18th century total war

Chapter 360 Oath of Allegiance
"Honey, can you not leave me and the child this time?"

Nicholas' wife was lying in his arms, her eyes full of reluctance.

Nicholas shook his head: "No, I'm a major now, and it's hard to get promoted to this rank, you should understand how difficult it is for civilians like us.

Oh, by the way, the current Roman Empire seems to have no promotion ceiling for civilian officers, but this is just an official statement, after all, I still belong to the Army of the Kingdom of Prussia. "

"My dear, the king of the Kingdom of Prussia has surrendered and abdicated, the war is over, why are you leaving here?

Can't you apply for redeployment to a nearby city?

You're already a major. We don't need any future, just a safe place to live. After all, our children can't lose their father. "

Nicholas smiled bitterly: "That's right, the war in Prussia is over.

For this, we should thank Frederick William III. Although he abdicated, he was a benevolent king. Because of his surrender order, millions of Prussians were saved from the suffering of war.

However, don't forget that the Kingdom of Prussia now has a new king, who is still a monarch with endless desire for expansion and war - Levi Charles.

Tomorrow I will be in Berlin for an oath of allegiance to the new King of Prussia.

With the style of Emperor Li Wei, I am afraid that a regular army officer like me will step into the Eastern battlefield and fight the Russians in a short time. "

"Do not!

My dear, we shouldn't fight for a foreign monarch, should we? "

"It's too easy for you to think.

What's more, it is impossible for me to take off this major's military uniform. This military uniform represents the future life guarantee of you, me and our children.

Even if I die, it will be as a major, and the pension is enough to see you and our children through the most difficult times. "

"Honey, I don't understand.

Emperor Livy had an invincible Roman Guards to fight for him. Why did your surrendering army march to the battlefield? "

"Emperor Levi's Roman Guards are direct line troops, and the number is limited. The number of Russian troops is really too much, and the goal of Emperor Levi is not to defeat the Russians, but to destroy the Russian Empire. This requires a large number of troops. The army went to occupy the vast lands of the Russian Empire.

Not to mention the Prussian regular army that surrendered like me, even the Prussian reserve militia, Emperor Li Wei did not let it go.

Since Frederick William III abdicated and Li Wei became the king of Prussia, none of the Prussian troops received a notice of retirement, but were preparing for the expedition.

Including the battalion under my control.

If it weren't for my status as a Major, I wouldn't even be able to get the vacation home to see you and the kids.

But don't worry, Emperor Li Wei won't have too much trust in our army that surrendered to the past. Perhaps in the eyes of Emperor Li Wei, we are just a bunch of trash troops like defeated generals.

My troops and I should only undertake the work of maintaining law and order in the occupied area, without having to go to the frontline battlefield, which is much safer than before.

Alas, now that I think about it, my pledge of allegiance was like feeding a dog, which is ironic.

Freedom and equality, national independence, as long as the war cannot be won, it is nothing but passing smoke.

Have you ever seen my bosses, after the surrender of the Kingdom of Prussia, one by one scrambling to please the officers of the Roman Guards, I saw with my own eyes a Prussian major general reporting to work behind a captain of the Roman Guards .

But that's the privilege of a winner, isn't it? "

"Honey, I don't understand this..."

"Sorry, I talked too much.

But there is one thing I want to tell you.

From now on, we must not talk nonsense about the tyrant Li Wei. The control of public opinion in the Roman Empire is very strict. If we are reported, no one can protect us!

Especially in public places, say more words praising Emperor Li Wei, teach our children personally, let them get used to praising Li Wei on weekdays, this will only be beneficial! "

"Can what we said reach Li Wei's ears?"

Nicholas' wife asked puzzledly.

After all, before this, she was not asked to speak in praise of the King of Prussia!
"There is a high probability that it will not reach the ears of Emperor Li Wei, but the words of praising Emperor Li Wei from time to time can wash away the suspicion between us and the Revolutionary Party.

This is important for the rest of our lives, especially as your husband is in the military, you and the children will only be subject to greater scrutiny and surveillance!

The secret agents of the Roman Empire would not wear uniforms to patrol the streets. What they like to do most is to wear civilian clothes, patrol in crowded public places, and then arrest those civilians and even nobles who say disrespectful words!
This is the job that the Secret Service is most passionate about, and it is related to their work performance.

I also only recently heard about these news.

I have to admit that the control of speech in the Roman Empire was many times stricter than I imagined. However, in the Roman Empire, as long as you controlled your mouth, life was not that difficult.

At least, in the Roman Empire, nobles were not allowed to discriminate against civilians, and nobles were only an honorary title, and they had even been deprived of their fiefdoms.

The private property of civilians can also be protected by the sacred law. Emperor Li Wei deserves to be a monarch who came out of France when the Great Revolution broke out, and the status of civilians is still relatively preferential.

Oh, by the way, it is important for you and your children to memorize the titles on this piece of paper. As the wife of a major, this is very important. "

Nicholas took out a piece of paper full of German words and handed it to his wife.

Thanks to decades of compulsory education in the Kingdom of Prussia, even women can be literate.

Nicholas' wife held the blank paper, looked at the words on it, and recited in a hollow way:

"Emperor of the Roman Empire

king of france

Lord of Piedmont and Savoy

king of italy

Arbiter of the Swiss Confederation

protector of the low countries

Ruler of all provinces, territories, and municipalities of the Rhineland Confederation

king of austria

king of hungary

king of romania
king of serbia
king of bulgaria
Conqueror of the Balkans

protector of the greek viceroyalty

king of danish
King of Prussia...

My God, such a long title belongs to Emperor Li Wei? "

Nicholas nodded and said, "That's right.

This is the current title of Emperor Li Wei. I estimate that after the end of the anti-French war, the title of Emperor Li Wei will become longer.

Ordinary people naturally don't need to memorize this series of titles, but as the wife of a major, you must memorize this series of titles so that you can recite them proficiently during the spot check by the Secret Service.

This represents our loyalty to Emperor Li Wei! "

Nicholas' wife was a little uncomfortable, and murmured: "Are we really going to do these formalistic tasks?
Could it be that being able to recite the title of Emperor Li Wei represents our loyalty? "

Nicholas shrugged: "I don't understand if this can represent loyalty.

However, formalism was very common in the Roman Empire. Almost all holidays in the Roman Empire would sing praises to Emperor Livi's obedience and thank him for his gifts.

Although those who praise the name of Emperor Li Wei have never seen what Emperor Li Wei looked like in their lives.

We don't need to think about formalism, you just need to know that doing so can make us and our children live in the Roman Empire more safely, that's enough! "

Nicholas' wife nodded obediently, and carefully placed the paper filled with the titles of Emperor Li Wei.

With such a long title, it is estimated that she and her children will have to review it frequently...

No way, who told her that her husband is already a major officer?
Although he was only an army officer of the Kingdom of Prussia, his status was not comparable to that of the Roman Guards, but because of this, he was subject to stricter review by the Secret Service.

Nicholas did not tell his wife that the officers and soldiers of the Roman Guards would never be made things difficult by the secret agents, and even the spies of the secret agents met the officers and soldiers of the Roman guards, and their attitude was as obedient as subordinates.

The status of the Roman Guards in the Roman Empire was incredibly high!

Not only the generals of the Roman Guards, but also the soldiers at the bottom!

This was something Nicholas couldn't understand, and he didn't dare to understand it.

However, Nicholas felt that the reason why the officers and soldiers of the Roman Guards carried explosive packs on the battlefield without hesitation was probably because of the lofty social status given to them by Emperor Li Wei.

As for the rumors that the Roman Guards did not have military pay and various benefits, they were just hearsay after all.

As a member of the Prussian Army, Nicholas didn't even dare to inquire about this kind of news.

Of course, Nicholas did not have the slightest desire to join the Roman Guards.

It is said that many of the elite troops with a strong sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Prussia and the militia troops with high combat effectiveness were selected and transferred to the hinterland of the Roman Empire to prepare for the reorganization of the Roman Guards.

Nicholas, who was a member of the ordinary Prussian regular army, happened to be out of this ranks.

This is actually the idea that the cabinet ministers of the Levy government came up with.

They believed that those elite troops with a strong sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Prussia were an unstable bomb. As long as they were not disarmed, it was naturally safest to brainwash them into the Roman Guards.

As for the Prussian reservist militiamen whose combat effectiveness is stretched, it is not because they are worried about their rebellion that they are drawn into the barracks to prepare for brainwashing training, and it is entirely to improve their combat effectiveness.

The Roman Empire is not going to keep a bunch of garbage armies.

On the contrary, the ordinary regular army has good combat effectiveness and rich practical experience, but has a general sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Prussia, and has no worries about being pulled into the barracks for brainwashing training.

This is naturally because the glory value is not enough!

Since the fifth anti-French war has not yet ended, Li Wei's glory value has not been credited yet.

Of course, the Prussian regular army like Nicholas is the majority, and these Prussian regular troops will be used as servants on the battlefield against Russia.

The next day, Nicholas led his troops into Berlin, which was guarded by the Roman Guards with ten steps, one post, five steps and one post.

Nicholas' troops were left outside, and only his own adjutant and all the captains went to the parade stand.

Li Wei doesn't need all the regular Prussian soldiers to take the oath, otherwise Berlin Square wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people...

Only officers above captain can take the oath.

Nicholas stood at the back of the officer corps, looking up at the viewing platform. Emperor Livius, who was wearing a gorgeous military uniform specially made by the emperor, amidst the sound of the salute, he and other officers tilted upward at a 45-degree angle, raised his right arm and shouted at the throat Shouted: "Your Majesty Li Wei! Long live!

Your Majesty Levi!Long live!
His Majesty Li Wei!Long live! "

The chanting of allegiance lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and Nicholas felt that his throat had never been so tired when he was fighting!
I cursed formalism more than once for killing people!

However, he did not dare to show even the slightest bit of impatience on his face. After all, looking down from a height, the expressions of the Prussian officer corps below are clear at a glance. The review process is over...

After Li Wei became the King of Prussia, the Prussian Army immediately knew the horror of the Secret Service of the Roman Empire's internal intelligence work. It was an extralegal place that did not need to pay attention to any moral bottom line!

Once caught by the Secret Service Division, death may be the easiest punishment.

Interrogation experts from most of Europe gathered there.

Of course, Nicholas prefers to call it a tormenting demon.

On the viewing stand, Li Wei looked at the officer corps who had sworn allegiance, and said to the people around him: "Prussian soldiers are just different, they shouted so neatly without much rehearsal.

I think the Prussian soldiers should be able to teach the Russians a profound lesson on the battlefield. "

As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, the Junker noble generals who were present in the Kingdom of Prussia and had surrendered all changed their expressions, because what Li Wei revealed was obvious.

The Prussian regular army not only has to bear the security of the occupied area, it is likely to be pulled to the front line to fight the Russians!
I don't know how many Prussian boys can return to their hometown intact after this war is over...
