MTL - I Will Be The Crowned King-v5 Chapter 32 shotgun club

"In the past, those officers who advocated the 'Continental Army' doctrine to suppress us were nothing more than 'no actual record' and 'the cost and the benefit are completely disproportionate' and so on. Opportunity to test new military doctrines, only to watch them take control of the War Department and suppress all dissenting voices.”

"Do you know why Major General Ludwig Franz is so unpopular, an important reason is that his Franz family background can ignore the existence of the War Department, the other is that he started as an artillery major, with the so-called' The Grand Legion's independent claim will naturally be rejected by the Ministry of War - otherwise, if his suggestion is adopted, it will be difficult for the 'Blood Bayonet' group to control the 'Continental Army' faction!"

"As for our officers from the skirmish division, they are not welcome anywhere... Improve the level of soldier training, increase the firepower of individual soldiers, delegate command to the company and even the platoon level, and respect the on-the-spot judgment of the grassroots officers, these propositions It can be said to run counter to the 'Continental Army' doctrine!"

After taking a big sip of dark beer, Teacher Erich's expression was very dull: "Of course we know best that this must be right - Clovis is not a big country like the Empire, no matter how much troops can be squeezed, there is a limit, and excessive recruitment There is bound to be social unrest, a lack of labor, and soldiers who are not much trained are hardly any different from consumables."

"The problem is that this concept has no actual record to prove that it is right, and lack of proof, no matter how many hypotheses and ideas are just things in the air, they can't stand up to the scrutiny of reality - let's be honest, not only they oppose it, even we I actually doubt it myself.”

"At the intensity of today's war, no matter how much training a soldier has, it is impossible for the flesh and blood of a soldier to stop a bullet; a child who has just learned to shoot can pull the trigger and kill a strong adult. "

"In such a battle, is it really necessary to carry out high-intensity training for the soldiers, especially the training of shooting and tactical maneuvers?"

"Of course there is, and it's very necessary." An Sen said solemnly:

"A soldier who knows how to aim and shoot knows how to use his ammunition more efficiently, rather than wasting it on pointless distances; officers who command such soldiers can focus more on commanding the army Immediately block or attack the enemy, not like a shepherd driving his flock, driving his army into battle with absolutely no idea what to expect."

"Yes, that's it!"

"Bang!" Erich slammed the wine glass on the table, and the splashed foam and wine splashed on his collar and face, but he still didn't care: "Hantu, Iser, and the new world...you Those battles are the best evidence of our doctrine and theory!"

"I have personally learned about your Storm Legion... Although it is still a private organization, almost the entire army has received complete skirmish training. The equipment rate of rifled guns is about 10%, and the equipment of breech rifles is about 10%. The rate has reached an astonishing 90%, and there is one artillery piece for every 500 people, far exceeding the standard set by the 'Continental Army'!"

…

"And in exchange for such a high standard, there are victories one after another, Eagle Point City, White Tower City, Carindia Port, Iser Royal Court, Sail City, Beluga Port... even victories in consecutive battles!"

As if stimulated by something, Erich suddenly sighed heavily: "If it weren't for your special status, and you didn't have a powerful enough family to support you, how could it be Luther's turn? Vichy showed off his might, and was praised by so many people as a so-called 'genius military strategist'!"

"These are not important." An Sen smiled calmly:

"What's really important is that what I've done is not in vain, and has made an insignificant contribution to the prosperity of the kingdom."

"But even these small contributions of yours are likely to be wiped out by the adults at the top of the War Department."

Erich reminded exaggeratedly: "For them, the rise and fall of the kingdom is not important. Whether they can control the rise and fall of the kingdom in their own hands is the most important thing."

"We have to stop them, and there is only one way to stop them..."

"Retake the control of the Ministry of War from the hands of the 'Continental Army' faction, and make the Ministry of War truly a pillar that the kingdom can rely on." Anson raised his glass:

"The army of the kingdom must be controlled by those who are truly loyal to the kingdom in order to exert its due strength; I personally think that it is time to defeat those pedantic old brains and inject some fresh blood into this institution."

"It's such a coincidence, because my colleagues and I in the 'Shotgun Club' think so too." Erich's face suddenly showed a meaningful smile:

"Is this... is there any coincidence in it?"

"Coincidence? Of course not."

An Sen suddenly became serious, and looked at Erich with burning eyes: "The real loyal ministers must have the same mind with each other, so it is not a coincidence."

Teacher Erich nodded, obviously quite satisfied with the answer, by the way, he took out a postcard from the drawer and put it in front of Anson:

"This has the address of our 'Shotgun Club'. If you are interested, you might as well come to the club for a few drinks this weekend, play cards or something; nothing else, alcoholic beverages are definitely enough!"

"It's an honor." Anson immediately thanked him, but his expression did not change in any way: "It's just that I'm still being charged by the War Department, and I may be arrested at any time, if I go out..."

"You can forget about this for a while."

Erich suddenly interrupted: "The Ministry of War wants to arrest you, but it wants to take advantage of the fact that you have just returned to Clovis City and the situation is too passive for you to forcibly arrest you, to avoid extravagant troubles, strictly come Saying that it doesn't conform to Army regulations at all - there is no one who has not been convicted, but is only charged and will be imprisoned, let alone a general, which has no precedent in the entire history of the kingdom!"

"Besides, the religious inquisition has made it clear that they don't dare to do anything easily. You just need to be careful not to let the judges lose face. You can do whatever you need to do in other situations."

"By the way, I still have a few old classmates on the logistics side. I will contact them later to see if it is convenient - it is unlikely to completely relax the control of the Storm Legion, but it is possible to provide supplies normally, allowing a few people to occasionally It is still possible to go out freely, at least not to let the officers above the middle level sleep in the barracks every day, it would be too bullying.”

…

This time Anson didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

After all, the two sides actually get what they want... Anson needs the contacts of Erich and the "Shotgun Club", and they need the support of Anson and the entire Storm Legion to overthrow or fight against the ruling faction of the Ministry of the Army headed by the "Continental Army".

The so-called doctrine, in fact, has the same characteristics as "coffee" - they both use the same concept to unite a group of people who would not be united at all, and then fight against another group of people; the hypothesis and concept are not correct, but they are not. The most important thing is whether this theory can become the mainstream thought in the minds of all people, and then use this kind of thought to rule the majority of people.

Could it be that the officers of the "Blood Bayonet Club" couldn't see the disadvantages of the Continental Army, and didn't they understand the benefits of strengthening soldier training and improving firepower?

Of course they know, but can they do it, no.

Because once abandoning the expansion and choosing to increase equipment and training, it means losing those groups that can benefit from the expansion of the army, abandoning the arms dealers who can only provide such inferior but sufficient weapons; Lower-ranking officers and professional soldiers, and factories willing to produce these "new weapons" for them.

No one knows how powerful the latter can be, and no one can guarantee the success of the doctrine reform, but the group of people whose interests have been harmed are the absolute fundamentals they rely on to control the Ministry of War. Heel can't do it.

Therefore, the position is false, the correctness is false, and the concept is false, but the interest group is true; and they have established a completely self-consistent theory in their own interests, conquering the vast majority of officers and soldiers, making them Believe it all, and even think it's the only thing that's right and in their interests.

As for some objections that cannot be proved at all, the voices of opposition are just a little noise in the harmony tune, and they are not important at all.

But now Anson...or the Stormtroopers showed up.

This group of sudden outliers actually broke the "harmony" in their original cognition, and used iron facts to prove that there are small flaws in the "perfection theory", and they can succeed without abiding by its theory. It is the most unbearable for them, and it is also an important reason why the War Department must be killed.

A military that has not been under the control of the Ministry of the Army for a long time, is not restricted, has not been affected in any way, is semi-independent, or has almost achieved economic independence, is an absolute hidden danger in any large organization; A third option exists.

The Ministry of War chose the second type, so in order to maintain its prestige, the Storm Legion must be destroyed, and Anson Bach, the spokesperson for this group of "heterogeneous", must be an evil traitor, a criminal who was sent to hell, otherwise those who have They taught that officers and soldiers who believed in the truth were confused and completely unable to judge what was right and what was wrong.

Until a completely new, more "perfect" doctrine was born, taking the former's place.

So in essence, there is no difference between the "Shotgun Club" and the "Blood Bayonet", or any small group within the Army - Could it be that when the "Shotgun Club" comes to power, the Ministry of War will not overthrow the Privy Council in the name of loyalty and welcome our king Yet?

…

Of course it will, and it must be done, otherwise, how can you show that you are more loyal and powerful than the overthrown group, and can lead the army to better loyal to His Majesty and defend the interests of the kingdom—or the interests of everyone?

But these have nothing to do with Anson... He has achieved his goal and successfully found his own people within the Army. The next step is to continue to use the momentum of the Free Confederation's audience to continue to untie himself and the Storm Legion, and reverse the offensive in terms of external public opinion. , at the same time trying to win over the internal forces of the Privy Council, so that they, like Viscount Bogner, believe that they are very suitable, very easy to use, very obedient tool people, and can help them suppress the threat from the Ministry of War.

Before that, he had to help Qiuzhen Cultivator to deal with the old friend "Whisper".

After gulping down the dark beer in the glass, Anson and Teacher Erich looked at each other with satisfied smiles.

"So... this is your 'new plan'?"

Looking at Cole Dorian, whose eyes were shining, Sera Virgil, who was holding the booklet with the words "Plan", was expressionless: "Since all this is the plan of the Truth Society, then use their most Anson Bach, who is highly valued, went to test 'Whispering', so as to hang out the two difficult organizations, and finally catch them all?"

"It depends on the situation to choose whether to catch everything in one go." Kerr emphasized:

"To be honest, this time is a bit special. We and the truth will probably have the same goal; if that's the case, then it's not that we can't let them go - after all, familiar enemies are always closer than outsiders. "

"Understood, you don't have the confidence to catch the people of the Truth Society." The female judge nodded slightly: "That's right, from the 100th year of the saint's calendar to the present, we have never achieved any results other than mastering a lot of information about them. The Royal Court of Iser also watched them leave that time."

"That's because I don't want to—Karin Jacques is also an important eyeliner on our side, in case we lose our interests!" The chief judge seemed to be very dissatisfied with his subordinate's misjudgment:

"But the situation is really different this time. The forces behind UU Reading www.uukanshu.com's 'Whispering' is probably not small, and the ability to mobilize so many materials has exceeded the standard of the conventional Old God sect organization, even if there is a country It's no surprise that it's backed up."

"The fact that they can escape from us with such a big fanfare proves that they are familiar with us; but they may not be familiar with the Storm Legion and Anson Bach himself. Lots of surprises for the guy."

"It's justifiable and worthy of being the Chief Inquisitor." Sierra Virgil nodded slightly in affirmation: "But there may be a little flaw in your perfect plan."

"Oh, what is it?"

"It's Anson Bach." The female judge blinked:

"He... just disappeared."
