We can only resolutely maintain our own civilization and morality, that is, not boast of the glory of the past, but embody the moral brilliance of antiquity in our own lives, and let our lives become witnesses of the glory of the past.

Montgomery's identity is not only the leader of the former Swift Wind Thieves, but also the military leader reserved by the Duke of Cullen for Prince William, but with the passage of time and the changes of the years, the former military leader rookie has become an ordinary middle-aged uncle with no name.

If it weren't for Bai Feng's forcible incorporation of the Swift Wind Thieves into the Swift Wind Legion by force, God knows how long Montgomery's status as the leader of the Thieves would have been maintained;

Montgomery, who had wasted so many years, had no resentment in his heart against Prince William and Duke Cullen for not giving him reinforcements in time at the critical moment, but his indifference to Bai Feng's repeated solicitations was well known.

You must know that Auchinleck, Paresi and others, who were both the core leaders of the Tempest Thieves Group at the beginning, have now been entrusted with important tasks by Bai Feng, and only Prince William's cousin Mountbatten and the die-hard Castlewall are still following Montgomery's side.

As a matter of fact, Slim's delay in making a statement in the generals' statements this time may not have nothing to do with Montgomery's presence, and with Montgomery's prestige in the old department of the Tempest Thieves, it is reasonable that Slim, who was born in the Tempest Thieves Regiment, is inconvenient to express his position.

When Bai Feng's gaze shifted from Montgomery to Slim, Slim, who felt the inexplicable meaning of this look, immediately became restless, and he knew in his heart that today's statement had actually gone beyond the division of the garrison itself.

He didn't want to add a burden to Montgomery, he raised his head to meet Bai Feng's meaningful eyes, and cold sweat instantly crossed his forehead;

"Will ...... General, the last general, on behalf of the 10,000 soldiers of the First Eastern Army, swears allegiance to you to the death until death!"

The obvious imitation words are a little weird to everyone's ears, but it's better to say it than not to say it, isn't it? Slim's 'timely' statement has finally saved Bai Feng's trust, at least a flash of a smile appeared on Bai Feng's face.

Slim, whose eyes were firmly fixed on Bai Feng, secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this hint of laughter, and sat back in his place;

"General, the 20,000 soldiers of our 67th Army Corps (86th Army Corps), I hope that you will only be the first to look forward!"

In this way, there are only three generals left in the conference room who have not yet expressed their positions; among them, Montgomery's identity is special in that he was originally Prince William and Duke Cullen, and Donald's identity is special in that he was originally a teacher in the military department of the Imperial Academy.

The teacher of the Military Department of the Imperial Academy, that is, the teacher of Bai Feng himself, although the Tianlong Empire does not have a national policy of ruling the world with filial piety, but there is still a tradition of respecting teachers and valuing their elders, and it is an inappropriate thing for Bai Feng's teacher to express his allegiance to Bai Feng after all.

As for Eric, who was also the overseer of the Eastern Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with Bai Feng, if he really swore allegiance to Bai Feng on such an occasion, then, from now on, he and his family would be completely tied to Bai Feng's chariot, and there would be no possibility of separation.

Time passed little by little, and the conference room where no one spoke seemed more and more dull, and an atmosphere called awkwardness was slowly covering the entire conference room; about five minutes later, Bai Feng, who was sitting in the first place, took the lead in breaking the silence with a smile and said:

"Since the vast majority of the generals present are willing to obey my arrangement, it is up to General Basaromu to first announce the preliminary division of my garrison, and when the time comes, we will consult and discuss together, and make sure that every general is convinced. ”

After saying these words meaningfully, Bai Feng instructed Basaromu, who was full of surprise, "General Basaromu, let's start." ”

After receiving the map of the garrisons of the three provinces handed over by Bai Feng from Bai Yi, Basaromu quickly got up and left the conference table, walked to the huge map in front of the conference table, and compared the detailed map of the three provinces of Mengdan, and introduced to the generals present:

"Generals, this is the province of Lyon among the three provinces, and it is also an important backing for the first time that if war breaks out, it is necessary to send troops to reinforce the province of Montan, so the garrison here will be the main force of General D'Ambrosio's 39th Army Corps, General Bella's 40th Army Corps, and General Giannou's 44th Army Corps, supplemented by the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Eastern Army Corps as the reserve army. ”

Moving the baton from Lyon to Toulon, Barçaromu continued: "This is the province of Toulon, the province of Toulon, and it is also the rear base of our three provinces after the outbreak of war; all the food and grass necessary for the front-line army will be transported here and hoarded. ”

"Therefore, in order to ensure absolute security here, the garrison here will be dominated by the Sixty-fifth Army of Overseer Eric's Army, the Sixty-seventh Army of General Krefel, and the eighty-sixth Army of General Barao, supplemented by the Fourth and Fifth Eastern Army Corps as the reserve army. ”

"Finally, the Mengdan Province that is the closest to the Sunset Fortress is not only the frontline province where we face the Orc Army, but also the core province of our three provinces, so the remaining ten legions and 200,000 elite soldiers will all be stationed in the Mengdan Province!"

"General Basaromu, thank you for your hard work. After nodding with a smile and motioning for Barsaromu to sit back, Bai Feng turned his head and asked Eric who was second only to him: "Inspector Eric, what do you think of this preliminary division of garrisons?"

"Lord Governor, your division seems fair and reasonable, but in fact it does not take into account the difference in the combat power of each of our legions. I don't know what kind of mentality it is, but the Eric Overseer actually raised his opinion with a serious face in response to Bai Feng's polite questioning.

No matter how strange the faces of the generals present, Overseer Eric still said bluntly to himself: "The three legions under my command are called three standing legions, but the actual combat effectiveness is far from the other standing legions; for the sake of fairness, the Toulon provincial garrison should add one or two more elite standing legions, and then send one or two legions to other provinces." ”

"The combat effectiveness of the 65th, 67th, and 86th Army Corps is indeed not strong. Bai Feng, who nodded frequently, changed his words and said: "But which army was an elite division at the beginning of its formation? Every elite division was killed on the battlefield of blood and fire. ”

Thinking that Bai Feng was rejecting his proposal, the Eric Overseer said helplessly: "Lord Governor, you also know the current situation of the empire at this time, under the premise that there is no large-scale war for the time being, the three legions under my command really don't have much opportunity to hone in actual combat. ”

"General Eric, the way to improve the combat effectiveness of a legion is far more than just actual combat training. Bai Feng shook his head with a smile and said: "The improvement of the quality of soldiers, the replacement of weapons and equipment, and the promotion of new tactics are all good ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the legion." ”
