"In order to reunite our brothers in the barracks, first of all, we have to understand the current situation in the barracks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So, please introduce your personnel and materials to you. Davers looked around at the crowd and said.

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and Antonios spoke first, then Cappus, then Alexis...... The baggage camp was the most complicated, and Mersis spoke the most verbose, and Davers had to remind him to be as brief as possible.

Davers listened and took notes. After listening carefully to everyone's introductions, he had a general understanding of the overall situation of the Menon barracks, and after a little tidying up, he said: "According to your reports, there are ten squadrons of heavy infantry in our barracks, totaling one thousand and ninety-four. Four squadrons of light infantry, a total of 487 men. In total, one thousand five hundred and eighty-one soldiers, fully armed and armoured, in good physical condition, without injuries.

The medical battalion had three doctors, six slave girls, and two camels, but with the exception of Herps, who was skilled in wound therapy, the other two doctors could not treat wounded soldiers on their own.

There were 50 guards and 273 slaves, including 198 female slaves and 75 male slaves. He had 29 pack horses, 18 pack oxen, 56 sheep, 37 chickens and ducks, and 580 bags of wheat flour. And the money left for the purchase of supplies was a taranto silver, thirty minnas, and five drachmas, and that was all our possessions. Davers put down the papyrus scroll in his hand and said to the crowd, "Do you see if there is anything missing?" ”

All the officers were a little surprised. You must know that most of the mercenaries, including these officers, are uneducated, let alone do number crunching and summarizing on their own.

Mersis "Smack! Syllable! Syllable! He clapped his hands: "Davers, you are amazing!" Such a quick arithmetic ability! Much better than me! ”

Antonios, who was next to him, remembered that Davers was illiterate, and when he glanced at the papyrus scroll, he was shocked to find that it was full of strange symbols and fonts.

The officers glanced at each other, and a little more recognition of Davers's ability was added to their hearts.

"Since there is no objection. Then wait a while, Pherisius and I are going to attend the military meeting of the mercenary leaders, and the squadron leaders are requested to inform their soldiers to check their weapons and equipment and prepare for battle. In the afternoon, the 10th Heavy Infantry Squadron was left to garrison the barracks, and the other squadrons lined up in order and entered the venue for the all-army meeting. Because there are many people, you must maintain order and prevent riots. After Davers finished speaking, he looked at Phelps again and asked, "How is the medical camp?" The war is about to start, and the wounded soldiers will definitely increase, so you have to have a plan. Clean linen bandages need to be prepared, and the auxiliary manpower needs to be at least twice as many as they are now......"

From time to time, Phelps came to Davers for medical questions, such as: Why use fire to grill debridement knives? Why should a cloth dipped in cold water be placed on the forehead of a person with a fever? …… Davers's answers were always peculiar and thought-provoking, so Phelps regarded Davers as a teacher and was always respectful: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to prepare when I go back, and if there is any difficulty, I will definitely come to you for help!" ”

"You are our Ascleros (the son of Apollo, the god of medicine in ancient Greek mythology), and of course we must help with all our might! If there is a medical problem, I can discuss it with you; Lack of labor, the captains can provide; If you're short of something, you can find Merses. Davers laughed.

People also expressed their willingness to help the medical camp.

Mersis took the initiative to report to Davers, "Chief, this morning I have had the slaves slaughter some sheep and make a lot of bacon sausages. What do you think of the rest of the sheep and chickens and ducks, and the surplus cattle that I will slaughter and make sausages for the rest of the march? ”

"Mercis, you are our great steward! You're in charge of the food, and we're all relieved, right?! Davos said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"That's right! Mersis is in good charge of the baggage camp! Antonios replied.

"It's just that the cost of ** is more expensive!" Epitenis exclaimed jokingly.

"Even if you get one for free, you won't be in a hurry! You're only interested in boys! Mersis immediately countered.

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the big tent was much more relaxed.

"Phellisius, do you have anything to add?" Davos finally asked his lieutenant.

Facing the leader who was much younger than himself, Phellisius was still a little unnatural, he coughed dryly twice, and then said, "I have two questions that I hope will attract the attention of the leader. First, since we are about to go to war with Persia, will the next route of the march change? If that changes, how do we go about it? The second is ...... Well...... Before, our barracks had always served as the rear guard of the whole army, but now that the war is going to start, if we serve as the rear guard again, our battalion will suffer too much! ”

"Felicius is right, we can't be defenders anymore!"

"Rest assured, I will bring it up at the military meeting of the chiefs, and I will argue with reason! As for the question of the route of the march, I think it will be settled soon at the meeting of the chiefs, because this is the most urgent issue! Davers' confident words made the officers suspicious.

……………………………

At the end of the meeting, as soon as he came out of the big tent, the first squadron leader of the light shield soldiers, Epitenis, couldn't help but exclaim: "I can't believe that this young man is the first time to be the leader!" ”

"Don't look at his young age, the arrangement of things is not only very meticulous, but also very organized, and he is actually very majestic, and none of us experienced veterans have risen up to contradict and refute him!" Another light shield squadron leader, Zpitt, said in admiration.

"I think this young man is good! At least the atmosphere of the meeting is very good, unlike Mellon, which is a poisonous snake, which meeting does not teach everyone! Heavy Infantry Captain Lacey Marcus said with a grin.

"If this little guy has such a wonderful performance on the battlefield, he will be qualified as the leader!" Another heavy infantry squadron leader, Amintas, reminded everyone.

"Don't worry, this new leader is young, but he is a smart man, and with Phellisius by his side, there won't be any big problems." Alexis, the leader of the heavy infantry squadron, comforted.

"We are in the war, what are we afraid of! Davers only needs to play his role as a divine servant, and we will be able to reduce casualties and return home safely! Zpitt said loudly, and the crowd even claimed yes.

Cappus, who followed behind, said to Antonios with relief: "It seems that Davers has initially won the approval of everyone. ”

Antonios was still immersed in what he saw at the meeting, muttering, "He still needs to prove himself in battle, but I have faith in him!" He'll be a terrific mercenary leader! ”

……………………………

Davers stood in the doorway, calmly watching the crowd leave. At this moment, he was not thinking about the effect of his debut as a leader, but thinking about the management of the army.

The military system of the Greek mercenaries was roughly the same as that of the Greek city-states: the lowest-ranking officer was the squad leader, with ten men under his command; Above is the squadron leader, under the command of a hundred to one hundred and twenty people; Sometimes there will be a detachment leader, under the jurisdiction of about 50 people; Further up is the captain, who has about a thousand people under his command; Further up there are generals, whose soldiers are determined by the number of troops their city-states can produce. It stands to reason that Davers's rank at this time should be considered a captain, but a mercenary can have thousands of soldiers, even if it is a large mercenary group, and it can take on combat missions independently, so it can barely be regarded as a general.

In his previous life, Davers graduated from the University of Political Science and Law, but he had studied management, and he knew that the most effective number of people under the direct management of a leader was seven, and now there are fourteen squadron leaders in a military meeting. If these squadrons can be reintegrated...... Davers knew that he could only think about it now, after all, he had just become the leader, and he rashly reformed the military system, which was afraid that it would cause disgust among the officers. He suppressed the thought, turned to Merses, who was still in the tent, and said, "They are all gone, and you can tell me what you want." ”
