"Chapter 14: The Problem of Training"

War comes when you need it, but it doesn't end as you want!

- NiccolΓ² Machiavelli (Italian political thinker and historian)

After coming to the military camp on the east bank, Bai Feng found that the next battle might not be as smooth as he imagined; the various legions with complete replenishment of troops were very slow in recovering their combat effectiveness, and they could not recover their heyday in a short period of time.

In fact, if you think about it, the five legions that have just suffered heavy casualties have lost no less than a quarter of the number of dead soldiers in each legion, and the Cheetah Legion and the Tasya Legion, which are responsible for the frontal defense, have suffered losses as high as one-third or more.

It was almost impossible to restore the combat effectiveness of these legions in less than a month, and with Bai Feng's knowledge of the army, he could even tell that the soldiers of each legion were clearly divided into two parts.

The officers and men of the Tuntian Legion, who were newly added to the main field corps, were ridiculed and discriminated against by the veterans of the main army in training and other aspects, and occasionally there were occasional humiliations of the recruits among the veterans, but no one interfered.

This phenomenon has led to a growing division between the various legions, and the opposite is true for Joshuael's Aceni Legion, which was refilled by Queen Boudicca with unusual speed after more than half of the casualties last time.

The more than 8,000 veterans of the Aceni Legion were very active in helping to replenish the training of more than 11,000 new dollars, and the combat effectiveness of the entire Aceni Legion increased rapidly, at least much faster than the legions in the city of Rome.

On the night of arriving at the military camp on the east bank, Bai Feng spent the night in his military tent thinking about how to solve the problem of polarization within the various legions in Rome City, and it was not until late at night that Bai Feng, who really couldn't think of a good solution, came up with a reluctant solution.

Early the next morning, as soon as the military horn sounded in the barracks, Bai Feng walked out of the military tent with his three entourages; Wendell, who was in charge of guarding the military tent, saw Bai Feng come out, and quickly came to Bai Feng's side with a team of soldiers.

"Commander Wendell, you immediately send five heralds to the tents of the five legion commanders, and ask them to gather all the captain-level generals of their legion to me as soon as they receive the order, I have important military information to discuss with them. ”

Before Wendell could say hello to him, Bai Feng first opened his mouth to give a new order, and Wendell, who had received the order, did not delay at all, and immediately arranged for the five soldiers behind him to go to the commanders' tents of each legion to convey the order.

Wendell, who is neat and tidy, is the first barbarian warrior that Bai Feng is familiar with, and he has always admired Bai Feng for his uprightness; since he entered the Governor's Guard as the commander of the infantry, Wendell's performance has not changed, and Bai Feng's appreciation for him is the same as always.

"Wendell, you are also the old man of the Doge's Guard, and you have been the commander of the infantry since the formation of the Doge's Guard, how much do you think it would be appropriate for our Doge's Guard to be expanded?"

"Governor, unlike other legions, our Governor's Guard is much more rigorously trained than ordinary soldiers, and if we want to complete the expansion without affecting our combat effectiveness, I think the maximum number of infantry cannot exceed two thousand. ”

"Two thousand? Just an increase of a thousand, isn't that not much bigger? ”

"Governor, the primary purpose of our Governor's Guard is to ensure its own strong combat effectiveness, and our existing 1,000 infantry soldiers have been replenished after the last casualties, and their combat effectiveness is still in the recovery period, and has not yet recovered to its peak.

If we expand the number of troops by a large number, it will certainly lower the overall combat effectiveness of our Governor's Guard, and only by increasing the number of troops by 1,000 can I have the confidence to quickly pull up their combat effectiveness in a one-by-one way, otherwise it will be difficult to recover the declining combat effectiveness. ”

"Wendell, I heard Antio tell me that you will work hard, and now it seems that what he said is not bad at all, I will remember your efforts, and I hope that you can continue to work hard in the future, and do not let me down!"

"Swear allegiance to the Doge!

"You......"

Originally, Bai Feng was going to say a few more words to Wendell, but the arrival of a large group of generals not far away made him retract his words, and instead waved to Wendell to signal him to stand aside, and Wendell, who understood it, immediately bowed down and retreated to the side.

"Governor!" The first to arrive was Bazel and his more than a dozen captains, after they came to Bai Feng's body, they lined up in two columns in an orderly manner according to their position level to greet Bai Feng in unison, Bai Feng just nodded slightly and motioned for them to stand beside him.

Then came Gamilios and his captains, Gatus and his captains, Eggers and his captains, and finally Bronno and his captains, whose legion was the farthest from the tent of White Peaks.

"Generals, I have called all of you here today because I am going to take you to see what you are worth learning. After all the generals had arrived, Bai Feng smiled and said this to the generals who were looking at him.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the generals to put forward their opinions, Bai Feng took the lead with his three entourages and walked outside the barracks under Wendell's escort;

A large group of people left the barracks straight, and after walking for about ten minutes to the north of the barracks, everyone came to the station of the Essini Legion; listening to the training slogans coming from the barracks, Bai Feng stopped his steps, turned to the generals behind him, and said:

"Yesterday I passed by the barracks of the Aceni Legion before I went to our barracks in Rome, where I saw the training of the Esthenic Legion, and then in our barracks the training of our legions.

I don't know why, but I always feel that our training is very different from theirs, but I don't know which training method is better, so I'll let you professional generals take a look at it today. ”

Hearing Bai Feng say this, most of the captains laughed, they didn't think that the training methods of the Aceni Legion would be superior to them, but the faces of the five legion leaders all showed a solemn look, they didn't think that Bai Feng was showing off with himself and others.

Outside the barracks of the Essini Legion, the soldiers guarding the barracks all knew Bai Feng, the governor, and after seeing Bai Feng, they immediately opened the door of the barracks respectfully, and hurried to report the situation to the commander of the Joshuel Legion.

In order to show his respect for Commander Joshur, Bai Feng led his generals to wait at the gate of the barracks for a while, and it was not until Commander Joshuel came that everyone entered the barracks of the Aceni Legion under his leadership.

At this time, the training in the barracks was already in full swing, and the veterans of the Acenian Legion were almost one-on-one helping the recruits to train, and in such a scene, if the generals of the Roman city did not understand Bai Feng's deep meaning, they would really live in vain.
