In the Beihai National Army, 1,000 non-commissioned officers and students were arranged to serve as deputy positions in the army, which did not cause turmoil. After all, Marin had said hello a long time ago, and many people knew that there would definitely be such a day.

Moreover, Ma Lin also made it clear that these non-commissioned officers are too young to take the lead alone at once. They will learn for years with the old officers who have risen through the ranks of their military exploits for many years, and then they will take over when someone retires because of their old age.

In addition, these 1,000 people mainly served as the deputy captain of the squad and the company leader, which belonged to the junior officers, and did not touch the interests of those nobles.

In fact, Marin had preferential treatment for the military aristocracy of the Beihai State. The children of military nobles who were knighted for their military exploits went to a higher school than the children of commoners. At the very least, the faculty is different.

For example, most of the schools attended by these 2,000 non-commissioned officers and retired junior officers or even soldiers served as instructors. These instructors themselves have little education, and they can't read many military textbooks themselves, let alone teach those civilian children non-commissioned officers.

In the special school for the children of the nobility in the city of Aurich, middle and high-ranking generals served as teachers of military theory courses, and the difference in the number of teachers was not ordinary.

That's why Marin eliminated half of the 2,000 non-commissioned officers. In addition to personal personality and aura, the poor foundation of military theory is also one of the important reasons. After all, a general's lecture and a veteran's lecture are two completely different concepts.

Moreover, when assigning official positions, in addition to according to grades, in the case of similar grades, the children of nobles should also be given priority to higher positions.

For example, this time, the squad adjutant and the company adjutant were mainly arranged, and those who were generally arranged as company adjutants were all children of nobles with good grades. As for the children of commoners, only a few with very good grades will be arranged as the adjutant of the company, and they will take over as the captain of the company in the future, and the starting point is much higher than that of those squad adjutants. According to the difference in the number of people under jurisdiction, the difference between the two is tenfold! Because, a squad is only 25 people, and a company is 250 people......

……

Regarding the 1,000 outstanding students who were selected as junior officer adjutants, there was no opinion from top to bottom in Beihai Kingdom. After all, the Beihai army has long been accustomed to being different from the old army. A corps commander like Steindorff, who was born as a civilian, was completely impossible in other countries.

But for the remaining 1,000 non-commissioned officers, they were formed into an army by Marin alone, which made many officers red-eyed......

Those are all "top students" who have received 10 years of education! Everyone understands as an officer, but what is it to be an ordinary soldier?

Even Schwartz expressed dissatisfaction with Marin's decision to form the remaining 1,000 non-commissioned officers into a separate army. What they are dissatisfied with is that it is too extravagant and wasteful to let so many educated "high-achieving students" serve as the main soldiers!

You know, in this era, the literacy rate in Europe was extremely low, only about one percent. Moreover, clergy also make up a large proportion of them. After all, people need culture to preach.

In such an environment, every reader who has been studying for many years is a treasure. In some small places, these scholars, even the children of commoners, would be hired by local officials to serve as bookkeepers (equivalent to secretaries, or masters in ancient China).

After all, in ancient Europe, civilians could not be officials. But the children of the nobility are not all scholars, and there are many more who do not learn and have no skills than scholars. As soon as they became officials, they needed the help of literate people. In addition, it is to share their workload.

And those educated commoner children were not without benefit after serving as the scribes of the aristocracy. With access to those official documents, they have a lot of opportunities to reap the benefits of themselves. Even, the whole family can follow the light. After all, the identity of the people around the official is also very powerful. If one person gains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Schwartz is where they are dissatisfied - these are all educated "top students", even if they can't serve as officers, it's not bad to be thrown into the local area to become a librarian or something, why waste talents so much?

……

How could Marin not know this? But the talents cultivated by Beihaiguo School are not only these people, but also college students. When those college students graduate, it is the core of politics. These non-commissioned officers and cadets with an average level of education are indeed slightly better than those official clerks currently on the job. But compared with college students who are about to graduate in less than two years, it is not worth mentioning. After all, the first batch of college students was the best group of people selected from the first batch of primary school graduates.

Therefore, although it is indeed a waste to use this batch of non-commissioned officers as big soldiers, Marin is not very distressed. Because, in the future, there will be more powerful college students. It's a pity to waste a few non-commissioned officers.

Moreover, these non-commissioned officers and students who were eliminated did not have good results. It's not all their fault, but when Ma Lin founded the folk craftsman school to train the children of the common people, he really couldn't find a qualified teacher, so he just made up for it casually. Many semi-literate people who only know Braille are also pulled into artisan schools as cultural teachers, and it is strange that they can teach great students.

But this can't be helped, when Marin first got the East Friesian Lamber, there were only tens of thousands of people in the country, and the literacy rate was one percent...... In other words, at that time, there were only a few hundred literate people in the country, and not counting the scumbags among these hundreds of people......

And a large number of these literate people are in government and church positions. Therefore, it is conceivable how many people can serve as teachers......

To put it bluntly, most of the teachers in the craftsman schools at the beginning were basically just making up the numbers, and the level was extremely poor. Being able to read all the words in the Bible is excellent.

In this context, you can imagine what kind of students are cultivated......

In Marin's eyes, the previous classes of students are nothing more than half-finished products of education, which belong to "defective products". Only when the first batch of college students come out and Beihai has teachers with a solid cultural foundation can the students trained in the future be regarded as real finished products.

Of course, you don't have to be a college student. For example, Beihai has actually set up a secondary school teacher. It is to pick the best batch after three years of junior high school to go to high school and college. Then, the rest go to secondary school teachers. After graduating, I went to the countryside to work as an elementary school teacher or something.

Because they were eliminated once after graduating from primary school, the group of people who studied secondary school teachers were not scumbags, but the level of mid-stream grades. They may not be able to teach junior high school, but they are more than enough to teach elementary school. Now, the first batch of secondary school normal students are about to graduate. In the future, there will be professional primary school teachers in Beihai Kingdom, instead of just pulling someone who knows a few words to come over and become a teacher. As for the previous batch of unqualified teachers, Marin planned to give a sum of money as severance pay. After all, they won't be needed anymore. Of course, these people have also played an important role in the education of Beihai Country, and Marin will definitely arrange good jobs for them, and will not treat them badly. For example, you can arrange to work as an accountant in a manor or something. Ma Lin remembered that in later generations, each village would have a special accountant, and he used the statistics of money and grain to calculate. These eliminated teachers, although their education level is poor, they can still write and calculate. The accounting of the manor is also considered to be the best use of the people.

……

To put it bluntly, Ma Lin dislikes the lack of education of the first few batches of non-commissioned officers and students. In his eyes, not to mention the military ability, the cultural and educational level of these first batch of non-commissioned officers can only be regarded as "defective products", and they may not be better than the scumbags of later generations. It is too reluctant to use it as a cultural person. But if you don't let it go, it's a waste, after all, you can be regarded as a cultural person in this era. Therefore, it is perfectly suitable for the formation of a high-quality elite army.
