Chapter 255: The Regent Who Fights Hard

For those who have small happiness and troubles in the lives of ordinary people, whether it is a ruler who is high above, or a half-elf who has been wandering all his life to find his spiritual home, it is an unusually strange and cold topic for them.

I vaguely remember watching the movie "Schindler's List" in the old world, watching the poor little girl in red walking alone among the piles of corpses of the Nazi Holocaust, coupled with the sad and gentle violin music, that kind of shocking and enormous power, which cannot be presented to the audience without a true master of cinema. The nameless little girl in Xiangjiang, who has only seen twice in his life, and her two brief encounters, the strong contrast between death and life, gave Luo Zhengdao no less spiritual impact than this movie, and he realized that he should do what he can, not for self-preservation, but for others.

Sympathy for the weak is the virtue of the strong, and Luo Zhengdao does not think that with his current ability and status, he needs to explain to others the original intention of doing things and the deep meaning of what he does.

didn't have the heart to illuminate Vina Dubov and explain his complicated mental journey, but at this time, Luo Zhengdao looked at her with his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and said:

"It gives me peace of mind and it's within my means, so why not? Willa! ”

Seeing this, the half-elf beauty stroked her forehead with her hand, and seemed to be speechless about Luo Zhengdao's statement, and sighed and said:

"Oh, well! All right! You can always make sense, Will. ”

Unlike the Poor Bill and the Free Medical Care Act, which were hotly debated for reaching the public, the Social Welfare Home Act was the third new measure, and the welfare home modeled after the old-world nursing homes and orphanages was quietly opened in Wake Reef. In the first phase, each of these two types of welfare institutions was established, and the maintenance funds were directly allocated by the Ministry of Finance, which are purely non-profit institutions.

Vina Dobov's meeting with Luo Zhengdao was not over, and she asked instead:

"Why are orphanages better than nursing homes?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who was smiling, patted her arm and said:

"Children grow up to be adults, and they can create a future for the future, and it's worth the investment, isn't it?"

"Hey, didn't you just say you wouldn't ask for anything in return?"

Luo Zhengdao smiled more and more slyly, and said:

"Why, you forgot the story of the monkey and the nut?"

The two idioms of Chao 3 and Chao 4 and Chao 4 and 3 were also introduced by the predecessor of the time-traveler emperor, and it is estimated that the monkeys in the New World will definitely feel that they are innocently lying on the gun, Vina Dubov heard another implied meaning, she shyly pinched Luo Zhengdao, and said:

"Will, you bastard!"

Luo Zhengdao, who had an evil smile on his face, tore off the silk scarf and was thrown at the half-elf beauty, and said with a smile:

"Come on! Baby! Whether it's three times in the morning and four times in the evening, or four times in the morning and three times in the evening, I will meet your requirements. ”

"Recruiting the army? Do you mean the Army? ”

Faul Chopin's confusion was also the common voice of his subordinates, and Luo Zhengdao said with a stern expression:

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen. We can't be adrift at sea forever, the army must have, no matter how strong the pirates are, land warfare is different from naval warfare, and I don't want sailors to meaninglessly spill their blood on the land of the main continent. ”

How big is the difference between naval battles and land battles, just look at the goblins who dominate the main continent and are beaten all the way by the Luo Zhengdao pirate group who are not very strong at sea, you can basically know how powerful they are. The so-called non-similar and incomparable, the land division has become a soft-footed shrimp when it rests on the sea, and the landing of the dragon on the sea is only afraid that it is also the possibility that the dragon swims in the shallows and is mostly played by shrimp.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhengdao threw out a plan he had drawn up in advance, the first batch of recruits for the new army was set at 500 people, which was an insignificant amount compared to the huge establishment of tens of thousands of pirates in the privateer fleet, but this did not prevent everyone from peeking into a certain tendency in Luo Zhengdao's heart through superficial phenomena.

As we all know, the privateer fleet is a pirate turner, and the mercenary temperament of these guys is too strong, and in the year of Luo Zhengdao's mysterious disappearance, there are countless negative examples of people and ships disappearing together, and if he delays his return to Wake Reef for a longer time, the consequences will be even more unimaginable. If it is a regular army, it is the most basic discipline requirement that the soldiers who can pay their salaries on time will not at least not scatter in a hurry on the premise that they cannot be sure of the death of their allegiance. If judged by this standard, Luo Zhengdao does not want to see those half-hearted sailors is a very common thing, no one likes cunning and fickle subordinates, so loyalty is called a virtue.

It is worth paying attention to here that Luo Zhengdao did not choose to recruit soldiers, but recruited talents in the way of recruitment, which is obviously an intentional cultivation of backbones.

The military academy at Wake Reef has already begun to officially operate, why does Luo Zhengdao have to go far and far to recruit soldiers from among the civilian population to train the army's grassroots officers, and send those military academy graduates who have achieved academic success to undertake this task, wouldn't it be better?

The first two years are cultural and military theory courses, which are used to learn various weapons principles and basic courses such as strategy and tactics and platoon training, and in the middle two years, the cadets are sent to the troops to serve as platoon commanders for internship, and in the last year they return to school to participate in graduation defense and examinations. At present, the students recruited by the military academy have not even completed the basic courses, and it is reluctant to call them soldiers, and immediately let them take on heavy responsibilities, this idea of pulling out seedlings and promoting them is obviously not a good idea. In addition, this is also an internal selection model, where the military cadets who are trained in a targeted manner and the volunteers who have come out of the bottom compete with each other.

In the old world that pays more attention to academic qualifications than actual work ability, Luo Zhengdao has seen a lot of two-legged bookcases and guys who rely on nepotism. The so-called invincible in the world and the number of powerless masters are too much, and only free competition without preset thresholds can make the real strong stand out.

After a period of running-in, this team composed of volunteers won the day of being reviewed, and it was naturally His Royal Highness the Regent who came forward, and no one dared to rob him of this job.

“…… It is not for nothing that an army wants to maintain steely discipline, it must rely on rigorous training and well-developed logistical supplies as a derivative of support, and a hungry army is more dangerous than a pack of hungry beasts. ”

Luo Zhengdao, who was standing on the podium, talked eloquently, like a university scholar, so that people couldn't see how long he worked hard to get rid of the embarrassing title of semi-literacy.

The army is one of the most core components of the national machine, and there is an old saying in the old world that the major affairs of the country are only worshiped and honored. Worship refers to sacrifices, such as the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, the Temple of the Sun, and the Temple of the Moon in the imperial capital of China.

Knowing the importance of mastering the army, Luo Zhengdao did not hesitate to stand under the scorching sun and be scorched, and shouted loudly to this group of future officers:

“…… Liability! Honor! Country! Remember, armies are supported by taxpayers' taxes, and it is the soldier's responsibility to keep them safe from foreign enemies. Honor is the yardstick of being a soldier, and an army that has lost its sense of honor is a beast, and you don't want to be treated as a group of beasts, do you? The country is the object of your allegiance, people will always die, and I am no exception, you will also die, whether on the battlefield or in the warm bed at home. But as long as we live, we need to rely on the strength of the state, and individuals without the protection of the state are doomed to tragedy, and those who are as strong as a dragon will inevitably be crushed by the organization......"

The star master of the old world once said, what is the difference between a person who has no ideals and a salted fish? In the same way, if an army does not have a sense of mission and honor, then there is no future to look forward to.

In ancient times, the army would be defeated if it suffered more than one-tenth of the casualties, and those who insisted on a third of the casualties were the steel divisions that could go down in history.

The modern army can even fight to the last soldier, and of course it depends on the continuous improvement of the army's organization and training level, and at the same time, it also benefits from the progress of ideological education. If officers can't teach their soldiers what to fight for, they will of course obey their survival instincts and abandon their positions and flee when they are threatened with death. There are only two ways to stop the army from falling into the quagmire of danger of collapse at the touch of a button, ideological education and steel discipline. The former warns the soldiers of the reasons for fighting to the death, while the latter warns them that the consequences of fleeing will be more cruel than death. Rather than waiting for their own military law to severely punish them, it is better to simply die at the gunpoint of the enemy, so that they can still have a good reputation and their families can also receive bereavement.

Luo Zhengdao, whose throat began to smoke, finally finished the lecture procedure, and he turned to the attendant officer and said:

"Prepare for the flag ceremony!"

Fortunately, they had undergone several rehearsals in advance, and the nervous recruits finally did not drop their chains, and under the leadership of the non-commissioned officer at the head, they shouted in unison:

"I volunteer to join the glorious Imperial Army, and hereby swear allegiance to the Imperial Government, and I am willing to fight for the defense of the Empire's territory, territorial waters, and airspace. No matter when, where, or what danger you face, you will never be afraid to retreat......"
