Chapter 171: On Soldiers

In Chu Tian's opinion, although he didn't know how powerful the army of the other country was, if the country of the ancestors wanted to defeat the other country of several countries around the sonic boom with the army in front of him, it was obviously unrealistic, so if he wanted to enhance the strength of the army in front of him, it was imperative to reform the system!

If the army is not reformed, then Chu Tian would rather believe that the sow will go up to the tree, and he will not believe that he can defeat the other country by relying on such an army alone, like that...... It's a little too unrealistic......

In order to show his Corporal Lixian's mind, Chu Tian thought for a while, then he clasped his fists and said: "All the soldiers are warriors of my ancestral country, and they all need the strength of you to defend the country and expand the territory - in the past, it was the authorities who ignored you, but now, I want to do my best to start armaments, and I hope you will encourage me!" ”

As he spoke, Chu Tian went straight to the nine hundred soldiers present and gave a fist salute.

Immediately, the audience fell silent, and the stagnant atmosphere made Chu Tian very nervous and puzzled—could it be...... Is there something wrong with what he's doing?

Immediately, he understood that he was worried in vain, because, after a long period of silence, what responded to Chu Tian was a burst of uncontrollable whimpering with excitement.

Chu Tian raised his head, and he was a little stunned to find that the nine hundred soldiers in front of him were all like children, tears flowing straight down, if it weren't for their deliberate control, Chu Tian absolutely believed that they could cry out loud.

Chu Tian thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood-in his own opinion, his actions were nothing, but for ordinary soldiers in this period, how could he, an "immortal"-like existence, actually say such things to these bitter and hard-headed soldiers, how could they not be so excited that they couldn't wait to be driven?

Although, during this period of time, he, the "immortal", often appears wandering among the mountains and fields, but like now, it is the first time that he has said such things to them "from the heart and lungs".

After the minds of the nine hundred sergeants calmed down a little, Chu Tian spoke again: "First of all, if you want to develop armaments, you must first let your family have no worries, so I have decided that all the soldiers and soldiers here will greatly improve the corresponding grade and grade according to your own performance every month in the future!" ”

If there were a large number of sergeants, Chu Tian would not say this, after all, if he did that, the manpower and material resources required would be too amazing, and even if he did that, he would not be able to cover everything, and it was very likely that there would be some bad consequences because of this.

But now, the number of people is only nine hundred, Chu Tian said that he is still capable of this "immortal", if he can't do it well, then he still doesn't think about developing armaments, just honestly wait for the country of his ancestors to be beaten by his country, or simply use his strength that can crush the entire world to force the other country?

It's a pity that whether it is waiting to be beaten or forced like a hooligan, it is not Chu Tian's wish!

Chu Tian is now determined to train the army in front of him, and no one can stop his enthusiasm!

It's just that Chu Tian's enthusiasm is there, but the cultural literacy of the army in front of him cannot be compared with Chu Tian, and they don't know what to say about the "grade and grade" that popped out of Chu Tian's mouth, so everyone had to look at each other, looking like they didn't understand anything and didn't dare to ask anything.

Fortunately, their ignorance did not last long, and soon, Chu Tian began to explain the matter in detail in the following time:

"In the coming period, I will classify your performance as 'up', 'medium', ' The lower 'three grades, the upper one, for the elite troops, the monthly money is increased by three taels on the original basis, and the number of people is still maintained at 100 people; the middle one, for the ordinary troops, the monthly money is increased by two taels on the original basis, and the number of people remains at 200; the lower one, for the miscellaneous army, the monthly money is increased by one tael on the original basis, and the number of people is maintained at 400; the remaining 200 people, I am very sorry, because of your incompetent performance, I have to ask you to leave the army and become an ordinary citizen of the ancestral country! ”

"But rest assured, even if you leave the barracks, I will give three months' salary to those who have departed—this ...... It's the last thing I can do for you, so I hope you can do your best, and when you're ugly, you'll start the selection tomorrow! After a deep sigh, Chu Tian continued.

As he spoke, Chu Tian once again hugged his fists to everyone present, and directly ended this "speech".

After Chu Tian walked into the barracks tent, the short and fat official who had been following Chu Tian was a little panicked - he originally thought that Chu Tian just wanted to experience the feeling of military training, plus he really needed the support of Chu Tian, an "immortal", so he would open the door to convenience, but now looking at Chu Tian's appearance, it is obvious that he does not just want to have a good time, he obviously wants to carry out an overall reform of this army!

So, the short and fat official, who had been entangled in his heart and hesitated for a long time, finally spoke directly to comfort Chu Tiandao with panic and anxiety: "Immortals, at this critical moment, a soldier is a force, what we should start now should be a large-scale conscription, so as not to have no soldiers to stop us after the army of the other country invades our country, now, not only do you not go to the country to recruit soldiers, but you are also preparing to dismiss two hundred soldiers, what is the reason?" ”

"Soldiers are more valuable than many - I looked at those soldiers before, except for the hundred people who are known as the elite who can fight a little, the rest of the soldiers, except for a few people, the others have no strength at all, you know, the army of the other country, but the army of the other country has been provoking various countries under various pretexts all the year round and using this to launch wars, do you think that with our current army, the army that is not comparable to the other side in number and is also greatly insufficient in combat power, can defeat the other country?"

Chu Tian asked the officer rhetorically, and then, without waiting for the other party to answer, he directly opened his mouth to give him affirmation,

"Such an army will definitely not be able to defeat those tiger and wolf divisions in the other country, so now, I can only take this opportunity to squeeze their potential, so that they can grow up quickly, as long as their combat power is improved, they will not have the power to fight!"

The short and fat official stood in place in a daze, and for a while, he didn't come back to his senses - he never thought that the "immortal" who seemed to be a good man on weekdays and didn't seem to have any merit except for his strength would have such insight in the "way of soldiers"?

Such a thing was something that this short and fat official had never thought of before!

"However, even so, I think that in order to prevent the other country from attacking our country, a large-scale conscription is still necessary, so that when they come on a large scale, our country will not be able to resist it." The short and fat official explained his views to Chu Tian.

"I also understand what you said about conscription, but it is not yet time, if there is a large-scale conscription at this time, it will only cause further panic among the people, and the autumn harvest is imminent - the so-called 'soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first', it really should not delay the autumn harvest at this time!"

For the conscription, Chu Tian was a little moved, but after considering the small widows of the ancestral country, Chu Tian still suppressed such an impulse, after all, through the consideration of the ancestral country during this time, Chu Tian had already deeply and clearly realized that the surplus grain in the treasury of the ancestral country was not sufficient, if the autumn harvest was delayed because of this, then all the young and strong troops who had gathered the ancestral country might not wait for the other country to call, and they would take the first step to "devour" the grain in the treasury!

As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and when there is no food in the granary, these hungry soldiers will definitely make a big mess, and at that time, there will be no need for the country of the other to attack the country of the ancestors, these hungry and dizzy soldiers of the country of the ancestors will definitely take the country of the ancestors one step ahead of the country of the other!

For Chu Tian's words, many of them were not well understood by this short and fat official, but even so, it still gave him a feeling of uncertainty, and at the moment, this short and fat official already agreed with Chu Tian's words in his heart.

However, even if he already had some recognition in his heart, he still felt that the "immortal" in front of him was still very congested in terms of "handling" some things, and he wanted to ask it, but he felt that he had already contradicted the "immortal" today, and if he put forward his own opinions again, he was afraid that he would anger the "immortal".

Just when the short and fat official hesitated, Chu Tian, who saw that his expression was a little wrong, asked in some surprise: "What do you have but it doesn't matter, at this time of crisis, we should work together, and it is necessary to avoid and conceal each other!" ”

"'Immortal' I think it's very reasonable that the soldiers you said are not too expensive, but even if you want elite soldiers, you can train them a lot on weekdays, even if you don't recruit soldiers from the people, you shouldn't cut the soldiers, right? And more importantly, the soldiers of all ranks have even increased their monthly money, which is ...... But a large amount of investment, how to get it in the long run? ”

The short and fat official looked at Chu Tian very painfully and howled,

"In addition, the 'immortal' you are going to dismiss the two hundred soldiers, and you actually promised them that even if they are abolished, they will be given three months' monthly money, which is completely unnecessary, after all, the monthly money of two hundred soldiers for three months is a big expense, and this expenditure is completely meaningless!"

"The purpose of dismantling the soldiers is to stimulate their sense of competition as much as possible, and only with competition can they make great progress and improvement. If you don't give them some sweetness, it will really be a little too much, and if you make them resentful because of this, it will outweigh the losses. ”

Chu Tian looked at the short and fat official, and explained his doubts in detail,

"As for the three months' money for the people who were dismissed - they who have lost their military positions must be very sad in their hearts, and giving them three months' funds can be regarded as appeasing them, lest they will not look good on everyone's face after they are about to make trouble, and if there are resentful people who take the opportunity to make trouble, it will be even more troublesome, and I don't want to go first to quell the domestic turmoil at this time of anxiety, it will not be a blessing for us and others."

"That'...... What if they take the money and still take the opportunity to make trouble? After hearing Chu Tian's words, the short and fat official immediately became anxious, but at the moment, he felt that the sergeants should not be dismissed.

"Rest assured, after they take the money, some people who are safe and responsible will not be bent on making trouble, even if there are still people in it who are unwilling and want to take this opportunity to make some moths out, I'm afraid they won't be able to connect a few people, when the time comes, just use the blood of these people to train my newly trained soldiers, and it's okay, when the time comes, when facing the army of the other country, those rookies who have not been on the battlefield are tied, it's not beautiful!" Chu Tian said indifferently, his words revealing endless blood intent.

Looking at Chu Tian, who said such a thing with a calm face, the short and fat official's heart trembled, this ...... Is it still the "immortal" I "know" in my daily life?

It's just that no matter how cranky and concerned the Humpty officials are, in line with the attitude of being responsible for the country, Humpty Dumpty officials still ask the most important question at the moment: "That...... In terms of the sergeant's salary, how can the treasury support it? ”

"Don't worry, I've calculated carefully, everything is under control!" Chu Tian said with certainty.

"That's good! That's good! That...... I'll quit first! Then, after bowing and giving a salute, the short and fat official walked out of the big tent where Chu Tian was.

……

……

"Whew-"

Looking at the short and fat official who had already walked out of the big tent, Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief with some embarrassment-it's okay! OK! Until the last moment, he didn't show his timidity, everything was developing according to his original plan, which was perfect!

Although Chu Tian was just an ordinary college student in his original world, even if he had traveled through several worlds, he had been living in the midst of fighting and killing, so for things like military training, he only stayed in the realm of "strong mouth", and when it came to practical operations...... There really doesn't seem to be any "dry goods" in the belly that can be shaken out to show off one or two!

Of course, even so, Chu Tian still understands the principle of "grace and power" to some extent, but when he knows it, he knows it, but when it is implemented, Chu Tian still finds that this matter is a little tricky, and it just so happens that this short and fat official wants to explain his military concept to him, an "immortal", so Chu Tian took advantage of the situation, and this led to the previous scene.

Because Chutian's "immortal" gives everyone the impression of being "gentle", but this is what he deliberately "put out" for others to see, in order to let these simple villagers of the ancestral country recognize the existence of his "immortal" from the bottom of their hearts, but if it is just a gentle one, it will always make people contempt in some things, after all, people are a kind of creatures who like to inch inch, so in the previous conversation with the short and fat official, he appropriately revealed a trace of cold-bloodedness, Let them know that they are not as soft as they appear to be.

Of course, in the previous conversation with the short and fat official, some of Chu Tian's words were also a little untrue - for example, the so-called words that the silver is within a controllable range are Chu Tian's deliberate words to him, in fact, according to Chu Tian's understanding of the treasury of the ancestral country, where can the current treasury of the treasury withstand his "big stroke"?

As Humpty Dumpty said before, the expenditure is too huge, how can a country with small and widowed people like the country of ancestors withstand such expenses as Chutian?

However, even so, Chu Tian still thought that such an action was very necessary—if he didn't feed these sergeants, how long would he be able to maintain the morale of the army with his previous contrived performance?

Although the people will become slaves of other countries after the collapse of the country, relatively speaking, the sergeants will receive certain preferential treatment - what is the most honorable in the "troubled times"? Of course, these soldiers who dare to fight and have already seen blood!

Moreover, in Chu Tian's selfish heart, he does not need to maintain this "military expenditure" for a long time, after all, because of his prophetic foresight, Chu Tian knows that the future of the war between the country of the ancestors and the country of the other is not far away, as long as it is at that time, if he wins, he can loot from the palace treasury of the country of the other country as military funds, as for the defeat...... If you lose yourself, you will play a scoundrel, and directly push the other country with your strong strength, which one dares to speak and chew the root of your tongue?

In the middle of the night, Xiao Fan and the short and fat official were already secretly waiting at the soldiers' assembly place - although the time he had set with many soldiers was ugly, but in order to really examine the discipline of these soldiers, he still felt that it was best for him to come over and see it earlier.

The result was unexpectedly good, because at this time, far from the time when it had reached the ugly time, the soldiers had already gathered three hundred, and more importantly, the one hundred elite divisions that Xiao Fan relied on were even more high-spirited in front of everyone, one hundred, not one less.

For such a hundred divisions, Xiao Fan had already regarded them as his hope of "overturning" the army of his country in his heart, and now, when he saw the "execution" of these people again, he felt that he should firmly "master" these elite and loyal warriors!
