Compared to Runkel, Will's reason for coming to Cuba is much simpler, this guy just wants to return to the barracks and continue the life of a soldier in the barracks.
Confirming that the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment could be trusted, Will immediately took action, selected more than 100 soldiers with riding skills from the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, established a cavalry company, and named himself the company commander, and left Guantanamo with the cavalry company to start the training of the cavalry company.
Will's riding skills began to be reliable, so Li Mu didn't get in the way, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of Will's wish.
What made Li Mu quite unhappy was that Adrian didn't go with Will, but stayed at Guantanamo, which made Li Mu really a little tired.
However, this objectively also reflects Will's disappointment in Adrian, if Will values Adrian, he should take Adrian with him and train him carefully, instead of leaving Adrian in Guantanamo and letting Adrian live under Li Mu's obscenity.
What made Li Mu even more speechless was that Adrian didn't know it, and he followed Gloria every day to be courteous, as if he decided that this was his entry level.
Although this kind of behavior is despicable, it is undeniable that this is the best choice for twenty years less struggle, and the key is that Gloria does not seem to be disgusted with Adrian's hospitality, which makes Li Mu feel a little bad.
Fortunately, Li Mu has the best intelligence officer Sandy, and Sandy can't get used to Adrian, so he will report to Li Mu in every detail, which makes Li Mu feel a lot more at ease.
"Gloria doesn't like Adrian's sissy at all, and while I don't know why Gloria had Adrian by her side, I'm sure of that."
Sandy rides Aubrey for a walk with Li Mu, which is one of the tasks that Will gives Sandy, to supervise Li Mu to practice riding.
To tell the truth, riding is one of the few things that Li Mu can't do, Li Mu has been practicing riding since last year, but he has not made much progress, although in the eyes of laymen can be regarded as presentable, but in the eyes of a big expert like Will, Li Mu's riding skills are simply buried in the "black horse" and "night jade lion" two good horses.
Li Mu didn't care, anyway, Li Mu didn't want to be a cavalryman, so riding skills were dispensable for Li Mu, just be able to ride a horse and escape at a critical moment, those fancy tricks didn't mean anything to Li Mu, Li Mu was past the age to rely on these things to attract the attention of the little girl.
"Adrian is so disgusting, once I actually heard Adrian sing Katyusha to Gloria, I really can't imagine a big man's posture, I still feel sick when I think about it now."
Sandy continued to complain, and stroked her arm with her hand, presumably goosebumps.
And there is such a thing Li Mu was sure that Gloria should not look down on such a straw bale.
Katyusha's song is magical, it can be sung heroically, it can also be sung very gently, of course, it can also be sung very sissy, it mainly depends on the person's understanding of the song.
Adrian is really good at picking, doesn't Adrian know that Katyusha was made up by Li Mu If Adrian didn't know, it would be interesting In this way, Adrian is a spare tire.
"Sandy, is there anything you have always wanted to do, but have never done" Li Mu wanted to reward Sandy, such an intelligence officer is still rare.
"What I've always wanted to do" Sandy tilted her head and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I want to go to the moon to see" Li Mu was immediately embarrassed by God, this matter I really can't do it At least not now "This one doesn't work, change another one."
Li Mu was defeated and retreated.
"Then forget it" Sandy was not interested, and did not continue to ask.
The little girl is still very coaxing, the key is that the information in this year is not developed enough, Sandy is still a child, before coming to Cuba, Sandy even thought that the world was as big as Springfield Oh no, Sandy has also been to Washington "It's better like this, after a few days of successful paragliding test flight, I will take you to the sky for a circle, where will be closer to the moon."
Li Mu finally thought of a good way.
"Wow, wow," Sandy immediately clapped in surprise, with both arms raised parallel to the ground.
The two talked and laughed, and before they knew it, they came to the top of the hill outside the barracks, in front of which Tom was leading a team of soldiers for tactical training, and Li Mu and Sandy stopped to watch.
Tom's training was still very good, and as Tom's whistle sounded, the four-man horizontal column on the march quickly changed into a single queue, and the soldiers were holding guns in their hands, pointing at Tom's saber and raising their guns to aim.
This is the legendary "thin red line".
No, in Cuba, this should be a thin green line.
In the Crimean War twenty years ago, the British used this tactic to defeat several times their own Russian cavalry, and eventually made the "thin red line tactic" famous all over the world.
The Americans are the sons of the British, so the tactics of the British army are very marketable in the US military units, and the "thin red line tactic" is of course no exception, and during the Civil War, the "thin red line tactic" was once again carried forward, and if there were no exceptions, it should not be until the First World War that the "thin red line tactic" would disappear in front of heavy machine guns and dense artillery.
Although for now, the "thin red line tactic" is definitely the most advanced tactic, but in Li Mu's view, this tactic is already absolutely backward, there are already heavy machine guns appearing, and the caliber of artillery will become larger and larger in the future, if the tactics are not changed, then the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment will suffer sooner or later.
Li Mu didn't want the troops he had built with a lot of money to be crushed by heavy machine guns and artillery, so Li Mu felt that he should communicate with Will.
That's right, since Li Mu promised not to interfere in the training of the troops, then he must give Will and Tom the greatest degree of autonomy, so even if Li Mu has ideas, he will communicate with Will and Tom in private, and will not point it out directly on the training ground, which will damage the prestige of the instructors.
Of course, changing tactics is not an easy task, and soldiers are very stubborn about maintaining traditions, and it is difficult to get them to admit that the tactics of the troops are outdated unless they are hurting.
For Will, who returned to the barracks, it was especially important to maintain the tradition: "What is the skirmish line, no, Reem, I don't think the thin red line tactics are outdated, in fact this tactic is playing an important role, in the Civil War we relied on the thin red line tactics to defeat the Southerners, George Dewey also relied on the thin red line tactics in El Christo to repel the Spaniards, there is no evidence that the thin red line tactics are outdated, but this skirmish line of yours has not been verified in any way, so Ream, Let's go back to what you're familiar with. ” At dinner, Will, who had been out for a day, heard the "straggler line" proposed by Li Mu, and immediately laughed disdainfully.
Will admits that when it comes to making money, Will is not as good as Li Mu, but when it comes to fighting, Will thinks he is better than Li Mu, a coward, ten streets away, look at what Li Mu is afraid of death, and he has to bring ten or twenty people with him when he goes out casually in Springfield, and Amis was not so excessive at the beginning.
"Will, the emergence of tactics is based on the renewal of the way of war, the current war is not the same as the war twenty years ago, twenty years ago there were no heavy machine guns, the artillery was inconvenient to move, and it could not provide effective support for the troops in field conditions, and now there are heavy machine guns, and the movement of artillery is becoming more and more aspect, the future war is based on the ferocity of firepower, and it is inappropriate to use dense formations at this time, think about it, even if it is a small-caliber artillery that can accompany the troops in the future, One shot can also kill all creatures within a few tens of square meters, and at this time, holding on to the thin red line tactics is no longer a queue to be shot, but a queue to die.
Li Mu did not give up, in order to correct Will's misunderstanding, Li Mu was also bitter.
In fact, the example given by Will is not appropriate, in the first battle of El Christo that has just ended, if it were not for the lack of artillery of the Spaniards, George Dewey's men would have been killed and wounded long ago, and they would not have been able to wait for follow-up reinforcements to arrive in El Christo.
Just after the arrival of ten Gatlings at the front, the Spaniards' offensive quickly collapsed, and the casualties were too large for Willenniculau to bear, which fully demonstrated that even under the existing conditions, the "thin red line tactic" had failed.
"What you said is not right, heavy machine guns and artillery have serious hidden dangers, the biggest problem of inconvenient carrying, field battles generally break out suddenly, your heavy machine guns and artillery have not yet completed combat preparations, my soldiers have already lined up in a neat line to defeat you, how can there be any queue waiting for death."
Will's counter-attack was also sharp, which is where Will's confidence lies.
In fact, since the beginning of the heavy machine gun armament during the Civil War, it is not that no one has seen the shortcomings of the "thin red line tactic", and the reason why George Dewey still uses the "thin red line tactic" is the same as what Will said, that is, because the enemies of the "thin red line tactic" such as heavy machine guns and artillery are congenitally insufficient.
So why did the "thin red line tactics" collapse during the First World War Because of the progress of science and technology, the emergence of automobiles has finally changed the problem of inconvenient artillery carrying, manpower can not be pushed can be dragged by cars, and the improvement of the weapon itself has also promoted the development of tactics, don't forget that during the Civil War, heavy machine guns have just appeared, and the performance is far from complete, until the Makqin heavy machine gun appears, the heavy machine gun will really become the master of the war.
There is also the problem of smokeless gunpowder, you must know that in the era of black powder, gunpowder residue has always been an unsolvable problem, so that during the Sino-Japanese War between the Qing and Japan, the famous "Makqin" was actually evaluated as "unusable", which is really speechless.

In this regard, Li Mu's invention of smokeless gunpowder was the main driving force behind the burial of the "thin red line tactic"
