Chapter 60: Cadets Go to the Front

The principals glanced at each other, and it turned out that His Majesty the Emperor was waiting for them here. It is nothing new for these third-year cadets to go to the front line, but if most of the outstanding cadets are assigned to the First Fleet, then many people are afraid that they will have to scold their mothers. What's more, the major military academies have their own counterparts. The so-called counterpart units are actually units that cooperate with and have very close ties with military academies, such as the internship sites of third-year students, as well as the main destinations of students after graduation.

Take Bal's Imperial Central Military Academy as an example, most of their students are sent to the royal fleet, because most of the cadets in the Central Military Academy are from the capital, so the composition of noble cadets accounts for the majority, so the relationship between the Central Military Academy and the fleet directly under the royal family is quite good, whether it is personnel transportation or practical training grounds, the royal fleet has always given the green light to the Central Military Academy.

Then herein lies the problem. The dignified Royal Fleet, a cadet who has been trained for three years, is about to be called up by your First Fleet, can this Royal Fleet be satisfied? A similar situation exists in all major military academies, so as soon as Lin Tiantian's question was raised, all the presidents immediately made a difficulty, and not only the presidents, but also the generals of the military department also talked about it, after all, this kind of transfer of personnel is related to the vital interests of many troops. Today, when the empire has been fighting for many years, fresh blood every year is indispensable for each fleet.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done! Now that each fleet lacks qualified soldiers, the empire has not reached the point of conscripting civilians to the battlefield, and now the main source of troops in each unit is military cadets, and conscription only accounts for a small part, if you assign outstanding cadets to the First Fleet, what about other troops? ”

"What's wrong with that? Isn't it just that all the cadets are sent to the front line, each of your schools, ah, each unit can give up a small number of cadets and replenish them to the First Fleet. Lin Tiantian said strongly. The First Fleet is not completely annihilated, and the loss of manpower is still not much, so in this way, you will be apportioned by each academy, and dozens of people from each academy and department will be solved. This question is settled. ”

The principals and generals below looked at each other and nodded helplessly in agreement. After all, this replenishment of the First Fleet's battle losses is also a current priority for the Empire, and there is absolutely no reason to shirk it. However, Principal Aaron was very relaxed, and there was no other reason for this, because the Great Counterpart Fleet of the God of War Academy was the First Fleet. However, this time the First Fleet was defeated, and many third-year students who were interning in the fleet died, so if you want to replenish the fleet, you can't do it by relying on the God of War Academy alone.

"The last question is the reconstruction of the First Star Knight Brigade." Speaking of this, Lin Tiantian also frowned. This Star Knight Brigade is no better than the First Fleet, although there is a full Knight Brigade, but there are only 300 people, which sounds very few, but most of them are Star Knight Knights above the official level, and the rest are also very experienced in actual combat, and their merits are not low Senior Reserve Knights. With so many people lost at once, it is impossible to make up for it. After all, as a high-end army, the number of Star Knights has always been scarce, and every unit is on top of the empire where it is most needed, and the combat power is simply to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and it is impossible to do this unless it is absolutely necessary. However, the First Brigade, as a heroic unit, was sacrificed to cover the retreat of the First Fleet and seize the secret device, and also left two knights as the spark for the reconstruction of the troops, so it is impossible for the whole empire to revoke the number of the First Brigade, and the reconstruction work must be started for the First Brigade.

"Your Majesty, I have a little idea about the reconstruction of the First Brigade of the Star Knights."

Lin Tiantian looked at the person who spoke, it was none other than the chief knight of the empire among the bigwigs of the imperial military department, Lin Hai.

"Your Majesty, Excellencies, I believe you all know that the official Star Knights of the Empire are very scarce, and none of the Star Knight brigades can fully achieve full full of official knights, and they all need a lot of reserve knights to fill the vacancy. There were so many vacancies in the First Brigade that it was impossible to transfer manpower from other units to fill them. Then our idea is to only hit the relatively large reserve knight class. However, the First Brigade of Star Knights, after all, is a unit with a glorious history and achievements, and it is impossible for us to use all reserve knights to fill this vacancy, which is irresponsible to the First Brigade, and it is impossible for the first brigade to be rebuilt in this way to still have qualified combat effectiveness. The two seeds left by the first brigade, as far as I know, one is a squad leader with rich experience, and the other is fresh blood who has just been promoted to a full knight. So I first proposed that the captain of the Imperial Royal Knight Brigade, which is responsible for the defense of the capital area, be transferred to the first brigade to serve as the commander, after all, the snake is not headless, although the first brigade retains two seeds, but one is new blood, and the other is a grassroots officer, and they do not have the ability and experience to lead a brigade, so they can only transfer the captain of the Royal Knight Brigade, which has a relatively easy task, to perform the duties of the commander, and the Royal Knight Brigade will temporarily serve as the captain. ”

"After the first brigade is damaged in battle, the reconstruction work cannot be completed overnight, so I suggest that the reconstruction work of the first brigade be put in the rear first, which is not only for safety, but also to leave enough time for us to select and train qualified personnel to replenish it. Here, I propose that we go into a two-step plan. ”

"First, among the reserve knights from all over the country, select reserve knights whose merits are close to the promotion level, fill them in the first reserve echelon of the first brigade, and conduct more rigorous and professional training for them, and those who pass will be promoted to official knights as appropriate, and added to the first brigade."

"Second, select a group of outstanding cadets from the mecha departments of major military academies as the reserve of the first brigade, funded by the military, establish a sound training system and facilities, and rebuild a good reserve force of reserve knights for the first brigade."

However, Lin Hai's proposal was immediately opposed by many colleagues, for no other reason, if the personnel of the fleet were transferred, and the various units were barely acceptable, the transfer of mecha cadets was undoubtedly digging the hearts of the commanders of the troops. This starry knight, even if it is prepared, which unit is not a treasure to offer, he is not enough, how can he share it with others.

Lin Tiantian listened to the group of military bigwigs arguing without grace, and pressed his aching temples, "Everyone, everyone! I also know that you must be quite dissatisfied with this transfer plan, then, we regard the work of rebuilding the first brigade as a work that is not completed in a short period of time, and I plan to use 2-3 years to complete the complete reconstruction of the first brigade, then, the cadets I and Knight Captain Lin Hai are not the current military cadets who are about to graduate, but the first and second year students. ”

Lin Hai added, "And the main thing is to transfer the students of the God of War Academy to serve as the reserve echelon of the First Brigade, after all, the students of the God of War Academy before were the main source of fresh blood for the First Brigade. Therefore, our training plan is actually a rapid training and improvement plan for the students of the mecha department of the God of War Academy, and we don't have time to wait for another 2-3 years to let this batch of students study and practice step by step, and then enter the army. Our plan is to strengthen the training of this group of cadets in addition to the school curriculum, so that they can develop combat effectiveness as soon as possible. After the initial formation of combat effectiveness, they joined various actual combat training, and even went to the front line of the First Fleet to experience battles. Principal Aaron, I wonder what you think? ”

Aaron thought for a while, "Since you have come to the military academy, you are a soldier of the empire, and a soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty. Since the empire needs the students to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible to replenish the first brigade, I have no objection. However, in terms of training, I hope that the military department will properly take into account the progress of the cadets, step by step, and not rush for quick success. After all, even if you are in a hurry, it is not a matter of one or two days for the cadets to grow into qualified fighters. ”

Lin Hai agreed, "What Principal Aaron said is Lao Cheng's words, the military department will consider all aspects when formulating a detailed plan, and will also inform you of all the contents of the plan, then, this question for students to supplement, the new students of the God of War Academy will be the largest source, and the other major academies will send a small number of personnel as exchange students to participate in this plan at the God of War Academy." Generals, rectors, do you have any other disagreement on this? ”

At this point, everyone nodded in agreement, not only because they saw the determination of His Majesty the Emperor and the Chief Knight Commander, but also because if a small number of students in grades 1 and 2 were transferred, the loss of fresh blood in each unit was not very large, and it was still acceptable.

"Very well, so that's it for today's meeting. The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of War, and the Rectors must strongly support the arrangements and plans mentioned at the meeting, the First Fleet, the First Brigade, are an important part of the Imperial Army, and are indispensable to the front line against the Fosyken Aliens. Since the young eagles will eventually spread their wings and fly, let them go to the battlefield of blood and fire to experience it. Only after experiencing a truly severe test can you grow into a qualified warrior who guards the empire and human civilization. ”
