Chapter 122: They are all growing (asking for the first order, asking for a monthly pass, and the fifth watch)
"Quiet, quiet, the time is up, the personnel have arrived, the first enlarged meeting of officers above the deputy guard chief of the Eternal Night Legion has been officially convened, it should be two hundred and ninety-two, but it has actually reached two hundred and ninety-one, the head of the Eagle Eye Special Service Corelf, due to special tasks, is absent from this meeting, and now I announce that the first enlarged meeting of officers of the Eternal Night Legion has been officially convened. ◢ With *Dream ◢ Small *.lā"
In the past year, the size of the Eternal Night Legion itself has only increased by one regiment, from the original three to four, and the full battle is less than 10,000 people, and the officers above the deputy guard commander are only 100 at best, plus their own special skull crushing legion effect, supporting the death of 150 people.
However, the Legion of the Eternal Night has a subsidiary engineer regiment that is more than twice as large as itself.
The top of this corps is part-time by the Eternal Night Legion, the highest is set up to the regiment commander, there are five reinforced regiments, and the officer configuration is basically the same as that of the Eternal Night Legion, but they are all strengthened in nature, after all, compared to the battle, they are more inclined to the infrastructure in the territory, and the management requirements for officers are not so high.
"Now for the first item of the conference, our Deputy Commander Marshall will summarize for us the past year, the fruits of our labor in the past year, let us applaud, Deputy Commander Marshall. ”
Marshall, amid a round of applause, walked briskly to the podium.
Because of the size of the conference, the large number of participants, the lack of PA equipment, and the lack of superb echo architecture like the Solo Colosseum, the circular shape of the venue and the speaker standing in the center ensured that everyone could hear the speaker.
Marshall, who is the same age as Sean, has changed a lot in the past year or so, not only has his head jumped by more than half a head, but even his waist has thickened a whole circle, still like a big square brick, with a dark face and rough skin.
Obviously not less exposed to the wind and sun, which made him appear two or three years older than his actual age, although Sean is the general of the Eternal Night Legion, but many practical affairs are handled by Marshall, especially when Sean was the shopkeeper, he was the highest commander of the Eternal Night Legion.
Thanks to the special composition of the Eternal Night Legion, most of the members' loyalty to Sean is full value, otherwise it is not too simple for Sean to be set aside for his virtue.
Complicated affairs are the best whetstone, but also a good medicine to promote maturity, in addition to the immaturity of the face, whether it is the expression or the style, are full of sophistication.
However, the voice of the male duck in the period of voice change is still full of comedy, but no one laughs, not only is they used to it, but also because many of them are so virtuous, and the Legion of the Eternal Night itself is a young and terrible group.
According to the available statistics, the average age of the soldiers of the main force of the Eternal Night Legion is seventeen years old, and the average age of the officers of the main force is eighteen years old, which is actually about half a year lower, because many of the soldiers in it are not sure of their age, and they fish in troubled waters according to their physique.
The average age of the Skull Crushers is slightly older, twenty-one for both soldiers and officers.
The average age of the engineers is 27 and the average age of the officers of the engineer corps is 20.
Not to mention the average age of soldiers, in this world that does not care about the use of child labor, the average age of soldiers is not particularly high, especially those legions full of cannon fodder, but the average age of officers is absolutely incredible.
In a slightly regular regiment, the average age of officers is generally around twenty-seven or eighteen, which is the best time for human beings, and their physical strength has not declined, and their life experience is also rich, and they are not easy to make bloody mistakes on the field.
Being young also has the advantage of being young, that is, being cohesive and full of momentum.
"Before I wrap up, I'm going to say a few gossips. Marshall looked around, "Recently, the military spirit has been more impetuous, and many soldiers think that we have abandoned military affairs, and that soldiers can only show their value on the battlefield, and they want to go to war, either to fight the walled city alliance in the mountains, or to recapture the Bastille." ”
"Some officers not only do not do ideological education and reverse this erroneous ideological trend, but on the contrary, they are adding fuel to the fire, and I will save face for you here today, and I will not name you one by one, nor will I criticize you, I will use real statistics to tell you, we really have nothing to do during this time? You only need to listen, you don't need to take notes, after the meeting, there will be a condensed version of the statistical table for you, take it back, and tell those soldiers to listen. ”
"In the past year and five months, the Eternal Night Legion has collected and resettled more than 89,000 mountain people, built a total of 123 walled cities, more than 21,000 houses, more than 130 irrigation water wheels, more than 210 wind mills, three large processing factories, paved more than 200 kilometers of roads, and initially completed the internal unification of measurement units. ”
"The Eternal Night Legion now owns 50,000 hectares of tuntian, 80,000 hectares of fertile land reclaimed by the mountain people themselves, more than 8,000 cultivated cattle domesticated by four-horned high-backed mountain cattle, 2 out of 10,000 war horses, and poultry such as goats, wild boars, chickens, ducks and geese, the total number exceeds one million. ”
Every time Marshall said a number, it would attract a thunderous applause, and those young officers of the Eternal Night Legion, all red-faced, had both self-reproach and unconcealed pride.
Needless to say, there is a part of their creation in these achievements.
The blame was due to the fact that in Marshall's initial criticism, they all made such mistakes, especially the officers of the main army.
Compared with the Affiliated Engineer Corps, they are carefully selected after all, although the Eternal Night Legion has always emphasized equality, they are the people's soldiers, and they serve the people, but it is inevitable that some young people have a very high self-esteem, especially when facing the Affiliated Engineer Corps.
But they are now doing the same work as the attached engineer regiment, the only difference is that the salary is 30 percent higher, and the training intensity and discipline are far higher than that of the attached engineer regiment.
In the long run, it is inevitable that there will be resentment in their hearts, and it is normal for some criticism to appear, but they will also be addicted, and the amount of construction and training that should be completed will not be discounted at all.
But when faced with these shocking figures, they are sincerely ashamed, if they usually complain less and lead their brothers to work harder, this number may be more gorgeous.
Even so, from scratch, in just one and a half years, nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians have created so much wealth, which is definitely something to be proud of.
And many of the officers present knew that what Marshall said was only on the surface, and he was not afraid of the numbers that others would know.
As for the medical research institute in the deep mountains, the iron-making and steel-frying factory, the sewing machine manufacturing factory, and the Tang's nail nail processing factory......
These units related to the military industry and new technology are all highly secretive, and even these officers are hearsay, and it is impossible for them to tell these secrets on such occasions.
However, they all knew that that was the foundation for the future development of the Eternal Night Legion, not to mention anything else, just the Tang Clan's nail armor processing factory, which had less than a thousand people, would add one-third of the financial income of the Eternal Night Legion to the wealth they had scavenged back from the Manyu Army.
This still limits the supply, and in the case of the Eternal Night Legion for its own use, if the volume is released, I don't know what kind of shock it will cause in the Manyu Army!
"As for the treatment of the legion, I don't need to say more, what kind of equipment did you use a year and a half ago, what kind of food did you eat?
Marshall's last interrogative sentence drew laughter from the audience, a joke known to the Legion of the Eternal Night from top to bottom, and this happened in more extreme circumstances.
A pigsty of Bairenwei was buried by a landslide, killing dozens of pigs, just in time for the rainy weather, the pork could not be transported to the brother unit, so I had to cheapen the Bairenwei, and ate pork for a week, and finally some pork that had not had time to be processed stinked.
In order not to waste it, the captain still stewed a big pot for the soldiers to eat, vomiting and venting the food of several sturdy soldiers, crying that he would never eat pork again, and wanted to eat vegetarian.
The joke spread as well, though the captain had been disciplined, but more often than not, the current living conditions of the Legion of the Eternal Night.
"Although this is an example that only appears in extreme circumstances, it also fully illustrates the improvement of the quality of life of our legion, but don't be complacent, just if we are full, we will not be able to do it, we also have to let the mountain people who follow and trust us also be well fed and warm, when that time, they will sincerely support us, if our lives reach that level, do you still think that the so-called Walled City Alliance is a threat to us?"
"No!" the officers agreed.
A year ago, they might have hesitated because they weren't sure they could do it, but now, they have no doubt.
As long as they are given two more years and take those Andes people to a well-off life, they may not be able to do it, but getting rid of the threat of hunger and having surplus food for their families is a piece of cake.
If God is beautiful, the wind and rain will be smooth in the past two years, and it will be no problem to fill the granary.
As far as their current living conditions are concerned, the mountain people of the Walled City Alliance who are still hungry are drooling, and many mountain people secretly come to join the village, and the harsh punishment policy of the Walled City Alliance cannot stop it.
There was no way, the generals of those Walled City Alliances could only learn from the Eternal Night Legion, and they also engaged in various constructions and cultivated fields.
But the problem is that what the Legion of the Eternal Night can do doesn't mean that others can do it.
On the one hand, the Walled City Alliance does not have as many outstanding low-level officers as the Eternal Night Legion, so don't underestimate their role, they allocate manpower from them, encourage the enthusiasm of soldiers and mountain people, supervise them, and punish them reasonably, all of which are indispensable.
Without them, no matter how many people are assembled, it will be a plate of scattered sand, which will not only not exert the collective strength, but will reduce production efficiency.
Two, there are too many entanglements of interests within the Walled City Alliance, dozens of generals and leaders, representing dozens of interest groups, each of whom wants to take some benefits from their own groups, but as a result, their own people are fighting for the first time, so they are almost resorted to force, these things alone distract most of the energy of the generals and leaders, how can they care about the production below?
The final result is that the tiger is not an anti-dog, the large-scale production is not embarrassing or embarrassing, and there are many internal contradictions, if it were not for the existence of the powerful foreign enemy of the Eternal Night Legion, the so-called Walled City Alliance would have been torn apart long ago.
"Brilliant achievements do not necessarily have to be created with swords, but the best way to fight is to surrender without a fight, and I am done with my speech, thank you for listening. ”
Marshall finally threw out his main argument, and the previous figures were all paving the way for this, and also briefly extended the theme of this meeting, as one of the highest echelons of the Eternal Night Legion, his speech was by no means just his own meaning.
Before this, the top level must have reached a consensus, otherwise a dispute broke out in the course of the meeting, which would be extremely detrimental to the harmony and stability of the entire legion.
Perhaps the numbers in front were too shocking, and the officers below gave the warmest applause.
The supporter of the meeting just now stepped forward again and said, "The second item of the meeting is to have Inspector General Chad, the head of the Military Discipline Supervision Institute of the Eternal Night Legion, summarize for us the shortcomings of the past year. ”
As a fast-growing group, not only the group itself is growing, but the people in the group are also growing, and Chad is one of the typical ones.
He got to where he is now not just because of his relationship with Sean, but like Marshall, with his own strength.
With the improvement of the various systems of the Eternal Night Legion, Sean's influence is weakening step by step.
Sean is not only not unhappy about this phenomenon, but is happy to hear about it, because it means that the group is maturing step by step, and when the Legion of the Eternal Night comes out of his shadow, it will be considered truly mature.
Chad was able to sit in his current position, and to be honest, Sean was a little surprised.
In Sean's impression, Chad has never been the kind of outstanding, his personal strength and learning ability are mediocre in the same period, neither top-notch nor backward, and many things are not competing.
The only thing that impressed him was probably that he was a survivor of the bloody battles in the village and the mountain roads.
Just such a person who adheres to the golden mean, he has defeated countless top-notch competitors and sat in the position of military discipline inspector, and he has been sitting for a year and a half, which is extremely solid, and no one can shake it until now.
When the name Inspector General Chad was mentioned, the officers below couldn't help but straighten their clothes, sit up straight, and even the smile on their faces was standardized.
Obviously, in the past year and a half, Chad has erected his prestige, and even has the nickname of "Smiling Tiger", because he still adheres to the original golden mean in front of people, is amiable, and always laughs, but when it comes to rectifying the military discipline of the army, he is ruthless and ruthless, and no one's face is sold, including Sean's.
He is best known for his outbursts of Sean and Marshall, who come to their door to intercede, blast out of the office, pointing at their noses and scolding.
