As soon as the rewards for each legion were over, Bai Feng put the paper full of the achievements of each legion at the bottom of the stack of papers in front of him, and the paper with the newly compiled level four was placed at the top.

As the smile on Bai Feng's face gradually faded, the thoughtful generals also knew that they were going to talk about business next, so they all restrained the smiles on their faces and focused their eyes on Bai Feng's face.

"Generals, although our army in Rome has repeatedly defeated strong enemies in several previous battles, this does not mean that our army in Rome is already strong, in fact, our army is still a long way from being truly strong!

Therefore, the next time for the development of the city of Rome is a precious time for your legions to strive to improve their combat effectiveness, and in addition to the fact that you yourself should train your soldiers well, I have decided to make new adjustments to the establishment of each of your legions.

Before announcing the new structure after the adjustment, I would like to announce an appointment: from now on, the young and promising General Upton will become a legion commander in our city of Rome, and his army will be reorganized into the Lion Legion, the same size as the Tiger Legion, etc.!"

"Swear allegiance to the Governor! Swear allegiance to the city of Rome!" Bai Feng's appointment to Upton had just been announced, and Upton, who could not restrain his excitement, stood up on the spot to show his loyalty to Bai Feng, he himself did not expect Bai Feng to use him so much.

Based on the prejudice of the generals of Rome against Upton, if Bai Feng had not accepted Upton's surrender to the public, it is estimated that the generals of Rome City would not even look at Upton with a straight eye, especially the Esthenic faction led by Eggers, who hated him even more.

Upton himself is also very aware of his own situation, and he has to use his loyalty to Bai Feng as much as possible to gain Bai Feng's approval, even so, Upton, who has no bottom in his heart, is not sure that he will be reused by Bai Feng.

After all, Eggers and the faction behind him, but the city of Rome was a decisive force, and Upton felt that he was still too far behind Eggers, so he was still very worried and uneasy about his future prospects.

No one thought that Bai Feng would use Upton so much, not only forming a new Lion Legion based on the army under his command, but also comparing the establishment of this new legion to the old legions such as the Tiger Legion, which is simply an exceptional treatment for Upton!

No matter how much the generals present did not understand Bai Feng's order, and no matter how much they disliked Upton in their hearts, as long as Bai Feng's appointment had been issued, they had no other choice but to obey Bai Feng's order.

The generals with different faces reacted to Bai Feng's eyes, he didn't say anything, just smiled secretly in his heart, and then motioned to the excited Upton to sit back in his place with a look of encouragement;

"When General Upton's lion legion is formed, our city of Rome will have four regular legions, including the lion, the eagle, the tiger, and the dragon, as well as the two Macedonian phalanx legions of Tasya and Cheetah, and the cavalry legion of the Roman spear.

Seven legions are strong enough to defend our Roman sphere of influence, but the rudimentary size of each of our legions greatly limits the combat effectiveness of each of our legions, and this time, all of our legions will adopt a new four-tier formation!"

Hearing Bai Feng's new term, the legion commanders present all thought that Bai Feng was going to set up another command structure above the legion; they looked at each other in confusion, but none of them spoke.

Bai Feng, who noticed the change in the generals' faces, didn't expect that their understanding would deviate so much, but it didn't matter, because after Bai Feng paused slightly, he picked up the paper on the table and began to announce the new establishment of each legion.

"The original three-level establishment of each of our legions, such as the hundred-man team, the brigade, and the corps, is not very flexible in the actual combat process, and it is very easy to cause the upper and lower combat units within the corps to get out of control in the melee, so I plan to add a wing between the brigade and the corps.

In other words, our new corps will be composed of four levels: hundred-man corps, brigade, wing, and legion, and in addition, this wing will also be an independent branch of the army, such as the infantry wing, the longbow wing, the cavalry wing, the elite infantry wing, the spear wing, and so on.

My preliminary assumption was that the four regular legions of Rome, each with two wings of elite infantry and two wings of longbows, and three wings of infantry and one general guard of five hundred cavalry, would be reduced from seventeen thousand to fourteen thousand five hundred.

Two Macedonian phalanx corps, each with four phalanx wings and two longbow wings, two cavalry wings, one infantry wing and one elite infantry wing, and a general's guard of 260 cavalrymen, the total strength increased to 10,500.

As the only cavalry corps in Rome, the existing 6,000 cavalry under General Nelson's command will be directly reorganized into three cavalry wings, and will be gradually added to five wings, and its total strength will increase to 10,000.

I know that you do not quite understand what I have just said, because the wing size of the regular corps is not the same as that of the Macedonian phalanx, and the standard wing should be composed of 2,000 men of a single branch, while the wing of the Macedonian phalanx corps is only about 1,000 men. ”

Seeing that the faces of the generals were still at a loss, Bai Feng had no choice but to raise the paper in his hand helplessly and said: "This paper has the specific establishment of each of your legions, you will take turns to look at it, and wait until you have read it all." ”

With that, Bai Feng handed the list of formations in his hand to Licinius on his right, Licinius's First Legion was not on the list of discussions tonight, so he did not hesitate to pass this piece of paper to his own Gamilios, who carefully browsed it.

After about half an hour had passed, all the generals in the council hall had read the list in detail, and only after they had understood the composition of their respective legions did Bai Feng begin to ask them if they had any other opinions on this formation.

Since Bai Feng had already thought about this new establishment in such a specific way, what other objections could the generals present have? This fourth-level legion establishment formulated by Bai Feng himself would soon be implemented in all legions in Rome City.

Bai Feng firmly believes that the new legions of Rome will inevitably make great progress in terms of combat effectiveness, because this new organization not only strengthens the command flexibility within the legions, but also reorganizes all the original single-arm legions into new multi-arm composite legions!
