Whoever reduces friendship to benefits is, in my opinion, writing off the most precious thing in friendship.

- Marcus Tulius Cicero (Roman statesman, orator, orator, jurist, and philosopher)

After discussing the affairs of the military school and the arrangements between Tuka and Raqqa with Luquis, Oscar asked Lucis to go out with Tuka and Raqqa; Next up is Oscar's secret conversation with Vepsani. Previously, because Oscar had never known about Sardinia, he had no time to negotiate with Vipsani about Jinyiwei; Now that he has finally toured the whole of Sardinia, Oscar can officially discuss the issue with Vipsani.

With the wisdom of Vipsani, it can be seen that Oscar kept him for the sake of Jinyiwei, so he prepared an arrangement and schedule for the current members of Jinyiwei's organization early; In this schedule, Vipsani only lists Tahiti's name separately, and the others are referred to by code names. This is also the way Oscar awarded Vipsani, in order to better make every member of the Jinyi Guard forget their original identity and only remember their identity in the Jinyiwei.

Because of the rush of time and limited manpower; At present, there are only 27 core members of the Jinyi Guard, and the agents and fighters under its command have not had time to train at all. In order to pull up the Jinyiwei organization faster, Oscar not only did not give time for the Jinyiwei to develop slowly, but put forward new requirements for Vipsani. I saw that after reading the schedule prepared by Vipsani, Oscar groaned and ordered to Vipsani:

"We are now very short on time, and the eight districts and one government have been officially established. We must immediately get the Jinyi Guard organization up and running; If there is not enough manpower, we will develop while carrying out tasks. In short, time must not be wasted on training and training for inaction; From tomorrow, Tahiti was ordered to serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei and be responsible for the operation and development of the Jinyiwei throughout Sardinia.

Of the remaining 27 core members, the best thirteen were selected to form the Sardinian Provincial Guard; They served as Sardinian thousand households and two deputy thousand households and ten hundred households. Because they were now very lacking in military strength, they were not required to carry out any tasks, as long as they gathered information within Sardinia and cooperated with the county guards. The other thirteen were tasked with setting up a small, secret base. Let's train a group of fighters and agents first; The first batch of training was set at 100 fighters and 50 agents.

And you Vipsani, don't focus on the brocade guards, and now the Augustus family has only one province of Sardinia; If Tahiti is really as good as you say, then I'm sure he will be able to handle these things. And your first task is to do a good job in the eight districts and one government, that is the top priority of the family; And those government jobs are also more suitable for you.

The power I give you is second only to Luquis. You also have to put in your efforts for this; I will hand over all the government affairs of the eight districts and one government to you, and Jinyiwei is also in your hands. So, I'll give you two months; I hope that in two months' time, by the end of the year, there will be no more voices in Sardinia that disobey the decrees of the House of Augustus. If we can't even control a small Sardinia, why should we expand beyond Sardinia? ”

Oscar's orders to Vipsani are actually contradictory; On the one hand, Oscar already wants to pull Vipsani out of the Brocade Guard organization. So the work of Jinyiwei was basically handed over to Tahiti. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the current Jinyiwei organization is too small, and Tahiti can easily take command of Jinyiwei and start to build Jinyiwei by himself.

On the other hand, Oscar hoped that Vipsani could eradicate all the local conservative forces in Sardinia through the superficial county guard force and the hidden brocade guard force. The two orders are essentially contradictory, as the purpose of the first order is to remove the Brocade Guard from Vipsani, and the second order places the power of the Brocade Guard in the hands of Vipsani.

However, such an order would not make it difficult for Vipsani; For Vipsani, as long as he can conscientiously complete the order of the eight districts and one mansion arranged by Oscar. As for the problem of Jinyiwei, it is better to solve; From tomorrow onwards, Vipsani will basically hand over the power of the Jinyi Guard to Tahiti. He can obtain all kinds of information from Jinyiwei, but he will never interfere with Jinyiwei's development and growth; It will not interfere in any internal affairs of Jinyiwei.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Oscar's suspicions. After all, this is determined by the living environment; In the previous modern society, the relationship of trust between people was very weak. And after coming to Rome, the intrigue between the upper nobles also made Oscar jealous of everyone; Therefore, appropriately limiting the power of family generals and officials has also become a compulsory course for Oscar. This is the real high place is cold; Because as the head of the family, you have to be responsible for countless people in the whole family, and you can never trust anyone easily, this is the fate of the leader.

After giving the order to Vipsani, Oscar asked Vipsani to go down and get busy; However, Oscar also asked Vepsani to bring Tahiti to meet him tonight. When night fell, Vipsani led Tahiti to the governor's palace; After dropping Tahiti outside Oscar's study, Vipsani wisely chose to leave first.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who looked like a gentleman and had a dashing demeanor, Oscar really couldn't connect him with Tahiti, who killed his father; But. When Oscar started communicating with him, it was his anomaly that he was discovered. Although he tried his best to hide himself, Oscar still found his hidden fanaticism and coldness in his eyes when he spoke.

Tahiti doesn't talk much, and when he speaks, he speaks at a normal rate; But the slightest tremor on his body betrayed him. Moreover, when he speaks, he involuntarily reveals a trace of femininity; This made him, who originally looked a little clear-eyed, a little bewitching. In general, though. Oscar was still quite satisfied with Tahiti; At least he fits more with the image of the head of the secret service in his mind.

After a cordial greeting and encouragement to Tahiti, Oscar asked Tahiti to prepare for the work of the brocade guard; Then Oscar began to plan tomorrow's military meeting by himself. The so-called military meeting is basically still Oscar's word, which is the benefit of the supremacy of the family and the supremacy of the leader; At the very least, you don't have to waste time on arguing, and you can gather the strength of the whole family to do the right thing. Of course, the first premise of this kind of thing is that the head of the family must be a wise and martial person; Otherwise, the family will be tragic.

Eight o'clock in the morning the next day. The military council in the governor's palace was convened punctually; The meeting was attended by a group of people from yesterday, but the topic was all military. First of all, it was Oscar who said to everyone:

"Because the six legions of the family have been assembled. Therefore, this morning's military meeting focused on four issues: first, how to carry out the training program of the corps; second, what the current legion lacks, and how we need to make up for these deficiencies; Third. What kind of structure should be used for the four legions belonging to the family; Fourth, how to implement the military academy plan. Now, let's move on to the first question; Luquis, you speak first. “

After announcing today's four topics, Oscar named Luquis and asked Luques to stand up and talk about the training plans of the six standard legions; Although Luquis's status in the Republic was far less than that of Quintus, his experience in warfare was recognized throughout the Republic. Undoubtedly. Luquis's age and experience determine that he is more powerful than Quintus; Otherwise, the Senate would not have agreed to let Luquis also serve as deputy commander of the Combined Sardinian Army.

Luquis took out a parchment scroll under Oscar's order, and then said to the crowd: "Although the training of recruits in the six legions is large, it is not impossible to arrange; I propose to divide these six legions into three groups, the 1st Eagle Banner Regiment with the 5th Eagle Banner Legion, the 6th Legion with the Falcon Legion, and the Eleventh Legion with the Boar Legion. three groups of legions, united in pairs; Train in a competitive way.

The training cycle is one month, and every month a big competition is held between the three groups of regiments; From individual combat, to hundred-man combat, to brigade-level engagements, and corps joint operations. The winner will receive permanent access to the barracks, and the bottom group will set up a temporary barracks for themselves. At the same time, in order to avoid contradictions between the regiments. Regrouping is held every three months; The two clans are randomly decided by drawing lots.

However, the training process is also slow; My plan is to complete the training program for six regiments in one year. Among them, in the first quarter, only the most 100-man team level competitions will be conducted; In the second quarter, the competition at the brigade level will be conducted; In the third quarter, there will be a competition between individual clans; Finally, in the fourth quarter, the two corps will be tested against each other in joint operations. In this way, we can improve the combat effectiveness of each clan in a year, and hone in the coordination between clans. “

Luquis's one-year Legion training plan was supported by everyone, and even Oscar nodded frequently at Luquis's training plan; Luquis's plan is indeed complete and realistic, and it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the legions while grinding in the cooperation between the legions. Even the incentive competition mechanism mentioned by Lucis in the plan was something that Oscar from the modern era did not expect.

Of course, our Excellency Oscar also prepared a training plan of his own last night; However, that plan was simply a copy of the physical training methods of the army in modern society, and there was no concept of the regiment cooperating with the battle. Therefore, Oscar consciously stillborn his training plan after listening to Luquis's training plan; It seems that I still think that the ancients are too simple!

Think about it too. The affairs of modern society are all products of the development of social science and technology to a certain era; Forcing modern affairs in an era of low social productivity will only be a failure. And the people living in this era will also summarize a set of effective methods in this era to solve the problems of this era, which is the wisdom of the ancients; In other words, compared with Oscar, Lucis and others have a more unique vision and approach. After all, they are all people of this era and know everything about this era.

From this moment on, Oscar reined in his own condescension to this era; It is true that knowledge is divided into ages, but wisdom is eternal. Luquis's Legion Training Program not only solved the problem of training the six legions for the next year, but also taught Oscar a memorable philosophy lesson. After Luquis finished speaking, it was also obvious to the generals that Oscar had changed; It's just that everyone doesn't know what has changed in the Oscars. It's just that it feels a little different than before.

The only person who can explain Oscar's change is Luquis, a veteran of the Augustus family; is also a member of the family who grew up watching Oscar. He had also been worried about Oscar before, because Oscar had put his mentality high above him since the Battle of Sardinia; Yes, at Oscar's age, having such a result is indeed excellent, but this cannot be the proud capital of Oscar!
