Chapter 146: Conferral of Titles

Before this expansion, the Grand Alliance will also start the officer title system.

This means that under normal circumstances, a lieutenant can lead a battalion of soldiers, a colonel can lead a regiment or even a division of soldiers, and a general officer leads a soldier of an army, but this is not rigid, that is to say, there will be many exceptions.

In many cases, status and substantive positions are not equal.

There are many advantages to establishing such a military rank system, the first of which is that there is a new way to reward officers who have made meritorious contributions. With the short-term expansion of the Grand Alliance, the positions of high-ranking officers were filled more and more, and the promotion of lower-ranking officers became difficult, even as they continued to expand and free up new positions.

After all, the Grand Alliance's army is too strong to crush other forces, and at the same time, the difficulty of making meritorious service is greatly reduced, but isn't the credit for easy achievement? This is very sensitive.

In the case of difficult promotion, the promotion of meritorious officers has become an excellent way to get out.

Military rank corresponds to salary and status, after all, a general who has no real power and a school officer who has real power, how to say it, the former is better to say.

According to Chen Ning's instructions, the rumors of the military rank system had been released long before He Ma left, and the cadres who had reached a certain height all knew that this work was promoted by Chen Ning, and it was basically impossible to face failure.

On February 1, the 33rd year of the last days, the military headquarters building of the Qinghua gathering place was gathered, and all of them had independently completed at least one task to take over at least a small gathering place, or performed prominently in the road network plan, in short, they had their own prestige and military achievements.

In principle, only the scheduled colonel rank and above can be invited to participate in this ceremony, after all, there are so many officers that I am afraid that they will not be able to complete the award of medals one by one in the past few years.

After the reform of the officer ranks, the military ranks will be divided into corporal, sergeant, sergeant, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, general, general and marshal a total of 15 ranks, including one marshal, Chen Ning, two generals, Zhang Bei and Bu Tingshan, 8 generals, this time He Ma who was deeply tasked to go to Rongcheng thousands of miles away to perform the task is also in this list.

The conference started slowly in the sound of exciting music, Chen Ning, who was dressed in a dark black general uniform and a golden five-pointed star badge on his shoulder, slowly walked onto the stage, opened the letters of appointment in his hand, and announced the list of awardees in batches, and then these people walked up to the stage one by one to accept the award.

To the fourth batch, Huang Shan bent down with a cheerful face and turned out to belong to his major general epaulette from Chen Ning's hand, he could never have imagined that just more than two years ago, he was only persecuted to go out to the field to perform tasks and met such a terrible person, let alone that he who had eaten the last meal and did not know the next meal can now wear this noble general's uniform, with a three-bar single-star general's medal, and his subordinates have mastered a division's high-precision weapons and equipment and tens of thousands of people.

The day after tomorrow, in the battle plan issued by the military department, the time for the army to start is the day after tomorrow, and he will assist in serving as the commander-in-chief of the northern expansion army Luo Bushan to carry out the expansion movement, and he is also an old officer, and he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in this award.

Homer, who was far away in Rongcheng, also received a call at this time, and when he learned that he was included in the list of the first batch of 8 generals, he danced in the room with joy.

After the failure of the last night attack, the coalition forces on the opposite side finally put out their fire, but still did not retreat, and did not know what they were doing. Of course, it was impossible for him to send troops to kill them at this time, after seeing the combat effectiveness of them and the boss of the Rongcheng army, not to mention the second child, he was really afraid that he would scare them away as soon as he sent troops.

If they are scared away, the soldiers on their side, including the officials who carry out the evolution mission, will all be dumbfounded, why should they help when the enemy does not exist? They will definitely be shirked by the Rongcheng side, saying that the agreement has been completed, and let them bring a batch of materials stipulated in the agreement to go back.

So right now, Homer's main enemy has changed from the enemy coalition to Brother Ma, who is in charge of Rongcheng. Obviously, the people of Rongcheng are not stupid, after seeing the reinforcements led by Homer so good, every day he asks him when he will send troops to kill the enemy, Homer has no good way, so he can only use the excuse that he has sent personnel to explore the main force of the enemy army every time, and how long can it be delayed.

On the other hand, the outstanding workers sent by the Grand Alliance have taken advantage of the past few days to go deep into the grassroots and get acquainted with many low-level people in Rongcheng, small merchants and hawkers, hot pot restaurant owners and other people who have been bullied.

The oppression situation in Rongcheng is no better than that of Qinghua before Chen Ning came, and the oppressive class here is about the same, the big capitalists, the corrupt bureaucrats under the rule of Brother Ma, and the privileged class with a huge number of capable people, so the sharp contradictions between the people at the bottom and the upper class here do not mean to alleviate much.

The officials of the Grand Alliance had already drawn up a whole set of plans that could be used, and Homer had seen it himself, and he was so happy that he couldn't help but urge the other party to implement it.

After several preparations, on February 4, Homa led troops to the field, preparing to intercept the Rongcheng army that might support the upper classes, and provide convenience for the officials.

Wang Xiaoliu's eyelids drooped, he didn't sleep well last night, and he got up early in the morning and had to come out to practice, and he really felt that his body couldn't stand it.

Why didn't you get a good night's sleep? However, because he made a mistake yesterday when he was practicing bayonets during the day, he also pushed the instructor's mouth, and was punished to stand outside the dormitory until midnight.

He really couldn't imagine that being a soldier would be so tiring, in the past, in the Empire, oh no, after being captured and expressing his willingness to accept reform, according to the gentlemen in the army, it should be called a reactionary force, in the past, on the side of the reactionary forces, soldiers could run rampant in the countryside and take things without paying.

Although he was dragged into the army before the war and did not enjoy such privileges, when there was no combat mission in the barracks, he was also full of food and sleep, and when he was full, although he did not eat very well, it was much better than not having enough to eat when he was a small commoner.

Here, although the food is better than before, he feels very uncomfortable, the people here are too serious, every movement has to be practiced in place, and he has to be exhausted every day to be able to rest. According to what the other veterans said, they have their own things that they want to protect, so they work hard, but Wang Xiaoliu has never been able to understand.

However, Ah Peng is very serious about completing tasks every day, Wang Xiaoliu asked him, and he only said some things that gentlemen would say in class:

"The army exists to liberate the people, not only from the threat of aliens, but also from the oppressive strata."

"Analyze the current contradictions, and we should shoulder our responsibilities."

"Protecting all families like us is what we do."
