- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

Eight hundred female knights with a certain combat effectiveness were arranged in the center of the barracks in a neat formation divided into sixteen phalanxes, and on the periphery of them were a larger number of female knights at the level of knightly squires;

Under normal circumstances, strength always increases with age, and female knights at the knight squire level only need to work hard for two or three years to be promoted to junior knights, and then they can be supplemented with regular female knights.

In order to prevent the heroic female knights from being too ostentatious, Bai Anjun prepared a red veil for each of them, and the female knights wearing fiery red special knight armor and red veils on their faces made Bai Feng even more pleasing to the eye.

In fact, the age of these female knights is not very old; the average age of the eight hundred regular female knights is less than thirty years old, and the average age of the alternate female knights is only twenty-four years old, which is the most youthful and beautiful age for a girl.

As the border area between the Celestial Dragon Empire and the barbarian tribes, the border conflicts and wars that break out every three or five years almost every year in the southern border region have destroyed countless ordinary people's families in the southern border area by the flames of war.

Most of the female knights under Bai Anjun's command came from the families of ordinary people who had been displaced, either they had lost their loved ones at home or their former lovers, and the trauma they had endured made them stronger.

There are also some young ladies from noble backgrounds who take the initiative to join this female knight unit under the urging of enthusiasm, and they have the same noble blood and good strength as the noble men;

A squadron of fifty female knights is the standard for the Knights of the Celestial Dragon Empire, while a smaller squad consists of ten knights, a larger brigade consists of two hundred and fifty knights, and a wing consists of one thousand knights.

The Knights of the Southern Territory, which is about to be formed, have the establishment of three wings, with a total of 12 brigades, 60 squadrons, and 300 squads;

According to Bai Feng's previous concept, the Rose Knights should also have three wings of regular combat knights, and the number of other supplementary knights and logistics personnel is about 5,000 people; this is the biggest deficiency of the imperial army, which is too dependent on logistics.

For the barbarian army and the system army in the city of Rome, as long as they can eat enough, they can exert 100% combat effectiveness on the battlefield, but the imperial army cannot, they need perfect and complex logistics to ensure the maintenance of combat effectiveness.

Sometimes Bai Feng had to admit that women's endurance was indeed much stronger than that of men, and although the dependence of these female knights on logistics was much higher than that of the army of Rome, it was much lower than that of the normal regular army of the Empire.

Why is it that with the strength of the Celestial Dragon Empire, apart from the three major knight orders and the four super legions, it can only feed thirty-two standing legions? Who knows how many logistical personnel are needed for the 320,000 regular army soldiers? And the logistical personnel themselves need the empire to provide for them!

Taking the Bai family's 11th Army Corps as an example, the 11th Army Corps with five wings under its jurisdiction is the Imperial Standard Standing Corps, with as many as 10,000 field soldiers in the whole army, and these 10,000 soldiers need a full 20,000 people to provide them with all kinds of logistical assistance.

This is still the status quo under the premise that the military investment in the southern region is not much, if those standing legions stationed on the eastern border or the northern border of the empire, they have at least 30,000 logistics support personnel in each legion, more than three times the combat personnel!

Therefore, on the surface, the Celestial Dragon Empire supports 320,000 regular army officers and soldiers, but in fact it supports 320,000 regular troops and 900,000 logistics personnel; this is the war of the civilized world, and logistics determines the strength of the army's combat effectiveness and determines the victory or defeat of the war.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and the original Deman Kingdom is the biggest exception in the civilized world; their rise and strength are based on a strong army without logistics, and the so-called lack of logistics is equal to the logistics of the whole people.

This kind of combat mode similar to that of the steppe tribes, the orc empire, and the barbarian tribal army, looking at the history of the countries on the entire continent, only the army of the former Deman Kingdom can do it, but the environment in which the Deman Kingdom was located at that time was irreproducible.

Standing side by side with Bai Anjun on the general platform of the Rose Knights barracks, looking at the silent female knights below, Bai Feng's heart always felt a little awkward;

But the formal formation of the Knights of the Rose is indeed the most effective and low-key way for the Bai family to expand its high-end combat power, so Bai Feng has to accept this reality in front of him, and let a woman with good combat effectiveness become a vital part of the Bai family's high-end combat power.

"Auntie, the average strength of the Knights of the Rose is still too weak to meet the family's requirements for the Knights. Facing Bai Feng's questioning, Bai Anjun rolled his eyes and asked, "Otherwise, what do you think I brought you here for?"

"In this way, I will leave all the top knights under my command to you, and let them help you train the knights of the Rose Knights together, how about it?" Bai Feng, who was scolded by his aunt, had to compromise helplessly.

"Even if you have a little conscience!" Hearing Bai Feng say this, Bai Anjun's face softened and said, "I know that this plan of yours is for the good of the family, but you really think about the formation of the Rose Knights is too simple, and a knight order is not so easy to establish." ”

"According to your request, our Rose Knights need to have three thousand regular knights, which means that our Rose Knights will have to expand their size by about four times on the existing basis, where can I find so many suitable female knights to expand the Rose Knights?

Even if I could find some strong-willed girls to train them slowly, then I would need a large number of war horses, weapons and equipment to arm them, and besides, the Knights had suddenly quadrupled in size, and I could not find so many experienced squadron leaders and captains to command them. ”

"The affairs of war horses and weapons and equipment are all left to me to solve, and the captains and squadron leaders that are missing in the newly expanded Knights of the Rose are also served by the top knights I handed over to you, and the most critical recruitment of female knights must be done by you.

All the noble ladies in the province of Llorente are the ones you can recruit, as long as you pull them into the Rose Knights, it is equivalent to tying their family to our Bai family's chariot, which is the best thing for our Bai family.

If we want to ensure that the Knights of the Rose will not be destroyed by a war, we must train a large number of alternate female knights for the Knights of the Rose, replenish the losses of the Knights at any time, and ensure the overall strength of the Knights!"

The serious Bai Feng made Bai Anjun feel that he couldn't help but choose to obey, that was a kind of majesty from the superior, especially when Bai Feng deployed various affairs, Bai Anjun felt that his father was not as good as Bai Feng at this moment.

"Okay, I'll do all these things you arranged!" The two aunts and nephews standing on the podium, the conversation at the moment was like a duet between the monarch and the minister, but all this seemed so natural that there was no sense of disobedience.
