The hard days were short-lived. After half a month of polishing, these noble officers finally seemed to have a bit of military temperament.
At this time, the training content has also changed. In addition to pure physical training, there is also a military command class.
This study is very targeted. The cases explained are all street fights, which were carefully selected by Franz, and the reason is naturally interesting.
Everyone has a military foundation, and listening to these classes is not difficult. Compared with the previous physical training, many people are very excited.
This is our strength, what is it like to train us as soldiers
Albrecht sneered and said: "Okay, I'm done! You take the squad as a unit, assuming that the enemy is attacking Vienna, and formulate a corresponding defense plan;
Or suppose the enemy has captured Vienna and we are on a counter-offensive and plan our operations accordingly.
The time is three days, and I will give you grades. If you fail, it proves that your military command ability is not enough, and you can only be a reckless man. Then go back to physical training! "
A cold air fell from the sky, and many people showed a bitter face, and they could only look forward to their teammates.
"If you don't have enough military command ability, you can only be a reckless man." If you bear this comment and your military career is over, that's a small problem.
Everyone is young, who wants to admit that he is a fool without a brain
No one doubted that Albrecht couldn't do it, their family had traditions.
When Archduke Carl carried out military reforms, he did the same thing, turning a group of nobles who he thought were unsuitable to serve as officers into major soldiers, forcing them to retire.
Those retired aristocratic officers, that is really "no bright future"!
In the aristocratic circle, their legends are still circulating, which is called the shame of the Austrian aristocracy.
The nobles in the German region all retain the tradition of joining the army, and everyone was trained as an officer since childhood. After more than ten years of hearing and seeing, even if it is a pig, it is a literate pig!
In short, the Austrian aristocracy has not completely degenerated during this period, and everyone still has a sense of honor.
Even during the Austro-Prussian War, the combat effectiveness of the Austrian army was at the forefront of Europe.
Of course, the city defense army may be an exception. Perhaps this represents the lower limit of the Austrian army. The prosperity of Vienna has corroded the will of the officers.
Who can answer this question? The most important thing now is to save these 800 stray teenagers and bring them back from the brink of degeneration. The next Vienna March Revolution will not be a problem.
…
"How about Albrecht, is there any good seed among these people?" Franz asked
"I'm afraid you will be disappointed. The level of these people can only be said to be reluctant. They still have too much debt to make up. Let's wait until the knowledge is made up!" Albrecht shook his head and said.
"What about being a company and platoon officer? Right now, if we send them down to the troops and command a company or a platoon to fight, how much combat effectiveness can we show?" Franz asked with concern
"Your expectations for them are really low. Now most of them are not suitable for front-line commanders. If they use it reluctantly, they will probably be able to exert six or seven points of combat effectiveness of a unit." Albrecht think about it
After getting this answer, Franz couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With this fighting power, he can almost handle the next situation.
"Then give them another wave. No matter what their abilities are, at least these people are loyal and passionate. You don't have to worry about them becoming deserters!" Franz said with a smile.
It's not worth it for him to come and walk in person. With the City Defense Army and the Royal Guard in hand, the overall situation is basically settled.
"That's right, they are better than the old fritters in the city defense army. But Franz, what's the use of it, and now there's no war? Do you want them to replace the old fritters?" Albrecht very suspicious question
"Removing so many officers at one time will have too much influence. We can use the name of training to arrange them to serve as deputy positions in the army.
Then organize an armed training, let them command, and see the effect! ' Franz lied flatly.
When he said this, he didn't even believe it himself. He spent so much effort just to let these people replace the moths in the city defense army
Fortunately, this is continental Europe. If it was Dongfang, if the prince dared to do this, people's first reaction would be: No, the prince is going to rebel!
Franz didn't say anything, and Albrecht didn't bother to ask. Anyway, this is the order that Ferdinand I personally gave him, and Franz is now supervising the city defense army.
There is no need to consider the issue of treason at all. There is no market for doing this in Europe. Besides, Franz didn't have to do anything, and he could be regent in two or three years.
Everyone knows about the situation of Ferdinand I. It is impossible to have a next generation. When the age is up, he will exercise the emperor's rights as the crown prince, which is a bit greater than the current rights of the Regency Council.
If you want to be emperor, you can wait for his uncle to die! Franz has absolutely no reason to take the risk
Otherwise, Albrecht would be too lazy to toss with him? These noble officers would not buy his account like this!
"Okay, as you like, as long as you don't cause trouble, I will cooperate with you!" Albrecht said helplessly.
In Albrecht's view, Franz was a teenager and wanted to make a career.
He has also experienced it at this age. He knows that it is useless to object. The more you don't let him do it, the more he will do it.
Judging from the current situation, what Franz has done is still within the scope of the rules, and he has not messed around.
On the surface, Franz was going to replace the fallen noble officers with young noble officers, which would not cause a strong backlash from the noble class.
This is not considered outrageous in everyone's opinion, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot, and these nobles also rely on this military service to eat.
Maybe a noble officer was driven home, and he was replaced by his own son, or a brother, or even a distant relative.
If he had promoted civilian officers, Albrecht would not have been so easy to talk about, and the class position could not be given up.
If Franz knew what he was thinking, he would have told him that he thought too much. Isn't it nonsense to promote civilian officers in this era
Putting aside other external factors, just looking at military literacy, the two sides are not on the same level.
Unless it is a talent of the sky, otherwise, a soldier who does not know a lot of characters should be trained to become a qualified officer, and this time will take years to become a unit.
