"Chapter 51: General Affairs Officer"
The voice of conscience is silent, but it travels distances that the human voice can never reach.

Seeing that the 65th, 67th, and 86th legions represented by Overseer Eric had already distributed 60,000 of the 200,000 sets of weapons and equipment, and many other corps commanders who had not yet completed the refitting of the whole army immediately became anxious.
Because there are a total of 370,000 soldiers in 21 legions under Bai Feng's command, the total number of soldiers in each legion equipped with new weapons and equipment is only about 60,000, which means that there are still 110,000 soldiers who cannot distinguish between the two types of weapons and equipment, and it is difficult to fully replace them.
Among the 110,000 soldiers who could not be divided into two kinds of weapons and equipment, the pike regiment, which used super-long spears as its main weapon, and the cavalry regiment, which did not need infantry weapons and equipment, did not participate in the distribution, and the number of soldiers who could not be distributed dropped to 70,000.
No one wants their own regiment to use inferior weapons and equipment of unreliable quality when other regiments are completely replacing them with sophisticated weapons and equipment; but the limited number of weapons and equipment makes every corps commander suffer from gains and losses.
Among the twenty-one corps commanders present, only eight can really do without worry: Eric, Krefel, and Barao, three corps commanders who have been assigned weapons and equipment, Donald's legion who does not participate in the distribution, and four system generals who do not care about weapons and equipment.
Facing the eager eyes of the generals, Bai Feng, who had already made a plan for the distribution of weapons and equipment, said in a flat tone: "First gather all the new weapons and equipment of each legion, and then hand it over to the 39th, 40th, and 44th legions stationed in the province of Lyon for reequipment. ”
"No!" the commanders who answered in unison were as many as seven people!
The legions that can be equipped with new weapons and equipment are all Bai Feng's own descendants, and for these legions whose loyalty is unquestionable, Bai Feng does not need to waste time in beating around the bush at all, and directly issuing orders will be carried out most thoroughly.
"The five Eastern Army Corps, which are stationed in the provinces of Lyon and Toulon, will be equipped with weapons and equipment before leaving for their garrisons; the replaced weapons and equipment will be given priority to the use of the security forces in the cities and towns of the three provinces, and the surplus will be stored as combat readiness. ”
"No!" The five generals of the Eastern Legion, including Slim and Luke Jr., were full of excitement and excitement in their voices.
According to common sense, on the premise that 70,000 officers and men are not able to receive sophisticated weapons and equipment, the Eastern Legion, which is inferior to the standing army in the army, should inevitably be among them.
But what everyone didn't expect was that as soon as Bai Feng opened his mouth, he divided 50,000 sets of such sophisticated weapons and equipment to the Eastern Legion, so that while Slim and the other five generals were ecstatic, Basaromu and other generals who had not followed Bai Feng for a long time became worried.
"Among the regiments stationed in the province of Montan, the 74th, 77th, and 82nd regiments, as well as the Tempest Regiment, priority shall be given to the replacement of weapons and equipment for the whole army; ”
"No!" Compared with the surprise of the three generals such as Barcelóm, Montgomery's eyes were more puzzled and puzzled.
"The 45th, 46th, and 47th Army Corps and the Predator Regiment will continue to use their original weapons and equipment for the time being, and will be replaced in the future when they are fully equipped with weapons, and the remaining weapons and equipment will be used to form a garrison force dedicated to guarding the granaries and battle depots of the army. ”
"Obey the orders of the general (governor)!" The uniform voice of the twenty-one army commanders in response to the order, if there was no discordant title of the governor, it might be more satisfying to Bai Feng.
Seeing that all the generals had no opinion on this distribution method, Bai Feng ordered again: "The weapons and equipment needed for the refitting of each legion will be distributed to each army later, and I will give you five days; after five days, all legions must all go to their own legion station!"
"No!" the satisfied generals responded with a bang.
Before officially ending this military meeting, Bai Feng did not fail to notice the gloom between the eyebrows of the Donald Legion Commander, nor did he fail to see the confusion in the eyes of the Legion Commander Montgomery, but he still did not leave anyone alone, allowing the generals to leave separately.
Bai Feng, who knew why his teacher Donald was worried, did not plan to have a showdown with his teacher now, Bai Feng believed that with the passage of time and the development of the situation in the future, sooner or later his teacher would figure it out, and the showdown at this time would only affect the intimate relationship between the two.
As for Montgomery, who repeatedly recruited without success, Bai Feng's mentality had long since lost his eagerness, and the facts in front of him made Bai Feng believe that Montgomery himself was willing to stay under his command.
Otherwise, as long as Montgomery really wants to continue to return to Prince William, then he only needs to submit a transfer application to the Imperial Military Department when Charlemagne orders the formation of the four major governors, and he can leave Bai Feng effortlessly.
Of course, even if Montgomery did submit such a transfer request, he could only take Mountbatten and Caswall with him, and none of the 20,000 soldiers of the Tempest Legion would want to leave with him, and Duke Cullen would not question this.
With the exception of Donald, who was skeptical, Montgomery, who was gradually returning to his heart, and Eric, who had unclear intentions, the other eighteen legion commanders had already made their own choices, and there was no doubt that such an outcome was exactly what Bai Feng wanted to see.
After all the army commanders left the Governor's Palace and returned to their respective military camps, Auchinlek and the others, who had arrived in Mengdan City in advance, entered this conference room again, and the next meeting was held between Bai Feng and Auchinleck and others to discuss the future development of the three provinces of Mengdan.
Bai Feng, who had planned the development direction and investment scale of the three provinces during the march, informed Auchinleck and others of his ideas, and first finalized the specific implementation steps and methods with everyone before announcing the appointment of important officials in the three provinces.
In the three provinces of Mengdan, Lyon, and Toulon, each province will have a military officer, a secretary officer, a civil affairs officer, and a financial officer, and what Bai Feng did was to set up a new chief military officer, a general secretary general, a chief civil affairs officer, and a chief financial officer in each of the three provinces.
This kind of setting, as the name suggests, means that Bai Feng, who owns the land of the three provinces, will not personally manage the affairs of the three provinces, and it is these four general affairs officials who really manage the three provinces;
Because Moritz remained in the province of Brojansson as the military governor of the Grand Governor's Office, the butcher of the death camp was transferred by Bai Feng to serve as the general military officer, taking charge of the 35,000 city defense troops in the three provinces of Mengdan, shouldering heavier responsibilities than the commander of the corps.
Heinrich, the former provincial secretary of Brough Jansson, was appointed as the chief civil officer, Auchinleck, who was well versed in all kinds of affairs, and Cunningham, who was the chief financial officer.
The only thing that made Bai Feng not very reassured was that without Butcher Lister's death camp, only the thug Fury could suppress the lawless and arrogant soldiers in the death camp; after all, Butcher Lister was the real founder of the death camp.
