Chapter 19: Lieutenant General Raven
[[[CP|W:778|H:479|A:L]]]] "The renovation and construction of the army barracks this time must be carried out well. There is also the issue of food for the troops, and the logistics department also needs to think about it. â
After inspecting the barracks construction and living facilities of the Central Army, Lieutenant General Raven kindly and patiently arranged the next tasks to the officers in the barracks.
"Let the quartermasters think carefully about how to improve the quality of life of the soldiers, so that the soldiers can meet the tasks of each day in the fullest state, this is the state that our Central Army should have, isn't it?"
Lieutenant General Raven - a good old man with a wide reputation in the army, and the undisputed leader of the moderate wing of the army.
and the centrist Gulaman and the super-hawkish Bradley represent the three groups of thought in the military, respectively.
"Got it? Youngster? â
The lieutenant general kindly asked the officers present
"Understood, Lieutenant General Raven."
While most of the troops in the four border guard areas are supporters of moderate and hawkish factions, the Central Army is mostly dovish.
The reason is very simple, because the central region is protected by the four border military districts and has never been attacked by other countries. Therefore, the combat effectiveness is poor and pedantic. I don't know anything about the situation on the frontier.
The combat effectiveness of the Central Army is the weakest and worst in the whole army, but because there are people close to the center, it is the most horizontal and difficult to provoke.
I don't know if it's because it's too poor in combat effectiveness to become a dove, or because it's because it's a dove, it's poor in combat.
So there was such a poem in the army of Amestories
The Central Army is the leader, and the Western Army and the Southern Army are two wolves.
The northern army is as brave as a tiger, and the tiger is guarding the northern frontier.
The most fierce is the Eastern Army, fierce as a tiger and as evil as a wolf.
It is not an exaggeration to describe and describe the whole picture of the army of Amestorius in this way.
Among them, almost all the doves are from the Central Army, and the Northern Army and the Eastern Army are mainly from the moderate faction.
And the Southern Army and the Western Army hawks dominated, so they occasionally provoked neighboring countries to wage border wars.
Raven, an old fellow, has been a lover for soldiers since a long time ago, and coupled with his own efforts, he finally became the de facto spiritual leader of the doves in the Central Army.
Affectionately called 'our old Raven' by the soldiers'
It can be seen that Raven's reputation in the Central Army is very high.
"Lieutenant General Raven, some reporters from the military newspaper want to interview you and ask if you are free now?"
Raven's lieutenant came from the side and reported to him
"Journalists? Why are they here now? â
No matter what happens, he looks slow and easy, which is Raven's characteristic or temperament.
"Because I heard that you have proposed to abolish the inspectorate system throughout the army and pilot it in the Central Army, those journalists who support the doves have come to interview you and hope to help you."
Leaning his ear to the lieutenant general's ear, the adjutant whispered
"Haha~ They're really enthusiastic~ Okay, since that's the case, let them in~"
Thinking about the thoughts of these reporters, Raven thought it was funny.
The abolition of the inspectorate system seems at first glance to be a good thing for soldiers, but in reality?
What is the biggest difference between the army and the mob?
That's organizational, strictly organized.
Organization and discipline, order and efficiency, are the fundamental sources of the army's strong combat effectiveness, but what about the Overseers?
That is an important means of maintaining this efficiency and order.
If the army is deprived of the Overseer and the Gendarme, and the soldiers are given a great deal of freedom, then it is only natural that when faced with a threat to their lives on the battlefield, there will be quite a few people who choose to flee.
That's when the Overseer comes in.
Sanction the escapees, severe sanctions, so that the soldiers do not dare to run away.
It is more terrible for the soldiers to realize that escaping is more terrible than dying in battle.
So that there will be no deserters.
Raven knew that such a reform would actually gain the understanding and support of the soldiers' families, but increasing his prestige would greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the national army.
And that's what he's for.
Let the families of the soldiers of the national army happily let their children enter such a unit without combat effectiveness and discipline, and then be defeated, happily defeated and defeated and killed.
This is the end result of their abandonment of discipline.
Undisciplined troops lack order, and undisciplined troops have no combat effectiveness, they will be defeated, and a large number of soldiers will be killed.
And the soldiers who died in battle will be sacrificed to the formation of the homeland. Become Raven's immortal red fertilizer.
"Your Excellency cares so much about your subordinates, you are really a model for our soldiers~"
Some of the officers who had been deceived by Raven's false appearance looked at him with adoration.
If all the officers in the country cared about their subordinates as much as Lieutenant General Raven, the country would definitely be better off than it is now, right?
Many of the people who trusted him thought so.
"Soldiers and citizens are our children~ Looking at the happy appearance of the children, we old men will be happy, hahaha~~"
A group of idiots and untouchables, do they really think that without discipline and order, this country will still exist? Will the army still have zĂ i?
Do you think that if you relax restrictions and let the soldiers get freedom, the army and the country will be stronger? Stupid stupid.
"I believe that after the reform, our army's combat effectiveness will certainly rise to a new level."
The rookies who graduated from the Central Military Academy, the idiots who have not experienced the cruel test of war, dream of letting the glory of freedom and democracy shine on the army, but they do not know that the army has always needed iron discipline in the first place.
Without strict discipline, no matter how good a commander is, he will not be able to make the troops exert their combat effectiveness, and they will not be able to win on the battlefield, and the soldiers will not be able to survive.
Obedient soldiers are deplorable, but undisciplined troops cannot be tolerated.
In the cannibalistic international environment, without a well-disciplined army, it is impossible for Amestories to survive until now, even with the support of androids.
It's easy to destroy a country, but it takes too many people and too much effort to build and protect a country.
Raven understands this, but it's a pity......
"Yes~Let the soldiers grow up in a more relaxed environment, and they will definitely be able to exert stronger combat effectiveness~"
He wasn't going to do that.
Anyway, it's just used to make bloody chess pieces and garbage, and there's nothing wrong with being weaker in combat.
Anyway, the plan is almost complete, in his generation.
"General, the reporters are here, and now they are outside the tent."
The doorman came to report.
"Alright, just let them in."
Straightening his uniform, Raven felt good and got up for the interview.
"Donglong!"
The door was suddenly savagely pushed open, and a blue-haired witch with the aura of a beast all over her body rushed up to Raven with an angry look and a sword in her hand.
"Are you in charge of the Third Research Institute? Lieutenant General Raven? â
Cold voice and words, Estes just looked at Raven's smiling face and held back the anger in his heart and the urge to kill him directly.
"Major General Bradley! This is the venue of the Central Military Reform Commission! You can't come in with weapons! â
Seeing Estes, the undisputed extreme hawk, storming into their doves' territory, many officers angrily accused
"We, the Central Military Reform Commission, are in a meeting, please leave immediately."
Those officers of the Central Army, who were interested in interests, had an extremely strict bureaucratic style, and were experts in the civil war and outsiders in the civil war, were very jealous and envious of Estes, a major general who was in a high position at the age of 19.
The hero of the Great Battle of Saibei attacked the enemy army with an absolutely inferior force and completely collapsed it, causing civil strife in the eastern territory of the Draguma Empire.
At the end of the First World War, Ishbal commanded half of the region's troops and completely defeated the rebels, breaking away from the army at the right time to avoid the infamy of slaughtering civilians.
Less than a month after the operation on the Southern Front, the Ayerug First Army was annihilated and 100,000 prisoners of war were slaughtered.
Any one of these records can make the commander enjoy the name of a hero, but Estes alone accounts for three.
It is impossible not to be envied.
What's more, he is so good and yet so young.
's father is also the president, and it can be said that it is really smooth sailing.
It makes people jealous and wants to jump off the building.
"What's the matter? Major General Bradley? â
If others are afraid of Estes because she is Bradley's daughter, Raven is not, because he knows that Bradley is not the real king of the country, only that one is.
Bradley needed to do what he wanted, and he was the important force used to control the doves in the central army, so it was impossible to put himself in danger.
So Raven is very confident.
"If there's anything going on, just sit down and have a cup of coffee."
Bradley couldn't have punished himself, at least he thought.
"Poof!"
"Ah!!!h
But what happened next in the next scene shocked everyone.
Just as the guards were about to let the reporter in, the saber in Estes' hand suddenly plunged into Raven's arm.
This astonishing scene actually appeared in the venue of the Central Military Reform Commission at this time.
"I ask you if you are in charge of the Third Research Institute? Lieutenant General Raven. â
Hell's eyes approached Raven's distorted old face in terror.
Estes spun his saber in his hand and let him howl like a pig.
"Answer my question! Zoldt Raven! Are you in charge of the research there?! Answer me! â
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
