Chapter 303: A Grand Versailles Scene by the Guard Corps (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Not far from the Champagne Corps Garrison, thousands of soldiers craned their necks, peering downward. The staff had even prepared a dozen binoculars for their turn to use.

Soon, they saw a thin white line of soldiers sprinting out from the drill ground on the other side, moving at a speed so fast it was unbelievable to them—if they were to run at that pace, they would collapse from exhaustion after at most 1 kilometer.

Yet, the soldiers of the Guard Corps maintained this high speed almost the entire time.

A Champagne Corps soldier who had grabbed a pair of binoculars suddenly exclaimed, "They're carrying something on their backs!"

The others quickly snatched the binoculars and echoed in surprise, "That's right, they're carrying guns, and blankets..."

One of the General Staff officers heard the soldiers' discussions and said with a smile, loudly, "Each of them is carrying 18 pounds—cough, we should be using the standard measurement now, which is 9 kilograms of weight."
