Chapter 23 Manpower
"So, Brother Wright! If you don't ask your brothers and sisters for it, I believe that some of their subordinates or descendants want to take important positions in the army. It's really not good, brother, I also have some manpower, try to open your mouth if you need to. Ron took a long sip of water and said to Wright.
"Thank you so much, Brother Ron!" Wright raised his glass of gratitude. Although the third prince is a little overweight, he treats people like a spring breeze. In the face of some ordinary nobles, there is a set of hypocrisy in the face of ordinary nobles, and in the face of Wright, he can also grasp the thoughts of strong people like Wright. Although Wright knew that the third prince would not show favor to him for no reason, and he also had his own interests, he did not hide it, but almost told Wright openly. So Wright doesn't reject him.
Soon the two became brothers, although the age of the third prince Ron is estimated to catch up with Wright's grandfather.
Seeing off the three princes, Wright began to think quietly.
He had a good conversation with the third prince, not because he didn't reject him, let alone because he wanted to get in touch with him, but the other way around. In fact, the Third Prince told him a lot about the 'Fierce Shark Legion'.
The 'Shark Legion' is one of the eight elite legions of the Puon Empire. The so-called elite legion means that there are 100,000 soldiers in the entire legion, and more than ninety percent of the main battle soldiers are third-level soldiers, including craftsmen and doctors who accompany the army, magic crystal cannons, and even in each 'brigade' establishment, there is its own team of magicians. And in the entire large army, there is a mage regiment of no less than fifty people.
The elite legion of the 'Fierce Shark Legion' is naturally not simply entrenched. The two southernmost provinces of the Puang Empire, the Ksley and the Thousand Islands, will find the invasion of the South China Sea Sea Demonic Beasts. The Thousand Islands Province is protected by the 'Duke of Mermaid Castle', and the first Duke is the Holy Magister of the water system, so he is naturally not afraid of these demonic beasts that have been driven to the shallow sea.
However, the province of Xley is not a fief of any one strong man, and the empire can only organize a legion to defend it. Fortunately, although the sea demonic beasts that invaded the coastline attacked frequently, the intensity was not too great, and the eighth- and ninth-level demonic beasts rarely appeared.
The rebellion of the Sea Monsters is only part of the duties of the 'Shark Legion', and it is the pirates who are even more difficult to deal with. These pirates wandering on the islands of the South China Sea often come ashore to rob or rob ships and cargo along the coastal routes, and the legendary 'Pirate King' is a powerful man in the Sanctuary.
Wright carefully read the dossier left by the third prince, although this kind of information is not secret, but a force like the Geer Chamber of Commerce will not be sold to the outside world.
According to the establishment of the army of the Puon Empire, the 'Flame Shark Legion' had a total of eight divisions, each of which had ten brigades. Each of the five divisions and regiments in the main battle has an establishment of 1,800 men, while the other three divisions are the reserve division, the division directly under the corps commander, and the division in charge of baggage, and the brigades of these three divisions and regiments are all composed of 1,000 people.
Of course, these 90,000 people are the establishment of regular soldiers, and the 'division commanders' and 'corps commanders' are qualified to form their own personal guards, and the elite degree of the personal guards is completely determined by these generals themselves, and the number cannot exceed a thousand, and the thousand-person empire will only pay the most basic salary, which is mainly recruited by the division commanders and corps commanders themselves!
In addition to the 'personal guards', the captains of each brigade are qualified to recruit magicians, and in the army, the auxiliary effect of magicians is very large, and each division has its own independent magician regiment! However, these mage regiments are all appointed by the empire itself to be in charge of combat support! The mages recruited by the officers themselves can only be counted according to the pro-guards.
In other words, Wright, as the commander of the 'Shark Legion', actually has only 10,000 direct subordinates, while the division commanders of the other five divisions, commonly known as 'generals', nominally have 18,000 men. However, the elite level of the 10,000 people under the commander of the regiment was the highest among the eight divisions.
And Wright wants to control the Burning Shark Legion, the biggest trouble is the generals of the five main battle divisions, generally speaking, every time the corps commander retires, he will give priority to promoting the division commander who meets the standards of the legion to manage it, and as long as there is no major problem after one or two years of escrow, the division commander who is in charge will naturally be promoted to the corps commander!
However, although the commanders of the baggage division and the reserve division have very heavy responsibilities, their actual status is a step lower, and the division commanders who generally serve as the commanders of these two divisions are often relatively low-key, and generally do not get involved in disputes between the top echelons of the corps.
And for those division commanders who originally hoped to be the commander of the corps, Wright, the airborne corps commander, must be a very hateful person, even if Wright himself is in that position.
"But the empire has also given me some official positions, and I can arrange them as my own!"
Of course, this matter was said by the third prince and Wright, after all, this kind of thing cannot be put on paper.
Nominally, Wright took office with only members of his own personal guard, staff, and magical advisors. is the captains of the divisions directly under Wright, and Wright is only qualified to transfer the internal personnel of the Fierce Shark Legion, but not qualified to send his own people to parachute!
Of course, in fact, the third prince told Wright on behalf of the royal family that one of the five master commanders retired and stepped down with the old legion commander, and the new division commander appointed by the empire took office with Wright, and Wright could be completely wooed.
In addition, in the directly subordinate division group, there are a total of 100 places, and there are almost more than 30 vacancies, and Wright can also report his name.
"If I'm really addicted to power, these things are really useful!" Wright flipped through the file, then threw it aside, "However, being the commander of the legion is just a springboard for me, I just use this identity to help me get revenge, and when my revenge is successful, I have to think of a way to simply resign from this position." ”
"No matter how complicated the relationship in the legion is, it has little to do with me, I just need to use my strength to suppress them and not hold me back. It doesn't matter what's in their hearts, what I really care about in the Legion is intelligence and finding excuses to deal with certain people in the Salom family. ”
"But even so, it's still easy to be overpowered, and I can't grasp any rights at all, so I'm afraid I won't be serious about helping me investigate things."
"Family, let's stay in the imperial capital, the imperial capital aristocratic area is still relatively safe, leave the hairball behind and be responsible for security."
"Guards? Pull those uncles of the Boulder Mercenary Group in? Forget it, it's too dangerous, if Uncle Baruch doesn't object, pull Cecilia over to help! ”
"Wizards? Why don't you look in the academy to see if there are any seniors who have graduated? Although I can't fully trust it, I always have some of my own people in the magician group! But I'm afraid I'm going to trouble Carl again! ”
"What a hassle! I really want to have an enemy poke to death with one shot, and bring so many intrigues and ghosts! ”
Despite the trouble, Wright still found Carl again and made several trips to Baruch Mansion before Uncle Baruch agreed that Cecilia would go with him to the Shark Legion.
A month later, in a convoy at the gates of the imperial capital, Wright finally set off for the Shark Legion in the province of Ksley.
There was a long convoy with him, although Wright was Cecilia in addition to himself, and the five graduating cadets who had been hired through Carl, as well as little Dia who had to follow the teacher.
But in addition to Wright's 'own people', the empire also discharged a lot of civilian officials to arrange matters, and if Wright followed the normal route, these civilian officials would also become his staff in the future.
And along with Wright, there is also Smith Joel, a bald, tall and thin eighth-level warrior, who is also Wright's future subordinate, and will take the position of division commander of the third division of the Burning Shark Legion.
However, judging from the number of personnel and the style of the entourage, the newly appointed division commander looks like a superior.
Of course, this is to exclude the purple-veined black bear that is more than ten meters tall and guards next to the Wright team, and a purple-veined black bear under his command is more magnificent than two ninth-level warriors.
As for Smith Joel, Wright always felt that he seemed to be hiding something under his respect and enthusiasm.
Just as Wright and Cecilia were in the same car, the convoy rolled off to the province of Xley.
Thousands of miles away, the headquarters of the Fierce Shark Legion, in a luxurious military tent.
A strong, bear-like man slammed a cup to the ground!
"That group of bastards in the military department actually parachuted a hairy boy to be our division commander, in their eyes, are there any of us who have worked hard to guard the sea!"
"William, where did you get so angry!" An old-looking, slow-looking man with one-rimmed glasses said in a soothing tone, "Do you have the ability to get the military headquarters to take back the order?" Besides, you don't have any self-knowledge, do you? The position of the corps commander is either strength, wisdom, or background, which one of you is involved! ”
Hearing the old man's words, the strong man named William soothed, but he was still a little unconvinced and said: "The old regimental leader and that guy Srock are gone, at least you and Big Brother Tiger are qualified to be the captains of the legion." ”
"Alright, William!" It was another man in the prime of life who said this, who did not look very strong, but his body was very strong, and a thin sword was pinned to his waist. "I've heard that this matter is a royal intervention, and that kid named Wright is a foregone conclusion that he will be the captain of the legion! Do you want to disobey? ”
Finally, the strong man named William stopped talking.
A man on the edge of the tent, the slightest inconspicuous voice, made a hoarse voice: "When the time comes, let's take a look, if you have the ability, then that's it." If you don't have the ability, just put him in the air! ”
"He can defeat the Blue Castle alone, and you haven't fought against Aya Horace! Aya died at his hands, are you as good as that old guy Aya? ”
"It's just a monster." The hoarse man said this, but did not speak again.
There was silence in the tent.
