Chapter 541: The Power of Role Model The Military Rank System
Although it is just an undefended castle, although many people think that Chen Jian has used such manpower and material resources so much, and even destroyed a good castle that could have been fully utilized, just to show off his strength is a bit silly, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what Chen Jian's purpose is in doing this.
There is no such concept of military exercise in the world of the Erathia continent at present, but this does not prevent the effect of Chen Jian's military exercise, the sophisticated equipment, military literacy, and advanced technology displayed by the Praetorian Guards in this hunt have made many people who hide such and such thoughts tremble.
Not only that, but through this hunting, many people also remembered that Chen Jian also held a big killing weapon like the suspected Doomsday Blade in his hand.
After the surrender of Jedt, the situation of the Alliance in Negan was very good, and the Doomsday Judgment magic was almost not used, which made many people begin to forget a little about the fact that the Alliance Army can use the Doomsday Judgment magic to hurt the enemy but not themselves.
In this way, Jian Chen reminded such half-hearted guys not to be delusional.
It is worth mentioning that when everyone thought that Chen Jian would take the position of the supreme commander of the Praetorian Guard for himself, or hand it over to Moryl, the dragon queen who is amazingly capable and his fiancée, Chen Jian was unexpected, and promoted Jedette, one of the four former Negan lords who had been relatively low-key since his surrender, to this position.
When the news broke, the whole Negan was in an uproar.
Not to mention those demoted generals, even among Jian Chen's old team, there are many people who are puzzled by this.
Everyone doesn't understand, Jedette is capable, but Chen Jian's men are not unavailable, in addition to Moryl, Christine and his group, all of them are former famous generals of the Erathian Empire, and their abilities are outstanding, Pete and Orison are descendants of generals who followed Jian Chen during the Hammondale period After growing up after a series of wars, they also have enough ability and qualifications to take on this position, but why did Jian Chen leave them alone, but use Jedert?
Anyway, Jedette is just a guy who surrendered, although the timing of his surrender and his identity make him so different, but this still can't change the fact that he is just a general, and the time for his surrender is actually very short, how dare Chen Jian use him to take on such an important position?
Of course, these are just the opinions of ordinary people, in the eyes of those who have a certain political mind, Chen Jian's approach is a wonderful trick that could not be more wonderful, and they secretly applauded the full text of the Nine Stars Tianchen Jue.
The Praetorian Guard's loyalty to Chen Jian is absolutely unquestionable, those fanatical soldiers, almost all have a blind admiration for Chen Jian, those soldiers who have followed Chen Jian all the way from Hammondale and from the Evermont Islands to the present are Chen Jian's diehards, such an army, no matter how the commander changes, who is in charge, Chen Jian's control over it will not be weakened.
In this case, although the supreme commander of this Praetorian Guard has a respected status, his actual power is not high, and the management role he plays in this army is far greater than the role of commander, even if he has any strange thoughts, the Praetorian Guard will definitely not obey his orders and do anything that may be unfavorable to Chen Jian.
Such a position is simply too suitable to buy people's hearts.
And Jedette, because of his former status as the Great Lord of Negan, and the huge influence that his just right surrender time brought to the situation of Negan later, made him a well-deserved number one person among the surrendered Negan generals and Negan Lords, even if he later killed Ajette in the Negan underground and responded to the Alliance, and finally let the Alliance pacify the underground world without much effort, there is no way to compete with him, because Manerla will have such a move, It was also largely influenced by the surrender of Jedt.
Therefore, Jedette's status in the alliance is now quite transcendent, and he has many privileges that other generals cannot have, and Chen Jian treats him very seriously.
Now Jian Chen has promoted Jedette to the position of the supreme commander of the Praetorian Guard, in order to set an example and further show the generals that he will never treat meritorious people badly.
As a former Negan lord, Jade certainly has considerable attainments in politics, and of course he also understands why he was suddenly placed in this nominal high position by Chen Jian, but he did not complain, but was still complacent.
That's the Supreme Commander of the Praetorian Guard, what is the Praetorian Guard? It is the most capable army under Jian Chen! With the best equipment and the best training in the whole alliance, as the commander of this army, you can get access to the most advanced magic and mechanical technology of the alliance, and you can get access to the core secrets of the alliance army!
This means that the person who holds this position is equivalent to entering the core leadership of the alliance, and entering the core leadership of the alliance means that he will definitely be reused by Chen Jian in the future!
During this time, the more Jade knew about the alliance, the more he was glad that he had made a wise decision to surrender, he knew that according to Chen Jian's layout, the alliance would not stop at unifying Negan and be complacent, and when the time was ripe, the stage of the alliance would become broader, and he, the supreme commander of the Praetorian Guard, would not continue to be in power, this was just a transition, and with the development of the alliance, he would also be reused.
Although Jedt surrendered to the alliance, although it was more because of his helplessness after seeing the situation clearly, since he gave up everything in the past and resolutely joined the alliance, he would not let himself be willing to sink.
He thinks that if he can't mix in the alliance than he used to be a great lord of Negan, if he can't make a name in the alliance and go down in history for a hundred generations, then his surrender will be too meaningless, he is not a person who will bow his knees and surrender just to save his life.
Therefore, Jade was very knowledgeable and high-profile to cooperate with Chen Jian's actions, and even took the initiative to do some things he thought Chen Jian wanted to do, such as cutting off his own private army - before Chen Jian had specially allowed him to have a personal guard, but now, Jade Ted has given up this peerless private armed Tang Sect that is obviously beyond Chen Jian's new policy.
These things that happened to Jade had a great impact on the generals, and many people changed their minds because of this, after all, even people like Jade who they could only look up to in the past, and who had made great contributions to the Alliance, had no opinion on the Alliance's new policy, what else could they say? Their little credit, compared to Jedter, is really too insignificant.
At this time, Chen Jian announced a new policy on the rank and treatment of military personnel in the alliance.
Chen Jian began to implement the military rank system in the alliance army, dividing the alliance soldiers into six ranks: marshal, general, colonel, lieutenant, sergeant, and soldier, and then subdivided into 17 levels, which are divided into marshals, generals, lieutenant generals, major generals, brigadier generals, colonels, lieutenant colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants, warrant officers, sergeants, sergeants, corporals, senior privates, inferior soldiers, and privates, and formulated a complete set of assessment and promotion methods, and also promulgated the corresponding welfare standards for each level.
The reason why Chen Jian implemented the military rank system was because he knew that the military rank system was very conducive to enhancing the sense of honor and responsibility of military personnel, strengthening the organizational discipline of the army, facilitating the command and management of the troops, and greatly promoting the regularization of the army.
In fact, Chen Jian already had the idea of implementing the military rank system as early as when he was on the Solo Peninsula, but at that time, the number of the alliance army was not very large, and there were no management difficulties, and the conditions and timing were not very suitable, and Chen Jian himself did not consider maturity, so it has been delayed until now.
Jian Chen's unprecedented approach made the alliance military suddenly become fanatical.
There was no reason why they should not be fanatical, because after the detailed terms were published, both officers of all ranks, and ordinary soldiers, realized the opportunity from them.
In the past, in the armies of various countries, the rights of soldiers were not guaranteed, in this world where the feudal aristocratic lord system is still the mainstay, what kind of treatment soldiers can get, completely depends on the preferences of the army principal, and the armies of all countries only have official ranks, but no military ranks, and officers, are often held by nobles at all levels and their subordinates, even if ordinary soldiers perform well, no matter how heroic they kill the enemy on the battlefield, there is no certain chance and coincidence to get the appreciation of the army principal, and want to become officers and even generalsIt's very difficult.
Typical examples, such as the former Imperial High Priest, now a famous general who guards one side of the Alliance, the dual-line magic master Ryan, is like this, although he has considerable talent, but before he became a dual-line magic master, before he met Catherine, he was born as a commoner and could only be an obscure ordinary imperial priest.
If it weren't for Catherine's discernment, Ryan might still be in which Imperial army he would be his chief soldier now, and whether he could become a dual-line magic master is also two words.
However, the military rank system and its related promotion system implemented by Chen Jian have greatly changed this situation.
The military rank system and its related benefits have greatly protected the rights of soldiers, and the corresponding promotion system has given soldiers great hope.
As long as you train hard, as long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy, accumulate enough combat merits, have the corresponding ability, and pass the assessment, you can get the promotion you deserve.
What does this mean? This means that even the most ordinary soldier has a chance to become a high marshal!
The hearts of the soldiers warmed.
Moreover, the benefits that can be enjoyed by the rank above the rank of general have made a leap in quality and quantity, and after reading the relevant terms, many of the original small lords of Negan sighed.
If you can mix up to the brigadier general and above in the alliance army, have such a good treatment, and have such a high income, who would want to be one of those little lords who bothered to work hard?
The hearts of the officers were also warm.
In order to prove that he is not without a purpose, and further gather the morale of the army, after the promulgation of the military rank system, Chen Jian also held a large-scale award ceremony for the senior generals of the alliance army.
