Angus waved his hand to sign Andrew, who got up to ask questions, to sit down, and nodded approvingly to the thoughtful officer, "Andrew's opinion is very good, there are two points here that I must explain." ”

"The first point is that the teams directly under all levels are not essentially the pro-soldier teams as we used to understand them, and its original intention is to be the elite forces at all levels, but because its chief officer is also the adjutant at the next level, it is called a direct team, and you can also call it the "first squad", "first squadron", "first flag team" ......

"The second point is that the corps has determined the establishment of "adjutants" at all levels, and in essence, the adjutants at all levels are our "first" squads, squadrons, and flag captains in the past. In the past, if a superior commander was killed or wounded or temporarily left the ranks, this subordinate first officer would take command of the army. At present, we have set up the establishment of "adjutants", one of which is to make it clear that the absence of such chief officers is a matter of command of the army; Second, while commanding the contingent directly under the adjutant, the adjutant is also specifically responsible for auxiliary military affairs such as baggage, barracks, military discipline, and morale; The third is also to train more officers, and once the army is expanded, these adjutants can immediately become the commanders of the newly formed army. ”

"In addition, the subordinate teams under the command camp of the corps are not completely disconnected from the two infantry corps. For example, the baggage brigade and the medical brigade are only subordinate to the command camp of the Chinese army in terms of establishment, but they are also assigned to various independent armies according to the needs of the battle, and these teams are also under the command of the army commander at the same level and the full-time commander at the higher level. ”

"In addition, companies and sub-regiments must set up clerical positions, but they are all subordinate members of the battalion of company commanders and sub-regiment commanders."

When Angus finished speaking, he raised the wine glass on the long table to moisten his throat, and a whispered conversation rang out in the stone house.

Kazak waited for everyone to be quiet for a while, and continued to preside over the military meeting, "If you have no objections for the time being, we will discuss the next item, and ask Lord Otto to introduce you to the military ranks and class flags." ”

There was no nonsense in Otto, he read aloud directly from the contents of the birch bark:

"Soldier rank:

Miscellaneous military service and conscription peasant soldiers have no ranks

Warrior - ordinary soldier

Sergeant – Squad Leader

Sergeant Major - Squadron Leader

Officer-level ranks:

Knight Squire – Flag Captain or Squadron Leader

Trainee Knight – Company Captain or Flag Captain

Commander of the Troop - A regimental commander or company commander

Knight of the Square Banner - Adjutant of the Legion or Sub-Commander

Baron Leader - Adjutant of the Legion

Viscount of the Court Frontier, Atwood Wells – Captain of the Legion

Field Army Auxiliary Officers and Clerical Officers are appointed at a lower level;

The above are field troops. The garrison troops in various places should add the prefix "garrison" before the title, and the configuration should be downgraded by one level. ”

"The banner schema of the military is also basically finalized - infantry iris shield, cavalry flying horse, archer Zhang Xian, chariot two-wheeled, and baggage axe hammer."

In the barracks of Beiguan Military Fort Yate, several high-ranking officers were waiting for Yate's instructions in the barracks.

"At present, we do not have the strength to be fully formed, so the first infantry regiment will first replenish the new recruits to form a complete formation, and the second detachment will temporarily form a third of the skeleton, and we will slowly fill it later. The units directly under the command camp of the Chinese army have also temporarily built a two-thirds framework and slowly filled it. ”

"Otto, Angus, Kazak, all three of you have tendentious missions until the reorganization and expansion of the Legion is completed. Odo was responsible for the army's armament and armor, the production of uniforms, the supply of food and supplies, and the distribution of military salaries; Angus: You are responsible for formulating the training content of the reorganization and expansion of the corps, especially the coordination between the various arms; Kazak, you are mainly responsible for the adjustment of personnel during the reorganization and expansion. The command camp of the Chinese army and the officers at all levels will cooperate with you, but they are only hands and feet, and the three of you are the heads. ”

"Yes, sir!" The three high-ranking officers spoke in unison.

"Otto, the workshop has now begun to mass-produce weapons and armor, and the European Comptoir will also purchase a large number of weapons and armor for the Welsh Legion in the near future, and I don't worry about armament."

"However, our standard military uniforms must be delivered as soon as possible, and after the reorganization and expansion of the regiment is completed, I will let everyone wear new military uniforms."

"My lord, I'll take someone to the workshop today to have a look......"

In the southern part of the valley, the workshop area is in full swing.

The weapons workshop worked day and night to make swords, axes, hammers, spearheads, and iron deck armor; The carpentry workshop made spear shafts, shields, and axe handles for the weapon workshop; The breweries were even busier, producing beer and wine not only for the thousands of people in the valley territory, but also for the soldiers and officers who had money and a vowel drink, and most importantly, the Welsh beer produced in the valley was now well-known and an important commodity sold by the European comptoirs.

However, the busiest of the last few days were the textile workshops, because they had just received a large order from the army for 1,000 burqas and uniforms, which had to be completed within 20 days.

After receiving the order, the weaving workshop stopped wool weaving, woolen production and cotton spinning, and all the manpower was devoted to the production of military uniforms.

Although the civil government had already stockpiled the fabrics for the uniforms through caravans and workshops, the production of the uniforms by hand was still slow.

“...... Lord Odo, this is the first batch of formed burqa military uniforms, mainly for officers above the flag captain, the burqa itself is a cotton material gray and white, we have printed the troop pattern on both sides of the belly and back of the burqa, and the rank pattern that has just been issued is printed on the left chest. ”

The steward of the weaving workshop drew out a robe that had been made, this military uniform was somewhat similar to the standard burqa of the knights of the Order, except that the cross on the chest and back was turned into an infantry irise, and on the left chest of the burqa was a pennant rank badge that recognized the size of a palm, which was an infantry uniform, worn by a knight's squire, usually the rank of flag captain.

This type of military uniform is not armor, it is only put on the armor to show identity and rank.

"Lord Odo, the textile workshop has not stopped work for five consecutive days and nights, we only have thirteen textile craftsmen and twenty apprentices here, this batch of burqas is too urgent, at present, we have basically completed the number of officers above the flag captain due to the small number, but the number of military uniforms of the soldiers under the flag captain is too large, I am afraid that it will not be able to ...... on schedule" In the textile workshop, The beard and hair were covered with white flying flotsam, and the workshop steward looked helplessly at Otto and Spencer who had come to urge the burqa and military uniforms.

"Then I don't care, didn't the burqa cloak and military tent felt blanket you made for the army be delivered on time? Why not this time? "Spenser, the baggage officer, is not so easy to deal with.

"Your Excellency, what you said is the previous piecemeal military supplies, fifty sets this month and one hundred sets next month, of course we can deliver them on time. But this time is different, not to mention a thousand sets of burqa uniforms, the main thing is that you have to print the class badge and rank badge according to the pattern set by the army, the Welsh Legion has many arms, many ranks, and the number of people and body shapes are not the same, we also have to roughly divide into large, medium and small according to the size and model you sent. How much time will it take~"

Spencer also wanted to put more pressure on the weaver steward, but Otto stepped in to stop Spencer.

"Well, I know that there are a lot of difficulties in the weaving workshop. However, the army will be reorganized in about ten days at most, and according to the deployment of adults, the army is likely to go out to fight after the winter wheat harvest. ”

Otto looked down and thought for a moment, "Well, I'll give you a few suggestions. First, now that the spring ploughing of the valley is almost complete, and the winter wheat harvest should be some time, you can go to the villages in the valley to recruit people, especially those women who know some tailoring skills, they can always help you sew and mend. The additional money spent on temporary hiring can be out. Second, there are some relatively new burqas in the army warehouse, and I will ask the baggage team to collect them and hand them back to the workshop to be re-pulped and washed, and then printed with a pattern and changed into military uniforms. ”

After listening to the careful consideration, the two methods proposed by Otto can indeed relieve the pressure, and the anxiety in his eyes suddenly dissipated a lot, "Okay, I will immediately go to the civil affairs officer to discuss the matter of hiring temporary personnel." Then please also ask the army to hand over the burqa to us for restructuring as soon as possible. ”

Otto glanced at Spencer, and Spencer nodded repeatedly, "Lord Odo, I'll send all the burqas in the storeroom as soon as I get back." Please ask the steward to calculate an approximate amount of the money needed to hire laborers in the workshop as soon as possible, and I will go to the command camp to apply for this money. ”

Otto nodded in satisfaction.

"You must pay close attention to the matter of military uniforms, and you must not slack off in the slightest, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the adults, and the old butler will not have a good face at that time." Otto whispered a few words of reminder to the steward.

Otto lowered his voice again, and said to the steward of the textile workshop: "In addition to supervising the production of military uniforms, I have also been ordered by adults to come and see the production of paper."

"Good! It just so happens that we have made some breakthroughs, and we are just here for you to see. Speaking of paper, a smile appeared on the steward's face.

The steward led Otto out of the weaving workshop alone, and came to a separate courtyard next to the weaving workshop, also built by the river.

This courtyard is different from other workshops, although it is small in size, it is surrounded by high wooden fences and high walls, and the small courtyard has only one small door, and the entrance is guarded by two armed peasants guarding the workshop area all year round, and no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave the courtyard unless they are personally led by the steward of the textile workshop or the warrant of the workshop officer.

The workshop steward walked to the door and gave two orders to the two peasant soldiers, and when the peasant soldiers saw Lord Odo following the army behind the steward, they immediately bowed to Odo, and then opened the courtyard door to let Odo and the two enter.
