I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 66: Maintain what you should maintain

Little Nicholas was born in 1856 and is 25 years old this year.

Sergey was born in 1857 and is 24 years old this year.

Without the blessing of the Grand Duke status, it would be impossible for them to sit in this position at their age.

This can explain why Nicholas and George's military teacher, General Pushrewsky, became the deputy commander of the General Regiment.

The leader is just a show-off, and the deputy leader must find someone capable.

Therefore, the most capable officers of the Guards are not the military chiefs of each unit, but the little-known deputies.

Vasily may not be as magical as Suvorov, but he is much better than Constantine. The company he and Constantine belong to has begun training, and the progress is much faster than George's.

George's team hasn't even decided on the contestants yet.

The horse is already determined.

The most critical element of the cavalry is mobility. A good horse is the most important weapon of the cavalry.

Nicholas played a key role here again. At his request, the best troops and horses of the general regiment have been concentrated in the 4th company.

This was not enough, Nicholas even borrowed 60 military horses from the garrison of Gatchina Palace to supplement the shortcomings of the 4th company.

So why is George so confident?

Because from the beginning, George was invincible.

George's opponent is Vasily.

Constantine's opponent was not George, but Nicholas.

Because Nikolai is the chief officer of the 4th Company, and George is just Nikolai's deputy.

If Constantine dares to defeat George, he will be in trouble.

His father would never let him go.

Nikolai mobilized all his resources to win.

George is not idle either, and the resources he has are beyond Vasily's reach.

Nicholas had a tsarist father, and George had a cousin who was the steward.

The cousin was there to convey the message, but Uncle Mikhail and Ye Luoxin were the ones who really did the work.

Ye Luoxin is a general who has truly fought on the battlefield and is extremely experienced.

Ye Luoxin was expelled from the Guards. It was nothing to Nicholas. With just a transfer order, Ye Luoxin was allowed to return to the Guards.

This is not an illegal operation, because Russian soldiers can serve multiple times. If necessary, retired officers and soldiers must respond to the imperial recruitment and rejoin the army.

Of course, you can return to the Guards, but don't even think about reinstating the officer's position. Ye Luoxin, like his son Andrei, needs to start as a warrant officer.

As long as Ye Luoxin can return to the Guards and start as a private soldier, Ye Luoxin is willing to do so.

The moment she received the draft, Ye Luoxin lost control of her emotions. She sat on the ground and cried loudly. After crying, she took out the military uniform she had always treasured and mounted a horse to report to the regiment.

Uncle Mikhail's role was greater.

Nicholas can coordinate resources that George does not have, and George can do a lot.

As mentioned earlier, the uniforms of the Guards officers are all prepared by themselves.

Soldiers' clothing is provided by the military, and the quality varies. In terms of warmth, there is a huge gap between it and officers' uniforms.

George would spend a lot of money. If the soldier uniforms are not warm enough, then they can be customized from the clothing factory in St. Petersburg.

Not only the clothing, but also the equipment required by the soldiers must be of the best quality.

Mikhail knows the importance of the September exercise to George. Even if George does not emphasize it, Mikhail will prepare the best for George.

Vasily was working overtime to train, but he didn't know that he was about to face a perverted opponent. "George, do you want me to transfer someone from Gatchina Palace?" Nicholas was completely overwhelmed. He didn't even go to the dance recently. He was with George every day, thinking about how to improve the strength of the 4th company.

"Look at yourself first. When the time comes, all your subordinates will be lions, but you, the company commander, will be a sheep. How dare you accept the medal?" George still used roundabout tactics. With a character like Nikolai, he had to make subtle moves.

Nicholas was confused.

He really didn't want to go running with George in the middle of winter.

If you're just running, it won't be a big problem.

The key is that the temptation of bed in the winter morning is greater for Nicholas than the temptation of the dance.

But thinking about the situation George said, a sheep leading a group of lions, Nicholas decided to wait for the weather to get warmer and resume exercise with George.

Construction workers only work for half a year, and Nicholas, the crown prince, can work for half a year and rest for half a year.

St. Petersburg has a snowy period for half a year every year, and construction sites do not start during this half of the year.

Looking forward to, looking forward to, the east wind is coming, the footsteps of spring are approaching, everything looks like it has just woken up, and everything is revived.

As the competition approached, the training enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the general regiment became more and more intense. Some soldiers who vowed to win the rewards actually injured themselves during training.

It was only then that George was surprised to find that there was only one military doctor in the entire regiment.

The Cavalry Regiment of the Guards is a large company of six companies. The whole regiment has 900 combat personnel, plus a total of 1200 logistics support personnel. With so many people and only one military doctor, it is indeed a bit pitiful.

What's even more pitiful is that.

The Guards are the most powerful force in Russia, and all equipment is top-notch. In the entire Russian army, the ratio of military doctors in the army is about 10,000 to one.

There is only one medic for every 10,000 soldiers.

This can explain why Russia has such a high casualty ratio in previous wars.

When military doctors treat the wounded, they must give priority to officers, so soldiers can only pray after being injured.

This is not a slander. The military reforms carried out by Milyutin clearly stipulated that each army must be equipped with a certain number of priests.

No, it's a priest. Priests are only found in Christianity and games. Russia is Orthodox.

"Soldiers have received emergency training, and everyone is a doctor on the battlefield." Ye Luoxin is accustomed to it. This is the role of tradition.

"If it's just a small cut on your finger, you can really handle it yourself, but what if amputation is needed?" George seriously disagreed. In ancient times, people were still naked.

"I sawed off Yuri's legs with my own hands." Ye Luo Xin Gu Jing Bu Bo said that the Cossacks were ruthless to their enemies and even more ruthless to themselves.

"If he was a real doctor, maybe Yuri could save his leg." George was not afraid of irritating Ye Luoxin.

For Nicholas, George has the patience to change slowly.

It doesn't matter to Ye Luoxin, just give the order directly.

Ye Luoxin was speechless, what George said was the truth.

George can solve the problem of soldiers' clothing.

Providing military doctors for the general regiment was beyond George's ability.

George went to see his cousin, the legion commander.

Nicholas Jr. refused directly: "George, things are not as simple as you think. It takes a long time to train a military doctor. The empire has a million-strong army, and it is impossible to equip every soldier with a military doctor."

George was speechless.

George did not require that every soldier be equipped with a military doctor. He only hoped to improve the medical level of the army, which is definitely a good thing for the Russian army.

"Do what you should do, this is not something you should think about." Little Nicholas upheld the tradition and hoped that George would become such a person.
