(People in the field, the update may be a little unstable, depending on the degree of the Internet café, I need a ticket, cry)

For Ye Kai, the morning is short, and he can easily spend it while reading the "Imperial Army Daily", but for the exhausted Praetorian Guards, this short night and a morning's rest are simply as expensive as gold, and the viscous can be comparable to the boring ideological and political class.

Despite the heavy heart, but under the invasion of wave after wave of fatigue, Sun Chuanfang still fell asleep in the second half of the night, and did not wake up suddenly until more than nine o'clock in the morning, dreamless all night, several years of military career, such a long sleep time is unique, so when he saw the Roma 9 in the watch, even he couldn't believe it, it can be seen how tense he was before, struggling to sit up from the bed, Sun Chuanfang didn't do anything, but repeated it over and over again in his mind, The scene that happened on the exercise ground a few hours ago, down to a certain detail, he did not miss every decision, and then he slowly sighed and walked out of bed weakly, on the surface, he was not flustered at all, and he looked at the victory and defeat lightly, which was absolutely fake.

The same situation also appeared on the commander of the other side, the difference is that Yang Yuting was lying in bed peacefully after writing the war log, and his state of mind was more peaceful and smooth than the former, because not long ago he got the news from his superiors that the losses of the blue side in this exercise were smaller than those of the red side, and they also achieved a certain advantage in tactics, and from the purely literal data, the victory seemed to be more inclined to them.

Despite this, Yang Yuting still did not fall asleep immediately, closed his eyes and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, but compared to Sun Chuanfang's indecision, his tossing and turning had some regretful taste in it, and he firmly believed that as long as he was given enough time, even if it was only one hour, when the will of the besieged Red Army troops collapsed and lost their ability to resist, or they were simply annihilated, this victory would be more obvious.

Yang Yuting thought so, and before falling asleep, he was satisfied and happy that his thoughts should not be too far from the supreme commander who controlled everything.

The thoughts of the superiors also seem to affect the ordinary soldiers at the bottom, of course, they are not as deep as the commanders think, the thinking of the big people is completely different from them, no matter which side has the advantage, the soldiers on both sides of the red and blue sides are emaciated by the torture of this devilish training, so, after experiencing this kind of training baptism, will they still see the specific victory and defeat so deeply?

Therefore, at noon the next day, when the lunch time came, the soldiers in the restaurant sat together in groups of three or five, chatting with each other, their faces were slightly relaxed, and the topic was naturally inseparable from the experience of this exercise, of course, one of the most important discussion points was the upcoming reward and punishment conference, as the last link of this mid-term assessment, it was the touchstone of all achievements, and the soldiers were naturally full of expectations.

The reason why this reward and punishment conference is hot is that there is another reason that cannot be sudden, the high-level people have released the wind earlier, in this conference, in addition to announcing the winning red and blue sides, military merit medals will also be awarded to the winning troops and individuals with outstanding performance, so before it has started, this conference has changed to a more direct name in the mouths of ordinary soldiers, the award conference.

As soon as I heard the word award, I believe that no one will sit on the bench safely, the reason why the award has such a great momentum is due to the fact that at the beginning of the establishment of the Praetorian Guard, Ye Kai proposed the military rank system, and the promotion of soldiers should be linked to military merit, which is simple and unique.

This concept of military hierarchy originated from the West, which was the first time in China at that time, and it was even more new to most people, although it was unfamiliar, but when the military rank system was issued to each battalion of the Praetorian Guard along with the training regulations, this set of rules was instantly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The corrupt hierarchical view of the old army does not work at all here, and status, status, treatment, all this depends only on the only symbol of military honor.

Military rank!

Most of the people in the Praetorian Guard are peasant children or intellectuals with some culture, such as Xiucai Juren, etc., both Manchu and Han, the abolition of the imperial examination system in 1904 made many of them lose the way to climb upward, and in the same year the introduction of the policy of changing the flag nationality was a heavy blow to the Manchus, the gradual disintegration of the Eight Banners system means that they no longer enjoy certain privileges, and the distorted aristocratic mentality cultivated by hundreds of years of hard work once ceased to exist, and they lived without a skill and even ordinary Han peopleFor a while, there were countless people begging in the imperial city, and the same rotten smokers looked extremely miserable.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand why when the Qing Dynasty fell, most of the Manchus were indifferent, and the Janissaries, which were dominated by Manchus in history, simply fell to the government of the Republic of China.

Therefore, the military rank system proposed by Ye Kai has undoubtedly re-pointed out a direction for all depressed people, in addition to the imperial examination and background, there is also a new channel for their promotion, officers, officers under the military rank system.

is completely different from the old military system, Ye Kai's ideal military rank system has two most basic starting points, first, officers can only come from soldiers, and second, military ranks only come from military merits.

It's easy to say, but the actual implementation is even more difficult, the generation of new things will inevitably touch the cake of vested interests, and has been obstructed, but in any case, Ye Kai wants to use an iron fist to implement this system little by little, and the Praetorian Guard is bound to become the **** of the new military system, which is the fundamental guarantee for the quality and specialization of the army.

Soldiers can only be pure soldiers, and it is their duty to cope with war.

Therefore, under the influence of the military rank system ideology, the Praetorian Guards are all vying for military merit, and the most basic embodiment of military merit is the military merit medal, this actual combat exercise is a rare opportunity, of course, this has a lot to do with whether the exercise wins or not, if you are the party that loses the exercise, although the probability of winning the medal is not nothing, but the probability is always smaller.

Who is the winner of the exercise, the red and blue sides have their own opinions, and the more unclear the relationship between the winner and the loser, the more money to talk about, but for Ye Kai, who single-handedly led this live exercise, the winner and loser are already in his heart, or more clearly, in the list of awards in his hand.

At 2:20 p.m., the parade field, the flag fluttered, the rain stopped last night, and the weather was surprisingly good.

All 12,583 Praetorian Guard soldiers were present, with full faces and blazing eyes, and they stood there with the feeling of standing tall, as if tens of thousands of javelins were neatly inserted there.

A series of external changes show that they are no longer fledgling recruits, but a soldier with honor and mission, which is a subtle but actual metamorphosis.

"Soldiers!"

At the beginning of the conference, Ye Fa spoke, looking at the neat team, he said the first sentence.

"The exercise can be over, but since it is a live exercise, red and blue will face each other, so it is natural to distinguish the winner and loser."
