Duke touched his nose and stubbornly told some of the previous knowledge he had recalled in combination with what he had seen today.

"First of all, the way you train recruits can be stopped, swords are no longer something that these people continue to spend a lot of effort learning. I will let the anvil meet the equipment needs of the whole army as soon as possible. ”

The previous recruits were still training in the traditional way, and the final trained soldiers were still the kind of old-fashioned army that fought against each other, and the time to form was very slow, and now a few months have passed and can only initially form combat effectiveness, this long cycle is really unacceptable to Duke.

One of the characteristics of the new-style army is that it can be formed faster, and even ordinary people can quickly master the use of magic rifles in wartime, and they can barely survive for a while.

As Lenya, who had experienced the power of new weapons firsthand and was exploring new ways to train, she herself agreed, so she just nodded in agreement with the lord.

It's just that this point of view is still relatively superficial and does not exceed her expectations, so she asked again: "What else?"

"And ......"

Duke hesitated for a moment, but finally said the queue Dafa that he had been thinking about for a long time.

In fact, he still had great doubts about the role of this training method, but in his time almost every country had a similar training method.

And he himself has experienced it many times during military training, and the final effect is some.

At least in terms of overall organization and discipline, there is a world of difference before and after training.

Platoon training cannot fundamentally strengthen the combat effectiveness of a team and is not a so-called source of strength.

But it is very quick to shape new recruits, and it can quickly form a force with initial organization and discipline, and it can achieve initial results in a week.

Lenia frowned and listened to Duke's description, this was the first time she had heard of such a training method, she used to train soldiers more about their actual combat ability.

Discipline is more about being able to understand orders and enforce them in a timely manner, which is already better than most armies.

After all, in order to save the cost of supporting the army, more lords do not maintain a standing army in peacetime, and only recruit knights and minor lords from the territory to participate in the war with their respective subordinates or troops.

The discipline and organization of such troops were almost non-existent, and they basically relied on numbers and momentum to win, and if there was a slight disadvantage, they would collapse very quickly.

"But according to your training method, our military expenses need to rise a lot, after all, the food needed for daily training is not a small amount, and you also need meat. ”

Lenia thought for a moment and asked a more realistic question.

The current army can maintain a big drill every ten days to be considered qualified, once every five days is considered elite, most of them do not need training at all, usually just work at home and farming, but wait until I don't know when the war will start and then put down the hoe and be recruited by the lord.

The training that Duke said needs to be carried out every day, although the intensity will be smaller, but the combined requirements are not relaxed, so the corresponding logistics supply will be much higher.

Military spending to be raised?

Duke has been very sensitive to money lately, and immediately became alarmed when he heard that he needed to increase his military output.

If you also count the research funds allocated to Old Neil and Anvil before, his expenses for building the army in the north are not small, and every time I think about it, I feel a little painful.

"Well, I'm just talking about military training expenses, and I think it needs to be doubled. ”

Seeing the lord's alert expression, Lenia knew that Duke was hesitating, so she had to add a few more words to put him at ease.

Duke silently calculated in his heart, the army's usual food was mainly supplied by local farmers in the north, and the price was very affordable, even if it was doubled, it didn't seem to cost much.

It's just that the meat needs to be shipped from somewhere else, and the cost will be a little bigger, but if Joseph can negotiate a cement business, he can still handle it.

After weighing it again and again, he finally nodded and agreed, and then said with some unease: "I'll prepare a month's money for you for the time being, you practice first to see if there is any effect, if not, give up first and then think of other ideas." ”

Lenia nodded and agreed with the lord's idea of giving it a try, she didn't have any confidence in this training method for the first time, she could only use it for a month to see how it worked before making other plans.

"And what about the gear you promised earlier?"

With new training methods, you also need to have enough new weapons, otherwise no matter how much you practice, it will be no different from white training.

Thinking that it would cost a lot of money to equip the whole army, Duke's heart was dripping blood.

But in order to guard against the beast tide that may come in the future and to defend the fruits of his hard development during this period of time, he knew that he still had to pay this money.

"I will ask the anvil to determine the most stable model for mass production as soon as possible, and try to send it to you as soon as possible. ”

In this kind of matter related to his fortune and life, Duke can still carry it clearly, but after hesitating for a while, he made up his mind to finalize this matter as soon as possible.

"I think you can talk to the dwarves about how to use them, after all, they designed the weapons, and many of them have long experience with similar weapons. After turning his attention to the figures of the soldiers training on the school field again, Duke said suddenly.

Dwarves do have a lot to learn from in this area, and they can also facilitate communication between their own men.

Although these dwarves who are not accustomed to dealing with humans now live in human cities, they have a sense of being hidden in the city, and they do not communicate as closely as they imagined.

Lenia's eyes lit up, she hadn't thought about this, but after Duke's reminder, she immediately felt very reasonable, and quickly accepted the matter.

"Well, that's ......"

Duke was about to give a few more instructions on how to deal with the dwarves, but before he could begin to speak, he was interrupted by a guard who arrived from behind.

"Lord, there is someone outside the school gate asking to see you. ”

"Who's going to see me?"

Duke frowned and asked with some confusion.

He didn't know many people, if it was Vlavich or other ministers, these soldiers knew them, and they wouldn't keep them out and not report them with such fanfare.

"The man said his name was Tiger and that he knew you. ”
