You can use your mind, but, to be more efficient, you have to clear your mind. You have to have a mind as sharp as a razor. Only then can it become a tool for your transformation.

As soon as Gamilios walked into the study, Bai Feng handed him a compilation sheet and said: "Gamilios, you are the commander of the Tuntian Command, and you should be specifically responsible for the new construction, reorganization, and reorganization of the Tuntian Legion; tell me, how long will it take you to complete this?"

"Governor, whether it is the creation of a new Tuntian Legion, or the reorganization of the Tuntian Legion, or the reorganization of the Tuntian Legion, it is not a trivial matter, I need to understand your expectations before I can give you an answer. Gamilios, who was meticulous in his work, did not immediately give his own answer.

"It's nature. Bai Feng nodded as he should, "You look first, we have a night to discuss this matter." ”

After that, Bai Feng turned his head and asked Ward, who was standing aside, "Ward, you are the commander of the garrison headquarters, I want to know, how long will it take to expand the number of town guards under your command from eighteen to forty-five?"

"Twenty-seven new Town Guards?" Ward, who acted decisively, replied after a moment's thought, "Governor, without taking into account the decline in the combat effectiveness of the Town Guards, the expansion of the number can be completed in a month. ”

"It is definitely not possible to take into account combat effectiveness. Bai Feng shook his head and vetoed: "Our town guard is a garrison force with the mission of maintaining law and order in the town; if we can't guarantee combat effectiveness, once it causes chaos in the town, it will only outweigh the losses." ”

"Governor, if we suddenly expand the town guards, which have a total strength of no more than 18,000 troops, to 45,000 soldiers, it is inevitable that the combat effectiveness will decline; as long as we raise the combat effectiveness of the town guards in a timely manner after the expansion, there should be no impact on the public order of the towns. ”

"Ward, the twenty-seven Town Guards that are about to be formed, they have a lot more responsibility on their shoulders than you think. In the face of Ward's explanation, Bai Feng pointed out the key: "The people of those newly built towns are more unruly than the people under our rule. ”

"The twelve new towns in the territory of the former Eastern Union are fine, each town does not have many young people, and it does not matter if the combat effectiveness of the town guard is almost there, but the fifteen new towns in the northern part of the former Luxi tribe are not good, and these towns are extremely large in number of young and strong. ”

"This is the consequence that we must bear as fishermen, the Luxi tribe, whose war potential has no chance to be unleashed, and a large number of young and strong people scattered all over the place, and it is impossible to keep these unruly fellows in peace without strong force to suppress them. ”

Ward, who didn't know much about the situation on the north bank of the Cangluo River, immediately adjusted his plan after listening to Bai Feng's narration: "Governor, then we can divide the expanded town guards into three grades, and according to the situation in different regions, make specific arrangements for the town guards in each town. ”

Bai Feng, who was moving in his heart, said expectantly: "Let's talk about it specifically." ”

"Divide our most elite 18,000 veterans into three parts, supplemented by new recruits, to rebuild the town guards, and among them, the proportion of veterans in the 15 towns in northwestern Ryu will be maintained at more than 70 percent, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the town guards. ”

"Relatively speaking, it is easier to manage the town guards of the twelve towns of the Eastern Alliance, and the proportion of veterans can be kept at 30 percent, and the most stable town guards of the original eighteen towns only need to leave 10 percent of the veterans as squad leaders. ”

"That's ......" Bai Feng, who was actually already moving, asked again: "According to this way, how long will it take to complete the expansion of the army?"

"Governor, there is no substantial difference between this hierarchical expansion and the previous rapid overall expansion, except that the proportion of veterans in each town guard has been slightly adjusted, so the time required is still a month. ”

"Yes, then follow your method of grading and expanding the town guard. Bai Feng made a direct decision: "The soldiers and weapons and equipment needed for the expansion will be provided to you by Vipsani, and in a month, I hope to see forty-five town guards!"

"No!" Ward decisively ordered.

"Governor. Here, Bai Feng and Ward had just decided on the expansion of the town guard, and Gamilios, who already had a draft over there, spoke again: "Absorbing 70,000 Lucy prisoners of war is not a difficult thing for the Tuntian army with 110,000 troops. ”

"The crux of the matter is that the replenishment of the large number of Lucy prisoners of war would reduce the strength of a single army to 4,000 soldiers, and the loyalty to our city of Rome would drop dramatically, which would be too risky for us in Rome and could cause unnecessary chaos. ”

Bai Feng's worries about the expansion of the garrison just now have now become Gamilios's worries about the expansion of the Tuntian troops, and what makes Bai Feng feel helpless is that Gamilios's worries are exactly what he worried about when he formulated the expansion plan of the Tuntian Legion.

"Gamilios, I naturally understand what you said. Bai Feng, who didn't intend to waste time, hit the nail on the head and said: "But we must establish the new Tuntian Legion as soon as possible, otherwise, the development of our Roman City will be affected by the Tuntian Legion." ”

"This ......" Bai Feng's unusually resolute attitude made Gamilios, who wanted to ask for an extension of the formation time of the Tuntian Legion, couldn't help but be a little speechless, and after a short hesitation, Gamilios gave his new plan and said: "Governor, I need at least 10,000 elite veterans. ”

"Seven legions, including the Tiger, the Eagle, the Lion, the Dragon, the Cheetah, the Flying Leopard, and the Spartan, have nearly 100,000 elite veterans; 10,000 elite veterans will be transferred from them to supplement our Tuntian Legion, and I am confident that the expansion of the Tuntian Legion will be completed within three months!"

"Ten thousand elite veterans, that's too many!" Bai Feng thought for a while, then shook his head and refused: "These seven legions have just finished the battle, and each legion has a certain number of casualties; if too many elite veterans are transferred from their legions, it will inevitably lead to a decline in their combat effectiveness." ”

"I can send you a maximum of five hundred elite veterans from each legion, any more is impossible, and you must promise to complete the expansion of the Tuntian Legion within two months, and ensure that there will be no disturbance of any kind in the Tuntian Legion stationed in the newly built town. ”

"Three thousand five hundred elite veterans, two months?!" The gaffe Gamilios looked at Bai Feng's burning eyes, and had to put forward another condition: "Governor, I need to expand my commander's guard to five thousand soldiers, this is my last condition!"

"Of course you can!" Bai Feng, who agreed without hesitation, turned his head to Ward and ordered: "Ward, after the new town guard is established, your commander's guard will also be expanded to five thousand soldiers, so that you also have enough troops to deal with some emergencies." ”

"No!" Ward, who felt like he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky, hurried to respond.
