Chapter 199: A New Nickname

by karlmaks — From August 12th to August 14th, the entire operational area under the Second Army Group underwent earth-shattering changes. With the complete fall of the Namur Fortress Cluster and the decisive control over Charleroi, the main forces of the Saxon Second Army Group and the Ludendorff Battle Group, like floodgates opened, rapidly deployed along both banks of the Sambre River. The spearhead of two hundred and sixty thousand troops was aimed directly at the heartland of the Gallic Republic. On the…

Chapter 231: Command from the Sky

by karlmaks — Countless unit tokens representing both enemy and friendly forces flashed and moved clearly on the map. Every unit’s designation, troop strength, and casualty status were presented to him in data form. Morin’s gaze quickly found the position of his Imperial Guards First Instruction Assault Battalion on the map. He saw that Steiner’s 4th Company and the Battalion Headquarters unit were still holding the South Bank bridgehead of the railway bridge, establishing a secure evacuation route based on…

Chapter 263: We Received Support from an Armored Airship

by karlmaks — Morin, lying in the shell crater, gasped for air, but his nostrils were filled with the acrid smell of smoke mixed with blood. He had just survived a life-or-death duel. Although he had won, the feeling of his heart trying to leap out of his throat had not completely subsided. He glanced at the corpse of the 'Sentinel' he had dragged into the crater. The enemy's dark gold mask reflected a faint glow in the dim light. These Gaulish Battlemages were completely different creatures from the Britannian…

Chapter 295: Imperial Guard Instruction Assault Unit

by karlmaks — "Imperial Guard," this term directly defined the status and affiliation of this unit. Without limiting it to specific formations like battalion, regiment, brigade, or division, but establishing it independently as "Unit X," granted it great flexibility. The detailed planning section of the proposal also verified Albert II's speculation. The current plan was to first expand this unit into a full-strength reinforced regiment-level unit. In the future, it could be further expanded to brigade-level…

Chapter 82: Inspection

by karlmaks — When Morin received the news that His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince would be inspecting the troops, he was leading the soldiers of the 1st Company in practicing earthwork. In fact, the Saxon Army, and armies worldwide, already had the concept of digging trenches, but they were mostly shallow, 'half-man-deep' early trenches where soldiers would lean forward. Human armies have a long tradition of building field fortifications, but at this time, it was not yet thorough or systematized. Morin was…

Chapter 114 The Squad Firepower Problem

by karlmaks — Compared to attending a banquet, Morin found he preferred contemplating unit organization and equipment issues. And once he entered that state, he couldn't help but keep thinking. So, after considering the weapons for the assault team members, Morin felt that the riflemen should not be neglected either. Currently, all infantry in the Imperial Army were equipped with bolt-action rifles. Their accuracy was indeed good, but the rate of fire was too slow. In the increasingly fast-paced, rapidly…

Chapter 146: Benchwarmer

by karlmaks — “You’re half right.” Morin nodded in approval. “Think about it, what kind of unit is our Instruction Assault Battalion that we are training?” Morin did not wait for Manstein to answer, but began to analyze on his own. “We are a direct unit of the General Staff, bearing the title of ‘Imperial Guards,’ and we are a pilot unit that the Crown Prince personally oversaw and strongly supported.” “Sounds like a grand title, right?” Manstein subconsciously nodded. “But…

Chapter 178: Defensive Deployment for Street Fighting

by karlmaks — The Instruction Assault Battalion had suffered over one hundred and ten casualties after the capture of Liège Fortress, the surprise attack on Charleroi, and the brief but fierce cavalry engagement. Excluding those with minor injuries who could still fight, the actual combat reduction was already close to one-tenth of the unit. Morin knew clearly that compared to the bloody battle they were about to face, the previous engagements were, at best, mere ‘appetizers.’ General Ludendorff’s order was…

Chapter 210: Saxon-Style Tachanka

by karlmaks — After the Instruction Assault Battalion tore open the breach, the main force infantry of the ‘Assault Battle Group’ continuously poured through the gap. Once the follow-up infantry completely stabilized the line, Morin did not hesitate. He led the newly regrouped 1st Company to continue the forward assault. He sent out several Dispatch Riders: some to notify the other three companies to converge on the 1st Company’s position, and others to inform the allied forces to keep pace and provide cover.…

Chapter 242: Behind a Successful Man

by karlmaks — In a secluded laboratory at the Imperial Arcane Technology Institute in the suburbs of Dresden, Patricia von Seeckt frowned, staring intently at a pile of complex and delicate Magic Guided components. She wore a pristine white lab coat, her golden hair meticulously pinned back, revealing a clean forehead and refined profile. At this moment, her face, usually marked by aristocratic pride, was etched with frustration. “No... still no! The Magic Crystal oscillator frequency cannot stabilize! The energy…
