My Italian: Chapter 305 The 1st Guards Division in preparation for battle

The hot and humid weather is not friendly to everyone who lives here, especially those who have just arrived.

Haldane Cosenz walked out of his room. The early morning sun made him feel warm. He said that the temperature in the tropics will be much lower from November to February, but it is still not as comfortable as the mainland.

During the high-intensity training of the troops, some people still fainted from heat stroke from time to time. Not only did this irritate Cosenz for a while, but it also caused some other voices in the force to think that the Dutch were already negotiating why they needed to maintain high-intensity training.

Of course, this is all about a small group of soldiers at the lower level, and it is mainly the soldiers who have expanded in Borneo.

That's right, the First Division of the Guards is now fully staffed. A shelf group that was lacking before has now been filled with local garrison troops. Lieutenant Colonel Cosenz is the head of this shelf group.

In other words, in terms of Cosenz's qualifications and exploits, it is already a huge improvement to become the head of the Guards 1st Division Shelf Regiment. After all, he was transferred back to the Guards from the Marine Corps, and many of the Guards were more senior than him. If not many were unwilling to become the chief officer of the Shelf Regiment, how could it be his turn.

Therefore, Cosenz can be regarded as a bargain.

Having won the cheap Cosenz, he is also very aware of his status among his colleagues, so he also cherishes this opportunity very much. It's time to come up with all your skills and impress the big guys.

Therefore, for these personnel recruited from the local garrison, it is even more strictly required for training, trying to bring them to the same level as the guards.

As for petty things like complaining, Cosenz didn't take it to heart. It's strange that these garrisoned troops who were used to being uncles in the colonies were thrown into the high-intensity training of the Guards, and they didn't complain.

As soon as Cosenz arrived at the regiment headquarters, he immediately saw his new deputy regimental commander waiting here.

"Major Liu, you came very early today. How is the training of the second battalion?"

The full name of Liu Chaoxian in Cosenz's mouth is Liu Chaoxian.

Although the Liu family was not as powerful as in the Lanfang era, as a representative figure who quickly moved closer to Italy, the colonial government still had to give some benefits. Although Liu Asheng has returned home to enjoy his old age, the Liu family has not been suppressed by the colonial government, but has become a representative of the local Chinese.

And the Liu family also has a good eye, clinging to the government's thigh. Instead of dispatching the local garrison to expand the troops, Liu Chaoxian, the future head of the Liu family, volunteered to become a member of the First Guards Division.

Of course, with the exception of the Liu family, the local Lanfang families have more or less sent their children to serve in the First Division of the Guards.

"How is the second battalion now?"

In the face of the question from the chief officer Cosenz, Major Liu understood the wink, and immediately replied respectfully. "Captain, the second battalion is all well at present, and each company is training hard in order to serve the kingdom in the future."

Hearing Liu Chaoxian's answer, Cosenz nodded in approval.

Although the combat effectiveness of the second battalion is at the bottom of the fourth regiment, this is because the battalion is basically dominated by new recruits. Children from major families in Borneo, as well as young people from other Chinese families, occupy 90% of the places in the second camp, which can be described as a veritable Chinese camp.

In fact, Cosenz didn't understand this very well at first. Why should a Chinese camp be set up? Do you really want the Fourth Regiment to become the bottom of the first division? It's just that the training enthusiasm of these Chinese made him very impressed. Although they have only been training for a month, these Chinese did not complain like the officers and soldiers recruited from the garrison.

And the training is also very fruitful. Although it has not yet met the requirements of the Guards, the results are very good. I believe it will take less than half a year to reach the general level of the Guards.

Of course, this is also related to the Chinese who were warned before being recruited. For this time to be accepted by the First Division of the Imperial Guard, it is a good opportunity for the local Chinese to integrate into the Kingdom of Italy. The local Chinese cherish this opportunity very much, so the Chinese recruited this time are the result of careful selection.

Cosenz's visit to the second battalion was just a routine inquiry, and the situation of the whole regiment was the focus of attention.

Once at the regiment headquarters, Cosenz issued a series of orders.

"I gave an order to the fourth battalion. Their armed march speed is too poor, and they are almost overtaken by the second battalion. Let the battalion commander Calgar practice more armed marches. If there is no improvement next month, I have reason to doubt his ability. "

"Tell the first battalion that the artillery regiment has accepted the request of our fourth regiment, and they will send a company of artillerymen to conduct an infantry artillery tactical exercise with us to prepare the first battalion."

"I had the machine guns re-training last month. I learned from the logistics officer that they have fired 7,000 bullets. Ask them how they are practicing. I will check the results in two days. Thousands of bullets, I want them to walk around without food."

Cosenz kept issuing orders at the regiment headquarters, and the five messengers in the regiment were almost not enough.

After finishing this, Cosenz looked at the map in front of him, turned his head and said to Major Liu. "I want to organize a regiment-level exercise, how about the location in Wangye Mountain not far from us?"

Without waiting for Major Liu to answer, Cosenz spoke to himself. "The time is set in one month, and we will comprehensively test the results of our training."

What can Liu Chaoxian, who is regarded as air, do, he can only choose to answer along the way. "The head of the regiment is right, you can indeed test it."

As for Liu Chaoxian, he also knew that he could not convince the public that he had rashly obtained the post of major and became the deputy head of the Fourth Regiment. Lieutenant Colonel Cosenz, the head of the regiment, has already done the math, and the middle-level officers of other units speak even more harshly.

But he couldn't do anything about it. Who made himself too hard to push him to such a high position after only a few years out of the military academy. He couldn't refuse the family's intentions, and could only show his diligent efforts to win the hearts of his colleagues and lower-ranking officers.

But this is easier said than done~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the military, they all speak with their strength, and there is no chance for performance, so there is no reason to be impressed.

For this reason, he thought about it more than once. You said that the ancestors of the Netherlands were also rich. Why can't you be hard-hearted and let yourself earn some performance. Such a soft egg, how can it be worthy of occupying such a large piece of land in Nanyang, it is simply impossible to support the wall.

Well, Major Liu's resentment unfortunately can't affect the Dutch, so he can only accept the reality helplessly.

Just as he was about to continue dealing with the chores of the regiment, a sudden clamor sounded.

someone shouted. "The Netherlands signed and they agreed to transfer Borneo to the kingdom."

Although this news is not too surprising, it is definitely the best news for Italian Borneo.

Before Liu Chaoxian could ask a question, he heard the sound of crackling firecrackers coming from the city, and some people in the city were setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

What else can I say, I can only be happy for the kingdom, and Liu Chaoxian, who was holding on to his smiling face, disappeared among the many happy crowds.
