In a large, bright office, Walter, commander-in-chief of Elan Hill's 1st Army Group, was approving the various documents in front of him.
As a feudal official in the true sense of the word, he is now in charge of hundreds of thousands of people in his group army, as well as a lot of land where these hundreds of thousands of people are stationed.
Although the war against the demon invasion of the Magic Continent has basically ended, these areas controlled by Iran Hill have not been restored immediately, and they are still under war control.
is responsible for the management of the commander-in-chief of each group army, almost the same as the Tang Dynasty, those who held military and political power.
As an empire in the true sense of the word, the Iran Hill Empire established by Chris actually has many imperfections in the management system.
He just built a structure and populated some modern departments into it. The whole empire is still an empire, and all the ministers are just retainers under his command.
Of course, the entire empire can operate efficiently when His Majesty the Emperor is wise and powerful, but this empire is still a one-man empire in some details and parts.
"4,000 people are going to fly back to the province of Verunza...... The remaining 16,000 people will return home by train...... They are going to rest in their hometown for 3 months. "This is a troop transfer order, according to which another 20,000 people will leave the troop station this month and return to their hometowns for paid vacation.
In the past six months, General Walter has approved seven similar documents, approving the return of 150,000 men of the 1st Army Group to rest and recuperate.
Now the entire army group is no longer able to mobilize as it did in the previous state of combat readiness, and it is running around from a long distance. As the former elite of the empire, Army Group 1 can now only be regarded as in a semi-combat readiness.
After a long reorganization of half a year, the strength of the 1st Army Group has been strictly reduced to 300,000, and perhaps a few thousand people will fluctuate according to the situation, but the overall combat strength is a full 300,000.
Also reorganized, along with all the remaining army groups. These Army Groups included the 1st, 7th, and 9th Army Groups under the Northwest Front; the 2nd, 3rd, and 8th Army Groups under the jurisdiction of the Southwestern Front; the 5th, 13th, and 10th Army Groups under the jurisdiction of the Southeast Front; the 4th and 15th Army Groups under the Eastern Front of the Home Front; The 11th, 12th, and 14th Army Groups under the jurisdiction of the Home Central Front.
The 18th, 19th, and 20th Army Groups, the Security Front of the Occupied Territories, were included in the disarmament sequence, along with the cancelled 16th and 17th Army Groups.
Therefore, the current establishment of the regular army of Irlanhill has returned to the size of 15 army groups and 4.5 million regular troops.
This time, the troops were cut and became the largest in the history since the rise of Iran Hill. At present, 15 group army groups have been collectively downsized, and the original huge strength of 400,000 or even 500,000 has been reduced to 300,000.
The 18th, 19th, and 20th army groups, which originally had the largest number of troops, and the more than 2 million security forces totaling were all directly dismantled, and all the mobilized reservists returned to their hometowns and returned to normal life.
The existing army group structure, that is, the structure of the 15 army groups of the main force of Elanhill, remains unchanged, but the combat units under its jurisdiction are rotated, and only one-third of the troops can enter the combat state at any time.
The remaining two-thirds of the troops only retain the structure of combat units, and the personnel under their subordinates are qualified to return to their hometowns according to the lottery method, and at least 20,000 people are granted leave to leave each month.
Carrying out this order was a frustrating process, and all the senior generals could only watch their troops go from a state of combat readiness to a state of three-level combat readiness when people went to empty buildings.
Except for a small number of main forces, most of the remaining troops are still only in the headquarters and some of the personnel on duty. Of the 300,000 troops, 150,000 are either on vacation in their own homes or on their way home.
"Next month, another 20,000 people will be released...... But the good news is that the first 30,000 people to go on vacation are estimated to have returned......" muttered to himself, and Walter signed his name to the order from the General Headquarters.
Then he heard a knock at the door, and after giving the order to come in, he saw his lieutenant enter his office with a document.
"Your Excellency, General! The order that has just been sent by the General Staff...... The selection mechanism for going to the Demon Realm has been relaxed, and within 72 hours after receiving this order, we will select 5,000 qualified soldiers in a state of combat readiness and transfer them to Seris to standby. As soon as he entered, the adjutant explained his intentions.
Walter frowned, he was worried that the sudden increase in troops in the Demon Realm at this time was not because the war was not going well.
However, the adjutant quickly dispelled this doubt: "The telegram said that the increase in troops was due to the fact that the occupied area was getting bigger and bigger, the battle was going very smoothly, and the interviews on television and His Majesty's speeches were also about celebrating the victory. ”
The sensitive Walter breathed a sigh of relief, he also knew that His Majesty the Emperor was not a fool, if it was true that the front line was not going well, it would definitely not be a matter of recruiting troops to go to the Demon Realm to deal with.
How can there be a foolish decision to disband 5 million troops who are idle at home and then let the war on the front line tighten?
Besides, if you casually dispatch a front army to the Demon Realm and cancel your vacation, you can also instantly increase the combat strength of 900,000 on the front line, and you don't need to make such a small fuss at all.
In fact, the expeditionary force did think about directly transferring a group army group, or the entire front army, to the Demon Realm. But there are many problems in this kind of scheduling, and in the end, we can only start from scratch and let the matter go away.
After all, the transfer of any combat unit in the past will cause dissatisfaction among other combat units, and it is only fair and just to supplement the existing Demon Realm Expeditionary Force.
In any case, Walter is now half a level higher than Madias in terms of administrative level - if the commander of an army group of his level is transferred to the Demon Realm, then the ownership of the command will change again.
"I'll leave this matter to you...... Personnel should be selected as soon as possible in accordance with the requirements of the order...... Now that the conditions have been relaxed, ask the crazy people who always come to submit their applications and see if they are willing to go......" Walter thought for a moment and commanded.
Although he was reluctant to let those hundred battle elites leave, now that the Demon Realm has really relaxed its requirements, it is not realistic to continue to keep people.
After all, these ace tankers, ace fighter pilots, want to go to the Demon Realm to continue fighting, it's not a matter of a day or two.
