "That's it, does it smell like that?"

Phaethon shook his head: "Not at all. Even his most intimate clothes are full of such fragrance, and I found it when he was washing. Helping him wash his clothes was just a formality, in fact it was not at all There is no need to wash. Sometimes he has to put some hand cream on himself to cover it up, otherwise the fragrance on his body will be very prominent. If it is replaced by the soapy fragrance of the hand cream, it will not be so prominent—— By the way, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Hey, is this a topic among girls?"

"Do girls ask this question among themselves? What do you think of him?"

"Panda," Lu Liang replied, "That's what pandas are like. Pandas even poop with the fragrance of bamboo leaves, and Shangluo is probably the same - eh, I'm curious, what do you think of him?"

Lu Liang looked at her with interest——

"Ah, what?" Phaethon answered, "Is the Imperial Guard still short of people to work for?"

"It's lacking, it's very lacking." Lu Liang suddenly became more energetic, "Are you planning to come and work? I have advised you to come here a long time ago. We are in need of talents like you."

"I have applied for the General of Han Dynasty through Shangluo."

"What a big Han general." Lu Liang shook his head and said, "It's a pity for someone like you to be a vase. You should go directly to become an operator. It's all on me. We in the prison need people like you."
