The reason why an ordinary prostitute will never appear beautiful is that human nature can never project value onto her. She can only satisfy the coarse. She is the partner of the worst men.

– Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

"General Luke, you have been the commander of our Fifth Eastern Legion for some time, what do you think is the main difference between our five Eastern Legions and other standing legions?"

Little Luke's uneasiness, Bai Feng is understandable, in order to relax little Luke, who is highly nervous, Bai Feng, who no longer remains serious, with a faint smile on his face, re-raises a new topic and asks little Luke.

"This ......" Little Luke, who was overly nervous, didn't expect Bai Feng to ask him such a question, and after a short pause, his arm trembled slightly, and he forced himself to calm down by clenching his fists and thinking about the answer to this question.

"General, I think that the gap between the Eastern Army and the Standing Army is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the gap in the quality of soldiers between the two sides; second, the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides; and third, the gap in combat experience between the two sides. ”

"Really?" The undeniable Bai Feng neither affirmed nor denied Little Luke's answer, but used an encouraging tone to help Little Luke relax and said, "Then you can tell me in detail how the gap between these three aspects is concretely reflected." ”

"This ......" Little Luke, who was more and more puzzled, always felt that General Bai Feng, who was high in the sky, would not say these things to himself so aimlessly; although he didn't know why General Bai Feng wanted him to say this, he still analyzed it one by one:

"First of all, there is a gap in the quality of the soldiers of the two sides, the officers and men of the Standing Legion are all carefully selected and recruited from the entire empire by the Imperial Military Department and have undergone a certain amount of training, while the officers and men of our Eastern Legion are almost all composed of ordinary young men with no experience. ”

"The second is the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides, the officers and men of the Standing Army are equipped with extremely sophisticated weapons and equipment, and the damaged weapons and equipment will be replenished in a timely manner, while the officers and men of our Eastern Army use some extremely ordinary weapons and equipment. ”

"Finally, there is the gap in combat experience between the two sides, the number of veterans of each standing legion is more than 5,000, and they are the core of the combat effectiveness of the standing legion; ”

Bai Feng, who knew a little about little Luke, didn't expect that little Luke, who had almost no military experience, would have such an opinion; if these words came out of the mouths of other army commanders, Bai Feng only felt that it should be taken for granted, but little Luke surprised Bai Feng.

However, no matter how much little Luke behaved beyond Bai Feng's expectations, Bai Feng would not praise him in words, because he only said something that a legion commander should say, and there was really no need to praise him for this.

Moreover, what little Luke said, on the surface, it seems that it is indeed a manifestation of the gap between the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Legion and the Standing Legion, but in fact, he still ignores some other more important aspects, and what he ignores is precisely what Bai Feng values the most.

"Little General Luke, as you just said, the gap between the Eastern Legion and the Standing Legion is indeed not small, but I can tell you: among the factors that really cause the huge difference in combat strength between the Eastern Legion and the Standing Legion, the most important factors are definitely not these three!"

"In terms of the quality of soldiers, the Eastern Legion is only one line worse than the Standing Legion, but the main components of the Yulin Legion, which is stronger in combat than the Standing Legion, are recruits, robbers, rogues, and city defense troops, which are not much stronger than your Eastern Legion. ”

"General, I don't agree with you about this. The extremely relaxed atmosphere of the conversation gradually relaxed the little Luke, who was originally so nervous that he didn't dare to speak, that he now dared to refute Bai Feng's views in person and directly explain his own opinions.

"In my opinion, you are the only legendary general like you in the entire continent, and if you were replaced by other ordinary generals to command the former Seventh Wing, maybe there would be no Megatron Feather Forest Legion today. ”

Compared with the cowering little Luke before, the little Luke in front of him who dared to express his own opinions was undoubtedly easier to get Bai Feng's approval;

"If you think that the strength of the Seventh Wing is based on my command, then go to General Lister's death camp, and see how a rabble of death row prisoners, robbers, and hooligans can crush an army of thousands of orcs head-on!"

Bai Feng's ambiguous words did not elaborate on the size of the orc army, nor did he point out that the orc army was in a state of hard retreat and exhaustion at that time, and little Luke, who was thunderous about the name of the death camp, agreed with Bai Feng's statement.

"In terms of weapons and equipment, the quality of the weapons and equipment provided by the Imperial Military Department to the Standing Legion is not as good as the weapons and equipment currently used by your Eastern Legion; ”

"Then General D'Ambrosio and his legions, how can the weapons and equipment used be so sophisticated?"

"Some of the weapons and equipment used by the six standing legions under my command were purchased for them by the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, and some were provided by the Duke of Gna, and if you can show them, I will also give you the best weapons and equipment. ”

Bai Feng's explanation of the weapons and equipment of the Standing Legion was speechless, and little Luke was speechless, yes, the former Standing Legion was able to fight the orcs to the end with worse weapons and equipment, why couldn't the Eastern Legion at this time?

"In terms of combat experience, the combat experience of the Standing Legion is not obtained out of thin air, it is all obtained by sacrificing countless soldiers; how can the Eastern Legion, which has not experienced bloody battles and sacrificed countless soldiers, have rich combat experience?"

"In this world, there has never been a truly powerful army, which has been trained through daily training; only the battlefield of blood and fire, the fight between swords and knives, and the pouring of blood and honor can achieve a strong army that is invincible and invincible!"

"Therefore, the key factor in the disparity between the Eastern Legion and the Standing Legion is the lack of a positive and motivated sense of honor among the officers and men of the Eastern Legion, as long as you can establish this belief in them, I believe that sooner or later they will become a de facto Standing Legion!"

Speaking of this, Bai Feng's demeanor was no longer the indifference when he had just left little Luke alone, but a passionate and heroic high-spirited attitude, and little Luke, who was infected by it and lacked confidence in himself and the soldiers under his command, also turned red with excitement.

In addition to being excited, little Luke naturally understood Bai Feng's intention to leave him alone, and in the face of Bai Feng's expectant eyes, little Luke, who was excited, solemnly promised: "General, after three months, our Fifth Eastern Army will definitely not let you down!"

In this regard, Bai Feng, who had achieved his goal, nodded with satisfaction, and after that, Bai Feng took out some of his experience in commanding the army and used it to teach little Luke, in recognition of little Luke's excellent performance tonight.
