      Chapter 90 The New Direction for Earthwork Employment! Cover
      by karlmaks At 11:30 that night, Morin was woken up from his sleep by a messenger and rushed to the Battalion Headquarters. This was the final pre-battle meeting, primarily for synchronization and to confirm the ultimate time of attack. Inside the tent, Major Thomas's expression was already in full 'combat mode.' “Gentlemen, we have just received orders from Division Headquarters.” He pulled out a golden pocket watch and placed it on the upper left corner of the map. “The unified start time for…

      Chapter 89 Klaus, Take Note…

      Chapter 89 Klaus, Take Note… Cover
      by karlmaks This news energized the Company Commanders present. They might not have paid much attention to heavy machine guns before, but now they all knew the lethality of the weapon. Besides artillery, it was the most reliable source of fire support for infantry during both attack and defense. Major Thomas’s gaze once again fell upon Morin: “First Lieutenant Morin, you previously achieved quite good results by directing a heavy machine gun team to advance, and your 1st Company is responsible for the…

      Chapter 88: The Bud of Tactical Thinking Cover
      by karlmaks Morin entered the battalion headquarters tent with a forced surge of energy. Major Thomas, at this moment, was looking quite energetic. Well, Field-grade officers do have military horses to ride, after all... He was standing before a simple camp table, on which a military map had already been spread out. Once the four Company Commanders were all present, Major Thomas went straight to the point, circling a place name on the map. “Gentlemen, this is the objective of our 1st Battalion’s…

      Chapter 87: Field March

      Chapter 87: Field March Cover
      by karlmaks Upon returning to the company garrison, Morin immediately sought out Company Sergeant Major Klaus. The quick-witted veteran was already packing his personal belongings, including his Second Class Iron Cross medal, before Morin even arrived. Upon learning that they were heading back to the front, Klaus’s expression also became solemn. Although Morin hadn't specified the exact combat mission, Klaus knew very well that after the entire 8th Division entered Seville, the unit would no longer operate…

      Chapter 86 Rest Period Ends

      Chapter 86 Rest Period Ends Cover
      by karlmaks Far away in the 1st Company's temporary garrison in the Kingdom of Aragon. Compared to the turbulent political climate in Paris, the atmosphere here, closer to the center of the conflict, was much more relaxed. For the soldiers on the front line, the political maneuvering in Paris was too distant. They were more concerned with what they would eat for the next meal, when they could take a hot bath... And whether the Company Commander would increase their training. This afternoon was a rare…

      Chapter 85: The Paris ‘Card Table’

      Chapter 85: The Paris ‘Card Table’ Cover
      by karlmaks While Morin was preparing to demonstrate his skills on the Aragon front line, conducting training and validation for infantry tactical improvements, the city of Paris, the capital of the Gallic Republic far away, was enveloped in a delicate political atmosphere. The Élysée Palace, the former imperial palace of the Gallic Emperor, now served as the center of power for the Gallic Republic. And in recent days, the eyes of all Paris, and indeed all of Europa, were focused on this ancient…

      Chapter 84: The Untrodden Path Cover
      by karlmaks “First Lieutenant Morin, I know that in the street fighting in Seville, you employed some... unconventional tactics, and achieved very good results.” The Crown Prince spoke with a kind demeanor. Morin knew this was likely the main topic of the meeting. “Your Highness, I dare not yet call them tactics. I merely made some attempts at improvisation on the battlefield, based on the actual situation.” Morin answered modestly. Excessive assertiveness in front of these true dignitaries would…

      Chapter 83: Second Class Iron Cross

      Chapter 83: Second Class Iron Cross Cover
      by karlmaks Crown Prince Georg smiled and returned Major Thomas’s salute, then, accompanied by Lieutenant General Mackensen and others, walked toward the impeccably arrayed honor guard. His pace was unhurried. He walked past the first rank, his gentle yet keen eyes sweeping across the face of every soldier. Morin stood at the very front of the 1st Company's formation, his saber resting diagonally on his shoulder. Under the greatest pressure, he could clearly feel the Crown Prince's gaze lingering on him for a…

      Chapter 82: Inspection

      Chapter 82: Inspection Cover
      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 81 New Recruits are Easily Moulded

      Chapter 81 New Recruits are Easily Moulded Cover
      by karlmaks The veterans who had fought under Morin before were completely and unconditionally committed to the current high-intensity training regime of the 1st Company. They had personally experienced the brutality of heavy machine gun suppression and street fighting, and knew that the seemingly 'torturous' training they were undergoing now could save lives on the battlefield. The non-commissioned officers in each platoon were even stricter in their demands on the soldiers under their command. They were not…
