Politeness is built on a dual basis: show respect for others and don't impose your own opinions.

Hugo von Hofmannsthal (Austrian writer and poet)

In the face of Bai Feng's plan to form an army of the Wind Thieves and the intention behind this plan, Montgomery, who is loyal to Prince William, has decided to agree to Bai Feng as the commander of the Wind Bands in order to save the Wind Thieves Group he formed himself.

"General Bai Feng, I can agree to your request and persuade the other five generals to serve you, but you must agree to three conditions for me, otherwise, I would rather these five thousand soldiers be consumed by you as cannon fodder than let them become your strength!"

Montgomery, who had his own principles, put forward three conditions to Bai Feng while agreeing to Bai Feng to be the commander of the Hurricane Force; Bai Feng, who had no intention of subduing Montgomery in one fell swoop, naturally made a gesture of listening to his ears.

"General Montgomery mentions, as long as you are willing to be the commander of the new Tempest Force, let alone three conditions, even thirty conditions I will agree to you! ”

Bai Feng, who made a promise immediately, did not say too much, if Montgomery's conditions were too harsh, he would not sacrifice the interests of other parties too much for the sake of a good general.

"General Bai Feng, rest assured, the three conditions I put forward are definitely within your ability. Montgomery, who remained in a state of mental tension, never let go of his guards, and only after pretending to be calm did he formally put forward the condition:

"First, the official names of the five thousand elite soldiers of the Swift Wind Thieves under my command must be associated with the word Tempest, preferably in the name of the Tempest Legion, because only this name can keep my soldiers alive in their faith and combat effectiveness. ”

"I agree!" Bai Feng agreed without hesitation: "I will apply to the Imperial Military Department in the name of the Wind Legion, even if the Imperial Military Department gives you other names, you can still continue to use the number of the Wind Legion privately under my command." ”

"Second, after the establishment of an independent combat unit, the establishment scale and weaponry of our Hurricane Force must be the same as that of other standing regiments under your command;

"I agree!" Bai Feng, who has always adhered to the principle of fairness in governing the army, agreed again: "As soon as I return to the county town of Bronjansson, I will start arranging your troops and equipment, and after the official number of the Imperial Military Department is approved, I will replenish the Swift Legion to 20,000 troops." ”

"Third, all the generals of the former Tempest Thieves must remain in the Tempest Legion as officers of all ranks, and at the same time, you must let General Mountbatten return to the imperial capital;

"Duke Cullen's favorite second grandson, Prince William's closest cousin, such a character will attract the attention of countless people wherever it is placed. Bai Feng, who knew Mountbatten's identity very well, smiled and agreed: "I still agree to this last one!"

After the three conditions he proposed were accepted by Bai Feng, Montgomery no longer hesitated, but stood up and saluted Bai Feng solemnly: "The last general, Montgomery, have seen the general!"

"Haha! General Montgomery, please get up!" Bai Feng, who was overjoyed, quickly got up from his seat and personally helped Montgomery, who bent down to salute him.

Even though Bai Feng knew in his heart that Montgomery's surrender was only a temporary helpless move, he was still happy that he had brought a general under his command, and in his opinion, as long as Montgomery was under his command, he would eventually become his own person!

Of course, Montgomery is not the only one who has good strength and ability in the Wind Thieves Regiment, except for the young and inexperienced Mountbatten, the performance of Auchinleck and other generals of the Wind Thieves Group has also made Bai Feng love talents.

At this time, Bai Feng didn't know that the five generals of the Wind Thieves Regiment were actually capable talents carefully selected by Duke Cullen from the Imperial Army, and their abilities were definitely only stronger than the active army commanders of the Empire.

Bai Feng's Fourth Route Army seemed to be strong and strong, but in fact it seriously lacked experienced and capable generals at all levels; regardless of the corps commanders of various armies for the time being, almost all of the division commanders below the corps commander who commanded the 10,000-strong army were all cutting-edge generals who were rapidly promoted to the top positions.

Among these newly appointed young generals, there are very few who have actually been in the army for several years, and most of them have been quickly promoted within half a year of joining the army; in all fairness, the veterans of the Wind Thieves Regiment can indeed greatly improve the current situation of the lack of generals under Bai Feng's command.

As for Montgomery's request to keep these Tempest Generals in the Tempest Legion, it was nothing to Bai Feng, because until these Tempest generals were drawn into his camp, Bai Feng would continue to reuse those generals who were loyal to him.

After spending a pleasant night in the Brushing Wind Base, the next morning, Bai Feng led the army back to Bronjansson County, while the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Yulin Legion were left by Bai Feng at the Blast Base to temporarily serve as a garrison for the Blast Wind Base.

More than 300,000 people dragged their families and mouths, so that Bai Feng's army could only advance at a slow pace, and after five full days, Bai Feng's army, with 17,000 new soldiers, returned to the county town of Broyangsong.

Of the 30,000 soldiers of the new army who surrendered first, only 12,000 were left behind after strict selection, and 4,000 of the 8,000 soldiers under Luke Jr. passed the selection, the highest proportion of the seven surrendered armies.

Because the other four Eastern Legions all had only 8,000 soldiers, Little Luke's Fifth Eastern Legion only had 8,000 soldiers, and the extra 4,000 soldiers, Bai Feng planned to incorporate them into the soon-to-be-formed Tempest Legion to expand the establishment of the Tempest Legion.

As early as the day he left the Storm Base, Bai Feng's report on applying for the number of the Storm Legion for the Wind Thieves Regiment had been sent to the Imperial Military Headquarters as soon as possible, and at this time, it was extremely necessary to prepare additional troops for the Storm Legion that was about to be formally formed.

What Bai Feng didn't expect was that after returning to Brocksson, he had just proposed this idea to Montgomery, but Montgomery was strongly opposed, on the grounds that the contradictions between the elite soldiers of the Wind Thieves and the soldiers of the New Army were too deep to be integrated.

As Bai Feng, who personally ordered the net to provoke chaos in the Tempest base, he was naturally clear about the contradictions between the old and new armies of the Tempest Thieves, but he had been too busy to ignore this before, but now that Montgomery reminded him, he dispelled this thought.

As a result, of the 4,000 soldiers from the new army of the Wind Thieves, 2,000 were scattered and distributed to the Fire Legion, which suffered slight casualties, and 2,000 were added to the First Eastern Legion of Aetius;

In this way, the 15,000 recruits needed by the Tempest Legion needed to be recruited in the recovered provinces of Brojansson and Toulon, which happened to have many young men and women who were actively joining the army, and Bai Feng's conscription benefits were enough to meet the requirements of the young men.

Just as a new wave of conscription was blowing in the provinces of Brojansson and Toulon, the imperial capital, which was becoming more and more stable, was once again in chaos, and the source of the confusion was Bai Feng's report on the official name of the Tempest Legion.
