Chapter 908: Seize command (2/2)
Nor can it be considered lost. Now that everyone is rushing to escape, the front line is gone, and the situation on the battlefield has been completely eroded. It is simply not a small unit of ”Bremen Hansa” that can be reversed.
Being able to run along with the troops without riding a horse on his own, Colonel Lane is also doing his due diligence.
Perhaps they ran fast enough, or perhaps their desire to survive touched God, and they ran all the way from Luxembourg to Koblenz without encountering the French.
Here, the escape journey is also declared over. Seeing the Austrian flag set in front, Colonel Lein breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step forward to negotiate, a loud voice rang.
”Report the number of the army, the name of the commander!”
It was a young military officer who was speaking, holding a small book in his hand, and behind him were a group of soldiers waiting in line.
Facing the ten muzzles, anyone will feel uncomfortable, and Colonel Ryan is no exception. Frowning, he replied: ”The Bremen Hansa Defence Force, Commander Colonel Ryan!”
The specific number is not needed. The free city of Hanseatic in Bremen has a larger township. It is nothing more than a prosperous business and a denser population.
The total number of troops participating in this war is just a few hundred. The establishment of a strengthened battalion is enough, and it is much more convenient to directly register the country name than the number.
Perhaps aware of the poor image of his party, Lane emphasized his identity as a colonel, hoping to get better treatment.
Frankly speaking, Ryan is not satisfied with his status as a colonel. Look at the top commanders sent by other states are generals, and he is a colonel, and everyone standing together is inferior.
Regrettably, domestic parliamentarians did not agree, and resolutely suppressed the rank of his military ”big brother” at the school level on the grounds that he had no merit.
Hearing the word ”Colonel”, the young officer was very polite. After all, everyone is an ally, and they still recognize each other's military ranks, even if there is a lot of water in it.
”Excuse me, Colonel, in what year did you join the army and what occupation did you take before joining the army?”
During routine cross-examination, Colonel Ryan looked embarrassed and replied bitterly: ”I joined the army three months ago, and I was responsible for the security work of Bremen before joining the army.”
There is no way that Bremen is too small for Hanseatic, and it can't afford a standing army at all. Generally speaking, it is all part-time work of the domestic police.
Perhaps because of his concern that his resume is not light enough, and Colonel Lane added: ”When I was young, I also served as a mercenary commander and once fought against the British in South Africa.”
It was precisely because he had been on the battlefield that Ryan was able to stand out from many rookie competitors and become the commander of this unit.
The young officer opened the small book, quickly searched it, and after a moment of effort, said with a smile: ”There is no problem with the information.
Colonel Ryan, on behalf of the coalition headquarters, I welcome your return. ”
Hearing ”return to the team,” Colonel Ryan's face suddenly became unnatural. There is no doubt that they are legally incorporated.
After hesitating again and again, Colonel Lane said bitterly, ”Your Excellency, we have just failed on the front line. Now the morale of the army is completely lacking, and the troops need to take the necessary rest.
There is no way. In Luxembourg, many small nations reported to the delegation together. They had enough confidence to speak with the commanders appointed by the central government.
No longer now, the troops have been broken up. The most true portrayal of soldiers who do not know soldiers and who do not know soldiers.
The coalition headquarters now gathers the collapsed soldiers, and will certainly not try to help them resume their establishment. As long as the commander is not stupid, he knows to seize the opportunity to take command of the troops.
Reorganizing the broken soldiers and splitting up the military system based on the state, he lost his bargaining power.
For the overall situation, this is the most advantageous, as it can integrate forces and exert maximum fighting power.
However, from the standpoint of individuals or small states, the situation is quite different. This means that they will lose their right to speak in the coalition forces.
In theory, this kind of thing is handled by the German Federal Government, which is more logical. After all, it is the jurisprudential central government that has the unifying power to unify the following states.
The coalition headquarters jumped out to gather and reorganize the soldiers, but there was still some overtaking. However, this is a minor problem, and now the German headquarters is in a state of chaos, and can't even take care of it here.
When they responded, the established facts were created, and then they wanted to take back command from Austria, they could only go to the Vienna government to fight the diplomatic affairs.
What seemed to come to mind, the young military officer reassured: ”Colonel, don't worry, you won't have a combat mission in the short term.
Now you should go to the camp to take a shower, get a good night's sleep, keep your feet up and wait for the order. ”
With his arms thigh-less, he looked at the tired soldier behind him and Colonel Lane nodded helplessly.
