Chapter 163: Three Steps
Too big or too small is not appropriate. ◢ With * dream * small ◢.1a
It's too big, it's too messy, the cost of management increases, it's difficult to unify ideas, and it's not necessary.
It's too small, and there's no way to brainstorm ideas.
In the first phase of the military refresher training course, it was originally planned to have only 50 places, but when you count the numbers, there are more than that, and in the end we can only expand the number of students.
One hundred were ordered, of which 80 were named at the beginning, and the remaining 20 were awarded as rewards for this all-army competition, 10 each in the team competition and the individual competition.
Of course, not the entire group can join the team competition, but the group chooses one member to join.
The first phase of the military refresher training course lasts for three months, and after three months, the second batch of trainees will be recruited, and the number is expected to be expanded to 200 to 300 for six months, and then the third batch of trainees will be recruited.
The positioning of the first few batches is that the incumbent officers of the Eternal Night Legion are above the ranks, and they are systematically trained, and many wild ways that have shown signs have been corrected.
After the training of in-service officers is completed, and then on this basis, the Affiliated Officer School of the Eternal Night Legion will be formally established to recruit new students and provide blood for the Eternal Night Legion.
However, that will be at least two years later, and it is still stuck in the development plan of the Eternal Night Legion, and the specific situation still needs to be determined by the actual development.
After all, two years is a long time, at least for the Legion of the Eternal Night.
Two years ago, who would have thought that the legion formed by young people with a few thousand people and a bit of nonsense would become the largest overlord in the Andes Mountains two years later, and the number of people under his control has exceeded 150,000, and it is snowballing towards the 200,000 mark.
According to the preliminary estimate of the Eternal Night Legion, in two years, the number of citizens of the Eternal Night Legion will exceed 500,000.
This is not a random number that the statisticians of the Eternal Night Legion counted with their fingers and a big stroke, but based on the rough statistics of the mountain people in Andes Mountain in the past two years.
In the past two years, the Eternal Night Legion has not only reclaimed the wasteland in the ancient river of Jacob, but also waited for the Andis mountain people to send it to their door.
After having a little more money and opening up the trade routes with the Manyu army, the Legion of the Eternal Night took a positive and enterprising attitude, set up large and small caravans, and began to enter the mountains in groups.
The large caravan was composed of dozens of pack horses, and the small ones were porters composed of three or five people, who entered the mountains in the name of trade, exchanging the materials urgently needed by the mountain people for the skins and herbs piled up in the hands of the mountain people, and later added honey, spider silk, high-quality longbow wood and other mountain specialties.
The price offered by the Eternal Night Legion was quite fair, after all, their purpose was not to extract the wealth from the mountain people, and the three melons and two dates that were taken from them were far less fast than those who were earned from the lords and nobles of the Manyu Army.
The roots of the Legion of the Eternal Night are rooted in the Andes Mountains, and the Andes Mountain Folk are their potential nourishment, so it is natural to treat them as kindly as possible and create a good reputation among them.
These horse teams and porters who entered the mountains were carefully selected and trained to a certain extent, not only young and strong, but also deaf and clear-sighted, able to speak, and after entering the mountains, they were the tongue and ears of the Eternal Night Legion.
Not only can they understand the situation of the mountain people in the mountains, but they can also publicize the policies of the Eternal Night Legion to the mountain people through their mouths, subtly influencing them and paving the way for the future.
The numbers held by the Eternal Night Legion are also cross-compared through their rough statistics, roads traveled, trading volume, etc., just the number of Andes mountain people they can contact is as high as one million, and there are some mountain people hidden in the depths of the mountains, inaccessible mountain people, roughly estimated, the total number of Andis mountain people is two million to three million, only a little more.
The biggest variable for a group is its speed of development.
At this point, the Legion of the Eternal Night is definitely a leader, and even Sean, the initiator, has no way to estimate his potential.
The Eternal Night Legion has developed to this extent, it has its own vitality, and every member of the Eternal Night Legion is an integral part of him, in order to make this group better and work hard, Sean many times, is more of a captain and helmsman.
Even without him, the Legion of the Eternal Night would have been able to move forward at its current pace.
Of course, without Sean, even if there is a wave of people brought out by Marshall, the future achievements of the Eternal Night Legion are basically in sight.
At most, it will take ten or eight years to annex the Walled City Alliance, entrench the entire Andes Mountains, and then plot against the Manyu military leader, at most, bring a bloody storm to the Ashane continent and shake the dominance of the Byron Alliance.
To try to replace the Byron Union is wishful thinking.
The Byron Alliance has ruled the continent of Ashane for so long, it can be called deep-rooted, and if the Legion of Eternal Night breaks out of Andes Mountain, it will be a naked foreign invader, no different from the Odin orcs.
Once it comes to the racial level, the intensity of resistance will inevitably rise several notches.
In Sean's previous life, the history of those non-Han people in the ruling class is the best insight, and at the most intense, he would rather hundreds of thousands of people jump off a cliff and die together than accept foreign rule.
The success of a foreign invasion requires a favorable time and place, in addition to its own strong force, including the weakening of the invader itself to a certain extent.
The Byron alliance is indeed full of problems now, but the main contradiction has not yet reached the level of irreconcilability, especially in terms of force, the Byron alliance is not too weak, but too strong, which has caused internal antagonism and internal friction.
Philip's Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry is the best proof of this, although he is known as the First Heavy Cavalry Legion of the Manyu Army, but in the Broken Blood Castle, he is at best one of the elite, and there is still some distance from the most elite one.
The Golden Camel rode heavily in the middle of the ambush, losing most of his mounts, but still fought stubbornly, and the slave rebels paid a heavy price, only to inflict heavy damage on him, not to eat him in one bite.
They are still like this, how powerful are the Broken Blood Riders who are even more elite than them?
Even if the Eternal Night Legion is ten times stronger, if it wants to plot against the Byron Alliance, it will not be able to do it, this is the consensus of the top management of the Eternal Night Legion.
However, with Sean at the helm, the Legion of the Eternal Night will sail in that direction, which is really difficult to predict.
The third thing is related to the first two, the Eternal Night Legion has developed to the point where it has basically matured, both internally and externally—that is, the establishment of a second legion.
There are currently two options for the way in which a second corps is formed.
One is to start anew, draw the backbone, recruit new soldiers, and form a new legion.
The second is the entire Eternal Night Legion, which is divided into two, and a part of the elite legion is withdrawn to form a new legion, and then both sides are replenished with new recruits at the same time.
Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of the first method is that the strength of the Eternal Night Legion itself will not be greatly affected, and the disadvantage is that in a short period of time, the new legion has no combat effectiveness, and it is purely a bunch of recruit eggs, centripetal force and the like, which need to be gathered little by little.
The second method is different, the Eternal Night Legion is split into two, and the strength of the Eternal Night Legion is affected, but the new Legion has a certain combat effectiveness and cohesion, and the veterans lead the new recruits, which is more efficient, and the disadvantage is that the Eternal Night Legion is completely copied, just like a doppelganger, it is difficult to form its own legion culture.
The top management of the Eternal Night Legion is inclined to the second option, the Eternal Night Legion should now pursue efficiency, rather than the so-called individual legion culture, and the similarity means that it will be less difficult to form a group army in the future.
After repeated discussions, the final tone was set by dismantling and forming an army, but instead of forming a separate army, the specifications of the Eternal Night Army were raised and turned into the Eternal Night Group Army, which was split into the main force of the first army and the main force of the second army, and was expanded.
As for the establishment of a new regiment, it will not be too late to form a new army when the military academy is opened, with them as the team.
Due to the complete preparation, the Eternal Night Army, no, should change its name to the second all-army competition of the Eternal Night Group Army, did not disappoint, but there was no big surprise, and there were no top-notch figures that made people shine.
This is not a bad thing, if such a character really emerges, it means that the Eternal Night Group Army has a big problem in the selection of talents, at least there are loopholes.
Judging from the current situation, the Eternal Night Group Army has done a relatively good job in this regard, and those outstanding talents have been recruited into the Eternal Night Group Army, even if they participate in the all-army competition, it is also within the plan, and it is naturally not an unexpected surprise.
Compared with the first all-army competition, this year's all-army competition has been improved as a whole.
Last year, there were a lot of indiscriminate subordinates at the knight-level level, and if there is no knight-level strength this year, he will not even be qualified to come to power.
Since the whole army has the name of martial arts competition, it is natural that it should give priority to martial arts, and whether it is a team competition or an individual competition, it is all about advocating the supremacy of force, and even if it is tactical, it is also a part of force.
It's mediocre, naturally there's nothing to describe.
After all, this is not a knight, there are not so many dark and reversal slapping face-slapping plots, and the dark horse is not so easy to kill.
is obviously a genius, he has to pretend to be an ordinary person, and he jumps out at a critical moment to pretend to be a coercion who slaps his face, Sean has lived two lives, and he has never seen this kind of egg-hurting character with his own eyes.
It's not without genius, but it's the right thing to do right to show your uniqueness from the beginning, get more resources to tilt, accelerate your growth, and keep yourself ahead of your peers.
No, it should be a normal person's practice.
For a legion, it is more desirable to go according to plan, the kind of unplanned things, whether it is surprise or bad news, are not pleasant.
Andes Tiger Rabindranath Tagore is the only outside witness to this legion contest.
From his expression, it was not difficult to see that the strength displayed by the Eternal Night Legion really shocked him.
He has always looked down on the Legion of the Eternal Night, that is, he subconsciously thinks that he is an upstart with no background, even if he is captured, he relies on conspiracy methods, but judging from the current situation, it is far from the case.
The Eternal Night Legion not only catches up with the top strength, but even the backbone is not bad at all, as long as they are given another three or five years to cultivate a group of great knights and complete the power pyramid, then they will really gain a firm foothold.
During this time, McGee the Skullcrusher accompanied Tagore, drinking a day and drinking a lot for three days, and the relationship was increasing day by day, regardless of whether it was a relationship between wine and meat, at least let this mouth owe the master, without the initial mouth full of feces, occasional spray, but also a spray between familiar friends, without the original strong malice.
Whenever there is communication, the relationship will be eased.
If you don't even communicate because of suspicion, the relationship between the two sides will always be frozen there.
In this regard, it was McGee the Skullcrusher who walked in front of Sean, and he used his own stupid method to tear Tagore apart and crush it little by little, and put it in front of Sean.
In fact, Andes Tiger Tagore is a very pure person, when the tiger child career, he had a great impact on him, directly affected the formation of his worldview, he admired the law of the jungle, and the big fist is the king.
It's not that there is no concept of family affection in his eyes, but his concept of family affection is a little different from ordinary people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, human life is paramount, and when human life is threatened, other lives such as wild beasts can be abandoned.
In the eyes of Andes Tiger Tagore, although he does not put the life of the beast above the human life, he really doesn't care much about human life, in his eyes the human may be just another beast, when the two sides conflict, who to help depends entirely on the relationship with him, depending on his mood.
If it is placed in Sean's previous life, Tagore is a typical disregard for the law, disregard for human life, a potential sociopathic murderer, and prison will be his final destination.
But in the legal desert of the Andes Mountains, there is no problem, not only is there no problem, but there are even many followers, because many mountain people, for many years, have followed the law of the jungle, just mixed with some human lovers, in essence, there is not much difference.
If the Eternal Night Army was a country with sound laws and a stable internal and external environment, Sean would not hesitate to push Tagore onto the gallows, even if the other party was a champion knight.
Unfortunately, no.
Everyone knew that the current calm of the Eternal Night Army was temporary, and when they developed to a certain level, even if no one was looking for trouble for them, they would find trouble for others.
Any force, when it develops to a certain extent, in order to obtain more resources, is bound to expand externally, which has nothing to do with justice, but is a survival instinct.
In modern society, this survival instinct comes from the recognition that if you are backward, you will be beaten.
This relatively backward feudal society stems from the desire for land, and the more land you occupy, the more wealth you have, and the more powerful you are, which is a truth that the most ignorant farmers know.
If you lose a military leader, the Byron Alliance will only be one out of eight, no, it should be one out of seven, but if it is placed on the Eternal Night Army, it will be wiped out.
The faster the development of the force, the stronger the expansion, the same in ancient and modern China and abroad.
Defense aside, when it comes to offense, people like Andes Tiger Tagore will be an incomparably sharp blade.
For a man like Tagore, it is not very difficult to surrender prisoners, and his gamble with McGee the Skullcrusher is not pure ploy, but to a large extent, he really thinks so.
But even if this is confirmed, Sean is not ready to use this method, there are many ways to show his muscles, why do you have to be the stupidest and most unreliable?
The all-army contest is a very good platform, and judging from the current situation, the results are good.
Once Sean decides to woo someone, it's not just a single method, like McGee the Skull-Crusher, but a multi-pronged combination.
On McGee's side, Sean didn't care, he still let him play the emotional card, but told the wine shop to mix some high-grade wine and send it to him, and it was not a matter of always stealing medical standard alcohol, although it was made of pure grain, if he drank too much, even if he was two champion knights, it was easy to have an accident, and the taste was far from good.
Rabindranath Tagore was also released from prison, but around the clock, accompanied by two pseudo-champion knights and a dog.
Needless to say, these are the three idleest members of the Eternal Night Army - McGee the Skull-Crusher, Bunzi, and Patton.
In the territory of the Eternal Night Army, Sean does not need personal protection, and after the Champion Knight Devil Training Program is over, Bun and the head dog Barton have entered a decadent leisure time again, in addition to eating and drinking, it is to bask in the sun and maintain the most basic training, including the head dog Barton.
Sean is now basically insulated from hunting, Barton is useless as a natural hero, life is too good, his weight is naturally skyrocketing, and in order to live a few more years, he is trying to be a weight loss fitness dog.
After drinking too much, it is not uncommon for the three of them to fight, which makes McGee and Baozi, the skull-crusher, the fastest on the road to the growth of a champion knight, and no matter how good the training is, it is not as good as a champion knight being a sparring partner around the clock.
Sean's real killer weapon against Andes Tiger Tagore is to artificially put a halo on him - the halo of loyalty.
Hold him high, let everyone believe in his loyalty, after a long time, he himself believed, in order to maintain this aura, when doing things, he couldn't help but have concerns.
And don't worry that Tagore is not in the trap, he loves to be flamboyant and likes to be in the limelight, which is destined to make him have no resistance to this kind of trick.
When he joined the Walled City Alliance, he was touted by Clayton the Scavenger.
There was no surprise or joy in the army's large-scale military competition, and the military refresher training course and the dismantling of the army to form the Yongye Group Army were a matter of course.
After all, so much preparatory work has been done, and there is no external interference, if it still can't succeed, the execution ability of the Eternal Night Group Army will really be in trouble.
