In the cold winter season, whether it is the construction of civilian infrastructure or national defense projects, or various outdoor activities have been greatly reduced. But that doesn't mean people don't have to do anything, and it's an important time for decision-makers to think calmly, take stock and plan carefully. They examine the reality, discuss strategies, and make plans in front of the fireplace, and those who are down-to-earth brave the bitter cold to carry out the necessary field investigations and refine the plan, so that they can be quickly launched and advanced at the beginning of the next spring.

During this period, Weiss had a lot of contacts with General Freese, the commander of the 17th Defense Division of the Lorraine garrison, on the one hand, to negotiate how to implement the military-civilian projects related to the garrison troops, and on the other hand, because the military top brass summed up the shortcomings of the previous war, established the general direction of the military mobilization system reform program, and initially selected five federal states for pilot exploration, Lorraine, which was completely occupied by the Normans during the war, was one of these five pilot federal states.

The so-called military mobilization system covers the reserve military system, national training and mobilization, equipment and material production and other related fields in a broad sense. Analyzing the two major wars that have occurred in the past 30 years, it is not difficult to find that there are no big problems with the reserve military system and the wartime production transition of the Federation, and the more obvious shortcomings lie in the national training: from the perspective of economy and security, the federal army adopts a mixed system of conscription, except for regular troops and reserve troops at all levels, and does not carry out universal military training for ordinary citizens, this traditional military system can maximize economic development and cope with most military conflicts, but with the "accumulation" of the Norman Empire Although the federal army has replenished sufficient strength through multiple batches of national defense mobilization and wartime mobilization, a considerable number of recruits have failed to receive sufficient training before going to the battlefield, resulting in a series of undesirable consequences such as an increase in the casualty rate, a decrease in military morale, and a surge in pensions. Therefore, after the war, the Supreme Military Council of the Federation spared no effort to promote the reform of the military mobilization system, calling for planned and targeted military training for the general population in peacetime, so as to carry out deep mobilization in the event of the threat of war. Once the war starts, as many troops as possible can be mobilized in the shortest possible time, even if the enemy breaks through the border defense line and enters the Federation, he will be constrained everywhere in the "vast sea of people's war" and will not be able to move an inch.

Of Lorraine's population of more than 30 million, 9 million are registered as healthy men of working age, which is equivalent to the total number of federal troops mobilized at the beginning of the last World War, and Lorraine is just one of 27 federal states. Of course, this is only the theoretical maximum, and it is impossible to pull all the men to the front to maintain the industrial agriculture and economic and social spheres of this place, but even if only half of them are mobilized, it is possible to form an army of astonishing size. During the war, led by the example of the Lorraine guerrilla fighters led by Weiss, the guerrilla movement flourished in various parts of Lorraine. According to incomplete statistics, during the heyday of the guerrilla movement, hundreds of thousands of fighters were engaged in the guerrilla forces, while the Norman assault troops were more than 100,000 at their peak, and the guerrilla forces had a numerical advantage over the hostile aggressors several times. Although the weapons and tactical conditions of the two sides are too far apart, this numerical superiority still has the possibility of expelling the enemy.

In hindsight, it was found that the reason why the guerrillas failed to form such a fire and deal a greater blow to the enemy was that most of them had too low military literacy, almost equal to civilians, and that all their equipment was very short. At a time when the Supreme Military Council of the Federation is vigorously promoting the reform of the military mobilization system, people of insight in various localities have also called for the establishment of a mobilization and training system that combines the military and the people. With the progress of reform, the federal army was able to take the opportunity of updating its standard equipment to distribute a large amount of old equipment used in wartime to the localities, and the garrison units in various localities took the lead in preparing military and civilian training.

The old warlords famously said, "When a machine gun goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold." It is not only about the benefits of war, but also about the eternal philosophy of burning money in war. Whether it is war mobilization or peacetime preparation and training, it requires a lot of money to maintain. The Ulster Free Confederation had a strong industrial power, and the government had been full of government for many years, but after the devastation of the war and the post-war tax cuts, it finally fell to the point of overspending. In several meetings with Weiss, General Fries mentioned that the military's training funds were far from meeting the needs of military and civilian training tasks -- the Supreme Military Council and the General Staff required the 17th National Defense to organize the training of at least 400,000 school-age citizens every year, each of whom would be trained for no less than one week, during which no less than 50 rounds of live ammunition would be fired. The military can provide sufficient ammunition, but to summon these civilians to various training grounds of the garrison units, there is a big shortage of travel expenses, meals, necessary equipment and materials other than firearms and ammunition, and local assistance is needed to raise them.

In order to promote the development of the local area, Weiss has spent all the funds of the Lorraine State Government for the whole year after taking office, and has also borne a lot of debts, so it is impossible to bear such a huge amount of military and civilian training funds. Under the call and mobilization of Weiss and the state government, businesses and people have donated money. In order to avoid unnecessary waste of such donations, the state government and the 17th National Defense Division jointly set up a military and civilian training committee, and took the initiative to invite inspectors from the federal security inspection department to centralize the management of the funds raised by all parties, publish them regularly, and use them prudently.

With the enthusiastic support of all walks of life in Lorraine, the first phase of military and civilian training was carried out smoothly after the beginning of spring, and 100,000 school-age young people from various cities and towns used the training sites and barracks of the garrison units for a week of national defense training equivalent to the intensity of the reserves. In addition to raising all kinds of materials for the trainees, another important guarantee is to allow enterprises and factories to continue to pay wages during the period when workers are temporarily absent from work, so as to ensure that they have no worries about life. The Union of Lorraine Industrialists has played a good role in this, and the factory owners have responded to the call of the state government and the military to rotate a quarter of the workers to participate in the training.

In addition to regular training, in view of the fact that Lorraine is located in the western part of the Union, and the Monamolin Mountains are the sphere of influence of the Norman Empire, in order to strengthen the response to various emergencies, Weiss negotiated with the Ministry of Safety Supervision and the garrison troops to establish a local emergency prevention mechanism, the core is to set up a joint emergency detachment, 50 officers and soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion directly under the 17th National Defense Division, 10 armed inspectors from the Ministry of Security Supervision, 50 police officers from the police departments of the state and town governments, and several instructors from the special forces for comprehensive training. Although this emergency response team has only more than 100 people, it is more effective than the traditional vigilance and prevention mechanism in terms of mobility and professionalism.

Weiss personally served as the honorary captain of the emergency response team, and donated a batch of freestyle assault rifles, new grenades, and full sets of equipment in the name of the Clumber-Heisen factory, so that this elite force was "armed to the teeth". Taking advantage of the complexity of the climate at the turn of winter and spring, we have organized rigorous field training and combat training, and strive to meet the entry standards of special service units.

Adequate preparation is all about dealing with unforeseen needs, and if they could, one would rather never have such an unforeseen need, but that unforeseen need will always come in a way that people are caught off guard. During an operation led by the Federal Inspectorate of Security to arrest suspicious persons, the latter used force during the escape, wounding two inspectors and a policeman in an exchange of fire before fleeing. Subsequently, the Ministry of Security and Inspection, together with the garrison troops and police personnel, conducted a search and arrest, which was the first actual combat operation of the emergency response team. In support of the operation, the Clumber-Haysen family's Agroforestry Flying Team also joined in, starting from Somusonas and tracking the target's possible escape range, which was more efficient than the federal flying ships and military aircraft stationed in Slane, and they found the escape of a hostile man, and locked on the target for the ground personnel and the military personnel who arrived on the flying ship. With no escape, the hostile chose to kill himself by drinking bullets, while another of his companions had already scattered and fled, taking advantage of the terrain to escape. Garrison troops, police personnel and inspectors had to open a vast search net, but no trace of the person was found that day. After a night of searching, hope seemed slim. In this case, the conventional method could no longer work, Weiss personally went out and formed the "strongest CP" in the civil aviation community of Lorraine with Nikolai, and conducted an aerial search for the suspicious area. Taking advantage of his special vision, Weiss found the suspicious man in a col the next afternoon, and led the ground troops to encircle him, who eventually killed himself.

Although it is a pity that they were not able to catch them alive, the items and items found from their bodies and the materials found in their temporary residences basically concluded that they were personnel sent by the Norman Empire to spy on intelligence, and their targets were the military facilities of the Federal Army in Lorraine, military production and various industrial facilities, which was also consistent with the previous speculation of the Federal Security Inspectorate. As a result of this, the federal military and security services realized that the security system against enemy infiltration in peacetime was still inadequate, and Weiss took the opportunity to propose a new civilian aviation flight school, with technical support from the military, to be included in the military and civilian training system, and this proposal was quickly approved by the military leadership.

In view of the dense population of the cities and industrial areas, and the large number of young and middle-aged people, Weiss and the garrison troops discussed the establishment of military and civilian training centers in various industrial areas and towns with a large number of factory schools, and the military and police departments together to set up standing warehouses for supplies, so that workers in the industrial zones could use the evenings and weekends for rotational training, while in secondary and higher education schools, school-age students could take advantage of the winter, summer and weekends to participate in military training. In this way, the pressure of organizing residents' training can be dispersed, and the effect of accumulating small amounts will be accumulated, so that more people can receive regular national defense training, and on the other hand, these arms training can play a role in auxiliary law and order, and only need to lay telephone lines for them, and if necessary, personnel with auxiliary military capabilities can be mobilized to participate in the operation.

Taking the arrest of the two hostile elements as an example, the Lorraine State Government, together with the troops stationed therein and the Federal Security Inspectorate, worked out several contingency plans for different situations, and subsequently held two anti-infiltration exercises of a certain scale, which achieved very good results. Soon after, a high-ranking military mission was sent to inspect the military and civilian training in the Lorraine area. To Weiss and Brooks, the mission had a very familiar old face, General Punk. Today, he is the secretary general of the Federal Civil-Military Training Commission. The veteran was Weiss's immediate boss during the Second Lorraine Guerrilla War, as well as Brooks' old boss in military intelligence. For the work carried out by the two former subordinates in Lorraine, the old chief naturally gave a high degree of affirmation. Under his strong recommendation, the federal military decided to take Lorraine as a model and listed the civil aviation school as a military-civilian training point, the combination of highways and wartime airfields, and other military-civilian cooperation projects as typical examples for notification and promotion, and gave certain commendations to the state government, the garrison troops, and the local federal security inspection departments stationed here, and the military top brass also set the joint exercise in the spring of this year in the federal states of Lorraine and Nachâtar, and named it the "Western Front."
