A woman does not see the influence of men on her as some kind of unjustified aggression, she does not try to get rid of this real violation of her personal life, and she is not ashamed of her "vulnerability".

– Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

If Bai Feng wants to improve the combat effectiveness of the five Eastern Legions, he must reinvent them; otherwise, it will be difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of the low combat effectiveness of the Eastern Legions.

How to improve the combat effectiveness of an army is nothing more than to start from two aspects: First, comprehensively replacing it with more sophisticated weapons and equipment; second, replenishing high-quality soldiers or improving the quality of existing soldiers.

The weapons and equipment of the Eastern Legion are certainly inferior to those of the Feathered Forest Legion and the Fire Legion, and they are slightly inferior to the other six standing legions and the Predator Guard, but compared to the newly formed standing legions of the Imperial Military Department, the Eastern Legion is still better equipped with weapons and equipment.

Why is it that the Imperial Standing Legion, which is not as well equipped as the Eastern Legion, can hold back the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the three steppe tribes in the north of the Empire, while the five Eastern Legions have done a mess of even the most basic joint march between the legions?

Aside from the factor of weapons and equipment, it is the quality of the officers and men of the Eastern Legion; even if the officers and men of the Eastern Legion are carefully selected by Bai Feng, their basic quality is still inferior to the recruits recruited by the Imperial Military Department from hundreds of millions of people.

On the premise that the basic quality of the soldiers is inferior to that of the new recruits of the Imperial Military Department, there are two ways to improve the quality of the officers and men of the Eastern Legion: first, to replenish a large number of experienced veterans into the Eastern Legion; second, to let the Eastern Legion personally experience some fierce battles.

For Bai Feng, these two methods are good ways to choose, but they are not so easy to implement; the advantage of the former is in front of everyone, everyone knows the value of veterans to an army, and the latter is the history of the development of the seventh wing of Bai Feng's starting army.

At the time of its establishment, the Seventh Wing was an army composed entirely of new recruits, and later, Bai Feng added a large number of robbers and rogues to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Wing.

On the one hand, the sophisticated weaponry and Roman-style tactics did play a significant role, and on the other hand, the Seventh Wing's own combat experience was becoming more and more abundant.

The fierce battle of Sunset Fortress caused the Seventh Wing to suffer heavy casualties, but also made the Seventh Wing stronger day by day, and the Seventh Wing, which had changed blood countless times, finally fought from a new army unit to a royal legion, relying on the training of battle.

The success of the Seventh Wing can be used as a reference for the Eastern Legion, but it cannot be allowed to be imitated indiscriminately by the Eastern Legion; without the continuous reinforcement of new recruits sent by the Imperial Military Department, the Eastern Legion does not have the basis for imitating the development process of the Seventh Wing.

Since the second method of improving the quality of soldiers is difficult to implement in a short period of time, Bai Feng can only choose the first method of improving the quality of soldiers; it is just that the experienced veterans needed by the five Eastern Army Corps are not a small number.

Even if Bai Feng sends veterans to the Eastern Legion to serve as the backbone according to the ratio of ten to one, the five Eastern Legions with a full formation of 10,000 people (for the time being, only the First Eastern Legion is full), the number of veterans needed will be as high as five thousand!

It has two royal legions, six standing legions, and the Fourth Route Army under the formation of the Iron and Blood Guards and the Pro-Soldier Guard, and the army that is really composed of elite veterans, only the Yulin Legion that Bai Feng focuses on, and the other troops contain a large number of recruits.

The Yulin Legion is the core combat force of the Fourth Route Army, and at the critical moment when the orc army is concentrated in Mengdan Province and the two armies are about to fall into a confrontation, how could Bai Feng, as the commander of the army, transfer veterans from the Yulin Legion? That is a stupid thing to destroy the Great Wall!

There are a lot of veterans of the Fire Legion, and there is no combat mission in the short term, the main task is to be stationed in the provinces of Brojansson and Toulon Province, but the Fire Legion is a royal legion after all, and Bai Feng cannot transfer the elite veterans of the Fire Legion without authorization through the military headquarters.

If it is through the Imperial Military Department, the fool knows that the Duke of Kulun, who is in charge of the Imperial Military Department, will not be able to agree to Bai Feng's application; this is not only determined by the opposing positions of the two sides, but also by the special status of the Fire Legion, who made the Fire Legion a Royal Legion?

What is the Royal Legion? The so-called Royal Legion refers to a special legion under the direct command of the Emperor himself and shouldering the responsibility of protecting the Emperor and members of the imperial family; such a legion has no right to be arbitrarily transferred and adjusted even by the Imperial Military Department, let alone Bai Feng.

Among the six standing corps, the 39th and 40th legions have slightly more veterans, and the other four legions have about the same number of veterans; if veterans are drawn from the standing corps, the combat effectiveness of the standing corps will inevitably decline to a certain extent.

After some careful consideration, Bai Feng decided to consult with the commanders of the various legions, and together they came up with a relatively safe solution, and before the legion commanders led their troops to the border, Bai Feng threw this question to Cunningham.

Montgomery's performance in the Troion of the Winds was calm, and it seemed to be somewhat calmer than White Peak had expected, as were the two division commanders of the Troop of the Tempest, Caswall and Mountbatten.

In the past, the seven generals of the Tempest Thieves led by Montgomery are now only Montgomery and Carswall and Mountbatten are still holding on to the Tempest Legion;

The addition of 15,000 recruits expanded the size of the Tempest Legion from 5,000 to 20,000, and taking advantage of the expansion of the Tempest Legion, at least 300 members of the net entered the Tempest Legion openly, becoming Bai Feng's eyes and ears in the Tempest Legion.

From the leader of the Tempest Thieves to the commander of the Tempest Legion, Montgomery did every day to patrol the barracks, assign some training assignments to Wing Commander-level officers, and occasionally go to the squadron below for lunch and dinner.

According to the military system of the Celestial Dragon Empire, the squad of the smallest combat unit does not have a special man, but is equipped with a fixed reserve of dry food; under normal circumstances, the troops eat together in squadrons, and when there is no time to eat, they will eat dry food together.

Whether it's patrolling the barracks, assigning tasks to the Wing Commander, or going to the grassroots to eat, Montgomery's actions have not crossed Bai Feng's bottom line in the slightest, and he will even avoid suspicion to minimize the number of contacts with the old men of the Wind Thieves Regiment.

All kinds of seemingly normal but abnormal behaviors made Bai Feng completely unable to understand Montgomery's thoughts, so much so that he had to send a few more battlefield ghosts into the Wind Legion, and the role of these battlefield ghosts was to closely monitor Montgomery's every move!

Unlike the limited strength of ordinary members of the Net, it is difficult to form effective surveillance of Montgomery, but unlike the battlefield ghosts, who are special characters of the system, they can carry out 24-hour uninterrupted secret surveillance of Montgomery without Montgomery noticing.

With the ghosts of the battlefield coming out, Bai Feng's vigilance against Montgomery was somewhat relaxed, but passive surveillance alone could not completely eradicate Montgomery's threat, and Bai Feng felt that he had to find a way to divide and absorb the remnants of the Wind Thieves Group.

Once Montgomery loses the last 5,000 veterans of the Tempest Thieves to rely on, even if he has all kinds of ravines in his heart, I am afraid it will be difficult to stir up any storms, this is the best way to solve the Montgomery threat once and for all!
