After Esrena's analysis, although Jian Chen was not sure what the relationship between Gru and Farouk was, he also believed that the relationship between the two was definitely not ordinary.

But now Gru's actions are contrary to his perception.

"Is it because you don't want to reveal your identity, so you have to do it?" Looking at the information, Jian Chen muttered like this, his words seemed to be talking to himself, and it was as if he was asking Acerena's opinion.

"It's also possible that he has finally started to act, or maybe he has some special purpose for attacking this time! We'll see." Esreina apparently thought that Jian Chen was asking herself, and immediately said her thoughts, because she believed that Gru was behind the secret manipulation of the whole thing, she was obviously biased towards conspiracy theories, "As long as we keep an eye on his every move, I believe we will always find his flaws!" and find out what he's up to."

Unlike Acerena's confidence, Jian Chen still had quite doubts about Acerena's speculation.

So he didn't say anything about what Acereina said, and he didn't expect that Acerena's speculation, although it was not all right, was already extremely close to the truth of the matter.

A woman's intuition is sometimes crazy and terrifying.

After breakfast, Jian Chen quickly put the matter of Gru behind for the time being, no matter what, the current top priority of the alliance is not on Gru, for Jian Chen. There are many more important things to do.

And among these things, what Chen Jian is most concerned about is undoubtedly the expansion of the alliance army.

Chen Jian knows very well that in order to consolidate his dominance and make the alliance completely gain a foothold in Negan, strong force is indispensable.

Therefore, on the one hand, in order to prevent accidents, Chen Jian dismantled millions of Negan's troops from all walks of life, and on the other hand, he kept selecting elites from these surrendered troops to form a new army.

The legions he brought out from the Solo Peninsula were not broken up like before, and then used them as the backbone to form new legions, and Chen Jian chose to retain most of these powerful legions in their original formation, these legions are equivalent to his descendant troops, and the dragon king's divine power and doomsday judgment magic are an important force for him to deter some people who have hidden bad intentions.

Under such circumstances, although the formation of the new army was very smooth because of the enthusiasm of the soldiers who surrendered to the army, how to firmly control these troops was a big problem.

Jian Chen didn't want to be a strong army that he had worked so hard to cultivate, but in the end, he made a wedding dress for others, and countless lords appeared under his hands.

For this reason, after pondering and meditating, Chen Jian made a small reference to the knowledge of the earth and formulated a series of measures.

One of the most important measures is to strengthen the separation of military and political affairs.

With soldiers, money and food in his hands, no matter how loyal a person is, he is afraid that after a long time, he will have a different kind of mind, even if he himself can't, it is difficult to guarantee that the people around him will not.

Only when the military and the government are separated and the supply of the army is completely in the hands of the central authorities can the central authorities better control the armed forces.

Moreover, military interference in politics, no matter in which period, which country, which dynasty, is the way to take out chaos, and the separation of military and political affairs can prevent the emergence of warlords.

In addition to the separation of military and government, Chen Jian also enacted a number of specific measures to prevent the alliance army from being privatized by people other than himself.

First, there is a strict limit on the number of private troops that Alliance generals can have.

Only the senior generals of the alliance can have pro-guards, and the number must be regularly reported to the alliance military, and the number of pro-guards cannot exceed the specified limit, the cost and equipment of the pro-guards are completely the responsibility of the generals themselves, and the pro-guards are the generals' own private soldiers, not subordinate to the alliance military system, do not enjoy all the benefits of the alliance soldiers, cannot get promotions from the military, and even if they have military merits on the battlefield, they cannot get rewards from the alliance military.

Chen Jian hopes that through these harsh conditions, capable people will be more willing to join the alliance army, rather than become a general's private soldier, at the same time, ordinary generals cannot have private soldiers, but the number of senior generals can have private soldiers is quite limited, and it can also prevent some careerists from sitting on the throne.

The second step is to formulate a system for the rotation of officers, so that generals and officers at all levels are regularly transferred between various regiments, so as to avoid the phenomenon of cliques and factions that can easily arise when officers and soldiers spend too much time together, and also to prevent people with intentions from using emotional offensives to privatize the army.

Although there are advantages to doing this, there are also disadvantages, the most disadvantageous of which is that because the generals and soldiers are not familiar with each other, it is easy to lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the army. However, Chen Jian is not very worried about this, the combat effectiveness has declined, it is better than the army being controlled, and the current training method of the alliance army has also made the combat effectiveness of each army basically the same, the relatively efficient command system and the high quality of middle and lower-level officers, as well as the soldiers' high obedience to orders, also allows the orders given by generals with different command styles to be well executed

Chen Jian's concept of forming an army is that any army, handed over to any commander, thrown into any battlefield, and faced with any kind of combat situation, can exert its due combat effectiveness.

Secondly, Chen Jian also set up a military talisman to mobilize the army, in addition to the order, there must also be a military talisman, if you don't see the talisman, no general can not have to fight, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion, there is no military talisman, and no one has the right to mobilize any army, of course, except for Chen Jian, the president.

Another is to improve the militia system.

There are many benefits to hiding soldiers from the people, the most intuitive of which is that Chen Li saved a lot of money for raising soldiers.

In addition, by hiding troops from the people, the labor force of the people can be greatly increased in peacetime, and in wartime, depending on the situation, the people can be turned into soldiers at any time to ensure that the supply of soldiers is sufficient. And regular training will not weaken the combat effectiveness of these soldiers too much.

More importantly, the army has been streamlined, and it is naturally more efficient to manage, greatly reducing the opportunity for others to take advantage of loopholes.

It can be said that the implementation of the militia system is a one-size-fits-all for the current alliance.

At the same time, Chen Jian did not forget to strengthen the military's ideological education work, and he specially set up full-time officers in the army, such as political commissars and instructors, who were specifically responsible for ideological education work, so as to enhance his influence on the army.

Although the series of policies promoted by Chen Jian in the hardest-hit area of the lord system in Negan were supported by many people, and the ordinary people had no opinion on these policies that were beneficial and harmless to them, the process was not all smooth sailing.

Among the Negan generals and Negan lords who surrendered to the alliance, not all of them agreed with the concept of the alliance before joining the alliance, strictly speaking, among these generals, there are very few people who really agree with the concept of the alliance, and most of them are forced by the situation and have no choice but to do anything, otherwise they think that it is more promising to follow the powerful alliance.

For these people, of course, they hope that Jian Chen can divide the nobles and territories like the previous Negan royal family, in their opinion. The reason why Jian Chen didn't divide the lords in the alliance before was just because the territory was too small, and now that the alliance had unified Negan, Jian Chen really had no reason to continue the strange policy he had before.

Therefore, when Chen Jian introduced this series of policies, these people who were full of expectations were naturally disappointed, and some people even resented because of this.

"If it weren't for our efforts, would he Chen Jian be able to get Negan so easily? Now not only does he not thank us, but he wants to take away our military power, and he does not give us the fief we deserve, but only makes us hang the false name of a nobleman! This is just too much! ”

Statements like this began to spread among many of Negan's generals.

However, in response to this situation, Chen Jian also had a plan.

Because this situation is simply expected by Chen Jian, although Chen Jian has been deliberately deifying himself and engaging in a cult of personality in the alliance, he knows very well that he is not a real god, and he cannot make everyone agree with the concept of the alliance.

How to effectively suppress, divide, and win over these people. Let them finally be used for their own purposes, which has always been a matter of great concern to Jian Chen, and for this reason, he likes to plan ahead, and he has studied this matter with Morriel as early as when he was on the Solo Peninsula.

And the reason why he did not break up the legions he brought out of the Solo Peninsula was also to deal with such a situation.

Again, the power comes out of the barrel of the gun.

In this troubled era, only strong force is the foundation to save one's life.

Chen Jian used the legions he brought out from the Solo Peninsula as the backbone, plus those elite troops with high loyalty that he believed could be effectively controlled, and formed a Praetorian Guard with 200,000 people.

Chen Jian brought his old team out of the Solo Peninsula, those airborne mixed legions equipped with chariots, several cavalry legions, magician legions, as well as angel legions, holy demon legions, and dragon legions, all of which were incorporated into the Praetorian Guard system, and after the alliance's air warships began to be installed, they would also join the special air legions.

It can be said that this well-equipped, well-trained, and loyal Praetorian Guard army to Chen Jian is the most powerful military force in the alliance, and its nature is similar to that of Chen Jian's descendants, and only Chen Jian can mobilize it.

The establishment of this Praetorian Guard made many dissatisfied voices disappear without a trace.

Because immediately after the establishment of the Praetorian Guard, Chen Jian carried out a large-scale military exercise called Winter Hunting, which was actually a show of force.

A large castle known for its fortification in Negan was easily reduced to ruins in a very short period of time by the Praetorian Guard with the cooperation of Doomsday Judgment and various other magics.
