- Alighelli Dante (Italian poet, one of the pioneers of the European Renaissance)
The reason why Bai Feng let the mercenaries of the Tasia tribe, who were the first to join the city of Rome, use gray military uniforms was out of distinction on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was to respect the habits of barbarian warriors.
The warriors of the Tasia tribe wear a gray military uniform all year round, which is also the military uniform worn by many tribal warriors on the west bank of the Cangluo River; although the existence of this gray military uniform is related to the low cost, after all, it is also a custom of other tribes for hundreds of years.
If the army of Rome City wants to adjust its military uniforms on a large scale, it is impossible for Bai Feng to make a decision by himself, and it is also necessary to consult with the commanders of each legion, especially the new mobile troops and eagle legions who have joined Rome City, their ideas are very important.
As for the Cheetah Legion and the Tiger Legion, Bai Feng didn't care very much, with the war between the city of Rome and the Aceni tribe this time, most of the soldiers in the two legions should have already returned to Rome City, even if there are still those who have not returned, there are definitely not many.
The formation of the Doge's Guard itself was a test of the warriors' willingness to submit to the arrangements of the city of Rome and to be loyal to Bai Feng himself, and the formation of the Doge's Guard proved to have gone smoothly as Bai Feng had expected.
During the day, Bazel and Gatus and Licinius were busy with the post-battle reorganization of their respective legions, and Nelson was actively retraining his elite cavalry, and even Eggers was directing his soldiers to carry food in the warehouse area.
All the legion commanders were extremely busy, and they couldn't find time to hold any meetings to discuss military uniforms, so Bai Feng, who had fully considered the generals, set the time for the meeting to be held after dinner, and at that time everyone had nothing to do.
Eggers, for his part, could also spare time, for with his 10,000 soldiers and the 200 wagons provided by the city of Rome, it was impossible to transport the food needed by 100,000 men for a month to the banks of the Cangluo River in a single day, and they had two days to keep busy.
Bai Feng, who had nothing to do in the afternoon, seized the time to cultivate for a whole afternoon, this time the battle with the Aceni tribe made Bai Feng taste the sweetness of strength, he was already eager to improve his strength, and now he was naturally even more urgent.
When night fell, Bai Feng and Yue'er, who had cultivated from the room, had dinner in the dining room with a smile, and then the two came to the conference hall on the second floor side by side, Yue'er participated in such a meeting It was normal in Rome City.
At this time, the five generals who should be present have only arrived, and the remaining three have not yet come, and there is still half an hour before the official meeting time set by Bai Feng, so everyone sits down and waits for the arrival of the three generals.
After a while, Gatus and Bazel came to the council hall together, and then Eggers, who was busy, also arrived, and when all the five generals had arrived, Bai Feng restrained the smile on his face and said to the generals present:
"All the generals are here, so let's start our meeting tonight, and the reason why you have been called here today is to discuss with you the issue of the uniforms of our army in Rome, what do you think about this?"
Since Bai Feng talked about the issue of military uniforms, then tonight's meeting actually has nothing to do with Licinius's First Legion, who made it impossible for the color of his First Legion to change the color of his uniform, after all, the army recruited by Rome City is the same as black clothes and black armor.
"Doge, I think that the uniforms of our Roman army are too disorganized, and that the army of Rome was mainly black and gray until the army of General Eggers and General Nelson joined the city.
Now with General Eggers' forthcoming Eagle Army and General Nelson's mobile unit, the uniforms used by our army in Rome City have an extra green, and such a chaotic color of military uniforms is really not conducive to the unity of our soldiers in Rome.
Therefore, I personally suggest that my Tigers, General Gattus's Cheetah Legion, General Eggers' Eagle Legion, and General Nelson's Mobile Unit all use the current uniform colors and use the new black uniforms as the standard uniforms. ā
Eggers and Nelson are both new generals to Rome, they certainly can't stand up and speak first, and Gatus is the youngest and weakest of all the generals, so he is not qualified to stand up and speak first, and the only one who can speak is Bazel.
After seeing Bai Feng's eyes turn to him, Bazel did not disappoint Bai Feng, he stood up directly, and told Bai Feng what he was thinking;
Of the five generals present, Licinius and Gatus were all diehards, Bazel made it clear again, and the remaining ones were the new Eggers and Nelson, and there is no doubt that Nelson of these two people must have obeyed Eggers.
Facing Bai Feng's inquiring eyes, Eggers groaned slightly, and then stood up and said frankly to Bai Feng:
"Governor, it is only natural that our warriors from the Ethini tribe will obey the Governor's orders unconditionally, but I am afraid that it will take me to convince these warriors to suddenly wear black uniforms that have been used for hundreds of years.
As long as the Governor is willing to give me half a month, I guarantee that after half a month my Eagle Legion and General Nelson's mobile troops will willingly put on the black uniforms of the city of Rome; ā
"Hey, what's the disobedience or disobedience, the comprehensive change of your four legions is not something that can be completed in a day or two, even if our Roman City goes all out to produce military uniforms, it will take at least about a month to make military uniforms.
Then let's settle it like this, you should first go back and announce the matter of the comprehensive change of clothes to the soldiers under your command, and persuade the soldiers who are not willing, and the official date of the change of clothes will be set on the first day of the next month, and on that day all the regiments will change their clothes at the same time. ā
"Yes!" After Bai Feng's order was issued, all the five generals present got up to answer the order, and the matter about the change of clothes of the army in Rome City was decided, and starting tomorrow, Bai Feng will let the tailors of Rome City work overtime and work hard.
In addition to the new black uniforms, the large and small flags of the Eagle Legion are also about to be made, and the flag of the Eagle Legion is naturally the same as other legions, except that in the center of the flag is a black eagle with gold edges.
As for Nelson's mobile unit, it is only a temporary unit number, and it is enough to use the black and gold-edged lion flag of the city of Rome as the flag, and there is no need to use the independent military flag at all.
