284 military police, gendarmerie

There are many officers in the new-style army who have graduated directly from military academies, and they are all in the most basic positions, and at the same time, they are also subject to the competition between the branches of the military and the arms of the new-style military academy. And even more so with the cavalry units, at the time of the reorganization, the contradictions between the two sides had already begun.

The musketeers ridiculed the cavalry as a live target for the musketeers, as they were armed with powerful muskets and even more powerful flowering shells. This was extremely lethal to the cavalry. Because the musketeers tended to look down on the cavalry.

And the cavalry is proud of its maneuvering speed, as well as its characteristic impact power. It has always been considered a powerful weapon to break through the infantry phalanx. This is how the contradictions between the two sides motivate and stimulate each other.

And now. The artillery blocked the road at once. The artillery has always wanted to be independent. However, his characteristics seem to be very ambiguous between the two classes. Artillery required a large number of chariots and horses to pull the bulky artillery, and the cavalry considered the chariots and horses to be separated from the cavalry, and they were themselves equipped with independent horse artillery units. Therefore, it has always been believed that artillery is a cavalry unit, while musketeers, on the other hand, are nothing more than a group of musketeers with larger barrels. Moreover, they have been providing strong fire support to the musketeers. Therefore, it is taken for granted that artillery is an extension of musketeers. Artillery should be in their own hands.

And the artillery is caught between the two and wants to be independent all the time.

Contradictions erupted at this extraordinary moment. The cavalry believed that it was the musketeers who did not let the artillery be placed further away and deliberately repelled it. The cavalryman, who considered himself the protector of the artillery, immediately shouted at the musketeers, who were worried that they had nothing to eat. At this time, there are still eyes to send forward.

The rebuke turned into a verbal argument between the two arms, and then I didn't know who made the first move, and the situation was very chaotic anyway. The cavalry was dismounted, and the cavalryman who did not dismount waved his whip in his hand. The two sides soon fought.

And Shang Wen was explaining another very strange military branch to Wang Qian. Army police, gendarmerie.

At present, most countries in the world have regular standing arms in their armies. It is mainly responsible for maintaining military discipline, ensuring the implementation of military orders, and organizing military courts. It is a police officer in the army worthy of the name.

"The army should set up a military police." Shang Wen said.

"Gendarme?" Wang Jian asked.

"Yes, the army and police." Shangwen explained.

"Police?" Wang Jian asked. Shang Wen realized this. Own gaffes. The word police was a servant in ancient times. Headcatcher.

"It's the army's servants, headhunters." Shangwen explained.

"So I understand." Wang Jian replied.

"They are responsible for maintaining discipline in the army, ensuring the execution of army orders, and organizing military tribunals. Sometimes, it is also necessary to maintain the smooth flow of military traffic. If necessary, they also have to deal with some military spies. Shang Wen said.

"They're pretty extensive." Wang Jian said.

"So they don't get involved in military operations." Shang Wen said.

"What, if you don't participate in military operations, what kind of soldier is that?" Wang Jian said a little unevenly.

"Gendarmerie." Shang Wen said.

"The division of labor in the army is different. That's why the army can function normally. The gendarmerie is the lubricant that controls the normal operation of this army, the army is a violent institution, no one is afraid of anyone, and there is no branch of the army to control it. The army will be in disarray. The emphasis in the military is on discipline. For this, discipline needs to be maintained. The gendarmerie is a tool for maintenance, a branch of the army. Shang Wen explained.

"Well, it seems that these 200,000 people have to set up a special army." Wang Jian said.

"I'll look at the general's guards, and then give them a white armband. It is enough to write the word gendarmerie on it. Then harsh military law was enacted. That's it. Shang Wen said.

"Well, I think I can give it a try." Wang Jian said.

"Report, General." A guard hurried in. looked at Shang Wen and hesitated.

"Tell me something." Wang Jian scolded.

"There was a beating between the 1st Musketeer Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade." The guard said. Blame had to say it to himself. It turned out that this was a scandal within the army. Such a beating incident, after all, is a military affair, let the civilian officials see it. Of course, it is not good for the military.

"Alas. Mr. Qin smiled. Wang Jian turned his head and clenched his fists and said.

"I'm half a soldier too." Shang Wen said.

"It seems that this gendarmerie must be established." Wang Jian said.

"Let's go, let's take a look." So saying, he got up to leave. Shang Wen followed.

The group rushed to the scene of the incident. Fortunately, both sides took action, but there were no casualties, all of them were some skin injuries. As a punishment, it is inevitable to be beaten with a stick. However, Shang Wen immediately stopped General Wang Qian. Shang Wen's explanation is that such a harsh military punishment. Somewhat inhumane. But Wang Jian already thinks that this is very sparse and ordinary. But Shang Wen tried to persuade that such punishment was not enlightened enough, and that it was a new type of army and that new methods should be adopted.

Closed. Close tightly. That's all there is to it. Shang Wen said. Wang Jian had no choice but to implement the punishment of the first time, the Qin army's confinement. The Qin army expressed understanding for such an easy punishment. Because, the stick can make people unable to get up in pain. But who knows that confinement is a punishment for the psychology of soldiers. Psychological punishment is better than physical punishment of that humanity. Who knows.

Shang Wen can't control these anymore. However, Shang Wen is checking some of the situation on the ground. That is, the large-scale passage of the army without any road hardening measures is obviously unable to support such a large-scale passage of the army at one time. In particular, the artillery units of the Qin army. Increase in weight-bearing. The requirements for artillery are higher, especially for those four-wheeled carriages, which are more demanding on the road surface.

"General Wang, why didn't anyone arrange for them to go by water. As a result, the pressure on land transportation is simply too great. Shangwen proposed.

"Arranging boarding is extremely cumbersome. Mobilizing ships is a hassle. Wang Jian replied.

Shang Wen nodded. The development of transportation is not just a one-legged walk. The more you have to choose when you go hand in hand. The more room for manoeuvre, the wider. Moreover, the development of the Qin army is not just the army. The development of the Navy is also imminent. In fact, this exercise is also an opportunity for the Navy. Although river transport is limited. The draft is shallow. But troop transportation should not be a problem. These are the foundations. Long-term training is also good for the military. Thinking of this, Shang Wen proposed to Wang Jian that he boldly use the navy to help the army transport, and the Qin army could not walk on one leg. The opportunities are equal. Whether the navy can develop or not, let the navy take out its hands and see.

Wang Jian nodded.
