C2638 Tragic preparation for war (1/2)
”Damn it!” Where the telegraph is, immediately take over from us! ”Tell our logistics officer to count the supplies immediately!”
In such a serious situation, Captain Ke Lisituofu had quickly taken over control of the fortress.
”Report, Guild Leader!” How the hell did these bastards manage to get their supplies ready, I can't believe my eyes! ”
”Look, the whole stronghold only has enough bread and flour to feed two thousand soldiers for half a month, but the dried sausages and salted meat are more than ten tons. This is enough for us to eat until Christmas!”
”There are no medical pills at all, but there are more than a thousand salt bars and five hundred Spanish ham? Is this for us to pickle the bacon? ”
”And the worst thing is, there are no tents, not even a single one. How are we going to complete our mission like this?”
The more the logistics officer spoke, the more anxious the Captain became. He received the order to temporarily let his regiment serve as the Rangers and control the fifty kilometre border to the north of Verdun.
Such a mission required the disbanding of the main force and the release of the main force. The necessary camping had to be done, and they even needed to intercept and release the Prussian soldiers at night.
”No tents, no first aid, not even enough bread, how can I fight? How do you think I should fight it! ” The captain angrily whipped the guard officer.
”Sir...” I can't do anything about it, sir. I can't produce any supplies, either. I've applied for empty space before, but I haven't been able to deliver it to you! ”
”But the things that I don't need have been delivered two to three times in succession … That's why there's this kind of situation! ”
”Don't be angry, there's no bread to eat, and there's sausages to eat. There's enough sausages! ”
”F * ck your daughter! Do you want my war horse to eat sausages too? Everything else is easy, the horse material must be taken care of! ” The captain was so angry that he wanted to whip him again.
”Sir, sir!” ”It's summer now, and there's plenty of grass outside. Why don't we just let the horses eat it …”
”F * ck your daughter …” The captain, who was flustered and exasperated, lashed out with a whip.
”This is a war horse! Do you know what war horses are? Horses had to eat alfalfa grass, mixed with yellow beans and even eggs! If not, my horse will not have the strength, and I will not lead my soldiers to charge into battle! ”
”You damned bastard, fuck your daughter...” Do you think that the war horse is your donkey? ”
After lashing out the guard officer's whip, the problem could not be solved in the end. There was really no other way, Ke Lisituofu could only narrow the area of defense and reduce the number of patrolling, first he had to use the limited resources in his hands!
”Give me the telegram, I'm going to sue these damn bureaucrats to the military! I want to appeal to the Crown Prince! ”
”Wait …” The crown prince could not resolve this matter, so he sent a telegram to the empress! We are cavalry regiment Ou Renni, we are the Queen's personal guards! Who else can you find if not the empress? ”
Very quickly, Verdun's emergency telegram was sent to the Tuileries' Palace, at this time, one could see the use of titles. If it was an ordinary army, who would dare to directly send a telegram to the Tuileries' Palace?
Even if they had, the staff of the Palace Telegraph Room would not have passed it on to His Majesty or the Empress, and such a trespassing telegram would have been sent back to the Ministry of War at the first possible moment. At that time, the person who sent the telegram would also be severely punished!
But Queen's cavalry Ou Renni was not restricted by this rule. Even though their direct subordinates were in the military, but according to the laws of the empire, their direct superior was the Empress … Although the empress wouldn't give them an order directly, the law was the law and the rules were the rules.
