Chapter 238 Siege of the City

Chapter 238 Siege of the City
"Demacia, come here, come and sign up!"

A strong man with luggage on his back, who looked like he had traveled a long way, waved to his friend.

The man called Demacia is also very strong, standing with his friend Noxus, even a layman can tell that the two of them have definitely served in the army and fought in battle!

This kind of person is the most welcome recruit at the French Defense Force recruitment site established by Li Wei!
The two even skipped the steps of the physical examination, and the person in charge of the registration only glanced at the figures of Demacia and Nocassus, and let them pass to obtain the quota of recruits.

Afterwards, the two received enough dry food for three days, which was their first benefit after entering the army.

"Noxus, I didn't expect the original rebel leader Li Wei to be so generous. After entering Paris, he seemed to be a different person. He was willing to pay to support us veterans who can only kill."

"Demacia, we don't want to join the army for the rest of our lives. Chief Consul Li Wei is just to resist the invasion of the Anti-French Alliance.

This French Civil War has left our motherland covered in wounds and starved to death. It is incomparable to the power of the Kingdom of France. How could Livy fight against the invasion of the Anti-French Alliance if he didn't recruit veterans like us who had fought for the Jacobins? ?
Hmph, when the anti-French coalition enters Paris, the first unlucky one will be the dictator Li Wei. "

"Shh!

Noxus, now that Levi is the chief consul of the French Republic, he can no longer open his mouth and shut up as a dictator. If the government hears it, he will be penalized, and it will be enough for us in the military.

I heard that Li Wei's government is very strict with the army, so we have to keep our mouths shut. "

"I know, I know.

Anyway, there are no outsiders now, so I have nothing to worry about chatting with you, brother.

Demacia, have you heard the rumor? "

Demacia looked at Noxus suspiciously, and asked curiously, "What rumor?"

Noxus glanced at the crowd around him, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Li Wei is a devil who can hypnotize and is best at controlling people's hearts. The reason why Li Wei's black dragon army is not afraid of death in battle is because Li Wei Wei hypnotized his mind and became no longer himself!
Are you afraid that we will also be hypnotized after joining Li Wei's army? "

Demacia smiled and punched Noxus in the chest: "I didn't expect you to believe this rumor?!

If Levi was really a devil from hell, God would have struck down with lightning.

If God doesn't care about this, is there any need for a war when a devil is wreaking havoc in the world?
Li Wei has also appeared in many public places. He is just an ordinary man and has slept with many women!

I have never heard that devils also like human women, haha. "

Noxus nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's true, the devil can't be as bad as Levi.

But the Black Dragon Legion is really evil, and the soldiers who entered the Black Dragon Legion are really not afraid of death, so there must be some kind of way in it. "

Demacia continued to laugh heartlessly: "What's the secret, won't we know everything when we get to Paris?"

At this moment, a hasty assembly whistle suddenly sounded in the distance, and Noxus and Demacia hurriedly stood up and followed the flow of recruits to the assembly point.

Soon, Demacia and Noxus discovered that it was not the legendary Black Dragon Legion that was escorting them, but the standing legion under Li Wei's command. They happened to be going to Paris for reorganization, so they escorted them along the way.

Of course, there is no longer the establishment of the Standing Legion and the Black Dragon Legion. These are people's customary names. After the reorganization is completed, the French Republic will only have one regular army, the French Republic Defense Force!

Demacia, who was slowly moving forward with the team, touched Noxus with his elbow, pointed to the flag held by the standing army escorting them and said:
"Noxus, see?
That was the red, white and blue flag of the original revolutionary government!
Li Wei even changed his own army to this kind of national flag. It seems that Li Wei is really willing to accept the results of the French Revolution. We don't have to worry that France will become what it used to be! "

"What's so strange about this is that Li Wei even pulled out his garrison regiment to reorganize it, and also issued a government announcement saying that all local security regiments will be reorganized into police in the future to streamline the armed forces of the French Republic.

From now on, in the French Republic, the National Defense Forces are responsible for fighting and defending the territory of France, and the police are responsible for law and order and suppressing bandits.

Of course, this is just a military reform in the French Republic. I don't know what's going on in the colonies. "

After hearing this, Demacia couldn't help but reveal a pilgrim-like look on her face and said to herself: "That's great.

The French Civil War has ceased, and Li Wei, the largest rebel leader, has also corrected his evil ways. From now on, we French people no longer have to kill each other, and our guns can finally be pointed at the enemies outside! "

"Yes, our generation has experienced too much suffering, and it is time to usher in the light.

I hope that Chief Consul Livy will not break his promise, and it would be better if those nobles can be completely banned. "

"The Parliament of the French Republic has submitted a proposal to turn nobility into an honorary title, but it has not been approved yet. With Li Wei's attitude of maintaining the French Republic system, it will not take long to completely abolish the privileges and fiefdoms of nobility. The French Revolutionary idea of ​​true equality for all."

…………

The two spent a long journey while chatting.

During the journey, the original standing army under Li Wei's command did not have the slightest hostility in the past. It is estimated that even they themselves believe that the wind vane in the National Defense Force will completely change in the future.

However, after arriving in Paris, his painting style changed suddenly.

Demacia and Noxus, like other recruits, looked up at the barracks surrounded by tall walls with puzzled faces.

"Why did you surround the barracks with such a high wall? Those who didn't know thought it was a prison..."

Demacia said with a puzzled expression.

"I feel an ominous atmosphere, this barracks may really be a prison!"

Noxus replied with a serious face.

"Noxus, don't scare me, the sign of the barracks outside is hanging there, although I can't read much, I still know these few words!

Besides, we came to join the army to help Li Wei fight, so what good would it do them to lock us up?
The Anti-French Alliance has already reached Verdun, so Levi will never surrender to the Anti-French Alliance.

Even if a person like Li Wei betrayed the revolution and the Republic, I don't believe he would be a dog to the Anti-French Alliance. "

"That's right, maybe I was too worried. After all, the soldiers of the standing legion under Li Wei's command also went in together."

In fact, it is not up to Noxus and Demacia to enter or not enter the military camp. After arriving in Paris, the standing legions responsible for escorting them were disarmed in the name of reorganization. Now those responsible for maintaining order are the system soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion. .

Demacia and Noxus soon learned the brutality of the Black Dragonflight soldiers!
However, under the sharp bayonet, the two men, like other recruits, suffered silently.

As veterans who have served in the army, Noxus and Demacia are well aware of how harsh the punishment in the army is, not to mention the black dragon army known for its brutality and military discipline.

Not long after entering the gate of the barracks, Demacia saw in horror that a bunch of skinny bodies were tied up on the wooden stakes, stripped of their shirts and exposed to the scorching sun!

"This...what's the matter?"

Demacia is not alone in raising this question. Many recruits have similar questions. After all, these few people who look like they are still breathing are not far away from death.

After seeing this scene, Noxus whispered to Demacia with an embarrassed expression: "I am afraid that the training of new recruits in the National Defense Forces is more stringent than we expected. These people should be unlucky ones who made mistakes in training."

Before Noxus could finish speaking, an official enlightened by the administration came in front of many recruits, stood on a high place and pointed at those who were tied to wooden stakes and shouted: "Come to the National Defense Forces recruit training camp!" Finally, everyone must strictly abide by the military discipline here.

Otherwise it will be like them!
Serious cases may even be executed by shooting!

Next, I started to talk about military discipline, I hope everyone will keep it in mind, if you can’t remember it, just ask your companions and the instructors in charge of your training! "

Soon, the not-so-complicated terms of military discipline spread to the ears of the recruits, and after the lectures were over, they began to be assigned housing.

Demacia suddenly grabbed Noxus, pointed in one direction and said: "Look, those people are the standing legionaries who escorted us, and they were assigned to the same place as us.

This dormitory area is full of recruits like us who have just entered the camp, and there is no recruit who has entered the camp before, which is strange. "

"Rather than this trivial issue, I'm more worried about whether our instructors will punish us corporally."

At this moment, several gunshots suddenly sounded in the distance, making Demacia and Noxus tense up suddenly.

Afterwards, the two of them saw a blood-stained corpse being dragged out of the barracks by two soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion.

When the recruits gathered, the official who preached military discipline stood up again and said to many recruits: "This is the punishment for trying to escape from the barracks. You are not allowed to go out until you have completed the 30-day training in the first month." This camp, otherwise you will be shot!
Everyone should have seen the surrounding walls, which are measures to prevent deserters. "

"Sir, we are here to join the army. There is no need to do this. We are not prisoners after all!"

The official glanced at the recruit who opened his mouth, and ordered to the infantry guards around him: "Refute the command of the commander in public, drag it out and beat ten army sticks!"

Then, in the midst of exclamations, the talkative recruit was dragged to a high place by two infantrymen who were stronger than him, stripped off his trousers, and beat him violently with a stick in front of everyone...

Leaving aside the pain, the humiliation of being taken off their pants in public made the recruits deeply aware of the horror of the National Defense Forces boot camp.

"Report sir, I want to quit the Defense Force now, is that okay?"

The official glanced sternly at the recruits who made a sound, and then warned everyone: "During the recruit training period, no exit is allowed, unless you leave this barracks in the form of corpses.

However, after the recruit training is completed, no one will interfere with your stay. Even if you take off your military uniform immediately, you can still get the equivalent of two months of your military salary as settlement expenses. "

"Two months of military pay!
That's a lot of money for completing a month of boot training, we've made a lot of money, Demacia! "

Noxus said with bright eyes, his dissatisfaction with the French Defense Forces boot camp was immediately forgotten.

The military pay for these two months is based on the standard of the National Defense Forces, and the military salary standard of the National Defense Forces is double that of the National Salvation Revolutionary Army that Noxus participated in before!
Demacia also showed joy on his face, but he still remained vigilant: "I hope these officers can fulfill his promise by then."

Noxus patted Demacia's shoulder excitedly: "Relax, the promise made by an official like him in front of so many recruits will definitely be fulfilled, otherwise he will just cause trouble for himself.

No matter how bad it is, just wait until our instructors come and ask. No one will lie about this kind of thing. Otherwise, after so many recruits have completed training, how can the officers lead the troops? "

When Demacia thought about it, she felt that she was indeed a bit unfounded.

On the day when the recruits entered the camp, the testimony of the criminals with stakes and the execution of deserters greatly frightened these recruits. In the next few days, no one dared to make mistakes, let alone escape from the barracks.

Excluding the strict military discipline, the various infrastructures of the Wehrmacht boot camp are really good.

The barracks outside Paris have undergone repeated military expansion and renovation by the French Revolutionary Government, and there are many things that should be there. Especially during Robespierre's administration, he attached great importance to the military and poured most of his financial resources into the army.

Moreover, the barracks outside Paris had to undertake the task of training armed citizens of Paris at that time, and naturally they had to be equipped with various facilities.

After Li Wei entered Paris, he repaired the Paris barracks outside the city to ensure that its training functions met the requirements of the barracks of the total war system.

However, in just a few days, Demacia and Noxus discovered that some of the recruits who were training with them at the same time started to fight against the instructors as if they were crazy, and some even shot at the executioners of the Black Dragon Legion!
As a result, the recruits from Demacia and Noxus witnessed another shooting scene.

This is considered to be a relatively serious situation, such as nervousness, emotional irritability, etc., which can be found everywhere in the boot camp. What is interesting is that the soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion handle this situation very smoothly, as if they have practiced thousands of times. ...

However, recruits from Demacia and Noxus who don't have a strong dislike for Levi didn't react very much. They just feel that they like the training atmosphere in the barracks more and more!
