Chapter 123 Practical Exercise
Maria’s family went back before the Winter Spirit Festival. Frederick had some free time and began to sort out and study the current mathematics results after class every day to prepare for the future calculus. .
The world already has the concepts of derivatives and definite integrals. Mathematicians from the League of Rhine, the Kingdom of Gaul, the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of England and other places have made achievements in this regard.
At present, Frederick is a rising star in the field of mathematics. The book "The Combination of Algebra and Geometry" has been circulated in the mathematics circle, and he has recently begun to receive letters from mathematicians from all over the world.
The letter contained praise, doubts, and discussions. Frederick responded to them one by one and invited them to publish their academic results in Wesson.
He once thought about asking Psyche to help, but Psyche just threw him a "I am a liberal arts student" and continued reading comics with a lollipop in his mouth.
The disturbance caused by the double-slit diffraction experiment of fire elements did not affect him. Many people felt that he only discovered this phenomenon by accident and was incapable of explaining it clearly.
Celsus came to see him several times, so he gave up the job of chief translator of the Translation Tribunal and asked the former librarian of Constantinople to manage the search for the Grand Duke of Mainz. A scholar who came here to preside over the compilation of the Rhineland dictionary.
In addition, Frederick is also paying attention to the design progress of the Germain Cathedral and the Edelweiss Great Library. The designers hired by the Church of Light and the Archduke of Mainz are designing the main body and appearance of the building. He planned to take charge of the structural design after the design was completed.
The day came to 1026 so peacefully, and a front-page headline of "Wesen Daily" broke the tranquility of the winter in Wesen.
"Earl Reese is really crazy." Bobo said angrily to the comrades around him, "He even didn't let go of the elastic bands on our pants!"
He attended night school in the army for more than half a year. The stonemason, who was originally only proficient in writing, can now read newspapers to his comrades.
The Earl of Rees drank a few more drinks at the New Year's party, and then expressed his admiration for Wessonland. In the end, Frederick summed it up as "stealing money, food, and women", adding fuel to the fire. It was later published on the front page.
Metzger sat opposite Bobo and said excitedly: "I don't want my wife to be taken away by him."
"[Wesson swears]! If I were on the battlefield If you catch him, kill him like a pig.”
He finally finished his work at home and decided to join the army to gain a better future for his child who would be born in May next year.
After the autumn expansion, the first batch of 600 soldiers became squad leaders, and Metzger became Bobo's subordinate.
Metzger was initially dissatisfied with the squad leader who was younger than him, so he had a fight, but the result was that the pig-killer could not beat the stone-thrower.
Before reading the next piece of news, Bobo said seriously to his comrades: "The commander said, 'Do more practical work and talk less empty words.'"
"Bragging will not destroy the enemy. In the end, we have to decide the outcome on the battlefield.”
"The next ten days will be the actual combat exercise. If anyone has a problem, I will report it and let him go and work with the cook!"
He has been the team leader for several months, and his skills are indeed enough It was tough, and everyone was convinced, and now there was a faint sense of majesty.
The soldiers immediately became serious.
Especially Metzger. When the Heijiapu army was formed, the recruitment had not yet started. He had seen a team composed of mercenary veterans.
He wrote in his diary that day: "I have seen those cavalry hit the Inahashi people. The cavalry who were covered in iron went in, and the Inohaya people flew up. Now, the Inohaya people are flying. It’s all for nothing.”
After writing the diary, he was a little proud. He used to have trouble writing an IOU, but now he has no problem writing long paragraphs. Learning to write really still requires learning like the commander said, not only learning, but also practicing more. Then he was punished by the cultural teacher to clean the toilet because he wrote too many wrong words.
The exercise code-named "Destruction Mushroom-1026" soon arrived. The two main regiments were pulled by the assembled militia transport team and drove around the territory for three days. They simulated various enemy situations along the way, and finally came to set up camp on the grass outside the Springfield Arsenal.
Tomorrow is the live ammunition combat subject. Bobo and Metzger are organizing their equipment in the tent, cleaning the pea gun, and checking the simulated bullets used in the exercise.
The outer shell of this simulated bullet is a layer of slime hard glue, and the inside is white lime powder. It can kill a pig when it is close, but it is quite painful when it is far away. However, the error is relatively small when the shooting distance is far. big.
That night we were told that there was no night attack and everyone could sleep peacefully.
There were no night raids. Only Baron Wesson called emergency muster calls twice in the early morning and around three o'clock, and then ran to several bonfires 500 meters outside the camp to roll call before returning.
The two gatherings took ten minutes each time and fifteen minutes each time. No one fell behind or ran into the wrong team. Frederick was quite satisfied with this. In this era, the army was so troubled and did not bomb the camp, which shows that it is well-trained. .
The next day, the wake-up call came an hour earlier than usual. Earlier than them were the militiamen responsible for boiling water for breakfast.
Breakfast is a bowl of noodles for each person. The fingernail-sized noodles are made the same as fast noodles. Just soak them in boiling water for a while. Use a slotted spoon to pick up the noodles and add a ladle of noodle soup. Another spoonful of greasy bacon minced that had been stored in a sealed wooden barrel for half a year. After eating, my whole body warmed up.
After finishing breakfast, the soldiers mixed boiled water with the gravy in the lunch box and drank it. At the same time, they filled their own water bottles with hot water, put the lunch box in, closed the lid, and put it into an insulated bag made of tarpaulin and cotton. The weather in January is drinkable into the afternoon.
In more than half an hour, the people in the entire military camp had finished eating, drinking, and eating, and the assembly bugle sounded.
Frederick stayed with the exercise referee team. Their camp was on a nearby mountain. The situation in the camp could be clearly seen with a telescope.
Richard Nall said with satisfaction: "We are the only troops that can be assembled at this time. If we set out at this time and launch an attack at dawn, we will most likely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. "
Frederick sighed: "It is not easy to organize such a large-scale practical exercise in such a short period of time in such a cold weather."
"You still do this when you know it's not easy." Richard Nall looked very angry. "It makes me unable to fish. I'm too busy blowing the cold wind here with you!"
Frederick smiled, knowing in his heart that the master was joking. The sword master's goal was to leave a name in history. In addition to selecting other disciples, he was now training the army.
After looking at the military camp for a while, he said: "Earl Reese has spoken out so early, I'm worried that they will launch earlier than we expected."
"The new recruits in autumn. I have only been training for less than 5 months, and I am a little worried about whether I can fight. I can only conduct a sudden drill to prepare everyone."
Richard Nall said: "Don't worry. This winter is not too cold and there is little snow. The training in the past few months has been very intense and I have grown rapidly.”
Frederick nodded. The snow this winter was a bit slow. There was a lot of snow in the early winter, but then it became less. The thickness of the snow is thinner than in previous years. Maybe there will be a certain degree of drought this summer.
However, this also provides good conditions for military training. Outdoor training is not afraid of frostbite.
With the army units, today's live-fire combat project began after dawn.
